She’s tried to get on with her life, but there one problem. No one else is Lee.
Now, she has trouble, one of her employees has lost a bag of diamonds and the people who it belongs to want it back. Badly enough that they started shooting at Indy and her employee. Lee’s willing to help, but he has a price. Can Indy bring herself to open up enough to let him in again?
What did I think?
I loved it. It was gripping in a way that kept me up until 3am, despite knowing I had to get up before six. I laughed, a lot. Bossy leading men really doesn’t do a whole lot for me, unless you pair it with a leading woman who doesn’t do what she’s told. I can’t wait to start the next book in the series. 4 stars
Still reading Kristen Ashley
Posted: January 23, 2013 Filed under: What I'm Reading | Tags: Colorado Mountain, Dream Man, Kristen Ashley, Rock Chick, series, what I'm reading Leave a commentI’m slowly working my way through her back list, one series at a time. I started with the Dream Man series and I was hooked, I can’t wait for the first book in the Chaos series to come out so I can see where the story goes next. I recently finished her Colorado Mountain series, and it was just as good, just as gripping, and hard to put down, and I’m ready for the next book in that series. I’m still having a hard time realizing that it’s 2am and I have to get up in less than four hours so that I can get a semi-decent amount of sleep, but the stories are so worth it.
I plan to start the Rock Chick books tonight, we’ll see how functional I am in the morning.
What I’m reading ~ Dream Man series ~ Kristen Ashley
Posted: January 7, 2013 Filed under: What I'm Reading | Tags: Dream Man, Kristen Ashley, Law Man, reading, series, what I'm reading 2 CommentsMy latest reading obsession has been the Dream Man series by Kristen Ashley. I’ve just finished the third one, Law Man and every time I pick one up, I have a hard time putting it down for any reason. Last night, when I went to bed, I intended to read for twenty minutes or so, then go to sleep, because I had to get up early. I didn’t have a book I was in the middle of, so I started Law Man. I was immediately sucked in, and it wasn’t until about two hours later that I remembered I had to get up, by then I was going to get maybe four hours sleep. Every book I’ve read in the series has been that way. I haven’t read any of her other series, but I plan to, she is just that good.
What I’m Reading ~ Backfire ~ Catherine Coulter
Posted: October 25, 2012 Filed under: What I'm Reading | Tags: 4 howls, Catherine Coulter, Dillon Savich, FBI, FBI Thriller, series, Sherlock, what I'm reading Leave a commentThis is the 16th book in Coulter’s FBI Thriller series.
FBI Agent Dillon Savich receives a vague but ominous threat, while they’re trying to trace who might be after him, and why, a long time friend, and federal judge, Ramsey Hunt is shot in the back and nearly killed. Savich and his wife, fellow Agent Lacey Sherlock fly to San Francisco to help find whoever is trying to kill Hunt.
What did I think? I liked it, I love this series and usually fly through the books, unfortunately, I’m so busy with other things it took me a week to finish this. Savich and Sherlock are true to character, taking care of each other, their son and their friends while, at the same time, doing their job. This one kept me interested even when I had to put it down over and over.

880 was comatose when the NSO found him, and in the months since he has healed, but not regained consciousness. The human doctor working for the NSO, Alison, has a theory, something she wants to try to wake him, but everyone she talks to refuses, so she takes matters into her own hands and kidnaps him, taking him to a rented farmhouse for a few days to see if he will get used to her scent and wake. She knows that she’ll lose her job, and is risking imprisonment, but it’s worth the risk.
When NSO agents find where they are hiding, she knows she’s out of time, but no one is prepared for what happens next.
What did I think? I enjoyed it. I was so drawn in, so intrigued by the story that I stayed up past 2am to finish it, despite knowing I had to get up at 6.
My rating? 4 howls.

What did I think? It was hot. Not as kinky as some of the Rough Riders books, but very good. The story of Tell and Georgia and how they’ve both grown up and into themselves, is great.

But when a mission takes him back to his home world he can’t resist the trip to see what was left of his family, the ragtag group of survivors making in the harsh environment. What he hadn’t counted on was that Piper was still there, and still stirred the same feelings in him he’d left behind. Can he do his job, and keep her safe? What is she insists on staying with him?
