Product Description

Ben Mercy is a man with a past. Trying to start a new life with the KFA — an elite team of professional manhunters — he hopes to prove himself by capturing the most wanted man in America. But Ben isn’t the only bounty hunter on the case. And the trail takes a deadly new turn when he’s thrown by the curves — of a beautiful woman.

A helpless pawn in her father’s plan to merge two casinos through marriage, Zoey’s been warned to stay away from the lowlife bounty hunters who’ve come to town.

My Review:

 

The The Mulligan Stew Assassin is in hiding and everyone knows who he is but not where he is.  Ben Mercer is the newest employee of the King Fugitive Apprehension (aka KFA) and decides to find Micah and Maggie in Zounds a small town in Northern California by using a blank postcard sent by Micah.

Zounds is ruled by Emilio Cortez who owns the whole town and everything related to the town.  Zoey the daughter of Cortez is the first person that Ben meets and she shows him around.  Zoey and Ben are instantly attracted to each other but she is engaged to someone her father picked out for her.  Zoey spends her time at a bookstore run by Angelina Matisse a women who would do anything for Zoey.

Wolf Marley another bounty hunter is determined to bring in the Mulligan Stew Assassin and collect the one million dollar bounty.  Wolf hooks up with Angelina (aka Angel).

This book had non-stop action and hot, steamy and passionate romance.  Wolf sure had an insatiable sex drive.

Slow Heat

Lorie O'Clare

As a new trainee at the King family’s bounty-hunting agency, Micah Jones is trying to keep his cool. But his latest assignment — to bring in a night-club owner suspected of money-laundering — heats up fast when he meets the “brains” of the outfit: an irresistibly beautiful bookkeeper who’s resisting arrest. So Micah takes her into custody — by taking her into his powerful arms and not letting go.

Held for questioning but released by police, Maggie O’Malley is still a person of interest — to Micah. And Maggie is interested, too — in his services. With his iron-hard muscles and tough-guy exterior, the Harley-riding bounty hunter is just the man Maggie needs to track down the real crook at the club. A slow-burning attraction ignites a firestorm of insatiable desire — until the secrets of Micah’s past are exposed. Explosive passion now must prove stronger than a history so terrifying it might haunt them forever.

My Review:

Micah Jones is a new trainee at the King's family bounty-hunting agency.  His latest assignment is to bring in the night-club owner suspected of laundering money but when he meets the brainy and beautiful bookkeeper who resists arrest he almost loses his cool.  He takes her into custody and also into his arms and decides he doesn't want to let her go.

Maggie O'Mallery is questioned by the police but they let her go because they don't have any evidence against her.  Maggie hires Micah to track down the real culprit at the club.  A smoldering hot attraction ignites between them that turns into a smoking hot love affair.  Then a secret from Micah's past is discovered and exploited.

Micah is definitely a bad boy who has changed his ways at the end.  He is a wild man with a kinky quirk in the bedroom (Oh Boy one of the love scenes was very kicky and hot at the same time).  Maggie was able to handle herself with the big boys and was able to keep up with them.

Run Wild

Product Description
 
Hot on the trail of a cold-blooded killer, a small-town sheriff risks his life — and his heart — with one sexy partner …

Raised in a family of professional bounty hunters, Natasha King knows the dangers of tracking down fugitives — especially when they’re wanted for murder. But this is no ordinary mission. This time, it’s personal. The suspect is her own long-lost father — and the lawman hunting him down is dangerously close to catching her off-guard …

In all his years as sheriff, Trent Oakley has never seen a woman as strong-willed — or as scorching hot — as Natasha. With her big-city experience and black-belt training, she’s his best chance for tracking down the Trinity Ranch killer. Problem is: Can he trust her? As the trail gets hotter, their attraction burns wilder, and soon Trent’s not sure who’s hunting who. But one thing’s for sure: Natasha is one woman who always gets her man …

My Review:

Natasha King was raised with her cousins Marc and Jake by her aunt and uncle in the bounty hunter family business.  Her mother left when she was little and her dad con artist George King hasn't been around for many years.

She receives a phone call asking if she knows where he father is and when she replies she doesn't know the man hangs up.  The same day she receives a call from Sheriff Trent Oakley from Weaverville asking the same question where is her father.  He also asks her to come to Weaverville if she wants to help her father.  When she arrives in town he informs her that her dad is a suspect in a brutal murder.  As they investigate they both fall in love while trying to keep Natasha alive.

Natasha was a kick ass heroine, strong-willed, pushy and a firecracker.  Trent is like his dad the former Sheriff who knows how to solve a crime and to close the case.  I thought Trent was a over the top Neanderthal who enjoyed man-handling Natasha but a sexy one at that.  I believe he actually enjoyed it!

I highly recommend this series if you enjoy sexy alpha heroes and kick ass heroines with action-packed storylines and gruesome killings.

My Review

Greg King opened up King Fugitive Apprehension after retiring from LAPD with his wife and Marc and Jake his two sons.

James Huxtable who is a Chicago based private investigator arrives in Los Angeles to hire KFA to protect his undercover partner who happens to be his daughter Angela from Mario Mandela a vile game player and the slave juice drug. Jake met Angela in Mexico on a previous case (see Get Lucky) and he agrees to protect Angela.  Undercover as Angela Torres she's playing a very dangerous game with Mandela who wants to make her his slave.

This book continues the storyline of The Game and slave juice with tons of action, two very interesting main characters with family helping them along the way and a dangerous and scary villain.

My Review:

Storyline:

Her parents were always on the run after completing a scheme so London Brooke grew up in chaos. So her  reaction to her living out of a suitcase childhood is stability in one place. Thus she works at the Elk Ski Lodge in Aspen, Colorado.

Bounty hunter Marc King arrives at the Ski Lodge for some needed respite. He and London are attracted to one another when they first meet at the front desk. They begin a tryst, but soon afterward each receives packages from a stranger observing both of them. The pair shares what they know including her family's occupation as they fear their families may be in peril from an unknown dangerous adversary, whose motive is unclear to them.

The book is very fast paced since the first time Marc and London meet till the last page of the book!


I thought "The Game" the bad guys are playing is kind of strange and very unreal and unbelievable!

FBI agent Kylie Donovan is undercover to catch an online child predator. Because of her youthful appearance, she is able to pretend to be a college student doing a thesis on teen behavior. Perry Flynn is a police detective that knows there is a connection between the teens popping up missing or murdered in his town but for some reason his chief is blocking him from fully investigating this.

Perry is a dedicated hero and he will do anything to prevent his nieces from ending up a victim. In the age of twitter, blogs and other social websites, he knows his four nieces are vulnerable to the sexual predators who use the internet to lure out young females. He is immediately suspicious of Kylie a college student from Kansas who has befriended Dani, his most rebellious niece.

This has exciting police procedural that focuses on some of the modern day dangers with Internet enticements and stalking.

I liked Perry but he could be a little overprotective of his nieces and shoving the heroine against the wall in anger ( a little too violent for me).

I liked Kylie because she overcame the issues she had and she was a tough girl who could take care of herself and willing to use herself as bait for the rapists/killers.

My Review:

"Temptation on Ice" by Cherry Adair is a short story in T-FLAC series. Time is running out for kidnapped scientist Michaela when Sebastian, the man she's dreamt of for years arrived to 'rescue' her. But Sebastian's assignment is to take out the sexy woman, he believes faked her own death and is working for the enemy on a bomb that will destroy the world

I liked the characters' back-story and thought that Sebastian's ability to borrow others' paranormal powers was neat, the next thing I know Sebastian is having sex with Michaela and then plans to kill her afterwards. (3 stars) 

"Temptation in Shadows" by Gena Showalter was my favorite story of the bunch.  Gabby is a survivor of an experiment that has left her with very dangerous powers. Sean is an operative in a paranormal agency working undercover as a bodyguard in order to get close to Gabby - his job is to determine if Gabby is a threat which needs to be neutralized.
 
Sean is a great character and I loved his power of manipulating the shadows and the chemistry between him and Gabby is hot. (3.5 stars)
 
Hunting Temptation" by Lorie O`Clare is about bounty hunter hero, Seth, tracking down a serial killer goes to his favorite 'source' - who unknown to Seth is a werewolf - for info and catches the attention of his informant's sister Jenna. Jenna is intrigued by the human and decides to evade her protective pack to entice Seth to scratch her itches - and inadvertently sets herself up as the next target for the killer.  Seth was a  good character but Jenna was naive and never listened to her brother - she always found herself in situations. (3 stars)
