Netgalley ARC Review - Assassin's Honor by Monica Burns!



BLURB:

A woman with visions of the past…

Archeologist Emma Zale sees the past when she touches ancient relics. It’s how she uncovered evidence of an ancient order of assassins—the Sicari. When a sinfully dark stranger shows up on her Chicago doorstep demanding an ancient artifact she doesn’t have, he drags her into a world where telekinesis and empaths are the norm. Now someone wants her dead, and her only hope of survival is an assassin who’s every bit as dangerous to her body as he is to her heart.

Bonded to an honorable assassin…

Ares DeLuca comes from an ancient Roman bloodline of telekinetic assassins. A Sicari, he’s honor bound to kill only in the name of justice. But when the woman he loved was murdered, Ares broke the Sicari code and used his sword for revenge. Love cost him dearly once before, and he’s not willing to pay the price again. At least not until hot, sweet, delectable Emma walked into his life. Not only does she hold the key to a valuable Sicari relic, she might just hold the key to his heart.

Their dangerous passion will redeem an…Assassin’s Honor


MY REVIEW:

Assassin's Honor is a combination of heart thumping action, and sizzling romance with a hero that can make you swoon and a feisty heroine that will have you wanting to give her a nice fist bump. This story was electrifying and fast paced with a great stroyline. I loved how quickly I got into it and loved the themes and elements of this paranormal romance.

This is a first book I have ever read by Monica Burns and after finishing it, I know it definitely won't be my last. Her writing is a wonder and full of action, suspense, crackling chemistry between the characters and a world that will leave you in awe and maybe a bit of trepidation. 

Assassin's Honor by Monica Burns gets a SIZZLING FOUR SHOOTING STARS! It crackles with life and is a brilliant read!

ARC Review - A Wolf's Contract (Black Hills Wolves #43) by TL Reeve!



BLURB:

A Contract gone wrong. 

Kru Hawthorne left home years ago. Unable to watch the abuse his sister suffered at the hands of Magnum and his cronies, Kru hit the road. Chased by the demons of his past, he drifts for years before making a home in the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas, Nevada. 



Gabby Salvador, sister to Craven Salvador, President of the Vipers motorcycle club, watched her brother take his last breath. When the devastatingly handsome Kru arrives moments later, she knows something isn't right. Sticking to the shadows, she follows him to Rapid City, South Dakota, and finds something she never expected. 



One text that changes everything. 

Kru and Gabby's lives collide through a text and an attempt on Gabby's life. Together they'll have to figure out who put the hit on Craven and why they want Gabby as well. But, with the full moon, Gabby will be faced with an even bigger decision. Trust the man who isn't what he claims to be and take the protection he offers, or hit the road and pray she's never found. 


MY REVIEW:

A Wolf's Contract is my new favorite book in TL Reeve's Black Hills Wolves series. The sexy assassin, Kru has that dangerous vibe that both frightens me and yet, attracted me to him. He is pure bad-ass but when it comes to Gabby, his need to protect and cherish her is breathtaking. And Gabby...my god, what a kick-ass heroine she turned out to be! I loved her from the moment I met her and together with Kru, we get that sizzle that I crave. 

This story has a slight dark undertone that is full of action and suspense. Combined with that sizzling romance and hotter than Hell sex, it left me in awe and eager for another taste! And of course I just LOOOOOVE how Miss Reeve has written her Paranormal Romances. They are an obsession I crave. I love how it blends with the romance. She creates a world that is magical, slightly dangerous, and full of life. 

A Wolf's Contract gets a DIE-HARD FIVE SHOOTING STARS! I loved the characters, the action, the romance....EVERYTHING! Kru is my new favorite Book Boyfriend. I HIGHLY recommend this series to paranormal romance readers looking for something fresh, edgy, and addicting. 


This book will be released by March 11th! Pre-order your copy today.

Netgalley ARC Review - Dangerous To Know by Dawn Ryder!



BLURB:



In this red-hot romance-the first in a Special Ops series-Dawn Ryder takes readers into a world of dangerous secrets and forbidden passion...

She's too good to be bad 

A bad-boy member of an elite Special Ops team, Mercer has never been assigned an undercover mission he couldn't complete. But when his latest job requires him to gain the trust-and get into the bed-of his newest target, the sexy, fiery colonel's daughter, he has a whole new challenge ahead of him. All evidence points to her being a traitor to the country he's sworn to protect, but the crackling desire between them is too strong a feeling to ignore...

He's too bad to resist 

Zoe has always kept her secrets close to the vest. The only woman in a decorated military family, she's been taught that to let someone close is to flirt with disaster. But when the dangerously handsome, alpha-strong Mercer comes blazing into her life full-speed, it's all Zoe can do to resist his wicked seduction. As danger circles closer, Zoe must decide if she can trust him to protect her-but there's no way he could be bad when he makes her feel this good...



MY REVIEW:

Want a book that sizzles and has lots of danger, action and hot, steamy sex? Then your in luck with Dangerous To Know by Dawn Ryder. This book had all that and more! I freaking LOVED LOVED LOVED Mercer! Undeniably sexy, with just the right amount of arrogance and add in his military side, and I was in LOVE! Zoe is a firecracker but super smart as well. The chemistry coming from these two crackled on every page. I couldn't help but to enjoy every word, every sentence, every paragraph, and every chapter in this story. OMG, add in the fact that this is a first book in a series, and I am officially HOOKED!

The characters are so well developed while the plot is edgy and sexy and the book written just the way I like it. This is one story I see being on a Best-Seller list! And all that nail-biting suspense and the super wicked sex, this book is one romance I will be rereading again and again. YUM!

Dangerous To Know gets a SIZZLING AND NAIL-BITING FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Readers will fall hard for the characters and the unforgettable romance. 

Netgalley ARC Review - Kidnapped by the Billionaire by Jackie Ashenden!



BLURB:

He kissed her the way he'd run her down, conquering her, taking her...

A priceless plan. An illicit attraction.
Seven years ago, billionaire-turned-bodyguard Elijah Hunt lost everything he had-his family, his future-and now he wants revenge. But when he decides to kidnap the daughter of the man who ruined his life, Elijah gets a lot more than he bargained for. Violet Fitzgerald is nothing like her corrupt wealthy father. In fact, she's so disarmingly independent-and irresistible-that she just might be dangerous...

And a love that's too good to be true.
Violet never thought she'd feel a connection to her captor. But there's something beneath Elijah's steel-bodied exterior that makes her want to know him more deeply...and surrender to his every demand. But once Elijah's erotic fantasies become a reality-and he and Violet develop a real romantic connection-he finds himself in a quandary: Is he still the one in control? Or has Violet imprisoned him-body and soul?


MY REVIEW:

So I have to admit, this book scared me a bit at first. The first few chapters remind me of a dark romance, and I almost didn't continue. Surprisingly, I am glad I did. And yes, it still has a twinge of dark romance which I normally dislike, this book only had a bit of it. Elijah is a very rough, betrayed, scary man, but luckily, after kidnapping Violet, he doesn't hurt her but starts to fall for her. There is a definite strong romance and danger and action to the story that is appealing. The characters are complex and the story is fast paced with lots of things going on. I actually ended up not just liking Kidnapped by the Billionaire, but loving it!

Its a great story with a good plot with terrific, almost, complicated characters. There is romance that could almost border on the dark side, but the caring and protectiveness that Elijah has for Violet will also melt readers. 

Kidnapped by the Billionaire by Jackie Ashenden deserves a SHOCKING FOUR SHOOTING STARS! It is a nail-biting, dangerous, action-packed romance with dark undertones. Perfect for readers that are looking for that crazy sensational adrenaline rush!

Review - Fashionably Hotter Than Hell by Robyn Peterman!




BLURB:

What does a Vampyre do when the woman he’s chased for two hundred years is still trying to get away? He plays dirty.
Welcome to my own personal Hell.
Where life is steamy and the sex is sizzling.
Damn it, I thought the chase was difficult…keeping the girl alive might prove to be my undoing. 



MY REVIEW:

Yet, another fantastic, foul, fun-filled story in Robyn Peterman's wildly outrageous Hot Damned Series! In Fashionably Hotter Than Hell, we get Heathcliff's and Raquel's story. These two are seriously fun and entertaining characters and had me laughing and sighing with utter bliss. I loved how volatile they were to each other, as they both tried to keep the other away. But once they finally admit to one another that they are mates, things take a turn for the AWESOME! Not only do we get some sizzling, wild love scenes, but we get some problems that they need to solve with the help from all our favorite characters! Astrid, Ethan, and of course, Satan! Laugh your pants off fun follows as well as surprises that will have you groaning and moaning...or that could of been just me! *Wink*

I can never seem to get enough of this series. And FHTH is one of those romances that had me double over laughing and sighing with contentment. The romance is electrifying and the sex is, well, hotter than Hell. Raquel and Heathcliff are explosive together! They fit perfectly and when they rile each other up, and the teeth-grinding commences and the good times roll! I can't help but to love this book.

Fashionably Hotter Than Hell gets an OUTRAGEOUSLY FINE FIVE SHOOTING STARS! Its a story so crazy fun and sassy, you just don't want to miss it. Robyn Peterman will delight and give you a one Hell of a good time!
