Release Blitz: Bo By Rie Warren




From the world of Carolina Bad Boys . . . Bo Maverick is ex-Force Recon and a force to be reckoned with.

Bo:

I’m a lover, not a fighter. Yeah, right. Talk about bullshit. I’ve been fighting all my life, and I know zip about love. Frankly, I don’t want to. More than bullets whizzing past my head or the very real possibility of ending up dead, love scares the shit out of me. I’m used to guns and killing, blood and dust. 

Lust.

That’s what I feel for this woman, my goddamn shrink, Veronica. Doctor Hartley digs inside my head. She asks me questions, which I never answer. I’d much rather take the smart, sexy Doc to bed, but I can’t because of our clinical relationship. 

My last Force Recon mission destroyed any semblance of humanity I had left. Those little triggers go off all the time now. When I’m asleep. When I’m awake. When the memories are raw. I bolt up, at knife point again, but there’s no enemy now. 

Just Veronica and me. 

Veronica:

Veronica. Doctor Hartley. I told Bo to call me Ronnie like everyone else, but he refuses. He shows up like he has a cattle prod shoved up his ass and sits through the allotted hour for his counseling session impervious to every approach. He’s powerful, forceful, explosive. He doesn’t scare me. 

My marine doesn’t speak, but his sharp gaze pierces me all the same. He watches me with all the greed of a hunger never sated, a need never fulfilled. A desire never explored. He stows his secrets safely away, but I’m patient. I’ll get to him if he doesn’t get to me first. 

And when I have him? I’ll want him forever. I know this. But I can’t. His past might be complicated, but mine is a minefield, one that will blow up in our faces before all is said and done.

Too bad. We could be so good together.

Warning: Graphic sex, graphic action, graphic language. Triple X caution.
After my disappointment with the previous book, I was wondering if Bo would redeem this series in my eyes or not.  Now don’t get me wrong I liked Kincaid but I didn’t love it so to say I was being careful when I began to read Bo would be an understatement.

I knew that Bo would be suffering from PTSD and that would mold him into who he was so I wasn’t surprised at the emotions I felt for him and for what he had gone through.  I just didn’t know that his book would not only have my heart breaking for him but also renewed my love of this series and author.  I loved Veronica, I loved Bo, I loved the sexual tension and I loved that I was drawn into this book right from the start.  I won’t go into detail so I don’t give any spoilers away but just be prepared to feel so many emotions for Bo, both good and at times bad, but know you will feel period.  

I really want Cole’s book asap because he’s another that I am getting anxious about reading about and knowing.  If you are like me and wasn’t sure about Bo, give it a shot anyways because it made me want to continue on and read more about these men.

Virtual Tour: Protector For Hire By Tawna Fenske


Haunted by his time in Iraq, former soldier Schwartz Patton goes off the grid, retreating deep into Montana’s untamed wilderness. Now, ten years into his self-imposed solitude, his brother tracks him down and asks for a favor. A woman is in danger, and she needs help...and Schwartz is the only one who can protect her.

Designer-loving city girls like Janelle Keebler don't belong in the wilderness. Unless, of course, they're witnesses to a murder by their psycho drug-trafficking ex-husbands. Still, Janelle can't help the immediate physical response she has to her sexy-as-sin protector that leaves her wanting more than she could have ever imagined. Even if he does make terrible coffee...

Every word, every touch, every kiss ignites a need Schwartz thought he’d lost forever. He can't stop the desperate attraction simmering between him and Janelle, even if he wanted to. Even if it means it could get them both killed.


I know when I read a book by Tawna Fenske I am going to get some laughs, some romance, a couple eye rolling moments, and over all a good book to pass the afternoon or night with.  Protector For Hire had all of those things and didn’t disappoint. On a side note, if you haven’t read this series from the start you can get away without missing too much but you would understand some of the histories and dynamics of the group if you began by reading the first book.

I have wanted to know about the reclusive Swartz since I started this series and he was honestly kind of like I pictured him in my mind, hard outside but a soft and warm center on the inside.  There is a reason for his seclusion and as a wife of a former military member I felt for him because I know that is always a huge fear for anyone going into a war zone.  Yeah I am not saying what that is because I want you to read it for yourself.  I liked Janelle’s character as well, she was what Swartz needed in his life even if he did fight his feelings. 


Overall Protector For Hire was good for some laugh out loud moments, those eye rolls I told you about (but they weren’t a bad thing I promise), a feeling that love can help heal old wounds, both physical and emotional, and that everyone deserves a little happiness in their life.
