And the last thing I want to do is get involved.
But when I overhear the plans to abduct her on the eve of her wedding, I know I have to do something.
My past stops me from going to the authorities, and I don’t know how deep this conspiracy goes in the small town of Mirror Lake Mountain, so asking for help is too risky.
I can only trust myself.
I have no choice.
To keep her safe, I’ll have to kidnap the pain-in-the-ass heiress myself.

•••••
REVIEW:AXEL is the first instalment in Penny Dee’s contemporary, adult MEN OF MIRROR LAKE MOUNTAIN erotic, romance series of ‘Spicy Bites’ novellas. This is bride to be Lauren Carmichael, and hotel worker Calder ‘Axel’ Christofferson’s story line.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Lauren and Axel) AXEL follows the building romance and relationship between Lauren Carmichael and Calder ‘Axel’ Christofferson. On the eve of her destination wedding, Lauren Carmichael finds herself the possible target of a potential abduction only to have a hotel worker claim he is there to rescue and save her life. Hiding out in Axel’s mountain cabin, Lauren will learn that her life is worth twenty-five million dollars but the who and why would take her by surprise. What ensues is the quick building romance and relationship between Axel and Lauren, and the potential fall-out as information comes to light about Axel’s past, and the truth about the person behind the plans to abduct our story line heroine.
The relationship between Axel and Lauren begins acrimoniously when Axel steps in to save Lauren after hearing about a kidnapping plot against our story line heroine. Believing her life in danger, Lauren goes with Axel, only to realize she may have ran from one attempted kidnapping, into another. Axel’s attraction to Lauren is immediate but knows Lauren’s life is spiralling out of control, and she is technically engaged to another man. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.
We are introduced to Axel’s cousins Ragnar and Cooter, as well as Lauren’s fiance Vince Preston, her father Christoper Carmichael and Sheriff Willard.
AXEL is a story of betrayal and vengeance; secrets and lies; second chances and love. The fast paced premise is engaging and captivating; the romance is hot and heavy; the characters are energetic and colorful.

“There’s only one bed,” she says.
“Yeah, but it’s big enough for two.”
“You can’t be serious.”
She tries to look mortified. But I can see the heat in her eyes.
“Oh, I’m serious.”
“Can’t you take the couch or something?”
“Why, when the bed is big enough for the both of us?” I cock an eyebrow at her. “Or are you worried you won’t be able to keep your hands to yourself?”
Indignation replaces her look of horror and she raises her eyebrow. “Oh, I assure you that isn’t the case.”
I sit down on the bed and pat the space beside me, grinning wickedly at her.
While she stands across the room and murders me with her eyes. “I’ll take the couch.”
I shrug. “Suit yourself.”
She folds her arms. “You’d seriously make me sleep on the couch. So much for chivalry.”
“I’m not making you do anything.” I pat the bed again. “There’s plenty of room.”
Her arms fall to her sides as she gives in. “Fine. But I’m building a giant pillow wall between us.”
I can’t help myself and laugh. For something so little, she sure has a lot of spunk.
I stand up and take a step toward her.
“Knock yourself out. But look at me, darlin’, I’m a big man. You should know I can huff and I can puff, and I can blow that giant pillow wall down.”
My voice is gravelly. Rough. And flowing with the lust I’m feeling coiled in my belly. The push and pull between us is turning me on, and I’m aching to give in to the hunger and take her mouth with mine.
Again, her throat works hard as she struggles to swallow.
Yeah, she’s turned on. Mortified, yes, but turned on, nevertheless.
Her eyes sharpen. “You should know, I’m a light sleeper and did martial arts for six years.”
“Good, I like it rough.”
She raises her chin. “Don’t be fooled by my size. I may be small, but I can kick ass.”
“Rougher the better.”
It is a war of wills now. And it’s making me fucking hard.
“I know what part of the body to aim for to cause the most impact.”
I take a sweeping look up and down her beautiful body. “Ditto.”
Her jaw tightens. “I’ll escape while you’re sleeping.”
“Maybe I’ll tie you to the bed.”
She gasps. “You wouldn’t dare!”
I’m not sure why, or how, or what the fuck is happening, but before I can get any understanding of the situation, I back her up toward the bed and she has no choice but to sit down. She looks up at me, her eyes blazing.
And in that second, I know without a doubt I am going to tie her to my bed.
Penny Dee writes contemporary romance about rockstars, bikers, hockey players and everyone in-between. She believes true love never runs smoothly, and her characters realize this too, with a boatload of drama and a whole lot of steam.
