Not So Innocent is an excellent example and it is a slow burn on top of that.

Laura Lee Guhrke is one of the few authors who knows how to write blistering sexual tension and build it up at the perfect pace until the inevitable happens. It's the excellent build up of sexual tension that makes this book so damn sexy. Is it the most erotically written book ever? No. You guys.Not So Innocent was so damn sexy. This book is basically the historical version of Linda Howard's Dream Man, except it's the hero who's in danger here. When Mick actually gets attacked at the exact time and location that Sophie had predicted, Mick is convinced that she's protecting the person who tried to kill him.

So you can imagine his skepticism when Sophie Haversham arrives at the police station claiming that she's a psychic who foresaw Mick's death at the hands of a madman. Not So Innocent is an older Laura Lee Guhrke book and what an absolute treasure it is!! If you're a fan of Murdoch Mysteries and/or Linda Howard's Dream Man, then this is the book for you!! Luckily, I'm a fan of both, so it feels like this book was written just for me 😍Īt 36 years of age, Inspector Mick Dunbar is a sexy older hero who only deals with facts, logic, and tangible things.
