Ok this was really deep! Leah was an old soul who just loved planes. She wanted to be a pilot and she had so many obstacles to overcome to get there. She had the overwhelming passion to fly and that was so strong at a very young age.  Mr. Hall becomes her mentor and sort of father figure for three years. This man, who was in his 50’s, had a an x wife and three sons. The story was woven really well and I have to say I was so sad reading her story about her moving around for so long. I can not give away plots, but on Kindle the writing in on the wall about 50% then you just sit there and go OH My all of the plans and motives come out. Why not be truthful and move on than to smile and lie and be unhappy?? I think that Leah and her bff Molly have learned from each other. Starting with how their friendship began and that they are extreme opposites really doesn’t cause dramsa, only makes it more real.

What appealed to me about Leah was her passion for the flying. Leah had that start at such a young age. As for Jake who is Hall’s oldest son, that is a spoiler. Grayson and Leah and their plans that include lies and deceit, are spun well. At one point I know there is regret on Alec’s part and Grayson because it seems Leah knew so much about their Dad and his motives. Mr. Hall had a lot to say in death and his voice and lessons carried on long after. Leah learned that you may come from a background but the path in life is what you make of it, nobody but you controls it.

Loved IT!!! The right amount of everything! Evan still with Marci and all leveled headed prosecutor district attorney like. The families and friends were great. I can really see a series with Ghost!!Candace Andrews has had enough of pleasing others. In an act of birthday rebellion, she sets out to please herself—by walking into the tattoo parlor owned by her cousin’s ex-boyfriend. All she wants is a little ink, and Brian’s just the guy to give it to her.

As soon as she submits to his masterful hands, though, the forbidden attraction she’s always felt for him resurfaces…and she realizes the devilishly sexy artist could give her so much more.

Sweet, innocent Candace is the last person Brian expected to see again. She’s everything he’s not, and her family despises him. He doesn’t need the hassle, but he needs her, and this time no one is taking her away. Not even those who threaten to make his life a living hell.

Backed into a corner, Candace faces the worst kind of choice. Cave in to those who think Brian is a living nightmare…or hold her ground and risk it all for the one man who rocks her world.

Warning: This book contains explicit sex, naughty language, tattoos aplenty, family drama, a hot rock concert…and a bad boy hero who’s pierced in all the right places extra steam!!

Just loved this. It was fluffy and sappy romance but I needed it bad!! I am shocked at how many times I was laughing my butt off. Haley decides that things are going to change starting with the aggravating neighbor who has too much charm & not enough restraint. What she didn’t expect was to sucked into his world, but Haley has a game plan and she won’t let herself forget just what the bad boy next door is capable of. The last thing Jason expected was for his little shy neighbor to go Rambo on him over some ruined flowers. After he decides to take her under his wing he can’t help but that notice that she fits very nicely in his life. Now the only left is to convince her that this is anything but a game

Zoe is used to taking care of herself and has long ago accepted that if anything bad was going to happen, it was going to happen to her. So when she loses her job over something most bosses would probably be happy with and her life starts going down hill from there she doesn’t expect it to get any better. She certainly didn’t expect any help from the loud jerk next door, but then again she has nothing to lose so puts her trust in him and hopes for the best. What she didn’t expect was the once in a lifetime opportunity that he offers her through an arrangement where they both benefit and no one is supposed to get hurt, but she should have known better because her luck has never been that good.

Like most Bradfords, Trevor has a soft spot for food, but that’s about all. He leads a pretty straightforward life and likes to keep things simple and that includes his relationships. He wants the perfect woman and knows exactly what she’ll be like. So when he discovers much to his horror that he’s thinking about his frumpy little neighbor he decides the best way to get his head straight is by working her out of his system. He’ll keep her around, but only until he finds perfection (from cover)

“You missed breakfast,” Jason announced as Trevor stepped into the large busy kitchen filled with Bradfords and food.
“That’s fine. I’m not really hungry,” he said, barely aware or caring that all activity in the busy kitchen suddenly stopped as every Bradford in the room, even one year old Cole stopped trying to climb onto the counter to get at the large platter of cookies his mother made to stare at him in disbelief.”

This is the follow up story of Andi and Devin. In the first book- Andi is a creative writing professor and Devin is a high paid male escort. They strike a contract- she will teach him about writing and he about sexuality. By the end of book one- he falls in love with her but her heart belongs to another- Sam. She moves away and marries Sam to live the blissful life she always dreamed of.

In Ordinary World- disaster strikes- after 5 years of marriage Sam is killed by a drunk driver and she plummets into a deep depression. There are many interesting twists and turns to this story including how she comes to terms with her losses and how she finds her way back to an ordinary world!

As always this was a recommendation and IO loved the first one equally as much

Marc d’Alessio might own a BDSM club with his fellow military veterans, Adam and Damian, but he keeps all women at a distance. However, when Marc rescues beautiful Angelina Giardano from a disastrous first BDSM experience at the club, an uncharacteristic attraction leaves him torn between his safe, but lonely world, and a possible future with his angel.

Angelina leaves BDSM behind, only to have her dreams plagued by the Italian angel who rescued her at the club. When she meets Marc at a bar in her hometown, she can’t shake the feeling she knows him, but has no idea why he reminds her of her angel.

When Marc’s search-and-rescue partner, widower Luke Denton, confides he believes Angelina is the angel his wife promised to send him, Marc is convinced she is meant for Luke. A painful incident from his past keeps Marc from letting any woman drive a wedge between him and a friend.

While Luke can provide Angelina with love and stability, Marc knows his friend can’t satisfy her submissive needs. Marc offers one night to show her that BDSM is not about pain, but a power exchange with mutual trust and consent. But he knows he can’t commit emotionally to anything more.

When the abusive Dom from Angelina’s past threatens, Marc’s protective instincts kick in; he must keep her safe. Again at the Masters at Arms Club, she turns the tables on him and turns his safe, controlled world upside down. (Book Two in the RESCUE ME series; follows introduction to series, MASTERS AT ARMS.

Well well I am so happy about this one. Who knew so much about Navajo artifacts? I got an American Indian education for sure. Someone wants the Native Americans off their sacred land, which happens to be a place where looters found priceless artifacts. Navajo journalist Katherine (Kat) James and park ranger Gabriel Rossiter team up to investigate why. Together they discover the truth about both their past and the future. There were the usual players and of course Chief Irving and Tom our much love to hate  boss at Denver Independent. Shocked to see where the truth takes these two and the long road to get there. The reveal on Gabe is just HUGE. Can not say enough good things about their passion and the authors portrayal of what a real Navajo thinks especially about dreams. I will never look at a coyote the same way. Kat was so young but had such wisdom from her faith to her beliefs I just adored her.

My rating

This was really good especially for the start of the series. The Fallujah and Iraq references were made to provoke the mindset of any service person, whether a Marine or not. I loved the way the story had placed the three main characters who were not in such close proximity together through the American Vet service bond. There were parts that were really intense, but pulled the plot together for the rest of the series.

A Kindle Best Seller in Romantic Suspense, Romantic Adventure and Women Sleuths. I bought it and was a little disappointed. The English phrases and slang were really annoying to me. The fact that it took me extra time to understand was a killer. Aside from the usual pumping up a book on Goodreads and Amazon, where the reviews were great, I was no thrilled.

Interpol cop, Anna Leyton, spirals down into a hopeless vortex of sexual and emotional passion
as she fights to keep her professional cool. Who is deceiving who in this fast moving ride across continents?

I actually got annoyed today that life happened and I was not able to read ggrrrr. I finished this one tonight and was just amazed again. The Russian mob and human trafficking part scared the crap out of me! I loved Tessa and the other I Team reporters who all have their personalities engraved in my brain. Tessa, much like Kara, interfered with a lot of the FBI task force and the DPD operations, some of them were just so funny too! When the story unfolds with Julian’s family life and Tessa’s equally messed up family life, we see the reasons why they evolved into the adults they are. Bother were ashamed and not forthcoming about their past. Julian fights his demons because he cant get over that his father was a pimp and has emotional scars from that. Tessa has a family that forced her to lie and say she grew up in Georgia so she doesn’t have to share her beginnings. Such a fantastic story I just enjoy being on the edge of my seat. TY Pamela Clare!!
