My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great collection of stories written by eight great authors. Each story is different, original and brings romance and suspense to a new level. These are a group of authors that some are new to me and some I have read before. They are written with a lot of heart and emotion. One of my favorites was Her Dancer. It brought the suspense and the twists and turns to a new level for me. It pulled me into the story and I had to see what would happen next. These are a really great collection of stories that I think anyone would enjoy and it certainly will get you in the mood for Halloween. I highly recommend this anthology.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sexy Drug (Losing My Heart Book 1) by Melody Calder is fast moving with drama and danger, drugs and love, action, and suspense. The cover leads to think this is a dark story and it is not wrong. This intense story is both confronting and brutal and certainly keeps the pages turning. My heart was pounding, and I often found myself holding my breath at the emotions I found myself dealing with.

Ruthless and cruel is what she is used to so when she finds out about her bodyguard, she expected the same.

Sexy Drug (Losing My Heart #1)Sexy Drug by Melody Calder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I live in a world where I am a commodity to my father, but when a new bodyguard turns up can I make nice and tolerate him or will he shock me and see the real me.

Katie is the daughter of the big crime boss, she is an object to him but she is trying to become her own person but when you are watch 24/7 can I truly let my hair down and become the person I want to be.

Ramone started at the bottom of the pole, a drugs mule for the biggest crime family but slowly through the years he has progressed through the ranks and is now in the inner circle, the only problem now he has been asked to become the security to the bosses daughter, the only problem is he can’t stand her so this assignment should be interesting.

This is the first book I have read by this author and enjoyed this book from the first word to the last. The story is a lovely slow burn where you get to know the history and back story for both characters, I loved the way the characters play the antagonist to each other and while at the beginning they can’t stand each other but slowly get to know each other and then start having feelings.

The secondary characters in the book develop and draw you further into the story and the you feel invested in the mysteries and twist that this story has to offer. I really enjoyed this book and would love to read the next instalment and see if there are more answers revealed in the next book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sexy Drug is my first experience reading a Melody Calder book and I really enjoyed the story. I am anticipating the second book in the Losing My Heart series since this one left off on a cliffhanger and I now must know the remaining part of Katie and Ramone’s stories. This book is a story set in the midst of a cartel and how the main characters develop a friendship built on trust, in a world where trust can lead to death. Katie is the daughter of a ruthless drug lord and Ramone is one of the boss’s trusted men, assigned to protect Katie after it becomes clear someone is out to kill her. This story is fast paced with many questions still remaining to be answered, the main one being who will survive. I cannot wait for the next book to see where this story takes me.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked the idea of this book. I was eagerly ready to read it and get down to the nitty gritty. What I struggled with is the description of every little thing. There would be paragraphs of description then one line of dialogue. I am a person who need more dialogue. The descriptive is fine to set the scene but then let the characters be free to talk and move. Due to this the book seems to be way to slow. It picked up and got more interesting during the last half.

This is a cliffhanger and I wonder if that is why the story is slow. Basically filler to drag out the story for more books. Sorry I am not a fan of cliffhangers either.

As for the characters..Ramone has real promise. Strong and smart but not too smart. Katie is in a tight spot. Hopefully her character can get stronger and figure out how to break away. Carl is just exactly what someone would think when thinking of a crime lord.

Overall this is an okay book. I love the idea of the story. The characters are pretty spot on and solid. I would enjoy more dialogue and less minute by minute.

This is the first I’ve read by Melody Calder, and it didn’t disappoint! What a twisted world Katie lived in with a father like Carl. With her life in danger, Ramone is tasked with keeping her safe. He’s told not to touch, and expects it to be no issue because after all, Katie is just the spoiled princess daughter of the boss… right? It ends up being so so much more, and left me hanging! I’ll be back for the second book!

Sexy Drug (Losing My Heart #1)Sexy Drug by Melody Calder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I found Sexy Drug to be a very character centered book. Melody Calder was able to draw my interest in with the constant turmoil within Ramone fighting his feelings and keeping the facade of a killer. Katie’s hatred towards her father runs deep, and she tries to thwart his control at every interaction. She Also has a deep-seated hatred as she suspects Carl’s right-hand Danny to be the one that caused her mother’s disappearance. What I found unique about the plot was that the assassin had a voice. Going by the name of K, he is determined to finish his mission or face a gruesome death at the hands of the unknown person that has hired him. The details of this book are gruesome, and I would caution anyone adverse to extreme violence and bloody death scenes to proceed with extreme caution. The ending was climatic and left off leaving me questioning the true motives of Ramone and Carl Rosemand. I also wonder if K is given another chance to kill Katie or if his botched sniper attempt has cost him his freedom. I can solidly give this a 5-star rating as the plot compliments the character development and kept my interest that I read the entire book in one sitting.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sexy Drug is the first book I have read by Melody Calder, but I LOVED it. I cannot wait to read the rest of the Losing My Heart series. I was instantly hooked and didn’t want to put it down. Lucky for me, I was passenger on a road trip, so I got to read it all in 1 night. However, it had such a cliff hanger ending that I am left wanting more. The book focuses around Katie, the daughter of a drug lord/cartel leader. When there is an attempt on her life, her dad assigns her a body guard, Ramone. The reader and Katie first believes he is just hired muscle, and one of the “bad guys” but we soon see there may be something deeper. There are hints and clues into his past, and who he really is, but it is never fully revealed. I love that the mystery remained throughout. I love reading mafia books, but this one takes the cake. Highly recommend this book, and cannot wait to read the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is fire! Straight from the very first chapter I was sucked in and held until that last page that I wanted to come because I needed to know how things would come to a close, but at the same time I dreaded so much so. I loved this read and was so enamored. I could not get this book out of my head long after I had finished it. This brought the best of both worlds for me with the slow burn romance and the dark underworld of the mafia too. I won’t divulge all the details or anymore than the blurb does because I feel that would give away too much and ruin the experience for readers. This is one you won’t want to miss and you will have to take my world for it. I will definitely be back for more in this series as soon as it is available! Melody Calder was a new author to me when I picked up this gem but I was pleased with my experience so much I have since gone and one-clicked some of her other works to devour in the very near future as well!

I was sucked into the story immediately. Drama, tension, drug cartel, and a daughter caught up in being a pawn among all the secrets. Can Ramone whose job is to keep Katie safe after being shot save her from a life that she has no control over? Katie suffers PTSD and anxiety attacks after being shot, can Ramone help her become the strong woman that her father expects? It is the only way to keep them both safe from her father, a drug boss. The book ends without satisfying all my questions. I can’t wait for the next in the series.

I give Sexy Drug (Losing My Heart Book 1) by Melody Calder 5 out of 5 stars. This book hits the ground running and is a page-turner for sure! When spoiled daughter Katie is under attack, her father puts Ramone in charge of keeping her safe with one very important rule – keep your hands off! Ramone and Katie butt heads, so he thinks this will be no problem…boy, is he wrong! It’s not hard to get wrapped up in the lives of Katie and Ramone and these two are characters you will love to root for. The pace of this story keeps your attention and is well-written. The best part? It’s book 1 of the Losing My Heart series, so there is definitely more romance and action to come! Highly recommend this author and this book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sexy Drug by Melody Calder is the first book in the Losing My Heart Series. Identity is important, portrayal even more so. Kate finds this out as she learns everyone isn’t always who they seem on the outside.

Katie’s dad is a ruthless and cruel man. She can only assume her new body guard, Ramone, is the same. An instant dislike is apparent between the two. However, when you spend all of your time with someone, you get to know them on a deeper level.

Can first impressions be put aside for these two to work together, or is it a disaster from the start? If they can’t work it out, who suffers?

A mafia boss as cold and calculating as they come or so I thought. This book had me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next foot to fall. Katie the daughter of the mafia boss has many trials as she is put in her place by her father. Living with bodyguards constantly and no privacy is a never ending tight rope. Book 2 is a must in this series.

Intense, confronting and brutal. This author does not hold back. Once you dive in, you better hold your breath because you won’t come up for air until the end. I felt such a connection to Katie and Ramone and the world that the author creates is so tangible and real. Slow to build but that just adds to the essence of the storyline. With that ending I am in need of book 2.

I enjoyed this book. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from her in the future. This is a well written story about the daughter of a drug lord and a trusted employee. Ramone has been put in charge of Katie’s safety. Problem is she gets everything she wants. He has ambitions and he is not willing to let her get in his way. What happens next with them is not expected but you will want to find out! They are great characters that made the story feel realistic. This is an engaging story that is fast paced with romance and some action. I enjoyed watching their growth throughout their story. This is a shorter story that I highly recommend.

Sexy Drug is the first book in the Losing My Heart series by Melody Calder.
I was so upset when I went to the next page, just to realize it was over.
I found myself entranced in this story, I wasn’t ready for it to end.… I needed more.

Katie is the daughter of a dangerous drug lord and can have anything and everything she wants. Ramone is one of the Bosses trusted men.
They can’t stand each other. He sees a spoiled brat and she sees a ruthless man like her father. When Ramone gets put in charge of her safety and is forced to be with her 24/7, sparks will fly.
Will they be able to look past each other’s flaws and be friends?
Or will the demand of what is expected of them be too much?

It seems like everyone has secrets and no one can be trusted.

My heart goes out to Katie and all that she is going through.
I am appalled by her father and everything he is doing and I hope that he’s not going to get away with it.

I am so ready to see what happens next!
This is a great start to a series that is sure to be one of my favorites!

Sexy Drug by Melody Calder is the first book in the Losing My Heart series. This is a gripping story that jumps right into the action from page one. As the first book that I have read by this author I didn’t know what to expect at all and what I got was an exciting story that really captures your attention. I loved Katie and Ramone. You would think that they would have nothing in common at all and yet once you get to know them you see that they are more suited than you could guess. Their connection was obvious and I really enjoyed seeing their relationship develop.
The book was fast paced and thrilling to read. The author has a really strong writing style and it pulled me into the story immediately. This is a fantastic book and I am really looking forward to the next in the series.
