Holy Moly! WOW!

If people didn’t already know, I’ll start by saying that I’m a huge Mandi Beck fan, her filthy fighter and his princess are one of my top book couples. So as you can imagine I was beyond excited when Mandi started writing again. The more and more I heard about Stoned made me even more excited for it, but I also wasn’t sure what to expect, Mandi told everyone that it was different and not her usual style and maybe people wouldn’t like it. Well, I’m people. And I fucking loved it! Stoned is, without a doubt, Mandi’s best writing to date! This is her craft, this is her path, the beautiful, breathtaking words she weaves into this story is her future.

My emotions are a total riot right now, jumping around like rock lovers in a mosh pit. I feel drained, emotionally ripped apart, heart broken and gutted. But I also feel high, super in love, my heart beating the super strong rhythm of Stone & Birdie. I am IN AWE of this story, their story, every breathtaking, heart pounding word of it.

Stone & Willow are a match made in heaven, the chemistry and connection between them are written so spectacularly that it itches at you, pulls on every nerve and explodes every emotion. The slow burning love that sizzles in the background of this book is consuming, electrifying. Stone is just pure bliss, a raw, intense, bliss that clawed at my heart and soul and damn, he’s buried deep. His dirty mouth and insane good looks will be hard for anyone to deny.
Willow is like a breath of fresh air. Never once did I not feel for her. Granted I wanted to shake a her a few times, but I got her, I understood. She’s a perfect match for Stone!

What Mandi has done with Stoned is flawless. It’s words are intricately woven into the most spectacular story. It’s a stunning guitar riff of notes, beats and rhythm. It’s a deep emotive song, played out with incredible dedication and precision. It’s a book to be proud of and I bow down to Mandi for her ability to compose such magic.

And now, well now, I’m done. Totally Stoned. Wrecked beyond words. Dancing happily in Stone’s Purple rain.

5 stunning, sensational stars!!!

A rock star with no rhythm is a man with no soul.” – Stone Lockhart

As the lead singer of one of the hottest bands to hit the rock scene, fucks are free, drugs come easy, and music is life.
For as long as Stone can remember, Willow has been his music – the notes that weave his soul together.
His rhythm.
Until he threw her away.
All he has left is a handful of pills and a few lines of powder to make him forget her.
And he tries, over and over.

Clean and ready to make things right, he’s faced with the fact that Willow’s moved on. She’s not the same girl he cast aside. Willow’s a woman sure about her purpose in life. Sure about who she’s meant to love.
Stone may be lost without his rhythm, but Willow has found so much more.

Trinity. Is. Stunning.

From page one to the delightful epilogue with all the juicy off the charts hotness inbetween, this book held me in the palm of its hand. And it never let go. I couldn’t set my kindle down for long nor did I want to! The story amazed me. Who would have thought that three strangers meeting for the first time in a dive bar could have such a perfect chemistry and an instant emotional connection? I can say I felt a whole lot like Jenn, Chase and Shane. I never saw this story coming either. And even now I am still stunned.

Jennifer doesn’t have much but she does have Pops and the Corkscrew. The run down bar gave her safety and sanctuary while the man running the business gave her love and a sense of belonging. But a new developer has plans for the restaurant on the beautiful New Jersey shoreline and he is determined to get what he wants no matter who he has to step on. With Pops so sick and with liens against the property, Jenn still refuses to sell. She won’t back down and she won’t give in.

Jenn never expects for her life to change the night that she closes the bar to celebrate the impending marriage of two of her best friends. Dark and light. Bossy and beautiful. Shane and Chance saunter up to the bar and into Jenn’s life. She feels a certain vibe from these two. She suspects that they are together – she knows that they are. But she never expected to feel such a raw sexual pull between the three of them. They never expected to finally find the one that would complete their relationship – their “prideful little pixie.”

I have never read such intense and intimate love scenes! The sex between these three… wow. I’ve warned other readers they’ll need towels, fans, an ice block or two and a significant other by the end of this book. I’ve never read MMF before this book and what an introduction it was. Shane and Chance were just… mind blowing. But these boys have a secret that could lose them everything they’ve always wanted. They work for the man determined to destroy Jenn. Can the Jenn see her way to being with them in spite of this? Can she get past what society may say about her taboo arrangement?

The story is short but M manages to pack so emotion, so much energy, so much hot and sexy in a just a few chapters. This little wonder shows her readers just how diverse M is and I, for one, can’t wait to see what other literary tricks she has up her sleeves. I’m a Jett girl, Marissa… but I certainly can be converted!

FANTASTIC!

Five very well and truly earned stars!

Two seductive strangers.
One scandalous night.
A trinity of temptation.

It was only supposed to be a single encounter. A night stripped of sexual inhibitions.

We were never supposed to become romantically involved.

But they were alluring and irresistible.

They were also the enemy.

Their company wants to take the one thing that means anything to me.

Now, I’m navigating a dicey path. Loving two men who can destroy me in a multitude of ways. They can shatter my heart, wreck my dreams, but worst of all, demolish the only place I’ve ever called home.

Reckless Hearts by Melody Grace
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?” ~Erin Hanson

When I read a Melody Grace romance, I know it is going to be a special story. One that makes my feelings flutter. My pulse pound. My soul soar. A romance where my heart both hurts and heals its way towards happiness and that much anticipated happily ever after. Reckless Hearts is ALL THOSE THINGS. Spellbinding, smoldering, and sweet, Reckless Hearts is story of fast and fierce love that latches on hard and never lets go. A little bit reckless, a lot romantic, and oh so right.

Reckless Hearts embedded itself deeply in my heart from the very start, never releasing me until the end, where I did not want to let go. Passionate. Poignant. Powerful. Perfect. From the very first page of Reckless Hearts, I was transfixed. Transformed. Totally smitten.

I lived and breathed this soul-wielding and sensational story. The words are so detailed that they painted a vivid picture. I saw the quaint waterside small town. I smelled the ocean. I melted like a hot summer day. The characters’ chemistry and love radiated from them to me. I felt every word I devoured as this book, Reckless Hearts, breathed life into me.

“I am a modern woman, hear me roar.”

Deliah Morgan is a beautiful blonde, blue-eyed, and curvy spitfire who dishes out sass for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She is strong and smart, and so fiercely independent. I LOVE HER!!!

One night while on business in New York, she meets a gorgeous dark-haired, hazel-eyed, tall, and muscular stranger who saves her from a disastrous night. A real-life Prince Charming rescuing his Cinderella. Impulsively, Deliah kisses Will Montgomery, a kiss she still tastes long after it is over.

“He’ll always be the gorgeous guy who helped out of a rough spot—and who kissed me on a rain-soaked street corner so hard, I forgot my own name.”

That kissing scene on the city street in the rain with Will and Deliah, strangers with sizzling chemistry is straight out of a Hollywood classic romance movie. Swoon! My heart pitter pattered with the rain.

“From the moment I saw her on the sweet that night with her whip-smart mouth, teasing blue eyes, and infectious laugh, it’s felt like we were always going to meet. It’s inevitable. And totally unforgettable.”

Sometimes you have to live for the moment. Grab life by the balls and shake it up. Will uprooted his life for a woman he helped on the street, a stranger, but whose kiss still lingers. Will is impulsive, intense, and invigorating…and I love it and him.

“The hottest man I’ve ever met just up and moved halfway across the country—for me?”

Deliah doesn’t do relationships and is thrown for a loop when Hurricane Will sweeps into town for good, threatening to sweep Deliah off her feet if she doesn’t keep them firmly planted on the ground.

“I was right there on the edge, ready for a push. And man, did Deliah make me fall.”

Oh. My. Swoon. Barely into Reckless Hearts, and I’m claiming Will. What man would uproot his life for a stranger he met on the streets of New York for mere minutes?!? I’m smiling as I’m swooning.

“The man’s a walking temptation—and I’m a girl with zero self-control.”

Control is slipping away for Deliah. The walks around her heart are crumbling as Hurricane Will is breaking them down, piece by piece.

“When you’re ready for a real man to show you what it feels like, you just let me know.”

Oh how is Will raw and real. As much as Will’s beautiful words shot swoon darts straight to my heart, his dirty words awakened lower places, causing some seriously involuntary thigh clenches.

“Oh baby, you’re going to have to beg a whole lot louder before I let you come.”

Oh dirty and delicious Will, I need you now too.

“You want me to talk dirty to you, sweetheart? Because I can do it all day long. How my cock’s going to own every inch of you, fill that sweet pussy until you don’t think you can take it anymore. But you will, baby, believe me.”

I’m. On. FIRE!!! Scorching from head to toe, Will’s words awaken my wanton woman.

“You’re going to be mine.”

I’m DONE!!! Those five words are the most poignant and possessive, so dominant and daring. I want to be owned by Will. SWOON. SCORCH. SMILE. 

Deliah is done too. Hot Hurricane Will has swept her up in his vortex, the tunnel of love. This handsome man with a huge heart and a magical mouth has turned Deliah’s carefully carefree life upside down.

“Just a taste isn’t enough. I need all of him. And I’ve never needed anyone before.”

Will has willed his way into Deliah’s life. Her head. Her heart. I LOVE IT!!! I’ve been cheering so hard for this crazy couple. Though as much as my heart soars, oh does it fall.

“It takes two seconds. Two seconds for my new beginning to shatter, and the life I’ve been building here to crumble to ash.”

My heart is wrapped in a warm and cozy blanket and it is pounding with pleasure as Reckless Hearts has stolen it and every ounce of swoon from my body. Reckless Hearts hit my heart, striking me like a lighting bolt: fast, hard, and straight to the soul.

Melody Grace’s warm and wondrous words cast a magical glow, bathing me in a warm bath of nostalgia as they lit up the story with love, hope, and happiness. I LOVE how Melody connects her books of the past to those of the present, giving readers a reunion, a gift of former greats. This author’s stories always pull me into a vortex of intoxicating and immense swoon and satisfaction. Melody Grace’s powerful and poignant writing is memorable and magnificent, and all of her books from Beachwood Bay to Oak Harbor spark ALL THE FEELS. Simply unforgettable.

“When you’re ready for a real man to show you what it feels like, you just let me know.”

 It should be the offer of a lifetime: sexy craftsman Will Montgomery wants to rock my world, and boy, does he know what to do with his hands – and that filthy, delicious mouth of his…

Only problem is, I don’t believe in relationships. And Will has ‘boyfriend material’ written all over his chiseled, hunky abs. He was supposed to be an impulse fling, but now he’s shown up in Oak Harbor, NC, to put down roots, and he’s determined to make me com…mit.

I’ve been hurt before. Love always ends in tears and tequila, but Will seems different. He’s charming and funny, and did I mention that miraculous mouth of his? Despite all my better judgment, I’m falling. Hard. But can something this good turn out to be true? Or will old scars keep us from building a future together? For the first time ever, maybe I want to be proven wrong…

 A sexy, heart-felt stand-alone with a guaranteed happy ending from New York Times bestselling author, Melody Grace!

Ramsay by Mia Sheridan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ramsay is a brilliantly written and breathtakingly beautiful second-chance love story that bleeds passion and angst as it breaks and builds the heart over and over again. Touching. Tender. Turbulent. Thought-provoking. Ramsay is not just a story but a full-blown immersion where the heart, breath, and soul collide as they become one.

I wanted to savor Ramsay but I could not help but devour this book with a desperate hunger like my last meal…my last breath. This story consumed me. Captivated me. Caressed my soul.

From the very first page, Mia Sheridan’s vivid words immediately came to life like paint to a canvas. The words are colors that splashed against my soul with each stroke of the brush. My senses were heightened as the world bared life from page to mind to heart. I smelled the fresh cut grass and honeysuckle. I tasted those scorching kisses. I felt Brogan’s strong arms around me as I felt everything in this story. I didn’t have to read much to know that the end result would be one magnificent masterpiece.

Just 10 percent into Ramsay and this story quickly overcame me—heart, head, body, breath and soul—captivating and crushing me ceaselessly. My heart nearly beat out of my chest. My body was on fire as my pulse pounded more with each page. Tears streamed early on and never really ceased.

I cried…a lot. Feelings bled into tears, heartbreak bled into happiness, hope rose from the bloodshed. I could not help but feel each word I read in Ramsay, my emotions entangled in this soul-searing story where they remained as I became unglued.

The beautiful man with an Irish accent and Gaelic tongue stole my heart and is still holding it tightly. As a teenager working with his father as gardeners at a rich family’s estate, Brogan Ramsay experienced the most passionate night of his life and the ultimate betrayal as he was used like a piece of trash by Lydia De Havilland, the beautiful and blonde rich girl who he cared for and he thought cared for him. Her mean-spirited and twisted brother, Stuart, discarded Brogan like a piece of trash, rendering his family and him useless and destitute.

“Why was she doing this to me? Making me hope for things I could never have?”

My heart instantly broke for this beaten and beautiful man. And oh is Brogan beautiful. I have a new boyfriend and his name is Brogan Ramsay. Black hair. Blue eyes. Tall. Muscular. Irish-American who speaks with an accent and in Gaelic. One of high conviction and honor. So complex. So caring. So protective. So beautiful—inside and out. I fell in insta-love with this multi-faceted man, a deep connection that felt a bit real.

Lydia De Havilland. Beautiful, blonde, curvy, and a former spoiled rich girl who has blossomed into a woman who is just as beautiful inside as out, like Brogan. I want to hate Lydia but I can’t as there is much more to her and this story than meets the eye. As quickly as I hated Lydia, I fell in love with her too. Lydia encounters Brogan seven years later and the tables have turned. He is no longer the sweet boy Lydia adored but is now a revenge-seeking avenger.

“My God. He hated me vehemently. After all this time.”

Brogan can’t forget that devastatingly beautiful night seven years ago where Lydia claimed his body and heart yet humiliated him.

“The humiliation. The rage. The hopelessness. The grief. The memory of what she’d done still pulled tight like an internal scar.” 

Brogan still holds onto this hate and is determined to destroy Lydia and her family as retribution.

“If I exacted the revenge I’d been imagining for so long, I’d be free of her. Exercised of her ghost, the one that had been haunting me for seven years.”

Lydia remembers a sweet and caring boy who stole her heart—not this cold and calculating man who is now enacting blackmail where she is the pawn for payback in a twisted game. Brogan wants to carry out revenge yet reclaim Lydia, the only girl he has ever loved.

“There is a thin veil between love and hate.”

Like a pendulum, I shifted between Lydia and Brogan. Love. Hate. Love. Hate. The tension of these characters turned to me. I felt their angst as I warred with these words. I absorbed Brogan and Lydia, feeling their pain. The hate. The heartbreak. EVERYTHING. Brogan and Lydia love and loathe like fire and ice. Their chemistry is intense and intoxicating, breathing passion into the pages. I was on fire right along with this combative yet caring couple.

“He was going to kiss me…and I wanted him to—possibly even more than the first time…It felt like a symphony rose in every cell of my body as I became reacquainted so easily with his taste, his touch.”

Swoon. I’m swooning and rooting hard for this couple to be reunited. To survive this seven year war.

“There was still so much between us, so much unresolved, untold.”

Brogan and Lydia. Two soulmates that have been split in half for seven years. Despite distance, misunderstandings, and time, these two hearts still beat as one. Though their souls are lost— anchored by the painful past—and won’t be found until they are together again.

“I’d orchestrated my own demise. I was going to go down and go down hard again.”

I’m drowning to breathe, mourning that Ramsay is over, as I clutch an invisible clover while tears catapult down my cheeks. Life is moving around me but my heart is still breathing this book. This story gripped me hard and never let go as it tore open my heart like a gaping wound, gutting me.

I bawled like a baby, never quite stopping the tears that flowed. My heart shook and shattered. Through the cracks of darkness, bits of light emerged, shining a sliver of hope into my soul. Ramsay ruined me. Rescued me. Branded me. Breathed life into me. Became me. My soul is spinning, my heart is heavy, and my breath is still bated from one of the best romantic roller coasters I’ve ever experienced: Ramsay.

Mia Sheridan is one wondrous writer. A visionary. Mia Sheridan makes you a believer in love, hope, and what’s beyond the happily after. Her sensational and soul-searing stories make you believe that life is indeed bigger than this earth. It lives on in something so breathtakingly beautiful that one can only ponder its existence.

From Archer’s Voice to Ramsay, which is now my new favorite book by this author, Mia Sheridan breathes life into a story that hits straight to the heart. Her meaningful and mesmerizing words matter. Each of Mia Sheridan’s poignantly penned pieces own a piece of my soul. One of my new favorite books of all time, Ramsay is pure poignant perfection. Ramsay is a magical and meaningful modern day fairytale of epic love, the kind that lives on long after the story is over.

5 ‘ but worth way more’ devastatingly beautiful bleeding stars

Lydia De Havilland is shocked when Brogan Ramsay suddenly reappears in her life. Several years before, Brogan was the son of her family’s gardener, and the boy she hurt and betrayed. But Brogan is no longer the quiet, sensitive boy she remembers. Now he’s a man—gorgeous, powerful . . . and seeking vengeance.

Brogan Ramsay can’t let go of the memory of Lydia tricking him cruelly, leaving his heart shattered and his family penniless. And now he’s back to destroy her family the way his was destroyed. There’s only one problem . . . the girl who wounded him so badly years ago is now a woman who still has the power to render him breathless.

Ramsay is the story of betrayal and wrath, of the strength of regret and the power of forgiveness. It is the story of the thin veil between love and hate, and how more often than not, when we seek to inflict pain on others, the heart we wound is our own.

THIS IS A STAND-ALONE SIGN OF LOVE NOVEL, INSPIRED BY ARIES. New Adult Contemporary Romance: Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

Man Candy by Melanie Harlow

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Man Candy is a sweet, sassy, and smoldering friends-to-lovers story that hugs the heart and seduces the soul, casting a spell that remains long after the last page. Sugar and spice. Fire and ice. A captivating contradiction. A delicious delight. Man Candy is a beautiful and brilliant present you want to devour yet take your time as it is pure page and panty-pounding pleasure. Melanie Harlow makes magic, weaving a web of allure, angst, and addiction in Man Candy, her best work yet.

I could not wait to devour my sinfully sweet piece of Man Candy like the most delicious chocolate, so when it finally hit my kindle, I may have belted out a squealing bookgasm! After giving the cover a few eyegasms because it’s seriously stunning. The cover is perfect for Mr. Man Candy, a story that is as striking and steamy inside as it is outside.

Barely into the story, and I’m giggling like a school girl from the Harlow High that ensues when this author incorporates heat-laced humor missiles that hit my funny bone every time.

“I imagined him sticking his pig in some gorgeous blonde’s blanket.”

I’m laughing like a loon like someone spiked the party punch and I drank it all.

Diving into Man Candy is like the best bubble bath ever. I bathed myself in this beautiful book. I breathed this brilliant book like ocean air because I didn’t want to look up or stop reading. I wore every word on these powerful pages like my favorite panties because they quickly felt like a part of me. I laughed like a loon. I lusted like a lioness. I cried like I was at the sweetest wedding. I felt it all as the book bled into me.

The beautiful brunette, blue-eyed, and curvy Jaime Owens tried to seduce her brother’s gorgeous best friend, Quinn Rusek, 10 years ago when she was 17 and he was 18. He rejected her. I repeat: he did nothing. One big burn. An ego blow. A knife to the heart.

Fast forward ten years later and Jaime is a fierce firecracker who is more beautiful than ever. She never fully recovered from Quinn’s blow to her heart and now has walls around her heart that rival The Great Wall of China. Jaime loves sex but without strings. Just a wham, bam, and thank you ma’am. Have the big ‘O’ and send them on the go.

I love Jaime! She is refreshing and raw. She holds nothing back and speaks her mind. Jaime’s lady balls rival any man’s.

Oh Quinn…I think Melanie created my favorite male character of hers in my favorite book of hers that’s making me fan myself in my fantasies involving him. All of him. Pure perfection. One luscious Quinnsicle. He’s hotness and heaven and oh so holy amazing. Yes, the gorgeous, tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed man candy is sex-on-a-stick-rolled-in-sweet-candy perfection.

Quinn is back in town from Cali to stay for good this time, right next door to Jaime and ready to pick up where Jaime left off though this time he won’t resist. Now Quinn wants to show grown-up Jaime that all of him is in the game now. They have unfinished business. Big business.

“I hadn’t been able to resist trying to get a rise out of her—to see if that girl I knew was there underneath that frosty exterior, the little spitfire with the big eyes and bigger mouth.”

Jaime swore she would forget about the man candy who didn’t want a piece of her, but suddenly it’s raining Hershey kisses.

“Quinn Rusek was one fine piece of man candy, and I had a sweet tooth for him that wouldn’t quit.”

Jaime wants a night or few of sinfully hot sex.

“I’m all for no-strings sex…but…I don’t believe in love.”

Quinn wants more. Like during their childhood, it’s the ultimate game of chicken to see who squawks first. Love or lust, which will win?

“Had I not made it clear that I don’t want a boyfriend, but I do want sex? What kind of guy turns down an offer like that?”

The way Jaime wanted to play with Quinn’s he-beast is hilarious. Oh. My. Snort. Laugh.

“I was dying to play with it. Lick it like a Popsicle. Suck it like a peppermint. Ride it like a pony.”

Their chemistry is off-the-charts HOT! Simply sizzling.

“I wasn’t sure which side of her made me want her more, the fire or the ice.”

Jaime is still resisting Quinn’s sweetness though is totally game for the scorching sex.

“All I’d wanted was a little man candy, and he was offering me an entire meal.”

The meal is too much for Jaime who just wants a sample. This princess may never want a prince.

“This couldn’t happen. It couldn’t be me…I knew I was drowning…I couldn’t even breathe…I had to fix this. Now. Good thing I had an emergency exit strategy all planned out. I always had.”

Though the prince may wait for his princess to get her head together but only for so long before he rides into the sunset solo.

“She turned me away, so I’d give her what she wanted. No matter how much it hurt.”

Man Candy packs a powerful punch filled with lust and love, and angst and allure. The feels fell from the pages straight to my soul. I sweated. I swooned. I scorched. I shook my head. I scowled. I shed tears (The PMS Princess nearly daring me to do so.). I smiled. I sweated. I swooned. Again and again.

The story is over and I’m still swooning. Man Candy is sugar and spice. A bonbon of book bliss. The best guilty pleasure, Man Candy is an entertaining and enthralling escape that embedded me deeply into this book. This tale is as tender and touching as it is sexy and sassy. A sweet, sexy, and seductive story that stole my panties along with my heart, Man Candy is a must-read masterpiece of pure pleasure and is Melanie Harlow’s most sensational story yet. I fell in love with my Man Candy and want to devour it just a bit longer as the taste is simply delicious.

He’s back.

Not just back in town, but living in the flat right beneath mine. And he looks good enough to eat, which is just one more reason to stay away from him.

But I can’t resist.

The sex is incredible (pretty sure we’ve shaken the house right off its foundation), but he can’t fool me—not this time. A degree in marketing and five years in advertising have taught me that “true love” is a fairy tale used to sell lipstick, diamonds, and perfume. It doesn’t exist.

He thinks I’m wrong, and he wants to prove it.

I think he’s crazy, so I dare him to try.

It might be the biggest mistake of my life.

Wicked Love by Michelle A. Valentine

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tender and touching, Wicked Love is a roller coaster of a rock star romance sprinkled with heat and filled with heart. It’s a passionate and poignant tale of heartbreak, healing, and happiness fused with fate and feels with highs and lows. A story that heats your heart and sings to your soul. Wicked Love is wicked good.

Rock star romances, along with MMA, are my favorite stories to read so I could not help but devour Wicked Love as I did the other wickedly wonderful books in this series. The fantasy of a rocker belting songs to me makes my heart pound and my body heat. Singing is sweet and sexy, and rockers are intense and hot. Everything is done with passion. Everything.

Wicked Love is refreshing, raw, and real. The intensity and passion permeates throughout this tale and I could not help but experience every emotion while on my Wicked Love date. A story that flutters with feels. Smiling. Sweating. Swooning. A LOT.

This is not the typical rocker story where the man whore rock star meets the woman who changes him. No, Wicked Love’s hero is all grown up and ready for the real, and the heroine is perfectly imperfect.

Beautiful brunette and blue-eyed Avery Jenson is done dating losers and users who bring nothing but trouble to her already stressful life.

“This is the last time I’ll allow myself to be hurt like this. I’m sick of men treating me like something they can use, then toss away.”

Her rich life and reputation are ruined from her father’s embezzling at his company and she wants nothing more than to escape from the shambles of her former perfect life.

Perhaps luck or maybe fate made her path cross with gorgeous rocker, Tyler Mercer, one disastrous night. Every woman’s fantasy man.

Plus rocker. Plus guitar. Plus fabulous fingers.

“Watching his fingers move with ease causes a wicked thought to pop into my head. Bet he’s pretty good with those fingers in other areas too.”

Blond, blue-eyed, tall, muscular, and inked, Tyler looks like a walking wet dream though there is sweetness in his core. Hard but soft. Tough but sweet.

“This guy is absolutely gorgeous in that badass, I’ll break-your-heart-after-I’ve-melted-your-panties kind of way, but there’s something lingering in his eyes that makes him seem like he could be sweet even though his outward appearance screams trouble.”

Like Avery, Tyler yearns to escape from a painful past that haunts him every day.

Tyler rescues Avery after her friends abandoned her, and later collides into her near his home, rescuing her a second time in the small town when Avery and her father are forced to move in with her grandma.

For Tyler, the girl he has only met once and who he rescued haunts his head, heart, and dreams. Avery is the one who may be worth remembering, the one who could be more.

“I usually don’t have to work this hard to get girls. This one is going to take a lot of effort, but I’m willing to put in the work.”

Avery is hopeful that for the first time, she has found a guy who truly cares for her. She is transfixed by this man who is her real-life rocker version of prince charming. Tyler is invading her, striking her soul like a melody.

“I look at him. I mean, really look at him, while he sings. He’s so damn attractive. It’s almost like I’m seeing him for the first time.”

I’m swooning in sweetness and I don’t want to stop.

The chemistry between them heats like a slow burn. The build-up is intense. The fire is burning so hot that it’s about to ignite.

“I don’t know if she realizes what she’s done, but she’s awakened a sexual beast who wants nothing more than to find his way into that sweet pussy of hers.”

Tyler and Avery don’t have sex; they make love. It’s hot and heavenly. Scorching yet sizzling with sweetness.

“Tell me, baby, that you belong to me.”

Swoon. Scorch. Repeat.

Though their one night of passion leads to peril, causing Tyler to leave town the girl of his dreams for good.

“I’m leaving, Avery. I’m the last thing you need…I was careless. I’ve hurt people.”

The tragedy changes their lives forever. With Tyler gone, Avery is left in the aftermath, picking up the pieces of rubble.

“Tears flow and there’s no use trying to stop them because I know from this moment on, nothing in my life will ever be the same.”

Fast forward three years later, Tyler, now a world famous rock star for Wicked White, returns to his hometown and Avery, hoping he can dust off the ashes and repair the pieces of her broken heart.

“We are strangers to one another. He’s no longer the nice country boy that I met a few years ago. He’s Tyler White of Wicked White—one of the hottest rock bands in the country.”

Avery has moved on and has built a new life for herself. Tyler hopes she has room left in her heart for him.

Wicked Love is wicked special. A passionate and poignant rock star romance that is wrapped in sugar. There is nothing as sweet as a friends-to-lovers story that calls to your heart, beckoning it, and flooding it with hope and happiness. Wicked Love is a must-read love story that heats the heart and sings to the soul.

All Tyler Mercer wanted was to make music—until he met Avery Jenson. The beautiful new girl in town turned his head and struck a chord in his heart. But when their one night of passion results in devastating tragedy, Tyler hits the road, leaving behind his dead-end hometown and the girl he knows he’ll never forget.

Gah! I think I’m in swoony heaven right now! My word. The Contract by Melanie Moreland is so utterly captivating, so addicting, so beautiful. My heart can’t take the transformation that happens in this book. Its literally breath taking.

Written perfectly, The Contract follows Richard and Katy through lies and deceit, power, hurt, anger and sadness. Before developing into pure bliss. A stunning love story packed with an infinite amount of feels. As a reader, so fully sucked into the book, I fell in love with the characters as they did. My feelings were the same as theirs and I felt as though I was IN the story with them.

From the start it’s pretty easy to guess how the book will develop.. You can predict what is going to happen. BUT what you can’t predict is HOW it happens and I have to admit, reading The Contract was nothing like I predicted, only BETTER. As I mentioned the characters development over the story is nothing but gripping.
Richard is an absolute a*se, not going to lie. I can’t count the amount of times I wanted to smack him, but I reveled in the fact that I could see what was going and I couldn’t wait for him to eat his words..
Katy was the perfect heroine for this book. So utterly sweet and adorable. My heart ached for her. Her personal journey and pain and her reasons for signing the contract blew me away. Katy is so easy to connect too, so easy to love. In fact this whole book is easy to love.

This is my first book by Melanie, it won’t be my last. Her writing is powerful, story telling effortless.

5 captivating, sign my heart away stars.

A tyrant by day, a playboy by night. That is the reputation that precedes Richard VanRyan. He lives life the way he wants, no concern for the opinion of others. He cares for no one, is completely unrepentant, and he has no desire to change his ways.

Katharine Elliott works under Richard as his PA. She despises him and his questionable ethics, but endures all the garbage he sends her way, because she needs the job. Her end goal is far more important than the daily abuse and demands she tolerates from her nasty tyrant of a boss.

Until the day, he asks her for something she never expected. A new role with a personal contract— fiancée instead of PA.

What happens when two people who loathe each other, have to live together and act as though they are madly in love?

Sparks.

That’s what happens.

Can the power of love really change a person?

Will they survive the contract?

What do you do when the one person you hate the most becomes the one person you can’t live without?

For Now is a sensational, heart breaking read that thoroughly gripped me while breaking my heart.
Lane and Al are beautiful. A couple so strong, so stunning. Forged from the greatest friendship they move their relationship on while dealing with tragic, heartbreaking problems but blossom into a strong, sexy couple. Their love and passion blazes through the story and there are some insanely hot, sensual moments.
And just when I think my heart is going to be able to be put back together. Bam! That ending……

4.5 beautifully broken stars

My name is Lane Sheridan… at least that’s what most of America thinks. I’ve made myself into who I am today with the help of my two best friends. Braydon, the musician, is more of a brother to me than my real ones. Then there’s Alexis…
my Alexis.
I’ve always dreamed of making her mine but am too scared to make the move.
I’m waiting on test results that will change my entire life. Now all I need to ask myself is… do I keep her at arm’s length, or bring her close…
Only if it is just For Now?
*This is book 1 of a 3 book series. This book ends in a cliffhanger*
18+ audience only for language and sexual situations.

Holy moly, just when I thought my heart would possibly start to get better, M. Dauphin gives us For Her and breaks me even more, and it’s sooo good!
This devastating follow up to For Now was incredibly emotional. I pretty much cried the whole way through. And the whole time I loved every minute.
I thought I loved Lane, but Braydon, OMG. M. Dauphin has seriously changed my mind, messed with my emotions and left me a wreck of thrilling, beautiful feels.
I would really love to write more about this book but in doing so I’ll give too much away and it would sincerely spoil everything that is good about this book.
This series is a hit so far and I sincerely hope that my heart is fixed fully after book 3.

4.5 devastating heartbreaking stars

*Book 2 in the Broken Promises series by M. Dauphin. Book 1- For Now- DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN’T READ BOOK 1*

He promised me once he would give me the world.
All he gave me was memories that flood my vision every time I close my eyes.
So I don’t. I can’t.
I’m not as strong as him.
*18+ due to adult situations.

Just when you think you can’t take any more epic feels M. Dauphin rocks out For Us and absolutely kills it.
Like the two previous books in the series this book grabbed hold of my attention and held me captive.
While not nearly as heart wrenching, For Us is still packed with overwhelming feels that rendered me speechless. I laughed, cried, loved, hated and swooned. In other words M. Dauphin sent my emotions into a tail spin.
For Us is a brilliant end to Alexis’ story. Braydon is written exceptionally well in this book. I adore him, my feelings go way past love. He’s perfect! The relationship between Braydon and Alexis is so strong and true that I honestly don’t miss Lane one bit. #sorrynotsorry
The whole broken promises series is an enthralling, heartbreaking series of books that have drawn me in and filled me with stunning feelings while taking me on a beautiful journey. I’ve enjoyed every word, every tear, every tug at my soul and every shatter of my heart. For Us ends the series beautifully and better than I expected. That shattered heart I’ve encountered through this series is now wondrously full.

5 stunning, emotional, epic stars .

My life has been peaches and cream up until a few months ago when it was all ripped away. Not the type of destruction you can see coming, either. A type that takes everything from happy thoughts to mass chaos in mere seconds.
Now, I’m left to pick up the pieces of this mess.
Pieces, including my best friend’s girl.
She’s the girl I’d bring home to mom if I still had a mom. She’s the girl I picture having Sunday dinners with at grandma’s house if we did that shit.
But we don’t.
All I know is this… she’s the best damn girl I’ve ever known… and I’m a total tool for wanting her.
I’m Braydon Simms… and this is my story.
