Help her. That’s all Niall Jones can think to do when his target almost panics. Undercover operative Niall is tracking suspected traitor Dr. Savannah Whitman, but when she comes under threat, he can’t help but swoop in to save her. And the sparks that fly between the secret agent and Savannah are anything but covert.

After a personal tragedy, Savannah decided to depart her high-security defense job to live life to the fullest. But she never expected to meet a sexy, mysterious stranger—or for her very safety to be under siege…and enigmatic Niall is the only one who can protect her!

 

Danger lurks around every corner in Amelia Autin’s latest action-packed read! With a magical glimpse into the history and culture of China, the Man On A Mission series is back to lead us heart first into Niall’s story! The intrigue comes alive on the first page and continues throughout the book as they try to put the pieces all together to figure out who the bad guys are. The characters have not only a steamy sexual chemistry, but also a really fun banter between them that makes you smile as you enjoy it. The plot was fairly well developed, with a little drag here and there, but overall a well told story that left us with that delightful happily ever after that we love so much!

Undercover operative Niall Jones has one goal in mind when he goes on his latest mission … eliminate the threat! It doesn’t take him long to realize that the intel he received on the suspect can’t possibly be true when the start of a panic attack leads him to step in and rescue her and see her true nature fairly quickly in the game. When danger rears it’s ugly head, he has to figure out a way to keep her safe without triggering her suspicion as to why he’s there.

After suffering a loss, Savannah Whitman decided life was too short to work all of the time and quit her secret clearance job to travel around the world. She doesn’t know how she lucked into meeting this handsome man so quickly on her trip to China, but she’s thanking her lucky stars! When strange things start to happen around her, Niall convinces her she’s in danger and that he’s the only one that can keep her safe … but when she discovers he’s keeping secrets, will she be able to lay it all on the line and trust in the man that is stealing her heart?

Sarah Morgan is back with more love and laughter in her acclaimed series, From Manhattan With Love, which Publishers Weekly calls a “sweep-you-off-your-feet romantic experience.”

Determined to conquer a lifetime of shyness, Harriet Knight challenges herself to do one thing a day in December that scares her, including celebrating Christmas without her family. But when dog walker Harriet meets her newest client, exuberant spaniel Madi, she adds an extra challenge to her list—dealing with Madi’s temporary dog sitter, gruff doctor Ethan Black, and their very unexpected chemistry.

Ethan thought he was used to chaos, until he met Madi—how can one tiny dog cause such mayhem? To Ethan, the solution is simple—he will pay Harriet to share his New York apartment and provide twenty-four-hour care. But there’s nothing simple about how Harriet makes him feel.

Ethan’s kisses make Harriet shine brighter than the stars over moonlit Manhattan. But when his dog-sitting duties are over and Harriet returns to her own home, will she dare to take the biggest challenge of all—letting Ethan know he has her heart for life, not just for Christmas?

 

Sweet characters, explosive tension and a sassy dog make for an awesome read! I loved seeing Harriet strive to take control of her life … and find her happily ever after along the way! Watching her overcome her past was a powerful story line that brings mixed emotions to the surface. Pride for her being able to find the strength to try to better herself, yet sadness for the little girl she was. Great story line with lots of laughs along the journey … and a perfect match of characters. Loved it!

Shy introvert Harriet Knight is determined to cut the cord from her twin sister and over-protective brother. She adores them, but she needs to step up and be able to exist on her own. She’s set out to make changes in her life and has challenged herself do one thing per day in the month of December that scares her … including spending Christmas away from her family! She survives a mini-crisis or two along the way, and then meets the challenge that just might do her in … adorable dog Madi and sexy ER doc Ethan Black!

Ethan has an extremely busy and demanding career, but when his sister needs his help during an emergency, he’s there for her … even if it means he has a dog staying at his house. How can one little animal make his world so insane?? There’s only one solution! He has to convince Harriet the dog walker to become the dog nanny with 24/7 care from the guest room of his home! When he finds himself becoming attached, how will they handle the attraction they feel? And when the time comes for Madi and Harriet to go back home again, will the sexy doc be happy to get his empty house back?

Snowbound with the boss—and a baby!

When his assistant finds an abandoned baby at his family’s lodge, wealthy Piers Luckman takes full responsibility. He might be clueless about children, but being snowbound with his capable, sexy employee has its benefits. Except Faye Darby shies away from little Casey and wants nothing to do with baby-rearing, Christmas…or the smoldering attraction between her and her boss. For the first time in his life, Piers must fight for what he wants—this little family…and Faye by his side and in his bed.

 

An innocent baby, her sexy as all get out boss and a massive winter storm … what else could go wrong?? A touching story of overcoming tragedy even after closing yourself off from the world. The characters were fun to get to know, and the plot was fulfilling.

Just as she’s on the brink of escaping the Christmas nonsense her sexy boss insists upon, Faye Darby stumbles upon an abandoned baby at her boss’s vacation lodge. Past trauma has her wanting nothing to do with Christmas or a baby … no matter how adorable he may be! … but Mother Nature has other ideas in her mind as she winds up snowbound with the likes of both!

Piers Luckman had no idea he had a buried family man buried inside himself … but spending days on end snuggled up with an adorable baby and a prickly yet lovely lady has all kinds of ideas floating around in his head!
