The Billionaire's Bet by Victoria Davies

I completely loved this story! Caleb is so unbelievably sexy, but is he a good guy or a bad guy? Is he helping Hailey or just using her? Is there more to his bet than even he realizes? Admittedly, I was rooting for Caleb from the start. I liked both guys, but Caleb was the underdog and I loved the way he talked to Hailey. He slowly realizes how much he truly wants her, but will his need for revenge ruin it all before he can tell her the truth?

These were really great characters. I so need my hubby to morph into sexy Caleb every now and then.

Lethal Game by Katie Reus

I've read every book in this series, and I hate to hear this is the end. Isa and Grayson have a history, and it's not pleasant. Isa has no plans to ever even see Grayson again, much less have to work with him on a daily basis. Unfortunately for her, Grayson has maneuvered them into just that position. He is determined to get her back and apologize for the hurt he caused. Isa just wants to keep things business related. Both of them have to cast their desires aside though when terrorists take over the building they are in. In the meantime familiar characters Emerson and Carlito also end up pulled into the danger and pulled closer to each other. Honestly, I was even happier about them getting together than Isa and Grayson. They were so sweet and perfect for each other. I love that I got two great couples for the price of one.

Under Pressure by Lori Foster

Catalina has a secret...a big one. Feeling betrayed by her family and knowing her life is in danger, she goes on the run. The last thing she needs is a bodyguard hired by her family. No way is she going to trust him. Leese has a job to do, and Catalina is making it difficult. He wants to protect her, but all she wants is to ditch him. She definitely doesn't want to share how big and dangerous her secret really is. Leese isn't about to give up. Catalina will be under his watch whether she wants it or not. He is going to keep her safe even if he had to protect her from the very man who hired him.

I've got to say that I love Leese. He is one of my favorite characters from this author's Ultimate series. Catalina was completely perfect for him. It looks like this series is going to rank right up there with Ultimate for me. I can't wait to read more!

Twisted Desire by Sharon Kay

This was a quick easy read suitable for fans of Titan or Watcher's Kiss or for anyone new to both series. I have read everything Titan, but was completely unfamiliar with this author. While I definitely feel this was more Watcher's Kiss than Titan, I enjoyed Locke as the primary love interest. There was plenty of suspense and a very sweet, if somewhat rushed, romance.

Jordan Reclaimed by Scarlett Cole

I love Scarlett Cole, and I am going to love this series! Jordan has held my heart since we first met him and learned his background in the Second Circle Tatoos series. He was so sad and so certain he always would be. I couldn't even imagine what type of woman it would take to complete Jordan, but a ballerina would have never entered my mind. Fortunately, Lexi did enter the mind of Scarlett Cole. She was everything Jordan needed, and conversely, she needed him just as much. They had a spectacular, if often emotionally turbulent, connection. I loved everything about this story especially the preview at the end letting us know that Elliott is next.l

I am beyond thrilled to have been given an ARC of this book by Net Galley.

Wyatt the Heartbreaker by Blue Saffire

This was my first book by Blue Saffire.  I didn't love the cover, and the author's pseudonym had me worried this might be flat out erotica with little substance, but the description convinced me to give it a try. I'm glad. I really liked the Black brothers. They had a great family dynamic with an enviable closeness. Wyatt was the brother with the reputation of being a bit of a player, a heartbreaker. He hated the reputation. Though he certainly didn't have long term relationships and had no problems with no strings  attached sex, he was always careful to make sure expectations were clear up front in order not to hurt anyone. When Nellie shows up on Wyatt's radar, he is overwhelmed. Suddenly his thoughts are on things more permanent, but Nellie is aware of his reputation and unwilling to be another notch on his bedpost. He has no idea how to convince her he is serious about her.

Nellie had had a crush on Wyatt since they were young, but right now she has more on her plate than she can handle and danger stalking her footsteps. She doesn't want everyone going into overprotective mode, so she's keeping it to herself. She knows Wyatt suspects, but thinks she has it handled. When Wyatt does figure it all out, he becomes a rock of strength for her and an all out protector.

I really liked the characters in this story and definitely need to read more about the rest of these brothers.

No Living Soul by Julie Moffett

This series completely cracks me up. I seriously love it! Lexi is one of my favorite series heroines, primarily because she isn't a typical heroine. She often doesn't understand the nuances of relationships, but she is always loyal. She would do anything for her friends, including getting back on a plane after her last experience was a horrific crash. Elvis needs her help, and she's not going to let him down. Lexi, Slash, Elvis, and Elvis's new researcher, Gwen, take off for Egypt to locate Elvis's absentee father. As always with this series, the story was a mix of serious moments, suspense, unexpected Lexi moments, and the sweet romance between Lexi and Slash. I enjoyed every second of it. The best part of the story for me was the budding relationship between Elvis and Gwen. Is it friendship; is it more? Personally, I've loved Lexi and Slash together but always kind of felt bad that Elvis never seemed happy, like no one could measure up to Lexi for him. Gwen gives more hope for a happy Elvis. I can't wait to see what happens!

I was thrilled to get an ARC from Net Galley for review!
