Blurb
I’ll make her mine, if she doesn’t kill me first.

Bastian

I came from nothing and became known as the Reaper. The most feared CIA assassin in the business. Then I retired, faked my death, and now spend my time running my casino.

But there’s one part of my past I can’t let go—the tiny female assassin who’s vowed to kill me.

We were mentored by the same man, a man we both considered a father, but there’s nothing brotherly about what I feel for Lark.

Now, we’re enemies and she won’t rest until I’m dead.

I won’t rest until she’s mine.

Lark
I have one mission—kill Bastian Thorne.

I lost everything when my parents were murdered. Until a grizzled CIA agent took me in and molded me into a deadly assassin.

Then Bastian executed him.

My plan: infiltrate Bastian’s luxurious life and take him down. But he proves hard to kill and forces me to face an ugly, tangled truth.

Secrets from my past collide with my blood-drenched present. I find myself in the sights of a dangerous killer. One with twisted reasons for wanting me dead.

Now, the only man I can trust is my enemy.

But I know getting close to Bastian is the biggest risk of all.

MY REVIEW


Lark has one central focus - kill Bastian, the man who killed their mentor/father figure. Considering she and Bastian are both former assassins, it might not be as easy as she's hoping. And even less so when he drops a revelation on her, one that has her rethinking everything and realizing her feelings for Bastian might be a lot less contempt and much more like love. Being back in Bastian's orbit is making her long for something like happiness, the kind that can be found by teaming up together to take down the man responsible for the worst loss of their lives.

Bastian's made a good life for himself in Vegas, but something's always been missing. When that missing piece storms back into his life, he's determined to make sure Lark stays. He doesn't want to hurt her, but telling her the truth about their old mentor is going to hurt her the way it hurt him when he found out. It was necessary she know the truth, and now they can find the person really responsible. Together. And once that's done, he just needs to convince her to stay, that they can have something neither ever imagined they could have.

One protective alpha down for the count! Bastian always knew Lark was the one, but their situation wasn't exactly conducive to happy ever afters. Once she came after him, though, it was game over, there was no way he was letting her escape again. Lark resisted, but in the end Bastian finally got through to her heart, which was what he really wanted all along. The men of Unsanctioned are fierce, tough alphas on the outside, but soft on the inside only for the women they love. What a combination - suspense and action, two leads with pasts that left scars on their psyches but have the kind of emotional and physical connection that couldn't be denied for very long. Bastian and Lark are perfect for each other and I loved reading as they finally acknowledged their true feelings for each other and found their happy ever after.

My parents are to blame for my insatiable need to mix action, adventure, and romance. When I was young, I raided my mother’s romances and my father’s action adventure thrillers. I love being exhilarated and left just a little breathless. I’m a sucker for that moment when the team is walking in slow motion, shoulder-to-shoulder heading off into battle.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
