Kate Daniels Series
 The world has suffered a magic apocalypse. We pushed the technological progress too far, and now magic returned with a vengeance. It comes in waves, without warning, and vanishes as suddenly as it appears. When magic is up, planes drop out of the sky, cars stall, electricity dies. When magic is down, guns work and spells fail.
It’s a volatile, screwed-up world. Magic feeds on technology, gnawing down on skyscrappers until most of them topple and fall, leaving only skeletal husks behind. Monsters prowl the ruined streets, werebears and werehyenas stalk their prey; and the Masters of the Dead, necromancers driven by their thirst of knowledge and wealth, pilot blood-crazed vampires with their minds.
In this world lives Kate Daniels. Kate likes her sword a little too much and has a hard time controlling her mouth. The magic in her blood makes her a target, and she spent most of her life hiding in plain sight. But sometimes even trained killers make friends and fall in love, and when the universe tries to kick them in the face, they kick back.
Includes the Curran POV series

 


On the Edge
 The Edge lies between worlds, on the border between the Broken, where people shop at Wal-Mart and magic is a fairy tale—and the Weird, where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny…

Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family’s massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who’d been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative—completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he’s never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe’s so tempting he’s willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office.

Originally only available online as The Office by tby789—and garnering over two million reads on fan fiction sites—Beautiful Bastard has been extensively updated for re-release 

Review

****Netgalley provided me with a copy of this book for my honest review****

Chloe has worked at this company for a long time, she loves it  there, is close to the family who owns it and is really close to getting her MBA. Everything was perfect until Bennet comes home and she has to work with him. He is a demanding, perfectionist jerk, he also happens to be extremely hot. They don't like each other but have undeniable sexual chemistry that they can't ignore. Once they give in they can't stop wanting each other and giving in to the want could end up destroying them both. Chloe is funny, smart, sexy and knows what she wants, as much as she dislikes Bennet she can't help but think he is beautiful. Bennet is strong, he knows when he is being an ass but he can't seem to help himself. Their story was amusing to read, they kept denying their feelings for each other, but every time one of them tried to date some one else they got jealous. The sex scenes in this book were scorching hot, with some humor thrown into them. The two main characters really were perfect for each other. I loved this book and I am now a big fan of Christina Lauren.
