Lull between TV Shows

This is the span between my network TV shows season finales and my cable TV shows season premieres. I’m re-watching last season of some of my shows to refresh my memory for the new seasons. I used to spend my summers only reading. However, USA hooked me on their shows and now I balance my summers with reading and TV watching.

This summer I’m watching:

CommonLaw and Fairly Legal on USA – already airing

Rizzoli& Isles on TNT – airs June 5

NecessaryRoughness and Royal Pains on USA – air June 6

Dallas on TNT – airs June 13 (I grew up watching the original Dallas. I’m curious to see if this one will measure up to the original.)

BurnNotice and Suits on USA – airs June 14

The Closer on TNT – airs July 9 (Last 6 episodes of the series.)

Covert Affair and White Collar on USA – airs July 10

What are you watching? Do you have summer shows you enjoy or do you spend your time reading or enjoying another hobby?

Recommended Read - Strip Tease by Karen Erickson

StripTease is a hot read. You will need a cool glass of water while reading. Janelle and Nate heat up the pages with their instant attraction to each other. Nate is a take charge guy who wants to protect Janelle. Janelle has never had anyone take care of her. Throw in obstacles like Janelle’s missing sister and a drug lord who killed Nate’s partner for a page turning you can’t put down.  

Strip Tease is book 1.5 in the Protect and Defend series. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series, On Borrowed Service. This series gets better and better with each book. 

Recommend this book at any reader looking for a sexy, hot book with a dash of suspense.

He can’t resist her…

Protect and Defend, Book 1.5

Covering yet again for her twin sister Ginger is the last thing Janelle wants to do. She’s trying to shed her former exotic dancer career, not maintain it. Discovering the guy she’s dancing for is an undercover cop on the hunt for her troubled sister scares her. This is the last thing she wants to deal with.

Nathan Banks is desperate to find Ginger for one reason only—he wants to nab her boyfriend, reputed drug lord and cold blooded murderer Billy Diaz. Hell bent on revenge after Diaz killed his partner, Nate doesn’t expect the beautiful blonde who tricked him to be much help. But he needs Janelle to find Ginger…

The smoldering attraction between them is undeniable. Fighting it is futile. As they go on the search for Ginger, they become closer to each other—and to danger.

Recommended Read - Hot Secrets by Lisa Renee Jones

Hot Secrets is the first book in the Tall, Dark, and Deadly series. Royce grabbed me from the beginning. He is a bossy, alpha male who is well written. He comes across as sexy and not arrogant.

Lauren is his perfect match. The two heat up the page. I loved the instant attraction between them. However, secrets threaten to destroy their relationship. Add in a stalker looking to harm Lauren for a page turning book.

Recommend this book to any reader looking for a hot romantic suspense. Hot Secrets is a hot read.

Blurb from Lisa Renee Jones’ website:

THE HERO: Royce Walker—the oldest Walker brother and a former FBI Negotiator. The silent type, Royce urges others to talk, having learned there are far more rewards from listening than running his mouth. When he does speak, he doesn’t hold back, his opinions made readily available. He can be abrupt and tough, overbearing even. But none of this stops women from seeing the appeal of his rock hard six-foot-three frame and long, dark hair.

Royce Walker, a former FBI Agent, who’s opened a private security firm with his brothers, has always had the hots for the prim, proper Assistant District Attorney, but considered her hand’s off because of a family connection. However, when danger threatens Lauren, he isn’t willing to stand by and watch her get hurt. Now the passion for survival is only rivaled by the passion burning between them. And that passion, might just be the death of them both.
