Before the Scorpius Syndrome tore through North America and nearly wiped out the population, Vivienne Wellington was the FBI’s best profiler. The bacteria got her anyway. But she survived. She recovered. And when she woke up from a drug-nightmare of captivity, her skills as a hunter of men had gone from merely brilliant to full-on uncanny. Her mysterious rescuer wants her to put them to the test. But no matter how tempting he is, with his angel’s eyes and devil’s tongue, Vinnie knows she shouldn’t trust him.

If the FBI were still around they would rate Raze Shadow as one of the bad guys. His military training can’t wipe out his association with the Mercenaries, the most feared gang in a thousand miles. His loyalties are compromised. He won’t even tell Vinnie his real name. But there’s no FBI in the new America of fear and firepower, only instinct and risk. And the way his arms wrap around her tells its own story. Whatever else Raze is concealing, he can’t hide his desire . . .

Rating: 4 Stars - Loved It

 

Thoughts:  Shadow Falling was a great follow up to Mercury Striking book one. Once again Rebecca Zanetti gave me an alpha male hero to fall for. Anybody Raze cares for it is in his nature to protect them. He has his reasons for being in Vanguard the safe-haven where Jax from Mercury Striking is the leader. Jax still does not fully trust a lot of people and the one who he really is not trusting is Raze. Interesting moments with these two.

 

Vinnie I just adored her character. She was kind of quirky and had a tendency to speak what she was thinking without really wanting to. She really needed a place to feel wanted. Loved the friendship she had with Lynne. Their girl time was fun and never took away from the story. It showed that they are still human and trying to survive as best as they can.

 

Jax and Lynne from book one play a big part in Shadow Falling. Loved seeing how they are doing. He is a hard ass leader and is set in his ways. Love that she is there to help him feel for others emotions. While I was missing the close knit community before I started to feel that everyone is slowly becoming close. Loving the secondary characters more. Like Rebecca Zanetti style always part of the story and this time around were so much fun seeing them interacting. Not only does Rebecca Zanetti teases her readers with one possible couple but two. I have not read any of the synopsis for future books so I am really hoping a certain couple who the possible hero I have no clue if he is a bad or good guy get a story.

 

Few plots going on that help break up the book for me. Not only have the plot with Raze his secrecy and the follow to that but inside Vanguard drama dealing with the Priest.

With nothing but rumors to lead her, Lynne Harmony has trekked across a nightmare landscape to find one man—a mysterious, damaged legend who protects the weak and leads the strong. He’s more than muscle and firepower—and in post-plague L.A., he’s her only hope. As the one woman who could cure the disease, Lynne is the single most volatile—and vulnerable—creature in this new and ruthless world. But face to face with Jax Mercury…

Danger has never looked quite so delicious…

Rating: 4 Stars - Loved It

Thoughts: What a better way than to start a new genre with my favorite author. Mercury Striking was good for me as it is light in a Post-Apocalyptic world. Just enough gritty background setting here and there to really get the feel how life is after a disease has struck.

 

Jax has created a safe haven in L.A. He is a strong leader with no emotions and does not trust easy. Jax and Lynne have no strings attached sexual relationship. He needs it that way to keep a clear head to be in charge of everyone. When he is with her he feels human again not a killing machine in the world they live in now. Love that she is also on the same level has he is not getting emotional involved.

 

Rebecca Zanetti writes the best secondary characters. I did miss the close knit community she is known to write in her other novels. But I also understand that this group have not known each other long and have no past together.  They do all have their own personalities and voice. They have all got me curious.

Synopsis by Goodreads:

Janie Kayrs has known Zane almost her whole life. He was her friend in the dream world. She trusted him. But that was before he kidnapped her, spiriting her away to an isolated cabin to learn what her dreams never told her. Like how dangerous he looks. How he got on the wrong side of the negotiating table. And how much sexier he is in real life. . .

Zane is a battle-hardened warrior, used to command and solitude. But Janie has drawn him from the minute they met. His need for her could destroy everything he's worked for, but the risk is too sweet not to take it. They call her the Chosen One. But when it comes down to the questions of peace or war, life or death, safety or passion, it will be Janie who makes the choice. . .

Love is about to start conquering. . .

What I love most about Zane and Janie was his protectiveness and her feistiness. Left for some fun banter.

 

Oh, hell no. Zane grasped both her arms and set her behind him. Then he held up a finger to Talen Kayrs. "Give me a minute." Turning his back on one of the most dangerous vampires in history, he glared down at her. "Never, and I mean fucking never, get between me and somebody who wants to hit me. Got it?"

 

Blue flashed hard and pissed in her gorgeous eyes. "Right now I want to hit you."

Caleb Donovan was never meant to be a prophet. At heart he's a conqueror, his appetites far more carnal than spiritual. He's not inclined to repress his passions and surrender to fate. After all, that's what cost him Lily—three centuries ago. She married another, because it was ordained. Now that he's in the same benighted calling—and forced into proximity with her—all the old desires are roaring back to life. . .

After widowhood and centuries of celibacy, Lily is eager to explore the wild side of life, except now she's vulnerable to another forced relationship, with an enemy. But this time she's determined to choose her own path. And if hot, furious Caleb comes charging to the rescue, it might just change both their destinies. . .

Love is about to start conquering. . .

Loved Caleb and Lily together and thought they were a good match for eachother. Caleb is another yummy alpha male hero written well like all others in this series. I did swoon a bit over him as he was more  gentle than others in this series.

Review: Under The Covers by Rebecca Zanetti

Under the Covers (Maverick Montana #2)

by Rebecca Zanetti

 

Synopsis

A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

Opposites don’t attract. They ignite.

The small Montana town near the Kooskia reserve seemed like the perfect place for Juliet Montgomery to hide from her not-so-law-abiding family. But when her peace is shattered by a break-in and threatening phone calls, it’s clear someone back in New York knows where she is. It’s time to plan her getaway, and fast—but first, she needs to tie up a few loose ends. Namely, finding out exactly what the town’s sexy cowboy sheriff is hiding in his holster...

Sheriff Quinn Lodge has enough demons of his own to know when someone’s hiding something. Clearly, he needs to do a thorough investigation to uncover what’s beneath Juliet’s uptight, city-girl exterior—preferably one piece of clothing at a time. But when their chemistry goes from fizzy to full-on explosive, things start getting complicated. How can Juliet stay beneath the covers with Quinn, when doing so means blowing her cover?

A betrayal he couldn't forget . . .

For Nate Dean, love is a four-letter word. As part of a secret black-ops military unit, he and his brothers were genetically engineered by the government to be ruthless soldiers with an expiration date. They were loyal only to one another . . . until Nate laid eyes on the woman who stole his heart and blew his world apart. Now, years later, his family is still paying the price for his mistake. But as time runs out, there's only one person who can save his family: the very woman Nate swore he'd never trust again.

A love she couldn't deny . . .

The moment Audrey Madison spies Nate across a crowded ballroom, she can barely breathe. He's just as undeniably sexy as she remembers, yet there's an edge to him now that's as irresistible as it is dangerous. When he asks for her help, Audrey can't refuse. But she has secrets of her own-secrets that, if Nate ever discovers them, may cost them both their lives . . .

 

Thoughts:

You know I would be all over the new Sin Brothers Cover. All Covers are lust worthy but Rebecca just had to make Nate Cover shirtless sporting a sexy five o'clock shadow and only showing his bottom half of face. Even better he is perfect in size, not too big and not too small. Drool bucket and drool rag needed.

Reading Sweet Revenge now and so far the bar scene where Matt works while he is on a mission is my favorite. Laney owns the bar and is his boss. Love that she is a  jealous heroine and trying to make it seem  like she is not. Love their chemistry, the banter between them and he was able to shock her. Always a bonus having a dirty-talking hero.

“Stop smiling, stop flirting, and do your job.”

He lowered his face just enough to make her eyes widen. “You sound jealous.”

Ah. There was the fury. “I’m not you jackass. Keep the charm in your pants and stop flirting.”

Okay. He may have poured on the charm with the two women he needed to investigate, but he’d been trained in subtly and covert action. “Why are you suddenly interested in what’s in my pants?”

Laney’s gasp heated him in all sorts of places. “If I have to tell you again to knock it off, you’re fired.”

The little spitfire had better be careful who she threatened. “So you want me unavailable to those women?”

Satisfaction filled her pretty face. “Exactly.”

“Okay.” He grasped her hip and covered her mouth with his. The kiss was hard, quick, and enough of a taste to make him crave more. He lifted away to gauge the shock on her face. “There. Now they think I’m taken.”  

The air vibrated as her hand closed into a fist, and he shook his head. "You don't want to hit me." 

"Why not?" she ground out.  

For the first time, he let his mask slip so she could see the predator the government had created. "The second you make contact, I'll have you on that bar, held tight, my cock pressed between your legs, my lips on yours until you beg for more. Even fully clothed, I may make you come-and I won't care who's watching."

Jase Kayrs was the fun brother. The warm, charming, easy-going brother of the vampire leaders. Until he was taken and tortured by demons with their evil mind tricks for nearly five years. Upon his return, he’s dark, violent, and not the man they all thought they knew. Not the man he once was. He’s haunted that the only reason the demons would have let him live was to use him as a weapon against his family—but he can’t figure out when or how he’ll explode. Plus, once again the demons are after Jase with a vengeance…or rather, a female demon he rejected is out to destroy him.

Then the king asks Jase for a favor…a big one. To mate with one of their allies in order to save her. She’s everything that’s good and light in the world…while he’s at home with darkness. Yet he agrees…knowing mating may be the only chance to save them both.

 

 

Spoil Free review

 

Shadowed is an intense, edge of your seat read with action, revenge, romance and a few giggle moments. Rebecca Zanetti is a talented and brilliant writer that amazes me with each new installment of Dark Protector series. A brilliant writer to me is one that can have me biting-my-nails-edge-of-my-seat one moment then the next having me giggling.

 

I loved the direction Jace story was going. The layers through out are perfect. He is dark, violent, that his only mission in life is to get revenge at the demons who took him away and a ticking bomb just waiting to go off. Little by little he starts to come back to his old fun, charming, playful way. It is Brenna who is able to bring the light in his darkness out.

 

Brenna is a strong will character who knows how to handle Jace. I thought she was a perfect match for him. Their relationship starts off with both agreeing to mate. Both have their reasons to mate each other. The chemistry is hot with them and it helped that they both have already known each other and already had some kind of interest before. Loved that their is no intsa-love but a couple working at their relationship and falling in love. They are a hot-fan-yourself couple and the first time making love is beautiful as they both have not been with someone sexually in a  long time. Both really have to work on their relationship more so Jace than her. His revenge on the demons overpowers him and he at times will choose revenge over his mate. Jace is your typical Kayrs brother with an alpha male attitude. As their relationship grows he becomes possessive and over protective. This attitude does not go well with Brenna. She is use to fighting her own battles and she needs to be at the same level with him. Love the journey of their relationship wondering if he will ever see her as equal and if she will ever come first before his revenge.

 

As like all of  Dark Protector novels get insight on what is going on with the secondary characters. Love these parts. The best parts for me are Janie, Zane and Kalin. Zane fans are not going to want to miss Shadowed. 

 

In Shadowed readers get more of Garrett. Loved his scenes and have to wonder if there is something there with him and one of the wolf cheerleaders. I hope his book is next in Tamed (Dark Protectors #6.5) due out May 2014, as I think the name fits his character at the moment.

I am hooked on Dark Protectors series by Rebecca Zanetti. Jase story Shadowed #6 is another 5 star read in this series. Could not resist had to give 2 quote-tastic moments because not only I fall in love with the main hero/heroine I always get excited when the brothers are together.

 

Love it when the Kayrs brothers go all caveman on their mates.

Quote-Tastic #1

 

"What Now?" The second the words left her mouth, she knew they were a mistake.

 

"Now?" Jase lowered his face to within an inch of hers. "Now we discuss the fact that you disobeyed a direct order."

 

She opened her mouth to argue, and he held up a hand.

 

"No." He shook his head. "Don't tell me you're not a soldier. When it comes to battle, when it comes to safety, you'll obey every damn order I give. Do. You. Understand?"

 

Was he forgetting her gifts? She could make a bloomin' fire if she wanted to. Someday she'd be able to control it again. "No."

 

He stilled. The air vibrated around him, but he didn't move. Slowly, his eyes darkened to midnight. "What did you just say?"

 

A chill skittered down her spine. She swallowed. "I, ah, said no."

 

Just like that, she was over his shoulder again. "Damn it, Jase"

 

 

Quote-Tastic #2

 

Love the Kayrs brotherly love.

 

(Kane)..."Why don't we get rid of that trigger for good?

 

"Sounds Like a Plan." Jase took a deep breath. "I'm ready."

 

A knock echoed on the door, and Dage poked his head in. "How's it going?"

 

"Just started," Kane said.

 

Jase rubbed both hands down his face. "Any news from the prisoner we took from Seattle?"

 

"Not yet." Dage eyed Kane. "You going to hypnotize him and delete the trigger?"

 

"That's the plan," Kane said.

 

"See if you can make him be not such an ass." Dage shut the door.

 

Jase grimaced. "He's pissed."

His Secrets Can Destroy Her

From the moment Josie laid eyes on sexy, mysterious Shane Dean, she was in love. Their desire ignited a passionate affair, and within weeks, Shane had slipped a ring on her finger. It seemed her every fantasy was coming true . . . until her new husband disappeared without a trace. Now, two years and one broken heart later, Josie is shocked by the hospital calls: Shane has been found . . . at a crime scene with no memory of how he got there.

Her Love Can Save Him

Shane can't remember the blue-eyed angel at his bedside—or who he even is—but he knows something isn't right. His hearing is razor sharp, his physical strength incredible, and the urge to protect Josie overwhelming. For powerful enemies are hunting him, and Josie is the key to discovering why. As Shane struggles to unravel his past, dangerous new truths come to light. Can he protect the only woman he's ever loved? And can Josie trust a man she thought she knew—one who carries such a deadly secret?

 

 

 

 

Rebecca Zanetti has done it again with another hit novel. You know a author is going to make it big when they can write well written novels in different genres. Rebecca Zanetti wowed me with her Paranormal Romance, loved her Contemporary Romance and now she has wowed me with her Romantic Suspense.

 

The Prologue was a brilliant way to setting up Forgotten Sins. It gives you a little insight to Shane and his brothers Matt, Nathan and Jory’s life. It does not tell you exactly what is going on with them but you have an idea of what it possibly could be. Readers are in the dark as much as Shane is about remembering his past. The pacing of Shane remembering his past is well done.

 

Shane can not understand why he would leave his wife for two years. Not only does he want to find out about his past but he needs to know why he left her, because his mind might not remember her but his body sure does. For some reason the last two years he can not remember even when his memories are coming back about his past with his brothers and Josie. Loved Shane’s character with his Alpha male attitude. He has to protect who he loves and his family, it is in his nature. He does not threaten he acts when any harm is done with Josie.

 

Josie needs to know why he left her, where he has been the last two years. She needs answers not some overbearing protector. She needs to know who she married. Loved her feistiness and backbone and knows just what to say to get her way with Shane.

 

Shane is different now, he does not always have control around her and shows his feelings more. At times he still treats her like she is fragile and delicate like she is made out of glass. She wants him to see the real her, the woman who could be his match. He is more dominate in the bedroom that leaves to some hot fan-yourself-sex scenes.

 

The brotherly love is perfect. Matt and Nathan are a hoot. All brothers have their own personalities. They all play a big role in Forgotten Sins but never take away from Shane and Josie story. Please tell me Jory is still in the picture. I think there is more to Jory than what the brothers know. I still feel like the last two years with Shane was left a little open and hope in future novels it continues with Jory.

 

The action was perfect I felt like I was watching a movie. For a Romantic Suspense I felt the romance was 40% and Action 60%. I tend to usually like half and half but it worked for me considering Shane had no memories. For me it flowed great with the plot.

 

Forgotten Sins is a definite page turner with tons of twist and surprises I did not see coming. I needed to know Who is Shane, where has he been the last two years and why did he leave Josie. Forgotten Sins is a Keeper.  Love the sexy cover and the title is perfect with the story line. If never read Rebecca Zanetti novels before I would definitely buy Forgotten Sins for the cover and synopsis. Both cover and synopsis portray the novel perfect. Forgotten Sins is a great start to a kick butt series. I can not wait to see who is up next in Sins Brothers and their cover.

"Say yes, Josie."

 

"Yes." The word came out before she could think.

 

He didn't wait for a qualifier, not that her mind was working fast enough to invent one. Reaching past her, he swept files of papers to the floor. Broad hands circle her wrist, and he lay her back. He flattened her knuckles on either side of her head, palms up. "Keep your hands here."

 

Her fingers curled until nails bit into her palms.

 

His gaze slid to the buttons of her shirt. He quickly flipped them open, smoothing the shirt apart to reveal her plain cotton bra. Hunger flared in his eyes.

 

So much she couldn't speak. She could barely think.

 

"Ah, Josie." He flicked open the clasp and the material sprang apart. "Finally, something I remember. You and us. This. The prettiest pink nipples in the world." His hands dropped onto hers, holding them against solid oak as he lowered his head towards her breast.

 

 

Loved Forgotten Sins with Shane and Josie Review. Shane is dominate in and out of the bedroom. Like in  Josie's office.  Sorry lovelies that is all the snippet you get. It is a hot- Fan-yourself sex scene.

Maggie is a wolf shifter who was captured and experimented on by the Kurjans. Now that a cure has finally been found for shifters (although not for vampire mates or witches), she can concentrate on creating a new life for herself and finally accepting that her memories are gone forever. Most memories, that is. Sometimes in the hazy world between dreams and dawn, she hears a Scottish voice, dark and deep, that sounds suspiciously like wolf-shifter Terrent Vilks. A man she happened to anger by kidnapping a few years back. Hey, it was for a good cause.

Terrent Vilks knows more than he’s let on for the past several years. After digging for answers, he knows exactly why the demons want Maggie dead. And he remembers his past with Maggie…very well. She is finally where he wants her. Now all he has to do is discover what exactly the Kurjans did to her, beat the demons into so much submission they leave her alone, and get her to fall in love with him. Again. Good thing he’s used to wrangling monsters.

 

 

Rebecca Zanetti you Rock! Twisted is another amazing addition to The Dark Protector series. I have read many series and usually with a series there will always be one or a few that do not rate as well as the others, because a character did not catch my attention in earlier novels or the story line fell flat. Not happening in The Dark Protector series. I have read all Dark Protectors novels and novella’s, rated them all 5 stars and Rebecca Zanetti has done it again with a 5 star read with Twisted. Thank You Rebecca for always having likable characters right from the beginning that I find my self interested in wanting to know more about them and look forward to their story.

  

Maggie has been a mystery since being rescued. Loved how we got some back story on where she came from and what was done to her when she was captured by the Kurjans. She had a stubborn streak and a smart mouth before she lost her memory. Her personality is still the same and glad she never lost her personality trait.

 

I have been lusting over Terrent since he was first introduce in early novels with his over protective Alpha Male attitude. He also has been a mystery as why he was so into Maggie and bent out of shape to get her to his pack. They knew each other before she lost her memory but he is keeping some important info from their past inside. Did not see that twist coming and loved how it all played out.

  

Loved how Maggie goes head to head with Terrent and never backs down. Their chemistry is hot with some Fan-Yourself moments. They are fun, playful and sexy together.

 

Jase story is up next in Shadowed (Dark Protectors #6) and can not wait for his story.

Jase Kayrs was the fun brother. The warm, charming, easy-going brother of the vampire leaders. Until he was taken and tortured by demons with their evil mind tricks for nearly five years. Upon his return, he’s dark, violent, and not the man they all thought they knew. Not the man he once was. He’s haunted that the only reason the demons would have let him live was to use him as a weapon against his family—but he can’t figure out when or how he’ll explode. Plus, once again the demons are after Jase with a vengeance…or rather, a female demon he rejected is out to destroy him.

Then the king asks Jase for a favor…a big one. To mate with one of their allies in order to save her. She’s everything that’s good and light in the world…while he’s at home with darkness. Yet he agrees…knowing mating may be the only chance to save them both.

 

Why:

You all know I am a huge Rebecca Zanetti fan and loving Dark Protector series. Loving Jase's cover for Shadowed. Her covers are sexy with a shirtless hero and loving the purple. Bummed it does not come out till October but no worries at least I have her other new novels Under the Covers (Maverick Montana #2),  Forgotten Sins (Sins Brothers #1) to read and get my Zanetti fix for a few months.

Never challenge a cowboy in the courtroom…

Surveying the proposed site for a high-end golf course should have been a breeze for spunky Landscape Architect Sophie Smith. But when this born-and-bred city girl is suddenly—and quite literally—swept off her feet by a sexy cowboy on horseback, she realizes that the country life has some serious (and seriously steamy!) possibilities. That is, until she finds out exactly who her smokin’-hot wrangler really is.

Cowboy and Tribal lawyer Jack Lodge is desperately trying to block the development. And if that means playing hardball—and being every inch the shark lawyer—so be it. But Sophie is a distraction he didn’t expect. A distraction that makes his blood burn.

Two different worlds. Two opposing sides. And when they finally give into the exquisite temptation, the consequences will shake the foundations of both of their lives…

I am a huge fan of Rebecca Zanetti’s Paranormal Romance series The Dark Protectors. I was super excited when I found out she was writing a Contemporary Romance, Against The Wall. Absolutely loved it. Be ready to be swept off your feet with Rebecca’s Zanetti’s new series Maverick Montana.

 

Fist off I am a huge Cowboy hero fan, second found Jack to be more sexy as his main job is a lawyer. I love the combination of a cowboy/lawyer hero as it is refreshing. Rebecca had me falling in love with Jack’s character right from the beginning when he literally swept Sophie off her feet while riding his horse. Then stating jokingly to is brothers he caught her so she is his. I am a huge fan of Rebecca Zanetti’s Alpha Male heroes who are possessive, protective, bit jealous but have a sweet spot for their family and their woman. Wow! Jack was a sexy alpha male hero all the way but is also a sweetheart. 
 

Sophie and Jack are hot together and make a perfect couple. The sexual tension got me hot and bothered. Needed a cold shower after the yummy, steamy sex scenes.

 

Loved the secondary characters and they never take away from Jack and Sophie story. Add so much more to the novel. All the characters are so real, all with their own personalities. Jack lost his wife to a car accident and was left to raise his young daughter Leila with out a mother who is so freakin adorable and has all her uncles around her little pinky. His family helps raise her and loved reading Leila scenes especially when it came to her dad and uncles. All the brothers are sexy with Alpha Male Attitudes. Love how they are all protective of their younger sister Dawn. I love how Rebecca Zanetti teases you with possible couples to have their own story. I am hoping Dawn and Hawke who is her brothers best friend, will be a couple. You can tell she has a crush on him and he is protective of her. I am hoping Quinn who is one of the brothers and is the Sheriff and Juliet are next up in The Maverick Montana series. He is very protective of Juliet and is always scowling around her. Curious about them.

 

Against The Wall is an awesome start to what looks like another great series by Rebecca Zanetti. I can not wait to see who is up next in The Maverick Montana series and the sexy cover. Against The Wall is a keeper.
