Product Description

Slow Heat

Lorie O'Clare

As a new trainee at the King family’s bounty-hunting agency, Micah Jones is trying to keep his cool. But his latest assignment — to bring in a night-club owner suspected of money-laundering — heats up fast when he meets the “brains” of the outfit: an irresistibly beautiful bookkeeper who’s resisting arrest. So Micah takes her into custody — by taking her into his powerful arms and not letting go.

Held for questioning but released by police, Maggie O’Malley is still a person of interest — to Micah. And Maggie is interested, too — in his services. With his iron-hard muscles and tough-guy exterior, the Harley-riding bounty hunter is just the man Maggie needs to track down the real crook at the club. A slow-burning attraction ignites a firestorm of insatiable desire — until the secrets of Micah’s past are exposed. Explosive passion now must prove stronger than a history so terrifying it might haunt them forever.

My Review:

Micah Jones is a new trainee at the King's family bounty-hunting agency.  His latest assignment is to bring in the night-club owner suspected of laundering money but when he meets the brainy and beautiful bookkeeper who resists arrest he almost loses his cool.  He takes her into custody and also into his arms and decides he doesn't want to let her go.

Maggie O'Mallery is questioned by the police but they let her go because they don't have any evidence against her.  Maggie hires Micah to track down the real culprit at the club.  A smoldering hot attraction ignites between them that turns into a smoking hot love affair.  Then a secret from Micah's past is discovered and exploited.

Micah is definitely a bad boy who has changed his ways at the end.  He is a wild man with a kinky quirk in the bedroom (Oh Boy one of the love scenes was very kicky and hot at the same time).  Maggie was able to handle herself with the big boys and was able to keep up with them.

4/5

ARC Review: Run Wild [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Run Wild" the 4th book in her Bounty Hunter series by Lorie O'Clare.

Run Wild

Product Description
 
Hot on the trail of a cold-blooded killer, a small-town sheriff risks his life — and his heart — with one sexy partner …

Raised in a family of professional bounty hunters, Natasha King knows the dangers of tracking down fugitives — especially when they’re wanted for murder. But this is no ordinary mission. This time, it’s personal. The suspect is her own long-lost father — and the lawman hunting him down is dangerously close to catching her off-guard …

In all his years as sheriff, Trent Oakley has never seen a woman as strong-willed — or as scorching hot — as Natasha. With her big-city experience and black-belt training, she’s his best chance for tracking down the Trinity Ranch killer. Problem is: Can he trust her? As the trail gets hotter, their attraction burns wilder, and soon Trent’s not sure who’s hunting who. But one thing’s for sure: Natasha is one woman who always gets her man …

My Review:

Natasha King was raised with her cousins Marc and Jake by her aunt and uncle in the bounty hunter family business.  Her mother left when she was little and her dad con artist George King hasn't been around for many years.

She receives a phone call asking if she knows where he father is and when she replies she doesn't know the man hangs up.  The same day she receives a call from Sheriff Trent Oakley from Weaverville asking the same question where is her father.  He also asks her to come to Weaverville if she wants to help her father.  When she arrives in town he informs her that her dad is a suspect in a brutal murder.  As they investigate they both fall in love while trying to keep Natasha alive.

Natasha was a kick ass heroine, strong-willed, pushy and a firecracker.  Trent is like his dad the former Sheriff who knows how to solve a crime and to close the case.  I thought Trent was a over the top Neanderthal who enjoyed man-handling Natasha but a sexy one at that.  I believe he actually enjoyed it!

I highly recommend this series if you enjoy sexy alpha heroes and kick ass heroines with action-packed storylines and gruesome killings.

Get Lucky (The Bounty Hunters) [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Get Lucky" the 2nd book in her Bounty Hunters series by Lorie O'Clare.

From the Back Cover

In the high-risk game of bounty-hunting, one man will raise the stakes — and turn up the heat — higher than ever…

WHEN STRANGERS BECOME LOVERS

Checking into a Colorado ski lodge for some serious downtime, bounty hunter Marc King wants nothing more than to cool off and chill out. But then he meets London Brooke. She’s one of the hottest women Marc’s ever met, and the sparks between them could melt the Rockies. But this beautiful, intelligent, and beguiling stranger is hiding a secret from Marc that could get them both killed…

DESIRE CAN TURN DEADLY 

London knows she can trust a man like Marc. But how can she tell him about the mysterious package she receives — and the photos that threaten to expose her past? With time running out, London has no choice but to draw Marc into a dangerous world of blackmail and revenge. As a professional, Marc can’t refuse her. As a man, he can’t resist her. But the deeper he falls, the deadlier the game. And if he doesn’t play his cards right, he could lose London forever…

My Review:

Her parents were always on the run after completing a scheme so London Brooke grew up in chaos. So her  reaction to her living out of a suitcase childhood is stability in one place. Thus she works at the Elk Ski Lodge in Aspen, Colorado.

Bounty hunter Marc King arrives at the Ski Lodge for some needed respite. He and London are attracted to one another when they first meet at the front desk. They begin a tryst, but soon afterward each receives packages from a stranger observing both of them. The pair shares what they know including her family's occupation as they fear their families may be in peril from an unknown dangerous adversary, whose motive is unclear to them.

The book is very fast paced since the first time Marc and London meet till the last page of the book!

I thought "The Game" the bad guys are playing is kind of strange and very unreal and unbelievable!

4/5
