More Than Tempt You by Shayla Black

  More Than Tempt You (More Than Words #5)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
More Than Tempt You captivated me from the beginning like all other books by Shayla Black. It had romance, suspense, mystery, family bonding and excellent supporting characters, all the makings of a good book. I felt it impossible to put down since the first page leading to a sleepless night and bleary eyes but this book was worth it.

Clint Holmes experienced a loss so profound that it filled him with rage and anger. All he could think of was getting revenge against whom he presumed was the enemy and get justice even if that required romancing her but what he never could have imagined was falling for her. He was kind, protective and level-headed.

Bethany Banks was sweet yet sassy, vulnerable yet strong and smart yet at times slightly gullible. She has always been hesitant to trust men and for good reason because of the pain she had suffered at the hands of the one man who she did everything for, her father.

Beth and Clint’s relationship started with a farce but after a while it started feeling very real. Even though he thought Beth was the enemy, he protected her and helped her. It was nice to see that even though he got close to Bethany to find out the truth, he never took advantage of her. He did not behave irrationally or make decisions out of anger, instead he listened to reason and logic. Beth suffered a lot but didn’t let that suffering break her which was admirable.

The supporting characters were delightful. I loved how all of Beth’s siblings and their spouses were always so supportive of her and showed her the true meaning of family. I found this book first and was too impatient to read the others in the series before it but after witnessing the supporting characters and their relationships, they are definitely going to be my next books. Overall, I think Shayla Black did a great job in once again keeping the readers hooked to the storyline.

The Elusive Sun by Rebecca Hefner

My rating:  5 of 5 stars The Elusive Sun far surpassed my expectations. If you liked The End of Hatred then you will absolutely love The Elusive Sun. A big congratulations to Rebecca Hefner for writing yet another enthralling novel. The Elusive Sun is the story of Latimus, Sathan’s brother and the vampyre army’s commander and Lila, the sweet aristocrat who will definitely win your heart. I was so excited for their story ever since I first came across the two characters in The End of Hatred and I must say it was worth the wait. I think I liked Latimus even more than Sathan. Even though he was mean before, his transition after what happened to Lila amazed me. He was strong, sweet and so romantic in his efforts to court Lila that it made me swoon. But, at the same time he was a warrior at heart. Lila was kind, resilient and her true strength was highlighted after she suffered a major tragedy. I loved how Latimus was always there for Lila and vice versa even when they did their best ...

Securing Brenae by Susan Stoker

My rating:  5 of 5 stars Securing Brenae is Rear Admiral Dag Creasy and Brenae Creasy’s story. We first met Dag in Securing Caite and even though he played a small part in that book, it intrigued me enough to want his own story and Susan Stoker definitely did not disappoint. This book is different from others written by Susan Stoker because it focuses on a couple that has already been married for 30 years and how despite of all odds and hardships they still love each other as much as they did when they first met if not more. Dag and Brenae first met when Dag was a student in the Naval Academy and Brenae was a waitress. I loved how confident and honest Dag was since the beginning. He was strong and he radiated power without pulling his rank. The thing that I loved about him was that even though he was so strong and responsible, he didn’t hesitate from being vulnerable in front of Brenae. Brenae was the perfect partner for Dag. She was smart, supportive and understanding and never ...

Rescuing Macie by Susan Stoker

My rating:  3 of 5 stars Rescuing Macie is a short novella which I felt was a quick read. It was a relatively light book compared to other books by Susan Stoker. The story has an exceptionally gripping start with Macie climbing out her bedroom window to get away from intruders. Macie’s anxiety was heartbreaking to witness but at the same time it was very realistic. I am sure there are a lot of people who have anxiety issues, maybe not to the same extent but a little anxiety is present in every person. Colt was a calming influence on Macie and it was nice to see him always being so understanding of Macie’s issues and helping her through them without a single complaint. I liked how even though Macie suffered from anxiety issues, she still did not hesitate to defend Colt when needed. I felt that the relationship between Colt and Macie could have been developed a little better. At the start of the book itself, Macie trusts Colt more than anyone else so I just hoped to see a little mo...
