Today’s Riot Rundown is sponsored by Dirty Little Secret by Jennifer Ryan

John Cordero groomed his step-son Noah to take over his Montana ranch one day, but when John unexpectedly dies, he leaves half the ranch to Roxy, his daughter Noah never knew about.

Inheriting a ranch from her estranged father means Roxy now shares a home with infuriating, challenging, and oh-so-tempting Noah. But the secrets don’t end there – John also owned the notorious Wild Rose Ranch, a brothel in Nevada, where Roxy grew up, and made it part of her inheritance.

As their strictly business relationship starts to turn to true love, Roxy wonders what will happen when Noah discovers her dirty little secret?

Today’s Riot Rundown is sponsored by MIRA Books and HUNTING ANNABELLE by Wendy Heard.

Sean Suh is done with killing. After serving three years in a psychiatric prison, he’s determined to stay away from temptation. But he can’t resist Annabelle—beautiful, confident, incandescent Annabelle—who alone can see past the monster to the man inside. The man he’s desperately trying to be.
Then Annabelle disappears.
Sean is sure she’s been kidnapped—he witnessed her being taken firsthand—but the police are convinced that Sean himself is at the center of this crime. And he must admit, his illness has caused him to “lose time” before. What if there’s more to what happened than he’s able to remember?
To save Annabelle, Sean will have to do more than confront his own demons… He’ll have to let them loose.

When the lines are erased, the passion begins.
Lines define Tracy Rhodes’s life, and she has no say in the matter once she is sworn in as second-in-command of the free world. But the lines are crushed beneath the boots of her security team’s special advisor during a high-profile event in Vegas. The towering warrior with the haunting stare shatters her composure, invades her libido, and makes her yearn for things she shouldn’t. John Franzen, six and a half feet of rigid composure on the outside, is a lost man on the inside. What’s he doing here? A guy isn’t supposed to survive eleven years in Special Forces, especially after the crazy missions he’s been assigned. Accepting the security gig in Vegas is just a favor to a friend—a way to fill time that’s become too damn empty lately. Until the cushy “babysitting job” becomes the most treacherous mission of his life, and the politician he’s protecting becomes the woman in his bed.

Riddance is a richly detailed illustrated and “researched” novel in the vein of Lincoln in the Bardo. Read more here [link to: http://bit.ly/2QUnRR2].
