UntilThereWasUs-MontgomeryBrothers#7-SamanthaChase-May2018

Physical therapist Alex Rebat has become a good friend to the Montgomery family when he helps Zane come out of the hole after his accident, and has been a regular visitor and family to the clan. He’s also got a taste of the Montgomery cousin Megan and he’s hooked for life.

As careful as she has always been, the magic of her cousin’s wedding throws Megan Montgomery into the arms of Alex and between the sheets. Relocating to help Zane with his business also brings her to the love of her life, with insecurities and fears.

Romantic meetings, friendly walks around town, passion between the sheets and secret dating becomes the norm of the day, as they reach the realization “Until There Was Us”.

Samantha Chase revives the memories of the charming  Montgomery clan, the ever ready matchmaking elders, the hustle and bustle of the growing family filled with laughter and fun, friendship and family dynamics and the unconditional love and support of family and friends.

Today is where their story begins…the rest is “Unwritten”.

That is the premise of Rachel Lacey’s latest in her new series, Rock Star Duet. A pop-start meets a Spanish professor, helping rescue her dogs, and the rest they say is history. The unsuspecting professor Josh Randall is thrown into the limelight as he realizes that his newfound friend is the infamous pop sensation Katherine Hayes. Despite their worlds being apart, friendship grows, sparks flare and passion ignites between the sheets.

“Unwritten” is a stunning love story of a celebrity, hungry for a normal life, battling the rumors and hounds of Hollywood and the entertainment industry, overcoming personal demons and standing strong in the midst of media frenzy, the good and the bad, she never in her dreams imagined Josh Randall becoming her sanity and support. Katherine Hayes as that persona is an outstanding character created by Rachel Lacey.

Living a normal and quite life, having suffered a personal loss and trying to move on yet not able to let his love free, Josh Randall is the epitome of a regular guy going about his job on the other end of the spectrum. A son, uncle and a friend, he never imagined his life being tied with Katherine Hayes, and for her to become a person of interest to his heart…. her dogs, her baggage and her nightmares.

I have followed Rachel Lacey since her very first foray into writing, read every book of hers, and I can say with certainty that with “Unwritten”, she had penned her best novel so far. Her development as a writer, her innate portrayal of Katherine Hayes and Josh Randall, her deep understanding of the dynamics of various relationships and her brilliant narration of the story with emotion, betrayal and love is a true mark of her penmanship and her creative best.

The cover of “Unwritten” is as stunning as the story itself!

“Irelyn”!

Grey. A lump clogged her throat, and her eyes blurred. He was alive. And from the sound of his voice, he was also royally pissed. 

“Yes?”

“You okay?”

“Yes. You?”

Instead of telling her he was okay, he shouted, “I have a question for you.”

“What’s that?”

“Marry me?”

Hidden in an alcove beside a bookshelf in the living room, Grey held his breath as he waited for the answer to the most important question he’d ever asked in his life. Proposing in the midst of a gun battle was not the most romantic way to go about such things, but for them, for who they were, this worked perfectly. ~~~~~

AMatterOfJustice-GrayJustice#4-ChristyReece

Grey Justice and Irelyn Raine, as untraditional as they are, these two have seen and worked a world that one cannot imagine even in their wildest dreams. A man fated to mete out justice to “Too Far Gone” humans who when not governed by law and justice, tend to become the monsters of all monsters. A woman fostered by a monster to become a human killing machine with “Nothing To Lose.” Two unconventional individuals destined to save each other, to protect their legacy and serve the innocent, “Whatever It Takes”.

The finale of the Grey Justice Series, “A Matter Of Justice” is a brilliant revelation of Grey and Irelyn. Two characters so complex and entwined, unraveling their lives is a plethora of darkness and fear, death and loss, hope and trust, family and dreams. The first chapter is a remarkable penmanship of secrets and intimacy, innuendos and suggestions, an array of ‘The What Ifs’, ‘The Why Not’s and ‘The Could Have Been’…

The highlight of their story is not about them burying the evil, but is about them baring their souls to each other. As much as it was an adrenaline thriller, their emotional ride of revelation, the trust they had in each other and the progression of their relationship was the pinnacle of the story. And the credit for creating these two illustrious characters goes to Christy Reece.

And evil should deserve credit. They say revenge is an act of passion, vengeance of justice. Injuries are revenged. Crimes are avenged. Without the likes of Sebastian Dark and their twisted minds, we wouldn’t know of the courage, perseverance and determination of justice!

“A Matter Of Justice” should be read to enjoy it’s every word, every nuance, every interaction, and every tiny gesture between Grey and Irelyn – the said and the unsaid, the seen and the unseen, the done and the undone…and the dynamics of the Justice Team as it had developed! This is by far Christy Reece’s best work and the anticipation of reading and be a part of Grey’s and Irelyn’s happily ever after, is pure orgasmic pleasure!!!

A truly fitting finale for the Justice Team and the Justice Series!

The final book in Lori Foster’s “Body Armor” series is definitely a “Fast Burn”. Bringing Sahara Silver and Brand Berry under one roof is sizzling chemistry and the fiery passion for each other burns the sheets.

FastBurn-BodyArmor#4-LoriFoster-Mar2018

Owner of the elite Body Armor serving sexy and badass MMA fighters as bodyguards, Sahara Silver is one damn savvy business -woman, sexy, intelligent and fearless! But Brand Berry brings out the fears and insecurities along with his special Brand of passion and protection for the woman he’s loved for a while.

Two amazing characters scorching the pages and with Lori Foster as the narrator, with enough suspense, drama and supporting characters, “Fast Burn” is a winner all the way!
