I wanted something short and sweet and got this instead. This was a teaser to what I assume is an on-going story line. I blame myself for not reasearching this more but it was a freebie, so I thought what the hell.

Mercy Martin has wanted Hunter Green, yes that's his name and yes I did giggle, since she was twelve. He has been her brother's best friend for her whole life. When he gets back from his tours in the Middle East, she figures it's time for him to notice her and she throws herself at him.

Hunter Green, giggle, notices her alright. He sees she's all grown up but two important things stop him from taking what she's offering. First, she's his best friend's sister and he has desires he's sure will make her uncomfortable. He does engage in some fondling and kissing in public though. Three different times where anyone could see them and twice within view of her parents.

I'm not saying the sex in the book was boring because that was the best part of this story. But seriously, who has sex where their brother or parents could see? Ewww, gross. Not to mention, who would you call to bail you out if you got arrested for indecent exposure? There were a couple of other things that bothered me with this story. It seemed like it almost scene jumped without warning. Also, it talks about him being a Marine and two sentences later she sees his picture with his Navy uniform on. I know you can serve in different branches of the military but I don't recall a mention of any Navy service.

I might in the future try to read something else by this author but I want something with a little more chemistry between the characters and more consistency with the writing.

Cristin Harber, you crafty author you. I've read all of your books and enjoyed them but this one is my favorite so far. Everything clicked for me with this story. I loved all the characters, old and new alike. Loved the story and the pacing of it. I was never bored or felt like I had to force myself to read. Action packed from beginning to end.

Caterina is a woman with a terrible past. Her family was murdered in front of her at her birthday party by an up and coming mobsterish type. She's dedicated her whole life to vengeance. She doesn't have a home or close ties because she's always on the move, tracking the Dog killer. I know it's kind of an odd name but when you read the story it all makes sense. She finally has a great lead but then the lead dies. She quickly comes up with a plan B. This is where Titan comes in.

In the previous book, Rocco Savage was injured by stabbing. Since then, Titan found out that the knife used to stab him with was laced with a high powered hallucinogenic. Rocco has had spells since then that leave him pretty incapacitated. He's kept this a secret from his teammates in fear for his job. He sees an angel that helps him to his room one night during one of his spells. This angel was Caterina. She asks for Titan's help with this case and picks Rocco as the one to pose as a couple with her.

From that point on, buckle your seat belts, because this is a roller coaster of a story. High suspense, questionable content for some, hot sex, a creepy bad guy with minions, and a very deserved HEA. If you haven't read this series yet, you really, really should. Lovers of military romantic suspense will be singing it's praises for the roof tops.

A second chance love story between a husband and wife? I'm all over it!

Brock Gamble is ostracized, black listed, an outcast from his old life. That's what happens when you are considered a traitor. It's what happens when you betray your best friends. Endanger people you care about or people they care about. Doesn't matter that you had no choice, no other options. And when the people you did it for walk away, it leaves you with nothing.

Sarah Gamble never really knew what her husband did for a living. When she found out firsthand, she couldn't forgive or forget.

When she's approached by an unlikely source regarding forgiving Brock, she's forced to decidwe whether she really wants to lose the only man she's ever loved.

I enjoyed this so much. Cristin Harber is a master at character description. You fall in love with them all and yearn for their happily-ever-afters. Watching Brock and Sarah get to truly know each other again was so sweet and sexy. I can't wait to read the next novella in this series that keeps getting better and better.

This is the first full length novel in this series. I really enjoyed the prequel and has high hopes for this installment.

Risk is a former SEAL on his first assignment with the Justiss Alliance and his job is to protect the daughter of a military man. She's an animal rights activist complete with an arrest record for her actions. Risk thinks this is a baby sitting job and not real thrilled at first. He knows he needs to prove his worth to his new organization so he vows to take this job seriously.

Addie Wunder is a little extreme but devout in her beliefs. She fights for the abuse of animals and she's really quite successful at it. But she has gained enemies, yes in the plural form. She's a pistol and nothing is going to stop her from her purpose. Not even the bodyguard her father has put on her tail.

This was a very cute book. I adored the characters and the storyline. You take a big carnivore and the animal rights activist vegetarian and pair them together and watch out. The cat and mouse game between them is entertaining and hilarious. I will never hear the words zucchini and radishes without giggling. This was suspenseful and hot. I already have the next book loaded and ready but with a release for May, I have to wait a while to read it.

This is a prequel novella to spawn a series about five ex-Navy SEALs. After a mission that was a clusterfuck, these men were discharged but thankfully not court martialled. Even though they were not responsible for this screwed up mission, they were the ones that were blamed to appease the masses. To avoid jail time they had to sign contracts forbidding them to talk about what really happened on that ill fated mission.

As they are leaving the courthouse, a man approaches them with a job offer. He is the founder of the Justiss Alliance and they handle what sounds like protection and black ops work. He leaves his cards with each of the men and asks them to consider his offer.

At this point, you get a glimpse at each of the men in this SEAL group. Some of their home lives and if they will join the Justiss Alliance. These men are named: Risk, Rath, Saxby, Knox and Julian.

I can't wait to read this series. I have the first one loaded and ready on my Kindle. I hope they are as good as Maya Banks' KGI series or Cindy Gerard's Black Ops Inc. series. I love romantic suspense and I adore military romantic suspense. This prequel had no sex in it and I do hope the series does. If it doesn't, well that's just stupid.

Then he helps his friend, Axel and he meets Dee. She's everything he's ever wanted but she doesn't want or expect anything more than just sex from him.

Denise "Dee" Roberts is always smiling and happy. She has a great job and would do anything for her two best friends, Greg and Izzy. When Izzy's relationship with her high school sweetheart re-ignites, Dee couldn't be happier for her. She meets Beck and they ignites some sparks of their own. She loves being with Beck but doesn't let him too close.

As Beck struggles to get closer to Dee, she has to face her own demons. She has to realize that she doesn't have to always have her happy mask on. Even with her horrific past she has to give love a chance. But to give love a chance is to face her demons head on and have the inner strength to do it.

I loved Beck but Dee drove me crazy, I understand her reservations concerning a relationship with Beck but seriously, I just couldn't totally buy into it. I still like her as a character but she was a little too much at times. I didn't enjoy this book as much as the previous two but it was still enjoyable and I'm all in on the series.

Harper Sloan is one of those authors that know how to write a foul mouthed hero. The men in this series so far do indeed have very filthy mouths. This makes me giggle and maybe twirl my hair just a bit.

Greg Cage started Corps, Inc., which is a security and protection company. He employed his Marine buddies after they all finished their tours of duty. He's a protector in every sense of the word. He has a very soft spot for women who have been in abusive relationships. His two best freinds, Dee and Izzy, he's very protective of. Izzy's past hits way too close to home for him. She had an abusive ex and so did Greg's sister. Greg lost his twin sister to her abusive husband. Her death has weighed on his soul for over a decade.

Melissa is a nurse of some kind, maybe a medical assistant. She is the sole support for her family. She and her mother help raise her nephew. Melissa lost her sister when her sister's husband had her killed. Since then, they have battled her sister's ex mother-in-law for custody of her nephew.

When these two first see each other sparks start flying. Greg is all in from the very beginning. When their pasts collide it's a scary moment. Will he lose Melissa because of keeping a secret he knew he should've told her about? Will his CRAZY ex ruin their relationship?

This is a really good series and I'm enjoying it. In close, I'll leave you with some dirty quotes from this story.

"Babe, I need to know what to call you when I slide my dick into your body."

"You can call me whatever you want as long as you're screaming it."

This book was sitting on my Kindle just waiting to be read. I kept looking at it, thinking it's next but I still had books I'd had for longer, so it kept getting kicked down the list. I had started another book and then thought...screw it, I'm reading Axel.

Axel is part of a security group of former Marines. He's extremely alpha, arrogant and loves his "brothers". When he assigned to protect his brother, Greg's best friend he comes face to face with his past. With the only girl he has ever loved. He's not only shocked to see Isabelle but also very angry since she left him with no way to contact after he got back from his Marine training.

Isabelle has loved one man in her whole life. They were high school sweethearts and promised they would be together forever. After Axel left for boot camp her life took a terrible twist. Her parents died in a car crash and she had to relocate to live with her grandparents. She wrote to Axel many times at the base where he was stationed but the letters came back stating he wasn't stationed there. She sent letters and the address of her grandparents' home to his foster parents' house so he could find her when he came back. She later found out from Axel's foster mother that he was dead. Weeks later, she found out she was pregnant and then miscarried the baby.

This story is filled with lies, misunderstandings, loss and forgiveness. Two people who were meant for each other finding their way home. It also has a great secondary cast of characters. I loved every single one of them. It shows us that not always having the facts can make us do things very much to our own detriment. But it also shows us that when things come full circle they are truly worth waiting for.

This was my first book by Sloan Harper and I've already downloaded the next two. This is one of my favorites of the year so far. It has everything you need, good story, good characters, a foul mouthed hero and hot sex.

I have a couple of my favorite lines from this book. I'll leave you with them.

When that day comes I hope Karma has some fun with that bitch, Fate.

After everything she has done, parading around with my vagina smiling at the world is a small price to pay.

I've waited for Donovan's book for awhile, so it not being wonderful was a disappointment but not a total loss either.

The Cast

Justin: Ass-hat who lost a bet and had to pretend he was Brett for a weekend-and while he was at it, decided to sleep with Kat as Brett. Son of the wealthy Slade family.

Brett: Justin's soldier buddy who died in the line of duty, was raised by his Aunt Mattie. Had never met, much less slept with Kat.

Kat: Slept with Brett (who was really Justin), then found out she was pregnant. Was raised in an extremely poor and abusive household. Wants better for her son. A reformed gold digger. Currently living with Aunt Mattie.

Aunt Mattie: Brett's aunt. Lost her husband and her nephew-both had been in the military. The news of her nephew's death caused a heart attack, leaving her in a fragile health state.

Connor: Young son of Kat and Justin. A model baby, always sleeping when the story requires it.


The Plot

Justin returns home after his stint in the military is finished. He heads over to Brett's aunt's house to confess his guilt over Brett's death. When he arrives, he discovers Kat living there with Connor, the son he didn't know about. Aunt Mattie believes Connor is her nephew's son. Kat pleads with Justin to not reveal Connor's paternity as Aunt Mattie's health is too fragile to handle such a blow. Justin reluctantly agrees, but demands to be a part of Connor's life.

This was a book about secrets. Everyone seemed to have at least one huge skeleton in their closet. Starting off with Justin's "Brett's not my name" secret, it was just one secret after another.

It was also a book about money. How having money or not having money can lead to different motivations. Justin is not afraid to throw his money around. Kat struggles to not chase after money.

Secrets and money are not a good combination for me. I can handle one or the other, but when you put them together, it gets too soap opera-ish for me. And that's what this book read like. A soap opera. The characters seemed a bit like stock characters. A hero with money and a secret. Check. A heroine with a secret and no money. Check. I just couldn't connect with either of them and their conflict didn't pull me in either.

Obviously, secrets and money don't work for me as a combination. Do you have any combinations that don't work for you, but are okay individually?

This started out a little rough for me. I had to push myself forward. I am glad that I did because this turned out to be a really good book.

There's this private military group called Titan. They help when the regular military can't. The mission in this book was to retrieve a disc that had human trafficking information on it. Colby Winters (from Titan) was sent to get it and he ended up with a whole lot more. Mia Kensington is a therapist who was fulfilling a client's last wish, which was to retrieve that same disc. She ends up kidnapped by a mountain of a man. A man she thinks is really hot but very dangerous.

I really liked both of the characters in this story. Colby was very alpha and Mia was a firecracker. I also enjoyed the secondary characters too. As a suspense fan, I was in heaven when the action really got going. There were some steamy love scenes also. I will definitely be reading the next book in this series.
