Review of Lock and Load by Kimberley Troutte

Lock and Load (SEAL EXtreme Team, #2)
Charlie is a Navy SEAL whose team is on leave because of something he and his brother Willy did. During this time he's been building and playing online games and forming an attachment to one particular person, Hot Girl. Unfortunately, he's yet to get her to meet him in the real world. Amber is a hacker trying to find a legitimate job. When she's promised one at a major game company if she can perform one final hack, she jumps at the chance. Turns out, the job offer was bogus in order to get her to hack into something that makes her a traitor to her country. Now she's running for her life. When her dad arranges a group to help her, she can't help but notice that one of them has a VERY familiar voice. Now she must convince them that she's not really a traitor.
I can't help but express how much I really liked these two characters. While many of Amber's antics were more youthful rebellion, you can't help but feel sorry for her. She's very smart and very good at what she does. She's finally trying to go legit, only to have another male in her life let her down. This makes it hard for her to trust people, but luckily with having already "known" Charlie for a while, she's able to give more of herself including the ultimate sacrifice. Charlie is one that enjoys life, games, women, and yet is willing to die for his country. But the more he connects with Hot Girl, the less he finds himself wanting to live like that. Once he meets her in person, he has one goal in mind, convince Amber how real everything was and that she's the only one for him. Oh, and prove her innocent of treason.
I'm still fairly new to the SEAL genre, but the more I'm reading them, the more I'm loving them. This was a definite favorite and must-read to anyone that likes this genre.

Review of The Rest of My Life by Sheryl Browne - 5 Stars!!

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Adam slept with Lisa, who was a married woman. Nathanial was Adam's only friend. Nathanial was the marina's manager. Sienna is renting a cottage with her best friend Lauren. Sienna had to re-edit her romance script. Sienna wasn't sure if she believed that love conquered all anymore. Even though he was a womanizer, Sienna was attracted to Adam. He was also attracted to her, but knew he should stay away. Sienna was naive as far as passionate experiences went and her ex-boyfriend made her question whether or not she was frigid. She was a kind, warm and loving person trying to get a little breathing room from her dad. She loved her dad and even understood.  I really loved her character and her defending of those she cared for. Adam had been messed up from a previous relationship and saw his ex-fiance's ghost a lot. He had affairs to take away the pain and loneliness and drank for the same reason. Howeve

Review of Ignited by Laurie Wetzel - 4 Stars

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maddy was dating an angel, MJ. MJ is a protector who has broken a lot of rules, but some he had to keep. MJ told Maddy she was his heart and he would fight before he would let anyone take her. Maddy had some special powers of her own. The characters were good, especially Maddy, who was overwhelmed with powers she couldn't control and the love she couldn't state and MJ. The plot was good as was the overall story. It dragged a little bit, but overall a good story. I recommend, although I didn't like the ending.

Review of The Wedding Reject Table by Angela Britnell

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Maggie was at a wedding reception and at the reject table, met a handsome man named Chad Robertson. He was from Tennessee and he was an attorney. Maggie was a cake decorator and childhood friend of Fiona, the bride. Maggie and her sister Emily had formed Two Heart Catering two months before. Emily called Maggie away from Chad as the cake had been ruined. Maggie was the responsible and reliable half of the company. Emily was the creative cook. Chad was attracted to Maggie and recently he had decided he was bored. Emily is the drama queen, and even though she's younger, Maggie has been brought up to take care of her. Maggie is a very loyal and responsible person. She can be very caring and loving. She can also be stubborn at times. She was usually very sensible who learned to let go some and also found love. I liked her character. Chad was a charming Southern man. He was a good guy, kind and caring. He changed thro
