Review: Love is a Battlefield (DreamMakers #2) by Vivian Arend & Elle Kennedy

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

Years ago it was far easier for Jack Hunter to keep his hands off his best friend’s little sister. Before they’d signed up and done a couple tours of duty, Pepper Wilson had been nothing more than an annoying tag-along brat. Only now that he’s back for good and working to make DreamMakers a success, Pepper’s home from college and determined to push his every button.

My Review:

Pepper Wilson is back from college and working for Dream Makers and she is determined to push all of Jack Hunter’s button, making it damn hard to keep his hands off his best friend’s sister in this riveting contemporary romance.

This fast paced and smooth flowing plot captivates readers with the perfect blend of suspense, drama, humor and romance. The authors bring the story to life with well written scenes and details that make it easy for the reader to picture the story as it is happening and the characters are strong, compelling and draw the reader deep into the story. Suspense and humor add depth and spice to the story ensuring that the reader can’t put the book down until the very end.

The attraction that Jack and Pepper feel for each has them both burning up with need, so when they finally give in to it, red hot passion explodes and scorches the reader with blazing hot sex scenes including a menage. The reader can’t help but get caught up in all the sexual tension that flows between these two and of course the sparks that fly in every direction as differences of opinion occur or overprotective instincts kick in, not to mention the whole boss the little sister around rule that governs most of the male species, while amusing to the reader is probable very annoying for Pepper. 

I must say that Jack is a drool worthy sexy hunk that couldn’t be more perfect, he’s certainly captured my heart. Oh yeah…I am supposed to be talking about the story – well what can I say? I was completely caught up in it from the very beginning and the authors certainly caught me by surprise with a certain twist that shall remain a secret… unless you read the book.  The whole Dream Makers concept adds a refreshingly different spin on things that adds something extra to the series and I can’t wait to read Don’t Walk Away, which just happens to be Dean’s story… is his playboy ways going to come to an end?

Dream Makers:

What are three ex-military best friends supposed to do when they’re back on US soil permanently? Parker Wilson, Jack Hunter and Dean Colter considered establishing the typical security company, but a glut on the market forced a change of plans.

After listening to a friend bemoan not knowing what to do for his girlfriend’s birthday, they realized their set of job skills left them uniquely positioned to assist the confused male masses. Any idiot can plan a perfect date if he knows his woman well enough. And anyone with recon skills can fill in the missing gaps.

About Vivian Arend:

Vivian Arend in one word: Adventurous. In a sentence: Willing to try just about anything once. That wide-eyed attitude has taken her around North America, through parts of Europe, and into Central and South America, often with no running water.

Her optimistic outlook also meant that when challenged to write a book, she gave it a shot, and discovered creating worlds to play in was nearly as addictive as traveling the real one.  Now a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of both contemporary and paranormal stories, Vivian continues to explore, write and otherwise keep herself well entertained.
