**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Allison Parker was hanging at the local bar with her friends, lamenting her lack of a successful life when her psychic friend makes a prediction that may or may not change her life. While at the bar, she made some rude comments about a rock star who was at the bar and being mobbed by fans. When he heard her, to save face, she kept up with the snarky remarks. Rather than be totally offended at the brunette’s comments, Marco Lucky became intrigued. He was a little pleased that he finally found a woman that didn’t just fall at his feet for who and what he was. After leaving the bar, Allison takes her psychic friend’s advice and buys a lottery ticket. The next night, she actually wins the lottery. While she’s celebrating at the bar, Marco happened to wander in again, in hopes of seeing her again. What starts out as a night of happiness, becomes a night of inner reflection and just absolute connection with Marco. Whe...

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Gin Blanco is adjusting to being the top underworld boss in Ashland when someone seemingly tries to take a hit on her. As she digs further, it turns out she wasn’t the target although deep in her past she is intertwined with them. This was a really good book. It was full of action and plenty of characters that have been seen throughout the series. Enjoyable to current fans and anyone that is a fan of the urban fantasy books. Highly recommend.

Marley Addison is fed up with being taken for granted at Aegis. At the end of another job that she’s not allowed to go into the field for, she’s ready to walk out. So when her presumed dead boyfriend from several years ago calls her and tells her he’s very much alive and in danger, she doesn’t hesitate to take the company plane to Columbia to rescue him. Jake Ryder, former Navy SEAL and Aegis CEO, knows Marley is mad at him. When he gets back to the office though, he’s surprised to find that she’s gone. His gut tells him that this is something bad and not just a hasty vacation. As soon as he has an idea of where she went, he takes off, determined to protect her at any cost. The first thing I have to say is that I wanted to smack Jake upside his head for being so bull headed. I could totally sympathize with his inner turmoil, but I found myself yelling at him a lot for the decisions he repeatedly kept making. Right from the bat I really liked Marley. She definitely seeme...

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** Darcy Henry is on a police special task force that specifically targets and exterminates vampires. On an OP, the newest vampire in question literally, and quite nakedly, falls right into her lap. Vampire Quentin Albermarle is in town looking for the same vampire that Darcy's task force is looking for. When he convinces them to take him to their captain, they strike a deal where everyone wins. Especially Quentin since his new primary target is Darcy. This story turned out not quite the way I expected, which was good. This is probably the first full story I've read from this author, so I was curious as to how it would be. At first, I thought Quentin was a bit pushy with Darcy, but as the story progressed you understood a bit more. Considering the love triangle, which caused some HAWT scenes, I really liked how the author handled it. Overall, really good story. I would recommend it to anyone that likes these gen...

**I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review** First, from a woman who literally needed rescuing and the man she rescued to a woman who went to be tested for an ulcer because of the stress in her life and ending up with an engagement ring on her finger. To a couple working very hard to get out of debt and spending very little time together and the wife being the one that put them into debt, yet still loving each other and helping others. Some stories were really awesome and some were more on the good level. All of the stories were wroth reading. I highly recommend.
