Anticipated Read - A Killing Touch by Nikki Duncan

Sensory Ops, Book 4

He’s everything she craves. She’s everything he dreads.

Journalist Lana Quinn has a way with hard-hitting news. The story she’s uncovered has potential, but she needs the help of her best friend’s FBI team. She’s been rescued by them, worked with them, and partied with them, but convincing the second in command to believe her theory—that a killer’s touch sets off a lethal allergic reaction—is a frustrating challenge.

Especially since he excites her, body and mind. He’s a danger she shouldn’t indulge.

Aidan Burgess is resistant to helping Lana, but not for the reason she thinks. She has a knack for landing herself in trouble, which means she needs protection. Protecting her means staying near her, a journalist, who like all journalists uses whatever—and whomever—it takes to get her story. It’s a case he wants to refuse.

Especially since she lights a fire in his blood. She’s a danger he can’t afford.
As Lana follows up on lead after deadly lead, learning to trust and rely on each other becomes their only lifesaving hope. If their pride doesn’t become their final pitfall.

Anticipated Reads Week

I've been under the weather the past couple of weeks. I haven’t felt like reading. That’s when I know I’m sick. Now that I'm on the mend my hope is to have regular blogs up each week.

This week I want to post the books that I’m looking forward to reading. I want to add a few hours to my day just for reading. If only, that was possible. There are so many great books to read and just not enough time.

What books do you anticipate reading?

Review Run the Risk by Lori Foster

Run the Risk by Lori Foster is book one in the Love Undercover series. A perfect first book that leaves you eager for the next one.   

Logan Riske is a hero you fall in love with. He has his flaws, but he makes up for them in the long run. Pepper Yates has her own issues to deal with. She never wanted the danger Logan unknowingly brings to her. These two keep you turning the pages.

Throw in some fabulous secondary characters like Logan's brother, Dash, Logan's partner, Reese, and Pepper's brother, Rowdy, and you get a must read book. Getting Reese's point-of-view gives a great setup for his book, Bare It All. 

The suspense and mystery are threaded with the romance for a great read. I recommend this book to any romance reader who likes suspense with their romance.

5 Stars = A Must Read

Note: I received this book from NetGalley.

Blurb from Lori Foster’s website:

When Detective Logan Riske goes undercover to find Pepper Yates, a potential link to his best friend’s unsolved murder, he vows to gain her cooperation by any means necessary. But the elusive beauty is more suspicious—and in far more danger—than he expected. And the last thing Logan needs is to start caring for her…

Pepper has spent years dodging the corrupt club owner who will stop at nothing to keep her silenced. She can trust no one, not even the handsome new “construction worker” who’s moved in next door. The heat between them is undeniable. But will surrendering to passion bring her the safety she so desires—or will her feelings for Logan draw them both into a killer’s crosshairs?

Not Enough Time to do Everything

I've discovered life isn't giving me enough time to get everything done that I want to accomplish. So something had to get lessened. Unfortunately, this means I will be posting less here on the blog. 

I will still post book reviews and upcoming book information for my favorite authors. Plus, my reading lists and what I'm currently reading will be updated regularly. I just won't be posting everyday. 

I will be posting on Live Laugh Romance Facebook page more often. So if you haven’t already liked the page, go here so you will get all the book love I’ll be sharing there. I'll be posting my short reviews for the 2013 A-Z book challenge on the Facebook page as well.

Continue to look here for posts on books reviews and other book information. When life slows done, I hope to get back to daily posts here. 

Thanks for understanding!
