​"Yes, priorities,” Vlad agreed in a light tone. Then to Ian, he said, “Touch me again, and I’ll feed your limbs to a pack of wolves.”                             Ian shook his head. “Can’t even pretend to be marginally sane, can you?" Into the Fire by Jeaniene Frost

“First in , Last out."  Motto of the Bridgeburners.

"Let me quote: 'Do you want seduction, dinners, and gifts? Seduction is a game, and if you pay enough flattery, money, or attention, you get what you want. I thought you were above the game.' Did you not say that to me a week before you strolled into my garage to invite me on 'a date'?" "Yes. I wanted to skip the bullshit." "So what happened? You changed your mind and now you want the bullshit?" Rogan's phone chimed. "Yes, I want your bullshit." "Well, you don't get to have any of my bullshit. I'm keeping it." Okay, and that didn't sound childish. Not at all." "Why not?" "Because you call it bullshit." White Hot ~~Ilona Andrews

Don't judge this book by its cover! There are a bunch of Ilona Andrews fans around here, Wenches who have loved the Kate Daniels series for years, and even one or two who enjoy their Cleansweep series. I fully admit that I am not one of those Wenches; I don't enjoy Kate Daniels, it's just not my cup of tea, and I've never read a Cleansweep book. So way back in 2014 when an ARC of the brand-new Burn for Me showed up on my doorstep, I put it in an envelope and mailed it to Wench Amanda, and promptly forgot about it.

Have you ever read one of Lisa Renee Jones’s books? Her stories are a blend of drama, suspense, and dark erotica. Escaping Reality ( The Secret Life of Amy Benson #1) was my first experience with LRJ’s books. The heroine, Amy, was on the run, her life in mortal danger, and I was running with her, unable to figure out whom to trust, who was friend, and who was foe. That series made me look for more from this author. Next, I picked up If I Were You , the first installment in the Inside Out series. After the jump, I’ll share my take on this story of dark desires and intrigues.
