Do or Die by Suzanne Brockmann

Do or Die is the first book of Reluctent Heros by Suzanne Brockmann. I just finished listening to the audiobook that I acquired through my local library. And I would give this book a 4 out 5 stars. It was action packed, romance, and overall had a good storyline. My only surprise to the book was Shelb turned out to be a guy. And let me say I just thought of girl with that name but no big deal. 

Ian Dunn is busted from his prison sentence before his time is served by the FBI. The FBI wants Ian to help them find two kidnapped children and return them to their mother. But the only problem is Ian doesn't want out early. But before he knows it he has a new attorney, Phoebe, and he's out of prison now. He must protect his brother and his family because he's being chased by the people who put him in prison. Except Phoebe finds herself mixed up with Ian and now Ian must make the things right before someone gets hurt. 

Close to Home by Lisa Jackson

I recently received an advanced copy of the book Cloe to Home by Lisa Jackson through All You book reviewers. And I must say I was very disappointed with this book. It left me so confused. I couldn't keep up with the characters and honestly, I had a hard time staying awake. I would only give this book a 3 out of 5 stars at best. Throughout the story I kept thinking Clint and Sarah would have a heated romance, but that didn't happen. And the story plot would change from character to the next without a lot of warning. So in my opinion I wouldn't rush to read this book. It's just to hard to stay with the story.

Never Been Kissed book Review

Never Been Kissed by Molly O'Keefe expected publication July 1, 2014
Disclosure:
I've been selected to review Never Been Kissed by netgalley.com and the publisher Random House Publishing-Bantam for my honest reader review. 

Ashley Montgomery finds herself kidnapped by Somelai pirates. As the daughter of a wealthy, well-known politician, Ashley is being held for ransom. Brody Baxter, the ex-bodyguard to the family over ten years ago finds himself happy to get Ashley and return her to safety. Brody finds Ashley beaten and bruised and unconscious when he rescues her. The only thing Brody wants is to get Ashley out of there and back home ASAP. 
But upon returning home Ashley finds she can't take her mother and wants to leave and get out of the public eye. Brody finds himself sticking around longer as he takes Ashley to his home town of Bishop, Arkansas.
Ashley finds that Brody also needs healing. And that attraction she felt over ten years ago for him has never left. 

I really enjoyed this book. It's the second book novel in O'Keefe's boys of Bishop. I would give this book a 3 1/2 stars out of 5. There were hot, sensual parts in this book where I found I couldn't put the book down. Once you check out this book be sure to check out the third book of the series Between the Sheets.

Review: The Wedding Hazard by Regina Duke

Disclosure: I was recently able to review Regina Dukes romance novel The Wedding Hazard through netgalley.com for free for a honest review. 

Ashely finds herself knocking on her estranged mother of fifteen years to inform her of her fathers recent death. But when ashley finds a red spot in the kitchen and a note for mother she finds herself looking for help. Ashley finds herself walking into Thor Security and seeing the most gorgeous man she has ever seen. 
Thor Garrison finds himself looking at the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. It takes his breath away. And before Thor knows it he is acting as a bodyguard to Ashley. And meanwhile authors mother Polly is trying to get him to get married and give him grand babies, while a crazy ex-girlfriend has her sights set on Thor. 
Ashley has no way to pay Thor so she offers an olive branch to help Thor out of his tricky situation with his mother and her persistence on getting married. Ashley texts Thors mother informing her he has a fiancĂ© so Britney Beth can leave him alone. But before Thor and Ashley know it they are dealing with a crazy ex, a mother, some crazy person following Ashley, and the disappearance of her mother. 

I would rate this book a 3 out 5. Overall it was a good read. But parts were a little dry. I guess I expected there to be more of a connection between Ashley and Thor. But if your looking for a steamy romance this isn't it.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips never leaves me disappointed. This is the fifth book of hers that I have read. Nobody's Baby But Mine is a really good romance novel that you won't be disappointed in.

So when her neighbor presents her with the opportunity to hook up with the famous Cal Bonner-quarterback she finds herself doing something she never thought she would do. Jane finds herself dressed like a high classy prostiitue with a bow around her neck being Cals birthday present from his friends.       
Cals friends want him to loosen up. So they hope Jane will do the trick, but the only thing Jane wants is a baby. And Jane doesn't want someone smart as the dad because all her life she was a freak. And Jane assumes Cal Bonner is that man.
