INSEVERABLE
Carolina Beach #1
Cecy Robson
Releasing June 21st, 2016


How can you imagine forever with someone who's leaving everything behind?

Callahan, a former army sniper, wants to make an escape from his past and everything he experienced at war, but most of all, just not feel. Feeling leads to pain and he's suffered enough. When he inherits a house on South Carolina's Kiawah Island, he packs his bags, lured by the peace and seclusion he thinks it will bring. But, Callahan never counted on meeting anyone like Trinity . . .

Trinity has always been the cute, and funny one, who most guys overlook inpursuit of her "hot" friends. She became used to being everyone's pal, until the day the young man she was attracted to, was drawn to her in return. He became her first great love, and first crushing heartbreak when she found him in bed with one of her closest friends.

To move forward, and to carry out her commitment to helping those in need, Trinity enlists in the Peace Corps, but not before returning to Kiawah for one last memorable summer. She just never imagined it would be so unforgettable.

Callahan doesn't want to get close to anyone-let alone Trinity. He finds her perkiness insufferable and her attempts to entice a smile distracting. After all, he's in Kiawah to leave all feelings behind. But when it comes to Trinity, who feels everything, it's hard not to feel something.

Excerpt:



Prologue
Callahan
Three days.
That’s all I have left until this shit ends.
Three days shouldn’t feel like forever, not compared to the eight years I’ve bled to the Army. Thing is, good men have been killed in less time. In as quick as a blink, a squeeze of a trigger, or a small breath right before a grenade blows is all the time it takes to shove someone right out of life and well into death.
That’s what makes three days as long as it is. Three days is plenty of time to die.
My eyes tear when the wind picks up and shoots grime through the small hole of my lookout point. This blown out piece of cinderblock is only big enough to allow me a view of the street below, but not so small I don’t get smacked in the face with more filth. The tarp flaps above me as I spit out another layer of the dirt-sand mix spackling my teeth. Christ Almighty, I need a swig of the water resting near my elbow. But my thirst, like everything else has to wait.
I have a job to do.
I adjust my hips against the cracked cement of my bed, bathroom, and home all rolled into one, thankful that the agonizing ache stretching over the lower half of my body has settled into a now familiar numbness.
Out of all the points I’d scouted, and all the accumulated years spent in this position, I should be used to it. And in a strange way, it should almost be home. Yet nothing ever has been home.
But in three days, maybe something finally will be . . .
I shove my thoughts away and breathe as my fellow Rangers stalk along the street. It’s then I see them, a mother and daughter walking straight toward my team. Less than one city block separates them from the men counting on me to keep them alive.
The hell? How did they get past the other sniper unreported? Rogers is new on watch. But the quick paces these two are taking should have clued him in that something’s up. I train my scope on their faces; their expressions are blank, unreadable. ‘Cept that’s not what keeps my attention.
The little girl can’t be more than five. So why the fuck isn’t her mother holding her hand? I lift my radio and bark a warning, dropping it beside me as I lock my scope dead center on the woman’s head.
The radio crackles and Modreski chimes in, yelling at his team to hold their positions. He asks me what my plan is, knowing if something’s caused the short-hairs on my neck to rise, he and the boys damn well need to listen. But I don’t hear him, with a breath and a squeeze of the trigger, I leave a kid without a mother.
Just beneath the sleeve of her abayah―the dress completely covering her body―I see it, a detonator that would trigger the explosives likely strapped to her chest.
 A few Rangers I
know―Simons and Boreman, rush forward. I start to mutter a curse, pissed at her for making me shoot her in front of her kid. But the curse lodges in my throat when I see the kid isn’t looking at her mother lying next to her dead.
She’s watching my advancing team as she lifts the detonator clasped tight in her hand.

Happy Release Day! The Omega Team: Ethan's Promise (A Men of Mercy book) by Lindsay Cross ~ Review





The Omega Team: Ethan's Promise
A Men Of Mercy book
by Lindsay Cross


Ethan Slade was a loner. No parents. No wife and kids. No liabilities. He had one love in his life - the Special Forces. As a member of the elite Task Force Scorpion, he'd been on more near death missions than most soldiers experienced in a lifetime and he liked it. So when his commander put him on a forced two-week vacation, Ethan did the only thing he could - took Grey Holden and Team Omega up on an offer for another mission: provide protection to a senator's daughter at her wedding.

Kate Richards had a chip on her shoulder. After being fired from her job as a CIA analyst because her boss wanted her in his bed instead of behind a computer, Kate was left without a job or a clue as to what she would do next. Then ran into Athena Madero, who'd had her own problem with asshole bosses and offered Kate a new job - come work for her private security company, Team Omega.

After years of ribbing and sexual harassment, Kate wanted nothing to do with men. Period. Especially tall, dark and handsome alpha male operative Ethan Slade. The last thing Ethan wanted or needed was to give up his life as a roamer, avoiding any attachments or obligations. But neither of them is prepared for the instant eruption of desire at their first meeting.

The two come together in an explosion of passion so potent it will leave them both marked for life. But just as quickly as they've come together, Kate is violently ripped from his fingers, and it's up to Ethan to rescue the woman he's come to love before he ends up alone again.







Review

I absolutely adore the Men Of Mercy series and this was no exception!

 It was fun to see such a strong female lead, Kate is tough as nails and everything she does is to distance herself from the way she was supposed to act...like her Mother. Ethan is the type of guy who's sole purpose in life is his work. He does not believe in family or relationships of any kind...other than those he works with.

When Ethan is forced to take a break from work an friend offers him up a cushy bodyguard job and he jumps on the offer. Kate is brought in because of her background and being a female, although she has never been in the field. Ethan is forced to spend time with Kate, while training her for this "cushy babysitting" job and the sparks fly between them!

Ethan's Promise was thrilling and super sexy ( I mean ...Ethan...yeah!) It was everything you would expect from a Men of Mercy book and the wonderful author, Lindsay Cross!

What a fantastic read! Funny, exhilarating, a book that just makes you feel good! The story line had a slow build-up and with that slow build-up you got to really know these characters well ~ even the secondary characters ~ they had such depth, it was like reading about your own group of friends. 

Max & Danny were absolutely perfect for each other...Max knew it but Danny couldn't see past their friendship. I do have to say that Danny seemed blind to a few things in life...such as Max & her boyfriend, but that was kinda a bit comedic. It took that one fateful moment to bring them together.

Friends to lovers with a bit a the geekiness thrown in...you really do need to check out this book

Buffalo Undercover by N Kuhn


Candace Banchetti is trying to figure out if she can make a relationship work with Dominic Bartel, the undercover FBI agent she met during the Sirocco case. She wants to take her time to assimilate back to being a part of the precinct, after months of undercover work right out of the Academy. She's had enough pretending to be someone else. That is until Omega Team comes in and hires her and Dominic to help take down a sex trafficking ring.
How can she say no when so many girl’s lives hang in the balance? Thrust back into undercover work, Candace and Dom play their roles perfectly, but is it enough to keep Candace safe? Can they save the girls and take down the trafficking ring?


A stand-off is defined as a heated situation between two equally matched opponents – which perfectly describes the sizzling sexual tension between former SEAL Deacon Jones and the woman his boss asks him to evaluate. Deacon is not happy with the situation, but he’s given his word to his friend, Grey Holden, and he’ll do it – even if it kills him. She shows up at his reclusive home on the Pedernales River, deep in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, eager to prove she has what it takes to be part of the Omega Team. Having lost a female member of his unit while in Afghanistan, Deacon holds himself accountable and has no wish to be responsible for sending another woman into harms’ way.
But she’s good… he can’t deny it – she may even be better than he is.
Everything about her turns him on – from her hot sexy body to her super-spy skills. But Deacon doesn’t intend to get involved. He’s given up on women since his wife left him after he lost a leg to an IED.
Natasha Levin has another take on the situation. She’s never met anyone like Deacon Jones and she wants to learn everything he can teach her – from the firing range to the bedroom.
Both have scars they try to hide, he was injured serving his country and she was tortured by her father’s enemies after the former Russian general defected to America. What happens when an irresistible force goes head to head with an immovable object? They’ll find out when they are called upon to work together to save a child being held hostage in a rancher’s dispute with the federal government over land rights. One thing for certain – there will be fireworks…and lots and lots of sex.

Aimee O’Brien has harbored a not-so-little crush on her school’s new first-grade teacher since the beginning of the year. Tall, muscled, with long hair and a beard, and a penchant for wearing silly ties to amuse his students…the man is too gorgeous for words.

He’s looking for someone of substance, and Aimee has far more to offer than just her adorably disheveled look.

Trapped in the gym, Aimee and Tony will have to work together to get out with their lives…and the lives of the dozens of students trapped with them.

Bastard SEAL by B.B. Hamel ~ Review

Bastard SEAL
A Bad Boy Forbidden Baby Romance
by B.B. Hamel


That bastard got me pregnant and then he disappeared.
Handsome, ripped, and dangerous. If only I’d known that the delicious stranger was a Navy SEAL on a mission. For just one night, Emory Rush seduced me on the dance floor, carried me to his bed, and made me feel things I never imagined. Then he vanished, leaving me alone and pregnant. If it weren’t for my son Mason I would think it was all a dream. 


A fantasy, that a man like Emory could make me feel so good.
When he shows up on my doorstep months later to warn me that my life is in danger, I can’t believe him. But soon it all becomes clear: Emory’s been hunting a group of international terrorists, and now those enemies know that Mason and I exist.

We’re in danger, and the only man that can protect us is the same bastard that left me shattered.
With a terrorist plot threatening the country and the future of our family at stake, we have to learn to trust each other or else lose everything








Emory is the dirtiest talking Alpha Bad Boy I have ever read...and yeah, he can certainly be a bastard too! I think this only makes me want him more.

Sweet n sassy Tara is on a dream vacation with her bestie, when she is stalked on the dance floor of the hotel's club by Emory. They spend one night together and as you know once is all it takes....to get pregnant.

After months of trying to locate Emory to tell him about his child, Emory appears on Tara's doorstep with a crazy story about someone being after her and their child. Danger will cause them to go on the run but also bring them together for Mason.

This story was a wild ride of epic proportions....danger, intrigue, hot sex, and lots of dirty talk. I loved this book and read it in one sitting.

Happy Release Day! Extreme Pursuit: Chasing Justice 2 by Alex Kingwell ~ Review

Extreme Pursuit
Chasing Justice #2
by Alex Kingwell




Nicky Bosko barely remembers the mother who abandoned her twenty years ago. But when her mother's long-buried remains are discovered, the authorities suspect murder-and turn to Nicky for help. Putting her trust in the magnetic detective who wants to explore her memories of the past, Nicky is desperate to learn the truth.


Cullen Fraser knows the odds against solving a case as cold as this one. Yet the brutal killing of a woman deserves justice. As he begins to unravel a web of lies, it becomes clear that Nicky is in danger and that his need to protect her goes far beyond duty. But before he can even think of a future with her, he must keep her safe from the betrayals of her past . .









Review:

Extreme Pursuit is book #2 in the Chasing Justice series but can be read as a stand-alone. 

How shocking it must be to live your life one way and then to find out something completely different! Nicky lived for years with anger at the thought that her mother just abandoned her and her family until she is contacted by Detective Cullen Fraser with the news that they found the remains of her mother. 

For the first few chapters, I was unsure how I felt about the heroine, Nicky seemed kinda whiny and a bit childlike in the sense that she constantly referred all things to her father or sister. "ask my sister" " my father would know" etc. There was a point in the story where she ran off "half cocked" into a dangerous situation and i found it to be too much for me to believe.

The story line itself was really good - I like the premise behind it, but, I found myself so annoyed with the character Nicky, that it just didn't hold my attention very well. I did finish the book and it came to the right conclusion with an HEA ~ I will just leave it as not quite my cup of tea.
