"5 Angels!...Thrilling, suspenseful, and a hottie to go along with all the action, Lure is an absorbing read. I got caught up in Karin, and her painful past, as she tries to put it behind her while setting a goal to become a powerful woman. Angelo may be a protector who wishes to safeguard her at any cost, but there is a kindhearted side to him that touches the reader. Ms. Valdez creates characters that are caring and go the nine yards for the other. She incorporates some twists and turns into the structure of the storyline that kept the story flowing. This is one book that this reader found gratifying. Ms. Valdez pens well-written stories that mesmerize the reader"--Linda L., Fallen Angel Reviews

...She ached for him not just to play with her nipple, but to lick and suck and even nip it gently with his teeth. She arched toward him, reaching to pull up his T-shirt and run her hands over his broad, solid pecs and play with his nipples, kissing his chest as she felt them tighten beneath her touch.
He stopped and pulled down her blouse.
“Don’t,” she said, her lips against his.
“Don’t?”
“Don’t stop, Angelo. Don’t stop.”
A low, lion-like growl escaped from him.
She whimpered. Hungry for him, her body taut with urgency, she drove her tongue into his mouth, tasting him in the same way she wanted to be explored and tasted. She loosened his belt and worked at the metal buttons on his Levis. She slipped her hand down inside his boxers and found his cock, as large and hard as she’d expected, as it sprang free of the nest of curls and into her hand. She fondled him, delicately stroking him and playing with the tip, knowing from the way he writhed that he couldn’t resist her.
Suddenly she felt as powerful as she had standing at the pole that first time she’d danced to him.
“Oh, God, Karin. Magnificent Karin with her HK in hand.” He feathered her face and neck with kisses, moaning with pleasure at her touch. His hands fumbled at the button and zipper to her jeans.
She heard the whisper of the zipper as it slid down, and she reached to help him free her buttocks and sex. “Touch me. I want you to touch me there. Rub me here,” she whispered into his mouth as she guided his hand to her clit and set it in emotion while she lifted her hips so her mons pressed hard against his palm as she melted into his body.
“Are you sure you won’t be sorry about this tomorrow, Agent Woodhall?” His voice was rough from excitement.
“Maybe, but tonight it feels too good to forego, Agent Santini.”
