Review of “Hidden Prey” – Cheyenne McCray


HIDDEN PREY
New York Times best selling author Cheyenne McCray returns to steamy romantic suspense with a high-octane thriller about a woman running from a Mexican cartel and the man determined to protect her.

Danger
Tori Cox, a talented and sought after musician, heads back to her roots in a small southwest town in Arizona as she flees an abusive relationship. When she arrives in Bisbee, she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time—and witnesses the execution of a Federal agent by none other than the son of El Demonio, the head of the Jimenez Cartel. Tori and everyone she loves is now in danger as the cartel comes after her before she can testify.

Desire
Landon Walker, a special agent with the Department of Homeland Security, rescues Tori when he sees the beautiful woman running from members of one of the most ruthless cartels in the world. He sets out to protect her, but soon protecting her isn’t enough. The fire between them makes him want her in a way that he’s never wanted another woman, despite his wounded heart.
 
Death
Diego Montego Jimenez will do everything in his power to kill the young American woman who threatens his business and family. No one lives to testify against the Jimenez Cartel. Landon isn’t about to let the cartel get hold of Tori. He’ll go to the ends of the earth and back to protect her—and show her he’s never letting her go.

 
 
Quick Thoughts
 
Cheyenne is back with a new series and I rather enjoyed it. IMO, it would make a perfect story arc for an episode of Breaking Bad, which I am currently engrossed in. Yeah, I know I’m way behind on the times with this show but I’m watching it now so …… 🙂
 
And now back to the book…..
 
If you like sexy cops, women who aren’t weak, and action, then you will enjoy this book. It is the perfect start to her new series. Can’t wait for book 2.

Dead Witch Walking by Kim Harrison (Book Review)

US Cover 
Foreign Editions’ Covers
Source: Kim Harrison’s Website
 

All the creatures of the night gather in “the Hollows” of Cincinnati, to hide, to prowl, to party … and to feed.

Vampires rule the darkness in a predator-eat-predator world rife with dangers beyond imagining — and it’s Rachel Morgan’s job to keep that world civilized.

A bounty hunter and witch with serious sex appeal and an attitude, she’ll bring ’em back alive, dead … or undead.

 


This is the first full-length novel I’ve read by Kim. I picked it up at the store because the back cover intrigued me and I wanted a new author to read. 
 
Did I like it the story? Well, that’s a hard question to answer. I didn’t think it was overly bad, just slow and drawn-out. 
 
For me, I can usually finish a 400 page book in a couple days. This one I finished in five. That’s how I knew I wasn’t “into” it. 
 
However, I did like one aspect of this novel or should I say one “being” – Jenks. 
 
The pixy was absolutely the show stealer!!!!

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!

NYPD Red 2 by James Patterson (Book Review)

NYPD Red—the task force attacking the most extreme crimes in America’s most extreme city—hunts a killer who is on an impossible mission.

A vigilante serial killer is on the loose in New York City, tracking down and murdering people whose crimes have not been punished. The number of victims grows, and many New Yorkers secretly applaud the idea of justice won at any price.

NYPD Red Detective Zach Jordan and his partner Kylie MacDonald are put on the case when a woman of vast wealth and even greater connections disappears. Zach and Kylie have to find what’s really behind this murderer’s rampage while political and personal secrets of the highest order hang in the balance. But Kylie has been acting strange recently—and Zach knows whatever she’s hiding could threaten the biggest case of their careers.

 
 
It’s getting harder and harder for me to review JP books. Why? Well, he seems to be missing the crucial “mystery” in his mystery books. In this story, we knew exactly who were the Hazmat killers. 
 
For fans of JP, do you remember “Cat and Mouse” and “Jack and Jill”? 
 
Those he wrote with suspense. I miss that. 
 
Since I had to leave a review on a negative note, I will say this…… I’m happy to see Zach and Cheryl are moving forward in their relationship. They are a fun, sexy couple.

Theirs to Cherish by Shayla Black (Book Review)

 
The perfect place for a woman on the run to disappear…
 

Accused of a horrific murder she didn’t commit, former heiress Callie Ward has been a fugitive since she was sixteen—until she found the perfect hideout, Club Dominion. The only problem is she’s fallen for the club’s Master, Mitchell Thorpe, who keeps her at arm’s length. Little does she know that his reasons for not getting involved have everything to do with his wounded heart…and his consuming desire for her.

To live out her wildest fantasies…
 

Enter Sean Kirkpatrick, a Dom who’s recently come to Dominion and taken a pointed interest in Callie. Hoping to make Thorpe jealous, she submits to Sean one shuddering sigh at a time. It isn’t long before she realizes she’s falling for him too. But the tender lover who’s slowly seducing her body and earning her trust isn’t who he claims…

And to fall in love.
 

When emotions collide and truths are exposed, Sean is willing to risk all to keep Callie from slipping through his fingers. But he’s not the only man looking to stake a claim. Now Callie is torn between Sean and Thorpe, and though she’s unsure whom she can trust, she’ll have to surrender her body and soul to both—if she wants to elude a killer…

 
 


Was this book sexy as hell? Yes. 
 
Did the love scenes make my heart race, certain parts of my anatomy ache? HELL YES! 
 
And folks, I am not ashamed to admit the scenes between Sean, Callie, and Thorpe are panty wetters. 
 
The scenes were so hot, I almost forgot there was a plot happening in the background. 
 
If you read nothing else from her – READ THIS!
