REVIEW:  WHITE LIGHTNING (RISING STORM: EPISODE 2) BY LEXI BLAKE

White Lightning: Episode 2 by Lexi Blake

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Hidden agendas, shady characters, heartbreaking events. Episode 1: Tempest Rising was an introduction into a troubled community of people sent reeling from the death of one of their own. Episode 2: White Lightning digs deeper into not just the repercussions of the accident but the inner workings of two marriages with secrets of their own and the bad choices of one woman. I did not like the Senator. He has smarmy written all oven him and I don't believe his wife is as blind as she pretends to be, she just doesn't care. The way he preys on younger, weaker women makes him a sociopath to me. Dakota needed to get over blaming others and start facing the choices she made and stop relying on others for her happiness. The Rising Storm series is a guilty pleasure that is worth experiencing from the beginning. I received an ARC of White Lightning by Lexi Blake in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW:  AN HEIR FIT FOR A KING BY ABBY GREEN


 An Heir Fit for a King: Christmas at the Castello (bonus novella) by Abby Green

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Alix has an overpowering personality and a magnetic aura that appeals to Leila.
Inexperienced Leila gets caught up in a situation she never expected. At first glance Alix comes off a pompous jerk and Leila his gullible pawn. There were so many times I wanted Leila to take charge and stick up for herself. I also wanted to give Alix a piece of my mind. However, as I became better acquainted with the characters I started to realize Alix's arrogance was his way of coping with responsibilities and protecting himself. It is said that a good story evokes strong emotion. If that is the case, Abby Green did a beautiful job. An Heir Fit For A King is an intense, emotional whirlwind. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW:  CLAIMED FOR MAKAROV'S BABY BY SHARON KENDRICK

Claimed for Makarov's Baby: Christmas at the Castello by Sharon Kendrick

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


His chance at happiness disappeared without a trace. Dimitri will find her no matter what it takes. Erin sees no other way to leave the past behind. So she escapes all the heartache and tries to move on with her life. I received an ARC of Claimed for Makarov's Baby in exchange for an honest review. There was no surprise factor with this story. It was a concept that has been presented before so I knew what to expect.

REVIEW:  ENTICING WINTER BY SHERELLE GREEN

Enticing Winter by Sherelle Green

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Sherelle Green's novels consist of temperamental individuals seeking to work through deep emotional baggage. Enticing Winter is only the second story I have read by her but I cannot wait to read more. Winter is sassy, sexy and single-minded. She knows she has something to prove and will not stop until she does. Taheim is attracted to Winter. He sees a carbon copy of himself in this beautiful woman. Where the problems start is that past betrayals, ambition, competition and mistrust make these two a ticking time bomb. Ms. Green writes characters that readers can sympathize with, root for and see themselves in. I received an ARC of Enticing Winter in exchange for an honest review.

Subject: Navy SEAL Gray Jackson

Objective: Stay on mission. And out of her bed.

Surgeon Laney Parker is on her honeymoon. Alone.

Including an unbearably hot massage therapist whose touch turns Laney to molten lava...

Laney has no idea that Gray Jackson is actually an undercover Navy SEAL who's supposed to keep his hands off. Or that Gray wants to take total control. To give Laney just what she--hell, what they both need. Gray can grant her every erotic wish, just as long as he keeps his cover.

REVIEW:  TEASING HER SEAL BY ANNE MARSH


 Teasing Her Seal by Anne Marsh

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Character Chemistry: A

Sex Appeal: A++++

Comic Relief: A-

Story: B-

Total Grade: B+

My experience with author Anne Marsh is that she writes entertaining books that are sensual, romantic and adventurous. With Teasing Her Seal, Ms. Marsh stays true to that format. Laney finds herself thrust into the path of a sexy undercover Navy Seal that pushes all the right buttons for her. For Gray, Laney is his greatest temptation. She may become the key to his undoing. Teasing Her Seal supplies everything I expect from an Anne Marsh novel. It does Harlequin Blaze proud. My personal opinion as a reader of both the author and the Harlequin Blaze brand is that there was something lacking. It still proved to be a good read. Received an ARC of Teasing Her Seal By Anne Marsh in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW:  THE GOOD GIRL'S SECOND CHANCE BY CHRISTINE RIMMER


The Good Girl's Second Chance by Christine Rimmer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


There is nothing sexier than a man who is focused on being a good father. Quinn Bravo is intent on making his daughter happy and keeping his business successful. Chloe has decided to start over in a different environment. Focus on work and rebuilding her life should keep her from repeating past mistakes. Then again, anything is possible when a Bravo is involved. I love the Bravo's. Have followed the series from the very beginning. Through different generations and branches of their family tree. What I like most about this family is that they are good people that bond together through good times and bad. And they aren't above a little matchmaking either. Christine Rimmer always writes stories that mix family, emotion and enchanting characters in all her workings.
I received an ARC of The Good Girl's second chance in exchange for an honest review. With this family I always come back for more.

REVIEW:  KEEP ME, COWBOY BY NICOLE HELM

Keep Me, Cowboy by Nicole Helm

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Full of heartfelt emotion and self examination, Keep Me, Cowboy is an exquisite story. This is a book that leaves the reader pondering: what would I do in the same situation? Cole and Jess both showed courage in the decisions they made. Jess was willing to put her feelings aside to heal a rift between a family that needed each other. Cole broke his own heart in making the decision to remove himself from a desperate situation in the past. Keep Me, Cowboy is about finding the strength to stay despite the temptation to leave. I received an ARC of Keep Me Cowboy by Nicole Helm in exchange for an honest review.
