Beautiful Redemption (The Maddox Brothers, #2) by Jamie McGuire

If A Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever. But what if he didn't love you, first?

No-nonsense Liis Lindy is an agent of the FBI. Deciding she is married only to her job, she breaks off her engagement and transfers from Chicago to the field office in San Diego. She loves her desk. She is committed to her laptop. She dreams of promotions and shaking hands with the director after cracking an impossible case.

Special Agent in Charge Thomas Maddox is arrogant, unforgiving, and ruthless. He is tasked with putting away some of the world’s toughest criminals, and he is one of the best the Bureau has to offer. Though, as many lives as he’s saved, there is one that is beyond his reach. Younger brother Travis is faced with prison time for his involvement in a basement fire that killed dozens of college students, and the media want a conviction. Travis’s only savior is his unusual tie to the mob. In a deal that will spare his brother, Thomas has agreed to recruit Travis into the FBI.

Liis is stubborn, defiant, and yet somehow softens Thomas’s rough edges, making her the perfect agent to accompany him to the ceremony. Posing as a couple, they must travel to Travis & Abby’s beach vow renewal and give him the news, but when the pretending ends, she finds herself wondering if they were pretending at all.

In the second installment of the Maddox Brothers books, experience firsthand the mysterious world of the elusive Thomas Maddox, and how good love can be when you’re not the first, but the last.

Teaser...


He leaned down, and what began as an almost experimental soft kiss turned both lustful and romantic.  His lips moved with mine as if he'd remembered them, even missed the way they'd felt.  Unlike anything I'd experienced before, a strange electrical current crackled through me, melting my nerves away.  We had done this so many times before--in a fantasy or maybe a dream.  It was the best kind of déjà vu.  (Page 7)

After finishing Beautiful Oblivion, I couldn't not pick this one up.  It's interesting from page one! So good.  Did you miss my review yesterday of Beautiful Oblivion?  Check it out here!




In His Keeping (Slow Burn, #2)In His Keeping (Slow Burn #2) by Maya Banks

#1 bestselling author Maya Banks continues her suspenseful and steamy Slow Burn trilogy with this second book-a twisting tale featuring a strong yet vulnerable heroine in danger and the sexy alpha hero who must save her.

Abandoned as a baby to a young wealthy couple and raised in a world of privilege, Arial has no hint of her past or who she belonged to. Her only link lies in the one thing that sets her apart from everyone else—telekinetic powers. Protected by her adoptive parents and hidden from the public to keep her gift secret, Ari is raised in the lap of luxury, and isolation. That is, until someone begins threatening her life.

Beau Devereaux is no stranger to the strange. As the head of Deveraux Security, he’s more than familiar with the realities of physic powers. So when a family friend approaches him about protecting his daughter, he’s more than ready to jump on board. What Beau isn’t prepared for is the extent of his attraction to his beautiful and powerful client. What began as a simple assignment, just another job, quickly turns personal as Beau discovers he’ll do anything at all to protect Ari. Even if it costs him his life.



Teaser...


She'd changed him. Made him a better man. A man he never thought he could be--never wanted to be. But she changed everything--his world--his place in his world. Suddenly he'd wanted to be a better man. For her. Because it was what she deserved. And he would never place her in harm's way with his business practices. It was a new experience for him. Living clean. In the light. Having someone who made him want to feel...worthy.

I read Keep Me Safe back in November and really enjoyed it, so when I saw the sequel was out I picked this baby right up. I'm still only at the beginning, but it's already making my heart happy. 


Those are our teasers for this week! What do you think? Do you have a teaser to share? Leave us a comment!

  1. Both teasers are very romantic, probably the best kinds of reads for this time of year although I'm more interested by the synopsis and teasers from In his Keeping than the Maddox brothers.
    Here's my teaser, taken from Unhinged:

  4. I had to read them pretty much back to back, too. Thomas has a bit of Travis's alphaness and I was pleasantly surprised after reading Trent's story - but I won't say more to avoid spoilers. :)
