Even dangerous men find love
I received a copy of this book for an honest review. I loved it. There was quite a bit of action to go along with the romance. The H was a hard man with a hard past and the h really broke down his walls. It starts off in a Russian mobs sex den and it takes a couple of tries to get the h out. It was action from there. Although this was a standalone with a HEA and background is given, you'll want to read book 5 to get the whole story either before or after because it's just that good! Enjoy!

Prisoner Mine
Oh wow! This definitely was not what I expected. This story had so many twists to it that it kept me reading until I had to finish it. I read it in less than 12 hours. I knew Zeke was Branch but yet it didn't seem like he was. Greer is one tough gal - had to be with the family she had. Glad Zeke found his future in Greer. But what organization is Greer from? That is a mystery. Great job Megan! I would recommend this book.

Not your typical Love Story... Must Read!!
Okay first I want to start off by saying that this is the first book in a series. However, the author does leave it on a good note it is not the end of the story for Tony or Lani. So, I have to start this review off by saying this is not your typical boy meets girl kind of love story. It's unconventional and disturbing to a point, but not so much so that you can't fathom a love blooming. Having said that, AT FIRST, I couldn't stand Lani. She only thought about what effects her and not anyone else. But as you read further you watch her shift from this self-centered, spoiled brat to someone comp

Really good.
Who doesn't like a sexy mobster obsessed. He a man of few words and strong passion. She sweet and caring and caught up in a mess. But they find their way to love. It is my first time reading this author but I will buy more.
