Book Description:

Tori Duarte’s big dreams to be a video game designer…well, they haven’t panned out. And a girl’s gotta eat. Enter: the Stadium, a secretive video game gambling ring. As a world ranked eGamer, winning should be cake. Until it’s not. Gambling debts suck her in deep.

A chance encounter with the media shy, ridiculously handsome video game CEO Noah Harrison offers her a way out. The deal: 1) Assist the FBI to catch the underworld eGaming kingpin (doable but dangerous). 2) Keep the FBI connection secret by pretending to date Noah (not optional but keeping it PG is problematic).

Noah’s never been more attracted to a woman in his life. Maybe because he’s never been the focus of anyone as sexy, smart, and badass as Tori. But while the dates are fake, the threat to Tori’s life is real. What neither expected was an explosive chemistry that’s more than convincing—it’s sizzling. Falling for each other is the most dangerous thing they could do…

MY BOOK REVIEW

RATING: 4 out of 5 Stars

OFF HER GAME (The Game Lords Book 1) by Zoe Forward is the first book in a new romantic suspense series set in the unique world of on-line gaming. The suspense plot was very intriguing and keeps the pages turning. The romance has a gamer nerd turned hot hunk game creator, rich CEO still being a nerd in personal situations in a fake relationship with a feisty, sexy female gamer, game creator.

Tori Duarte is ranked as one of the top female gamers in the country. She attended MIT, she can program and code and she has a video game she is trying to sell. She also has a big chip on her shoulder because of the gender bias in the gaming world. When she needs help with money, she gets involved in a secretive on-line video gambling ring called the Stadium. The game is rigged and she just keeps getting further and further in debt.

CEO Noah Harrison is co-owner of a major gaming company. He is set up on a chance meeting with Tori. He lost his brother to the Stadium and is now helping with an FBI sting. He wants Tori’s help to stop them from killing more people and bring them to justice. They will pretend to date to cover for the FBI.

Tori and Noah play at dating, but with the sparks flying between them, could this lead to more? As they are caught up with this dangerous cyber-criminal, the stakes continue to rise. Can Tori get out of the Stadium to have a real relationship?

Tori and Noah were an interesting pairing. The shy CEO who is inept with women, but can sure turn it on and take control during sex with the snarky, but insecure gamer girl. When they were together it was really hot, but I felt the author pulled them apart too frequently. There was too much insecurity coming from such a supposedly smart and talented heroine. The sex scenes were explicit, but not over the top. All of the secondary characters were well fleshed out and I am looking forward to seeing how the author continues on with their stories, also. I did like the twist during a very well written suspense plot when the heroine faced the kingpin without the hero at her side. Overall, I loved the suspense plot and that the Stadium plot will arc over future books with this book having a complete HEA romance.

I can recommend this first book in this new series and I am looking forward to reading more.

Book Description:

Tatiana Jones is no stranger to the battlefield. One look at her scarred flesh tells the tales of her time in captivity. But it’s not only her skin the bears the marks her failures, doubt and a healthy dose cynicism now clouds her vision. She has also mastered the fine art of deception. In her line of work it is a necessity.

My Book Review:

RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars

BROOKS (Gold Team #1) by Riley Edwards is the first book in a new romantic suspense series which will have crossover with Susan Stoker’s new Legacy SEALs series. This book takes off from the first page with ex-SEALs, ex-military, spies, action and suspense that engrosses you in the story and keeps you turning the pages.

Tatiana Jones knows the risks of being a spy intimately. Ex-CIA and working for a private firm now, she has the scars on her body from days of torture. She made a mistake. Now she is out for revenge.

Former SEAL Brooks Miller is now working for Z Corps. Z Corps is a private special-ops company with no shortage of contracts for their highly specialized work. He loves his team and the freedom of working for a private company.

While in Bahrain, the Gold Team’s latest mission crosses Tatiana’s mission with an assassination attempt on her life. Brooks does not know what it is about this snarky, sarcastic female, but he sees beyond her attitude and scars to the emotionally wounded female inside. Tatiana does not have time for this man who sees far too much. She is out to get the man who left her life in ruins.

Brooks has Tatiana’s back and she has his, but will it be enough as they face multiple enemies and life and death situations?

This book is fast paced, exciting, emotional and hot. Brooks is the definitely an alpha hero, but Tatiana is with him every step of the way with her kick-butt self. Tatiana’s emotional past includes a failed marriage to a mentally abusive adulterer and physical torture from terrorists which makes her exterior tough, but Brooks works to prove to her that that is not who she is. Ms. Edwards does an excellent job of balancing emotional turmoil, hot sex, action and suspense. The suspense plot twist and turns with surprises and thrills. The sex scenes are explicit and steamy. I started this book and could not put it down.

I am looking forward to reading many more books in this series!

Book Description

DEA Jason Walker became a widower at Twenty-eight. Two years later he’s still torturing himself with guilt. They’d married young, and she’d been his first love, but her illness changed everything. They’d fought a losing battle and he’d held her to the very end. Now he just wants to be left alone with his misery and memories.

Mercy James is no stranger to grief and loneliness. Her brother’s death of a drug overdose, and her police officer father’s death in the line of duty were the driving forces behind her pursuit of a career in the DEA. In spite of—or maybe because of—her past, Mercy doesn’t believe in feeling sorry for others, or for herself.

When a case brings Jason and Mercy together, and their attraction heats up, can her tough, straightforwardness help Jason learn to live in the light again? He’d lost his first love, but is he ready for a forever love?

***

My Book Review

RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars

FINDING MERCY (The Next Generation Series Book #3) by Riley Edwards is her new romantic suspense in the Next Generation Series. This generation of brothers, sisters and cousins are all a close extended family who serve in a variety of ways and in each book they meet their perfect match. This story is especially emotional and leans more to the romance of the story than the suspense. It can be read as a standalone because the crossover family characters are easily explained by the author.

DEA Agent Jason Walker married his first young love. He was faithfully by her side through her battle with cancer, but it changed their relationship. When the cancer returned, he refused to leave her side and held her until she died. For two long years, he has pushed his family away and wallowed in his self loathing, memories and misery.

DEA Agent Mercy James knows what it is like to grieve and be alone. Her mother died while giving her birth, her brother died of a drug overdose and her father died avenging his son’s death. Even with her loss, Mercy works to keep an upbeat attitude and moves always forward with her career and life. She also recognizes the sadness in Jason’s eyes.

When Jason and Mercy are partnered together on a case, sparks begin to fly. Mercy is straight-forward and a breath of fresh air in the self-imposed isolation Jason has surrounded himself in. He cannot resist her and her love of life. After having lost his first love, can Jason move forward to claim the forever love that Mercy is offering him?

This story had me emotionally wrapped up in Jason’s past and present. Ms. Edwards’ writing was so authentic in regards to how we can become so caught up in an emotional loop in our heads and how we need family, friends, whomever to sometimes help us find a way out. Mercy is a strong heroine which I always enjoy reading about. The sex scenes are explicit, but not gratuitous to the story. The suspense subplot in this book took a backseat to the romance, but it was a page turner especially at the end and it did tie into hopefully the next book in this series.

I can highly recommend this book and the whole series for a great romantic suspense read!

My Book Review:

RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars

BURNING FOR AUTUMN (On Call #1) by Freya Barker is the first romantic suspense in a new series in Susan Stoker’s Badge of Honor World focused on Police and Firefighters. I LOVE Freya Barker’s writing and was very excited to see her entering one of my favorite romance worlds. This book is smoking hot and does not disappoint!

Autumn McCoy accepted a one year work contract for a special program in a new burn unit in Durango. She is sad to leave her girlfriends behind in San Antonio, but she believes she needs to shake up her staid life. She knows she needs to get out and when she takes up the invite of a new friend to meet at The Irish, a local pub where firefighters and police hangout, she runs into an arrogant, but handsome man. Two strong personalities butt heads, but there are sparks there that Autumn is not sure she wants to explore.

Acting Chief of Police, Keith Blackfoot is sick of the politics and responsibilities of being Chief. He wants to go back to being a detective only. He takes a break for the night and runs into a feisty redhead who sets off an interest that he has never felt before. When that redhead seems to have caught the attention of a serial arsonist, he will do anything to protect her even as she fights his protectiveness at every step of the way.

Autumn and Keith are both strong, independent characters who have to learn to trust that what they have found with each other is special before an arsonist destroys their future in flames.

Once again Ms. Barker’s writing pulls me into a story and makes me believe. She breathes life into her characters and expertly twines suspense throughout the romance. I especially love her characters because they are middle age and have either been burned by love before or are career oriented and never bothered with a long-term relationship. I enjoy reading about characters with worries about folds or wrinkles from age when they enter into a new sexual relationship occasionally instead of 20 somethings with perfect everything. She makes her characters very sexual. They are older and know what they want in bed and out and it is HOT!

I highly recommend this book!

Book Description:

True passion can’t be bottled.

A stolen formula. A seductive suspect. A dangerous romance.

…has been stolen.

Raquel is the owner of the small town boutique store Perfume Girl, a quaint location offering bottled scents from around the globe, including her own personal formulas. Creating perfume has been a passion since she was a little girl, but her latest work, a scent years in the making, is her masterpiece. The one that will make her mark on the industry and save her life in the process.

But now it’s gone. Stolen right from her shop. All would be lost if Raquel didn’t feel she knew who was behind the theft. Devastated to her core, she decides to do something about it.

Astor Beauregard is the sexy, enigmatic owner of House of Beauregard, the renowned cologne empire based in the notorious city of South Beach, Miami.

It’s on the famous, sun-soaked, salsa-fueled streets of South Beach that USA Today Bestselling Author Vanessa Fewings releases PERFUME GIRL, a heart-racing romance novel that will have readers feeling the heat like never before.

In this new STAND-ALONE novel, a fiery romance is ignited, one that will burn its way to a stunning revelation.

My Book Review:

RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars

PERFUME GIRL by Vanessa Fewing is a romantic suspense that you will not be able to put down! With an intricate suspense plot that centers around the high stakes world of designer perfumes and a hero that is rich, secretive, domineering and ultra-sexy, you will need to have a fan handy for this one.

Raquel Wren thought she had it all until she came home from her perfume shop early to find her husband in bed with someone else. Now with the divorce, she is about to lose her perfume shop, too unless she can sell her newest creation. Before she has the chance, it is stolen from her shop. What the thief does not realize is that it is not finished. The scent is missing the final ingredient to make it spectacular.

Astor Beauregard is the sexy, exotic head of The House of Beauregard, one of the premier, multi-million dollar perfume houses. Not only is he the owner with his sister, but he is an exceptionally talented perfume chemist. He loves his company, takes care of his family and lives his life in the fast-lane, guarding his heart and his mysterious past. When his sister presents him with a new perfume, he is intrigued and excited.

Raquel believes her formula was stolen by the House of Beauregard. She gets hired by Astor to work on a new scent for men. Raquel is out to find proof of the theft of her perfume and save Perfume Girl. Astor believes Raquel is a corporate thief, but he cannot stay away from her. Neither can completely trust the other, but they have an explosive passion between them that neither can control.

There is absolutely nothing NOT to love about this book. Raquel and Astor are interesting and intriguing from the moment they appear on the page. Both have overcome traumas throughout their lives and when they come together, WOW! Ms. Fewings writes sex scenes that are explicitly hot and sensual without any kink or BDSM. The suspense plot is intricately intertwined throughout the story in perfect balance to the romance with a twist that surprised me at the end.

This is a standalone romantic suspense that I highly recommend!

***

My Book Review:

RATING: 5 out of 5 Stars

LuLLaY: Portland ME, a Christmas Novella (Portland ME #4.5) by Freya Barker is a contemporary holiday romance novella and is the PERFECT heartwarming, sexy and HEA holiday read for the season. Even though this is part of the Portland ME series, it can easily be read as a standalone.

Matteo “Matt” Savela is a bartender at the Skipper, who has watched all his friends find their perfect matches, but he does not feel it is in the cards for him. Matt is on his way home to pick up his sister. Driving across country during December can lead to unexpected snow storms and chance meetings.

Montana “Tana” Memphis Romer is driving across country with her three year old toddler, Flynn. She decided to drive across country rather than fly because Flynn has an ear infection. Tana wants to get home for Christmas and help her parents with some major decisions about their family bakery.

Tana and Flynn keep crossing paths with “Man” (Flynn’s name for Matt) along the way. When a snow storm hits, they all end up sharing a hotel suite until it blows over. Matt loves all kids and he and Flynn bond quickly. Tana is not so sure, but with all the kind things he does for them and the way he takes care of them she begins to care for Matt as much as her daughter.

With all the chance meetings and the same destinations, can fate be putting these two together for more?

Matt is the hero that every single mom would want to meet. Tana is an independent business woman and single mother. Flynn is too adorable and I could not get enough of her. These three come together, even with all the many real life problems to be solved before their HEA. The relationship comes together quickly, but it never feels forced. The sex scenes are yummy. All of the secondary characters are three dimensional and believable.

I always love Freya Barker’s characters! I want to be friends with all of them and I am always happy with their HEAs. The stories could happen anywhere and I just fall into the first scene and never want to put it down until I am done. This is another great read from this author!

About Freya:

Freya Barker loves writing about ordinary people with extraordinary stories. 

Driven to make her books about ‘real’ people; with characters who are perhaps less than perfect, but just as deserving of romance, thrills and chills, and their own slice of happy.

A recipient of the RomCon “Reader’s Choice” Award for best first book, “Slim To None”, and Finalist for the Kindle Book Award with “From Dust”, Freya has not slowed down. 

She continues to add to her rapidly growing collection of published novels as she spins story after story with an endless supply of bruised and dented characters, vying for attention!
