Reckless (Renegades #1) by Skye Jordan

A couture wedding dress designer to the rich and famous, Lexi LaCroix’s image means everything. But crossing paths with a sexier-than-sin, bad-boy biker makes Lexi realize how much living she’s sacrificed for her success and one touch is all it takes to threaten her carefully choreographed life. When that touch fills far more than just Lexi’s physical needs, she finds herself torn between the career she needs and the bad-boy she craves.

Jax Chamberlin gave up the superficial life of acting for the thrill of running his own stunt company years ago. But a recent betrayal proves he’s still too close to the limelight to find a woman who doesn’t plan to use him as a stepping-stone to success. When the charming and mysterious Lexi offers him a totally anonymous hook-up during an out of town trip, Jax accepts. Only Lexi is more sextacular than charming, and Jax wants more.

But Lexi’s got a major hang-up over his renegade lifestyle, and Jax isn’t willing to change his ways. Especially not when he discovers who she really is. Because if she finds out his connections could catapult her to the top of her career, he’s afraid the fantasy woman he’s falling for might just end up like all the other gold-diggers. And this time, it’s not just his bad-boy reputation at risk, but his heart, too.

“It was a part of her she loved but had rarely been able to express.  Never found a man who’d made her feel the desire to express it the way Jax did.”

 “Risk.  Jax is all about risk.  And letting go.”

Can I just say Ooohlala!!  This book is hot, steamy and oh so good.  The characters are not the typical movie star, designer types.  They have true depth.  You can actually relate to the way both are feeling throughout the entire story.  True to life.  This book is HOT! ght

Dark Wolf by Christine Feehan

#1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan now delivers her most eagerly awaited novel of all — ten years in the making. 

In Dark Lycan, Christine Feehan journeyed into the heart of the Carpathians, and into the souls of two lifemates stirred by the flush of passion and the threat of annihilation. In Dark Wolf, the breathtaking story continues as the bonds of family are imperiled, and the fate of two lovers lies hidden in the seductive shadows between life and death.

Skyler Daratrazanoff always recognized the miracle that was Dimitri Tirunul, a man beyond any dream that had ever engaged her nights. But she was human. Vulnerable. He was Carpathian. Nearly immortal. She was nineteen. He was an ancient. Yet she held half his soul, the light to his darkness. Without her, he would not survive. Caught between the two warring species, Dimitri has spent centuries hunting the undead to keep his people free, and humans safe. He had survived honorably when others had chosen to give up their souls. But now, marked for extermination by the Lycans, Dimitri found himself alone, and fearing for his life. But salvation was coming…

No Lycan would ever suspect someone like Skyler to dare mount a secret rescue operation. A teenage girl. A human of untested abilities. But she had something no one else had. She was predestined for Dimitri—as he was for her. And there was nothing stronger for Skyler than her desire to see her life-dream come true. Whatever the risk.

“She was no longer a child to be abused sexually or physically or even emotionally.  She was a grown woman with power of her own.  With friends.  With an ancient hunter for a lifemate, and he needed her.” 

Another WOW for Christine Feehan!  I think this one may be ranked in the OMG category.  It has so much passion entrenched with need.  Skyler grows up in this story and Dimitri is a saint!   I love these characters as well as all the other Carpathians.  Spoiler alert…Skyler and Dimitri fight the battles not only to help save the Carpathians, but within Skyler’s past as well.  Then there is Zev, the Lycan Alpha who comes in the picture in the previous book Dark Lycan.  He is a great developing character who we’ll see in Feehan’s next book.   It will leave you hanging on the edge!!! ght

Dark Lycan by Christine Feehan

The erotic, gripping series that has defined an entire genre” (J. R. Ward) continues as #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan links the fates of two strangers bound by a secret in the shadows of the Carpathian Mountains… 

Tatijana of the Dragonseekers spent centuries encased in ice with her sister, trapped in limbo between life and death, never speaking to a soul other than those who tormented her. Now, she has been freed from her frozen prison by an unknown descendent. Awakened in human form, Tatijana yearns to explore the modern world in which she now lives—a world with more mysteries than she is prepared for.

Fenris Dalka has returned to the Carpathian Mountains after a long absence to be with his brother. He is scarred by centuries of battle, and every hard-won victory. But the real reason for his return home could prove deadly if discovered by the wrong man—or woman. Upon his arrival, he is compelled by a beautiful and enigmatic stranger who carries the scent of fresh earth, of forest, of the night itself.

In time Tatijana and Fenris will discover all that unites them—their secrets and pasts, their predators, and the hot flush of passion that stirs their souls. Yet just as surely, seduced into the silvery darkness of a full-moon night, they’ll also discover everything ancient and evil that exists to destroy them.

“You’re a hunter.  You hunt vampire.  Ancient hunters don’t change their ways.”

“Just changing the name changes the feel of who and what you are.  Hän ku pesäk kaikak, or Paznicii de toate, which translates in either language to Guardians of all.”

Wow!  Christine Feehan does it again!  This book has all the highs and lows that a great romantic story entails.  Once you start reading you just can’t get enough!  It takes you on a journey of undeniable passion between Fen and Tatijana that consumes the depths of their lifemate bond. ght

Seducing Cinderella by Gina L. Maxwell

Mixed martial arts fighter Reid Andrews’s chance to reclaim his title as light heavyweight champ is shattered when he’s injured only months before the rematch. To make sure he’s healed in time, his trainer sends him to recuperate under a professional’s care—Reid’s best friend’s little sister, all grown up.

Disorganized and bookish Lucie Miller needs some professional help of her own. She’d do anything to catch the eye of a doctor she’s crushed on for years, so when Reid offers seduction lessons in exchange for 24/7 conditioning for the biggest fight of his career, Lucie jumps at the chance.

Soon Reid finds himself in the fight of his life...winning Lucie's heart before she gives it to someone else.

This was a really fun romantic read.  Lucie is hilarious! I laughed quite a bit while reading this book. 

"This is a sparrow." He looked down and fingered the bird charm. "Unlike most birds, when a sparrow finds its soul mate, they stay together until the end of their life."  Raising his head again he met her gaze.  "Making them the symbol for finding one's true love."

Welcome to Sugartown by Carmen Jenner

Ana Belle never wanted anything more than to hang up her apron, jump on her Vespa and ride off into the sunset, leaving Sugartown in the dust.

Elijah Cade never wanted anything more than a hot meal, a side of hot arse and a soft place to lay his head at night where he could forget about his past.

But you know what they say about wanting: you always want what you can’t have.

Nineteen year-old virgin Ana is about to discover that’s not quite true because a six foot three, hotter than hell, tattooed, Aussie sex god just rode into town. He’s had a taste of her pie and he wants more– no really, Ana bakes pies for a living, get your mind out of the gutter.

She’d be willing to hand over everything tied up in a big red bow, there’s just one problem; Elijah has secrets dirtier than last week’s underwear. Secrets that won't just break Ana’s heart, but put her life at risk, too. When those secrets come to light, their relationship is pushed to breaking point.

Add to that a psychotic nympho best friend, an overbearing father, a cuter than humanly possible kid brother, a wanton womanizing cousin, the ex from hell, and more pies than you could poke a ... err ... stick ... at.

And you thought small towns were boring.

Welcome to Sugartown.

*Content Warning. Intended for a mature 18+ audience. Contains explicit sex, oodles of profanity and a crap-tonne of AWKWARD.

I was really excited to read this book, and in the beginning I wasn't let down. It was hilarious.  I was laughing myself silly and then dang it the story took a turn I was not expecting.  Without giving anything away, my emotions were all over the place - from laughing, crying, totally pissed, annoyed and AHHHH!!!

For the last decade, he has carried that guilt and need for vengeance around… until it was stripped from him. Now, with his best friend getting married and no longer needing his protection, he is even more lost, completely adrift, and desperate for some control. All he has ever known was how to protect: his family, his friends, and his country. Can he go against everything he has ever known, and give up that control?

Melissa Larson will never let anyone hold the reins in her life. She has been the rock in her family for more years than she can remember, and the fight to keep them together is her main priority right now. She has always been fiercely independent and proud.

The second Greg locks eyes with Meli, he knows that she is someone he needs. Someone he craves. Meli knew the second she met Greg that he would be nothing but trouble and heartache. Her life takes an unexpected turn, and that bitch Fate is back to wreak more havoc on another member of the Corps family.

All hell breaks loose, leaving Greg no choice but to call in a favor. He hooks back up with his old friend Braxxon Breaker from the Breakneck MC. Together, they make sure that nothing threatens anyone Greg loves again.

Hallelujah!!!!  Greg Cage finally gets his happily ever after.  He was such a strong support character in Axel (Corps Security #1), and I couldn't wait to read his story.  I was not disappointed.

Last Hit by Jessica Clare and Jen Frederick

Nikolai:

I have been a contract killer since I was a boy. For years I savored the fear caused by my name, the trembling at the sight of my tattoos. The stars on my knees, the marks on my fingers, the dagger in my neck, all bespoke of danger. If you saw my eyes, it was the last vision you’d have. I have ever been the hunter, never the prey. With her, I am the mark and I am ready to lie down and let her capture me. Opening my small scarred heart to her brings out my enemies. I will carry out one last hit, but if they hurt her, I will bring the world down around their ears.

Daisy:

I’ve been sheltered from the outside world all my life. Homeschooled and farm-raised, I’m so naive that my best friend calls me Pollyanna. I like to believe the best in people. Nikolai is part of this new life, and he’s terrifying to me. Not because his eyes are cold or my friend warns me away from him, but because he’s the only man that has ever seen the real me beneath the awkwardness. With him, my heart is at risk..and also, my life.

From the first page, I was hooked and couldn't put this book down.

Sophia, beautiful and deadly, has spent the last hundred years dancing her way through the balmy nights and hot-blooded men of South America.

Torn by Kim Karr

Rock star River Wilde brought Dahlia London back from the brink of hopelessness with his unwavering love and devotion. But their entangled history is about to test the strength of their relationship…

Dahlia was certain she had found true love and met her "Once in a Lifetime’ when she reconnected with River. But Dahlia’s world comes crashing down when someone from her past resurfaces, and all of River’s carefully hidden secrets are exposed.
                                                               
River wants to show Dahlia that life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass—it’s about dancing in the rain. But how many times can one broken heart be mended?  Will River and Dahlia be able to stay together or will they be torn apart?

5 Rockin' Stars!!!

I couldn't wait to read this book.  If you haven't read Connected (Connections #1) you should before reading this.  After the way the first book ended, I needed this book badly.  Patience isn't one of my many virtues. 

The story picks up where it left off and River and Dahlia are getting ready to go to Las Vegas to get married when a phone call stops their plan and everything changes in a blink of an eye.  Ben is alive! 

Dahlia and River's relationship is put to a test with this new revelation.  As tempers fly - Ben wanting to hold on to his girl and River denying she ever was:

"She's mine.  You don't deserve her, you never did,"

Kim Karr takes us on an emotional journey of lies, betrayal, and finding what true love is all about.  I praise Kim for painting a vivid picture of all that Dahlia faced in Torn.  The story fascinated me.  I could feel the emotions Dahlia was going through and I wanted her to succeed and find her happily ever after. 

"River, it's always been you. From the minute I saw you at the bar, I think it's always been you.  I never even set a wedding date with Ben and maybe that was why.  Because you were the one for me, you are the one for me."

River is a sexy, rock-star.  He loves Dahlia.  He always puts her feelings above everything else.  He protects her from painful truths that happened in the past that would only hurt her to have the knowledge of it.  This becomes another hurdle for them to overcome. 

"Brigitte told me once that in France they don't say I missed you, they say you were missing from me, and you were."

River and Dahlia are soul mates:

"Okay baby, okay.  But a beautiful thing is never perfect," he whispers...

Swoon worthy! I absolutely love River! 

We are given closure in this book and it was more than I anticipated.  Highly recommend! This was a great book. From the moment I started reading this series, I was hooked and couldn't put my Kindle down. Thank you so much, Kim Karr for a beautiful story.  I can't wait for the next book - Mended (Connections #3).
