Chain Reaction: History, paranormal and romance all wrapped into one awesome story
He gets himself involved with the mysterious Phenom League, a group of misfits freaks that have similar abilities to Pierce. Chain Reaction has many exciting events that take place and honestly speaking it really surprised me. Reading the synopsis, I wasn't really sure what to expect from the story as a whole. It's really a story like any other that I have read, it has history, paranormal and romance all wrapped into one awesome story line.
I really liked how this book was from a male's perspective, it's not something I normally read but I loved how descriptive it was. Chain Reactive is the first in the Phenom League series and I look forward to reading more. This book was really exciting to read and you can tell that there is just so much history involved and so much research that had to be put forth. I'm really glad that I got the opportunity to read and review this book. Thank you so much T. C. Archer for providing me a copy of this book and I look forward to reading and reviewing your other works as well!

Chain Reaction Top Pick & Recommended Read at ARe
Former Chicago detective Pierce Jordan now works as head of security for the top-secret military organization CP-1 during World War II, secretly headquartered at the University of Chicago. Scientists at the facility work day and night on the formula to build the atomic bomb. When one of the scientists is found murdered in his office, the general in charge demands that the police not be alerted, as he plans to have the matter handled in-house.
Pierce has a secret of his own. Eight months earlier he was attacked in an alley and is now a vampire, though he does not completely understand what is wrong with him. In addition to now craving blood (though he typically satisfies his hunger with rats), Pierce also has to deal with his overwhelming attraction to Gladys, a scientist. Despite his fascination with her, Pierce suspects that Gladys may be up to more than just her job.
This fast-paced, engaging story reads like a suspense/spy novel with a hefty dose of the paranormal thrown in. The historical setting lends an air of believability, and readers will root for the very likable Pierce as he seeks to understand his place in the world in spite of the change in his circumstances that remain somewhat of a mystery to him. The first in a new series, The Phenom League, Chain Reaction should please urban fantasy fans.

“When do you expect the new mechanic?” he asked, eyes fixed on the photo. “I want to start testing the new Yates engine we bought for Daytona.”
“We’ve already started.”
Rex jerked his attention back to Duff. “You know I like to be around from day one. Emerson would have called.”
“Rex, you need to know Jimmy is—”
“I haven’t even met this guy and you’ve got him working on my car. Since when?”
“Since Wednesday. Look, there’s something—”
“Four days? I want to see what he’s done.” Rex tossed the photo onto Duff’s desk and turned.
“Rex—” Duff jumped to his feet and started around the desk. The phone rang and he cursed.
“Rex,” he called as he grabbed the phone. “Winston. Yeah, I got the pictures. In fact—”
Rex took a left out the office door and strode past Emerson’s office, then past the office of the new accountant, Gary Blackeagle. The last office belonged to Brent Douglas, the guy who’d had Rex’s job for six years before he got caught with his pants down and a barely legal aged girl jammed between him and his locker.
Rex pushed open the door to the garage and stepped onto freshly waxed concrete. Despite last year’s sting, his heart raced as it always did at the start of the season when he first laid eyes on the immaculate eight thousand square-foot garage.
A dozen red, five-foot-tall toolboxes stood guard beside the uncluttered workbenches that lined the cinderblock walls. No. 14 sat in the first assembly area on the right, awaiting paint and window netting. Rex slid his gaze along the trunk and over the top of the car. The new Chevy was his ticket to owning a crew next season.
He started forward, then halted when a shapely figure in powder blue coveralls shifted into view. She bent over the engine like a real mechanic. What idiot had left his girlfriend to roam the garage alone? Rex dropped his gaze from the red ponytail to the feminine undercarriage on her fine frame and angled his head to get a better look. He couldn’t see her face, but judging by her body, her boyfriend had taste.
She pressed against the fender and in closer to the engine, straddling the front tire like Daisy Duke at her finest. Ouch! The fabric of the coveralls stretched across the lovely curves of her buttocks, complete with bikini brief panty lines. Rex shook off an unexpected need to hook a finger under those panties.
He crept to the car with panther-like stealth. She hadn’t emerged from the open hood when he leaned a hip against the fender beside her and drawled, “What fool left you alone in my garage, darlin’?” She stilled, and he ran his gaze the length of her five foot four body, then back to her taut rear end. He laughed softly. “You better come out before you get dirty.” Rex shifted his attention to the sparkplug wire she gripped. He straightened in shocked anger. “What the hell are you doing to my car?”
He seized her arm as she started to straighten and yanked her from under the hood. Her head struck the hood with a thunk. She gasped and Rex released her.
“Ouch!” Her hand flew to the top of her head and vigorously massaged the spot. “Why did you do that?”
“No one screws with my—”
She jerked her head around and Rex’s mouth went dry when his gaze met gorgeous brown eyes tinged with fury.
“That hurt!” She shoved back a lock of hair that had fallen loose from her ponytail and glared at him.
Those were the eyes a cowboy found only in a dream—and in midnight encounters in front of a wood-burning fire.
The sprinkling of pale freckles across her cheeks scrunched up when she wrinkled her nose. Her eyes narrowed. “Here, hot-shot.” She shoved the sparkplug wire into his chest. “You put the plug wires on. You know the firing order of your Chevy V-8?”
Rex raised a brow. “As a matter of fact—”
“Let me get you started,” she snapped as she gave her head another vigorous rub, “one, five, two, eight…”
“Look,” Rex retorted, “no one touches—” A hand clamped down on his shoulder and he whirled to find Duff standing behind him.
“I see you’ve met Jimmy James, our new mechanic,” Duff said.
Rex stared at the buxom figure, then faced Duff. “Mechanic? What the hell were you thinking? Even in those coveralls she doesn’t look like a mechanic. She looks like a…like a…hell, like she belongs on Sex in the City.”
“Hey!” she exclaimed.
“Her qualifications are top notch,” Duff interrupted.
“Why didn’t you just paint her on the hood hugging the damn Cozy fabric softener rabbit?” Rex shot back. “That’d get Cozy to renew their sponsorship for the next ten years.” He pictured her, sheet thrown across breasts and hips, one leg sprawled over the rabbit’s belly. “We’ll get nothing done with her around,” he added tightly.
“Winston doesn’t concur.” Duff turned Rex to face Jimmy. “Jimmy, this is your driver, Rex Henderson.”
“I know who he is.” The lock of hair had fallen across her eye again. She jammed it behind an ear. “You ought to keep him in his cage.”
Duff chuckled. Rex gave him a thin-lipped scowl, then leaned against the car and crossed his arms over his chest. Jimmy flicked him a withering glare. His groin pulsed.
He ran his gaze down her body before meeting her fiery brown eyes again. “Only if you’ll be my cage-mate.”
She drew a sharp breath and a camera flash lit the garage behind Rex. He whirled in time to catch a second flash in the eyes. Spots raced across his vision, but he made out the figure straightening from a crouch behind a workbench near the side door. The man lifted the camera to his eye and Rex jammed his eyes shut an instant before the flash penetrated his eyelids.
Rex snapped open his eyes and started for the paparazzo. “I’m going to kick your ass!”
The man pivoted toward the side door.
Rex accelerated to a sprint with Duff close behind.
The photographer bolted through the door. “Sex in the City!” He laughed, adding before the door
banged shut behind him, “Cage-mates.”
Rex slammed into the door a second later and flung it open as the photographer dove into the passenger seat of a beat up blue Subaru. Rex hit the asphalt at a sprint as the car leaped into gear, passenger door ajar. Rex picked up speed. The Subaru slowed at the end of the building and Rex thought he had him, but the car rounded the corner and accelerated toward the open gate at the entrance.
Dammit. During the off-season, no guard manned the front gate. Rex cursed again and picked up speed. The paparazzo had probably followed him onto the property. He should have closed the security gate after he entered.
The car leaped over the parking lot speed bump and hit the street, tires squealing as it hung a right and zoomed away. Rex slowed and stopped at the curb. The blue compact had reached the end of the block and took a hard left toward the freeway. Damn. He didn’t get the license number.
Duff halted next to him, breathing hard.
Rex glared at him. “What do you say now, Duff?”
Duff’s gaze locked on the direction the car had taken. “I say all of Dallas will know what Howard Motors has up its sleeve by tomorrow morning, the rest of the world by supper time.”
Inside the garage, an engine starter whined. Rex turned toward the garage and stared as the engine caught, followed by the roar of exhaust when Jimmy pumped the accelerator in short, quick stabs.

SFR Presents: Trouble at the Hotel Baba Ghanoush
“Strip him,” Jimmy said.
Mr. Pockface slugged Brent in the back of the neck with a forearm. Brent dropped to his knees. Fontana started toward him.
“Uh-uh,” the Bull warned.
She froze.
Brent held up a hand. “It’s okay, Fawn. Won’t be the first time I’ve been stripped in this fantasy.”
“Fawn,” Jimmy said with amusement. “I’ve got something special for you.”
“Take off your jacket and pants,” Pockface ordered Brent.
Brent pushed to his feet. He stripped off his jacket, then pulled open the fasteners on his waistband and pushed the trousers past his hips. If not for the revolver pointed at her, Fontana would have laughed. It seemed Brent just couldn’t help ending up naked in his fantasy. Though she couldn’t complain. His legs were a work of art. He abruptly paused in shucking the trousers from his second leg, and Fontana realized he was staring at the splintered doorjamb.
His gaze shifted to the gun Jimmy pointed, then to her, his eyes suddenly dark with anger, and Fontana realized he’d heard the shot but hadn’t known real bullets had been involved. Laser-beam Man appeared in the door, and crossed to him and Pockface.
“Strip her too,” the Bull said.

Day Seven: Worlds of Wonder Blog Hop
Today is the last day of the Worlds of Wonder hop. Today, we're sharing a second excerpt with you from Chain Reaction.
Excerpt--
She didn't resist as expected, but slid her hands around my neck and pressed herself closer. The feel of her luscious breasts against my chest hardened me so quickly the sensation bordered on pain. I thrust my tongue against her lips. She opened, and I slid into her mouth. Gladys moaned, the sound a soft vibration through my head that made me unable to think. She felt so good. I grasped her derrière and lifted her feet from the floor, backing her up to the couch. She fell onto the cushion, me on top of her.
I kissed her hard, tasting, needing all of her at once. She arched and I nipped at her lower lip. I fumbled with the top buttons of her shirt, finally managing to get two of them unbuttoned. I tugged back the shirt and thought I would lose my mind. No camisole covered the breasts that nearly fell out of the lacy white bra she wore. I pulled back the bra and stared at an erect quarter-sized rose-colored nipple. God, a woman's breasts were beautiful. I took the nipple into my mouth and rolled the stiff peak against my tongue. My erection pressed against her thigh.
Blood roared through my ears. I thrust my hips against her. Pleasure crashed down on me in a blinding fury. I became vaguely conscious of her heart, each beat pushing more blood through her system. She yanked my shirt free of the waistband and slipped her hands beneath the fabric. Warmth of her fingers penetrated my skin. She raked her nails over my chest.
I sucked in a breath. "Gladys."
She tilted her head back in invitation and I grazed the creamy skin with my incisors. If I gently pricked her skin—I froze. My incisors had fully extended without my having noticed. A taste, my mind persisted. Nothing more. One tiny drop, or two… or ten. I gave my head a hard shake. What was I doing? If Gladys noticed—how could she have not noticed? What was she doing? She'd seen what I did to Mr All American. Why wasn't she running from me in terror? I lifted my head and looked at her face. Had desire flushed her cheeks? She opened her eyes.
"What are you doing?" I demanded.
Her gaze didn't flinch. "This is what you want."
"What I want—" She wasn't offering herself to me because she wanted me. She was selling herself to me for my cooperation. "You would give yourself to me after what you saw the other night?"
"I would give myself to the devil to save my brother."
I showed her a slight smile, revealing the tips of my incisors. "That may be exactly what you've done."

Day Six: Worlds of Wonder Blog Hop
Today we have something really fun: Questions to readers. This is all about you!
What is your favorite genre, and why?
-Definitely Romance. Anything with a romantic feel. Whether it be dripping with love and romantic gestures, or very subtle. *shrugs* I guess I really do love a happily ever after. Though, I'm still waiting for my knight in shining armor to come riding in a majestic steed 
What makes a story good?
-I'm gonna have to say characters. The storyline could be beyond this world awesome, but if it lacks great characters, then it's pretty much dull.
What ruins a story for you?
-Again, characters. I guess, it can go both ways. You can't sell a story with crap-tastic characters. But, that's just me.
What do you think makes a good villain?
-Mwahahahahaha (lol, my attempt at an evil laugh)
What is the worst thing a hero can do?
-Ahh. uh, *ponders* ...become the villain? Hey, it could happen. And when that does, it's all bad! No bueno.
Do you prefer to read digital, print, or does it matter?
- I'd be all for eBooks but since I have no eReader, aside from my Kindle for PC and this uncomfortable chair, I'm gonna have to go with physical books. I prefer to be comfortable and trying to read a whole eBook in one sitting doesn't help while sitting in this chair >.<
Do you like to learn more about how your favorite authors write their books, or more about their characters?
-I'd definitely like to learn more about how my fave author writes their books. It's always interesting to see how they come up with these awesome characters and piece them together. Besides, I get to devour these awesome characters in their books.
Thanks to all our readers!

Day Five: Worlds of Wonder Blog Hop
Oh boy, we're interviewing our villain today. Please meet Olga, born in Germany, and spy extraordinaire.
I'm Olga. Some would call me a vampire. I call myself a superhuman. I'm better than you in every way. If I and my companions have our way, we'll prove it.
Where were you born? I was born in Germany. That is still my home and where my allegiance lies.
What single thing or goal do you want most in life? To rule the world alongside my comrades.
What do you fear most? I fear nothing.
What’s your world like? My world is spectacular. It's 1942 and I'm in America, Chicago to be more precise, and I walk amongst humans who can't conceive that a creature like me exists. I plan to infiltrate The Manhattan Project and discover the one secret that stands in the way of the Fatherland ruling the world: the uranium formula that will allow us to win the war against the Americans and Allies.
Are you presently in love, or do you hope to find someone special? I don't fall in love. Men fall in love with me.
Do you have a secret? Yes, I do, a very big secret, and when your Jordan Pierce discovers the truth, he'll realize that things can't be the way they were before.
Do you have any distinguishing facial features? Yes! I have exquisite skin, the color of porcelain. Men are wild for my face.
Where do you go when you are angry? It is dangerous to make me angry. I have been known to prowl the dark streets looking for an unsuspecting victim in which to vent my anger.

Day Four: Worlds of Wonder Blog Hop
Today, we are sharing another excerpt from Chain Reaction. Just how does a superhero react when he meets a beautiful woman?
Excerpt--
I opened the door and stopped dead at the sight of a shapely blonde leaning against Fermi's mahogany desk. I stared as realization sunk in that the Veronica Lake look-alike standing there was the same egghead pictured in her personnel file. The glasses she'd worn were absent and, despite the red-rimmed eyes and drawn expression, the single overhead light warmed the creamy complexion that had looked bland and colorless in the photo.
Thick blond hair slid across her face in a broad wave and flowed down slim shoulders. Suddenly, I understood the reasoning behind the functional bun in the picture. Despite the legs that mesmerized a man all the way down to the high heel straps, the tweed skirt and blazer she wore emphatically stated the bombshell figure was off limits. But the moment a man laid eyes on her luxurious hair all bets were off. My breath caught with bloodlust as I drew in her scent from across the room.
Gray-blue eyes stared from behind the drape of blond hair. Her gaze flicked to my waistband and I realized she'd glimpsed the colt holstered beneath my suit jacket.
"You wear your gun like a gangster," she said.
I startled. Her voice, low and sultry, held a shaky note, but I knew the remark was payment for my staring.
"This incident requires I carry a weapon." My drill sergeant used to berate any reference to the word gun. "Your gun is between your legs, son. Your pistol or rifle is called a weapon."
She continued to stare and guilt stabbed at me. She'd discovered a colleague who'd been brutally murdered, and I stood in the doorway gawking at her. I swallowed, feeling like a school kid.
"Dr Nichols, I'm Agent Pierce, head of nightshift security." Her fingers tightened around a lace handkerchief gripped in her right palm. I didn't want to step closer, but had to. Her pheromones were making my blood, or what was left of it, crave an infusion from her veins. "What happened?"
Her gaze dropped to the hankie and she began working the fabric with both hands. "I was working late and needed Leon to come to the lab. I couldn't get the Geiger counter to calibrate. I knocked. When no one answered, I opened the door and…" Her eyes swung up to meet mine. "So much blood." Her gaze remained locked with my eyes as if demanding a response.
