BOOK SYNOPSIS:
At a benefit dinner, community activist Maria Cervantes overhears two men plotting a terrorist attack that could rock Miami to its core. But before she can alert authorities, she’s almost killed in a massive explosion—and wakes up in a hospital with no memory of what happened. As the sole survivor of the attack, she is now a person of interest to the NSA—and especially to Agent Cade O’Reilly. Because Maria is the one woman Cade has never been able to forget.

Years ago, they were closer than either was willing to admit—until Cade disappeared when Maria needed him most. Now he’s sticking by her, whether she likes it or not. Because the memories locked inside her mind could hold vital clues to the next attack. Because terrorists want her dead—and because he never wants to let her go again.

REVIEW:
As I read over my original review of Bound to Danger (below) I find that I loved this book just as much the second time around as I did the first time. But this go around I listened on audio. Sophie Eastlake does a good job of bringing Ms. Reus’ characters to life. My only complaint is that at time the male voice sound a little stuffy. But other than that, I enjoyed the non-stop action of this story.

Original review: Eight years is a long time to stay away from the one you love. But that is what Cade O’Reilly did and he had his reasons. But when Maira’s name come acrossed the board as needing protection he know that he was the only one that could do it. He will do anything for Maira, except let her go this time. This time he plans to stay, but will Maira want him to after she learns of his secrets?

Bound to Danger is the second book in Katie Reus’ news Deadly Ops series. Bound to Danger is every bit as good as Targeted (bk 1). From page one there is not stop action. And even in the middle of a life and death situation Katie is able to let our hero & heroine have a great love story.

Kelly reviews Hunter Reborn by Katie Reus

hunter rebornTITLE: Hunter Reborn
SERIES #: Moon Shifter #5
CHARACTERS: Aiden & Larissa
AUTHOR: Katie Reus
PUBLICATION DATE: February 3, 2015
ORDER LINKS:Amazon |B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Losing her was the hardest thing he’d ever endured…

Warrior shifter Aiden’s investigation of the trafficking of vampire blood leads to a startling discovery: the beautiful vampire bondmate he thought was dead. Decades ago, they’d defied their powerful families to be together, but then Larissa disappeared without a trace. When their mating link broke, it nearly destroyed Aiden. Now she’s back with no memory of where she’s been. Even more shattering—Larissa claims she has no idea who Aiden is.

Now she’s back…

It’s a race against time to bring down an operation more evil than his pack ever suspected, and Aiden finds himself working side by side with a mate who no longer trusts him—and she wants out. But he lost her once, and he won’t let her go again. Unfortunately, Larissa’s blood is the key to a powerful monster’s dangerous plan—and he’ll stop at nothing to destroy her, sparking off a war between the supernaturals and humans that no one will win.

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Another great story from Ms. Reus. There is a lot going on in this book so I will do my best to not give you any spoilers. While this is Aiden’s story, we get to see a lot of two other possible (okay one seems pretty for sure) couples which makes me so very excited about the next few books in this series. But back to Aiden’s story.
In the very beginning we learn a lot more about Aiden and why he is the way that he is. We learn about the level of grief that he has endured for years. As the story goes on we learn more about the who’s, the why’s and the what’s that lead Aiden down a very grief stricken road. But now that things changed Aiden will never let anyone hurt what is his again.
I loved Larissa. She is feisty and sweet. I really loved Aiden and Larissa’s first encounter. Even if it ended with both of them on the floor. 🙂 You will have to read to find out what I am talking about.
If you are a Moon Shifter fan you will love this book. If you are new to this series I would highly suggest that you start from the being of the series. There is an ongoing story line that flows from one book to the next.

Kelly reviews Deadly Fallout by Katie Reus

deadly falloutTITLE: Deadly Fallout
SERIES #: Red Stone Security #10
CHARACTERS: Sawyer McCabe & Zoe Hansen
AUTHOR: Katie Reus
PUBLICATION DATE: December 9, 2014
ORDER LINKS:Amazon| B&N 

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Zoe’s stalker has been murdered…

Dr. Zoe Hansen was forced to leave her beloved hospital job to escape a stalker. It worked—or so she thought. She’s terrified when he reappears in her life one night—and stunned when he turns up viciously murdered soon after. She’s arrested for the crime, but she quickly clears her name. Unfortunately, her problems are far from over. She’ll have to accept the protection of the one man she shouldn’t want.

…now she’s in more danger than ever before.

Former Navy SEAL Sawyer McCabe might not know the gorgeous Zoe as well as he wants to, but he knows all about trouble. So when she’s threatened, he steps in to help her regardless of the consequences and gets her out of town. But it’s not enough to escape a determined killer. As the danger closes in they have to trust each other if they want to stay alive. And Sawyer’s determined to do whatever it takes to keep Zoe safe and in his arms. Because Zoe is worth risking everything for.

REVIEW:
Another great Red Stone Security story from Ms. Reus. The last few books have alluded to the fact that Zoe has been keeping something from her family and friends. And what she has been keeping could have easily got her killed.

Zoe & Sawyer are so great together. Is it wrong that I loved that there was a not so pleasant past between the ultra calm Vincent and Sawyer. And that when that past is brought up Zoe doesn’t side with you you think she would. Also the threat of calling their mother. Classic.

I will say that I think I read this book way too fast because the story was over before I knew it. But it was a great fast read. I am ready for the next book in this series. If you are a Red Stone Security fan you will enjoy this book. If you are new to the series, while I think you can pick up any book in this series and be fine I would suggest starting from the being.

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
He’ll do anything to protect her….

Former Marine and newest Red Stone Security employee Alexander Blue is still adjusting to the civilian world after a decade spent at war, but when he sees someone in danger, nothing can take away that intrinsic need to protect. After stopping a would-be mugger, Blue finds himself being bandaged up by a sensual local artist in her Key West condo. He never expected to stay the night, even if it is on her couch. The mysterious Mina gets under his skin in a way he never thought possible. When it becomes clear that her mugging wasn’t random and she’s being targeted by deadly men, Blue has no problem stepping into the role of protector.

But she doesn’t want to be saved

Tired of being coddled and treated like a child, Mina has tried to distance herself from her family. When danger finds her, she’s forced to turn to the sexy stranger who she feels a strong, unexpected connection with. In him she sees glimmers of herself; a little broken, withdrawn and wary of the world. Soon she learns that the biggest threat might not be from the men trying to kidnap her, but from the quiet warrior who poses an immediate risk to her heart.

Sinful Seduction appears in Sinful Seduction anthology

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts This was my second time reading this book. Well I read the first time and then listened on audio. Here was my original thoughts after my first read.
I would say breaking up an attempted mugging is not the best way to meet a woman, but leave it up to Alexander Blue to do just that. Being in the right place at the right time not only let him save Mina from being mugged, kidnapped or worse, but also gave Blue a chance met a woman that just possible could be it for him. That is if she will let him get close.
Another great Red Stone Security story. My only issue is that I read this story so fast. I wanted more of Blue!! I just loved him and Mina! I hope to get a glimpse of them in a future Red Stone Security story.
If you are a fan of this series you will want to make sure to add this book to your must read list. If you are new to this series not worries this book can easily be read as a stand alone.

My opinion has not changed. I loved this book. I loved Blue even more. And Mina that girl has guts and a wicked right arm. Loved it!! I was very honored to get an audio copy of this book to review. Sophie Eastlake does a great job again in this series. I just love it when a narrator brings the characters to life.

AUTHOR: Katie Reus
NARRATOR: Sophia Eastlake
RUN TIME: 4 Hours & 8 Minutes
AUDIO PUBLICATION DATE: October 29, 2014
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N | Audible

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Seven years ago she broke his heart…

Leaving Vincent was the hardest thing Jordan Alvarado ever had to do, but she had no choice. Now she’s back and looking for forgiveness so she can move on with her life. She doesn’t expect the smoldering attraction between them to still be there, burning hotter than ever. After the way she hurt him she knows things will never be the same again and that in the end, she’s the one who will get her heart broken when he walks away.

He’s not letting her go again…

Former SEAL Vincent Hansen never got over Jordan and the way she up and left him without a trace. After she suddenly reappears and explains what happened, he’s even more furious. He doesn’t know what he wants from her, but when she’s targeted in a series of potentially deadly attacks, he realizes he can’t give her up again. He won’t. Now he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe and convince her that she was always meant to be his.

REVIEW:
This was my second time reading this book and I had the great pleasure of listening to Protecting His Witness on audio.

I will say that I enjoyed this book just as much the second time as I did the first time.I enjoyed Vincent & Jordan’s story. They both were so in love with each other. But when Jordan disappeared over night Vincent was left with a broken heart and no answers. When Jordan reappears out of nowhere Vincent has a hard time keeping his feelings in check. He can’t decide if he is mad and wants to push Jordan away or grab her and hold her tight so she can never leave again.

Sophia does a pretty good job narrating this book. I think that she told the story very well and she did great justice to Jordan’s voice. But when it came to Vincent’s voice it was a little off to me. I can’t quite put finger on it but there was just a little something off. It didn’t take away from the story, but was just something off.

I look forward to more of Katie’s Red Stone stories. I will be watching for them on audio too.

SERIES #: The Serafina: Sin City #4
CHARACTERS: Roman MacNeil & Taylor
AUTHOR: Katie Reus
PUBLICATION DATE: October 21, 2014
ORDER LINKS: Amazon| B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A cold-blooded killer wants her dead.

After her friend is murdered right before her eyes, Taylor uses her wits to escape with just a bullet wound, thankful to be alive. But now the killer isn’t the only one after her—the cops are, too, and Taylor’s not sure she can trust them—or anybody else in her life in California. She decides to turn to her old friend in Vegas, racing there with just the clothes on her back, only to arrive and realize he’s off on his honeymoon. Desperate, she breaks in and crashes.

A former Marine is determined to protect her.

When former Marine Roman MacNeil finds a gorgeous stranger unconscious and bleeding in his friend’s shower, his first thought is to help her…until she tries to knock him out with a vodka bottle. Lucky for Taylor, Roman isn’t a man who goes down easily. When he realizes the trouble she’s in, he’s determined to protect her—whatever it takes. As they’re thrust into a deadly situation they discover an attraction they never bargained for. But a determined killer is closing in, and time may be running out.

REVIEW:
Nothing can ruin your day faster than someone shooting at you.
Maybe not, because seeing your best friend killed in front of your eyes is worst.

Taylor is one tough chick who knows has mad skills with a computer and has some killer shoes!!!. Roman is pretty darn awesome. I love how they meet, even if it was under horrible circumstances. These two were great to read about.

Another great Serafina: Sin City story from Ms. Reus. This was a really quick read for me. As with all shorter stories I wanted the story to go on longer. I wanted more of Roman and Taylor, but we can’t always get what we want right? I hope to see them both in upcoming Sin City books.

Kelly reviews Running From The Past by Katie Reus

running from the pastTITLE: Running From the Past
CHARACTERS: Caleb Ryder & Emma Garcia
AUTHOR: Katie Reus
PUBLICATION DATE: Re-issue October 3, 2014
ORDER LINKS: Amazon| B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A woman on the run.

Miami socialite Emma Garcia has been running from who she is her entire life. When she witnesses a horrific crime, she goes on the run. In desperation, she answers an ad for a chef on a remote horse farm in the middle of nowhere, Florida. It seems like the perfect plan until she figures out what to do with her secrets. The only thing she doesn’t count on is being attracted to the rugged cowboy who owns the place. Whenever he comes around the only thing she can focus on is his seductive voice and sinful body.

And her past is about to catch up with her.

Former Marine Caleb Ryder hires Emma even though he knows she’s lying about her identity. He desperately needs the help, but he also doesn’t have the heart to turn away a woman so obviously in need. After being burned by a woman once, he doesn’t let that deter his mission to claim Emma’s body and heart. Now that she’s his, he’ll face any threat to protect her, no matter how deadly.

REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts This was a very very quick read. So I would give too much away.
But Emma is running from her life. I life that has been less than perfect. Finding herself on a ranch was the last thing she had ever seen herself doing. But it might just be the best place to be.
Caleb is not looking for anything other than a cook. But what he finds is a woman who could change everything in his life. Whether that is for the good or bad, I guess you will have to read to find out.
I really enjoyed this re-release of Katie Reus’ Running from the Past. If you like romance suspense I would give this quick read a go.

He’ll do what it takes to save her life—and prove to her she belongs in his.

Red Stone Security Series, #9
Author Note: Under His Protection is the ninth book in the Red Stone Security series but can be read completely as a stand-alone

REVIEW:
Gosh, I don’t want to give much away. Reading the blurb gives you a good idea of what will happen so I won’t recap. I will say that this was a super quick read. But honestly the story never felt rushed or that it was lacking in any way. I loved the story. I loved the tension between Ivan & Julieta. I guess my only complain would be that I wanted more of these two. I want to know how the future goes for them. I hope that Ms. Reus will have them pop up in a future Red Stone Security story.

If you are a fan of Ms. Reus’ Red Stone Security series you will love Ivan & Julieta’s story. If you are new to this series never fear Under His Protection can easily be read as a stand alone. Make sure to add this to your I must read list.

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Fierce and sexy, former Marine Travis Sanchez has always held himself back from the rest of the world, using his tattoos and piercings as armor.

Warning: features a heroine determined to fight for those she cares about, a protective hero with a very interesting piercing, and some holiday magic.

REVIEW:
This was a really quick read only about 87 pages. Since this was a novella I won’t give too much away but Travis & Noel are about to stumble into a situation that would put strain any relationship let alone a new relationship. I loved Travis and Noel. These two were a fun couple to read about.

If you have loved any of Katie’s other Red Stone Security stories you will love Miami, Mistletoe & Murder.

SERIES #: Darkness #3
CHARACTERS: Drake & Victoria
AUTHOR: Katie Reus
PUBLICATION DATE: July 27, 2014
ORDER LINKS: Amazon| B&N (coming soon)| ARe

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
He spent more than a thousand years imprisoned in hell…

Drake is an ancient dragon shifter, one of the most powerful beings in existence, but a millennium trapped in utter darkness has left him ill-equipped for modern society. If it wasn’t for Victoria, the sweet female brave enough to befriend him, he’d be lost. She’s smart and gorgeous and everything he never dared dream of during his years of agonizing loneliness. He may not have anything to offer her, but one thing he knows for sure: he’d die to keep her safe.

Only to fall into the heaven of her touch.

Victoria is a wolf shifter, healer of the Stavros pack. She’s seen a lot, but she’s never met anybody quite like Drake, the fiery, fascinating shifter who can blaze through the skies unseen by mere mortals. He’s lost, dangerous, and the last male she should fall in love with, but the more time she spends helping him navigate modern life, the deeper—and hotter—their connection becomes. She’s thrilled when they finally locate his family, but reuniting with his people plunges them both into unimaginable danger. It’s a race against the clock trying to figure out who wants them dead and who they can trust, especially when the threat is closer than they ever imagined

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Taste of Darkness picks up a few months after the end of Darkness Awakened (bk1). Drake is out of Hell and trying to figure out his place in the world. He may not have much in the way of money or experience in this new world, but one thing Drake does know is that he will do everything to be the man that Victoria needs. But as Drake tries to navigate this new world the past comes back to bite him in the butt
This was a great follow up to Darkness Awakened. I knew from the minute the Drake blasted on to the pages that he would be a very important person in this world. And I was right. Drake’s reappearance into the world really up roots the world. And brings in a whole bunch of new characters that I can’t wait to read about. Drake and Victoria are just to cute together. I loved the Drake is trying so hard to be who he thinks Victoria wants. Yet Victoria keeps telling him that all she wants is Drake, just the way he is. I hope that Ms. Reus will revisit these two soon.

ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N | Audible

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
I’m ready to move on. Please don’t search for me. Please just let me go.
~Ellie

The note on the kitchen table shatters Jay Wentworth’s world into bits. Ellie is his lover, his soulmate, his best friend…she’s the woman who stood by him through the aftermath of a horrible explosion, the woman he’s planning to propose to. He’d do anything for her…except let her go. With his fierce protectiveness kicked into overdrive, he teams up with Ellie’s Hotel Serafina boss, billionaire Wyatt Christiansen, to find her. Ellie is family at the casino and they take care of their own.

Ellie is devastated when her secret past finally catches up with her. Stupid to think she could bury the mistakes of her youth and find happiness with a good man. Leaving Jay rips her heart to shreds, but it’s the only way she can protect him from the dangerous people she once ran with. And deep down, she fears he’ll never be able to forgive her for hiding her past from him.

The closer Jay gets to the truth about Ellie, the deeper he plunges into danger. He’ll move heaven and earth to save her, but if she can’t trust in Jay’s love it might be too late for both of them.

REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts What is one to do when the wolves coming knocking on your door? If you are Ellie, you run. You run and leave everyone you care about behind. But that was the wrong move. Because Jay is not going to let Ellie run.

Another great story from Katie. Sensual Surrender has a quick start and just keeps going until the very end. Jay and Ellie are a great couple. Although I wish that Ellie would have confided in Jay before she ran. But that was part of what made this story so good.

I had the pleasure of reading this book before I received this audio version. I am glad to say that I did. While I loved the story of Jay and Ellie, I didn’t not like this audio version of the story.

It was not the story itself by any means. The story that Katie wrote was still just as good. I just did not care for Holly Fielding as a narrator. Ryan Hudson again did an amazing job! But with Ms. Feilding her reading style was too slow and withdrawn for me. It. Felt. Like. She. Was. Read. Each. Word. As. It’s. Own. Sentence. My other issue was the voices of the character. They just didn’t fit the voice that I had in my head.

I am sorry to say that I will not listen to any books narrated by Ms. Fielding in the future.
