Covert

Undercover agent Alayna Wilson agrees to genetic manipulation in order to infiltrate the chemical company believed to be providing the ingredients to manufacture patrile—the most addictive drug in the galaxy.

Ms. Raines pens this seventh novel with just as much sexiness and passion as she has in her earlier novels. I instantly loved Alayna Wilson and enjoyed going on the journey with her as I read this newest novel in the Wicked Missions series. When Alayna, Will and Tanner were together, the heat coming off the pages was scorching hot. I love how Ms. Raines pens her characters to not only have such connections wi

Captivated

Although she assures them that she'll keep their important secret, they keep her at a desert hideaway that turns to paradise as the three explore their mutual attraction.

Crown Prince Jayce Cobmara is in love with his bodyguard, Damian Scarpela, but because of the belief system they live in, they have decided to keep their relationship a secret. That’s all fine and good until they meet up with Law-enforcement agent Izzie Szabo and they find that the attraction they all share for each other is something none of them want to deny themselves from. Ironically, the Bromondi people

Sharing

As children, we were all taught the importance of sharing, but when it comes to love, many are unwilling to compromise. Consider the dilemma of two men in love with the same woman, while that same woman loves both men equally and cannot choose. Pain and sadness are almost guaranteed for one man if she does decide to take one over the other. However, when a spirit of cooperation prevails, none of those involved need walk away hurt or unfulfilled—and the possibilities are endless.

Join us on a unique journey that will take you back into history, allow you to explore the present day, immerse you in the world of fantasy, and then send you forward in time to the distant future. Each story will lure you into a private world where nothing is taboo, no one is left sobbing in despair, and sensuously wicked pleasures abound.

I really enjoyed this anthology and felt that all six authors packed a punch with their stories. Each one had such a creative edge to it and all the characters were so enjoyable that I couldn't help falling in love with all of them. I had to fan myself a few times just to cool down while I was flipping the pages. These ladies know how to write stories that would make any reader wiggle in their seats begging f

I just loved Callie and wanted to see her successfully obtain the antibiotics she needed because children were dying of the plague. If this alone doesn’t tug at your heartstrings, let me add to the scene two smugglers, Hammond and Spencer, who are both gorgeous men. They decide the only way to protect Callie is to kidnap her. But once they get to know each other, their attraction for one another can’t be deni

I feel that book 4 in the Wicked Missions series didn't disappoint me at all. Ms. Raines creates unique far off places that are inhabited by fascinating characters and each story can clearly be a standalone story in the series, but enjoyed even more so when read in order. She definitely knows her craft and when she sprinkles her magic potion over her characters to make them come to life, she creates them to b

Bounty

When Hannah Bates helps foil a Dracorian attack on the planet Fraiqua, the Dracorians place a hefty price on her head. Captured by two bounty hunters, she faces death if delivered to her enemies. Can she convince her captors that revenge rather than justice awaits her if they claim their bounty? When she develops feelings for the two men, how will she persuade them it’s not an attempt to earn their sympathy?

Erik Leonards’s daughter is being held hostage by the Dracorians, used as leverage to force him to bring them Hannah Bates. Together with his partner, Wulf Stratton, Erik captures her, knowing Hannah's delivery to Dracoria is his daughter Leah’s only hope.

On the long trip, Wulf and Erik fight their attraction to the dynamic Hannah. When the time comes to turn her over to her enemy, the men face an impossible choice—save Leah or save Hannah?

Book three of Ms. Raines' Wicked Missions series packed just as much delight as did her previous two books. This author created more characters that you just couldn't help but fall in love with and she did it in such a fashion that I felt I was reading about a great Sci-Fi soap opera happening on another planet. As I turned each page, I just couldn't help but wonder what the author would have her characters d

Marooned

Marooned on a tropical moon with two handsome men—one her Earth Bureau of Investigation partner—Betinsa Nungio faces the comchi, the time in her species’ lives when they must take mates or risk death.

Agent Matt Newton has hidden his attraction to his partner. Now, he has the opportunity to explore his feelings. Can he find the courage to share her with another man, one she needs to complete her transition?

Ambassador Drake Keller faces a dilemma—he’s supposed to observe other cultures, not participate in them. Yet Betinsa needs him—as she needs Matt—and the more time Drake spends with her, the more his passion grows. How can he possibly leave her behind when they are rescued?

As the trio explores their growing bond, they stumble across a terrorist group plotting to destroy Betinsa’s planet and must work together to try and save her world.

It's obvious that in book two of the Wicked Missions series Ms. Raines created characters that felt like your friends and had them take us along on a fun filled ride throughout the pages of her book. Having Betinsa fall in love with Matt and Drake definitely kicked up the heat index of the story, but when they all made love to each other the storyline sizzled. I could swear I saw steam rising up from the page

Locked In

Quarantine--thirty days for Leesa to spend with the two men she's fantasized about for the entire mission. As they explore their mutual attraction and nurture their growing affection, she finds herself the target of a government investigation into who contracted her to collect the deadly virus.

I really enjoyed this debut story by Ms. Raines. Her characters were easy to fall in love with, her storyline was purely entertaining and the sex scenes between Leesa, Cain and Geoff were scorching hot. Clearly this author has talent and she knows how to give her readers what they're looking for in a great book. I honestly have to say that I hated to see it end. Great job, Ms. Raines, on your debut novel and
