Description from the publisher:
The fourth and final book in the Savage Series...

A man, a former assassin, who is now in love, a man on his honeymoon, who vows to leave the killing behind him.

That is, until someone sets their eyes on revenge and goes after his woman. Now someone is going to find out just what a Savage he really is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SAVAGE ENDING is the fourth book in the Savage series.  This series must be read in the order of release.
 
With his odd sense of humor, tender heart, brilliant mind, and fierce protectiveness, Rick Savage is my favorite man in the Walker Security Team.  I was glad that this “trilogy” was extended by one more book going into the wedding and honeymoon with his Candy.
 
This story has the sexy Walker men battling bad guys – great action and suspense; ; sexy loving – bow-chick-bow-wow!; and the Walker women bonding – warm fuzzy feelings.  Speaking of warm fuzzies, there is also news of a baby on the way and a wedding that is a fairytale come true. 

To sum it up:  action, suspense, romance, and wonderful emotions that are the hallmarks of Lisa Renee Jones…. And no cliffhanger!  … but plenty of hints of who may be the next giant of Walker to fall.
 
Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

Description from the publisher:
Nicki’s going to a wedding but she needs a plus-one. When her boyfriend isn’t able to accompany her, she asks her best friend Sean Ramsey, of course. How did Sean feel about her back then? Find out in this prequel novella to the Nicki Sosebee series.

Also contains bonus material! “Love and Bromance,” a collection of vignettes featuring Sean and Jesse as teens becoming young men, gives a glimpse of their youth as they come of age. How did Nicki’s life become intertwined with theirs early on?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BAD ASS is the fourteenth book in the Nicki Sosebee series and a prequel.  This pair of novelettes is meant for Sosebee fans who can’t let go of the characters we love. 
 
That’s me to a T.   I can never get enough of Sean, Jesse, and Nicki.  Looking back to see how they met (Love and Bromance) and how deeply they have always loved (Bad Ass) is a sweet little prequel-dessert for this diehard fan.
 
Though this series is complete, there have been hints that the gang will be returning in another series in the future.  I can only hope it’s true.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
