From a 'fresh and imaginative' (The Romance Studio) voice in erotic romance come the tales of two women, each daring to challenge the boundaries of the toughest of men . . . But in these edgy, heated encounters, the greatest thing each woman will risk is her heart. In 'Over the Edge',after a tragic incident during Ty Hendricks' last tour of duty, he cut off all connection with anyone he cares about - until a night with Lauren Kincaid draws him reluctantly back into the world. Lauren sees a wounded man in danger of losing everything to his inner demons, but the sensual, no-holds-barred fight for Ty's soul could cost Lauren her heart. In 'All on the Line,'Abby Simmons fell hard for Lieutenant Sean Winthrop, but he sacrificed their relationship when he deployed to Afghanistan. Now he's home, full of regrets and intent on winning back the woman he never forgot. Abby gives Sean her body but holds her heart aloof, until one night of pleasure forces her to choose either her U.S. Marine . . . or life without him, forever. 'Scintillating sexual chemistry, wonderfully drawn characters-a total winner.'

And I like both of the novellas a whole lot for *ahem* type reasons I have deep reservations about the second, which is unfortunate because it was better characterization and more emotionally balanced. Sean is undoubtedly the more straightforward, nice hero type...but the book opens with him watching/meeting his former lover outside of her current lover's house - like - on purpose. At this point I'm like "stalking"-and there's more behaviors that were equally troubling. Still, I read on.
Ben (guy who Abby's hooking up w/ while Sean is deployed) is a police officer. None of this really stops me in my tracks until there's a incident between the three-Ben, Sean, and Abby. Because Ben and Sean decide Abby is too tired to drive and that it's unsafe and besides, she needs to talk to Sean anyway, they make sure she stays at Sean's house. They take her keys. They smash the door when she opens it and threatens to walk, Ben says he'll call any patrol for a routine traffic stop if Sean says she's left, and they'll make sure she gets a ticket. And herein lies my issue w/ so many police officer books. If he's the least bit off-like he's an imperfect hero, he's problematic. Ben wasn't the hero, but still used his power to take Abby's away, and Sean is thankful for him.
A marine and a cop. A tired woman. Just give her a fucking ride, you assholes. Because that was terrible-I think the author clearly plays with power dynamics and really does make some sexy situations out of it. But that one was too much for me. (less) [edit]
