This is the second series I have read by Ranae Rose and I am still in love with this author!!! I didn't know if I would like this one because it's not my usual read but I have been stepping outside my box a lot lately and what better way than with an author I already love!!! This story was great,...
This was just a "meh" book. The description caught my interest - cops and tattoos? SURE. (Been trying to find some new authors so I've been trying new stuff). But... I don't know. This just didn't do it for me. The idea could have been good. But... everything was just kind of ... meh. The charact...
Karen has a gift. Her photography is art. The photograph she took of her friend Mina’s tattoo got her noticed and Karen is now a full time photographer. She is still doing tattoo shots for the clientele of the Hot Ink tattoo studio where Mina and her fiancé work. Ever since she met Jed, the o...
3-1/2 stars. This is one of those books that I desperately wanted to love, but didn't quite get there. Don't gets wrong; I liked it very much. It was a good book with nice character depth and a constantly moving story. BUT. Each time I was sucked into the plot, there would be some inconsist...
This was the first Ranae Rose book I had picked up to read purely on the basis that it is a hero in a uniform series and the story line had me intrigued but after giving this first one a go I have fallen in love with the way Ranae has such a knack for setting a scene and giving you such hot and l...
Sean traipsed into the trailer like a cow into a slaughterhouse. “Would I be here if I didn’t?” Randy grinned, hefted the case of beer out of Sean’s arms. “I’ll stick these in the fridge. Want one?” “Sure.” Randy tossed him a beer, then took one for himself. “Where’s dad?” Sean asked as he flippe...
He said her name, and her heart started misbehaving again. “It’s nice to run into you again.” His lips twitched, and she could tell he was trying not to wince. “I mean—” “I know what you mean,” she said, unable to resist a very genuine smile. “Actually, I was hoping to see you again.” That was no...
“Of course, like I said, the other guys I dated were pretty lame, so—” “Uh-uh,” he said. “You can’t take that back. Don’t even try.” She laughed. “I wasn’t trying to take it back. I was just saying—” “What’s it going to take to stop you from finishing that sentence?” He rolled over, putting his f...
Newish. Not over the top, but better than where she lived. All those facts registered in the nanosecond it took him to answer and open the door after she knocked. “Hi,” she said, unable to muster more than the single word as she stood at the threshold, clutching her purse. He was motionless for a...
“Well?” “It’s an old tradition,” Jack said. “When two wolf shifters are mated, they mark each other, on the shoulder, with their teeth.” “You mean a bite-mark.” Something clicked instantly in Mandy’s mind. “Like Clarissa’s…” Jack nodded. “The others have them too. Except for Violet.” Emotions fla...
Having overindulged in the punch provided for the festivities, he was unbearable. John stood on the opposite side of the room from Dirck, taking a modest sip of the same beverage, but it was impossible not to hear the man’s every word as he play-acted a ridiculous version of John’s en...
Knowing who he’d see, he opened his eyes. “Hey.” Ally approached the bed and gripped his left hand. Her eyes were wide, dark and traveling up and down his body, darting back and forth between his right arm and his face. “Hey.” Sleep still beckoned him, but he shoved the temptation away, focusing ...
Appointments were required, but the place didn’t seem very busy, and the receptionist at the front desk wrote Olivia in for a test. Five minutes later, a woman in vivid tropical flower-printed scrubs gave Olivia a paper cup and directed her to a bathroom where she could give a urine sample. Befor...
He paused to dress first, then remained in his human form – it’d be better if there wasn’t a gap between them during this. He’d be able to touch her … hold her. Being a wolf had its advantages, but common sense told him there were times when being human was best. The...
Clad in jeans, her comfiest flats and an oft-worn jacket, she felt casual enough for a day at Donovan’s garage. A day of web-surfing, anyway. She carried her laptop bag at her side as she stepped into the kitchen. “Okay.” Donovan wore old jeans and a black thermal shirt that clung to his shoulder...
Jack asked, removing a blackened marshmallow from the end of a pointed stick. “No, I’ll get it – I’m not supposed to sit for too long without getting up anyway. They say it can cause blood clots.” Mandy rose, placing a hand on Jack’s shoulder for balance. “I’ll walk with you.” Violet ignored her ...
The sun had already risen, pouring its light through the single window, announcing that the day had begun without him. He pressed his hand to his forehead, grimacing as he poured a cup of water from the ewer on the bedside table. It never worked when he attempted to rub away the dull ache between...
Autumn was Mina’s second-favorite time of year, surpassed only by spring. Normally stepping out of the apartment and into the pleasant weather with Jess at her side would have put Mina in a good mood, but as she locked the door, her stomach churned in a fit of nervousness. In just a few minutes, ...
“You make everything sound so rational. So good. I mean, the situation is bad, but… This is so different than dealing with this on my own. I can’t believe you’re willing to go through it with me.” She bit her inner lip again, causing a dent to appear as she continued to hold his gaze. “I don’t kn...
“You need to sit.” Mandy pulled out a chair from the small table in the middle of the kitchen area. Jack took the seat with a sigh. “All right, I’m sitting. Now will you keep it down?” “Fine.” She was careful to keep her voice low. “Now tell me what happened to you.” “Got shot,” he grunted, leani...
She tipped her head back, enjoying the sensation as the breeze combed through her hair. ‘Nice, huh?’ James asked, leaning on the balcony railing beside her. She smiled at him over her margarita. ‘Gorgeous.’ It really was. The ocean stretched endlessly, a brighter blue than any American waters she...
“Carrie?”Her eyes flew open. “Brendan?” Her voice trembled with shock. Where was the bear? Where was the monster that had fought it?Brendan pulled her into a fierce embrace. “Carrie! Are you all right? Are you hurt?” He grasped her by her shoulders and held her at arms’ length, scouring her body ...
“Dinnae push just yet,” the midwife said, keeping a trained eye fixed between Isla’s open thighs. “Just a wee moment longer and…” Isla sighed through her teeth, seizing fistfuls of the linen sheets and wringing them desperately. Her belly was as tight and hard as a rock, gripped by a contraction ...
How could she? This wasn’t as bad as if she’d been caught watching Damon in his bedroom, but it was a fairly close second. What would he think of her and her motives for eavesdropping? There was no way she could explain to him that she’d only wanted to have a look at him, to hear his voice, becau...
So when an almost-naked hunk ran by as Kelly exited through the shop’s front door, he caught her full attention. He was tall and muscular – that was gloriously obvious, even in darkness that was alleviated only by the glow of fluorescent lights that poured through the store’s large windows. Very...
