I love the K2 Team series
by Sandra Owens and each time I read one of her books, I think she can’t outdo
herself but she always manages to win me over in a big way some way, somehow…just
as she has with LOST IN HER.

Blurb for LOST IN HER:
It’s been
a year since Ryan O’Connor buried his wife. He was in Afghanistan as a SEAL
medic when the call came that she’d been killed during a robbery. In that time,
he returned home, nursed his grief, and joined his former brothers-in-arms in
the K2 Special Services.
After a
bad breakup with her ex, Charlene “Charlie” Morgan finds happiness only when
flying the friendly skies—as an aerobatic stunt pilot. But the skies aren’t so
friendly when her plane troubles turn out to be the work of sabotage.
Looking to
forget their worries, Charlie and Ryan run into each other at a bar. The
chemistry is instant and intense. It’s only supposed to be a one-night stand.
But the memory of their passionate kiss lingers, and when Ryan shows up at
Charlie’s flight school, their romance takes off. Yet the route to love has its
own turbulence—secrets, lies, and danger. Can one night lead to something
lasting?
~*~ ~*~ ~*~ ~*~
Ryan,
known among the K2 Team as Doc,
carries a secret buried deep but not so deep as to not continually burn away at
his insides. When he meets a tiny cherub
of a woman who manages to get under his skin with just a kiss, he knows it’s
time to open the wounds, find out the truth, and live again. His only worry is
that his sexy little stunt pilot cherub might not be around by the time he
finally does.
Charlie
carries her own festering guilt over tearing apart her family and being
responsible for her best friend’s suicide. Her luck with men isn’t all too
great either. Not having much experience with romance or sex, she prefers to
disappear into the clouds rather than keep her feet on the ground…until she
meets a sexy man one night, whose kiss fills her with a need to spend time with
him even as she worries that it will end any moment. Of course, it doesn’t help
that someone is out to get her and keeps sabotaging her plane so she never knows
when her next flight to the heavens might be a permanent one.
Whereas
LOST IN HER by Sandra Owens might not have had the level of suspense, and edge
of the seat thrill as the first three books, it certainly was as good when it
comes to Ryan as our bunny loving, sweet, caring, and oh, so protective romantic hero.
He’s definitely a K2 Team member. He carries some anger, regret, and isn’t
always as smart as he looks when it comes to Charlie but he makes up for it in
so many delightful ways. He’s as inexperienced in love and sex as
Charlie, which makes them very compatible and fun together. Charlie is who I’d
love to be…not just, because she gets the sexy, romantic Ryan but because she’s
a pilot—a stunt pilot yet. I love to fly so I quickly related to Charlie and
her love of being in the clouds.
Don't get me wrong, there
is some excitement, a bit of thrill and adventure, even danger in LOST IN HER…Ryan
and Jake (SOMEONE LIKE HER) go on a mission that even though it’s serious one, it has its moments
with some great camaraderie banter between the two and a new guy. Not saying
anything more. You’ll have to read it to understand why poor Mr. Bunny sits
waiting at the door for Ryan to come home. It’s a good thing he doesn’t know about
the poodle. Nope…zipped.
Sandra
gives us light, funny, serious, a little nerve wreaking, and certainly romantic
in LOST IN HER. I highly recommend reading this even if you haven’t read the
first three, although if you love great characters, funny teasing and banter,
and really sexy former S.E.A.L. men, you should. They each work well as
stand-alones, but why do that? Read them all, but if you must start with one that
will have you saying, ‘Awww’, more times than you expect, read LOST IN HER,
book four of the K2 Team series by Sandra Owens, and fall in love with Ryan
like I did.
I
don’t normally quote books, but I just can’t let this one pass with mention:
There wasn’t
an ounce of fat on him and she’d bet her small savings account that naked, he’d
look just like those hot guy pictures women posted on Facebook, the ones where
the guy had the V-line that women called sex lines.
Happy
Reading Everyone!

A ROGUE BY ANY OTHER NAME by Sarah MacLean
What a scoundrel wants, a scoundrel gets. . .
A decade ago, the Marquess of Bourne was cast from society with nothing but his title. Now a partner in London's most exclusive gaming hell, the cold, ruthless Bourne will do whatever it takes to regain his inheritance—including marrying perfect, proper Lady Penelope Marbury.
A broken engagement and years of disappointing courtships have left Penelope with little interest in a quiet, comfortable marriage, and a longing for something more. How lucky that her new husband has access to an unexplored world of pleasures.
Bourne may be a prince of London's illicit underworld, but he vows to keep Penelope untouched by its wickedness—a challenge indeed as the lady discovers her own desires, and her willingness to wager anything for them . . . .even her heart.
BLAME IT ON BATH: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE DUKE by Caroline Linden
A marriage of convenience . . . or of destiny?
Gerard de Lacey is determined to find the man who is blackmailing his family, but with his inheritance and status at risk, a hasty marriage to a wealthy bride also seems in order—just in case things take a turn for the worse. Charismatic and capable, Gerard knows he can win the hand of any lady he chooses. Still, he's not expecting a rich widow to find him and propose the very thing he wants: a marriage of convenience.
Katherine Howe's first marriage was one of dreary duty. Now that she's being pressured to marry her late husband's heir, she's desperate for a better option. Gerard de Lacey, with his sinful good looks, charming manner, and looming scandal, fits her needs perfectly. The fact that she's nursed a secret affection for him only makes it better—and worse. Because Gerard will likely marry her for her fortune—but can he love her for herself, as she loves him?

An infamous night has been lost to memory. The scandalous Dukes of the Royal Entourage must make amends. The first step is a heroic rescue.
One of England’s most disreputable peers, Alexander Barclay, Duke of Kress, has stumbled upon a perfect opportunity for redemption. Having been exiled to Cornwall by the Prince Regent himself, Barclay discovers lovely Roxanne Vanderhaven clinging to the edge of a cliff, stranded there by her murderous blackguard of a husband . . . just waiting to be rescued.
Back on solid ground, Roxanne is desperate for a new life— once she’s retaliated for her husband’s despicable actions.

FEVER by Joan Swan (another debut author) [My Pick for HOTTEST COVER!]
When Dr. Alyssa Foster is taken hostage by a prison inmate, she knows she's in deep trouble. Not just because Teague Creek is desperate for freedom. But because the moment his fingers brush against her skin, Alyssa feels a razor-sharp pang of need...A man with a life sentence has nothing to lose. At least Teague doesn't, until his escape plan develops a fatal flaw: Alyssa. On the run from both the law and deadly undercover operatives, he can only give her lies, but every heated kiss tells him the fire between them could be just as devastating as the flames that changed him forever.
Lisa Madison wants a husband, and she has just the candidate in mind: Robert Langley. Trouble is, the infuriating man insists on seeing her as the impish girl she once was—even as every other gentleman in London has taken notice of her womanly…charms. When her beauty lands her in danger, it’s Robert who comes to the rescue…only to announce his affections are not of the romantic variety! Robert saw enough sorrow in his parents’ union to know he wants nothing to do with marriage, which is exactly what he’ll be trapped into if he acts on his desire for the irksome siren. And then Lisa does what Robert least expects: gives up on him! As feigned indifference gives way, blistering passion burns at last. But just before the pair can give in to hard-won bliss, an enemy with unfinished business lurks threatening to destroy them both.
THE TATTOOED DUKE by Maya Rodale

You thought you knew the dangerous Duke of Wycliff, London's globe-trotting adventure addict. Here's what you don't know: he's penniless. Sebastian Digby's dukely lifestyle is over forever unless he finds a rich bride. But thanks to The London Weekly, everyone knows better than to tangle with this lothario. Besides (as one writer can testify), it seems that Sebastian has been unable to keep his hands of his own lowly housemaid...
And that's a problem. A big one.
Because that housemaid just happens to be me. Eliza Fielding. The same undercover Writing Girl who's been exposing the Duke's most intimate secrets to the world. And now I've gone and complicated everything by falling love with him. Passion and deception have never been so delicious, but now the truth could destroy everything. This is more than a conflict of interest. It's a seduction where love itself hangs in the balance.

LUST IN THE LIBRARY - an erotic novella by Amelia Fayer

Suddenly she's learning just how stimulating a library can be—up against a bookcase, behind the card catalog, on the circulation desk . . .
Meanwhile, Veronica is incredibly frustrated. While Sara and her new man are using the library as their personal adult playground, she's stuck with only her thesis and her sexual fantasies.
