The mysterious new guy in town has made it clear that he's only passing through, which suits Mallory just fine. Besides, his lean, hard body and sexy smile will give her plenty to remember once he's gone . . . 

For the first time in his life, Ty can't bear to leave. Helping this sexy seductress-in-training walk on the wild side is making him desire things he shouldn’t-including leaving the military for good.

Lucky in Love

Lucky in Love is the 4^th book in Lucky Harbor series from author Jill Shalvis. From the back cover.~

Sometimes it’s good to be bad…

Mallory Quinn has had enough of playing it safe. As a nurse and devoted daughter, she takes care of everyone but herself. And as the local good girl, she's expected to date Mr. Right. But for once, she'd like to take a risk on Mr. Wrong. And who could be more wrong than Ty Garrison? The mysterious new guy in town has made it clear that he's only passing through, which suits Mallory just fine. Besides, his lean, hard body and sexy smile will give her plenty to remember once he's gone . . . 

For the first time in his life, Ty can't bear to leave. Helping this sexy seductress-in-training walk on the wild side is making him desire things he shouldn’t-including leaving the military for good. As their just-for-fun fling becomes something more, Mallory and Ty wonder if they could really be this lucky in love. After all . . . anything can happen in a town called Lucky Harbor.

I was lucky enough to get an early copy of Lucky in Love from NetGalley and have since bought it for my keeper shelf. I’m a huge fan of Jill Shalvis and she has been an auto-buy author for me for years.

I loved Lucky in Love so much. When Mallory, Amy, and Grace are stranded together during a freak storm that hits Lucky Harbor, they form their very own chocoholics group and a great friendship begins. During their first meeting Ty shows up hurt and Mallory, Amy and Grace come to his rescue. Ty even promises to be Mallory’s date for the fund raiser she is chairing, although with his head injury, he doesn’t really remember.

Mallory is tired of waiting around for Mr. Right, so figures she might as well have some fun with Mr. Wrong…and Ty totally fits the bill. He is only in town until he is well enough to go back to work and makes no bones about the fact he has no desire to stay in Lucky Harbor. However, the attraction between Ty and Mallory is off the charts. So much that they can’t even keep their hands off each other at the fund raiser and sneak off for super steamy quickie. For two people who don’t want anything but right now, Ty and Mallory soon seem to spend pretty much all their free time together.

Mallory still needs the support of her new friends to get her through the ups and downs of a relationship that isn’t really supposed to be a relationship. I loved how quickly the 3 women bonded and how realistic their friendship really was. Ty and Mallory were really great for one another. Their sexual chemistry was amazing, but they also formed a wonderful friendship as they spent more and more time together.

The official release date for Lucky in Love was May 22, 2012 and can be found at your favorite bookstore or online retailer. Up next in the series is At Last and is set for release in July 2012.

If You Were Mine

If You Were Mine is the 5^th book in the Sullivan Family series from Bella Andre. From Amazon’s website.~

Can two people who have both sworn off love find forever in each other's arms? Find out in IF YOU WERE MINE, the fifth book in Bella Andre's bestselling Sullivan family contemporary romance series.

The last thing Zach Sullivan wants is to take care of his brother's new puppy for two weeks. Until he meets the dog trainer, that is. Heather is bright, beautiful, and he can't stop thinking about her. Unfortunately, she just might be the only woman on earth who wants nothing to do with him.

Heather Linsey can't believe she's stuck working with one of the city's top dogs, auto-shop tycoon Zach Sullivan. Especially when his focus is clear from the start—not only to learn how to deal with his temporary puppy...but also to make her his. Having sworn off love at seventeen when she realized it was nothing more than a pack of lies, Heather has stuck to her vow never to fall for a charming man.

But as Heather's determination to push Zach away only fuels his determination to get closer—and the sensual and emotional connection between them grows more and more undeniable—will the biggest Sullivan bad boy of all tempt her into believing in love again?

I’m a huge fan of Bella Andre and pre-ordered If You Were Mine as soon as there was a release date. I love spending more time with the entire Sullivan clan in each book. I’ve always liked Zack in past books, so when I saw we would be getting his story, it made me very happy.

Zach has always lived a bit of a charmed life. However, when he is left a new puppy to puppy sit for while his brother takes his family on vacation, he quickly learns he is in over his head. Enter dog trainer Heather Linsey and Zach’s world is getting ready to be turned upside down. I loved Heather from the moment she was first introduced. She wasn’t willing to fall at Zach’s feet as every other woman had his entire adult life. When Heather’s dog Atlas falls for Zach’s temporary dog Cuddles, Heather and Zach find themselves spending more and more time together.

The attraction between Heather and Zach is obvious from their very first meeting. However, neither is looking for more than “friends with benefits” because of issues both have in their past. Once they do finally give in to their attraction, it was super sexy. Zach and Heather’s “friends with benefits” relationship soon looks like it is becoming so much more. Heather and Atlas continue to be there to help Zach and Cuddles (I love how Atlas and Cuddles love each other so much).  Zach is there for Heather when she has to have dinner with her parents, and Heather is there for Zach for the birth of his new niece.

Zach and Heather are both such strong characters and I loved them together. I really wanted Heather to confront the people who caused her demons from the past, but that is the only thing I wanted to happen that didn’t in this book.  Bella Andre has always given her readers books filled with a wide range of emotion, and she delivers again with If You Were Mine. At any given time I could be laughing, crying, or yelling/cursing one of the characters.

The official ebook release date for If You Were Mine was May 24, 2012 and is available from your favorite online retailers. Up next for the Sullivan clan will be Ryan’s story, and I can’t wait for it to be released.

Lethal Rider

Lethal Rider is the latest book in the Lords of Deliverance series from Larissa Ione. From Amazon's website.~

 They're here.

They ride.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Born of a match between good and evil, four siblings stand between hell's minions and everything they want to destroy. They are the Lords of Deliverance, and they have the power to ward off Doomsday . . . or let it ride . . . 

LETHAL RIDER

Thanatos, the most deadly Horseman of the Apocalypse, has endured thousands of years of celibacy to prevent the end of days. But just one night with the wickedly sexy Aegis Guardian, Regan Cooper, shatters centuries of resolve. Yet their passion comes with a price. And Thanatos must face a truth more terrifying than an apocalypse-he's about to become a father.

Demon-slayer Regan Cooper never imagined herself the maternal type, but with the fate of the world hanging in the balance she had no choice but to seduce Thanatos and bear his child. Now, as the final battle draws closer and his rage at being betrayed is overshadowed by an undeniable passion for the mother of his child, Thanatos has a life-shattering realization: To save the world, he must sacrifice the only thing he's ever wanted-a family.

I’m a huge fan of Larissa Ione, so when I saw Lethal Rider up on NetGalley, I was super excited to get an early copy. I can’t say I loved Than in the other books, but did want to know more about him. I loved Than and Regan’s book! Can honestly say it is my favorite of this series so far.

Both Regan and Than are such strong characters and seemed to be stronger when together. I loved Regan from the beginning. She didn’t think she could be a good mother because of her background, yet would do anything to protect her baby…even if that means giving her baby to someone else to raise. However, that can only work if Than stays out of the picture until after the baby is born. It seems that not even his brother and sister can keep him away from Regan and their unborn child.

Things get crazy as Pestilence is trying to kill Regan and Than’s son so he can set off the Apocalypse. All is not as it seems, and Regan and Than soon figure out there are others helping Pest, aka Reseph go after the couple and their unborn son. Of course, Than is royally pissed off at Regan for drugging him to have sex, to conceive a child who could save the world. His anger goes away as he realizes Regan was also drugged and lied to about the outcome to set things in motion. I fell for Than as I watched him go from angry father-to-be to man in love with the mother of his child. Since both Regan and Than have major trust issues, there was no smooth sailing in their courtship, but it was fun to watch the big bad horseman fall in love.

Larissa Ione throws so many emotions at her readers. I was laughing, crying or cursing at any given time while reading Lethal Rider. The official release date for Lethal Rider was May 22, 2012 and can be found at your favorite bookstore or online retailer.

Shiloh Walker UF Giveaway

I'm super excited to post about a chance for everyone to enter for a chance to win a copy of Shiloh's latest project. 

Check out Shiloh's latest project...Blade Song. Enter to win a galley to review...and she's giving away 50!

You can enter via her blog (www.shilohwalker.com). You can tweet about it. And if you post about it to your blog, you get a couple of extra entries...

Kit Colbana—half breed, assassin, thief, jack of all trades—has a new job: track down the missing ward of one of the local alpha shapeshifters. It should be a piece of cake.

So why is she so nervous? It probably has something to do with the insanity that happens when you deal with shifters—especially sexy ones who come bearing promises of easy jobs and easier money.

Or maybe it’s all the other missing kids that Kit discovers while working the case, or the way her gut keeps screaming she’s gotten in over her head. Or maybe it’s because if she fails—she’s dead.

If she can stay just one step ahead, she should be okay. Maybe she’ll even live long to collect her fee…
