Ricochet
by Kris Norris
Genre: Erotic Romance






An unlucky rebound has left US Marshal Ashton Kane broken. His partner’s dead and, consumed by guilt, he’s walked out on the only woman he’ll ever love.

A love she can’t forget…

Cassidy Ryan has tried to move on. Losing the love of her life cut deep, but she vowed she wouldn’t let it break her. And she’s finally taking back her life—until she stumbles upon a deadly encounter that threatens to destroy everything and everyone around her.

One last chance at redemption…

Ash has fooled himself into believing Cassidy’s better off without him—until she puts her life on the line, forcing him to face the demons that still whisper in the dark—or risk losing her. Again. Only this time, it’ll be no one’s fault, but his.

My Review:
I read this in one sitting. It was extremely fast paced and riveting. I had to know what would happen next.
I love Cassidy and Ash. They both had been through a lot. There was a lot of healing that had to be done but they really belonged together.
I really loved how playful and dominating Ash was towards Cass. He wasn't overtly dominating but he was very protective and would let Cass hide away from him.
This was an extremely hot and exciting read. I definitely plan on grabbing more from this author.















Author, single mother, slave to chaos—she’s a jack-of-all-trades who’s constantly looking for her ever elusive clone.
Kris started writing some years back, and it took her a while to realize she wasn’t destined for the padded room, and that the voices chattering away in her head were really other characters trying to take shape—and since they weren’t telling her to conquer the human race, she went with it. Though she supposes if they had...insert evil laugh.
Kris loves writing erotic novels. She loves heroines who kick butt, heroes who are larger than life and sizzling sex scenes that leave you feeling just a bit breathless.








Mated

by Gwendolyn Cease

Genre: Paranormal Romance






Laira Marshall had to admit—getting kidnapped wasn’t something she’d expected. Discovering her kidnappers were aliens who planned on selling her into sexual slavery, definitely tipped the scales into the truly bizarre. But she’s determined to fight her way through this—until their slave ship is attacked, and Laira’s faced with an entirely new problem.

Rakin and Dev were the leaders of the Sandaki—a race genetically engineered to fight. Using their enhanced traits, they’ve freed their people and have devoted their lives to seeking out those who enslaved them. They never considered the concept of love—or that one woman could bring them to their knees.

With unknown enemies working against them, the three lovers must come together not only to save themselves, but the Sandaki race itself.

My Review:
This was a pretty fast paced book. With lots of humor and some action.
I really liked Laila. Even with everything that happened to her she never acted like a victim. She stayed strong and never stopped fighting. I liked that she helped the other women realize that they weren't slaves and could fight back too.
Rakin and Dev were awesome. Very alpha male and hot! I loved the chemistry between them all. 
Overall it was a good read. Some moments were a little over the top but it was still an interesting book.









Gwendolyn Cease has been writing ever since she was old enough to pick up a pen. From the very beginning, her stories involved handsome heroes, tough heroines, and happily ever after. Even as she slogged through two undergraduate degrees and a master’s in education, writing remained top priority. Though she now works full-time as a history museum educator, she still makes time for her characters and their never-ending adventures.

Currently, Gwendolyn lives in Kentucky with her incredibly spoiled cats. If you’d like to contact her, she’d love to hear from you. She loves to hear from anyone who enjoys a good book, especially the ones she’s written. You can email her at gwendolyncease@insightbb.com.

My Review:
I had an extremely hard time putting this one down! It was so captivating and emotional. It is book 2 in the series but works fine as a stand-alone. It explains enough of book 1 that you won't be lost reading them out of order.
This was a very heart-wrenching read. I knew that this was going to be a second chance romance but it was really hard to read about them splitting up. I could understand the reasoning behind it though. It was an amazing story and very believable.
I loved both the characters. I really felt for Kara and I liked that she was able to become a super strong woman away from Riley. They were both really able to grow as people by being away from each other.
I love Riley too. How dominating and possessive he is. Even though they were divorced he still thought of Kara as his wife. I found that endearing. Most of the time I wouldn't because their divorced but those two really did belong together. They are extremely hot together and fit each other well.
I'm excited to read the rest of the series with the other characters. They were very fun. I especially love Kara's elderly neighbor. She was a riot!
I really look forward to getting the next book and reading the other series with the Regulators MC.

Review& Tour: His Wicked Celtic Kiss by Karyn Gerrard



His Wicked Celtic Kiss
by Karyn Gerrard
Tour Organizer: NK Author Services




It took just one teasing wink and a sexy Irish lilt from bad boy Lorcan Byrne to turn Julie Denison’s world upside down. The problem is, he’s only in town for six months, and happily ever after isn’t in this world traveler’s vocabulary.
Julie’s worked hard to get her life in a good place—dropping substantial weight and getting a great job at her friend’s bakery. But this handsome charmer is just as tempting as any of the decadent pastries she sells, and she can’t resist his advances for long. Julie fully expects Lorcan to break her heart—but she’s planning to enjoy every second she can of their explosive chemistry.
After years of danger as a soldier and a spy, Lorcan fled to tiny Rockland, Maryland for some boring downtime. He didn’t count on meeting someone who could ignite his libido and soothe his damaged heart, and their passion soon leads to deeper feelings. But can Julie convince Lorcan he has more to offer her than just his wicked Celtic kiss?

My Review:
I didn't know going into this one that this was book 2 in a series. But this can be read as a stand-alone with no problems. It refers back to some stuff in book 1 but not enough that I felt I was missing the story. That being said I totally plan on going back and reading it. I would love to get the beginning of Lorcan and Julie's story.
This was a very captivating and heartbreaking at times story. I was enthralled in it and read it in one sitting.
Julie is very relatable. She has a lot of insecurities but shes trying to fight past them. I love her humor too. 
Lorcan is just devastating. I was intrigued by him from the start and with every piece of his past that was revealed I just fell for him more. He's an extremely sweet guy. He was very closed off but you can't help but be drawn to him. At times he could be overly cocky and he definitely has a lot of demons from his past. But he has all these layers to break through to get to the real him.
I do hope to read more from this author in the future. I really felt for her characters and was drawn in to the story. I didn't want it to end.
