Asking for Trouble
When Beth Bradshaw – the manager of a fashionable bar in the seaside town of Brighton – starts flirting with the handsome Ilya, she becomes a player in a game based purely on sexual brinkmanship. The boundaries between fantasy and reality start to blur as their relationship takes on an increasingly reckless element.
When Ilya’s murky past catches up with him, he’s determined to involve Beth. Unwilling to extricate herself from their addictive games, she finds herself being drawn deeper into the seedy underbelly of Brighton where things, including Ilya, are far more dangerous than she bargained for.

Out of Control
In Behind Closed Doors and Standing in the Shadows, Shannon McKenna introduced the McCloud Brothers: intense, rugged, super-sexy, and deliciously sensual. Now, Davy McCloud is about to meet a woman he can’t trust–or live without . . .
Disillusioned P.I Davy McCloud has learned the hard way not to follow blind impulse when it comes to women. He’d rather play it safe, and keep his life simple, calm and uncomplicated. But he’s prepared to make an exception when Margot Vetter shows up to teach at the gym next door. The luscious, mysterious woman stirs a hunger he hasn’t felt in a long time, as well as a fierce protectiveness he can’t quite explain, expecially when her background check reveals she’s hiding secrets–secrets of the ugly, deadly kind.
Margot is at the end of her rope. It’s bad enough that she’s broke and on the run, framed for a murder she didn’t commit. Now, she’s being terrorized by a malevolent stalker. The only person she dares to turn to is buff, scarily gorgeous Davy McCloud, a man who seems like nothing on earth could intimidate him. But Davy has questions of his own, and the closer she gets to him, the more Margot discovers that she can’t hold herself back from this enigmatic, sensual man in any way.
Neither of them expected passion to flare this quickly–or to drag them into a danger as real as their love. Margot’s past has finally caught up with her. And for Davy McCloud, life is about to get more than complicated . . .
It’s turning deadly . . .

Series: 1st in the “Crazy” series
Romantic suspense is my favorite genre, and Tara Jazen writes it superbly. CRAZY HOT is the first in the “Crazy” series books written by Janzen and a wonderful start to an exciting new world. I liked the characters Regan and Quinn, and the introduction to the complex environment of Steel Street. We also meet Regan’s sister Nikki and Kid who have their own story later in the “Crazy” line books. The men are hot and the suspense is sizzling. If you haven’t started reading this series, you’re missing out. A must read for every lover of romantic suspense!

A friend has been nagging me to read this story and I must say I’m very glad she did. Schyler Crandall has the whole world against her it seems and nobody on her side. After she returns to her hometown of Heaven, she meets the man she always wanted, Cash Boudreaux.
Cash is the bad-boy every woman dreams of. He’s arrogant and determined Schyler will be his and couldn’t possibly be more dangerous for her to love. In a whirlwind of drama, secrets and classic romantic suspense Ms. Brown has made a name for, I will say this is one of her absolute, best books ever. Though it’s not of the new verity, it has made a lasting impression on me and I’m sure it will you too. An excellent must read!
