Beyond Limits – Terrorism ‘N Patriotism Collide!

January 28, 2015

I first read Laura Griffin through her Glass Sisters Series about a year ago, and since then have been religiously knocking out her books in the list. The Glass Sisters series was brilliant and I was so fascinated with her narration and writing, I’ve read, re-read and re-read that series countless time!!!

BeyondLimits-TracerSeries-LauraGriffin-Jan2015

Her Tracer Series is no exception to her writing prowess, and enjoyed every single book of it so far. And so it was wonderful to finally get to her latest book in the series, “Beyond Limits” where a Navy SEAL and an FBI agent together as they race against time to save the innocent from terrorists.

I think the first I’ve come across Elizabeth LeBlanc and Derek Vaughn was in “Scorched” (don’t quote me on this ;)), and I hoped that they would get a chance to get to know each other well. Derek comes into some Intel of a terrorist cell on US soil, and Elizabeth gets roped in by her special team, and inevitably they run into each other as they try to unravel the terrorist plot before thousands of innocent people die.

As danger dogs them at every turn, Derek and Elizabeth have some unfinished business with each other, a business that involves the sparks of love and hearts that refuse to listen to logic. As they thwart the terrorist plot with help from Delphi Center, Derek and Elizabeth need to make decision about a future that doesn’t look promising. Derek and Liz do absolute justice to their characters, with their subtle romance, loyalty and courage to their country beyond and above the call of duty or their hearts.

“Beyond Limits” is another breathtaking read of danger and suspense, love and passion, loyalty and trust with a nail biting finish.

Lethal Consequences – Fatal Love Story

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
January 15, 2015

The Aegis Series by Elisabeth Naughton just keeps getting bolder, deadlier and sizzling, lethal combinations to readers like me. The second book in the series “Lethal Consequences” is another adrenaline ride of danger, terror and a love that fights to the very end.

Three months after being rescued by Aegis and her sister, Olivia Wolfe can’t forget Landon Miller and his protective blanket that enveloped her. From being a reserved schoolteacher, she suddenly takes off to Barcelona on a whim to be with Landon. They have kept in touch the past three months, and she cannot get him out of her system and she does want to explore that relationship with him.LethalConsequences-Aegis2-ElisabethNaughton-Jan 2015

Landon Miller’s days as an Aegis operative are numbered, as he is headed back to DIA. The sudden appearance of Olivia at his hotel throws him for a loop. Unfortunately the circumstances lead to Olivia storming out, and from that moment on things go from bad to ugly in seconds. A past op catches up with Landon, and Olivia gets in the crosshairs of a deadly terrorist group trying to get information about bioweapons.

And the chase is on as Landon and Olivia beat odds to keep breathing as Aegis steps in to recover them. But the danger refuses to leave them, and in the midst of life threatening situation, the spark of love and lust ignites the passion into full-blown fireworks. As they race to find the antidote to the deadly bioweapon, Landon and Olivia need to believe in the power of love to save their present to make a future with each other.

Elisabeth Naughton is a fabulous writer of romantic suspense, and “Lethal Consequences” is just another testimony of her writing prowess. Landon and Olivia make daunting partners as they battle death and an endearing couple as they succumb to the love that they have been fighting.

Fast, gritty, heart pumping and definitely lethal!!

Ghostly Liaison – Encounters Of The Friendly Kind!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
January 13, 2015

New author and her new series! Stacy McKitrick and her Ghostly Encounters!!!! And what an entertaining start it is for her series with her first book “Ghostly Liaison”.

Charlie is dead and leaves her home to her brother Rob, except that Charlie suddenly realizes that she is stuck between the worlds of life and death and there’s absolutely no one to help her. Rob on the other hand is busy trying to keep his inherited construction business running and has no time to fix his sister’s house to be sold, and neither does he have time to pay attention to the weird happenings in that house, as recited by Charlie’s neighbor.

GhostlyLiaison-GhostlyEncounters1-StacyMcKitirck-Jan2015

Enters Bridget with a determination to make her life independent of her parents and a past that had left way too many scars to forget and move on. And as if the pain and trauma of her past is not enough, people, of the ghostly kind, now dog her. A chance encounter with Rob lands Bridget in Charlie’s house as the house sitter. And of course Charlie is just ecstatic that Bridget can see, talk and feel her and Bridget is her only hope to get to the bottom of her death.

As sad as it is that Charlie is dead, this is just such an entertaining story. Reminds me Casper, the warm and friendly ghost trying to do the right thing and make the best of the situation. As Bridget tries to help Charlie, Rob slowly starts falling in love with Bridget, and things sure take a deadly turn before they get better.

To be honest, I had no expectations of the book, but the story went beyond my expectations. It was one of the most engaging and delightful reads of a new author I’ve read in recent times. Charlie as the ghost was just sassy, hilarious and frustrating. Rob as the ever-protecting guy totally smitten by Bridget, and coming to terms with the death of his sister, was just a great lovable guy. And Bridget, with her dainty demeanor is one brave lady trying to help the ones only she can see, as well as tenacious to get to the bottom of the truth.

“Ghostly Liaison” is a surprise package of love and understanding, an engaging read of humor and wit, an emotional ride of pain and guilt, and an appealing journey of two people trying to find their way to each other with the blessings of the resident ghost.

December 10, 2014

Cynthia Eden is one of those writers churning intense, intoxicating, dark and soul consuming stories in her sleep!!!! She never ceases to amaze me with her fascinating paranormal or hot alpha males totally obsessive of their ladies, walking on the wild side.

Her new series “Dark Obsession” is a trilogy surrounding three bodyguards and their intense passion and consuming love for their mates. Guarding 24/7 and close proximity only deepens their desire.

WatchMe-CynthiaEden

“Watch Me” champions the trilogy, with Chance Valentine trying very, very hard to stay away from his obsession Gwen Hawthorne. Working for her Senator Father as security, brought him close to Gwen, and his consuming desire and professionalism takes him away from Gwen before he loses himself in her.

But fate is not done taking a chance with Chance, and when Gwen’s life is in danger, he gets hired by the Senator to guard his daughter. A proximity that brings to fore all his love and passion for Gwen and a desire that refuses to bite the dust. As Chance and Gwen ignite their passion for each other and set fire to their love, a killer is lurking in the shadows, threatening Gwen and bringing a past to collide with the present.

It never ceases to amaze me no matter how short or long her stories are, she never compromises on the depth of the characters. Short or long her stories always leave me with an orgasmic satisfaction ;). Cynthia Eden skillfully takes her readers on a seductive and sensual ride into the dark obsession and leaves them panting for more!!!

Look out for “Want Me” in January 2015 and “Need Me” on February 2015
