I really enjoy this series, but the K9 deserves a pic on the cover too. A fast paced and entertaining story, he's an alpha male and she's no shrinking violet. Will they clash, they seem to love to hate each other. Great story line, just when you think the action is finished there's more. Her determination to catch the bad guys could get them killed. Wonderful characters, I can't wait for the next book in this series.

This special operative and a K-9 handler must work in close proximity to solve a crime—and whether they kill each other or wind up in bed is anyone’s guess.


After a string of deaths are linked to a man locked up for another crime, Special Operative Alix Broshears and his team are racing against the clock to stop him before another person dies. Bringing in the gorgeous handler from a local K-9 unit makes sense—unless you ask Broshears’ libido. When it comes to the intelligent woman who thinks on her feet, his control is tested every damn minute.


Vivian Valentine is up for the challenge of joining the team on yet another mission with her K-9 partner, Zack. She’s also determined to prove her worth to a certain special operative who takes arguing with her seriously.

Sure, they hate each other. They’re also friends.

And there might have been one encounter in a closet, but they don’t discuss that.

Despite their strained ties, when Broshears learns Vivian’s in peril, the race is on to save her. Nothing can keep him from holding back his wrath against their enemies…or his feelings for the woman he’s determined to rescue.

It's time for Dom "Savage" to retire from the rodeo circuit. What will he do with his life, he enjoys cooking so opens a BBQ joint. Not noticing across the road is a mirror image...is there room for two in town. To make things worse...or is it better, it's run by his ex.
Jada is not over her cowboy and he still loves her. Can she forgive him for leaving her, will they have a love hate relationship?
The banter between them was hilarious, not to mention the antics to outdo each other.
This was a very entertaining Sunday read for me. Great characters and fun story line.

They were friends. Now they’re business rivals. Is there room for being lovers too?

Jada Ellis is ready to make some big life changes. When she leaves her job as caregiver in the Crossroads, Georgia nursing home and buys the local BBQ joint on a whim, everyone thinks she’s lost her mind, including her. Just as she starts to feel she’s found the perfect happy trail, she sees another kind of happy trail, leading across the road to her very buff and smoking-hot ex who’s fresh off the rodeo circuit and back in town.

Dominick Cole’s grandpa advised him to stay in the small town, settle down and raise a family here. But he didn’t listen and ran off to chase a golden buckle as a big-time rodeo star. But when “Savage” Cole returns to start up a barbecue restaurant, he couldn’t find a better—or sexier—rival in Jada. The town isn’t big enough for both of them—but a bed might be.

Smoldering friends to enemies to rivals to lovers romance never went down so good. Grab a sweet tea—or something harder—and binge on the latest book in the Crossroads series!

Hitting Xtremes (Xtreme Ops Book 1)

What an awesome adventure this story was, I couldn't put it down. This tale just took off running.
A debut for this team, and they were flawless. An immediate mission gives no time for bonding but they worked as one. After they saved Cora from a downed plane she was determined to save them by being their guide. There is undeniable chemistry between her and their leader. Will it get in their way of the mission?
Set in Alaska, it made me shiver reading it. Drug smuggling, hijacking planes, murder, it had it all.
Great story, steady paced, full of action, danger and loving. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

No amount of snow and ice can melt this attraction…

Special ops captain Penn Sullivan is no stranger to extreme conditions, but chasing an elusive drug trafficker through the Alaskan wilderness proves a challenge. His beautiful and bossy bush guide claims to know the land better than any high-tech GPS system the military offers and has Penn alternately grinding his teeth with frustration…and from a heavy dose of lust for the bold woman with too much allure for her own good.

First the bush plane belonging to Cora’s daddy is hijacked. Then it goes down in the remote area locals call No Man’s Land. Now a special ops unit with more gadgets and muscles than brains or skills to last in the elements is on a man hunt—and she’s determined to help. But it doesn’t take long before she finds that a big, strong tough-guy like Penn really does know how to keep a woman warm on a frigid mountainside.

Penn never thought he’d struggle to keep his hands off a woman dressed like an abominable snow-woman, and after Cora finds him looking back at her in the same way, it feels like striking gold. When their search goes sideways, one of them must make a sacrifice. Cora is no stranger to taking risks, but no way will Penn let the woman go down without fighting like hell for her.

Cocky in a Cowboy Hat (Crossroads Book 3)

Buy Link - Amazon out on October 19

Liberty loses her bid in an auction for her dream ranch...but did she walk away with something better? In her new job the sparks are flying between her and the ranch owner. Should they cross this boundary? I liked that Aiden showed his respect by listening and following through with her opinions. Her nasty ex threw a spanner in the works here and I'm screaming just go to the bank. But the other option made for a more entertaining tale. This was a fun read with great characters, the story stands alone but you'll want to read the others to learn who the others are.

A ranch on the auction block. Two bidders. Only one can win.


Liberty Baker’s dream to raise horses and settle in the small town of Crossroads all comes down to an auction bid. Within heartbeats, her dreams crash and burn as Mr. Bulging Pockets steps in and swipes the ranch out from under her. The fact he’s a hunky bachelor—with an icy blue stare so direct she feels it in places no woman ever should—only makes things worse when he proposes that she should become his ranch hand.

She has an idea of the kind of hand he needs, and washing his dishes and picking up his dirty socks isn’t her thing. Then she remembers why she wanted the ranch in the first place…it’s a safe haven after her bitter divorce.

With a bigger cattle herd and more land, Aidan Bellamy really could use Liberty’s help. Sharing a house is just a living arrangement, right? Convincing himself will be difficult when she parades around with her toned thighs peeking out of her nightshirt and he discovers her in his Jacuzzi more than once. A self-proclaimed bachelor isn’t blind to the fact that women Liberty’s age are lookin’ for a big man to take care of them, and while he might have invited her into this deal, nobody’s sinking her hooks into him.

At least until he learns of the threats against her. No matter how hard he tries to resist, the solution’s staring him in the face.

There’s only one answer left.

It’s marry her and save her from losing it all or let her burn.

Only one look from Liberty sets him aflame. And one touch from Aidan might start a wildfire of emotions neither want to face.

Another enjoyable read in this series. This story is about Logan 'Patriot'. He's in trouble, is he being framed for theft and why? He meets Aarica and keeps bumping into her...is it fate? Their chemistry was sweet and yet sizzling. I enjoyed their romance and the mystery behind the crimes. Entertaining story and wonderful characters, I thoroughly enjoyed it. #readonmybirthday

A biker in trouble. A woman who doesn’t run from it.

Logan, aka Patriot, earned his nickname by fighting for the underdog. Only this time he’s the one being crushed under the weight of injustice when his club comes under fire with the law. While he and his brothers fight to find the true criminal, a certain reserved brunette keeps popping up everywhere he goes, making it even more impossible to ignore the things he feels for her.

While she focuses on striking out on her own, Patriot’s thrown into Aarica’s path so many times that surely Fate has a sense of humor—or a plan. He claims she’s too innocent to be in his company, but she’s determined to convince him otherwise.

With his reputation in ashes, the timing couldn’t be worse for a relationship. But Patriot’s a selfish bastard. As if he’d let her go…


If you love wrong-side-of-the-tracks romance, rough guys who know how to handle themselves and women who don’t back down from anything, click this read!

Confident in Chaps (Crossroads Book 2)

 

by Em Petrova

5 star fun read

 

This author never disappoints, I'm always entertained with her cowboys.

Kaoz is a good man but has a lesson to learn in keeping his woman. Helping her brother to make a success of his ranch he is also trying to win her back. I thought it was funny the reason she doesn't like eggs...that's me too, and I couldn't kill an animal for food either. Lots of light moments in this story and a lot of loving. A fun afternoon read for me.
