Book review: Live Wire by author Lora Leigh

Huge Lora Leigh fan over here. OK being a big fan of a author for me just ratchets up the tension wondering if your going to like their next book. If you have a so so feeling or it's a new author it's not so bad. You don't like it not a big deal right? Being a big fan you build up some expectations. The more i get to like a author the bigger that expectation gets. OK I'll be honest I'd probably forgive them anyway even if i didn't like it. OK now that that's out of the way let's talk about Lora Leigh's latest Elite Ops series book Live Wire!!! To read this book i think you have to have read a few of the previous books or it won't make as much sense. There are lots of past characters in this book as well. Love when authors bring back past characters. In the Elite ops series you see them in alot of the books anyway but in Live Wire you see more and you see the couples from previous books. A+ for that alone. Let's get to a back page blurb first kay?

A HERO AMONG MEN


Meet Captain Jordan Malone. For years he has been a silent warrior and guardian, operating independent of government protocol or oversight, leading his loyal team of Elite Ops to fight terror at all costs. A legend in the field, Jordan’s true identity has remained a mystery to even his own men…until now.


A MAGNET FOR ONE WOMAN

Tehya Talamosi, codename: Enigma, is a force to be reckoned with. A woman this striking spells nothing but trouble for Jordan. Armed with killer secrets—and body to die for—she’ll bring Jordan to his knees as they both take on the most deadly mission they have ever faced. Because this time, it’s personal…

So for those of you who follow this series we finally get to Jordan's book. I don't know about you but I've been waiting and waiting for Jordan to finally get his just desserts. lol You get to meet Tehya in the book Wild Card Nathan Malone,Jordan's nephews book. Her father was a evil man and Tehya has spent most of her life running from him or his associates. The time for Jordan's Elite Ops team has come to end and so everyone goes their separate ways. Tehya doesn't know what she's going to do Elite Ops has been her life for 8 years ever since they saved her from being alone after she is finally freed from her father. Tehya finds what she thinks might be a place to belong but after a while she feels like she's being watched. She also feels forgotten because no one not even Jordan tried to contact her in the months after leaving Elite Ops headquarters. Jordan finds out someone knows who she is and where she is and he goes to check on her and that's when the fight to live a normal life starts for Teyha. Question is when the smoke clears will Jordan be there or not. That is if she survives. Lots of action and hot sex in this book. You see Jordan be such a hard ass in all the previous book it's fun to see him squirm in this one finally. Poor Tehya goes thru the emotional ringer. The only problem i had was a few places where some of the sentences didn't make sense and some grammatical errors but you always seem to get some of those in every book and i can usually over look them. Check out Live Wire and read the first chapter and check out the other books in this series by going to Lora Leigh's website by clicking here. I'm giving Live Wire by Lora Leigh 4 and 1/2 Modokker Book Pick stars.

Review: Maverick by author Lora Leigh

As i mentioned in a previous post i was browsing the book section at Walmart and picked up this book as well and entered the author and name info in my iphone so i could find it at the library. I ended up getting it through my states interloaning library system. In Michigan this would be Mel.org. Check with your local library if you live in another state to see if your state has this. If your library does not have a book you can borrow if from another library using your library card. They send it to your library for you to check out and read. Here you get it for 3 weeks and can renew it if that's now long enough. I use it often.

Getting back to Lora Leigh's book Maverick. Turns out this is one in a series called Elite Ops. You can view the whole list and get more info
Below is a little back cover blurb.

IN A DANGEROUS GAME


Micah Sloane knows almost everything there is to know about Risa Clay, including the vicious betrayal she endured years ago and the distrust she’s harbored ever since. The only way for the Elite Ops agent to uncover an assassin—and banish the ghosts of his own dark past—is to use Risa as bait. But nothing has prepared him for her disarming blend of innocence and sensuality, or for his overwhelming need to protect her…

DESIRE CAN BE A DEADLY DISTRACTION


Risa has spent six years rebuilding her life. And now, to save it, she must pose as Micah’s lover and draw a killer into the open. It’s a risky plan—especially with a man as powerfully seductive as Micah. But, as their charade becomes reality, Risa realizes the greatest danger may lie in losing her heart forever…

You can read a excerpt here.

The Elite Operations, ELITE OPs was created to fight against that terror. A six man force working independent of government protocol or oversight, created to do what the others can’t do. They have only one directive. Success of the mission. No matter what it takes.

You can go to Lora Leigh's website to find out more about the Elite Ops series and all the players involved in this series. This book is a full action packed book mixed with hot sexy romance. Risa's been through hell and Micah knows all about it and he's drawn to her for some reason. Unfortunately he has to use her to catch a mad man who killed his mother and was pretty much responsible for his fathers death as well. Can they find their way through all the chaos to find love as well?  There are four books in this series which i plan to read. I give this book 5 out of 5 Modokker Book Pick stars. Happy reading!
