REVIEWS for The Blonde Bomb Tech

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!" —Kerin, Two Lips Reviews

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." —Becky, Fallen Angel Reviews

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." —D. D. Blackman, Romance Divas

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." —Suni Farrar, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

4 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, Joyfully Reviewed

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.
