Body Shot: An International Clandestine Enterprise Novel (ICE Book 2) - Amy Jarecki

Heart racing, breath holding, fingers crossed! I was pulled into the danger and electric journey for Henri and Mike immediately. Her determination and honesty made her such a strong and compatible heroine for Mike who was just as determined and used to working more alone. Their attraction is instant but the job came first. By the end, I was crying at the caring between these two and the steps they took to accept each other's pasts and presents. I highly recommend this book and the series. I look forward to the next one.

I received an ARC copy of this book, and this is my unsolicited review.

Surprises

Kitty's Book Spot!

Body Shot: A Last Shot Novel - Kelly Jamieson

Hayden and her best friend check out a new place and learn about tequila and men. Many surprises for the reader in this series opener. Interesting characters and fun times are had inside.

Beck is a former SEAL, who opens a restaurant/bar with his best friends. Hayden turns his life upside down, and he finds that was the best part of all. If they can agree it is love, the future looks bright.

I really enjoyed this book. There was a lot to learn. I laughed, cried, and basically felt every page. I cannot wait to check out the next book in this Last Shot series. I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Body Shot › Kelly Jamieson 99 cents

Cat's Books: Romance

Former Navy SEAL Beck Whitcomb left a world of privilege to prove he could make his own way. Money, mansions, expensive cars—none of it could heal the loss of his older brother, or buy his parents’ love. Now, after using his trust fund to open the Conquistadors tequila bar with his brothers-in-arms, Beck has it all: good friends, fine liquor, and hot hookups. When it comes to women, commitment’s not his thing—until he gets a taste of the pretty professor who walks into his bar . . . and winds up in his bed.

Hayden Miles knows all too well that emotional decisions can lead to heartbreak, and nothing screams “bad decision” like a playboy bartender with inked biceps and a wicked smile. Still, their chemistry is off-the-charts explosive—and Hayden knows her chemistry. For once, this good girl longs to let loose. But is she willing to risk the pain to quench her thirst? With the promise of more on the table, Hayden’s eager to believe . . . before she misses her shot.

Nadine's Obsessed with Books

Body Shot by Kelly Jamieson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book wasn't only enjoyable it was informative. I have to say that I learned a LOT about Tequila and you can see that Kelly Jamieson really did her due diligence with researching the subject. I have been a fan of Kelly Jamieson's for a while now and when I saw that she had a new series out I had to grab it...and I am so happy that I did.

I Loved Beck! He is a former Navy SEAL and now he co-owns a Tequila Bar with two of his friends, he is also the bartender at Conquistadors, but that's not all....(yep not telling, it's a big spoiler if I do). Anyway, Marco decided that they should have a Tequila tasting one night at Conquistadors and that is where Beck meets Hayden.

Hayden is a workaholic, but she is a scientist on the hunt for something big, all of her time is spent in the lab or teaching or helping out her Aunt & Uncle (which she does quite a bit). I really enjoy when the good girl that finds the right guy to cut loose with and that is exactly what we have here. The chemistry between Beck and Hayden was great. I couldn't get enough of these two and I really hope that we see them in the next book which will be Marco's story.

This looks like so much fun and I know that Beck and Hayden had a great time on the water Body Shot (Last Shot, #1) by Kelly Jamieson

Iron Canuck

This is a steamy read. Hayden is a nerd who is focused on work and the plan for her life. Her friend Cassie drags her out for a night of fun where Hayden meets Beck. Now Beck is full of fun and adventure, covering up his painful memories as a SEAL and his family. The two heat up whenever they are together, but they also complement each other. Together, they are better people. I really enjoyed this story and hope to see more of the owners of the Conquistadors. I recommend this book.

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
