This series was not what I expected when I began to read it. The Wolf’s Bounty: Hinterland Series Book 1, drew me in and I wanted more. Book 2 was just as enthralling for me. It moved at a great pace and my interest just kept getting piqued throughout. This series seems to be a mixture of historical, romance, dystopian, and fantasy, to me. It’s different than a lot of books that I have read in the recent past.

Bishop and Raleigh are great together, they work well together as well as play off each other very well. The mystery surrounding Dax’s abilities is a great motivation to keep reading, but we still don’t know his history or his paternity. I look forward to reading more of this series to find out what will happen next.

I look forward to reading more of Raleigh’s story and hope that things end well for her and Bishop. I look forward to finding out Dax’s parentage and his abilities. I give this book a 5 star review. I hope to read more soon.

WOW! I could read this book all day long and not get enough of Rafael DeMarco! This is one hot book and Rafe is one hot, brooding, sexy man. His instincts take a back seat when he meets Diana though. Not by choice, but because he can’t see past the attraction that draws him to her and makes him want to protect her.

A man who retired from being a spy and enforcer wants to have a normal life. He works for his brother in-law in Blake Securities, putting his training from the FBI and ORUS to work in a private sector. However, one of his cases from that period has come back to haunt him, and he isn’t aware of how bad that can be yet.

Diana Vandergraff is a woman who has lived for revenge since the night her father was killed while she was in the house. She is close to getting that revenge, but once she meets Rafael and gets to know him she finds that revenge is not as sweet as she thought it would be. She finds that her life may not be what she thought it was either.

This is the first story I have read of the Blake Security men, but I will go back and read the Shameless Trilogy and the Force Duet, because damn, these guys are awesome! I look forward to reading more of Rafael and Diana’s story too.

Magdalena (Maggie) Holt, a DEA Agent undercover in a Cartel who is in danger and a has become a captive, is working very hard to get back home and take down the man who has taken her a prisoner and intends to sell her to the highest bidder.

Adam O’Connor, Maggie’s partner in the DEA and former lover, is beside himself that Maggie has been gone for so long and that they cannot locate her to bring her home. HIs SAC Amanda Rhinehold wants nothing more than to bring Agent Holt home as well, but she is a woman who is in charge and has to follow protocol to do it. She is trying to get Agent O’Connor off the case because she feels he is too close to it. Adam is sure that once Maggie gets back home they can work things out and get back together, but he’s confused because he’s attracted to his SAC.

This is the 6th book in Jacquie Biggar’s Wounded Hearts Series and is the first one I have read in the series. I wish I had read the stories in order from the first one to this one, but it did not retract from the story as Ms. Biggar gives a lot of back story to understand what is going on. I really enjoyed this story and enjoy reading Ms. Biggar’s books. They are well written and the characters feel like someone you would meet on the streets and like as a person if you talked to them and got to know them.

If you like a strong men and very strong willed women and enjoy a story where the heroine hides her fear when doing her job, but always has to win, then you will love this book. I give this story a 5 star review, and I look forward to going back and reading the other stories in this series.

Such a great story. This is a different Billionaire Love story. In most of them, the Billionaire seems to be broken from something that happened in his childhood, but in this story, the thing that broke Nick was losing Lia.

Nick is just existing in his life until his friend makes him go out with him one night to a club. Nick really has no interest in being there, but he couldn’t stand the thought of staying home alone on this night either. He’s never been to Bound before, and he is not impressed with the place, but the bar tender is a different story all together. Maybe he is alive after all.

Sofia is working to pay for her college and to keep her little sister from having to work to get through college. Now she is almost done her undergrad degree and her sister is done with hers and ready to go out on her own to get her Masters degree and make a life for herself, in Germany. Sofia is sad that her sister is leaving her, but she is happy for her little sister. Gina wants to live a little before she moves to Germany to begin studying and working her butt off. The problem is the guy she wants to do this with. He’s not who she thinks he is and she ends up in more trouble than she is prepared for.

Nick’s past comes back to hurt him and Sofia gets drug into the danger because she is attracted to Nick and there is something there that they both want to pursue. However, they have to survive before they can see what is ahead for them, and they have to prove that they are the good guys.

If you like the Billionaire love stories, but with a bit of a twist, then this is a great book to pick up and read. I highly recommend it.

Wow, what a story! This story was full of feels and horror for me. I enjoyed the book, but found myself making faces at times. It is a well written crime thriller. The characters are very well formed and they pull you into the story completely.

A small town in Massachusetts is being terrorized by a killer who is brutal and very organized. The police are stumped and have no leads as to who the killer is. A well seasoned detective and a young detective are partnered to investigate and they work very well together, even though most of the precinct does not want to work with the seasoned detective, Bruce Marklin. He is a detective who has seen too much death, but his mind works like a computer and he is very good at what he does. There are few cases that he works on that are solved. This case is a challenge for him and his partner, Jocelyn Beaudette is also good at her job and she has a lot of barriers to overcome since she is a woman, a mom, and a young detective.

Aaron Pimental is a street cop who is not happy with his job, and has struggled with depression since he was a teen. Can he make his life have meaning and find anything in his job to make him happy? It seems as though his life is just a big screw up. He tries, but everything is against him.

I read this book in one day, it was too good to put down. It drew me in from the first page and kept my interest throughout the entire story. It did leave me with a few questions though. If you like a book to draw you in and keeps you turning the pages until the end, then you should read this book. I give this book a 5 star review.

Sergei is a damaged young man who’s only thoughts in life are revenge for his pain and treatment as a boy. He wants to make sure that everyone involved pays for the pain and torture that he and his brother and his friends from childhood went through.

Willow is a young woman who is born into a family that makes their money off of others pain. She is a pawn in Sergei’s revenge, until he has her and realizes that she is the only person who can keep the darkness at bay.

In the concluding book of this series Willow’s true strength and self come out. She is now working to save the women who are being taken and sold. She has to prove to herself that Sergei is the man that she thinks he is and the man that she loves. Sergei needs to keep her safe at all costs.

Willow’s past will come back to haunt her in this book, and she will find her peace in the end.

This was a very good story. I loved reading the entire series and found myself having all the feels in this series. It drew me in so much that the ending was too soon. If you like dark romance with some twists and a strong alpha male who will do anything for the woman he loves, you need to get this series. I also loved the ending of this story. I give it a 5 star rating.

Rocco, a man who works for the mob as an enforcer. He’s not a man who can have a relationship, feel, or have a normal life. That became apparent when he turned ten years old. His adoptive father showed him the world he was a part of and he broke Rocco.

Grace, a young girl who watched her mother die in her arms at eight years old. Lived in a world that she was sheltered from. Her father is part of the Mob, but she has no idea until she is a teenager and sees for herself the world that she has been raised it. She can’t handle it and decides she needs to get away from her family.

Wow! What a read. I loved this story and I love Rocco! I would love to have Rocco in my life. This is a story of second chance, it has angst, crime, drama, love, and lust. It keeps the pages turning and keeps the reader very interested. The characters are well formed and they are very enjoyable to read about. I love that Grace has grown into a woman who knows who she is and has taken charge of her life and is ready to take on whatever is thrown at her. She is a bad ass and I love that.

This was my first read of this series, but now that I have met Luca and Nico in this one, I think I need to go back to read their stories too. I really like this story and I look forward to reading more in the near future. Sarah Castille has done a great job with this series.

Saving Red is “A Naughty Bests & Filthy Princess Romance”, as stated on the cover of the book. A different Billionaire Love Story. The Billionaire is a young girl who falls in love with the handyman who works for her grandmother. She fell in love with Ash when she was a teenager, but she is twenty-three when she comes back home and gets her man.

Ella gets word that her grandmother has passed while she is in Europe studying for her college courses. She comes back to her grandmothers estate and finds that Ash still works there. He still acts like she is a child too. When her grandmother’s lawyer shows up to go over things with her she finds him to be very attractive, and she also finds this a chance to see where Ash really stands when it comes to her.

Ash works for Ella’s grandmother because he needs the money for his family. The lawyer that Ella meets is part of Ash’s past too, and he knows how Jared, the lawyer, is only out to get what he wants. Ash has to save Red, Ella, from danger now, just like he did when she was a teenager.

This was a short sexy read, and I really enjoyed it. If you are looking for a hot, short read, this is a great choice. I give this story a 4.5 star review.

A beautiful Billionaire love story. Aidan Thornhill is a billionaire who likes his privacy, shares his wealth with those who need it most, and is very down to earth. He is in search of a PA to help plan and run the gala’s that he has to raise money for the various charities that he runs to help the needy. His Aunt is his closest confidant and works with him in running his charities.

Clarissa Moone has been contacted by an employment agency to go to an interview for the position. She was just an after thought by the company, but she was very hopeful that she would get the job. Clarissa is an eccentric 21 year old, she has a degree in Art History, and is a caring thoughtful person. She is not a woman to watch the media, or gossip rags about celebrities. So when she goes to the interview, she is not aware of who the man is that she will be working for, until she gets home and talks with her roommate and best friend since childhood, Tabitha, who knows about everyone.

I loved this story and the characters really drew me in. I love Aidan and Clarissa, but Greta and Julian add so much to this story as well. They are the people who help to make Aidan and Clarissa who they are as adults. They care for them and they are very much a part of their lives.

I look forward to reading more of the Thornhill Trilogy in the coming year. JJ Sorel is a new to me author and I look forward to reading more of her stories.

A different read for me, with a different twist at the end. Not what I expected at all.

Keller is looking to get pay back for his father’s sentencing after a heist gone wrong with the murder of an ex judge. He wants retribution for his father taking the fall for the disaster that occurred that day in NC.

Rebecca wants answers as to where her parents are and what happened to them. When she begins to dig around in old newspapers she only ends up with more questions.

This book goes back and forth between years with the history of what happened and present day. The story is well written and the back and forth between the years is done well.

This thriller will keep you hoping for the best for both of these young people who are thrown into this predicament because of their parents. This story shows that things aren’t always as they seem and that we may not always have the power to make our lives out to be what we hope for. I give this story a 4.5 star review. Although, the end left me with more questions than answers.
