BLURB
It's said that your life flashes before your eyes when you die. 
It must only happen to those whose lives were worthy.
Clearly, mine was not. 

The only thing that happened to me was a repeat of what I thought was my death. The blast of the gun as it went off. The loss of my breath as two hundred pounds of dead weight dropped on top of me. And then darkness. 
This replayed over and over. 
When the guy squatted down next to me and asked if I was hurt, the only thing I could see, feel, hear, were those few seconds. Even now, as I sat in the back of a blacked out van—it was the only thing that ran through my mind. 
Gunshot, breath, darkness.

The One for Me (Danvers #8)


by

The New York Times bestselling author of Watch Over Me delivers a steamy new novel of irresistible attraction in her popular Danvers series.

Mark DeSanto has never denied himself anything—especially in the bedroom. Rich, attractive, and successful, men envy him and women desire him. But when a sweet, guileless beauty faints at his feet, he suddenly finds himself wondering if it’s time to look for something more lasting...

Until her divorce, Crystal Webber never knew what it was like to follow her heart. Now she wants to experience all life has to offer. So when she catches a glimpse of Mark DeSanto in the halls of Danvers International, she’s instantly infatuated—and eager to join him for a walk on the wild side. Fainting at his feet wasn’t her plan, but at least it got his attention...

But for the first time, Mark wants to take things slow, which—considering the electricity between them—may take far more willpower than he’s ever had.

My The One for Me Review . . .

I adore this series.  It's full of charm, humor, love, friendship, loyalty, family and passion.  In The One for Me, we finally get Mark's story.   Mark DeSanto has always been a bit of a mystery with his never attached dominant ways.   Even though he's the king of one night stands he's always been there when he's needed with his friends.  Crystal Webber is Ella's sister.  She's also been a bit repressed with her emotionally abusive mother and lackluster ex-husband.  After seeing Ella have her HEA she new that she wanted more, so she left her husband and filed for a divorce.


Post divorce Crystal now works at Danvers and has a lust crush on Mark Destudo aka Danver's Mr. Big.  It's was a crush from a far, she may have casually stalked Mark but never made a full attempt to start anything with him.  Especially since she thinks Mark is way out of her league.

However, one fateful day Crystal vomits on Mark and he then in turn takes care of her and never really lets her go after that.  At first Mark is determined to take care of Crystal but doesn't know why she's so different than any woman in his life before.  He knows he wants her but doesn't think he can give her what he thinks she needs.  But what's a bit of harmless flittering?

"Oh, for heaven's sake, admit you're mad at me for dissing you on Twitter! I can't take much more of this civilized bullying."

At first these two start with twitter fore play but then things take a turn for the worse, which makes Crystal take matters into her own hands by convincing Mark she only wants a sex only relationship.  Now that he knows what she wants, Mark gives in to Crystal.  But after he dives in, he immediately knows things are different and he doesn't know how to handle it.

" . . . I've never had to deal with feelings such as jealousy.  Apparently, it turns me into a bit of an asshole."

These Danver's alpha men always try to do whats right even though they often make the wrong decision.   What first starts as a sex only relationship turns into so much more for these two.

"I swear.  What is it with you men and this honor-able, do-the-right-thing crap?"

These two would've had a much easier time if they communicated better instead of running and of course if they had better parental units, but these issues did happen causing these two some angst before they gave in to love.

This was charmingly sweet.  I absolutely loved Mark.  One of the things that made Mark so charming was his relationship with his cousin Denny and also his naivety towards relationships.  Some of their angst was unnecessary but part of the journey for these two.  I absolutely adore this series.  Sure there were some better than others but all the characters are fantastic and their banter between each other is what truly makes this series.


4 Charmingly sweet thumbs up!

Blurb

As the president of the Sin City Outlaw Motorcycle Club, l fuck as hard as I ride and rarely go to bed alone.
The women are fast and the violence is intense.
I excel in both.
People either respect me or fear me. I'm not arrogant. It’s just the truth.
I was a king, reigning over Vegas without complication, until one gorgeous sheriff made everything fall apart.
When I saw her, I became a Neanderthal, wanting nothing more than to be between those legs.
I guess that’s where I went wrong, because my reality was shot to hell real
fucking fast.
One kiss caused her to step over that blue line.
One night in her bed made me a traitor.
And now… we’re both screwed.

EXCERPT
“Really? You got me donuts?” I arch a brow, dropping the lid.
He turns, a mischievous smile fitting his face.
“Don’t all cops like donuts?” he jeers. I roll my eyes, placing my hand on my hip.
“That’s so stereotypical,” I huff.
“Oh, really?” he replies, grabbing the box off the table, a smug smile still on his face.
“I’ll get rid of them then.”
“No, wait!” I nearly trip over my feet trying to grab the box of donuts. He holds them higher than me and smiles so big I think I see two dimples. Really, he’s pulling the notorious bully move holding them just above my reach? Why am I attracted to him again?
“I thought you didn’t like them,” he taunts.
“I do like them. A lot, actually.” I cross my arms, my cheeks flushing. My dad used to always take me to the local bakery to get donuts on the weekends. I would get whatever I wanted—usually anything with sprinkles—and we would drop the rest off at the department. What can I say, embrace your stereotypes.
“So, it’s true. Cops love donuts,” he states arrogantly, sitting the box back down.

My Reign Review . . .

This is my first M.N. Forgy book (insert gasp here).  After reading the synopsis I signed up for this opportunity, but lately every MC book as been a bit disappointing, which has been sad for me as I'm a bit of a junkie with this genre.  Thankfully this book was a pleasant surprise.

Zeek is the president of his MC but to get there he had to make many sacrifices.  Jillian is a rookie sheriff with something to prove.  An MC outlaw and a sheriff seem like the most unlikely duo but they seem to work.


At first it's just attraction because it would be a death sentence for either to give in . . .  but that attraction was more powerful than logic.

"A Cock-A-Saurus Rex."  She hakes her head.  "You lucky bitch."

It starts out quick and dirty for these two, but ends up heavy and real soon after.

"You're the first light in my life after ling a lifetime of darkness."

As both start to realize that not all is what it seems to be in their worlds, they're forced with many truths and consequences that they're now forced to deal with.

"You don't realize the savage acts you're capable of until you are backed into a corner.  You just have to broaden your outlook on what's right and wrong to find your place."

By the end I was getting into this book and looking forward to the resolution or solution for Zeek and Jillian then . . . the dreaded cliff hanger happened and now we are left waiting to find out what is in store for them.  PLUS, now I have to read the first series Devil's Dust to really get the whole story, which won't be a real hardship to do, lets be honest. :)

Did I enjoy it?  Yes, for the most part.  Will I continue with the series?  Yes. Will I read more from this author?  Yes.  Did I like Zeek and Jillian together?  Yes, even though they shouldn't work they do.  Did I find this MC more to my liking?  Yes, this MC was dark, dirty and raw.  No MC lite for this book. 

4 Cock-A-Saurus Rex thumbs up!
