I really enjoyed Logan and Emma's story. I liked how this picked up where the first book ended. I wasn't thrilled with Tara or Jace. Emma was so great that she went back to Oklahoma when she found out and not stayed in New York. Logan had so much happen in such a short time. Emma really stepped ...
I really enjoyed this one. The other books in this series didn't really grab me like this one did. Silver is so funny and outrageous I loved it. Garrett is just... ahhh... Garrett. I laughed so hard when he walked in on his dad and Molly and he totally freaked out.I did wonder if all the lyin...

He dipped lower and kissed her mouth. She felt the new grown stubble on his face that made him look so rugged. Unlike at the ranch, he shaved everyday here. She missed seeing the shadow on his chin. She missed his cute ass encased in jeans too, since he’d worn a suit every day. But she sure hadn’...

It’s the middle of the night.” Maryann Morrissy cringed at her fiancé’s obvious annoyance. “Yes. Sorry, luv. Did I wake you?” She’d been trying to hit the keys as quietly as possible, but in the dead of night, everything sounded horribly loud. “Your racke...
BB sat up a little straighter at the sound of his name being barked from the doorway by his commanding officer. “In my office. Now.” “Yes, sir.” Oh, shit.

Fleeting and astonishing. His dimples flashed, deepened, and she forgot to breathe. She’d never seen a better-looking man in all her life. She felt a moment of sadness that he was so serious. A grin from the CEO, and world economic leaders and his own executives would see him as more than a finan...
Wade wasn’t there. He’d probably left. She shouldn’t have expected him to stay. He wasn’t the type. She was a stupid woman to assume— Her self-loathing was interrupted when she drew in her first deep breath of the morning and was hit with the aroma of fresh brewed co...

Following his instincts—believing in his gut feelings—was one of those things. Right now his sixth sense was kicking in strong. It had been for the entire last leg of the trip home. He couldn’t put his finger on what had him antsy and agitated. He also couldn’t ignore it any longer. The moment th...
That’s what Rick had to do because only an idiot got involved with the client while working a close-protection security detail. He was, by all proof, an idiot. Especially for thinking that what they’d shared had affected Sierra in any way. Pfft. She was more anxious to get away from him, or more ...
Chris agreed it was nice, if you didn’t mind being on something so small and getting tossed around like a toy boat in a bathtub. Personally, Chris preferred having a destroyer beneath his feet. Of course, most Navy ships he’d been on didn’t have wait staff distributing appetizer...
He was good. A natural. He moved with the horse’s motion rather than fighting it. His timing was perfect, almost as if he could read the animal’s mind and sense what it would do next. Watching him reaffirmed to Mason that his decision was the correct one. “Hey.” April’s soft voice behind him was ...
He turned toward Bucky’s stall to check on him one more time before heading home when he saw a figure clad from head to toe in mint green leaning over the stall door. Ellen. As unattractive as the boxy-shaped nurse’s scrubs were, she still looked good. He smiled. “Hey. I didn&rs...

All five of his teammates wore a similarly confused-looking expression in reaction to their leader’s vague orders to “suit up and let’s roll”. “Excuse me, sir.” He raised his hand and got the attention of the commander. “Could you clarify? What exactly is our assignment?” In the front of the room...
She could kill Trey. She knew he was walking just behind her, watching her ass in the tight black low-rise leather pants as she tried to walk in the stripper’s four-inch heels that were a size too big. “You’re a dancer, remember? Try to be a little more graceful,” he whispered behind her. She sho...
“Thanks for waiting for this meet.” “No problem. But I will say I’m happy you’re finally back in society instead of holed up in your honeymoon suite.

Guiltily, Crash glanced at the screen to see if Zippy was online with his sister. Crash and Trish had exchanged a few casual emails over the past few weeks. Him thanking her.

Judging by the bright sun she saw streaming through the window, it was late. No wonder he’d already gotten up. Work started early on a ranch. It was also no wonder she’d slept in. They’d both been up late. That they’d made love before dinner hadn’t helped them get to sleep any sooner, since they’...

The one guy’s name is Paulie the Pudge and the other guy’s name is Vinny Don’t Know?” Trey’s gaze moved from Jack to Matt.

You’re kidding, right?” Rick shook his head as he glanced around the men circling him on the back deck, the cooler full of beer and bags of ice conveniently at their feet. “I don’t believe it.” “Swear to God, dude.” Zane held his hand up like he was takin...
As Ryan had explained to Vicki before he had to tear himself away from her, the baddies used the darkness to cover their movements, just as Ryan’s squad hoped to cover their own as they pushed farther into the countryside.

Are you taking the tour today?” She sighed. “Is it Wednesday again already?” Robby laughed. “Yes. It is.” Beth groaned. She had dreaded Wednesdays and those lunchtime tours for weeks now. They only reminded her of Rick. The day they had met. The night that followed. The fact she hadn’t heard from...
