CADE: A MacKenzie Novel (Romantic Suspense) (The MacKenzie Family) [Kindle Edition]

Liliana Hart (Author)

Book Description

Cade MacKenzie is prepared to give his life to destroy the cartel that killed his lover, but the only way to draw them out is to present them with the perfect bait.

Bayleigh Scott has no idea who her new neighbor is, only that her body is drawn to him in ways she can’t explain, and the danger that surrounds him isn’t the deterrent she knows it should be.

More than fireworks explode between Cade and Bayleigh when she discovers the real reason he relentlessly pursued her, but by then it’s too late, because she’s already been drawn into a deadly game of desire, deception and revenge.

About the Author

Liliana Hart spent five years teaching music in the public education system. She molded America’s youth, busted kids for smoking pot in the restrooms, and broke up illicit affairs behind the stage on a regular basis, so she finally decided to hang up her hat and let someone else have all the fun. (Liliana’s Addison Holmes Mystery Series, about a small town teacher who gets into a whole lot of trouble, is somewhat autobiographical, but she won’t confess to which parts). Liliana began reading romance novels with all her new found free time, and when she ran out of things to read, she decided to write her own novels. The result was a 150,000 word thriller--a dazzling adventure--where the heroine was a thirty-year-old virgin assassin (Yes, you read that right). She couldn’t imagine why people weren’t knocking down her door to read it, but she persevered and began writing a second book. She finally got the hang of things, and eventually learned that losing one’s virginity wasn’t all that romantic after all. All of her books involve some kind of suspense (she just can't help herself), laughter, and a lot of steamy sex. Since the failure of her first attempt, Liliana’s books have won awards such as: The Daphne Du Maurier, The Suzannah, The Linda Howard Award of Excellence, The Maggie, and many others. Her affiliations include Romance Writers of America and Mystery Writers of America. Liliana loves to cook, and is addicted to reading, Internet Boggle, kickboxing, and Bones. She lives in a big, rambling house in Texas with a couple of cats to keep her company. She loves to get emails from readers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cade By Liliana Hart February 28, 2012

By Ellie

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

First just let me say I discovered this author by accident while I was searching for "Freebies" and stumbled on her Christmas book All I Want For Christmas and was Instantly hooked. I absolutely loved Cade. One of the first times I heard about him was in his cousins book Cooper and I wanted to know more about this Straight Shooter, Take No Prisoners Guy, so I snapped up every Mackenzie Family book I could find. If you buy this book you will not be disappointed. I couldn't put it down, that's how great it is. I cannot wait for future books about his equally gorgeous brothers and their sister.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cade February 28, 2012

By Bridgett

Format:Kindle Edition

We received our first glimpse of Cade in Liliana's book Cooper. She gave us just enough on him to make us curious. Then low & behold, he has his own book. Holy smokes is it hot! I loved all the characters. Cade is hot, dominate and all man. But he has scarred soul. Then there is Bayleigh. She has put up with dominate men all her life...meaning loving alpha brothers. The chemistry between Cade (with his scarred soul) and Bayleigh (with her no self confidence) is immediate. I really enjoyed this book. It was a great read. I definitely recommend this book and any other Liliana Hart read. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cade is a dirty talking sexy as sin alpha male hero July 13, 2012

By capri

Format:Kindle Edition

Liliana Hart knows how to write those yummy alpha male heroes I love. If you like Lora Leigh with strong Alpha Males and good story lines then you will like Cade.

Cade starts of intense with his lover getting murdered right in front of him by her own father. Cade was undercover with the Drug Cartel and fell in love with the Big Guys daughter and daddy found out. Cade was rescued but his family did not make it in time to save her. Now he is going under cover with the DEA or cops to make himself bait and bring the Drug Cartel to him so he can get his revenge for her death.

Cade is a brooding, sexy as sin uber Alpha male hero. He has been dead inside ever since that awful day he lost his lover. Because of this night, Cade has never been in a serious relationship and will only take a lover when he gets an itch. He is afraid he will bring danger to them. Until he meets his mouthy neighbor, Bayleigh for the first time and she gets under his skin in a sexual way. He starts showing interest in Bayleigh and realizes he can not stay away. He knows now he has to have her, but if he has her then the Drug Cartel will know she is his weakness and they will kill her and not him. Because he can not stay away from her, he decides to keep her safe is for her to stay with him.

The sexual chemistry with Cade and Bayleigh was scorching. I loved how they did not sleep together right away. Cade is a sexy arrogant hero.

"I'm looking forward to kissing you again, Bayleigh Scott," he said, heading back to his motorcycle. "Though I have a feeling we'll both be naked and heating up the sheets when the next time comes. And I'll make sure to bring the handcuffs."

Cade is a wicked lover who loves to talk dirty.... The sex scenes are erotic and well done with very light BDSM and has back door activity. OMG...There are many scorching sex scenes but the one that I love the most was with a silk scarf and her own stockings.

Cade and Bayleigh first encounter is awesome with his truck and his keys. Do not want to give any spoilers but just know she is not your damsel in distress heroine, she has 2 alpha male brothers so she knows how to hold her own. Bayleigh rocks, she can be a smartass at times. Love it.

I am so excited I found another author who writes a good erotic novel with a sexy, dominate, possessive, Alpha male hero. Bonus that the heroine was feisty, smart mouth and did not take any crap from the hero. Highly recommend Cade if have the same interest.

3.0 out of 5 stars Makes a quick read May 18, 2012

By Succotash

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a fast paced read, so if you have a few hours, this is easily read. While all the characters are likable - for the main character to be a little repressed she sure gives it up quick to the neighborhood stud (even grannys are hot for him LOL). While the story line was fine, I sincerely hated the epilogue. It just didn't fit. This is the first time I've read this author.

This book was full of lust and sex, it would give Fifty Shades of Grey a run for the money. Not much to the plot, just a quick mindless read.

5.0 out of 5 stars a fantastic read, made me sit on edge all the way..... October 10, 2012

Gee asked a friend to recommend me some books, and boy was she right. Cade is HOT HOT HOT....its a good story and I love the humour and friendship they have going on......the Sex is unbelievable in this book, written well, which had me squirming all the way through it. I wish the author can right a follow up on these two characters, as I didn't want it to end......she gave as good as she got, and kept him on his toes.....HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE LADIES, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED, I HAVE READ OVER 25 NOVELS IN TWO WEEKS ON KINDLE, AND I DIDN'T WANT THIS ONE TO END............PLEASE PLEASE RIGHT ANOTHER NOVEL EXTENDING THESE CHARACTERS....I'M SURE THERE'S A LOT OF WOMEN WHO WOULD AGREE WITH ME. I also loved the fact that his brothers were always around keeping a close eye on him....20 out of 10!!!

25 THINGS ABOUT ME!


1.) I have a Coke first thing every morning instead of coffee.

2.) I try to read at least one book a day (when I'm not on deadline), sometimes two or three if I have the itch. Reading is one of my greatest pleasures.

3.) I decided to be a writer my freshman year of college. Which, of course, is why I majored in music and art history.

4.) My husband is my best friend. I never get tired of hanging out with him.

5.) I started writing my first book when I was eighteen. It was about a 30-year-old virgin assassin. Yes, you read that right. It's buried in the far corner of my closet.

6.) I didn't complete my first book until I was twenty-five, but I've written nineteen books since then. I'm 32.

7.) I love being a writer. It gives me an excuse to think about different ways to kill people and to take weird vacations for the tax deductions.

8.) I could eat macaroni and cheese every day. I love it! But my hips do not.

9.) I'm very slow to make new friends. I'm a pretty solitary person, so when you see me at booksignings and conventions, I'm completely out of my comfort zone, which is why it's so nice when I have readers come up and talk to me like they already know me. It puts me at ease.

10.) I have four children. Two girls and two boys, various ages. My house is a zoo. It's a miracle I ever get one word on the page.

11.) I met my husband when I was 14. We were high school sweethearts.

12.) I love to travel. I'm perfectly content to wake up on random mornings and say, "Let's go here today." In fact, I do that frequently. There are still so many places I'd love to see. We went to Costa Rica this summer and Scotland is in the cards for next summer.

13.) I spent a summer in Ireland when I was in college with a random family I'd never met or spoken to before. It was one of the bravest and most adventurous things I've done. A great experience.

14.) I hated high school. If I could go back and do it over I'd try to graduate early and get the heck out of there.

15.) I've gotten pregnant twice while on birth control pills.

16.) I performed at Carnegie Hall when I was in college, and toured Europe with a percussion ensemble one summer.

17.) I spent four years in college majoring in Percussion. It is now completely useless since I'm writing books full time, but it does give me an advantage when playing Rock Band.

18.) I'm addicted to gaming. When I take vacation, a good part of the time goes to Dragon Age.

19.) The cleanest place I've ever been is Switzerland.

20.) I eloped in Las Vegas and don't regret one minute of it. We've been married 12 years.

21.) Purple is my favorite color. Go Frogs! (TCU alum)

22.) I love a good mystery.

23.) I've had impacted wisdom teeth for years, but I can't seem to stop getting pregnant long enough to get them taken out.

24.) The Keurig is the best invention known to man. I love my English breakfast tea.

25.) I like to sit down in the shower. I'll often stick my Kindle in a plastic bag and read in there for an hour.
