Goodreads

 

Peril and passion on enemy seas…
Lottie Livingstone bears the weight of an island on her shoulders. Under threat of losing their home, she and her clan take to the seas to sell a shipload of illegal whiskey. When an attack leaves them vulnerable, she transforms from a maiden daughter to a clever warrior. For survival, she orchestrates the siege of a rival’s ship and now holds the devilish Scottish captain Aulay Mackenzie under her command.

Tied, captive and forced to watch a stunning siren commandeer the Mackenzie ship, Aulay burns with the desire to seize control—of the ship and Lottie. He has resigned himself to a life of solitude on the open seas, but her beauty tantalizes him like nothing has before. As authorities and enemies close in, he is torn between surrendering her to justice and defending her from assailants. He’ll lose her forever, unless he’s willing to sacrifice the unimaginable…

 

Thoughts: A tied and captive highlander under a heroines command got me interested.

Pestilence by Laura Thalassa

Series: The Four Horsemen #1

Genre: Fantasy

Publisher: Author (March 20, 2018)

Pages: 383

Format: Kindle

 

Amazon / Goodreads

They came to earth—Pestilence, War, Famine, Death—four horsemen riding their screaming steeds, racing to the corners of the world. Four horsemen with the power to destroy all of humanity. They came to earth, and they came to end us all.

When Pestilence comes for Sara Burn’s town, one thing is certain: everyone she knows and loves is marked for death. Unless, of course, the angelic-looking horseman is stopped, which is exactly what Sara has in mind when she shoots the unholy beast off his steed.

Too bad no one told her Pestilence can’t be killed.

Now the horseman, very much alive and very pissed off, has taken her prisoner, and he’s eager to make her suffer. Only, the longer she’s with him, the more uncertain she is about his true feelings towards her … and hers towards him.

And now, well, Sara might still be able to save the world, but in order to do so, she'll have to sacrifice her heart in the process.  

Thoughts: Pestilence with its many great reviews has been recommended to me on Goodreads three times. About time I added it to my Sweet Temptation Feature.

Have you read this book or author?

Life: Sorry all I have been MIA here and there last few weeks. Work and family life has been busy. Been trying to write a review and it is just not happening. Hopefully after this weekend everything will be calm down.

Lot of family time with the grandkids and enjoying every minute. Hope you all have been having a beautiful week.

Amazon / Goodreads

I knew something was wrong the second she walked in the door tonight; I just couldn’t put my finger on what it was.

 

Same hair color.

Same legs.

Same face.

 

Except…I look harder.

At the small dimple beneath her lip that wasn’t there the last time we went out. And her laugh—that laugh isn’t as loud.

 

This isn’t the girl I’ve gone out with the past few weeks.

It’s her twin sister, and they’ve switched places on me.

 

Only I’m not quite ready to let them switch back.

Thoughts: Hello. Look what I found from Angie Elle @ Books & Beauty Are My Bag. Switch Hitter was on her Cover Reveal post  that caught my attention. This is a spin off from How To Date A Douchebag series. Nothing comes to my mind of ever reading about twin girls switching places. Sounds refreshing. First time author for me so I am thinking this might be my book introduction. Bonus always looking for a New Adult series.

Had this saved in my draft since Feb. 2018. Thought I would share since I am still interested.

Have you read this author or book? Do you have it on you TBR list already?

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publisher: Entangled

 

Amazon / Goodreads

There's sin, and then there's literally going-straight-to-hell sin...

Being in lust with my dead brother's wife pretty much guarantees that one day I'll be the devil's bitch. But Eden Gordon works with me, so it's getting harder and harder to stay away. I promised my family — and him — I would, though.

My days as an MMA champion are behind me. But whenever I see her, with those wicked curves and soft mouth created for dirty deeds, it's a knock-down fight to just maintain my distance. "Hard Knox" becomes more than just the name of my tattoo shop. However, surrendering to the forbidden might be worth losing everything...

Thoughts:  I do not know if I ever read a book about lusting over a dead brothers wife. New to me author but I do have a book from another series from her.

Cover:  Yes this sexy cover with  all the tattoos got me one clicking to find out more info. Very simple and like the blue font against the matching background.

Not A Hero by Cherise Sinclair

Series: Sons Of Survivalist #1

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Romantic Suspense,

Publisher: VanScoy Publishing Group on January 29, 2019

 

Goodreads

In the Alaska wilderness, four streetwise boys became men—and brothers

 

Now the crazy ex-military survivalist who plucked Gabriel and three other boys from an abusive foster care home has died. But the sarge leaves them a final mission--to revive the dying town of Rescue. 

Gabe is done with being a hero.

 

Wounded in body and soul, the retired SEAL simply wants to remain holed up in his isolated cabin. He sure doesn’t want to be chief of police in some defunct town. But he has his orders.

Audrey needs a place to hide

 

After the Chicago librarian discovers a horrendous crime, she wakes to an assassin in her bedroom. Injured and terrified, she flees, covering her trail every inch of the way. New name, new ID. New home. As Audrey learns to survive in Rescue, she begins to fall for the town…and the intimidating chief of police who protects it. 

Can the shy introvert and the deadly police chief find a life together?

 

Despite the discord in town, Gabe is finding his own peace…with the quiet young woman who seems to have no past. She’s adorable and caring and so very lost. But how can he trust someone who lies to him with every breath she takes?

Thoughts: Cherise Sinclair is known for giving readers some sexy kink in her Master Of The Shadowlands series that I loved and still need to finish. From what I gather from some reviews there is no BDSM  in this book but still steamy. Curious how she does with out the BDSM. I have read some mix reviews but never about missing the BDSM. Love the idea about four men that grown up together become brothers. Hoping for some good secondary characters like I got in Shadowland Series.  

 

Cover: Looks like a Romantic Suspense. A nice close up of a fine hero. Loving the winter backdrop.

Wild Hunger by Chloe Neill

Series: Heirs Of Chicagoland #1

Genre: Urban Fantasy

Publisher: Berkley On August 14, 2018

Goodreads

As the only vampire child ever born, some believed Elisa Sullivan had all the luck. But the magic that helped bring her into the world left her with a dark secret. Shifter Connor Keene, the only son of North American Central Pack Apex Gabriel Keene, is the only one she trusts with it. But she's a vampire and the daughter of a Master and a Sentinel, and he's prince of the Pack and its future king.

When the assassination of an ambassador brings old feuds to the fore again, Elisa and Connor must choose between love and family, between honor and obligation, before Chicago disappears forever. 

Thoughts: I have seen Chicagoland Vampires series around but have yet to read them. This seems to be a spin off from that series. I am liking the idea of a Vampire heroine and a Shifter hero. I read the prologue on Chloe Neill website and thought it was adorable. 

Are You Fan Of Chicagoland series? Are you eagerly waiting for the first Heirs Of Chicagoland?

Under Fire by Scarlett Cole

Series: Love Over Duty #1

Publisher: St. Martin's Paperbacks

Genre: Romantic Suspense

 

Goodreads

 

HE CAN TAKE THE HEAT.

Hot, hard-bodied Sixten Rapp is a former SEAL who’s raring to begin his brand-new civilian life. He and his Navy “brothers” start a security firm that offers the kind of services only a team of military-trained professionals can provide. But nothing prepared Six for his new client: an innocent woman on a mission to improve thousands of lives. . . unless someone takes hers first.

CAN SHE HANDLE THE FLAMES?

Dr. Louisa North knows time is against her as she tries to create a “miracle” medical treatment for a disease with no known cure, until she creates a sample so powerful that the wrong people want to use it as a chemical weapon. At first, Six is unwilling to accept Louisa as his client. But soon he realizes that the danger is real and that there’s much more to this plain-Jane scientist…including a burning passion between them that neither of them can resist. And now that an enemy is on Louisa’s trail, Six will do whatever it takes to protect her—or die trying.

Thoughts: I would  have no problems visualizing a hot, hard bodied Sixten Rapp while reading Under Fire.  Navy "brothers" that start a security firm has got me wanting this soon. Usually with former military books you get that comradeship with the team I just loved to read about.

Goodreads

From #1 bestselling author Lora Leigh comes Collision Point, part of the thrilling Brute Force series—packed with powerful men, steely women, and explosive passion.

SHE’S NOTHING BUT TROUBLE
Riordan Malone is more than a bodyguard. As an Elite Ops agent, he’s ripped, raged, and ready to rumble—a true warrior, inside and out. But no war zone can compare to the battle in Rory’s heart when he lays eyes on the only woman he’s ever loved—and thought he had lost forever. . .

HE’S EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS
As the daughter of a crime lord, Amara Resnova has endured the cruelty of her father’s enemies—and has tried to escape that world ever since. Now, she must reach out to the one man who saved her life, even if she’s never forgiven him for breaking her heart. But Amara is tougher today than she was then. She’s also more desirable to Rory—and dangerous to love. Can he protect her from her father’s enemies without surrendering to his own passions…or will love seal their fate for good?

Thoughts: It has been some time since I read a Romantic Suspense from Lora Leigh. I miss her sexy Alpha Males. I am curious how this series will be. Hopefully it will be as good as her Tempting Seals and Elite Ops series.

Spiders In The Grove by J.A. Redmerski

Publisher: Author

Series: In The Company Of Killers #7

Genre: Suspense

Goodreads

Izabel and Naeva find themselves right where they wanted to be in Mexico: captured and held in the slave compounds owned by the Ruiz family. But the two are soon separated and forced into very different—but equally dangerous—situations. Izabel spends the next three weeks playing a role she never expected she would get the opportunity to play, but her luck runs out when Naeva’s life hangs in the balance, and only Izabel can save her. But at a terrible cost. If Izabel chooses to help Naeva, it will expose a lie she has been carrying on her shoulders since she met Victor Faust. A lie that will not only potentially make everyone in Victor’s Order distrust her going forward, but one that will also blow her carefully constructed cover In Mexico, and that could get her killed.

Fredrik, still looking for his serial killer, does not have to look long—the killer finds him. And Niklas’s past catches up to him when an old enemy comes back for revenge. But it will be Victor’s actions that shake up those left in his Order, and ultimately, be its downfall.

Thoughts: I am combining My Sweet Temptation Feature and Lusting For Covers Meme from  TBQ @ TBQ'S Book Palace.

I have loved all the covers for this series. They have all portrayed the characters with each of their books and the plot. I like the black and white with some red font.

I am a huge fan of this series and get excited with each new book. I am not one to read Suspense other than the sexy hero Roarke from In Death Series by J.D. Robb. I felt when In The Company Of Killers first came out with Killing Sarai it was more of a Romantic Suspense but by the third book Fredrik story I defiantly seen the turn in the series to more of suspense. I was happy with the way she went with the series.  As J.A. Redmerski states in Fredrik story, this series can be categorized as Crime, Suspense, Thriller, Mystery, Psychological Thriller and sometimes Romanic Suspense. It does have the elements of love and romance but not enough to actually fall into those categories.  That is the best part with each book I never know what I am going to get. J.A. Redmerski is not afraid to shock readers with any crazy twist, that for me have never been over the top, eye rolling ridiculous. She does not throw crazy things in there to just make it a shock factor. No, she is a brilliant writer that all of the  twist and turns have been true to plot. If anything  in some cases if she would of written them different it would of felt off in the plot. Now I am eager for book #7 because the plot has been leading up to this moment for a few books. Can not wait to see how everything plays out.

Judgment Road by Christine Feehan

Series: Torpedo Ink #1

Release Date: January 23, 2018

Goodreads

An outlaw motorcycle club sets up shop next door to Sea Haven in the dangerously sexy new series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan.

As the enforcer of the Torpedo Ink motorcycle club, Reaper lives for riding and fighting. He's a stone-cold killer who turns his wrath on those who deserve it. Feelings are a weakness he can't afford--until a gorgeous bartender gets under his skin...

Near Sea Haven, the small town of Caspar has given Anya Rafferty a new lease on life. And she's desperate to hold on to her job at the biker bar, even if the scariest member of the club seems to have it out for her. But Reaper's imposing presence and smoldering looks just ratchet up the heat.

Anya's touch is everything Reaper doesn't want--and it brands him to the bone. But when her secrets catch up to her, Reaper will have to choose between Anya and his club--his heart and his soul.

Thoughts: Love Christine Feehan and Bikers. She already has her own voice and story telling with Vampires, Shifters and  Enhanced Soldiers. Look Foward to see how she does with a Biker Novel.

I know I already did a Tonya Burrows book just recently but the synopsis for Too Wilde To Tame has caught my attention. I do not know why but I love neighbors in my reads. I really want to dive straight  into Greer and Natalie story. I will most likely start from book 1 as I also love brothers in my reads.

Goodreads quote caught my attention for Honor Reclaimed.

 

“One shot, one kill. Anything more is a waste.” He ejected the fired cartridge, chambered a fresh round. “Find the others.”

 

The corner of Ian’s mouth kicked up in a sardonic half smile and he lifted the scope again. “This doesn’t mean we’re friends. I still think you’re window-licking insane, Hero.”

 

“And I still think you’re an evil motherfucker, so we’re even. Now find me another target.”

 

Thoughts

I had Seal Of Honor (Hornet #1) for review from NetGalley. But I did not get a chance to read it before I stopped doing ARC. I am a huge fan of  "boys club" in my reads. Hopefully I will get to Hornets series soon.

 

Sweet Temptation Feature: Gabriel's Ghost by Linnea Sinclair

Sweet Temptation is a feature on Wickedly Delicious Book Blog. That centers around books that have caught my attention. Whether it be a quote, snippet, teaser, excerpt, synopsis or a review.

 

I remember seeing Linnea Sinlair in books stores a while back. Never really gave them much thought since I do not read a lot of Science Fiction. I was curious to see what Renee at Addicted To Romance thought of it so I read her review.  First "Gabriel Sullivan–alpha mercenary, smuggler, and rogue–is supposed to be dead." in the synopsis caught my attention. Then in her review she had me with "Gabriel is a man that is alpha when he needs to be, proud, a fighter and cunning and over protective especially of his closest friends." That is the kind of alpha male hero I love in my books. Thanks Renee for another addition to my goodreads.
