Cool under pressure... Until now.

Hostile Operations Team sniper Jack "Hawk" Hunter is cool, methodical, and utterly lethal. Nothing rattles Jack's calm. But that was before he learned he fathered a child three years ago--a child who has just been kidnapped.

Gina Domenico is a superstar, a pop sensation with a string of hit records. But deep inside, she's still the lonely girl she's always been. When Jack saved her from an arms dealer, they spent three unforgettable days together waiting for rescue--and Gina fell hard for the sexy soldier before he walked away forever.

But now she needs his help and she'll do anything to get it. Though Jack can never forgive Gina for keeping his child from him, he'll do everything in his power--and HOT's--to bring their son home safely.

Nothing is what it seems, however, and their fates hang in the balance as someone else pulls the strings...and brings them ever closer to an explosive confrontation that could either save their son--or cost them everything.

Excerpt

 

A few minutes later Jack came into the bedroom. She thought she should tell him to knock first or something, but she didn’t have the energy. The barriers that would normally be there between her and a man just weren’t there with Jack.

 

“You didn’t eat enough on the plane. I ordered room service.”

 

“I’m not hungry.”

 

“Gina.” He walked into the room and stopped in front of her. His blue eyes roamed her face while her heart kicked up. When he met her eyes again, her breath hitched. “You have to rest and you have to eat. We don’t know what’s going to happen, and you need to be strong. That’s one of the rules on a mission. Take care of yourself or you’re no good to your team.”

 

“I’m not part of your team. I’m just me.”

 

“You aren’t alone on this. We’re here, and that makes you part of the team. I’m ordering you to eat, same as I’d order my spotter or anyone else under my authority, and then I’m ordering you to rest.”

 

“I’m not under your authority.” Maybe she should be angry at the way he was talking to her, but she was oddly touched. God, just blame it on stress and a situation outside her control. She needed to push this man away, but she couldn’t seem to do it.

“Think of this like the island. I’m the one with the experience. I know what I’m doing. I got you out of there, didn’t I?”

She nodded.

 

“Trust me to get you out of here too, okay?”

 

“All right.”

He lifted an eyebrow. “You gonna eat when the food gets here?”

 

“Depends on what you ordered. I hate squash, for instance.”

“Then I’ll call and cancel the squash sandwich.”

 

She couldn’t help but laugh even though it had an edge that could turn into panic at any moment. “You didn’t order anything of the sort.”

 

“No.” He backed away and reached for the door handle. “Put on your pajamas. Get comfortable.”

 

“I don’t wear pajamas. I don’t wear anything.”

 

He stopped in mid-swing and she wanted to laugh again. She did wear pajamas, but she’d wanted to rattle him. Just because.

 

“Well, honey, you can come out here in nothing if you want, but it’ll probably be embarrassing for you and the delivery person both. Still, you can tip him good and I’m sure it’ll be fine.”

 

He shot her a grin before shutting the door behind him. Gina stood there with her heart pounding and her pulse skipping and wondered just what it was about him that made her want to get beneath his skin.

Facing the Music {Book Review}

Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley for my review. The opinions in this post are a 100% of my own and may differ from others.

Title: Facing the Music

Author: Andrea Laurence

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Book Description:

In this sizzling and hilarious contemporary e-book romance, pop sensation Ivy Hudson returns to her small town to face her ex. Only trouble is, she made her Taylor-Swift-like career with the hit song “Size Matters”—and the football hero has had to live it down ever since.

Five years ago, high school sweethearts Ivy and Blake’s relationship imploded and both their lives were changed forever. Ivy became a rock star and Blake lost not only his dreams of a successful NFL career, but his reputation. Ivy’s angry song about their breakup, called “Size Matters,” hit the top of the charts and Blake became a national laughingstock. He’s salvaged his career and returned to Rosewood to be the high school football coach, regaining his status as town hero and leading the boys to the state championships.

When a tornado whips through town and destroys the high school gymnasium and stadium, a committee is formed to help rebuild and plan some charity fundraisers. Blake’s grandmother requests that Ivy return to Rosewood for the events. Forced back together for the good of their hometown and their careers, Ivy and Blake have no choice but to put aside their differences, stop running from their pasts, and finally face the music.

My Review:

           This book has a little bit of everything from the broken up high school sweethearts, the ex-best friend/popular girl trying to get revenge, stalker paparazzi. And of course the meddling grandmother. It's a sweet and funny story. 

   I definitely have to say Blake was by far my favorite character in this story. He's sweet and sexy. And definitely seems to roll with the punches that life throws at him. Especially after the song that Ivy has written about him.

     I liked Ivy, she's obviously done what she wanted and made her dreams come true with her career. But she does seem to hold on to a grudge a little long. Sure I mean I get where she's coming from. 

   This book is definitely a sweet little romance and had a good plot that flows well. I can't wait until the next one in this series comes out.




          Facing the Music comes out on September 15th you can Pre-Order on Amazon, B & N, iBooks, Books-A-Million.

My Review:

     Sexy.... Passionate... Erotic.... Heartwarming... This series just keeps getting better and better!!!

    So I have to say first of all I had never heard of this series Club Sin before the author Stacey Kennedy started following me on twitter and I kept seeing her posts on the books. So of course being the curious person I am and considering these books were right up my alley. I had to check them out and went and bought the first one. And I fell in love with this series and as much as I liked Dmitri and really liked Aiden. I really, really couldn't wait to read Kyler's book. So I was super excited when I got the chance to review this book. 

     As I said above I was already in love with Kyler from the first 2 books in this series. Kyler's sexy and passionate and caring. And very protective of those he cares about. All I can say is where can I find my own Kyler?!?!

     I liked Ella a lot in this book and you could tell that she was strong and independent after everything she had been through. And I'm glad she got away from her crazy ex. In a way I could kind of relate to Ella and liked her new attitude towards life.

     I would have to give this books a 4.5 out of 5 stars and would recommend this book who likes Smoking hot scenes, sexy Club Masters. 

    Club Sin: Desired comes out on July 22nd you can Pre-order it on Amazon, B & N, iBooks, and on Kobo.

Undeniable Demands {Secrets of Eden Book 1} {Book Review}

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the author Andrea Laurence for my review. The opinions in this post are 100% of my own and may differ from others.

Title: Undeniable Demands {Secrets of Eden}

Author: Andrea Laurence

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Book Description:

When Wade Mitchell finds himself face-to-face with Victoria Sullivan, he has to reconsider his usual tactics. Wade needs to buy something she owns, and he needs it now. Since he and Tori have enough heat to melt ice, it should be a done deal.

But melting Tori's resolve is a harder task. She's not giving in to the man who once fired her. Yet Wade has to keep trying, because if he doesn't, he risks exposing a secret that could destroy his family. When all proper negotiation fails, seduction may be his only option.
My Review:

        This is the second  book of Andrea's  that I have read, and also the first book in the Secret of Eden Series. I lately have been doing things, or reading things backwards. Especially book series I seem to read backwards. I read the third book in this series before I even read this one, you can read my review for Heir to Scandal  Here. So having read the third book first I thought I would be really confused but luckily I was easily able to follow along.

    If you haven't read any of the book's in this series I should start off with this series follows four of  the foster children of Ken and Molly Eden, the proud owners of  Eden Christmas Tree farm. With only one child of their own,  Julianne.  They fostered Wade, Brody, Heath and Xander.  All of them coming from not very great backgrounds.  They also apparently they have a secret between them, something that happened 15 years ago and could ruin all their lives.

    Wade returns home early for Christmas when he receives a phone call from Julianne that their secret may become exposed, after a piece of the Eden land has been purchased. What Wade doesn't expect is to find that the land has been purchased by Victoria, who used to work for and had fired. What I really liked about Wade is the fact that even though he may not have had a great childhood. Is that he wants to protect his "family" any way he can.

     I wasn't to sure on Victoria at first. Sure I really liked that she was strong and independent. But she also held a stubborn streak to her. She also at times seemed a little naïve about things. I also thought that even though she may have been fired unfairly by Wade years before. That maybe she held onto a grudge a little too long.

     This is a nice fairly straight forward romance that flows nicely. I liked that it had a little bit of everything from Romance, a little bit of Mystery, and it made me laugh a little to. I also really liked that with the little bit of Mystery that Andrea started this series with held my attention and she didn't give much away. So that way I will be looking forward to the other books in this series. I look forward to reading  Brody's story next. And give this book 4 out of 5 Stars.

Crashing Down (Summer Lovin') {Book Review}

Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book from the author Cathryn Fox for my review. The opinions in this post are 100% of my own and may differ from other's.

Title: Crashing Down {A Summer Lovin Novel}

Author: Cathryn Fox

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Book Description:

When reckless meets responsible...

Straight A student Kathryn Lane is all work and no play. She's determined to keep her scholarship, and that means no distractions...until she takes a summer internship at Stone Cliff Resort and meets bad boy Noah Ryan. She knows she should keep her distance—after all he’s not the kind of guy she can bring home to daddy—but his disarming smile and dangerous ways are entirely too tempting.

College dropout, Noah Ryan takes one look at Kathryn and instantly knows her type—ambitious, driven and determined, just like he used to be, before the accident that derailed his life and left him an emotional wreck. He vows to avoid her, but when a co-worker backs him into a bet he can’t refuse, everything he’s been running from is challenged and he’s forced to confront his demons.

Soon, Kathryn and Noah are lost to everything except each other. As their lives become entwined, their passion is reckless, their heat all-consuming but when hurtful truths spill out, can Noah prove himself worthy of the one girl who can heal his wounded heart, or will the fire they ignited turn to ash when it all comes crashing down?

My Review:

I first have to say I've read a couple of Cathryn's book and have thoroughly enjoyed her books. I don't give out 5 stars to books often. I usually do 4 Stars or 4.5 Stars even though we can't mark 4.5 stars. Even if its a author I really enjoy reading. But a book has got to grab my attention and hold it to get a 5 star rating from me. And Crashing Down in my opinion is a Must Read.

I fell in love with Noah's character right away. I kept waiting for that moment where I wouldn't like him and it never came. Even when he tried being an ass---- and said he was an ass----. I kept waiting for that moment and again it never came. It's obvious Noah is a little maybe lost in his life and carrying around demons on his shoulders from his friends death. I think all in all Noah's a young man that just doesn't know how to deal with things.

I really liked Kat's character. I won't say love because I rarely love female character's in books. But maybe once I may make an exception for Kat's character. I really liked that Cathryn made Kat's character open to new things. Even though she was set in her ways to how she was supposed to do things.

I have to admit I was a little worried when Noah made that bet with Luke. And was a little worried with what direction the story may take with it. But Overall I was very happy with this story. The story flowed very well and their was just enough sexiness to it to keep my dirty mind happy.

I would definitely recommend this book to friends and family.
