“In The Fast Lane” by Audra North is fast paced with racy passion and heartwarming love. With racing in her blood and soul, Kerri Hart is racing against time to save her father’s legacy Hart Racing from folding. As the only female rookie driver on the circuit, sponsorships are laced with sexism and her only savior is Ranger Colt.

Considered as a ruthless business man, Ranger Colt is on a mission to prove himself to get the coveted position in his company and as a part of the deal Colt Hardware buys into a major chunk of Hart Racing, setting Kerri’s blood racing and heart pumping with anger, passion and lust.

To salvage Kerri’s reputation in the kingdom of males, Kerri decides to team with Ranger as his fiancé. But fake relation turns into attraction leading to love. But with misunderstandings and insecurities making their way into this relationship, Ranger has to decide what’s more important in his life and Kerri has a race of a romance to win at any cost.

This is one of the most fabulous books I’ve read in the very recent times. It’s absolutely captivating, brilliantly entertaining and passionately thrilling and Scarlett Cole as a debut author definitely has become a member of my elite author list.

“The Strongest Steel” is strong in its story, tight with emotions and Harper Connelly and Trent Andrews are one of the most beautiful fictional couples I’ve read and have charmed me with their empathy, courage and love.

TheStrongestSteel-SecondCircleTattoos1-ScarlettCole-Jul2015

Harper Connelly is tattooing her life of scars with the brilliant colors of ink, braving the nightmares and the pain of reliving her traumatic past with the vibrant colors of life. Trent Andrews is a mini celebrity tattoo artist drawn to Harper, her fear, her innocence and her strength to overcome her past. As Trent colors her fear, Harper blossoms into the woman she was once, witty, charming and strong. As Trent falls in love with her, she loses the fear of touch and proximity with strangers.

As Harper and Trent strengthen their relationship, Harper’s past comes pinging and death seems just a message away. But with Trent on her side and friends in strong support, Harper is tired of running and wants to fight for a future that she deserves with Trent.

Scarlett Cole did a brilliant job with her debut novel weaving an incredible story around Harper and Trent. With emotions running deep and love playing its trump card, “The Strongest Steel” is a heartwarming story that showcases Harper’s mettle and Scarlett Cole debuts as strong as steel!

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.

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!

It looks like my first read of Michele Dunaway is a runaway hit in my opinion. Reading a book just for the pleasure of it with no expectations sure brought me immense satisfaction and looks like Michele Dunaway will be on my to-continue-to-read list.

Mr. September aka Joe Marino sure knows how to seduce a woman with his infamous Marino charm and pure dedication to his job as a firefighter. Being photographed for the Sexy Public Servants Charity Calendar may not be his forte, but it brings him in contact with Taylor Krebs, the photographer.

Taylor is trying to make a life of her own as she completes her photography project and sustain her photography business. Putting behind her the crazy past she had with her possessive ex-boyfriend, she definitely is not looking to hook up with the gorgeous firefighter that everyone seems to love and respect.

Yet sparks fly between Joe and Taylor. Love doesn’t send an invitation seeking permission, and working closely together to spearhead Joe’s pet project for the Burns Recovery Support Group only makes it harder for them to ignore their feelings. Passion ignites stoking their desire and the entire Marino family supports the relationship with warmth and gusto. But Joe and Taylor have a few hang-ups and insecurities to work out, before they can hope for a future.

“Burning For You” is one of most sweetest and enchanting books I’ve read. Taylor with her will power to be independent, her big heart as she helps families deal with the death of loved ones through her camera, is a strong and tenacious lady looking for love and stability and you can’t help but like her. Joe as the savior, loving son and protective brother is just perfect as guilt and physical shortcomings just make him even more endearing.

Michele Dunaway does a super nice job of developing this enchanting love story with Joe and Taylor. There is so much warmth, love, friendship and support in this book, it flows in the pages and stays with us for a long time.

It takes a lot of creativity to write a series, yet make each book a stand-alone. It takes a lot of writing skills to keep the premise of the story in sight and weave individual stories around various central characters and that is no mean feat.

Donna Grant continues the saga of the Dark Kings in “Night’s Blaze” as she takes the fight to Rhys, the Dragon King stripped off his powers. Unable to shift and help his brothers in battle, Rhys steps away from Dreagan and hiding from the world. Convinced and brought back to his brothers by Rhi, his mission is to destroy the rogue Dragon flying among them and keep Lily safe from any danger.

NightsBlaze-DarkKings5-Mar2015

Lily Ross has left behind a torturous past that left scars physical as well as emotional. But with the love and support in Dreagan land, she keeps a job that gives her a reason to hope for a new lease of life. And a certain Dragon King is sure stoking the fires of passion and love. But the betrayal that had left too many scars on her body and soul rears its ugly head to becoming a stumbling block in their relationship.

And fate sure wants Lily and Rhys to build on that attraction, as they are destined to be mates. As they confess their feelings for each other and let the passion consume them in its fine glory, the evil circling Lily and Dreagan is getting its pawns ready to strike. And in this game of good and evil, will Lily survive the betrayal to make a future with her Dragon King? That is yet to be seen.

Donna Grant brings a closure to this relationship, but at same time she leaves the readers on the edge with so many possibilities and questions thirsting for answers, even as she continues to weave stories around the Dragon Kings and their mates. Rhys as the fallen dragon is a sheer delight to read in his fiery glory and Lily with her tenacity and courage, adds fire to the equation.

Can’t wait for the next Dragon King and his story, as more and more secrets see the light of the day in this war between the good and the evil.
