He has met the enemy...but he's never fought desire like this.

Red, Hot & Blue, Book 7

Deployed in the deadliest place on earth, Army Staff Sergeant John Blake relies on caffeine, adrenaline, years of training and sheer force of will to get through his days. He has no problem with his tank crew passing around a sexy romance novel, but John's a fighter, not a lover. He'll pass.

Winding up as the author's accidental pen pal wasn't in his plan, but there's something about her sweet, caring emails that has him looking forward to checking his inbox.

Week after week, Maureen Mullen, aka erotic romance writer Summer Winters, has dated one loser after another in a quest to find the last decent man on earth. Now it seems she's found himâ??halfway around the world. When it comes to falling for unavailable men, she's batting a thousand.

Gradually, the emails between the war-hardened warrior and the writer of passionate prose heat up to the point of keeping them up warm and wanting at night. Soon they're wondering if it's possible to build something solid out of cyberspace, or if it's just an emotional mirage that will dissolve in the heat of reality.

Warning: Contains some steamy phone calls from the war zone and one hell of a sexy first meeting between two strangers who are already in love.… (meer)

How do you imagine an erotic romance writer? Sexy, gorgeous and uninhibited? Or better plain jane type, petite and single? Maybe the answer is simple cause a bombshell can't have the time to write romance and instead plain jane yes, so Maureen, our heroine, is a white collar by day and a writer by night. She has also a tender heart and a pen pal, a soldier stationed in Iraq. She writes to him and sends him gifts and goodies and also her latest book: a romance only for women but Jazzy, the soldier, reads it and likes it and passes it to his mates. And Maureen, better Summer, her pen name, becames a legend among the men. John, Jazzy's boss, images her like an old granny with kinky thought. But then he has to write her about an accident occurs to Jazzy and they start a steamy online relationship. An ocean and a war separate them, but hope never dies...

This is the 'classic' romance: Maureen is sweet and a dreamer, she dreams the perfect man. She is maybe like a lot of modern women, charming but not stunning, clever but not a genius, nice but not overwhelming... in other words she is the typical woman that you must have the time to appreciate, a quick date of a night is not enough. John is not a man of strong passion: oh, he is passionate, when he decides that he has found the right woman, but she has to be THE RIGHT one. But he is somewhat the last romantic on earth: he can fall in love without never meeting his lover.

Another 'classical' side of the romance is the 'crescendo' plot: the love between the two characters starts fast in the beginning of the book to grow slowly afterwards till the hot happily ever after ending; a right dose of 'hot' candy in the middle maintain hight the attention of the reader, but not fully satiate him till the end.

This is a book that appeals to who wants to read about sweet romance and good feelings, who believes in the happy end and in the true love, and maybe who has an old fashioned way of think.
