Run the Risk by Lori Foster
I received a copy of Run the Risk in exchange for an honest review. I have been reading Lori Foster’s romance suspense novels featuring hunks of male man meat for a while now, and they are just …. tantalizing. The covers, the men in between the pages, these spicy novels are just irresistible! Detective Logan Riske goes undercover to find Rowdy Yates, a link to finding out who killed his best friend. He tracks down Rowdy’s sister, Pepper, but doesn’t think he will fall for the woman who is also undercover as Sue Meeks. What Logan doesn’t realize is that Pepper might be the missing link after all…
I though Run the Risk was a very engaging book, in more ways that just Logan being one studly man. I liked the suspense in regards to Logan’s partner and the lieutenant, and whether they were trustworthy or part of the corrupt cop group. There were a lot of plot twists that kept me interesting, and the sex scenes between Logan and Pepper were pretty intense. If you like spicy romances with lots of suspense and even some murder thrown in, check out Lori Foster and Run the Risk!

GIVEAWAY: Run the Risk by Lori Foster
When Detective Logan Riske goes undercover to find Pepper Yates, a potential link to his best friend’s unsolved murder, he vows to gain her cooperation by any means necessary. But the elusive beauty is more suspicious—and in far more danger—than he expected. And the last thing Logan needs is to start caring for her….
Pepper has spent years dodging the corrupt club owner who will stop at nothing to keep her silenced. She can trust no one, not even the handsome new “construction worker” who’s moved in next door. The heat between them is undeniable. But will surrendering to passion bring her the safety she so desires—or will her feelings for Logan draw them both into a killer’s crosshairs?
A Perfect Storm by Lori Foster
A Perfect Storm is the next title in Lori Foster’s Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series, and I was excited to read it. I was sucked into the series from the first book, When You Dare, and though book # 2- Trace of Fever – didn’t leave my raving, Savor the Danger reeled me back in to the series. During Savor the Danger we meet Spencer Lark and Arizona Storm, and these are the characters that are focused on throughout A Perfect Storm. Arizona is a twenty-one year old who was put through hell courtesy of her own father when he put her up for human slavery and sex trafficking. Jackson (Savor the Danger) saves Arizona from her captures and becomes like a brother to her, but Arizona is all about remaining independent – and intent on making sure any other human traffickers are brought to justice. Spencer has his hands full trying to keep Arizona safe, and now realizes he is starting to develop feelings for her on top of it. But with the recent death of his wife, should he be looking at another female? And Arizona is so untamed, so determined to live life her own way, that it would be near impossible for them to make it as a couple. But before they can sort out their relationship, another bad guy must be brought to justice.
I liked A Perfect Storm, not quite as much as books 1 and 3, but more than Trace’s. Arizona was a bit of a hot mess from time to time, but from her past I don’t think anyone could really blame her. I thought the plot was interesting with the bar that they were trying to expose – the bad guy in the end really surprised me and I thought it was a fabulous twist. It was great to catch up with the characters from the past books as well, and I read this fairly quickly. My only gripes are that it just seemed to be a lot of the same stuff – a petite girl with a huge rack, muscular dude that is so well-endowed the girl is a little afraid to be with him. Girl with a lot of trust issues that needs to be talked through the intimate moments. I would like to see maybe a little different scenario, but I understand the series is about guys who are professional mercenaries, so I can’t expect them to be a whole lot different. With that fact shoved aside, I really did enjoy this book and would definitely recommend this series from Lori Foster!

Title: Ros
Author: Dee DeTarsio
Received: From Dee DeTarsio
Synopsis: To Marian Keyes – and to the Marian Keyes in every woman – that smart, funny, sad, put-upon, brave part of your soul that makes this world a brighter place. Dee DeTarsio’s literary talents shine with tenderness and humor as she once again takes readers into the heart of women’s lives in an unforgettable tale. Filled with friendship, love, loss, betrayal and out-of-this-world challenges that force her characters to find their place in the universe, Ros gives us the hopefully-ever-after we’re all searching for. When a plane crashed behind Micki Cramer’s house, in San Diego, California, she kept waiting for the sirens and rescue team to show up. As the first responder, it was up to her to tug on the arm that was waving out of the broken wreckage. Holding her breath against the choking smoke, she managed to get the pilot out and carry him to safety into her backyard. He wasn’t that heavy; he was about the size of her 10-year-old nephew, who did play a lot of video games and ate nothing but Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, but still. As it turns out, he wasn’t a guy after all. Ros, the pilot, was on a mission to find her missing brother who had crash-landed at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. Seems she was a bad driver, too, missing her target by nearly a thousand miles and more than half a century. If Ros can teach Micki how to use eleven percent of her brain, how can Micki help Ros?
Title: A Perfect Storm
Author: Lori Foster
Received: From Kate @ Media Muscle
Synopsis: Two strangers risk their lives for retribution in New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Lori Foster’s intense, edgy and scorching A PERFECT STORM. Spencer Lark and Arizona Storm are thrown together as partners in revenge for the fourth and final book of the Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series. Following in the footsteps of WHEN YOU DARE, TRACE OF FEVER and SAVOR THE DANGER, A PERFECT STORM features the smoldering mercenaries who will do anything to protect the innocent–especially when those innocent are the women they love.
Spencer Lark already knows too many secrets about Arizona Storm, including her kidnapping by human traffickers, her harrowing escape and the painful memories she carries from her past. In order to expose a despicable ring of human traffickers—and continue his mission of revenge for his wife’s death—the bounty hunter reluctantly agrees to partner with Arizona on her latest operation. He quickly realizes no amount of training has equipped him to handle her hypnotic blend of fragility and bravery, or for the protective instincts she stirs in him.
Arizona has made it her mission to use herself as bait in an attempt to bring down trafficking rings. It’s a dangerous game for an amateur, even more so with a professional partner as distracting and appealing as Spencer. But as their plan—and their chemistry—shift into high gear, Arizona discovers there’s an even greater risk in surrendering her heart to a hero….
Title: Daughters-in-Law
Author: Joanna Trollope
Received: From Transworld Books – Unsolicited
Synopsis: As Anthony and Rachel Brinkley welcome their third daughter-in-law to the family, they don’t quite realize the profound shift that is about to take place. For different reasons, the Brinkleys’ two previous daughters-in-law hadn’t been able to resist Rachel’s maternal control and Anthony’s gentle charm and had settled into their husbands’ family without rocking the boat. But Charlotte—very young, very beautiful, and spoiled—has no intention of falling into step with the Brinkleys and wants to establish her own household. Soon Rachel’s sons begin to think of their own houses as home and of their mother’s house as simply the place where their parents live—a necessary and inevitable shift of loyalties that threatens Rachel’s sense of herself, breaks Anthony’s heart, and causes unexpected consequences in all the marriages. Then a crisis brings these changes to the surface, and everyone has to learn what family love means all over again.

Savor the Danger by Lori Foster
The drooling continues on with Savor the Danger, the next in line from Lori Foster and her hunky mercenaries. This story focuses on Jackson and Alani, Trace’s younger sister. The two wake up in bed together after a night of passion, but Jackson can’t remember a thing. He knows he’s been drugged, but he doesn’t know by who or why. Alani is devastated that Jackson doesn’t remember being with her, or the words he said to her in the middle of the passion. Jackson and Alani tiptoe around their true feelings, afraid of what the other is truly thinking. I really loved Savor the Danger, and I was a bit worried after Trace of Fever fell flat for me. I loved that the action started right away, and not just the sexual stuff. Since the story opens with Jackson waking up not remembering anything, I was immediately intrigued by what was going on and who was after him. I was gripped throughout the story, and loved learning about Dare, Trace, and their wives. This is such a fun and intense series and I definitely recommend. Will be looking forward to the next book!
