About this ebook

A tarnished Russian genius. A blinded CFO. A shocking interview that opens more than Jack's eyes...


No, really, I’m not afraid of anything. Born and raised in Russia, I’ve seen things. I’ve experienced things that I’ll take to the grave. After our parents died, my sister and I began another life…in America. Seems men aren’t much different in the land of opportunity. And when a once in a lifetime career choice pops up on my radar, I go for it, despite the fact that the CFO of the company looks like he wants more than just my list of references. When Jack Ford turns his back, I ready myself, but instead of taking a piece of what’s being offered, for the first time in my life…a man surprises me.


***


Kristina’s resume is unfounded. She looks great on paper, and she’s even better in person. Her articulation is at a level of professionalism and passion that is unsurpassed, and she can demonstrate that ability easily when given a sample task. This first interview goes off without a hitch. And then I find her later in a place where I would never expect her to be. My brothers instantly veto me bringing her in for a second interview, but something draws me to her, despite that. But when the second interview ends in a shocking and unforgettable twist, I walk out of there shaking her hand, not realizing that I’m in the presence of a woman who will help me a hundred times more than I will ever help her.

"May Explode if Heated is the fifth and final book in the Ford Brothers series and is a great conclusion to the series. Jack Ford is the last of the brothers to fall in love and swears that it is not going to happen, until Kristina. The characters are well developed and likable.

"This was a charming romantic tale to read. The story was good and well written. All characterizations were well defined and easily disseminated in this large ensemble cast.

Sandra Alex has written a 5-star book that will grab you from the first page to the last. Jack and his brothers own an airline company that they inherited when their father passed away. Jack is the CFO in charge of the accounting department and he is in need of another accountant. Kristina applied for the job and Jack gives it to her. Jack finds out that the person that is in charge of the foundation has just turned in her one week notice. Jack decides to offer the job to Kristina and tells her the job is hers if she wants it. She takes the job and she and Jack start working together and as they spend more and more time together they develope feelings for one another. Jack knows that he can't do anything about those feelings because of a clause in the company policy against getting personal with the staff. Kristina is there when Jack needs someone to help him one night when they are working late and he suffers one of his migraines and he is in a lot of pain. Kristina knows what he is going through because her sister has migraines also. She takes him home and gets him into bed, she stays with him just in case he needs some help. Jack is out with one of his brothers and on the way back to his home and he turns on the scanner when he hears that a house has caught fire and it is near Kristina's so he wants to go and check on her. When they get there he discovers that it is her house that has burnt down and now they have nowhere to go. He offers the girls his basement apartment until they can find somewhere else to live. Kristiana and Jack give in to the attraction to each other and now she is worried that it will cause trouble for Jack. He tells her that he will take care of it. The policy that he is looking for doesn't exist, it is just something that his two oldest brothers made up. Jack gets mad at his brothers over this when he gets home he tells Kristina that he is going to do some work in his office. She goes downstairs to bed but is woke up when she hears a loud noise upstairs. She goes to see what is going on. She finds Jack on the floor passed out and hurt. She tells Yolanda to call for help. Jack has had one of his migraines and now he is in the hospital in a comma. Kristina and Yolanda both keep things going at work and she stays by Jack's side the whole time he is in the hospital. The brothers see how Kristina is with Jack and they know they made a mistake. They try to get Kristina to go home to get some sleep but she will not leave him at all. How will the brothers react to the knowledge of Kristina and Jack being together? Will Jack get Kristina or will she leave so he doesn't get into any trouble? This was a wonderful book to read and I would recommend it to anyone. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This intriguing story has a lot of layers that you have to unwrap around the characters. Jack and Kristina relationship is stormy but a calm is on the horizon. Will it remain given their relationship! This is a well written story with developed characters some that really makes us want to do bodily harm. Once you start this book you will not be able to put it down it is just that good! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Meet your next book boyfriend.


Love stories that could actually happen.


About the Author


Sandra has been writing poems and short stories since middle school, and writing full length, self-published novels since 2010, using several pen names.


Writing full-length steamy romance series has quickly become a love for this author. Her stories have elements of humor, family issues, suspense and personal growth. Her books take the reader right into the bedroom with the characters to feel the same intensity as the lovers do in the story. Sandra's goal is to have the reader rooting for the main couple...and she doesn't disappoint.


You'll find this author working out weekday mornings at ungodly hours. She's gluten and dairy free, and is probably the only person on earth who doesn't do coffee or chocolate.


Her favorite movie is Bohemian Rhapsody, her favorite tv shows are Friends and The Connors. She's also a die-hard Rocky fan and has read the Fifty Shades trilogy and watched the movies more times than she cares to admit.


Sandra is married with two daughters and is a lover of all things four-legged, including her own two furbabies.


The Ford Brothers series focuses on five swoon-worthy brothers who each served in the military, and lost their billionaire father suddenly, which left them to run his airline after his death. Each book features one brother, but they make appearances in all five novels.


The Miles for Love series is about unexpected love, and it features the Lynch family; four brothers and one sister, who are each passionate, imperfect, and are just like you and I...but way sexier and with much more interesting lives. They are very individual and each have a unique story to tell.


In case you haven't guessed, the titles in the Ford Brothers series have been inspired by hazard warning signs, an idea the author came up with after completing a health and safety course prior to starting the series.
