Surrendering to My Spy (Linked Across Time #4)

synopsis

Lady Rosanna Kendall’s heart was broken when the one man she’d always loved told her he’d never marry, and even if he did she’d be his last choice. Shortly afterwards her eldest brother died in a freak accident sending her into mourning. During that time she picked up the tattered remains of her heart and hardened it. One day she’d marry and have a family of her own; however, love would be the last thing she’d expect to find.

Lord Dominic Rossington, the Marquess of Seabrook worked diligently as a spy for the war office. He led a dangerous life that had no place for a wife or family. He couldn’t in good conscience encourage Lady Rosanna—even if she was his greatest desire. Years later Dominic sees a way to free himself of his obligations to the crown and finally claim the one woman he’s always wanted. All he has to do is complete one last mission and convince her she’s the only one for him.

Can they both survive his dangerous life long enough to find their happily-ever-after?

angies review

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

EEEP!!  Dom.  I was kinda feeling him in Alys and James book so to FINALLY read his book…..yupers I am super happy.  I mean he is sooo cocky, arrogant, cocky, loyal, cocky, and funny.  How can you pass up a cocky hero who is also a *GASP* SPY for the Kings Crown??  Yeah peps we find out a lot about what happened the Edward that left James holding the Dukedom after his brother’s death.  We also find out that his flirting with Rose is not just him being silly but his real feelings coming to the front.

Rose has loved Dom for her entire life.  But one night words are said out of hurt and that forever changed their friendship.  Dom used it to help “keep her safe” while Rose used it to “push him out of her heart”.  Well friends, once Dom gets his release papers he runs to the one woman he has loved for his entire life.

The story is full of espionage and mystery but also full of humor.  I flipping LOVE Alys.  She is a great mentor for Rose to bounce ideas off of *snickers*  We see our two characters so in love and hurting so much because they can’t be together.  I loved this story the best in the series.  Dom and Rose were a great match and wonderful story.  I cant wait to read the next story in the series.

about the author

Dawn Brower works as a substitute teacher and enjoys the flexibility it gives her to concentrate on her other endeavors.

Growing up she was the only girl out of six children. She is a single mother of two teenage boys; there is never a dull moment in her life. Reading books is her favorite hobby. While she loves all genres she focuses most of her writing on historical and contemporary romance.

There are always stories inside her head; she just never thought she could make them come to life. That creativity has finally found an outlet.

The war vet bodyguard. The Hollywood starlet. An unexpected threat at the biggest charity event of the year. Can Jason set aside his demons to save Savannah’s life, or will his past get the best of him?

FORBIDDEN ATTRACTION – CA Harms
Maybe it was the adrenaline, the pure excitement from the fight that had me thinking of things I shouldn’t. All I knew was never before had something that was wrong, felt so right.

FORBIDDEN – KL Kreig
There are two of them and one of me. And an irresistible lure between us that is expressly forbidden. Has the gluttony of Vegas distorted our judgment or could there be something else bigger at play?

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS – Alison Bliss
Brick Davenport is the quintessential billionaire badboy. He’s also my ex-fiance and the man who taught me the first rule of business–always protect your assets. On New Year’s Eve in Vegas, I’ll have to do just that, because Brick’s on a mission…for my heart.

Love like there’s no midnight.

F*ck like there’s no sunrise.

DICED – Ginger Scott
The last time Mia Stone saw Jamie Augusthill, he was being hauled away from her father’s five-star restaurant in handcuffs. Now, the supposed “new man, still brilliant chef” is standing in HER kitchen. Worse yet, he’s the only person who can pull off this impossible New Year’s Eve feast. He’s also the only man to ever break her heart.

BLINK – Molly McLain
I took her for granted and she walked out of my life. Now, two months later, she’s back…on another man’s arm. I never expected I’d spend New Year’s Eve without her, and I’ll be damned if she gives that midnight kiss to anyone but me. After all, she’s my wife.

A WILD CHASE – BB Reid
Mila Hunt has a big problem, and his name is Chase James. The arrogant asshole happens to be her boss, and after an embarrassing mistake at a gala, he decides her punishment should fit the crime. What he has in store for her she never thought she wanted, but she could never say no to him either…

Sebastian Miles in a man with a plan. Recently married, he’s been on tour with his band, Paradox, for the last four months, leaving his young wife, Brooke, alone at home. He has thirty-six hours before heading back out on the road; plenty of time to fly off to Vegas and prove to her he’s still the same romantic guy she fell in love with. The stakes are high, but he’s up for the adventure. After all… What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Right?

A POWERS PLAY (A POWERS THAT BE SHORT) – Harper Bentley
Gable Powers had loved keeping me off-balance from the moment we met—dirty words whispered in my ear that made me tremble, a spectacular tattooed body that had my own craving his, a secret revealed that only made me love him more.

Goodreads

Amazon

This review is for Alison Bliss, Lacey Black, KL Kreig and Winter Travers

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Craved – Lacey Black

This is my first story from this author but holy hotness!! I need to read the other two books in the series like TODAY.  Its serious one click time.  This is a novella in the series but you don’t need to read the other books for the story.

Essentially Tara and Scott have loved each other from afar because they can’t cross THAT line.  She is his boss’ little sister.  Well it seems big brother and his woman can see the chemistry and manage to get the two together for a function.  The sparks are flying and the scenes are HAWT!!  If you want a quick and sexy read that leaves you wanting more…this story will do nicely.

Close Encounters – Alison Bliss

I love me some Alison Bliss.  I am a huge fan of her snarky and sassy female characters plus over the top alpha males.

Addy and Brick’s love story has hit a big bump in the name of an affair.  Seems Addy caught Brick being a not so good fiancée or is she reading it all wrong???

Brick and Addy are seeing each other for the 1st time in 2 weeks..and that is also the time when she called off their engagement.  They are both at a black-tie event.  The story is full of angst and stress.  WE need to know what happened and why Addy left her heart with the ring that day.  Brick is not oing to let his woman go without finding out what happened and even then, he is going to end up with her again no matter what the cost.

Taking Greer – Winter Travers

AHHH first time to read this author and totally not the last read that is for dang sure!!

Holy hotness!!  Again this is a new to me author and I am one clicking like nobody’s business!!  This story was super hawt.  Greer and Apollo have known each toher for 12 years and Apollo has loved her for as long as he can remember.  Greer is the sweet and innocent to his underground criminal.  Once he sees her in her green dress and shoes..all bets are off and he will take what he has always desired for the night and forever.

Forbidden by KL Kreig

Shut the front door! I. Love. This. Author!!!  I mean there hasn’t been anything less than stellar from her in my opinion.  Even a short story is nailed right outta the park!

This book contains characters from the new book the author will be releasing in January 2017 so if you like…and seriously how can you not like what you will be reading when its all about Sin City, Hawt alpha men and a wild threesome.  I mean so I even need to say anything else???

Let’s just say I can’t wait to meet Willow, Shaw and Noah very very soon!!!

She reviewed the entire book

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book

Let me say I love Anthologies because you get to read some of your favorite authors and you get introduced to new ones, that being said here we go! All of these stories take place in Vegas, where a charity fight and dinner for VetSports happening. Each story is a short glimpse into a couples life.

Rock in’ the Suite by Rhonda James
Sebastian is part of a rock group that traveling, his wife Brooke is a chef who is covering for her sick boss by traveling and checking up on all his restaurants.
Being apart is killer so they’re meeting for a weekend in Vegas.
Now, this is a new author for me but the anthology did its job and made me want to know more.
Sebastian is not only a sexy rockstar, but one HOT has hell sexter too, he should give lessons!!
And Brooke sounds like a girl that doesn’t take shit from anyone, and just wants time with her sexy hubby.
Loved this little glimpse into their world and I will be one clicking to get to see how it all began.

The Main Event by Sapphire Knight
Gavin is a UFC fighter in a championship match and Aria is is girl.
What could be better than HOT fighters and mobsters? Nothing!!
It seems to be that Gavin is one of those men that are tough as nails, but is a softy where the love of their woman is concerned.
As you will be able to see with the surprise he has planned for her.
Aria is definitely a stand by your man woman and loves him with all her heart.
It seems that there is a lot that these too have been through and they have major love for each other.
Yep, I’ll be looking into more of Sapphire Knight’s UFC world!

Duet (Rockstar 8.5) Anne Mericer
Hello rockstars! I love a good rocker book and when the rocker is female it makes it even better almost.
Sera is in the band Blush and her hubby Cage is a producer and manager of another band called Falling Down.
Seeing glimpses of established couples is great and if done right it makes you want to see how they got together. This little baby did its job! Sera and Cage are hot as heck and this is another author that I will be adding to the tbr list!

As the Tide Turns by BT Urruela
Savannah is a Academy Award winning movie star, MMA loving girl, and a major donor and ambassador for VetSports. Jason is former military and her bodyguard.
Now, these two are not a established couple, however you can see the attraction right away. He plays by the rules and keeps them firmly in a business relationship.
She is flirty and fun and she has to fire him before he’ll let anything happen. There’s major drama in the story and it makes me wanna learn more about the author to see if there is more of Jason and Savannah. New Year’s Eve is heating up!

A Powers Play (The Powers that be 1.5) by Harper Bentley
Gable and Scout are couple in Vegas for New Year’s Eve and the fights!
Wowza! Gambling, fights, hotness, add in a crazy ex and what’s not to like!! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a hotter count down to New Years’s than this.

Craved (Bound Together 2.5) Lacey Black
So, Tara has been in love with her brother’s friend Scott forever it seems. Scott has felt the same way, but has stayed away because he didn’t want to ruin his friendship and he wasn’t sure that he wouldn’t screw a relationship up.
Tara’s brother and his wife a sneaky helping get the two together.
When they do get together they don’t need the New Years Eve fireworks, they make their own!!

Diced by Ginger Scott
We all know how hot it can it to on the kitchen, well this story kicks it up a few degrees.
Mia Thomas is trying to the the restaurant at MGM hers, this New Years Ev Charity gala is her chance.
When her souls- chef quits on her she calls her ex Jamie Augusthill to help her out.
There are things that she didn’t know and it all comes out here.
Love second chance stories and bad boys who make good. I’ve read Ginger Scott before but I enjoyed this little taste of her.

Tempted Times Three by M. Never
Jenn, Chase, and Shane are hot as hell!!
This story starts at the fights, but ends up at their hotel when the guys wanna surprise their girl.
Seeing all these stories melding on one universe is awesome and this triad does a awesome job at ringing in the New Year.
Not only do we have this story about Jenn and her men, we also have a tease with their friend Ty.
This is another one that has done it job and got me curious about how these people got together.

Freeing His Dark Edges (A Dark Edges short story) by Kane Caldwell
Oh wow! Chase and Naomi’s story starts at Christmas. It’s such a sweet story, Naomi got him tickets to the fight and gala for Christmas. The love that these two have for each other is very apparent as soon as you see them on the page.
It’s a short story but one filled with lots of love.

Forbidden Attraction by CA Harms
Gage and Shay have danced around each other for years. He works for her father and no matter how much he wants her she is off limits. Shay has done everything to try on worn her way under the armor Gage wears.
You can really tell that they have had enough and they are going to be together no matter the circumstances. And I really would like to be a fly on the wall when they tell her dad. This was another new author for me and I really enjoyed it.

Forbidden by KL Kerig
Holy hotness!!!! Kerig introduces two new characters in a Big way with this one!
Willow, Shaw, and Shaw’s best friend Noah are in Vegas for the fight and Gala.
The hotnesss in this story starts quickly. Willlow and Shaw will melt your face and when you add in Noah it melts your reading device..
You better believe I will be one clicking Shaw and Willow’s story in 2017!

Wild Chase by B.B. Reid
Just about every single woman out there has fantasies about someone, Mila’s just happen to be about her jerk of a boss Chase.
For two years she has worked for him, hated him, and been attracted to him.
They go to Vegas for business and end the trip with pleasure. The sparks with this one are hot. Chase as only been a ass to Mila because he was attracted to her and doesn’t sleep with employees. Will definitely be picking up the next book about Mila’s friend!

Blink by Molly Mclain
Awe, Ian and Lauren’s story is truly a every person’s story. After years of marriage sometimes you become complacent and it takes something outrageous to jerk you to your senses. That is what this story is about, fighting for and finding that love you’ve always had.
It’s a very sweet and to the point story that does a very good job at showing this.

Close Encounters by Alison Bliss
Brick and Addy show us that mistakes happen and makeup sex is HOT!
When Addy brakes things off with Brick it kills her because she still loves him, Seeing him in Vegas just makes it that much harder.
Brick doesn’t know why Addy left him but he figures he’ll give her time to cool off and then go after her.
I so can believe the reason that Addy breaks up with Brick, it happens all the time. I was relieved to see that Brick was just as in love with her and ready to get her back.

Taking Greer by Winter Travers
Mafia guys can be sooooo sexy and that is no lie when you’re talking about Apollo.
Greer has loved him for 12 yrs, Apollo has loved her for just as long but she was a kid and then he got involved in the mafia and just wasn’t good enough for her.
New Year’s Eve, I swear anything can happen on that day. It’s definitely out with the old way of thinking and in with the new.
I love seeing people who have loved each other for years finally give in and go for it. It’s so awesome!!

A Show For…Two? Alllie Juliet Mousseau
Sophie and Josh, they are just cute for words!
Josh is ALL man and you can see that from the get go. Sophie loves her man and is so sweet with the New Year’s Eve surprise she has for him. The elevator scene is a hot one!! I definitely will be one clicking their story to find out how they got together.

This was a anthology that introduced me to lots of new authors. I can’t wait to start one clicking to find out more about the awesome couples I was introduced too with their help.

Now the Agency wants her dead.

Between the lies and the hiding, the woman who turned the CIA upside down with three words brought him to his knees.

And then Allie disappeared… Nothing would ever be the same.

#releaseday – Into Her Fantasy by Angel Payne

Synopsis

She’s the I’ve-Got-This of Happy-Ever-After…until a perfect prince becomes her ultimate fantasy.

He’s just a client…
So Lucy Fava tells herself when arriving on the Island of Arcadia, desperate to save her wedding planning company by securing the year’s biggest bash: a double Cimarron wedding. But first she must impress the man holding the kingdom’s purse strings: Prince Shiraz Cimarron.

Beyond beautiful and unspeakably alpha, the enigmatic male ignites every drop of Lucy’s blood—and a flood of dark, dangerous fantasies. She vows to leave Arcadia as soon as possible, but when Mother Nature grounds her, she can’t resist a taste of her fiery desire for Shiraz.

It’s just a fling…
The words become Lucy’s mantra, even as she discovers the man beneath the three-piece suits, the soul hidden in his perfect body, the lover beyond his regal kisses. The dominant fantasy she’s craved her entire life…

It will change her forever.
When real-life pierces their passionate bubble, Lucy realizes how deeply seduction has become addiction, passion has turned into need…attraction has deepened to love. But Shiraz has promised to be his country’s hero by following through on a loveless marriage, meaning it’s time for Lucy to cut her losses and run. Should be easy. She’s done this a thousand times before.

Only never like this.

Never while cutting out her heart at the same time.

Note: Each book of The Cimarron Series can be read as a stand-alone story, though some readers may enjoy the continuity of secondary characters when reading the books in order. Every novel is a stand-alone story with a happy ending.

Book 3 of the series is the explosive love story of Prince Shiraz Cimarron and headstrong American Lucina Fava…

AboutTheAuthor

Hi there. I’m Angel: book lover, writing addict, hopeless romantic, pop culture geek and avid shoe lover.

A bit about me…

I’ve been hooked on books since I was a kid but it got worse in my twenties, when I discovered romances–the hotter, the better. Growing up in Southern California, with lots of surfer manliness surrounded me, was certainly a good boost for reading about delicious alpha guys and the women who adore them. When I learned I had a knack for telling these stories too, I guess you could say I was doomed–though my path toward romance novelist took a few detours via a concert-reviewing gig for my college newspaper (free show tickets…backstage passes…that was a no-brainer), artist interviews for a Beverly Hills dance music mag, personal assistant work for a record producer, dance club disc jockey, and a lot of fun in the hospitality industry.

These days, I still live in California, and have found an amazing alpha guy of my own who was brave enough to marry me. We live on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with our beautiful daughter. I have the best life ever, and never forget to thank the Big Guy Upstairs for it, either.

Here’s a taste of Devil & Hailee

I decided to be completely up-front with my thoughts. “Are you just after sex here? I mean, if you are, I’m on board with that, but I’d rather know going in what this is rather than thinking it could be more when that’s not what you’re thinking.”

He smiled harder and leant forward so he could kiss me. His lips on mine blazed a line of hunger along my skin. Every inch of me wanted more. And he didn’t disappoint.

Parting my lips, he deepened the kiss, his tongue searching for mine. He took my face in his hands, and his body slid across the lounge towards mine until we were touching.

I wanted to crawl into his lap and never let him end this kiss.

I wanted to rip his shirt off and put my hands all over his body.

God, I wanted to do so many dirty things to him—things I’d never done to another man, but had dreamt of.

“Darlin’,” he rasped, pulling his mouth from mine, which made me want to cry out my disappointment. “We need to stop this now or else I’m not gonna be able to stop. I’d happily fuck you on this lounge if it’s what you wanted, but I doubt it is.”

I took hold of his face. “I need your lips on mine for at least another five minutes, and if you can’t control yourself, that’s on you.” My words came out on a huff of bossy breathlessness, because that’s what a kiss from Devil did to me. I could only imagine what sleeping with him would do. Hell, he might cause me to stop breathing all together.

His eyes widened a fraction before he grinned. “Jesus, you’re something else, woman.”

And then he gave me what I wanted.

And I knew what his answer would be about whether this was just sex or not.

This was never going to just be about sex.

 Melinda's Review

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

What happens when a hot biker is threatened by an ally of the club to stay away from his sister? Oh, that’s right he does what he wants.

Devil is intrigued by a woman protester only to find himself in the back of a cop car with her. He does not back down or give up he keeps pushing until he gets what he wants. Hailee is a strong willed woman she knows what she wants and goes after it no matter what anyone says even family. She has a beautiful soul when she loves she is all in and hangs on. She is not needy and doesn’t complain.

Although Devil is 100% biker and all alpha male he has a kind tender side with it comes to Hailee and family.  Even though Hailee’s brother doesn’t accept the relationship and tries to get Devil to walk away Devil will not be detoured and lets his feelings known.  Devil and Hailee are perfect fit together they are different as night and day but have similarities. When you put them together they are like one they balance each other.

Devil and Hailee’s had instant attraction with chemistry that was explosive from the start. I absolutely loved seeing another side to devil seeing him interact with his niece and nephew was heartwarming. One of my favorites in the book was Hailee’s grandmother, gotta love a woman who says what they want when they want. I enjoyed Devil and Hailee’s story but cannot wait to hear Hyde’s story.  That is going to be a ride.

Melinda's Review

I received a copy of the book for an honest review.

What a great start to a new series by Chelsea Camaron and Ryan Michele. They do a fabulous job of co-writing and telling a great story.

Kinderly has had it rough she lost her father, then her boyfriend crushed her heart, and now she is left to take care of her mother who has checked out since her father’s death. She was in love with Dixon but when she needed him most he chose Ruthless Rebels MC over her.

DJ has proven himself over the years even gave up the only thing that mattered to him for them but now that Kenderly’s world is falling apart he is taking what has always been his.

I absolutely adored Kenderly her big heart, fight, sass, stubbornness, and ability to stand up to anyone was amazing.  She will not go down without a fight no matter what situation she is in. even if it is her and a baseball bat taking on three burly men she will fight to the end to protect herself if need be. Oh and women be warned she will fight for her man and then unleash on those in her path. DJ was amazing too a dick yes but can be a wonderful man when it comes to Kenderly.

This series is going to be great and the men of Ruthless Rebels has me so intrigued I cannot wait to get to know them all. Shamus is next and I have a feeling his will be a great ride with just as strong a woman for him to go after.

How many times can a heart be broken?

Mine has been broken twice.

My mother, Sofie Davidson, formally Sofie Brighton, always said that losing a spouse from death was easier than going through a divorce. She ought to know, she’d been through both. The divorce from my stepfather two years ago had been devastating to my mother. Oliver Davidson had raised me from the time I was six as if I’d been his own daughter. But their divorce didn’t break my heart. To my mother’s dismay, Oliver was still in my life, still playing the role of doting father. He even walked me down the aisle today when I got married with my mother flanking my other arm.

My father, Pierce Brighton, had died when I was four. Some freak accident that my mother never wanted to talk about. That was a dark day. My mother stood at the front door crying while two policemen politely tipped their hats, saying how sorry they were for her loss. The rest of the conversation is jumbled in my head. All I remember or understood at the time was that my daddy wasn’t coming home anymore. That was the first time my heart had been broken wide open.

I squeezed my eyes shut as I thought back to that day wishing he could have been here with me now. But in truth, I couldn’t have asked for a better father than Oliver has been. That was in the past. Today was my future. Then I took a deep cleansing breath, embracing the new life I was about to partake. The ceremony had turned out perfectly. Sprinkles of rose pedals flanked each side of the aisle as we approached the archway where Craig stood with all his entourage of best friends. Along with his best man, Joel, there were five groomsmen standing by, which meant I had five bridesmaids in addition to my maid of honor, Lissa. I didn’t really have that many best friends. Two would have been my choice, Kristen and Lissa, but Craig had insisted we have his six good buddies in the wedding. I’d asked a couple of the girls from the restaurant I’d managed along with his two sisters. It turned out to be just right. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect ceremony. Craig looked gorgeous in his dark tux. He wore a white rose on his lapel and his light brown hair was combed back away from his face instead of hanging down over his forehead like it normally did, partially shielding his beautiful blue eyes, which sparkled with love today. Or maybe it was lust. I had t admit I’d been feeling a little lusty myself when I’d seen him standing there as I walked down the aisle and the way he’d grinned during the ceremony I had to hope he was thinking of what he’d be doing later. He looked amazing.

The reception hall exploded with music, food, and laughter. Twenty tables, each graced with white rose bouquet center pieces, circled the dance floor where Craig and I’d just finished all the customary dances. I’d danced with Oliver, while Craig had danced with his mother. Shortly after that, Craig excused himself, kissed me on the cheek and took off toward a group of his buddies he’d gone to college with. I watched him walk. His cool swagger ignited a heat within my core. He was gorgeous. He was mine. All six-foot two inches of taut muscle and smooth flesh. All mine. Lust aroused as I thought about what the evening had in store for us. When he reached the guys, he took the shot glass one of them held out, filled with something I assumed was Jack Daniels.

A fast tune blared from the speakers as the D-Jay stood behind a large black console pushing buttons on his equipment. Couples danced, mostly women bopping to the beat with each other as their husbands, boyfriends, or dates stood around drinking beer or cocktails solving all the problems of the world.

“Grace! Come on. You can’t miss this. It’s your wedding.” Kristen grabbed my arm and tugged me into the line dance that had quickly formed in the middle of the room. Her soft green gown flowed over the floor along with her and I giggled trying my best to keep up. Line dancing wasn’t exactly my strong suit. I managed a restaurant and bar, or had until I’d met Craig. I’d always been the one standing back watching all the fun from the other side of the bar. Until that night he walked through the room. His eyes caught mine. He smirked then proceeded to ignore me for an hour. I only knew he was ignoring me because I couldn’t stop glancing over at the table where he sat with his back to me while he laughed and joked with his friends. It was almost an hour to the minute before he came up to the bar and asked what time I got off work. I’d been completely taken by surprise. Here was this gorgeous man who could probably have had any woman in the entire bar—of which there were at least half a dozen beautiful ladies milling about—and he was asking me what time I finished. I’d taken a step back, unsure he was even speaking to me. To this day, I still wonder what it was about me that attracted him to me that night. I hadn’t exactly been dressed with the intention of attracting a guy, especially someone like Craig. I had very little make-up on and my hair hadn’t been washed for three days. In fact, I’d had to pull it back into a pony tail just to make it through another day before shampooing again. My hair was waist long and took forever to dry and style.

When I didn’t answer Craig right away, he’d asked again. I stammered a bit, but then found my voice and told him seven-thirty. He then informed me that he’d be waiting for me at the front door because he was taking me to dinner. I thought for sure he’d just been kidding around, but there he was standing at the door at seven-thirty. I hadn’t been in the habit of dating customers, but there was something about Craig that I couldn’t resist.

Kristen grabbed my hand, pulling me out of my reverie. She gave me a, what’s-wrong-with-you look and I realized I’d been so engrossed in my thoughts of Craig that I’d been standing there beside her without moving. “Sorry.” I smiled and began to copy what the other dancers were doing, but as hard as I tried to follow the gal’s steps in front of me, I still messed up. Just as I was beginning to get the turns down, the confusing and exhausting line dance ended. I wrapped my arms around Kristen as we laughed and hugged each other.

“That was nuts,” I proclaimed, holding my hand over my chest trying desperately to catch my breath.

“It would have been easier if you’d moved your feet more in the beginning.” She laughed. “I bet you were daydreaming about Craig, right? I know I would have been. Grace, you just married the most eligible and richest bachelor in this county. You must be ecstatic!”

Not to mention maybe a little overwhelmed, I thought to myself. Then I ran my fingertips down the delicate white lace and pearl gown I wore to smooth it out. I’d found the dress online. At first, my mother had squawked at the idea of purchasing a wedding dress online. She couldn’t imagine not being able to try it on first and she was a little disappointed not to be able to go out shopping for it. She’d always told me that was something she’d been looking forward to since the day I was born. I had assured her though, that no matter what, it could always be altered. When it arrived, all her doubts were forgotten as soon as I lifted it out of the package. It was the most gorgeous gown we’d ever set eyes on. It was sleeveless with scalloped bodice and fell low in the back followed by a line of tiny pearl buttons. The delicate material hugged my rear end, then draped to the floor, fanning out behind me. 

“The wedding was beautiful. And you make the most beautiful bride, Grace. I know Craig has been so utterly enamored by you today,” Kristin said. “He couldn’t keep his eyes off of you during the ceremony.”

And I hadn’t been able to tear mine away from his either. This had been a fairy tale day to be sure. Kristen embraced me then bounced her way back onto the dance floor to join a small group of ladies bopping to the tune of ACDC’s, “You Shook Me All Night Long.” The giddiness building up inside of me, made me want to shout with glee and I couldn’t contain the smile on my face as I went in search of my new husband. New as of about three hours ago. I believed it was time to cut the cake.

Glancing around the large ballroom of the Terra d’Oro for my husband, elated about referring to Craig as my husband, I didn’t spot him anywhere. I strolled across the wooden dance floor and headed for the door to the outside patio, passing decorated tables cluttered with empty and half full glasses of champagne, sidestepping guests with a polite apologetic, I’ll-be-right-back-gesture with my finger, in search of the man I’d be sleeping with every night for the rest of my life. The patio was much like the inside with partially filled glasses of champagne and other mixed cocktails. Oliver hadn’t skimped on the amenities; that was for certain. He hadn’t even made a remark when my mother announced that there had to be an open bar at her only daughter’s wedding. I never had any doubts about Oliver’s love for me. He’d adopted me as his own shortly after he’d married my mom. When they divorced two years ago, he made it quite clear that he would always be a part of my life. That, I was, for all intents and purposes, still his daughter and would always be. So of course, when it came to funding the wedding, he was all in, even though I had assured him that it wasn’t necessary since Craig’s family was essentially wealthy and had offered to fund the event, but Oliver would hear of it.

At least Craig’s parents were pleased with the way the wedding turned out. His parents lived on the Tiburon Peninsula, a ritzy neighborhood in the hills across the bay from San Francisco where the average priced home ranged from one point five million to fifteen million dollars.

I searched around the small gatherings of various guests for Craig, but didn’t see him anywhere. Where was he?

“Gracie,” Joel, Craig’s best man sang my name as he sidled up close to me and draped his arm around my shoulders.

I laughed. “Joel, are you drunk?”

“Nope. But I’m on my way. It’s not every day one of the four Kemosabes gets hitched.” The endearing term used by the four grown men since—I was told—the fourth grade, came out a bit slurred, but most definitely understood. “You’ve stolen him away with your charm and our little private club will never be the same.”

I laughed again. “Trust me; I’ll do my best to make sure Craig always stays close friends with all of you.”

“You better, or I’ll just have to steal you away from him. You’re too good for him anyway.”
“I’ll keep that in mind, but… have you seen Craig? I haven’t been able to find him.”
He pursed his lips together making tiny wrinkles on his lips as he peered over me, his eyes narrowing as he searched the area. “He’s not out here. Last time I saw him he was at the bar with Clancy.”

“Okay thanks,” I said and slipped away before he had a chance to stop me and searched for Clancy, aka Les Clancy, another member of said Kemosabes. Clancy was right where I thought he’d be. Still standing at the bar where I’d seen him last having a shot of something with Craig. But no Craig anywhere in sight. I sighed. I didn’t want to talk to Les, I just wanted my husband.

“Grace!” Kristen caught my arm again. “Come dance.”

“Later. I need to find Craig. Have you seen him?”

She shook her head. “I’m sure he’s around here somewhere. It’s his wedding.” She gave me that silly grin she had when ever she’d been drinking and twirled back onto the dance floor, ignoring me. God, was everyone drunk at this wedding except me? I just hoped Oliver was still okay with having to pay for all the booze that seemed to be slipping way too easily down everyone’s throats. I walked out into the hallway. I might as well take advantage of the time and visit the ladies room, which was all the way down at the other end of the hallway. I passed a couple a closed doors on the way and strolled by one left slightly ajar. I back-stepped as I heard someone moaning. I stopped and heard it again. Thinking someone was ill, I pushed the door all the way open and stared at the two bodies entangled in a frenzied heat.

Melinda's Review

This is an audio review.

The narrators for Inflame me did a fabulous job. I was sucked into this story and listened to it in one day I could not turn it off. The sexual tension in this was off the charts we had the story of Tanner and the man that caught her eye plus a little of her mother and father too. Tanner and her mother find themselves in a bit of trouble and the only one that can help them out is Tanners father. Yeap that’s right a father Tanner knows nothing about. Boy is she in for a shocker. Her mother tells her he is in a MC and she has to go into the club and find him. I have to say when she meets “Bandana man” and “a sexy, scary man? I was cracking up. Since the synopsis doesn’t mention who Cameron Wagner is I’m not either.

Tanner has to learn to trust her father, the brothers and the MC family to protect her and her mother. Can she learn to trust them? Will her and her mother leave as soon as the issues are no more or will they stay with her new family, will “bandana man” and “sexy, scary man” let them leave after they show up on their doorstep or will they convince them to stay?

I stopped breathing when tragedy hit Tanner’s father. I could not believe this was happening after all they been through to find him and get to somewhat know him. To see how ‘sexy, scary man” first reacted to Tanner and how different he was with her than the others was heartwarming. Although as scared as she was of him she wanted to be around him and to see him get jealousy when other men got around her was great. It was amazing how quickly the overbearing protective father side came out in Cameron.

This story line was great and to see the guys and how quickly they accepted Tanner and her mother was amazing. They truly mean it when they say they protect their own. I love it when there is a character introduced to the MC life and see how they react to it. I enjoyed the talks that Princess and Tanner had as well as the conversation Ma and Tanner’s mother had. Tanner was no weak woman she held her own when needed and had just the right amount of sass to her.

The ending of this one OMG all I can say is things are coming to blows in the next book. Way to drop a bomb and then end it making us wait until the next book to see what happens. Great job making me want more. Both narrators did a wonderful job I felt as if I was right there watching everything unfold.
