| Elaine Llewellyn is a workaholic who is forced to take a leave of absence because her boss feels that she's literally working herself to death. Elaine works, not for the money or even job satisfaction, but to keep busy so that she won't dwell on the accident that took something very precious from her and changed her life forever. As chance would have it, Elaine finds herself on a deserted Maine road in the middle of a raging storm, looking for the B&B she has booked herself into for this forced bit of R&R.
Damon Thorne welcomes Elaine into his home letting her think that she found the B&B she was looking for. He has been expecting her arrival and plans to heal the wounds that keep her shut off from the rest of the world. Only Human was a completely engaging story that touched me on a deeply emotional level. Immediately, I was pulled into the lives of these characters and found myself enriched for the experience. Elaine was a woman with deep emotional baggage and it kept her from living her life. As such, she was a very easy character to relate to. Who among us could experience what she did and not be scarred by it? Damon was supremely sexy but more than that, he offered solace to our heroine. Through his actions and because of his feelings for her, Elaine was able to emerge whole from a situation that caused her to cease living and bury herself away from the world. The sex was truly the icing on the cake as it was steamy, erotic and served to satisfy the heroine’s physical and emotional needs. Ms. Teglia has always been one of my favorite authors and Only Human reinforced why I so love her work.
