Just from the ones I have read so far, I can't wait to devour the rest!!!!

Hostile Heir by Autumn Archer:
The introduction to Tomas and Carina’s story is intense and intriguing. Carina has been kidnapped and finds herself at the mercy of Tomas’ father, a cruel cartel leader, terrified and not knowing what’s going to happen next. When Tomas is introduced into the picture a tiny bit of hope of mercy and attraction flare in Carina, until he shows her, he can be just as cruel as his father. The bits we get from Carina’s past and recent life show us she’s innocent here, but will Tomas believe her or even help her? The exciting and heart pounding intensity in such a quick read had me needing the rest of their story, I mean to be left in the tiger situation had me running to get their duet.
Can’t Happen Again by Georgia Coffman:
Theo and Raegan meet on set for a photo shoot, and they have instant chemistry that has sparks flying and when things start to get hot and heavy it all comes to a screeching halt when Raegan’s roommate drops the bombshell that changes it all. While Raegan gets her roommates’ side of the story that paints Theo in a horrible light, she refuses to hear his side. Weeks go by and neither one can stop thinking of each other, Theo with passion in his eyes and some resentment towards Raegan’s inability to hear his side and Raegan with anger in her eyes thinking the worst of Theo. The way Theo really gets under Raegan’s skin sets so much into motion, but will Raegan ever see reason and try to listen to him, and will Theo be the guy that settles down? A cute read with a lot of emotion and all the steam.

Protecting the Enemy
A Romantic Suspense Athology

Downloading this anthology was a wonderful surprise. I have a few authors I have read and enjoyed before as well as even more new ones to give a try.

Thinking that I could read a bit and help myself fall asleep, I opened PROPHET by S.M. West. Well, an early sleep did not happen and instead I was up till 3am because I had to find out what happened. I immediately downloaded the second book in the series and look forward to reading Kit’s story next.

Prophet started with a rather scary “meet-cute” that could have been a lethal encounter. Prophet was a fixer that worked for some rather corrupt and evil people but was excellent at his job. He loved his family, was true to his friends, did what it took to survive, and eventually came out on top. He was perfect for and with Maggie, his backstory and hers were hard to read but explained so much, and well…I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the story. I enjoyed it so much that I won’t be starting another book in the anthology because I have to go to bed early tonight as I have an early morning tomorrow.

Thank you to the authors for this collection ~ This is is my honest review ~ 5 Stars… (meer)

Tempting the Devil by Morgan James
Quentin Security Series #5

Sizzling romance with a healthy dose of mystery and suspense ~ Could not put it down! And, not having read previous books in the series was no problem at all as this story was complete in and of itself. That said, the hook at the end did make me want to find out what will happen next.

What I liked:
* The hot first night that was meant to be a one-night stand
* Abilene “Abby” Quentin: computer degree, back in town to care for her guardian and work for her brother, intelligent, talkative, sassy, knows what she wants, strong, independent, has memories she can’t explain – perfect for Clay.
* Clay Thompson: ex-Marine, twin, lethal, dyslexic, works for Quentin Security, falls hard for Abilene, has issues with his father that need to eventually be resolved, good friend of Abby’s brother Con, perfect for Abilene.
* Con: businessman, ex-Marine, big brother to Abilene, protective, intriguing, interested in finding out who he ends up with and think his book could be next.
* The mystery behind the dreams Abilene has and how that ties into more…
* The writing, plot, and location of the story
* The relationship between Clay and his twin Cole – would like to find out who Cole ends up with eventually.
* All of it really except…

What I didn’t like:
* The people and events I was meant not to like…won’t specify because it would give the story away.

Did I like this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley and ??? for the ARC – this is my honest review.

4-5 Stars… (meer)
