    typical bachelor party is all about beers and beautiful women. A vampire bachelor party is no different - except the men are drinking Blissky (whiskey-flavored synthetic blood). And no one can throw a party quite like Jack, the illegitimate son of the legendary Casanova. But when the party gets out of hand and the cops show up, Jack has some explaining to do... if only he wasn't struck speechless by the beauty of Officer Lara Boucher. Lara is sure there's something more than a bachelor party going on. Why is Jack so interested in the recent disappearance of young women all over town?

    Story

    This wasn't one of my favorites in the series. It may be because Jack wasn't one of the interesting characters in this series for me. I didn't feel he was interesting enough to have a book of his own. The cop aspect was good but the story still falls flat. The narration wasn't the best. I actually found her character interesting until she falls to fast and to hard for Jack. It would have been nice to keep her a little more edgy.

    A former football star and one of Chicago's top prosecutors, Assistant U.S. Attorney Cade Morgan will do anything to nail a corrupt state senator, which means he needs Brooke Parker's help. As general counsel for a restaurant company, she can get a bug to the senator's table at one of her five-star restaurants so the FBI can eavesdrop on him. All Cade has to do is convince Brooke to cooperate-and he's not afraid to use a little charm, or the power of his office, to do just that.

    Though Rylann Pierce tried to fight the sparks she felt for billionaire heir Kyle Rhodes the night they met, their sizzling chemistry was undeniable. But after being stood up on their first date, Rylann never expected to see him again. So when she finds herself face to face with Kyle in a courthouse nine years later, she's stunned. More troubling to the beautiful Assistant U.S. Attorney is that she's still wildly attracted to him. Just released from prison, Kyle Rhodes isn't thrilled to be the star witness in a high-profile case....

    This story is romance from beginning to end. You start off thinking come on Kyle really big boy just because a girl dumps you. But then he grows on you and yes he does charm you. And then you can see the deli mina Rylann has to face. But through it all if you are a romantic you’ll find yourself cheering for them. I like the story.

    Jordan Rhodes is invited to all of Chicago's best parties, but there's only one the FBI wants to crash. To get her brother out of jail, she agrees to take Agent McCall as her date. But when the mission gets botched, requiring their "relationship" to continue, it starts to feel less like an investigation-and a lot like something else.

    What a like about Jordon is she sticks to her conviction and stays on track as to why she reached out to the FBI. Who can blame McCall for chasing down Jordon. Got to love those FBI agents. The story is fun. It is not wild but enjoyable. Sexy and romantic. Narration is good. This series reminds me a lot of K Sparks minus the vampires. Worth a credit Not a lot guns, action and you are not a roller coaster ride but it’s enjoyable.

    Staying overnight in a luxury hotel, Assistant U.S. Attorney Cameron Lynde overhears a high-profile murder involving a U.S. senator. Special Agent Jack Pallas is assigned to the investigation - the same Jack Pallas who still blames her for nearly ruining his career three years ago. Now the pair will have to put their rocky past behind them, focus on the case at hand - and smother the flame of their sizzling-hot sexual tension.

    Story

    Nothing like a handsome strong fearsome FBI agent and tough sexy US attorney go at each other and tackling a strange mystery that puts them both in danger. This is a fun listen not too intense but just enough action to keep you guessing. Karen White does a good job with the narration. It is a good kick off for this series. Remember this a romance series not an erotic tale. So if you want more of a sexual jaunt this story probably won’t satisfy you. But for light romantic tale with a bit of intrigue this should work. Predictable yes but worth the credit for me yes. If you don’t have a credit get it when it goes on sale

To make matters worse, she’s also been kidnapped by Trey Coleman, a dangerous alpha male from another pack.

    Story

    Sometimes a book comes along and you just say wow. A five star listen. This is one of those books for me. Tara is sassy with a sarcastic wit to challenge all including the alpha male Trey. And Trey is no angel but a wolf shifter alpha that has a dangerous temper that only Tara is able to control not tame. This is a hot sexy romance with all the eroticism one could ask for. But it is also the secondary characters in this story that makes this a good listen. There is humor laughter and danger for all. Looking forward to the next chapter from the Phoenix pact.

    P. J. and Cole were sharpshooting rivals on the same KGI team and enjoyed a spirited, uncomplicated camaraderie. Until the night they gave in to their desires and suddenly took their relationship one step further. In the aftermath of their one-night stand, they’re called out on a mission that goes terribly wrong, and P. J. walks away from KGI, resolved not to drag her teammates into the murky shadows she’s poised to delve into. Six months later, Cole hasn’t given up his search for P. J., and he’s determined to bring her back home where she belongs.

    I was looking forward to PJ's story. But man a poor narration sucks the life out of great story. A strong female PJ goes through one of the worst thing a woman can go through with her team. And this is just after she has opened up to her sniper teammate Cole. If you have read any this series you could see this connection with PJ and Cole growing. But the narration isn't able to convey the emotions of any of the characters in the story. It was the story that kept me listening. So I loved the story. The story is worth it, so buy the book and read it yourself.

    Grace Peterson is desperate, in hiding, and on the run after escaping a shadowy group determined to exploit her extraordinary ability to heal others. Her only lifeline - an unerring telepathic ability she shares with her sister - has been severed, leaving her alone and vulnerable. And time is running out.... Enlisted to bring Grace home is Rio, relentless member of the KGI. He's unprepared for his reaction to this wounded, damaged woman, and he's fiercely determined to protect her from those who nearly destroyed her.

    Rio is sexy from his sexy voice to his sexy body. Who wouldn't want to rumble in the jungle with him. Grace has all the strength and fortitude her sister Shea has. But she also has the guilt that comes with her gift. And the bad guys are on her tail. A rescue by Rio and his team is just what a gal needs. This is actual a romance that builds from beginning to end. While reconnecting sisters. And it's a nice spin that is one of KG team leads and not a Kelly brother that has the lead in this tale. So if you like the series then this is a worth the credit.

Garrett never planned on falling for Sarah - but when she disappears, nothing will stop him from bringing her home safe.

    Story

    This series keeps getting better with each installment. The theme is strong tough guys fighting a good fight against bad guys and falling for the one woman who can make or break them. A strong family standing behind the brothers. And all the family issues that come with having a big family. Maya takes all of this into account with a steamy romance between the lead characters. Predictable yes, but worth the credit.

    New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Maya Banks here continues her enthralling series based around the Kelly brothers - six rugged men who make up an elite military group. When Nathan Kelly is finally rescued from behind enemy lines, he credits his life to Shea, whose psychic voice sustained his spirit through it all. But now Shea has gone silent, and Nathan fears she’s in trouble. Can he find Shea in time to repay the tremendous debt he owes her?

    Story

    If you enjoy an action packed romantic book with sexy the KG men and a strong female lead then this is a book for you. The paranormal psychic connection between Nathan and Shea drives this story. But what is interesting is how Maya brings the family into their relationship. Which makes for a good listen. It’s not all guns and killing bad guys. The romance builds and strengthens for Nathan and Shea by what they must endure as a result of Shea’s psychic ability. I think when a book has you looking to download the next in a series it speaks for itself.
