I received a copy in exchange for an honest review
I have read three of the stories that are contained in this steamy and suspenseful collection. They were filled with plenty of intrigue and hotness...let me tell you a little about them.
Storm by Jo Raven
Whew! I have to say that Storm is unlike any others books that I have read by Jo Raven. This is what I would refer to as sexy suspense and she kept me enthralled and tantalized till the very last word. She has proven that no matter how the stories differ that she is still phenomenal. I have been a fan girl of Jo Raven for quite some time and I noticed that her writing style still shines through. Her characters were still troubled and oh so sexy, just with a heavier dose of angst and danger. Boy does she make danger look good! This story of Raylin and Storm was an actual spin off of her much loved Inked of Brotherhood series. It is a stand alone so therefore no prior knowledge is required but once you get a taste of Jo Raven's writing, you will want to devour all of her steamy books and delectable characters. Storm and Raylin's love story is turbulent, all consuming, and a whirlwind that sweeps you away into their mysterious world. Secrets, sex and bullets surround this couple and keep the reader intrigued.
Storm is a sexy, tattooed, conflicted individual who spends his time running from his problems both literally and figuratively. He is hiding from his life and friends who think that he is delusional and paranoid. When he happens to run into the beautiful, frightened, and independent Raylin, he is enchanted and blown away by her body and soul. This story will make you fall in love with the beginning of the Sex and Bullets series as well as Raylin and Storm. I cannot wait to see what Hawk and Rook have in store for us in the following books in the series. Jo Raven does troubled bad boys and sassy heroines in an addicting style all her own. I recommend for a provocative, action packed, romance that will entertain and entice.
Perfectly Seduced by Lacey Silks
When I started reading Sean and April’s story in the prequel Perfectly Equipped, I felt Perfectly Seduced by Sean and thought that April was one lucky woman. Besides being well endowed he was suave, heartfelt, and knew how to rock April’s world. When more erupted then just their passion in Perfectly Equipped, I was devastated for them and had high hopes of them to finding one another in Perfectly Seduced. I was left with many questions and was curious to see what happens with the rest of their relationship. Luckily, Lacey Silks did not leave us hanging deep in thought and fantasies about this dynamic duo for very long. This book was just as gripping from the beginning. The mystery leaves you intrigued and the passion leaves you hot and bothered. So let me take a moment to talk about what is quickly becoming one of my favorite couples that Lacey Silks has created.
Lacey delves deeper into the life and psyche of April. She is a highly successful medical examiner, single mom, and widow who recently moved back to her hometown. She believes that living here is exactly what her and her son need to recover from tragedy. She is looking to settle into town and live a peaceful future. She didn’t think she needed another man in her life until she encountered Sean and his “perfect equipment”. She is on a mission to find him until he finds her first. Little does she know, he never lost her to begin with. He has been hot on her tail this entire time.
In Perfectly Seduced we get to see both the inside and out of the desirable, melt on your tongue, charming Sean. He is highly intelligent, single dad that has a very unsavory job to do when it comes to April. He did not expect to believe in her innocence and to fall head over heels in lust and love with the beautiful, sassy, equally intelligent April. He has his work cut out for him in more ways than one. He is determined to prove her innocence, protect her, and get her to trust him. That is a tall order and Sean is up for the challenge…pun intended.
I absolutely loved this story in every aspect. There was enough mystery and intrigue to keep you engrossed and believing you were in the middle of a James Bond film. I dare say that the passion was hotter and sweet enough to cause a toothache. Lacey Silks created such a profound love story between April and Sean that leaves you with your curiosity satiated, slightly aroused, and misty eyed from the love and big hearts of the characters that are written. I highly recommend for readers who love their romance wrapped up a cloak of danger and mystery. Lacey Silks has done it again.
Magnificent Ruin by Alison Foster
Whew! What can I say about this book other than the writing was Magnificent? It was beautifully written and full of intrigue. The author knows how to keep you on your toes mentally and talk about provocative!I was afraid that Tomas and Taylor were going to combust! This story was full of mystery and sexy scenes that will knock your socks off! This was not the first book that I read by Alison Foster and it will not be my last. She is a phenomenal story teller of both suspense and of course hot and steamy romance.
Tomas was so hot with his zen workouts, sex on the beach, protectiveness of Taylor,and all the mystery he exudes. I love the tone of his relationship with Nathan, they were brothers by choice and truly understood each other along with being extremely loyal to one another. He was sweet to Taylor even when he was being stubborn and knew how to get what he wanted both in and out of the bedroom.
I really connected with Taylor, she was not a weak wall flower that would fade into the background. She is brave, strong willed, sassy when she needs to be, and beautiful both inside and out. She is the perfect compliment to Tomas and his need to help everyone.
I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a an arousing, suspenseful love story.

5 stars! A fantastic collection of books and authors!
This collection is an unbelievable value. My review is for two of the books.
Billionaires in Disguise: Rae - Complete Omnibus Edition - 5 stars!
I read the full story of Rae and Wulf back in 2014 and immediately fell in love with Blair Babylon’s writing; she is on my top 10 list of favorite authors. Getting the full BID: Rae as part of this boxed set is a fantastic deal.
Rae and Wulf's story was full of twists and turns and kept me on the edge of my seat nearly the entire time. The story has a HFN and Rae and Wulf make appearances in other books.
If you love this story as much as I did you won’t be able to wait to read the books about Lizzy and Georgie which are available now.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The Vigilante's Lover - 5 stars!
I read the Vigilante’s Lover serial back when it was first released in 2015. This boxed set contains the first 3 episodes which is a bargain; there is only 1 additional episode you need to buy.
I normally don't read serials because I hate cliffhangers but this sounded so good I had to read it and I'm so glad I did. Jax is hot and he has Mia very confused about her feelings. How can she like a fugitive?
I love how the chapters alternate between Jax and Mia's view point. The story flows quickly and kept my attention.
Deanna Roy aka Annie Winters aka JJ Knight is one of my favorite authors no matter what name she uses.

Magnificent Ruin by Alison Foster: Taylor is on an island vacation with Tomas after her life got too complicated back in LA. After a steamy dream leaves her thinking of Tomas in ways she hadn't before. Tomas has had his eye on Taylor since the first time he saw her, but knows his life isn't what she needs so he tries to stay away. When that doesn't work and they come together with explosiveness he will try his hardest to keep her safe, when things in his life get a little hairy, even if it means pushing her away. Taylor wont have that though and will fight to stay by his side because he worries about those important people in his life, but she wonders who really worries about him and wants to be that person who is. An absolutely amazing book from Alison Foster! I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Storm by Jo Raven: I was given an ARC of this book for my honest review. Jo does not disappoint in her latest story. Although different from her inked and damaged boys this story does connect. We get to hear Raiylnn's story, we met her as Megan's roommate in Rate, and hear why she is running. Along the way she meets Storm and they end up saving each other. These 2 couldn't be more different, yet the protection they feel for each other and the lengths they go to for each other is truly special. Cant wait to hear Storm's friends stories.

I have only read Blair's story about Rae and Wulf but if they are all like this, it is a wonderful book. I instantly fell in love with Wulf and Rae. Wulf doesn't want to believe he can fall in love and doesn't trust that it was safe for him to as well. Rae can't believe that anyone would want to be with her. She is from an ultraconservative Baptist faction. She is finally able to spread her wings at college though. Wulf is the hotest thing she has ever seen but she thinks a friend has fallen too. She won't go after him but ends up having him come after her. I am so glad that they end up with a happy ending.

This is a review for Finding Allie by Meli Raine.
I was sent this arc by the author for an honest review and I can definitely say it didn't disappoint. It's a short read but had me hooked from page one. I loved the characters and the story was action packed throughout. When Chase and Allie meet for the first time there's an instant attraction between them, but as they are the son and stepdaughter of rival drug dealers everything is against them from the start. I can't wait to jump into book 2 to see where there story goes and I will definitely be looking out for more books from Meli Raine.

Some good books in here, but I can't help getting a bit annoyed about the many stories we only get a few pages of. You can download the whole stories for a limited time, but when you like me have a kindle stuffed with books, then you don't always read a book you buy right away, so some of the stories I can't get for free anymore. I would prefer if the red hot books had maybe fewer authors but whole stories all the way.

Magnificent Ruin by Alison Foster
This story has suspense with twists and hot steamy romance. This book has me on the edge of my seat. Tomas is hot, sexy and protective. Taylor is sassy and strong willed. The attraction and chemistry between Tomas and Taylor is hot! This story will not disappoint.

Read "Rae" by Blair Babylon at an earlier date. Good story along with the steam. Some authors forget the story and just use steam. This has a little dark but not as much as the Lizzy series and the interaction between characters is great. Thanks for the good read.
September 28, 2016
Got a story in exchange for an honest review. I've actually read a lot of these stories & they're all very good. But got the story Magnificent ruin by Alison Foster & couldn't get enough. It kept me on the edge of my seat. Wow. Snatch this one up ASAP. A lot of great books in this bundle.

FABULOUSLY ENTERTAINING COLLECTION OF STORIES !!!
Title: Red Hot Romantic Suspense Box Set
Authors: Multiple
Designation: Romantic Suspense, Complete Stories(Some Standalone & Some Part of Ongoing Series with happy-for-now/cliffhangers)
My Rating: Five OH MY Stars*****
Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! Jackpot! I feel like I just won the lottery! Anyone who has read my reviews in the past probably already knows how much I enjoy box sets but this collection of stories is fabulous! I loved it! I originally bought this collection for two of the stories, Finding Allie by Meli Raine and Lease on Love by Violet Vaughn. Raine and Vaughn just happen to be two of my all-time favorite romance authors. I normally pay more than 99 pennies for just one of their stories so paying less than a dollar to add 16 stories to my collection was a real bargain for me. But before I forget, I'd also like to mention that another one of my all-time favorite authors is also included in this collection and that's Annie Winters. Her contribution to the set is The Vigilante's Lover which I read shortly after it was first published a few years ago and have been following the entire series ever since. And yes, folks, this one is part of an ongoing series but once you read the first one, you won't be able to stop. There are currently 5 books available in The Vigilante Series and the first four are also available in a convenient box set. But as usual, I digress, so back to this collection. Yesterday, I only intended to read the two stories by Meli Raine and Violet Vaughn. But folks, once I started reading, I simply could not stop. I began thumbing through the other stories just to see what else was included and decided to check out a few more...then a few more...and this continued through the night. lol... I think I slept for a total of three hours and exhausted the charge on both of my Kindles and my iPad. And you know what? They were all extraordinary! Not a bad one in the whole bunch! I love steamy romance and adore mystery/suspense but give me both in one great collection of stories and I'm in heaven! I was happier than a Georgia pig in slop, and that's mighty happy, people! I found all of the stories to be exciting, well-crafted, beautifully written and filled to the brim with danger, drama, action, intrigue, mystery, suspense, angst, passion and steamy romance. *sigh* Just so darn dreamy! If you're looking for a real bargain and 16 fabulous stories, then this collection is calling your name! Did I like this box set? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers! Will I read these authors again? Abso-freaking-lutely! I've added quite a few to my favorites list! Was I entertained! Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
Want a little sample of one of the stories included in this collection? Good, because I'm dying to share my review for The Vigilante's Lover, the story included in this set and the first release in The Vigilante Series by Annie Winters. If you love romantic suspense, intrigue and spy thrillers, you'll love this one!
I'm completely addicted to stories that combines romance with suspense but add a super secret spy organization, a handsome sexy agent on the run and out for justice as well as a little payback, then throw in a liberal measure of thrills, chills, action and adventure, and I'm in heaven! I fell head over heels for The Vigilante's Lover by Annie Winters and Tony West after reading the first book of the series in March 2015. As soon as I finished, I raced back to Amazon to purchase the remaining three books in the collection and devoured all four in two days. I was totally smitten and a fan for life! I found the entire series to be exciting, thrilling, intelligent, imaginative, fast paced, action packed, romantic and exceptionally well crafted. The narrative was beautifully written in the first person with alternating his and her points of view. The dialogue was smart, witty, well executed, seductive and flowed effortlessly. Winters and West are both extremely talented, each in their own right, but combine their talents, and they become a remarkable dynamic duo. But as much as I loved the premise and plot of this series, it was the remarkable cast of characters that captured my heart. They were captivating, intriguing, engaging, realistic, well developed, sexy and at times, also quite funny. Yes, there was also an element of humor in this story which not only surprised me but pleased me as well. I loved the interaction between Jax and Mia, the two protagonists of the story. Jax was intelligent, brave, handsome, charismatic and sexy as sin but hardened and driven by his need for answers and vengeance. Mia was beautiful, innocent and naive but she was also courageous, smart and quite enterprising. And the sexual chemistry between Jax and Mia was off the charts hot! They were absolute perfection! Winters and West skillfully combine their strengths to craft a masterpiece of romantic suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat with your heart pounding and gasping for your next breath. If you love stories filled to the brim with heart-stopping danger, heart-pounding adventure, spine-tingling suspense, mind-blowing intrigue and steamy, dreamy romance, then this is definitely the series for you! What did I love about this story? Everything! What didn't I like? Not a darn thing! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am! Will I read Winters and West again? Absolutely! Just as soon as they release their next book, which fortunately will be soon!
Story Synopsis:
Mia became an orphan at eight when her parents were killed in a boating accident and is taken in and raised by her aunt. Now that her aunt has also died after suffering a debilitating stroke, she is truly alone. No one is more stunned than the innocent, naive Mia when she begins receiving torrid, sensual letters from a convicted felon addressed to an unknown woman at her aunt's home in a small, rural town in Tennessee which is where she is now living. Mia is completely consumed by the erotic content and on a whim, decides to answer the letters to the imprisoned man who writes with such ardor and passion. What could be the harm in replying to a few letters, right? After all, the man is in prison. Until he isn't! Now, Jax Deluca in her home and he wants answers. Unfortunately, Mia is completely clueless and has no answers for the demanding Jax Deluca. So what's a good girl to do when she's tied up and questioned by a hardened criminal who has just escaped from prison? Hmm...is that a trick question? No, but for Mia, it is quite complicated because the innocent, guileless Mia suddenly finds herself very much attracted to the handsome Jax. Oh my!
Vigilante Jax Deluca has been betrayed and falsely imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. He's determined to discover the identity of all those responsible for the death of his partner and the destruction of his life and hold them accountable. He wants justice and is willing to do whatever it takes to obtain it. And he knows exactly where to start - with the woman answering his letters. He has no idea who this woman really is but she's definitely not who she's pretending to be because his letters are in code, apparently one this woman doesn't recognize. Although Jax must admit, he has certainly enjoyed her letters. But once he escapes, he has ways to make her talk and will use them all to get the answers he seeks. Or so he thought! Unfortunately, once he sets eyes on the lovely, wide-eyed Mia and has her at his mercy, all bets are off and Jax suddenly finds himself in quite a predicament. So what does a seasoned, hardened vigilante out for vengeance and driven by the need for revenge do when he captures a beautiful, inexperienced and very naive impersonator and becomes totally captivated by her? Kidnap and take her with him, of course! Oh my! Buckle up, my lovelies! We're in for a wild ride! Fabulous entertainment and awesome read!
Title: Red Hot Romantic Suspense Box Set
Authors: Multiple
Designation: Romantic Suspense, Complete Stories(Some Standalone & Some Part of Ongoing Series with happy-for-now/cliffhangers)
My Rating: Five OH MY Stars*****
Oh my! Oh my! Oh my! Jackpot! I feel like I just won the lottery! Anyone who has read my reviews in the past probably already knows how much I enjoy box sets but this collection of stories is fabulous! I loved it! I originally bought this collection for two of the stories, Finding Allie by Meli Raine and Lease on Love by Violet Vaughn. Raine and Vaughn just happen to be two of my all-time favorite romance authors. I normally pay more than 99 pennies for just one of their stories so paying less than a dollar to add 16 stories to my collection was a real bargain for me. But before I forget, I'd also like to mention that another one of my all-time favorite authors is also included in this collection and that's Annie Winters. Her contribution to the set is The Vigilante's Lover which I read shortly after it was first published a few years ago and have been following the entire series ever since. And yes, folks, this one is part of an ongoing series but once you read the first one, you won't be able to stop. There are currently 5 books available in The Vigilante Series and the first four are also available in a convenient box set. But as usual, I digress, so back to this collection. Yesterday, I only intended to read the two stories by Meli Raine and Violet Vaughn. But folks, once I started reading, I simply could not stop. I began thumbing through the other stories just to see what else was included and decided to check out a few more...then a few more...and this continued through the night. lol... I think I slept for a total of three hours and exhausted the charge on both of my Kindles and my iPad. And you know what? They were all extraordinary! Not a bad one in the whole bunch! I love steamy romance and adore mystery/suspense but give me both in one great collection of stories and I'm in heaven! I was happier than a Georgia pig in slop, and that's mighty happy, people! I found all of the stories to be exciting, well-crafted, beautifully written and filled to the brim with danger, drama, action, intrigue, mystery, suspense, angst, passion and steamy romance. *sigh* Just so darn dreamy! If you're looking for a real bargain and 16 fabulous stories, then this collection is calling your name! Did I like this box set? No, I LOVED it! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am but only for adult readers! Will I read these authors again? Abso-freaking-lutely! I've added quite a few to my favorites list! Was I entertained! Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
Want a little sample of one of the stories included in this collection? Good, because I'm dying to share my review for The Vigilante's Lover, the story included in this set and the first release in The Vigilante Series by Annie Winters. If you love romantic suspense, intrigue and spy thrillers, you'll love this one!
I'm completely addicted to stories that combines romance with suspense but add a super secret spy organization, a handsome sexy agent on the run and out for justice as well as a little payback, then throw in a liberal measure of thrills, chills, action and adventure, and I'm in heaven! I fell head over heels for The Vigilante's Lover by Annie Winters and Tony West after reading the first book of the series in March 2015. As soon as I finished, I raced back to Amazon to purchase the remaining three books in the collection and devoured all four in two days. I was totally smitten and a fan for life! I found the entire series to be exciting, thrilling, intelligent, imaginative, fast paced, action packed, romantic and exceptionally well crafted. The narrative was beautifully written in the first person with alternating his and her points of view. The dialogue was smart, witty, well executed, seductive and flowed effortlessly. Winters and West are both extremely talented, each in their own right, but combine their talents, and they become a remarkable dynamic duo. But as much as I loved the premise and plot of this series, it was the remarkable cast of characters that captured my heart. They were captivating, intriguing, engaging, realistic, well developed, sexy and at times, also quite funny. Yes, there was also an element of humor in this story which not only surprised me but pleased me as well. I loved the interaction between Jax and Mia, the two protagonists of the story. Jax was intelligent, brave, handsome, charismatic and sexy as sin but hardened and driven by his need for answers and vengeance. Mia was beautiful, innocent and naive but she was also courageous, smart and quite enterprising. And the sexual chemistry between Jax and Mia was off the charts hot! They were absolute perfection! Winters and West skillfully combine their strengths to craft a masterpiece of romantic suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat with your heart pounding and gasping for your next breath. If you love stories filled to the brim with heart-stopping danger, heart-pounding adventure, spine-tingling suspense, mind-blowing intrigue and steamy, dreamy romance, then this is definitely the series for you! What did I love about this story? Everything! What didn't I like? Not a darn thing! Would I recommend it? You bet and I am! Will I read Winters and West again? Absolutely! Just as soon as they release their next book, which fortunately will be soon!
Story Synopsis:
Mia became an orphan at eight when her parents were killed in a boating accident and is taken in and raised by her aunt. Now that her aunt has also died after suffering a debilitating stroke, she is truly alone. No one is more stunned than the innocent, naive Mia when she begins receiving torrid, sensual letters from a convicted felon addressed to an unknown woman at her aunt's home in a small, rural town in Tennessee which is where she is now living. Mia is completely consumed by the erotic content and on a whim, decides to answer the letters to the imprisoned man who writes with such ardor and passion. What could be the harm in replying to a few letters, right? After all, the man is in prison. Until he isn't! Now, Jax Deluca in her home and he wants answers. Unfortunately, Mia is completely clueless and has no answers for the demanding Jax Deluca. So what's a good girl to do when she's tied up and questioned by a hardened criminal who has just escaped from prison? Hmm...is that a trick question? No, but for Mia, it is quite complicated because the innocent, guileless Mia suddenly finds herself very much attracted to the handsome Jax. Oh my!

I am a person who like covers. I look then I read but you can't go wrong either way with this entire anthology, I haven't read all 16 of these stories and I don't know all of the Authors but I read some of the books and they are fantastic! When you think everything is quiet, who shows up but that man who you have a crush on. They're dressed in leather or a well fitting suit and you want that dream that you been having where he helps you in the Aston Martin or help you on to the back of a bike and speed you away and then he'll throw you onto a bed or against a tree and make wild passionate love to you. WOW a girl can dream!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WOW is this book Spectacular! I am a huge fan of Violet Vaughn! I give 5 star reviews to books I really enjoy, 5 stars must make me laugh, smile, cry a little and feel romantic, OMG does this one deserve it. This is the book we really get to know these Two characters. I loved the romance in this storyline. There is a darker part to this one and I had to break out the Kleenex! I am in awe of how Lori over came her fears and made her life all her own! I can't believe how realistic this story felt and that's a truly great thing! The storyline is so SPECTACULAR, because there is this 'conflict' or disconnect between Lori and Kaleb that is so real and believable. It had me saying what a male move. This is so amazing, it's one of the two main qualities that had me so intrigued & captivated by this story! The other being how Kaleb handles not BEING HERO of the moment, but also how they broke up to make up too!

Perfectly Seduced by Lacey Silks
Finding Allie by Meli Raine
This was a good start to the Breaking Away Series By Meli Raine. Chase is the son of Galt The President of Atlas Motorcycle Club, he knows that his father and other club members do bad things and Chase really doesn't want to be a part of it but his father is training him to become the VP of the club. Allie lives with her stepfather Jeff and works in his bar, Allie doesn't get paid but she does make tips and she's hiding them so she can move to LA to be with her sister that moved there a few years earlier. Allie has no one, her mother died two years ago and she thinks her stepfather may have killed her, her best friend is leaving for college in a few weeks and then she will be totally alone. Until she meets Chase, it's instant chemistry between the two of them, Chase makes it his business to protect her when all hell breaks out in the bar, from that point on they desperately want to be together but both fathers (father/stepfather) are against it. Besides her stepfather has other plans for her so he needs to make sure Chase doesn't damage the goods......
Sounds very ominous doesn't it, well I'll tell you a secret, Poor Allie doesn't know any of this and although she doesn't like her stepfather much she NEVER thought he would do something like this.....

What a great start to this series! If you've read Fight for Her, Volume 4 then you know Jax, he's like a hotter version of 007. Jax is in prison and he's writing all of these hot letters about bondage to his comrade Klaus but what he didn't know is that Mia is the one that has been responding to his letters, it turns out that all of the bondage talk was secret codes...CRAZY! Anyway, Mia is oblivious to all of this, she is just a 20 year old virgin from a small town in Tennessee that lives alone after her aunt died. The sparks fly between Jax and Mia but he doesn't believe she is who she says she is...typical, the vigilante didn't believe anything he just believes everyone is out to get him. I wanted more!!! I cannot wait to read The Vigilante's Lover #2 I need to know what happens next, especially since we are left with one heck of a cliff hanger.

review for Storm by Jo Raven from this set.
This is the start of a new series by Jo Raven and wow what a way to start!
This story is about Raylin (Ray) and Storm (Troy). It starts off with Ray breaking into a run down mansion on the beach. She's on the run and just needs a place to rest for a few days. Storm is also staying at the beach trying to lay low for different reasons. Trying to get away. I won't give spoilers but the story goes from here to a wild chase and a fight to stay alive!
I wasn't sure what to expect from this series having read all of Jo's other books she had said this was slightly different to her usual and to be honest i was a little scared! lol I needn't have been though it was just amazing! From the start i wasn't sure where it was gonna go. There was an instant attraction between Ray and Storm and you could tell that there was a lot of secrets to be told but their chemistry pushed them on. It built slowly and i was trying to figure out where it was gonna go then... boom it exploded!!! Literally!! Mad sex, gun fights, explosions, running for their lives, hospital visits, helicopter rides, private jets and then more steamy romps!! Wow!!! It was definitely action packed and i loved it!!!
Ray and Storm are both amazing characters and i loved them from the start. Ray's the kinda girl who had a rubbish childhood and despite all that still has a heart of gold. Storm... well oh my god!! Hot doesn't cover him, smoking a bit closer, oh hot damn i'll just say pantie change alert!! I also loved Storm's two best friends Hawk and Rook. Both of these guys are gonna have me fanning my shirt to get air! HOT HOT HOT. Hawk is next and i can't wait for it. I think more of this story is gonna unfold into Hawk's book.
I can't recommend this book highly enough. Just use that clicky finger and buy it! Suitable for everyone.

Review for "Finding Allie".....we find Allie working in a bar with her stepfather who is way to overprotective for a stepfather! All Allie wants to do is continue to save enough money (she secretly hides in it a music box from her mother in the tampon machine) to get to LA to be with her sister... enter one day Chase a sexy, hot, handsome biker who is instantly drawn to Allie and she to him. This story has moments where you will shed a tear, chuckle, sigh and want to take a punch at someone...but most of all you want Allie's dream of getting away from her stepfather to come true..at least I did. There are secrets revealed...one that had me saying out loud oh my god he can't do that! This book does end with a cliff hanger so be pre-warned! I will not reveal any secrets because I do not want to spoil this for anyone who is going to read this series but I will say that Allie and Chase accept each other for who they are and their acceptance of each other is unconditional..as is their love...I look forward to reading more from Meli Raine as I do love a good MC love story with some mystery thrown in.

#Reviewing Blair Babylon's Book Billionaires in Disguise: Rae which I love, this Billionaires in Disguise: series is awesome, having found it via Georgies story. Blair has a talent for creating a fast paced but totally addictive read. When I started reading about my favourite Book Girlfriends Rae, Georgie and Lizzy, I met them via Georgies story, the girls all go to college together, Rae being the most naive of all, escaping her baptist upbringing, college was a bit of an eye opener and Lizzy and Georgie have taken her under their wing. But when the girls lose track of her at a frat party, will they find her in time, or will her future be forever changed?
I am not going to say any more as I think the best way to get into Blair Babylon's writing is to just jump in and get addicted to her sassy gals and Billionaires in disguise who all tend to be on my top Book Boyfriend List!
As to the other books in this series - I look forward to finishing reading them and finding some new authors to read

Review for Lease on Love by Violet Vaughn
Lori is trying to start over. She wants to put the pain in the past from her abusive relationship. She loves her new job teaching the kids to ski and begins to really care for one of the other instructors. Kaleb seems like a man she can spend her future with but the past won't stay buried.
This is the second story in the series about the instructors at a ski resort and their romantic relationships. It is a sweet series featuring characters that are engaging. There is a lot of heat and heart in this story of a woman trying to reclaim her life and the happiness she eserves.
I received a copy in return for a honest review.

Billionaires in Disguise: Rae is a stunningly brilliant and deeply passionate testament to the overwhelming power and beautiful vulnerability of finding love when you least expect it. There is something so amazing when love comes into your life like a uncontrollable whirlwind that steals your breath away and disintegrates the impenetrable walls surrounding your heart. Nothing and no one can stand in its way when its time has come. It may be an unwelcomed guest at times, but it soothes and seduces you with scorching heat, gentle touches, and all-consuming contentment. There is truly nothing quite like it.
Rae is in trouble. She is losing her precious college scholarship due to failing an impossibly hard statistics class. Her beautiful dreams of opening a clinic for autistic kids are crumbling around her. The only thing left for her to do is to go home and surrender to the hollow and lifeless future that is callously staring back at her. Everyone told her that she was nothing, and maybe they were right. However, her friends Georgie and Lizzy convince her that she has one last chance left to pursue her dream. What and who they introduce her to will literally change her life forever. What she needs now is the courage and the strength to move forward one step at a time. Will Rae be able to walk into an unknown and unfamiliar future, or will she let her fear send her back home resigned to her miserable fate?
I stared reading Blair’s books with Georgie’s story which I immediately feel in love with. Then, I recently read Lizzy’s which tore my heart to shreds while it swept me into a spectacular whirlwind romance. Now, I am finally reading Rae’s story, and I am left utterly speechless with a heart full of too many fantastic emotions to name or feel at once. Rae’s journey has captured my heart in a very different and very real way that will forever leave its awe-inspiring mark on me. The characters were truly incredible and totally unforgettable, and the emotions are so real, I swear they jump right off the page and sear themselves into your very soul. You can’t run away because your heart has a strong and unbreakable connection to this epic storyline. What an unbelievable rush!
Blair Babylon is an epicly phenomenal author! I know I have said this many times, but it is so completely and honestly true. There is nothing that this author can write that will not touch you in a major way. Her stories reach into your heart, your mind, and your soul, and they ingrain themselves so deeply that you do not walk away the same. These words will mold and reshape you in ways that you never imagined, and I hope that you will give this author’s books a chance. I guarantee you that you will walk away with a new appreciate for the extraordinary literary gifts that she pours from her heart and soul.
Rae is in trouble. She is losing her precious college scholarship due to failing an impossibly hard statistics class. Her beautiful dreams of opening a clinic for autistic kids are crumbling around her. The only thing left for her to do is to go home and surrender to the hollow and lifeless future that is callously staring back at her. Everyone told her that she was nothing, and maybe they were right. However, her friends Georgie and Lizzy convince her that she has one last chance left to pursue her dream. What and who they introduce her to will literally change her life forever. What she needs now is the courage and the strength to move forward one step at a time. Will Rae be able to walk into an unknown and unfamiliar future, or will she let her fear send her back home resigned to her miserable fate?

The Dirtiest Things
When I first read the title I wasn't sure how dirty to think but right from the start things got dirty and I mean quick! All forms of dirty. This is a fun and hot story and I rally hope you enjoy it as much as I did

I haven't read the whole thing yet. But man is this an awesome anthology. Lots of new to me authors and a few I know and love! And talk about one great story after another.
I like how the authors have worked this. Due to space restrictions for publishing vs cost, there are a number who have put in a few chapters of their story and then attached a link to send you off for the rest of it...for free. Amazing. I have actually encountered this before, but you have to buy it at full price (yup, not even getting a deal). Not with this one though. Truly giving of these authors.
Storm
Hot beginning. The Prologue was intense and the anticipation as I continued to read grew. Raylin is a strong, resourceful woman who can trust no one, where Storm is one handful of sexy man who also trusts no one. The heat between the two...OMG (fans self) I just couldn't put it down. I loved the story. Suspense draws the reader in and keeps you in!
Surviving Broken
Rip your heart out, stomp on it and make you cry. What a start....and it just got better. JC is something else, strong, independent and so vulnerable. Reed swam into her life when she was building herself back up after a terrible relationship. I haven't cried so much during a story in forever. And laugh - Wow. Such a mix of emotions. This was a great story and I'm sad that it is finished, but now I have time to grab a tissue and dry my happy tears.
Finding Allie
This is a quick peek into the life of Allie. All she wants is to go to LA and live with her sister. For some reason her stepdad won't let her go so she squirrels away what little money she can from working in his bar. Along comes a biker gang and Allie's life changes. Chase is part of the gang and doesn't want to be. The attraction between them is immediate and hot! Quick read and there are two more parts to this trilogy. Such a great start to it!
Rae Falling
Thus begins another fantastic series by Blair Babylon. Wow, I love Rae. She is amazing. She takes life in stride, works hard for what she's got and doesn't have the support of her family. Her friends from college are more supportive of her goals and dreams than her family is. Then it all goes sideways for Rae and she loses her scholarship, which means she'll have to go home and suffer with her family...because of her family. Georgie & Lizzie introduce Rae to the Devilhouse and Wulf. Here begins the adventure of Rae's life! To Domme or not to Domme, yup! That is the question. Witty, sexy and full of fun. An enjoyable read - takes your mind off the old hum drum life!
And yes, that is as far as I have managed to get! I am excited to read more. Hopefully I'll be able to add to this post once I've completed the lot.

REVIEW
At this time, I am putting my review of two books in this set. In time, I hope to read and add more to my review. I am sure each story is fantastic, as I have read some books from some of the authors in this set.
Jo Raven ~ Storm ~
Wow this book is sizzling hot. We get Raylin who is on the run from someone wanting to kill her. She ends up in hot and sunny Florida where she meets the sexy tatted guy Storm.
Storm is also on the run so maybe that is why he is so drawn to Raylin?
This couple is drawn to each other. And when the sparks fly so does everything else.
I hope to read more books in this series.
Billionaires in Disguise: Rae by Blair Babylon
I enjoyed the story of Wulf and Rae. Rae is a country girl who is going to college but is down on her luck when her scholarship is taken away. Her friends Georgie and Lizzy hook her up with the Doms place. When Rae first goes to the club, she doesn't meet the boss or does she? Rae is a dominant and she proves it by pushing a sexy blonde haired guy up against the wall and rocks his world.
When Rae finds out that, the Dom and her Wulf are one in the same everything changes for this couple. So many past secrets threaten to tear them apart. And one night of no protection may end it all.
I was gifted this book for my honest review.

SUSPENSE & SIZZLING ROMANCE
LEASE ON LOVE (Snow Kissed Love #2) by Violet Vaughn;
This titillating tale is about Lori & Kaleb and is filled with explosive passion, jealousy, emotional ups and downs, suspense, and true friendships male and female. The witty banter, intriguing plot and fiery sensual romance capture and hold your attention. There are quite a few challenges to conquer before the happy ending making this a most exhilarating read.
Lori’s abusive ice skating coach has left her with inner scars of the past. Moving to Colorado to be a ski instructor is the start of a new life for her. She is sexy, sweet, makes friends easily, and enjoys her job teaching children to ski. Kaleb, an expert snowboarder, and skier is also an instructor where Lori works. Kaleb is heart-stirring gorgeous, a gentle giant, compassionate, and extremely respectful of the opposite sex, learning from his sisters. A romance flourishes between Lori and Kaleb but her past threatens to tear them apart. Unbeknownst to Lori horrific danger lurks in the shadows and is coming after her with a vengeance.
This roller coaster story is fast-paced and wonderfully written. The fusion of reality and fantasy make this a most impressive read. The characters come alive with breathtaking scene descriptions, humor, and action keeping you glued until the end. The chemistry between Lori and Kaleb is strong and their relationship is filled with trust, devotion, and fiery passion. Kaleb gave Lori inner strength, made her feel worthy, and in the end, she is a most valiant heroine. The author shows that though terrible things do happen you need to let go of the past to have a fulfilling future. I absolutely loved this story, a most gratifying read. If you treasure fantasy romance this is definitely a fantastic set for your library. I was gifted this book, and this is my honest review}. In the world of fantasy romance, the magic begins with the first thought to paper. Without reservations, I highly recommend this set.

This was a waste of my time.
This book was really a waste of my time. I like to read the whole book at one time. Is that asking to much?

Sarah Cradit The Storm and The Darkness that is included in this box set it was AMAZING!! The fire between Anna and Flynn is off the chart as they brave the storm and other things that go bump in the night. Anna is like everyone else and neither is Flynn. When things get out of hand everything goes south fast.
Felicia Tatum Anxious Hearts - This author writes a heart wrenching tale of finding love in un-imagined places. To souls that have been through so much and although thrown together by crazy circumstances it's time to prove that love can conquer all. But first he has to convince her it is worth it. I love the characters in her books. They come alive and draw you in and just whip your emotions all over the place. Amazing read you have to add to your need to read stack.
Great reads, if this is a sample of what the other stories hold this set will be off the charts

What a great deal!!!
16 stories from wonderful authors! I'll only need wine and a comfy place to read!
Blair Babylon's Billionaires in Disguise: Rae
So, so much more than just a Cinderella story.
This story is one of the first stories that got me hooked on sexy Billionaires. This has the right element of sexy, dreamy and decadent (it's inevitable, especially if the hero is known as The Dom).
Aside from the sexy and mysterious hero, who intends on granting all of Rae's wishes and making her dreams come true, Rae is the other factor that made this story one of my favorite re-reads. She's loyal, strong and hardworking. She may be working for the Dom, but she's no Sub!
I could list down more and more wonderful reasons I love this series and never grow tired of reading it, but it all boils down to one thing: This series is a must-read!

Partial Review - The Spy Who Left Me, by Gina Robinson
I LOVED this book and couldn't put it down until I'd finished it. Ty was so adorable with Treflee when he was trying to win her back, although it was completely understandable why Treflee felt the way she did towards him after all of the stress he had put her through with his job. It's hard to keep a marriage going when your husband is always off in parts unknown, after all. But it was clear that Ty still loved Treflee, and she still loved him, and that they could make it work if they really tried. There were some really funny parts that made me laugh, and enough action to keep me on the edge of my seat. I was very happy with how things turned out for them.

Wow. Reading through the list of authors in this book, every single one is so talented. For example, the story by Blair Babylon is one of my favorites. The story of Rae and Wulf is a love story so special and strong, I could not put it down. Annie Winters, The Vigilante' Lover about someone who innocently writes and falls for a guy in prison. What happens when he escapes and wants to be with her? Again, another great story. Jo Raven, Lacey Silks and Meli Raine..I have read all of these books and separately they were five star reads for me. Hands down, one of the best combination of stories I have seen.
