From back of book:
Kimani Cannon knows she's in trouble the second she lays eyes on 6'4" of luscious male. The best kind of trouble, too…mm-mmm! Duan Jeffries turns out to be the perfect man—charming, considerate…and the best lover she's ever had. Too bad Mr. Delicious is just a one-night stand….



Until Kim needs a date to her mother's (fifth) wedding! Duan's willing to act the part of her fiancé… as long as it means full benefits. More amazing sex? No problem!

Then Kim finds out that Duan's got his own private agenda. Suddenly, she doesn't know what to believe. Her head and heart are telling her to be careful. But the sensual thrumming in her blood is turning out to be much more persuasive….



My Review:


This should have been a face paced book but for some reason it took me a while to read it. The plot was great. It centers around a steamy sexual affair turned romance between the two main characters. Jackson also was able to throw in a bit of suspense with the storyline concerning Kim mother's fiance. TBR List #4 though it was good there's no rush to read this.

From back of book:
Was She More Than His Mate?
Julian Savage was golden. Powerful. But tormented. For the brooding hunter walked alone, far from his Carpathian kind, alien to even his twin. Like his name, his existence was savage. Until he met the woman he was sworn to protect… When Julian heard Desari sing, rainbows swamped his starving senses. Emotions bombarded his hardened heart. And a dark hunger to possess her flooded his loins, blinding him to the danger stalking him. And even as Desari enflamed him, she dared to defy him with mysterious, unparalleled feminine powers. Was Desari more than his perfect mate? Julian had met his match in this woman, but would she drive him to madness…or save his soul?

My Review:
Like all the novels in the Dark Series it is very repetitive. Words you will hear over and over and over again are white hot, liquid heat, molten lava, need, and hunger. It can be quite tiring and bogs the book down. If you took all the repetitive words out of the story it would be much more interesting but a whole lot shorter. Like in all the novels you are introduced to new characters that you know will have their own books in the future. What was different about this one is that you have a group of Carpathians you have been “lost” since childhood. They do not understand the ways of their people. We as readers can see what is happening between two of the characters though they cannot understand it themselves. TBR list #5

From back of book:
When there are no rules, there are no limits.

A woman on the run, with more to live for than she imagined, collides with a danger more lethal than she feared in the all-new GhostWalker scorcher by #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan…

GhostWalker Kane Cannon is pure male-animalistic, sexual, protective, instinctive-and his past missions have prepared him for anything. But his newest assignment, to rescue hostages in Mexico, plunges him into a hot zone he never anticipated: the hiding place of Rose Patterson-a fugitive, an ex-lover, a fellow GhostWalker pregnant with his child.
Rose is in flight from the insidious experiments that still haunt her dreams, and from the madman who’d do anything to take her child. Of all the GhostWalkers enlisted to hunt her down, Kane is the only one she can trust. But as their passion reignites, the stakes are raised. Because Kane is now a wanted man as well. And together they’re about to face the most desperate challenge of all: saying together and staying alive.

My Review:
The GhostWalkers are an elite group of military soldiers who have been psychically enhanced. This book focuses on the relationship between Kane and Rose. Kane came into the program as an adult. Rose had been in the program since she was a child. Treated horribly she was trained and experimented on. Then she was put into the breeding program design to make a super solider. She rejected all the men sent her way until Kane. She has chosen him.
The novel is fast paced. It get bogged down sometimes at the descriptive romance scenes once you realize that you have heard these words before. Still, it’s a good story to get lost in. On your tbr list placed this at #3
