The charming series of Fool’s Gold is still as charming, sweet and romantic as Susan Mallery gets ready to release Book 16, “Hold Me”. I don’t think I can ever get tired of reading this series, no matter how many get published. Mallery always manages to keep her readers dazzled with her romances.

HoldMe-FoolsGold-apr2015

Destiny Mills comes to Fool’s Gold, leaving behind a legacy of music and choosing a profession to help with streamlining search and rescue operations. Passion, love and trust sounds great only in the lyrics of a song, and she has seen it been destroyed. Although working closely with the world-class skier sure puts a dent in her heart and makes her question her feelings to love and trust.

An accident and an end to his career doesn’t deter Kipling from seeking thrills as he runs the Fool’s Gold S&R, and having Destiny on his team only wants him to take more chances and this time in the game of love. And all he wants to do is hold Destiny in his arms of love and trust, and never let her go.

Then again the path of love is never easy, and convincing Destiny to open her heart is a challenge that Kip wants to win…forever. Another nice and enticing love story weaved by Susan Mallery, in the dazzling town of Fool’s Gold.

Lindsay McKenna is an ace writer of military love stories with romance and a favorite of mine. Her attention to detail holds your interest, the thrill of danger takes you to the edge and the romance and subtle attention she gives to the progress of a relationship wants you to read her books more and more and again and again.

“Running Fire” is book#8 of her Shadow Warriors Series is equally drenched with adrenaline and romance in equal doses as Chief Warrant Officer and pilot Leah MacKenzie and SEAL Kell Ballard try to escape the Taliban infused mountains of Afghanistan.

RunningFire-LindsayMcKenna-Apr2015

Badly injured when the Taliban brings down her helicopter, Leah is saved and nursed back to health by Kell. Ever the warrior and protector, close proximity with Leah opens feelings that Kell has subdued after an unsuccessful marriage. As they make their way one cave a time, keeping themselves one step ahead of danger, Kell and Leah succumb to the attraction that flares between them. With an abusive past and trauma dogging Leah, Kell vows to protect the love of his life forever, right next to him.

Another enthralling ride of danger and love, “Running Fire” keeps the readers glued to every page. With the chemistry between Kell and Leah stoking the pages, Leah gathers strength from Kell and his family to face her past and Kell fills Leah’s heart with love, warmth and the support of a wonderful family.

A definite re-visit with Kell and Leah for me!

Check out this emotional trailer of Jude and Lailah as they try to make a life Beyond These Walls.…….

Excerpt:

“You’d really forgo everything and marry me tomorrow?”

Rolling over, he pinned me beneath him, encapsulating me between his strong muscular arms. My fingers instinctively traveled up over the intricate black ink of his arm.

“In a heartbeat. But you’re right. Our mothers would kill us if we didn’t let them witness this day. So, we will be good, and I’ll give you the wedding you’ve always dreamed of. And then, my bride to be, you and I will spend the next three weeks in …. oh, right. I can’t tell you. It’s a surprise.”

I shook my head, letting out a puff of air in frustration. “Jerk.”

“Such language.” He laughed.

“Why does it have to be a surprise, Jude?” I whined, wrapping my arms around him.

“Ireland was enough of a surprise for an entire lifetime. You don’t have to keep trying to dazzle me,” I said.

His head lowered, and I felt the wisp of his lips touch my cheek.

“Actually I do,” he whispered. “Every day for the rest of our lives, I’m going to do just that. You deserve to be dazzled, Lailah.”

I like Alannah Lynne and so do her work and am loving her now! I’ve read one of her books in the Heat Wave Series (Saving Me) and have re-visited it a few times. She’s got good presence of writing and her narration is worth reading.

‘Matter Of Time’ (Book 5/Heat Wave Series) doesn’t disappoint at all. Lizbeth Sanders and Logan Steele had been together in college, but circumstances tear them apart and send them on a journey to opposite ends of a life.

MatterOfTime-AlannahLynne-Apr2015

But it’s only a “Matter Of Time” before Logan and Liz come together. Sixteen years is what it takes to bring them face-to-face. Sixteen years hasn’t even scratched the surface of the love they have for each other and sixteen years later brings them together with deeper love and intense passion for each other. A second chance at love and a second chance to make a future that was denied to them, Liz and Logan need to get to know each other all over again and make time for the lives they have created in the time apart.

‘Matter Of Time’ is an enigmatic story of reuniting with that first love and rekindling the passion and desire between two fabulous characters meant to be together. Alannah is very good with creating her characters with so much depth and individuality, and infusing emotions of pain, love and patience that tugs at our heartstrings is no simple matter. Lizbeth is just an amazingly courageous and lovable person and Logan will pull at your heartstrings as he struggles to balance a family and new life with Lixbeth.

With secondary characters making their presence felt and tempting to read their stories, Alannah keeps her readers interested and vested in Logan and Liz.

A definite winner for me and definitely in my list of repeat authors!!!

Meg Rosenthal: Matchmaker by day, realist by night, Meg is not about to get swept away by a charming, darkly handsome businessman in a designer suit. She’s come to a beautiful secluded resort to evaluate the private island’s potential for her agency, not to ogle its owner. But there’s something about the magnetic man that’s hard to resist, even for a woman who refuses to fall in love.

Valentino Masini: A successful and drop-dead sexy businessman, Valentino is used to having the finer things in life. Yet he’s never wanted someone the way he wants Meg, who’s stirring up a hurricane of trouble in his heart. But just as he decides to convince her to stay, someone else decides it might be time to get Meg off the island…permanently.         

And A Delicious Excerpt To Tantalize: 

Val brushed the side of her face with the back of his hand, moved closer.

Meg stopped playing, felt her pulse jump.

“Where’s Michael?” Val whispered.

“Michael?” The name didn’t register.

Val lifted his left eyebrow. “The man you’re here with.”

Right. “He’s a …” Damn, he smelled edible.

Val’s palm captured her neck and guided her to her feet. “He’s just a friend, isn’t he, Margaret?” 

The way Val’s lips moved drew her closer. The need to taste them, feel them on hers was impossible to walk away from. “If I told you we were more than friends…”

Val’s eyes traveled from her lips to her eyes. “Then I’d have to let you go.” He loosened his fingers on her neck, but instead of moving away, Meg leaned in.

“Sounds like you might regret that decision.” She laid a hand on his firm chest. The man wasn’t soft under his stuffy suits.

“I don’t pursue another man’s woman.”

He wasn’t moving away.

SeducedBySunday-CatherineBybee-Jan 2015

“Good to hear, Masini.” She lifted her lips close to his, felt his breath mix with hers. “I don’t belong to anyone.”

Val hesitated for a nanosecond, and then took her lips. His closed-mouth kiss started off soft, like a hesitant man worried about rushing. Yet when Val wrapped his free hand around her waist, and his body fit against hers, Meg opened for him, encouraged him to taste.

When he did she lost it. He tasted of bourbon and sex. God help her, she wanted to crawl into his kiss and explore it for hours. The man kissed like he was on a mission. And maybe he was. Who knew if Val Masini made it a weekly occurrence to kiss a new woman? Somehow, she didn’t think so. He was too reserved most of the time.

Not now … not with his tongue exploring her and his strong hands pressing the small of her back closer. Every hard ridge of the man met with every soft curve of hers.

The kiss went on until she found her chest tightening with a familiar warning. Sexual excitement had to be paced or she might find herself in a full-blow asthma attack. A frustrating fact of her life in the last few years. One that kept her single most of the time, her encounters lukewarm at best.

Val was threatening the air in her lungs with just a kiss.

A heated knock her on her ass kiss, but a kiss nonetheless.

She eased away and Val chased her lips.

She tried to slow her breathing, couldn’t catch a deep breath. “Wait,” she managed, pulling away.

“Too much, cara?”

You have no idea.
