Full Disclosure Tour Stop!

Deputy United States Marshal Mitch Knox apprehends fugitives for a living. His calm, cool, collected attitude and devastatingly handsome good looks earn him a well-deserved bad boy reputation, both in the field and out. While away on an assignment, he blows off some steam at a notorious Dallas nightclub. Solving the case that has plagued him for months takes a sudden backseat to finding out all there is to know about the gorgeous, shy blond sitting alone at the bar.

Texas State Trooper Cody Turner is moving up the ranks, well on his way to his dream of being a Texas Ranger. While on a two-week mandatory vacation, he plans to relax and help out on his family’s farm. Mitch is the last distraction Cody needs, but the tatted up temptation that walks into the bar and steals his baseball cap is too hard to ignore.

As Mitch’s case gains nationwide attention, how will he convince the sexy state trooper that giving him a chance won’t jeopardize his life’s plan...especially when the evil he’s tracking brings the hate directly to his doorstep, threatening more than just their careers.

This is my second Kindle Alexander read and the breadth of her talent amazes me. My first read was Always which is such a deep and emotional read that I still choke up if I think about it too long. While there is plenty of emotion in Full Disclosure, there is also a lot of action and intrigue that kept me glued to it. Not many authors can swing from a cathartically emotional romance to a romantic suspense so seamlessly. Yet Ms. Alexander has done exactly that.

Not surprisingly, I loved Mitch. His whole in-your-face attitude made for some entertaining scenes. The fact that he was out at work and there were no indications that it was an issue made my heart smile. Add to that his sexy body and hot tattoos, in a word … YUM! Then of course, our sweet cowboy Cody is a guaranteed crush from the beginning. The chemistry between Mitch and Cody oozed from my Kindle and my mind was in heaven imagining these two hotties together – all that muscle … delicious. I loved how Mitch was determined to make Cody his and willing to do whatever he had to in order to make it happen.

Not having read Double Full first, I read this hoping it would be the stand-alone read I had been told. Full Disclosure does stand on its own and I had no issue following the storyline. If anything, the references made regarding the first book only increased my desire to go back and read it. The author creates such interesting characters and keeps the story moving so well that I was swept up into it, reaching the end far sooner than I was ready for. Hopefully Ms. Alexander won’t wait too long to put us out of our misery and will release book three in early 2015. In the meantime, I can take comfort in the fact that I can go back a read Colt and Jace’s story.

P.S. – I just have to say that I LOVE the cover. I got to look at an enlarged version of it and was able to take a close look at Mitch’s tattoos – they are AWESOME!!!
Wow this was such an amazing read! I have loved every book Ms. Alexander has written so far and this book was just as good as the others.  One of the things I love is the way Ms. Alexander lets the reader completely bond and become the characters in her book.  She switches the POV between her two heroes and it allows the reader to become just as emotionally invested in the relationship as the characters. 

Mitch is a big, strong and bold Deputy US Marshal.  He sees what he wants and goes after it, but tends to keep things of the heart at arm’s length.  Cody is an up and coming Texas State Trooper and is incredibly shy and dedicated to his job and family.  These two men meet and can’t ignore the attraction between them.  It is very fulfilling to watch these two men bond and work together on their relationship even through the bumps and scares. 

This was the second book in Ms. Alexander’s Nice Guys series and it was fun to see Jace and Colt return from the first book.  We had a short little introduction to the couple it looks like the third book is going to revolve around and I can’t wait to read their story!  This was an amazing story that was the perfect balance of length, drama, romance and intimacy.

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.
