Either that or I’ve completely and totally imagined reading it. That last one worries me the most since I really enjoyed it. I think. I would know for sure if I could find it. I’m just having a difficult time believing my imagination was that good.
Sigh.
I’ve been searching for it for the last two days and coming up dry. I believe it was an ebook but I haven’t found it anywhere in my files, eBookwise or otherwise. I haven’t even found any evidence that I ever bought it from any ebook source. Of course, that would be easier to do if I could actually remember which publisher it was from! What gets me is that I started looking for the book over the weekend because I remembered the story and thought it would be a good idea to look and see if the author had written anything new. Only I don’t know who the author is. I’m beginning to think maybe it was a freebie on some author’s website but that only brings me back to wondering which one and why I can’t find the file even then. Oye. I honestly don’t think I’m confusing this with a possible print story in maybe an anthology but I suppose that’s possible.
Anyway, the basic gist of the story is an Army officer is transferred back stateside from the war, most likely Iraq, and takes up with his best friend’s little sister, who has had a big crush on him, more or less for years. She starts noticing odd things about him as their relationship progresses. Mainly, he seems to be having these odd spurts of extra strength and then weakness. Then someone tries to kidnap or kill them. The full story comes out, more or less, as they make a run for his base and the rest of his team. So, we’re talking paranormal romance mixed with with a bit of action/adventure. Possibly erotic heat level, although I’m not sure about that because I don’t remember all that may sex scenes.
Any ideas?
