The fascinating beauty is clearly a vampire hunter and is used to fending for herself, but Asher believes it is too coincidental that they both received emails to go to the same place. Deciding he needs more information he makes a deal with Jo to figure out who is behind the mysterious email but Jo has plans of her own which do not include Asher. Asher though fro the first time in centuries feels a pull to Jo that has him wanting to stay by her side. Could there be an enemy out there that he can't see and will Jo be a weakness he can't afford?
This was wonderful, Asher radiates alpha male but he is also a bit aloof which makes him very charismatic.

Daphne Ryan is heading to Duncroft House to meet her sisters boyfriend's family. The family is as well known as the house, which has a sordid history Daphne Ryan is heading to Duncroft House to meet her sisters boyfriend's family. The family is as well known as the house, which has a sordid history and a handful of mysterious deaths over the centuries. From the moment Daphne arrives and eerie feeling follows her. She is not sure what it is but when Ian Alcott it enhances. Ian is a bit of a playboy according to the press, a definite flirt and he is doing his best to show Daphne he is interested. When a couple of instances target Daphne, Ian is by her side and although Daphne is a strong woman, Ian is not letting her out of his sight.
Immensely fun. You had the romance but while that is a part of the story the main story is the history of the house. Several twists and turns that were unexpected. I really enjoyed Daphne, she says what she feels even when it is not delicate. Ian was a force to be reckoned with. Terrific chemistry between the two. ...more
Kit "Snow/Breaker" Stone has finished his time in the military and the demons have been full force in his head, not to mention being part of the SpeedKit "Snow/Breaker" Stone has finished his time in the military and the demons have been full force in his head, not to mention being part of the Speed Demons MC and always feeling disconnected to his father and brothers. When he sees the love of his life Kennedy "Kitten" at the chapel where his close friend is getting married, his world is rocked. He reacts and it makes his MC aware of the fact they have not looked after their brother and he needs help. Breaker wants a second chance with Kennedy but he has a long road ahead with fixing what is broken within him and gaining back Kennedy's trust. Can Kennedy learn to trust him again?
Tear jerker, everyone for the most part in the Speed Demons thought Breaker was the good time boy partying without a care in the world while he was fragmented and haunted by the things he did and saw in war. His story is heart wrenching at times. I have to give Kennedy credit because she could have just walked away and left him behind, instead she offers support as a friend but at the same time doesn't just give in and sweep everything under the rug. She becomes his anchor and their story is truly breathtaking to read. A rocky road but worth every moment....more

Seeing him again is a punch to the gK.C never thought she would see Chamberlain Lawrence again, the man known as The Predator when he is in the ring. Seeing him again is a punch to the gut and it has K.C. remembering the past and how they got to where they are now.
K.C. had her life planned out, not a life she wanted but was expected of her and she hated it. She had a plan to find her own path away from her wealthy political family. Pressure mounts though as she finds herself falling hard for the wrong man, Chamberlain, at least the wrong man in the eyes of her parents. She is ready to give everything up for Chamberlain but is he willing to do the same?
Riveting. I was not sure quite what to expect with this one, but it exceeded my expectations. I felt for K.C. she had such a rigid grin and bear it life and to see her blossom into herself was wonderful. I am so anxious to read the next book, can't wait....more

His gruff attitude takes no prisoners so he is beyond ticked when one of his runs has money missing. Finding Quinn O'Malley in the center of it has his irritation fueling at an all time high. She is a surprise and nothing like the criminal element he surrounds himself with. The thing with Quinn though is she ends up surprising him and now he has her targeted. When he finds her he makes a move that surprises everyone, even himself.
If I could have imagined someone for Rogue it was not Quinn and I loved it. Quinn is brilliant and she has a way of talking herself into things that she shouldn't, testing Rogue at every turn. This was a complete delight, did not want this book to end....more

Garrett Jacobi sees Alyssa Archer when she comes to town to make a deal with him, he knows she is his one. Garrett realizes there are layers to Alyssa and he is all in. Now he has to figure out how to get Alyssa to agree to be his wife and navigate through the rough waters heading their way.
This was fun, at times Alyssa is OTT but you get it when Garrett helps break it down. Garrett is pure charisma and so loyal to Alyssa, he is all in and yet he is sensitive enough not to overwhelm Alyssa when she feels panicked. Another great one has a few favorites from other books in this one....more

With Thomas Crowell by his side he has Thomas begin to an inquisition into Anne's behavior during their marriage as well as before. Now King Henry VII has set his sights on the biddable Jane Seymour.
This was a fascinating sequel to Wolf Hall. There are so many questions about what really happened with Anne Boleyn. Behind the scenes with Cromwell navigating the King's bidding was hard to read at times as you see the Boleyn family fall. Really well written, now I need to read the final book....more

Highly entertaining. It is a bit dated in some sense with the way things were tolerated back then but shouldn't have been. Kay is a strong woman who you find yourself compelled to understand. Interesting dynamics throughout the whole story. Edge of you seat thriller....more

Cormac was told to stay away from Jack's case but something is not quite right about the cases and Cormac is determined to solve the case before it is too late.
A twisted tale that you think the story is going one way and then it veers to another. Edge of your seat thriller. One thing I thought was intriguing was the dynamic in the DCI's station, this story explored some of the complexities of the hierarchy and different styles of being a detective....more

I really enjoyed this one, liked the pacing, the characters and the way the story unfolded. Morgan could have easily threw in the towel, she was such a strong woman who I thought was a perfect match for Miles. The story was riddled with heartbreak, humor, romance and intrigue. Terrific book....more

When Kyran Rousseau arrives in her town she feels a link to him that is unmatched with anything she has ever felt before but for some reason Kyran is nice one moment and then distant in other moments.
Kyran knows Marjorie is his mate but as a twin and the son with a genetic defect he knows that he cannot pursue his mate. The pull is strong though and there is a threat that is coming that has everyone trying to protect Marjorie who is struggling with the secrets that are unfolding around her.
This was great, what a uniquely different shifter story. I was pulled in right away, found Kyran a bit broody and had a darker charismatic vibe in the story. Marjorie was a girl who I definitely wanted to know more about. I definitely want more for this series. So many complex plot points I want to see how they pan out....more
