⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Police Constable Olivia Johnston-Denny has only been on the job a couple of years. She is an intelligent and driven feminist. Tonight she finds a lot of trouble that will catapult her into a world of intrigue, money, danger and sex.
Jackson T.  Paine is an all American farm boy who is being tipped as a possible Presidential candidate.  He is just far too honest for some people to allow that to happen.  His diplomatic trip to London could end all his prospects one way or another.  This is an exciting romantic suspense that moves so fast it makes your head spin.  Our heroine hardly gets time to have a glass of wine.  Our sexy hero just might have more woman than he can handle. 
Can our wee Scottish lassie save her hot shot cowboy? 
This is part of a series but each book is easily read on it's own. 
I loved it.

Seduction of Guilt (Seduction Series) by Emma Calin. Romantic Suspense. Release & ARC Review.



Sexy but alone Helen Marx is a cop too guilty to love. Sexy but alone Marco Ambastilias is the world’s greatest opera star too guilty to sing. When their guilt collides their bodies betray their needs in a climax worthy of theatre, worthy of love.
Widowed as a bride, Police dog handler Constable Helen Marx loses herself in her work. For eight years her German shepherd Lanza has been at her side. When a thug leaves him gravely wounded the whole framework of her life is gone. As her dog fights for life, Marco Ambastilias, the renowned but reclusive opera star comes to her side. There is a spark and a rekindling of her own passionate sexuality. She enters his life and that of his daughter Cressida whose drug issues have brought her into contact with deeply evil men.  Helen uncovers a terrorist plot to attack the Queen at the Royal Ascot race meeting but has orders not to alert Marco and his daughter who will be attending the event. A desperate struggle against suicide attackers reveals her deception and she loses his trust and they split. Police work sweeps her up. The supreme world terrorist leader remains at liberty, planning another outrage. Global authorities come together to set a trap. Can she convince Marco to act as bait? Can she overcome her guilt at loving a man again and then deceiving him? Can she express her own sexual desires without guilt? Could the music and eroticism of love put an end to the joyless dictatorship of terrorism? Could a seed of joy root in her flesh? Seduction of Guilt – when naughty goes good.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



PC. Helen Marx is on a routine burglary call with her canine partner Lanzo when the worst happens.  Her beloved dog has taken a bullet for her.  From then on her "normal" life is shaken up and thrown into a whirlwind of the mega rich super stars and terrorism. 
Marco Ambastilias is a retired opera singer.  He no longer feels the passion needed to perform his art at it's best.  His teenage daughter has gone slightly off the rails and he needs to save her,  even if it's from herself. 
This is a sexy and exciting story.  Our author has as usual given us a tale that we could easily see playing out on our streets.  A day at the races,  or a concert is a tempting target for those whose only want to spread terror.  There are many heroes in this book and the biggest has four feet and represents many like him on all our streets today. 
I loved every page and cried more than a few tears.

Seduction of Wealth: Hot Cops. Hot Crime. Hot Romance. by Emma Calin. Romantic Suspense ARC Review.


Add To 


What would you do if your bosses told you to break the law? How far would you go before you questioned them? What if you’re a cop and your bosses are the law? 

London traffic cop Kaitlyn Thorn narrowly escapes a Mafia attack on the world-dominating banker Randolph Quinn, a key witness under her protection. Someone on the inside has gone bad and betrayed her location. With orders to keep him alive at all costs, she has to run from her own team and gamble on nothing but her own instincts. 

Alone with this sexy and powerful man, her desire to know him in every way begins to dictate her actions. They want her to stay close to him, but just how far can she go before her passion clouds her judgement? If she loves him will she be able to betray and turn him in, as she surely must? 

United with Randolph in all-or-nothing danger, she abandons herself to moments of pleasure, knowing every delicious second could be her last. Can she really trust their love? As risks escalate she must demonstrate her courage and skill but will it be enough to save them both from destruction? 

'Seduction of Wealth', another stand-alone story in Emma Calin’s 'Seduction Series', combining thrilling crime mystery with steamy suspense romance. If you enjoy James Patterson, Catherine Coulter, Nora Roberts and Kendra Elliot you'll love a story that combines all of their best traits in a fast-paced, pulse-pounding roller-coaster adventure full of romance, deception, danger and love. A juicy mix of cops, crime and passion with a HEA ending. 

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ


Police Constable Kaitlyn Thorn is a traffic cop and has been sent to an accident.  That was not what she found.  So begins a walk on the wild side for our honest and incredibly brave heroine.  She will need to search her conscience and look deep into her heart to take on her new job.  Can she be sure just who she is working for??
Randolph Quinn,  billionaire banker,  playboy or big time gangster,  victim or perpetrator,  which is he???
The bullets are flying,  the blood is flowing,  the sex is steamy and money rules. 
This is really an adventure into just what money can buy,  and what people will do to get it.  I had a giggle at the name of the Chinese Triad ,  almost made me want to work for them.  This is book that can easily be read on it's own, but you will meet someone from a previous story .
A book you can't put down until the end. It just might melt your kindle it's so hot.

Seduction of Santa (Seduction, #6) by Emma Calin. Contemporary Romantic Suspense. ARC Review.


Add To


A stand-alone mystery, action, adventure and steamy romance from Emma Calin, this time with a Christmas twist and as always a Happy Ever After ending.

Paula Middleton, a cop respected and loved by all, but a woman alone with no one to love. When her heart encounters the tough and wild Max Muswell, she loses her head to a wanton passion. Together or apart they confront the same evil enemies. Will the conflict shatter their hope or unite them in love for Christmas?

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ


Paula Middleton is a P. C. with the Met. in Brixton . That is quite a rough area of London,  but she has worked it as a community police officer for thirteen years and knows a lot of it's people.  When a warehouse manager calls her in to report a lot of thefts, she realizes there is something very nasty going on, on her patch.  That will not do. 
Max Muswell fought his way up from a bad start in the roughest areas of London.  Now he has plenty of money, a son he adores, but a big problem with his staff. 
I love the fact that our heroine is a curvy woman nearing forty.  It proves there is hope for everyone. She is a good cop,  and everyone who knows her,  loves her.  We don't all have to be dolly birds. 
Our hero is not really the type a police officer should get involved with.  He has his own code of honour and doesn't always play by the rules. 
I can easily imagine this happening in today's London.  It can be hard for the cops to find the way to do what's morally right in our increasingly political correct world. 
As usual with this author I found myself immediately drawn in to our characters lives and enjoying every bit of it.  Great story and maybe a lesson for those who try and stick too much to the rules. 
I loved it.

Love Bleeds Blue (Passion Patrol #4) by Emma Calin. Romantic Suspense Release & ARC Review. ONLY 99c




A London girl cop, a violent political crisis, an instant decision. One moment of courage to catch the destiny of history.
When single mother Sergeant Sophia Castellana stumbles into a terrorist shooting, things are not as they seem. Global forces beyond her grasp sweep her up into an audacious scheme to re-unite a world in chaos. The love of a far younger man, the infatuation of a charismatic woman leader seduce her into a blur of inappropriate love and infinite danger. Power and celebrity beckon, betrayal and violence threaten every move as events unfold in the city of Paris. Her brute courage and loving woman’s heart confront ruthless enemies who offer no second chances. She knows the streets, she knows her power as a lover. Can she, dare she seize the prizes before her? Will a world offer her the choice?


๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ


Sergeant Sophia Castellana is just a normal Metropolitan police officer who finds herself thrust into a crazy situation.  Her truly heroic action could change the future of world.  A divorced mother of a teenage daughter should be at home nights eating a curry, not putting her life on the line.  I will not give you the hero's name because it might spoil the story. 
This book has such an incredible story line. It is so far fetched it makes you believe it could really happen.  I love the way our author makes fun of all the political figures. There are lots laughs and hot sexy scenes,  but also a few tears and emotionally charged moments. 
It is the third book in a series but easily read as a stand alone.  We do meet some old friends from the other books.
A real madcap adventure.  I loved it. 

COMPETITION:
For the two weeks following the launch there is a Rafflecopter sweepstake link in the back of the book, to win a brand-new Kindle Fire 7" Tablet worth $50 (gift card equivalent alternative in countries where product not available).

Passion Patrol 2, by Emma Calin. Hot Cops, Hot Crime, Hot Romance. My Review.

Add To

A sexy aristocrat. A wild-child inner city cop. A crime wave of passion.

A steamy romance novel introducing a sassy female police officer who locks up criminals and always gets her man.

The second book in the "Passion Patrol" series featuring hot cops, hot crime and hot romance. Following the success of "Passion Patrol 1" the drama in "Passion Patrol 2" revolves around another feisty female cop - Shannon Aguerri.

Moved out from the city after one-too-many maverick missions, Shannon discovers there's more going on in the sleepy country village than meets the eye. The son of a local aristocrat arouses suspicion of drug crime activity... but his widower father arouses more animal instincts!

Could she really mix with the British royal family? Can she risk her heart and career on yet another high risk unauthorised investigation? Can she get justice for an innocent boy? Dare a kid from the gutter dream of being a countess?

Wild child inner city cop Shannon Aguerri walks a dangerous line between her methods and justice. When the bosses lose their nerve, she is transferred to green pastures to play out the role of a routine village cop. In Fleetworth-Green she encounters signs of people and drug trafficking
and homes in on serious millionaire criminals.

As a loner she has attracted men but nothing has stuck. When she meets Spencer, the hunky and widowed Earl of Bloxington, there is an immediate rapport between them. Their social differences mean nothing to their passion and need. Already in the mix is an upper class female rival who has long plotted her way into the Earl's bed. The jealousy is an evil shade of green and the anger is a violent scarlet.

Often inhibited by a sense of duty and honour, Spencer is slow to reveal his feelings. When Shannon confronts him with the need to choose between her word and that of her rival, he does not immediately support her.

All the same, when they are forced together to carry out a desperate rescue mission, their love is stronger than everything ranged against them.

Please note: This book contains joyful sex between adults in a consenting relationship. There is also strong language in high-stress police confrontations with criminals.

๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ


WPC Shannon Aguerri  is a mixed race city girl whose gung ho attitude and smart mouth has resulted in a posting to a little country village . She is also a very good copper.  Her new posting will bring her a lot more excitement than she could possibly expect. 
Widower Spencer Chamberlain - Knightsmith,  the Earl of Bloxington owns most of the land surrounding the village . His teenage son is a good lad who might be making the wrong friends. 
We have a lot of normal minor crimes that you will find in any country village,  but there are also some very bad people about. 
This is a funny and sexy romance and an exciting and dangerous police procedure story.  Our heroine is a very brave and brash young woman with a strong sense of justice and a great sense of humour.  Our hero is older, upper class and sexy.  He is also not afraid to get down and dirty when it's needed. 
A fun Cinderella type story.  I loved it.  

This is the second in a series of Stand Alone books
