Causing Havoc & Simon Says by Lori Foster (2 Book Reviews)

 

 
51nsx5xgokl-_sx307_bo1204203200_
Sexy, sculpted extreme fighter Dean “Havoc” Connor has knee-melting good looks-and thick skin. But not from his brutal sport’s enclosed rings. Orphaned and torn from his sisters as a boy, he has no family. That is, until he gets a letter revealing how much the once-little girls want him back in Harmony, Kentucky.
To stop his sister from marrying a man as sleazy as he is wealthy, Dean finds himself teaming up with her pretty-but-smart-mouthed friend Eve — who’s heard of “Havoc’s” reputation and doesn’t need some hunk trampling on her heart. Now all Dean has to do is protect his sisters, win Eve over, and expose a devious criminal.
And he thought winning the heavyweight cage fighting belt was hard.
 

Review
 
Many, many times, a friend of mine suggested I should read the creations by L. Foster. Finally my stack of books dwindled down and after a quick trip to the bookstore, I had in my hands the entire fighter series.
 
I must say, I’m pleased with my first taste of Lori. (Gee that sounded way dirtier than I intended.) 
Dean was a such a lovable man. Yeah, a big ole teddy bear who could make you submit, on and off the mat. Yeah folks, I meant that to sound dirty.
I also enjoyed the supporting cast in this story – Gregor, Roger, Eve, Jacki, and Simon…. His brief appearance and the ladies’ reaction to him made me eager to start his story right away. (See thoughts on his story below)

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Ultimate series, a former MMA fighter returns to the ring while a beautiful investigator watches his every move…
 
With his perfectly chiseled, lava-hot body, Simon Evans, ex-fighter, also has a perfect life—great job, great girl, and more than enough dough. All that changes, though, when he catches his girlfriend cheating. To shake things up, Simon goes full-force back into the ring, ready to take out his rage on his opponents…
 
To make matters worse, the father who walked out on Simon and his mom eons ago wants to be back in the picture. He’s hired his stepdaughter, Dakota, to find Simon. Hot on Simon’s heels, the gutsy P.I. puts love on the back burner. But when attempts are made on Dakota’s life, Simon steps in to protect her, all but putting both their hearts on the line…

 

Brief Impression
 

Ok, Simon is fantastic. No doubt about it. But Dakota…. that girl is badass.
I was mentally cheering when she kicked the living shit out of her ex-abusive husband. Marvin learned the hard way that KARMA IS A BITCH!

Melting the Ice by Jaci Burton (Book Review)

Everything’s coming together for budding fashion designer Carolina Preston. Only months away from having her own line, she could use some publicity. That’s when her brother suggests his best friend as a model—hockey player Drew Hogan.

Carolina and Drew already have a history—a hot one, back in college. Unforgettable for Carolina, but for Drew, just another slap shot. This time, though, it’s different. His perfect body would be for professional use only. This time, she could use him.

Drew is all for it. He’s looking forward to the exposure. Plus, it would give him a chance to prove to Carolina that he’s changed. If only he could thaw her emotions, convince her to let down her guard and let him in just one more time…

 
 
 
 
How Drew treated Carolina in college was rather… pardon my bluntness here… shitty. You don’t take a woman’s virginity and not call her the next morning. That’s just…..pathetic. And to boot, it was his best friend’s sister. 
 
I don’t blame Carolina for being pissed at him all those years. I would be too. 
 
Drew did have his reasons for treating her coldly. He felt something for her and, at the time, his primary focus was on the game. He had no room for a relationship. He didn’t promise her anything, but he also knew how she felt about him so I return to by previous statement above….shitty move there Drew. 
 
Now let’s skip to the future….
 
Through the need for high profile sport’s figures for her upcoming fashion show, Drew and Carolina are once again found in close quarters – alone. Drew has grown up, apologized several times for how he treated her, and wants to try again. Of course, Carolina is reluctant BUT chemistry is chemistry and she never did get over Drew. He never did get over her. 
 
Folks, let me tell you, their chemistry was off the charts. Oral sex on the ice, locker room, her studio….. and many more places. 
 
I’m sure after reading this book, you’ll be adding a few more places to your “sex bucket list”. I sure did. 🙂
