Talk about addiction and that would be the The Dare Series by Carly Phillips!! The Dare siblings are as addictive as vintage wine, sinful as black forest cake and utterly scrumptious with their faults and all.

Chance Encounter Of Love And Evil

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
August 7, 2015

‘Chance Encounter’ can be deadly enough to break a soul. ‘Chance Encounter’ can be a balm in the night of deadly shadows and a ‘Chance Encounter’ can be the very epitome of love that endures to fight for their destiny.

The LCR Elite has a new member in the savvy and fallen quarterback Brennan Sinclair. With a past that refuses to fade and a guilt that seems to eat him from the inside, his first mission with the LCR Elite lands him under the roof of the beautiful and wholesome Kacie Dane.

Another fallen angel to the evil of the world, enduring the naked scars of pain, Kacie Dane always has a smile for the world. Embracing her profession as a model, pouring her inner pain into Kacie Dane Foundation, she channels her nightmares into strength and courage, giving back to the world in her very small means.

ChanceEncounter-LCRElite2-July2015

But when her torturous past threatens her life, Brennan steps in with his support and empathy, love and security, and the entire LCR family weaves a shield of protection. And that very shield stokes the embers of lust and passion, and the need for companionship brings Brennan and Kacie into the folds of love.

“Chance Encounter” gives us a chance to know two wonderful characters with so much strength and courage makes us tear for their pain and loss. Two good people, who got the wrong end of the deal, yet fate throws them into the hands of destiny, smile with each other and pass those very smiles around. Christy does a stupendous job of portraying their inner demons, feelings and thoughts, that you cannot but help laugh and cry along with them.

What I love about Christy Reece is her amazing creativity of characters, so broken yet redeemable. She can write adrenaline and heart racing romantic suspense and thrillers and on the other end of the spectrum is her sublime romance and immense depth of feelings. All her stories may not have to be bloody and pure evil to send the message across. Evil and love can romance at a sublime level in her stories and she does a brilliant job of narrating them.

This is one of her very best of best works that I will revisit several times and Kacie and Brennan will take a very close second to my favorites McKenna and Luke (Last Chance).

Pursued By The Rogue – Devilishly Roughish!!!!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
June 23, 2015

Who doesn’t love fairy tales? And when those fairy tales are made of devilishly handsome males and sinfully beautiful females, with so many hang-ups and insecurities, it only adds more charm and sizzle as readers relate to their fears in life.

PursuedByTheRogue-FairyTalesOfNY-KellyHunter-Jun2015

And the “Fairy Tales Of New York” are just that and some more. Co-written by four talented and lovable authors, the series is just pure magic and pixie dust as they take us on the journey of four friends through their life.

First in the series, “Pursued By The Rogue”, is just that. Supremely intelligent and hardworking Dawn Turner has made a name for herself in genetic testing and runs her own company. But all the fame and money doesn’t erase the fear of genetics running in her family nor do they help in fading the memories of the sinful Finbar Sullivan.

One night ten years ago changes all and ten years later, one glance changes her future. Fin is a world-class concert pianist and one glance from Dawn is all it takes to start where they left off.

I just loved, loved this story!!!!! It’s beautiful in its love, rich in its friendship and support, deep in emotions as Dawn struggles with the possibility of a genetic disease and Fin solidifies his stand right next to her, and powerful with its chemistry and strength of families.

And Kelly Hunter is dead on with her writing prowess!!

Spiraled – Twisted Mind Games

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
June 1, 2015

As a voracious reader, I thrive on simple, charming and mushy romances and I feed off of convoluted, crazy and evil mind gamed characters created by authors. Both require hard work, immense passion for their characters and getting into the minds of their characters to give them individuality and depth.

Spiralled-MasonAva3-June2015

Book 3 of the Callahan/McLane series, “Spiraled” literally takes the readers down a twisted path of a guy hell bent on creating havoc and targeting law personnel and on the other end of the spectrum, a mentally unstable sister makes Ava McLane wonder if she can ever be sane around her. And in all this mayhem, Detective Mason Callahan questions his stance beside Ava and is he prepared to put a ring on her finger?

As the OSO and FBI try to get to the bottom of mass shootings in public areas by young adults, Special FBI Agent Ava has her own demons to fight as her sister makes an appearance in her life. She questions her support for her sister, her love/hate relationship with her and the guilt she feels for dragging Mason into her spiraling life. And the question remains if Ava can survive the emotional upheaval of her sister, even as she struggles to keep death away from her.

“Spiraled” is just not about a demented guy wanting revenge; it is so much more about the progress of the relationship between Mason and Ava. They may face danger every day in their job, but their personal space is equally affected by their jobs. Kendra does an awesome job of showing the progress of their relationship from their first case to now. The trust and love, the companionship and support, the maturity and understanding of each other, is what makes them stand apart and be able to handle the fears and insecurities in their lives.

“Spiraled” is another of Kendra Elliot’s crowning glory, that keeps you guessing of the end game, and the narration of story and placement of situations is just apt and engrossing. And yes it can be read as a stand-alone, but you’ll be tempted to read how Ava and Mason met in the first place.
