When he sees a woman entering his club with a bachelorette party, he sees she is not the normal woman who comes into party and is intrigued. Next thing Luka knows is he is rescuing Hannah and doesn't want to let her go.
Hannah is from Ohio recently moved to Las Vegas. To say she is out of her element is completely accurate but when she is kidnapped, Luka steps in to keep her protected. Although Luka takes it to another level and finds herself married to a made man and falling for Luka while questioning if she is strong enough to be in his life?
This was riveting. Thought Hannah was a bit harsh in one part of the story, I got it but she put Luka in an impossible situation. Terrific series I can't wait to read more of....more

Jared's response is far from what she expected, intensely passionate and explosive in each others arms, Sara doesn't know what this means to their friendship.
Jared has never desired a woman more than Sara and he wants it all with her.

Fortunately she has a friend who is helRandi Marks is being held hostage until she agrees to marry her stepbrother to gain access to her inheritance. Fortunately she has a friend who is helping her escape and find her brother Ashby who is a member of the Devil's House MC. Randi runs and Ashby, known as Scotch, vows to protect her. What she does not plan on is the ire of the VP called Player.
Player never plans to settle down, he loves women but only for a few hours. When he sees Randi, he wants her but she is off limits. He believes she is a rich princess with the attitude to match. He soon realizes he is wrong, they banter and find themselves given into the heat between them, but he is not playing for keeps that is until he is.
This was fun, Player was a jerk towards Randi but I believe it was more because he was questioning his feelings and it made him uncomfortable. Randi is great, she gives back the attitude that Player slays her way. Had some funny moments too....more
Under an alias, Claire Hallowell arrives in Wilsonville, SC looking for the link to a set of serial killings claiming young women. Branded by a demon,Under an alias, Claire Hallowell arrives in Wilsonville, SC looking for the link to a set of serial killings claiming young women. Branded by a demon, Claire was forced out of the FBI but is working with another group who handles the more paranormal side of investigations. So far, with the help of her ghost Claire had not discovered to much except her boss, the Sheriff was lazy.
The first day they are supposed to work together, he is late. When Claire finally meets Derek Jacob, he is rude, crude, and makes it perfectly clear he wants her. Claire is not interested though, she has had more than enough trouble with men to last a lifetime, especially since the last one marked her.
Derek knows that Claire is his mate. His first impression though did not go well and she finds him repulsive, at least that is is what she is telling him but he can smell her desire. Of course he can also smell she is not being completely truthful about who she is. Now Derek has his hands full of his temperamental mate and a heck of a problem when he finds out the demon wants Claire as his own.
I thought I had read this before, but not completely sure. I thought this was pure hot fun. Derek is a bad boy to the core but Claire is his equal in every way, she is not having any of his games but she doesn't quite realize he intends to make her his mate. I hope there is more coming in this series soon.

Immensely fun. You had the romance but while that is a part of the story the main story is the history of the house. Several twists and turns that were unexpected. I really enjoyed Daphne, she says what she feels even when it is not delicate. Ian was a force to be reckoned with. Terrific chemistry between the two. ...more

I really enjoyed this one, Kellen is a jerk of your dreams initially but he grows on you once you get to the heart of what is having him act out. I thought Salem was a delight, she puts Kellen in his place a time or two. Together they are a couple you are hoping will find their happily ever after, looking forward to the next book....more

Monica's Manhunt - Monica Landers has a list of requirements to find her future husband. She knows what she wants and having Matt Shepard help her navigate through the ones who live up to her list, she finds herself looking at Matt differently and perhaps he is what he list is missing.
Both books were pretty fun. I was laughing out loud at Monica, she was a complete hoot. Great chemistry in both books. Definitely a book to put a smile on your face....more

He lets her go but it is a very short leash before he plans to come after her again and this time he is going to give her everything she wants in life.

This has a ton of triggers so be forewarned as it is very twisted and dark. That being said I liked this one, unlike anything I have read before. Had a definite inspiration for the story which I could totally see how it began to unravel. I was unsure how the story would go. I wouldn't say you like Tyrant but I found him fascinating. Will be reading more from this author....more

I also liked the growth of Wyatt, he goes from being a bit of a tool to a very complex character who redefines who he is. Great read....more
