A taste of the forbidden…

Under the Mediterranean sun!

As long as hotelier MJ can remember, dangerously attractive tycoon Nikos has been strictly off-limits because the scars of their families’ feud run deep. Now MJ needs to track down her wayward sister, and he’s the only person who can help! They're alone together, and tensions run high as they both fight the inevitable chemistry. But when MJ sees the real man behind the guarded mask, she realizes he’s worth risking it all for!

 

An electrifying forbidden romance! Michelle Douglas shines in ESCAPE WITH HER GREEK TYCOON as a journey to healing and forgiveness makes way for familiar expectations and love at all cost. The characters were highly enjoyable and the emotional depth was spot on. I highly enjoyed MJ and Nikos!

MJ is a giving soul who loves deeply and invests all of herself in others.

Nikos is willing to transform the man he thought he was into the man worthy of this special lady once they narrow down the details of who is trustworthy in the past.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys an emotional love story filled with family drama, tender connections and the will to be together through anything.

His housekeeper in the spotlight
Or his irresistible Cinderella?

Bianca Palmer’s world hasn’t been the same since going into hiding for her own protection. After taking work as a housekeeper, she’s shocked to discover her boss is Everett Drake—the man she shared a mesmerizing encounter with six months ago!

Face-to-face, their attraction immediately flares back to life. And when their relationship is suddenly exposed, a pretend romance with playboy Everett will protect Bianca by distracting the press. But will it risk her wanting more from this billionaire with so many secrets?

 

Electrifying chemistry sets the stage! Dani Collins is joining the Jet-Set Billionaires series with a bang in CINDERELLA FOR THE MIAMI PLAYBOY and it was highly entertaining and enjoyable. The characters were intriguing and the storyline was fairly fast paced.

Bianca is self-reliant and resourceful when she has to be and the undercover life she’s leading leads her straight to the doorstep of a former steamy connection.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the uncovering of a bit of a ruse as a relationship develops and fleshes itself out.

An asset to his business…

Or a danger to his heart?

Only moments after a mysterious outsider catches hotelier Rafael Wentworth’s eye at the Texas Cattleman’s Club, he saves her from catastrophe. Their subsequent steamy night together leaves the recently returned black sheep of Royal’s illustrious Wentworth family craving more. In town to find her nephew’s father, Eve Martin needs a job, and Rafael is only too glad to help…and indulge their hotter-than-Texas chemistry. But Eve’s priorities are clear, and the perennial playboy has no plans to settle down. Maybe ever. Is he playing with fire? Definitely…

 

Love when they least expect it! With the fifth book in the always entertaining Texas Cattleman’s Club: Fathers and Sons series Nadine Gonzalez brings us an endearing match in THE REBEL’S RETURN. I loved both of these characters and thought they were great together, but I would have liked to have seen more development of their relationship in the end to make the story feel more complete. Overall a fast paced, emotional delight!

Eve is a complex character. She’s determined to overcome her health set back and get her nephew settled into a good life, but she finds herself falling for a man who isn’t the type to be there in the long run. I enjoyed her.

Rafael is a take charge kind of guy who built himself up from nothing and doesn’t feel the need to bow to pressure to be more than he is. He was an inspiring character.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a whole lot of drama and intrigue built into their romance with attention grabbing characters and satisfying connections.

A criminologist out for justice.
A BAU agent desperate to save his career.
A dangerous path that can make them whole...or leave them in pieces.

FBI criminologist January Reese is on the hunt. A homicide victim robbed of one of her organs fits the motive behind two previous serial cases, and she senses a connection. But when her former partner—the ex who chose his job over her—is asked to consult on the case, January will do whatever it takes to ensure he can’t compromise her or this investigation.

Lincoln Dunn’s legendary career with the BAU is at risk. On probation with the unit, his only option is to solve this case ahead of January. But all too soon her insights, her compassion, and her determination to bring down a killer remind him of why he fell for her years ago. And threaten everything he’s set out to achieve.

As January and Lincoln unravel a puzzle of greed and desperation, they must rediscover the trust they once shared to stop this new brand of serial offender. Before the killer’s collection is complete.

 

Twists and turns will keep you hooked! With the third book in her Hunting Ground series Nichole Severn takes her reader along on an adventure filled with intrigue, danger and a reunion of past loves. The characters were quick to catch my attention and the storyline quickly moved into the heart of the mystery.

January is easy enough to sympathize with when we learn her history with Lincoln, and watching them overcome his abandonment and move forward together is heartwarming.

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a complicated mystery involving serial killers and a mysterious connection that is still unfolding.
