Pia Saves the Day (Elder Races, #6.6) by Thea Harrison

Pia Saves the Day (Elder Races, #6.6)Pia Saves the Day by Thea Harrison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First of all for the sake of not having to post a spoiler alert.



Jeez! Thea Harrison does it again.

There are no characters that I love more than Pia and Dragos (and Peanut of course). :sighs:
I was not expecting this plot line. I just assumed some longtime enemy of Dragos was going to come out of the woodworks and Pia would save the day. BUT this was so much better



I will say Dragos, in whatever form and in any circumstance, is still Dragos. Can I get an Amen?
The love between Dragos and Pia is so amazing. I have said it before and I'll say it again I'll never get tired of reading about them.

Devil's Game (Reaper's Motorcycle Club) by Joanna Wylde


 Liam “Hunter” Blake hates the Reapers MC. Born and raised a Devil’s Jack, he knows his duty. He’ll defend his club from their oldest enemies—the Reapers—using whatever weapons he can find. But why use force when the Reapers’ president has a daughter who’s alone and vulnerable? Hunter has wanted her from the minute he saw her, and now he has an excuse to take her.

Em has lived her entire life in the shadow of the Reapers. Her overprotective father, Picnic, is the club’s president. The last time she had a boyfriend, Picnic shot him. Now the men in her life are far more interested in keeping her daddy happy than showing her a good time. Then she meets a handsome stranger—a man who isn't afraid to treat her like a real woman. One who isn't afraid of her father. His name is Liam, and he’s The One.

Or so she thinks.

Liam and Em are a match made in Biker Heaven. Em was bad ass! Even though I was rooting for her and Hunter to get together I knew they both had quite a ways to grow (as a couple and as the individuals they were meant to be). Especially, the fact that Liam was used to women throwing themselves at him AND the secret of who his loyalties were to. When it came to Em, that was definitely not going to fly. As Olivia Pope would say,




 I didn't really know what to expect for Liam aka Hunter. I wasn't sure if he was going to be a complete douchebag, prayed that he wasn't, or a relatively good man. Either way I knew I was all for Em, forwards and backwards. Her intelligence, her humor, her innate sensuality (V status or not) and most importantly, her loyalty.



From a previous book you know at some point Em and Sophie get stuck in a Devil's Jack safehouse being held for ransom. No matter what obstacle is put before them they make it through - together.  Its more than obvious Liam and Em were meant to be. Anyone (including Em and Liam) can TRY and get between them, but nothing ever sticks.



I truly enjoyed this book and not just because Em and Liam burned up the pages with sexual tension, but everything about this book was amazing. The tension, the love scenes, the different character interactions, the action, the angst between Em and Liam. I was literally Anna from Frozen.




 Thanks to the RockStar PR team for gifting me with this ARC!

The Professional (Game Maker #1) by Kresley Cole

The Professional (Game Maker, #1)The Professional by Kresley Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I've had this book sitting in my TBR for awhile, not as long as others, but I am so glad that I finally got around to reading it. I am in love with KC's IAD series and I hoped that this series was just as good. And it is! Natalie and Aleksandr almost set my poor laptop ON FIRE. These two had instant chemistry and the vor aspect locked it down. Aleksandr was dangerous, sexy, possessive, determined - and the list goes on. Natalie was perfect. She "bowed" to his demands and showed her @$$ exactly when she should. This story would make an awesome show on either HBO or Showtime. Mafia princess and enforcer, it just begs to be optioned.

Did I mention how smoking hot these two are?




The sauna


The "punishment"


This book is incendiary.

Until Nico (Until #4) by Aurora Rose Reynolds

Until Nico (Until, #4)Until Nico by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am so glad she released this early and that B&N was the first to get it because thank goodness I had a Nook.



Sophie and Nico are like the perfect fit. I don't think I would've been as satisfied if Sweet Sophie was tatted up like Nico. I loved the opposites attract portion. Though, I must say there were times when she tap-danced on my damn nerves with her indecision, fear and her need to run and hide. BUT I had to tell myself to be patient. That was what Nico had, the patience of Job.
A couple times Sophie had me



But when finally things began to fall into place and Sophie stopped acting like she didn't really want Nico.



I've been known to plot a female character's downfall, but this right here....so delicious. Nico knew what he was about from day one. :sighs:



I enjoyed it almost as much as Until November and I cannot wait for more releases from this author.
