Vacation!

I'm going on vacation with the DH.  Communication may be spotty I'll check in with what I'm reading and doing as I can. Until then be safe and Read-on.

MacRieve (Immortals After Dark #13) by Kresley Cole

You either love the IAD or you don’t.  I LOVE this series.  Nobody can take a dark and twisted hero and redeem him like Ms. Cole.  Uilleam (Will) MacRieve  is not quite as twisted as Lothair but he takes a close second.  Eternity is too long to suffer the way MacRieve has.  When he survives the torture at the hands of the Order that’s all he did.  He has nothing to live for not even revenge.   He has just about convinced himself to end it all when he finds Chloe, his mate.  But she is human or is she?  When Chloe transitions MacRieve  will have to face his past or lose his future.

Fans of IAD will love this latest installment.  Can’t wait to find out what happens to Will’s twin Munro.

Covering the Spread By Destiny Blaine

Blurb:

He’s playing for his brother’s debt

 Quarterback Lane Levermore is in a hell of a fix. He’s set to play in one of the most important games of his career, and his brother is in too deep with Vegas bookmakers, bookies who are looking at Lane for repayment.

She’s stumbled across questionable pre-game lines

 Feisty sports reporter Donna Belfour has her eye on Lane Levermore. Her instincts are razor sharp, and she knows there’s a world of heat gathering around her favorite quarterback. Determined to call Lane out on his unfavorable intentions, Donna digs up some scandalous information that could ruin careers.

 Winning the game will come at an extraordinary price

 After a frustrating first half, Lane acknowledges a serious problem with one sexy vixen. He hauls Donna off to a nearby vacant office and addresses a few of those more personal concerns. By the start of the third quarter, Lane’s luck has definitely changed. He is confident he will not only cover the game spread, but with any luck, he may just win his woman’s heart.

Review:

I can’t add anything; the blurb pretty much says it all.  This is a short sizzling hot erotic romance.  Grab a glass of something cold and enjoy. 

I'd like to thank the author for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Gamble in Gold: A Flirting to Win Novella by Natalie Anderson

Blurb:

Seven years have passed since shy Lexie Peterson had her heart trampled by her teenage crush. And Luke Marchetti walks into his flat to find Lexie in a negligee, all he can think of is having a little flirt and fling. But Lexie’s determination to keep him at a distance makes him realize she deserves more than he can offer. Is one kiss enough to entice the two to take a gamble on love?

My review:

I love a good second chance story and this quick, sexy-sweet story tells of the beginning of a wonderful chance at love.  This is a story about past hurts and misunderstandings getting in the way of a chance of a future.  I got a kick out of these characters and wouldn’t mind re-visiting them.

I'd like to thank the publisher for allowing me the chance to read and review.

Ride 'em, Konnichiwa Cowboy, Giddy up (Branded #1,2,3) by Tilly Greene

Ride 'em – Sunflower Forever Free ran from the commune where she was born and found her way to Rosa & Jose Martinez’s diner when she was around 15.  They took her in gave her a place to live, work and go to school.  It is now 10 years later and Sunflower is all grown up and knows what she wants.  With the help of Ted & Matt Wilson she goes to the local fetish club where she has until now found release but not love.  There she meets rehabilitated bad boy Courtland Dickerson.  The attraction is instant and scorching. Can the reformed bad boy give the good girl what she needs?

I liked Sunny from the start.  It took me a bit to warm up to Court.  But when they finally get together break out the fans and cold drinks.

Konnichiwa Cowboy - Konnichiwa Cowboy is basically a prequel to Giddy up.  It is a short, smoking hot tale of forbidden love.  Matt Wilson has the hots for Sakura Nakamura but she is the daughter of the man he needs to do business with in Japan.  Sakura lusts after the hot cowboy and finds a way to make it happen. 

Break out the ice cubes this one is short but white hot.

Giddy up - Sakura Nakamura and her friend Molly have come to the Wilsons ranch to help set up the system that will allow them to sell their beef in Japan.  Sakura also wants a repeat of what happened in Japan (in Konnichiwa Cowboy) and if Ted joins in so much the better.  Can Sakura have her cowboys, kinky sex and love?

This may be the best in the series yet.  I look forward to Molly & Jon’s story but whoo doggies this story is jalapeño hot.

This is a Contemporary Western Erotic Romance + bondage, ménage a trois, toys and is Multicultural novella at 34,500 words.

Out of Control by Desiree Holt

Blurb:

Twenty five years ago Carrie Nolan was the only victim to survive the killing spree of a pedophile. Her life has been frozen in time, and not even a move to a distant city and a name change has healed the wounds that left her emotionally and sexually scarred. Determined finally to reclaim her life, Carrie returns to High Ridge as multi-published crime novelist, Dana Moretti, in hope of asking the questions that would lay her nightmares to rest.

Sheriff Cole Landry, came to High Ridge to escape the horrors of Iraq and Afghanistan, but soon after the sexy author arrives and starts poking her nose into matters best forgotten, his town once again becomes the hunting ground of a ruthless killer. She's sure it's the same man, and he's not all that convinced she's wrong. Keeping Dana safe means keeping her close--very close--under his protection, under him.

Between her sexual need for Cole and the danger lurking behind every stranger's face, her world is spinning out of control

My Review:

Desiree Holt is one of my go to authors for hot romance so when I read this wonderful mystery I was pleasantly surprised.  Yes there are a couple of hot scenes in this book but it really is all about the mystery and growing romance between Cole & Dana.  It just goes to prove that Ms. Holt can write just about anything and make you love it.

Personal Assets (Texas Nights #1) by Kelsey Browning

Warning! Don’t read this until you have time to read it all.  I stayed up late to finish this fun tale of love by “new to me” author Kelsey Browning.  Cameron Wright has come home to open his new business and settle down so when the town “Princess” and good girl wants to use his body for no strings sex he is a little conflicted.  This is a well written witty tale about the nature of love and the modern woman. I am looking forward to Roxanne’s story but really can’t wait for Eden and Beck’s story (it’s always the quite ones).

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley.
