Review & Giveaway: Enemy Lover by Karin Harlow

Tie me down, lock me up, take away my credit card. Why??? Because I just fell in love with a new author who blew me away! And Why am I so excited? Let me tell you, Enemy Lover by Karin Harlow, that's way. Karin has written a story that will make you too a follower. And the best thing is that Enemy Lover is only book 1 in the L.O.S.T series!

Here we have the story of Angela Giacomelli, or the woman who used to be Angela Giacomelli, Baltimore PD. One tough, bad ass cop kicking butt all over the city. That is until the night she was abandoned by her squad, practically left for dead. A ruthless pimp raped, beat and mutilate Angela almost to death while her fellow officers could have cared less standing by doing NOTHING!

But revenge was Angela's and she got it, but at the price .... of her life. She is on her way to prison, an ex-cop in prison. We all know that is bad news and so does Angela, her anger and hurt can only shield her for so long before she falls. And fall hard she will.

She knows she won't last long, scared, angry bitter and lost. So when a bomb goes off on the prison bus and she is kidnapped she knows this event isn't some random accident. That is when Angela Giacomelli died and Jax Cassidy is born. The the help of her new team, L.O.S.T (Last Option Special Team ), and Godfather, not to mention 6mo. to intense therapy she has become a killing machine. But to prove herself to Godfather and the team she is given the mission to take down Marcus Cross. He just happens to be the right hand man to one Colonel Joseph Lazarus, leader of The Solution. Little do Godfather or anyone else on the team know that Lazarus is a vampire and Marcus is his sire. A perfect killing machine, hit man of sorts with his background as a Special Ops sniper in Afghanistan, where he was left for dead. Until Lazarus gave Marcus a second change at life, but at what price. He is now a vampire.

Marcus is soon to find out the price as he learns that Jax is now after him, problem being, an intense attraction that all but paralyzes both of them. Their games of cat and mouse leave both stunned at the attraction and eager for more.

What Marcus realizes thought when he gets a hold of Jax is that he can't let her go. Ever.

This is when Marcus starts to question Lazarus his sire and his boss, he has done his bidding without question, without a second thought. But now that Jax is in his life it starts to become clear to him that the work that Lazarus is doing, especially threatening children of his enemies is wrong.

Marcus must make a decision, go against Lazarus the same man who gave him a second chance at life, albeit a vampire but still a second chance. Jax is now his heart, their love and their bond grows more powerful by the day. Choosing the to work with Jax and the L.O.S.T time could be the downfall of them all when Lazarus takes his revenge on the team and Marcus himself.

My favorite quote when Marcus tells her ".....You are an angel of mercy send to save my soulless self."

This story will break your heart, leave you hanging on the edge of your seat and make you cry all at the same time!
Karin Harlow has created such fantastical elements that are woven seamlessly into the lives of these characters, making the reader feel a part of the action, leaving them breathless and longing for more! Jax and Marcus are such in-depth characters and Harlow perfectly illustrates who they are and how they feel at every suspenseful turn. Delicious and explosive all at the same time. I simply loved every word!

It’s Jax Cassidy’s first mission for L.O.S.T.—one that will give the former cop who went rogue a chance to prove herself. Her assignment: gain the trust of assassin Marcus Cross . . . eliminate him . . . then take down Marcus’s mentor, Joseph Lazarus, a man with a bold eye on the White House. But the woman who’s known by her team for being a femme fatale succumbs to passion, only to discover Cross’s deadly secret. He’s a vampire, and Joseph Lazarus is his creator.

Left for dead by his platoon in the violent hills of Afghanistan, special ops sniper Marcus Cross was given a second chance at life. His newly heightened skills make him the perfect killing machine, and as Lazarus's right hand man, he’s quickly rising to the top of his dark empire, purging enemies with speed and precision. Only when dangerous beauty Jax Cassidy is sent to bring him in does he begin to question Lazarus’s motives and his own actions. But when Jax’s life is threatened by the one thing that can destroy them both, Marcus must make a bitter choice—her death or his.
