SHE’S NOTHING BUT TROUBLE
Riordan Malone is more than a bodyguard. As an Elite Ops agent, he’s ripped, raged, and ready to rumble—a true warrior, inside and out. But no war zone can compare to the battle in Rory’s heart when he lays eyes on the only woman he’s ever loved—and thought he had lost forever. . .
HE’S EVERYTHING SHE NEEDS
As the daughter of a crime lord, Amara Resnova has endured the cruelty of her father’s enemies—and has tried to escape that world ever since. Now, she must reach out to the one man who saved her life, even if she’s never forgiven him for breaking her heart. But Amara is tougher today than she was then. She’s also more desirable to Rory—and dangerous to love. Can he protect her from her father’s enemies without surrendering to his own passions…or will love seal their fate for good?

Musings
This is the first book I have read by Lora Leigh, and I
enjoyed it for the most part. Thanks go to the publisher, via Net-Galley, for
the chance to read and review in advance of publication. Collision Point is an
action-paced romantic suspense novel that walks the edge of erotica.
Ms. Leigh writes fantastic suspense scenes that had me
nibbling on my nails, waiting to find out what would happen next. It quickly
drew me in, and I had a hard time putting it down. This is a plot-driven story,
and for anyone who loves hot, steamy sexual scenes, there are plenty of those.
Regarding the characters, I never truly became vested in
either of them. I would have liked more inner thoughts from both of them. The
relationship was all about sex with very little emotional connection between
the pair, so as a romance this book didn’t work for me. At times, the sexual
scenes seemed out of place. I found myself flipping through them to get onto
the action. I’m sure other readers may not agree because reading is very
subjective.
What did work for me, is the high suspense and the startling
surprise at the end when I found out who the villain was. I could feel the
heroine’s pain at this realization. If I were to give two ratings for this
book, I’d give 5 Gold Crowns for the suspense and 2 for the romance, hence my
3.5 rating.
If you love high suspense with a great “who done it” and
lots of sexual scenes, then you will enjoy Collision Point. While the romance
didn’t work for me, the suspenseful aspect of this novel kept me engaged and on
the edge of my seat and made it a worth-while read. Happy reading!
