Falling in love is the easy part, staying together…now that’s the biggest challenge of all.

Everything is finally working out for Bianca Sutherland and Taz Hazard. They’re in love and running B-Squad Security and Investigations. They’ve planned the perfect operation to take down the dangerous drug kingpin who’s kidnapped one of Bianca’s best friends. Then Taz’s wife—who was supposed to be his ex-wife—shows up on the eve of the big rescue mission and threatens to blow up his and Bianca’s happily ever after.

The last thing Bianca wants after the revelation that Taz might still be married is to have to spend time with her former live-in boyfriend who never told her he’d ever been married in the first place. But it’s too late to change plans. To save her friend, she has to swallow her hurt and go undercover with Taz as a newlywed couple at an exclusive resort. The only thing Taz wants is Bianca and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to win her back. But when it’s his life on the line, will it be too late for him to show her that his past is over and she’s the only woman for his future…

Brazen is a stand alone novel and the first full novel in the B-Squad series. However, if you want to find out how Taz and Bianca met, check out Bulletproof, a novella set in Liliana Hart’s MacKenzie Security world.

Excerpt from Brazen:
Even fully clothed, Bianca’s body ached from the sweet torment of touching him. She couldn’t get enough. She had to taste him everywhere.
Somehow over the blood rushing in her ears, she heard the elevator ping. Fuck. It was the only entrance to the loft and no one ever thought to call ahead first. Of course, if they were on the approved list, all they had to do was punch in the code and scan their thumbprint to get in. The approved list was short—only Taz’s brothers and her girls—but right now everyone was working around the clock on the mission to bring Gidget home.
The number two above the elevator doors lit up.
And that’s what happened when you lived on the third floor of the building that housed the Devil’s Dip Gym on the first floor and the B-Squad Investigation and Security headquarters on the second—you never left work behind.
She broke the kiss. “If that’s one of your brothers for something stupid, I’m going to shoot them.”
“Not if I get to my gun first.” He released his hold on her ass, letting her body slide against his before her feet touched the floor, and then grabbed his towel and tied it around his waist.
Bianca spun around just as the elevator doors parted. Because of the loft’s open layout, there weren’t any walls between the bedroom area and the elevator on the opposite side of the loft, so she had an unobstructed view of the woman who strutted on four-inch heels out of the elevator and into the living room. Blindingly beautiful with long, blonde, artfully waved hair and a face that would make fashion photographers weep with joy, she wore a calf-length trench coat.
“Honey, I’m home,” the woman called out as she took off her sunglasses, revealing her murderously cold blue eyes.
Bianca went for her SIG SAUER on the nightstand next to the bed. Taz grabbed her arm, stopping her before she could take a step. His fingers bit into her flesh and pain shot up her limb.
“Taz,” she called out, wincing.
But he didn’t react. All of his attention was focused solely on the woman.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” he asked, his voice vibrating with fury.
“Is that any way to talk to your wife?” The woman smirked. “You know, I’ve missed you, Honey Bear.”
His hold slackened just as the earth shook beneath Bianca’s feet and she stumbled back.
“Your wife?” She reached out, holding on to the dresser to steady her stance, the hurt squeezing her lungs keeping her from passing out in shock. She and Taz had been together for six months and he was married. “How long have you been married?”
The woman admired the rock on her ring finger. “Five years next Tuesday.”
Bianca was damn glad Taz had stopped her earlier from getting her gun, because otherwise she couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t have shot him right in the center of his cold, black heart.

Title: Bullet Proof (A Mackenzie Family Novella)
Series: B-Squad #.05
Author: Avery Flynn
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: February 16, 2016
Format: Digital/Paperback
ISBN: 978-1-942299-30-1
From Liliana Hart’s New York Times bestselling MacKenzie family comes a new story by best-selling author Avery Flynn...

"Being one of the good guys is not my thing."

Bianca Sutherland isn't at an exclusive Eyes-Wide-Shut style orgy for the orgasms. She’s there because the only clue to her friend’s disappearance is a photo of a painting hanging somewhere in Bisu Manor. Determined to find her missing friend when no one else will, she expects trouble when she cons her way into the party—but not in the form of a so-hot-he-turns-your-panties-to-ash former boxer.

Taz Hazard’s only concern is looking out for himself and he has no intention of changing his ways until he finds sexy-as-sin Bianca at the most notorious mansion in Ft. Worth. Now, he’s tangled up in a missing person case tied into a powerful new drug about to flood the streets, if they can’t find a way to stop it before its too late. Taking on a drug cartel isn’t safe, but when passion ignites between them Taz and Bianca discover their hearts aren’t bulletproof either.

Available at: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo

Excerpt from Bullet Proof:
Bianca Sutherland was screwed and not in the way her hot trainer was thinking—or the way she'd fantasized about involving the tightly-wound hottie.

The dude was a certifiable control freak, but with his tawny skin, light green eyes, curly black hair, and trim beard framing thick lips, he was devastatingly sexy.  Add to it the hard, muscular powerful body of a boxer who never really stopped training and it was no wonder that she had a hard time concentrating when he told her what to do when it came to punching, jabbing and delivering a killer uppercut.

She was good with that at the Devil's Dip Gym, but here, when she was a woman on a mission? Oh, hell no.

Of course, this was what she got for jumping in blind when she found out Gidget Harms was missing and no one was doing a damn thing to look for her. So she'd made yet another deal with the devil, otherwise known as Taz Hazard, the hottest man with the most ridiculous name in Ft. Worth.

His strong fingers played on her hip, sending little electric jolts over her skin "Let me do the talking."

"I can speak for myself." Damn, she hated not being able to hide the hungry want in her voice. Focus, Bianca. "I have questions for them."

"Trust me," he said as he moved his hand so it cupped the back of her neck and his thumb stroked the sensitive spot behind her earlobe. "This isn't the time."

Watching the Davies-Smythes approach, the hushed crowd parting automatically for them as if they were demigods, Bianca fought not to melt into a puddle at Taz's feet. "I may not get another chance."

His hand tensed. Someone wasn't used to being defied. Poor hot boy doesn't like to hear no. What a shocker.

"Why do you need to talk to them?"

"None of your business." The last thing she needed was to be patted on the head like a dumb little girl by one more man when she explained that Gidget wouldn't have just run off.

"What are you into, Kitten?"

"Keep asking that question and you'll get my claws."

"That smart mouth of yours really needs to get put to better use." He sighed. "Follow my lead and you'll have access to them anytime you want."

Right, because she couldn't possibly manage to get a few answers herself. After all, it's not like she managed to get an invite to the most exclusive Eyes Wide Shut lifestyle party in the state of Texas by herself. She was well on her way to getting her state private investigation and security contractor license. Mr. Sexy But Bossy may not realize it, but there was a helluva lot more to her than some poor little rich girl.

"I had a plan of my own already," she said, unable to keep the annoyance out of her tone. "Make your introductions and you're welcome to wander off."

Determined dominance radiated off of him in waves. "You're not getting rid of me while you're in this house."

Refusing to be cowed, she raised her chin. "Then don't expect me to keep my mouth shut."

"Bianca," he said in a harsh whisper that wobbled on the edge of losing control. "I know them. You're new. Anything that comes from you will be suspicious. What do you want to know?"

Damn. Why did he have to make a quality argument? The Davies-Smythes were only a few yards away from where she and Taz stood. She had half a heartbeat to decide. She couldn't explain it, but her gut went with Taz. Mutinous bastard. "Their art collection."

If he had questions, he didn't have time to voice them before the couple stopped in front of them. Both were tall, sexy and pale as her mother's wedding China and yet they were as untouchable as an emerald under glass. And these two ran sex parties? Chalk one up to looks being deceiving.

"Mr. Hazard, it's always a good night when you honor us with your presence," Amelia said, her honeyed upper-class British voice like a cheese grater against Bianca's skin. "Won't you introduce us to this lovely creature?"

As if Bianca hadn't been vetted six ways to Sunday and already ponied up a cool ten thousand dollars for a previsionary membership into Bisu Manor. She barely managed not to roll her eyes.

Taz gave her a wolfish smile that made her knees buckle. "This is Kitten."

"Just Kitten?" Oliver asked, curiosity mixed with something darker in his gray eyes.


"Yes, my little exhibitionist has a shy side." Taz shrugged his broad shoulders. "I find the contradiction... arousing."

Review: Hollywood on Tap (Sweet Salvation Brewery #2) by Avery Flynn

Title: Hollywood on Tap (Sweet Salvation Brewery #2)
Author: Avery Flynn
Source: Self-Purchased
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Length: Novel
Release Date: November 3, 2014

Rating - 4
Sexual - 3

For years, Sean O’Dell has hidden his past as a Hollywood heartthrob from everyone
at the Sweet Salvation Brewery. However, the arrival of nosey efficiency expert Natalie Sweet threatens the status quo. It doesn’t help that with her glasses, buttoned-up sweaters and always pulled-back hair that she’s uncovered one secret already: His attraction for hot librarian types.

Natalie has had enough of the strong-and-silent Sean submarining her efforts to change the brewery for the better. She’s ready to do whatever it takes to make her vision a reality, even if that means taking down the pig-headed and too-hot-for-his-own-good brewmaster.

Sizzling attraction battles stubborn determination as Natalie and Sean go head to head in a battle that’s anything but business as usual.
Salvation is a quaint little town that really doesn't like the resident Sweet family.  The Sweet triplets have returned after their uncle's death to get the family brewery back into shape - but things always seem to go wrong.  A little too wrong to just be bad luck.

Natalie is an OCD anxious mess most of the time.  She thrives on creating order out of chaos, and I'd really like her to visit my home office and whip it into shape for me.  Her best friends are her color coded pens, calendar, and lists.  The more I read about her, the more I loved her.  While my OCD shows off in a whole other fashion, I could really relate to her need to have things done just right.  Sean, on the other hand, isn't much for all this fancy crap that Natalie is trying to do.  He sees it as messing with his creative process and refuses to listen to a word she says.  He's kind of a jerk about the whole thing.

When they start feeling the sparks they are both quite surprised.  And when they are thrown together by chance in their own investigation of who might be sabotaging the brewery they realize just how much they spark together.  Sean just about blows it though by keeping too many secrets, and Natalie's need for control get in the way.  Their compromises were amazing - a true testament to how a relationship should work and I loved watching them navigate through their differences.

Brewing up trouble one pint at a time.

Enemies ...After years away, Miranda Sweet returns to Salvation, Virginia to save her family's brewery, but her fate is in the hands of her lover-turned-enemy, Logan. What's a girl to do when the only person who can help her is the man who betrayed her?

Lovers ...Logan Martin can't believe his luck when the woman who smashed his heart to smithereens walks into his bank asking for his help. What she doesn't know is that he needs the land her brewery is on--and he'll do whatever it takes to get it.

An Irresistible Combination ...Their wager becomes a battle between their attraction and their determination to win. But it's in each other's arms that they realize there might be more at stake now than their bet. With the town against the Sweet Salvation Brewery's success, Logan has to choose between what's expected of him and what he really wants...
Enemies on Tap was a really fun read.  Miranda Sweet comes from the wrong side of the tracks in a small town and hightailed it out as soon as she could.  She comes back to flip the family brewery - it needs to make a profit in less than three months or she loses not only the brewery, but her job.  Miranda is a no-nonsense type of girl that isn't afraid to speak her mind, unless it's how she feels about the golden child of Salvation, Logan Martin.  They have a history that goes back to high school that neither one has really let go.

Miranda has a lot going against her.  Most of the town hates her family for good reason.  They have always been troublemakers - and the brewery was poorly managed.  She tackles the uphill battle head on, until things get out of  control and someone tries to sabotage all her plans.  Logan wants to fight fair, but has a lot of pressure to do whatever it takes to get the Sweets out of town.

There's a bit of action and a lot of attitude in this story.  There were some slow spots, but Avery Flynn does a pretty good job of moving the story along and keeping it interesting.  Miranda is one of three triplets so I'm hoping to see more of her sisters in future stories in the series.  There are quite a few interesting side characters that I would love to see matched up with someone.

If that man calls her one more time… So what if Gabe Campos is a model-dating billionaire
who gets Keisha Jacobs hotter than a Ferrari’s engine on the straightaway? He keeps pushing her to sell her family’s furniture business, but she’ll never give in—not unless she wants to give her father a second heart attack.

All Gabe should be thinking about is how he’ll finally get revenge on the man who killed his father. But when he meets the man’s daughter, Keisha, instead of focusing on destroying Jacobs Fine Furnishings, he can’t get her warm-whisky voice out of his mind.

Forced by a snow storm to spend the night together, their passion ignites. The next day, however, it’s back to business. The only way Keisha can save her family is to win a bet with the billionaire. But neither realized their hearts are part of the bargain…
When Gabe Campos tries to take over Jcobs Furniture he gets into a lot more than he can handle.  Keisha is not going to let her father's company go without a fight, and she just doesn't understand why Gabe would want it so much.  Keisha is quite a girl - she builds furniture, is a car fanatic, and love to interior design.  I love it when a character has such a diverse group of interests.

Gabe has a purpose and he isn't the type to deviate once he sets his mind on something.  But Keisha is more of an obstacle than he could have imagined, and he doesn't really mind having her in the way either.  But Gabe will have to face the demons of his past - and he doesn't seem to want to confront them at all.

This was an new twist on things for me.  I really like how the story built on itself.  Every little sentence worked towards the HEA.
