Born to Be Wild

Being bad never felt so good…

Bree Lockhart was always the good girl—on the surface. During her senior year of high school, however, her inner bad girl was lured out to play by reckless, carefree Jake Bishop. Her parents’ worst nightmare, and the man she’s never forgotten.

Twelve years later, she’s home for a charity event and up for auction. The highest bidder? Jake. This time around, he wants more than a wild ride—he wants it all. But she’s not about to risk her heart on another fling that’ll just leave it in pieces.

Jake once reveled in showing Bree how good it is to be bad. But convincing her he can be good for her is going to take some very special tactics…

Warning: This book features a bad boy soldier determined to chip away at a good girl’s resistance with hot sex, hot sex, and…more hot sex.

But when Abby purposely blows her cover in a last-ditch attempt to free the helpless victims, deadly mercenary Kane Woodland is recruited as back-up. His mission: get Abby out of that hell hole.

Take Me Home Tonight

One unforgettable night.a lifetime of regret?

Three years. That's how long Maddie's been running the reception desk at Owen Bishop's construction company-and waiting for her sexy boss to wake up and realize she's more woman than the airhead bimbos he seems to prefer.

Even after her friends spring an ambush makeover on her, Owen barely notices. Apparently shedding her one-of-the-guys, tomboy looks isn't enough. Looks like it's time to step up her game, even if it means looking for lessons in all the wrong places.

While Owen can't help but notice Maddie's stunning transformation, the truth is, he likes her just the way she is-polished up or dressed down. Like his playboy father, though, he's always been restless when it comes to women. Maddie's friendship is too important to risk hurting her.

When Maddie shows up at his door ready to rock his world, all his resistance crumbles. But in the back of his mind, the question remains.how can she trust him with her vulnerable heart, when he's not sure he can trust himself?

Warning: Contains a girl who'll do anything to please her man, even if it means signing up for a master class in seduction with the town bad boy. Plus a man who may let the "sins of the father" stop him from accepting the gift of a lifetime.

Revenge can be sweet. Forgiveness is sweeter.

Stomp all over his heart as she walks out the door.

Nate has never forgotten the green-eyed redhead who set his body on fire, the one girl who saw past his bad reputation. The heat of those memories still warms his thoughts, even after all these years. After he did the right thing and let her go, rather than let his love chain her to a town she despised.

Now she’s back in Paradise looking sexier than ever, and Nate finds himself powerless to keep his distance. And Charlotte, in spite of her resolve, can’t believe she’s so easily falling under his spell. Yet mind-blowing sex doesn’t bury the past. It unearths painful emotions too long buried. Emotions that could stamp out rekindled love before it catches flame…

Genre(s): Erotic Romance, Contemporary, Harlequin Blaze
This was another of the Blaze titles that was worth reading! The storyline was great and the characters Ms. Kennedy created definitely worked well together.

Hoping to make a bust, Caleb found himself lusting after Marley from watching h
