My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A nail-biter of a twisty, thrilling, and touching tale, Last Kiss bleeds angst, pouring passion from the pages straight to your heart and soul. Like a kiss, this story is scorching, sensual, and seductive. Last Kiss is not just a book—it’s the ultimate escape from reality where you are utterly immersed and intoxicated. You are folded into this story so deeply that Last Kiss bleeds into your world, haunts your head, and dances in your dreams. This book becomes you. You are Last Kiss.

From the very first page, I’m on edge. Anxious. Afraid. Enchanted. Energized. I dive in. I devour Last Kiss. Last Kiss devours me, eating me alive. I want to slow down and enjoy the ride. I want to race through this incredible and intoxicating read but, like a gravitational force, the pull is too strong to slow down. Last Kiss quickly steals my breath, my thoughts, and my emotions. Pulse pounding. Brain bending. Tears tricking. Body burning. Soul soaring. I am drowning in feels.

Last Kiss is a thriller. A suspense. A romance. So many things rolled into one amazing adventure. This adrenaline rush of a read has hypnotized me. Held me. Haunted me. Hurt me. Healed me. The adventure is so raw and real that I feel that Last Kiss. I’m addicted. I’m awe-struck. I’m alive.

Beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed, and curvy Emily Wayborn is a character I love yet hate. She is fearless but spineless. Endearing yet annoying. Such a contradiction. Co-dependent and clingy, Emily depends on others too much for her own happiness and it drives me crazy! Emily has faced tragedy after tragedy but is still a survivor, and I have to applaud her for being so strong.

Reeve Sallis is a gorgeous, tall, dark-haired and blue-eyed billionaire. Powerful. Passionate. Penetrating. Possessive. Predator. Reeve is a man of many layers. I love him. I loathe him. Reeve owns Emily. Reeve owns me.

Emily is reeling from Amber’s return. The best friend who was supposed to be dead. The one who is now in the middle of whatever it is that’s forming between Reeve and Emily. Emily is unsure where she stands and unnerved.

“I turned to the man who held her. Who moments ago was my man—now I wasn’t so sure.”

Turmoil thrusts throughout the story like a dragon breathing fire. My heart breaks for Emily whose relationship with Reeve is now compromised and more complicated than ever. Reeve let her get close and now that slow building trust may be for nothing. Emily is bathing in a bath of betrayal as Reeve realizes he was merely a pawn in her act of revenge.

“I’d let him in, let him consume me and yet I’d still kept him at a distance, even when I knew he’d tried to let me in.”

Truths unfold as Emily and Reeve confess, leaving both disappointed. Deceived. Devastated.

“He’d wanted me to trust him because he wanted me to love him.”

Emily doesn’t fully trust Reeve but she wants to. She wants to love and trust this man and give him everything she has. Everything she is. Everything she wants to be.

“You feel me. Right now you feel me, Emily. That’s where I am—inside you. All the time, I’m there. No matter whose bed you sleep in.”

Gah! These powerful and poignant words pull at my heartstrings. The feels flow HARD. Reeve is intense and incredible. I LOVE this complex but caring man. I can’t stop swooning. I don’t want to.

“I wish you could see this Emily. You’re so beautiful like this. Bent over and open for me.”

The chemistry burns hot like fire. So intense and intoxicating. I’m melting. My body is aflame. Reeve can just take me NOW.

“He loved me. He loved me enough to say it out loud. But he’d loved her too. Yes. I did belong to him. But I belonged to Amber too.”

Danger has pushed Reeve’s former and current loves under the same roof. While two is company, three is a crowd. Emily is ready to throw it all away. Concede and let Amber hold the cards….again.

“Amber’s presence changed everything. I made promises to her long before I’d thought about making promised to Reeve.”

I want to hug Emily yet hit her hard to knock some much-needed sense into her. She has let Amber control her too hard and too long. Emily is the puppet and Amber is the puppeteer pulling the strings. Emily puts Amber above Reeve. Above her. Above happiness and love. Above everything.

“Hell was cold and ice and emptiness. Hell was watching the one I’d grasped to so tightly slip through my fingers. Hell was realizing the one I’d come to love would never choose to love me.”

All is fair in love and war. This is war. A bloody battle for love where ashes are left after the heart is burned. One where there is no winner.

“I want to break you.”
“You do. You do break me. Every time.”

Last Kiss broke me. Bewildered me. Branded me. Breathed fire and life into me like a last kiss. I cried hopeless tears. Happy tears. Hopeful tears. Last Kiss captivated and crushed me ceaselessly. I was held prisoner by this heart-hitting story, hoping for a happily ever after to follow the broken trust and beautiful disaster that was Last Kiss.

In Laurelin Paige’s most explosive and emotionally-wrenching romance yet, Last Kiss is a powerful and poignant tale that permeates straight to the soul. It’s dark, dirty, and decadent like a kiss with heat and heart hidden in the core. It’s lust, loathing, and love but so much more. Last Kiss leaves a longing that may never leave as it touches all the right spots. I fell in love with both First Touch and Last Kiss, and I’m not ready to let them go.

A Wildly Seductive Night by Lauren Blakely

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Wildly Seductive Night seduces the senses, blazes the body, and hugs the heart in a love story that stands the test of time. Two of Lauren Blakely’s most beloved characters are reunited and it feels so good! Dominant. Daring. Dirty. Delectable. This story steams you straight into the panty-free zone. Scorching hot meets sweetness in a love affair that attaches itself quickly to your heart while heating your body in a Wildly Seductive Night.

I nearly had a bookgasm when I heard Lauren Blakely was giving readers more Julia and Clay—more of one of the hottest couples to blow up books! Like the rest of the Seductive Nights series, this story is smoldering. SMOKIN’ HOT. A Wildly Seductive Night is so scorching that the heat oozed off of the pages straight into my panties.

Clay and Julia Nichols are back and they are hotter than ever! Married with a little lady…no problem! They still steam up sheets and walls every day and everywhere. Julia and Clay rock marriage like newlyweds and keep the spark scorching.

“I think you want a man who knows how to f**k his woman.”

Oh yes I do, Clay. This sexy suited god knows how to use his tool, his mouth and more.

“One smell of you and I’m ready to devour you. One taste and I want to smother my face in you.”

Clay is as possessive as ever. He worships his wife, Julia, inside and out and I love it! He is dirty and domineering yet a caring and doting dad. So sexy! Clay is the perfect package.

“Be naked when I get home. I need my mouth all over that beautiful body of yours…Always in the mood to eat you…I’m still thinking about my tongue between your legs.”

Oh. My. Thigh. Clench. My e-reader and I are suddenly scorching hot. I want to pounce on Clay through the pages.

I loved this glimpse into Clay and Julia’s life post marriage and baby. Despite being busy with work and raising a little lady, they make time for each other. Marriage is keeping the spark alive through a little work and a lot of creativity, and Julia and Clay steamed up my e-reader more than ever!

A Wildly Seductive Night seduced me HARD, heating me the whole journey yet tugging my heart along the way. I was swept into Clay and Julia’s beautiful and burning-hot love affair and Clay as a doting daddy is pure sweetness and swoon. This love story is special because it’s refreshing and real. I could read about this captivating couple all day and am so grateful that Lauren Blakely gave readers more of the naughty but nice Nichols.

Review – Duncan: The Deal

June 10, 2016June 10, 2016Leave a comment

Duncan : The Deal by Jade Sinner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Duncan: The Deal is a fire-hot, funny, and forbidden romance that seduces and scorches like the hottest kiss, hitting the heart along the way. Body blazing. Thighs trembling. Soul swooning. Grab a spare set of panties or ten, sit back and enjoy what is one riveting and racy ride.

Duncan Willis is Kimberly ‘Kimbra’ Jones’ oh-so-panty-melting-hot boss. Black hair. Green eyes. A sex god. One look from Duncan is an instant thigh clencher.

“Mr. Willis is half of Buchanan and Willis Pharmaceuticals…It’s not that he’s smart and rich – even if he is. It’s that he’s sex on a stick.”

Kimbra with her auburn hair and blue eyes has an hour glass figure that would make Marilyn Monroe jealous. Little does she know that her boss has the hots for her as well.

“Kimbra Jones is a vision, one I never expected to walk into my office.”

Catching her boss in a rather compromising position at the company gives Kimbra an idea that could end up benefiting them both: Be her pretend boyfriend for her sister’s wedding.

“We have to make them believe we are dating.”

To make the charade real, they must test out the chemistry equation. Steam up the sheets or floor or wall to see if they are a physical match.

“Kimbra, no promises, but for this weekend, I’ll be the best boyfriend you’ve ever had. I’m ready to see if my imagination has been even close when it comes to what’s under your skirt.”

The head of human resources, Kimbra knows what a violation of company policy it would be to act out her hot boss fantasies, but she is in too deep. The Duncan effect has cast a spell spiked with sex and scorching heat.

“The sensual lips that swallow my protest and zap my pussy, as it sends hot chills—yes, HOT CHILLS—straight through me. His kiss consumes…I should stop this. I should pull away.”

Duncan dishes out dirty talk that zaps my panties with heat to where my e-reader and I are both on fire.

“I bet if I lifted this skirt higher, I’d find you wet and ready. I bet in no time at all I could make you whimper.”

“Pretend.”

“My cock isn’t pretending.”

Holy mother of molten heat. The heat, oh did it soar off the pages right to my body, sending it to such a scorching level that I contemplated a cold shower break.

When boss and worker with off-the-charts chemistry collide or more like combust, it’s a frenzy of forbidden fireworks. Sex without strings. A fake relationship where on the physical part is real as you have to test the goods, right?!?

“You taste f**king fantastic. Tonight, in your bedroom, I want you to know I plan on burying my face in your pussy.”

It seems like the perfect plan. Fake a relationship. The one part of the plan they didn’t count on was it feeling oh so real.

“I keep telling myself this is pretend. I know we aren’t really boyfriend and girlfriend. I know that come Tuesday at work, my carriage will turn back into a pumpkin and I’ll only have one shoe.”

Duncan is the real deal—a breath of fresh air that lights you up with laughter and laces you with lust. This short story packed with sex and sin while sugared with sweetness wrapped me up in its web of seduction and left me panting for more. My panties were panting for more too.

Two romance authors bled into one power pack called Jade Sinner. Who is this Jade Sinner who’s hit the romance world like a storm with a spicy and seductive little number called Duncan: The Deal?!? This dynamic duo has banged out a short story packed with steam, and it would be a sin not to meet this team’s wonderful work.

4.5 deliciously dirty debut stars

View all my reviews

He’s dirty-talking and sex on a stick.

Duncan Willis should be on GQ, not the co-owner of the company where I work. He’s my boss, and he’s also arrogant and cocky, knowing how to melt panties with just a smirk. That’s why I’ve avoided him.

I might fantasize about him, but I don’t need that in my life.

Until…

Until I catch him—OK, hear him—in a compromising position.

Yes, it was hot, but that’s not the point.

I need a date for one weekend. He needs me to keep quiet about what I witnessed.

It’s the perfect blackmail…the perfect deal.

Until…

Until one weekend of fantasy leaves me wanting more.

Read this cheesy, predictable, short, hot, and steamy book and learn how fantasy can become reality! Duncan: The Deal, is a standalone with a guaranteed HEA. Don’t miss your next bookgasm.

Review – Found by Carrie Aarons

Found Ecover

Review graphic

What an incredible triumph Found is!

From the very first lines of the prologue to the heart warming and oh so satisfying ending, Tucker and Charlotte’s story is one of heartbreak, frustration, acceptance and love in its true form. I could not have been happier with this story. What an awesome ending to the Captive Hearts duet. I certainly felt unsure of how Tucker and Char’s story would end. They found love and forgiveness in Lost. But Found began in a way I had hoped would not but knew it had to….

Tucker has gone to prison.

The story begins three years after Tucker has gone to prison for kidnapping and robbery. Their love story has become even more sensationalized because Charlotte chose to marry her kidnapper. Now after three years of weekend visits and no real connection, Tucker and Charlotte must begin yet again to build a relationship. They both have their illusions, doubts, even hopes and dreams now that they can be together. But even the best laid plans have holes along the way.

There’s so much that has changed. There are so many adjustments to make. Life before prison was tough for Tucker. Life in prison was a struggle for survival, with Tucker bottling up all his feelings and never really showing his wife just how lost he was. Life after prison meant facing his failures and trying to find Tucker again, using his voice and being the man that his wife deserves. Charlotte has formed her own world while her husband has been away. She’s found her voice, her passion in her work, new friends that round out her world. Where does Tucker fit in all of that? Can he?

The physical has never been an issue with these two. They are drawn together like bees to honey. The white hot chemistry? Yeah, still there. The book is incredibly sexy but what is so captivating is watching Tucker and Charlotte fighting for what they have always wanted – each other. This is the story of two tortured souls finding strength and faith in themselves first, dealing with the demons that stalked them, stripping away the fantasy and truly coming back better than they dreamt possible. It was a privilege to see that happen. The road back to their HEA was definitely not a smooth, easy ride. But what an awesome HEA it was! I laughed, cheered, cried and swooned so much. What a fantastic ending for a couple that has become one of my favorites!

Well done, Carrie! This duet is your best work yet! Amazing!

5 What a GREAT ending Kisses!

FOUND-live

We found each other where no else could.

Found a purpose. Found ourselves. Found love.

Again.

But then life got in the way.

Three years later and the people that we once were are nowhere to be found.

Can our love survive everything we’ve put it through?

Can we find a way back to each other…

Again?

Review – Lost by Carrie Aarons

Lost

Review graphic

I’m a little at a loss for words. This was definitely a story that made me feel so many things… disappointment, angry, loss. This book is unlike anything that I have read from Carrie or truly any thing that I have read in a long time. To see a character take such a drastic and dramatic turn in his life, from being on top of the world and having everything – to falling so hard and so fast and having nothing. It was stunning, thought provoking and on more than one occassion, Tucker absolutely broke my heart.

From golden boy to simply struggling to survive. And it was a hard thing to watch.

Charlotte has her own issues, her own insecurities. Her own thoughts and wishes kept quiet. Trying to live up to the image her overbearing bitch of a mother has set in place for her since childhood. She and Tucker had been neighbors as children. He never noticed her, but she always sees him. Always wanted him. And then one day, he noticed her. But he never had the guts to acknowledge her. He destroys her. But she can never let him go.

It seemed fate found a way to bring these two back together in a way neither one of them expected, giving them the second chance to heal old hurts, mend broken fences and experience love the way it was meant to be experienced – openly, joyfully and with complete abandon… knowing that reality would soon be at their doorstep. The magic and chemistry between Tucker and Charlotte didn’t dim because they had been apart. If anything time, distance and chaos only made their feelings deeper. Watching them rebuild their unstable relationship, it got very easy to root for them. But reality was ugly.

I’m still stunned at the ending. I’m still reeling from intensity of emotions. I feel like I rode the craziest rollercoaster and I’m still tilting. It was simply one of the most complex, sensual and emotional charged stories from one of the most talented authors that I am fortunate to know. If anything this story from Carrie shows that she is not afraid to go outside of her comfort zones to produce a book that bucks the trends. It’s gritty, honest and it hurts. It’s bold, brash and brave. Great job, Carrie. Truly great job.

We knew each other a lifetime ago. And then…

We lost childhoods. We lost opportunities. We lost love.

Fate is giving us another chance. But a chance at what?

Because even though we’ve been brought back to each other under the worst of circumstances…

We are still. So. Damn. Lost.

Review: Backfire by Keri Lake

June 9, 2016June 17, 20161 Comment

I have been a fan of Keri Lake since I read Soul Avenged years and years ago! I love how she can turn dark and gritty into a beautiful, perfect love story. Backfire was no different and I immediately fell in love with the characters, the story, and the setting. Backfire was dark, gritty, romance perfection. Keri Lake weaves a story that is unapologetic with a beautiful darkness that will leave you breathless, on the edge of your seat, and begging for more and more. I. COULD. NOT. PUT. IT. DOWN!

“Shit thing about life is, when you throw an immovable object into the path of a bullet, it doesn’t follow any laws or principles. It backfires.”

Lucy is a beautiful, intelligent woman who dropped out of college after her mother’s death. She works for an underground newspaper and has a job at a strip club doing graphics for their advertisement. Doing what she needs to do to get by day by day and pay the bills. Lucy is into thrill seeking photography called urbex. When Lucy is out shooting a desolate, run down, abandoned building she is witness and records a gruesome crime. Little did she know, the thrill seeking had just begun.

“When I was seven, my mother told me that there were devils cloaked as angels, and that I would learn to see beyond their masks. Fifteen years later, though, and I could still be fooled.”

Jase is a panty-dropping, hotter than sin, bad boy. He’s had a rough childhood….a rough life all around. After being thrust into a salt mine prison for over a year, he is released by an unexpected adversary. Jase has a thirst for blood. He was to wreak vengeance on those who have wronged him and taken those he loved from him. His first task though? Find the one behind the camera who ratted him out in the first place. The one, who was responsible for him being imprisoned.

……but he has a time limit, or he could be the one who ends up dead.

“Five weeks to hunt down the men who destroyed my life. Five weeks to exact my revenge.”

While Keri Lake has a natural talent for bringing the dark, and gritty elements to her stories she also has some humor thrown in as well. Things such as…

“damn tit-slinging ninja.”

Had me giggling like a school girl. The dark elements were gritty. The sex was undeniably hot and erotic. The building of the relationship between the hero and the heroine was perfect. The slow gradual build of trust was exactly as is should be. Their was a familiarity between the two characters that neither one could put their finger on. The push and pull between the two of the made me want to yell at them! They both fought their attraction, their connection to each other, until they could fight no more.

“I didn’t want shelter or safety from his storm. I wanted to be swept up and taken away, spiraling out of control with him.”

I have been a Keri Lake fan for a long time and will continue to love and support her phenomenal work! She never disappoints! This book had everything I love and more! The dark, the romance, the sex, the ups and downs and twists and turns that you never see coming! Backfire had me on the edge of my seat, flipping page after page wondering……WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!?! This book had me biting my nails with the suspense and anticipation of what was to come. Keri Lake definitely delivered with this phenomenally written, beautifully dark book! I can’t wait for what comes next!!

“When you want something bad enough, you can’t be afraid of the fall.”

5 Dark, Gritty Stars!!

No matter how unbreakable he may seem, every man has a weakness.

A year ago, my home became a bloodstained crime scene. That night marked the

beginning of my hell—the same night I was tortured by my enemies and tossed into an

underground prison to die.

They failed. I survived.

Now that I’m free, only one motive burns in my soul: revenge.

Lucky for me, they think Jase Hawkins is dead. Maybe I am. I’ve got nothing but a cold,

merciless rage, and Black Betty, the sharp steel blade that never leaves my side.

Then she drifts into my life.

Lucia wants answers—so much so, she’s willing to fall into the darkness where my

enemies lie in wait, to kill her for what she knows.

Or to take her for the depraved fantasies her body alone can rouse in a man’s mind.

Me? I want her for the fire in her touch that feeds my addiction, forces me to feel what

has become numb, but my appetite for bloodshed runs deeper than flesh.

For my own sanity, I’ve vowed to stay away from her. Because she’s my only weakness,

an obsession that leaves me craving more—one that could make even the most steadfast

plan backfire.

Dual Review: Strange Magic & Dream Magic by Michelle Mankin

June 7, 2016June 7, 2016Leave a comment

What a fun read, such a wild ride of twists and turns that I never wanted to end! Michelle outdid herself when she wrote Strange Magic and completely surpassed my expectations with Dream Magic! This story had me turning page after page until I was finished!

Beautiful, Courage, Strength, Love, Loyalty. All words that describe the heroine in Dream Magic. She loves fiercely and would do anything to protect those she loves. Cecelia (CiCi) has been dealt a tough had by fate. She has become the prisoner of a cruel man who forces her to Prophesy, draining her energy from her. She has come to terms with her fate. No one will be able to rescue her. She’ll never be free again. She’ll never find love.

Morpheus, we all know and love, from Strange Magic is our hero in this book. He’s still a sexy as hell Falcon, and the fastest supernatural alive! He sets out on a journey to recover something that was taken. The only way they can find it, is with the Oracle’s help. Morpheus gets the shock of his life when he realizes…..

….he and CiCi are Fated!

With CiCi being a prisoner, what will happen?

In Dream Magic, you are reunited with the characters that we fell in love with in Strange Magic. Thyme, Billy, Arla, and Shane!

Michelle Mankin did a phenomenal job with her world building. I was all consumed with this book, the unique story line, and the characters. I fell in love all over again with the previous characters and fell just as hard for the new characters I was introduced to (CiCi, Amelia, Fiori, Stone). Dream Magic had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I had to know what was going to happen next! I didn’t put it down until I was finished! I was left with my mouth hanging open and a wtf expression on my face I’m sure cause……I DID NOT see that coming! I need the next book like, now!

Michelle as a beautiful talent for writing unique stories with romance, and twists and turns that will leave you breathless and begging for more! I can’t wait to see what stories she dreams up next for her readers! I can’t wait!

5 Magically Thrilling Stars!!!

The dreamscape is a place of magic and mystery and meaning. In that nocturnal realm, ideas, images, sensations and emotions drift on the currents of the unconscious mind.
Morpheus the Dream Falcon is most at home in that domain. By night, the one of a kind winged immortal soars on those winds, observing and sometimes even entering the slumbering thoughts of another. By day, he is a highly sought after mercenary feared by his immortal kin for both his unmatched ferocity and his wicked obsidian talons. None of his prey escapes him.
Cecilia Ramirez y Aguilera is the one he truly wants. But the striking oracle of the Court of the Light Immortals is closed to the handsome outlaw, even in her dreams. Broken by unimaginable losses, the seer is but a slave, subject to the whims of a master who is mad and without mercy.
Drawn together by fate, their impossible passion ignites. But will that be enough given the dangerous secrets each keeps from the other? Or will mistrust and the desire for revenge threaten to unravel the powerful magic that binds them?

Romance. Action. Angst. Strange Magic had it all, and more! I loved this book! As soon as I began reading it, I was completely immersed in the story line. Michelle Mankin is phenomenal author. Her words made me feel as if I were there with the characters. It was like I was watching a wonderful movie that I didn’t want to end!

Thyme Bellrose is a beautiful young woman, raised by her grandmother most of her life. She lived a quiet life working in their ice cream shop, helping out neighbors, and dating the love of her life. She was just a normal girl

….or so she thought.

Billy Blade is a sexy famous musician. He lives his days playing music, drowning his sorrows in a bottle of whisky and having random girls warm his bed at night. He has a supernatural gift that scares him and he doesn’t think anyone will believe him.

Both Thyme and Billy are tortured souls for very different reasons.

When they finally meet, it’s beyond obvious that they are meant for each other.

….but how can that be, when Thyme is……a Ghost?!?

This story was packed with so much action, romance, and twists and turns that I couldn’t put it down. It was a phenomenal read and I can’t wait to see what Michelle Mankin will deliver next!

5 Magical Stars!!!

Billy Blade is a hardworking, hard living, razor sharp musical force. Mysterious behind his dark shades, the rough around the edges Texan mesmerizes with his haunting harmonica and tantalizes with his dangerous looks and smooth country charm. His latest album is topping the charts. He’s the newly crowned King of the Bacchus Krewe. He’s definitely living the rock star dream.
Exotic Creole beauty Thyme Bellerose couldn’t be more content. She has it all. An adoring grandmother. A handsome Tulane medical student beau. A satisfying job in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter. Her life is as rich as the ice cream she creates. She’s got everything under control.
But control is an illusion. Dreams can turn into nightmares. And now during Mardi Gras, otherworldly powers stand ready to shape their destinies in ways they could never imagine.
Shadow and light. Magic and mystery. Reality and myth. All come together in a place where rules bend and lines blur. Even those between life and death.

Everywhere and Every Way by Jennifer Probst

A fun read! With sweet romance, angst, hot brothers, a feisty southern belle, and two adorable giant dogs! Ahhh I loved this book! What can I say? This is a story of hate turned love! It was wonderful! Probst had me flipping page after page to find out what would happen! I couldn’t put it down! Forget Property Brothers; give me Pierce Brothers!

Cal Pierce has been running Pierce Brother’s Construction alongside his dad for as long as he can remember. He and his brothers have been estranged, not speaking for 5 years, after unfortunate circumstances occurred. His fathers passing brings them all back together. Why? Because their unloving, likes to have the last laugh and word, father put the stipulation in the will: no one will get Pierce Brother’s unless they all agree to work together. One year working together. One year living under the same roof. Tension and emotions run high between these insanely hot brothers. Can they fix what broke their bond in the past?

Morgan Raines is a sexy, feisty southern belle. She’s a professional interior design consultant to famous people. She is the point of contact between builder and client when they want a house built and she has never failed at delivering the perfect house, with the perfect design to her clients. When the “darlings of Hollywood” hire her to build them a house in Harrington, she has to have the best construction company around! That company……Pierce Brother’s Construction!

When Cal turns down her job offer, it doesn’t deter Morgan. She’s dead set on getting what she wants. She’ll do anything, even manipulation.

I truly loved Everywhere and Every Way. It’s a wonderful start to the Billionaire Builders series and I can’t wait for the next release! The gradual growth of respect and then love between Cal and Morgan was heartwarming. Probst nailed it with this book!

5 Stud Stars!!!

Hot on the heels of her beloved Marriage to a Billionaire novels, New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst nails it with the first in an all-new sexy romance series featuring red-hot contractor siblings who give the Property Brothers a run for their money!

Ever the responsible eldest brother, Caleb Pierce started working for his father’s luxury contracting business at a young age, dreaming of one day sitting in the boss’s chair. But his father’s will throws a wrench in his plans by stipulating that Caleb share control of the family business with his two estranged brothers.

Things only get more complicated when demanding high-end home designer Morgan hires Caleb to build her a customized dream house that matches her specifications to a T—or she’ll use her powerful connections to poison the Pierce brothers’ reputation. Not one to ignore a challenge, Caleb vows to get the job done—if only he can stop getting distracted by his new client’s perfect…amenities.

But there’s more to icy Morgan than meets the eye. And Caleb’s not the only one who knows how to use a stud-finder. In fact, Morgan is pretty sure she’s found hers—and he looks quite enticing in a hard hat. As sparks fly between Morgan and Caleb despite his best intentions not to mix business and pleasure, will she finally warm up and help him lay the foundation for everlasting love?

Review – Wicked Love by Michelle Valentine

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.

Four wicked sweet stars

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.

After her father was caught embezzling, Avery’s comfortable life in the city was blown to bits. But meeting Tyler helped to pick up the pieces and eased her into country living. She just never expected the handsome musician would add to her heartbreak by walking away without a backward glance.

Now, three years later, rock star Tyler’s come back, hat in hand. He’s found fame and fortune as a member of Wicked White, but it’s all worth nothing without Avery’s love. Can she forgive him for leaving when she needed him most? Or will the ghost of their past keep them apart?
