My Review:

Just Bad Enough part of their BAD series) - Sherrilyn Kenyon and Dianna Love

We meet undercover agent Jeremy Sunn who has the hots for CeCe. But as part of his cover he has a rap sheet a mile long and acts the playboy with a series of women. But since meeting CeCe he wants a real relationship. Unfortunately, she seems to be putting him off because CeCe has secrets of her own. She has ties to criminals that she has been running away from. When CeCe unknowingly hides an important memory disc she and Jeremy must fight a deadly killer who wants it.

Jeremy was a sexy hero who was really dedicated in eliminating the enemy and protecting CeCe .  CeCe was your typical helpless female who needs the strong and sexy heroine to save her all the time!

Leave No Trace

In Leave No Trace Cindy Gerard demonstrates her mastery of the suspense thriller. David Cavanaugh is tired of his undercover work for the CIA. He desperately wants to retire but when a colleague asks Cav to find his missing friend (Carrie Granger) he reluctantly agrees. Cav arrives in Myanmar where he discovers Carrie has been caught up in a bungled arrest. To cover up their mistake the government has thrown her in their ruby mines where she labors as a virtual slave. To free her Cav must pretend to work with the corrupt government in Myanmar. Can Carrie learn to trust him or will this rescue mission end in tragedy for them both?

This was a very fast paced story which I really enjoyed reading with all the explosive action.  You can feel the tension between Cav and Carrie and it was really steamy!  Cav's character was really dashing and Carrie was a great heroine because she's not your typical female (she was kick-ass) and she want toe to toe with the soldiers!

Unstoppable

In Unstoppable Laura Griffin writes a story that is part of her exhilarating Tracers series. This story starts out with action that immediately caught my attention. Gage is a navy SEAL who has been injured. While recovering he is asked by his commanding officer to guard his niece, Dr. Kelsey Quinn. Kelsey is working at an archeological dig where a woman has been shot nearby and there has been a break in. But she believes in her work and knows she can take care of herself. She resents the sexy Quinn `babysitting' her. But when they find fresh, new bones instead of old ones and a secret tunnel both realize that something dangerous is going on. But can they solve the mystery before the killers find them?

Gage was a sexy and hot hero and Kelsey was also another kick-ass heroine.  It was a pleasant surprise to find out what the plot was about! 

4/5

Thanks Maylene from Simon and Schuster Canada for sending me this book to review, greatly appreciated!
