REVIEW: VeeJay
4.0 out of 5 stars A good rollicking read.

Really enjoyed this author's first release. A good read from the first page which carried me thru to the end.
There was enough information to set the scene but not so much that the detail overloaded me.

I enjoyed the feisty, capable heroine who was a good match to the dark, handsome protector.

The story tied together at the end and I look forward to the next instalment.
