Enjoyed it, great H/h but did not like the ending. Story was very short though and would have liked a longer one with a better ending.

Review by: beesmash on Aug. 25, 2011 :
I was disappointed with this book. Ms. Tabke introduces two great characters -- Olivia and Vaden. We learned a bit about Olivia. I wish we could have learned more about Vaden.
The story has two hot sex scenes. However, you may get the same reaction I did when I got to the end. Who did Olivia wrong? What change Vaden's mind about Olivia? What is in Vaden's past to make him the way he is?

If you want to read two hot sex scenes, this is for you for the right price. I got it for 50 off $1.99. Hopefully, Ms. Tabke gives us tidbits about these two if she ever uses these characters again.

Review by: Melissa Kammer on Aug. 24, 2011 :
Olivia Connor always plays it safe, but since her husband died she has been considering her options. She wants to explore her wild side in both her private and professional life. She finds the perfect lover, and she knows that with Vaden there are no strings attached. Is she ready to jump completely in? Is she capable of just having a little fun without her heart becoming involved?

Vaden Holbrook lives on the wild side with no regrets. He pushes boundaries even in his job on the police force. He has quite a reputation for loving and leaving, but Olivia has him pausing. When he sees her with another man, he acts without thinking. Is he ready to jump into a relationship? Is it even possible for a woman to capture his heart?

Karin Tabke sends libidos racing with her short sexy romance. Olivia needs to loosen up, and unbelievable sex with Vaden is heading her in the right direction, but she wants more. Vaden enjoys unleashing Olivia's passion, but for him it is just fun and games. Olivia and Vaden certainly make this a hot and steamy read. Ms. Tabke pens more than just a tantalizing tumble through the sheets. She offers her readers a glimpse into two lives that are on the verge of an important revelation. However, while basking in the afterglow of some sinfully savory scenes, I realized that not all of the loose ends had been tied up. Perhaps we will see these two again or perhaps not. BAD TO THE BONE delivers a short and sweet story spiced with undeniably hot sex and tempered with an emotional element that will leave you breathless.

Review by: Artemis on May 03, 2011 :
A short, spicy, hot-cop, sexy read -- Karin Tabke doesn't disappoint. With less than 40 pages, Ms. Tabke takes the story full course and delivers two dynamic characters worth caring about. Bravo!

Wow! This story is HOT!! I absolutely ADORE Vaden - total yummy alpha. And chapter 1 - Oh.My.Gawd. be still my heart. I love all of Karin's stuff - she REALLY knows how to write sexy! And how wonderful to see her self-publishing - I love it that great stories like this are available for $2.99! Seriously, Bad To the Bone is WELL worth the couple bucks it costs. I've already read it like 3 or 4 times =D
