Review: SEAL for Hire by Trish Loye

SEAL for Hire by Trish Loye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Entry number eleven in the Silver Seals series did not disappoint - but Trish Loye books rarely, if ever, do!

The story grips you from the beginning as CIA covert op Sutton is summoned to a fellow agent's home by a cryptic voicemail. Upon arrival, she is met by a shock and a life-threatening situation. As she chases the intruder/attacker out of her friend's apartment, she is somehow mistaken as the criminal. And then she discovers she is being hunted by a secret team of interdepartmental experts, led by former Navy Seal (and Sutton's former lover) Ryan, who believe she is selling information on double agents to other nations.

Ryan brings in his cousin, Dante (from Life's E.D.G.E. series), to assist him and the few members of his team that he trusts. They believe Sutton is innocent and are determined to both prove it and keep her alive.

Sutton and Ryan discover that feelings they thought they had buried are still surfacing and that a second chance at a relationship may just be possible - if they survive.

This was a great, edge-of-your-seat read that had several twists and turns. I hope there is a follow-up novel that focuses on the implied interest between Dante and FBI profiler (and human lie-detector) Mack.

I highly recommend this one!

It’s love. Trust me.

After a lifetime on the move, Ivy Snow is an expert in all things temporary—schools, friends, and way too many Mr. Wrongs. Now that she owns a successful taco truck in San Francisco and an apartment to call home, Ivy’s reinvented life is on solid ground. And she’s guarded against anything that can rock it. Like the realities of a past she’s worked hard to cover up. And especially Kel O’Donnell. Too hot not to set off alarms, he screams temporary. If only his whispers weren’t so delightfully naughty and irresistible.

Kel, an Idaho sheriff and ranch owner, is on vacay, but Ivy’s a spicy reason to give his short-terms plans a second thought. Best of all, she’s a tonic for his untrusting heart, burned once and still in repair. But when Ivy’s past intrudes on a perfect romance, Kel fears that everything she’s told him has been a perfect lie. Now, if only Ivy’s willing to share, Kel will fight for a true love story.

Review: Logan by Samantha Chase

Logan by Samantha Chase
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Logan, the youngest of all of the Blackthornes, always felt like he had the most to prove to the family. His secret desire, to run the Blackthorne business dynasty, has always seemed out of reach as Trey, the oldest of the seven Blackthornes, was second in command and heir-apparent to take over the reins once Graham Blackthorne stepped aside. In trying to be all things to all aspects of the Blackthorne businesses, Logan became the cliche "Jack of all trades but master of none.". One of his favorite places to be was running the Vault, the bar/restaurant next to the whisky distillery in Maine.

When taking over day-to-day management of the Vault while the manager is on vacation, a new server catches his eye. After an evening of sassy banter and flirtation, Logan realizes the new server is none other than Piper, the daughter of the housekeeper on the Blackthorne estate. Piper was younger than Logan, so they didn't run in the same circles growing up, and had moved away to college in West Virginia to become one of the few female gaming coders.

Piper has a job opportunity that will take her to Seattle and away from her widowed father indefinitely so she is very hesitant to start any kind of relationship with Logan. She highly respects his business skills and asks him to consult with two of her college friends that are thinking of starting a new company that she would be a part of. Piper's confidence in Logan plants the seed that maybe, instead of trying to run everything Blackthorne, he might be more satisfied venturing out into uncharted territory.

The author has stated that the movie "Sabrina" inspired her writing and there are glimpses of that influence throughout the book.

I highly recommend this book and truly enjoyed reading it.

Blurb:
Sydney Evans is no stranger to hard work. It’s the one constant in her life. And with no family or friends to speak of it’s been easy to pour everything she has into her career as general counsel for Blackstone Holdings.

She wants for nothing. Until her boss offers her a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. All she has to do in return is marry his good-for-nothing son.

Scott Blackstone used be a party whore. Pardon, party animal. He hasn’t been that guy in a long time though. Not since he moved to Wyoming, bought a failing cattle ranch, and turned it into a profitable business.

All is good. Until a phone call from his father threatens the quiet, simple life Scott's built. Marry or lose everything. And to a woman who can’t stand him, no less. Well, Scott is not going down without a fight. He’s never going back to Manhattan. Not if he can help it.

Review: On the Line by Liz Lincoln

On the Line by Liz Lincoln
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OMG I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!

It has a sexy, super-hot football player, Seth, who is a single father to a 12 year old daughter. Think Chris Hemsworth, but with more muscles. He meets Carrie, an out of work science teacher who loves to cosplay as Batman villainess Poison Ivy, when she forgets her wallet at the grocery store and he pays for her groceries then asks her advice on feminine hygiene products for his daughter. There is instant insanely hot chemistry between them as they discuss the pros and cons of pads versus plugs.

Carrie's brother was Seth's college roommate and helps Seth find a nanny for his daughter - Carrie. Cue the constant longing and unrequited lust felt by Seth and Carrie as she manages his household, helps Maddie with her homework and takes care of her when he is on the road with the team.

Time passes and the lust between them is no longer unrequited. Believe me when I say that the bedroom scenes are about as hot and steamy as you can get. They were tastefully written and, even though their relationship began as sexual attraction, you can feel the feelings develop and come to the forefront.

I had never read any other books by Liz Lincoln but I highly recommend this one and look forward to reading more by this author.

Review: Arrogant Boss by Olivia Hayle

Arrogant Boss by Olivia Hayle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was surprising on many levels. First, it had a beautifully developed portrayal of a young man who is high-functioning autistic. Second, the H, Julian, is the one of the couple who goes into the relationship thinking long-term. I enjoyed the verbal sparring between Julian and Emily, big sister to data coding prodigy Tanner.

Emily and Julian have a meet cute moment the night before Tanner is to interview with a company who could promise him a bright future. Emily, as his guardian (having taken the role after the death of their parents five years earlier), goes with him to the interview only to discover that the company is owned by Julian.

The banter between the two main characters was cute , funny, and steamy. Julian is extremely respectful of the boundaries placed on him by Emily.

I was curious as to whether or not the author was American, as she used tarmac instead of pavement and racing course in place of racecourse.

I would recommend this book to others and would definitely read more by this author.
