Blurb: Marco Dellburn is anxious to change his life and become a US Marshal. He’s found a family with his favorite law enforcement officers. There are those in his past, however, who will do anything to stop him–and destroy him–completely.

Marco Dellburn’s past as an abused teen has provided him with the toughness needed to be a US Marshal. Supported and encouraged by his idol, Jubilee Mason, Marco takes his advice and enrolls in all the grueling courses the Marshals have to offer. He even attends intense FBI workshops and upon graduation, finds he really does have a family in Jubilee and his husband, Kieran Fox, Nicholas Fournier and his lover Sean Mercado and especially Trace Thatcher, his surrogate dad and landlord.

Living in Trace and Pauline’s home, Marco finds the protection and acceptance he never had at the hands of his brutal father, Kenny Dellburn, the leader of the vicious motorcycle gang Born Evil. Trace, who shot Kenny in defense of Marco, is now a marked man wanted by Born Evil. There’s another big problem too. Marco is deeply in love with the gang’s new leader, Sam Channing… the man he can never be with and can never, ever stop loving. There’s a heavy price to pay for this passion. There’s turmoil. And death.

Review: This story is part of a series and must be read in order. Marco has come far and proved himself tough enough to be an US Marshal, but he isn’t out in the field yet so on advice from Jubilee he enrolls in extra Marshal and FBI courses. Marco discovers on his return that he really does have a family in Jubilee, Kieran, Nicholas, Sean, and Trace. But, Marco discovers that his old family haven’t forgotten about him, and when he goes undercover for the first time he knows he never forgot about one person from his past. Sam is now the leader of the biker gang Born Evil and because of the actions of the former leaders he is embroiled in deals he wants no part of. Sam is trying to pull his gang back from the brink but with his stepfather Carter Dellburn bent on revenge, being pushed in directions he doesn’t want to go and the US Marshals sniffing around Sam finds himself making deals he might just regret.

Ah, Marco, caught in a trap of secret longings and forbidden love, drawn to a man who is on the opposite side of the law. This story is about three years after Spring Leaves with Marco joining the ranks of the US Marshals and going on his first field assignment. With Marco’s first assignment he comes into direct contact with his first love Sam, he is terrified his cover will be blown but Sam holds back for some reason. Sam never forgot Marco but his life is set, he is the leader of a feared biker gang and he has no way out no matter how much he might long for it. Sam and Macro might be on opposite sides, but neither wants the other hurt. Their feelings for each other still burn bright and passion flares but the fall out may be too much for either to handle.

This is a great addition to this series, we remember Marco being a horn-dog, but he is more mature and grown up now. He discovers that the family he has chosen will do anything for him and the family he left wants revenge. The conflict he finds himself in due to his continued attraction to Sam is one that could cost him everything if it is discovered but he never really seems to acknowledge it, Sam is different he does think about the ramifications but can’t say no. The danger and turmoil that follows them is exciting and new links are revealed in the ongoing war between the US Marshals and the Howard family. We see many of the characters from previous books, we discover that Sam is so much more than a mindless biker and Trace and Marco have targets on their backs. 

I recommend this to those who love action, danger, a dangerous relationship, hot secret sex, new twists and the feeling that things are just beginning to heat up.

Blurb: Working on a joint undercover operation is Jubilee and Kieran’s last chance to find a way to love each other… or this might be their last dance.

Jubilee Mason and Kieran Fox want to find a way to be together–but fate may decide things for them. They begin an undercover operation at a Texas cat house to stop a child sex slave ring in its tracks. Their growing feelings soon overshadow this risky operation.

Can Kieran and Jubilee find a way to love each other… or will this be their last dance?

Review: This story is part of a series and must be read in order. Jubilee and Kieran are dragged into an undercover operation when Dillon (Sheriff of Lone Trail) is murdered; it leads them to a child sex trafficking ring. They discover a link to a cult and set out to trap the leader, but there are problems closer to home when they discover someone trying to recruit Pauline (Jubilee’s sister) and her sons for the cult, and someone else gives Jubilee’s nephew’s drugs and Sunny (Darlene’s husband) is brutally attacked in a gay bashing. Can Jubilee and Kieran solve all their new problems and keep their relationship going?

This story is a great addition to the Orgasmic Texas Dawn series. We left off the last book with a desperate late night visit from Dillon’s wife, Elsie, and we now find out exactly what happened. Jubilee and Kieran have a very passionate relationship and they finally decide just what is most important to both of them, and what they both want. This story is filled with all sorts of complications as Jubilee investigates Dillon’s murder; it leads them to Kieran going undercover as the cat houses new owner.

We are joined by characters from previous books in the way of Sunny and Earl; we have some new characters joining us and some hair-raising circumstances. Jubilee’s and Kieran’s relationship is strong, even if they have had to hide it, and we see how it progresses further and the realization they both come to and the decisions they make. The characters are strong and the written is good, the storyline moves very fast and there is a lot going on, so much so that you do have to suspend reality a little, but we do get some quality naked time with Kieran and Jubilee (although Jubilee really should destroy his phone lol).  

I enjoyed this story and I am looking forward to the rest of the series, being able to see how Kieran and Jubilee’s relationship progresses and deepens is great, the new addition to the family should make things interesting and fresh. I will admit to being sad to see some of the characters gone as I really did like them, and I honestly think that Darlene needs a psych evaluation because she is clearly insane and doesn’t live in the real world.

I will recommend this to those that love cowboys, crime, strong characters, hot sex, surprising turns and a brilliant happy ending.

Blurb: Sean Mercado, a rookie Dallas Marshal, and Nicholas Fournier, a Canadian cop, are pulled into Jubilee and Kieran’s lives after a near death experience for Jubilee who is shot during a bank holdup that leaves him seriously wounded.

Former Canadian Special Ops Nicholas Fournier never dreamed making a deposit at a Dallas bank for his ailing aunt would change his life, but it does. He meets US Marshal Jubilee Mason who in turn introduces him to Sean Mercado, a new recruit to the Big D. Nicholas is still reeling from a romantic fiasco where he threw caution to the wind traveling to Texas to meet a guy he communicated with online.

Though planning to fly back home, he’s tempted to spend a little more time with the hunky Louisiana transplant and find out a little more about the US Marshals. He soon finds there’s a lot going on in this hectic Texas City and it ain’t just summer rain.

Review: Sean is learning the ropes of being a Marshal from Kieran, Nicholas meets Jubilee in the middle of a bank holdup, both men meet after Jubilee is shot and a connection is forged between them. Nicholas is visiting from Canada and after meeting Sean and the rest of the Marshals Nicholas decides to sign up and hopefully stay in Dallas, it isn’t long before he discovers just how hectic the Marshals can be. Sean is closeted but it isn’t long before he is hoping for anything he can get off Nicholas… if he can just get him to say the words.

This is an excellent addition to the Orgasmic Texas Dawn series with two new hot beefcakes *urm cough* characters, adding to and expanding the storyline. Nicholas is a genius dedicated to serving his country but also looking for excitement along the way, after meeting Jubilee at the bank in the middle of a holdup he is offered the chance to join the Marshals, well it’s a new adventure and if he can see Sean again, then all the better. Sean is still closeted, but meeting Nicholas sparks something inside him, going out on a limb, he takes a chance with the attraction, but Nicholas starts to shy away and Sean can only pray that Nicholas wants him as much as he wants Nicholas.

I really liked the way that this story was written; it starts from Jubilee and Kieran’s point of views and then smoothly changes to Nicholas and Sean’s perspectives when they have been established. With Jubilee and Kieran it starts with a happy morning with Juan (foster son) which is tainted with frustration and anger when they are turned down for adoption because they are gay, the story then progresses quickly to establish both Nicholas and Sean, but Jubilee and Kieran are with them nearly every step of the way so we can keep a close eye on our sexy Marshals. The storyline is action packed, tinged with excitement, confusion and an act of betrayal and continues with a great storyline right to the very end.

Both Nicholas and Sean are great characters and I can safely say that they will be welcomed with open arms, they are hot, passionate, at times confused, but they always hot for each other. They add new blood and open the story for more exciting plots, in this one the four of them work together to bring down a gun smuggling ring, with Jubilee as a rich Texan, Sean as his bodyguard, Nicholas as a cook and Kieran as a biker… Kieran biker *drool*

I will recommend this one to those who love U.S. Marshals, sexy Canadians, action, gunfights, danger, hot lovin’, and a happy ending.

Blurb: Sean and Nicholas are getting closer and closer as they work with their respective partners, Jubilee and Kieran. In this tale, they tackle an unusual nemesis, a gay serial killer, and the death of someone close to home…

As Kieran and Jubilee struggle with the state of Texas over their desire to adopt Juan, Sean and Nicholas go undercover in an unusual and dangerous assignment, posing as potential boyfriends for Trendon Patrick, a serial killer with a difference. Patrick has a taste for law enforcement types, and counts on their in-the-closet status to stop them from reporting his activities.

When he abducts Sean, he seems to know all his secrets and fears… including the time a pedophile tried to abduct him when he was nine.

Meanwhile, Nicholas has his hands full too, protecting a witness to murder. Except the witness is as wacky as they come. He thinks he’s a vampire and insists on being called Prince Vlad…

Review: This story is part of a series and must be read in order. Sean and Nicholas are getting closer and establishing a relationship, Jubilee and Kieran are still struggling to adopt Juan, and the cases at work are still coming thick and fast. Sean and Nicholas are bait for a serial killer, Trendon Patrick, with a penchant for gay law enforcement officers, and as they close the net, a startling discovery is made. A strange witness who needs protection leads them to a chilling discovery and it is a race against time to find two young disabled girls.

This story continues with the developing relationship between Sean and Nicholas and their cases within the Marshals department. Sean and Nicholas are as we remember them; their relationship is still developing with Nicholas still holding himself back while Sean embraces their relationship fully. The cases they encounter in this story has them both thinking about what they could lose and brings them closer together, when Nicholas faces a loss Sean is there for him when he needs him most. Jubilee and Kieran are more in the background in this installment but they are still around in a more supporting role.

This story is well written and even though all the cases are over quickly they are still vastly entertaining, I now look to this series for my drama/crime/soap opera fix as nothing on TV is as entertaining *g*. We are thrown straight into the action with the trap for Trendon Patrick, but it turns out to be much harder than they thought when they discover a surprising twist and a mole in their ranks, it then moves on to widening their trap, which goes horrifyingly wrong. Discovering that the Righteous is still worming its way through Texas leaves a bad taste in their mouths and they have to move fast if they want justice for one of their own. There is much going on in this story that is exciting, but the underlying thread is the relationship between Nicholas and Sean and how t is developing.

I will recommend this to those who love sexy Marshals, great cases, betrayal, murder, near death experiences, sweet loving, relationships deepening and a happy for now ending.
