***MISADVENTURES ARE STANDALONE ROMANCES THAT CAN BE READ IN ANY ORDER***

At age twenty-nine, Piper Daniels is having the longest dry spell of her life. When she agrees to be set up on a blind date, she never expects it to end with the hottest sex of her life.

But when she discovers that her very well-endowed secret lover is also her new boss, heartless womanizer and cutthroat CEO Jackson Dane, she chalks it up to a one-time mistake and puts up her best professional front. But Jackson isn’t used to rejection, and if Piper thinks it’s going to be easy to move on from their tryst, she’s underestimated his determination.

 

Delightfully fun! With a delve into the Misadventures series, Kendall Ryan brings us a fast paced joy! It’s a simple plot, with lots of laughs, a ton of heat and a super sweet connection when we least expect it that makes it a gem of a book to read! Really enjoyed it!

She’s new in town and setting out to make new friends, find new hangouts, and if she’s lucky, live a little! Piper Daniels has no clue that the one time she decides to throw caution to the wind and have a wicked one-night stand, it’s going to be with her new boss at the job she starts the next day … what a nightmare!

Jackson Dane wants nothing more than meaningless sex with an anonymous body to work off the tension of working night and day to become the success he always wanted to be! He’s not one to have relationships, but when he realizes the woman who blew his mind last night is his new assistant, he might be willing to make a new policy just for her!

She has no idea what lurks behind the forbidden doors of the House of Sin...

He is temptation. Forbidden fruit. A craving I can't seem to resist.

I went after him in search of answers, certain he had blood on his hands. Now I've fallen prey to his seductive looks and commanding charisma.

I know he is a threat. He's entwined in a dangerous world I don't understand. But even that doesn't stop me from aching for his touch, for the taste of his wicked lips.

Before I can truly surrender to the fire smoldering between us, I need to know more. I have to see behind the doors he keeps firmly locked.

I need to discover what he's hiding in the shadowy world known as the House of Sin...

**WARNING!**
This book is very sexy, very dark, and very addictive! Features a mysterious hero with a dangerous secret. This is a big story that can't be told in only one book so there is a cliffhanger - but never fear, book two releases three weeks later. The release schedule is as follows:

Books in the House of Sin Series:
FORBIDDEN -- Book 1 -- April 24, 2018
DECEIVED -- Book 2 -- May 15, 2018
UNDONE -- Book 3 - June 5, 2018

 

Exhilaratingly wicked danger! With the first book in her new House of Sin series, Elisabeth Naughton takes us deep into a tortured story that is way out of the realm of her normal type of book. I found myself in a bit of a conundrum reading it. In one sense it felt almost reminiscent of a Eyes Wide Shut type of story where things were happening, yet you couldn’t figure out what was happening or why it was happening until close to the end of the book … but on the other side of the coin, the main characters make a seemingly loving connection that keeps the reader wanting to know what’s going to happen and if they will get their happily ever after in the end. We’re left on a cliff-hanger with the second book in the series coming in just about three weeks, and yes, I’m impatiently waiting to see what happens next! Overall, I didn’t love it, but I want to know how it’s all going to play out so I obviously didn’t outright dislike it either. The characters were well-developed, the plot was intriguing and had the potential to really pack a wallop, but sadly fell a little flat.

She innocently enters a world she is clueless about in order to try to find answers to what happened to an important person in her life. She never sets out to trust him much less fall for him … now she’s caught up in his world and has no clue what she’s gotten herself into or how to get out alive!

He is taken with her from the first moment he lays eyes on her, but he has to get her to go away and stop poking her nose in where it doesn’t belong. If only she wasn’t so deliciously intriguing to him. He can’t resist having a taste … but he swears he’ll keep her tucked away separate from his diabolical world!

She’d fought for her life
but the terror continues.

For five years FBI agent Blake Garrett has fixated on a serial-killer case. Now the madman has attacked Marissa Lane. She escaped with her life…and some clues that could help Blake. Yet she is still the object of the killer’s obsession. And Blake is torn between the unquenching need to catch his prey and a deep desire to protect the woman he can’t possibly keep.

 

Riveting danger, an intriguing backstory and a sexy lawman to save the day … what more could we ask for? With her first story in the Harlequin Intrigue line, Julie Anne Lindsey does not disappoint! She comes in strong with a sassy heroine, a conniving villain and a gun-touting cop determined to bring justice once and for all! It was fast paced, attention grabbing throughout, and had a sweet happily-ever-after. Really enjoyed!

Photographer Marissa Lane wasn’t expecting to become the victim of an attempted abduction when she went out for a run one morning, but she finds herself smack dab in the middle of the return of a fugitive serial killer to the area!

FBI agent Blake Garrett has never forgiven himself for letting this monster get the slip on him 5 years ago, and not a day has gone by that he hasn’t been hunting for him. Finally the end of this nightmare might be near … but first he has to keep Marissa safe as the psycho starts playing hunting games!
