TITLE: Wolf Troubles
SERIES #: SWAT #2
CHARACTERS: Xander Riggs & Khaki Blake
AUTHOR: Paige Taylor
PUBLICATION DATE: August 4, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
He’s in trouble with a capital T…
There’s never been a female on the Dallas SWAT team and Senior Corporal Xander Riggs prefers it that way. The elite pack of alpha male wolfshifters is no place for a woman. But Khaki Blake is no ordinary woman.
When Khaki walks through the door attractive as hell and smelling like heaven, Xander doesn’t know what the heck to do. Worse, she’s put under his command and Xander’s protective instincts go on high alert. When things start heating up both on and off the clock, it’s almost impossible to keep their heads in the game and their hands off each other.
REVIEW:
3.5 Hearts I was so excited for Xander’s book. He is all tall, dark, stubborn and dreamy. But I found Wolf Troubles to be a little slow. I enjoyed the tension, lust and relationship that Khaki has with Xander. She is the perfect match for him. But for me this book focus a little too much on Khaki’s training and then throwing her for a better word to the wolves on her first mission. I did like Khaki, but there was just a small disconnect for me.
All and all it was a good book and I am happy I read. I am looking forward to the next SWAT book.

TITLE: The Hotter you Burn
SERIES #: The Original Heartbreaker Series
CHARACTERS: Beck Ockley & Harlow Glass
AUTHOR: Gena Showalter
PUBLICATION DATE: July 28, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter is back with a sizzling Original Heartbreakers story featuring a troubled playboy and the woman he can’t resist…
Beck Ockley is ruthless in the boardroom…and the bedroom. He’s never been with the same woman twice, and vows he never will. With a past as twisted as his, meaningless sex keeps the demons at bay. His motto: One and done. No harm, no foul.
Harlow Glass is the most hated girl in town. The beautiful artist is penniless, jobless and homeless. When she sneaks into Beck’s home—her ancestral estate—for food, she’s shocked by his early return…and her immediate, sizzling and intense attraction to him.
For the first time in Beck’s life, he can’t get a woman out of his mind. All too soon, friendship blooms into obsession and he’ll have to break her heart…or surrender his own.
REVIEW:
Beck Ockley is the love’em and leave’em type. He has never wanted a relationship and has seemed to be happy with his life. Beck could never imagine how his life was about to change when he finds intruder steals his blueberry pie.
Harlow Glass has been surviving by the skin of her teeth, but the temptation of freshly baked pie is too much to handle. Now she just needs to get into her house and out without anyone seeing her.
Beck, it is so hard to not like him. Even if he is a he-slut. I was rooting for him to pull his head out of his butt and get it together. Of course it can’t be that easy right? Nope. Beck and Harlow have to go round and round and round. They both are stubborn and want the same thing. But neither know how to go about it.
As always Ms. Showalter writes as story that tugs at our heartstrings, because anyone who has been in a relationship can understand where both Beck and Harlow are coming from. I loved every part of Beck and Harlow’s story. But while I love Beck and Harlow, I can’t wait for West’s story!!

SERIES #: Fool’s Gold
CHARACTERS: Del Mitchell & Maya Farlow
AUTHOR: Susan Mallery
PUBLICATION DATE: July 28, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Meet the Mitchell brothers of Fool’s Gold, California—five gorgeous men who’ve left a trail of broken hearts in their wake…
Maya Farlow learned the hard way to depend only on herself, so when she fell too deeply for the bad-boy charms of Del Mitchell, she did the only thing she could—she ran. Stunned, Del left Fool’s Gold to make his name and fortune in extreme sports.
Now ten years later, Maya’s been hired to promote her hometown’s new slogan, The Destination for Romance. The celebrity spokesman is none other than Del, the man she dumped but never forgot. Awkward!
Although Del’s not the type to hold a grudge, he’s determined to avoid falling a second time for the woman who broke his heart. He’s a daredevil, not an idiot. Trouble is, in all his adventures, he never found a rush as exhilarating as Maya’s kiss. Maybe risking his heart will prove to be the biggest thrill of all
KELLY’S REVIEW:
4 Hearts Maya Farlow is back in Fool’s Gold. She has finally found a place that she wants put down roots. Maya finally has found her place in a family. The only thing that is missing is the love of her life. And unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) for Maya, the love of her young life just walked through her door.
Del Mitchell, has not been home in ages. When he does come home it is for a short time, there are too many memories for him in Fool’s Gold. The last person he ever thought he would be working with again is Maya Farlow.
Del and Maya were so much fun to read. They both are so stubborn it is not funny, okay it is funny. There is so much banter back and forth. It is always so much to read about a second chance love story. I do hope to see more about Del and Maya in future books. 🙂
Another great trip to Fool’s Gold. And I am so looking forward to the rest of the Mitchell brother’s stories. I am already looking forward to the youngest Mitchell brothers!!!! I want know more!!!
KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts Fool’s Gold is my favorite summer vacation spot and I look forward to my visits every year and this summer was no exception.
This is a story about second chances. Maya broke Del’s heart in a way he never really got over but he did move on. Maya on the other hand really didn’t. Del has always been her first love and her biggest regret after letting him go out of fear. But here they are again working together on a campaign for Fool’s Gold tourism. And if you know anything about Fool’s Gold you just know Mayor Marsha had a hand in this set up.
Maya and Del just click from chapter one. Maybe because we know there is a history and certainly because Mallery can spin a tale like no other. There is happiness, sweetness, sadness and everything between but mostly there is love. Love for Maya and Del as well as for the people that surround them.
I think I say this in every review of a Susan Mallery book You can read this as a stand alone but if you haven’t read the Fool’s Gold series I can’t understand why not. Mallery is the perfect storyteller. If you are a fan of contemporary small town romance then Mallery should be at the top of your must buy list.
I’ve already booked my vacation for next summer to Fool’s Gold and I can’t wait!

TITLE: Over the Top
SERIES #: Maverick Montana #4
CHARACTERS: Hawk Rain & Dawn Freeze
AUTHOR: Rebecca Zanetti
PUBLICATION DATE: July 21, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Dawn Freeze had a huge crush on Hawk Rain for years, and the entire town knows it. It’s understandable―the man is total hotness. That tall, lean body. Intense dark eyes. And always one foot out the door. Now he’s on leave for exactly one week. And this time, he’s made it crystal clear that he only wants one thing. Her.
Hawk’s been fighting his attraction to Dawn for as long as he can remember. She’s his best friend’s little sister, and that means hands-off. Except now she’s all grown up, and her sweet sexiness is exactly what he craves. But just as Hawk allows himself one mindblowingly intense night with Dawn, he learns that everyone he loves is in danger. Especially her.
And the only way to protect Dawn is to push her away.
KELLY’S REVIEW:
4.5 Heart FINALLY!!!! Good golly I feel like I have waited forever for Hawk and Dawn’s book. 🙂 Okay, maybe not FOREVER. But since Against the Grain (bk 1) came out back in 2013. I have been waiting. And Over the Top is was well worth the wait.
In Over the Top we finally get to see into Hawk’s mind. We get to find out what makes him tick, how he views his place in the world and what his darkest fears are. We also get to see the lenght he will go too to protect the ones he loves.
Dawn, we all know that Dawn is a tough cookie. She has to be with three older brothers. But when it comes to Hawk, well it is Hawk the man that she has loved forever. Hawk has forever been out of her reach, but that never stops her for trying to reach for him every chance she gets.
I have loved Hawk and Dawn from book one as I said above. I was so happy to finally read this book. Hawk and Dawn are a force of nature that fights against each other but when they combine they are the perfect storm. They complete each other in every way that is possible. There is so much I wish I could tell you but I don’t want to spoil the book. Just know that there are a lot of touching and slightly painful family moments in Over the Top. Jake had the best line ever in this book. You will know it when you get to it :). The future looks bright. And I am hoping that there are a few more stories up Ms. Zanetti’s sleeve, because I really want to know more about Reece and Adam.
Until next time Maverick, Montana…..
KIMBERLY’S REVIEW:
5 Hearts I have waited and waited for Dawn and Hawk’s story. I mean we have seen this love for the last three books and it is time for them to be together. Yea!
Hawk is the strong silent type. But he has been in love with Dawn for so long he can’t remember not being in love with her. And Dawn feels the same about Hawk but when she gave him a shot (in book #3) Hawk turned her down claiming they needed to be “just friends”… Don’t you hate when that happens? Well now Hawk is back home and the only thing he wants is Dawn in his bed but the problem is that puts her in danger. And that he just can not deal with.
I just LOVED this story! Maybe it was the waiting and feeling the build up of this couple since book 1 or maybe it really was the story and how Rebecca wrote it. Or maybe it was both. But no matter what I loved this story! The lines from The Lady Elks that begins each chapter are adorable! I enjoyed Mrs. Poppins and Mrs. Hudson. What cute old biddies they are! And the sex toy scene is priceless.
I have loved all the Lodge-Freeze boys and Hawk, who while not an official Lodge-Freeze he might as well be. But now I wonder who is next? Reese? Adam? While I know neither of them belong to the family the series is Maverick Montana not the family name so I am hoping Rebecca brings some more cowboys into our lives. But in the mean time Hawk has my heart… Dawn just has to stand in line.

TITLE: The Coincidence of Coconut Cake
CHARACTERS: Al Waters & Elizabeth “Lou” Johnson
AUTHOR: Amy E. Reichert
PUBLICATION DATE: July 21, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
YOU’VE GOT MAIL meets HOW TO EAT A CUPCAKE in this delightful novel about a talented chef and the food critic who brings down her restaurant—whose chance meeting turns into a delectable romance of mistaken identities.
In downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Lou works tirelessly to build her beloved yet struggling French restaurant, Luella’s, into a success. She cheerfully balances her demanding business and even more demanding fiancé…until the morning she discovers him in the buff—with an intern.
Witty yet gruff British transplant Al is keeping himself employed and entertained by writing scathing reviews of local restaurants in the Milwaukee newspaper under a pseudonym. When an anonymous tip sends him to Luella’s, little does he know he’s arrived on the worst day of the chef’s life. The review practically writes itself: underdone fish, scorched sauce, distracted service—he unleashes his worst.
The day that Al’s mean-spirited review of Luella’s runs, the two cross paths in a pub: Lou drowning her sorrows, and Al celebrating his latest publication. As they chat, Al playfully challenges Lou to show him the best of Milwaukee and she’s game—but only if they never discuss work, which Al readily agrees to. As they explore the city’s local delicacies and their mutual attraction, Lou’s restaurant faces closure, while Al’s column gains popularity. It’s only a matter of time before the two fall in love…but when the truth comes out, can Lou overlook the past to chase her future?
Set in the lovely, quirky heart of Wisconsin, THE COINCIDENCE OF COCONUT CAKE is a charming love story of misunderstandings, mistaken identity, and the power of food to bring two people together.
KELLY’S REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts The Coincidence of Coconut Cake is Amy E. Reichert’s debut novel. And it was a delightful book!!! While the storyline was a tad bit predictable, the characters and the journey were still a lot of fun to read. Oh and the coconut cake. Oh man!! I love me some coconut cake I am going to have to make this cake. Thank you Amy for including the recipe. Okay back to the review.
I really enjoyed Lou. She made me want to be her friend. I felt so much for everything that she goes through in this story. Lou may have thought she knew what she wanted but Fate always seems to have other plans.
Al, oh man!!! Let me just say that this Brit has it going on. He is a bit of a, how do I want to put this, stick in the mud in the beginning I fell in love with his stuffy, khaki wearing, grumpy, I can’t wait to leave this place, pain in everyone’s back side.
I really enjoyed this story. If you are looking for a fun, light and quick read that will leave you craving coconut cake. Or if you are looking for a new author to check out. I would suggest giving Ms. Reichert’s a try.
Can’t wait to see what she has next for us.

TITLE: Caged Magic
SERIES #: Wing Slayer Hunters #5
CHARACTERS: Lincoln Dillinger & Risa Faden
AUTHOR: Jennifer Lyon
PUBLICATION DATE: July 20, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Risa Faden is a witch whose ultra-powerful shield magic is slowly breaking her mind. But when her beloved goddaughter is snatched by a demon, she’ll risk anything to rescue the baby—including lying to the handsome, intriguing stranger who has the power to help her keep her sanity, save the child…and steal her heart.
Linc Dillinger is a Wing Slayer Hunter whose sexy, rich, bad-boy charm hides a treacherous betrayal that left him emotionally scarred. As a result he risks his life to protect innocents, but is incapable of love—until he meets a beautiful witch who can save his cursed soul. Risa’s fierce courage and loyalty reaches past his barriers and he begins to believe she has the magic to free his caged heart.
But Risa’s lie explodes into dark danger that forces Linc into a hellish high-stakes gamble: He must either win the witch he loves and her godchild…or endure a loss that will destroy them all.
REVIEW:
OH how I have waited for this book!!!! I am so glad that Jennifer was able to find the time to write Linc’s book. It was great to get back into the world of the Wing Slayer Hunters.
In Caged Magic we learn a whole lot more about Linc and his past. I past that is beyond heartbreaking, yet it made him be a very strong person. We learn more about his Falcon and he is pretty darn amazing. We also get to see a side of Linc I was not sure we would ever see.
Risa had a great life until her mother died, then everything went to hell. Risa is one tough cookie. She has dealt with so much in her past that it is amazing she has survived. But when Kendall’s life is on the line she will do everything to save the child.
Loved Linc & Risa together. Loved their battle to trust and love. Really liked the depth that Jennifer took us to with Ram and Eli. And SUPER excited to know that their stories are coming soon.
To my fellow Wing Slayer Hunters: hang on this is a bumpy ride!!!!!
To my newbies: you really need to start with book one Blood Magic. There is a lot of history that builds up to this book. And hey there are only 4 books in front of this one. Easy to get catch up!!!
Until we meet again Wing Slayers Hunters!!! Oh and Key??? You better show up more in the next book. Miss you and your dragon.

TITLE: Swerve

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
It’s high summer in the Mojave Desert, and Kristine Rush and her fiancé, Daniel, are en route from Las Vegas to Lake Arrowhead, California, for the July Fourth holiday weekend. But when Daniel is abducted from a desolate rest stop, Kristine is forced to choose: return home unharmed, but never to see her fiancé again, or plunge forward into the searing desert to find him…where a killer lies in wait
REVIEW:
3.75 Hearts WOW!!! This was one messed up book. Messed up in the fact that the killer is one twisted freaking crazy person. Messed up that Kristine has to go through so much hell because of one sick and twisted person. Messed up that I don’t think I will ever stop at a freeway rest stop ever again. EVER!!!! Did I say ever? Because I mean NEVER EVER EVER again!!!!
This was a good book that keeping you on the edge of your seat. I did figure out what was happening early on but the why’s behind it gave me chills. I often wonder what goes on in the mind of a suspense novelist. Then I think “Might be better off not knowing”.
In short: I liked the book. Glad I read it. Would I recommend to everyone. No, not everyone. This book is twisted, gnarled and millions times messed up that will leave you with night terrors, but……… If you are into that then you would love Swerve. If you are into fun loving, unicorns and rainbows, you might want to skip this book. UNLESS you are willing to go out of your comfort zone. Because Swerve will take you out of your comfort zone take you into WTF zone and leave you in how will I ever recover from this zone.
Happy reading *insert evil laugh* Mwahahahaha.

TITLE: Hell or High Water
SERIES #: Deep Six #1
CHARACTERS: Leo “LT” Anderson & Olivia Mortier
AUTHOR: Julie Ann Walker
PUBLICATION DATE: July 7, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
In a world on the brink…
Six men. One sunken Spanish galleon. Millions in gold and silver coins lying on the ocean floor. And a past that refuses to let the guys of Deep Six Salvage forget the Navy SEAL motto: the only easy day was yesterday…
There’s more than one kind of treasure…
The nation’s security has always been CIA agent Olivia Mortier’s top priority. But a mission-gone-wrong has begun to make her wonder if there’s more to life than risking hers.
And more than one secret at the bottom of the sea…
Only two things could make Leo Anderson abandon his hunt for the legendary lost ship, La Santa Christina, and return to the world of weapons and warfare he swore to leave behind: a capsule of enriched uranium, lost on the ocean floor, and a plea for assistance from the one woman he can’t seem to forget.
REVIEW:
WOW!!! When Julie Ann wants to start a new series she does it in style. Hell or High Water is book one in the Deep Six series and we get to me Leo “The Lion” Anderson and his band of merry men. They are all ex-Navy SEALs. All trying to put a real life together after a promise to a fallen comrade. But of course things can’t so smoothly. Oh no…. smooth would be to easy.
I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed learning about all the guys a little. Their backstory is heartbreaking and I will admit I shed a few tears. The adventure kept me turning the pages. The tension between Leo & Olivia was a perfect balance to tug and pull. It was also great to get a little cameo from one of Ms. Walker’s Black Knight Inc. characters 🙂
I can’t wait to see what is next for this six guys. The future is looking pretty bright even if they have to go deep to find it.

TITLE: SEAL Wolf Hunting
SERIES #: Heart of the Wolf #16
CHARACTERS: Paul Cunningham & Lori Greypaw
AUTHOR: Terry Spears
PUBLICATION DATE: July 7, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Paul Cunningham is one of the only bachelors left on the SEAL wolf team, and he’s less than thrilled to hear he’s been volunteered for a local charity bachelor auction.
Lori Greypaw suspected that her grandmother would use the auction as an opportunity to fix her up. So she’s not surprised when she “buys” Paul to help Lori renovate her mountain cabin for a week. Lori’s had a crush on the sexy SEAL wolf for years, but he proves to be handy with more than a hammer when two fugitives come knocking and he’ll do anything to protect the woman he’s falling for.
REVIEW:
I enjoyed SEAL Wolf Hunting. But at time the book was a little slow to me. There was not a ton of action in this book. It seemed like this was more of a coming home second chance at life book. Paul Cunningham loves being a SEAL, but he loves his family more. He has always known at some point in time he was going to have to step in to the role as Alpha, but he has not been ready. I liked Lori a lot in this book. She can kick some serious butt when needed and knows when she is in over her head. I liked Paul & Lori together. They make a great team and a great Alpha couple.
I am hoping that the next book in the series is Allen’s and we get to stay with the Cummingham pack a little longer so we can see how everyone is doing.
Until next time SEAL Wolfs… Until next time.

TITLE: Second Chance Summer
SERIES #: Cider Ridge #1

AUTHOR: Jill Shalvis
PUBLICATION DATE: June 30, 2015
ORDER LINKS:Amazon| B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
RESCUE ME
Cedar Ridge, Colorado, is famous for crisp mountain air, clear blue skies, and pine-scented breezes. And it’s the last place Lily Danville wants to be. But she needs a job, and there’s an opening at the hottest resort in her hometown. What has her concerned is the other hot property in Cedar Ridge: Aidan Kincaid-firefighter, rescue worker, and heartbreaker. She never could resist that devastating smile . . .
The Kincaid brothers are as rough and rugged as the Rocky Mountains they call home. Aidan has always done things his own way, by his own rules. And never has he regretted anything more than letting Lily walk out of his life ten years ago. If anyone has ever been in need of rescuing, she has. What she needs more than anything are long hikes, slow dances, and sizzling kisses. But that can only happen if he can get her to give Cedar Ridge-and this bad boy-a second chance .
REVIEW:
Cider Ridge is the setting for Ms. Shalvis’ new series.We get introduced to the Kincaid family and their struggles to keep the family business afloat. In Second Chance Summer we focus on Aidan the second oldest of the Kincaid kids. There is nothing more important than family to Aidan. Except maybe the girl that broke his heart who just happens to be back in town. As we read we learn why family is so important and why some people are not. We also learn a lot about what Aidan is willing to do for love.
Lily is only back in town because she has not choice. If she had it her way she would have never stepped foot in this town again. But while there may be too many bad memories, Lily is about to find out that facing the past is the key to healing and having a bright future.
Loved it!! I love that we have a new series from Ms. Shalvis. I always love reading her books and getting engrossed into the world she has created. Loved Aidan. Everyone needs someone like Aidan in their life. Someone they know will drop everything for them and run to their rescue, even when they don’t think they need to be rescued.
Lily, she is was smart tough cookie that finally learns that it is okay to be rescued. I really liked the struggle that Lily went through in this book. I think that by the end she is a force to be reckoned with and the Kincaid kids need to watch out.
If you have read any of the Jill’s books in the past you will love this book too. She has all the drama, humor, witty characters, the is it time to grab a tissue and very yummy smexy time that you will find in all Jill’s books. If you have not read Jill yet, please refer to the previous sentence about “the drama, humor, witty characters, the is it time to grab a tissue and very yummy smexy time”. So in short: add this book to your read list!!!

TITLE: Commanded
SERIES #: Club Sin #6
CHARACTERS: Sawyer Quinn & Chloe Nash
AUTHOR: Stacey Kennedy
PUBLICATION DATE: July 7, 2015
ORDER LINKS: Amazon | B&N
BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A dedicated cop, Sawyer Quinn blows off steam by immersing himself in his role as a Master at the hottest club in Las Vegas. But when Sawyer goes after the perp who brutally beat his sister, he teams up with Chloe Nash, a sexy private investigator who awakens a sweet new need: to keep her to himself, away from the dungeon of Club Sin. Chloe is beautiful, smart, and too innocent for the BDSM lifestyle. Sawyer’s never wanted a woman like this before. Is her love worth swearing off the one thing that keeps him sane?
There’s something different about Sawyer: a commanding strength that pulls Chloe into a vortex of heady desire. But when she learns about his double life as a Dom, she’s shocked—and afraid she could never complete him. Then he saves her life, and just like that, Chloe knows she will be able to give him anything he desires. She is his—wherever and however he wants to take her.
REVIEW:
Commanded opens with a major shock to the Quinn family. Sawyer’s little sister is attacked. But they can’t track down the accused. Sawyer turns to his pal Porter and Porter’s best private investigator. Who also happens to hold the star role in many of Sawyer’s recent fantasies, to bad Ms. Chloe Nash has a boyfriend…..
Another great story from Stacey. Sawyer and Chloe make a great copy. Chloe is the yin to Sawyers yang. I felt like Commanded took the whole Club Sin series to a new level. Yes, there was BDSM. Yes, there was a lot of sexy time. But we got to see a side to Sawyer that if his heroine had been anyone else we would have never seen. If you are a fan of this series you will enjoy this read. It is a quick read (one sitting for me). But a very enjoyable quick read.
