Sarah Sutton had heard the coyotes for as long as she could remember. She gets hit by a shock of heat lightning outside of Bangkok, New Mexico. When a gorgeous man asks if she's okay, she's almost bowled over until she sees what's behind him- a flying saucer. Yet Ralph Watkins is in need of doing damage control. Trying to control Sarah proves to be a lesson to Ralph as she's just as single-minded as he is. Between them is an overly heightened awareness as is the mutual distrust.

This story is exciting and electric as Ralph tries to cover up his identity while Sarah struggles to keep her wits in place, even when her body wants his. For Sarah, it seemed that all the heartbreak, pain and suffering she'd incurred to this point was to guide her to Ralph. Though she isn't one for predestination, at this one moment, she's tempted even as she's determined to remember what she's seen. Ralph has found the one he'd been waiting for his whole life, yet could he let it be? Could he make her forget or would their attraction prove to be more?

Evelyn Starr does a tremendous job using The Chariot Tarot in this story. You learn about the strength of both characters and how their strengths and weaknesses are in a way related, but help them both to want more for themselves and each other. You fall in love with both characters and are rooting to see what happens next. I wish it had continued further on, but that's the nature of these Tarots...to tempt and give you a glimpse of what's in store, but not to tell you the whole journey. You'll enjoy reading One Night in Bangkok for its flair and passion within the realm of the stars and our world.

THE FOOL - Ayden's Folly

Author: Alayne Warren
Publisher: eXtasy Books
Available At: www.extasybooks.com
Publishing Date: May 2004
Genre: Romance: Erotic/Contemporary
Format: Ebook download in PDF/HTML/LIT
Price: $2.99
ISBN: 1-55410-104-2

It was Analise's birthday. She was an independent woman of means, who knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid of going for it. But what she wanted was someone to love and also to fulfill her sexual desires. Enter Ayden, the fool. He'd been beaten and conned into being a stripper for his friend's cousin's birthday. He goes figuring that she's an old fogey, but then discovers a very sensuous woman before his eyes.

This romance story of an older woman and a younger man is one of passion, desire, and an immediate knowing. Though it's Analise who has doubts, Ayden, the one who thinks himself a fool, finds that change is good and that what is between them is worthwhile. The power, passion, and joy of life just flows in this story.

Alayne Warren did a wonderful job in showing the meaning of the Tarot card, The Fool as well as how the good and bad could be thought of until seen in the proper light. I highly recommend this story to any woman who wonders if she could be with someone younger as well as any man who doesn't know if they could be with an older woman. Alayne manages to create a story where you just know it's going to be hot, sultry, and your emotions are deep within it from the getgo. I can't wait for her next release.
