Dreaming of the Wolf by Terry Spear
Promotional Price: $1.99

A FIERCE HUNTER...

Alicia Greiston is a no-nonsense bounty hunter determined to bring a ring of mobsters to justice. Her dogged pursuit of the crime family has forced her to avoid relationships— any man would only become a target for retribution. Luckily, Jake Silver is more than a man, and his instincts are telling him to stop at nothing to protect her.

AN ANIMAL PASSION...

However, the mob isn't entirely human either, and soon Alicia must flee for her life. When Alicia and Jake's passion begins to spill over into their dreams, Jake learns he will have to do more than defend her— he'll have to show his mate the way of the wolf.

A Crowded Marriage by Catherine Alliot
Promotional Price: $2.99

'Til death do us part jut might cause you to wring someone's neck...

Imogen Cameron can’t quite figure out how she and her husband, Alex, have plummeted from living in their beloved London townhouse to scraping by in his exgirlfriend’s guest cottage. But although the scenic pastures might inspire her flagging artistic career, and getting out of the city might do their son good, Imogen wonders if all the country air in the world could calm the crowds that are invading her marriage.

There’s a gaggle of psychotic chickens, an infuriatingly bossy vet, that oh-so-sweet ex-girlfriend—and the feeling that her husband is preoccupied with more than just his job. International bestselling author Catherine Alliott delivers an “intelligent, acutely drawn picture of a difficult marriage” (Daily Telegraph), crafting a witty, sophisticated, and poignant exploration of relationships and family.

The sultry streets of the French Quarter, the glamorous Garden District, derelict riverfront cotton warehouses, and gritty back alleys come alive as the reporter’s story inexplicably slips between the nineteenth century and today. A long-forgotten drama of blackmail, swindles, and a love affair that is still changing lives leaves Corlis and King wondering if their burgeoning, unholy attraction will render them pawns in a matrix of mystery and deceit.

A Notorious Duke

An Infamous Duchess

An Innocent Girl

Violante isn’t supposed to be here, in one of the grandest courts of Renaissance Italy. She isn’t supposed to be a lady-in-waiting to the beautiful Lucrezia Borgia. But the same secretive  politics that pushed Lucrezia’s father to the Vatican have landed Violante deep in a lavish landscape of passion and ambition.

Violante discovers a Lucrezia unknown to those who see only a scheming harlot, and all the whispers about her brother, Cesare Borgia, never revealed the soul of the man who dances close with Violante.

But those who enter the House of Borgia are never quite the same when they leave—if they leave at all. Violante’s place in history will test her heart and leave her the guardian of dangerous secrets she must carry to the grave.

REVIEW: If You Know Her by Shiloh Walker

Title: If You Know Her (Amazon)
Series: The Ash Trilogy, #3
Author: Shiloh Walker 
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Source: review copy from author
Published: February 28, 2012 by Ballantine Books

A SHADOW IN THE WINDOW.

Nia Hollister doesn’t scare easily. Come hell or high water, she intends to find her cousin’s killer. She returns to Ash, Kentucky, for answers. What she doesn’t expect is to ache with desire every time she sees Law Reilly. If any man can help her escape the nightmares for a while, it’s him. But can she allow herself to take comfort in those strong arms when a murderer still roams free?

Unknown to Nia, as she quietly slips into Law Reilly’s home, is that she’s being watched—by someone who is waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Timing is everything, though he can’t wait forever. If she’s not frightened, she soon will be. Nia has made a vow to find her cousin’s killer. She should be careful what she wishes for.

Why I Read this Book: To find out who the killer is!

What I Liked: I was dying to know who the killer was. After reading the first book (my review), I had a guess as to whom the killer was - a pretty damn good guess. Hell, I was damn sure I knew who the killer was until the end of the second book (my review), which completely dismissed my idea. When I started reading If You Know Her, I had absolutely no freakin’ idea who the killer was. None. But I had a feeling that whoever it was, was going to shock the hell out of me and it did.

I loved Law Reilly’s character. He’s a great guy; the kind of guy you want in your life - whether as a friend or as your partner in life. I’m glad he got a HEA of his own. Speaking of, Nia’s a little ball of fire. That woman has determination and perseverance! And she’s smart too.

This last book was the most suspenseful and had me on the edge of my seat. And because there’s a mystery to solve, I was beyond thrilled that all three books were released back to back. Thank you for not making me wait A YEAR in between releases.

What I Didn’t Like: The Jennings were a bit hard to keep track of – there were just so many damn many of them!

Overall Impression: If you’re in the mood for a dark, haunting, and chilling romantic suspense read then I highly recommend The Ash trilogy. But I have to warn you: have all three books on hand before you begin reading because once you start, you won’t want to put it down until you find out who the killer is. And that little mystery spans across all three novels.

Under Fire (Elite Force, #3) by Catherine Mann 
(Amazon)

A decorated hero, pararescueman Liam McCabe lives to serve. Six months ago, he and Rachel Flores met in the horrific aftermath of an earthquake in the Bahamas. They were tempted by an explosive attraction, yet parted ways. Still, Liam has thought about Rachel every day—and night—since.

Now, after ignoring all his phone calls for six months, Rachel has turned up on base with a wild story about a high-ranking military traitor. She claims no one but Liam can help her—and she won’t trust anyone else.

With nothing but her word and the testimony of a discharged military cop to go on, Liam would be insane to risk his career—even his life—to help this woman who left him in the dust.

I got a glimpse at Liam and Rachel’s budding romance while reading Hot Zone (my review) and I want more. I want them to get their HEA.

The Iron Hunt (Hunter Kiss, #1) by Marjorie M. Liu
(Amazon)

Demon hunter Maxine Kiss wears her armor as tattoos, which unwind from her body to take on forms of their own at night. They stand between her and her enemies, just as Maxine stands between humanity and the demons breaking out from behind the prison veils. It is a life lacking in love, reveling in death, until one moment—and one man— changes everything.

I need more UF. I just can’t seem to get enough of this genre.

BOOK SPOTLIGHT: PODs by Michelle Pickett

Author: Michelle Pickett
Genre: Young Adult, Sci-fi, Thriller
Release Date: June 2013 by Spencer Hill Press

Seventeen-year-old Eva is a chosen one. Chosen to live, while others meet a swift and painful death from an incurable virus so lethal, a person is dead within days of symptoms emerging. In the POD system, a series of underground habitats built by the government, she waits with the other chosen for the deadly virus to claim those above. Separated from family and friends, it's in the PODs she meets David. And while true love might not conquer all, it's a balm for the broken soul.

After a year, scientists believe the population has died, and without living hosts, so has the virus. That's the theory, anyway. But when the PODs are opened, survivors find the surface holds a vicious secret. The virus mutated, infecting those left top-side and creating... monsters.

Eva and David hide from the infected in the abandoned PODs. Together they try to build a life--a new beginning. But the infected follow and are relentless in their attacks. Leaving Eva and David to fight for survival, and pray for a cure.

Reading the synopsis just gave me the chills. Sounds like PODs is going to by a dystopian-esque type thriller. What do you think?

Baby, Come Home (Southern Roads, #2) by Stephanie Bond (Amazon)

Baby, Don’t Go (Southern Roads, #3) by Stephanie Bond (Amazon)

The hardheaded Armstrong brothers are determined to rebuild their tornado-ravaged hometown in the Georgia mountains. They've got the means, they've got the manpower…what they need are women! So they place an ad in a Northern newspaper and wait for the ladies to arrive.…

Eldest brother Marcus Armstrong considers the estrogen-influx an irritating distraction. He's running a town, not a dating service!

Reporter Alicia Randall thinks the Armstrong brothers are running a scam and she intends to prove it—even if it means seducing oh-so-sexy Marcus in the process. Sizzling sex and a hot story? Win-win!

At least it is, until she falls for the guy. Will love trump betrayal when the truth comes out?

I had gotten Baby, I’m Yours (Southern Roads, #0.5) as a free Kindle read and I loved it! So I definitely want to read the trilogy.
