Lyric has gone out of her way to avoid everything Holt, but they keep running into one another and she makes sure he knows to stay away.
Holt knows he made a mistake, he can't stop thinking about Lyric and wants to make it right. He wants her but everyone thinks Holt is the town hero when he feels he failed on one of his last cases. Can he get Lyric to give him a second chance or will it be too late?
I really enjoyed this one. Lyric is different then a lot of this author's character. She won me over in the first chapter when she told off Holt. I thought the pacing was wonderful, a bit of a slow burn after the initial hookup. So many excellent books in this series and this is a favorite for sure.

Emerald is the best mechanic in town and really the best illegal car racer. She tries to keep off the radar making it easier to win. There is a group Emerald is the best mechanic in town and really the best illegal car racer. She tries to keep off the radar making it easier to win. There is a group of men though she does her best to stay away from, a group of four known as Savage Shadows. They are ruthless in acquiring drivers whether they want to join them or not. Her latest race ends with her a winner but does not go unnoticed and Slate Saxe, the head of the Savage Shadows, makes it real clear she is on radar.
Slate needs Emerald for a job, he and his other Savage Shadows brothers have a plan in place to get her to agree. What Slate did not expect is Emerald is good at evasion, she is not rattled by his tactics and she certainly does not keep her mouth shut. Slate decides that Emerald is going to be more of a job, he plans to keep her. She is perfect for him and he plans to break her, but Emerald has no plans to agree to anything.
It's a battle of the wills with sizzling chemistry for this story. Emerald is full of sass, which I think at times throws Slate off but he is so cold in demeanor it's hard to tell. I really liked Slate once you got to know him under his hardened exterior but as the story unfolds you begin to understand. I was completely entertained and could not put this story down....more

Devlin intends to claim Diamond as his but he is not aware of who her father is. A war is about to start over the woman who is quickly claiming his heart, who will win?
This was fun, a bit rushed but overall entertaining. I thought Diamond was a bit too naïve though at least for me. She grows under Devlin and the chemistry is there. Good story....more

His story was fantastic and I was really intrigued by Aspen and Luke. So many wonderful characters in this series. Can't wait for the next book....more

This series just keeps getting better and better. This was a bit different then the first two as Beast and Tori have a history together. I like the direction the story is going and am anxious for the next book, normally I don't read the .5's in series but I am definitely picking this one up as I am worried I will miss something....more

This was a surprise. I was wondering the back story for Karissa and it was mind blowing Razor is a new favorite, he is brash, determined and pure alpha male. There is so much to this story that I am not even delving into but holy moly was this intense....more

A medieval story that has a bit of everything in it.
Overall it was a good story but it definitely was a struggle to get through as the context of some of the words in the story are completely different then today's meaning. There are several times I found I had to look a word up as I had never seen it before. A bit slow in places but if wanting to explore classics worth picking up....more

Whirlwind action that takes place all of the world. The story reminded me a bit of DaVinci Code meets National Treasure. The character I was most captivated with was Cal, there is just something about his character that drew me in from the very beginning. The story has a lot of scientific references which is not one of my strong suits in understanding some of it but overall I thought the book was intriguing and unique from other books I read.
