Sweet Vernal Zephyr

Date with Destiny
Book 2 in the Pleasure Cruise Series
by Michelle M. Pillow & Mandy M. Roth

Academically minded, uptight Anna only agreed to go on Date with Destiny, a campy TV game show, because she wanted to win an SUV. She never dreamed that accidentally selecting the wrong prize would land her on a cruise ship full of supernaturals. At least she's bringing someone along for the ride — her best friend Winter, a kooky free spirit with a penchant for mischief.

Andre and Christian, were-panthers and twin brothers, are polar opposites as far as personalities go. One views life as a party, the other is entirely too serious. But once they meet their intended mates, this night-and-day duo can finally agree on one thing — Anna and Winter will be theirs and theirs alone before they get back to shore.

REVIEW

• A Novella, Quick and fun.


• Classic opposites attract.


• Best friends board a life altering cruise destined by the gods, unbeknownst to them.


• Anna is the naughty librarian type and I can relate to her implied social phobia.


• Winter is the free spirit there to prod her friend into pushing her boundaries.


• Andre and Christian appear to be male replicas of Anna and Winter, both approaching their dates in a different way.


• The bedroom scenes were fun exercises in control and confusion ultimately ending in hot smexin'.


• These characters are a tease at development and hint at Ms. Roth & Ms. Pillow's talent in their full length features.


• Leaves you wanting more, but in a good way. Since I've finished this story, I have found myself thinking about the characters and what will happen next. My brain doesn't want the story to be over.

MY TEASE

"I came on this trip with Anna to get some amazing sex for a week, not to chat the day away in my cabin, even if it is with a gorgeous man. Unless–"

Winter stopped just short of propositioning the hunk.

THE 5th SENTENCE

"We walked in and found ourselves in a small room with books from floor to ceiling. "
