Lora Leigh's RENEGADE

As a bridalshop owner, Mikayla Martin helps make women's wedding dreams come true. Her own life, however, has become a nightmare since she witnessed a murder - and got an up-close-and-personal look at the killer. What's worse: She knows she knows him. But the police, after doing an alibi check, don't believe her. It's up tp Mikayla to prove them wrong ... and do whatever it takes to solve the murder by herself.

Elite Ops agent Nikolai Steele, code name Renegade, is asked to pay an old comrade a favor.

So Nik goes to set her straight ... but the moment he lays eyes on the fiery and determined beauty, he knows he's in too deep. A woman this irresistible can only mean trouble and, sure enough, after sticking her nose in one too many places, someone wants Mikayla dead. Now Nik must find a way to keep her safe, clear his friend's name and find the real killer, who remains on the loose ...

Nauti Kisses by Lora Leigh

Nauti and Wild : Nauti Kisses #6
http://www.loraleigh.com/

When Sierra Lucas is attacked and her life in danger, there is only one place she can go. To the man she has loved for most of her life. The man she gave her virginity to. To a man that was to drunk to remember.

John C. Walker has fought his feelings for Sierra for years. It's been a year since he saw her last, since she started avoiding him, running from him. He's moved from Boston, created a life and home that is almost complete. And now, with Sierra hurt and in danger he will do everything in his power to keep her safe ... and by his side. All John has to do is keep her safe, eliminate the danger and convince Sierra he won't break her heart - again. And it might take more that a few Nauti Kisses.

John and Sierra's story was great. A wonderful way to end the Nauti series. It tied together some of the elements from a couple of the other books without repeating the other stories. I'll definately miss my NAUTI BOYS.

I've always hoped for a cross-over and will continue on with my little fantasy. Maybe Natches Mackay's son Faisal will become a part of the Tempting Seals or fall for one of the Elite Ops 2 women (which is my favorite theory). I would love to see them come together in some way.

Downside

Yes I can admit that I have become some-what obsessed with Stacia Kane's Chess Putnam / Downside Ghosts series. Yes #igotsTERRIBLEfever . Something I doubt I will ever get over, nor do I want to. This is a must read series for the UF/PNR fan.
