He let her go once. This time he’s playing for keeps. 

Callie Colter once chased sunsets all over the world. Until Max. Together they were a perfect storm of desire, and she reveled in the beautiful burn. Then he disappeared, and the betrayal drove her home to lick her wounds.   

Who knew he’d have the gall to show his face in her brother’s bar.   

Max Wilder figures he deserves Callie’s right hook to the jaw, but it changes nothing. He had his reasons for pursuing her across Europe, for making her fall in love with him. But when she took everything he gave and offered more, she changed all the rules. He had no choice in leaving her, but he’s back. This time for the right reasons.   

Callie is angry and hurt, yet powerless against Max’s relentless onslaught. He’ll settle for nothing less than her complete surrender—and her love. Only when she’s back in his arms will he be truly happy. And the damning truth can stay safely tucked away.   

Except the truth has a way of creeping to the surface, and now Max is out of second chances.   

Warning: This title contains adult language, explicit sex, rough sex, anal sex. In other words...sex! Also contains themes of D/s which might offend some readers.  Lots of angst, emotion and betrayal. Second chances and lots of warm fuzzies.

First Line(s): The Mountain Pass Bar and Grill was hopping like frogs during mating season.

Favorite ( funny) Quote(s): “How do you maybe hit someone?” Michael drawled.

“Okay, so I decked him. At the time he deserved it.”

My Review: Well, this book is nothing like the prior two books in the series!
I mean the Colter Family hasn't changed but their sweet daughter is nothing like her fathers or brothers.


Callie is fierce and loyal, two traits that suit her well! I enjoyed reading her story and her sass!


Maya Banks takes us on quite a roller coaster ride with Callie and Max. Full of ups and downs and plenty of twists. Colters Daughter shows us that everyone makes mistakes and if we really try we can come back from those mistakes and make things just as good if not better than before.


You can't go wrong with Maya Banks.... a gem to us book lovers/bloggers!

My Rating:

Until next time... Happy Reading!

Colters' Lady by Maya Banks { Review}

Colters' Lady

{ Colters' Legacy #2}

by Maya Banks

ebook, 199 pages

Published June 1st 2010 by Samhain (first published May 29th 2010)

Can their love give her the strength to overcome the tragedy in her past?

Colters' Legacy, Book 2


When police officer Seth Colter sees the delicate, shabbily dressed beauty in line at the soup kitchen where he's serving, he's gut shot over the idea of her being on the streets cold and alone. More baffling is the dark, possessive instinct that tells him she belongs to him.


For Lily Weston, home is a secluded nook in a back alley until Seth offers her a place to stay. She's wary of his offer, but even one night out of the cold is too much temptation to resist.


Seth is convinced Lily is his. The problem is, when his brothers lay eyes on her, the same primitive instinct comes roaring to the surface. The Colters never imagined they'd follow the unconventional path of their fathers, but they can't ignore their mutual need to offer Lily their protection and their love. But before Lily and the brothers can forge a future together, they must heal the deep wounds of her past.


Warning, this title contains the following: explicit sex, graphic language, multiple partners, menage a quatre, violence.

First Line(s): Seth Colter walked into the soup kitchen and was greeted by a chorus of hellos from several police officers from his precinct.


Favorite Quote: “I’m having my own set of what-the-hell-is-going-on thoughts,” he said honestly. “But I’m not going to fight it, whatever it is between us. From the moment I saw you, I knew you were going to be a part of me. A big part of me. I don’t understand it, but I’m not going to fight it. I don’t want to fight it.”

My Review: You have to go into Colters Lady ( any of the Colters' Legacy books really) open minded. This family is far from the norm and if you go in with anything but an open mind you will most likely have a hard time not only getting into the story line but liking it.


With that said I am extremely open in the books I read ( sometimes to a fault, we will discuss this at a later time), so I enjoyed reading Colters' Lady very much. I would think it is hard enough to write about a "normal" relationship let alone one that has 4 people involved in it, but I believe Maya Banks does it very well. It doesn't seem forced or awkward reading about how Lily and the Colter brothers met and how they fall for each other and try to make it work.


Maya Banks could have stopped there... a book about a girl who loves 3 brothers but she gives this book much more depth. So much that I found myself tearing up at certain parts. That takes true talent.... steamy sex scenes one moment and the next your strings to your heart are being pulled big time. Yet that is what Maya Banks gives us in Colters Lady.


What a great book!
