Coming soon from Lori Foster, A PERFECT STORM - there's a giveaway!

My good friend Lori Foster has a new book, A PERFECT STORM, releasing in a couple of weeks and trust me, you'll want to get your hands on it! 

He never saw her coming…
Spencer Lark already knows too many secrets about Arizona Storm, including the nightmare she survived and her resulting trust issues. But in order to expose a smuggling ring—and continue avenging his own tragic past—the bounty hunter reluctantly agrees to make Arizona a decoy. Yet nothing has equipped him for her hypnotic blend of fragility and bravery, or for the protective instincts she stirs in him.
Arizona wants to reclaim her life, which means acting as bait to lure the enemy into a trap. Sure it's dangerous, especially with a partner as distractingly appealing as Spencer. But as their plan—and their chemistry—shifts into high gear, Arizona may discover there's an even greater risk in surrendering her heart to a hero….
You'll find an excerpt and ordering info here.
My review:
When Spencer Lark is assigned to protect Arizona Storm as she offers herself up as bait for a vicious group of human traffickers, he tries to keep distance between him and the much-younger Arizona, despite an undeniable attraction.  Arizona knows human trafficking first-hand after she herself was a victim.
Spencer admires Arizona’s resilience and strength, despite her heartbreaking past. Arizona regrets her past more than anyone will ever know, but she’s used it as a learning experience, serving to make her ever stronger and capable of taking care of herself.
I think you’d be hard pressed to find a romance reader who hasn’t read Lori Foster. I’m just one of many readers who has enjoyed Lori’s work for years.  Her voice is strongly unique.  Her characters are capable and unashamedly bold, especially when it comes to passion. No need to be explicit when you can sensually explore and capture beautiful emotion.
In A PERFECT STORM, Lori tackles the topic of human trafficking head-on, shining a light on brutally painful truths, while sparing readers graphic details.
A PERFECT STORM is a wonderfully written continuation of Lori Foster’s Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series. Catching up with characters from previous titles is like coming home.  I recommend this series to all readers who appreciate well-written romance.

To celebrate Lori's upcoming release, I'm offering one reader their choice of a Kindle or Nook version of one of the three previous books in this series, WHEN YOU DARE, TRACE OF FEAR, or SAVOR THE DANGER. Just leave a comment about your favorite Lori Foster book, your favorite cover, character, etc.  I'll draw the winning name on Friday, March 16th, so be sure and check back.  If you think you might forget to check back, feel free to leave your email addy with your comment.
Thank you for checking out A PERFECT STORM, and a big thank you to Lori for allowing me to read and review this wonderful book for you!
