As we meet Lea Martin, she's in the most heart-grabbing situation: saying goodbye to her older brother Ward as he goes off to war in the Middle East. She expects she'll miss Ward and worry about him every day. She doesn't expect the goodbye kiss she gets from Ward's best friend and fellow soldier, Mike Holt. Lea had never thought of Mike in that light before. His kiss is so unbelievably sensual, Lea makes Mike promise to come back to her.
Ten months of pent-up fantasies later, Mike comes home on leave, and paying Lea a visit is high on his to-do list. Will he be the man she's been imagining while he's been gone? Could things between them ever be as good as that first kiss?
In On Leave (Erotique Press, 2006, $3), Lois Bonde answers these questions with a moving (and totally hot) portrait of a friendship becoming much more. Bonde turns up the heat, and still never lets us forget the complicated emotions that move Lea and Mike. The moment Mike's leave ends and he and Ward must go back to war provides just the right amount of suspense, but it's the love scenes that make this e-book impossible to put down.

You're welcome, Amy. I had such fun playing your "flour" game, by the way.
This sounds hot! And, right up my alley too! My favorite subject in romances is the friendship turned love concept.
Oh, and if you have the link to the website, send it via email, thanks. I would really love to read this one.
