An unexpected phone call heralds a new challenge for Mercy. Her mate Adam’s ex-wife is in trouble, on the run from her new boyfriend. Adam isn’t the kind of man to turn away a person in need—and Mercy knows it. But with Christy holed up in Adam’s house, Mercy can’t shake the feeling that something about the situation isn’t right.

Soon, her suspicions are confirmed when she learns that Christy has the farthest thing from good intentions. She wants Adam back and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen, including turning Adam’s pack against Mercy.

Mercy isn’t about to step down without a fight, but there’s a more dangerous threat circling. Christy’s ex is more than a bad man—in fact, he may not be human at all.

Blurb from goodreads:

Royce Walker, a former FBI Agent, who’s opened a private security firm with his brothers, has always had the hots for the prim, proper Assistant District Attorney, but considered her hand’s off because of a family connection. However, when danger threatens Lauren, he isn’t willing to stand by and watch her get hurt. Now the passion for survival is only rivaled by the passion burning between them. And that passion, might just be the death of them both.

CarolKat's Thoughts:

Lauren Reynolds is a beautiful brunette assistant DA, her best friend Julie is a blond bombshell divorce attorney and instigator. We meet these two beauties at Lauren’s fathers birthday party where they are discussing Lauren’s need (or not) to find a man. Therein we find one of my favorite conversations in this book, a description of Royce Walker just before he is introduced to Lauren.

“He’s your midnight fantasy,” she said, a wicked smile on her lips. “Or so a certain brunette told me just last weekend, after a few glasses of wine.”

Royce Walker. She was talking about Royce Walker. Lauren’s throat went dry at the mention of the sexy State Security Advisor who also ran a private security company with his two brothers. And, most definitely, had been the object of her ‘midnight fantasies’ on more than one occasion.

“He’s here tonight?”

“Over here, Royce!” Julie called out, and then grinned. “He’s not only here, he’s headed our way. You can thank me later.”

Thus begins this tale of political intrigue, high profile death penalty cases, sprinkled with hang-up calls and notes implying the worst.

Royce and Lauren begin a relationship. But, Royce has a secret, one that if told, would make keeping her safe impossible.

Adding to this, her father is a Senator with a controlling trophy wife, an ambitious Step-brother and an ex-fiancé. All who have their own delusions of what Lauren should being doing and with whom. 

Another wonderfully hot, sexy, twisted plot from Lisa Renee Jones, earns another five stars from me.

Blurb from Goodreads:

This set includes 3 full sized novels (195,000 words)

The Walker Brothers…

Tall, dark, and deadly, these three brothers run Walker security. Each brother is unique in his methods and skills, but all share key similarities. They are passionate about those they love, relentless when fighting for a cause they believe in, and all believe that no case is too hard, no danger too dark. Dedication is what they deliver, results are their reward.


Book 0.5 Secrets Exposed

Her enemy is her passion, her passion is her enemy.

Lindsey Paxton was once the number one defense attorney in New York. She fought for those who were innocent, but charged. Her instincts were her lifeline, never failing her, as they guided her in her choices of who to defend. Or so she thought. Until she won a case she would forever wish to have lost. Her client, an accused rapist, kills and rapes a woman only a day after being set free. Destroyed by her role in the woman's death, Lindsey blames her father's controlling ways for what she has become, and runs from her career and life. Years later - the past becomes the present . . . Her father has cancer, and Lindsey is forced to leave her career with the Washington branch of the FBI. She finds herself facing the responsibility of running her father's law firm with the reluctant help of hotshot attorney Mark Reeves, a man who sparks her temper while also managing to tempt her body, her mind, maybe even her heart. With his help she finds herself fighting the emotional battles of the past, tempted to trust both him and her instincts. Now, faced with a case inherited from her father so similar to her career-ending one, she now must decide if her instincts will lead her down the path to saving an innocent man or setting free another killer. But while she fights her own battles, someone watches, wanting from the past what he had failed to get the first time . . . Lindsey.

Blog Tour: CarolKat Interviews Romance Author Taryn Kincaid

I would like to thank Taryn Kincaid for taking out valuable time from her parasailing up and down the Hudson River to celebrate the release of Heat Wave the latest in her 1Night Stand series.  I also appreciate her adjusting the tin foil to throw the CIA (Culinary Institute of America) off her trail while she answers my interview questions. I think they are after me too.

Read my review of "Heat Wave" here and then enter the giveaway.

Taryn is an Olympic caliber athlete egg roller and spends a great deal of her time petitioning the U.S.O.C. to introduce a fantail shrimp competition. When she's not bungee jumping off the Palisades or parasailing up and down the Hudson River, she devotes her time to caring for her aging pet walrus, arranging her voodoo doll-pin collection and practicing rhythmic chants. At this moment, she is busy sweeping up the loose masala chai tea leaves she spilled all over the kitchen floor. (Probably because she needs COFFEE.) Wait. Is that something…sparkly?

Taryn hangs around a lot on Facebook and Twitter with her trillions of fans and pops in at Goodreads from time to time. You can catch her on her website, http://tarynkincaid.com, and her blog, http://dreamvoyagers.blogspot.com where she lives for comments! She implores you to buy her books so she can retire.

Blurb from goodreads:

Mandy Malone ditches her pharmaceutical convention and the married male colleagues hitting on her to hurry home to her waiting family. But she doesn’t bank on the blizzard that forces her off the road and into a deserted rest stop. When she meets another road refugee, their attraction is immediate and molten hot. Suddenly, getting stranded doesn’t seem like such bad luck after all.

Although totally unprepared for Mandy’s unvarnished proposition, Jack is intrigued by the erotic offer of a promising night of no-questions-asked sex. But when he notices the wedding band on Mandy’s finger, will he forego the lure of a torrid clandestine affair, or give in to the fantasy of blazing hot sex on a wintry night? 

CarolKat's Thoughts:

This is the most awesome, get stuck in a blizzard story I have ever read. Taryn has taken the hot, sexy one night stand to a whole new level in Blizzard. I could feel the cold of the blizzard and Mandy's fear as she looks for a safe place to stop in the blinding snow. I felt her relief as she saw the rest stop. Stranded with no charger for her cell phone Mandy is rummaging through her purse when approached by Jack. This is one of my favorite scenes in this book.

"Is this what you're looking for lady?"

Mandy glanced up, startled by the deep, rumbling baritone that echoed loudly in the fairly quiet building. And even more startled by the tall, gorgeous hunk of manhood bundled into a down parka standing next to her table.

From here the heat goes up, and you'll find yourself smoldering right along with them.

The ending is totally unexpected and shocked the living daylights out of me. I think my mouth is still hanging open.

This is definitely a must read! Bravo, Taryn!

Waiting for Taryn's next project is a torture I am willing to bear. I know she has something quite tantalizing in store for us.

Book Blurb from goodreads:

 Dagney Night, a sought-after succubus, is no stranger to blazing hot sex. But as Valentine’s Day approaches, she longs for something more. When oddly erotic paintings arrive for display at her art gallery, arousing everyone who views them, she wonders about the mysterious artist who created the works.

Maxwell Raines, a fire-sex demon, lives a life of solitude and seclusion behind the walls of his compound at Sleepy Hollow, channeling his lustful impulses into his art—until his muse deserts him and his temperature rises past the danger point. He needs sex. Now.

When Madame Evangeline arranges a torrid Valentine’s 1Night Stand for them, will the flames of their encounter be too hot to handle?

Reviewed by: Carol. Carol was raving about this book over on facebook so I asked her if she's write up a review and she agreed. 

Carol's Thoughts:

Dagney Night is a bored succubus and Gallery owner. Maxwell Raines is a reclusive, talented artist and a Fire Demon.

When Dagney sees the response to Maxwell's paintings she decides she needs a real date and contacts 1Night Stand to set something up.

When Maxwell finds out it is Dagney who is hosting his show, he rejects the idea of a public meet at the Gallery Party. He also contacts 1Night Stand but to set up a private party for him and Dagney on that night.

Dagney had just about given up on him when he finally shows up. Everyone has departed except for Dagney's sister who is on her way out the door.

One of my favorite lines in this book is when Dagney decribes Maxwell's work to him:

"Oh, yeah. Your work talks. Like a bullhorn in a library reading room."

As we watch these two delightful characters sort out their individual issues the sparks start flying. It's steamy...let me rephrase that... HOT with hints of romance.

Not too far fetched to think a HEA may be brewing going forward.

I couldn't put this down once I started reading and read it again to warm up with all the snow.

I give this read 5 stars. Bravo,Taryn! I am looking forward to the release of "Blizzard".
