Getting close to Clay is intoxicating, but Melissa must keep her wits about her if she s to protect them from a man with deadly intentions “

 

 

Review:

Face the Flames by Jo Davis is the 6th book in her Sugarland Blue series.  We have been waiting for Clay’s story, and it did not disappoint.  Almost immediately, we see Clay in a major accident driving the Fire station emergency vehicle.  The story then shifts to months later, as Clay is still in rehab, pushing himself to be able to prove he can go back to work at the Fire House, but Clay still has a way to go.

While painfully pushing himself doing walking exercises, Clay notices a robbery attempt.  He was just in time to save the young boy behind the counter, but the robber got away.  It is here that we meet our heroine, Detective Melissa Ryan, as she reports to the scene of the crime.

Both Melissa and Clay are attracted to each other from the start, as their chemistry heats up the place quickly.  Clay has always been a playboy, and teases his co-workers who have found their mates; but his perspective after the accident changes him, and he slowly begins to see that maybe just maybe he wants to find one girl to spend his life with.  Though he is somewhat handicapped, he is determined to court Melissa.

Melissa is new to Sugarland and the police force.  She has been a cop for years, but decides to return home to help bring her criminal uncle to justice.  The focus of this story besides Clay and Melissa’s scorching hot romance, is the tense danger that both Melissa and Clay will be put in the middle of, as her Uncle and his men will stop at nothing to bring them down.

Rather than tell too much more would be spoilers, but the story is intense at times, and very sexy other times.  I thought that this story did have more sexual scenes then in the other books, which at times did take away somewhat from the other tense story line.  I love seeing the other characters from Sugarland play a part, especially Melissa & Clay’s co-workers.   Both Clay and Melissa were wonderful together, and Melissa was very supportive in Clay’s determination to be able to go back to being a fire fighter.  Face the Flames was a wonderful exciting story, with a great couple, great supporting cast, and a evil villain.  I suggest you read the entire Sugarland Blue series.

Bring the Heat
Sugarland Blue series – Book #5
by Jo Davis
Release Date: December 1, 2015

Bring the heatAmazon / Barnes & Noble / BAM / The Book Depository

Description:
Being on the Sugarland P.D. means never backing down, no matter how intense the case—or how dangerous the attraction…

Captain Austin Rainey knows all too well that being a good cop sometimes means gaining some bad enemies. After his ex-wife is killed, he finds himself on the wrong side of the law, trying to prove he’s innocent of her murder. The last thing he needs is a distraction—especially of the irresistible female kind…

Medical examiner Laura Eden has always found Austin more than a little intriguing, but she’s kept her feelings under wraps. Now she’s determined to do her job and clear his name—but as her investigation brings them into close proximity, she can’t deny the attraction between them—or resist the temptation he presents.

But Laura and Austin soon realize their budding feelings might be more than emotionally perilous. Someone is coming after everyone Austin holds dear—and Laura might be the next one in the line of fire…

 

 

Review:

Bring the Heat by Jo Davis is the 5th book in her Sugarland Blues series. Captain Austin Rainey has been part of the Sugarland Blues series, and in Bring the Heat, it is now his story. In the last book, he nearly died and is now just coming back to work at the Sugarland Police Department. Austin is awaiting the birth of his son by his ex-wife in a few weeks, with their relationship not being amicable.   But a tragedy strikes, and Austin will find himself as a possible suspect in the murder of his ex wife and his unborn son.

Laura Eden is our heroine, and she is the medical examiner. When Laura arrives on the scene, she sees a shell shocked Austin sitting in a police car. Laura has been crushing on Austin for awhile, knowing about his divorce, but was not sure how he felt. She knew, as well as all the cops who work for Austin, that he was innocent. Unable to handle the loss of his son, Austin puts his own life in danger by drinking himself into alcohol poisoning. It will take the other Sugarland cops and Laura to help Austin recover. Laura will find out that those feelings she has for Austin have been reciprocated.

Austin will learn quickly that his wife and sons murder is just the beginning, as a stalker is set on revenge against him, and anyone close to him.   While they all investigate the murders, having no idea who or why someone is out to destroy Austin’s life; both Laura and Austin begin to fall hard for each other and their relationship becomes very steamy. Austin’s fears for Laura’s life will make him want to push her away, but Laura won’t let him protect her that way.

What follows is a very exciting mystery to find the killer before they hurt or kill anyone else. The exciting climax will put both Laura and Austin’s life in danger, and the entire Sugarland P.D. will work overtime to try to protect them. But the insane killer is always one step ahead of them.

This was an extremely suspenseful story, and the couple was sizzling together. I will say that the last half of the book became a bit more erotic, which was totally different then the first half, which was very well written. I thought the many sex scenes when the story was intense and very exciting, was overdone. However, that being said, the story and the characters were great, and this is a wonderful series. Do you want to know what happens? I suggest you read Bring the Heat.

On The Run by Jo Davis – Review & Giveaway

On The Run by Jo Davis – Review & Giveaway

 

On The Run Banner

 

On The RunAmazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / The Book Depository / BAM



Description:
Detective Tonio Salvatore always puts his job first—until a beautiful piece of trouble has him questioning the rules he’s sworn to live by…

Tonio knows that loneliness is the price he has to pay to avoid being hurt again. But the strictly by-the-book cop never expected to be blindsided by a woman who pulls him right out of his self-imposed isolation.

Angel Silva isn’t just from the wrong side of the tracks—she’s on the wrong side of the law. She’s desperate to break free from her dangerous brother and his gang, but when a sexy new recruit joins them, Angel is more trapped than ever—because the ruthless Tonio Reyes isn’t what he seems. When she discovers the man she’s falling for is one of Sugarland’s finest, she’s forced to go on the run.

Instead of taking Angel into custody, Tonio finds himself risking his career to keep her safe. And as the beautiful woman tears down all his defenses, Tonio realizes he’ll risk his very life to set her free.

 

Review:

On the Run by Jo Davis is the 4th book in her Sugarland Blue series. I have enjoyed every book in this series, as it has everything, such as romance, suspense, great couples, exciting, action packed and hot steamy sex scenes.

Our hero in this book is Tonio, who is Chris’s (the hero in the last book) partner. He is working undercover to bring down a dangerous criminal and his gang. Tonio infilters Rab’s gang, but does not plan on meeting Angel, our heroine, who is the sister of the man he is trying to get. Angel runs the bar, and though she has many issues with her brother, she tries to ignore what he does and stay out of trouble.

When Angel meets Tonio, she finds herself attracted to him, but wants nothing to do with anyone who is part of her brother’s gang. But there is something about Tonio that makes him difficult to avoid. She has this feeling that he is not what he seems to be.

As their relationship heats up, the villain becomes even more vicious., putting both of their lives in danger. What follows is an exciting intense adventure, where Tonio finds himself in a predicament that he cannot get out of, and will do anything to keep Angel safe. Her brother reacts to what he perceives to be a betrayal from both of them, which is not good, as he is a madman.

Despite the help from Chris, and the Sugarland Police, Tonio is in deep trouble, finding himself in a near death situation. Angel, having fallen in love with Tonio, will work with the police to help find Tonio, but the villain is always a step ahead. Will they find Tonio in time? Will Angel be able to stop her crazy brother?

On the Run was so exciting and intense, I could not put this book down until I found out what will happen, as we raced to the thrilling climax. Jo Davis once again gives us a wonderful suspenseful and romantic story. Tonio and Angel made an unlikely, but wonderful couple. Davis continues her trademark of creating exciting stories, super hot couples, sexy romances, intense danger, suspense, and wonderful friendships. If you love romance, mystery, suspense, and great characters, then this series is a must read for you.

In His Sights
Sugarland Blues series – Book #3
by Jo Davis
Release Date: September 2, 2014

In His sightsAmazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / The Book Depository

Description:
When a dangerous criminal targets those whom Sugarland detective Chris Ford holds dear, nothing will stop him from hunting down his man.…

Chris is one the best and brightest at the Sugarland PD, but lately a mysterious illness has him struggling to get through the day. When his symptoms land him in the care of brilliant and sexy Dr. Robyn Lassiter, Chris realizes that he is the latest victim in a rash of mysterious poisonings in the area—most of them fatal. Figuring out who’s causing the fatal outbreak has become a very personal—and deadly—race against time.

Despite battling her own personal demons and painful past, Dr. Robyn Lassiter can’t fight her attraction to her new patient. But as she struggles to help Chris track down the sick mind behind the deaths, she’s not only at risk of losing her heart but of falling headlong into a lethal plot that could take her life.…

 

Review:

In His Sights by Jo Davis is the 3rd novel in her Sugarland Blue series. I looked forward to reading this book, as I really enjoyed the first two books in this series.   Chris Ford is our hero, and he is a detective on the Sugarland police force. Chris has only been in Sugarland for a few months, having moved there to be near his cousin Shane (also a detective, and one of our heroes in the earlier books). Chris has just about recovered from an injury on the job, but he tries to hide from others that he is feeling seriously under the weather. He pushes himself back to work

Dr. Robyn Lassiter is our heroine, and as she is walking with her young daughter, Maddy, she comes across Chris, who was approached by Maddy as looking sickly. Robyn tries to help, but Chris perks up when he sees her, and soon he will go all out to win over the beautiful doctor and her precious daughter.

While a romance is about to begin, a mystery develops that starts with Robyn at the hospital losing a patient to a heart attack. She becomes suspicious with the recent similar deaths that have been happening. She enlists the aid of the medical examiner to check into the symptoms of the deceased. While this will take time, poor Chris is unknowingly the next victim of a serial killer.

The romance between Chris and Robyn was very sweet and sensual. Chris knew he was falling hard for Robyn, and Maddy. He was not only hot, but so so sweet to both of them….a perfect match. The only issue was Robyn was hesitant to become involved in a relationship, having lost her husband a few years ago, and she did not want to get hurt again. But love will prevail, if Chris will survive the serial killer.

Both Robyn and Chris begin to suspect something might be very wrong in his house, since when he stayed over at Robyn’s ( yes very sexy nights), he would feel so much better.

As the mystery deepens, the danger escalates and the fierce breathtaking ride to the climatic ending made it impossible to put this book down. In His Sights is another wonderful story that was romance suspense at its best. In the middle of this suspenseful intense mystery, the romance was great, as I loved both Chris and Robyn. Jo Davis does it again with a fantastic addition to this fabulous series. If you love romance, mystery, suspense and a wonderful couple, then look no further than In His Sights.

Hot Pursuit
Sugarland Blue – Book 2

Release Date: November 5. 2013

hot pursuitLinks to order Hot Pursuit: Amazon / Barnes & Noble / Kobo / The Book Depository

Description:
In Sugarland, Detective Taylor Kayne is always ready with quick wit and a quicker smile. But he’s about to meet a woman who will make him want to take his sweet time….

Taylor is a laid-back, smart-aleck kind of lawman. He’s also a man’s man, as well as every woman’s private fantasy. But years ago, he was part of a botched hostage situation that ended with him being hailed as a tough-as-nails hero—even though the pain, fear, and shame from that terrible day still haunt his every moment.

Cara Evans couldn’t care less about Taylor’s pain. In the moment he became a so-called hero, she lost someone she dearly loved. Yet neither of them is prepared for the instant, undeniable attraction that flares between them—or the danger that’s soon hot on their heels.


Review:

Hot Pursuit by Jo Davis is the 2nd book in her Sugarland Blue series.  This is a wonderful series that is romance suspense at its best.  I had enjoyed the first book in this series, and Hot Pursuit continued the trend of a great couple, suspense, romance, and hot steamy sex scenes. 

Taylor Kayne is our hero, and another hot hunk on the Sugarland Blue police force.  He is partners with our first book hero, Shane.  Taylor though is troubled by something that happened in the past that still haunts him; a rescue attempt that backfired resulting in the death of some hostages.  Taylor keeps his nightmares to himself, only letting Shane in a little bit.  Then one day, a truck comes barreling down the street directly at Taylor.  He luckily escaped with minimal injuries, but someone is out to get Taylor.

Cara Evans, a rock band singer, is our heroine.  Cara and her band are staying in Sugarland. But Cara has another motive, and Taylor is the one in her sights for revenge.  Cara’s sister was killed in that hostage situation, and she has been mislead to think that Taylor was responsible for her sister’s death. 

What follows is an exciting story that had non stop action throughout.  Taylor meets Cara while watching her band, becomes attracted to her immediately. Cara, though shocked, takes advantage of this break, and plays up to Taylor.  But in a short time, their attraction is undeniable, and they both have such hot sexual chemistry together. Cara begins to see a good side to Taylor.  He is always helping people, especially Blake, whom he has taken under his wing, and whom Cara has given a job helping with the band.   

With threats and accidents from someone who wants both of them dead, they will open up to each other and discover the truth.  Then the mystery is on to find out who is behind the attempts on their lives, as well as to why.  This is a very exciting action filled story throughout, and poor Taylor gets hurt a few times.  But as I said before, the romance which happened fast, was very very hot and steamy.  They made a wonderful couple.  The last ¼ of the book was an edge of your seat suspense thriller, which it did not look like our couple would survive.  But despite those tense scenes, I also knew in romance, normally there is an HEA. 

Jo Davis did another wonderful job with this second edition of Sugarland Blue.  She has created a wonderful series that has it all…exciting stories, super hot couple, romance, danger, suspense, friendship from a great group of secondary characters, and hot hot hot sex. If you love all of these things, then you must read this series.

Description:
Sugarland loves their men in blue, especially Detective Shane Ford. But Shane’s mission to protect and to serve has just gotten personal…

Detective Shane Ford, Sugarland’s favorite cop, has been blindsided by the sudden death of his best friend, NFL star Brad Cooper, and becoming the legal guardian of Brad’s son, Drew—a bitter, angry sixteen-year-old with a dangerous secret. Shane is determined to pry the truth from Drew, but only manages to alienate him—and winds up going head to head with Juvenile Detective Daisy Callahan, whose job is to protect the teen’s best interests.

Shane has always been drawn to Daisy’s beauty and strength, but he’s determined not to allow their intense attraction to interfere with his duty ever again. It’s a vow that will prove difficult to keep, as the realities of Shane and Daisy’s blossoming love and their growing bond with the grieving teen propel Shane headlong into danger for the new family he’s sworn to protect.

Review:

Sworn to Protect is the first book in Jo Davis’s new Sugarland Blue series.  This is my first time reading anything by Jo Davis, and this will not be my last.  Sworn to Protect is Contemporary Romance Suspense, and an excellent fun read. 

We meet our hero, Shane Ford, at the Sugarland police station, as all the detectives were sitting around complaining of boredom, and the simple cases they get.  Shortly thereafter, Shane and another detective are called onto a murder case. 

During this time, Shane laments his lost relationship with Daisy, a female cop in the Juvenile division.  Daisy Callahan is our heroine, and she makes a wonderful caring cop, who works with young & teenage children.  She still loves Shane, but was hurt badly when they broke up.  Shane was not ready to settle down, and now he regrets his actions, especially every time he sees Daisy, who is very beautiful and sexy, as all the men ogle Daisy, which makes Shane angry. 

When Shane’s best friend dies, he has to take care of his teenage god-son, Drew.  It is Daisy, who drops everything to help Shane, who needs all the help he can get trying to be a father figure to Drew.  From this point on, this becomes a multi faceted story of a beautiful romance,  a teenage boy trying to rebuild his life and get past a terrible tragedy, of friends and family joining together to help those they care about, and a murder mystery that puts a few lives in danger.  Shane and Daisy made the perfect couple, and their steamy sex scenes were on fire.  During the suspense of tying together a mystery that will tie all the pieces together, it was a wonderful story of true romance, with a great cast of wonderful characters.  I really enjoyed this story, as I read this in one day.  I plan to continue to read this series.

INTERVIEW with Jo Davis

Jo Davis

FOLLOW: Website / Goodreads/| Facebook | Twitter

TRC: Hi Jo and welcome to The Reading Café.  You have a busy 2013 planned with several new releases and spin off series.

Jo: Thank you for having me here! Yes, 2013 has been crazy, and 2014 even more so, in a good way!

TRC: We would like to start with some background information.  Would you please tell us something about yourself?

Jo: I’m a multi-published author who currently writes under 2 pen names, and I’ve been writing for 13 years. I’m a mother of 2 awesome almost-grown kids, and I just bought a new home that we’re having fun decorating.

TRC: How do you handle the combined pressures of writing deadlines and family life?

Jo: It’s not easy! I try to balance work with taking breaks. I go to lunch, dinner, and movies with my kids for special outings. I take a break and make dinner at home. We talk about our day and try hard to enforce a “No Smartphones” rule at the table! Family grounds me and so I try not to get too carried away in work.

TRC: Many authors bound ideas and information with other authors or family. With whom do you bounce ideas?

Jo: I discuss plotting and such with my critique partners, Tracy Garrett and Suzanne Ferrell. They are invaluable to me.

TRC: SWORN TO PROTECT is the first full length storyline in your new Sugarland Blue series.  Would you please tell us something about the premise?

Sugarland Blue CollageJo: The Sugarland Blue series centers on the heroes of the Sugarland Police Department and is about our men in blue, the dangers they face, and the women who love them. The series kicks off with Detective Shane Ford and his long awaited stories. The first one is a novella, ARMED AND DANGEROUS, which is a prequel to the series and has some history of Shane and Daisy. It doesn’t have to be read to enjoy the first full-length book, SWORN TO PROTECT. Here’s a blurb for SWORN:

Detective Shane Ford, Sugarland’s favorite cop, has been blindsided by the sudden death of his best friend, NFL star Brad Cooper, and becoming the legal guardian of Brad’s son, Drew—a bitter, angry sixteen-year-old with a dangerous secret. Shane is determined to pry the truth from Drew, but only manages to alienate him—and winds up going head to head with Juvenile Detective Daisy Callahan, whose job is to protect the teen’s best interests.

Shane has always been drawn to Daisy’s beauty and strength, but he’s determined not to allow their intense attraction to interfere with his duty ever again. It’s a vow that will prove difficult to keep, as the realities of Shane and Daisy’s blossoming love and their growing bond with the grieving teen propel Shane headlong into danger for the new family he’s sworn to protect.

henry cavill TRC: In your mind, which actor or model would be the ideal image of your leading characters Daisy Callahan and Shane Ford?

Jo: The extremely versatile and sexy Henry Cavill IS Shane! I couldn’t ask for a more perfect specimen of male hotness to portray my much-loved detective. As for Daisy… I’m not sure. Readers, which blonde actress do you think would make a good Daisy?

TRC: ONE LAST KISS is the first storyline in your new FBI series Armed and Deadly.  Would you please tell us something about the premise of the book and the series?

One Last KissJo: This series is romantic suspense, but will be much darker and grittier than my other series written as Jo Davis, more along the lines of early Linda Howard or Lisa Jackson. Each hero in the FBI series will get his own book. I’m working on editing the first book to get it up for publication by June—heavy deadline with my current publisher has set me back, but I’m determined to get it done! Here’s the blurb for ONE LAST KISS:

They are the FBI’s best. Men and women who put their lives on the line, hunting the most dangerous, depraved criminals lurking in the underbelly of society. No situation is too treacherous, no risk too great to bring down their enemies. But for love, they’ll risk everything…

Special Agent Dominick “Nick” Roth is the FBI’s fallen star, a man on the brink of self-destruction, slowly drowning in guilt and grief due to his part in his partner’s death two years ago. Nick is ready to resign from the Bureau—until the monster who calls himself “Samson” goes back on the hunt, forcing Nick to play his deadly game once more.

Reeling in the wake of her best friend’s murder at the hands of an infamous serial killer, Lena DeAngelis demands justice. When she learns that the agent who knows Samson better than anyone refuses to rejoin the search to catch the murderer, Lena seeks him out and won’t accept “no” for an answer—Nick Roth is going to find the sadistic bastard and destroy him once and for all.

As passion ignites between Nick and Lena, a shocking web of obsession and murder comes to light…and a devastating truth rocks Nick to his core. Samson is closer than anyone realized, always remaining one step ahead—and Lena may be his next victim. Nick vows to take down the cunning monster, but success may come with a terrible price…

TRC: You also write a paranormal shifter series –ALPHA PACK-under the pen name J.D. Tyler.  What are you plans for this series?

Hunter's HeartJo: I’m about to begin work on book 5, COLE’S REDEMPTION, which will be Zander Cole’s story. He’s the Healer of the Pack, and he’s suffered a devastating injury (in BLACK MOON) that has left him feeling worthless to his team. His story promises to be a heartbreaker… I’ve also just signed a new contract for 2 more Alpha Pack books, for books 6 & 7, so the Pack will get more stories!

TRC: Do your storyline characters speak to you and tell you the direction of the story or do you direct the characters?

Jo: The characters definitely direct me! They speak to me and tell me the direction the story is supposed to go, and they repeatedly refuse to cooperate when I want to do something different than they have planned. They usually win the argument!

TRC: What do you believe is the biggest misconception about yourself?

Jo: I’m not sure… Perhaps that just because I’m quiet when people first meet me doesn’t mean I am. I’m not quiet at all once you get to know me!

TRC: What five things would you like to accomplish in the next ten years?

Jo:
New York Times bestseller list
USA Today bestseller list
Be nominated/ win a RITA award
Make my first million $
Buy a mountain lake retreat

Completely do-able, right?!

TRC: If you could select one reality show in which you were one of the contestants, which show would you choose and why?

Jo: EXTREME MAKEOVER, body edition! I’d love for those guys to march in, take me by the hand, and give me a complete, fabulous new me. I’m on the 40-something slide and feeling every year of it…

TRC: On what are you currently working?

Jo: Right now I’m finishing HOT PURSUIT, Sugarland Blue #2, for publication in September. This is Detective Taylor Kayne’s story and promises to be a hot one!
