[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh has captivated millions with her sizzling tales.  Here, together for the first time, in a short story collection:

Reno’s Chance
Ever since she was a girl, Raven has longed for her friend's brother, Reno, a Navy SEAL. What she doesn't realize is that his true mission is to get into her heart.

For Maggie's Sake
Maggie is in custody with Joe's SEALs team.  Joe, her ex-lover, thinks Maggie is hiding information.  He plans to seduce her to get it, but when an enemy captures Maggie, only Joe can save her.

Atlanta Heat
Em has wanted Macey forever. But as a SEAL under the command of her overprotective godfather, Macey is off-limits…until a kidnapping attempt forces them to share close quarters—and a forbidden desire.

Night Hawk
For three years, Travis “Black Jack” Caine and Lillian “Night Hawk” Belle have been meeting, late at night. No names given. But tonight is different. An enemy has returned, and Travis and Lillian may never meet again.  Are they brave enough to give in to desire and stand together?

Cooper’s Fall
Former ranger Ethan never expected to get an eyeful of prim Sarah Fox from his window. But now his blood is on fire for her.

Sheila’s Passion
As an ex-Marine, Nick's been through some hard things.  But when it comes to Sheila, he has his biggest challenge yet. Sheila has sworn off love, but when Nick tempts her into becoming friends with benefits, he intends to make her his forever.

My Review:

Join hot alpha males in their missions to protect and serve is this thrilling collection of tales by Lora Leigh.  Reno’s true mission is to get into Raven’s heart Joe’s mission is to seduce hidden information from Maggie - his ex-lover, Macey mission is to share close quarters with Em - a forbidden love, Travis’ mission is to be brave enough to give in to desire and stand with Lillian, Ethan’s mission is to fight the fire in his blood for Sarah and Nick’s mission is to tempt Shelia into becoming friends with benefits.

These fast paced and smooth flowing plots keep readers on the edge with action, suspense, drama and passion.  The author brings the stories to life with well written scenes and details that capture the imagination and the well orchestrated suspense and drama draws the reader deeper into the stories. The characters are strong, compelling, easily related to and grab the reader’s attention from the very beginning of each tale.

The chemistry between each of these hot alpha males and the females their hearts desire blazes hot from every page and the sex scenes are hot and steamy. Each story gives readers emotional drama and heart-warming HEA’s between special heroines and men that deserve all the happiness that is their due.  These sexy military men cause lots of heart flutters and stimulates the senses and I should warn  you they cause some pretty intense fantasies.

The action and suspense in each of the stories is exciting, believable and gets the heart pumping adding lots of spice to the romance.  The author keeps the reader on their toes with some surprising twists and turns and fascinating characters that invite the reader to join them on their journey.  While the stories a little short, each one compliments the series that they are a part of and are enjoyable, entertaining and ensure that the reader wants to read more of the thrilling books in the series.
