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.

“Into The Fury” is the first book in the “BOSS INC” (Brodie Operations Security Services Inc.) series pitching Ethan Brodie against a stalker hell bent on creating havoc among the lingerie models touring cross-country. And one of the models happens to be Valentine Hart, best friend of Ethan’s sister-in-law then all bets are off. Now when extended family is concerned, the Brodie’s protectiveness comes out in spades.

Being a lingerie model is for Valentine Hart is just a means to a goal of becoming a veterinarian. Being stalked by a killer was never a part of her plan, and neither is falling for the hot and protective Ethan. I loved Valentine for her independence, endurance and just her nature to help others. She’s just perfect with her imperfections and a perfect partner for Brodie.

Another fast paced, thrilling ride from Kat Martin as she weaves pages of romance and danger. Incorporating and setting up the relationship between Megan O’Brien and Dirk Reynolds to take us into their story was brilliant and jelled well with this book.

A spin-off of her infamous Dark Protector Series, the “Realm Enforcers” are extension of a community with intent to serve and protect, paranormal and human. Book one of the series “Wicked Ride” kicks off the series with a resounding clash between the strong and stubborn cop, Alexandra Monzelle and the sinfully talented witch Kellach Dunne.

Her mission is to get to the bottom of a powerful and deathly drug Apollo making the rounds and killing the innocent.

And Rebecca Zanetti what she does best – write amazing and dazzling stories to bring pure reading pleasure to her readers!

I haven’t read Alexandra Ivy’s The Eternal Guardians Series, but am very familiar with her Sentinels Series and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed them. Having said that, it did take me more than normal time to get acclimated to the characters and “When Darkness Ends” turned out to be an enjoyable read.

WhenDarknessEnds-GuardiansOfEternity3-AlexandraIvy-May2015

Cyn as the head of the Vampire clan in Ireland goes head to head with the Chatri princess Fallon when they are recruited by the Oracle to help find the strange behavior of the members of the commission. Vampire clashes with a fairy princess, beauty and brains collide with power and arrogance, lust and passion turn their world upside down as they try to fight the scorching flames of love.

There is so much going on in the story and it keeps you entertained to the very end. Cyn and Fallon are perfect for each other, supporting each other and watch each other’s backs as the worlds goes to war around them.

Fun, entertaining, charming and loaded with an amazing array of paranormal, “When Darkness Ends” will keep you engaged until the last page.

The Brodies continue to heat up the cold Alaskan winters!

The third in the trilogy of “The Brodies of Alaska”, the oldest Brodie brother Rafe has his job and time cut out for him as he fights for his love and tries to survive the evil lurking in the Alaska wilderness.

AgainstTheTide-Brodies3-May2015

Olivia Chandler has left behind a life of death and has escaped to the wild Alaskan state by the sheer determination. Changing her identity and self, she immerses herself in running the “Pelican” and staying low. Keeping to herself and staying out of Rafe’s radar gets tossed out when one of the locals gets murdered and the fear of her dangerous past comes kicking to her present. Now she has to keep herself alive and try not to fall in love with Brodie to keep him safe.

Rafe Brodie runs a successful charter business and when his first mate ends up dead, he gets into the thick of things trying to find the murderer. Giving him company in this search is the beautiful and aloof Olivia Chandler. There’s intense attraction and undeniable chemistry that brings them together. But Liv’s secrets may keep Rafe away or their love for each other may give the courage and strength to face the danger together, as one unit.

There is no doubt that Kat Martin writes some of the most interesting and captivating romances with mystery and her characters are ultra protective, super savvy and always fighting for justice. I love Rafe and Liv the best of the trio so far. With her inner strength, courage and kindness, she is the perfect partner for Rafe, the ex-water search and rescue alpha, with a kind heart and a supportive friend and citizen.

Another fascinating story of suspense and romance, evil and death, love and forever, “Against The Tide” will keep the readers engaged and thrilled!

Mary Burton continues the saga of the Morgans Of Nashville with her second release in the series “Be Afraid”. There is no doubt the writing prowess of Mary Burton as she takes her readers on another journey into a town filled with secrets and murder.

BeAfraid-MaryBurton-Apr2015

She’s lost her childhood in this town and she’s lost her identity and family in this town. Yet circumstances bring her back to the very place that has been giving her nightmares and she can’t seem to escape the eyes that haunt her in her sketches.

Getting back to work after being injured in a bust, Detective Rick Morgan is drawn into a case when bones of a toddler are discovered and he ends up needing Jenna’s expertise to help him with the case. Jenna’s silence and professionalism makes Rick edgy and once her true identity is out in the open, he is surprised how they are connected in their pasts.

With many twists and turns, Mary Burton keeps the readers guessing until the very end. And even as Jenna and Rick are getting closer to the killer, the dots connecting some key characters takes us by surprise. Weaving romance around a mystery, Mary gives Rick and Jenna an amazing clock of strength, courage and tenacity to get to the bottom of the evil creating havoc and threatening Jenna.

Another interesting read, “Be Afraid” would keep you intrigued, interested and glued to the story until the very last page. And the little peak into her next book featuring Alex Morgan will keep you on the edge of your seats.
