Review – Relentless River: Men of Mercy by Lindsay Cross


My rating is 5 out of 5 stars
I absolutely love this series and that includes this book. Bo is one seriously moody alpha and Cheri is a strong willed and stubborn woman. Together they are one stubbornly hot couple.
Cheri has moved to a small town with her cousin Lamont. She considers him the only family she has left. Lamont protected her from her abusive father. She manages the only bar in town, and those nights can sometimes get quite out of hand. Cheri has eyes for Bo but also has the hots for Riser. If Bo is going to continue ignoring her, she will use Riser to make him jealous.


Bo is a former marine turned Sheriff of his small town. He has certain tastes in the bedroom so he doesn’t just take anyone to his bed. He can’t keep his mind of the hot red head, Cheri, but he doesn’t do attachments. He wants a simple hook up and that’s it. His past holds him back from love.
This book has non-stop action that will keep you on your toes. Once Cheri and Bo finally gave into their desires, the chemistry is off the charts. Bo can’t help but fall in love with the little minx that weasled her way into his heart.



He was Ice.

Sheriff Bo Lawson was everything a retired Marine Special Operations Operator should be. Cold. Calculating. Calm in all situations. He handled terrorists and too drunk locals without blinking, until a couple of dead bodies show up in his small town, throwing his controlled environment into chaos.
She was fire.

Cheri Boudreaux, manager of the local bar, lives her life by one rule – work hard and play harder. The last thing she needs is a repeat of her father: a strict stick-in-the-mud unable to veer from the rules. Then she meets Bo, a walking, talking sex god in uniform and her preconceived notions incinerate.
Ice meets fire.

Bo craves order. He craves control. He craves a red head with a wild streak wider than the Mississippi. She is everything he despises, but can’t get off his mind. So, when Cheri needs help, he wants to be her knight in shining armor.
Threatened by a deadly foe neither of them could predict, Bo and Cheri clash in an uncontrollable inferno. When the truth is revealed, their world falls apart – can they find the strength to fight for each other or will their newfound love fall under a relentless tide of evil?

Review – Trigger by L.P. Dover

trigger-cover

Trigger by L.P. Dover

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Light is easy to love. Show me your darkness.” ~R. Queen

When I first saw that L.P. Dover was shaking things up with a romantic suspense or dark romance, I could not help but get excited! I love dark reads as much as I adore swoon-filled stories. Trigger is the latest sensation by L.P. Dover, a delicious dive into danger and darkness, and MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK BY THIS AUTHOR!

Trigger, like its name, was FAST AND FURIOUS. This riveting romance was a rush, a raging inferno of intensity where I could not turn the pages fast enough. Energy flowed through me like electricity where I could not help but be engaged. The powerful and perilous plot kept me highly tuned and trembling with anticipation. I WAS THOROUGHLY EXCITED, ENGAGED, AND ELECTRIFIED!

Preston Hale is gorgeous, muscular, tall, dark haired and grey-eyed…and also a killer. 

“Killing was an addiction I couldn’t let go.”

trigger-teaser

Known as Trigger, this modern day vigilante rids the streets of the most sinister criminals. This Dark Knight is badass and beautiful, a mix of dark and light who has been to hell and back, surfacing stronger than ever. 

“I didn’t give a f**k what people thought. I did what I had to do.”

trigger-teaser-2

Killing has become his addiction…his high…his drug. 

“It shouldn’t make someone happy to kill another being, but I craved it.”

Until his high before he started killing, Emily ‘Emma’ Turner came back into his life. The beautiful blonde and blue-eyed woman was Preston’s best friend in college, back when life was much simpler…back when he was more light than dark.

“A need sparked deep inside of me. And for the first time in a long time, it wasn’t the need to kill. No, this ran bone deep. I ached to touch her skin, to mark her as my own.”

trigger-teaser-4

Emma never forgot the boy, and now very much a man, who she loved in college and still holds her heart today. When their paths cross years later, Preston and Emma still feel the combustive chemistry like during those college years. 

“I threw my arms around his neck and pulled him down into a soul-searing kiss, pressing my lips achingly hard against his…He groaned into my mouth, his arms holding me so tight I could barely breathe.”

I felt that kiss, the passion pressing into me from the pages, the kiss that tugged on my heart.

“We can’t do this. If you’re smart, you’ll stay the hell away from me.”

Emma’s love for Preston never died, but this is not the same man who was sweet in college. This man is rough and raw…dark and dangerous…but Emma still can’t help but care for Preston. She’s determined to shine some light into his dark heart, bring back the Preston she knew and loved like no other. 

“The Preston I fell in love years ago is still inside you.”

“He doesn’t exist anymore.”

I LOVED Preston, this melt-worthy man of many layers who walks on the edge of darkness but whose heart is pure gold. Preston protects those he loves and risks everything to be their dark hero. Oh what a hero he is who became my hero in this thrilling tale too!!!

Trigger is one deliciously dark and dangerous read, a drug that you need to devour! Trigger ignites with intensity in a tale that wrapped me in a blanket of darkness while, at the same time, slowly showered me with light. This pulse-pounding page-turner kept me on edge, emotions entangled as my heart raced out of my chest. I FELT THIS HIGH, this delicious drug of a story, where I was addicted and aching for more. I still need MORE.

★★★★★ fast and furious stars

synopsis.jpg

A killer . . . that’s what I am.
It’s what I do.
It’s what I live for.
I’m no longer the Preston Hale everyone knew. I left that life and the people in it a long time ago the second I made my first kill. I wasn’t going to give in, but when I heard the screams there was no going back.
It triggered the pain, the need.
I knew what I had to do, and I did it well. But I never expected for Emma Turner – the only link to my past – to come back into my life.
She triggers a different emotion inside me, something I hadn’t ever felt.
It’s not a want to kill . . . but a need to CLAIM.

excerpt

When I got downstairs to the dining room, Glenn and Wade were already there, speaking to each other in hushed tones by the large window. There were shiny plates on the table, with all sorts of silverware around them. Start from the outside and work your way in, was what I was told when it came to using the various forks and spoons. Give me just one of each and I’d be happy.

It wasn’t long before Glenn noticed me at the door and the conversation ceased. “Emma, you look lovely tonight,” he announced.

I smiled. “Thank you.”

He beckoned me over to the table and Wade held out a seat for me. I sat down and he took the one on the right, while Glenn sat on my left at the head of the table. There was only one other place setting and it was across from me.

“Wine?” Glenn asked, holding up the bottle.

I nodded. “Sure.”

He poured me a glass and I took a sip. It tasted like heaven, all fruity and crisp. It was so good I had to take another sip, and another, while we waited on the special guest. Not even a minute later, the dining room door opened and a man walked in. Only, he wasn’t just anyone.

It’d been eight years and he’d surely changed, but there was no mistaking those gray eyes. His hair was the same light brown, and mussed up like all the guys did their hair these days. However, his body looked totally different. His cream colored, long-sleeve sweater hugged a set of muscular arms, and his face was more rugged, covered in a five o’clock shadow.

I almost choked on my wine. “Oh my God.” Is it really him?

“Emma, are you okay?” Wade asked, his voice low.

“Yeah,” I whispered. “I’m fine.”

I waited for Preston to look at the table, and when his gaze finally caught mine, he paused for a slight second. In his face, I could see the friend I lost so long ago, but it vanished quickly.

Glenn and Wade both stood when Preston approached, and I shot up out of my seat, bumping the table with my jerky movements. Glenn grinned at me and then at Preston. “Preston Hale, I’d like you to meet Emma Turner. She’s my assistant. Emma, this is Preston Hale, a close family friend. His father is one of my dearest friends.”

 Preston held out his hand and looked at me as if he’d never laid eyes on me before. “It’s nice to meet you.”

Was he being serious? I shook his hand and made sure to put a little extra squeeze in there for good measure. “Meet me? Surely, you remember who I am.”

Glenn’s eyes went wide. “Wait. You two already know each other?”

I nodded. “From college.” I was about to add before he up and left without a trace, but thought better of it.

Glenn chuckled and smacked a hand on Preston’s shoulder. “Well, isn’t this a small world? You’ll have to tell me some stories on this one.” He nodded my way.

Preston’s jaw clenched. “Can’t. Don’t remember her.”

My mouth dropped open; it was like being punched in the gut and slapped in the face, all at the same time. No words would come out, so I sat there with a lump in my throat. In college, he’d been a close friend. I sang with him in his band, Silent Break. We connected on stage in a way I’d never felt with anyone. I cared about him, and had even been ready to take the next step in our relationship right before he up and disappeared. I never got to tell him how I felt. Now he looked at me as if I was a stranger.

The room fell silent. I wanted to say something, but I bit my tongue. It was going to be the longest dinner of my life.

Review – How Sweet It Is by Janelle Denison

how-sweet-it-is-cover

review-graphic

Oh what a sweet read this was!

Rebecca Moore had sacrificed so much in her life to see to her sister Celeste’s happiness after the loss of their mother when she was sixteen and Celeste a mire ten years old. She took on the responsbility of mother, care giver, and head of household when their irresponsible father tended to shy away from his duty to pay the bills and keep a roof over their heads. Those years shaped and solidified Rebecca’s opinion of what she wanted in life and in a man – stability, strength, steadiness. Spencer Bassett was no where near what she wanted in a man. He played video games for a living, was the carefree playboy and was six years younger than she was. No way could be have him… but boy, did she want him.

Spencer Bassett wasn’t going to give up on what he wanted – and he wanted Rebecca. He has always wanted her. The attraction between them was undeniable. He watched her give everything to her sister and now he wants to give her everything – fun, spontaneity, security. Love. He knows his time to convince Rebecca is short. He only has the weekend of Celeste’s wedding to show her that he’s the one for her.

This was such a fun, flirty but oh so steamy read! Spencer is sexy, funny and just plain yummy. For all that she’s done Rebecca is admirable, feisty and determined. It was so nice to see her just… give in and let go.

Wonderful afternoon read and perfect for Valentine’s Day! Grab this one!

synopsis.jpg

Practical, sensible Rebecca Moore doesn’t do playboys, especially ones like sexy, wealthy Spencer Bassett, even if he makes her want to do very naughty things with him. But when a weekend away at her sister’s wedding puts them in close proximity, Spencer doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of the undeniable attraction between them. Seducing Rebecca is his goal—with hot, steamy kisses, decadent chocolates, and sensual nights in his bed.

Rebecca is certain this is only a weekend fling, but Spencer is determined to win her over for good by showing her just how sweet it is.

Review- The Do-Over by Julie Richman


My rating is 6 out of 5 stars.

What a book. I had been anticipating this book for quite some time and it was pure perfection. Julie will take you on an emot rollercoaster ride of love, loss, and second chances. I would recommend not reading it in public because I did and I looked like a loon. One second I was laughing and then crying feeling like my heart was ripped out. Exceptional job Julie. By the end, my heart was so full and all I could do was smile. 


Wes and Tara have an Instant connection but are just at the wrong place in life. After meeting on a cruise and spending an entire night talking, they part without saying goodbye. Over a decade later, they meet again. This time its work related. Tara gets the opportunity for a do over and there is o my one thing standing in her way, a one night affair with none other than Wes’s best friend. 


Wes and Tara have so many obstacles to overcome but through it all, they realize that they belong together. Such an amazing and emotional read. Excellent job as always Julie.



The Do-Over, an all-new emotional, second chance STANDALONE romance by Julie A. Richman is now LIVE!!
~ Sometimes, one degree is all that separates you from the one you were meant to be with. ~
Wes Bergman was sex on a stick.
We’d been circling one another our entire lives, mingling at the same clubs… attending the same events…sharing mutual acquaintances…yet we’d never actually met.
Until . . .  we both boarded a Windjammer Cruise in the Caribbean. And it was like meeting my long, lost best friend for the first time. I hadn’t ever connected with a guy that way before.

But Wes had a girlfriend. So, when the week was over, he walked off the ship, unknowingly taking a piece of my heart with him.
Now, over a decade later, newly divorced, I’m the proverbial fish out of water. Dating has totally changed. Apps. Swipe left. Swipe right. Catfishing. Men my age want two things: twenty-five-year-olds—like my ex’s new child bride of a wife—or just a quick hook-up.
After a string of bad dates, I finally did something I never thought I’d do. I had a hot one-night stand with a really handsome guy I met online who didn’t even know my real name.
Turned out Mr. Fling is a big shot for my company’s newest client. And just my

 luck, that client’s CEO is none other than . . . Wes Bergman.

Now I’m separated by one degree again from the man who stole my heart.

And Mr. Fling could destroy my chance of what I want most –
A Do-Over with Wes.

Excerpt: 
His hand slowly stroking up and down the outside of my thigh is what roused me from my dream state. It was so soft and tender that I was getting more and more turned on with every movement. With my eyes still closed, I enjoyed the sensation.  It wasn’t until his lips started brushing my shoulder, that I was unable to stifle a moan, revealing that I was awake.

“Good morning,” his whisper was hoarse.

“Mmm, good morning.” I stretched my body against his and turned my head to see his face hovering over mine, before our lips met.

“Sleep good?”

“Surprisingly, I did. I was so exhausted. Sorry for passing out on you last night,” I apologized.

“I think we both passed out the moment our heads hit the pillows.” Wes’ hand had migrated from my thigh to my stomach, where he softly drew circles with his fingertips.

Rolling over to face him, I pushed my hair out of the way, silently praying my humidity enhanced curls didn’t make me look like a deranged housewife, scaring the erection right out of the man. Slinging a leg over his thigh, I instantly got my answer. The crazy morning coif was not a cock killer. Thank God!

“You’re a morning person, I see.” Hiding my smile was not a possibility.

“Yeah, I am,” Wes laughed, moving closer to me, his eyes filled with the unmistakable desire to become lovers, something I’d dreamed about on the deck of a windjammer long ago.

“You can wake me up like this anytime.” I needed to let him know it was okay. He’d said he’d take it as slow as I wanted it and what I wanted right now was a slow rhythm of him plowing into me. Hard.

“Are you hard to wake up?” He was pressed up against me.

“I think you’ll figure out the secrets to rousing me.”

“You’ve already figured out the secrets to arousing me.” His voice still had that sexy edge of morning roughness to it, making me want to skip all foreplay and have him inside me.

“I’ll bet you have a few more secrets I can discover,” I said against his lips, as I shifted the leg I had slung over him, pressing my heat and wetness against his already throbbing cock.

Wes groaned and I could feel his smile against my lips. “You know you’re going to make it impossible to make slow, sweet love to you.”

“Good, because I don’t want it slow and sweet.”

Wes flipped me onto my back, “I can easily accommodate your wishes. Are you on anything or do I need to…”

“We’re good,” I assured him.

“Yes, we are.” He kissed my neck, then swiftly pulled my tank top over my head tossing it to the floor. “We’re going to be really good together. Of that, I have no doubt.”

And I knew he was right. Being with this man had been so perfect from the night we met. We meshed with ease and the result was pure joy.

The warmth in his eyes and smile made my breath catch, and in that moment, I was flooded with overwhelming emotion at how much I wanted him. How much I’d always wanted him. It was more than lust, beyond the heat of the moment. Wes Bergman was the man I had always wanted, from the night we met. That was clear to me now.

“I vote we skip the foreplay.” I wriggled out of my underwear.

“You’re on.” His smile told me he was taking on the challenge.

“You’re in,” I gasped, my breath catching in my throat, surprised at the swiftness with which he filled my request.

Review – Before The Lie by KD Robichaux

before-the-lie

review-graphic

I was stunned from the first page. Vi and Corbin had me…. there was no way I couldn’t see this through to the end. I never saw this coming, and I am still so speechless.

This love story… this insta-love between one incredibly alpha Army specialist and one very shy high school senior. This was nothing like I expected. It was so much more. It was true love at first sight that I felt. It was red hot chemistry. The devil and his beautiful angel. Corbin was a young man with a tough past. A trouble maker, a criminal… someone with dark desires. Vi was an innocent girl who only found peace when she was rock climbing. But she never felt anything like the desire she felt the moment she laid eyes on Corbin. He wanted to protect her. Possess her… love her. She wanted to belong to him and only him. To be loved by him and to love only him.

Their relationship grew, strengthened and survived the rigours of deployments. It was everything that they had hoped it would be. Maybe even better. But as the title suggests, things change. The end of BTL is so gut wrenching… and even though I knew it was coming, I wasn’t ready for the punch to my heart the last words of the story gave me.

Steamy, sexy, angsty… moments when I laughed soo hard I cried! Kayla has written a beautiful tale of love and loss, passion and heartbreak. I confess I was captivated by Vi and Corbin. I was consumed by their story, and I freely admit I have begged Kayla to please, please, PLEASE HURRY UP with Truth Revealed. Their story is so far from over.

FANTASTIC, Kayla!

It was love at first sight.

Not just for me, but for Corbin as well.

Our eyes locked across the room, and that was all she wrote.

But we didn’t rush things.

We wanted to do it right.

After all, we would spend the rest of our lives together.

The love of my life.

My soul mate.

He was the intense and fiercely protective soldier,

and I was his doting and faithful lover.

I found my happily ever after.

This was our story…

KD Robichaux wanted to be a romance author since the first time she picked up her mom’s Sandra Brown books at the ripe old age of twelve. She went to college to become a writer, but then married and had babies. Putting her dream job on hold to raise her family as a stay at home mom, who read entirely too much, she created a blog where she could keep her family and friends up-to-date on all the hottest reads. From there, by word of mouth, her blog took off and she began using her hard-earned degree as a Senior Editor for Hot Tree Editing. When her kids started school, and with the encouragement from her many author friends, she finally sat down and started working on her first series, The Blogger Diaries, her very own real life romance.

Review – Hard Boss by Luke Steel

Hard Boss by Luke Steel


Okay! LISTEN UP! First of all I must discuss this cover! Because OMG….THIS FREAKING COVER….

I mean, HOLY HOT ABS! THOSE HANDS! THAT WATCH! *shivers* If that doesn’t draw you to think book then, well, I don’t know what will? Oh… wait, maybe I do. 

Yep here’s another reason….

THIS BOOK IS EFFIN’ FANTASTIC! 

Hard Boss is a sexy, quick, dirty read that just took my breath away. Now, I’m not usually one for posting five star reviews on ‘shorter’ books. Why? I like my books with more meat in them, but this? 

Well this had meat, it had grit, it had a rawness, it had intensity, it had heart and it well and truly worked it’s way into mine. Luke Steel, where have you been? Hard Boss is an fantastic debut! 

From start to finish I swooned over Dominic and I must admit I got really hot for Dominic. I ADORED Lucy! She too was crazy hot. If high-fiving a character was a possibility, I’d high-five her! From their initial meet to their end they sizzled and popped with an intense, fiery connection. And despite the length of Hard Boss I never once felt rushed or disconnected, from the story or them. And had it been longer, I’d have loved it even more! 

Hard Boss is a dirty, delicious read. It’s HOT **fans self** and heartwarming. It’s passion and love. It’s everything, wrapped up in a mouth watering package. I loved it. Luke Steel…WRITE MORE. I NEED MORE!



I’m as hard as they come. No one can unravel me. And then SHE came along…

Lucy was supposed to be like every other assistant out there—quiet, skilled at predicting my needs, and definitely not a walking distraction. How can she make it so hard to focus on my work? I hate it.

And I hate how much I want her.

Worse, no matter how I try to scare her off with my crisp attitude, she stands up to me. Her backbone is turning me on as much as catching her bending over the desk, skirt stretched over her thighs.

Dammit.

She shouldn’t get close to me. No one should.

So why am I taking her to dinner?

And why am I tying her down to my bed, making her shiver and moan?

Lucy might ruin what’s left of my heart…

Unless I ruin her first.

Review – Sexual Encounter by LK Collins

sexual-encounter-2

review-graphic

Dirty mouthed.
Sexy as sin.
All alpha.
Deliciously devious… but for all the right reasons.

Oh, Jett Jordan… you have slayed me, and it was so good! This was quick, dirty insta-love at it’s finest. Jett and Natalie are just… amazing.

Jett Jordan is a first class high end divorce attorney. He has seen the worst come out in people in his line of work. He’s experienced that pain in his own personal life. Never would he give his heart to someone only to have it trampled and crushed when things went south. Nothing could shake him… until Natalie Valero entered his office. She’s the wife of his client and from the moment he saw her, she shook him to his core. He would stop at nothing to have her. He wasn’t above dirty tricks, dirty tactics or dirty words in his quest to make her his.

Natalie has never met anyone like Jett. She has never been so moved, so turned on by someone. The instant attraction and the feeling of protection from him. She hadn’t felt this way… ever. Years spent in a horribly abusive marriage and now that husband was trying his best to railroad her and take away her most cherished memories. She never would have guessed that the handsome and alluring oppposing counsel would be so instrumental in changing the course of her life after her divorce.

This was such a fun, naughty read! Quick and sexy insta-love… one hot alpha and the woman who was his match on all levels. Natalie tilted Jett’s world on its axis, while Jett showed Natalie what a real relationship with him could look like. Swoony and satisfying… sexy and sinful. A great afternoon read!

FANTASTIC, LK!

Five Insta-Love Stars!

ropes-live

synopsis.jpg

I’m not supposed to want Natalie Valero, not the way my body does, in every consumable way possible. But from the moment I laid eyes on her, I craved her like never before.

As I sit across the table from her, listening to all the disrespectful things her husband—my client—is saying to her, I can’t help wanting to protect her.
It makes me want to wipe her tears away.
To show her how a real man speaks.
The only way I’d ever make her cry is begging me for more.
But it’ll never happen.
Natalie is off limits to me; a line any lawyer knows you don’t cross.

But fuck does my cock want to.

Maybe just once—maybe…

Sexual Encounter is the first book in a three-book mini-series of standalone reads, all of which have an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger—just panty-melting hotness.

Review-Healing The Broken by K. Street



My rating is 5 out 5 stars

While reading this book, it was easy tof forget this is the authors debut book. She absolutely nailed it. I fell, and I fell hard. There was the perfect mix of angst, passion, heartbreak, hurt, and devotion. 


Healing The Broken is definitely a perfect title for this book. Ryann has a past that would tear even the strongest of people to their knees. She has been dealt blow after blow since she was a small child. There’s only one man whose ever made her feel safe. Cash loves this woman with such intensity but must break down her walls. He is determined to make her feel safe and secure in his arms.


The journey these two take is one that will consume you from the beginning to the end. Cash is definitely the perfect man. This is a book that you absolutely must read.

Strength is born during the moments that are meant to break us.

Monsters didn’t just exist in nightmares. 

They were real; they lived among us. As the sole witness to a brutal murder, Ryann Sinclair knew that better than anyone.

He’d been burned once, and Cashel Donovan swore it was the last time. 

Until Ryann Sinclair walked back into his life. 

She was fiercely protective of her heart, and he was hell-bent on protecting her. 

Never one to back down from a challenge, he was determined to break her.

Just so he could be the one to put her back together.

Review – Talk Dirty to Me by Lulu Wright

Talk Dirty to Me by Lulu Wright

sophiereview.jpg

Talk Dirty To Me, is a sinful, sexy and intense journey through past, present and future. Lulu Wright penned this novel with such truth and raw power that just fights to encase the reader. It took me longer than I’d have liked to finish this book, unfortunately life got in the way and delayed my progress, despite that though I was DESPERATE to get back into Rose and Mark’s world. To revel in the oozing sexual tension that just BURNS throughout this whole story.

In all honesty, I didn’t fully connect to Rose straight away, something about her just didn’t click, I can’t say what but it was there. But as the story progressed, Lulu did an amazing job at making Rose one kick ass, sassy, sexy character. Her snark and wit were hilarious and on multiple occasions I wanted to high five her for her one liners.

Being a Brit, I struggle with fully understanding Baseball, but if Mark Carrington is out there and real and offering baseball lessons then SIGN ME UP! This extraordinary man was written to perfection. From the first meeting, sparks started flying FOR ME, never mind between the characters. Mark was alpha, bad-boy, fit sportsman, all the things that tick all my boxes. As the story want on Mark turned out to be everything and more, underneath all that ruggedness was a sensational swoon worthy man that gave me butterflies.

What really stands out during Talk Dirty To Me, as I’ve mentioned was the undeniable connection Mark and Rose have, it’s believable and easy to follow. Despite the first half of the book sizzling with angsty sexual tension that connection only builds and builds. The added sports background, rock/alt music, and second chance romance aspects made this a book I couldn’t get enough of.

Talk Dirty to me was flawless, exciting, enjoyable and I fell in love with it all!

synopsis.jpg

Mark Carrington already broke my heart once.

This sexy, temperamental playboy might dominate the major leagues, but there’s no way in hell I’m letting him play ball with my heart again.

Until I find myself facing him down every morning on our new radio show, and his undeniable hotness starts to break down my resistance–and almost erase all the memories of how he dumped me back in high school.

We’ve both grown up since then, and now Mark is even more gorgeous and infuriating than ever. But I can’t get away from him–not when my beloved alternative rock station depends on his sexy ass to avoid getting bought out by a greedy corporation.

But when he corners me in the production room to compliment my sexy radio voice and admire my David Bowie T-shirt, it’s all I can do to keep my clothes on and my hands off of him. So I don’t.

And the more I get to know him, the more I realize he’s hiding a big heart behind all that swagger. And the deeper we get, the deeper I fall.

Review – The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan

The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Meeting you was fate. Becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control.”~Unknown

Books are like love. We get lost in them. We feel them. We experience them. We are under their spell. Kendall Ryan’s latest rom-com, The Room Mate, cast me under its spell where I had no choice but to succumb to this SINFULLY SEXY and SWOON-FILLED STORY.

Second-chance romances or ones where lovers were childhood friends are my love…my heart…my soul…my weakness; The Room Mate was my KRYPTONITE. This kryptonite was one I could not consume fast enough. I ate up this captivating and combustible story like chocolate cake. Oh was The Room Mate rich in EVERYTHING DELICIOUS!

I fell in INSTA-LOVE with The Room Mate, a friends-to-lovers romance with a potent potion of humor, heat, and heart. It didn’t take long for my body to blaze in burning heat as I alternated lighting up with lust and laughter like fire. The Room Mate was a forceful flame, the fire that ignited and intoxicated every part of me. This inferno, The Room Mate, smoldered from sex to soul. I was caught and claimed. I was smitten and seduced. I WAS ALL IN.

Cannon Roth…JUST WOW!!! That name alone?!? HOLY HOT!!! Add the hot name Cannon to the doctor profession and Doctor Roth is just as amazing! OH YES!!! This Cannon is sex-on-a-stick smoldering with his dark ‘bed head’ hair, piercing green eyes, an over 6’3” tall and muscular ‘Roman Statue’ body, deliciously dirty mouth, and sweetness in spades. Hot Cannon name + doctor + perfect looks + perfect personality = PURE PERFECTION! I LOVED THIS CANNON-BALL WHO IS MINE…MINE…MINE…MINE!!!

A difficult living situation has Cannon needing a place to say so when his sister suggests her best friend, Paige, who also happens to be Cannon’s childhood crush, he jumps on the opportunity and maybe it will end with him jumping her. From longtime friends to room-mates, Cannon is challenged to stay in the friend zone with the gorgeous, blonde, blue-eyed, and curvy Paige, his long-time friend, sister’s best friend, girl of his teenage fantasies, and now woman of his dreams.

“Are you here to lend a hand, princess?” “You can touch it if you want?”

The mouth on this Adonis of a man is a cannon indeed, so deliciously dirty and decadent. Cannon is the fire to Paige’s ice, and, for once, this cool and collected gal wouldn’t mind being reckless…getting burned. Burn is what I did…with every penetrating and passionate page.

“I wanted to sin. Wanted to push myself beyond the safe little bubble I lived inside day in and day out.”

the-room-mate-teaser-4

After a string of psycho gals who fall in love after Cannon’s cannon fires into them, this gorgeous guy is convinced that he is the magic machine that make all women fall in love with the Cannon-ball. Paige doesn’t buy the spin he’s selling, but knows the anaconda he’s rockin’ is the real deal. She challenges Cannon to test out his tempting theory on her plus a few bites and blazes to the lady bits won’t hurt either.

“So you really believe that after sleeping with you one time, women fall in love with you?”

GAME. ON. Cannon is ready to fulfill his teenage fantasy who has suddenly come to life. Cannon was my fantasy come to life.

“His hot mouth fused over mine, kissing me deeply. He tasted of whiskey and desire.”

 

Oh how Cannon and Paige’s friendship is full of sparks that are ready to ignite into a firestorm. Their chemistry sizzled and was even more powerful since it’s mixed with friendship…spice and nice. Passion poured from pages to me, as I BURNED FOR THIS BOOK!

“When I f**k you with my tongue, there will be no holding back from either of us.”

The doctor is in…indeed! I smoldered, those involuntary thigh clenches in full swing! Dr. McDreamy delivers the goods…one big package that he works like a pro to deliver the big O. The Room Mate turned me into a minx!

“I’ve wanted you for ten years, Paige.”

the-room-mate-teaser-3

Oh how this game was on fire! Sparks sprinkled with swoon and oh did I SWOON from Cannon’s sweet words!!!

“I love you, princess. Always have. Always will.”

I melted into a pool of goo all over the pages. Paige can’t let Cannon get closer because she can’t be responsible for ruining the doctor-in-training’s residency…his career…his life.

“He was the realest, best, brightest thing in my world, and I hated that we would never be more.”

Paige won’t be the one to hold the dreamy doctor-in-residency back from his dream though what she doesn’t realize is that she is Cannon’s dream.

“You want to know what I want, princess?”

“I want you like this, every day for the rest of my life.”

 

Oh did Dr. McDreamy’s words of sweetness and swoon shot stars in my eyes and butterflies in my belly. This man is the ultimate hero and one of my all-time favorites to blaze books. I left this story on a high, as words of smolder and swoon shot through me like a cannon, a high I did not want to leave.

The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan is FRIENDSHIP CAUGHT ON FIRE, a spellbinding story that burns from body to soul. Oh did I blaze and burn while my heart pounded with every page! This story not only melts with molten heat and drips with honey-coated sweetness, The Room Mate radiates with love and life! The Room Mate is a thigh-clenching, body-burning, and passion-penetrating romance but SO MUCH MORE. It’s a story about LIFE AND LIVING. It’s about taking that LEAP OF FAITH and LIVING FOR THE MOMENT. Oh did I live for this mesmerizing moment!

“Sometimes there are no second chances. It’s now or never.”

Kendall Ryan has written a love story that is LITERARY PERFECTION. The Room Mate is my new FAVORITE Kendall Ryan rom-com! The Room Mate is creative and captivating writing at its finest: fresh, fun, flirty, feel-worthy, and fabulous. I LOVED this tantalizing and tender tale so much! This second-chance, childhood friends-to-lovers romance was EVERYTHING! The Room Mate is a gem that shines bright, and I’m not done basking in the glow of this sparkly story full of sweetness and spice just yet.

4.5 heart-melting stars

synopsis.jpg

The last time I saw my best friend’s younger brother, he was a geek wearing braces. But when Cannon shows up to crash in my spare room, I get a swift reality check.

Now twenty-four, he’s broad shouldered and masculine, and so sinfully sexy, I want to climb him like the jungle gyms we used to enjoy. At six-foot-something with lean muscles hiding under his T-shirt, a deep sexy voice, and full lips that pull into a smirk when he studies me, he’s pure temptation.

Fresh out of a messy breakup, he doesn’t want any entanglements. But I can resist, right?

I’m holding strong until the third night of our new arrangement when we get drunk and he confesses his biggest secret of all: he’s cursed when it comes to sex. Apparently he’s a god in bed, and women instantly fall in love with him.

I’m calling bullshit. In fact, I’m going to prove him wrong, and if I rack up a few much-needed orgasms in the process, all the better.

There’s no way I’m going to fall in love with Cannon. But once we start…I realize betting against him may have been the biggest mistake of my life.
