Wrecked was a fast, sexy read. Asher was sexy as sin and a bad boy. Payton was just a girl who wanted a fresh start. The story started off a little dirty, but I was pulled into the love that they ended up building together. The unexpected love that neither one saw coming. I love that kinda story.

The first time Asher and Payton met in a way wasn’t the norm, he had a woman going down on him as she walked into a room. I would’ve have ran out of there if it was her, but she didn’t. She was glued while embarrassed, a little angry, but a lot turned on. Their romance started fast and it was full of sex. Somewhere along the way, the story turned really serious as it shows us Payton’s past that she had been running from. A past that reminded me a little bit of what I went through. I felt Payton’s pain and fear of what the man that should’ve loved her put her through and kept putting her through. Payton may have thought herself as weak, but she as nowhere near that. She was the strongest for running when she had the chance and forgiving love another chance. I enjoyed this story and I will definitely read more of this author's work.

In this third and final installment of the Lawless Series, Lexi Blake has turned up the notch in heat, suspense, and unexpected twist and turns as she has readers like myself on the edge of their seat as we await the epic conclusion of this series and the much anticipated story of Drew Lawless.

I want to be the reason you need, Shelby. I want to be the only one you want. I’m willing to take the risk that you’ll use me for the time we’re together because I want you that badly. So kiss me because you want to. Kiss me because it’s part of our cover. I don’t care why as long as you kiss me.”

Revenge was a fast paced romantic suspense that continues off from the last book and so I highly advise readers to read the first two books in order to know what is going on and who are the key players in the story line. We all know Drew’s quest for revenge and so toss in Shelby Gates, a feisty investigative reporter whom we met in Satisfaction into the mix then it’s pretty much given Lexi Blake will hold you hostage as these two will take us on a whirlwind where truths, lies, secrets, duplicity are unfolded and exposed. As Drew and Shelby work together, danger begins to creep upon them threatening their safety and Drew’s siblings. How far will Drew go for revenge and to protect the people he loves?

She’d looked at him with hot eyes and asked him to make love to her. He wasn’t a man who made love. He fucked. So why did he find himself nodding and agreeing? Because this meant more to him.”

Lexi Blake is one of those authors who doesn’t need plenty of chapters to hook you because once you start reading the first page you are automatically hooked. She has this ability to hold you hostage and let me just say this series had consumed me. I wanted to know every tidbit of information and family secrets. And Revenge was one of those books that demanded your undivided attention. Drew and Shelby’s relationship was palpable and intense from the start and as a reader, we knew these two were a perfect match for each other as they healed and pieced broken pieces within each other. So all there is left to say is go read this book and series as the writing was phenomenal and the characters were intriguing.

In Erika Wilde’s latest installment in the Vegas Heat Series, she beautifully tackles two intertwining stories that unites four individuals to revisit their past, unravel secrets and decide what the future may have in store for them. In Take A Chance, Wilde encourages readers to take a chance on love, trust, and forgiveness.

His life as ex-con man had taught him a lesson to be a better man and so when his boss Caleb assigns him a case, Sean is forced to face his past as he needs to get close to the daughter of the man, who betrayed Sean’s father.

Game of Chance by Erika Wilde was a sexy fast paced romantic suspense with all the bells and whistles of steam, action, raw emotions and passion. With Wilde’s knack of weaving intensity, drama and romance, Game of Chance will have readers on the edge of their seats as readers are taken to a dangerous world where darkness, sex, human trafficking and a prostitution ring exist. In this city known for sin, two strangers goes undercover to take a chance on saving and rescuing a young girl before it's too late.

He absolutely hated the idea of taking her undercover with him, but at least this way he’d have some semblance of control over the situation and know where she was at all times. Rather than constantly running interference or worrying about her welfare.”

Nathan Fox is a former Marine and Las Vegas vice cop, who knows loss. Hell, he first hand experienced it when he couldn’t save a young girl from prositution. Ridden with guilt, Nathan takes on a private case where he must save a young runaway girl who has been manipulated by an older powerful man. A man who preys on young innocent girls.

Nicole Hutton is a journalist who is looking to hit it big. She wants to write something that means something not the fluff pieces that her work wants her to write about. When Nicole was assigned to write a dating special, she had to attend a speed dating event and that is where she meets Nathan, who was there as a favor for a friend. Instantly, these two hit it off and both decided n a one night stand. As Nicole was leaving the next morning, she accidentally sees a case file that was about a missing girl and the powerful man, who has a penchant for young girls.

Her mouth was warm and sweet and so generous, pulling him in, offering him everything he’d ever wanted. Everything he needed. And in return, he ached to give her a slow, soft seduction that promised to last a lifetime. If she was willing to give them a chance.”

Preying on young naive girls hits a spot for Nicole as she too was a victim when her college professor preyed on her. Wanting to report something meaningful, Nicole wants to expose this man as the corrupt villain he is. And so Nicole decides to go undercover with the help of Nathan. Together these two discover that Preston is nothing but a scumbag who drugs innocent naive girls for sex. Preston preys on their vulnerability and lures them with lavish gifts but slowly takes a piece of their souls as these young girls finds themselves addicted to drugs and alcohol. As Nicole and Nathan slowly infiltrates Preston’s inner circle, they too also discover that this thing between them is something more. More than just sex. It was blinding passion and love for one another. But what happens when danger threatens the safety of Nicole? Will Nathan be able to save Nicole as well as the young girl that he was assigned in saving?

But before he could say anything at all, she leaned into him and pressed her lips to his in a reverent kiss. The slow , sweet kind that spoke from the deepest part of her heart and soul. The kind that made him believe that after they were done with this case, they might just have a chance at a future together. He was counting on it.”

Trust me when I tell you that I couldn’t put this book down. Game of Chance was a thrilling romantic suspense that will hold you hostage as you are immersed into a world where light collides with darkness and where two strangers are brought together for one purpose that leads into something more. For Nathan and Nicole, they didn’t expect their undercover work would leave to love but it did. They took a chance on saving those girls and they too will soon discover that taking a chance on love is worth all the risk. So if you are ready to take a chance on a love story that was sexy, suspenseful, thrilling and edgy then this book is definitely for you. I seriously can’t wait for the next book and see what Erika Wilde has in store for the other characters.

Forbidden Promises is the fourth installment in The O’Malley’s Series and while this book can be read as a standalone, I highly advise you to read the first three books since secondary characters play a crucial integral part of the story line. With that out of the way, now onto the review.

Sloan O’Malley has lived a very sheltered life even though her family is part of the Irish mafia. This life that she has now is not the life that she wants and so when the opportunity presents itself her to start over, she takes it. While she is adjusting to her newfound freedom and job, she meets a neighbor who intrigues and sparks her interest.

Jude McNamara knows that he should stay away from Sloan O’Malley. She drips with innocence and he just has no time to deal with that. Or does he? Jude only cares for revenge since he is the last surviving one of his family. In his quest for revenge, what happens when Sloan interrupts his life? And what happens when feelings and attraction collides with danger?

Forbidden Promises was indeed a real page turner. Robert’s did a terrific job blending the themes of family, romance, suspense, and revenge into the story line. She allowed readers to finally see the real Sloane come out of her shell. The once perceived little meek mouse does have a backbone and it was great to finally see that showcased in this installment. As I said earlier, yes this book can be read as a standalone but I highly urge you to read the previous books of this series to see how far the O’Malley family has come along.
