I started reading Corrine Michaels when she published
Consolation/ Conviction. I immediately kicked myself for not reading her
previous work and vowed to read anything she publishes.
Defenseless’ blurb had me dying to read this book. Romantic
suspense is becoming one of my favorite genres. And Corrine NAILED it. Charlie
and Mark had amazing chemistry and I just didn’t want the book to end!
Charlie is undercover agent and Mark is a navy seal. The
alpha personalities were loads of fun to read. The banter, the sexual chemistry
just jumped off the pages. The sex was off the charts and I couldn’t get enough
of this couple.
There came a point in the book where the plot took off and
putting the kindle was no longer an option. I was glued to the story. There
were even times that I got a little emotional. Charlie really was a fantastic
heroine that had me inside her head and I felt every emotion she did. Mark was
just plain and simple HOT. He was strong and alpha but so kind and loving. He’s
up there with the rest of my book boyfriends.
Definitely read this book. I think at the end of the year
(yes I know it’s January) this book will still be in my top ten of the year. I loved
it!!
Defenseless by Corinne Michaels has it all -- a strong heroine readers connect with, a sexy hero you can't get enough of, and a story that I couldn't put down. This is the perfect book for anyone who has been struggling with the all too popular book funk.
I started reading Defenseless while in a book drought. Books weren't capturing my attention and making me want to binge read like usual, and I worried that Defenseless would fall victim to my slump. I've read and enjoyed Corinne Michaels' work before so I hoped she would be the author to snap me out of my mood.
Defenseless was fantastic! It had aspects that were familiar to what she's written before (strong heroine, irresistible hero), but the story was unique and unlike her other novels. I was swept away into this fictional world, and I never wanted to leave. The chemistry between Charlie and Mark made their relationship come alive and I bought in to their potential happily ever after. However it was the element of suspense and the beautifully written story line that made Defenseless an undeniably amazing read.

“I made you a promise, Charlie.”
Mark’s already deep voice is layered with desire.
Once again, my control begins to
slip. “What’s that?”
His hands drop a little lower beside
my head. His lower body shifts so his knee is between my legs. I feel his
arousal against my thigh.
My traitorous body shows its own
awakening. My nipples hardening through the silk material don’t go unnoticed.
Heat pools in my core and my breath hitches. I want him. There’s no use denying
it.
“I told you I’d kiss you again. If
you don’t stop me now, there’s no getting away.”
I should stop him. I need to stop
him. There’s no way in hell it’s going to happen, though. I’m craving his lips
again.
He gives me one second before he
crushes his mouth against mine. His entire body shifts forward, and now I’m
trapped. There’s nowhere to go. Nowhere to move that’s not Mark. He takes every
part of my mind and body. Our hands roam each other as his tongue slides
against mine. Passion ignites between us; it sets the room on fire. His fingers
cup my neck and then glide down the front of my dress. His hand brands my skin
as he takes his time exploring the open skin between us.
My fingers grip the lapels of his
tux, holding him, molding him to me. I can’t get close enough. Our mouths stay
fused as we both lose control.
Then my mind snaps.
I push back and my hands fly to my
lips. They’re swollen, bruised from the force of the kiss. His hands brace
against the wall. I keep my eyes downcast. I can’t believe I just did that,
against the damn wall, at a ball commemorating my father.
I shift my dress, rake my fingers
through my hair, and pull myself together.
“Charlie . . .” Mark finally speaks.
It sounds like shouting even though it’s only loud enough for us to hear.
“That was the last time that will ever
happen,” I say with no tremor to my voice. “Tonight we become partners. It’s
not about whatever this is.” I shift my hands between us. “It’s about finding
the information we’re both searching for.”
“And what if we find something
else?”
“We shut it down. There’s no room
for feelings in this world.”
Mark pushes back, giving me space. I
instantly feel cold. “Okay, then. Have it your way.”
This is what I wanted, what we both
need, but suddenly I wish it wasn’t. I wish I could pull him close, kiss him,
fuck him, and just feel.
But wishes are for little girls.
