Synopsis:

From #1 New York Times Bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes the third book in the bestselling Eagle Elite Series...

“As burns this saint, so burns my soul. I enter alive, and I will have to get out dead.”

Chase Winter let the love of his life slip through his fingers and into the hands of his best friend and mafia boss of the Abandanato family. Now that he's been given a second chance to right a wrong--he refuses to let his own selfishness stand in the way. The only problem? He's not fully in possession of his heart, so when Mil De Lange, the girl who's innocence he stole, and heir to the worst of the worst mafia families in the US, asks him for a favor. He actually says yes, not realizing that that one yes has the power to destroy them all.

Mil's been in love with Chase as long as she can remember, but as the years went by, the love turned to hate, and now that he's agreed to help her, she's wondering if she made a fatal error. Because Chase isn't a teenager anymore. He's a hot blooded male, bent on owning every part of her body and soul, and willing to kill anyone in his path who dares stand in the way.

It's time for secrets to finally be revealed...but make no mistake, it's going to take a lot of bloodshed for those truths to be discovered.

You've never read a New Adult Mafia story like this before...loyalties will be tested, lovers reunited, and friendships obliterated. Welcome to the Family. Blood in--No out.

Excerpt 

By the time I got back to the room, Chase was in the bathroom. The shower was running, and I could have sworn I heard him singing some sort of Frank Sinatra song, but it’s entirely possible I made it up. Trace hadn’t been the only one drinking wine.

With a flourish I fell across the bed and let out a huge sigh — the type of sigh a girl lets out when she’s trying to let the person next to her know that something’s not right.

Lucky me. All I had was a wall.

Right, so I was sighing at a damn wall.

I sighed again.

Well, no time like the present. I wasn’t sure which side of Chase I was going to get tonight. The hot-as-hell arrogant asshole, who made me want to slap him almost as much as I wanted to kiss him? Or the funny, easy-going, hormonal teenager, who had left earlier this evening after staring at my boobs like he was twelve?

I smirked at the thought. Me and my sigh would take either one. The water turned off in the bathroom. The door swung open. I glanced and almost fell off the bed.

Chase naked.

Chase. Was. Naked.

Clearly he wasn’t aware that I was in the room. He didn’t turn, just ran the fluffy white towel around his dripping body. Licking my lips, I felt my pulse jump as he wiped a few droplets that streamed down his face. Damn, I wanted to run my tongue along the trails the water created. My breathing picked up — and I swore under my breath as that same towel ran down his ridiculously tight abs. I was completely wrecked, my body strung so tight I was afraid to keep breathing — afraid that it was too loud — and I didn’t want the show to end.

“How were the girls?” Chase asked without turning around.

Aw, crap. Embarrassed, I cleared my throat and scolded my eyes for continuing to remain on his muscled body. Just one more look, I promised myself, and then I’d be fine.

“Good.” I continued my bold stare. His ass was fine. Seriously. Fine.

“You get some wine and food?” he asked, wrapping the towel around his waist. Bummer.

“Yup,” I squeaked, my voice sounding all kinds of immature.

“So,” he padded over to the bed and sat, “dinner and a show, huh?”

“I, uh—” Laughing, I scooted away from him toward the pillows. “I was going to say something, but—”

“Cut the shit, Mil.” Chase smirked. “You were ogling.”

“Girls don’t ogle.”

“Oh?” That gorgeously perfect idiotic face mocked me with every ounce of hotness. Damn Chase Winter. Damn beautiful man. God should have at least taken pity on the female race and made him short or fat or anything but what I was staring at. A muscled god with dark skin, bright green eyes, and a smile that made a girl immediately want to do anything she could to trap him into marriage.

“What’cha thinking about?” He smirked again.

~Review~

Chase Winters is not only hot, but he is loyal and protective. This is why Mil chooses him to marry her. I suppose Chase could have said no but when something is asked of him he does it no questions asked. Things about Mil unfold throughout the story and what a story she has. I was put off for a bit at how fast Chase got over Trace and fell in love with Mil but as he explains things it makes sense. Chase and Mil have a past and, unfortunately, things did not work out for them then, but Chase is determined to make it right now. Some hot, steamy sex scenes. Lots of bloodshed and drama. The ending is a doozy and leaves you wanting to know what in the world is up with Tex.

A good girl...a bad boy...an enduring love. 

Who knew wrong could feel so right? 

Siena Lazio never saw him coming, she never thought a reckless badass and notorious playboy could ever steal her heart. But when it came to Harrison Davies, the irresistibly charming and insanely handsome Formula One driver, she was proven wrong. Very wrong. 

In spite of media blackmail, her family's vehement hate, and an explosive rivalry, Siena and Harrison overcame incredible odds to find each other's hearts. This is the last piece of their story, one filled with secrets and angst, unbridled passion, new-found hope, and unwavering love. 

Although their journey has reached its final lap, what lies around the last turn is even more exciting than either of them could have imagined. And like all great love stories, the heartache was worth it in the end... 

****************

Amazing series. This installment was sad, exciting & a little frustrating.  The most frustrating part was Sienna's lack of being forthcoming with Harrison - I knew she had some reversions, but I do not  know how she held on to her secret for so long. Harrison & Sienna need to figure out how they are going to make it work now that the season is over. Things get crazy and a little hairy. Lots and Lots of hot steamy juicy sex.  Fabulous ending!

**************

I love love love not only this book but the series!!!

I was worried the first part of the book if Slade & Samantha were gonna make it. Sam was going through some stuff and she was having a hard time which was make her push Slade away. It takes awhile for things to get back on track but when they do hits just keep coming and someone seems to have it out for them. Sam & Slade have their up's and down's throughout the book but there's lots and lots of oh so hot sex throughout. 

Fabulous ending with some loose ends still up in the air but I will be ok until the next book "Uncontrollable" comes out.

Blue Lines

Opposites do more than just attract in Toni Aleo’s latest Nashville Assassins novel about a very bad boy and the good girl he can’t resist.

The instant Piper Allen sees Erik Titov, she wants him—wants his rock-hard body, sure, but the strength and mystery that lies behind that superstar hockey jock demeanor, too. So when he sidles up to her at a bar and slinks his arm around her waist, she’s lost. What follows is the wildest night of her life . . . followed by inevitable heartbreak the next morning. And then, a few weeks later, a very big surprise: two blue lines on a pregnancy test.

Only a check to the head could make Erik fall for a nice girl like Piper. But since their crazy-sexy night together, he’s been trying to forget about her alluring body by falling into bed with every woman in Nashville, and it’s not working. So when Piper shows up at his house with a baby-bomb to drop, it doesn’t take much for Erik to suggest the nuclear option: marriage. While it’s supposed to be all for show, the second they say “I do,” the ice between them starts to melt into sizzling steam. 

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: Taking Shots, Trying to Score, and Empty Net.

*********

This is the first book I read in "The Assassins Series" and all the couples in the previous books make an appearance in this book but it didn't ruin the other books for me so I will go back and read the first 3. 

These 2 are Novella's in the series 3.5 & 3.6

The sex happens pretty quick and nothing is detailed but things about that night come out throughout the book as that night is what starts Erik & Piper's love story. Erik well he is a prick and is not the sweetest guy to Piper. Lucky for him Piper can see through his bullshit. I think I wanted to jump through my e-reader and beat his ass the first half or more of the book.  Piper has a few issues but she is consistence with her feels for Erik. A few hot steamy sex scenes. Fabulous Story, Excellent ending. 

Lick

Waking up in Vegas was never meant to be like this.

Evelyn Thomas’s plans for celebrating her twenty-first birthday in Las Vegas were big. Huge. But she sure as hell never meant to wake up on the bathroom floor with a hangover to rival the black plague, a very attractive half-naked tattooed man, and a diamond on her finger large enough to scare King Kong. Now if she could just remember how it all happened.

One thing is for certain, being married to rock and roll’s favourite son is sure to be a wild ride.

*********

A drunk'n Vegas night might have seemed like a good idea but in the morning light it sure leads to quite the adventure for Ev. Of course I fell in love with David - he a ho, moody, rock star so what's not to love. It's a roller coaster of a love story.  Some hot steamy sex scenes. Fabulous ending.

Giving You Forever

From the moment Nolan Pratt walked into Alexa Arnold’s life everything was forever changed.  After a year of dating, the ring was on her finger, the house was purchased, and life was heading down Pleasantville Lane. Everything was perfect.

Or so they thought.

With help from his parent’s inheritance, Nolan takes on a new business adventure, utilizing all his free time.  What was once their life- carefree with minimal responsibilities, is no more. When Alexa starts to feel the pressure from school, wedding planning, and lack of help from Nolan, exhaustion kicks in and feelings get hurt, testing the strength of their relationship. But, if there is one thing that Nolan will never compromise, it’s Alexa’s happiness. There’s nothing Nolan Pratt won’t do to make sure Alexa is well taken care of, loved, and happy.

When Nolan’s past resurfaces- a past that Alexa didn’t know existed- will it all be too much?  Will Nolan’s devotion to Alexa’s happiness cost him their relationship and lose him the only thing that has ever mattered in his life?  Or will Nolan discover that his past doesn’t determine his future and he is worth the happiness he doesn’t think he deserves?

***************

Some may consider me a jack of all trades, but I consider myself well rounded. 

I’ve waitressed, styled hair, answered phones and, most recently, worked full time as mom to my two beautiful little boys. 

Then there was this book… Everyone and their brother started talking about this book series titled Fifty Shades of Grey by EL James.  I didn’t really pay attention to the craze at first, since I wasn’t a big reader- okay, I didn’t read at all.  But curiosity got the best of me, so I downloaded it to my kindle. 

 I was immediately hooked. I read the whole series in three days.  Yes, three books in three days.

 I kept finding all these great books that I HAD to read (just ask my credit card!).

 Then I started hearing voices. Voices that turned into stories; stories that were begging to get out of my head.  

I started writing them down on scraps of paper. Then I transferred them to my computer. Before I knew it,  Planning on Forever was born.

The voices in my head are still talking, so I’m still writing.

**********

The first half of this book was how in love Nolan and Alexa were - they did however have hot raunchy sex every moment possible but I was hoping for some drama! It came but not until the last quarter of the book. I knew the drama was going to involve on person but I didn't think Nolan's past was what it turned out to be and the fact that Alexa had no idea struck me as odd.  

 Fabulous ending.

Bullet

An Epic Rock Star Novel

What if you discover the man you want is toxic?

She tasted a little bit of heaven with him, and now they’ve gone through hell and back, but can their relationship take anymore?

Valerie Quinn is a naïve college freshman when she meets on-the-rise rock star Ethan Richards. He’s an idealistic, handsome, reckless young man, but he’s captured her heart. She doesn’t give up on him and eventually his walls crumble down. By the time Valerie has given herself to him completely, she discovers he’s damaged and may be beyond help. Can she save Ethan and their relationship before he implodes, or will he self-destruct and take her with him?

***************

This book goes from present tense to past tense but it's not consistent.  Now that the story is told that way you know kind of what is coming.  This book seemed to drag on for me. I really way disappointed in Val she just let Ethan treat her like crap and kept coming back for more. I was exciting to see her sexuality blossom but it never seemed to shine when she was with Ethan. I thought it was a love story about Val and Ethan but I could never in my mind see how in the world they were going have a HEA but when it got to the end it became clear it was never about Ethan but rather someone else it just took Val awhile to get to where she was suppose to be. There was some hot steamy sex sprinkled throughout the book. Great ending. I only gave it a 3 because I could wait for it to end and Val's acceptance (or turning a blind eye) of Ethan's indiscretions really just didn't sit well with me.

"As I came down, I had two thoughts in my mind. The first was I could get used to this. The other was holy shit- could I survive this?"

Under the Mistletoe

I wasn't going to read this book because it didn't really sound all that "Hot" to me but then I saw the blurb for "Play With Me" which is due out March 1st. so I figured I needed to read all of them in order just so I knew who all the characters were.

They have a beautiful new baby girl, Isaac’s construction business is thriving, and Stacy enjoys being a stay at home mom, reviewing sexy romance novels for her blog. With a very large extended family, and the many privileges they enjoy, Stacy will be the first to admit that they are blessed beyond measure. 

When suspicious phone calls and text messages begin, Stacy questions Isaac’s faithfulness for the first time in their marriage. She knows that a new baby brings changes into a relationship, but has the stress of parenthood sent Isaac into another woman’s arms, threatening to destroy their marriage?

This With Me In Seattle novella shows us a glimpse into Jules’ brother, Isaac, and his wife Stacy’s lives, introduces us to some new characters, and reminds us of what it means to reconnect with the person you love the most, even if they never left in the first place.

**************

So I know I put this book off and I did so because it was everything I expected it to be "Fluff" which don't get me wrong is fine and dandy for some but I like a bit more spice- Luckily it's a short book. Misunderstandings lead to some hurt feelings and a revamp on their marriage. Hot sex. Great ending.
