Havoc

Lori Foster has fast become one of my favorite authors. I had read a couple of her other books, and liked them well enough to continue getting her books. Then I got my hands on Causing Havoc, and fell hard for Dean "Havoc" and the whole SBC Fighting world. She writes her heroes just as I like them. A little arrogant, a little alpha, a whole lot of "hottie" and they even have a heart *g* Even if it takes a bit for them to find that out. Eve & Dean hit it off the moment they met. Then they find out that Dean is actually Eve's best friend's long lost brother. He has a lot in store for him. He didn't actually think he'd be gaining a family, yet that is exactly what happens. You also get a little bit of mystery in the story. Who hates Dean enough to try and get rid of him? Thankfully, that doesn't take up the whole story. You see him interacting with his sisters, and trying not to bond with them, but can't help it. In the middle of all that, he is exploring his relationship with Eve. Whom he realizes pretty quickly that he doesn't want to be without. There are also other relationships forming in the book, but it's not overdrawn. And you still end up happy with all the HEA's :)

Loved It

As a fan of UFC I really enjoyed the book. The hero reminded me of a few of the fighters that I drool over and that made it even better. Her hero was just the right blend of macho sensitivity and the heroine had a good amount of spunk. The secondary romance was a very nice add and I was a little surprised at the villian. I also thought that her secondary characters were believable. I highly recommend this book and can't wait to finish reading the next installment.

Fantastic FOSTER strikes again

Lori Foster hits another home run with this book!! I absolutely loved the characters in the story. Dean(Havoc) and Eve have amazing chemistry, add in all the personality quirks of the characters in the story and you have a fast, very entertaining read!! I love the link to the "Extreme" fighting characters, they all look so interesting on TV!! Dean's friends from the fighting world add some spice and iterest to the story as well. I cannot wait until Simon's story comes out!!

Foster Delivers!

Dean "Havoc" Conor is an extreme fighter, with stunning good lucks despite the hit's he's taken to the face, all the groupies a guy could want--without the commitment issues and money, plenty of money. So how could his well ordered world turn upside down and sideways? Easy, he receives a letter from his long lost sister Camille. Camille wants him to return home to Harmony, Kentucky and Havoc decides to pay his baby sister a visit. His arrival in town is far from smooth and he meets the one woman he can't get out of his mind...Eve. Now Dean finds himself the recipient of warm hugs from one sister, cool acceptance from another, and suffering from a burning attraction for Eve he can't seem to quench. It seems as if life is bent on causing havoc. Eve can't believe her eyes, or her body's response when she sets eyes on Dean for the first time. When she sees him again it's not in the way she expects and she just knows this man is going to send her world spinning. After all...any man that can kiss the way he does is danger to a woman's heart with a capital D. But will this man ever want to settle down, and once his visit in Harmony is up, will she be willing to let him walk away? Eve is prepared to go to extreme to keep the man she loves beside her. First off anything Ms. Foster writes is going to guarantee the reader a pleasurable few hours it takes to read the story. The reason behind this is craft. Ms. Foster does an amazing job at creating characters that are flawed...but not so much that they can't be redeemed in the end. She allows her characters to bumble, appear less then hero like only to grow and become the people the readers will sigh over. Dean is a perfect example of this. He is harsh and opinionated, cold because of what he has believed about his situation, and yet despite his misgivings and attitude he find himself being the big brother he didn't think he was or wanted to be. The reader will be treated to a wide range of emotions, conflict and characters. Opening up a book penned by Ms Foster is like stepping into a privately populated town, one you will be sad to leave when the read is at an end and one you will save so you can re-visit old friends.

Move over Joe Winston...Dean Conor is hot!!!

Dean Conor and his sisters, Jacki and Cam, were split up as children when their parents died years ago. Dean, now a professional fighter, vows to return to his hometown of Harmony and reconnect with his sisters. Jacki and Cam greet him with open arms and he comes to know them and love them all over again. Unfortunately, his return isn't all a grand reunion. Their Aunt Lorna hates him and Cam's almost fiancé Roger distrusts him. But one good thing about the trip is Dean meeting Eve Lavon. It's lust at first sight for them and it doesn't take long before they're in a steamy relationship. But Dean has to contend with his family and other distractions in between his trysts with Eve. Then someone starts sending signals they don't want Dean in town. Who are they...and why? Causing Havoc is a new story from Lori Foster and this one is immediately going on my list as one of my all time favorite books by this fabulous author. Dean may be a fighter, but he has a heart of gold. He's kind, caring and will do anything to protect the ones he love. Even with his aunt sending him dagger looks and saying rude remarks about him, he puts up with her. The romance between Dean and Eve sizzles with their sparkling chemistry. They're like two matched halves that complete each other. When they dealt with her little *inconvenience*, it made me sniffle. Also part of the plot of Causing Havoc are secondary romances between Jacki and Gregor, a fighter friend of Dean's; and Cam and Roger's attempts to right their relationship again. All these characters make for a well rounded tale of love, family, honor and making old wrongs right. If you haven't read a Lori Foster book lately, then I suggest you head on out and pick up Causing Havoc. Dean is a sigh-worthy hero who will have you drooling and linger in your memory for years to come, just like Joe Winston has for many. Move over, Eve, I want Dean. ? The words fly across the pages and makes Causing Havoc one fantastically entertaining story. Can you tell I liked it? You bet! And I can't wait for more stories from Harmony.
