Unbelievable by Lori Foster (Book Review)

JUNE 29, 2010
 
Fantasy

Brandi really means it when she says “Oh, you shouldn’t have” to her sister’s outrageous birthday gift—a five-day dream vacation to a lovers’ retreat…lover included. Just what is she going to do in paradise with sexy stranger Sebastian Sinclair? Anything and everything she wants.

Tantalizing

Josie Jackson was growing tired of a constant stream of yawninducing blind dates, courtesy of her dear, meddling sister. But Nick Harris wasn’t the stuffy, straitlaced workaholic that Josie had come to expect. In fact, he was just the opposite—tall, dark and ready to give little Miss Josie Jackson a night to remember.

 
 
In both stories, the couples fell for each fast and neither couple opened up to the feelings right away. But isn’t that the way in real life (at times)? One person (or both) are too afraid to own up to their feelings for fear of rejection, nerves, etc. 
 
Even though I liked the major players in the two stories, I have to say without Gramps part in “Tantalizing”, I think I would’ve had enjoyed it as much. That old man was a sly fox who still had “game”. Oh yeah, Gramps “got his groove back”. 🙂

The Troublemaker Next Door by Marie Harte (Book Review)

 
When Flynn McCauley meets Maddie Gardner, sparks fly. She hates men. He’s not into relationships. She lost her job. He fixed her sink—but that’s not all he wants to fix. When a ride home turns into a lot more, Maddie and Flynn decide to keep things strictly casual. Strictly sexual. They won’t date. And they end up not dating…a lot. But soon Flynn wants more from the wary redhead. If he can just keep her distracted long enough to burrow under her skin, Flynn might convince Maddie they have a shot at real happiness. That’s if Maddie can overcome her past to take a chance on the future.
 
 
 
This is my first time reading anything by Marie and I can say (without any doubts) I LOVE HER WRITING SKILLS! 
 
I laughed my tush off watching the McCauley brothers interact. And little Colin, he was just way too cute for words. I can’t wait for Karma to catch up to Brody for creating a devious little con man. When he has kids of his own, the uncles are sure to make sure his kids give daddy hell. Payback is a bitch, Brody! 
 
HA! 
 
As for Flynn and Maddie — Dayum! For a couple who aren’t technically a couple, they sure sizzled every time they got near other. The sex scenes were deliciously HAWT – bondage, BJ’s in vehicles, sex in back room of a club, phone sex, and the constant teasing of each other. 
 
I can’t say how much I loved book one in the series. Yes, I already preordered book 2-4. *big smile*

Burning Dawn by Gena Showalter (Book Review)

A tormented past has left Thane with an insatiable need for violence, making him the most dangerous assassin in the skies. He lives by a single code: no mercy. And as he unleashes his fury on his most recent captor, he learns no battle could have prepared him for the slave he rescues from his enemy’s clutches–a beauty who stokes the fires of his darkest desires.

Elin Vale has her own deep-rooted scars, and her attraction to the exquisite warrior who freed her challenges her every boundary. But Thane’s unwavering determination to protect her means she must have her greatest fears–and enter a world in which passion is power, and victory means breathtaking surrender.

 

 

I loved the camaraderie/bromance between Thane, Xerxes, and Bjorn. Those three had me rolling more than Bianka, Kaia, and Anya. 
 
Speaking of those vivaciously lovely women, they have a couple fabulous scenes in this story. Lucien, too. 
 
And if you love Gena’s wicked sense of humor, you won’t be disappointed with this tale. It is jammed pack full of hilarity!

Their Virgin Captive & Their Virgin’s Secret by Shayla Black and Lexi Blake (2 Book Reviews)

BOOK ONE
Brothers Gavin, Slade, and Dex, fall hard for Gavin’s new secretary, beautiful Hannah Craig. The oil executives know they must give her time to get to know them before she can choose one . . . who will seduce the virgin and keep her for his own. But when a dangerous predator begins stalking the small-town beauty, they work together to protect her, abducting Hannah and spiriting her to an isolated hideaway. Once alone with her, none of them can contain their burning desire. Though Slade and Dex don’t mind sharing, Gavin’s tragic past has put distance between him and his brothers. Now, they’re hoping that not only will Hannah love them back . . . but maybe mend their fractured family.
 
After overcoming her initial fears, the men teach her wild pleasure she’s never imagined. She grows closer to each, their devotion melting her inhibitions. Hannah finds herself embracing love with all three men—and hoping she can heal Gavin’s wounded soul. But her new found happiness turns to terror when her stalker finds her. Will Gavin, Slade and Dex lose their woman to a menace that threatens everything they hold dear, or will they finally unite to make Hannah theirs forever?

 

 
First, I would like to state that I DID READ the back cover before I purchased the story; however, I bought the book anyways because I am a fan of hers. 
 
I wasn’t a fan of three brothers sharing a solitary woman, but that’s my personal ICK factor playing a role there. 
 
If you forget they were brothers, the scenes were hot. The men…yummo!
 
The other glitches …. 
 
A twenty-five year old virgin having sex multiple times but isn’t sore? Dex and Slade touched on it about giving her the “morning off”. But, she didn’t mention it or act as if she was sore in the slightest bit. That (for me) isn’t realistic.
 
The fifty spankings? Again, she was new to this lifestyle so I don’t see fifty spankings so soon no matter her offense.
 
And the stalker – very easy to figure out. 🙁
 
With all that said, I am willing to continue on with the series and see what book two has in store for me.

BOOK TWO

 

Two Men on a Mission
Security Professionals Burke and Cole Lennox have shared women before but never meant to fall in love with one. Their lives are precarious, always on the edge of trouble. But Jessa Wade is too tempting, too perfect to let go. They’re on a dangerous mission, but they can’t help but get close to the beautiful, innocent artist. When their mission takes them to a foreign land, they reluctantly leave their love behind, promising to return for her one day.
 
A Woman with a Secret
After her lovers disappeared, Jessa Wade bravely moves on with her life, protecting her secret. But when she becomes the target of one of Burke and Cole’s enemies, the men leap into action, vowing to save their woman and to never leave again. As danger stalks all three, they must come together and face the mistakes of their past. On the run and out of time, Burke and Cole will fight for their future with Jessa. But will Jessa’s secret bring them together…or tear them apart?

 

 
 
Brothers sharing a woman is an ongoing theme with the series and I’ve grown tired of the same theme. 
 
If you take that out of the equation, I enjoyed this story a thousand times more than Their Virgin Captive
 
This story had a better, more thought-out plot. I didn’t feel it got pushed aside or rushed in lieu of the sex scenes.

Hope Ignites by Jaci Burton (Book Review)

When a movie crew asks to film on his cattle ranch, Logan McCormack doesn’t expect Desiree Jenkins, the young, sought-after star, to be so open, so down-to-earth, or so intimately interested in him. But the last thing a loner like Logan needs is a distraction like Des, who wouldn’t understand what it’s like to live peacefully off the land.

But it’s Logan who doesn’t understand. What Des wants is an escape from paparazzi and gossip columns, and she’s found it at Logan’s ranch. Now it’s up to her to prove that she’s like any other girl looking to be accepted for who she is. And she’s hoping that it’s by this real life cowboy who has everything it takes—and more—to give her the kind of happily ever after that can’t be found in the movies.

 
Do you love cowboys?
Do you love when a woman takes charge and speaks her desires?
Oh yeah, I do too. 
I loved how Des flirted with Logan. Literally came out and said she wanted him in her bed. That is hot! 
 
Colt, her best friend and movie co-star, oh he was quite dreamy too. I hope him and his boyfriend Tony make appearances in future releases because I believe their story has just begun.
