Touching her was tempting fate--and tempting him to risk it all....


Her note read, "fin in trouble," and John McShane sensed the desperation in Cali Ellis's plea for help. He'd flown to the Caribbean on a rescue mission, but the woman whose defiant beauty still heated his blood refused to leave without answers. Unable to deny her desire for this fierce warrior, Cali longed to taste the fire of his possession. She'd always trusted him with her life, but was she sure enough to dare surrender?

In a sexy tale of breathless pursuit and irresistible danger, Donna Kauffman entangles a hero rugged enough to haunt a woman's dreams with a lady cool enough to keep him a little too close for comfort! He'd been her anchor when grief had shattered her heart, but now could she give him a new reason to fight?

My Thoughts and Review

I enjoyed reading Silent warrior it was a light fast read with a little bit of romance and intrigue.

Loved the characters John and Ellie. I really loved the other characters that were introduced to the plot some witty and funny which you did not expected from the ruggedly dangerous agent yet he had a playful side at least with Ellie and then the Serious agents Scottie and John McShane.

Found John McShane to be a complicated character but, I understand why with the life he has lead.Not wanting to involve others into his life fearing for the lives and a loner himself and closed off a serious personality.But, after meeting Ellie ten years later and after leaving her after her husbands death this rugged dangerous CIA comes to life on the pages where we see him come alive on the pages . All this due to Callie and the love long forgotten he had for her and now what could be.

Found Ellie to be lots of fun a serious personality too but more open to feeling than John. A computer whiz /hacker made for an intriguing character for her, What a feisty sly one she was.Bound and destined to stand up for what she wants and with a knack of getting what she wants due to perseverance.

The two come together after many years as someone is trying to kill her and she needs Johns help. It seems that her husband wrote a complicated computer program and now the government wants it and wants anyone who knows about it eliminated.Once John comes to find Ellie he realizes all those tucked away feelings he had for her all those years ago are not long and forgotten.

Overall it was a enjoyable story. I enjoyed the plot as well. A little bit of romance and intrigue.I cute story to snuggle up to. I gave the story 3.5 stars because I thought this story needed a bit more action and danger and a little more bit of romance in it.It wasn't the kind of story that had you sitting on the seat of your pants where you can't wait to turn the page.I did like that fact that John was able to un-thaw that heart of his a bit to give Ellie and chance to win his heart and remove some of the loneliness he has had with his solitary life. But, love is not easy and there were times I wanted to kick John and say stop being stupid and go for it ! Reach for want you want even though you don't think you deserve it !

Its been years since I read a book by Donna so I was glad to get a chance to read something new by her. I have loved her historical romance novels in the past so it was a delight to read one of her contemporary romances.Looking forward to reading the other books in this series.

I recommend read from us ! A light fun read for those Donna Kauffman fans !

This is Book 1 in The Immortal Heat series.

My Thoughts and Review

All I have to say it wow what a very erotic hot read this story turned out to be.This book is the first and a new series and Debut book for Britt Bury.This story was engrossing right from page one.

Something fresh and new to read about.

Kelvin is on a mission to kill the last Campbell who turns out to be Izel Campbell a female clan member and not a male.Although Kelvin senses something from the get go about Izel that she is special and there is not way her will be able to go through with his initial task what more is he recognizes that Izel is his chosen mate .

The couple take is on a journey where we experience love, hate, betrayal, friendship with the combined couple and clan. I found myself laughing and crying quite a bit throughout this story and at one point toward the end I thought I was going to have to get the tissues out.

I loved the story from beginning to end. All the characters we engaging and engrossing. Izel was full of fun whit and had and outspoken personality that had you laughing like a loon at some of the things that came out of her mouth.

The book took you into a new realm of fantasy and magic something as a reader I have not read before.Have to say I loved the story .This couple didn't have a easy road to find ones true love and there mate for life. The past is not easily put aside to enjoy what may be.The book was a page turner from beginning to end for me waiting to see what happened next.I am a sucker for love and happy endings. There was quite a bit of sexual banter and crude words used during there love making scenes making the story more intense and playful.

This was a keeper in my book.Hoping this is not the last we hear of Izel and Kelvin hopefully we will here from them again in the books to come.A recommend read to those looking for something new a fresh. Looking forward to reading more of Britt Bury's book in the future.What a enjoyable read !

 A holiday with tall, dark, handsome…and immortal!

 Everyone needs a break sometimes, especially during the summer. After all, what’s more relaxing, and more romantic, than a midnight stroll through Paris? Or the way the moon reflects off the ocean? And if your mesmerizing, sexy date happens to be ready to nibble your neck, who would want to say no?

 Vacations are a perfect time to indulge, so why not spend a little quality time with these immortal hunks in three luscious tales of hot getaways. Treat yourself to a little bit of summer moonlight with these tales brought to you by Michele Hauf, Kendra Leigh Castle and Lisa Childs.

My Thoughts
These 3 stories were about three lost soul vampires finding love when they least expect it.My favorite story out of the bunch were Vivi's and Justin story who would have thought a vampire hunter and the Lord of all vampires hooking up.The three stories were and enjoyable read but none of them over exciting it was a quick read to pass the time.It was nice to see after centuries that these 3 vampire found there mates when they were not looking. Each were lonely and bruting and another set with revenge on his mind but ,they all found love in unusual places and all on vacation which made me laugh. A Vampire on vacation lol nice touch and different.I have read Michele Hauf's books and loved her the other authors in this story I have not read any of there works so this was a treat to try someone new.I think there will be a lot of people who will enjoy this book its not the usual run of the mill stories and I was not the type that had tons of killing and violence just 3 stories that take you along for the ride watching them fall in love. Well done and a fun read !

It all started with a song.

Roxana Nights was late to another gig, thanks to her first love, and drummer. It’s been years since she left Jordan, but he won’t let her go. Then she hears a voice that pulls her under a spell and changes her whole world.

Trevor Malone just moved to Seattle with his band. Music is his only passion, until he lays eyes on Roxana. He’s never felt anything as strong as the pull to her. Now he needs to find a way to introduce her to his world.

There’s only one problem. A rival clan won’t rest until they’ve taken Trevor’s down. Unwilling to let old grudges die, they target Roxy. Trevor will do anything to keep her safe.

Roxy learns that the world she writes is closer to reality than she ever imagined, and that not all monsters are evil, though some are ruthless.

Will love stay strong when the past comes out? Can they survive the centuries old vendetta?

Excerpt: Nights Embrace


She slipped past him, and onto the wings of the stage. Her gaze fell on Mr. Voice who was tall, dark and smokin’ hot.

Holy shit, I want to lick him.

Scuffed combat boots were laced up over black leather pants that clung to muscular thighs, and his black shirt molded to the most impressive set of abs she had ever seen. Roxy wanted to trace the ridges with her fingertips.

He turned, his voice dropping low as his eyes locked on hers. His words enveloped her. “… you’re the only one.”

Her heart paused a beat before slamming into her chest at a rapid pace. His full mouth lifted into a grin that spoke of confidence as he held her full attention. Entranced, she fell deep into his eyes and the world stopped.

Until a drumstick hit him in the head. He looked over his shoulder and shrugged sheepishly at his drummer before turning back to launch into the next verse.

Mikey gently shook her shoulder. “Hey, Rox, come on. We have to warm up.”

Her head bobbed in a nod at her brother, but she didn’t look over. She muttered, “Yeah, give me a minute,” or longer.

As if he heard, Mr. Voice glanced over and winked at her before the next song started. “Blinded by beauty, falling at first sight, head over heels…” There was raw passion in his voice, and she couldn’t help wishing he was singing about her.
