The Billionaire Next Door – Charming Romance

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
November 5, 2016

I don’t get to read Jessica Lemmon quite as often, but when I do read one, it’s charming, it’s warm hearted and thoroughly enjoyable. Book two of her Billionaire Bad Boys, “The Billionaire Next Door”, brings billionaire Tag Crane steamrolling into Rachel Foster’s life.

Running the Crane Hotels and devising business plans for new locations gives Tag sleepless nights and he definitely doesn’t need a Great Dane adding to his woes. Never in her life did Rachel thought that she would leave her job and end up bartending and dog sitting. Nor did she ever dream of running into a playboy billionaire and have her heart stolen.

As they argue, talk, work together, date and heat up the sheets, Tag and Rachel sure give us a good romance and Jessica Lemmon pens a story of humor, fun and a couple who captivate our hearts.

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Book two of her BOSS INC Series; “Into The Whirlwind” brings Megan O’Brian back to Dirk Reynolds, for his help in getting back her kidnapped son. They had been together when Dirk was one of the bodyguards protecting the lingerie models, but circumstances forces Megan to separate herself from Dirk. And what a sweet and torturous reunion it is. So many unanswered questions, so many emotions and a past that bound them with passion and love.

As they try to get to the bottom of the kidnapping, Dirk and Megan rekindle their love that never died and reconcile their different backgrounds as they race against time to save her son. With Megan getting into the crossfire of some powerful mafia, keeping her safe is Dirk’s only mission.

Here is another whirlwind of a story, dangerous and deadly, passionate and heart warming, captivating and sensual. From “The Raines Of Wind Canyon” to “The Brodies” to “Boss Inc.”, Kat Martin has created amazing characters fighting for justice and protecting the loved ones in their lives. As each series progressed into the next one, I enjoyed every page of these brothers in arms to their extended cousins and friends.

Running Wild – A Wild Ride Of Danger And Passion

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
October 30, 2016

“What an odd feeling it was to want to slap a man and kiss him at the same time. Only Aidan Thorne had ever made her think that way….” That’s Aiden Thorne for you – one of the elite of the LCR Elite, handsome, sexy and a sinfully deadly operative, with a past that haunts him and places the people he loves in danger.

“Just because she looked like candy sprinkles on an ice cream sundae didn’t mean she was delicate…” the beautiful and resilient Anna Bradford has endured enough pain and torture to last her many lifetimes. Delicate flower she is not, but a child psychologist she definitely is, placing all her energy and passion in helping children and jumping into the frying pan to save the ones she cares with all her heart.

The disappearance of her colleague brings Anna to Aiden as Aiden is searching for a past that he needs to bury to move on with his future. And this little incident manifests into a dangerous ride of betrayal, death and the momentous truth of love that was meant to be.

“Running Wild” is another brilliant romantic suspense by Christy Reece in her LCR Elite Series and Aiden has held a super special place in the hearts of the readers and giving him his happily ever after is just icing on the cake. The incorporation of the sub plot is a great twist as is the reality behind Aiden’s past. And as the plot gets more evil and twisted, Christy never loses her grip of narration, nor does she lose sight of developing the relationship between Aiden and Anna.

And I have to reiterate the fact that a review definitely doesn’t do justice to her novels. Her books have to be read to endure the evil, live in the emotions, savor the passion and root for her flawed characters with her flawless writing!

Wind River Wrangler – Slow Start To A New Series

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
October 22, 2016

Lindsay McKenna is one of the best military romance writers that I’ve come across and some of her books are immensely memorable and have revisited numerous times. Along with badass soldiers, she also writes some great badass cowboy stories.

windriverwrangler-windrivervalley1-oct2016

Having said that, her new series Wind River Valley starts off really slow and remains slow. First in the series, “Wind River Wrangler” Roan Taggart meets city girl/romance writer Shiloh Gallagher as she comes to Wyoming to get away from a stalker and lay low until the danger passes.

With a past trauma that haunts her night day, Shiloh is not one to trust easy, yet she feels safe and protected as Roan guides her under the vast skies of Wyoming, helping and giving her confidence to rebuild her life.

It’s a nice plot and all, but there’s too much internal dialogue and I have to be honest I skimmed pages to get to the interesting part. The characters were not bad, although I really couldn’t get close to them or feel them in my heart. I guess Lindsay wanted to give more attention to romance versus action and danger, but the narration was slow. All in all its’ an okay read. And the cover is gorgeous!!!!

Finding Chris Evans-The Royal Edition

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
October 16, 2016

“Finding Chris Evans” is a series of short stories created by some amazing writers letting their imagination give us readers charming love stories as Ellie Mittelstadt searches for her right Christ Evans…. as each Chris Evans finds his own perfect partner in life.

findingchrisevans-royaledition4-jenniferchance-oct2016

“Finding Chris Evans: The Royal Edition”, written by Jennifer Chance is book 4 of the series as Elle continues the search for her Mr. Chris Evans, we meet the royal prince/bad boy/soccer pro Christopoulis Matretti laying low in the little town of Haralson, MN after the debacle of his last soccer game.

Having a rich foreign national staying at her inn gives LeeAnn Werth hope of keeping her inn above water. Sacrificing her dreams of flying away from her little hometown, LeeAnn works hard to keep her family legacy running, but her heart yearns for adventures beyond the town.

Romance and love was definitely not on either of their agendas, yet LeeAnn and Chris can’t fight the sparks that flare between them, and looks like Chris would take away LeeAnn on an adventure of a lifetime.

Certainly a first good read for me of Jennifer Chance, as she continues the story of “Finding Chris Evans”. Short, sweet and warm!

Here is the link to the prequel, where it all started….
