• With a Twist by Sawyer Bennett

    Posted on by Karen Comment

    Wyatt Banks is ready to give one woman the world. Unfortunately, his job as a cop tends to interfere with other goals. When Wyatt is sent deep undercover to investigate a sex slave ring, he doesn’t have time to do anything but focus on staying alive in a dark and dangerous underworld. 

    Wyatt isn’t alone though in his quest to save the women that are being sold into sexual slavery. 

    His partner, FBI Agent Andrea Somerville, is immersed just as deeply as he is, and she’s the bait to lure the sex slavers out into the open, as she poses as an erotic dancer in an attempt to snare the enemy. But danger runs as high as the sparks between them, and now Wyatt is caught between the job he loves and the woman he wants. 
    I binge read the series so that I could read this book and know who is who.  You technically don’t have to, but I suggest you do. Wyatt always had a supporting role in the other books, but I was really happy that he got his own book.

    I love how Wyatt’s story wasn’t like all the others.  Wyatt goes undercover to take down a slave trade ring.   Andrea’s past skills as a stripper helps her as she too goes undercover.  When she first sees Wyatt she feels an instant attraction to him.   Andrea’s character is not all hurt and jaded like some lead characters are.  She uses her hurt and doesn’t let it stop her in life.  She has her mind on straight.  Until it comes to Wyatt.  

    I like how they are all twisted up over each other, but it Andrea who “gets it done”.  They are a match made in heaven, or a strip club….whatever!

    Synopsis

    Raine Kendall has been in love with her boss, Macen Hammerman, for years. Determined to make the man notice that she’s a grown woman with desires and needs, she pours out her heart and offers her body to him—only to be crushingly rejected. But when his friend, very single, very sexy Liam O’Neill watches the other Dom refuse to act on his obvious feelings for Raine, he resolves to step in and do whatever it takes to help Hammer find happiness again, even rousing his friend’s possessive instincts by making the girl a proposition too tempting to refuse. But he never imagines that he’ll end up falling for her himself.

    Hammer has buried his lust for Raine for years. After rescuing the budding runaway from an alley behind his exclusive BDSM Dungeon, he has come to covet the pretty submissive. But tragedy has taught him that he can never be what she needs. So he watches over her while struggling to keep his distance. Liam’s crafty plan blindsides Hammer, especially when he sees how determined his friend is to possess Raine for his own. Hammer isn’t ready to give the lovely submissive over to any other Dom, but can he heal from his past and fight for her? Or will he lose Raine if she truly gives herself—heart, body, and soul—to Liam?



    Raine has been in love with Hammer since the day she met him.  Seeing him with that plastic witch today pushed her to her limit.  Either he accepts her as a woman and makes her his, or she is out of there.

    Hammer has loved Raine since he took her in.  What he wants from a slave, he can’t see Raine giving.  But if he can’t have her, no one will.

    Liam has done nothing but watch how much Hammer neglects Raine.  Not giving her what she wants and needs.  The Dom in him is so upset at Hammer, his best friend, that if he wont give Raine what she needs, then Liam will.  

    This is one hot love triangle.  Neglect, passion, love, indecision, deception, unconditional love, this book has it all.  Including a blasted cliffhanger!!!!!   I ate this book up in less than a day.  I already bought book two and pre-ordered book three.  I cannot see what happens to the three people.  I would go into what I loved about this book, but then I would be telling you too much.  Read it with your BOB close by!

There is a group of men that were brought together by the World Council called MYSTIC, a group of men with multiple powers. They are only brought in on to deal with Nefariouses.

    Synopsis:


    Katie’s world came crashing down in an instant.

    Her husband, daughter, and unborn baby. . . all gone in a flash. The life that she’d come to know, gone before she ever really got to live it.

    With a broken heart, she deals the only way she knows how, by shutting it all off. No communicating, no feelings, just pure nothingness.

    Alone with nothing but her own thoughts and a well meaning family, she moves back to her childhood home, a horse farm. It’s there that she finds herself healing along with the horses her family rehabilitates. But when Parker McKenzie comes back into her life she’s reminded of all that went wrong, and all that she lost.

    Will Katie ever begin to heal? Or will her secrets and loss be too much for her to overcome?

    Perhaps, this is her kismet.





    This book is a love story that had me crying from page 1 through the last.  I mean this is a heart wrenching book.  But, it was that good that I could not put it down.  If you loved Titanic, then this is a book for you.  

    Teenage love lost, new love found.  New love and someone very special is lost, teenage love regained. 

    This may not be the HEA you think you would like, but, one you can put down. 5 Hearts!

  • Dance with Destiny by Sloan Johnson

    Posted on by Karen Comment
    Tony DeLuca has to get to New York, nor’easter be damned. His older sister is getting married and it won’t matter to her if the entire east coast is shut down if it means she’s short a groomsman. She’s the only reason he’s willing to make the trip home to face a father who’s never forgiven him for wasting a perfectly good degree to become a firefighter. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to everything about Tony that his father will never accept. 

    Dominic Tricoli’s living his dream. He’s spent the past few years working to mesh his business degree and love of the outdoors into a thriving company, providing team building retreats for some of the country’s largest corporations. Unfortunately, there’s a price to pay for happiness, and having someone to come home to at night is the sacrifice Dominic made. 

    When Dominic overhears Tony’s plight, he’s drawn to help the man get to New York City. Little does Dominic know that one kind gesture will awaken a side of him he’s ignored for far too long. Against his better judgment, he gives in to his desires and Tony’s advances. Just for the night. 

    When destiny steps in, giving him another chance with the charismatic man who saved his hide, Tony’s willing to do whatever it takes to earn Dominic’s forgiveness and understanding. There may not be forever, but Tony’s determined to enjoy every single minute he’s given with Dominic. 

    You can’t fight fate. Whatever’s meant to happen, eventually will.

    I have to say that while reading this book, I can honestly say that the story could have easily been about a man and a woman rather than two men.  And, I mean this as a great complement.

    This book is more than two people being pushed together by fate, destiny, or serendipity.  This book is about love and about being who you really are.  

    Tony is that big hunky alpha male anyone would want to warm their bed.  Dom loves and loves with his whole being.  They each have their own baggage and together they will get through it.  
    The reality that there are parents who are still close minded and turn their backs on their own children, breaks my heart.  

    Love is love. It is precious and should be embraced no matter if it is a man and a woman, two men, or two woman.  

    This book embodies that premise.  4.5 Hearts!



    So much for never seeing one another again. Had I known that I was going to see Dominic this weekend, I might have tried harder to make things right with him Thursday night. If I’d realized the Cara he mentioned was marrying his college roommate was my sister, who I’ve always called Caroline, I wouldn’t have touched him no matter how much I wanted to. Actually, that’s probably not true, because he’s damn fine and I’m not stupid enough to pass up an opportunity when it presents itself. But I definitely wouldn’t have walked away until I knew that neither of us had any regrets.
    I trip over my feet as I follow the rest of the groomsmen into the front of the cathedral, my attention focused on the man sitting next to Mr. and Mrs. Rossi, looking like he’s just been scolded.
    Dominic was gorgeous the night we met, but now, he’s downright breathtaking. I take my place in line and, because God has a twisted sense of humor, I’m going to be stuck knowing that Dominic is directly behind me for the next hour and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.
    As we wait for what seems like forever for all of Caroline’s bridesmaids to make the mile-long trek to the front of the cathedral, I try to catch Kennedy’s attention. Thursday night, I told her everything. After telling her about the sexy-as-fuck scene in the truck, I went on to tell her how much it annoyed me that Dominic and I parted on bad terms. She agreed with Dominic that there was no need to feel anything since we’d never see one another again. When Kennedy finally makes eye contact with me, I nod ever so slightly to my left and watch as her eyes threaten to bug out of her head. “Oh, my God. Is that him?” she mouths. I nod subtly. “Are you going to talk to him?” she asks. I shrug, and catch the attention of my older brother, who is standing directly behind me.
    “Anthony, quit talking to your girlfriend,” he hisses. “Caroline needs you to make her the priority for the next hour, then you can run off and find a quiet corner to do whatever it is the two of you do.” I close my eyes tightly before glancing at Dominic, finally realizing that he probably thinks the same thing I’ve led most of my family to believe all these years. The urge to elbow Peter in the gut to show him exactly what I think of his comment is strong, but I’ve already made enough of a scene. If he noticed, I’m sure other people have as well. And sure enough, Dominic is now glaring at me. He looks across the aisle and his entire body stiffens when he notices Kennedy sitting with my family. I need this wedding to hurry the fuck up so I can get a drink.
    The music changes and everyone stands and turns to see Caroline and our father walking down the aisle. I take the opportunity to admire the way Dominic’s suit jacket hangs off his shoulders. The subtle pinstripes act as beacons, drawing my eye down to his narrow hips, and suddenly I’m standing in the cathedral with a semi, thinking about the tight ass beneath those perfectly tailored pants. Go straight to Hell. Do not pass Go, do not collect two-hundred dollars.
     


    Sloan Johnson is a big city girl trapped in a country girl’s life. While she longs for the hustle and bustle of New York City or Las Vegas, she hasn’t yet figured out how to sit on the deck with her morning coffee, watching the deer and wild turkeys in the fields while surrounded by concrete and glass.

    When she was three, her parents received their first call from the principal asking them to pick her up from school. Apparently, if you aren’t enrolled, you can’t attend classes, even in Kindergarten. The next week, she was in preschool and started plotting her first story soon after.

    Later in life, her parents needed to do something to help their socially awkward, uncoordinated child come out of her shell and figured there was no better place than a bar on Wednesday nights. It’s a good thing they did because this is where she found her love of reading and writing. Who needs socialization when you can sit alone in your bedroom with a good book?

    Now, Sloan is a tattooed mom with a mohawk and two kids. She’s been kicked out of the PTA in two school districts and is no longer asked to help with fundraisers because she’s been known to lose herself with a good book and forget she has somewhere to be.
