~ MINE TO HOLD ~

(Heat Trade Paperback; September 3, 2013; 9780425268193; $16.00),



Tyler Murphy was an LAPD detective, single and happy—until a near-fatal tragedy crippled his friend, fellow detective Eric Catalano. While Tyler supported Eric, he also became a shoulder for Eric’s wife, Delaney, to lean on. But with one naughty suggestion from Eric, a drunken night with Delaney spilled into erotic abandon. Before it was over, Tyler saw his best friend’s wife as a woman and yearned for more. When Eric struggled to deal with the aftermath, Delaney begged Tyler to leave. Crushed, he fled to Louisiana, hoping to escape his longing for the one woman he could never have again…and unaware of what he’d left behind.



After two years of living with regret, Tyler finds Delaney on his doorstep, her husband having abandoned her long ago. She’s protecting a shocking secret and desperately needs refuge from a stalker determined to see her dead. As they fight to stay alive and catch the killer, they struggle to resolve the guilt of their past pleasures. But they can’t deny that what was once a spark is now a flame burning out of control. To possess Delaney—body and soul—Tyler must heal her pain and thwart the evil that’s a mere breath behind her…


~ Our Review ~
5 Star Review by Heather

 
I loved this book.  Just the right amount of mystery, drama and sex.  One minute this book will have you sitting on the edge of your seat biting your nails and the next minute your panties will be melting off!

Delaney, better known as Del, was married to Eric, a cop, and became really good friends with his partner, Tyler.  When an unfortunate event left Eric angry and not sure where his life was going he became a different man.  One night after a decision that changed her and her marriage, she had to fight to survive.  It was a struggle and two years later she found herself on Tyler's doorstep hoping he would forgive her enough to help her. Can she finally overcome the heartache she experienced two years ago?

Tyler was always a man whore, sleeping with anyone that was willing to open her legs for him.  He never had issues with that.  He was also in love with Delaney, but would never cross the line with her because he couldn't betray his best friend and partner.  So after the best night of his life and also the worst he walks away from Delaney and Eric.  He moved outta state and tries to start over.  He never expected to see Del again, but when she shows up on his doorstep he isn't sure if he should be pissed or happy.  Either way he can't leave her hanging.  He has to help her.  Can he finally admit that he loves her?  Will they have a chance to be together for good?

This book was HOT!  You will probably need a spare change of panties while reading this book.  I have yet to read the other books in this series, but I will definitely be doing that.  It is a series, but each can be read as a standalone.  I recommend these books.  I absolutely love Ms. Shayla Black. 

 


~ BOUND AND DETERMINED ~ 

(Heat Trade Paperback; October 1, 2013; 9780425268216; $16.00)



Wanted for Kidnapping: a beautiful blonde with a penchant for trouble. May be armed (with bad intentions) and dangerously seductive…



Kerry Sullivan is running out of time—and patience. With her brother wrongfully accused of embezzling millions, she can’t face one more humiliating hang up from the man she’s begging for help. Rafael Dawson may be one of the top electronic security experts in the country—and the only man who can prove her brother’s innocence—but his phone manners are appalling. Damn Yankee. Too bad kidnapping the man isn’t an option. Or is it?



There’s nothing Kerry wouldn’t do for her brother. There are lots of things she longs to do to Rafe Dawson when he’s lying tied up and naked in Kerry’s secret hideaway. Rafe is certainly something to look at, but her brother’s life is riding on her pulling off the impossible: getting this man who’s always in control to lose it. But when the tables are turned, Kerry finds herself at Rafe’s mercy. And the only way to get her way is to let him have his way—with her.



~ STRIP SEARCH ~ 

(Heat Trade Paperback; November 5, 2013; 9780425268223; $16.00).


The best way to go undercover… is to take it all off. If the Feds want to nail a Mafia kingpin, they need a slick trap to catch him. Enter Mark Sullivan, who’s totally built for the job—to go undercover as a male stripper in the Vegas club where the mobster works. The perk? The club’s owner. Sure she’s got some unsavory connections, but how can anyone with those legs be all bad?



When it comes to business, Nicola DiStefano’s a pro. As for pleasure, she’s been out of commission too long to care. If anyone can strip her of her inhibitions it’s the new guy who’s stirring her wildest G-string fantasies. But Mark and Nicki have more in common than sizzling sexual chemistry. They each have their share of secrets and motives, and with the mob closing in, what gets exposed is as irresistible as it is dangerous.
