NetGalley REVIEW - Vengeance (Valentine Shepherd, #1) by Shana Figueroa

Vengeance
Valentine Shepherd, #1 
by Shana Figueroa 
Release Date: September 6th 2016 
Publisher: Forever & Forever Yours | Grand Publishing 
Genre: Romantic Suspense 

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Vengeance (Valentine Shepherd, #1) . . .
Explosive action, increasing body count, all the way/around the way/any way sexual encounters. P-l-o-t. Plot. And more plot. There was a huge does of wtf, really, are you kidding me, oh no, say that again. I just can’t tell you the details. You have to read this one for yourself. Did that really happen? No! You have to be pulling my leg.

You step in the pages with a mindset that this will be your everyday romantic suspense. But when you reach the end and come out the other end you will say that I got me a serious romantic SUSPENSE. You are not certain that who you think is what really what you thought. And what you thought should be what you think. You are taken there and then further. You have to put the brakes on and slow down to make sure what you read was indeed what you read.

You have to meet these characters yourself. Because they are characters. An antihero with serious cargo on board. A heroine that has issues with getting things right. When I got to the end I was so caught up in all that I read that I almost forgot where I started with Val and Max. You be the judge.

Not every Valentine is a saint . . .

Corruption. Greed. Illicit sex. Murder. Private investigator Valentine Shepherd thinks she's seen it all, and her strange ability to glimpse the future gives her an edge no one else in the world has. But when her fiancé is killed trying to exonerate his client, billionaire Max Carressa, Val makes it her personal mission to bring the people responsible to justice, no matter the cost. Convinced the two men are linked by more than attorney-client privilege, she enlists Max's help in her investigation and gets more than she bargained for . . .

On the run, Val and Max must uncover who wants them dead and why. The answer leads them to a conspiracy that has Val herself at its center. She doesn't understand how or why, but time is running out to expose the truth and escape the danger she knows is coming . . .

OHHHHH Myyyy. That accent. That face. That body. That oooooooooooogasim.  All in on package before you. I gotta say Sebastian Deveau has moved up very, very high on my book boyfriend listing. He can be my private fighting Frenchman. Never deny him. He can enforce anything he wants. Any time he wants. Any where he wants.  Damn now that is saying some things clearly.

Sexy, hot, looking for love or not. Hot, body melting sexy in inappropriate places. Sebastian has command on the ice. He personal life maybe a different story. Until he finds the one that he may want just a bit more than a night or two. The only thing is that she has no love for hockey players. NONE.   Things begin to swirl around and then life does what it does and the past comes back and bite hard. 

I have to say this . . . I want more Seattle Winterhawks.

All's fair in love and hockey. . .

As his team's enforcer on the ice, Sebastian Deveau is America's favorite fighting Frenchman. But he's just as likely to get into trouble off the ice--especially when it comes to women.

Shayne Beckford is so over hockey. It ruined her parents' marriage. It spoiled her brother's dreams. And let's not even talk about her college boyfriend . . . So when Sebastian Deveau walks into her brother's gym, she has no idea who he is. All she knows is that he's one gorgeous man with the sexiest accent she's ever heard. And since she never has to see him again, she lets him give her the best orgasm of her life right on top of the gym's dryer.

But Sebastian isn't going to let this one-night stand get away so easily. He fights for what he wants, even if it takes fighting a little dirty . . .

NetGalley REVIEW - Wanted (FBI Heat, #3) by Marissa Garner

Wanted
FBI Heat, #3 
by Marissa Garner 
Publication Date: September 6th 2016 
Published by: Forever & Forever Yours | Grand Central Publishing
Genre: Romantic Suspense 

From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Wanted (FBI Heat, #3) . . .
Kat has a problem on her hands. There are things not quite adding up at work. The one person to help happens to be part of her past. Part of a past she just cut and bailed on.

Dillion was that past that Kat left behind, but know he is the key to helping fix the future of millions of lives. With the lives of millions at stake and Kat doing the asking he comes in and works to save the day. But of course there are obstacles in their way.

I did not walk in on an on-going plotline. I did not walk in on an ongoing series connection, that I would have felt a loss of information. I did get me a second chance at the one romance with some dramatic suspense and intrigue. I got a complete start to finish with not cliff hangers, not added cast that have to know what their story was, and not muddled confusion.  I did get me an honest to goodness romantic suspense. Why did she leave? Why did he not follow/fight? Why was this happening? Where did it all start? How are these things connected?

Pick it up if you are looking for a simple down to earth romantic suspense. One that you don’t have to have all the proceeding books in the series read to follow.

For San Diego’s elite FBI agents, risking their lives is standard procedure when it comes to capturing the city’s most dangerous criminals—but falling in love is the greatest risk of all.

Kat MacKenzie knows something is terribly wrong at the Diablo Beach Nuclear Power Plant, but she can’t figure out if it’s computer error, equipment malfunction, or human sabotage. Unfortunately, the only person she can trust with the problem is the man she left at the altar two years ago. If Dillon doesn’t already hate her, he surely will once he discovers why she abandoned him.

The last person he expects to call him is the woman who broke his heart. But FBI Special Agent Dillon O’Malley can’t ignore Kat’s plea for help—not when national security may be at stake. As enemies become clear and catastrophe threatens, can Kat and Dillon put the past behind them to save the day and secure their future?
