Black Dawn will be the newest release in the Titan Series by Cristin Harber when it hits shelves this summer! If you haven't read this series yet, DO IT! Black Dawn by Cristin Harber excerpt, Enjoy!: Jared walked in, giving Parker the eye that said he’d have to explain the lady reading a book in the war room. So this conversation was going to get so much worse. “What’s up?” Boss man grumbled. Winters gave him a look long enough to answer, but he didn’t, so he turned to Jared. “Parker’s got problems.” “I don’t have problems.” “Then he has a chick with a problem.” “Lady in my war room?” Jared’s eyes sliced to him. “Fix it.” “Yeah. Working on it.” Winters chuckled. Jared pushed, eyeing the dynamic between him and Winters. “Fixed soon? Fixed, when?” Parker rubbed his temples. “Think I need some time off.” Jared’s brows bit together. “You need time off for a problem that you haven’t explained with a chick I know nothing about who is sitting my war room?” “Yea...

It's Cover Reveal Day Two for Black Dawn, the newest issue of the Titan Series by Cristin Harber. To be released late spring/ early summer 2015! BLACK DAWN EXCERPT: She moaned into the kiss and bit his bottom lip. “God…” Apparently, that was the wrong thing to say because he stopped and left her cold and wanting. She wouldn’t beg, wasn’t that type of girl. But, inside, she could cringe and cry for something she hadn’t had in forever, a surge of passion. “What’s wrong, Parker?” Dark, hungry eyes studied her. “I know everything about you, except who you are.” “I’m me.” “Exactly.” She wanted to forget about everything on the outside world. “What does that mean?” “I’ve worked with you for years, didn’t know it. I protected you from your ex-fiancé’s crap, didn’t know that either. You’re vulnerable and offering me exactly what I want.” “What’s that?” He squeezed her body. “You.” “You’re saying no?” she whispered. “I’m not going to take you on a couch in a safe ...

   OMG I am in absolute love with this entire series. The Titan Group is a private security entity full of badass men and woman who handle things the US government can't.  Each Titan novel is packed with tons of high octane action and whirlwind romances. You can find all of my favorite book flavors mixed into the Titan cocktail. We have gun fights, car chases, explosives, kidnappings, the whole nine yards topped with enough spicy naughtiness to keep the heat up. The action doesn't stop.    Harber creates a whole world, with very in depth characters and locations. Cristin does so well with the characters that you know their personalities, likes, dislikes and how they are going to react to any given situation in the novels. And the locations are so descriptive that you can almost believe you just helped rescue a hostage from an Afghani mountain and then spent time in the poshest hotel in Abu Dhabi. Each book has a unique story line and can be read stand alone how...

    Stealing Justice is the first book in The Justice Team Series by Misty Evans and Adrienne Giordano and the only books I have read by these authors and was free on Amazon when I picked it up. To be honest, it's not very often that I am not 100% happy and totally in love with a book, but Stealing Justice let  me down.     The story has a good plot, good characters and plenty of action, but as the chapters roll on it gets tiresome quickly. The whole thing is so predictable. I knew who the killer was long before the characters ever came to the same conclusion, and were still chasing the "red herring," And the"red herring" was not believable, even for a minute, making me doubt the investigative abilities of the hero, CIA Agent Justice "Grey" Greystone. On top of the predictability was the redundancy.  The scenes and terms where all so repetitive. Fight, angry sex, make up, stake out, cupcakes,  fight, angry sex, make up, stake out, cupcakes, over and o...

   The Lies That Save Us is the first JL Redington book that I have read, and now I am a fan. This was a great read. The novel keeps you guessing from beginning to end, Redington gives nothing away and the surprises keep coming. In The Lies That Save Us, Redington brings us a ton of action and conspiracy with a little romance thrown in to keep things spicy and the pages turning.   The Lies That Save Us is the first book of The Broken Heart Series and was available as a free promotional download for Kindle on Amazon when I caught it. The series revolves around a FBI Agent Max Menetti and his team. The Lies That Save Us stars Max's daughter Alexa and his teammate Cayman in a whirlwind of confusion, chaos and conspiracy.   The Broken Hearts series is "mystery- suspense romance," and my warnings fall in line with the genre. There is a lot of action and graphic violence in the portrayal of that action. However, there is no graphic sex. There are some steamy make out sce...

I often brag on Maggie Shayne and The Littlest Cowboy just gives me more to talk about. Shayne flawlessly combines all of my favorite attributes in a book. She gives us a lot of amazing characters with great personalities and physical descriptions. Then there is the deep suspense, a ton of action, and a great romance. When Shayne tells you a story, you’re there. You can feel the tension and smell the gunpowder. The book and the entire series are “romantic suspense” so my warnings for them seem obvious. There is graphic violence, a lot, in many forms. Also, it contains graphic language and some sex. The sex isn't extremely graphic, nor is there a lot of it but it is there. Last, this is not a light fun happy read. It's tense and emotion packed. I know I had a tear or two come to eye.  The Littlest Cowboy is the first novel in The Texas Brands Series. The Series revolves around the Brand family, brothers Garrett, Wes, Elliot, Adam, and Ben and their sister Jessi and a bunch ...
