She’s the soldier but he’s the only one who can protect her...

When army nurse Grace Ann Riley is framed for a heinous crime, the shell-shocked major is unsure where to turn. Enter her no-strings-attached lover Derek Sayer, who resolves to help her disprove these allegations. Derek works to exonerate Grace Ann while trying—and failing—to keep his growing feelings at bay. He’ll stop at nothing to keep her safe—even if that means risking his life.

 

Electrifying terror! With the second book in The Riley Code series, Regan Black once again delves into the mystery of who is coming after General Riley’s adult kids. In HIS SOLDIER UNDER SIEGE, the spotlight is placed on his daughter and the plot is sinister.

Army nurse Grace Ann Riley is a really easy to connect with character. From the start she goes into her story in an easy going way, and even when it becomes clear that she has been the target for more than one attempt on her life, she keeps her cool and sets out to find answers.

Derek Sayer is temptation on a stick. He’s smart, he’s sexy and he’s there the second he realizes Grace needs him. They might only admit to a friends with benefits relationship for the last couple of years, but each of them feels more than they are willing to admit to the other … or themselves.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone liking a fast paced story line that has danger around every corner and yet revolves around an easy to like family who adores each other. I am really enjoying the Rileys!

“You want me to find you a wife?
“No. I want you to be my wife.”

Will he get more than he bargained for?

Garrett Song is this close to taking the reins of his family’s LA fashion empire…until the Song matriarch insists he marry her handpicked bride first. To block her matchmaking, he recruits Natalie Sobol to pose as his wife. She needs a fake spouse as badly as he does. But when passion burns down their chaste agreement, the flames could destroy them all…

 

Great characters, a beguiling story line and chemistry galore! With her debut novel TEMPORARY WIFE TEMPTATION, Jayci Lee turns on the feels with the first book in The Heirs of Hansol series with Harlequin Desire. Her cast of characters are not only successful and culturally rich, but also filled with emotional back stories that hook a reader quickly to their plights.

Garrett Song is easy to like from the start. He loves and respects his grandmother, but more than anything, he wants to finally be in charge of the family empire and moving things in the direction he feels will benefit the times the most. He isn’t looking to settle down, but when his grandmother names a woman she plans for him to marry, he has to get a little creative to put the ball back into his court.

Natalie Sobol is delightful. She’s hardworking, has a softer side when she wants to but takes no gruff when dealing with the business world. She has her own reason for seeing an advantage to becoming Garrett’s temporary bride … but fake becomes all too real when close quarters lead to an attraction too strong to ignore!

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a yummy marriage of convenience story that ends with a beloved happily ever after. I’m looking forward to more to come in the series and especially for more to come from this new author.
