Review: The Intended Victim

44773356. sy475


ONCE, SHE GOT AWAY
The body lying on a cold steel slab bears all the hallmarks of the Chicago Butcher. There’s a cruel slash across her throat, deep enough to sever the carotid artery, and a small crescent carved into her right breast. Her delicate features are painfully familiar to Ash Marcel, once a rising star in the Chicago PD. But though the victim resembles his former fiancée, Remi Walsh, he knows it’s not her.

BUT THIS TIME
Though Remi escaped a serial killer five years ago, her father died trying to save her. Grief and guilt caused her to pull away from the man she loved. Now Ash is back in her life, insisting that Remi is still in danger.

IT’S A DEAD END . . .
Someone is targeting women who look just like Remi. With or without a badge, Ash intends to unmask the Butcher. But the killer isn’t playing games any longer. He’s moving in, ready to finish what he started, and prove there’s nothing more terrifying than a killer’s obsession . . .

Publication Date:  December 31,2019


This is the fourth book of the series but could be read as a stand alone.  Previous characters pop up in this one but the relationship is easy to follow.  I am a self proclaimed wuss for romantic suspense. They drive me bananas mostly because I can't read them at the speed I would like to. Too much information and brain bending to go quickly.  That said, this author is a go to recommendation if you love romantic suspense. 

This story has all the thrilling elements of the genre:  twist and turns, a serial killer back from the dead, a gorgeous cop looking to protect a woman who refuses to be a victim any longer, a creepy setting and weird secondary characters who seem to all be possible suspects.  Wrap yourself up tight and hold on. This one is intense. 

Loved the connection with Remi and Ash.  So happy to see him take things at her speed and make sure their relationship was strong first.  Lovely twisted ending.  Broke my heart but it seemed the right choice for the story. 

Great read!

I'm not exactly sure when I fell in love with books. Probably on my mother's knee listening to her read Dr. Seuss to me. I do remember that I was barely old enough to cross the street by myself when I discovered the delights of the local library. Could anything be more wonderful than spending summer days surrounded by stacks of Nancy Drew mysteries? Over the years I fell in love with Victoria Holt, Jane Austen, Agatha Christie, and J.R.R. Tolkien just to name a few. I read poetry, essays, biographies, and plays. In fact, I read anything I could get my hands on.

Years later (no, I'm not admitting how many) I'm still an avid reader, and my tastes are still as varied as they were in my youth, which I suppose helps to explain why I enjoy writing regency historicals under the name of Deborah Raleigh, as well as my contemporary paranormals as Alexandra Ivy. For now that is enough to keep me busy, but who knows what the future might hold!

I do have a few other loves in my life besides reading and writing, the most important being my unbelievably patient husband, David, and my two sons, Chance and Alexander. Without their constant support and belief in me, I never could have been able to follow my dreams. They are truly my heroes.

I’m about to break the biggest rule of all.

RUGER
I was sixteen when she was born.
The niece of my best friend.
An angel with bright blue eyes and hair the color of night.
Through the years I’ve seen her grow from an adorable dimpled cupid into a strong, independent beauty.
Into a goddess.
A temptress.
Fate has brought us together.
But she is off limits.
I’ve got no business wanting her.
No business at all.

CHASTITY
For years I’ve crushed on him.
An older man who makes me tremble.
A biker King whose arms I want to get lost in.
Whose body I can only dream about touching. 
Whose lips I’m dying to taste.
I shouldn’t want him.
But I do.
I shouldn’t lust after him.
But tell that to my poor hopeless heart.
I should stay away.
But I won’t.

Off Limits is book five in the Kings of Mayhem MC series. It can be read as a standalone. For readers 18+

It's rough being the MC Princess.  Three older brothers, a whole Club behind them interrupting her ability to date.  Chastity tries to get herself out there, but her heart is tied to the club and to one man in particular. 

Ruger agrees to help out Chastity when she needs a temporary roof over her head. He doesn't expect to be unable to control his feelings toward her.  These two are just perfect for each other.  The age difference becomes meaningless.  Friendship and love become the overriding factors.

This book brings back all the favorites from previous stories.  Loved Chastity and the ladies all hanging out.  Loved that she is able to confess her heart has always belonged to Ruger.  I even appreciated how her brother's responded to the relationship---her uncle--not so much. 

Always love hanging with this MC.  Hopefully we will get some more books so that we can continue to follow this group of siblings.

Blog Tour & Review: The Younger Man

TYM - RB banner.jpg
A reckless, obsessive soccer star. A forbidden affair that could ruin her career. The locker room has never been this steamy.
The Younger Man, an epic standalone forbidden age-gap sports romance, by New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle, is LIVE!
cover.jpg


Starting over was her only option.

Forty-years old and still reeling from a public and painful divorce, Thalia Blackwood is looking for a fresh start, somewhere far away from her upside down life. When she’s offered a new job as the sports therapist for a football (soccer) team, she jumps at the chance. This is just what she needs to leave the heartbreak and shame of Manchester behind, trading it in for the warmth and hopeful vibrancy of Madrid.

He was her only desire.

Twenty-three year old Alejo Albarado is rising up the ranks in his career. As the charming forward for the Real Madrid team, Alejo’s life revolves around women, parties, and being a tabloid darling, that is until the new sports therapist joins the team.

Their passion could not be ignored.

What starts out as a strictly professional relationship between Thalia and the young Spanish player, slowly evolves into something more. Much more.

Their relationship was forbidden.

But their combustible chemistry and simmering sexual tension can only go so far—should Thalia give into Alejo’s advances, she’s at risk of not only losing her job, but succumbing to a much younger man will drag her through the spotlight again.

Alejo might be worth that risk.
Unless he breaks her heart in the process.

The Younger Man is a full-length standalone romance. Characters from Love, in English make a cameo in this book, however The Younger Man is intended to be read as a STANDALONE.

This was a refreshing read for me. I read a lot of sports romance but I can't remember reading one base on professional soccer. I love getting a bit of education along with my romance.  This is a forbidden romance based on a hot shot soccer star and his physical therapist.  Add in an almost 20 yr age difference and there is a whole lot that can go wrong with this relationship. 

Thalia is cautious. Her heart has been bruised badly. She moves to a new team for a new start.  Her eyes and her heart are drawn to the young Alejo even though she knows it's wrong.  The two spend some time getting to know each other during Alejo's recovery therapy. Finally, their hearts win out and they become secretly inseparable. 

Thalia still holds back so that her heart stays protected. Ultimately, the heart wins out.  Great way to profess your undying love!  Loved how this story rounded out.  Loved the steamy moments between these two and well as the banter.  

Great read!

It's been a minute since we visited this baseball team.  But Hawk brings us right back in the fold as if we had never left.  I sign of good characters in that as soon as I read the names again, I could remember their stories.  

This one follows BoRe pitcher Hawk and his road to recovery after surgery.  He heads home to his parents ranch, gets caught up int he small town drama and falls head over heels for a woman who has no idea who he is. She just likes him for him.  Through in a group of kids, secrets from past relationships and a literal field of dreams.  Perfect romantic read! 

Loved the chemistry between Hawk and Bellamy.  Loved how Hawk just took her life in stride. Fit himself right in taking care of her and her son like he had always been there.  Loved the ending so much!  

Great addition to the series.  So happy to see this HEA!

I started this journey on a whim! No, really. I did. Now I'm deep into this thing called writing and am loving every single second. I am an avid reader of romance novels and love anything steamy. When I'm not writing, I’m spending time with my husband and 6 dogs. You read that right...6 dogs!
