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.

What was supposed to be a one night stand so they wouldn’t have to be alone on Christmas turned into a mating for life. Dean sees Niki in his bar and she’s about to punch a human who is drunk and trying to hook up with her. Dean steps in and stops Niki from hurting the human and they go back to his place. They have a hot night and Dean senses she’s his mate. During their interlude, he bites her. Afterward he calls her mate and she runs out.

Dean finds out that his mate was kidnapped and he goes to get her. Oh, and she’s pregnant. And she’s a rare hybrid. A white cougar. It’s a miracle Niki got pregnant since they were supposed to be infertile. That’s what Niki thought anyway. She was led to believe that by her captors in the laboratory she was raised in and experimented on in. The real focus of the story is who masterminded the kidnapping of Niki.

This was a decent read. It flowed easily along. I liked the characters and the premise well enough. The sex was fantastic. I wanted to like it more but wasn’t terribly disappointed. I’ve read another book in the series and enjoyed it as well. Very good humor too.
