A Perfect Storm, What Chris Wants, & Bare It All by Lori Foster (Multi-Book Review)
APRIL 1, 2012
Spencer Lark already knows too many secrets about Arizona Storm, including the nightmare she survived and her resulting trust issues. But in order to expose a smuggling ring—and continue avenging his own tragic past—the bounty hunter reluctantly agrees to make Arizona a decoy. Yet nothing has equipped him for her hypnotic blend of fragility and bravery, or for the protective instincts she stirs in him.
Arizona wants to reclaim her life, which means acting as bait to lure the enemy into a trap. Sure it’s dangerous, especially with a partner as distractingly appealing as Spencer. But as their plan—and their chemistry—shifts into high gear, Arizona may discover there’s an even greater risk in surrendering her heart to a hero….
Review
I love stories featuring strong women and Lori blended Arizona’s strong and vulnerable moments beautifully.
As for Spencer, it takes an equally strong man to swallow his dominant side and let a woman take charge – personally and professionally.
And after reading this installment, you will see he thoroughly enjoyed giving up control in the bedroom. Out of the bedroom, he is definitely learning to adjust and for that, he has earned my respect as a character.
For the villain, I think you’ll be surprised the twist Lori threw at us. He’s not just crazy….he’s white coat crazy.

When the going gets tough, the tough turn to Chris Chapey. As the right-hand man to a group of take-no-prisoners mercenaries, Chris can organize a top secret rescue mission with his eyes closed. But when it comes to his personal life, Chris is the one who needs a little help.
His problem: Matt Houser. Chris can’t deny his attraction to Matt, but Matt has no idea what Chris’s job really entails and how much it means to him. Matt challenges Chris to change his life—and make a place for him in it. Can Chris risk telling him the truth?
Review
I’ve been waiting for Chris and Matt to finally get together and my only regret, their story was WAY TOO SHORT!
Now, it did have sweet moments but I wanted more sexy moments. They only shared a couple smooches. Compared to the love fests in the other stories, I felt a bit let down.

Or protect her from a dangerous new threat? One thing is certain: their chemistry is a time bomb waiting to explode. And with no one to trust but each other, Reese and Alice are soon drawn into a deadly maze of corruption, intrigue and desire-and into the line of fire….
Review
Yes folks, “Bare It All” marked the end of the Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series (for now). At least, I hope it’s for now. I really want this series to continue.
Why?
Well, the answer is simple. Lori mixed heat and suspense masterfully. It kept me engaged and had me flying through the pages.
Alice from “Trace of Fever” is the main female star in this series.
FYI – Trace made quite an entrance in this story. Love him!

Oh, I also adore Rowdy and Dash. No doubt about it – I am definitely buying the Love Undercover series ASAP!

Belong to You by Cheyenne McCray (Book Review)
Anna Batista’s life is great. Her event planning career is well established, allowing a comfy budget for shopping splurges at her favorite boutique. She has great friends, lives comfortably with her aunt, uncle and two sweet, young cousins who she loves to watch as they grow up. Anna hasn’t found love, but why rush when everything else is going so right?
But Anna has a secret. If that secret is discovered, it would mean devastation for her entire family. The last person she should have anything to do with is Sheriff Mike McBride. Having anyone in law enforcement close just isn’t an option.
But Mike can’t be dissuaded. When he meets Anna, she immediately steals his heart. The beautiful, petite Anna is everything he’s ever wanted in a woman and he’ll move mountains to convince her that they’re made for each other. Even persuading her to work on his campaign.
When Mike’s opponent for sheriff blackmails Anna, she is plunged into a web of forced deceit that threatens to tear apart her family, her heart, and the good hearted man she has now fallen for. With the election in tatters, and his career at risk, Mike must make some hard decisions. Can a good man choose both love and duty?
QuickThoughts
Compared to the other books in the series, I found this a little slower in pace. It was cute, but I didn’t find myself immersed in their story like the others.
I did enjoy it though. Anna and Mike were a lovely couple. Their dates were sweet and fun.
Mike is a fine ass cowboy – honorable, romantic, and lets not forget sexxxxxy!

Mike’s Way Back & Gabby Revealed by Amy Gregory (Book Review)
 |
When Detective Mike Sterling left the Chicago PD and returned to his hometown of Renlend Kansas, he tried to convince himself it was so his mother could stop worrying. The truth was, even Renlend wasn’t going to vanquish the dreams that tortured him at night.
When Taryn Watts landed in Renland Kansas to design a client’s new cooking school she intended to stay just long enough to do the job and then go right back to her life on the East Coast.
When Taryn and Mike found themselves sharing a booth, one thing was certain, neither one of them thought it was a good idea. Mike still wasn’t over his ex-wife’s betrayal, and when Taryn found out Mike was a cop she wanted to run all the way back to Connecticut and never look back, but she couldn’t… Sitting outside his home late at night she watches him fight against his demons. Demons she already had too much experience with firsthand.
When Mike finally admits there is no way to outrun his demons, Tayrn knows she’ll do anything, or be anything, to help Mike find his way back.
Quick Thoughts
This story marks my first taste of Amy’s writing skills and I have to say – this chick knows how to create a story that keeps you turning the pages. The characters were likable and at no point did I find the story dragging. In fact, I finished it the same day I picked it up – couple hours later actually. It was fun, flirty, and just all around a great read. Good job, Amy!

Gabby James didn’t have the idyllic childhood many in her little hometown of Renlend, Kansas had. High school was a living hell, but when she graduated she couldn’t bring herself to leave Renlend. The town was her prison, but her family’s bookstore, The Looking Glass, was her one true love. It was the place she could run to, and escape the prying eyes of the ones who taunted her.
Shane Compton was a literary agent in one of the most prestigious publishing houses in New York City. He found no greater rush than finding the next big talent, someone who could take the written word and turn it into an art form. In the span of one rude phone call Shane was drawn into the mystery of just who the fiery new author from Kansas was. When everyone else in the office refused to deal with her, Shane willingly accepted the challenge. There was no logic to the madness, but every time he had contact with her, she drove him wild.
Gabby tried every trick in the book to keep Shane at arm’s length, but he had made good on his promise to come to Kansas. He wanted to pull her out of anonymity, he wanted her in the public eye. Now here he stood, on the sidewalk in front her bookstore, and one look told her he was everything she was afraid he’d be. Too bad she was anything but who he thought she was.
Gabby quickly discovers Shane has more on his mind than just books and with a little help from an ornery matchmaker, he shows her a whole new life through her looking glass.
Quick Thoughts
I think most people, at one or another, have been bullied in some form or fashion. That is why this story will strike a cord with people. In other words, I can see people seeing themselves as Gabby (to some degree).
After I finished this story, two sections stood out from the rest.
1) The letter to Gabby. (Yup, not gonna elaborate.)
2) The final altercation between Gabby and her numero uno bully. All I can say is….. “YOU GO GIRL!”
