SEDUCED BY SIN: AN UNLIKELY HERO by Kris Rafferty .....4 clocks

When Caleb Smith saved Francesca Hamilton from a nasty situation with her father, she was beyond grateful. Sure, it landed her in Caleb's bed wearing his engagement ring, but neither of them took that seriously. It was a means to an end, and he was so sexy and exciting, she was enjoying the ride. It wasn’t Caleb's fault her feelings were changing, leaving her wishing things between them were real rather than pretend.

Caleb took the FBI’s assignment because he wanted to end the tyranny of a man who’d hurt the people he loved. Odds of success were slim and the danger high, but he knew the risks. Francesca didn't and was completely in the dark about her family’s "business." And the more time he spends with her, the harder he falls for the gorgeous blonde. But to finally get retribution, he'll have to destroy her world...

My Review

What's not to love when you have;

an arranged marriage

an unwilling bride to be

a smoking hot undercover FBI agent?

This is the set up for quite a fast ride. Caleb is attracted to Francesca from the jump  but he was on the job, so was it worth it to take the risk? It is when you wake up with wedding rings on ! 

Francesca, is very smart being a psychologist working with inner city kids. Book smarts do not equal street smarts. She has no idea what her dying father has been up to for years and just wants a shot at his love. No chance, he barely even notices her but he wants to pick her husband, enter Caleb. 

This relationship has an expiration date. The only problem is, the chemistry between Caleb and Francesca is explosive and can not be ignored. 

Twists and turn lead to a fast paced story and older players come into the fold and make this a really good story. 

Caleb, knows as soon as she finds out who he is and what he as done, she will be destroyed.  Will his love for Francesca be enough for her to understand why he did this?

Recklessly Ever After by Heather Ban Fleet.... 4 clocks

Gavin St. James

After the hell I've been through in the Marines—in life—there's nothing I crave more than routine, stability, peace. Until McKenna Brewer walks into my life.

She's impulsive, fiery, tempting as hell, and everything I don't need. But when she offers me a night of no-strings-attached passion, I can't resist.

When our night together has unexpected consequences, I can't help but think this might be the perfect opportunity to show McKenna just how much I want her.

The only problem? She doesn't do forevers. But forever is exactly what I need with her.

My Review

I really enjoyed this story. I may have enjoyed it more if I was in the mood for the ups and downs these two had in store for me, and it is A LOT. 
Gavin, was endearing to me, His panic attacks made my heart hurt for him. Let's not forget that his past is unstable at best. He is a very private man and keeps his circle tight and settling down is just not something he has ever seen for himself.  
McKenna, is living her tragic troubled life with no connections, other than her sister, she is living day to day and wants to keep it that way. NO commitment . But when she and Gavin have their moment... well for him it is on and for McKenna, it is going to take some work. 
If you are a fan of push back books, you will love this. The push and pull between these 2 is enough that you are vested but not so much that it is tiresome.

Reveal by K. Bromberg.......4.5 Clocks

I play to win, and I won’t let anything—or anyone—get in the way of what I want.

The first time I met Vaughn Sanders, I knew I wanted her. Confident, intelligent, and downright sexy. I thought I knew how to play her game. I was ready and willing for the challenge. Little did I know she was full of secrets and surprises.

But so am I.

Charming a woman into my bed has never been my problem. It’s the relationship part that is. They want it. I don’t. But can you blame me? Broken marriages are how I make a living. Hell, no self-respecting man would let a woman own his thoughts, invade his dreams, and steal his heart. So how in the world has Vaughn done that to me?

I’ve fallen in love with her. There. I said it. But that acknowledgment comes with a heavy price.

Everything and everyone seem to be working against us, leaving us both to question whether what we have is worth the cost.

I’ll be damned if I go down without a fight.

My Review

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, READ THIS DUET! Read Resist first and fear not, the cliffy is picked right up where we last saw Ryker and Vaughn. 
I am not going to lie, Vaughn can be a little tiresome with her stubborn streak, but this has served her well in the past. A misunderstand sent her fleeing from Ryker and her constant stubbornness and refusal of Ryker's help, went on a bit much for me, but it added to the angst in the story. Let's not forget that Ryker was a bit of a jerk, but his redemption is quick IMO. 
We have flawed characters that soon became real to me and I was vested in each of their lives. Ryker, is a MAJOR ALFA and wants to help Vaughn  and she is close to her breaking point. 
This is the perfect wrap up in a fantastic duet. Fall in love with Ryker and Vaughn, the drama, steaminess and love story that grows is so worth it.
