Former Delta Force operator Rhys Sinclair defied the odds by recovering from a traumatic brain injury that should have killed him. Given the chance to repay the beautiful doctor who saved his life by guarding hers, he can’t say no--even if it means facing an unknown threat from the cunning terrorist his CIA-sanctioned team had been hunting in Afghanistan. The catch is, she can't know about it without blowing their cover.

Trauma surgeon Neveah Adams is finally putting her life back together after her horrific experience in Afghanistan. Giving the keynote speech at a medical conference in Vancouver is her starting point. With Rhys there to watch over her she feels safe for the first time in months, and her biggest problem is trying to hide her intense feelings for him.

But Rhys knows something Neveah doesn’t. The terrorist who targeted her in Kabul is coming after her again, and he’s relentless enough to ensure all his past mistakes are erased with one final strike. Now that the nightmare from her past has resurfaced, Neveah has no choice but to put her trust in the one man who has the ability to break her heart, never knowing an assassin is closer than they realize.



Georgie’s Review

Rhys Sinclair is a Delta Force Operative on a mission in Afghanistan to save a group of American doctors being held prisoner by the leader of a terrorist group. He comes across Dr. Neveah Adams, huddled over the body of an injured co-worker, and after rescuing them is severely injured when his vehicle explodes, witnessed by Dr. Adams. Galvanized into action, she helps save him from the burning wreckage and all are air lifted to the hospital.

This book was a pleasant surprise. It is fast paced, laced with romance and steamy sex. The heroine is a real woman, tough yet all female and never a push over for her sexy, tall dark and mysterious hero. The action has you sitting on the edge of your seat, turning page after page because you dare not put it down until you find out what happens next.

If you like mysteries, thrillers and plenty of action with hot steamy sex thrown into the mix, this is the book for you.

Vahe Patten is a Watcher in the King's guard. The vampire king, that is. As a Watcher, Vahe executes vampires who break the only major vampire law: keep the secret. When Dylan Andrew starts leaving his murder victims for the human authorities to find, something must be done. While in Haven, Vahe enters the dreams of a woman plagued with nightmares of her past. When he sees Dylan flirting with her in a bar, he knows she'll be his next victim.

Natalya Woods just wants to avoid her ex-husband. The small town of Haven, Maine seems perfect until she's attacked in the street by, literally, the man of her dreams.



Georgie’s Review

Dylan and Vahe are brothers, vampire brothers. One is known as a Watcher, the other a rogue and they both want Natalya for two very different reasons. One wants to love her, the other wants to kill her. As well, the brothers have been pitted against each other by their king; an order given for the rogue vampire to be killed.

Natalya moved to the small town to escape her abusive husband. Not only does she have to worry about him finding her, she has to be careful of the rogue vampire who has been stalking her. When she meets the Watcher, she is drawn to him, almost without a will of her own and when they come together, they sizzle the pages with hot, steamy sex.

Fear of Darkness is a fast paced story with well developed characters. I was drawn into each scene, feeling the fear of vampires unleashed as each chapter unfolded.

Fear of Darkness is book one of the In Darkness We Dwell series by Honoria Ravena; I will be sure to look for book two.

Leslie thought she had it all, until Chris showed her the rest.
Another move and a bigger paycheck are all Leslie Teague depends on. Living the ‘no strings’ attached lifestyle has always worked for her…until she arrives in Phoenix.
She doesn’t like bad boy types of men, so why can’t she keep her hands off Chris Matthews, who also just happens to be her new neighbor?

tent warning, this book contains a fulfilled fantasy, adult language, and a life saved.



Georgie’s Review

Ms. Ely tells the story of a young woman who has moved to Phoenix, Arizona to pursue a new job. When she moves into her new apartment and meets her handsome neighbor, she feels an instant arousal.

The story is fast paced and confined to a weekend. Although I found the main characters not as well developed as I would have liked, Ms. Ely did portray a supporting character, a tired overworked nurse, in a somewhat realistic light. There was a hint of action but not enough to keep me engaged

For those looking for steamy sex, this is the book for you.
