Book Description:
Kiss your
powers goodbye.
Kidnapping
a super-powered suspected felon from a Vegas bachelor party is another day at
the office for Jenny Ray, alias Temptress. With one kiss, any naughty supe’s
powers are hers. Except this time she’s caught by her mark’s boss, who’s no
ordinary superhero.
It’s
Thinktank, leader of the toughest hero crew around. One destroyed men’s room
and near-toilet-drowning later, Jenny’s forced to steal an innocent hero’s
powers.
For a super
brain, Tank’s feeling pretty idiotic. First, he let Jenny close enough to get
to him. Second, he’s helpless against the tide of desire that rises in him
every time he kisses her. Which he’s doing a lot, since she’s trying to give
him back his power—only it’s not working. As he shadows her on her various
freelance casino security jobs, he realizes she’s no she-demon—she’s a time
bomb. Her acquired powers are shredding her, body and soul.
As they
give in to desire, a shadowy figure from Jenny’s past surfaces with a
kidnapping plan of his own. Jenny will do anything—even level Las Vegas—to
rescue the man she loves. But there may not be anything left of her when the
dust settles.

Book Description:
That cold
day in hell? It’s here…
If Ivory’s
fellow flight attendants whisper that she has ice in her veins, they’d be
right. She’s spent years ruthlessly suppressing her dangerous ice powers,
pretending she didn’t grow up wild on the tundra.
Her legendary
coolness has held solid—until a crazed attacker snaps her composure, unleashing
her ice beast and blowing her cover. And she’s not sure if the man who defuses
the situation is any less dangerous.
When
Panther’s trans-Atlantic catnap is interrupted by Ivory’s ice spear through his
mark’s gut, he doesn’t hesitate to claim her as one of the Manhattan Ten. It’s
the only way to shield her from prosecution. It doesn’t hurt that the Nordic
beauty puts his inner cat on the prowl.
Panther
tempts Ivory in every smoldering way, but to let him melt her resistance is a
risk she can’t afford. But when her past rises up to claim her, Pan is caught
in the crossfire…and the only way to save him is to let the beast claim her,
body and soul.
Product Warnings
Contains one smoldering
ice vixen and the sexy beast man who wants to get his claws all over her. Make
sure your icemaker is in tip-top shape before reading. Mukluks optional.

This is one
diva with killer moves…
Belle
Fabian has worked her toes to the bone to become an internationally renowned
ballerina. When the curtains rise on her career-making performance of Giselle,
she brings down the house—literally.
Mid-dance,
she manifests a superpower that nearly destroys the Metropolitan Opera House,
wiping out a line of chorus girls and sending the audience dashing for the
exits. As she flees the theater, she assumes the worst. Her hard-won career is
over.
The
Manhattan Ten’s leader is playing hooky with his new lady, so it falls to Red
Ruin to round up the super-powered danseur. It’s just one small, bird-boned
woman hiding in a convenience store. How hard could it be?
Their first
encounter generates sparks that border nuclear and their chemistry sends
Belle’s powers into overdrive, but their perfect storm of passion is marred by
her suspicion that Ruin is holding back. That secret that could turn the sweet
burn of Ruin’s lightning into a permanent scar on her heart.
Product Warnings
Contains
one lightning-hot hero and a not-so-blushing ballerina. May cause third-degree
burns and spontaneous tango
My
Take On The Books:
I’m a
scatter brain, my scheduling absolutely sucks and I tend to forget deadlines,
so I’m not surprised I almost missed this review O_o. Not only that, but for
the longest time I was sure that the series was titled Manhattan Teen. Anyways, these books were absolute gems. Romantic,
action packed and steamy where they needed to be.
I feel that
its safe to admit wanting my own Manhattan 10 guy. Squee. I loved, Loved, LOVED book 1. The story between Tank &
Jenny (Temptress) was just too freaking cute. I loved the build up to the big shebang.
It wasn’t a love at first sight thing, really it was more of lust at first
sight that boils into a steamy love affair… love being the operative word. I
loved how book 2 explains the story of Panther and Ivory and how the team made
their way to Vegas for the beginning of book 1.
But suffice
to say that Book 3, Belle Fury, is my
favorite of the series thus far. There is just something so sweet about their
story. Its different from the others in the sense of trust and vulnerability.
They know each other’s real names for the moment they first meet so there is no
secrecy there. (Also, I may be a bit biased due to my love of Ballet and
wanting a Red Ruin book while reading Temptress).
My only pet peeve is the Angel angle. I
didn’t want them to go there are they did so it irked. I loved her character in
book 2 and continued to like her in book 3 but it was where the author wanted
her character to go emotionally that made me really sad and uncomfortable.
Temptress – 5 Quills
Ivory – 4.5 Quills
Belle Fury – 5 Quills

Book 4 where are you?!?! I need my hero romance fix
stat. It feeds the comic book/ super hero nerd in me. It’s a book that can be
enjoyed by anyone who likes romance, action and intrigue. If you like strong
female leads, sexy bruiting males and love stories to curl you toes, dip into
the Manhattan Ten Series now.
