This is a very short novella or very short story. It takes place after the novel  Dangerous Passion which I read years ago. It would be very helpful to have read that book first. It’s not really a stand alone type of read.

Manuel and Victoria are a married couple living on a tropical island somewhere. They are very devoted to each other and happy. Their life is pleasant and safe which is a huge thing for them, especially Manuel. See, Manuel is really Vicktor (Drake) Drakovich and Victoria is really Grace. They had to change their names due to Drake’s former occupation. He was an arms broker/dealer. A very successful and feared one. He faked his and Grace’s deaths after an assassination attempt.

Grace throws Drake a birthday party with some new friends on their island and it goes very well. Drake wants to get Grace a Christmas gift that she’ll enjoy. She doesn’t care for flashy expensive things, so it is difficult for Drake to pick something. He finally decides on a trip to Sydney where he has never been involved with the arms trade before. He feels it will be safe for them.

I leave the story ending for you to read if you like. I love Lisa Marie Rice and enjoyed the epilogue of Drake and Grace. There’s a juicy sex scene and a dramatic ending that Rice writes so well.

Series-One Night With Sole Regret #0.5
Reviewed by Kay

This novella is a prequel to the series One Night With Sole Regret.

Lindsey and Vanessa are attending a charity benefit concert for a little girl with cancer in their hometown in Idaho. It is being given by Sole Regret, the rock band. Both of the girls are big fans of the band. Lindsey has a crush on the band in general but two of the rockers are on her “fuck-it” list. What this means is she’d get a free pass to sleep with them if she had the chance, no matter what her relationship status was at that time. Needless to say, due to their obsession with the band and the weather, she gets her chance.

This was a B rating for up until Lindsey slept with every member of the band, the tour bus driver and her best friend. I love Olivia Cunning and I love this series, but this one was kind of skanky for me. The “Eww factor” was huge for me with this. I will continue to read this series and can’t wait for the next book due out in April.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Kiss Me, I'm Irish
I wanted so badly to finish this book in time to review it for St. Patrick’s Day!  And then Spring Break happened.  Well, first the preparing for Spring Break and the four children I’d have home all day happened.  At that point I thought, “Well, I’ll just finish the Jill Shalvis story and review that one.”  Then school actually got out and my reading time disappeared.  So I didn’t even finish the one short story!  I’m so sorry!  But, hey, I’m half way through the Jill Shalvis story and really enjoying it!

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I’ll tell you about my favorite Irish character ever.  Roarke.  Yeah, I know, you probably already know Roarke. 
Naked in Death (In Death, #1)
Naked in Death, featuring Eve Dallas (tough New-York-City-of-the-future homicide detective) and Roarke (I’m-so-rich-one-name-is-enough.)    How awesome are these two?  The 26th book in their series was released last month!  But I think it’s not enough to read these books.  You need to listen on audio.  I feel like I’d recognize these characters if I heard them talking in another room.  The narrator is awesome.  The stories are awesome.  Roarke’s Irish accent is awesome. 

So, if you need an excuse, hey, it’s St. Patrick’s day.  Get yourself an audio copy of Naked in Death and find something productive to do* while you listen, because if you’re like me, you’ll just want to keep listening, listening, listening.  

*things I do while listening to the In Death series: laundry, house cleaning, sewing, quilting, crocheting, walking, exercising, driving around town.  I’ve been known to drag out my to-do list just so I can listen longer!
