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.

Former Navy SEAL Brooks Miller is living the good life working as a mercenary. Employed by the highly sought-after Z Corps, a private, special-ops company, there are no shortage of contracts sending him around the world. He lives wild and free with nothing tying him down—just the way he likes it.

When the Gold Team’s latest mission takes them to Bahrain, Brooks thinks it will be a quick in and out. That’s until he walks into a shitstorm and comes face to face with the woman who’s about to turn his world upside down. There was something working behind her intelligent eyes, and it looked a lot like pain. Not the physical kind, the emotional aftermath of heartache. And when she tries to hide behind snark and sass he decides on the spot he wants to know more.

Tatiana doesn’t have time for games. She’s on the hunt for the man who left her life in ruins. Brooks has something else in mind, something more, something far more permanent than the no strings fun Tatiana is offering. He had her right where he wanted her until the hunters become the prey and their world explodes. It will take more than the Gold Team to bring down a Saudi Prince out for blood. Their only hope is the one and only, king of all things cyber, John “Tex” Keegan. Can Tex get search and rescue team to them in time, or will it be a recovery mission?

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.

Raquel Wren’s world has fallen apart. Her husband has divorced her. Close friends have abandoned her. The money has run out. The pieces of a once idyllic life have completely crumbled. And now, the only thing that can save Raquel from total ruin…

…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 within this luxurious kingdom that Raquel will delve to unravel the mystery of the crime, a path that will lead her directly to Astor, sparking an unforgettable passion while uncovering a shocking truth.

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!

Exposing a common thread, leading them from the past to the present, it’s through the innocent eyes of a toddler, they discover a future.

***

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!

Will he lose her before he ever gets a chance to make her his?

Book Reviews:

RATING: Overall –  5 out of 5 Stars

If you want to buy a collection of books in a box set, this is the one to get. This grouping of 8 full length stories will keep you turning the pages with hot alpha ex-military heroes, the women they fall for and the diverse suspense plots that brings them together. All of the stories have explicit sex scenes that are all well written and I felt they were never gratuitous. I now have so many more authors and series to add to my TBR!

Tuff Enough by Samantha A. Cole

Jason “Tuff” Tanner works for Blackhawk Security and Concetta “Chet” Suarez is an animal control officer. When Chet moves into the other half of Jason’s double, they know it would be stupid to get involved, but as the suspense ramps up, so does the sexual heat. Meat is Chet’s pitbull rescue and plays a part in the plot as well as having my pitbull loving heart from the moment he appears on the page. I loved this story and all of the characters and was very sorry when it ended. I will definitely be following up for more reads in this series.

Never Forget by Kalyn Cooper

This is the first book in the Never trilogy and I want the next book NOW! This book had me so emotionally invested in the H/h. Elizabeth Camp buries her second husband only to find out they meant to kill her. She and her two children are offered protection by Matthew St. Clare who is a Deputy Director in the CIA. This book has terrorists, moles in the CIA, and buried secrets from 10 years ago when Elizabeth lost her first husband on a mission in Syria. Or did she? This book is a page turner that twists your heart as much as it spikes your heart rate. Mature love and sexual intercourse is explicit and written beautifully. I am looking forward to this whole trilogy.

Ravished River by Lindsay Cross

Aaron Speirs is part of Task Force Scorpion. They were betrayed and ambushed by their CIA liaison in Afghanistan. Celine and Caroline were kidnapped. Since Aaron recommended Celine for the position she was in when kidnapped, he will do anything to get her back. The suspense is fast paced with a precision rescue. The romance grows as Aaron protects Celine and decides what is important to him. Celine was a strong and compassionate heroine who definitely deserved her HEA.

Lincoln by PJ Fiala

Lincoln Winter is one third of Big Three Bounty Hunters. He is drawn into a police and FBI investigation of  Limitless. Besides dealing in art and precious jewelry, they are gun running. Skye Sommers runs HR at Limitless and Lincoln does not realize the trouble he bring to her door as he investigates her involvement. Skye is such a strong character who is dealing with more than her fair share of problems and Lincoln comes in and is the support and protection she needs. The secondary characters, Skye’s parents and Abe, Lincoln’s military trained German shepard and his coworkers make this a true to life, heartfelt romance. Hot sex scenes included.

Mace by Maryann Jordan

Mason “Mace” Hanover owns Lighthouse Security Investigations and Sylvie Gardner is a working single mom of 8 year old David who are all brought together after Slyvie’s son witnesses a murder. This book keeps you turning the pages with murder, kidnapping, and a growing romance. Mace and Sylvie work as a unit to protect and care for David. This story focuses on the suspense plot with the H/h not needing internal angst to interfere with the romance. Mace and David are so wonderful together without detracting from Sylvie’s love as his mother. I also love the Lighthouse Security building which is so unique. This is a new-to-me author that has me hooked on her series.

Black Jack by MJ Nightingale

Dawn Sassacus is an accountant and the baby of her family who own the Mystic Nights Casino. When she subs as a dealer for a friend she is drawn to the new man at her table. Jackson “Jack” Black is a gambler on a mission. What Dawn does not know is it is an undercover mission. These two had instant chemistry even without full trust. The author brought it all together though in a believable way and the sex scenes are smoking hot. Even though this is the fourth book in the Mystic Nights Casino series it is easily read as a standalone.

Her Guarded Hero by Caitlyn O’Leary

Get the tissues ready for this one! Even though this is the fifth book in the Black Dawn series it is easily read as a standalone. Dalton Sullivan, if not on a mission, finds this time of year difficult and tries to find a place of peace. He is hiking around Lake Tahoe when he hears gun shots and a beautiful woman is thrown from her horse and lands at his feet. Aurora Chance is a horse whisperer to damaged horses on her grandfather’s ranch. Loving and caring, she may be the one to bring Dalton back from the dark if only he can save her from the threat to her life. Dalton’s teammates and Aurora’s extended family are all realistic and interesting secondary characters. Parts of this story will break your heart as much as it heals it in the end. Interesting suspense plot and lots of emotional angst make this a great romance read.

Not Quite Broken by Abbie Zanders

Brian McCain was a POW in Afghanistan for 3 years. He was rescued, but he is still coping with the guilt, pain and mental suffering. He believes he is permanently broken. He lives day to day, but does not let anyone in. Tori Donovan is a physical therapist who has lived through a life of abuse and now lives an isolated life as she tries to find a place to fit in. When the two meet they start as friends who understand each other, but when it becomes more, Brian backs off. Just as Brian realizes his mistake and changes his mind, Tori goes missing. With a serial killer in the area, Brian and his friends know they must find her and quickly. The romance in this book is slow to build and beautiful with only one limited sex scene. The suspense is fast paced and intense. The addition of Danny to the secondary characters was heartbreaking and well as heartwarming. Well deserved HEA.
