My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

Sometimes you need a quick fix when reading, words you can inhale with lightning speed. You need a tale that is going to tempt you to read further but one that you can quickly gobble up in one sitting. You may need a test drive into new author territory before jumping behind the wheel or you may need more from your favorite author. Anotholgies like Second Chances by the Romance Writers of America are the perfect places to test drive authors’ words before you thrust full throttle into their books.

Part of this sensational second-chance romance anthology is One Night by J. Kenner. There is nothing I love more than a second-chance love story!!! Second-chance romances like One Night are SPECIAL because that past intimacy is MEANINGFUL. One Night, this short second-chance romance, was my KRYPTONITE!


One amazing, unforgettable, perfect night. And then I’d walked away.

J. Kenner brought me so close inside the heroine’s head that Penny felt real, as if I were there with her too. Beautiful Penny had the best one-night stand ever with a gorgeous guy who rocked her world. They shared more than sex; they shared something special. It was a night that felt like fate. One night was all Penny thought she wanted with Blake….until a chance meeting becomes more.

“Forgotten you?”

He moves in again, and the air between us crackles from the electricity we’re generating. He strokes my cheek, and that erotic sensation steals my breath.

“Baby, I remember everything.”

In one night…
I DEVOURED One Night, downing it like a smooth shot of whiskey. Oh did I LOVE this DELECTABLE and DREAMY QUICKIE!

In one night…
I was THOROUGHLY SEDUCED by the SCORCHING and SCINTILLATING One Night.

In one night…
I fell in fast love with a hero and heroine who quickly captivated me and made their world mine.

In one night…
One Night UNEQUIVOCALLY OWNED ME.

21463263_1093724890764500_6944235399790790373_n

One Night is INSTANT INTOXICATION, a tale that dazzles fast and furiously. I was SEDUCED with supersonic speed. Packed with promise and potent heat while spliced with sexual innuendos and sensuality, One Night is a short shot of steam fused with feels. Only a masterful writer like J. Kenner can write a taste of romance where you’re left both satisfied and wanting more! This second-chance love story may be short but it SATISFIES ALL THE WAY!

Review – Dirty Filthy Rich Love by Laurelin Paige

Dirty Filthy Rich Love FINAL

Dirty Filthy Rich Love by Laurelin Paige

My rating: 6 of 5 stars

Here I sit two days after reading Dirty Filthy Rich Love by Laurelin Paige, SMITTEN, as I am still flying high from this whirlwind of a romance that was my HIGH. Alluring. Arousing. Addicting. Dirty Filthy Rich Love is one INTOXICATING DRUG!!! A splash of suspense, sky-high smolder, a sprinkle of sweetness and swoon, a little angst, and some thrills and chills make up this PERFECT ROMANCE: Dirty Filthy Rich Love. This HEADY HIT was MY perfect romance.

Laurelin Paige wrote the perfect mix of dominant alpha paired with fierce heroine in Dirty Filthy Rich Love, a love story that SEDUCES and SCORCHES like a powerful and passionate kiss. This is a tale that twists around you where you’re fully IMMERSED and highly INTOXICATED. This is a story that steals your mind, body, and soul. There is no other way to read this SINFULLY GOOD romance except to do a deep dive, sinking in until you can only feel the words. You have to go ALL THE WAY IN!!!

Oh Donovan ‘Kiss-Me-Now’ Kincaid…where do I begin?!? There are heroes in romances and then there is Donovan Kincaid: the ULTIMATE HERO who is PURE HEART-POUNDING PERFECTION!!! Donovan is the best mix of dark knight meets super hero, sinner and saint, an insanely hot and intense ALL ALPHA, and the sweet-sigh-inducing PROTECTOR! I couldn’t love his hero hard enough!

Beautiful Sabrina Lind is as smart as she is sexy. This heroine in strength in spades and she won’t let others walk over her. 

“You hold the cards right now, Sabrina,” he said, his nose almost touching mine. “But don’t begin to think I’ve forgotten who’s in charge.”

21432756_1441414962606238_5929886363366259402_n

Sabrina now wields the most power. I loved how she relished and ruled her new role.

“You wanted to know what you are.”

“Okay.”

“What you are is mine.”

21369609_1440445489369852_7874576403128693331_n

SWEET SIGH!!! Donovan POSSESSED every part of me!!! His dominating words were a shot of heat straight to my thighs…so alpha and so HOT!!! The chemistry between Donovan and Sabrina is combustible, so electric that it’s a pull neither can fight…so ENTHRALLING! This hero and heroine are MAGICAL together! 

“There are still a thousand ways I intend to make you come, and another hundred thousand I haven’t thought of yet.”

21463001_1442163879198013_1568944416082818055_n

I could not devour Donovan’s dirty and dominant words fast enough…SO INCREDIBLY HOT!!! 

His taste was the best drug, his lips so firm and familiar, it was like going to church.

This story reveals everything in this series’ enticing end. It’s time to lay all cards on the table and uncover secrets and sin so the truth can set this hero and heroine free. Dirty Filthy Rich Love spreads itself wide open and bares it all in one captivating cat and mouse game that must finally end. 

I couldn’t see inside him, but I could feel. He was making me feel everything he felt, and it was raw and jagged and dirty and hard.

Dirty. Filthy. Rich. Love. They all collide in one tantalizing tale that may be a fairytale after all. Dirty Filthy Rich Love is as SOULFUL as it is SCORCHING, so full of heart and the hottest of heat. I was thoroughly SEDUCED by this scintillating story that is simply FLAWLESS!!! Dirty Filthy Rich Love, and its Dirty Duet series, is now one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITE ROMANCES! I LOVED this brilliant book and series so hard!

Laurelin Paige has done it again and written a book that rendered me BREATHLESS and nearly brought me to my knees!!! This wonderful writer is a master at letting readers take a deep dive in characters’ heads, telling their secrets but keeping a sliver of mystery that lingers like a pending storm. With scenes that make you blaze and blush, Laurelin Paige brings you from reader to wanton woman in a frenzied flash. This author writes the most alpha of alphas, so deliciously dominant and dirty! I never thought I’d meet a Laurelin Paige hero as alpha as Hudson, but Donovan delivers it all: the sexy, the swoon, and the seduction!

Deliciously dirty, heart-stopping sexy, and soul-swooning, Dirty Filthy Rich Love DOMINATES. ALL. THE. WAY!!! I could not devour this sinfully sexy romance fast enough. My mind is still stuck in this tale, wrapped up in this mastery of words that wielded themselves straight to my heart like a sword. I am UTTERLY ADDICTED to this scintillating story and series that OWNED ME…so incredibly good! Unwavering. Unputdownable. Unforgettable. Dirty Filthy Rich Love still OWNS every ounce of me.

“I always wanted to be in your world.”

“You are my world.”

💋💋💋💋💋💋 scorching, scintillating, and soulful kisses

I’ve discovered Donovan Kincaid’s secret.

It’s dirty and filthy and rich – as dirty and filthy and rich as he is – and it haunts me as much as he ever did.

Even after knowing what I know now, I still want to talk to him, to touch him. But there’s an ocean between us, and I’m not sure it can be crossed with something as easy as a phone call or a plane ride.

Yet I’m willing to try.

He doesn’t know this yet, but this time I’m the one with the power. And maybe – just maybe – if the air were cleared and all our secrets bared, there could still be a chance for us.

And this dirty, filthy thing between us might end up being love after all.

Review – Eye Candy Anthology

EyeCandy (1) (1)

Eye Candy by Tijan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sometimes you need a quick fix when reading, especially if you are a busy mama or have a demanding job. You need a tale that is going to tempt you to read further but one that you can quickly gobble up in one sitting. You need a test drive into new author territory before jumping behind the wheel. Anotholgies like Eye Candy are the perfect places to test drive authors’ words before you thrust full throttle into their books.

When you always wish your favorite authors would write a bit more about their beloved characters that you love and then your wish is granted from a genie called the anthology. The Eye Candy anthology, a collection of short stories from many amazing authors in one book, is that glorified quickie we readers sometimes crave….that wham-bam-thank you, sir or ma’am.

As I only met two series out of the five that the Eye Candy anthology features, I read and reviewed those.

SO MUCH MORE – J. DANIELS

Smoldering sex, sweet surprises, endearing moments, Halloween haunts, and friends who are family make up So Much More!  J. Daniels gives readers with more Bama Boys, back to the series of Southern sass, steam and swoon. Each Eye Candy chapter blesses us with a Bama Boy’s point-of-view, an insight into what’s happened since the series stopped.

Ben and Mia return and they are as cute and captivating as ever, especially as parents who still are hot for each other. Their family life is so sweet…so endearing and I loved the sneak peek into their life with littles.

This need—this overwhelming desire to taste and touch and fuck this woman never goes away. Never lessens in the slightest. It’s always there.

Reed and Beth keep the kink in marriage and you have to applaud their Christian Grey creativity. One word: rope! I missed Reed’s deliciously dirty mouth and loved getting a taste.

“Watching you with that rope is driving me crazy. Because I know what you can do with that rope, Reed. I know exactly what you can do with it. And I want that.”

Luke and Tessa are still as feisty as ever and always entertaining couple. I like my alphas a little tarnished and perfectly imperfect, and Luke is all that and more. Tessa always makes me both laugh and gasp in shock…no filter. I LOVE her and still want to be her bestie! 

I shouldn’t get off on riling Tessa up and getting a helluva lot of lip from her, but I do. And she gets off on giving it.

Tully and Riley…the best for last and oh do they have a sweet surprise! Tully is still my favorite Bama boy who is entertaining and endearing to me! 

This is real—the way she’s looking at me. Those big, blue flames burning me up the way they always do.

That ‘darlin,’ a Southern gal’s kryptonite, gets me every time. 

“We were always meant for this, darlin’.”

That Tully charm is twisted around me and I’ll never let it go. I’ll never want to let go of the Bama Boys.

GETTING DOWN – HELENA HUNTING

Heat, humor, and heart make up one delicious delight as Helena Hunting weaves her writing magic into Getting Down. Cinderella meets superheroes and one villain or two in a fierce and fire-hot fairytale that leaves you wanting more. You’ll end this taste of a treat needing the next novel by Helena Hunting, Hooking Up, to satisfy the ache that Getting Down leaves.

The chemistry continues to combust between Bancroft ‘Bane’ and Ruby! These two were created for each other. I loved them both so much! 

Serious Bancroft makes me want to get naked. All versions of Bane make me want to get naked, but when he’s all scowly and furrowed brow it makes my lady parts want attention.

Ruby channeled her inner Violet and I was in HUMOR HEAVEN! 

“Naughty girl.” He drags a knuckle along my slit. “You’re ready for my cock right now, aren’t you.”

EyeCandy-Teaser2

Holy hot! Bane’s deliciously dirty words turned me into wanton woman.

Throw Ruby’s bestie, Amie, along with Bancroft’s cousin, Armstrong, and his brother, Lexington, into the mix and things quickly get interesting and oh-so-more intoxicating! Getting Down bleeds angst along with humor and heart!

I turn away from Lexington so I don’t succumb to the urge to look at his abs again.

A taste of Bane’s brother, Lex, left me wanting a bigger bite. I also can’t wait for Amie’s story as that bit of fire she showed in Getting Down made me want to see more of Amie’s flames.

I LOVED getting down with GETTING DOWN, which lit me up in laughter, blazed my body, and shot sparks to my heart and soul!!! Packed with humor, heat, and heart, Getting Down is a rom-com that delivers it all!

Eye Candy is full of tricks and this perfect treat SATISFIES EVERYWHERE! This anthology is a compilation of character favorites, beloved heroes and heroines who feel like family. Eye Candy is the sweetest reunion; it feels like coming home. Like the finest chocolate, Eye Candy is an ADDICTION where you’ll ache for MORE!

A MUST-READ DELIGHT!!!

💋💋💋💋💋 sweet, smoldering, and satisfying kisses

Review – Most Valuable Playboy by Lauren Blakely

Most Valuable Playboy by Lauren Blakely

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love found me when I became one with The Most Valuable Playboy by Lauren Blakely, a deliciously dreamy love story that soared straight to my soul.

Maybe it’s because I LOVE FOOTBALL and watch it obsessively.

Maybe it’s because I LOVE SPORTS ROMANCES, my favorite romance genre next to rocker reads.

Maybe because childhood friends-to-lovers romances are my weakness…my kryptonite.

Maybe it’s because I need to lose myself completely in stories, feeling every word.

No…not maybe at all…but YES!!! YES to all of these and more! Lauren Blakely wrote SO MUCH MORE than a sports meets friends-to-lovers romance!!!The Most Valuable Playboy is a love story of HAPPY FEELS and FATE, a romance of DREAMS and DESTINY. This book is BLISS, and it wholeheartedly CAPTIVATED ME, calling to my heart and soul, CONSUMING ME from beginning to end. Football + fake relationship + childhood friends-to-lovers romance = one trifecta of a TOUCHDOWN!

My first thought while reading The Most Valuable Playboy: This is really a guy writing this book as the perspective is on point. Lauren Blakely SLAYS the MALE POINT-OF-VIEW (POV) like a boss, nailing it like a playboy quarterback to the cheerleading squad. I didn’t even miss the female POV as Lauren Blakely wove enough dialogue into the story to bring depth to both the hero and heroine.

Cooper is an up-and-coming NFL quarterback, a player on and off the field. Gorgeous with sun-kissed brown hair and bright brown eyes, tall, chiseled, and cut…beautiful inside and out. Hot Cooper is also a dirty talker who delivers the big Os with ease. I LOVED this hero!!!!

Beautiful dark-haired and dark-eyed Violet is Cooper’s childhood friend. Sassy, sexy, strong and smart, Violet is gal who could so be my bestie. I ADORED this heroine!

Friends…staying the friend zone is easy until they have to fake a relationship to help Cooper’s career. Then the game gets tough as lines are blurred…

“What are we doing?” she asks.

I bring my face nearer, my forehead touching hers.

“This.”

Then we kiss, and it’s the first kiss that belongs to us.

That kiss, so sweet and delicate, was EVERYTHING!!! I could not help but smile, as this kiss lifted me up to the clouds, swooning all the way. The chemistry between Cooper and Violet is a play they can’t fake.

She’s doing a everything to me—hitting me everywhere—mind, body, and straight in the heart with an arrow I’m not even sure she knows she’s aiming in that direction.


Is there anything sweeter than a friends-to-lovers romance?!? The Most Valuable Playboy is SWEETNESS MEETS SMOLDER, a friends-to-lovers romance oozing with passion and promise.The Most Valuable Playboy and its hero quarterback with a huge heart held my heart the whole time reading. I don’t think I could love Cooper any more as this PERFECT Prince Charming POSSESSED ME!!! Cooper and Violet together were MAGICAL!

Lauren Blakey has woven her magic wand of rom-com again, sucking readers into a vortex of involuntary thigh-clenches, swoon-filled sighs, and school-girl giggles. The Most Valuable Playboy is a SWEET SIGH of a sports romance that burns with desire and drips with honey where you’ll fall in love before the first quarter is over. Oh did I FALL HARD! I was INSPIRED as I felt the Vince vibe, the motivation of NFL coaching legend, Vince Lombardi. I found myself with tears in my eyes—not the sad kind but the feel-good, gushy kind. I found myself in love. Fire-hot, flirty, funny, enchanting, and endearing…this tale is one tender-loving TOUCHDOWN!!! I LOVED THIS MVP!

“”Do you feel it?”

She has to feel it, too. She has to know. She has to get it.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 all-star touchdowns

View all my reviews

Hands down, my favorite thing in the world is to score. Touchdowns.

Don’t let the fact that I’m the leading pick in the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction fool you. These days, I’m only a player on the field. I’ve kept my pants zipped all season long — and it has been long — because nothing’s more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the team owner’s recently-widowed and handsy-as-hell sister who’s dead set on winning more than a date with me.

Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary.

She’s my best friend’s sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don’t even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she’s my girlfriend. Which would be fine except my agent tells me we have to keep up the act while he’s negotiating my contract. 

Violet takes one for the team and pretends to be mine, but our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport, and I want it to go into overtime. The problem is — I’ve been riding the bench for years. 

How can a guy like me, who finally has a chance to prove his worth on the field, convince the girl she’s most valuable to his heart?

Always a bridesmaid.

No Action Armstrong.

Ball Cap Boy.

Mr. Clean.

The Unused Insurance Plan.

Oh wait. Here’s one more, a personal fave.

Best Butt in the NFL.

Those are just some of the nicknames I’ve been given in the last few years. They don’t bug me. Not one bit. They’ve all been true, especially that last one. You should see my ass. You can bounce a quarter off my cheeks.

Here’s the thing—when you spend the first three years of your career warming the bench for the best player in the league, you can’t get a chip on your shoulder. You have to stay sharp and be ready for that moment when you swap out a ball cap for a helmet and get your pants dirty.

My time has finally come this season, and so far, we’re winning.

But tonight isn’t about what happens between the opening kickoff and the end of the fourth quarter.

Tonight is about the one game I’ve always dominated.

For the last few years, I’ve been the highest ticket item in the players’ annual charity auction, and I can’t help enjoying that. Because the guy I’ve backed up has been called a lot of things—a legend, the greatest ever, a titan of the game—but the one I most enjoy is “second-best-looking quarterback on the Renegades.”

Hey, I didn’t give him that name. The media did, deciding the dude who play second-string—me—had a prettier face. Before this season, I’d seen a grand total of 120 minutes of playing time in my first three years, but I’ve taken home the top honors in the charity auction, where some of the loveliest ladies come to bid on the players they want to take out for a night on the town.

Ah, the memories of those dates have warmed my heart, and other parts, on the sidelines when the games were dull. Evenings in limos, testing the strength of the leather backseat, nights in hotels that lasted way past dawn, mutually and blissfully ignoring the no physical contact between the winner and the player rule.

Yeah, I’ve enjoyed the fuck out of being paraded on stage in front of hundreds of women, their slender arms lifted in the air, raising their bids higher on me than all the other guys. It’s been my one chance to shine, even to stand out.

Those days are behind me, though, now that I’m finally leading the team down the field every single Sunday. I still expect to rake in top dollar for the charity I gladly support, but this time, I won’t be living it up and letting loose after hours. I have a reputation to protect, and a season on the line.

The trouble is, the woman who has her eyes on me at the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction wants my full enchilada, and it’s not on the menu anymore.

Guess that means it’s time to call an audible on the line of scrimmage.

Review – Bait by Jade West

JWBaitBookCover6x9_MEDIUM

Review graphic

Bait is a must read!

Dark and twisted. There was no putting this down once I started. Jade has written some of the dirtiest, kinkiest books I have ever read. But with this story, she has truly shown some incredible talent. Bait had me turned around, flabbergasted and craving more with each turn of the page. Leo and Abigail’s tale is not one for the faint of heart. This book will either draw you in completely or have you running as far away as possible. I chose to fall in with my mind and heart wide open, both feet totally jumping in for one of the best reads of the year.

Leo and Abigail both have a past filled with horrible losses. Both have an empty place in their hearts that can only seem to be filled by fulfilling their darkest needs. One desires to be prey. The other to be the predator. Abigail ran from the pain of her past but has always dreamed that she is being chased by the dark monster, one who uses her for his own dark desires once she is caught. Abigail believes that until she has the wish fulfilled she can’t move forward and sets a plan in motion to make her nightmare a reality. Leo, the Phoenix, is a single father with a child that refuses to speak after the loss of his mother, a brother who is a thorn in his side and a demon inside him. He is the dark monster. A past filled with angry unanswered questions has made him so. A chance meeting online with Abigail will change the course of his life in ways that he never dreamed.

Leo is big, tatted… just a beautiful man wanting to take care of his son, his sister and his business. He’s never been able to let go of the past, and he has the scars on the outside to prove it. Abigail is fragile and torn a part after her image of love and family was scattered into a million pieces. Her heart and mind have been damaged. I saw Abigail trying to get through the day, faking her way through her life until she could finally feel something. The emotions between these two are so real, so heartbreakingly close to the surface. Their story, their coming together so enthralled and captured me.

This is a fantasy unlike any that I have read in a very long time. It was brilliantly written, breathtaking and exciting. There was no staying away from this story. I had to see it through to the end. This was Jade West at her best. I was blindsided by how much I enjoyed this suspenseful, heart pounding tale of two people and their desire to find peace in the chaos, fulfillment in the emptiness of their pain and resolution so that they could move forward together. An amazingly powerful read! Absolutely stunning!

A stranger online. Dark hair and even darker eyes that knew my dirty desires before I did.
A fantasy that should never be spoken. But he pulled the confession from me.
And now he’s coming for me.
Rough. Dirty. Dangerous.
It’s supposed to be one night to get me off and make me forget.
He’ll make me his and I’ll pretend I don’t want him to.
I’ll run and he’ll chase.
Because I asked him for this.
I begged him for this.

Tonight, in the darkness, he’s the hunter.
And I’m the bait.

Jade has increasingly little to say about herself as time goes on, other than the fact she is an author, but she’s plenty happy with this. Living in imaginary realities and having a legitimate excuse for it is really all she’s ever wanted.


Jade is as dirty as you’d expect from her novels, and talking smut makes her smile.
She lives in the Herefordshire countryside with a couple of hounds and a guy who’s able to cope with her inherent weirdness.


She has a red living room, decorated with far more zebra print than most people could bear, and fights a constant battle with her addiction to Coca-Cola.

Review – Auctioned To The Billionaire by Kira Bloom

Auctioned Billionaire Ecover

Review graphic

What words to use to describe Jackson Cade? Bossy, arrogant… a total jerk. Demanding, foul mouthed and brutally honest. I absolutely loved him! With a capital L!

Felicity York dearly loves her father and the restaurant that he started with his late wife. It is home to her and the people that work for her father depend on them to survive. She will do whatever it takes to save the struggling business, even go groveling to the man that holds her father’s $20,000 debt – Jackson Cade. No matter how she tries to negotiate with the bullheaded pig of a man, he won’t budge and plans to call the debt in. Jackson can’t deny the attraction that he feels for Flick but he has to stick to his guns and run the business better than his filandering father ever could. That means he doesn’t let things slide because of friendship.

My, my, my…. how things can change when Mr. Cade discovers Flick doing what she has to to save her father’s business. One auction and one deal later, thirty days in Mr. Cade’s company will definitely be a challenge and a game changer for Felicity as well.

Jackson Cade is… well, wow. Totally alpha, commanding and dirty. He’s absolutely divine! Sweet when I least expected him to be. The man is as passionate about his business as he is about Felicity. She’s his – no one else’s – and he sets out to make her understand this. Flick is as brave as she is beautiful. Selfless and loyal to a fault with an indepedent streak a mile wide. I admired her strength and her ability to stand up for herself and what she wanted. She is such a positive influence on Jackson, slowly changing the hardcore businessman into someone that she not only loves but likes. These two together are sinful, steamy and sultry! Their story made me breathless. More than once I sat back from my kindle and if I smoked, I would have grabbed a lighter and an ashtray.

This was one FANTASTIC debut from Kira Bloom! Auctioned is amazingly written and grabbed me from the beginning. The writing duo have created such great chemistry in this book and strong characters that I wanted to know. When I finished I wanted more from Jackson, Flick and the people around them. I’m excited to see what this duo has next up their sleeve. Wonderful read that I highly recommend!

Five VBay Stars!

Felicity
I’ve got one month to come up with enough to help my impulsive father pay off his debt to the Cades.
Twenty thousand dollars in thirty days.
My roommate has a plan—scratch that, she’s already followed through with her plan.
Auction off my V-card.
It’s a tale as old as time, but there’s just one problem: Jackson Cade just placed the winning bid … of 200,000 dollars.
And there are no refunds.

Jackson
The moment I saw her on that site, she was mine.
The second she laid eyes on me and realized who I was, she hated me.
Felicity should thank me—I’ve just settled her father’s debt and fucked myself ten times over because I want her.
She claims she’ll never sell out.
She already has.
She asks why I’d pay so much, but it’s fucking obvious.
I wanted to be her first.
She just doesn’t realize I’ll be her last.

Review – Broken by JL Drake 



6 stars.  🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
JL Drake has just consumed my whole world with this series. I am thanking God that I can move on right away to the next book because this is one of those drop EVERYTHING and read straight through  series. 
 This author caught my attention  when I read her book Trigger.  I knew then that she took up a resident spot on my must read list.  As much as I loved that book,  this one has grabbed  my heart and mind and is holding them captive. 
I’m not going to write about anything that goes on in the story because you will be kept on your toes throughout and I wouldn’t dare ruin that go anyone. All I can say is this is a 6 star must read,  and the good part is you can finish the series because it’s already complete. 
Excuse me while I enjoy an extreme book hangover.



My name is Savannah Miller.

My father is the mayor of New York. One day after my twenty-seventh birthday I was grabbed from behind. A cloth sack was quickly pulled over my head, and I was taken from everything I’d ever known. 

I was beaten, starved, treated like an animal, and forced to live in a room with no windows. With no sense of time and no dignity left I finally gave up hope and made a promise to myself to end it all. Unfortunately, it was going to be a slow process.

Then one night an elite group of US Army soldiers came to my rescue. I was brought to a safe house and given two options:

One—Stay under their protection and follow their rules or…
Two—Leave and be guaranteed to be returned to the savages within a week. 

I chose option one. 

As I work with a therapist and begin processing my hellish ordeal things slowly begin to surface. With the help of new friends and a potential new love I fight to get my life back and make choices that will forever alter my future.

This is my story…

Review – Wild Card by Karina Halle 

Wild Card by Karina Halle

Oh my goodness. I LOVED THIS BOOK. Karina Halle is at her BEST here! She well and truly swept me away with Wild Card. I felt every word of this novel, I fell in love with it fast & hard. I honestly couldn’t get enough! 

From beginning to end Karina Halle weaves a raw, wild, breathtakingly beautiful story of betrayal, hurt, anger and loss meshed with intensity, passion and blinding love. THIS is how a second chance love story should be!!! 

Wild Card is filled with angst and tension and deep soul stealing love. My heart is still currently between the pages with Shane and  Rachel. I can’t wait for more in this series!

What would you give up to have a second-chance at a once-in-a-lifetime love?

Wild Card is a STANDALONE SECOND-CHANCE ROMANCE from the NYT bestselling author of The Pact and Before I Ever Met You.

Rough, raw & rugged.

As the man in charge at Ravenswood Ranch, Shane Nelson has never been afraid to get his hands dirty. His sculpted physique isn’t the product of a gym, but of years of hard labor under a relentless sun. His straightforward, alpha tendencies come from a man who knows what he wants and goes after it.

And what he wants is Rachel Waters.

He’s never stopped wanting her.

They were childhood best friends, then teenage lovers who evolved into soulmates. But on one fateful night, Shane made a grave mistake, breaking both their hearts in the process.

Now, after six years, Rachel is back in the small, wild mountain town of North Ridge, BC.

Ready to face her past.

Ready to face Shane.

Ready to face his dark secret.

But is a second-chance at a one true love in the cards? Or will their wild hearts be broken once again?

WILD CARD is a complete standalone novel and the first book about the Nelson brothers of North Ridge.

Review – The Perfect Bastard by LK Collins

TPB cover

Review graphic

This story was not at all what I expected it to be. Single dads are the current “thing”, the latest hot fad that seems to be popping up everywhere. Roan Reddick could be like any other man trying to do the right thing by his family while also trying to do his sexy thing on the side and keep it hidden. But I was wrong. This single dad was so much more. This man is unlike any hero that LK has ever written. This story has a different feel than anything LK has offered and is a wonderful show of her talent and versatility.

Roan is a broken man but hiding it as well as he can. He’s tempermental and hardworking. A brilliant engineer and shrewd businessman. He’s determined to give his two girls everything but knows that he can’t give them the most important thing – their mother. That doesn’t stop him though, but one night he takes something for himself. One night he takes Mia Cavalano, his best friend’s little sister, and finds solace for himself. It was wrong and he knows it. Still that one moment of indulgence changes his life and Mia’s. So much so that Mia opts to leave Boston, Roan and her broken heart behind to go to college and start over.

But Mia can’t pass up an opportunity to return home when her job transfers her there. She goes back knowing that Roan and those memories of their night together await her. But there’s no way to hide what’s between these two. It’s smoldering and steaming right at the surface. They want to deny what they feel and fight a second chance at love. So many worries and insecurities – the girls’ abandonment by their mother, the fear that Chandler will not accept his sister and best friend together, the guilt that Roan feels.

I loved Roan! He’s sexy and strong, but he’s flawed and bitter. He’s dark and just so heartbroken. He’s loved and lost. He’s tired of fighting but is scared to trust what he feels for Mia. The one thing that is sure in his life are his daughters and his absolute devotion to them. Mia is fierce, feisty and absolutely perfect for Roan. She’s accepting of his flaws and understands just how much the past has hurt this man that she has known and loved most of her life.

The Perfect Bastard is one incredible second chance love story. Angsty, full of sexy moments and undeniable chemistry. The ultimate story – the real love story in my opinion – is the love that Roan has for his girls. The ups and downs that he faces with them… the defiance, tears and feelings of failure. The past is never far behind with this family. But leave it to Mia to act as a bond between Roan and his girls even when she has to face her own doubts.

Beautifully done! A story of true love and more importantly, the amazing truth that the love of family can heal broken hearts. Great job, LK!

5 Fighting Stars!

Lost Her -- TPB

FB_IMG_1494244628116

What is the one thing you shouldn’t do when your wife leaves you? Sleep with your best friend’s sister.

It’s too bad Roan Reddick never got that piece of advice before he fell into bed with Mia Cavalano. She’s smart, sassy, and sexy as hell. She’s also the only woman to flip his world upside down since his wife. And she’s leaving for college in two days, which is good considering he’s not looking for a relationship, not now, not with the agony that lives inside him from his past. But Roan can’t kick the craving he now has for Mia.

One choice changed everything.

After years away, Mia realizes they just aren’t meant to be. So she vows to keep her focus on her career and forget about the one-night stand that rocked her world so long ago. But when work transfers her back to Boston, a place that holds so many memories, she has no choice but to go. All she has to do is stick to her plan and keep her focus on work, which should be easy, right?

Besides, in a city of half a million people, how hard can it be to avoid the perfect bastard?

BONUS BOOK INCLUDED! After reading The Perfect Bastard which ends around the 50% mark, you can enjoy UNPLUGGED in its entirety. We are including this bestselling novel as our free gift to you. In UNPLUGGED you’ll meet Merritt, an alpha male with a dirty, sexy, luscious mouth. He’ll screw you senseless while talking filth. Prepare to have the panties melted right off you while reading this story about a week of sex with no strings attached, gone wrong.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Both The Perfect Bastard and UNPLUGGED are full-length stand-alone novels with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger. These stories contain mature subject matter. Not intended for those under 18, but those over will thank us later…happy reading!

Review – The Soul Mate by Kendall Ryan

the soul mate_amazon

The Soul Mate by Kendall Ryan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just SIGH! Kendall Ryan has written her SWEETEST STORY YET! I’m still basking in the sun of The Soul Mate. I’m still SMILING and GLOWING from this lovely love story. I’m still FLOATING on CLOUD NINE from the spell The Soul Mate left behind!!!

Sometimes a one-night stand is not just a hot romp; it’s so much more. It’s a kiss that touches more than the body. It’s not just sex in the sheets; it’s a connection felt everywhere: body, heart, and soul. 

It was more than chemistry—it was sheer animal connection, and I knew, even from that first, innocent kiss, that she could feel it too. Our connection was unlike anything I’d ever felt.

Beautiful Bren had the best one-night stand ever with a gorgeous guy who rocked her world. One night was all she wanted but more than many nights later, she is still thinking about the man who took her to ecstasy land. 

Jesus, he was like a drug. One taste and I wanted to mainline him straight to the vein.

Mason, AKA Dr. Dreamy, is a hot doc who can examine me anytime. I LOVED him and his dirty mouth, big heart, and sweet soul. Mason had me SMITTEN!!! I LOVED Mr. Romance!

Neither Bren nor Mason can forget that hot and mind-dizzying night. It’s as if their combustible connection is one forged by fate. One of soul mates.

“It’s not just me—you’re feeling this, right?”

The Soul Mate is ALL OF THE SWOON! Sexy meets sweetness in The Soul Mate, a love story that makes the heart flutter and the soul swoon! This love story is ENCHANTING and ENDEARING, one where you will smile and swoon the whole time reading. The Soul Mate is a WHIRLWIND of a ROMANCE that makes the HEART DANCE! A Hallmark love story in words, The Soul Mate is ROMANCE HEAVEN…my soul mate indeed! 

“You can’t live life in fear, kid.”

“What if it’s the only thing distracting me from how my heart is breaking?”

“Sometimes, you have to let it break. That’s the only way it’s going to heal.”

💋💋💋💋 swoon-filled ‘Soul Mate’ kisses
