Reckless Seduction

Haley Feldon’s work with the United Nations means everything to her. She cares more about social progress than filling her social calendar. But that doesn’t stop media mogul Jon Ecklund from pursuing the elegant beauty.Jon’s used to getting what—and who—he wants. And he’s not going to let anything get in his way of knowing Haley. But pain from her past—and a surprise from her future—threaten to destroy everything they’ve started to build. Now Jon’s on a mission to open Haley’s heart…if only she’ll let him.

Young Adult Review: With All My Soul by Rachel Vincent

With All My Soul (Soul Screamers, #7)

What does it mean when your school is voted the most dangerous in America? It’s time to kick some hellion butt…
After not really surviving her junior year (does "undead" count as survival?), Kaylee Cavanaugh has vowed to take back her school from the hellions causing all the trouble. She’s going to find a way to turn the incarnations of Avarice, Envy and Vanity against one another in order to protect her friends and finish this war, once and forever.
But then she meets Wrath and understands that she’s closer to the edge than she’s ever been. And when one more person close to her is taken, Kaylee realizes she can’t save everyone she loves without risking everything she has…

I’ve had this book since the release and was a little worried about the ending. I always fear ending a series, because I never think it will be good enough or that I can accept the book and move on with the characters. I just love Kaylee and Tod, but was a bit worried about their forever.
 
I loved this series and only discovered last year, but already feels like they are part of me, so saying goodbye was really difficult for me, but I actually liked this last book, as always Kaylee was very smart and playing the hellions so that in the end the means could be justified.
 
Can I just say how sorry I am for all the heartbreak Tod has been thought during this series, and this book was the worst of all for him, but I liked seeing him fighting for his love and never giving up. In the end I was happy for everyone and actually liked how everything turned up, but Kaylee suffered alone almost the entire series and I wanted for her to have a normal day for once.

Mystery Review: Reunion in Death by JD Robb

Reunion in Death (In Death, #14)

At exactly 7:30 p.m., Walter Pettibone arrived home to over a hundred friends and family shouting, "surprise!" It was his birthday. Although he had known about the planned event for weeks, the real surprise was yet to come. At 8:45 p.m., a woman with emerald eyes and red hair handed him a glass of champagne. One sip of birthday bubbly, and he was dead. The woman’s name is Julie Dockport. No one at the party knew who she was. But Detective Eve Dallas remembers her all too well. Eve was personally responsible for her incarceration nearly ten years ago. And now, let out on good behavior, she still has nothing but bad intentions. It appears she wants to meet Dallas again – in a reunion neither will forget… "Edgy [and] sexy."-Publishers Weekly

So revenge is usually a good theme to start a book and taking in consideration for how long Eve is working with the NYPSD is fairly simple some bastard would try to get a piece of the best detective, but now she kinda have a little something to lose, or better yet a big something named Roarke that doesn’t like to be followed and makes things more difficult.
 
So this book is all about revenge and how much the system has flaws. Eve did her best to put Julie behind bars and the system let her out and now she decided to start a little game with the best cop ever and the only one able to get her.
 
So I liked this book, I really liked but Eve and Roarke makes things so easy for us to love, especially when he’s taking care of her and making everything better. Plus this is their first anniversary and things are complicated, but I actually loved how romantic he is and Eve is learning a bit of how to shop for presents and gave Roarke a very nice gift.
 
Oh, I almost forgot. Dallas was a mess after everything happened with her in that hotel room and she is starting to relive those things, plus they visited Texas for the case.
