The Billionaire’s Intern – Intense And Passionate

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
July 5, 2015

Whatever books I’ve read of Maisey Yates, have been fun, lighthearted and warm. So “The Billionaire’s Intern” sure did catch me off guard and I like the dark side of Maisey Yates too.

TheBillionaire'sIntern-ForbiddenSeries1-MaiseyYates

Book one of “The Forbidden Series” is dark, intense and fiery in its narration. She brings back Logan Black literally from the dead and for Logan; the world is for his taking. Shipwrecked and surviving on an island for four years before he made it to the mainland, leaves Logan with enough nightmares. Keeping himself locked in his ivory tower he can neither escape the guilt nor the blood that is on his hands. And Addison may very well be his only salvation.

Witness to her corrupt father’s assassination leaves Addison Treffen in a cloak of scandal that alienates her from finishing college, friends and her life. Knowing her father was responsible for heinous crimes and flesh trade drowns Addison into sadness of a man who was a monster, yet a father to her. Wanting to escape the ghosts of her past brings her to Logan Black as his assistant.

Sparks fly, empathy surfaces and love blossoms, yet Logan and Addison have a lot of pain, fear and insecurities to face before they can make a future. Maisey Yates does a good penmanship of Addison and Logan as two individuals trying to swim against the depth of emotions and find a shallow landing to give their love a chance to survive.

Untamed – Surprise Package

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
June 30, 2015

It’s been a very long time since I’ve read Diana Palmer. I remember enjoying her older books so much and her new book “Untamed” caught me off guard. Not that it doesn’t keep you reading, it just was so different from what I remember about her writing.

Untamed-DianaPalmer-Jun2015

Steely mercenary and dangerous Stanton Rourke lives on the edge of danger and away from his childhood friend Clarisse Carrington, with a misunderstanding that they are related. Yet he never misses a beat to save his love or face death to keep her protected. But once the truth comes out that they are not related, Stanton woos his Tat to the end of the world and are ready to get married.

Clarisse has been a through a lot and survived repeated death and is all ready to make a future with Stanton. Unfortunate circumstances tear them apart, leaving Clarisse pregnant and Stanton facing amnesia. As death shadows Clarisse, Stanton unwittingly ends up being her savior, yet with no memory of their relationship.

“Untamed” is definitely an interesting read. It reminded me of a Bollywood movie in certain places, yet it keeps you captivated to the end. Diana Palmer’s magic is just as enchanting as I remember. I’ve always liked her in depth characterization and the intensity of her love stories.

A good and hot summer read!

Minutes To Kill – Scarlet Falls Second

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
June 28, 2015

All it takes is “Minutes To Kill”, minutes for a situation to become deadly, minutes to become a witness from an innocent bystander and just minutes to become a target to be killed.

The second book in the Scarlet Falls Series by Melinda Leigh brings corporate attorney Hannah Barrett back home to Scarlet Falls with a killer right behind her heels. What was supposed to be a few days of vacation for Hannah turn into a nightmare with two killer brothers hell bent on seeing her dead for trying to help a teenager from being forced into sex trade.

MinutesToKill-ScarletFalls2

A cry for help from the very same girl she wasn’t able to help, brings her face to face with Detective Brody McNamara, her attraction, her apprehension and her lust. Having helped her family when her brother and sister-in-law were murdered, Brody has become a trusted member of the Barrett family. And seeing Hannah only brings out the spark, the respect and love he has for her and with killers on the spree in Scarlet Falls, he would do anything to keep Hannah and her family safe and protected.

I love the simplicity of the story, as a small incident becomes a threat to an innocent civilian. It could happen to anyone, and the repercussions of the incident bring out the strong dimensions of family support. It becomes a foundation to face some insecurity, overcome a few fears, and in the process become a stronger individual.

Melinda Leigh continues the saga of the Barrett Family in Scarlet Falls, as they try to come back as one unit to deal with the aftermath of the murder of their sibling and an ailing father with dementia. She does a brilliant job of giving the story the co-existence of danger and presence of family bond. The romance between Brody and Hannah is sublime and is a perfect pen as is the characterization of Brody and Hannah. Two strong individuals, independent yet dependent on each other, with strong belief of justice and family, Brody and Hannah will win the hearts of the readers.

“Minutes To Kill” can be read as a stand-alone, but I would highly recommend readers to start with “Hour Of Need” (where it all started), to enjoy the following books to the fullest
