About CASUAL IMPRESSIONS
In this electrifying novel from USA Today Bestselling Author Kennedy Layne, the Safeguard team is coming ever closer to catching an elusive serial killer who might very well be hunting one of their own…
Sawyer Madison has spent the last few months hunting down a sadistic killer. He and his team don’t seem to be any closer to solving this particular case that has hit a little too close to home. Fortunately, they had all served in the Corps. That kind of training and dedication meant none of them considered quitting before the mission was done.
Camryn Novak had spent most of her childhood, and a large part of her adult life, dealing with her overprotective brother. So when an admirer becomes a little too obsessed with her due to her high-profile career, she decides it would be simpler to reach out to someone a little less emotionally invested.
Sawyer never expected to bump into the sister of one of his teammates while traveling on assignment. Women like her were off limits—one shouldn’t mix business with pleasure. One burning touch was all it took to make his good intentions go up in flames. Unfortunately, it won’t just be her brother’s wrath he’s forced to face when an unknown perp targets Camryn—it might very well be the same psychopath they’ve been hunting all along.

So as soon as I put down Three of a
Kind I immediately had to start Double Trouble and I can honestly say the high
standard I was expecting was met. The book kicked off with a short prologue
then jumps right in where we left off.
I do have to
admit I had a moment of doubt when I thought I knew where the story was going
and I was expecting drama central but I was way off and got nothing at all that
I expected. I ended up on the edge of my seat trying to guess what was going on
and the plot twists were so perfect I didn't see them coming.
Of course I
already knew I loved Sienna and Colt and since we were so thoroughly introduced
to them in book 1 I felt like we were old mates. And because the wallflowers
are so tight we got an amazing continuation of the first couple. In fact it
just flows so beautifully it was like the first story just continued from a
different point of view.
The almost cliff-hanger
at the end of this was awesome. I absolutely did not see that coming and it has
me so desperate for Poppy's book I am going to be stalking C.P. Smith like a
crazy person.

I’m that
guy.
Camilla Landry rustles against me, the silky fabric of her overpriced lingerie slipping along my bruised rib. The porcelain perfection of her skin is even more innocent against the colorful ink dotting my own. It’s demure meets damage, pampered meets punctured.
So, yeah, it’s obvious I’m that guy. Dominic Hughes. Her attempt at rebellion. Her bid to see what the other side of the tracks feel like. I’m okay with being used because, from where I’m sitting, the other side of the tracks have never looked so good.

He’s
standing in the doorway, one hand on the sweatpants that hang just below his chiseled
hips and the other leans on the frame. The tattoos that mark his flesh are
vivid against his bare skin, making the blues of his eyes shine.
He flashes
a lopsided smile my way. “Took you long enough.”
“I don’t
drive like a bat out of hell,” I laugh, stepping past him. “Did you shower
already?”
“Yeah. I
smelled like gym floors.”
“As long as
you don’t smell like gym whores,” I say, setting the bags on the table in the
kitchen.
His laugh
is contagious and I feel myself smiling. A set of arms cage me in from behind,
grasping the table on both sides of me. My skin breaks out in a shiver as his
lips find the sensitive spot behind my ear.
His face
buries in the crook of my neck and he takes a long, leisurely breath. “You
smell so good.”
“Keep doing
that,” I say, relaxing my head onto his chest.
“What?”
“Talking
with your mouth against me.”
“You like
this?” he asks all breathily so that each word whispers across my skin.
My eyes
fall closed as I relish in this moment of nothing but him. “No, I love this.”
“Can I tell
you a little secret?”
“As long as
you keep talking, you can tell me whatever you want.”
He
chuckles, dotting kisses up and down my neck. “I love this too, feeling your
body give up the fight of the day and let me take over.” He turns me in his
arms so I’m facing him. “I love that you trust me enough to let your shoulders
sink out of that perfect posture you walk around with.”
As he
reaches up and undoes the elastic in my hair, I watch his features soften. He
moves carefully, unwrapping the tie from the twisted mess in my locks, careful
not to pull.
“There,” he
says, cupping the back of my head through my long tresses, “that’s better.”
“You don’t
like my hair up?”
“Not like
you had it. You look to lunching-y,” he says, wrinkling his nose.
“Lunching-y?”
“Yes,” he
grins.
“You are
too cute.”
“You are
too fucking sexy.”
Reaching
up, I swipe the pad of my thumb over the cut above his eye. He flinches, but
just for a second. “What happened?”
“Bond’s
right hand.”
“I hate
him.”
“So do I,”
he snickers.
“Let’s get
some ice for it.”
He leans
in, his brows tugging together. “Let’s not.” His eyes hood as he takes me in,
his tongue darting out and wetting his lips. My knees weaken, my body humming
with delight at his reaction.
“I want to
take care of you,” I whisper, although that’s really on the backburner now.
“Let me baby you.”
Instead, he
lifts me up and places me on the table. My stomach clenches as he positions
himself between my thighs, my sundress curling at my waist. I ring my legs
around him, pulling him so close that the soft cotton of his sweatpants rubs
against my opening.
He looks
down. “You aren’t wearing panties.”

In this second of the sultry, Western-set Coming Home series from New York Times bestselling
author Harper Sloan, Quinn Davis might finally have a shot at her own
happily-ever-after—but will she let love in, or will she tell it to go
ahead and kiss her boots?
Quinn Davis prefers to live her life quietly. She’s the stereotypical tomboy with two overprotective big brothers who have always been there to protect her, especially from devilishly handsome cowboys with silver tongues. That is, until Tate Montgomery comes riding into town. Their first meeting, however, is far from something out of a fairy tale and only further convinces Quinn that men aren’t worth her time.
The only place Tate Montgomery ever truly felt at home growing up was during the long, sweltering summer months he spent at his Gram and Paw’s farm in Pine Oak, Texas. Now, Tate has returned to his childhood sanctuary seeking a fresh start—but if he’s being entirely honest, he’s not just back for the wranglers and Stetsons. During those summers, Quinn was a friend-turned-young-love who Tate lost when life threw him a curveball and he cut all ties to his past; but all it takes is one glance at the raven-haired beauty he did his best to forget for him to realize just how much he’s been missing….

My Review
About the Author

She has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books, hibachi, tattoos and Game of Thrones. When she isn't writing you can almost always find her with a book in hand.

Being a massive Harper Sloan fan, I always find it almost
impossible to review these books. Not for any other reason than I find it hard
to conceive of anyone not diving into the newest release as soon as it is
released. But I guess I had best try.
Naturally the characters were great and the writing was
flawless. However I wasn’t expecting this one to be quite as sweet as it was.
For a second chance romance it was quite drama light which I really enjoyed.
Quinn was so solid and understanding of everything that had
happened I just adored that she didn’t make unnecessary drama or doubt what she
felt. It just made her seem that much stronger and more self-confident and I
felt like she absolutely made the story sweet.
Not that Tate didn’t hold his own and I seriously liked him.
Although I understood everything he went through to get them here I just
struggled with some of his early actions but that said he did redeem himself.
It was great to catch up with Mav and Leigh and the epilogue
has me so excited for the future of both couples in Clay’s book which can’t
come soon enough.

JORDAN RECLAIMED Excerpt
Copyright © 2017 Scarlett
Cole
“I think it would be
fair to say that I haven’t had a welcome home like that before either,” Jordan
said. He pressed his lips to her forehead and wrapped his arms around her
shoulders.
A
part of her knew she should be embarrassed by the way Jordan manhandled her on
the street. Lord knew that if her father had seen it, he would be in a state of
apoplexy. But she didn’t have it in her to care. It was the most perfect
reunion. She’d worn her favorite cream wool dress, cinched with a brown leather
belt, but underneath it she was wearing new underwear from Victoria’s Secret in
the hope that he might take her back to his place later. It was forward, she
knew, but the last nine days of talking to the deeply thoughtful, and
unintentionally sullen, man who currently had his body pressed up against hers
had her all wound up.
Jordan’s
brow furrowed as he studied her, like he was checking her over for injury.
“Do
you ever really smile?” she asked. “Because I think I saw the glimmer of a
smile when we went on our first date.”
“I
do occasionally,” he replied gruffly
“If
I kiss you again, will you smile for me?”
Jordan
leaned forward and placed his lips right next to her ear. “If you kiss me
again, I might just end up taking you standing up against this pillar. So I
strongly suggest you take that pretty little ass of yours inside before I
change my mind and do it anyway.”
Lexi
shivered as his breath whispered across her skin and his words made her ache in
the places that longed for his touch.
He
reached for her hand and carefully peeled off her glove. Silently, he folded it
and tucked it into her pocket. Then he repeated the process with her other
hand.
She
swallowed as he took her hand, scrambling to regain her control. They needed
small talk, something less . . . flammable. “Are you looking forward to going
inside?” she asked. It had been years since she’d visited the AGO, and when
he’d asked her where she’d like to go, it was the first place she’d thought of.
“Yeah,
I am,” he said, leading her in through the double doors. He leaned his head
toward her again. “I’m really hoping that looking at stuffy old paintings and
relics will help kill the boner you just gave me.”
Praise for JORDAN RECLAIMED…
"I thought that nothing could compete with the love I had for
“The Strongest Steel” written by this author but I was so wrong! “Jordan
Reclaimed” is just as amazing and magical!" —Elena's Book Blog
"And as with any other Scarlett Cole story, she manages to
incorporate humor and good lord the sex scenes are hot enough to melt your
kindle. The woman knows how to pull everything together so perfectly.
Heartache, Love, Sexy Times, and Laughter, what more do you need?" —Tanya
(I <3 Books)
"Once
again Scarlett Cole's beautiful and poignant writing has seduced my mind and
filled my heart with a wide range of emotions. This book is best savored
slowly. The intriguing and well-paced plot kept me on my toes and the
interesting and multi-layered characters made me fall madly and deeply in love
with them." —Selma (Goodreads)
About Scarlett Cole
The tattoo across
my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly
talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why
is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to
live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something
amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and
even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. Born in England,
spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada were I met my own,
personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah,
I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it
works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or
could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.
I’ve wanted to be
a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer
and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now
I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.
