Francesa "Frankie" Donatello runs a women's magazine called Skin. She interviews Reese Garrett (a UC cop) a male model for a centerfold spread.
There were undertones of Frankie's background being tied to mobster-like history. Her father being a don was "taken out". Reese is trying anything to get information from her any way he can to close the case against her. While Frankie doesn't want to sleep with her new employee the wicked hot attraction to his naked body d...more

I knew this book was going to be a wild ride when it opened with a woman demanding a man strip so she can check out his assets, and boy, did it not disappoint.
From the start Frankie, ie Mafia Princess, and Reese, ie under cover cop, had chemistry. Their instant attraction made for some very interesting reading. Both of them are predisposed to hate each other, or at least they would be if Frankie really knew about Reese, they both want to have the upper hand in the relationship be...more

Una novela encantadora, cada vez me convenzo + que la autora es una de mis favoritas :)
Karin Tabke me sorprendió con ese giro que da la historia, yo realmente nunca supe quién estaba detras de todo, mis apuestas estaban en la persona equivocada, me temo.
La parejita tenía una química buenísima y yo podía imaginarme las fotos que conseguían esos dos XD La escena del granero fue terriblemente hot :O Pero por supuesto, eso no era todo entre estos dos. Me encantó los celos de ...more

Anyone who likes sexy cops, mystery and of course romance!
I loved this book... Reese had me fanning my self!! He was sexy in every move he made! The chemistry btwn him and Frankie was undeniable... The way he felt such lost when he thought of how that could never be together was soooo sad, tho all the trust issues got annoying. I really hoped Frankie would be honest with Reese so that he could be honest to her. In the end it worked out and i loved hearing that Phil and Ty from the 1st book were engaged. I hope Jaded gives a glimpse into the lives of Re...more

3 stars - Romantic Suspense/Erotica
Skin by Karin Tabke sort of reminded me of a steamy, erotica-lite, romantic version of an episode of the Sopranos. I liked the relationship development between the undercover cop/model Reese & the mafia princess/photographer Francesca "Frankie". The descriptions of the photo shoots between Frankie and Reese are extremely sexy, and Karin Tabke writes a realistic and intriguing cop and bad guy procedural. I liked the characters in Skin much ...more

Absolutely Perfect!
Ever read a book where the characters jumped off the page? Ever read a book where you fell in love with the story even as the main characters fell in love? Ever read a book where you enjoyed the scenes and could visualize them as if you were the author? Ever read a book that you never wanted to end? Ever read a book that was so romantic that your heart got involved?
This is the second book in this series. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the first book, for me...more

I originally started this in June and just couldn't get into it, but I believe it was my fault and not the story - too many other books I wanted to read. I just picked it back up and really enjoyed it. It had some really spicy sex scenes, the truth or dare striptease in the atrium- ultra hot- and a few others. The hero, Reese, was so sexy and alpha even though he was working undercover as a centerfold for the the heroine and her Skin magazine. He wasn't the best at following her directions w...more
Read it too long ago to recall much except that I liked it. I think. A reread is in order so will start on that today and set aside the MM I'm reading till later.
*** 3 1/2 stars ****
Fast paced romantica suspense. Lost 1/2 star because of the repeated cliched/Soprano-ish names/situtations. Other than that, an enjoyable steamy book.

Hot. Compelling. Steamy. Erotic. Karen Tabke knows what she's doing to keep the reader interested and wanting more.
This story is a fast read has a very strong story line.
I really liked it I thought it was well written.

The Sopranos does erotica. Very strong book - the characters, the writing, the action. I loved the whole book except for one nagging point: I was a little put off by how easily Frankie was duped by her undercover cop - even when she had doubts, she should have known. Or guessed. Or something. And once she found out he was a cop she still kept sleeping with him. I almost had to ask how she survived in her family as long as she did.
