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!

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.

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.

Lindsay McKenna is an ace writer of military love stories with romance and a favorite of mine. Her attention to detail holds your interest, the thrill of danger takes you to the edge and the romance and subtle attention she gives to the progress of a relationship wants you to read her books more and more and again and again.

“Running Fire” is book#8 of her Shadow Warriors Series is equally drenched with adrenaline and romance in equal doses as Chief Warrant Officer and pilot Leah MacKenzie and SEAL Kell Ballard try to escape the Taliban infused mountains of Afghanistan.

RunningFire-LindsayMcKenna-Apr2015

Badly injured when the Taliban brings down her helicopter, Leah is saved and nursed back to health by Kell. Ever the warrior and protector, close proximity with Leah opens feelings that Kell has subdued after an unsuccessful marriage. As they make their way one cave a time, keeping themselves one step ahead of danger, Kell and Leah succumb to the attraction that flares between them. With an abusive past and trauma dogging Leah, Kell vows to protect the love of his life forever, right next to him.

Another enthralling ride of danger and love, “Running Fire” keeps the readers glued to every page. With the chemistry between Kell and Leah stoking the pages, Leah gathers strength from Kell and his family to face her past and Kell fills Leah’s heart with love, warmth and the support of a wonderful family.

A definite re-visit with Kell and Leah for me!
