Secret identities, second chances, drama, desire:
It’s all going down in Miami Beach

Secret
identities, second chances, drama, desire: It’s all going down in Miami Beach
in this tantalizing novel from the bestselling author of Pull Me
Close, which was hailed by Aurora Rose Reynolds as “a
heart-gripping story about . . . the power of love.”
April: Walking away from Matt Moreno was
the hardest thing I’ve ever done. Lying to him was a close second, but for his
safety, I had no other choice. I was undercover, working to put some nasty
people behind bars. But when Matt nearly recognizes me on Lincoln Road a year
later, all those very real feelings come rushing back. Now that my assignment’s
almost over, will he understand why I lied? Why I had to leave? Most important,
can he ever forgive me?
Matt: I was madly in love with June Simpson . . . or, at least, with the woman I thought was June. Then she just disappeared while my family’s nightclub went through hell. And after months of searching, when I think I’ve finally found that sexy, raspy voice and those exquisite blue eyes, she slips away once more. Turns out, “June” is actually Detective April White. She’s been playing me the whole time. And she’s about to rock my world all over again.

PULL ME CLOSE
“Slide
over, will ya? I need to order a drink.” He sounds as if he’s already had
enough drinks and doesn’t need another one. I’m about to tell the guy where he
can stick his drink when I see her reach into her purse and pull out her phone.
I’m mesmerized. What is she doing? The jerk is staring at her, waiting for her
to move, but she’s reading a text instead, completely ignoring him.
But
then the man makes the wrong decision. He grabs her elbow and pulls her up from
the stool.
“Hey!
Get your hands off me!” she shrieks. Her eyes, a piercing light blue that’s
almost translucent, glare at the man.
“Is
everything okay?” I ask loudly, to be heard over the music.
“Miller
Lite,” the guy has the fucking nerve to call out.
But
she speaks over him. “No. Everything’s not okay. This guy grabbed me.”
“Calm
down, honey. You’ve been sitting here all night. Some of us need room.”
“Well,
you could say ‘excuse me.’”
“And
you can move your fat ass,” he spits back. “It’s not like you need any more
drinks.” At that, her mouth opens wide and she gasps. From what I can see there
is nothing fat about this woman, but even if there was, the guy’s totally out
of line. With both palms on the bar I lean forward and get in the man’s face.
“Outta my bar—” But I don’t have a chance to finish before she lifts her glass,
stands up, and slowly and deliberately pours the entire drink over the guy’s
head, olives and all.
Swear
to God—swear to fucking God—all the lights, the music, and the people dancing
come to a screeching halt as she slams her empty glass on the table and calmly
sits back down. “Another martini, please,” she says sweetly, batting her
lashes.
Fucking
spectacular.
I
think I might be in love.

KISS, MARRY, KILL
Iron Clad Security #1
Sidney Halston
Releasing March 28th, 2017
Swerve
It was just
supposed to be a regular Thursday afternoon…and then he saw her. Sitting in
seat L214, one seat over from his at the baseball game, right next to her
douche of a soon-to-be-ex-boyfriend. An impromptu kiss for the kiss cam, and
Jax knew his life would never be the same. Five years and a tour in Afghanistan
later, Jax is back stateside running his own private security firm, Iron-Clad,
with his best friend. He isn't the man he used to be... but Megan isn't the
sexy and sweet, though sheltered, twenty-two-year-old he left behind, either.
And she's in trouble.
...but now they're on the run.
“I
can’t believe I’m here with you. I mean, I didn’t think I’d ever see you
again.”
His
face softened and there was the ghost of a smile hidden somewhere in his bushy beard.“Still
not a question.”
“How
long have you been back?”
“Few
months.”
“What
happened to you? Do you leave again?”
“Got
blown up, got discharged, came home, not leaving again.”
It
was short, and she needed more information, but knowing he wasn’t going to
expand, she moved on. “Okay,” she sing-songed, “are you married?” Then she
heard the very familiar and very welcome chuckle of Jackson Irons. It hit her
right in the chest. It was her first glimpse of the old Jax.
“No.
Not married.”
“Do
you want to know if I’m married?” she asked.
“Already
know you’re not.” His arms were big and bulky and the way that he leaned into
the island made him look impatient.
“Can
you sit? You’re making me nervous.”
He
pushed off the counter and sat on the chair across from her, the island between
them. “What do you do now?” “I co-own Iron-Clad Security here in town. We do
all types of security work including
bodyguard, government ops, cyber-security, securing homes.”
She
held out her finger and pointed to herself. “I’m pretty sure I’m in the market
for some of that.”
“Already
on it, Meg.”
“Really?
Don’t I have to hire you first, or something? Discuss prices? Sign a contract?”
“You
think I’d sit back and wait for a stalker to break in again while we discuss
pricing options? Fill out paperwork?”

I don’t really read a lot of romantic suspense
but since this one sounded great and I like Sidney Halston’s writing I had to
pick this one up. And I am so glad that I did.
The story was told in alternating points of view,
shifting from present day to five years ago. And despite the suspense and drama
the romance of the story was awesome.
Megan and Jax met completely by chance 5 years
ago at a time that meant there was no future for them as a couple. But the off
the charts chemistry between them resulted in a few days together making a heap
of amazing memories and a few life changing decisions.
When life brings them back together the chemistry
is still just as explosive and they relive the memories of their first meeting
five years ago, while reconnecting and getting to know the new people they have
become.
Of course the air of mystery and danger just adds
to the whole thing and I was entirely engrossed in the story. I figured out
pretty quickly who was behind it all but I think that was intended and it
really didn’t affect the impact of the book. Especially since that just meant I
was dying to find out if I was right and see how it was going to play out and
how they were going to figure it out.
Both characters were easy to connect with and I
really loved that they reacted so genuinely to everything that happened. I
couldn’t be happier that Megan wasn’t a whiny little sook or play damsel in
distress. And I loved that Jax was so protective and growly and full on alpha
but when he over stepped he admitted it and apologised. It just made them feel
so real not just as a couple but as people.
I can’t wait for the next book in the series
after what I am assuming was the set up for it here.
