Book Review - Hot Shot (Hostile Operations Team #5) by Lynn Raye Harris

Image
ABOUT THE BOOK Cool under pressure... Until now. Hostile Operations Team sniper Jack "Hawk" Hunter is cool, methodical, and utterly lethal. Nothing rattles Jack's calm. But that was before he learned he fathered a child three years ago--a child who has just been kidnapped.  Gina Domenico is a superstar, a pop sensation with a string of hit records. But deep inside, she's still the lonely girl she's always been. When Jack saved her from an arms dealer, they spent three unforgettable days together waiting for rescue--and Gina fell hard for the sexy soldier before he walked away forever. But now she needs his help and she'll do anything to get it. Though Jack can never forgive Gina for keeping his child from him, he'll do everything in his power--and HOT's--to bring their son home safely. Nothing is what it seems, however, and their fates hang in the balance as someone else pulls the strings...and brings them ever closer to an explosive confrontati...

Review - The Whisky Laird’s Bed by Donna MacMeans

ABOUT THE BOOK Lady of temperance, laird of temptation... Claire Starke has no illusions about her future. As her father repeatedly reminded her, her looks would never win a husband, and her poverty makes her an even less suitable wife. Luckily, her comrades at the Rake Patrol have given her joy and comfort—enough to quell the dull ache for a family of her own. So, when fellow member Faith runs off to the Highlands, investigating a whisky distiller advertising for an English wife, Claire sees no choice but to save her friend from this intemperate and lustful man. But she didn’t expect the Highland laird to be so intriguing, or to begin questioning her own restraint… Still reeling from the distillery accident which left him scarred and shaken, Cameron MacPherson has no plans to marry, even if his mother is determined to tie him to one of the British milquetoasts parading through his castle. But when Claire bursts upon the scene, hurling accusations about alcohol and rui...

ABOUT THE BOOK Millionaire ad executive Landon Downey has a policy: no romantic relationships allowed. So when he's saddled with his six-year-old nephew for a week, he doesn't think twice about asking Kimber Reynolds to act as live-in nanny. What he doesn't expect is the undeniable attraction to the woman he hasn't seen since they were kids. And not only does she like him back-she suggests they work their way down a list of extracurricular activities in the bedroom. How can he resist? Kimber wants to prove once and for all that she can love 'em and leave 'em with the best of them. All she has to do is keep her sixteen-year crush on Landon out of the equation. No problem . . . until she realizes she may not be the only one whose heart has gotten completely tangled up in their no-strings agreement. REVIEW The relationship between Landon and Kimber is well paced, if not predictable.  Most of us do not read this genre for the surprise though, and...

Quick Book Review - The Millionaire's Secret by Susan Stevens and Jasmine Bowen

Image
ABOUT Their marriage was a sham to begin with. The 19 year old dancer who grew up in foster care, needed a green card to continue to dance in the country. He didn't believe in love, nor did he have any interest in a relationship. But when they fell into bed together, night after night, something about the innocent and beautiful dancer soul underneath her trashy attitude made him want to help her find her way.   A 10 year age difference and with an agreement that this would not turn into a relationship, he married her and she stayed. But now, 7 years later, having seen each other off and on, they find themselves at a cross roads. Do they sign divorce papers, and walk away, or is there something brewing underneath that is too real and too dangerous to ignore?   REVIEW Not your ordinary romance novel, this was a quick read, but the authors did a great job of creating developed characters in a short amount of space, as well as introduce other characters with enough de...
