Title: No Limits

Series: Armed and Dangerous #1

Author: L.P. Dover

Genre: NA Romance

Release Date: June 1, 2015

Murder. Lies. Betrayal.

I deal with those things every day. My name is Jason Avery, one of the best undercover agents in the country. I have yet to fail on a mission, which is why I’ve been sent to Vegas. Countless women have been abducted, tortured, only to show up dead in the middle of the night. It’s my job to find out which sick fuck is responsible. Unfortunately, every lead sends me to a dead end; at least, until Aylee McFadden shows up at my door.

Aylee is a stubborn, headstrong FBI agent and also one of the sexiest women I’ve ever seen with a gun. In joining me, it gives us the leverage we need to get on the inside. She fights me at every turn, but soon realizes there’s more to me than tattoos and a dirty mouth. I can’t get enough of her. Now that we’re in the game, we’re one step closer to solving the crime. However, gambling with money isn’t what the big boys want. They want the one thing I’m not willing to give.

It’s a no limit game, and if I back down I lose everything. I will lose her.

Review

Jason Avery is cocky and arrogant, and he’s one of the top undercover agents in the country. Brought in on a case in Las Vegas at the request of the chief of police, Jason is tasked with finding a suspected serial killer responsible for abducting and torturing women before he kills and then dumps them. For the first time ever, Jason is running into wall after wall on the case, and he’s been warned that the FBI is growing increasingly interested and impatient.

Aylee McFadden isn’t what she appears to be. A seasoned undercover FBI agent, she paints a very sultry picture with her striking red hair and a body honed from years in the field. But Aylee is way more than her beauty; she is smart, she is strong and she is tough.

“Why are all the hot guys such douchebags?”

After a very tense first meeting, Aylee finds Jason to be an ill tempered, over confident jerk. Both of them are used to working alone, and neither trusts easily. Jason is torn between his attraction to Aylee and his dislike of being partnered with an FBI agent. They both acknowledge that they’re going to have to open up to each other to gain that trust for this partnership to work.

Rubbing elbows with the most elite and elusive of Vegas’ high rollers, Aylee and Jason have narrowed their mission’s focus to a small group of very powerful men. Breaching these men’s inner circle using Jason’s card playing skills along with Aylee’s beauty and sexuality as bait, they are forced to play games with the highest stakes imaginable.

“I don’t mind being in the line of fire, but watching you head straight into the flames is almost unbearable.”

Jason doesn’t like it, not one bit, but they don’t have a choice. They have to see the mission through. As time passes, Aylee and Jason have not only earned each other’s trust and respect, but they’re falling for each other as well. Their connection is so strong, their chemistry so positively electric, that they can’t help but give in to it. Unfortunately, the men they are investigating are also completely captivated by Aylee’s charms, and, much to Jason’s dismay, each one of them wants his turn with her. She’s proven her abilities and skills to him and they have a plan, but it’s killing Jason that he’s not right there protecting her.

“Did my ninja skills turn you on?”

I don’t want to spoil any part of the mystery, but it was an exciting and surprising conclusion to that portion of the storyline. But what will become of Aylee and Jason’s budding relationship now that the case has drawn to a close? With Aylee living in Maine and Jason in North Carolina, can – or will – they make a long distance relationship work? Or will Aylee bail on Jason before he can hurt her?

“You have my body, heart and soul. Loving you will be the ultimate adventure.”

LP Dover’s No Limit is a fantastic romantic suspense novel with a very interesting, exciting and sexy story line. The love story of Jason and Aylee and the mystery are each given equal focus and attention in this book, and it works amazingly well. I was completely invested and flipping the pages for more of both sides of this story. A solid 4 smooches from me!

RELEASE DATE: July 7th

Blurb

I come from a family of fighters. I always thought I’d follow in their shadows, becoming unstoppable in the ring. That changed the day I saved the life of a woman I loved, but could never have.

My brother hailed me as a hero, and my reward was a wheelchair.

Paralyzed, my life became an inescapable nightmare.

Until I met her.

Ash Mabie had a heart-stopping smile and a laugh that numbed the rage and resentment brewing inside of me. She showed me that even the darkest night still had stars, and it didn’t matter one bit that you had to lie in the weeds to see them.

I was a jaded asshole who fell for a girl with a knack for running away. I couldn’t even walk but I would have spent a lifetime chasing her.

Now, I’m on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.

Fighting the shadows of our past.

Fighting to reclaim my future.

Fighting for her.

Fighting Shadows Excerpt

Fighting Shadows

Prologue

Ash

“Where the fuck have you been?” a man’s voice growled as soon as I entered the conference room.

My eyes flashed to his for only a single second before I recognized them. The door had barely clicked behind me but I already wanted nothing more than to bolt. My heart raced and my mouth dried.

I had to get out of there.

“Um…” I stalled, giving myself time to formulate a plan.

“Sit. Down,” he ordered, pushing out the chair next to him, but there was no way I was getting that close.

“I’m good,” I said, taking a step backwards toward the door.

“Don’t even think about it,” he snapped. “I swear to God, if you so much as open that door…” His words may have trailed off, but the threat was clearly stated.

I swallowed hard, and slowly walked to the chair farthest away from him, perching on the very edge—waiting for just the right moment to escape.

He looked down at the name badge around my neck and quirked an eyebrow.

“Victoria?”

“You can call me Tori if it’s easier.” I tried to fake a smile, but it only seemed to infuriate him. He took several calming breaths, which did nothing to dampen the blaze brewing in his angry eyes.

“I’ve been looking for you, Ash.” He snarled my name.

“Oh, yeah? Well, mystery solved. Here I am.” I pushed back to my feet, but was halted when his fist pounded against the table. I jumped as my whole body flinched from the surprise.

When the room fell silent, I slowly looked back up to find him staring at me with a murderous glare. Even sitting down I could tell he was huge, and as he held my gaze, the tense muscles in his neck and shoulders strained against the cotton of his grey Henley. He blinked at me for several seconds before finding his voice again.

“You live in a homeless shelter,” he stated definitively, as if the words told a story all of their own.

And maybe they did.

“I work at a homeless shelter,” I quickly corrected.

Only he corrected me just as fast. “In exchange for a permanent place to live…In. A. Homeless. Shelter.” He enunciated every single syllable.

I looked away, because it was the truth.

A truth that I hated.

But the God’s honest truth nonetheless.

Tears welled in my eyes and I battled to keep them at bay.

My life was hard, but him being there made it infinitely harder. If I could just escape that room, I could disappear again. It wasn’t ideal, but neither was him showing up.

“I want you to leave.” I lied with all the false courage I could muster.

“I can’t do that. You stole something of mine.”

“Look, I don’t have your book anymore.”

A knowing smirk lifted one side of his mouth. “Liar,” he whispered, reaching into the chair beside him, revealing the tattered book and ceremoniously dropping it on the table.

My eyes went wide, and without a conscious thought, I dove across the table after it.

That was mine.

Not even he could have it.

Just as quickly as the book appeared, he snatched it away and grabbed my wrist.

I slid off the table and tried to pull my arm from his grasp. It was a worthless attempt though because even if he had suddenly released me, his blue eyes held me frozen in place.

“Three fucking years,” he seethed.

“I had to,” I squeaked out as the tears streamed down my cheeks.

“Three. Fucking. Years, Ash. You took something that belonged to me.” He released my arm and pushed to his feet.

My mouth fell open and a loud gasp escaped as he took two impossible steps forward.

Pinning me against the wall with his hard body, he lifted a hand to my throat and glided it up until his thumb stroked over my bottom lip. Using my chin, he turned my head, and dragged his nose up my neck, stopping at my ear.

Sucking in a deep breath, he released it on a gravelly demand. “And I want her back.”

My breath hitched.

I’d waited years to hear those words.

If only I could have trusted them.

“Flint, please.”

Review

Often these romance novels that I review are my escape from reality.  I am the stay at home mother of 2 beautiful children and a very supportive husband, but I often find my escape in these sexy and fun novels featuring hot alpha men.  I mean let’s face it, if a man ever did REALLY tell me what to or go all alpha crazy on me, I would probably smack him upside the head.  So, these books are about something different for me, living an alternate life for only 300 pages or so and then going back to my very good REAL life.  But, I have to say that these books in the A Twisted Love Series were completely different for me.  Because I know what it is to love someone with a horrible addiction.  I know what it is to love and lose them to that addiction, so I was very much invested in Maxx and Aubreys story.  I could totally relate and I was totally pulling for Maxx from the very beginning of Lead Me Not all the way to the conclusion of Follow Me Back.

Follow Me Back  picked up right where Lead Me Not left us.  Maxx almost dying and deciding to go to rehab and Aubrey facing all of the consequences of being in a relationship with Maxx.  Which all of that is drama enough ,if you ask me, but throw in the fact that they are still madly and deeply in love with each other you have the recipe for a really emotionally provoking book.

“I couldn’t escape him.  And I was terrified that in the darkest recesses of my heart I still didn’t want to.”

Maxx isn’t giving up on his love for Aubrey even though their relationship had proved to be destructive and too co-dependent for words.  I found myself feeling much like Aubrey for most of this book;  on edge wanting to trust him and knowing that I shouldn’t.  But I couldn’t help rooting for him and his happily-ever-after.

“But I did know one thing.  That I loved this woman in front of me in a way that I would never be able to love anyone else.  It was a deep-in-my-bones, drowning-in-it sort of love.  It was desperate.  It was obliteration.  it was total anarchy in my heart.  It was mine.  It was all that I had.”

This book probably gave me way to many feels, but I honestly loved watching Maxx evolve into a different Maxx.  I loved watching him worm his way back into Aubrey’s life.  I loved watching both of these two damaged people find their way together.

“Kissing Max was like waking up.  Like stepping through the mist into a clearing.  It was love and lust and passion.  It was and anguish and gut-wrenching turmoil.”

A. Meredith Walters took a very sensitive and grueling topic and handled it with beautiful and tender care.  Follow Me Back was emotional, sexy, and a poignant representation of addiction and it’s consequences.  It spoke to me on levels I will never be able to fully explain.  It was just brilliant.

Excerpt”

“We never danced before,” she said softly. Her breath was sweet, citrusy, and he was tempted to lick that sugar from her lips, but uncertainty held him back.

“We never did a whole lot of anything before except fuck.” Exactly what he wanted to do now. And afterward, maybe they could talk, or do what couples did, although never having really been part of a couple, he didn’t know what that would be. Watch TV? Go for a ride? Fuck some more?

“Maybe that’s ’cause that’s all we’re good for together.”

That gave him pause. Yes, he enjoyed sex with Dawn, but he genuinely liked her. She was smart, sweet, sensitive, and funny. She had more grit and determination than anyone he’d met, working three jobs, putting up with Shelly-Ann, never giving up hope she’d get her girls back. He wanted to spend more time with her, but she was always running away.

“Well, we gotta have something together, because now you’re wearing my cut and there’s no turning back.” He brushed his fingers through her beautiful long, blond hair. They had that in common. But Dawn was soft, where he was hard. Curved where he was straight. Sweet where he was bitter.

“If you’d told me three weeks ago I’d be in a biker bar, dancing with a biker and wearing a cut, I’d never have believed you. This was the last thing I ever thought I wanted. Me. A biker’s old lady again.”

His old lady. He liked the sound of it. He liked watching the words on her lips, tumbling over the silky softness and into his heart. Three weeks ago, sitting in his booth at Peelers with Delilah in his lap, he never would have believed he’d have an old lady. “Say it again.”

She licked her lips, and the sight of her little pink tongue made him hard.

“Old lady.”

“My old lady. Say it.”

Dawn studied him for a minute, considering. “Yours.” She leaned up and kissed him and he lost the last threads of his control.

Synopsis

The new Loving on the Edge romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Nothing Between Us turns on the heat between two men who wonder how much they’re willing to risk in the name of love.

Four years after an accident tore their friendship apart, Hunter and Devon are living separate lives. Hunter is now the all-America hero—a congressman’s son and a pro pitcher in Houston preparing to marry his beauty-queen girlfriend. Devon is in Dallas running a new restaurant.

But when Hunter unexpectedly shows up in Devon’s bar, Devon can’t turn him away. Damn it if the man isn’t still gorgeous. But engaged? Hell no. All he’s doing for Devon is bringing back memories of their college-roommate days, and the night their relationship went too far. Turns out Hunter has never forgotten it either.

Now Devon can’t help but be drawn in all over again by the only guy who’s ever gotten close enough to break his heart. Maybe one more night together would be enough for both of them to finally move on. Or maybe one night will change everything…

Review

“Hunter hadn’t lied when Devon had asked if he looked at guys in a sexual way. He didn’t. He was just starting to look at Devon that way. And it was completely fucking with his head.”

Yours All Along is a novella in the Loving On The Edge series but i read it as a standalone and had no problem keeping up with this angsty and sexy male male book! While starting out in the present day most of the book is spent in their college years where Hunter and Devon struggle to ride the fine line between being roommates and giving into their attraction to each other despite the fact that Hunter is straight and Devon is gay and out of the closet.

“I know how casual sex works. I’ve had my share.” “With women. Don’t pretend this is the same thing. Things might seem exciting now – all that unknown. But how are you going to feel the morning after when you wake up and it sinks in that you’ve slept with a dude? That the taste lingering in your mouth is my dick? That your ass is sore because I’ve had my fingers or more inside you?”

When we start Hunter is engaged to be married and his fiance, who he is starting to feel disconnected to, sends him off to Texas to relax and to ask his former BFF Devon to be his best man. Completely unaware of the feelings and history these to shared this trip sets up us flashing back to their past and then spend the majority of the book watching these two best friends become more and try to figure out how all that could possible fit into their lives. Devon is going to be a baseball superstar and the son of a senator a lot if on his shoulders but still he is the most tolerant person around and even offers to room with the new guy in the frat who happens to be gay.

“Here Devon was free . . . and fucking magnetic.”

The beauty in Devon and Hunter’s relationship is that it was built on an open friendship that sparked a chemistry that was impossible to deny. I am a big fan of m/m romance an d my favorite ones are where at least of of the men is straight and not really attracted to other men but then there is this one guy who brings out desires they never knew they had. This book follow that format beautifully and I enjoyed it immensely. Being a novella format basically means we get the condensed version of their story and I loved these two so much I would have enjoyed more from them. Dynamic chemistry and a story filled with angst, drama and years passing was a formula for success and while I had not heard of this author before now I look forward to reading more of her books soon.
