Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone. But now, this chief of police is recovering from being shot and his Southern charm has been overshadowed by panic attacks and nightmares. He feels like a broody shell of the man he once was. Nash isn’t about to let anyone in his life know he’s struggling. But his new next-door neighbor, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. As a rule, she’s not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash’s touch is different. He feels it too. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if exploring it is worth the risk.
Too bad Lina’s got secrets of her own, and if Nash finds out the real reason she’s in town, he’ll never forgive her. Besides, she doesn’t do relationships. Ever. A hot, short-term fling with a local cop? Absolutely. Sign her up. A relationship with a man who expects her to plant roots? No freaking way. Once she gets what she’s after, she has no intention of sticking around. But Knockemout has a way of getting under people’s skin. And once Nash decides to make Lina his, he’s not about to be dissuaded…even if it means facing the danger that nearly killed him.
A second chance, friends to lovers romantic suspense set in the Scottish Highlands.
Only You by Samantha Young is now live!
Once upon a time, Monroe Sinclair was Brodan Adair's best friend, but now he's a stranger and one of Hollywood's leading men... It took Monroe Sinclair eighteen years to return home to Ardnoch after a fateful night that devastated her friendship with Brodan Adair. She fled her unrequited love for him, as well as her difficult family life, and tried not to look behind her. Only a daughter's guilt could lure her back to the Highlands and the assumption that Brodan Adair rarely ever sets foot in their hometown. She can handle seeing the rest of the Adairs so long as she can avoid her ex-best friend and the only man she's ever loved.
Nothing is more important to Brodan than family, and only his demons have the power to keep him from them. For years, acting was something he was lucky enough to be good at, yet it wasn't his priority—Ardnoch and his siblings were. But when a ghost from his past returned out of the blue, Brodan tried to outrun its haunting, taking him further and further from home. When exhaustion finally forces him back to the family fold, the last thing he wants is to encounter another ghost. But that's exactly what Monroe Sinclair has been to him. When a promise to his nephew obliges Brodan to work with Monroe, it forces them to face their past. The explosive connection that has always existed between them resurrects truths long buried. Yet, just when they might be on the brink of a second chance, the ghost from Brodan's past finally catches up to him and threatens not just their happiness, but their very lives.
Time and space had done nothing to change his feelings for MaeBe.
The Dom Who Came In From The Cold by Lexi Blake is now live!
Kyle Hawthorne will do anything to protect MaeBe in this exciting new novel from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake.
Kyle Hawthorne once believed his future would be a job in the private sector—a simple, normal life. Fate had other plans and he wound up in the military. Some newly discovered talents caught the eye of the CIA, and in no time he was working with a covert team. He found himself in a relationship with fellow operative, Julia—until she turned out to be the enemy. When her betrayal was uncovered, things got bloody and Kyle returned home broken, searching for a chance to walk the road not taken.
MaeBe Vaughan has never been interested in normal. Her happy place is a dark corner of the Internet, where she disrupts all the bad guys. She has a great circle of friends and a full life. She doesn’t need a man. Until Kyle Hawthorne walked into her life. He’s all wrong for her. Surly. Damaged. His uncle is her boss. But she couldn’t help getting close to him. When his past threatened her safety, Kyle walked out without saying good-bye.
Kyle will do anything to keep MaeBe safe. He faked his death, hid in the middle of nowhere, and watched over her from afar. But when Julia resurfaces, he knows that to protect MaeBe, he’ll have to get close. So close that if they manage to survive, he will never let her go.
I can't lie, I've been excited for Kyle and Maybe's story...and I wasn't disappointed.
This one had everything a reader of this series (or author) could want and has come to expect.
Some time in a club? Check.
An interesting secondary plot that was full of interesting characters? Check.
A great romance? Check.
Some hilarious Ian and Taggart family moments? Check.
I had a great time reading this one. I loved them together and apart. I loved the character growth through the story that made it both interesting and compelling watching them get together.
It's also hard to review this one without spoilers, so I'm going to say that I had a lot of fun reading it, and your will too. But, if you haven't read the other books in the series, while you will still enjoy it, some of the inside jokes about the characters will not have their full meaning. So I recommend reading all of them in this series.
I enjoyed and recommend this title.

A clean-cut suit and a rebellious bartender act on their unlikely chemistry in this frisky Real Love novel.
Davis Price has had his eye on Grace Buchanan for a while now. Unlike the bubbly blondes he usually dates, the feisty, flame-haired bartender both intrigues and bewilders him. Something about her—the tattoos? the nose ring?—makes every part of him sit up and beg. There’s only one problem: She hates him. Trading insults and one-liners has become their M.O., but when Grace bets him that he can’t get a date with a non-blonde if his life depends on it, he’s determined to prove her wrong by landing the ultimate non-blonde: her.
Grace is used to regulars hitting on her at the bar. She’s turned them all down, except for one: Davis Price. She likes giving him a hard time, and he is kind of cute in his suit and tie—if you’re into that kind of thing. But after her bet with Davis backfires, their first date lands them in the sack. So does the second. And the third. They’ve convinced themselves that scintillating sex is enough, until want turns into need. Now they’re faced with a choice: end their physical relationship, or double-down on forever…
“A great balance [of] funny, sexy, sweet…” ~HarlequinJunkie.com
You can't rise from the ashes if you've never been burned.
When notorious mafia boss Danny Black and lethal assassin James Kelly join forces to hunt down a mutual, elusive nemesis that threatens to destroy them both and take control of their city, they know they will be entering a deadly game. A game they must win if they are ever going to live in peace with the women they love away from crime, corruption, and death.
But peace is an illusion, love is a daily torment, and death will always follow them.
As power starts to slip from their grasp, enemies re-emerge, and old, personal demons return to haunt them both, they finally accept they can never leave their world if they want to stay alive. So they need to protect it at all costs. No matter the consequences. No matter the losses. No matter the pain. They must make choices no men should make. Kill more ruthlessly, love more fiercely, and hate with more rage than ever before.
They're capable. Ready.
But nothing prepares them for the secrets they uncover and the betrayals they face. Or the personal sacrifices they must make to rise again.
Two men. One goal. No mercy.
This is The Rising.
I have no idea how to review this one without spoilers. Absolutely no idea.
So I'm going to tell you the things you need to know to read it.
It's absolutely, definitely not a standalone. If you are starting here, turn back and go to book one, you'll have no idea what's happening otherwise.
If you've read the other books, this is an excellent continuation of the story that grabs you from page one.
If dark romance, assassins and the mafia bother you, this isn't your book. Although you'd have given up by now... so if you're still reading you are as fascinated by these men and women as you were in the first books.
I loved the wild ride of this one and I can't wait for the next in the series.
I enjoyed and recommend this title.
