Blurb/Summary:

Steve Chambers's supremacy as top diver has never been challenged until now. Not only has he been beat out for the week by a rookie diver, it turns out Rodriguez is a she. Adding injury to insult, he’s paired with her to fix the submerged diving station they use for treasure recovery.

Maria Rodriguez has had to beat every man she’s worked with, just to gain a semblance of equality. Her impoverished family relies on her to make enough money to support them as well as her, and to do that, second best is not acceptable. Beating Chambers was the hardest challenge she’s ever done.

Confined in a diving station at 150 feet below the surface, in arctic waters, the rivals work hard to repair the oxygen lines to the damaged station before it bleeds out. And even harder to one-up the other. The fire of their passionate rivalry blends with their undeniable sexual attraction until it explodes in fiery lust. But can they set aside their egos long enough to realize that together, they make a perfect team?

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: anal play/intercourse.

Review:

Depth Charge by Brindle Chase was a smoking hot read. Maria the heroine comes from a country where the only wealth accumulated is with hardened drug dealers who take from the community and don’t give back to the people. In an effort to save her family she uses her body, brains and talent to gain positions in various tourist attractions. She is a feisty woman and sensual as all get out.

Seth is used to being numero uno. When a slip of a woman gains the edge and knocks him off his longstanding pedestal he is surprised. More than that he is attracted to the young lady in ways he shouldn’t be. Trouble at their station provides them the perfect opportunity to get to know one another while working on fixing the system. Only mother nature, a ticking clock and monsters beneath the deep blue sea stand in their way. I enjoyed this story and the outcome. The setting for treasure hunting was a pleasure. The only question that stemmed for me throughout the read was the lack of nourishment or water while down under. I will be reading it again on a cold day. The fire they burn will definitely warm me up while reading.

Blurb/Summary:

Taryn Blaze is the reigning queen of rock-n-roll. An ultimate diva who's never been refused anything or anyone--until the hunky security guard doesn't show at the prescribed time, dressed in the white silk boxers her assistant had delivered to him. Outraged, Taryn does what she always does when she doesn't get her way--she throws a tantrum.

Derek Abrahms, a locally hired security guard, is thrilled when Taryn notices him, but instead of recognizing him from her past, she orders him to her hotel room for a night of lusty passion. Determined to teach the diva a lesson, he does what no man has ever done before--he denies the goddess.

When Taryn unleashes her prima dona temper, can Derek remind her of the sweet girl she once was? Or is his Diva-Licious just too wild to tame?

Review:

Taryn was one Diva-Licious broad. In fact I’m not so sure I liked her in the beginning. But I loved Derek from the get go, his personality was the perfect offset to bring that diva down a peg or two and remind her how to treat others. I swear I thought she was going to go ape shit when her wishes weren’t granted, and went back twice to reread her response at being rejected.

Had I known it would bother her on a more emotional level right then, I would’ve sympathized, but I didn’t.

I really enjoyed Derek and his moral code of ethics. It’s great to see a man work hard to get what he wants in life, instead of finding an easy way. Makes what was achieved more substantial. His long time crush on his diva was splendid and he sure knew how to handle her right, to show her the girl he once remembered, the one he fell in love with all those years ago.

I was truly tickled by this read and simply loved it, heroine included.

Blurb/Summary:

It was just a fling. Lilith Templeton had no clue he was a human agent working for the angels. No big deal, but she got caught and Mother Superior, Portland’s most powerful angel, wants penance. Or death, Lilith’s choice. Being a lowly half-demon and therefore not a participant in the never-ending war for souls, she knows it's insane to cross the full-blood demons like Mother Superior wants. But opting out isn't an option: do or die. For additional penance, she's paired with an angel who not only ignites her lust but something more. Lilith wants to fall in love, to know what it was like to share herself with just one man. Yet since succubi needed to stay sexually satisfied, falling in love with the angel of chastity is a mistake she can’t afford.

Gabriel would have never second-guessed his choice to ascend through the virtue of chastity. Until he meets Lilith. Now, his ascension would be forfeit if he cannot vanquish his need for her. Having no choice but to ignore the fire burning inside them, they work towards tempting the demon cult’s human leader into revealing the hideout. Lilith, sexually irresistible half-succubus, is the perfect bait. Get in, send the signal and wait for the angel to rescue her. Oh and not get killed, or tempt the angel. Simple, right?

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content and graphic language.

Review:

Gothic City Lights is a different spin on a story with demons and angels. Lilith is a half-demon who survives on sex, or she becomes out of control. People look down at her.

When she works with Gabriel, she can't help but want him too, but she also starts feeling things for him she's never felt before. Those feelings start to change her, and make her think a little differently, despite who she is.

This is a dark paranormal with plenty of sexual scenes and vulgar language, and I enjoyed this. The plot line had unique elements and the fast pace kept me reading.

If readers are looking for something a little different, then try Brindle Chase's Gothic City Lights. This is a first time read for me by this author, and I am very interested in what else this writer has to offer.
