Otherworld Assassins, #2
New York Times bestselling author
Gena Showalter's pulse-pounding paranormal series continues with an
electrifying story about the ultimate warrior and his prize: a beautiful woman
he will do anything to possess.
HE IS EVERY WOMAN’S FANTASY. . .
Corbin Blue is a man of many talents. One of the most powerful
otherworlders ever born, he is wealthy, a professional football star, and a
legend in the bedroom. But only a select few know he is also a black ops
agent...and there is no better killer. When he and his crew are attacked and
separated, he’s forced to turn to his boss’s daughter for help―a woman with
even more secrets than Blue.
. . .SHE BECOMES HIS ONLY OBSESSION
Evangeline Black has always been wary, guarded. No man has ever breeched her walls. Until Blue. He has never been denied something he wants, and now, he’s decided he wants her. As he sweeps her into his double life of seduction, intrigue, and danger, he helps her see beyond the darkness of her past. But as an enemy closes in, Blue will have to let Evie go to keep her safe—even though he'd rather die than live without her…

My Thoughts:
I forgot how absolutely awesome Gena Showalter's books were. I've read and own so many of her books that I kind of lost track that there was a new series of hers that I hadn't read yet. Grrrr! I hate when I lose track of authors that I like but I read so much that I am easily distracted when I am waiting for new material. Case in point!
Now, I need to tell you that this is the second book in the Otherworld Assassin series. It can be read as a stand alone. I haven't read the first book yet. :-( I'll be getting it ASAP though!
I think the cover is beautiful. :-) It fits the title well!
Black and Blue focuses on Evie (Black) and Corbin (Blue) who both work for her father Michael as secret agents.
These two have an instant dislike for each other tainted with a very strong attraction. They try to avoid each other, and that works until something happens which threatens Evie's dad and most of the team. These two have to trust each other if they hope to get to the bottom of things.
As they work together, they realize that there really is a thin line between love and hate. ;-)
In this book, you'll find great characters, a heaping helping of sass and tude, romance, humor, hot steamy scenes (hubba, hubba), action, and suspense.
It is well paced, wonderfully written and just waiting for you to read it. How long will you keep it waiting???
Obviously I highly recommend this and all of Gena's books. One of my other favorites is not paranormal but it has these awesome little quotes and it was the first book of hers that I read. I'm talking about Catch A Mate.
I received a paperback copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. Black and Blue had it all and will keep you turning the pages. This was fantastic!
