Win No Mercy by Lori Armstong in Audio ~

Mercy Gunderson is a straight shooter with a hard edge. On medical leave from the Army, she returns home to South Dakota, which isn’t much safer for her than Iraq. Arriving just after the death of her father, it is up to Mercy to decide what to do with the family ranch. Trying to deal with her irresponsible sister and nephew and feeling guilty that she didn’t make it home soon enough to see her father one last time; Mercy is suddenly pulled into the local community when the body of a Native American boy is found on her land. But nobody seems to be doing anything about it, especially not the local law enforcement.

When tragedy strikes again, Mercy is ready to throw all her energy into her own investigation, and she’s out for revenge. As she digs up the truth behind the shocking crimes, Mercy uncovers dark and dangerous secrets and must race to stop a killer before everything she’s fought for is destroyed forever.

When you have no alternative, then you call in L.O.S.T. Because with the Last Option Special Team, it’s do or die. . . .

It’s Jax Cassidy’s first mission for L.O.S.T.—one that will give the former cop who went rogue a chance to prove herself. Her assignment: gain the trust of assassin Marcus Cross . . . eliminate him . . . then take down Marcus’s mentor, Joseph Lazarus, a man with a bold eye on the White House. But the woman who’s known by her team for being a femme fatale succumbs to passion, only to discover Cross’s deadly secret. He’s a vampire, and Joseph Lazarus is his creator.

Left for dead by his platoon in the violent hills of Afghanistan, Special Ops sniper Marcus Cross was given a second chance at life. His newly heightened skills make him the perfect killing machine, and as Lazarus’s right-hand man, he’s quickly rising to the top of his dark empire, purging enemies with speed and precision. Only when dangerous beauty Jax Cassidy is sent to bring him in does he begin to question Lazarus’s motives and his own actions. But when Jax’s life is threatened by the one thing that can destroy them both, Marcus must make a bitter choice—her death or his.

Burned by a failed marriage, former FBI agent Marc Rossi wants back in the investigation game with no emotional strings attached.

The daughter of an infamous fugitive, Devyn Sterling has survived betrayal only to find that her mother has mysteriously disappeared. When her search uncovers secrets, lies, and threats, Devyn and Marc must trust each other when every instinct says they can't . . . and a terrorist wants to make sure they won't live to try.

Oracle's Moon by Thea Harrison ~

Oh, Thea Harrison. You have created this world, and this whole race that I just want to be absorbed in. Can't you write just a LITTLE faster? Pretty please, for me?

LOL, you might be getting the picture of how very, very much I loved this book...
Oracle's Moon is the 4th full length installment (there was one novella) in the Elder Races series by Thea Harrison. I loved, loved the first book, Dragon Bound. Still love reading about the characters from it, Dragos & Pia...the next two were good, but Serpent's Kiss, the 3rd book just wasn't AWESOME. Don't get me wrong, I love the whole world, but it just wasn't SUPER...Oracle's Moon IS.

And in a different kind of way...Grace Andreas is the Oracle of Louisville, and old and respected title in the Elder Races. It's a power that has passed down through females of her line through the ages. Upon the death of her sister, Grace inherited it. Along with her infant nephew, and her 4 year old niece. Grace doesn't have TIME to deal with Elder Races BS ~ she's got two small children depending on her, a bad leg she's still learning to deal with, a house that's beginning to fall down around her, medical and school bills stacking up, and and...it just continues on. When she's put in the position of being the Oracle to the Wyr, Khalil, a second generation Djinn, one of the most powerful creatures alive, promises to keep her children from harm.
Grace doesn't realize it, but to Khalil, this is a bond of a lifetime. Djinn are dead serious about their bargains and promises. Grace and Khalil at first do NOT like one another, at ALL. He is arrogant, and has little use for humans...except for the children. He loves Max and Chloe. He visits w/ them, plays with them, reads w/ them...at first Chloe is scared, but as she watches him with the children, she realizes he would never harm them.

This story is so complex and full of life I cannot even BEGIN to do it justice...I will just try to tell you my feelings on it. Khalil and Grace did not fall in instant love, they didn't even gradually ease into love ~ they worked on it, thought about it. They each had so many things in their lives that were obstacles to not only being together, but to just being happy ~ I absolutely loved the journey we take in this book. Grace grows and learns to harness and control herself not only as the Oracle, but as a Mother to her sisters children, Khalil learns what it truly means to love someone other than yourself so much you're willing to give up everything for them.

Oh, and the children! Max and Chloe were gems. Perfectly written for their age..., that Chloe was a little spitfire!

GET THIS BOOK!! You are so missing out if you don't!

WINNERS ~ are you one?

Seeing Blind by Katie Allen

Cassie has moved to the small town of Napping to just lead a quiet life...she's made some friends, and is friendly with her neighbors, and loves her two horses.  And the fact that she can walk into town and no one looks and knows ~ knows that she's psychic.  It's been over 2 yrs. since her last vision...and she likes that just fine...and then it hits her.  The vision of a dead woman ~ a woman she knows, and the vision hits while she's driving and a neighbor witness's it.  Cassie tries to blow it off, but when she rushes into town to check on the woman who the vision had been about, none other the Sheriff of Napping catches her there, unaware. 

Sheriff Henry Tyson "Ty" has been the object of so many of Cassie's late night fantasies and dreams.  He's sexy and alpha, and how is she going to tell him that she's had a vision of this woman dying?  WILL she tell she's had a vision? 

So my friend Lillie suggested I read this, since we've got this MAD love for Dream Man by Linda Howard, and any book that even remotely can come CLOSE to it we want to read.  I won't say this did ~ it had some of the same basic elements, Cassie being a psychic, trying to run from her past bad experiences, Ty being a cop and an alpha hottie, visions of upcoming death...but the writing style is entirely different.  And the story is totally all it's own. 

I really enjoyed the story between Ty and Cassie ~ I thought it so cute that even though Ty was such an Alpha he could only steal glances and stare at Cassie.  The whole town knew about it, but he wouldn't ask her out.  I loved the chemistry between the two...HAWT sex.  What I could have and would have liked to have seen more of was development of the psychic visions Cassie had.  She really only has the one, and we don't ever truly get an explanation as to why it was THAT vision.  It just seemed a little week.  I liked the way she played it as a plot device of contention between Ty and Cassie, but not the vision itself. 

Overall, really like the book, and the writing.  I'm about to buy another book by this author, Breaking The Silence.  I'll let you know how I like it!

Description

Sammael–call him Sam–was an angel once. An Angel of Death. But the dispassionate, watch-from-above thing just wasn’t working for him when it meant watching evil torture innocent souls day in and day out. It might have cost him his wings, but these days he gets to apply the direct method on the bad guys. Problem is, what’s making his life difficult is a bad girl…
Seline O’Shaw needs protection, and with the hounds of hell on her tail, she’s not going to quibble too hard about where she gets it. Sam’s virtue is questionable, but he’s smoking hot, massively powerful, and owes her a favor. So what if she’s getting a little case of angel lust? There are some damn deadly sins after her hide…

I have some MAD love for Cynthia Eden's writing, ya'll!!
