Genre: Romance - Suspense, Enemies-to Lovers, ComedyStand-Alone: YesPart of a Series: NoPOV: Tessa and AlexSteam Level: Kindle Melting Hot5/5Loaded is/was the only (Romance) book of Roxie Noir's that I didn't own/haven't read. When I found out that she was editing/adding to it I jumped at the chance to read it and I'm so glad that I did. Loaded was fun, sexy, and thrilling. It's the story of Tessa and Alex who fall for each other in the most extreme circumstances.Tessa is my favorite type of heroine. She's smart and sassy and keep Alex on his toes. Alex is a sexy alpha-male who will stop at nothing to protect her. Violent in life but not to her, never to her. He also doesn't like violence against women. He has to take a stance on something in his killed or be killed world. Tessa and Alex's story is boiling hot and emotional. They learn to judge a book by its contents, not cover.If you haven't read Roxie Noir and love hard core sex and foul mouthed characters who cannot keep their hands off of each other - even when running for their lives then Loaded is definitely a book to pick up. It's a great mix of story, suspense, steam and sass with a guaranteed HEA.

Oh my Heart!!! This read was so damn good, good, good!!! Before I continue, I just have to tell you that I simply just fell in love with the main male character, Alejandro Villalobos. If you haven't guessed by now, the title of my review is the translation of his name.He is written to be as dirty, bad and hot as sin. He does the unthinkable to defend the woman his criminal organization told him to drug and kidnap. He is as cagey, intelligent and alluring as an Alpha Wolf. And all the ways he shows his desire...well it is enough to make a good girl turn bad.Tessa is an educated, beautiful and feisty woman. She was just made to order for Alejandro (Alex). She tears herself inside out over her unfailing and continuing attraction to such a violent man because he fulfills her every sexual need not merely her want.The reader will find this book to be extremely well-written. The writing draws you into each of the main characters' POV. One POV picks up from the other, continuing the story as the POV changes. Even though the reader has the omniscient viewpoint, there are twists and turns in the storyline that surprise the reader. These surprises make the story all the more interesting...even more plausible.I personally love the writing of Roxie Noir. I look forward to her books as they are released. She only gets better and better. She has an unique style when writing mind-blowing erotica in her romances...super, salivatingly hot, hawt, hot!!!I wondered a little about the title, "Loaded". There are a number of denotations and connotations that can be referenced to the word, "loaded" in this story. My favorite is from the beginning, Alex was a "loaded" question in Tessa's mind...even more so, in the mind of the reader.One-click to find out how the loaded question is answered. You will be delighted!!!

Tessa is at a friend's wedding when she meets the one of the sexiest men she has ever seen, Alex. After hours of playful flirting, and a little something extra, Tessa realizes that her lucky night was a set up. Alex was told to abduct Tessa, then hand her off to a colleague. However, the plan was destined to fail the moment Alex saw Tessa's picture the day before. Since meeting her, nothing goes as he plans and he's not acting like himself. And when Alex has to make a choice between Tessa and his brothers, the pair end up in a race against time to save themselves from certain death.Loaded is an enemies to lovers romance with action and humor. Both leads are strong and spirited. Their banter/camaraderie is playful and flirty. The are better together than apart, truly connected. They bring out the best and worst in each other, and they are okay with that because they love each other flaws and all.I bought Loaded when it was first released and really enjoyed. When Roxie offered the opportunity to read the new version, I gladly did so. I like the changes and think she gave Alex and Tessa the ending they deserved. I did receive an ARC copy, but enjoyed the book so much that I bought copy to support Roxie and all her hard work.

Loved it! This is a fantastic read - compelling and complicated. I really enjoyed reading it. This romance story is about Alex and Tessa. Loaded is dramatic, suspenseful, sexy, complicated and a fast paced read. Alex has been given the job of kidnapping Tessa - her father was the accountant for a mob boss, Manny. He knows Tessa's father plans to talk with the Feds so Tessa's dad goes in hiding. To bring him out they want to use Tessa as leverage. Alex is supposed to spike her drink at a wedding and throw her in a van let the associates take her to a safe house. Things do not quite go according to plan. Tessa is a fireball, who has no problem keeping Alex on his toes. An exciting read I couldn't put down.
