Title: Hot Blooded

Author: Jessica Lake

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: January 30, 2016

Two natural enemies. One impossible love...

Detective Lily Morgan's never been one to let things lie. When a key witness in one of her cases is killed, Lily's determined to go as deep as necessary to find the truth - even if she has to go undercover into London's illegal underground fighting scene. Ever since she gave up a comfortable life in academia to become a detective, Lily's been all about the job - no regrets, no mercy. But solving this case needs something murkier, something far more personal... something like the shadowy spark flickering into life between her and bare-knuckle fighter Callum. And Lily's beginning to realize just how badly she might need it, too...

Callum Cross depends on nobody, at any cost. When you live your whole life in the naked lights of underground boxing rings, you learn to take work and pleasure where you can find them, not to look too closely at the shadows in the corners... and you also learn not to spend too much time near firebrands like Lily Morgan, especially when the darkness hides your own dark secrets. But Lily's also the only hint of a better world that Callum's seen in as long as he can remember. And when you swim deep enough, any glimmer at all starts to look like the way back up...

Caught between sudden desire, lethal enemies, and their own conflicting agendas, Lily and Callum might be each others' last, best hope at finally finding the missing pieces of their hearts... or just enough weight to finally drown together. And with the jaws of the case slowly closing around them, there's no telling who will be caught in its teeth...

Review of London With a Dare by Jennifer Conner and Angela Ford

Chapple Palmer is the captain of one of the top soccer teams in the world, the London Lions. He should get more respect, but due to bad press he has a bad boy reputation in the British tabloids that he can’t seem to shake. In fact, he's even beginning to believe the things they say about him. Chapple knows his playing days are numbered and the last thing he needs is to be stuck babysitting an American billionaire, Ian Dare and his wife, who are there to promote Dare's American football team's exhibition game in London.

Elisha Shepard is fairly new at being the Dare's scheduling assistant. She knows how important it is to stay professional and detail oriented at every moment. So why is Elisha letting herself be distracted by Chapple Palmer who she can guess is nothing but trouble, not to mention a heart-breaker? Why is she finding it so easy to say yes to his every invitation when her brain is screaming no?

After a disastrous sexual encounter with Elisha, Chapple realizes that he's proved the truth in all the tabloid rumors. Why would Elisha even talk to him? How can he make it up to her? Chapple feels a connection with Elisha he hasn’t felt with a woman in a long time. If she’ll give him another chance, he'll prove to her that he's the lover she's only dreamed of. But can he also trust her with his heart?

MY REVIEW:

JENNIFER CONNER AND ANGELA FORD HAVE CREATED A WONDERFUL LOVE STORY THAT STEAMS UP THE PAGES. WE ARE INTRODUCED TO CHAPPLE AND ELISHA, WHO FROM THEIR VERY FIRST MEETING ARE DRAWN TO EACH OTHER. THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM IS INSTANT.  AFTER CHAPPLE MAKES A COMPLETE FOOL OF HIMSELF IN THE BEDROOM, HE SETS OUT TO BEG ELISHA'S FORGIVENESS AND TO GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE TO SHOW HER HOW IT CAN BE BETWEEN THEM.  WILL ELISHA GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE?

I LOVE WHEN MY FAVORITE AUTHORS WRITE TOGETHER.  JENNIFER CONNER AND ANGELA FORD ARE TWO OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS.  I HAVE NEVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED IN ANY OF THEIR BOOKS.  LONDON WITH A DARE WAS NO EXCEPTION.  I LOVED THE STORY LINE AND THE CHARACTERS ALTHOUGH AT FIRST I DIDN'T LIKE CHAPPLE. CHAPPLE WAS SO MISJUDGED BY PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE TABLOIDS.  LONDON WITH A DARE WAS WELL WRITTEN BY BOTH AUTHORS. YOU COULD FEEL THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE CHARACTERS.  IT FELT SO REAL AND THE MAKING LOVE SCENES BETWEEN CHAPPLE AND ELISHA WERE SO HOT, EROTIC AND EMOTIONAL.  WOW IS ALL I CAN SAY.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A STEAMING, HOT, EROTIC AND EMOTIONAL LOVE STORY, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ LONDON WITH A DARE.  YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.  I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE BOOKS BY JENNIFER CONNER AND ANGELA FORD.  I HOPE THEY WRITE ANOTHER BOOK TOGETHER.  I REALLY ENJOY THEIR BOOKS.  5 STARS.

EXCERPT

“Wow. You’re a vision, you know that?” He practically drools all over. She wears a pair of blue jeans and a low cut green sweater with a white scarf wrapped around her neck. Her hair is up, and she wears light make up. 

She chuckles. “Like what you see?” She smirks at him, daunting him. The little vixen can come out and play when she wants and he is enjoying this side of the sexy Gracelynn. 

He decides to play dirty himself. “Want to see how happy I am to see you?” He smirks back at her. “Let’s make a wager, shall we?” he asks competitively. 

She grins at him. She intently twirls a strand of her hair that she left down by her face between her fingers, licks her lips and stares at him. She looks him up and down, making him even more drawn to her. 

He gulps. The damn vixen knows how to play dirty.

“Well, what is the wager? Because if it is staring at each other all night, I could do that and then some.”

MY REVIEW:

Granted wishes is a magical story of love lost and new beginnings.  How do you move on after losing the love of your life? Gracelynn has been trying to do that for several years.  She misses her husband so much and just can't get on with her life.  She is miserable, sad, unhappy and works all the time.  When she is forced to take a vacation or lose her job, she chooses the vacation and literally runs into Giovanni.  Giovanni brings Gracelynn back to his place and takes care of her.  Under Giovanni's care, Gracelynn begins to come alive again.  As Giovanni and Gracelynn get to know one another, they fall deeply in love.  But will a misunderstanding destroy their relationship?

I really enjoyed Granted Wishes.  The story, characters and even the town felt so magical. It was also a nice added touch that it was around Christmas time.  I have always felt Christmas is a magical time of the year.  I love how Giovanni and Gracelynn meet.  The chemistry is instant between them and it never felt like they were strangers.  It was as if they had known each other all their lives. I love their constant banter back and forth between them.  It was so natural for them. Giovanni was very protective of Gracelynn and I love the closeness they share.  Tanya did a wonderful job with the characters.  I loved them all.  I love the small town setting because everyone knows everyone.  Tanya did an excellent with drawing the reader in the story and making you feel like you were part of the story or better yet one of the characters.  I could feel their pain and heartaches and was with them every step of the way.  I loved that she had a paranormal element to the story.  I loved how she had a voice talking to both Giovanni and Gracelynn who was pushing them together.  I enjoyed the ending very much.

If you are looking for a wonderful, magical love story filled with action and even paranormal, you need to pickup Granted Wishes.  You will not regret it.  Tanya is an excellent writer and you will really enjoy the story just as much as I did.  I am a big fan of paranormal romances with action.  I am a hopeless romantic also and love wonderful love stories.  Tanya has become another one of my favorite authors and I am so looking forward to seeing what she comes up with next.  5 stars

Excerpt

Jamie had amazed herself at her reaction when she saw Kevin. It was like she was watching herself on a TV screen with no controls. I must be drunk on this fresh air. Pleasantly surprised at Kevin’s rugged good looks, she tried to deny the raw sensual tremors he set off and helped him unpack the truck. He was tall and muscular with sand-colored hair, deep blue, kind eyes, and a small cleft in his chin. Don’t even think about it. The last thing I need is to get involved again.

“We need to pick a spot and set up our tents,” he informed her as they trekked toward camp. Many of the choice areas were already taken so Kevin continued to search for patches of level ground for the tents. Common areas with picnic tables, fire pits, and tents were scattered everywhere. They hiked a little farther, toward the outskirts of the tent city.

He put the gear down and explained how he needed to closely scrutinize the ground for rocks, large sticks, and other natural decorations that could cause the body sore spots by morning.

“The tents aren’t big so they don’t need much ground area. This looks good.”

As he pulled one tent out of its pack sack, Jamie instinctively began to help, but her inexperience was obvious.

“I don’t know what to do, but I’m teachable.”

Kevin laughed. “Here, let me show you. It’s pretty simple. Even a city girl can do it.”

“Who? Me? What makes you think I’m a city girl?” Wide-eyed, she pointed to herself.

“Maybe the fact that you’ve lived in New York City all your life?”

“You’ve got a point there. But like I said, I’m teachable.” They bantered back and forth as they erected the first tent. “Okay.” Kevin stood back and admired their success.

“One down. This’ll be yours. Now I’ve got to find a spot for mine.” Eyes focused, surveying the ground, he walked away from her tent.

“Where are you going? Where’s your tent going to be?” The concern was obvious in her voice and he turned to look at her.

“I don’t know. What’s wrong?” His eyes searched hers.

“Like you said, I’m a city girl and I’m not used to sleeping out in the woods. How far away are you going to be?”

He laughed. “With all these tents, you don’t have to worry about animals if that’s your concern.” His face softened as he asked, “Would it make you feel better if I stayed close by?”

Relief flooded through her. “Yes.”

And with that, Kevin chuckled and pitched his tent nearby. They made a return trip to the truck for the remainder of the gear. As they unloaded their bags at the tents, Ben and Tommy came walking up.

“Hey, dinner’s ready. You guys going to eat?” Ben asked.

Thirty-seven years and two kids later, the love story continues. Just like her novels, life can’t be too simple and you must make it an adventurous ride!

Synopsis: Secrets and wars leave the deepest scars.

Evelina Conti has always worn a mask. She is an Outfit principessa, respected and adored. She wasn’t allowed to be anything else. Her father went from a grieving husband to the Outfit boss, and now that Riley heads the family, Eve is more suffocated than ever. No matter how much she hates it, the Conti princess still has a role to play. A little attention from Theo DeLuca seems innocent enough, but nothing is when it comes to him. And certainly not when everyone believes that Theo is out to kill her.

Theo DeLuca has a target on his back. His biggest problem is figuring out who put it there when everyone is aiming at him. He doesn’t need a woman causing him issues, but the Conti princess keeps showing up at the worst times, and he’s the one left saving her. Between the men surrounding him that Theo can’t trust, and the past he can’t outrun, Evelina might be the one thing he doesn’t have to question. But when Riley decides to use Eve as his next move, even Theo might not be able to save her.

The war in Chicago is not even close to being over. This game is deadly. Each hand played cuts another mark into someone else. The Outfit boss is struggling while the men around him are rallying. As the body count continues to rise, the families keep losing.

Sacrifices are a part of war. No one will walk away from this without scars.

A life for a life. That’s the mafia way. Damian Rossi owes his life to a man who is ready to collect. That payment comes in the form of an arranged marriage to the daughter of another leading family in the Chicago Outfit.

Lily DeLuca isn’t being given a choice. Forced home to marry a man she doesn’t know and back into a life she’d rather forget, her world is full of half-truths, buried pain, and uncertainty. But Damian is nothing like she expects. His motives aren’t clear. Her beliefs are being tested.

When it comes to this world, no man can be trusted. Someone is ready to flip the Chicago Outfit on its side all for the promise of something better. But no one runs a clean game and these men play for keeps. When blood begins to paint Chicago red, four families will be divided by loyalty, hatred, and revenge. There is no hiding.

Synopsis: Play dirty. It’s the only way to win in a war.

Alessa Trentini follows the rules, or so it seems on the outside. A certain Conti has always been able to sway her inner rebel and keep her out of trouble, but even Adriano won’t be able to get her out of her brother’s mess. In a war, no woman is safe if her hand in marriage can advance her family in the world of the mafia. But mistakes of the past have a way of slipping into the present and Alessa will soon learn that even the most shameful of secrets can get her everything she wants.

Adriano Conti’s loyalties are torn as he’s forced to stand at his father’s side while Riley uses his wife’s murder as a way to get higher. Blood comes first and then the Outfit. The one thing he doesn’t question in the war between the families is Alessa Trentini and even that doesn’t seem possible when he’s forced to watch Alessa be used as another man’s pawn. Adriano has his own role to play to get what he wants.

The families in the Outfit have never been more divided than they are now. Blood continues to spill as revenge takes center stage and more lives are lost. But every man in the family is fighting for something different and no one’s intentions can be trusted. Playing a dirty game might be the only way to stay alive.

Even if that means ruining it all.
