Blurb:

Alpha wolf Ridge Addison left his wife in Las Vegas, vowing to put their one reckless night of passion behind him and return to his pack. Years later he needs a divorce so he can become pack leader. Yet he’s never forgotten the sensuous witch whose life he saved…or the knee-buckling kisses he still craves.

After they parted, Abigail tried banishing Ridge from her memory. Now her heart belongs only to her son. But when the boy is kidnapped, she knows she alone can’t save him. Though Abigail’s body still aches for Ridge, she’s willing to give him his freedom in exchange for his help. But who will shield her heart from the only man she’s ever let claim her, body and soul?

Review:

All Ridge ever wanted was a family to call his own but first things first he has to find the wife of a day, divorce her, then it will be time to move on…that is if that is what he really wants. Alpha male to the very core there is just something so lovable and believable about Ridge that you can’t help but fall for the hunky werewolf. I think the thing I most admired about him was how ready he was to help anyone no matter their breed or paranormal status.

Abigail has been on the earth a long time but marrying a werewolf after one drunken night was one of the things she wished she could forget that is until said werewolf shows up for a divorce and all her plans go out the window. I have to say it took me a little while to like Abigail but once I did she was such a great character. A fierce protector of those she holds I loved how maternal she was and admired her for always putting her son first.

This was a great read.

Blurb:

Natalie Jones is the lucky survivor of an elusive killer who preys on young women and then disappears from view. And since her harrowing ordeal, the once gutsy photojournalist has remained isolated in her home, paralyzed by fear and her failing vision.

Special Agent Liam “Mac” McKenzie has scars of his own. But despite his efforts to ignore the attraction that simmers between him and Natalie, he needs her help to catch a predator. Soon, they will forge a tentative alliance—charged with desire. Through a soft-focus lens, Natalie dares to envision a future with Mac beyond the investigation…never guessing that the clues hidden within her photographs are drawing them into an explosive confrontation with a madman.

Review:

Life has handed Natalie her fair share of ups and downs but with the bad comes the good and with her life on the line there is nothing better then Mac. I have to tell you I really loved Natalie and her ability to cope, well as much as she did, with what was thrown at her. A woman with a strong spirit she never seased to surprise me with the hearty mixture of vulnerable female and independent head strong woman.

Mac has only one thing in his life, his job, but when the latest victim in one of his cases capture his attentions he finds himself caring less about the job and more about the girl. *Sigh* Mac has to be one of the best men on the planet not only is he a sexy alpha male he is also compassionate and sensual. I loved how he showed Natalie that just because she has lost her site that she is as beautiful as she ever was because in the end she really needed to hear that.

This book was jam packed with mystery, mayhem, and enough action to keep you intrigue until the very end.

Blurb:

On the outside, Romy Farrington has the perfect life—a world-famous archaeologist father, a pretty dowry and an upcoming marriage to a wealthy businessman. But to Romy, her new life among the elitists is like a punishment.

Everything changes again when she’s saved from an accident by a brash Texan in a back alley. Abel Courte may act like a care-free cowboy, but he’s harboring a secret—he’s searching for the Diamond of Uktena, a legendary jewel that can cure any disease known to man. He needs information Romy’s father has in order to get to the jewel. When he traces the origin of the Diamond to Dakota Territory, he sets off to claim the treasure, only to find the archaeologist’s fiery redheaded daughter stuck to him like a bug in sap.

Review:

Society was never her thing but none the less that is where Romantica now finds herself that is until a handsome cowboy, with his eyes on a great treasure, saves her and changes everything. I loved how independent and adventurous Romy was despite the time period she was born into. The way she talked to  Abel and other men was hilarious at times and also very brave of her to do so. If she lived in the modern day I think she would have been a force to be recon with.

Abel is on a mission to save not only his life but that of his uncles as well but when a fiery red head steps into his life his mission comes with more complications then he ever thought. I loved Abel he was a great man with awesome characteristics and charm that had me wanting more. The way he was willing to give up everything for Romy made me love him even more. He was such a valiant young fellow with a heart of gold.

This was a great read filled with the right mixer of adventure, steam punk, and love that had me captivated until the very end.

Blurb:

A competition spirals into a tantalizing game of bondage and seduction… Camri Burns, an ambitious real-estate agent, blindsides the rival she’s secretly desired for a long time. When she’s offered an all-expenses-paid trip, opportunity opens the playing field.

As the biggest earner with the most notches on his bedpost, too-sexy Jackson Pratt is determined the redheaded beauty won’t prevail. When the two-some enter into a partnership, they must distract each other in order to win.

After Jackson took credit on a past partnership, Camri isn’t letting him off the hook. In order to ultimately succeed, they’ll need to follow the rules of Under Bonded Contract. Soon she is tied in his presence. Is it love, or simply a game of sex?

Review:

Forgiveness is often something very few give and for Camri it’s hard for to let go of the past and move on but Jackson is bound and determined to get a second chance. I think what I loved most about Camri was how she was able to turn the tables on Jackson at the drop of a hat and get away with it so smoothly. I understand her hurt about the whole bet thing and I applaud the way she handled it but in the end love is more potant then any mistakes either of them could make.

Jackson made the hugest mistake of his life when he took credit for something that wasn’t his now he finds himself trying to make up for the past and to win the girl that has his heart. I wanna say poor poor Jackson but really he brought on the things that happened to him but I admired how he was man enough to make up for his mistakes. You could truly tell that he was a great man who just couldn’t seem to get it right but in the end he rectified all that and I’m glad he did.

This was a great read filled with a little bit of kink and a whole lot of love.

Review:

On the run from an abusive husband Angie is about as lost as any one person can be that is until a stroke of luck brought her to the right diner and into the arms of Nick. Angie was one hell of a strong woman. I can’t imagine living through what she had to go through and for her to turn out to be such a great woman was truly remarkable.

On the brink of opening one of the biggest clubs in the world Nick doesn’t think life can get any better that is until he meets the wounded Angie and everything changes. I wanted to hug Nick and his mother for the things he did for Angie and making her life so much better. The way he took his time with her just showed the love that he had for her and made him so sweet in my eyes.

This was a great short story filled with ups and downs and I loved every minute of it.

Blurb:

After her father loses the family fortune in an insider-trading scheme, single mom Parker Welles is faced with some hard decisions. First order of business: go to Gideon’s Cove, Maine, to sell the only thing she now owns—a decrepit house in need of some serious flipping. When her father’s wingman, James Cahill, asks to go with her, she’s not thrilled…even if he is fairly gorgeous and knows his way around a toolbox.

Having to fend for herself financially for the first time in her life, Parker signs on as a florist’s assistant and starts to find out who she really is. Maybe James isn’t the glib lawyer she always thought he was. And maybe the house isn’t the only thing that needs a little TLC…

Review:

Never having to worry about money was all Parker knew, that is until a twist of fate turned everything upside down and left her all but penniless. I loved Parker though she was brought up in a privileged world she turned out be a well rounded woman. With enough wit to have me laughing in pars and enough compassion to have me in tears at others she made for a great leading lady. And an even better mother.

Loyal to the bone James has always stayed by Harrys side that is until his boss bites off more than he can shew and ends up in jail, leaving James to take care of his only child. I simply adored James from the “Thing One” days he was compassionate and kind to Parker when the world around her crumbled. Working to help her on her feet James may have had me at page one but he made me fall in love with him in the very end.

This book was filled with plot twist after plot twist that had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I recommend this book if you like love and a little luck in second chances.

Review:

Nothing in life is free you must work for what you want and if there is one thing Nichole is good at its work, that is until her boss turns the tables on her and she falls for the sexy new DJ, now work isn’t looking so easy after all. Nichole was the perfect mix of sassy chick and hardened woman. She had this air about her that had me drawn in from page one and falling in love with her almost instantaneous. I think what I loved the most about her was the way she cared about her friends and workers so much and how she would do just about anything to keep them safe and healthy.

Now off the force Brody finds himself with enough time bring down the one bad guy he’s been waiting for without legalities getting in the way but everything changes when he lays eyes on the beautiful Nicole. What a loyal man Brody was and I loved him for it. The way he kept coming back to help Michelle, no matter what she did,truly showed his devotion and love for her. Also I think what I really liked the most about him was how, even though he was kicked off the force, he still continued to work with them that showed me he was a noble wolf with a heart of gold.

This book was jammed packed with adventure after adventure that had me at the edge of my seat and loving every second of it.

Now all Tali wants is the man who loved her enough to tell her what she didn’t want to hear, but can she win his heart back again on the trip home and find Love on Landing?

Review:

Tali only wants to escape, her failed love life, with a little get away to Paris but little did she know this trip was going to change her life forever. Poor Tali I felt so sorry for the stuff she had to go through with her ex. On the surface she seems to be a self centered spoiled brat but in reality she was such a well rounded character that really shines through the pages. The spunk she exhibits with Gavin was a pure pleasure to read and had me laughing on multiple occasion.

Gavin has a dream of one day owning his own business but for now he must work to save which mean flying for whoever pays but little did he know the next job would change everything. Is there anything more hot then a sexy as hell pilot? I think not and Gavin fits this description to a tee.  Not only did he have the looks but he had a an award winning personality that I couldn’t get enough of. There were times I wanted to reach through the pages and give him the old Gibbs slap for the things he said but there were also times I wanted to hug him because he was just so sweet.

This book was a great quick read filled with shopping, art, and the kind of attraction anyone would be happy to have.

Blurb:

Michelle Sanderson may appear to be a strong, independent woman, but on the inside, she’s still the wounded girl who fled home years ago. A young army vet, Michelle returns to the quaint Blackberry Island Inn to claim her inheritance and recover from the perils of war. Instead, she finds the owner’s suite occupied by the last person she wants to see.

Carly Williams and Michelle were once inseparable, until a shocking betrayal destroyed their friendship. And now Carly is implicated in the financial disaster lurking behind the inn’s cheerful veneer.

Single mother Carly has weathered rumors, lies and secrets for a lifetime, and is finally starting to move forward with love and life. But if the Blackberry Island Inn goes under, Carly and her daughter will go with it.

To save their livelihoods, Carly and Michelle will undertake a turbulent truce. It’ll take more than a successful season to move beyond their devastating past, but with a little luck and a beautiful summer, they may just rediscover the friendship of a lifetime.

Review:

Michelle has many inner demons to fight, after an injury in the line of duty, the first place she goes is home and its there that she finds everything she needs to make her right. Its not everyday where I read a woman wounded vet but I loved it. I felt so sorry for her and the things she had to go through not only with the PTSD but in her childhood as well. A strong woman pulls herself up when the world around her is in shambles and Michelle might not have started out strong but she sure ended up that way.

Carly has spent the majority of her life working for an Inn that she thought she would one day be a partner in but when a group of lies threatens that dream shes at a loss of what she is going to do in her life. I loved Carly she was the right amount of sass and sweetness that made me fall in love with her almost instantanious. I connected with her on a level that made me hate Michelle in the beginning but towards the end I fell in love with them both. I have to say the most admirable thing she did was stick by Michelle side when she needed it the most and that was what made Michelle my favorite.

This book was a great read filled with friendship that though tarnished is meant to be forever.

Tasked with protecting humanity from harm, the last thing Ashe Granger was searching for on his mission was his destined mate. Then, a mysterious darkeyed beauty reluctantly offered him shelter. A spark of danger—and a soul-deep recognition—ignited a burning, carnal need…

Since her family’s exile, Juliana Sabin had borne full responsibility for their safety. So when evil struck, she had no choice but to ally herself with the sexy guardian vampire. Now, months later, Ashe is back and tempting Juliana to reveal her darkest secrets…and desires. For the killer stalking the shadows isn’t acting alone—and he won’t rest until his deadly cravings are fulfilled.

Review:

Juliana is on a mission to save her family an any cost so the first person she thinks to help her is Ashe but little does she know that the one man to help her is the one man to make her burn forever. I loved how brave Juliana was and how she was willing to do anything for her family including loosing her life. It sucked how she ended up in the Wasteland but I am glad she got the ending she did. The perfect match for the alpha male that is Ashe, Juliana is just enough woman to keep him wanting more but make him toe the line whne needed.

Ashe is in the middle of Burning, a infection only male vampires can get as fates way to find a mate, so when the woman who started it all mystically shows up for him to save her he can’t help but help want her. Wow what an alpha male Ashe made. Sinfully delicious and viciously defensive Ashe made for a well rounded defender and solider for Juliana and I couldn’t get enough of him. I couldn’t have asked for a better ending with these two and I am happy they got the happily ever after they both deserved.

This was a great book filled with adventure and action.
