The Book Girl

From the back of the book:

THE ONE WOMAN HE COULDN’T HAVE WAS THE ONLY WOMAN HE DESIRED…

She may be aloof, and more pretty than gorgeous, but Alani Rivers is the kind of woman a hot-blooded mercenary can’t forget, no matter how hard he tries. So when Jackson Savor wakes up next to the naked, sleeping beauty – with no memory of what happened – he knows he’s been drugged…even if Alani doesn’t.

After she was kidnapped. Alani vowed never to trust another man again. Still, something about this strong, sexy hero with the tender touch makes her want to believe him. As Jackson hunts down a mysterious intruder, he swears he’ll move heaven and earth to keep Alani safe. But what really happened that night? And will the truth bring them closer than they ever thought possible – or put Alani squarely in harm’s way again?

SAVOR THE DANGER, the third book in the Men Who Walk the Edge series, is an fun and fast ride. I enjoyed the romance between Alani and Jackson. I loved the way Jackson woke up in the beginning not knowing what had happened between him and Alani. She held the power as she told him all of the things they had done together. Other than that once instance though, I felt that Alani didn’t have much of a backbone. There were a couple of instances where I thought she was going to stand her ground, but she always backed down and did what Jackson, Dare, or Trace wanted her to do. I also didn’t care for the fact that we didn’t know who the big bad was until the very end. I wish that we would have known who they were up against like we did in TRACE OF FEVER. Jackson was fantastic. His laid back behavior was so different from Trace and Dare. I enjoyed how each man was unique and how they were alike. His relationship with Arizona was an interesting insight into who Jackson really was. I liked that we got to see all of his sides. The addition of Arizona and Spencer was great. I can’t wait for their story. Even though I didn’t care for a couple of things, I did thoroughly enjoy this book and can’t wait for more.

From the back of the book:

CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE OF VENGEANCE AND DESIRE

Undercover mercenary Trace Rivers loves the adrenaline rush of a well-planned mission. First he’ll earn the trust of corrupt businessman Murray Coburn, then gather the proof he needs to shut down the man’s dirty smuggling operation. It’s a perfect scheme – until Coburn’s long-lost daughter saunters in with her own deadly plan for revenge.

With a smile like an angel and fire in her eyes, Priscilla Patterson isn’t who she seems to be. But neither is the gorgeous bodyguard who ignites all her senses. Joining forces to plot Coburn’s downfall, Priss and Trace must fight the undeniable heat between them. For one wrong move, one lingering embrace, will expose them to the wrath of a merciless opponent…

The second book in the “Edge of Honor” series is explosive, fast paced, and sexy. I loved Dare, from WHEN YOU DARE, and thought there was no way Trace could be better. I was WRONG! Trace is an amazing character. He cares so much about other people and does what he has to ensure their safety. From the first scene between him and Priss this is evident. He isn’t sure if she is good or bad, but he does what he needs to do to protect her. It is very sexy! Priss (the only thing I didn’t like about this book is her name – It drove me nuts for the entire book) is a fascinating character too. Her need for revenge drives her and she isn’t about to let Trace do anything for her. One of the things I like most about this book is that Trace is rescued by Priss at one point. She keeps a calm head and takes care of business! Usually the heroine is being saved by the hero and I loved the role reversal. (Trace rescues her at one point too) TRACE OF FEVER moves at such a quick pace and there isn’t a dull moment. I can’t wait to read SAVOR THE DANGER featuring Jackson. He is still a mystery even after his appearance in this story.
