'Conquering Zeus' is part of the 'SEALs on Fire' Anthology 

"Getting in the party mood for a weekend away with his SEAL teammates is no easy deal for "Zeus" Calderon. He's hung up on a woman he saved from terrorists months ago, but he should be able to forget a gutsy blonde reporter who showed resilience and humor under fire. Shouldn't he?

Kim Stansfield got the instant hots for the hunky Navy SEAL who led her out of harm's way—and she's got proof Zeus feels the same about her. He’s stubborn, but she's devised a plan to conquer him.

When she shows up in Key West and surprises him on the beach, Zeus learns that once in a lifetime a man meets a woman he can't forget—and every day without her is no easy day."  ~ From Goodreads

I love a good love story! And Zeus and Kim had one, what I also love is when a hero is naked a better part of the book. ;) Seriously, very comfortable with his body Zeus, spent the first 65% of the book butt ass naked, except for the occasional condom, and I loved it, especially how slightly uncomfortable it made Kim. I loved that Zeus had rescued her before and couldn't get him mind off her, it was both hot and so sweet!

Cerise Deland has created quite the pair with Zeus and Kim, both smart, brave and gutsy! Zeus a hot mexican american, big as a god guy who had a tender spot of one bold reporter was a joy to read! As was Kim, can't find one fault in her, I loved the fact she was ill, which brought forth the protective side of Zeus, as it was under control with medication it gave her softness that her tough-as-nails attitude needed.

The romance was addictive, seeing Zeus see an opening to swoop in and make her love him, and Kim worrying he only wanted a fling caused yummy misunderstandings and also made the romance more hot! I also loved the epilogue, it was a sweet ending to the hot beginning.

Did I mention Zeus is naked over half of the book? I though you should know. Also look at the cover, absolutely yummy!

'Touching Ghost' is part of the 'SEALs on Fire' Anthology 

"SEAL Ren "Ghost" Ramsey never expected sparks to fly when he meets up with his childhood friend, Dr. Sadie Ballew while on leave in Key West. He's surprised to discover she's successful, sexy, and divorced. Sadie had always been too good for the likes of him, a son of an alcoholic and slated to become no better. He should keep her at arm's length, but he wants nothing more to burn up the sheets with the sassy lady she's become.

Afraid to let him go off on another dangerous mission without knowing how she truly feels, Sadie needs to find the confidence to make the leap from friends to lovers."  ~ From Goodreads

I love friends to lovers stories! I will always have a soft spot of them and Touching Ghost was hot addition to the group! I loved how Sadie was Ren's only source of light during his childhood years and how much he adored her even if he was afraid to do anything about the growing attraction. Sadie though is not and she's about to speak her peace and see what happens, either Ren rejects her or they can finally become more than friends.

I really enjoyed reading Sadie, she was the sweet girl next door and a smart doctor to boot - and when with Ren she developed a sexy sensual side. She made the sweet side to the story very believable. Now Ren, the big, bad and built SEAL was all against hurting Sadie which he reasoned his navy career would do, and him using that speech as pillow talk sure fires some sparks courtesy of Sadie! I love a girl who doesn't cower back!

The romance was sweet but in a very erotic romance way. What am I saying? Okay let me be specific: I loved the sweet love story of Ren and Sadie, the desire, the love and the respect, but the sex was awesome too! ;)

Another top notch SEAL story from SEALs on Fire Anthology!

'Melting Ice' is part of the 'SEALs on Fire' Anthology 

"Syndra Banks should be thrilled by an invitation to join SEAL team Arapahoe in Key West for a wild good time. Instead the text summons from Ice pisses her off. Why? Because he calls and she goes running, without fail, every damn time. And now she doesn't have a choice. If Syn wants to get her personal life moving forward she has to see him again in person to break it off.

Sometimes getting what you want is as simple as reaching out, grabbing hold and not letting go."  ~ From Goodreads

Nicole Austin delivers a one hot erotic romance read with Melting Ice! I haven't read any other books of hers but I want to now! The characters were believable and emotionally vulnerable, and that mixed with some extremely hot bedroom scenes was addictive little mix, I devoured these 66 pages in no time at all and was curious for more!

Ice was one cool customer, on the outside, the sharpshooter was unfazed by what ever the elements or situation, except when it was about Syn. Having danced around in SEAL relationship for 8 years Ice wants to finally not re-enlist the navy after over 20 years of service to settle down with Syn, he's planning to pop the question when in Key West and is disturbed to the core when Syn acts like she's calling the quits. I loved Ice he was so composed only to be so rattled inside, and his exit sure was a memorable!

Syn's plan of one last fair well day together, sights, hot sex and then a goodbye isn't what she wants but she can't see another way about it, she can't take him disappearing for months on end only to show up for few days before called back. I really loved Syn and rooted for her to be strong even though it was evident she was over the moon about Ice.

The romance was hot, these two totally synced in bed, the sex was way creative and I loved that Syn was the one who made Ice lose control, especially when it happened in the bedroom, whoa boy! I especially loved the ending ( spoiler ahead ) where they rush Ice to the helicopter for another mission and she's trying to call it quits and he's trying to propose while his team is dragging him to the copter and neither hearing each other over the noise. Priceless! Loved it!

REVIEW - DAGGER'S EDGE

"The romance between Mia and Dagger was interesting from the beginning, seduction quickly turned from lust to full on fuckfest ( hey, Dagger's words, not mine ;) ), these two were such a good match body and soul and Dagger having second thoughts gave me the scares! How rude, but like all good romance there is a happy ending, but what it is I won't tell ya, you'll just have to read it."

'Dagger's Edge' is part of the 'SEALs on Fire' Anthology 

"Though well hidden, deep scars from Dean "Dagger" Gregory's troubled past have influenced each important decision he's ever made, including joining the military and keeping his distance from his best friend's sister, Mia Benson, the only woman he's ever loved.

But after Dagger's friend strong-arms him into checking on the feisty redhead during his leave in Key West, he finds himself under sexual attack and with no desire—or willpower—to retreat."  ~ From Goodreads

The story from best friend's sister to a lover isn't a fast one and after twenty years of dancing around the subject Mia finally makes Dagger gave and that causes a landslide of doubt and fear of repeating his dad's mistakes in Dagger. So the sex is hot but what is he hurts Mia, like his dad did his mom when he took a walk, a permanent one. What's a SEAL to do signs up for another ten years with the navy or try if the perfection he's found with Mia will last a life time?

Poor Dagger, he was so out of his comfort zone when Mia decided to make a last effort in seducing him, of course the past twenty years he'd been hiding his desire wasn't helping. I liked Dagger I really did, he was quite the creative guy in the art of making love ( and I would have hoped few more explicit pouts in bed described ;) ) but he's fear of hurting Mia almost costing their relationship, or a budding one had me worried, bad Dagger!

Oh I loved Mia! Take charge girl, smart as hell, witty as fox and not afraid to go after what she wants, all the traits of a great heroine! By far one of my favorite heroines in this anthology!

The romance between Mia and Dagger was interesting from the beginning, seduction quickly turned from lust to full on fuckfest ( hey, Dagger's words, not mine ;) ), these two were such a good match body and soul and Dagger having second thoughts gave me the scares!

REVIEW - JONESIN' FOR ACTION

'Jonesin' for Action' is part of the 'SEALs on Fire' Anthology 

"Losing half a leg hasn't slowed down Aiden Jones. He can't deploy as a SEAL anymore, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying life as he always has. The one challenge left is to take a woman to bed. It's not his ability he questions, but his appeal. Can a woman overlook his damaged leg?

I'm just lovin' these Seals on Fire novellas! Jonesin' for Action is another hit! I haven't read anything by Samantha Cayto before, but I did love her ability to take something as heavy as amputated ex-SEAL, a big bad navy SEAL and not have him wallow in what he can't do, but trying to see if he can have what he used to - and still make one very hot erotic romance!

I loved Jonesin', he was sexy in all the right ways, but I also loved the side of him that was afraid of a woman seeing his leg and the more tender side of him. I also loved how he was shocked himself how Marissa handled him and his insecurities. Talking of Marissa, a great emotional heroine, she was funny, sexy and sensitive, her brazen attitude made the chemistry between them sizzling!

The romance was all kinds of hot! After they got settled a little the sex was real sizzling, and this ex-SEAL sure likes to do a little spanking. ;) What I loved too was how these two met and begun falling for each other it was the sweet side to the hot desire that they had in the bedroom.

"Jagger’s ready to cast off the weight of his SEALs responsibility, if only for a few days. Except his mom's a pro with guilt which has him standing in the airport waiting for his childhood friend. Maybe a quick lunch, a fast game of catch up and he'd be out the door and on his way to the bar where his teammates were waiting.

Alexa's eager to see Ty again if only to prove her silly girlhood crush was just that, a crush. Except when she finally sees him all those old feelings come rushing back combined with a woman’s needs that leave her trembling with desire."  ~ From Goodreads

I think I've found a new favorite erotic romance author! Allie Standifer sure can write them hot! This short erotic romance sure got me hot and bothered - we got oh so hot Ty getting the hots for his 'little-sister-figure' and getting all caveman possessive about it, talk about SIZZLING! I was hook, line and sinker into this story.

Loved Ty's possessive streak like mad, come on, when you got a six foot 'n' some guy packed with muscle, basically hauling you to a hotel room to fuck you senseless and ruin all other men for you, you'd be hot and bothered too. ;) Of course Ty's plan of getting Alexa to see him as a future husband and not a brother is so amazingly hot, but add into that Alexa life long love affair with idea of Ty makes for such a yummy read of lust, desire a smoking hot sex! I'm still all flustered about this book and it's been two days!

The romance was immensely hot, I loved Ty's possessiveness ( yes this is the third mention because it was so yummy ;) ), his dirty talk in bed and his insatiable lust for Alexa. Of course without the love story as the base it wouldn't have been near as powerful rush - Alexa having loved him all her life thinking this was one time thing to get him off her mind, and Ty planning a forever was both sweet and incredibly sexy. * sigh * Now I need to get more Allie Standifer books!
