Black and Blue

By: Gena Showalter

Narrated by: George Newbern

The sizzling second book in New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter’s Otherworld Assassin paranormal romance series.

New York Times bestselling author Gena Showalter’s pulse-pounding paranormal series continues with an electrifying story about the ultimate warrior and his prize: a beautiful woman he will do anything to possess.

HE IS EVERY WOMAN’S FANTASY . . .

Corbin Blue is a man of many talents. One of the most powerful otherworlders ever born, he is wealthy, a professional football star, and a legend in the bedroom. But only a select few know he is also a black ops agent . . . and there is no better killer. When he and his crew are attacked and separated, he’s forced to turn to his boss’s daughter for help—a woman with even more secrets than Blue.

SHE BECOMES HIS ONLY OBSESSION . . .

Evangeline Black has always been wary, guarded. No man has ever breached her walls. Until Blue. He has never been denied something he wants, and now he’s decided he wants her. As he sweeps her into his double life of seduction, intrigue, and danger, he helps her see beyond the darkness of her past. But as an enemy closes in, Blue will have to let Evie go to keep her safe—even though he’d rather die than live without her. . . .

Loved this book!

Like Tracy and Hepburn if they were horny, sarcastic, no holds barred, hit men. This book will charm your pants off, make you laugh out loud, and wish you had Blue of your own. This is G.S. at the top of her game.

Another plus, that makes this book perfect, was the narrator, George Newbern, he was excellent. One of the very few male narrators who do female voices perfectly. Enjoy!

Adorbs!

Another great book. Indeed witty with a story and sexy time in a great combo.

tis a puzzlement

OK, this is really a 3.5 star book.

I liked it, enjoyed it & want more.

BUT it's not really that good of a book that it should have kept me up reading straight thru; but it did. I couldn't stop.

I'll probably read it again.

tis a puzzlement

even better than the first!

awesome! so much sass and snark. These characters really develop a bond that's witty, sharp and lovely. I giggled many times at their antics. 5 stars

A Bit Of A Change For Showalter, But Good Overall

This was a cute little story. It was kind of a quirky, lighthearted chick lit novel that put me in the mindset of Hart to Hart or Moonlighting--for those of you of a certain age :-) you'll know what shows I'm referring to. The narration was good, and the storyline was interesting with good characters. There's a lot of witty & sarcastic banter--A LOT--I didn't mind it, but I could see how it might be a bit of a distraction from the story. It had semi-hot sex scenes and if it were a series I'd likely purchase it just for a deviation from what I feel is truly Showalter's niche--the Lords of the Underworld--she really can't do wrong by my standards with the LOTU series, so I'm always interested in a Showalter book. She's a good writer, period, so if you're in the mood for some 'other worldly' sleuthing and romance, check this one out.
