Reviewer: Nikki

Blurb/Summary:

For undercover DNR agent Nikki Seek, what begins as an investigation into ecoterrorism in the Ozarks turns deadly when she becomes a suspect and a target for murder. Her uncle dead, her aunt missing, a regrettable night of passion, and Nikki flees from the law and a murderer.

Review:

The night Nikki Seek comes to town happens to be the same night her Uncle is murdered. Nikki's looking for her Aunt, who was supposed to have been sorting out details of some sort with the Uncle that is now dead. And the trouble doesn't stop there!

Leave No Trace is a mystery and suspense that keeps the reader guessing. Add in murder, betrayal and secrets and you've got the plot of Leave No Trace. I found the story to be fairly interesting and it held my interest. I think the characters could have been a bit more developed and believable, but overall the story was engaging.

If you like mystery and suspense in your romance, Leave No Trace is the book for you.

Blurb/Summary:

Assistant District Attorney Meg McCormick is running for her life…

Three years ago, Meg landed the case that promised to make her career, prosecuting and convicting the notorious Chicago drug lord, Simonson. But now he's out on parole, thirsty for revenge and commands connections which span deep within the Chicago PD. The case that should have sealed her career now promised to end her life.

Meg flees Chicago, but instead of finding sanctuary, a head on collision puts her in the hospital, frightened and alone with no one to turn to.

Then walks in tall, dark and sexy Police Detective Nate Reed, who risked his life to save Meg from the burning wreckage. Or so everyone claims. But is Nate a hero, or just another corrupt cop working for Simonson?

Dare she trust him?

And if she does, could she be risking his life, as well?

Review:

When the people you once thought were trustworthy turn out to be the bad guys, it's not easy to put your trust in anyone. Even a sexy cop who risked his life to save you. Meg is on the run, scared, and alone. But now Nate won't let her go without answers. Is he trustworthy?

Meghan Matthews weaves a world of suspense in Looking for a Hero. The action is non-stop intensity. When you're near to catching a breath, the intrigue jumps back up again. One of the best suspense books I've read this year so far, Ms. Matthews is going on my auto-buy list!

If you enjoy heart-pounding romantic suspense, don't miss Looking for a Hero. I recommend this highly!

Blurb/Summary:

Space pilot Kyra fears that sleeping with her partner is a bad idea. She’s right.

When a wedding takes her to planet Dezra, she’s soon pursued by a sexy alien male. Someone should have told her not to drink the local aphrodisiac. It creates an internal inferno that has her panting for sex. Luckily, there’s that sexy alien to ease her sensual ache. Unluckily, there’s also her former partner, who broke her heart. But he wants her back, at all costs. Even if he has to share her with another male first.

Publisher’s Note: To read Jana and Qay’s story, check out Alien Best Man.

Review:

Amy Redwood did a nice job of intertwining her two stories, Alien Best Man and My Alien Threesome, so we get to see each heroine’s perspective of what was happening to them at the time.

The alien planet, Dezra, and the language barrier add dimension to the story. However, the language barrier didn’t affect the very hot, erotic love scenes between Garret, Slyte, and Kyra. I never would have guessed this was how Kyra had spent her time away from her friend Jana!

Slyte is a strong alien assigned to Kyra while she’s on the planet. We don’t get to learn much about him except he follows non-verbal direction very well. Even by the end of the story, he still remains mysterious, but now he is at least a friend.

The real love story with all the drama is between Garret and Kyra. Their one night leads to misunderstanding and heartbreak. The standing question in their relationship is one of trust. Can Kyra learn to trust Garret? Is Garret worth the heartbreak? No spoilers here. Read this entertaining story to find out.

My Alien Threesome is a well written short story. My only complaint is that it was short and ended before I knew it! Amy Redwood’s alien world is a great place to get lost in for a while. I look forward to other tales from Dezra.

Blurb/Summary:

Tate Maddox is a wanted man, accused of a crime he didn’t commit.

Summer Sheldon holds the key to his freedom—for a price.

Her demands are simple--rescue her journalist sister from a rebel hostage camp and she'll hand over the evidence to clear his name. There's just one small catch. He has to take her with him. From the depths of a Cambodian jungle to the tropical paradise of the Philippines, two unlikely allies are forced to learn how to coexist or lose everything each holds dear. Together they must expose a truth that leaves them both vulnerable to the ruthless killer behind Tate’s nightmare.

Murder, blackmail, and injustice brought them together. Will Tate and Summer save Willow and restore Tate’s reputation in time, or will they pay the ultimate price for honor?

Review:

Ready for a hot romance filled with plenty of action and suspense? Operation Summer Storm has all that and more. This edge-of-your-seat story will lure the reader away from the world as this book is engaging and memorable.

Summer wants to save her sister, and she finds Tate Maddox to do the job. She's got a bargain for him. Find her sister and rescue her, and in return she will prove his innocence. Seems simple, right?

No, not really. The world they enter is dangerous and unlike anything they've ever known. The two learn to trust and rely on each other to stay ahead of the danger and complete their mission. But the danger they can't seem to fight is their attraction to one another.

Like romantic suspense with adventure? Operation Summer Storm delivers! Don't miss this action-packed book!
