 Wanted: Adventurous, open-minded man willing to try anything…

As a popular sex blogger, Beatriz gets paid to have orgasms. So being on deadline the week of her sister’s wedding isn’t as rough as it sounds. There’s just one hitch: Bea’s assignment is to write a review of a sex position manual, but she doesn’t have a plus one to play with.

The good news: Ben, the one who got away back in college, is also attending stag--and he's as temptingly gorgeous as ever.

The bad news: Ben turned down Bea’s offer of graduation night sex five years ago.

The best news: He’s not planning on making the same mistake twice.


A red-hot retelling of Much Ado About Nothing for people who love Shakespeare but thought his plays could use a few more sex scenes.

A Cosmo Red-Hot Read




Short but sweet, naughty and nice, and sooooo funny, Tiffany Reisz has done it again with the latest erotica novella. A brilliant read for an afternoon, and it's really easy to get along with, its as if you already know the characters.

Such a thoughtful wedding pressie from a character from another book ( sorry, I am not giving it away ;-))

I love the Bell hop, I think I might need more of him x

Product Description

Brady Fitzpatrick has spent a decade burying the pain of a broken heart while working for SIEGE, an information-gathering spy agency. That it kept him away from his family as well as his best friend Molly has been an unfortunate side effect. But when his brother, also an agent, is killed during a foreign op, Brady is drawn into a web of intrigue that threatens the lives of everyone he loves…
Molly Byrnes has loved Brady forever. As his best friend and a de facto member of the Fitzpatrick family, she holds them together in their crushing grief. But as a member SIEGE’s ground team, she doesn't buy the official line about Brady’s brother’s “accidental” death and launches her own investigation—only to uncover a shocking secret that she and Brady must get to the bottom of before their target finds them.
Tangled emotions land them in bed together, opening Brady’s eyes to the incredible, fearless woman who’s been there for him all his life. But after a lifetime of disappointment, how can Molly trust the possibility of a future with him…or if they can count on any future at all?

Started off well but became more unbelievable as the story progressed.  It was a pleasant enough read. I wouldn't really class this as Military romance even though this is what I was led to believe.  I thought SEIGE was a bit wishy washy and the bad guys could have been overpowered with a 4 yr old brandishing a water pistol (sorry that was a little unfair) The bad guys could have been a bit more badder! ( Is that even a word?!)
And the dangling knives...what is this a cartoon.

Risking It All for Her Boss by Sharron McClellan






Entangled Publishing.
Amazon UK £0.99
204 Pages



Heroes for Hire: Big Risk. Big Reward. No Regrets.
 
When High Risk Securities (HRS) agent, Eva Torres, botches an undercover job by failing
to rescue both of the kidnap victims she was sent to retrieve, Quinn Blackwood—her former
lover and the man who broke her heart—pulls her and one of the victims out of harm’s way.
As a penalty for her sins, she’s offered the dull job of escorting a former bio-chemical warfare
scientist to Washington D.C. to reunite with his daughter. Much to her displeasure, the job of
monitoring her assignment is given to Quinn.
 
Quinn isn’t thrilled with the situation either. He taught Eva everything he knew about secrets,
sex, and lies—but the biggest lie of all was the one he’d told himself: that his missions for
HRS were more important than anything, including his relationship with Eva. Because now
that they’re working together again, the urge to put his hands on her, to feel her beneath him, is
killing him.
 
Things only get worse when their current operation goes wrong, and the scientist they’re
guarding is kidnapped mid-air. Now, Eva and Quinn have to work together to find him before he
is forced to create a monstrous weapon that could destroy entire cities. A hard task made more
difficult when they find themselves fighting both the enemy and their building desire for each
other. Can they work together for the sake of the mission without reigniting the passion between
them—or will passion be the salvation of them all?
 
This is a military romance set in Colombia and America.  It started off well, straight into the action with Eva rescuing Felix but then it fizzles out.  This could do with more...everything.  More description, more action, more suspense, just more everything.  The story line is good and with a bit more Oomph it would be a fantastic read.

Savage Secrets (Titan #6) by Cristin Harber


Published February 24th 2014 by Mill Creek Press
298 pages
ebook £3.09 from Amazon UK


**Adult audiences: book includes violent scenes**

Savage Secrets is the newest title in the USA Today Bestselling Series!

When the past is impossible to ignore, love may be the only way to survive.

Caterina Cruz has no home. No loyalties. No objection to exacting torturous revenge. Her life’s mission is to destroy the terrorist who murdered her family. Then she steps into an elaborate game of charades alongside a Titan Group operative posing as an arms dealer—and her newlywed husband. The sexy distraction may be more than she can handle.

Attacked with a psychedelic drug weeks before, Rocco Savage is plagued with hallucinations that threaten his new rank as Titan’s second-in-command. No one knows and he wants to keep it that way. Throwing him further off his game, he now has a wife with her own secrets he can’t crack and an agenda he can’t control.

Their mission—an elaborate deception of heated glances and passionate kisses—spins out of control. With Rocco's mind already compromised, can he keep his secret and his distance? And with Caterina's tragic past controlling her every move, can she keep the con up long enough to secure her revenge? Or will both go down in flames?

A Must Read, Wow
This has to be the BEST book in the series so far.  Absolutely fantastic military romance.  This book is set in London, Virginia, and Spain and as the title suggests Rocco Savage has a secret but then so does Mi6 interrogator Caterina Cruz.  The chemistry between the pair of them is super hot and I love the way Cat gets Rocco going by talking Spanish to him and the way she handles a weapon whether it be a gun or a super large knife held between her teeth. If big hot guys with big guns who pull out all the stops to save the girl is your cup of tea then this is defiantly for you.

**WARNING** This story has a violent sexual scene and Cristin Harber has done a great job of portraying the horror of the attack without making it overly graphic and I would also join Cristin in saying that...

"Rape is a crime.  Talking about it isn't.  There are many resources out there, Including After Silence to help in the healing process"

Point of No Return by Rita Henuber





Fans of thrilling military romances will love Rita Henuber’s books.

Marine Major Honey Thornton is nobody’s fool, so when she’s brought in for an off-the-books mission by a manipulative two-star general, she has to wonder why. When it turns out Honey’s mission is to investigate a military contractor tied to the recent kidnappings of innocent children, she signs on immediately. Little did she know one of the first people she’d have to question was her sometime lover, Jack O’Brien.

Jack O’Brien left the CIA bitter and disillusioned and now hires himself out as a contract spy. When his brother and sister-in-law are mysteriously killed and the young daughter they left behind is targeted for kidnapping, he smells a cover-up and goes underground to find out who’s behind it all. Not sure who he can trust, the situation grows more tense when the sexy Honey starts asking questions he’s not sure he wants to answer.

With suspicion flaring on all sides and passion burning between them, Jack and Honey have to decide whether they can trust each other and bring down the people responsible, no matter how high up the chain of command it goes. Because when you’re navigating the murky political waters of the Pentagon, the CIA, and private armies, it’s hard to know who’s got your back, who’s on your side, and who’s lying to your face—and sometimes the only thing you can trust is what you know in your heart.

About the Author:

Rita Henuber is the author of Under Fire, Under Fire: The Admiral, and No Holding Back. Her heroes and heroines are either in the military or government service because she writes what she knows—her father was in the Coast Guard and immediate family members served in every branch of the service, ranking from private to admiral and working as desk jockeys, grunts, pilots, and everything in between. Retired from government service herself, Rita now lives on the barrier island where she grew up.


Military romance seems to be my favorite thing to read at the moment.  I love sexy alpha males and hot 'hold their own' heroines and this book does not disappoint.  I enjoyed the technical details that seem to bring a scene to life and there's no shortage of steamy bits too.  This fast became a book I couldn't put down.
Only one issue I had with this book and that was the phrase 'flaming fish balls' , once or twice I could have handled but it's constantly cropping up, I thought it was because the author wanted a substitute for the 'F word' , nope, I was wrong because ' f''king flaming fish balls' was in it too.  This did detract from my enjoyment and so I give this book a 3.5 Stars instead of a 4.  I would certainly read others by this author and I would recommend this book.
