Review: Something About You & A Lot Like Love by Julie James

There’s some­thing about Julie James…

Stay­ing overnight in a lux­ury hotel, Assis­tant U.S. Attor­ney Cameron Lynde over­hears a high-profile mur­der involv­ing a U.S. Sen­a­tor. Spe­cial Agent Jack Pal­las is assigned to the investigation-the same Jack Pal­las who still blames her for nearly ruin­ing his career three years ago.

Now the pair will have to put their rocky past behind them, focus on the case at hand-and smother the flame of their sizzling-hot sex­ual tension.

The FBI wants her cooporation.

As the daugh­ter of a bil­lion­aire and the owner of the city’s top wine store, Jor­dan Rhodes is invited to the most exclu­sive par­ties in Chicago. But there’s only one party the FBI wants to crash: the char­ity fund-raiser of a famous restau­ra­teur, who also hap­pens to laun­der money for the mob. In exchange for her brother’s release from prison, Jor­dan is going to be there – with a date sup­plied by the Bureau.

Agent McCall just wants her.

As the top under­cover agent in Chicago, Nick McCall has one rule: never get per­sonal. This “date” with Jor­dan Rhodes is merely an assign­ment – one they’re both deter­mined to pull off even if they can’t be together for five min­utes before the sar­casm and sparks begin to fly. But when Nick’s inves­ti­ga­tion is com­pro­mised, he and Jor­dan have no choice but to pre­tend they’re a cou­ple, and what starts out as a sim­ple assign­ment begins to feel a lot like some­thing more… Con­tinue read­ing →

Review: Immersed in Pleasure by Tiffany Reisz

Derek Prince doesn't believe they really exist, until he meets the stun­ningly sen­sual Xenia. She dri­ves him wild with desire, but giv­ing in to temp­ta­tion means los­ing her posi­tion at Fath­oms. Derek is incred­i­bly turned on by the thought of being Xenia's first...but will he be will­ing to wait for her? Con­tinue read­ing →

Review: Nightshade and Bloodlust by Michelle Rowen

Jil­lian Con­rad never believed in vampires-until she was unwill­ingly injected with a serum that was sup­posed to act as a deadly poi­son to them. Now, tor­mented half-vampire Declan Reese wants her blood to destroy the undead king­dom. Unfor­tu­nately, the serum has also made her blood irre­sistible to all vampires-including Declan, whose desire for Jil­lian is more than mere hunger.

Jil­lian Conrad's blood has killed the vam­pire king. Now an enemy to all vam­pires, she is tar­geted for elim­i­na­tion. So is the infant daugh­ter of the dead king. If Jil­lian doesn't stand in the way of her death, then every­one, liv­ing or dead, is in great peril. Con­tinue read­ing →

Review: Under A Vampire Moon by Lynsay Sands

Chris­t­ian Notte's story, the six­teenth book in the Arge­neau series is set on an island par­adise called St. Lucia.

After a bad rela­tion­ship and an even worse divorce, Car­olyn decides to go on a long over­due and much needed vaca­tion with the 'girls'. Only the rest of the vaca­tion­ers didn't get the memo. Around every cor­ner there seems to be another cou­ple cel­e­brat­ing their hon­ey­moon or anniver­sary and the few sin­gle men she does see are far too young to even con­sider, includ­ing an irre­sistibly attrac­tive rock vio­lin­ist she meets.

It's really too bad he's so young but in the end it doesn't mat­ter because accord­ing to his cousin, Giac­inta, women in gen­eral aren't Christian's type. But there's a catch, Chris­t­ian needs Carolyn's help. He needs her to be his beard (to play the part of his fake girl­friend) for the week to appease his 'machismo' fam­ily. Car­olyn just can't seem to say No and decides to help Gia's cousin. The only prob­lem is that being around Chris­t­ian and act­ing like they are a lov­ing cou­ple is wreak­ing havoc on her emo­tions. Carolyn's thoughts keep drift­ing back to places they shouldn't, like kiss­ing his full lips or feel­ing his broad shoul­ders under her fin­ger­tips... good lord, she's in trou­ble.

Review: Kiss of Pride by Sandra Hill

SOME MEN ARE TOO BAD TO BE TRUE...

Is he really a Viking with a vampire’s bit? An angel with the body of a thun­der god? A lone wolf with love on his mind? Alexan­dra Kelly, his prey, thinks Vikar Sig­urds­son is either flat-out crazy or he’s try­ing to maneu­ver her into his bed–which is hardly where a pro­fes­sional reporter should con­duct an inter­view, tempt­ing as that prospect might be.

SOME MEN ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE...

Until Vikar does some­thing a teensy bit unex­pected, and Alex begins to won­der whether her mys­tery man could really be every­thing he says he is: a Viking Vam­pire Angel on a thousand-year-long mis­sion with his pack of sin­ful brothers—and a man who’s finally found the woman of his dreams. By then, Vikar is already wrap­ping his chis­eled arms around Alex’s body...and sink­ing his wicked fangs right into her neck. If this is sin, why does it feel so good? Con­tinue read­ing →

Review: Summer Days by Susan Mallery

New York Times best­selling author Susan Mallery returns with a new Fool's Gold tril­ogy fea­tur­ing three rugged cow­boys who will find love in the unlike­li­est of places....
Locked in an unex­pected land dis­pute, Rafe Stryker is trapped in the one place he vowed never to return to-the Cas­tle Ranch in Fool's Gold, Cal­i­for­nia. He made mil­lions fac­ing ruth­less adver­saries in the board­room, but noth­ing could've pre­pared him to go head-to-head against stub­born, beau­ti­ful Heidi Simp­son. No one is more sur­prised than Rafe to dis­cover that he's find­ing Heidi-and life as a cowboy-much more com­pelling than he wants to admit. For Heidi, the Cas­tle Ranch is the home she's always wanted.

After a life on the road, the viva­cious blonde has finally put down roots. She won't give that up with­out a fight, not even for a man whose late-night kisses make her yearn to be a lit­tle less...wholesome. As the two turn from pas­sion­ate adver­saries to pas­sion­ate, period, they'll dis­cover that sum­mer love can last a life­time. Con­tinue read­ing →

Review: Little Red and the Wolf by Alison Paige

Maizie Hood strug­gles to keep her bak­ery turn­ing a profit, her land­lord from evict­ing her, and her dear Granny in a nurs­ing facil­ity. Wrestling with the deci­sion to sell Gran’s cot­tage is hard enough. The last thing she needs is her child­hood big-bad-wolf night­mares turn­ing into real-life adult fan­tasies. Sexy busi­ness­man Gray Lupo’s sud­den inter­est just makes mat­ters worse. Is he the answer to her prob­lems, or just a wolf in gentleman’s Armani?

Since his wife was killed twenty-one years ago, Gray’s life has been focused on two things: pro­tect­ing the pack and avoid­ing the grown daugh­ter of his wife’s killers. When it becomes clear he can’t do one with­out com­pro­mis­ing the other, Gray finds play­ing “big bad wolf” to Maizie Hood’s “Lit­tle Red” is a role he enjoys far more than he expected.

A real bad wolf’s attack on Maizie changes every­thing. Gray can’t deny the pull she has on his instincts—and his heart. Sud­denly he finds him­self tak­ing on a role he never thought he’d want, as her pro­tec­tor and mate. Until the truth about his con­nec­tion to her night­mar­ish past comes to light… Con­tinue read­ing →
