Broken Bridges

This was an explosive story. Not only the hot sex but the men, struggling to find each other amid the madness of deaths around them. They weren't good together except in the sack. Dax, the wolf, is overprotective with a pack mentality while Adin, the bear, is a loner who doesn't like to be dominated anywhere else but in bed. I liked both men. Knowing they couldn't help their masculine saber rattling, I found they were in fact so much alike that it explained why things didn't work out between them. Naturally, it's only a matter of time before Adin ends up in the killer's crosshairs.

The murder mystery is a compelling one. Ms. Meadows seems to have a firm grasp of police procedures and forensic science, and these things made the story realistic. I admit I wasn't a hundred percent sold on the killer's motives but it was in intriguing plotline, and I would have wished for some sort of emotional closure for the culprit in the end. Maybe that was just the good in me talking. Still, the plot moves swiftly, and there's a balanced mix of investigation, dialogue, action, and sex.

The writing is solid and convincing with its fast pace and expertise of chemistry, and I found this world of shifters blending unseen into the modern society quite compelling. I wonder if there will be more stories like this. I sure hope so. Recommended.

Blue Blood's Trifecta

I haven't read any of the other Wind Warrior books before this. My enjoyment of this title made me go look for the backlist to this story line. The setting of the series with the secret government agency, freelance mercenaries, assassins, drug cartels, and the FBI involvement had a very action movie quality that I loved. Tempest was a surprisingly strong female character and still be able to stay sweet. The first kiss between Rogue and Ryan was freaking H.O.T. One of the best kiss scenes I've read in a long time. Ryan's discovery of his attraction for Rogue does shake the man up and he avoids Rogue. Unfortunately, his struggle with his identity and how he deals with this new side of himself takes place off page. But I was happy that Ryan didn't jump into sex with both feet so the love scenes between the two men are tame.

Overall, I really enjoyed this fast and fun story. I will be going back to the beginning to catch up. Oh, and, the assassin, Ghost, I want his story which I hope is next. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys action packed romance, strong female pilots, secret organization, and hot guys who love to compete against each other.

Tails: Werewolf

Timber is happy being alone. She agrees to go on a blind date a friend sets up on New Year's Eve but it doesn't go well when the werewolf announces she is his mate. The next day he keeps sending her deliveries until she caves in and meets him for dinner. He finds out his Nemesis has found her and is going to use her to get to him so he has her come live with him. She goes just to be sure her cats are protected.

I loved this book. I liked that the characters were not the average run of the mill super-hot perfect stud (though Rock is pretty hot he still doesn't tell her right up that he is in love with her just because they are mates. I liked that.) I liked that Timber was strong and strong willed and didn't cave just because she was scared. The love scene, when we finally got it was hot and sensuous without being nasty. Loved that too. All the characters were interesting and the story moved along fast paced and interestingly.

Recommendations:
If you like werewolves, hot leading men, strong independent leading woman, hot but sensuous sex scenes and cats, this story is for you!

Tiger's Lily

A woman who can't turn her back on anyone who is hurt and a man who doesn't trust easily find out that love can break through any barrier.
Tiger's Lily
brings Lily with her gentle heart and ways together with Cale, a man who trusts very rarely and almost never a woman. I loved watching, as Lily seemed to just bedazzle Cale without even trying. I know that Cale never saw her coming until it was too late. I laughed a few times when younger brother Dillon put in his two cents. Right up until the end I wondered if Cale would be able to accept the love that Lily offered, but I should know that you just shouldn't bet against fate. I also loved the sneak peek at the rest of the
Wind Warriors
and wonder just who will be the next to find their love.
Tiger's Lily
is a softhearted look at a love and the journey back to family with a ribbon of danger to keep you wondering.

As Fate Would Have It

The unbelievable chemistry of these two characters, is what makes As Fate Would Have It, the sweltering and fantastic read that it is. Rye is a detective that once worked as an actor. He's not just any actor though, he's a retired porn star, with a whole heck of a lot more experience then the virgin that is Brie. Rye will rock your socks off with his sexy sweet talking and his domineering ways. He's got a hidden sensitive side as well, creating a character that will leave you dying for more with every page you read. Brie is a good girl nurse, with nothing but an uppity spirit flowing through her. She also happens to be most hilarious heroine I have read about in a while. She's determined and strong-willed, never wanting to give up on anything in life. I admire her willingness to take risks in order to help people she knows nothing about. She's a grade A character who will make you want to be a better person yourself.

I read
As Fate Would Have It
