Francine Daniels doesn’t trust men. Not since two husbands and a con artist ruined her life. After years of struggle – during which she took back control and soared to new heights – there is no place in her plans for a German hottie…Even if she does burst into flames at his touch.
Heicke Brewer already made one disastrous trip down the aisle, and never plans to go that route again. He prefers the parade of international beauties lined up outside his bedroom door to enjoy his ‘satisfaction guaranteed’ reputation…Until he meets an American pixie too hot not to handle.
Francine tugged the strap of her bulky carry-on bag over her shoulder, using a little hip action to help sling it back into place. Exhausted from her nine hour trans-Atlantic flight, she positioned the hotel keycard at the slot and considered how much a hot bath would help her relax, maybe even make it easier to adjust to the new time zone. The case bounced against the door and it sprang open. Not afraid, but aware a woman alone needed to be careful, she nudged the heavy oak with her shoulder and looked inside the suite.
No sounds came from within, but the sun shone through the lacy sheers spreading an intricate web of light and shadow across the dark blue carpet. She gingerly stepped into the living room and scanned the area as she headed toward the dark wooden desk. Her overloaded garment bag caught on the thick nap as she dragged it behind. She jerked it free and snapped off one of the plastic wheels, then swore under her breath.
An involuntary shiver ran up her spine. She blew out a puff of air and white wisps drifted toward the ceiling. This will never do. With a thud her carry-on hit the floor and she pivoted around the room, searching for the thermostat. Not seeing one, she walked toward what should have been the bedroom and caught her reflection in a gilt framed mirror. Long flights were not her friend, she thought, fingering the spikes into place.
She pushed open what had to have been the bedroom door to be welcomed by every healthy woman’s fantasy. Standing at the top of a ladder the longest pair of muscular legs were spread wide, covered in designer jeans pulled snug across a perfect rear

4 ANGELS from Fallen Angel Reviews
Ms. Taylor has written a story that takes the reader on a journey of the love between an older woman and her insecurities and the younger man who doesn’t see age at all. The two characters are intriguing in not only the developing relationship but in their own personal growth. The supporting casts of characters are just as interesting and flesh out the story to bring a delightful tale of love, sexual heat, and friendships to the enjoyment of the readers. When an author can describe a city or country and make the reader feel as if they are there, that is a good story teller, and Ms. Taylor certainly doesn’t disappoint. She brings the story to life with not only her descriptions of Germany and Italy, but also with her characters.

4 CUPS from Coffee Time Romance Reviews
Francine on Fire is a sizzling read; like someone striking a match and setting the room a blaze. With twists and turns that stumble in their path, Sloane Taylor creates characters that spring from the pages. Francine and Heicke share moments of learning to trust and love. I found this an entertaining read with realistic individuals facing real problems.
