Love with a beautiful stranger isn’t so strange—if you believe in destiny.

Celestial Seductions, Book 1

Clinical psychologist Destiny Walker considers herself far too logical for any of that “soul mate” nonsense. Even if her beloved, dearly departed Nana insisted she was going to meet hers someday. When a sudden downpour sends her ducking into a psychic reader’s storefront—and the woman confirms everything her grandmother said—doubt begins to sneak into the corners of her mind.

A chance meeting—more like a collision—with Superman look-alike Reece Kellan sets off a sexual chemistry reaction the likes of which she’s never felt. She isn’t prone to falling into bed with strangers, but he does things to her body that leave her breathless…and unsure where her pleasure ends and his begins.

And that’s the part that scares the hell out of her…

When I noticed that Eden Bradley was having a giveaway on the Smutketeers Blog I jumped at the chance to win a title from a new-to-me author.  I rarely read short stories but I thought this was a great opportunity.  As luck would have it, I won!

Destiny is a sensible kind of woman and when her grandmother tells her she is destined to meet her soul-mate she shrugs it off as silly nonsense.  However when she meets Reece the sexual chemistry between them is undeniable.  They quickly escalate their new friendship to a physical relationship and in doing so they make a connection on a completely different level, one that frightens them both and leaves Destiny to wonder if soul-mates really do exist.

Eden Bradley knows how to heat up the pages in a hurry.  She creates sexual tension and love scenes that will get your heart racing.  But she also creates characters that are realistic and fun to read.  If you’re looking for a quick, sexy read to warm you up, then Winter Solstice is just the ticket.  I enjoyed Ms. Bradley’s style and look forward to more in this series as well as her other titles.

Stop back by later today for an interview and giveaway with Eden Bradley.  She’ll be offering 2 e-book copies of  Winter Solstice.

    I haven't read this one but I've read Spring Equinox (the second in the series) and thought it was very good with the exception of one scene that threw me. This is an author I'd read again. I'm gonna have to check out this one.

  2. Lynette–I started Spring Equinox last night but had to give in and sleep. Stupid sleep. :) I'll finish it today sometime though. Glad to hear you thought it was good. Stop back later today because Eden is giving away two copies of Winter Solstice.

    I do love a quick romance story every now and again. Especially after I've read a long, drawn out novel. Keeping this one in mind, lovely review. Thanks!
