When a heat wave sends the sexy Navy SEAL into her bakery, … for his taste. When a heat wave sends the sexy Navy SEAL into her bakery, she finally has the opportunity to show him exactly what he’s missing…
Heat of Passion
Holly has too much on her plate to think about a serious relationship. A hot fling with a SEAL, though, is the perfect way to take the edge off. The last thing she expects is to run into her gorgeous one-night stand weeks later, and to discover that Carson wants the one thing she doesn’t: more. In the face of his methodical seduction, her resistance is crumbling…
Heat of the Storm
Will has waited fifteen years for the storm that sends Mackenzie into his arms. He’s the one man not scared of her psychic gift, and their one night of passion is enough to convince this tenacious SEAL that they are much, much more than friends. Now he just has to convince her of that…
Warning: Contains dangerously hot Navy SEALS, and heroines not afraid to take them on one—or two—at a time.

1. Heat of the Moment
(3rd POV)
Garrett and Shelby have known each other for a year and have been missing signals from each other. I enjoyed that they already had history before the short story and I thought the story had some steamy parts Ménage!
2. Heat of Passion
(3rd POV)
Carson and Holly hookup in a club. Holly takes care of her family so she decides let loose for one night. This story was really fast paced. Didn’t like it as much as the others cause these two fall in love within the timespan of a week. They had no prior history.
3. Heat of the Storm
(3rd POV)
Mackenzie and Will have been friends since she was 15. Mackenzie has uncontrollable visions that have freaked men out in the past, so she doesn’t want to give into temptation and ruin her friendship with Will. HOT! Probably my favorite out of all three novellas! I adored how Will loved her unconditionally

Review:
I am really glad that I didn’t start the series with this book. You can tell that these stories weren’t meant to be full stories. They where really short and not that well developed. They did get better as I continued reading though. It was fun to see some of the characters I’ve seen in the other book and learn how they got together.
Book 1 is about Shelby and John. Shelby and John have wanted each other for a while but both thought the other wasn’t into them. One night Shelby decides that she is done waiting. She didn’t however expect to overhear John and Carson’s conversation calling her vanilla. Proving that she isn’t vanilla she invites the two of them up to her apartment to go and have some fun.
Book 2 is about Carson and Holly. They meet at Shelby’s bachelorette party when Holly is in need of some fun after her boyfriend breaks up with her. What she thought would be one night with a guy she would never see again turns out to go a bit different when they see each other again at a wedding. Carson decided that he isn’t going to let Holly get away from him again. Holly however doesn’t want a relationship. All she wants is some fun and some hot sex.
Book 3 is about Will and Mackenzie or Mac for short. They have been friends for a long time but never took the chance to become more. Not until Mac kisses Will on a drunken night. Will sees this as a sign that she finally feels the same way about him as he has for her. However things aren’t easy seeing as Mac is scared of losing him so rather than take a chance she wants to put him back in the friend zone. That’s something Will will do anything for to avoid.
