For Maggie's Sake

I somehow had never read a book by Lora Leigh until For Maggie's Sake. Yes I know she has been around for years, but for some reason I missed out on her books when they were originally published. I was excited for the opportunity to give her books a try when offered a review copy of For Maggie's Sake. I have to say I very much enjoyed her voice and look forward to reading many more books from her in the future. For Maggie's Sake hit on all my favorite romantic suspense elements. The mystery wasn't too over the top and kept me engaged to the end. The sex was smoking hot and I loved the chemistry between Maggie and Joe. I'm also a pretty big fan of reunion-type stories, so the fact that Joe and Maggie had a past together was just a bonus for me. I hated they had to go through the years apart, with Maggie marrying another man to find one another again, but honestly felt like they wouldn't have been ready for a relationship then. I hated Maggie ended up marrying a man who was a total ass and only went after her because he knew it would hurt Joe. The fact Grant was supposed to be Joe's best friend made me even angrier. For Maggie's Sake was a smoking hot romantic suspense book. The mystery of where the evidence was kept me engaged to the end and I loved seeing Maggie and Joe figure out what they needed to do this time to make their relationship work.

For Maggie's Sake by Lora Leigh is a great short story to read. Maggie has been through the ringer which you find out why as soon as you start in the first chapter. I like how Lora gives you a back story on her characters so that as a reader you feel like you have met them before. Joe is an ex Navy Seal, and Maggie's ex lover. She needed something more, something steady. She already fell for Joe, but he was not ready. So he leads her to believe he was with someone else. Before you know it Maggie is married to Joe's best friend. Yes this story throws you in for a loop. And you will enjoy it. Yes this story has a lot of drama and suspense. Lora Leigh will keep you on your toes with this book. The passion that Joe and Maggie had for each other is electrifying. Even after years being apart, is it still there? Joe suspect Maggie may have been involved in something illegal, but his heart say otherwise. The sexy scenes Lora gives in detail make you melt. I love passion and when it is described like in this story, you can feel the emotions in her characters. Lora Leigh is amazing with her writing and I am always coming back for more!

Short, sexy and suspenseful! This one has a lot packed into a short amount of pages. Maggie Chavez is still being interrogated over things her dead husband was involved in. They are convinced that Maggie knows more then she is giving them. Making things worse, the DEA agent on the case is her ex-lover Joe Merino. Knowing that she could be in danger from the scum her husband was involved with she's put under protection with Joe as her guard. Resisting the blazing chemistry between them will be the hardest thing either has ever tried to do but if she's ever going to get her life back they need to stay focused. Can they do it?? A good story and I would definitely recommend it.
