Fighting for Jen, by Cara Carnes

Synopsis: She fights for those who can’t fight back…

Jennifer Davenport vowed to never back down from a fight. Raised in a violent home, she’d survived her share of nightmares and monsters lurking in the shadows. She’s made it her life mission to help all of Counterstrike’s clients start a new life. Her former Delta force brothers get them out, and she paves the way to a better future. Easy, right?

Yeah, no. She’s used to threats, but when they turn deadly, she finds herself turning to mysterious, sexy leader of the local MC. The Scythe MC’s President is everything she shouldn’t want yet can’t resist.

Banner “Razor” Nilon left military service wrongly branded as “dishonorably discharged.” Rather than walk away, he chose to fight within the shadows. The Scythe MC was formed for one purpose: redemption. The goal was simple: operate off the radar and prove he and his club brothers were all innocent.

But the club hit Counterstrike’s radar in a big way and the beautiful, brilliant attorney has shaken his entire world up. Walking away when she’s in trouble isn’t possible, especially when the little spitfire defends his club. Yeah, taking on her war to find whoever wants to kill her might not be the smartest plan, but he’ll do whatever it takes to keep her safe—even if it means playing nicely with her protective, billionaire do-gooder big brothers and all their former military operatives. They may not always play by the rules, but Razor’s never met a rule he wouldn’t break.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: I stumbled across Cara Carnes' Arsenal series a few years ago, and she immediately became one of my favorite authors. Like the Arsenal series, this Counterstrike series will suck you right in. And once you're in the Counterstrike world (which crosses over with both Cara's Arsenal world and Susan Stoker's book world), you will never want to leave. This is Jen and Razor's story, and holy hell, it was a hot one. Razor is the sexiest hero in the series so far (in my opinion), and the alpha-ness seeping from him was tangible. I kept picturing Sebastian Stan with his long hair in the Avenger movies. If you haven't read this series yet, start at the beginning. The books are available on Kindle Unlimited (lucky us!), and once you see how great they are, you'll be adding them to your library as well. For me, each book in this series has been better than the last, though I haven't been disappointed in a single one. If you like military romance, romantic suspense, Susan Stoker's books, or just a darn good read, you need to check out this author.

The Blast from the Past, by Lucy Score

Synopsis: Riley Thorn and her hot, tattooed, private investigator boyfriend are all moved into their new fixer upper. Not only do they finally have their own place, they also haven’t found any new dead bodies on the premises. Yep. It looks like summer is over and so is Riley’s bad luck. Or is it? While Nick gives up sleeping and showering to obsess over the cold case that still haunts him, his business partner Mrs. Penny is calling the investigative shots. It’s every bit as bad as you can imagine. Meanwhile, Riley has her hands full fixing up the crumbling crime scene they call home and setting boundaries with the breaking-and-entering octogenarians next door. You know. Normal stuff. But normal comes to a screeching halt when our favorite psychic is abducted by a stranger with candy, and her powers go on the fritz. To make matters worse, it becomes clear that Riley’s new house guests are definitely either in trouble or are trouble after bad guys deliver a warning with a severed finger...
Webster's defines resting book face as follows: (a) the look a person gets when someone interrupts them while they're reading a really good book; and (b) the vacant stare of a reader who is mentally lost in their book world when reading isn't possible. Okay, fine. It's not in Webster's. But it should be.

Synopsis : A solo honeymoon in Fiji to recover from the viral wedding disaster that almost had me married to the wrong man? Yes, please. Tripping over my number one celebrity crush, who is hungover and asleep on my bungalow porch? Not exactly in the plans, but I can roll with it. Turns out Jonas Rutherford, Razzle Dazzle movie star and heir to the entertainment conglomerate’s billions, is hiding here too after details of his scandalous divorce went public.

When you’re suddenly single and the number one guy on your freebie list is available, you leap. But when I wake up the next morning, I discover I’m not the only runaway. He’s ghosted me. It’s fine.
