Wicked and Dangerous by Shayla Black and Rhyannon Byrd
In Wicked All Night by Shayla Black, Rachel is in a new place in her life after her divorce. After a marriage that left her wanting both physically and emotionally, Rachel is looking to let loose and have some fun.
When Decker is (mistakenly) hired by an unknown man to kill a woman, the minute he sees Rachel’s picture, he wants her. When no one else will listen to Decker, he decides it’s up to him to protect Rachel and find out the identity of who hired the hit.
Decker does not expect the feelings that Rachel arouses in him…with her he feels like he’s finally in the place where he should be, with who he should be with. But will it last? Will Rachel still want him when she finds out who he really is and why Decker was initially with her?
Shayla gives us a whirlwind, very hot and sexy romance in Wicked All Night. Even though Rachel and Decker just met, it was like they had known each other forever. Although Rachel and Decker got together very quickly, the feelings they experienced were very real. Shayla gives us enough background on Rachel so that we can understand her while Decker is a little more mysterious!
Wicked All Night is a fast paced novella and the length of it is perfect for the story that needs to be told. With a great combination of sexiness and mystery you won’t be disappointed!
In Make Me Yours by Rhyanna Byrd, Scott Ryder is now a sheriff’s deputy…a much different life than the one he led as a special ops agent under Lily’s father. Lily has always loved Scott…the rest of the special ops team she frequently saw were more like brother’s to her, but there was something special about Scott. When Scott up and leaves one day with no word to Lily, she was devastated and no man could measure up to Scott.
When Lily manages to escape after a terrorist kills her father, she seeks help from the one person she knows is capable of protecting her – Scott. Lily still loves Scott and is craving his touch. Scott is shocked when he discovers Lily on his doorstep. He feels nothing brotherly towards her, but is convinced now as he was before that he is no good for her and she can do better. But he does know that he can and will protect her.
Lily is determined to have Scott, especially if she doesn’t have much time left. Resistance is futile for Scott, and not only does he want to protect Lily, he wants to claim her as his.
Can Lily and Scott survive the danger of a terrorist on the hunt? Will Scott finally be able to see Lily for the woman she is, the woman who wants him, and accept that he is perfect for her?
Make Me Yours is another fast paced, very hot adventure! Lily and Scott quickly get to know each other very intimately and Rhyanna writes these scenes very well! They have known each other in the past, Scott has fought the attraction to Lily, so the quick to sex is appropriate for this novella. Outside of the sex though there is a lot of suspense that Rhyanna manages to draw us into and wonder how Lily and Scott can outsmart a terrorist.
I loved both of these characters. Lily in particular because she truly loves Scott and has her heart set on being with him however he will have her. Instead of seeming desperate, this just screams a woman in love. Lily is a strong, independent woman, but knows when to ask for help. Scott for whatever reason never though he was good enough for Lily. Rhyanna does give us some background on Scott, enough that will help the reader to better understand him.
If you are looking for a fast paced, very sexy romantic suspense, you’ll love Make Me Yours!
I liked both of these stories so much I’ve bought the book for a friend!
