Amazing book and the first half of the duet!

After a one night stand Erin finds herself pregnant, but after three years she sees Demyan and he discovers her secret.

To say Demyan isn't happy to know what she had done is starting the obvious. But even though he wants to punish her, she is under her skin. That attraction and chemistry is still alive and well and overtakes the relationship.

A story chock full of danger, drama, suspense and intimate moments made this a must read for me. Erin knew what she did and why, not wanting her child mixed up in the Mafia world.

So well done and a delight to read!.

Wrenley and Alaric are so good together. Jessica brings us a moving, emotional and suspenseful story.

Both seem more than they should and the scars are deep but together they are healing.
Full of suspense, danger and a believable romance that pulls at the heart strings.

Wrenley witnessed her best friend's murder, and Alaric a detective, had been involved in more than he wants to through his work.

Such a heart warming and vulnerable feel in this book that has the suspense and action to keep one involved. Extremely well done!!

This was kind of unexpected and extremely good. Emotional and suspenseful.

When Lauren and Her daughter are being stalked by her ex, she fake dates Reed who finds it hard to discern real from fake.

It was a sweet at times, action and danger full this plot. Reed had his work cut out for him protecting Lauren and Charlee, but he finds something he didn't expect, delight in caring for them.

So well done. Nicole gives us a story relevant to the every day. I enjoyed the whole book. So good!!.

Brilliant book! Charlotte and Patrick were so great together.

Both working against Human trafficking, Charlotte counsels victims and OSI operative Patrick aka Hawk works to free victims.

Charlotte uncovers secrets that could bring down the ring and so they are hunting her when Patrick and his team step in to protect her.

So well done. These two bring the action and the emotion attached to this subject. They have intimate moments but not truly steamy but the relationship attachment is well done. Such a great read and looking forward to the next. ]]> Review7562129440 Sun, 11 May 2025 22:23:36 -0700 /review/show/7562129440 Tesh gave 5 stars to High Velocity (High Mountain Trackers HMT 2G Book 4) by Freya Barker
Oh fantastic book! Such a brilliant read!

When special agent Stephanie Kramer is sidelined because of health, she goes bush to stay in a trailer, but her peace is interrupted by Jackson Hart an amputee who now works with High Mountain Trackers.

Stephanie and Jackson are a beautiful match. Both searching for their place, but loathe depending on others but soon find life isn't a solo stint and it's OK to lean.

Full of danger, intrigue a genuine mystery and a load of suspense. This was an awe inspiring story that I just loved. Highly recommended! ]]> Review7562057410 Sun, 11 May 2025 21:33:50 -0700 /review/show/7562057410 Tesh gave 5 stars to Rescuing Nathaniel (Prey Security: Cyber Team #1; Special Forces: Operation Alpha) by Jane Blythe
What an awe inspiring book! Ava was this brave strong and has anever say die attitude. Where Nathaniel struggles with his self awareness and confidence but oh so protective.

When Ava who works for Prey in Cyber gets kidnapped and an organ stolen, she is found in the middle of the ocean by Seal Nathaniel who helps her escape.

Nathaniel had confidence in what he does just lets his past dictate his emotional welfare but Ava sees him and he her.

So much action, suspense, and intensity I couldn't help but be swept up in the story. These characters were so real life, their emotions palpable and allowing me to relax into the story.

Highly recommended that this book has to be a definite favourite.

I really enjoyed this book. Loads of action, danger and suspense.

When Kaya is taken into a prostitution ring she is looked after by the Don, and given to the new Enforcer Stefano.

These two really had that special chemistry although it wasn't all plain sailing. So much friction, misconceptions and danger make the most these two hands a very intense and tension filled relationship.

I really liked the addition of Valentino and the way his story was an extra feature. So many layers to the book it was a compelling plot.

So well done and highly recommended!!.

Wow loved this! Very emotional and yet had the suspense and mystery in an amazing plot.

When Blade and Arrow operative Rhi is targeted, long time best friend Hawk is there to help.

Hawk is flawed. He is over protective, and excessively worries about Rhi but only because of their history. But both have made past mistakes, and trying to work out a new reality despite the conditions they are dealing with.

But that chemistry is so strong they just need to get out of each other's way. I loved the whole team dynamic and how they all were there for each other.

So amazing I couldn't put it down. An fantastic plot and wonderful characters. I can't wait for more! So good!! ]]> Review7554215886 Thu, 08 May 2025 17:55:09 -0700 /review/show/7554215886 Tesh gave 5 stars to Broken Rules (Elite Men of Los Angeles, #2) by Missy Walker
Ok fireworks on this one.

When Summer shows up to direct her first feature film, she gets producer Lex who gets under her skin and not in a good way.

These two have so much friction in their relationship. They are attracted to each other but both need to stand their ground. But that chemistry and dynamic is just explosive from start to finish. Working together they eventually work out it.

So well done. Missy gives us an original story that is relevant and full of banter, intensity and eventually loads of intimacy. I loved Lex and Summer. Their vibe made this a must read till the very end. Can't wait for more!!

I really enjoyed these stories in this box set.

All books were full of action, danger intensity and suspense that took over the page. Each hot seal was out to save his damsel in distress and protect her with his life and she pretty much did it right back.

The chemistry between the guys and their ladies was explosive in a few of the stories and simmered in others.

My favourite was The Protective Seal between Franklin and Sam. These two struck me and that connection. Phew! But all stories in this set were a pleasure to read. ]]>
