5-Books!! The Man Hunt was an absolute delight to read. Ms. Campbell has done a wonderful job of creating characters with real, believable emotions and issues, making the story one that will pull you in from the first page. Complete with good heat and a story that moves well, it had my fingers rushing to keep up with my eyes. Vivid descriptions bring the characters to life and kept me panting till the end. Without a doubt, Ms. Campbell has just found herself a new fan. This story is going into my keeper folder on my PC. Great job, my dear, you have done a superb job! ~~ Wisteria / Long and Short Reviews
Well, well, well. This is another one that I have to give snaps to. A Hot, Sexy, romantic story that will weave it’s way into your heart and soul. With characters who are very easy to relate to and fall in love with, it makes this story very well rounded. Very imaginative and well thought out, I had no trouble following along and laughing at a few of the funny things that happen along the way. I really got pulled in by both hero and heroine. I could easily feel the emotions driving them both. This is a great read that I will read again. and again. and………well you get the idea
Who would have thought that a therapist could be as sexy as Ms. Campbell has made Jordon? And Brock? Well he is just a stud all the way around, no doubt about it. Congrats, Ms. Campbell, I look forward to reading more from you in the future. At a reasonable $4.50 for 220 pages of total hotness, I found it totally worth every penny! ~~ Seriously Reviewed
4-Rating The Man Hunt pleasantly combines romance, sensuality, and a bit of suspense to capture the avid interest of the reader. The book is well-written and the story flows very well. It was easy to read and kept me on edge wondering what would happen next. Ms. Campbell has a knack for telling a story and bringing it to life. I will be putting her on my list of authors to watch. ~~ The Book Wenches / Teagan

Jordan groaned and dropped her head to the table, resting it on the opened newspaper. She worked her hands between her head and the paper and massaged her aching skull. How could it have come to this? Sure, Erica was only thinking about her, but an ad in the newspaper? Oh, God! Still, desperate times called for desperate measures. Didn’t they? She’d been without a man since Kenneth left. Kenneth, the man she thought she’d spend the rest of her life with. The man who broke her heart when he married her wealthy stepmother. And now they were coming for a visit. Like she wanted to see him. No way she’d let either of them see her without a man.
As much as she wanted to yell and cuss at her secretary for placing the ad, Jordan had to admit hiring someone to portray her boyfriend wasn’t a bad idea. Especially since she was running out of time.
Humiliation spread through her at the thought of Kenneth discovering how much he’d hurt her two years ago. Especially after he laughed in her face and told her she’d never have another relationship. Then again, he always thought he was God’s gift to women. Oh how she wished her stepmother hadn’t gone against her advice and married the jerk anyway. Not that she blamed her stepmother. Kenneth had been so conniving and convincing. It made Jordan ill just to think of it.
A warm hand touched her shoulder, before the intoxicating scent of male spice lured her from her thoughts. “Excuse me, miss. Are you all right?”
Why did everyone ask her that? She huffed, ready to give the stranger a set down if he thought she was an easy pick-up, and raised her head. She sat up, turned toward the intruder, and opened her mouth to speak. The words got lost. It took a minute to remember to breathe.
Absolutely gorgeous!
His freshly-shaven, square jaw emphasized his slightly pointed nose and highlighted a beautiful smile. Dreamy! Sexy! Even in the smoke-filled shadows of the bar, Charlie’s Passion, his dark hair grabbed her attention – cut short and slicked back, just the way she liked.
His eyes hypnotized her. Because of the shadows, she couldn’t detect a color, but it was as if his wide, radiant eyes saw right through her. For a moment, she caught a glimpse of a wild wolf lurking in their depths.
She shivered and blinked a few times to see if the image disappeared. Was she dreaming, or was there really a man so incredibly good-looking, so incredibly sexy in this bar?
“Miss? You all right?” he spoke again, mentally shaking her from her stupor.
She nodded. “I was just…hmmm, well…” She glanced down at the wrinkled paper. “I was reading the paper.”
His smile widened, and he slid into the seat beside her. His eyes drifted to her head. “With your forehead?”
She chuckled and rubbed the still smarting tender spot. He brushed her fingers away. Heat from his skin pierced through her like a lightening bolt.
“There’s something on your forehead.” When he leaned closer, his rock-hard chest bumped her shoulder. Warmth spread through every limb right down to her toes. His raspberry colored tongue peeked over his lip, just as he slid his thumb across it. When he lifted his hand to rub off the mark, she couldn’t take her eyes off his face. The liquid heat on his thumb burned her skin like molten lava, making her insides tremble.
“The paper left its mark on you.”
She swallowed hard. Not just the paper left its mark, so had he.
He brought his hand down, brushed it against her cheek, and rested his elbow on the table. His upper body blocked her from any exit she might have planned. Although what woman in their right mind would want to leave with a hunk sitting so close? As strange as it seemed, this man aroused something deep inside her, something she didn’t know existed. Even her nipples snapped to attention. Something was definitely wrong with her.
