Don’t ask me why we call this recipe Russian Pork. That’s just what my Son-in- law named it. LOL. He got it from a friend in Florida when they were visiting and it became a family favor…

⭐⭐⭐⭐ and 1/2⭐
(4.5 stars)
Intense! Page turning! Edge-of-your-seat heart-stopping Suspense!
From the first page to the last I was totally captivated. This fast paced romantic suspense would not let me put it down. I had to know what would happen next.
I liked the fact that while Melissa had complete confidence that C.J. Would dome to her rescue she wasn’t willing to rely solely on him and showed some backbone and worked with what, and who was at hand to save themselves when the opportunity presented itself. As to whether that worked remains to be seen. (Read the book)
The characters were real, with both flaws and strengths. I laughed, awwwwwed, and “bawled my eyes out” at one point. Needless-to-say, this book evoked a gamut of emotions.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves romantic suspense.
Warning: It can be very graphic in nature at times and is not for the faint-at-heart.

CHANGING ROLES
Genre: Dark Romance/Mystery
BLURB:
Kate Summers’s career on the Police Force came to an implosive end when the Mayor’s wife exposed her secret life as the Mistress of Pain. Kate lost not only her detective’s badge, but something much more valuable. She lost her confidence as a Mistress of men.
She now scrapes by as a private investigator, feeding off the misery of others. When the Mayor and his wife ask her to investigate the murder of their daughter, Kate faces a difficult decision. To follow the leads, she must reenter the world that destroyed her career and go undercover as a submissive to a noted Dom. Only Kate swore she’d never endure the submissive role again.
Yet Jake Davenport is the one dominant fearless enough to not only challenge her rules, but break them. While accepting her new role and the erotic thrill it brings her is difficult enough, Jake’s complicated past raises many questions. As her investigation progresses, the man she’s fallen in love with might just be her number one suspect.

HEARTS INTENSITY An Angel Fire Rock Romance
Genre: Contemporary Rock Romance
Blurb:
Skye Summers endured a tragic past. She wants what the past stole, and despite lingering scars, she’s surviving and thriving. Now she cures the sick, heals the wounded, and takes care of those clinging to life. The only person she can’t heal is herself, because Skye is too broken for love.
Ash Dean has it all: Fame, fortune, and the adoration of screaming fans. The constant parties, drugs, alcohol, and an endless string of one-night stands are taking their toll. He gives and his fans take, until he’s lost within the crowd. He wants someone to see him for the man he wishes to be rather than the one he’s become.
One fate…
Two lives…
Three Days…
That’s the proposition…
It would be insane to accept and Skye’s a fool to agree, but she’s tired of playing it safe, besides what could go wrong?

The cats have a different opinion regarding this matter.
