Russians and and Bikers...OH MY!!!

So here is yet another author I had never heard of but have completely fallen in love with her world!

Nancy Haviland's Wanted Men series is something you want to jump in and just be a part of.  The Salvation of Vengeance is Vincente and Nika's story.  Number two in the series, but dont let that deter you.  I was able to pick this book up, and since Ms. Haviland is so good at weaving a story, barely knew it was a series...but I hoped!

Ok so Salvation hooks you right from the start.  Our heroine Nika is in a horrid marriage with a seriously abusive all around jerk.  Well why does she stay, you ask yourself...good question-the answer is the damming video evidence hubby has on her beloved brother.  Her only living family.  He also happens to be the VP of an MC.  (hoping to see some stories on this group of hotties too.)  Nika will do everything to protect those she loves and she proves this time and time again in this book.  Nika is mearly biding her time until she can get her hands on that video.  

Her moment comes when her best friend asks her to be in her wedding.  The daughter of a Russian mob boss marrying the Italian mob boss, Gabriel.  Things are bound to be steamy right!?  Gabriels right hand man Vicente, successful, handsome, haunted and deadly has taken an interest in Nika but his past and her being married prevents him from pursuing any kind of normal future ever.  

When Nika finally gets  the evidence its only a matter of time before a violent and extremely pissed off husband comes looking for her.  Now Vin is going to have to come face to face with his past and move forward if he wants a future with the woman who heats his blood like no other.  

I could divulge this whole story but I wont-because seriously- you have GOT to pick up this book! 

Ms. Haviland's work hooks you right from the start.  I seriously could not put ths book down.  I read it all night and then on my lunch break just to finish.  There was not a dull moment.  Beyond the action was the back story. You really felt like you knew these characters. Like you could walk through the door and be welcomed into the family.  Yeah they are violent at times, yeah your moral compass goes a little wonky at the lifesyle, but oh man the love, and loyalty totally overlooks all that.  

Vin took a long time making a decision but he stole my heart at every turn.  The supporting cast had me so hooked I stopped reading to go check her website to make sure all my other faves were going to get a story.  By God they are, and I cannot wait! 

Anything I didnt like?  Well aside from the abusive situations, that were pretty horrific but completely needed for the story, no.  

I am hooked on this family!  Very well written and I am a fan for life!

The Club !!

This is the first in a series by Jenna Elliot and boy does it start out HOT!  Meet Ethan-uber sexually confident totally hot tattooed male. He knows what women want and is happy to give it to them but they better not get attached because that is a hard limit for him.  He will walk away faster than you can beg him to flog you.  Ethan has demons that haunt him from his past that he won't let go. 

Hellloooooo tortured hero, hot man with tats and a Dom ...😍

Onto our heroine Mia.  Mia is desperate to escape the suffocating life her unloving parents have created for her.  They have chosen the perfect career, the perfect fiancé and control all the finances. When she has a minor accident who comes swooping in but not so perfect Ethan. Mia is something different for Ethan and that scares him. I was rooting for our girl to conquer this bad assed Dom the entire book.  There is one point in the book my heart just ached for Mia and I was so pissed at Ethan but isn't that what makes a story so great?!  Some BDSM is part of this book but pretty light I mean we are talking about a BDSM club when the title says "The Club".  

I am telling you this story just took off. Totally hot characters that are really well developed I just got sucked in and could not put this book down.  My only complaint was it ended too abruptly.  I wanted a little more closure with a few issues but maybe they will come in books two and three.  BTW we meet the characters of the sequels and let me say Ace is calling my name! I can't wait to read more.  

HOORAY FOR CAMO!!!

Well....so I have to say, in light of all the Usama being killed hoopla, it has made the men of the Special Forces look all that more appealing! Dont get me wrong I have always had a soft spot in my heart for these rugged, no named, anonymous heroes. Now, however the realness of them really sets in. Now they seem even MORE sexy, if that was even possible, and I want to devour any book with SF in it. So I went on a super secret mission in my bookshelf to find what I have already read and what some of my fave Elite Op teams are. Hope you like them. Let me know if there are some out there that are awesome and that I need to read! I know there are!

Ahhhhhhhh.....some of my first. The men of Lora Leigh's SEAL's team. These are men that know what they want and arent afraid of doing anything to get it. Strong, rugged, dangerous and completely Alpha. What could anygirl want more of??? I will admit Dangerous Games was the first of this series that I read but man....was I hooked. Clint McIntyre was the hottest thing this side of the sun as far as I was concerned. I needed more of this amazing author and team and wasnt dissapointed with any of the original SEAL teams books.

Another fave of mine....The fabulous Nina Bruhns. After the first book of this series came out I swear I stalked her for weeks to get the second book out and finally push the third out. Waiting was like pure and utter torture. Secrets abound in this series and if the first one was good...the second was better and the third....flames baby...flames. Terrorism, guns, covert ops, a fabulous plot, steaming sex...what else is there to want. Seriously Nina is a master!

Ok....so Lauren Dane. This woman is unbelievable. She is a master of suspense, romance, and plot. While the Federation Series and the Phantom Corps series are futuristic they are by far some of the best writing I have ever read. Every single one of these books are fantastic. I seriously couldnt put them down and had to read them in one sitting. Thats bad because I have to work every day during the week. Im currently in a 12 step program to recover from my addiction to these books...and low and behold another one comes out.

So that brings me to the question....'What is it that makes these men so attractive?'

Lets see.....

Face paint: what better way to start your romp in the sheets or the woods whatever trail you may be on than with a little makeup. I totally get this part. I would so kiss that man!

Camo: what is sexier than camo on a man? I dunno....nothing?

Guns: ya know, Im that kinda girl. While I like to have my "princess" moments as my DH calls them, I'm still the same girl that can shoot her own gun and has uttmost respect for those men packin around those beasts. They arent light after 8 days ruckin them around.

Secrecy: I mean, these men dont tell nobody nothin....seriously. The SEAL's that took down Usama will never be known, they will be the quiet heroes that go home to their lives and nobody will be the wiser that they killed one of the most heinous men ever. That takes something special. I have to totally respect that.

Languages: These guys speak numerous...can you say F*&^ Me in 14 different languages...mhm they can.

Night Vision Goggles: ohhhhh the things I could do with those......

As if all that werent enough....here is a little picture to add to my amazement.

Yeah...thats freaking way cool.

The men and women of the United States Armed Forces have my uttmost and humble respect. There is no way I could do what they do. If I see them out, I tell them that. Thank you! Thank you for protecting my freedoms that I take for granted every day. Thank you for putting your life on the line so that mine can be safer. Those that have made the ultimate sacrifice I pray watch over their brothers and sisters in combat.

To the Elite of the Elite...thank you for your quite grace under pressure. Job well done!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!

So here we go into the absolutely crazy times known as the holidays. The time when I just want to crawl up into my heated warm bed and snuggle because its so damn stressful!

Why you say....well let me explain.

My husband and I both come from divorced families. This made Christmas WONDERFUL when I was a kid let me tell ya. Going to two sets of parents houses for christmas not to mention the grandparents too.

Now as an adult with a child...I get totally stressed. The schedule for December goes wild about mid November.

We have my husbands mothers step children (dont get confused yet)...their mother died when they were young and his mother was their mothers best friend. She married their father (a little eeeww factor there) and helped raise the girls along with another one of their mothers best friends. So the first "christmas" we have is with this woman and her husband....im really not sure why we partake in this but its for my little boys sake apparently. Who am I to say no right?

Next stop:
Work christmas parties. Now this year is especially busy because I accepted a new position. They were gracious enough to invite me to the lunch that they have so there is Two

Then there is the current division I work for...Three

Then there is the overall division that is responsible for the department....Four

There is the entity that employs us all....Five.

Next up is One of the surgeons I work for has a Candy Cane Making party that he throws for all of his friends and kids. This is a total blast and I wouldnt miss it for the world. Six

Ok...onto Christmas Eve:
This used to be held at various houses around the city but after having my son ...I decided it wasnt very Christmas-y to be running house to house for christmas eve and not even getting to visit with family. Basically you ate....then opened presents...hugs and kisses...out the door. Next house ....ate....opened presents....hugs and kisses...out the door. We celebrated like this for a few years. Then it just got to be too much.

So now my mother, and husbands father come to our house and celebrate xmas eve. Much better situation. Just feels more like christmas...visiting and celebrating with family.

Christmas day we go to husbands moms house and some very close family friends.

Usually the day after Christmas we go to my fathers house.

Then the weekend after or before christmas we got to my grandparents house.

Oy...the work.

I swear after its all over we have a house full of insanity...and I need a 12 step program for detox! Not to mention weight watchers program for the next 4 months.

Alas....someday we will not be so fortunate to have our wonderful families so I will take time to tell them this year how important they are!

So to all you and yours from my family to you....

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

OH OH OH OH! Here we go!

OK OK OK...so again...forever since I blogged but hey I was a busy girl!

Went to my first Romanticon..whoooweee let me tell you the Cavemen are all they are cracked up to be and then some. I even got to wear the Boots of one of them and well...I may or may not have licked a nipple or two. Ill never tell.

Anyway...here we go.




Cherise Sinclair is a total GODDESS! Im sure I have said this before but I will continue to say it again and again and again. The woman has uber talent and seriously I want to stalk her. Im sure I scare her somedays.

Her latest novel The Starlight Rite delves into the world of Sci-Fi. DO NOT LET THIS DETER YOU! I hesitated for like all of 5 min. before reading this book and wanted to kick myself for doing so because OMG it was utterly fabulosity! The emotions that Sinclair writes just literally drag you into the novel and make you FEEL what the characters are feeling. Wonderful book. I dont know what else to say...except go by it RIGHT NOW!



Next up...Frances Stockton.
Ok where have I been because this woman writes a sex scene that sets pages on fire! Not to mention a great suspense.





Quarterback Blitz is a fantastic tale of a Cougar getting her man. And what a man he is. WOWOWOWOWO. The way he talks is so steamy its like being in a hot shower for hours. He is completely dominant but can also be a total sweetheart for the woman he is so in love with. Now to just convince her this is more than a one night stand. He also has to figure out who is behind the sabatoge of his newfound relationship and it will shock you when he finally does.

Great read! So glad I picked this one up. Im not a huge football fan but fell in love with the QB!



sooooooo till next time y'all...there are a couple good reads.

OH BTW...im off to snag Cherise Sinclairs new one....MASTER OF THE ABYSS....dont miss this one! The men from the mountain are back and better than ever! Cant wait!
