Tagline:  Halloween and an abandoned hotel are the lure to a tryst that could prove to be deadly and sexy...

Blurb/Summary:

A haunted and abandoned hotel on Halloween is the setting for a very private party between two lovers, one of them a world-class, sophisticated intelligence operative who’s trying to teach his young and innocent lady that curiosity can sometimes take you places you’d be better not to go. Amid elaborate trappings meant to scare and entice, Rick’s seduction takes some unexpected but wickedly wonderful twists. But, Rick also has a lesson to learn, when his past collides with his present, and almost destroys everything he cherishes most.

Publisher’s Note: This story was originally published in 2004 as Bound, but has been revised and extensively expanded for Ellora’s Cave.

Review:

Reckless Assignation starts out like a wicked horror film.  However, the terror turns to passion as Rick sets up an elaborate play date for his young, inexperienced Cinthya.  The story is a thrilling rollercoaster ride that had me white-knuckling my chair as I read.  It has very appropriately been classified as an erotic thriller.

It’s easy to like this couple.  The reader can tell by the extravagant set up and time that went into orchestrating their liaison, that Rick loves Cindi very much.  Cindi plays along and gives as good as she gets.  Their love making is hot, steamy, and a little bit kinky.  This couple is extremely sexy and likes to play.

As a reader, I was drawn into their world by Denysé Bridger’s wonderful descriptions.  It felt like I was in the old run down hotel.  Quite honestly, I had to stop reading a couple times.  Between the descriptions and my imagination, I scared myself to death.

If you are looking for an erotic thriller then you don’t want to miss out on this story.  Besides being a little scary it is also cute with some plot twists that had me on the edge of my seat.

Blurb/Summary:

When Anya Kane escaped the darkness Virgil Branson was selling her into, she sought help from her boss, Gus D’Amato, a hot and hunky FBI agent. Six months later she is out of his office and in his bed, enjoying the most erotic sex imaginable and forging a bond with the man who makes every muscle in her body quiver. But things go dramatically wrong, and between bouts of thermonuclear sex that set them both on fire, Gus finds himself struggling to keep them both safe.

Review:

Anya has seen the bad side of men and her own innocence has cost her a lot, but when she puts her trust in one very sexy FBI agent she is surprised by the things he makes her feel and what he shows her.

Gus is so very proud of Anya and what she has done and really overcome since their time together, but now that she is in danger again he will do whatever he has to protect her and what he loves.

Desiree Holt has done it again with this suspense filled, hot and sexy story. She always writes the most delectable heroes and manages to make her characters so very lovely and hot at the same time.

This is a must read for anyone who is a Desiree Holt fan or even if you just want to give her a try, she never lets us down.

Blurb/Summary:
Human Design, Book One

A self-professed lab geek, Claire doesn’t date much. In fact, she has more contact with the rats at the lab than with human males, not counting her toadlike boss, Gordon. When her coworkers drag her out to a club, Claire ends up fending off her drunk and handsy boss—until she’s rescued by Ed, the most beautiful bouncer she’s ever seen.

Her tentative, exhilarating relationship with Ed is interrupted when she learns her boss intends to falsify research data to win a grant. When Claire threatens to reveal the truth, she endangers her life, as well as Ed’s. Framed and forced to run, it’s not long before Claire discovers Ed is hiding a shocking secret of his own.

Through arson, police chases and attempted murder, the two grow closer, the intensity of their lovemaking rivaling that of their harrowing journey. Claire would be worried about the ever-present danger and a grim future as a fugitive…if she weren’t so engrossed in her erotic experiments with Ed.

Review:

Claire is a certified lab geek and she knows that has a big affect on her social life, or lack thereof. So when she goes out to celebrate with the boss and other co-workers she is shocked when her boss becomes handsy, but even more shocked when the sex god of a bouncer decides to save her and then lets her know how attracted he is to her.

Ed takes one look at Claire and all his possessive instincts kick in, not to mention that he wants her in a bad way. When he realizes she is in danger he has no plan to leave her side and in the process she steals his heart, but can they survive the people out too harm Claire?

This is a great suspense romance story; you will absolutely love Claire and her quick wit and funny remarks, and combine that with Ed and his protective streak with Claire and the little mouse he is so determined to keep safe you will love it.

Katie Allen does a great job keeping you wondering what is going to happen next. With this wonderful story by Katie you will not be able to not fall in love with Claire and Ed, she has you laughing one minute and your heart racing the next wondering what is in store for those two.
