My review:
This is a super
fantastic box set for a great cause.
There are 16 stories in this set and I devoured them all. These are not short little 3 chapter stories
they are full tales with a beginning, middle and end.
A LITTLE
HARMLESS SEX by Melissa Schroeder – This is the first in the fabulous A Little
Harmless series and the tamest one of the bunch but still a fun read.
CHANGE THE GAME
by Lucy Monroe – This is a short fun romantic suspense from the wonderful Lucy
Monroe.
WILD RIDE
(Changing Gears, Book 1) by Nancy Warren – Nancy Warren is a new to me author
but not for long. I will be looking for
her work now. The characters in this one
will keep you smiling and there is a really good mystery too.
HEARTBREAK ON A
STICK by Sabrina York – I got a kick out of watching Gina grow and Mr. Fox is
sex on a stick.
MADRONA SUNSET
by Jami Davenport – Break out the tissues this one will tear you apart.
BRACE FOR IMPACT
by Allie K. Adams – Action adventure and some really scary moments.
HONORABLE
SACRIFICE by Destiny Blaine – This one reads like the start of a new series and
like any Destiny Blaine story this one is sizzling hot.
SHE'S WORTH IT
ALL by Cathryn Cade – This was a pleasant surprise. I’ve read the first three books in the Club 3
series and hadn’t expected any new additions.
I hope this story is the beginning of a new arc. Mase is a cop who goes to Club 3 (a fet club)
which allows him to indulge in a safe and legal environment. Natalie was screwed over by her ex but now he
is dead and she is trying to reclaim her life.
But trying to re-open her bar with the locals against her may need
police intervention. This is a sweet
sexy addition to an already terrific series.
DECEIVING DANTE
by Kate Davies – This is a fun one. This
cop is hot for teacher.
ROCK, RATTLE AND
ROLL by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott – What is more heroic than helping out a
loved one in the middle of a crisis?
This story takes place after Rocked (Lost in Oblivion #1) but does just
fine as a standalone.
GRAVE DANGER by Rachel
Grant – Great mystery with a bit of romance.
Although there were times I really wanted to Gibbs slap the hero Mark
Colby.
TURNING THIRTY-TWELVE by Sandy James – This was
one of my favorites as the hero (cop) and heroine (teacher) are both in their 40’s.
Proving that love is lovelier the second time around.
HIS ONLY DESIRE
by Adrianne Lee – Another great mystery with a hot cop and sexy smart Deputy
District Attorney.
EVEN HEROES CRY
by Hildie McQueen – A woman starting over after losing her husband to war and
her new neighbor who suffers from PTSD.
Maybe they can heal each other.
Warning keep the tissues handy.
THE VIXEN & THE VET by Katy Regnery – Another favorite in
this set and by a new to me author.
Veteran hero Asher Lee has been hiding out at home hiding the wounds he received
. Savannah his home licking her wounds
after losing her job on a NY newspaper. Maybe
they can help each other out and start anew.
TROUBLE WITH A COWBOY
by Sandy Sullivan – Sometimes being a hero is helping another out and allowing
them to be themselves.

Thank you so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think a hero could be anybody. If we all just did a kind action one person that day when they needed it the most. You saved them from something bad happening, you could be that person's hero. Mine is my mom. Incredible woman, all around supportive of me and my feelings and does her best to keep me happy over the phone since they live 5 hours away now! A wonderful woman and mother..... my hero!
Donna,
ReplyDeletethanks so much for sharing this box set with your followers! It's for a great cause.
Cathryn Cade
A hero is someone who selflessly aids another in time of need.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!
Such a wonderful cause i am looking forward to reading it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely review and intro--thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting question - What makes a hero? The interesting thing is, I don't think heroes are made, I think they just are. They are are special breed of person who thinks of others first - the fireman, the policeman, the soldier, the mother (or father) protecting her child, the neighborhood kid mowing the lawns of all the seniors. They don't do it because they want to be heroes or even expect to be. They do it because it is needed.
ReplyDeleteHeros come in all shapes and sizes. A hero is someone that is willing to put their own wants and needs behind the needs of the many.
ReplyDeleteThey donot do something because they have to, only because it is the right thing to do!
A hero is someone who is strong of heart and mind.
ReplyDeleteHONESTY
ReplyDeleteCOURAGE
KINDNESS
I think a hero is defined by their character strenghts and even more by their flaws and how they handle situations. Somebody's Here by Jamie O'Neal is an excellent song that I think fits this question.
ReplyDeleteSomeone who is always willing to help but doesn't seek fame for it.
ReplyDeleteBloggers who share are heroes to me. <3
ReplyDeleteCourage and humility
ReplyDeleteSomeone who fights tooth and nail for what they believe in
ReplyDeleteThanks for featuring the bundle! I'm thrilled you enjoyed Turning Thirty-Twelve!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Donna for loving this bundle and for this awesome giveaway. A hero to me is someone who stands up for those who can't stand up for themselves. Like my hero in HIS ONLY DESIRE.
ReplyDeleteAdrianne
Thank you so much for the Hometown Heroes. I can't wait to start reading it.
