     Lauren nodded, conflicting emotions running rampant inside her. Reading people was second nature to her. One didn’t have a lot of time to make a call when the medics brought in their buddies. And there was more than one way to bleed.

     But this John McAllen, so far, was an enigma. Obviously used to being in charge, yet out on this imaginary battlefield as a private. Smooth, definitely sexy—she’d seen the way the young woman reacted to him when he posed with his arm around her. Lauren had to admit she felt a little of the same herself. The way he looked right at her, as if she were the most important person on the planet right now? The way he steered her with small touches on her arm or back, not as if she were incapable, but as if he were protecting her.

     That was it, right there. In his presence, she felt safe. As if he had the strength of body and will to fight off all her demons, both real and imagined. For a brief moment she thought of the two of them standing on a hill in a time period even longer ago and knew he’d be wearing armor and riding a white charger. Or maybe chaps and spurs and a white hat.

     The vendor came with their cones and Lauren took a good, long lick, letting the mint settle deep inside her. A slow smile spread across her face. “Is there anything better for the soul than mint chocolate chip?” she commented.

     “I can think of a few things,” John answered her, taking a lick of ice cream, twisting the cone around in his fingers. Yet his eyes never left hers, reading her body language far more easily than she read his. He had to. Lauren knew she was no good at hiding her emotions after the crisis had passed. Right now she felt safe, secure…and sexy in his eyes. She lifted her chin and took him up on his offer.

     “Oh, really? Name one.”

     “Tying a woman down and making love to her all night long.”

Reviews

“Diana Hunter tells a wonderful tale along with some leg-crossing erotica. I certainly wouldn't mind having John for a Dom.” 

~Night Owl Reviews Top Pick

“…Truly amazing, funny, sexy and of course extremely erotic and hot. A love story that has you fanning yourself uncontrollably…” 

~ Monica, Coffee Time Reviews

“There is a ton of emotional depth to the characters…[it is] a study in how when you meet that perfect balance—that soulmate, if you will—it allows you to find yourself in a different way than that in which you may have seen yourself before.” 

~Jae, Dark Diva Reviews

“Services Rendered is funny, touching, sexy, and hot…  a love story that includes, ropes, bondage, a dominant man, a strong woman, and has a down to earth feel…” 

~ Sizzling Hot Book Reviews

"Good book that explores a woman's introduction to the BDSM lifestyle."

Angie, Goodreads

If you're still reading this far down, good on you! Just adding a note to state why this cover is different from the others in the series. The male model on the cover is John Fish - a truly nice guy and a gentleman in the old meaning of the word. John McAllen, the protagonist in Services Rendered, is somewhat modeled after him...so it only makes sense he graces the cover of the book he inspired!
