My Pick:

 

Covert Seduction

by Callie Croix Blog

Release Date: January 2013

Why:

I loved the cover for Let Me in by Callie Croix and loving Covert Seduction cover too. It is basic and hot. I love the black backgound with the hero grabbing hold of the heroine's hair...Screams Dominate. The hero's name is Reid...Yummy...sexy...strong name. I enjoy reading Callie Croix novels. Her heroes are sweet, dominate and loving. Look forward to reading Covert Seduction. I have read Deacon's Touch, Let Me In and have Dillon's Claim. I still have to get Touch Me and No Holds Barred.

Blurb
After her own engagement goes to hell, workaholic Jessica Talbot dreads her friend’s bachelorette party at a dude ranch in Nowheresville, Texas. But the outlook for the weekend brightens when Deacon Dumen picks her up at the airport. The sexy cowboy awakens every dormant sexual fantasy with nothing more than a friendly smile and a handshake.

Ex-Air Force Pararescueman Deke Dumen doesn’t know what to make of the sexy yet reserved brunette who breaks through the walls he built after an injury ended his career and a divorce soured him on relationships. As a guest at his family's ranch Jessie is off limits, but the Dom in him rebels at the restriction, even as he realizes his penchant for control in the bedroom would likely scare the holy hell out of her. When Jessie shocks Deke by asking for exactly what he's been craving, he's ready to break the rules and introduce her to his own brand of dominance. Her willing surrender rocks them both to the core. But once the weekend's over, they must decide if it was just a wild fling or the start of something more.

Review:

Perfect ~ Keeper

Callie Croix has a gift for writing short novels. Not many authors can do this. There is always something missing or it needs to be longer. Not in Deacon’s Touch, it is perfect and a keeper for me.

Deacon (AKA as Deke) is a sexy hero you want to bring home to meet the parents. He is a gentleman and sweet. He thinks of himself as a Dom and even though he likes to have control in the bedroom, it is light and not kinky. He does know how to talk dirty, but he also knows how to treat a woman in and out of the bedroom. Oh My Goodness that man knows how to kiss. The first kissing scene in the truck had me hot and bothered, I could not wait to see how he was in the bedroom. Let me tell you he did not disappoint me there.

Jessica is a control freak and work alcoholic I love how Deke was the one to help her relax and let loose.

　

Deke and Jessica are one of my favorite couples. Their chemistry is steamy and Callie Croix did a amazing job at a perfect length getting them together. She was even able to throw in secondary characters that did not take away from Deke and Jessica. The secondary characters are part of the plot. Love those Sexy Dumen Brothers.

This is Callie Croix first read for me and will not be the last. She has a beautiful writing voice that sucks you in and will be wanting more when the story ends.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why:

 Loved Jessica and Deacon (AKA Deke).  Their chemistry is hot and sweet. 

Deacon  is one sexy Cowboy that is Dominate in bed and a sweetheart outside of the bedroom.

"Why should I stay away  from you?"

In answer, he set down his beer and moved in close, caging her between him and the bar as he set his hands on either side of her. His gaze raked over her face, down to her cleavage exposed by her filmy blouse before coming back to her eyes and holding there. The naked lust raging in his eyes made her mouth go dry as he bent his head until his lips hovered inches from hers. "Because I like control."

He is a dirty talker.

His grip on her hair tightened, tugging her downward. "Suck me, sugar." His voice was a low rasp. "I want to see that pretty mouth wrapped around my cock."

Callie Croix is a author not to be missed. Deacon's Touch is a keeper and highly recommend it.

Blurb:

The Willow Creek Series, Book 1

On the run from her ex-lover, jilted by a no-show husband and now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back saloon, Abigail Thornton doesn’t think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man’s face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be.

Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail-dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton – all one hundred pounds of her thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face. Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit and when the last man falls he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite.

Throwing her into the town jail for the night would salve his wounded pride and then he will let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough?

UnRidden (Studs In Spurs #1)

by Cat Johnson Web  Blog

Goodreads

Blurb:

When country boys meet a city girl, everyone is in for a wild ride.
Slade Bower and Mustang Jackson are living the high life on the professional bull-riding circuit. The prize money is big, the bulls are rank, and the women are willing. But something is missing.

For Slade, waking up in a different city with a different woman each morning is holding less and less appeal. Even Mustang’s creative attempts to shake things up don’t help. Then along comes a big-city author who’s like nothing they’ve ever encountered. Something about her makes Slade sit up and take notice—and Mustang is always up for anything.

Romance writer Jenna Block has a problem: her agent thinks a cowboy book will jump start her career. A born New Yorker, Jenna doesn’t do cowboys, not on paper, and definitely not in real life. Luckily for her there are two cowboys ready, willing and able to take her out of her comfort zone in every way that counts…and some ways she hadn’t counted on.

Goodreads

Blurb:

This book has been previously published and has been revised and expanded from its original release.

He’s the one who taught her to ride. Now all he wants is to ride her.

Six Pack Ranch, Book 1

Blake Coleman is old enough to know that acting on impulse causes nothing but a heap of trouble. But when trouble’s a western-hat-wearing blonde with slim legs that go on forever, what’s a man to do? Wanting the sweet girl next door is just wrong. The responsible thing to do is keep his hands off.

Jaxi has other plans for Blake’s hands, and his heart. She may have once considered him a big brother, but that was a long time ago. She’s all grown up now and ready to convince him that she’s perfect for him. Except he can’t seem to see past the big “don’t touch” sign that’s apparently still hanging around her neck.

When JaxiColemans have decided Jaxi’s brand of trouble is worth risking a few busted bones.

That is, if Blake’s finally ready to let go the reins and fight for what he wants…

Warning: Sexy cowboys seducing and being seduced in trucks, pool halls and barns. Droolworthy country charm, a little double-teaming, a few secrets and a whole lot of brothers to look forward to. Anyone wanna go for a ride?

Let Me In

by Callie Croix

Purchase Link: Amazon

Goodreads

Blurb:

On leave for Thanksgiving, the last thing marine lieutenant Talia Barnett expects to find is Liam Brodie waiting for her at the airport. He's had a starring role in her fantasies for the past two years, and although she'd love to make them a reality, she has a dark secret that prevents her from taking things further.

A former marine, Liam's specialty is planning tactical operations, and that's just what he plans to do to win Talia. The woman has kept him at arm's length for too long, and this time he's finally going to claim her—body and heart.

What begins as comfort quickly turns hot. When Liam shows Talia a hint of the dominant nature inside him, the submissive part of her flares to life. Though she desires him, she's going back on deployment and doesn't want to dump all her drama on him. Will he find a way to break through the protective walls around her heart and convince her they have a future that goes far beyond the bedroom?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why:

Callie Croix has a beautiful writing voice. Here books have emotion and depth.  Let me in is a beautiful book with a loving and caring couple. Let Me In is erotic but done tastefully and so more to the story then just good hot sex.  I loved this book and highly recommend it.

You know I could not resist putting a teaser...

His hands tipped her head back as he lowered his mouth to hers. She didn't protest. Couldn't. She wanted this. Needed this connection, to have his warmth chase away the cold and loneliness inside her.

The touch of his lips lit up every nerve ending in her body. She made a tiny sound of distress.

"Shhh, it's okay," he soothed, kissing the corner of her mouth.

She shook her head slightly, on fire but afraid of ruining everything.

He didn't let go. "I would never hurt you. Just let me..." He feathered his tongue across her lips, then pressed inside to caress her own when she opened for him. It was so damn good she couldn't stop. His mouth moved over hers in a slow, hypnotic motion, the erotic glide of his tongue making her quiver. The kiss wasn't tentative or soft. It was deep and possessive, a full-out sensual assault on her battered nervous system. He kissed her like he'd been dying to kiss her and couldn't hold back anymore.

Wow!! Are you feeling that sweet kiss? I know I am.

"Watch my hand, sweetheart. Watch me touch you."

Talia looked down at his hand, so dark against this paler part of her skin where the Afghan sun hadn't touched her. She trembled as he drew his fingers up and down the front lace panel, her breaths growing shallow. He could have stripped the thong off her, but it was so erotic like this, slowly unwrapping her like a present and leaving more secrets for later. Her teased her, gliding his fingers over her covered pussy until she shifted restlessly. He stopped, his hold tightened in silent warning and she stilled, a soft groan of frustration escaping from her lips. A flush of arousal burned bright in her cheeks, her eyes almost glazed with need when Liam finally slipped his fingers beneath the edge of the fabric and touched the hot, slick flesh beneath. He clenched his teeth at the feel of her, the evidence of her excitement.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am so excited I finally get to read Let Me In by Callie Croix.  I am reading it slow and enjoying every moment of Liam and Talia. Callie Croix writes real characters where you feel what they are feeling. Liam is dominate in bed, but he is a real sweetheart and protective of Talia.  Callie Croix is auto-buy for me now..
