Ellie works for the Serafina casino in Las Vegas. Her lover, Jay also works there. They live together and everything is going great until Ellie’s past catches up with her. After that phone call, she packs a bag, leaves Jay a break up note, turns in her resignation letter and makes strides to move on. Her boss is suspicious as are her friends and her lover.
As her past continues to catch up with, her new group of friends try to figure out the pieces together on why she would disappear from a life that seems pretty sweet.

Ellie has to protect the people she cares about and can’t let them get drug into her former life. But when she has to accept their help, she just hopes that she can keep them safe and that they’ll still love her when she finally comes clean. With her friends by her side they go up against a crime boss and her former lover both demanding she help them in a heist that involves all parties.

I had high hopes for this one. It was romantic suspense and I love that genre. Unfortunately, it never clicked for me. I was bored most of the time. This was very disappointing for because I loved the first book in this series. I’m undecided on continuing with the series.

This is the first full length novel in this series. I really enjoyed the prequel and has high hopes for this installment.

Risk is a former SEAL on his first assignment with the Justiss Alliance and his job is to protect the daughter of a military man. She’s an animal rights activist complete with an arrest record for her actions. Risk thinks this is a baby sitting job and not real thrilled at first. He knows he needs to prove his worth to his new organization so he vows to take this job seriously.

Addie Wunder is a little extreme but devout in her beliefs. She fights for the abuse of animals and she’s really quite successful at it. But she has gained enemies, yes in the plural form. She’s a pistol and nothing is going to stop her from her purpose. Not even the bodyguard her father has put on her tail.

This was a very cute book. I adored the characters and the storyline. You take a big carnivore and the animal rights activist vegetarian and pair them together and watch out. The cat and mouse game between them is entertaining and hilarious. I will never hear the words zucchini and radishes without giggling. This was suspenseful and hot. I already have the next book loaded and ready but with a release for May, I have to wait a while to read it.

Jeff and Darcy had one night of bliss in Las Vegas before Darcy snuck out. But what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there. Darcy ends up pregnant and heads to Jeff’s office to find out what they’re going to do now.
 
I was looking for a romance that was sweet and tender and yet spicy and this one fit the bill perfectly. Jeff and Darcy are open and honest with each other. There’s no secrets being kept between the pair of them. What a refreshing change from the typical everybody’s-got-a-secret storylines I’ve come across lately. And not only are they open and honest, but they talk to and actually listen to each other.
 
This one is loosely tied to Ms. Kelly’s earlier work Waking Up Married but can be read independently. Mira Lyn Kelly is a new author for me, but I know I’ll be going back to see what she’s got on her back list.
