Thanks to SIBA–and some really great friends–I’ve got some wonderful ARCs just waiting for me to read. Actually, I just finished one ARC, UNDERCOVER by Lauren Dane. Jealous? 🙂

I was thrilled to have the chance to read this book. I love Lauren–she’s a great lady and one fabulous writer. By the way, the woman has a kick-ass backlist. If you haven’t checked out her books before, you totally should. She’s got great variety in her stories.

But, back to UNDERCOVER. Here’s the blurb:

A sexy debut exploring an erotic future universe of passion, danger, and deceit…

On the battleground or in the bedroom, one woman and two men fight for dominance in a bold, new, and excitingly different direction in erotica…

As a lieutenant of the Federation military, Sera Ayers is accustomed to giving orders, not taking them. Now she must obey the one man she can’t stand—and can’t stop thinking about.

With the enemy Imperialists gaining ground, a covert team is assembled by Ash Walker. Ten years before, Sera had lovingly submitted to Ash’s dominance in the bedroom. But when he was forced into a political marriage, she refused to play mistress. His marriage now over, Ash wants Sera on his team—and back in his bed.

The third team member, Brandt Pela, has an elegance to match Ash’s savage sexuality. And when their undercover plan requires Sera to pose as Brandt’s lover, it ignites a passion among the three of them more dangerous than their mission.

Ah, that’s good blurbage–and it’s also one great book. Steamy, no, hot–and emotional. I think one of Lauren’s biggest strengths is her ability to write a highly sensual story that manages to pull at your heart strings so many times.

The story is dramatic. It’s packed full of action. It’s got great characters (can I say that I loved Brandt?). Lauren’s NY debut is a read you will not soon forget.

UNDERCOVER releases on December 2nd, but, why wait? You can order this book on Amazon now.

Thanks for a great read, Lauren.

And, yep, I’ll be doing more ARC reviews very soon. I plan to hit lots of different genres–I’ve got hard-edged crime, YA urban fantasy, romantic suspense…and much more. I just have to find the time to read all these great stories.

Anyone else read any good books or ARCs lately?
