It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet and share what you have been and are about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit, comment, and add to your groaning TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and was then hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at The Book Date.
What I am Reading Now
Publisher’s warning: This adult contemporary romance contains explicit sexual content and graphic language. Not intended for those under the age of 18.
No good deed goes unpunished.
Free clinic nurse, Jamie Henderson, has been slogging through life in cement-filled boots for the past six months. It’s been damned hard to get past her recent betrayal, but she’s determined to try.
When two men chase her, she manages to escape, but the near attack shakes her to the core. Now more than ever, she needs to take back control of her life.
Arson investigator, Max Gruden, is called to a blaze at an abandoned warehouse only to learn a man was found clinging to life inside. After the victim is rushed to the hospital, Jamie, a woman who has intrigued Max for a while, tries to cross the police barrier, searching for answers about her friend who was burned in the fire.
What starts out as a simple friendship between Max and Jamie quickly turns into a blaze of passion. When she finds herself a target in a terrorist plot, Max is enraged and promises to do everything in his power to keep her safe.
What I am reading Monday and Tuesday:
Who says you can never go back?
Former FBI Agent Vic Hart has made a lot of bad decisions in his life. His biggest regret was divorcing his wife. So when Ellie shows up at his private investigator’s office after flying halfway across the country to ask for his help, he’s both shocked and delighted.
For five years, Ellie Hart struggled to create a new life for herself. It wasn’t easy to mend her broken heart, but she’s finally found the contentment she’s been searching for. Her new-found happiness is fleeting, however, when her life is threatened, and she’s forced to turn to the one man she never wanted to see again.
Ellie’s back in Vic’s life and he’ll do anything and everything to keep her there. He has passion and desire on his side—it burns even hotter this second time around.
But danger still follows, and the tension escalates. If Vic wants a future with Ellie, he’s going to have to find a way to keep his family safe and stay alive at the same time.
Warning: This book contains explicit, hot sex. Not for anyone under 18 yo.
Ever since Rock Hard Detective, Trent Lawson, was assigned to keep Charlotte Hart safe a few months back, he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about the sexy and headstrong woman. When Charlotte moves to Rock Hard, he boosts his effort to seal his heart. His job means everything to him. Too bad, passion flares the moment he sees her again.
After Charlotte’s shooting incident, she’s desired Trent. He’s everything she’s dreamed of in a man. Determined to have a future with him, she sets out to seduce him, but before she has the chance, a man is murdered, and she’s caught in the middle.
Intrigue and danger come between the new lovers, and Trent’s convinced being with him could put her in peril. What does she need to do to convince him they belong together no matter what?

What I am currently reading:
New York Times Bestselling Author Joanne Wadsworth brings you her bestselling Highlander Heat time travel series. Readers are loving it!
Traveling through time…for a Highlander.
Anne MacLeod’s identical ancestor has made a wish on the Fairy Flag at Dunvegan Castle, one which sees the two young women swapping places in time and leaving Anne set to handfast with the very man her ancestor wished to escape. Only Anne sees the possibilities, because now she could change the future and ensure her parents never perished in the inferno which took their lives.
Highland warrior Alex MacDonald has made an agreement to handfast with Anne in order to bring a halt to the feud raging between their clans. The last thing he expects though is a woman claiming to come from the future, a woman who stirs him on a physical and emotional level to protect, and to even believe.
When Anne finds herself in her MacLeod chief’s presence, she chooses to go with him in order to leave a message for her parents. In full pursuit, Alex wages a battle of the heart, and of the very essence of time. Can he defy the odds as Anne is taken from him…to work his own magic and get her back?
What I recently finished reading:
Sam Berner is a man obsessed with movies and forever in search of adventure, yet a complete coward at heart – a walking mass of contradictions!
It was supposed to be a quiet drink after work with a friend.
It turned out to be a surreal encounter with a mysterious woman, an ejection from a window into an alleyway and a chance meeting with a one-eyed man who gives him a strange device as a gift.
Sam’s night goes from bad to worse, as he realises the device is not a gift at all. He ends up hurtling inside a mind bending nightmare through time that not even he could have imagined in the wildest movies of his imagination – and he’s playing the lead role…
What I plan on reading Thursday through Sunday:
Arianna Dubray is nothing like the girl she left in Baltimore. Once a Prada shoe wearing, Michael Kors bag carrying, on top of the world seventeen-year-old girl, Arianna knew that her life would never be the same when she got out of the car in middle-of-nowhere Montana. Canyon Michaels is the keeper of his own dark secrets. Plagued by his family name, he’s forced to prove the town wrong and make it on his own. The last thing Arianna needs is a reason to stay, but with every passing day the decision to leave becomes harder. Once their paths cross nothing can tear them apart, other than the secrets that start to surface and the nightmares that soon become their reality.
Killing is wrong. The reason doesn’t matter.
Oncology nurse, Amber Delacroix is totally distraught. She’s the number one suspect in a mercy-killing case–her brother’s no less!
Finding comfort in the arms of the paramedic who treated her brother, Amber’s budding relationship with the compassionate and kind Stone Benson heats up. Just as they begin to explore new ground, Stone reveals shocking news: sharing his women with his roommate is his preferred sexual lifestyle.
That might not be so bad if his friend didn’t happen to be the insensitive detective Cade Carter who accused her of the murder.
Now it’s up to all three of them to clear Amber’s name as the murderer, so the men can take mercy on her body…
You aren’t free to love until you realize you can’t make someone love you back.
As builder Pete Banks is finishing a remodel for psychologist Zoey Donovan, she arrives home dazed, injured, and distraught. As he calms her down, she draws him in with her halting story of how Thad Dalton, a local cop and Pete’s roommate, saved her life. When Pete learns Thad was shot, he’s torn between staying with a woman in need and being there for his roommate.
Zoey never intended to blurt out to a man she’s never met how she almost died, but Pete’s understanding nature alters something inside her. Usually, she’s the one trying to figure out her clients’ needs, not the other way around. While Pete Banks is one of kind, she can’t tear her mind from Thad, the man who risked his life for her.
Detective Thad Dalton was never so scared in his life when a madman grabs Zoey in the hospital corridor and threatens to kill her if his demands aren’t met. Thad ends up taking a bullet to save her but would do it again if it means having her in his life.
When Zoey, Thad, and Pete attend Thad’s parents’ anniversary party sparks fly. She realizes she wants a more personal connection to these two men. While Thad’s on board, Pete doesn’t think he’s worthy. His self-loathing forces him to retreat and casts doubt on their future together.
Zoey and Thad are justifiably both mad and hurt. It’s going to take a miracle to patch this threesome back together for their happily ever after.
