Ivan happens to run into her when she is trying to escape the bodyguards that her dad has on her. Her father is marrying her off to Jimmy Russo, the head of the Italian mafia, so that there will be a peaceful merger between the 2 groups. It was fate that Ivan and Maylin got together.

Liam ends up making some pretty high demands of Ivan. Ivan and Maylin have to go through quite a lot in a short period of time to get their HEA. It will be quite interesting to see what they do together with the future that hey now have ahead if them.... ( I totally think that they are in need of a novella in the future). I...

Say You Will by A.C. Jade My rating: 3 of 5 stars I had kind of a hard time getting through this one. It was not terrible. The story was cute and had great potential, especially later one. My biggest problem was Lace. To me she was too whiny. She was constantly on about how "dirty" and "broke" she was. Instead of feeling like she was really trying to better her situation, I really felt more like she was constantly feeling sorry for herself. And she kept telling Jax to make her feel safe. Then there was this whole part about "her secret" which I didn't quite understand what the "secret" was. That she was a very sexual person? She could get herself off? I don't know exactly what it was. There was a couple of good twists here and there. I just couldn't form an attachment to Lace. Jax was a pretty typical rich and powerful H. Some of the things that he said were kind of cheesy, but that happens sometime...

Shoulda Been a Cowboy by Lorelei James My rating: 5 of 5 stars Cameron McKay, the war hero, gets his HEA!!! You learn in the earlier books that Cam has got it bad for Domini, the manager at Dewey's Delish Dish (a local restaurant). In this book SHE finally makes her feeling about him common knowledge. When they get together he tries to use his "need to dominate" as a way to keep her from getting too close to his amputated leg. She doesn't let him get away with this for long. She tells him that she doesnt want anything serious. Since he now knows that she can handle him, he does not want to scare her off by letting her know his real feelings for her. They have some secrets and other things to work their way through. She wants to get custody of Anton, whose mom and dad were killed in a car wreck, but she is not the likely choice for foster care. Cam sees this as an opportunity to get her to commit to him more. Then maybe if he can get...

Separation Games by C.D. Reiss My rating: 5 of 5 stars Where we left off, Diana was determined to get Adam to love her again. He can't love her if she is a sub, but she can't love him unless he is dominant. Now I am not sure why they couldn't figure out how to make this work earlier. (besides the fact that the book would be significantly shorter) So basically they have to work their way to the happy medium... compromise and honesty are key to a great marriage. I really kept thinking that the book was not going to turn out with the ending that I wanted. I thought that there was something that was going to happen to piss me off..... But I can honestly say that I loved this book.... everything went exactly the way that it should. This was the first time I read C.D. Reiss (the duet was my first by her). I will definitely read her work again. View all my reviews

Marriage Games by C.D. Reiss My rating: 5 of 5 stars "Pussies are weak. Cunts are powerful." Holy hell! That is a powerful statement! Adam wakes up one morning to find a "Dear John" letter from Diana. At first he refuses to accept it. But then he comes up with a plan on how to get himself over the only woman that he has ever loved. Before her, Adam was into the world of Dom/sub relationships. He felt that he could never love a sub. Then he met Diana. He was ready to settle down. He fell in love with her. Through out the marriage she was feeling like something was missing, and thought that it was something that she was doing wrong. This book points out that a key ingredient to a great marriage is honesty and communication! The story does end on a cliff hanger.... so now I have to leave so that I can go to start the next part!

Branded as Trouble by Lorelei James My rating: 5 of 5 stars This is a great version of a friends to lovers story. One of the greatest parts is that it also goes a bit into the mind of a recovering addict/alcoholic. Colt has been in recovery for 3 years now. His sponser is India Ellison, who is also the sister of his cousin Kade's wife. They are constantly hanging out together on the weekends as well as at meetings. Cole finally decides to make a move and she mostly thinks that he is joking around with her.... until he kisses her and she makes him cum in her hands in less than a minute. They are both pretty hot headed. Colt has this gigantic family that can be totally overwhelming. India also does not like how his family still treats him like he is a big screw up. And of coarse being by Lorelei James.... its super hot! View all my reviews

Personal Foul by Hayley Faiman My rating: 4 of 5 stars I like this book. I think it started out really strong. Sweet girl, Jessa, abandoned by her parents moves in with boyfriend, Trent, and his family. He holds that over her head and tells her that she owes him everything because of it. When they go off to college he is playing football and starts to get out of control. He is such a jerk that you really don’t even feel bad when she cheats on him with one of his coaches, Cole. Although he is 20 years older than Jessa, he feels a connection to her that he cannot ignore. They have a whole bunch of issues that they have to fight their way through before their story gets some happiness to it. There are some mild instances of sexual assault and harassment. Jessa is a bit on the weak side. She does seem a little too dependent on other people and has a tendency to let men control her life. Given the fact that she never had a dad around to take care of her a...

Me & Mr. Jones: A Professor Student Romance by Lindsay Marie Miller My rating: 3 of 5 stars I was not the hugest fan of this book. I thought that the idea was great but I kind of feel like there was too much going on. Finley was a student who thought a guy was attractive. Turned out that he was her teacher, Cabel Jones. They end up running off together to get away from some people that are after them. But then it turns out that they are really just after him. Then while they are staying together she gets hurt, she is a bit whiny and doesn't listen to what she is told at all! In a life threatening situation you would think that after the first 2 times she messed up while not doing as she was told would have taught her to listen. But really there was just too much going on and went through it really quickly. I dont know what the second book is about, but I kind of feel like this one on its own could have been made into 2 books with how much dra...

Rough, Raw, and Ready by Lorelei James My rating: 5 of 5 stars The return of Edgard Mancuso! Trevor Glanzer was in love with Edgard (in Long Hard Ride). But he was not ready to come out as a gay man. So Edgard had left him to go back to Brazil. Years later Trevor finally parted ways with his family and marries Chassie West. Trevor and Chassie have a ranch that they run. They are living the happy married life. And then Edgard shows up. Trevor had never told Chassie about Edgard. Not even that they were roping partners. Ed stays with Trevor and Chassie. Things get real awkward when Chassie walks in on Trevor and Edgard kissing. Chassie needs to do some soul searching to see if this is something that she can handle or if she needs to walk away.... what is she willing to do to keep her husband... and keep him happy? Very hot book! There is a whole lot of M/M action, so be warned in case that isn't something you are ok with. Great story of people who ...

Lessons In Corruption by Giana Darling My rating: 5 of 5 stars So I went into reading this book with out reading the blurb or reviews or anything. All I knew was that it was a MC book. I went in strictly based off what raving that people, who have obsessed over the same books that I have in the past, were doing about it. Absolutely not a disappointment! And since I didn't know anything I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, and everything was a surprise to me (I didn't even know that she was his teacher!) There were many times that I felt my heart pounding in my throat! I cried! I was shocked at times. Basically this book had me feeling almost everything!!! Super hot story about a woman who settled too young and is now living her life the way that she wants to. King is quite the oddity in he knows exactly what he wants and has no problem going after it and committing despite his young age. I was so sorry to see this book end, but I am s...

Tied Up, Tied Down by Lorelei James My rating: 5 of 5 stars Here is the rest of Kade and Skylar’s story! Since Kade has been gone for the last year he has missed out on a lot. Most importantly the birth of his daughter. This book starts out with him finding out about this. He tells Skylar that he will be moving in with her and the baby so that he can be a full time, hands on daddy. Plus he still has some stuff to learn about babies. He fell in love with her a year ago when they had dated before, so now he has to live with and sleep in the same bed as the woman that he loves all while keeping his hands to himself. You already know that isn’t going to last very long. But just because you get someone to have sex with you doesn’t mean that you have won their heart. That’s what Kade is trying to do, but Skylar has been screwed over by controlling type men before. So this story is about hoe he goes about winning the heart of the woman he loves, who also ha...

Cowgirl Up and Ride by Lorelei James My rating: 5 of 5 stars This story takes you on a couple different journeys... First is with AJ and Cord. We know Cord is a single dad trying to get over the wife that left him. AJ is the girl that lived next door (miles away on another ranch) and was in love with him her whole life. With their 13 year age difference she had to come up with something big to get his attention. She wants him to see her as a woman.... not his son's babysitter or little sisters best friend. So she tells him she's a virgin and wants him to teach her everything. What man can refuse that? He is quite demanding and always has to be in charge. She hopes to turn it into something more than sex. She is much older than her actual age, will he actually see that? The book is centered around Cord and AJ. But you also get a look into the lives of some other McKay's that sets up the back story for future books. Then there is Kade. He d...

Eligible Receivers by Lane Hart My rating: 5 of 5 stars So I went into this book not knowing anything about it other than it was Kelsey's story. I didn't bother to read the blurb or anything. Why? Because I already knew I would love it and I wanted to be surprised by what Lane had in store... So Kelsey is rebounding from her fake marriage to Lathan. One night at the teams Christmas party Nixon and Cameron are up to their usual antics of competing over everything... and now that includes Kelsey. After the party clears out, both men start to lay it on thick. She goes to her room with Cameron, but then Nixon decides to break up their coupling. She wants them both.... so she has them both. After what she thinks in a one time thing.... they both continue to pursue her.... so how will this threesome work out???? I will say that I did she a few tears (but I that is all I will say about that) Another super hot read by Lane Hart. She did not let me do...

The Holiday Package: A Jake Davis Novella Part 1 by Leigh Lennon My rating: 5 of 5 stars Jake needs to get away from his neighbor/love interest. So he calls his sister to spent he holiday with her. Too bad she has other plans, but she sends him away on a holiday trip of his own. He goes to the Cayman Islands and stays at a B&B. This is where he meets Sasha. They are the only 2 people staying there. So they decide to start up a holiday fling! These 2 are super hot. And it really seems like they just cant get enough of each other. So much so that they dont want to just end it on the island. But this would mean a long distance relationship, and some other complications given Jake's job. So it ends on a cliffhanger..... Will they be able to find a way to make it work??? For it being a novella I really got into it and like the characters. I did not read the book that Jake previously played a part in, but I plan to fix that very soon. So I am quite...

Rode Hard, Put Up Wet by Lorelei James My rating: 5 of 5 stars Gemma and Cash finally get together!!! Gemma decided that finally, after her husband had been gone for a few years, that she needed real help running her ranch. So she sought out Cash. She knew that he had a thing for her, they had already kissed and made his feelings clear. When she asked him to come be the foreman on her ranch he said only if he got to be with her. She was finally ready to move on. Turns out Cash had a daughter that was born when he was 16 years old. Maycee was now 22 years old and ready to finally spend some time with his daughter, getting to know her. So she went to stay at the ranch too, in his camper. Carter McKay was spending the summer helping Gemma out while her stayed in her trailer and used her barn as a studio. From the minute he saw Maycee he knew that he had to have her. He had already been having dreams about her before he ever even saw her. This book goes ...

His Possession by Anna Bloom My rating: 4 of 5 stars What I liked best about this story was then ending.... (without spoiling too much) it totally wrapped up the main mystery and suspense of the book, but then also left it open to there being more to it. So you can either leave it at that, OR you can read more of story when the next book comes out! Sophia falls in love with her bodyguard, Blake. He fell in love with her.... but at the time she was under age, so there was nothing to be done about it. He felt that it would be better if he left. So he did. Until she was in trouble again.... and then he came back. Him leaving was the reason that her world went into a tail spin. She thought that Blake was the only person who actually care about her and then he just left. She got too heavily into drugs and even tried to harm herself. When she started getting threatening letters, Blake was brought back to protect her. She wasn't too happy about it at fi...

The Charitable Bastard by Jessica McCrory My rating: 4 of 5 stars Norah was abandoned by her parents when she was a child so she spent a lot of her adult life volunteering for shelters so that others that were in her position would have a place to go. She threw a charity ball for one of the shelters she worked with..... this is where she met Clayton Matthews. He was rich, successful, and very charitable to those less fortunate..... or so she thought. He was really into all kinds of underground money dealings. Norah meets Harley when people start shooting up a charity gala and Clayton had tried to use her a a human shield. Harley pulled her to safety. This began her education about he man that she has been engaged to. This story had a lot of suspense and action. There was so much going on that at times I did get a little lost since there was not a set POV that the story was being told from. I didn't really form any kind of connection with the char...

Misbehaved by Charleigh Rose My rating: 5 of 5 stars Oh holy greatness.... this story takes "forbidden romance" to a whole other level! Remi and her stepbrother, Ryan, live in the bad side of the city. She gets to attend a prestigious school for her senior year in high school. To say that her relationship with Ryan is inappropriate is a bit of an understatement, but she doesn't want him to be anything other than her brother and best friend. When she gets to the school she gets noticed by Pierce James, her debate teacher. He happens to see an exchange between her and Ryan that worries him, and then he noticed that he knows Ryan from his past, and it was not in a good way. He tries to stay away from Remi, but she pushes the boundaries. He never stood a chance! Remi is a very strong and determined lady. There was no way that she was going to spend her whole life living in the crappy life she was raised in. Her relationship with Ryan was qu...

The Secrets Between Us by Jennifer Ann My rating: 4 of 5 stars The only thing that kept this from being 5 stars was that I just didn't develop a connection to the characters. There was most definitely a lot to the story of Lincoln and Quinn. I felt like she had been through so much. The secrets that were between them were all HUGE! And it is totally understandable why they kept these things to themselves. Had they not kept these secrets then they may not have broken up for that 7 years. (but then that wouldn't have made a very good story). I totally hated Kellen and was not at all sad to see him get what he deserved (especially with the things he was saying to Lincoln about Quinn). I think that Quinn had to have been a very strong woman to have dealt with Kellen the way that she was. I really enjoyed this books. I loved the story line and loved the characters (for the most part). I would even read it again. View all my reviews ...

X-394 by Dee Garcia My rating: 5 of 5 stars Oooooh the suspense! Eden and Xander are a super hot couple. She was sent to kill him after he didnt pay back her father the money they he owed. But once she was with him she realized that she just couldn't take his life. They then started to have a relationship. When she gets a call to leave town to deal with some other business she has to take him with her because she told her father that she had killed him. So they went on a road trip. He spent a good part of it being angry at her for the lies that she told him, but eventually came around. But then her family finds out that she did not kill him and that they are off together. There was a ton of suspense and a cliffhanger ending.... now I am waiting for the next installment. View all my reviews

The Truth about Porn Star Boyfriends by Sunniva Dee My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was a very interesting story about Ciro, a porn star, who falls in love with Savannah. He does not tell her that he is in porn. He wanted to develop their relationship before she found out what he does for a living. It would take a really strong woman to be able to stay with a man that has sex on camera with other people. Ciro is absolutely the sweetest boyfriend. Its a pretty funny story. There are some serious moments when he gets to show how supportive he can be. He most definitely gets an "A" for effort! View all my reviews

Broken & Brave by Savana Jade My rating: 4 of 5 stars This is a really sweet story of a woman, Lanie, who was in a very abusive marriage. She finds the strength to leave her husband, but has to go into hiding since he isn’t too willing to let her go. She ends up being sent to live by Jaxon. He was the best thing for her. He fell in love at first sight. He didn’t care what baggage she came with, he knew it was big but he was unaware of the extent. Lanie thought that when she told him that he would leave her. There was a lot of foreplay with these two. There was also some familial issues (mostly with Jaxon’s family) thrown in that were really interesting to find out. The only issue that I really had with this book was the repeat of things said between Lanie and Jaxon. I get that a woman with her history would need to hear these things multiple times before she will believe it, I also understand that a battered woman will go back and forth between w...

His Obsession by Anna Bloom My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a great lead up to His Possession. Sophia was the girl Blake was supposed to protect. Unfortunately he couldn't protect her from himself. He fell for her, and when she started to show feelings for him as well he decided to back away. But it seems that did more harm than good.... I can't wait to see where this goes!!!

Scarlet Toys by S.M. Shade My rating: 5 of 5 stars Despite the fact that this book is about a sex toy shop it really doesn't have any more sex than your average romance type novel. Wyatt and Cassidy are quite a hilarious couple. Wyatt decides to open a sex shop in a small town. Cassidy had just lost her job and applied to be the manager of this new store. Being that it is in a small town you can imagine the issues they run into. But in that time they have a relationship that begins. They have such a light and fun relationship. The "slums" that Cassidy lives in are quite the comical place. Her neighbors on their own were quite amusing. This was a fun light read that literally had me laughing out loud at times. Cassidy is a very sassy female and she gives Wyatt a run for his money. I look forward to hearing more about the crazy antics from the neighbors of Violent Circle 😜 View all my reviews

Lovers Like Us by Krista Ritchie My rating: 5 of 5 stars 💖🔥 Everything I thought it was going to be! 💖🔥 There was so much more to this book than just the love story between Moffy and Farrow! You get some very serious glimpses into Moffy's relationship with Charlie. You get more looks at some of the other "kids". It was really great to see more about Beckett and Luna! This book was impossibly great! It was written from the POV of Moffy and Farrow. You got to see a lot more of the older kids in the family. There was so much love! A good amount of suspense. And of coarse there was some serious hotness! (and I am not just talking about what goes on between Farrow and Moffy) There are some very seriously hot bodyguards with these people, and they seem to like to have a lot of fun too, most of them are not too stuffy. I absolutely FLOVED Lovers Like Us and now I cant wait for Alphas Like Us! View all my reviews

Unwell by Robin Laine My rating: 5 of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book. From the very beginning it had my emotions all over the place. Azley is a single mom who, after being heart broken, is determined to never rely on a man ever again. Evan has decided to break her of that idea. She was only wanting casual hook ups, but he changed that for her. I spent the whole book waiting for the other shoe to drop. (I actually was waiting for the a-hole baby's daddy to make a come back and mess stuff up for her...) I was pulled in the from the beginning, to the point where I spent my whole day off just reading it! I look forward to reading more from Robin Lane, and I am quite excited to see who she decides to tell us about next. View all my reviews

Love's Ache by Ava Alise My rating: 5 of 5 stars Liz is quite a tortured lady. She absolutely deserves to be loved and cherished! After dealing with the loss of her sister, she then also has to go through the stress of a divorce. Before she has even had time to really deal with all these things, the man who actively perused her decides he can't handle her drama.... Chris is basically a single father. He "shares" custody of his son with the mother, but he is the main parent and does a dam good job taking care of his son. One thing he never wants to do is introduce another female into their life because he always wants his son to come first and doesn't want anything to get in the way of that. Chris and Liz decide they will have a FWB relationship. Both are going through a lot of stuff in their lives and have no room for the complications that come with the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing. But when you spend so much time with some...

The Other Brother by Meghan Quinn My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was such a beautiful story! It wasn't just about Aaron and Amelia and their second chance at love. It gives great background of Aaron and his life. From the very beginning you get a great sense of the kind of man he will grow up to be. Without having all of the details, his whole life (possibilities of what he dealt with) flashed in my mind. Which is why it was so great for him when he met and fell in love with Amelia. Always feeling like he is not good enough in general, and the fact that he is always trying to do what is right for everyone else is what eventually broke them up. When she got a call that her dad was getting worse in the nursing home that he was now living in she had to go to spend more time with him. And it just so happened that she ended up renting the house right next to her first love. They start to reconnect, but a relationship isn't possible since she is with...

Trashy Foreplay by Gemma James My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was a very emotional story. I love that Jules was brave enough to move across the country (even though she thinks she is running away). Cash is just seriously heartbreaking! His marriage is not in a great place and he is instantly drawn to Jules.... the questions are who was his wife cheating on him with? What went wrong with them? The only bummer is that his ended in a cliffhanger and the next conclusion isn't coming out for another 4-6 months! The wait is going to kill me!!! View all my reviews

Imagine Me by Fiona Cole My rating: 5 of 5 stars I seriously got so sucked into this book that I finished it in one day.... I was reading it on my lunch break at work and was late getting back because I did not want to leave Shane and Juliana! Juliana was pretty sheltered her whole life. Her family seemed to have her life already planned out for her. She didn't want what they had planned. So she left to Cincinnati, where her brother is, to try to live a life other than that of arm candy for the guy that was going to take over her dad's company. Shane had spent his life in foster care and never really had a family until he became friends with Jack. So that made things a bit difficult that he was attracted to Juliana, since she is Jack's sister and 13 years younger. Not to mention that Shane isn't known to stay with women. Juliana doesn't really care. She goes after what she wants. And she wants him. The book is entirely from Julian...

Jax: A Cocky Cage Fighter Christmas Story by Lane Hart My rating: 5 of 5 stars Lane has given us a peak into the lives of Page and Jax a few years later. Just because Jax retired doesn't mean he has been tamed. He retired because Page didn't want him to fight anymore since she saw it as setting a bad example for their son. This is a great little story of what happens when one person tries to change another. The result isn't always what you imagined it would be. And in this case the 2 don't really go into working our their problem with the right frame of mind. They both have to work out things on their own and see things from the other persons perspective to try to work it out with a resolution that gets them both what they want..... reminding us all that just because you get your "happily ever after" doesn't mean that you wont still have to put in the work to keep it HAPPY! Another fantastic story to add to the CCF serie...

On a Tuesday by Whitney G. My rating: 5 of 5 stars 💖🔥💋Yet another example of how GREAT Whitney is…. Whenever I pick up a book by Whitney G I know that I am in for a range of emotions, and I better be prepared to read the whole book in one day, or have issues sleeping. Her characters stay with me. I keep hearing their conversations in my head. Usually they stay with me for a few days while my brain goes crazy with the possibilities of what happened after THE END. In this story Grayson is a star football player in college and Charlotte is the one that has been assigned to tutor him. He is attracted to her, but unlike most of the females he is used to, she won’t give in to him. He had to work really hard just to get her phone number. They finally get together. They fall in love…. And then they graduate. That’s where the trouble begins. They reunite 7 years later at a reunion, and just like in college, when he decided to go after her to figure out wha...

He Loves Me...KNOT by R.C. Boldt My rating: 4 of 5 stars 💖"Sometimes love needs a second chance"💖 Knox and Emma Jane are high school sweethearts on the verge of getting married...until she hears something that makes her think its not such a great idea. So she leaves. She befriends a quarterback (Beckett) and starts a whole new life, leaving her fiance, family and friends behind. Eventually her past catches up to her and that it where all the fun begins. I loved that there was a bit of angst in this story, but not enough to make you full on ugly cry. There was quite a bit of humor. The friendship between Beckett and Emma Jane is rather interesting. The story can be a little confusing because it is from both POV and there are a lot of flashbacks foe both characters. One of the greatest things about this book was that the chapters were not too long and they usually didn't break with a cliffhanger, which made it easier to put down when I ...

Something Just Like This by Lisa Shelby My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🐝 Cami and Liam are most definitely the bee's knees🐝 Cami and Liam are part of the same circle of friends. They are the only 2 that are left single.... so it seemed only natural that they get together. They both have their issues. Liam tends to drink when things are bothering him, and before he moved to Portland he was dealt a pretty harsh blow by a woman he thought he was in love with. Cami feels like she needs to be completely independent. She never asks for help or shows that she needs anyone. Neither of them communicate very well when something is bothering them. I love how they were both unsure of themselves. It was a great telling of a realistic love story. No super heavy drama, no one party playing the total victim. He had money but that was not a factor in how he wooed her at all. This was my first book by Lisa Shelby and I was quite pleased with it. Since this was the 3rd ...

Bad Idea by Nicole French My rating: 5 of 5 stars I felt like there was a slow start to this story. But then once it got going it was so worth it. Layla is a college student who came to New York from Washington. She comes from money but her parents don't spoil her. Nico is a hard working man who takes care of his family first. He doesn't have money or the greatest background. But none of these things matter to Layla. She wants to be with him anyway. Nico never feels like he is good enough for her. Layla has a roommate that is really quite snobby, but I still couldn't hate her for it because you could always tell she really was just looking out for Layla. Even if it was not what Layla wanted to hear. The end of the book was very emotional! I really did cry (hence the reason it got 5 ⭐). But then the epilogue happened..... and it pushed to story into a whole new direction with a GIGANTIC cliffhanger that had my stomach in knots! 😒 Now I a...

Pretty Reckless by Jane Anthony My rating: 5 of 5 stars I went into this book with no clue about the author or really even the story I was about to read. All I knew was that it was a story about 2 addicts getting together. If you know or are an addict then you already know the drama and craziness that can come along with that. Chase is a recovering addict who is still working on healing his broken heart. Kat is in the middle of her self destruction. What he saw in her was a lost person who he needed to stay away from but absolutely could not! Jane wrote in her acknowledgments that "addiction may seem like a poor background to a romance novel". I couldn't disagree anymore! I felt like the story was real! It was a great telling of a story about 2 broken people going back and forth. Always feeling like the other shoe is going to drop. And they took turns at this role! What happened in this book was not a rich guy sweeping the girl off her ...

Long Way Down by Krista Ritchie My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was the most emotional of all the books to me. Ryke and Daisy are working on their family. They get engaged, and then married. They try really hard to get pregnant. The whole family deals with some very unhappy “fans” . We also get to see the Calloway family grow some more. Hearing Daisy and Ryke describe what they see in the other couples is really interesting. You didn’t get a whole lot of that in Hothouse Flower since they spent most of that book alone. In this story you also get to see a lot more emotion from Connor. Its funny how much more evolutions you see from Connor when it isn’t even his story. I also found even more love for Lily. It is in the story of others that you finally see her developing strength. In this story for Daisy and Ryke you get see them being crazy together. Build a life together. Daisy has found her voice with the help of Ryke and her sisters. Ryke and Lo finall...

Corrode by Ella Fields My rating: 5 of 5 stars 💖💖"All the roads in life...no matter where I've been or where I'm going...every single one will always lead me back to you. In this and every life after."💖💖 If I'm being honest I was not really as excited for this book. I love Ella Fields writing and have loved the stories she has told me so far, so I figured I would like this one too. But seriously I was not too sure I was going to love a story about a guy who wound up in jail for bad choices he made trying to support his family and the girl who took off running, keeping the baby from not only him but also his brother, because she didn't approve of the measures he was taking.... I WAS SO WRONG!!! There was so much more to the story than I thought there was going to be. Felix has had a hard life. Maggie was disowned by her family because she fell in love with Felix. They had bigger dreams for their lives than they were makin...

Twisted Twosome by Meghan Quinn My rating: 5 of 5 stars This was one of my favorites of the year! Its a enemies to lovers story with a rich girl falling for the working class guy! The relationship between Racer and Georgie is hilarious...with all the pranks and antagonizing it really reminds me of me and my husband! She needs help getting her shop fixed up and he needed a side job to make some extra money. They spend a lot of time together....so naturally they were going to get together! He shows her how to loosen up and have a good time. He also stood up for her when her dad was trying to tear her down. Basically Racer is super great boyfriend material! I love him! One of the cutest things in this book is the book of words that Georgie keeps. It brings up some really cool sounding words. View all my reviews

Chasing Miss Sin: A Novel by Jenna Lynn Hodge My rating: 4 of 5 stars Chasing Miss Sin was a pretty decent read. I wouldn't say that it was great, but not terrible. Ellie is an Erotic novel author named Miss Sin. Chase in a kindergarten teacher.... that right there is pretty funny if you ask me. She kept this fact from him for a while, which is totally understandable. But men don't like feeling duped so he was not too happy about it. But in all reality he may have just been using this as an excuse to walk away from her. Ellie was a bit of an emotional mess, and a lot of time was spent on her getting upset. I think a bit more back story on Chase would have helped the reader understand why he really got upset. Then there was the attempt at a reconciliation with her mother, who I didn't know she had a bad relationship with. Just a couple things that could have used a bit more explanation.

Smart Girl by Kate Baum My rating: 5 of 5 stars Totally worth the wait!!! Dee and Anthony... what a pair! Super hot🔥🔥🔥!! Dee think s that she know what she wants> Anthony proves her wrong. She thought that she would be a dominatrix...but he showed her otherwise. Watching her best friends with their significant others was tough for her. She was feeling some jealousy. She wasn't ready for a relationship so why be jealous of her friends? Turns out Anthony was just what she needed..... can they find a way to keep things going with them both being in 2 different cities??? View all my reviews

Funny Girl by Kate Baum My rating: 5 of 5 stars Since I had already read the first 2 books in the series I already knew this was going to be an emotional book. Right from the beginning it was bringing tears to my eyes talking about Janie's attack. But I loved the story of 2 broken people working to heal each other. And really.... could Cullen get any hotter??? His fears on hurting Janie is just about the sweetest. I feel like the pie to the face was a masterful touch to the story. But the question that I still have is did they move in together??? Still another great story in the Girl Series...... View all my reviews

Brave Girl by Kate Baum My rating: 4 of 5 stars I read Nice Girl, so I could not wait to see what happens with Eve since she has been mentioned a few time in some very interesting contexts. I kind of had a hard time getting into this one. I felt like there was too much time spent on the background story of her parents. But once the story got going I was entranced. I loved how Eve was a strong advocate for everyone but herself. Lou's constant pursuit despite her always pushing him away was portrayed in such a way that I didn't feel like he was some cocky alpha-male jerk. I was getting so into the story surrounding them as a whole that the abrupt ending was a bit of a disappointment. Just because she finally admitted her feelings for him did not mean that all the ends were tied up. Usually these things would have been wrapped up in an Epilogue but sadly there wasn't one.

Nice Girl by Kate Baum My rating: 5 of 5 stars I adore Vinnie and Grace! She's the good girl who helps the bad boy change his ways. But there is so much more to the story!!! He has already begun to turn his life around. The only area he has been unsuccessful is in his relationships with women. He has some very deep rooted issues. When Grace first meets him, he terrified her. She has been working in being a strong and independent woman. As her relationship with Vinnie develops, she worries that her feelings for him are making her weak and dependent on him. Personally I think this relationship with him only helps her develop her strength. Needing a "hero" now and then does not show weakness, and dealing with Vinnie's constant hot then cold behavior would take an enormous amount of strength and confidence. Plus given his past, and whats she knows of it, her choosing to stick it out and continue to help him face his fears make her one o...

Cain by Lane Hart My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow! If your read the Cocky Cage Fighter series then you will absolutely love this book! You don't have to have read the CCF series to get into this one. Its cool because in one of the CCF books (Luke) you see what happens when he went into the underground fighting to earn some extra cash. There you were introduced to Cain. From Luke's POV he seemed like a total douche! This give you his side of the story and you get to know why he was such a jerk about the possibility of losing. Gabby was sold to the mafia boss by her brother when she was only 14. That was when she met Cain. He was in a dark place, but the second he saw her he felt protective of her, maybe even love at first sight (but being 15 he wouldn't have known that). You get a good amount of back story on these 2. Cain gives the phrase "fighting for the woman you love" a whole new meaning. He fights to keep her from having to str...

Endless Love by Nelle L'Amour My rating: 5 of 5 stars After the heart breaking end to Undying Love I was more than excited to read another story where Ryan gets the chance for a happy ending. After the death of Allee he wrote a book about their story. He fell into a serious depression. Willow was a dancer in a ballet. She fell into some very unhealthy habits to keep herself relevant in her job. Plus she caught the man she was in a relationship with having sex with another ballerina…. In her dressing room. Something that got her through tough nights by reading a love story that captured her heart. Undying Love. Ryan is a regular customer at her father’s deli. When she asks him, Ryan has no problem signing her copy of his book. He decides to start trying for a relationship with her. Everywhere he turns he sees Allee cheering him on, telling him that it is time for him to move on. He has a hard time getting rid of the guilt that he feels. The strugg...

Addicted After All by Krista Ritchie My rating: 5 of 5 stars :Sighs: This was by far the best of the Addicted novels! I absolutely love the closeness of Lily and Lo. There is Lily’s strength to get through dealing with pregnancy hormones. There is Lo’s realization that he wants the baby that he thought he never wanted. There is Lily confronting her mom after all these years. A whole lot of great things happen to them in this story. I have read it numerous times, and yet it still made me cry on more than one occasion (both happy and sad tears). I am so invested in these characters as if they were real people that I have known for years. Seeing good things happen to Lily and Lo makes my heart swell. They always think that bad things happen to bad people so they never think that they deserve anything good happening to them. I am super glad to see that it actually happens for them. And now I move on to the next book…. (even though I have read that one a ...

Legally Ours by Nicole French My rating: 5 of 5 stars Everything I was hoping it would be! Skylar and Brandon are so back and forth. The last story (Legally Mine) ended with a huge cliffhanger! Well it really felt like 2 cliffhangers. The twists did not stop there. Once those 2 things were cleared up (or sort of cleared up) there were still quite a few things happening that took me for a ride on the emotional roller coaster. I'm not gonna lie.... I cried more than once! And she really got me at the end, I was quite nervous that the ending was not going to be to my liking... but even then it would have been a great story. It wraps up the love story of Skylar and Brandon quite well. It basically wraps up all the different story lines that have come up regarding both of their lives before they got together also. I really think this is probably the best series wrap up book I have read this year! I really do love the books that make me cry the ugly t...

Hothouse Flower by Krista Ritchie My rating: 5 of 5 stars We finally get to know more about the youngest Calloway sister! Of course she was going to get together with Ryke. Was there ever any question about that? The real question is how everyone will deal with their relationship. Daisy has her modeling career. She is finally 18 so she can go to Paris for fashion week without her overbearing mother. After all of the trauma she has dealt with from her sister’s sex addiction, and then her other sister’s sex tapes, you wonder if this poor girl can take anymore. Ryke is really the only one that has been there for her. Thankfully she has him since her other sisters have someone also. The more you get into their lives the more you love all of these characters. They all have so many issues to work through. The sisters don’t seem to all have a great dynamic. Lily and Rose are extremely close. Daisy doesn’t feel as close to her sisters. It takes Ryke pushing ...

Legally Mine by Nicole French My rating: 5 of 5 stars In this 2nd book to the Spitfire trilogy you get to see more of the story about Brandon and Skylar. After she runs off to New York to be with her family after graduation she changes her mind and decides to go back to Boston and take the high paying job there. It doesn't take long for Brandon to find out that she is back. They get back together, but that isn't the end. More of her family gets involved. His wife (soon to be ex-wife) stirs up some more drama. Jared stated to creep me out and I am not quite sure how Skylar was able to be around him because he really have me the creeps. This middle book is full of love, hot sex, heart break and a bit if suspense. There were more than one place where it totally had tears in my eyes trying to read through them because I didn't want to take a break in the book. And now I have to wrap this up so that I can move on to read the finale! ...
