ONE!!!
The King has returned! Someone please hold me, fan me and feed me all kinds of sweet stuff. Travis King has my heart pounding, pulse soaring and my stomach fluttering. This man, got even cockier, even hotter and even more desirable than the first time I met him. How you ask?! I know….Hard to believe right? How can he possibly be better than book one? Welp, take my word for it because he was! Way better. Kennedy Fox wrote him SUPERBLY!

TWO!!!

Speaking of Kennedy Fox, can I just say I have no idea who these authors are separately but my gosh…. Together they are ASTOUNDING. Reading their words is like taking a breath of fresh air. Simple, uplifting and satisfying. Everything about this novel was FLAWLESS. From the continued growth of the characters to the blistering connection to the beautiful love story that resulted. FLAW-LESS!

THREE…

Travis & Viola aka team Traviola which I’m on, TOTALLY. Are a match made in enemy heaven. This book brought us a huge development in their relationship but still, they had that SPARK. That FIRE. That downright intense, passionate, hate filled LUST that we first saw in book 1. Only this time, all of it was balanced perfectly with the breathtaking LOVE that develops. 

I guess you’re all wanting to know if book two also packs the same scorching heat as book one? Well I can happily tell you that it does. And it’s MAGNIFIED. Gaming never looked or sounded SO FREAKING HOT before. *reaches for a fan* SO yeah… BOILING HOT. LITERALLY MELTING! 

FOUR…

I was ALL IN with this story, this couple. Everything. From beginning to end they had me. Devoted. Obsessed. Consumed. 

I found myself in such a hurry to reach the end but I also never wanted it to stop. Books that evoke so much passion and emotion are THE BEST. Undoubtedly. And this, is one of the BEST!

FIVE….!!!!

Kennedy Fox have once again made their move and what a move it was. Checkmate- This is Love, IS love, passion, heat, intensity, power.  And above all else MAGNIFICENT. 

I’ll keep reading (and counting) as long as you two keep writing….

YOUR MOVE FOX.

Viola Fisher is the epitome of perfection.

She despises my one-night stands and mocks my less-than-classy habits.

She’s smart, beautiful, and too good to be true.

And I want her.

If she were anyone else, I’d have made my move years ago, but considering she’s my best friend’s little sister, she’s always been off-limits. Not to mention how much she loathes my very existence. 

Hating me is her religion, but needing her is mine. Her sexy curves and filthy smart mouth make me want her even more, and I’m more determined than ever to change her mind. 

I’ll prove I’m done playing games.

But until then, we’ll continue to play by her rules.

Viola Fisher may have won the battle, but the war isn’t over yet.

Checkmate, princess.

Worth Fighting For by Kirsty Moseley

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sometimes two people need to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together.

Second-chance love is a special kind of love, a raw and real romance, which speaks to the soul. Two soulmates broken apart whose love has never died are granted a do-over…that coveted second chance. Their hearts, once sliced in half, find their way back to each other and become whole again. Second-chance love stories are my heart…my soul…my addiction; Worth Fighting For was MY KRYPTONITE.

I could not help but devour Worth Fighting For with a voracious hunger, drowning in the pulse-pounding pages like my last breath. I had to force myself to put my kindle down as I did not want to stop inhaling this thrilling tale. I fell in fast love with Worth Fighting For, a story I knew would be worthy of its title, one that would be a fight of feels and a tug-of-war with my heart, and that it was.

Worth Fighting For held my heart in its clutches, owning it…OWNING ME. My feelings were free-falling fast and hard, as my heart beat out of its chest, pounding with every page. My emotions were entangled around every word as the passion penetrated me. I FELT EVERYTHING!!!

The Prologue alone brought me to tears. My emotions engulfed me, igniting like fire, ready to burn. Oh did I BURN as I battled my feels…a fight I would not win…a fight I did not want to win. I knew this story starring story about a broken boy who lost the one girl he loved who could save him would break me…that it did. I just did not know that the girl’s story this time would break me just as hard or even more.

Gorgeous, dark-haired, dark-eyed, tall, inked, and muscular Jamie Cole lost the only girl he loved…his soul mate…and it was all his fault. He thought he was letting her go so she could be free, but his heart was never free as it was broken and bound to Ellie, half a heart remaining as she’d always have the other half.

“I was in love once. Only once. And I lost her. And I would give any f**king thing in the world to never loved her at all. No, it was definitely is not better to have loved and lost.”

It’s been three years since beautiful, red-haired and blue-eyed Ellie left New York to London to start a new life, and forget about the boy who broke her heart and now the man who still holds her broken heart in his hands.

“Jamie. The beautiful, wounded boy who tricked me into falling in love with him only to shatter me completely.”

Jamie is dead inside, living to work and working to live. His heart is gone, as it was given to the only girl who stole it from him when they were teens. Ellie was an angel in his darkness, the one who made him believe in a future…believe in himself.

“The girl was still everything right in my world.”

A tragedy brings Ellie home after three long years, reuniting her with the broken boy…now man…who was supposed to be her forever. Sometimes love never dies; it just needs to be rekindled.

“The second my eyes met his I forget to breathe.”

The chemistry sparked by flames, a fire ignites with passion between them.

“I didn’t have time to react before his mouth was on mine…Everything was forgotten: the pain, the heartache, the tears…I was lost in him.”

Those kisses melted from the pages, penetrating that passion right to me as I felt it too. Those lifetime kisses of soulmates that you know will lock you to love for life. Oh how was I rooting for love! I wanted…no needed…this second chance love story to succeed. I wanted this broken boy to reunite with his angel girl, soul mates whose hearts needed to be whole.

“You deserved better than me, you always did.”

“Was I not worth fighting for?”

“You’re worth dying for.”

Oh did I love this broken and beautiful man, Jamie, so much! Oh how this amazing alpha made me swoon and smolder. Jamie is pure perfection! The dark hero with a heart of gold held my heart in his hands and never stopped owning it…OWNING ME!

My heart shattered as my soul swooned. I was gutted…unglued. I was drowning in tears mixed with hope and heartbreak. These words melted my heart in the utmost devotion of love…slaying my soul…SLAYING ME!

“He had been my first love and, I had come to realize, my only love.”

Can Jamie and Ellie pick up the pieces of their painful pasts and their shattered hearts and become whole again?

These two halves of hearts needed to be whole… one. This knight could not…would not… leave his damsel in distress…PLEASE NO! So I hoped. I prayed. I desperately rooted for love. Love that had to survive this turmoil.

Worth Fighting For is a heartbreaking and heartwarming tale that hijacked my heart and slayed my soul. I cried tears of heartbreak, happiness, and hope in one of the most gut-wrenching and gripping stories of second-chance love. My fingers gripped tightly, white-knuckling my kindle from beginning to end as Worth Fighting For had me on the edge. Oh what a fast and furious, heart-beating-out-of-my-chest edge it was!!!

I could only succumb to this tale that took my emotions from me where I was fighting them and they were fighting me. Worth Fighting For is a roller coaster of a second-chance romance, one where I felt every twist and turn of my heart as it traveled on a riveting ride of heartbreak, hope, and happiness. This thrilling tale of tenderness mixed with terror was my adrenaline…my angst…my ache…MY ALL!

Worth Fighting For BROKE ME IN THE BEST WAY! Kirsty Moseley wove her magic in one masterpiece of an utterly brilliant and devastatingly beautiful book that I LOVED SOOO MUCH. Kirsty Moseley has moved up to my top author list, and Worth Fighting For is a new top 2016 read!

When you begin and end a tale in tears, you know that story stamped itself all over your heart and soul, entangling and embedding itself into your emotions. You were lost to it and it was lost to you. I lost myself in Worth Fighting For by Kirsty Moseley and I am still not ready to be found. Worth Fighting For is WORTH EVERYTHING.

But as much as she still loves him, she can’t ignore the dark world he’s now a part of. Jamie has enemies. Dangerous ones. And after seeing Jamie with Ellie, they know exactly how to take him out . . .

I have finished what is now Leslie McAdam’s BEST book to date and I love Leslie McAdam books. The Ground Beneath our Feet is SENSATIONAL.

I INHALED this book. From start to finish Leslie’s words fully engrossed me, pulling me so deep into a story of hope, future, wishes and love. What Leslie manages to do PERFECTLY with this book is make it HONEST AND REAL. My whole being fell in love with Jessica, who was the true hero in this book. 

Jessica was just beautiful. Her past was devastating and I felt every break of her heart and every fear. I ADORED that Leslie made her curvy, made her a real woman, with body & health issues that were so easy to relate to. The whole character was written seamlessly.

And Mikey, OH MYYYYY GOSH, MIKEY! Where the heck can I find him? Broken from an also devastating past, Mikey wormed his way into my soul from the off. His lust and love for Jessica gave me tingles and I just wanted to high five him for it. 

Together Mikey and Jessica were explosive, their connection built slowly until they were burning freely which was BREATHTAKING! 

I loved the slow burn, loved the feels, loved the reality of it all. The Ground Beneath our Feet is a hot, swoony, sensational romance that captivates a real life issue and makes is beautiful. There just aren’t enough stars for this book.

TAKE THE LEAP

She’s got her feet planted on the ground. He’ll teach her to fly.

Jessica, a curvy, driven, neat freak lawyer, is ecstatic when she finally gets her dream job—even though it’s taking her away from her hometown. When she meets over-the-top, man-mountain Mikey, a fitness buff and veterinarian with a messy life in all senses of the word, she thinks she just walked into the second-most exciting adventure of her life.

His larger-than-life personality fascinates her, but also shakes the foundations of her quiet, introverted self, knocking her off-kilter. It’s a bad idea to let him take her on as a weight-loss client. It’s an even worse idea to get involved with him since he’s her manwhore roommate…and she’s seen him in action.

If they give into their undeniable attraction, is it just a train wreck waiting to happen? Or will their desire fuel a chance at real love?

If you love steamy romance, be sure to check out the fourth standalone in the Giving You series.

Fire in You by J. Lynn

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Love is like friendship caught on fire. In the beginning, a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but only still light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.”~Bruce Lee

Has a story every stolen your soul and hit your heart hard with a force you didn’t see coming? Fire in You by Jennifer Armentrout stole my soul, striking it with a match where it burned bright. I gave my heart to Fire in You where I knew it would remain long after this story ended. I KNEW that Fire in You would be the fire that melted me…burned me…broke me…and that it did. Fire in You is a roller coaster of a second-chance romance, one where I felt every twist and turn of my heart as it traveled on a riveting ride of hope, heartbreak, and happiness.

There is something special about second-chance love that speaks to the soul. Two soul mates broken apart whose love has never died are granted a do-over…that coveted second chance. Their hearts, once sliced in half, find their way back to each other and become whole again. Second-chance love stories are my heart…my soul…my obsession; Fire in You was MY KRYPTONITE.

I fell in INSTANT LOVE with Fire in You that wrapped itself around my heart…owning it…OWNING ME. My feelings were free-falling fast and hard. I WAS ALL IN! I could not help but devour the pages with a voracious hunger, drowning in them like my last breath. This book with its incredible detail and conversational style that struck all of my senses…WORDS…rendered me so full of FEELS where I felt every word penetrate me with passion and possibility.

From the minute Brock Mitchell entered Jillian Mitchell’s life when she was eight and he was fourteen, she knew she’d found both a friend and soul mate. Inseparable and best friends through their teen years, Jillian soon fell in love with the broken boy who only she could fix. The boy who later broke her heart on the same fateful night where a gunshot almost killed her. While she almost died that tragic night, it was Brock who killed her.

“Brock and I…we used to be inseparable despite the age difference. It was always us…until that night. Until I realized it had always been me wanting him and him wanting everyone but me.”

Brock ‘The Beast’ Mitchell was an UFC super star, heavyweight champion, who trained under Jillian’s mix martial arts expert of a father. Brock with his dark hair, dark eyes, endless muscles and ink, and tall frame is a beast in and out of the ring. An all-alpha. Pure perfection.

“If you look up ‘flirt’ on the Internet, I’m sure it had a picture of him grinning the panties right off some chick.”

The broken boy who was given a second chance at life from Jillian’s family. The broken boy who should have claimed the angel, Jillian, who healed him. I wanted to hate him…but I loved him.

“When it came to Brock, I dove in headfirst and didn’t come up for air.”

My heart broke…shattered…for Jillian. This beautiful, dark-haired, and dark-eyed angel doesn’t realize her beauty that shines bright from inside out. The beautiful girl who loved a broken boy who didn’t even love her back.

“I gave my heart so completely, so fully to someone else, that when my heart was broken, those pieces I’d freely given away weren’t mine any longer. My heart wasn’t complete.”

Little does Jillian know that Brock the man, now retired from fighting at thirty-two-years-old, wishes he had claimed the girl…now woman…who, deep down, he knew was always his. Little does Jillian know that she would be reunited with the only man she’s ever loved, Brock, who she’s been hiding from these past six years. Little does Brock know that Jillian is not that same, vulnerable girl. She is a strong woman; one who has survived hell and is finally living her life for her.

“I know the old Jillian…but this Jillian? I don’t know her, but I want to. I see a woman—a beautiful woman.”

Brock is determined to right the biggest wrong of his life, letting the girl, now woman, who has always held his heart like she does his, get away. Like an opponent in the ring, Brock is going to fight for that second chance.

“Brock had fire in him. He always had.”

Both Jillian and Brock have fire in them…strength in spades. These soul mates are survivors, warriors who have been to war in a way, and are still fighting for love. That second chance.

“I really want this to work for us, Jillian. It’s a second chance for us.”

What begins as a friendship turns into chemistry sparked by flames, a fire that ignites with passion between them. This passion is born of soul mates, one fueled fate that may be hard to fight.

“Then Brock kissed me. Really kissed me. His mouth came down against mine like he was committing the feel of them to memory. Hot. Hard. Wet. His tongue slipped over mine, and he didn’t so much kiss me as he did devour me. Now that was a kiss.”

Those kisses melted from the pages, penetrating that passion right to me as I felt it too. Those lifetime kisses of soul mates that you know will lock you to love for life. Oh how was I rooting for love! I wanted…no needed…this second chance love story to succeed. I wanted this broken boy to reunite with his angel girl, soul mates whose hearts needed to be whole.

“Did you miss me this whole time?”

“I missed you. Missed you every f**king day, Jillian, with every ounce of who I am.”

This broken boy and amazing man made me sweat and swoon. His sexy, seductive, and soul-filled words sent me on a ship to Swoon Land where I sank under his spell. I LOVED Brock! I was OWNED by Brock. I was owned by Fire in You. DONE!

“What terrified me was the knowledge that if I fell for him again, I would fall deep, and I’d never recover. If I loved him again, I’d be lost forever.”

Love is a battlefield and sometimes you have to fight for what you believe in, fight for the other person, fight for love. I cried tears of heartbreak, happiness, and hope. Tremors of tenderness yet trepidation surged through my body as I wanted this second chance too. These two halves of hearts needed to be whole… one. This knight could not…would not… leave his damsel in distress again…PLEASE NO! So I hoped. I prayed. I desperately rooted for love. Love that had to survive time and turmoil. Love that had to survive war. Love that is worth the fight.

When you begin and end a story in tears, you know it’s something special, and oh was Fire in You such an emotionally intoxicating and incredible read. Fire in You shattered me…slayed me…this second-chance love story stripped me bare where I broke. I was enraptured as every emotion was electrified. My heart and soul were on fire as Fire in You set them ablaze, burning bright, melting EVERY PART OF ME.

Fire in You breathed fire in me, words that burned into my heart and soul. Fire in You is LOVE…LOSS…AND LIFE. This soul-searing story is full of life with a magnetism that drew me in deeply where I was transfixed as every word became me. This pulse-pounding story bled angst where I bled with these characters too. I felt every word I read. I felt heartbreak. I felt happiness. I felt hope. I FELT EVERYTHING. ALL OF THE HEART. ALL OF THE SOUL.

Jennifer Armentrout is a new author to me, and oh am I hanging my head in shame that I didn’t pick up one of her heart-hitting and mesmerizing masterpieces years ago!!! This author now owns my book-loving heart and soul for life! Fire in You breathed life in me, leaving me breathless, in a book that was sheer brilliance from beginning to end. Fire in You BLEW ME AWAY!!!

“The truth is I gave my heart away a long time ago, my whole heart, and never got it back.” ~Sweet Home Alabama

I gave my heart to Fire in You where it’s still melting in the flames of a heart-wrenching and heartfelt hangover. I gave my soul to this story…no…Fire in You stole my soul. I had no choice but to FALL HARD into the flames of feels that this story swathed me in, and oh was every part of me on fire. Fire in You was the fire in me, and I want to feel the burn of this book forever.

★★★★★ 5 soul-burning bright stars

View all my reviews

From the # 1 New York Times and International bestselling author, Jennifer L. Armentrout writing as J.Lynn, comes a richly moving story about heartbreak and guilt, second chances and hope. Full of familiar, fan-favorite characters and no two people more deserving of a happy ending, Fire In You will burn bright beyond the last page…

Jillian Lima’s whole world was destroyed in a span of a few hours. The same night her childhood love, Brock ‘the Beast’ Mitchell, broke her heart, her life was irrevocably altered by the hand of a stranger with a gun. It takes six years to slowly glue together the shattered pieces of her life, but Jillian is finally ready to stop existing in a past full of pain and regret. She takes a job at her father’s martial arts Academy and she’s going out on her first date since a failed relationship that was more yuck than yum. Jillian is determined to start living.

She just never expected Brock to be a part of her life again. But he’s firmly back in her life before she knows it, and not only is he older, he’s impossibly more handsome, more teasing and more everything. And when he sees Jillian, he’s no longer capable of thinking of her as the little girl who was his shadow growing up or the daughter of the man who gave him a second chance at life. He sees the woman who’d always been there for him, the one person who believed in him no matter what.

Brock knows she’s the one he should’ve made his, and what begins as a tentative friendship quickly turns to red-hot chemistry that sparks a flame that burns brighter than lust. Falling for Brock again risks more than her heart, because when the past sorrow-filled and guilt-ridden past resurfaces, and a web of lies threatens to rip them apart, the fallout could lay waste to everything they’ve fought to build together, and destroy the dreams of those they care most about.

Sweet Cheeks by K. Bromberg

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

People who are meant to be together find their way back. They may take a few detours, but they’re never lost.

There is something special about second-chance love that speaks to the soul. Soulmates whose love has never died are granted a do-over…another chance. Their hearts, cut in half from being apart, find their way back to each other and become whole again. Second-chance love stories are my obsession…my heart…my soul. K. Bromberg’s latest sensation, a second-chance romance called Sweet Cheeks, was my heart…my soul…my kryptonite. Sweet Cheeks is a hypnotic and heartfelt second-chance love story anchored in angst and submerged in soul and swoon.

Oh how excited I was to meet this fresh start, this chance for K. Bromberg to wow devoted Driven series fans like me with something new and so incredibly different! With bated breath in anticipation of uncovering the unknown, I dove into Sweet Cheeks, barely surfacing for air until the end. I was quickly captivated…consumed…claimed as Sweet Cheeks stamped its imprint all over me. I WAS ALL IN.

This story sparked to life as magic poured from the pages, Sweet Cheeks shining in beauty and brilliance like a sunset on the beach. Not even ten percent in and this tender tale touched me deeply. My feels were flowing over the pages as Sweet Cheeks clutched my heart, hijacking it, willing it to bend and break. I FELT ALL THE FEELS.

A teenage love story that was supposed to last forever abruptly ended, leaving two broken hearts along the way, perhaps three if you count mine.

“Told me he’d stay forever. And left without ever saying a word.”

Hayes Whitley was Saylor’s brother’s best friend and her first love, the love that was supposed never die. Hayes killed it…them…when he abruptly left without a word and never looked back.

“He became my first crush.”
“Then later my first love.”
“And later again my first heartbreak.”

My heart broke. Tears fell for this love story with so many lost years. I hated Hayes…I loved Hayes. Now a Hollywood heartthrob and mega-star, Hayes is back after 10 years as a favor to her brother in an unusual situation as Saylor’s escort to her ex-fiancé’s wedding, and Saylor’s world has been turned upside down. Saylor is not the only one affected after ten years apart; Hayes is still haunted by Saylor too.

“She looks back at me and gives me a full-fledged smile—heavy topic overshadowed by nostalgia—and f**k if it doesn’t make me think thoughts about that wild child of a girl who owned my heart.”

I loved this smart, sexy, beautiful, fierce, and feisty heroine, Saylor, as much as Hayes. Now they are thrust together after ten long years apart. One long weekend on an island alone. No interruptions. So much promise…so many possibilities await.

Time to rehash the past and slay those demons.

“He’s left his fingerprint on me, marking me with invisible ink. And being here is like stepping under a black light. Every single one of those scars becomes visible, brought to light so I can’t ignore them anymore. Forcing me to face them once and for all.”

Time to see if that forever passion still burns.

“I want him to kiss me. Just once. Even at the age of seventeen, Hayes could kiss in a way that made me feel like I’d just laid every part of my soul on the line when his lips left mine.”

Time to see if that passion permeates into more.

I rooted for that kiss…that pent-up passion to erupt. That kiss was a fusion of happiness, hope, and heartbreak after so many years apart.

“I sigh in relief. Then gasp out of shock. Because Haye’s lips are on mine…all I want to do is drown in his kiss. In the familiarity of it. In the difference of it. The unexpectedness of it. The comfort of it. In everything about him.”

The tall, dark-haired and dark-eyed muscular prince and his blonde and blue-eyed long-legged princess were magical together. That kiss melted from the pages, penetrating that passion right to me as I felt it too. As soon as Saylor and Hayes collided, my emotions were on edge…amplified.

“Now I know why I’ve always compared every woman I’ve ever kissed to you.”

I swooned and never stopped swooning until the end. Sweet Cheeks is swoon in spades. Words of sweetness and nostalgia kissed me where I felt butterflies dancing in my belly, a feeling of hope, happiness, and freedom fused with love.

“My pace, Saylor. Not yours. I’m in control now. You may own pieces of me you never even knew, but right now, I’m going to own you. Every single part of you.”

Oh did Hayes POSSESS ME!!! Oh how this amazing alpha made me swoon and smolder. This man is pure perfection. I was owned by Hayes. I was owned by Sweet Cheeks.

“…Sometimes things happen in life and love’s put on hold. But if someone’s your soul mate, nothing is going to stop you from being together in the end.”

My heart flip-flopped at the possibility of childhood sweethearts reconnecting after ten long years. Sweet Cheeks meshed with my favorite movie, Sweet Home Alabama, both playing together in my head.

“Because it’s only ever been him.”

I cried tears of heartbreak, happiness, and hope. Tremors of tenderness yet trepidation surged through my body as I wanted this second chance too. These two halves of hearts needed to be whole… one. This knight could not…would not…ride off into the sunset again and leave his damsel in distress…PLEASE NO! So I hoped. I prayed. I desperately rooted for love. Love that had to survive time and turmoil.

When you begin and end a story in tears, you know it’s a keeper, and oh did I want to keep Sweet Cheeks longer. Sweet Cheeks slayed me, this second-chance love story stripping me bare, enrapturing me as every emotion was electrified, my heart and soul on fire. I did not prepare for this assault on my heart in this sweet and swoon-filled story with its surprise storm of sensations. I felt every word I read. I felt heartbreak. I felt happiness. I felt hope. I FELT EVERYTHING. ALL OF THE HEART. ALL OF THE SOUL.

K. Bromberg aced her new sensation, Sweet Cheeks, this sweet, swoon-filled, and soul-searing second-chance romance. Different but still slightly familiar…comfortable yet thrilling…yet still HOME. This story felt wonderful! Words wondrous and a book both brilliant and beautiful…pure perfection like the rest of Bromberg’s writing. Sweet Cheeks left me breathless in a book that was sheer brilliance from beginning to end. Sweet Cheeks BLEW ME AWAY!!!

“The truth is I gave my heart away a long time ago, my whole heart, and never got it back.” ~Sweet Home Alabama

I gave my heart to Sweet Cheeks where it still remains, likely bound to this story forever. I gave my soul to this story—as if I had a choice—for it to be sucked in like a breath of ocean air, pulling me under, where I could not help but FALL FAST IN LOVE. Oh did I LOVE Sweet Cheeks! Sweet Cheeks, this emotionally-charged story of epic love hit my heart hard and sent my soul swooning off in the sunset. I still haven’t stopped swooning as I can still smell the love in the ocean air.

An all new second chance love story by the New York Times Bestselling author of the Driven series.

It all started with the invitation. To my ex-fiance’s new wedding.

I should have ignored it.Thrown it away. Set it afire. But I didn’t. I replied.

With a plus one.

And then my assistant accidentally mailed it.

Enter Hayes Whitley. Mega-movie star. The man who has captured the hearts of millions. But I gave him mine years ago. He was my first love. He was my everything. Right until he up and left to chase his dreams without so much as a simple goodbye.

When he showed up out of the blue ten years later, I should have known to steer clear. I should have rejected his offer to take me to my ex’s wedding. I should have never let him kiss me.

But I didn’t.

And now we’re left wondering if the pieces of the life we once shared still fit together somehow. First loves are hard to forget. The question is, do we want to forget? Or do we risk the chance and see what happens next?

There aren’t enough words to describe how I feel right now. Not enough emotive descriptions that can fully sum up the other worldly goodness of the intense, spectacular, reading experience I just had. 

Jay McLean’s books, to me, are known as McLean Masterpieces. Here’s why…

Upon picking up a McLean book, you begin a journey. A journey that steals your heart, breath, soul and mind. A journey that catapults you into another world, where you FEEL and LOVE and EXPERIENCE. Each and every McLean Masterpiece is breathtakingly beautiful. They are stories that are so enjoyable, even when your heart is being BLOWN TO PIECES. YA romance isn’t my first choice to read. But Jay McLean makes me forget that I’m reading YA, she makes me forget EVERY SINGLE thing, but the story I have in front of me. Jay McLean is the YA QUEEN. I seriously adore her, and the words that make up all her truly magnificent masterpieces. 

So LUCAS is the book that has just OWNED ME for the time it took to read. I actually felt sick at the thought of having to put it down (adulting sucks). I was CONSUMED by this book, thoroughly captivated as I read the story of Lucas and Lane. Clark and Lois. Superman and his Kryptonite. Who by the way are two of the most connected, passionate characters I’ve ever read. 

LUCAS is a story that made me FEEL EVERY EMOTION at 13% it was a story that I knew I loved. Those initial feels had started to build. At 21% those initial feels EXPLODED into butterflies that wreaked a beautiful havoc on my whole body. Being lost in the Preston world was the best thing ever, they are ridiculously charming, a family I’d be happy to be apart of. 

While reading I knew that something was going to happen, I knew that it wouldn’t be all blissful beauty and adoration at watching two best friends fall in love, which was absolutely AMAZING! The way Jay builds the relationship between Lane and Lucas is just IT. There are no real words for me to describe them to truly do them justice. They are just IT.. 

By 48% Jay had begun to squeeze my heart and burn my soul. Everything was too much but in the same way no where near enough. Everything hurt, but it was that glorious hurt, you know? 

By 70% LUCAS had already blasted its way into my top reads of 2016. I knew it would be yet another McLean Masterpiece that settled itself into my heart and never budged. It was everything but still, there was that little niggle that everything was going to well, too perfect, I was too happy. 

And at 78% Jay RIPPED THE WORLD from beneath my feet. In eight seconds, I was thrown into heartbreaking devastation, chaos and pain and damn Jay if she didn’t make me feel every damn painful missile she fired. Damn Jay for writing something so powerful, so intense, so raw, so beautiful. Damn Jay for ripping out my heart, grinding it to dust before scooping it all up and delicately putting it back together. Damn Jay for making me smile through big ugly tears. Damn Jay for writing a book that stole my breath and didn’t give it back until the very end where I released a sigh of undeniable happiness and love. 

Damn Jay for it ALL. 

LUCAS is truly breathtaking. I could literally chat for hours about how this book made me feel WAY TOO MUCH. I could talk about Lane and Lucas until my jaw ached and the other person got bored. I could live in this book and be blissfully happy. I could go on and on and tell you that you’ll love this book and such but I won’t. I’ll leave my review here, hope that some people read it and think “THAT is what I want to experience while reading a book” because like I said Lucas was a reading experience, one I’d happily go back to the beginning of and start all over again. 

Unfortunately there are only 5 stars available to add to my review. LUCAS is actually worth eleventy three, hundred thousand!

In a sprint, every millisecond counts. 

When you’re waiting for love, those milliseconds can feel like eons. 

High school senior Lucas Preston has it all: star of the track team, a scholarship waiting for him, an apartment to himself and a revolving door of girlfriends. He also has an older sister, five younger brothers and a father who relies on him to make sure those brothers don’t kill each other. 

His saving grace? Lois “Laney” Sanders, a girl he started to fall in like with when he was just eleven.

A girl who became his best friend, his confidant, his courage. 

It took only sixteen clicks and eight seconds for Lucas to realize that his like for Laney had turned into love.  

Eight life-changing seconds. 

It’s also the exact length of time it took to lose her.

Mr. President by Katy Evans

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Let us not seek the Republican answer, or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us now seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us fix our responsibility for the future.” ~John F. Kennedy

Growing up in the D.C. suburbs of Virginia, I could not help but live and breathe politics—whether I wanted to or not. Only a couple of presidents have made me feel good about America, both from opposing parties, as party has never played a big part for me compared to issues. So many candidates feed us broken promises and are all ‘smoke and mirrors.’ Somehow in the past several years, I lost faith in politics and the presidency…until I met Mr. President, a book by Katy Evans that blew me and my anti-political mind away.

I ditched my dislike for politics, opening my heart and mind fully, as I offered all of myself to Mr. President. I gave my heart and soul to this story—as if I had a choice—for it to be stolen as it sank into a world of politics, parading through everything and everywhere DC. Katy Evans wrote a mind-blowing and magical masterpiece in Mr. President, a politically-powered romance that put me on the campaign trail where I fell in love with everything politics.

From the very first page, Mr. President enraptured me as I quickly became entangled in this engaging and electric story. Politics…power…potential love?!? I was ALL IN!!! I wanted to wait…taking my time to soak up every powerful and poignant word of Mr. President. I wanted to rush…tearing through these pages like the adrenaline from this thrilling tale coursed through me. I climbed Mr. President like Mount Everest with a deep hunger, a desire so high that I did not want to come up for air. Mr. President quickly became my addiction. My ache. My adrenaline. MY ALL.

My emotions were amplified—a fusion of hope, heartbreak, and happiness—as hope was on the highest alert. Mr. President rapidly caught fire, heating me up, sending an unexpected rush as this story bled into me. The characters in Mr. President claimed me, captivated me, and catapulted me into their lives—this political whirlwind of an adventure—where I wanted to follow this president-elect on his campaign, living and breathing everything politics. This story sparked to life as magic poured from the pages, casting Mr. President in a glow as powerful as the presidency. Shortly into this intoxicating and inspiring tale, Mr. President already had my vote.

“I really hadn’t realized how much we missed a strong leader, an inspiring leader, until every time I stare at the one I want. He could make such a difference. A man like him could make such a difference.”

The gorgeous dark-haired and dark-eyed Matthew ‘Matt’ Hamilton has been the beautiful red-haired and blue-eyed Charlotte Wells’ crush since she first met him at her home along with his father, the President of the United States, when she was only eleven. While Matt was visiting, Charlotte, daughter of Senator Wells, even jokingly stated she would help the President’s son with his campaign if Matt ever ran for office. Flash forward over ten years later and Charlotte realizes her prediction may just be on its and his way to a presidency.

“He is so gorgeous I bet every woman watching wants him to father all of her babies, put those lips on nobody but her, and use those eyes to look at nobody else…This god. The Prince of America. Has decided to run for president?”

Charlotte has never stopped believing in Matt, her childhood crush and man, who as a boy, inspired her upon just one meeting. When asked to cash in on her promise with a premier spot on Matt’s campaign, Charlotte is shocked but excited to help make Matt’s dream come to life.

“Maybe I can help. I believe in him. I believe he’s better than any of the options they’ve been tossing around on TV.”

Charlotte doesn’t realize that the aura of awe she felt upon meeting Matt both at a young age and at his campaign party is mutual; Matt is smitten with this wonderful woman too.

“You can’t say Charlotte is beautiful, she’s too stunning for that. You just don’t forget a face like hers…Despite being raised as a senator’s daughter, she’s so far been untouched by political scandal…she loves the presidency—and she always has.”

Despite trying to remain professional, the chemistry is electric, on fire, burning bright like a halo of fire surrounding them. Mr. President, or America’s Panty-melting and Passionate Prince, is PURE PERFECTION. His dirty talk sparks heat that lights up the pages, the hot and heated banter between Charlotte and Matt igniting into more.

“I made your nipples hard that day at the campaign kick-off too.”

“Oh wow. Well my nipples weren’t the only things getting hard that day, I’d say.”

“You don’t know the half of it.”

A current crashes through the air, circling them like a cloud of dust, an attraction that’s becoming too powerful to ignore. An attraction deeper than looks; one that delves straight to the soul.

“Matt…looks at me. Just looks at me. So intently and like he can see everything that I am, have ever been, and ever will be.”

Their friendship is raw and real, a friendship catching fire, one where hopefully they won’t get burned. I want this couple, connected by fate, to cross that friendship line. They are perfect together with similar backgrounds and opportunists wanting to make America greater.

“Every thought in my head scatters to nothing when he swoops down and takes my mouth with his. Everything falls away.”

I felt that intense kiss surge from the story straight to me. Oh my wow! Charlotte has no choice to surrender to this passion that permeates between Matt and her, pouring off the pages where I felt this passion too.

“I look forward to having a major hard-on the day you call me Mr. President.”

“I groan when her breath catches, getting one last taste of her and one last feel of her sex clenching around my finger as I drive it inside. I’m playing with fire and I don’t care.”

The kiss is fueled by the flames, creating an inferno that once ignited, may create a forever burn. Chemistry entrenched by fate…always there…unbreakable…unstoppable.

“I breathe to help him win—even if that means I won’t ever, ever feel his arms around me like this…He belongs to America now. He always has. I need to stop this before we get in too deep…to the point of no return.”

Winning will take everything. Winning can’t afford distractions. Winning means keeping your head in the presidency game. Despite a friendship and fireworks fused by fate, the relationship must stop before it really started. Matt needs to focus on the presidency sans scandals, and Charlotte doesn’t want to be the scandal to stop this amazing man from becoming this nation’s leader, a shining star that the country needs to become brighter.

Katy Evans’ Mr. President penetrated my heart, hijacking it…hijacking me. My heart pounded out of my chest. I was a prisoner to these passionate pages that pounded that passion straight to me…through me. Intoxicating and incredible, I could not help but become besotted with this book that blasted big dreams through me. I FELL HARD. I FELL FAST. I FELL IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING MR. PRESIDENT.

Mr. President is so much more than a politically-powered romance; it’s hope for the future of America. Mr. President should be every president’s bible. If every president could be non-partisan and positive like Matt Hamilton, voting would be a seamless. Matt Hamilton, while a fictional president, should be real, a model for every campaign and one that would make America’s forefathers beam with pride.

“For years the public has come to believe every promise made by every candidate has been pure bulls**t. Nobody believes in them anymore. Politics has been totally tainted by propaganda…America wants a change. America wants to grow. America wants to be young and powerful again.”

In a story that’s so much more than its title, Mr. President bled a passion for politics that penetrated the anti-political me, making me believe again. Mr. President is about dreaming big. Mr. President is about positive and passionate politics full of promise, something lost decades ago in our great country. I was rendered breathless at times in this book that’s a breath of fresh air—so full of life—as Mr. President is full of passion, power and possibility.

Katy Evans painted Mr. President to perfection in a book that’s sheer brilliance from beginning to end. How can you not love a gorgeous alpha who is the perfect mix of panty-melting and passionate who happens to be running for president? How can you not admire a beautiful gal from inside-out whose passion for the presidency is bigger than life? How can you not love a book that makes you dare to dream about politics that are pure and positive? MR. PRESIDENT IS EVERYTHING!!!

SO MUCH GOODNESS. SO MUCH PASSION. SO MUCH PERFECTION. I can’t wait for Mr. President to continue captivating and claiming me. I VOTE YES TO MR. PRESIDENT…AGAIN AND AGAIN.

★★★★★ 5 ‘but worth 10’ politically-powered and passionate stars

He’s won the hearts of millions. But is he willing to lose his?

I met the president’s son when we were both young. Matthew Hamilton was handsome, polished, and intelligent. I’d never met a guy like him.

He promised me that he’d never run for president. I promised that if he did, I’d be by his side.

Three terms later, an invitation to join Matthew Hamilton’s campaign is the most exhilarating opportunity I’ve ever experienced. I’m determined to make a difference; he is determined to win.

Focused on his goal, Matt is steadfast, ruthless, and disarming. All eyes are on him and his popularity is surging. But soon, the next possible president of the United States is possessing me in more ways than one—and despite the risks, I’m helpless to resist.

We’re stealing touches, stealing moments, and stealing away at night. But our chemical connection is quickly becoming dangerously combustive, putting not only my heart, but Matt’s chance at the presidency on the line.

Winning will take everything. Walking away will be the hardest thing of all.
