Fighting Temptation (Men Of Honor Book 1) 

by K.C. LYNN

Jaxson is arrogant, angry and aggressive. Yet he’s also beautiful, strong and honorable. I unconditionally and irrevocably love every damaged part of him. And for the boy, who didn’t believe in love, he would always and forever have mine.
~Julia Sinclair

Julia was different from anyone I’d ever met. I never thought someone so good and genuine existed until her. The more I saw of her the more I became addicted to her. Every time I was around her she would destroy some of the darkness that lurked inside of me. She made the bad shit in my life seem not so terrible. Then, before I knew it, I had fallen for a girl from another world. ~Jaxson Reid

Two unlikely friends—the innocent, good girl and the notorious bad boy. One fateful night brought them together, and they formed a bond—one so strong it was unbreakable—until one night they gave into temptation.

Fast forward five years and Jaxson is back to fix the mistakes he’s made with the only girl who’s ever mattered to him. Only someone isn’t happy with his return, someone who thinks Julia is theirs and they will stop at nothing to make sure it stays that way—forever.

Jaxson will not only fight to protect Julia, but will also battle the new and existing demons that haunt his soul from death, corruption, destruction and war.

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.

Do or Die, Reluctant Heroes Series by Suzanne Brockmann

Description

Suzanne Brockmann’s seamless blend of heroic military action and intense passion inspired USA Today to call her “a superstar of romantic suspense”—and for years her award-winning Troubleshooters books have been must-reads for fans of sizzling stories of action and adventure. Now the New York Times bestselling author shoots to thrill again with Do or Die, an electrifying new novel that is certain to win Brockmann new readers and delight devotees.

Navy SEAL Ian Dunn went rogue in a big way when he turned his talents to a lawless life of jewel heists and con jobs. Or so the world has been led to believe. In reality, the former Special Ops warrior is still fighting for good, leading a small band of freelance covert operatives who take care of high-stakes business in highly unofficial ways. That makes Ian the hands-down choice when the U.S. government must breach a heavily guarded embassy and rescue a pair of children kidnapped by their own father, a sinister foreign national willing to turn his kids into casualties. Shockingly, Ian passes on the mission for reasons he will not—or cannot—reveal.

But saying no is not an option. Especially not for Phoebe Kruger, Ian’s beautiful and unexpectedly brash new attorney. Determined to see the abducted children set free, she not only gets Ian on board but insists on riding shotgun on his Mission: Impossible–style operation, whether he likes it or not.

Though Phoebe has a valuable knack for getting out of tight spots, there’s no denying the intensely intimate feelings growing between Ian and Phoebe as the team gears up for combat. But these are feelings they both must fight to control as they face an array of cold-blooded adversaries, including a vindictive mob boss who’s got Ian at the top of his hit list and a wealthy psychopath who loves murder as much as money. As they dodge death squads and play lethal games of deception, Ian and Phoebe will do whatever it takes to save the innocent and vanquish the guilty—or die trying.

Silencing Sapphire by Mia Thompson.

Product Description

While setting her sights on a new serial killer, Beverly Hills heiress and vigilante, Sapphire Dubois, fights to cancel the wedding of the season in the sequel to the bestselling New Adult Thriller STALKING SAPPHIRE.

As a new serial killer dubbed the “Stripper Slayer” plagues Los Angeles, Sapphire once again sheds her socialite persona, this time to go undercover as a penniless stripper. Struggling to find the brutal man before he slays again, Sapphire finds that the thin wall separating her double life is cracking. Her family and friends expect her to walk down the aisle with the most eligible bachelor among the Beverly Hills elite; a man she doesn’t want. Meanwhile, the man she does want, handsome Detective Aston Ridder, is making her life hell as he closes in on the Serial Catcher’s trail.

Sapphire scrambles to keep the chaos at bay, unaware that someone else is tracking her as well. A serial killer from her past is back and will stop at nothing to get his vengeance.


 This is book 2 in the Sapphire series and I loved this one too.  So funny.  Sapphires love life is a disaster but her ability to catch the serial killers is first class.  She's put Aston in an impossible position and made herself a social outcast.  Mia you're fast becoming my favourite author.

Don't Look Away by Leslie Kelly

CAN A MURDER VICTIM'S OWN MEMORIES BE USED TO SOLVE A CRIME? Detective Veronica Sloan isn’t shocked by much. Having lived through the worst terrorist attacks in history—which destroyed much of Washington, D.C.—she’s immune to even the most vicious brutality. But even she is stunned by the discovery of a murder in the basement of the under-reconstruction White House. Sloan and FBI Agent Jeremy Sykes have been assigned to investigate the homicide because the victim was a participant in a top-secret experiment. Veronica has been training for just this kind of case, waiting to use her special skills, anxious to learn if a recording device implanted in a victim’s head can help solve their murder….before the killer strikes again.

 I gave this 4 stars, its set in the future (2017) after the white house is destroyed. Detective Veronica Sloan has to investigate a murder when a headless corpse of a young woman is found. Plenty of twists and turns, grusome murders aplenty, a great read

Getting Rowdy By Lori Foster

It's only 3 stars for me.
It's no where near as good as the last 2. Nothing really happens until your well over 100 pages in and barely any action or suspense until the last 50 pages.
Very disappointing, I'm a big fan of Lori Foster but for me this wasn't worth the wait.
