The Shameless Hour was a story, I will be honest, I wasn't too excited for. Bella hasn't been my favorite character. I just don't relate to her character at all. And I will be honest in that this book wasn't my favorite from the series. Now I am picky about heroines that are very explorative when it comes to sexual experiences. Even in her vulnerable moments, I struggled with Bella and how she treats the hero. We have a virgin hero here and I really adored him so deeply. He has convictions and stands by them and Bella tended to demean those convictions at times and really put him down all the time. And while she realizes how wrong she is in the end, not much of a grovel, so she isn't fully redeemed and the heroine is the reason why the rating is so low. The conflict that we see in the story is interesting. It was more how the heroine reacted to it that rubbed me the wrong way. Hero was so steady and valiant. And while the ending was satisfying and delivered so happy feels, it wasn't quite as satisfying because the heroine just didn't become redeemed. This is basically a story of the heroine abusing the hero and it is shrugged off as okay because she is a feminist so his feelings and the emotional abuse don't matter. ...more

I wanted to love this one, I really really did. So many have raved about this novella and I am so confused why its so well loved. The romance was almost non existent, it was basically just erotica with some aspects of the MC in it to see some background to Tank and Tanner as I am guessing to build up background for what happens in Darkness Embraced. There were aspects to this novella that was good though. I enjoyed Tank and his background and seeing his friendship with Tanner. I am curious about Tanner and I hope his book we really see his development a lot more, I feel like there is so much to his story and I am very eager for it, although I do know I will need to be in the right headspace for it for sure. ...more
Outrageous: Judd Sanders is undercover, trying to bring down a crime boss, that killed the one man he considered family, and now he wants justice. PosOutrageous: Judd Sanders is undercover, trying to bring down a crime boss, that killed the one man he considered family, and now he wants justice. Posing as a male stripper, he sees a woman that is not his usual clientele. A woman of grace, poise and elegance and money. Emily Cooper is looking for justice, her brother was injured by the same crime boss, and she will do anything to bring justice to this man of crime. When she meets Judd Sanders, she feels a excitement that is new and fresh, and can't deny the attraction she feels for him. But when she learns of his true identity, and that she may have almost blown his cover, they start to work together, and with their combined desire for each that almost consumes them, but will Judd and Emily be able to have a future together despite their differing backgrounds?
So Charade is a dual combination of two marvelous stories: Outrageous and Impetuous. I will say that having never read Lori Foster before, I was excitement. So many stellar reviews and ratings of her books, so I was pretty excited to delve into Charade and OH BOY did I adore this book!! In Outrageous, I would put this one under romantic suspense. The story begins when Judd and Emily meet on the street and sparks fly instantly, and they can't deny the attraction they have for each other. At first Judd can't risk having feelings for Emily, he has a job to do, a job that if he isn't careful could get them both killed. But when he learns what Emily is really after, he decides they can work together, that she can only aid in his cover. But Emily isn't just any woman. Despite her appearance of wealth and elegance, she is the most honorable woman he has ever met, and she strikes a chord within him, that brings out his inner passions and breaks away the ice in his heart. Outrageous was such a stimulating story, and I couldn't get enough of it. Both characters were heartwarming and full of zest and tended to just keep you at the edge. Whether from the suspense from the plot, or wondering when these two will actually admit what they feel to each other. A masterful written story of danger, desire and a moving love story.
Impetuous Carlie McDaniels is a schoolteacher, and when her best friend coerces her to trade her frumpy outfits for a harem girl costume, she almost think she has lost her mind. But on that night of the masquerade party, the one man she has had a crush on for years, comes looking for her, attraction is mutual and they share one special sensual night, but Carlie knows that Tyler would never look twice at her in her normal attire. Tyler is a lawyer, and successful, but when he meets Carlie, he at first finds her cold and aloof, but he soon discovers that there is alot more to Carlie than meets the eye. They strike up a friendship of sorts, a friendship that turns into something more. But will Carlie have the courage to tell Tyler the truth about the truth behind the mask? or will she lose him forever.
Impetuous was a story that just sung to me. I don't even know why, because Carlie isn't your usual heroine, and at first I couldn't understand her judgement of Tyler. But as you get deeper in the story, you see that Carlie has been hurt and she has major trust issues and doesn't think Tyler could ever love her as herself. In this story we see two people that need each other. I loved seeing them turn into friends first and then lovers. It was a slow and steady romance, but they definitely know how to light up some fireworks in this one. And when the truth comes out...well watch out readers, it just might shock you!! Impetuous is a story of plot twists and just keeps you guessing with each chapter, high sexual tension, and pure romance fun!!! SIZZLES AND TOP NOTCH!!...more
