Savage Winter (Seasons of Paleo, #1)

Savage Winter (Seasons of Paleo, #1)

by Rachel Van Dyken

If they take you, you don't come back. You either die...or wish you had. The Western Empire was ruthless. The only reason I survived was because he gave his life for me--a life that might as well have been mine, for when they stole his last heartbeats, they silenced my own. They call me princess, an answer to the prophecy, but I'm nothing more than a prisoner...awaiting my lifelong punishment. Marriage. To the Prince of the East. But it's the Royal Protector who reminds me of what I lost. He threatens something I never thought I'd have again...my heart.

 

This book cover is beautiful. I felt that Kyle's heart was being played with a little. It was still a sweet story and I want to read the rest of the books in this series. I give it *4 star*

The Gangster's Daughter

The Gangster's Daughter

by Kendall Evans

Jack Malone has one mission in Chicago—apprehend notorious gangster, Antonio Donnatelli. It shouldn't matter that Donnatelli is using his daughter, Maria, to get close to Jack, to find out his weakness. Jack knows the man's ways, and he can ignore the beautiful Italian lady with her mysterious brown eyes and soft voice. Until the gunfire starts. Then his need to protect her overcomes his duty.
 
It was very brief, did not give a lot of details about the characters and I didn't feel like I knew them. I liked the setting, gangster's daughter falls for the cop, very nice. I give it *3 stars*
