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.

The Only One: A One Love Novella by Lauren Blakely

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“And when one of them meets the other half, the other half of himself, whether he be a lover of youth or a lover of another sort, the pair are lost in an amazement of love and friendship and intimacy and one will not be out of the other’s site, as I may say, even for a moment.” ~Plato

Maybe it’s because my favorite candies are caramels.

Maybe it’s because of soft spot for second-chance romances.

Maybe it’s because of my mad love for Lauren Blakely books.

No…not maybe at all…but YES!!! YES to the caramels! YES to this swoon-filled and soul-slaying second-chance romance! YES to another Lauren Blakely brilliant and blissful book! YES to The Only One YES! YES! YES!

There is something special about second-chance love that 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 obsession; The Only One was my magic…my heart…my soul…my swoon…MY KRYPTONITE.

The Only One sparked to life as magic poured from the pages, shining in beauty and brilliance like a diamond. Oh that SPARK! The Only One had ALL OF THE SPARK…ALL OF HEART…ALL OF THE SOUL. All of MY heart. All of MY soul.

Ten years ago beautiful Penelope, Penny, met a gorgeous man, Gabriel, while traveling in Spain. They had a once-in-a-lifetime, passionate and powerful love affair with combustible chemistry and a connection of soul mates.

“My three-day love affair under the starry Spanish sky with the man who whispered sweet nothings in my ear while he played my body like a virtuoso piano isn’t getting a second act.”

Penny is reunited with her first and only love, Gabriel, through a chance meeting in New York when a work function brings them together. After a decade she is going to meet the man who still holds her heart.

“The twenty-four guy who dazzled me when I gave him my virginity a decade ago has nothing on this man in front of me. He’s as beautiful as a heartbreak.”

Oh beautiful is this man from inside out, and oh did Gabriel grab my heart and melt me from inside out! I LOVED GABRIEL SOOO MUCH!

“I have to believe in fate, too. Do you? Believe in fate?”

Oh Gabriel! His words were poetry that penetrated through my heart like Cupid’s arrows.

Gabriel sees the stunning woman in front of him who reminds him of his Penelope, the one he loved and lost when she left in Spain, the woman who still holds his heart.

There is no way Penny can resist Gabriel’s gorgeous looks, charm, sweetness, and passion. Feelings flow to the surface after being dormant for a decade.

“Perhaps the ice I had thought had encased my heart when it came to this man is breaking.”

Oh the angst that aired bled into this book with as much fervor as the love lingering in the air.

“My lips brush hers, and the world stills. For the briefest second, I don’t want to move. All I want to do is savor this sliver of time—this most perfect of moments when I kiss her again.”

That kiss! Small in size but HUGE in history and love, that KISS WAS EVERYTHING!!! It was the turning point of a renewed love affair of soul mates.

“My feet don’t touch the ground. Gravity has no hold on me. I’m floating, falling, gliding….his lips both wonderfully familiar and yet fantastically new.”

That kiss melted from the pages, penetrating that passion right to me as I felt it too. Those lifetime kisses that you know will lock you to love for life.

“I’m going to worship you. I’m going to adore you.”

“You already do.”

Oh. My. SWOON!!! My soul was slayed in the best way as The Only One owned it and me! I was breathless at the blossoming love between these soul mates, this love that lifted me up into the sky where I floated among the clouds.

As fast as the love was rekindled, the loss lingers, hurt hovering over Penny and Gabriel along with the past like a dark cloud. Trust was a traitor that threatened to invade their new found happiness.

“He leaves, and that frustration inside me explodes into hurt and sadness as I watch him walk away.”

My heart bled for Penny and for Gabriel. As the feelings of hurt and betrayal float through the air, chemistry also permeates with a passion. A passion that transports them both to their intense love affair years ago in Barcelona.

“Only him. It’s only ever been him.”

The Only One is THE ONE, the fairy tale that flutters in feels and dances in dreams, the one that caused me to FALL HARD IN LOVE. The Only One left me breathless in a brilliant and beautiful story that was love at first sight. Oh did this utterly romantic romance feel real.

The Only One has that special spark that made me feel butterflies as it shot stars in my eyes. I flew high on Cloud Nine to Swoon Land! The Only One is a magical and mesmerizing second-chance love story full of sweetness, swoon, and soul. Oh how I loved thee…SOOO MUCH!

The Only One is Lauren Blakely’s most romantic romance ever! PURE BOOK BLISS! The off-the-charts chemistry, the passion, the promise of more, the love that never died, the sweetness, the swoon, and heart and soul…The Only One was EVERYTHING!!! This passionate love affair of words was the only one for me! I’m still swimming in a sea of swoon where I want to wade longer in the bliss of this Blakely book.

But I’m determined to change that.

THE ONLY ONE is a standalone novella following characters first introduced in THE SEXY ONE (Gabriel) and WELL HUNG (Penny). 

************************************************************************

EXCERPT

The clock mocks me.

  As the minute hand ticks closer to eight in the evening, I wrack my brain to figure out if I got the time wrong. Maybe we picked two. Maybe he said ten. Maybe we’re meeting tomorrow.    

  My chest twists with a desperate anxiety as I toy with the band on my watch.

  But as the fountains of Lincoln Center dance higher under the waning light, I’m sadly certain there was no error in communication.

  The only error was one of judgment.

  Mine.

  Thinking he’d show.

  Drawing a deep, frustrated breath, I peer at my watch once more, then raise my face, searching the crowds that wander past the circular aquatic display at Manhattan’s epicenter for the performing arts. This fountain is so romantic; that’s why we chose it as the place to meet again.

  One week later.

  Foolishly I hunt for the amber eyes and dark wavy hair, for the lean, tall frame, for that mischievous grin that melts me every time.

  I listen for the sound of him amidst the melody of voices, wishing to hear his rise above the others, calling my name, apologizing in that sexy accent of his for being late.

  My God, Gabriel’s accent was a recipe for making a young woman weak in the knees. That was what he had done to me. The man melted me when I first met him last month in Barcelona at the tail end of my summer of travels across Europe.

  When I close my eyes and float back in time, I hear that delicious voice, just a hint of gravel in his tone, and a whole fleet of butterflies chase each other in my belly at the resurgence of that faraway romantic dream.

  I open my eyes, trying to blink away the inconvenient intrusion of memory. I should go. It’s clear he’s not coming tonight.

  But, just in case I mixed up the times, maybe I’ll give him one more minute. One more look.  

  One more scan of the crowd.

  I let the clock tick past eight.

  I still don’t see him.

  I’ve been here for more than two hours, sitting on the black marble edge of the fountain. Scouring the corners of Lincoln Center. Peering left, then right down Columbus. Circling, like an animal at a zoo—pathetic modern-day female waiting for male to stay true to his word.

Womanizer by Katy Evans

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love cannot be forbidden. The more that flame is covered up, the hotter it burns. Love can always find a way. ~ Pyramus and Thisbe

When a Katy Evans book lands in my hot hands, I shut out the world because that book BECOMES MY WORLD. Nothing exists except Katy Evans’ words and me, words that I devour yet savor, words that penetrate straight through my heart like Cupid’s arrows, shooting sensations straight through me. Her brilliant and beautiful books are my love…my life.

I clutched this story with a bit of anxiety, adrenaline coursing through my veins, as I exited my everyday life and entered the world of the Womanizer. I knew that this last man standing in the trio of manwhores—the Womanizer—would cast a spell on me as the others did and claim me for life. Oh was I claimed; I swiftly succumbed to this story that slowly and smoothly seduced me. Womanizer just began and I already did not want it to end…ever.

Sigh. Smolder. Swoon. Sigh. Smolder. Swoon. Womanizer enticed me with a build-up of feels…a slow burn of smolder, swoon, and soul. I bled in angst. I burned in need. I was engulfed in flames, a fire that sparked into a full inferno. My appetite for these powerful and penetrating words could not be sated enough. Womanizer’s words WERE ALL THE THINGS that made me melt from inside out, shooting straight through my heart like Cupid’s arrows, sensations swimming around me.

Womanizer filled me with a heady mix of energy and emotion, an exhilaration that made me feel giddy and dizzy as if this story were my drug and I were the addict. Oh was Womanizer MY ADDICTION. Womanizer was the air that I needed to breathe…my oxygen…as every breath belonged to this book. THIS BOOK BECAME ME.

Oh Callan Carmichael. Tahoe Roth’s best friend and billionaire with a sexy, bad boy, James Dean look and vibe. Copper hair and golden eyes. Yummy facial scruff. Tall. Cut. Cocky. Complex. Intense. PURE PERFECTION.

“I can’t believe anything can be both this male and this perfect.”

Olivia Roth, Tahoe’s little sister, is interning at the company Callan owns. Beautiful, blonde, and brainy Olivia is out to prove that there is more to her than meets the eye and definitely not a dumb blonde, a stereotype that follows her and one that she uses as motivation to rock the business world.

A chance meeting on the terrace at work changes her life when she encounters the most sinfully sexy, cool, charming, and confident man who becomes Olivia’s confidant with chemistry between combustible. A man who happens to be Olivia’s boss.

“His lips capture mine, our tongues moving slowly to meet. It’s like two lightning bolts crashing…God. I’m being kissed from the inside out. His hunger only feeds mine.”

That kiss melted me from inside out. I felt the passion from Olivia and Callan penetrate me, owning these pages…owning me.

“Say you can handle what I’m about to do to you. Once I’m in, I’m owning every freckle I find….You’re coming so fast, so hard, and so very frequently tonight there won’t be a day that you come and not think of me.”

I. WAS. ON. FIRE. The heat set me ablaze, as I burned along with this sensual and seductive story. The forbidden fanned those flames of fire, sparking even more desire.

“I’m a full-time working girl and I can’t be Callan’s shiny new toy.”

Olivia will surrender her body, but not her heart as she won’t let this Womanizer hurt her or squash her plans for becoming a success businesswoman.

“I’m trying to do the right thing, but I’m not a good guy.”

For the first time in his life, Callan is wowed by a woman, one who is more just sex, and he can’t fight his addiction to Olivia who has turned his world upside down. His best friend’s sister is supposed to be forbidden, but temptation has never felt so right. He is torn between capturing his beautiful butterfly with whom he is falling in love and letting her spread her wings to fly.

I loved their fierce friendship that burned as bright as their intense chemistry. Friendship along with chemistry is the perfect beginning of a relationship, the substance, the build-up to love.

“I had my whole life planned out, and maybe Callan won’t change his spots for a girl—there’s a reason he’s the last man standing.”

This player may finally end the game as the prize is too good to resist.

“I’m a reasonable man. So why, when it comes to you, do I have no reason?”

Oh how I LOVED CALLAN. Tough and tender. Intense and irresistible. Complex and compassionate. Sweet and sexy. All man. ALL MINE.

“I know I can break. I know this can break me.”

Will Olivia let Callan into her heart or will this womanizer remain the last man standing?

Womanizer bleeds passion with heart and soul in an addictive and seductive, smoldering, and swoon-filled story of forbidden love. Oh did I smolder and swoon! Womanizer was the wind beneath my wings where I flew on an adrenaline and angst-filled ride. Womanizer was my addiction. My ache. My adrenaline. MY ALL. Womanizer twisted itself around every piece of me, quickly capturing me in its clutches. IT did not let go; I did not let go. I FELL FAST. I FELL HARD. I FELL IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING WOMANIZER!

Katy Evans once again outdid herself in one UNPUTDOWNABLE, pulse-pounding, and pleasurable penned piece of PERFECTION!!! Weaving her magic into wondrous words that make you melt to mush, Katy is an artist and those pages are her canvas where she paints words to life. SO MUCH LIFE AND LOVE. OH DO I LOVE HER WORDS WITH EVERY BREATH I TAKE. Her beautiful, broken, and brilliant books bled into me….becoming me. Oh did Womanizer come to life!!!

Womanizer is the perfect end to the Manwhore series. The innocence…the angst…the explosive chemistry…the raw sexiness…the sweetness…the swoon…the fierce friendship…the forbidden element…ALL OF THE FEELS…EVERYTHING!!! Dizzying, dominant, and spine-tingling, Womanizer was my rush. This all-consuming, raw, and racy romance felt real, as it wrapped itself around my head and heart, relentlessly tugging and tearing, and never letting go. I don’t ever want to let go.

★★★★★ sweet and smoldering smokin’ stars

View all my reviews

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans comes a brand new contemporary romance. WOMANIZER is a full standalone, and no other books in the series need to be read.

You’ve seen the headlines: Womanizing billionaire player! Watch out! Stay away!

We were just two strangers. Facing a forbidden attraction, a chemical connection. Neither of us expected or wanted it to amount to more.
But I had never been drawn to a guy the way I was drawn to this one: my brother’s best friend, and CEO of the company where I interned.
Even knowing I should stay away, I proved to be too human, after all.
The chemistry was amazing.
The laughs were incredible.
I opened up to him in more ways than I’d opened up to anyone before.
But sex was as far as I’d go.
Just sex because he was too irresistible.
Just sex because I wouldn’t be falling for him.
Just sex because I’d leave in three months, and I’d like for my brother not to kill me, and for nobody to find out he was my wicked little secret.
He wasn’t the One.
He was just a womanizer.
But for a time, he would be mine.

Quinn Whitmore wanted nothing more than to get away and enjoy her trip to the mountains. It was a chance for her to get away, regroup and recharge. After her horrible breakup she needed this trip more than she could say. Her plan was to unplug from the world, her demanding job and her heartbreak. No cell phones, emails, texts… nothing but peace. To unplug.

She never expected her life to be turned upside down by an unexpected guest in the form of the sexy, sensuous rule breaker named Merritt Smith.

Their attraction is instantaneous. It’s obvious from their first meeting that they want each other. Badly. Still, Quinn is determined. Nothing serious… not for a very long time. If Merritt wants a week of no strings attached sex – and only earth scattering, mind altering, spine tingling sex – then they could have the week together. Merritt is determined to have her anyway and on every surface that he can have her. But things don’t always go as planned and soon a little bit of fun leads to a whole lot of something more. Quinn and Merritt endeavor to turn a fling into something true, something solid, something lasting that neither of them had ever experienced before.

Then in true LK Collins fashion comes the twist and turn that I never saw coming. I was immediately thrown back to LATCH and felt once again like I was falling into something that surely was not happening. Once again I had to step back from my device in an attempt not to throw it. Instead I flipped back, reread and then all I could really say was… WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE? LK has the innate ability to leave her readers so breathless, so angry but so unable to turn away. No way could I stop reading once twist began. I was all in for the ride until its delightful end.

Hot, steamy, twisty… Merritt can curl your toes with his dirty talk and delicious moves. Quinn is his match, giving just as good as she can get. Unplugged is another stellar story by one talented author. It seems with each story LK Collins is honing her craft, getting that much better. I am amazed that with each read, I fall more and more in love with her work and look forward to what she plans to give her readers next!

FANTASTIC!

5 Merritt is DIVINE stars!

 

From the moment I laid eyes on her, I was doomed.
Quinn Whitmore was unlike any other woman in the world.
She was it for me. That spark, that instant connection, became my sole purpose for breathing.
Her laugh would take over a room.
Her smile brought me to my knees.
And her body was…pure perfection.
When I met Quinn, she was fresh off a nasty breakup and had ruled out all men. She wanted to spend the week in the Rocky Mountains unplugged from the world, unwinding and focusing on herself.

So I decided to let it go.
But my mind wouldn’t.
Every thought suddenly became consumed with Quinn, and I knew I had to have her. So when she finally agreed to a week of just sex, no strings attached, I took the deal and ran. It would give me time to fuck my Quinn obsession out of my head.
But, man, was I wrong. A week wasn’t enough. A lifetime wouldn’t be enough.

The problem…Quinn was hiding a secret—a secret that would ruin my life. And ruin it she did.

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.

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.

Major Love, is a hot, humorous, heartbreaking read that pitched its way into my heart and simply won’t let go.

There is a reason Kate sits highly on my list of favourite authors. Kate’s books balance out in the most perfect ways, while invoking every emotion possible. 

In Major Love, Kate took me on a breathtaking ride through loss and pain, love and laughter. Multiple times, I found myself laughing hysterically then almost ugly crying. I found that my heart broke before it was glued back together in the most beautiful way. I also got VERY hot around the collar because WOAH! April and Andy are on FI-YAH! 

I’ve been desperately awaiting this book, Andy’s story, since finishing Anything But Minor. When I got it, I dropped EVERYTHING and dove in and my word I fell hard and fast! Kate brought everything to the table with Andy, she made him hot, raw and powerful but she also made him sweet and vulnerable. Andy lit a fire so deep inside me that I just couldn’t put out no matter how hard I tried. And as the book went on that fire blazed bigger and BIGGER. 

Matching Andy with April was genius. Seriously everything about the two of them was just SO RIGHT. From start to finish, Kate made them connectable, relatable, lovable. There was nothing fast about their love either, don’t get me wrong, it was there, the whole time and you could FEEL it so much but it builds slowly. It’s truly magnificent and it proves how fantastic Kate’s writing actually is. You will fall in love along with April and Andy. You’ll hurt with them, you’ll laugh with them. It’s honestly all so perfect! 

Kate definitely hit a home run with Major Love, a sports romance that blasted it’s way into my top reads of 2016 and will forever hold a special place my heart!

“I met her at an all-time low . . . the worst night of my life—a time I never wanted to remember.”

“It was a night I could never forget.”

“When it came to women, I swore I was done with wishful thinking. Ball and my coaching career were all that mattered.”

“I reminded him it wasn’t.”

“She was everything I was afraid of.”

“He was everything I’d ever wanted.”

“She was fire—an irresistible piece of southern heaven that I couldn’t stay away from.

“He was smoke that clouded me in every imaginable way.”

“And the sex . . .”

“Dear God, the sex . . .”

“I fell hard, and she gave me hell at every turn.”

“I made a promise I was hell bent on keeping.”

“And you kept it.”

“Hell yes I did.”

“Fuckin’ A.”

This is a SPORTS ROMANCE and can be read as a stand alone.

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?

Take My Dare by J. Kenner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There are some books that hold me tightly in their clutches with characters I could read about forever. J. Kenner’s spellbinding and suspenseful Stark series is one I could devour for an eternity. Alluring. Addicting. All-consuming. Take My Dare, the latest Stark sensation, is a sweet, sexy, and suspenseful story that seduced every part of me.

Dark-haired and dark-eyed Sylvia has survived a childhood of hell and was still lost until she met her Prince Charming, Jackson Steele. Oh Jackson, how I’ve missed this alluring alpha! With his dark hair, dark blue eyes, tall and muscular frame, and dominating nature, I was in heaven to reacquaint myself with Mr. ‘Steal my Panties and Heart’ Steele.

“My life with Jackson is nothing short of perfection. He is my love, my husband, the one man in tall the world who makes me feel alive and whole.”

I loved my reunion with Jackson, one knight-in-shining armor of an alpha and his beautiful and brave, damsel, Sylvia, as this couple is pure magic together.

“I was chattel, and I was destroyed, and the scars of my childhood lingered far too long, creeping into my dreams and stealing my confidence. But that was then. That was before Jackson.”

This couple has been through hell and surfaced from the pits of peril even stronger. Despite being married with children, the sexual chemistry and desire between Sylvia and Jackson still burns bright, igniting flames that are on fire between this passionate pair. Jackson as a father is pure sweetness. Jackson is utter swoon.

“The ghosts of our past have been vanquished—or so I believed.”

The past continues to toy with Sylvia and Jackson, haunting them. Together, they are fierce. One battle. One team. One forever.

“You’re here?”
“Why are you here?”
“Oh, baby. You need me. Where else would I possibly be?”

I fell in love all over again with this man who is pure perfection.

This tender and touching tale tangled with me, touching all of my senses, as it held my heart hostage where I dared to fall in utter love with Take My Dare. I don’t know if I’ll ever be satisfied. With this spellbinding and seductive series, I always leave a Stark story wanting…needing more. Oh Take My Dare, I took your dare and I’m still dreaming of the Stark family. I’m still swoon-filled in a seductive stupor where I dare to say that I want to stay.

★★★★★ ‘Steele my heart’ stars

I’ve never been happier than I am with Jackson Steele. But I should know better than anyone that happiness always comes at a price…

My life with Jackson is nothing short of perfection. He is my love, my husband, the one man in all the world who makes me feel alive and whole. Our careers are on track. Our family is growing. And the ghosts of our past have been vanquished – or so I believed.

When a wonderful night of sensuality and passion following a masquerade ball turns dark with the news that haunting, horrible photographs of me have surfaced, my old fears and insecurities threaten to knock me down, and it is only within Jackson’s arms that I find the strength to endure.

But even Jackson’s protection may not be able to save us, because I know my husband well. And he will do whatever it takes—even if it means risking himself—in order to protect our family…

Bedwrecker, is a beautiful, raw, emotion filled story between HOT AS HELL Keen Masters and quirky, sexy Maggie May! 

These two are one hell of a couple and probably my favourite of Kim’s so far. I ADORED this story. I was captivated by the glorious push and pull I felt while reading. Kim has masterfully written a story with raw, passionate angst that bleeds through the words, filtered through me as the reader and rendered me breathless for the little Bedwrecker and her Wall Street Wolf.

Maggie May is ridiculously funny. She is so easy to connect to, I think that Kim wrote her brilliantly and the way Maggie talks to the reader is genius. It was totally refreshing the way she so blatantly pulled the reader into the story with her. It solidified my love for the whole story. 

Keen Masters is something else. He oozes raw masculinity and powerful alpha goodness. So sinful and sexy, I couldn’t help but love Keen and his wicked mouth. He’s my ultimate fave of all Kim’s heroes. 

Bedwrecker is a book I was “in lust” with. 

It’s now a book I love!

 Every girl has had a broken heart.

Every girl knows love hurts.

Every girl has a story.

This is mine…

My name is Maggie May and I met him under a haze of purple lights. As cliché as it sounds he was tall, dark, and handsome as hell, and I had fireworks in my eyes…literally.

It was New Year’s Eve and beneath the magic of all that glitters and shines, I fell for him and his wicked ways. The way he moved, the way he touched me, the way he brought me to orgasm over and over.

You should know that I don’t believe in love. Fairytales and happily-ever-afters are never anything I’ve dreamed of…until him.

Something changed the moment our eyes met. It wasn’t insta-lust or insta-love, it was simply him and me, and the dance floor at our feet.

The problem is our story ended three days after it started.

But now he’s back.

And he says he’s sorry.

Can I believe him?

Do I want to believe him?

He calls me his bedwrecker…but what if he wrecks me?
