Lawless In Leather – Breaking Rules Of The Heart

April 29, 2015

Who can resist books titled ‘Devil In Denim’ or ‘Angel In Armani’ and for that matter ‘Lawless In Leather’!!!! Melanie Scott and her titles just conjure images of passion and danger, love and lust, sassy and kick-ass heroines and sexy and alpha heroes.

Book 3 in the New York Saint series throws the army veteran and bike rider Malachi Coulter into the path of Raina Easton, a burlesque club owner and now the dance choreographer of the Saints cheerleading team, Fallen Angels.

LawlessInLeather-MelanieScott

Running a security company and being the part owner of the New York Saints baseball team, Mal may have all the latest security gadgets to protect his business and team, but his heart never stood a chance when Raina comes into his life. She tests his control, simmers his lust, questions his protectiveness and in the process loses her heart.

And then danger turns paradise into a fighting zone as Raina and her angels fall prey to a crazy stalker. Raina is just adorable as the super sassy owner of a burlesque club and just perfect for the control freak Mal. Melanie Scott gives us some amazing and lovable supporting characters and it’s an absolute pleasure to re-visit Lucas and Sara, Maggie and Alex.

Another captivating and entreating love story, ‘Lawless In Leather’ leaves your heart with warmth, smiles galore and the pure pleasure of reading a wonderful story!

Naked Flame – Fiery And Dangerous

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Naked Cowboys and Desiree Holt continue to sizzle and burn the pages!!!

Burnt out Dallas PD cop Charity Vance leaves a commendable career behind and moves to Saddle Wells to give her life a makeover. Away from the crime and away from the threat of a hardcore drug lord, Saddle Wells gives her the haven to remain safe, re-connect with friends and breathing room to think of her future. And that future seems to circle back to the hot and brooding war veteran and bar owner Liam Douglas.

NakedFlame-NakedCowboys-DesireeHold-May2015

Fate drops Charity literally into his bar and working tables to help him out and Liam Douglas absolutely has no idea how to restrain his cardinal feelings towards Charity. As she continues to put Liam at ease, Liam slowly starts smiling more and spending more time with Charity. Brooding he maybe, but he sure knows how to make his way into Charity’s heart.

As the threat of the drug lord reaches Saddle Wells, Liam goes all into protective mode, forgetting that Charity is a cop. Passion sizzles, control snaps, and when death comes knocking on the door, Liam would stop at nothing to protect Charity.

Short, charming and intense, “Naked Flame” is enthralling and captivating. I like the way Desiree Holt creates her characters – they are just the right combination of sexy and independent. Revisiting supporting characters is always a pleasure and the camaraderie among the characters is always fun to read.

April 28, 2015

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

Taking leave from her job as a forensic artist, Jenna Thompson comes back to her hometown of Nashville to get some answers to questions that have been dogging her for twenty-five years. 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.

Hold Me – With Trust And Love

April 26, 2015

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.

Who I Am With You – A Stubborn Heroine And A Tenacious Hero!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Melody Anne writes some really, really sweet romances with sassy and stubborn heroines and heroes equally stubborn, yet tenacious and protective. Being in the company of your loved one sure brings out the real you, to overcome the insecurities and give your heart the trust and love that it deserves.

WhoIAmWith-MelodyAnn-Apr2015

Taylor Winchester may be an ass-kicking, motocross rider throwing herself into danger every time she gets on the bike, but she’s still a woman who wants to be loved and cherished for who she is. And that is exactly what Travis wants to do when they end up at a cabin together.

Recovering from a major accident, Taylor is impatient to get back on the bike, and Travis is hell-bent on changing her mind, with his love, trust and protectiveness…. subtle and patient as Taylor is a firecracker of being the independent woman, who wants to prove she can survive in a male dominated sport.

One cabin and one bedroom, two people with a history, fiery passion crackling between them and the possibility of lightening and thunderstorms, Melody Anne gives her readers a spunky, charming and a romantic read as Taylor and Travis wage a battle of wills. Loved Taylor for her stubborn and independent streak, yet when the time comes she’s smart enough to realize what’s important to her. Travis is manipulative and good with easing in options, never dominating or demanding yet giving space to Taylor to make her own decisions is lovable and the perfect gentleman.

“Who I Am With You” is another charming addition to Melody Anne’s legacy of romance and love stories.
