4.5 Stars: "This is an exceptional,
action-filled story that takes off with a bang right from the start. A
first-rate mystery; a tortured, yet strong heroine; and a hero who is not too
perfect will leave readers unable to put this book down. Included are some
nicely developed secondary characters and the ending is very well done and
satisfying." —Romantic

5 Kisses: "The connection
between Sabrina and Jake is so intense
that it jumps off of the pages and
practically grabs a hold of your naughty
bits and sets them afire. Sabrina’s
brazenness is exciting as is Jake’s
immediate reaction. The fact that Jake’s
such a gentleman only made the scenes
hotter as Sabrina took what she needed
that he willingly gave her. I challenge
any woman (and many men) to not fall
completely in love with Jake by the end of
this book. He is the epitome of honor,
trust, faith, and super-hot calendar
pin-up, all rolled into one.
The Blonde Bomb Tech is packed full of intrigue and
suspense that had me poised on the edge of
my seat during the entire reading. I was
so engrossed in this latest release from
Lara Santiago that I found myself reading
it from cover to cover in one sitting, not
even noticing the passing of time. The
Blonde Bomb Tech is a definite must-read
that you'll want to find room for on your
keeper shelf!"

5 Angels: "The Blonde Bomb
Tech by Lara Santiago is an erotic
suspense that keeps you on the edge of
your seat, page after page. You can’t put
the book down, the danger and love in this
story keeps you involved until the end.
Sabrina Donavan doesn’t like men; her past
has jaded her against them. I love how she
meets Jake in this story. Ms. Santiago not
only writes a great dangerous story, but
her erotic scenes sizzle right off the
pages. I enjoyed the power struggle
between these two, I couldn’t get enough.
The ending is something any reader will
enjoy. Thanks you Ms. Santiago for this
great story, I’m certainly a big fan. I
can’t wait to see more."

5 Kisses: "From page one the
countdown began. The Blond Bomb Tech
kept the pages turning for me. The
intense heat from these characters burned
right through the page. Although they fell
in love rather quickly, it was a deep and
sincere love. Sometimes love will do that
for you. This story is fully charged and
had me ignoring people so that I could
finish it. Don’t deny yourself this
reading pleasure; pick up this book. You
won’t be sorry."

4.5 Stars: "The Blonde Bomb
Tech has a cast of characters that
kept me turning the pages in order to dive
more deeply into their lives. Sabrina's
character is absolutely fabulous. It is
not often that she relaxes enough in
someone's presence to reveal her soft
mushy side. However, for some reason Jake
brought that side out of her. Reading of
how Jake comforts Sabrina in her time of
need gets me all sentimental. Even the
sub-characters and villains are
interesting. The plot turned many times
causing my eyes to stay glued to the
screen. Jake and Sabrina spend a lot of
time expressing their feelings for each
other through intercourse. Personally, I
think this a great idea on the part of
Lara Santiago. The combination of sex and
climatic drama brought adrenaline into my
system at a rapid pace. I found The
Blonde Bomb Tech highly entertaining
and a definite fast read. Ms. Santiago
weaves a fantastic tale. Bravo."

Cups: "This is a totally
engrossing novel from the first exciting
scene. Sabrina is far from the ice
princess that she presents to the world,
but few see her softer side. Being raised
in an orphanage, then dumped by her fiancé
when he learned she might not have
children, she learned to hide her
feelings. Jake is warm and strong, and it
is a good thing he is stubborn because he
needs to be with Sabrina. Sabrina's sister
Suzanne, adopted as an infant, was luckier
than Sabrina; in her you can see who
Sabrina could have been, given better
circumstances. But this reader would not
change her; her difficulties give her her
strengths. This story is full of suspense
and unexpected twists and turns, and the
bomber is truly evil. This is a great
story!" —Maura,
Coffee Time Romance
"The Blonde Bomb Tech
is a character driven story. It is
fast paced, which adds to the excitement.
The romance is hot, and the way that Jake
treats Sabrina is fantastic. Jake is the
typical Alpha male, with a heart of gold,
and Sabrina is a strong character. The way
she is confident in her work, she knows
what she wants and she goes after it. It
is also lovely to see the flip side to
Sabrina, her emotional side, her
legitimate fears and insecurities. I
applauded Lara Santiago for making Sabrina
and Jake so realistic and so believable.
Because I think every person can see a
little of themselves in either Sabrina or
Jake. I loved The Blonde Bomb Tech;
I wish it had been longer so I didn't have
to finish it so soon. I would be the first
in line if Lara decided she wanted to
write this book as part of a series. The
secondary characters are all solid and
could easily be further developed, plus we
would get to see a glimpse of Sabrina and
Jake. I adored The Blonde Bomb Tech.
The story and the sex are both hot. When
can I get more?" —Vanessa
Costa, Romance Reviews Today
"The Blonde Bomb Tech
is a well-paced intense story of cat
and mouse between Sabrina and the bomber
with the addition of sexy Jake to change
Sabrina’s focus to a personal life she had
been missing. Lara Santiago’s creative
thriller brings to attention the real life
dangerous jobs and the people who do them.
An excellent read I really enjoyed." —Rosemary,

EXCERPT
Sabrina’s entire body shook as glass and flying debris
flew into the air from the detonation. The bomb she’d been
working on had gone off. The ensuing explosion ripped through
the quiet summer morning. She was the bomb technician. She was
supposed to have stopped the bomb, but it had blown despite
her best effort. How could that have happened?
With no answer forthcoming from the assembled emergency teams
cowering down around her, Sabrina panicked.
The bomb nightmares she’d had for most of her life flew
through her mind. Then she lost complete control of
herself…which never happened, either. Not ever.
“Oh, no! No!” Sabrina sobbed hysterically into the crisp,
clean collar of the fireman who covered her body protectively
with his own.
The thought of someone having to protect her from the bomb
she’d failed to stop made her cry harder. She heard herself
babble nonsensically as she turned her face into the fireman’s
rough, whiskered cheek. He smelled safe and good. She needed
to check out for a few minutes to get herself together.
Sighing, Sabrina burrowed her cheek further into his throat
scented with a musky cologne. Her lips connected with his skin
as she inhaled his delectable scent. Her senses reeled as she
clung to him. In her trance-like, panicked state, he was her
only lifeline. She tasted the salt of her own tears.
“Shh, don’t cry. It’ll be okay, I promise,” the man holding
her said, his voice honey-smooth. His breath tickled the loose
hair next to her ear when he spoke. Booming noises continued
to burst from the building. The comforting words from him
intruded into her consciousness. She opened her eyes and was
surprised to find her mouth still pressed to his neck, her
lips rubbing sensuously along the male skin. Her fisted hands
clutched both sides of his open jacket, securing him in place.
She wanted him to say something else in that seductive voice.
