Stone and Campbell’s love may have came fast, but their attraction for each other has been brewing for a year. Stone was sweet and so caring, I love the man he wanted to be for Campbell. They saved each other when they needed saving the most. Stone was a very sexual man and that’s just the man she needed him to be. They were a great fit. This story was very mellow, but very well written. Every struggle that Campbell had and as a couple with Stone I felt. Struggle of everyday life felt so real. This was a really sweet, emotional and sexy read, I truly enjoyed going through all the ups and downs of Stone and Campbell’s love story. Another great book from Author Prescott Lane. Thanks for sharing.

A Fool For Love is a story that truly captures the meaning of love, understanding, finding oneself and the endless possibilities of what life has to offer. In Karen Ferry’s second novel, Ms. Ferry took a chance. A chance on a different kind of love story. She allowed readers to go behind the eyes of a young woman finding herself as she ventures out to a new city and discovers what truly matters in her life. And just maybe this new journey allows a young woman to find the love that she was missing.

Suzy has always been an open book. Open with her sexuality. She knows who is she is. She is bisexual. Love her or hate her but that’s who Suzy is. Her parents on the other hand have swept over their daughter’s sexuality and so when Suzy decides to move to New York City temporary, Suzy begins to comfortable in her own skin. New city. New beginnings. And possibly new love.

Garrett on the other hand is a closed book. He is broken with a past and so when he meets Suzy, something about her openness and vivacious personality attracts him. As a much older man than Suzy, he tries to stay away since he doesn’t want to taint her innocence with his baggage and strong sexual desires. But what Garrett doesn’t realize, this young woman had awaken his dormant heart. When it comes to love, does love make you a fool?

Karen Ferry really exploits a real love. It is messy. It is raw. It makes you vulnerable. It’s two fools falling in love. And in this beautiful honest love story, Ms. Ferry showcases a story where love is for fools, wise enough to take a chance. So if you are looking for a story where depth, passion, growth, understanding, healing, and new beginnings are integrated into a beautiful love story then this book is for you. If Karen made you a believer in love in the first book, then she will make you a fool who is wise enough to let love in.

Office Romance….ummm yes please!!!!! A JA Huss book….you already know the answer to that. A JA Huss office romance book...all there is left to say is "OMG gimme." So you could imagine my excitement when Ms. Huss announced that she will be writing five office romance books. That’s right, five Misters. And the first Mister is Mr. Perfect. All there is left to say is Hey Mister…. Why do they call you Mr. Perfect?

“I want your lips wrapped around my cock, Ellie. Wrapped around so tight it feels better than your pussy.”

#MrPerfect1

Perfection. Who wouldn’t want the perfect life? Romance? The white picket fence? The 2.5 children? And of course the perfect man. And for Ellie Hatcher she wanted that life. Well if you looked up her secret Pinterest board, she wanted that perfect life. Some would say she’s crazy. Delusional. But for Ellie Hatcher, she didn’t care. It was the life that she wanted. The perfect life with Mr. Perfect. Well, the guy she lusted for whom she thought was Mr. Perfect. But as it turns out, nothing is perfect in Ellie’s life….that is until the real Mr. Perfect walked into her life. Or is he really perfect?

“I have been perplexed by men before. Hell, I’m probably perplexed by most men. But this particular man has my jaw hanging open . How can he be so damn hot and so damn despicable at the same time?”

Ellie has been working for Stonewall Entertainment for seven years and has done everything she could and want from her job. After a while, her job held little excitement for her. That is until her new boss arrived. McAllister Stonewall, a powerful CEO billionaire who practically looked like he stepped off from a photo shoot of GQ magazine.

#MrPerfect

McAllister Stonewall is one gorgeous and stunning man. He exudes confidence, power, control, and a naughty sinful side. He is Mr. Perfect. His life should be perfect...right? Money, Confidence, Power and all that. So when Mr. Perfect gets a hold of the naughty messages Ellie has been sending to her former boss, Heath, Ellie is taken aback on how embarrassing that Mac has read every dirty thoughts, fantasies and seen her secret Pinterest boards. So what does any sane woman do...she hands in her resignation to avoid further humiliation and embarrassment.

photo ef28330e0b98da1e80a4748e5338a1_zpsf8bpitoc.gif

“It’s not the way he looks. That’s not what’s got my attention. I do like his bossiness. Which walks that fine line just between rude and fuck-hot. It’s definitely a contributor. I guess it’s all of that put together that makes him seem so… perfect. Maybe too perfect?”

Well, Mr. Perfect can’t let that happen since Ellie is a top employee and all their celebrity clients love her. So he offers Ellie a promotion and also fulfills her sexual fantasies. Mac is well aware that Ellie is attracted to him and so he does what every powerful CEO does. He takes control. He makes Ellie his. He pleases her in every dirty naughty way and Ellie loves it.

The chemistry between Ellie and Mac is off the charts HOT!!! Literally these two could set off the smoke detectors with their hot sexual attraction to one another. Let’s just say Mr. Perfect has perfected his way in pleasing a woman.

#MrPerfect2

It can’t be JA Huss book without her little plot twists and secret revelations and so Ms. Huss had to incorporate her stamp of shocking the readers and keeping them on their toes by incorporating as to why Mr. Perfect was given that moniker. And of course, we are given an introduction to Mr. Romantic, Mr. Corporate, Mr. Match and Mr. Mysterious.

photo ef28330e0b98da1e80a4748e5338a1_zpsf8bpitoc.gif

“The special part comes later. When I push you face-first up against this window, squishing your tits against the cold glass as I pull your trousers down and finger your pussy until you come. That’s the part you won’t forget, Ellie. You’ll never remember how this food tasted. Good, or sweet, or whatever will be the only takeaway from that. But the morning your boss finger-fucked you up against your office window? Now that is a memory you’ll be masturbating to for years.”

All there is left to say Mr. Perfect was a perfect blend of erotic romance, humor, passion, and surprises. Is there a perfect happily ever after ending….I guess you have to read to find out. But what I can tell you it’s the perfect JA Huss ending and introduction to the Mister Series. On that note, go read this fun, sexy and sinfully entertaining read and discover why falling in love with a perfectly imperfect person is PERFECT.

Attention ladies…. Katy Evans has done it again. That’s right, Katy has readers like myself salivating and swooning for Tahoe Roth. So who is Tahoe Roth? Well, he is cocky, playful, naughty, and not the guy you bring home to your parents. He is definitely not the guy you date. He’s the one night stand kind of guy who would fulfill all your dirty sexual fantasies. Tahoe Roth is a manwhore. A ladies man.

photo 3f685d86a03ed3cc29f10c7152d5ff_zpsspyaz0hn.gif

Frustration is eating at me. I want to grab his wet hair and kiss him. I want to pull him underwater and kiss him. I want to take him home and kiss him. I want him to take me home and kiss me. ”

Tahoe Roth is rich, exuberant, and sexy as fuck. As a bonafide manwhore, there is no shortage of ladies wanting attention from him. Behind his deep rich blue eyes, Tahoe has a secret and past. And in order to really know Tahoe, you have to get past his cocky exterior and break down those walls. Only his close friends and family knows the real Tahoe Roth.

#ladiesMan2

“He’s a womanizer, he seduces women, this is what they see in him— confidence, a bit of an alpha nature, those wicked teasing words of his, that rebel streak, the laugh, the good times, the money he spends so easily, the lips, the body, I’m not even going to think about the rest but I can tell by the wear of his jeans that he’s as well-endowed there as everywhere else. ”

Gina knows that she should stay away from Tahoe and keep him in the friend zone. She knows she should keep her crush a secret but his vibrant bright blue eyes haunts her. She wants him and so when she told Tahoe of her desire to have one taste of him, he tells her no. It’s not that he doesn’t want her but he doesn’t want her to be another notch on his bedpost. A girl like Gina needs someone who would treat her special and Tahoe knows that he is not the right guy for her. But why can’t Tahoe stay away?

photo 3f685d86a03ed3cc29f10c7152d5ff_zpsspyaz0hn.gif

He holds my face utterly still as he leans in. And he gets closer, And his nose brushes lightly over mine, And his breath blends with my breath, And his lips whisper over mine. All this time I’ve been staring at him, motionless. Then his eyes start to close , and his lashes are gorgeous, and he smells like pine and hay… And his lips close firmly over mine.”

As much as Gina and Tahoe are sexually attracted to one another, they continue to stay in the friend’s zone. Friends who flirt but stays within the boundaries. As Gina decides to move on, she meets a nice guy and starts dating him. She enjoys her time with her new boyfriend but she can’t stop thinking of Tahoe. Wanting him. Having him play with her body. Knowing that Tahoe is the only that awakens her sexuality. When will Gina stop and realize that maybe she doesn’t need someone perfect for her but someone imperfect like Tahoe who makes her feel perfect?

#LadiesMan

Tahoe and Gina’s push and pull relationship was tangible and palpable from the start. Right off the opening pages, Katy Evans has readers entranced with the raw emotions trickling between Tahoe and Gina. This connection. This bond. This friendship. It was something more. More than two friends who gets along. More than best friends. Just more. And when these two finally realized that they are both beautifully broken with a past, Gina and Tahoe begins one amazing journey of love. A love that was brimming with so much passion, intensity, understanding, and truth. A love that completes them. A love where two imperfect people are perfect for each other. A love that can only be described as Tahoe and Gina.

photo 8f790d99d09f8e4a3e555ed11aa699_zps3rgaijxs.gif

“I love every part of you. I could be a thousand miles away from you, stay away from you my whole life, put an ocean between us, take a million other women in my arms, and you’re still the one I want, the only woman on my mind.”

So can a manwhore change his way? A ladies man? And the answer is, “Yes.” And Katy Evans once again reminds her readers that when you find that love, you hold onto it. Cherish it and never let it go. And for Tahoe Roth, he found his missing piece in Gina.

photo 3f685d86a03ed3cc29f10c7152d5ff_zpsspyaz0hn.gif

He’s my best friend. The only person I love to be with, want to be with, always . He’s the only man I’ve ever wanted like this.”

#ladiesMan1

Ladies Man was an absolute gem of a read. This book was everything I was looking for in a Katy Evans book. Katy didn’t disappoint her readers as she delivered a palpable love story that will have your heart bursting with so much love, understanding, truth, and passion. She held her readers hostage as we were immersed in this strong push and pull relationship that made you FEEL for Tahoe and Gina. What I especially loved about this book was that she wrote a story of two imperfect people who were perfect for one another. This is a love story where you come to love, not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly. And for Gina, her imperfect person happens to be a ladies man. Ummm, well no longer a ladies man since Gina has taken Tahoe Roth off the single market.

photo 8f790d99d09f8e4a3e555ed11aa699_zps3rgaijxs.gif

“And somehow we still crave to be with each other. Not because I’m broken and I make you feel good about yourself…because I’m not broken with you. You get me and I get you. I accept you , I cherish you. I fucking revere you. Just as you are. I want no other woman in my life and I want you to have no man but me. So I love you.”

All there is left to say is go read Ladies Man. Fall in love with this beautiful love story between two friends realizing what has been obvious from the start. Fall in love with Tahoe and his loyalty, playfulness, and his big heart. Fall in love with Gina as she discovers the real Tahoe Roth. Not Tahoe the manwhore. Not Tahoe the ladies man. Not the man who collects panties. But Tahoe Roth, the guy who stole her heart. The guy with bright blue eyes whose love is endless and breathtakingly beautiful. Fall in love with the real Tahoe Roth. And most importantly, fall in love with Katy’s gorgeous prose as she brings a love story to life.

So it’s no secret that I am a big fan of the Corps Security Series and I absolutely adore and love each of those characters that comprises the series. And so when Harper decided to do a spin-off with the kids from the Corps Security Series, I was beyond thrilled. Pardon my language, I was fucking ecstatic. I thought no one could replace Cohen Cage as my top fave in the Hope Town Series but Nate Reid stole my heart right off the opening pages. I would like to say it’s a tie but I would be lying to myself if I didn’t admit Nate has a slight edge and lead over Cohen.

“Keep following your heart, Ember. Follow it— me—and let me worry about guiding the way. Allow me to prove to you that I’m worthy of you giving me your love back.”

#WhenIm2

Love. Nate Reid has been surrounded by love the moment he was born. His parents are madly in love with each other. His sister, Dani found true love and happiness with Cohen Cage. And his extended family of Corp Security could be the walking advertisement for Hallmark. Nate Reid knows love but has he ever been in love. And the answer is yes, Nate knew the moment he fell in love with Emberlyn Locke and the moment he lost love.

photo 1d67d33f2fadb481f42cb0f5fa3525_zpsdfgdmmyg.gif

“When I’m finished, the abstract piece will be more blur and fade around the edges, the two bodies becoming clearer the closer you get to those two perfectly painted and in focus hands. This is me. This is Nate. It’s us. So much beauty and pain in one huge piece that I can’t help but think it is eventually my soul stripped bare and splattered against the canvas.”

Maddox and Emmy’s daughter, Emberlyn Locke, knew without a doubt that she loved Nate Reid. She didn’t care that he was six years older than she was. She loved him beyond reason and so when she finally got the courage to confess her love to Nate, she knew that day will forever haunt her. When a young 18 year old Ember confessed her love for Nate, she was hurt that Nate couldn’t admit the exact same feelings for her even though she knew a part of him saw her as a woman and not just a best friend.

#WhenImWithYou

Fast forward to several years later, Nate and Ember’s relationship has been strained since Ember has been avoiding family functions so she wouldn’t run into Nate. As Ember tries to move on with her life, she still couldn’t hide her true feelings for the boy that stole her heart. And for Nate, his memories of Ember still remains.

photo 1d67d33f2fadb481f42cb0f5fa3525_zpsdfgdmmyg.gif

“No more fucking words but my name. Know who is claiming you. Let the whole fucking world hear who is taking you and making you his.”

About to turn 21, Ember is on the rise to be a successful painter. And so when her sister and friends decide to throw her a birthday bash, she couldn’t hide her nervousness and excitement that she will be at Nate’s nightclub. When Nate saw Ember in his club,he had an epiphany of some sort to finally claim Ember and make her his. He was tired of denying his feelings for her and so on that night, fireworks were exploding when Nate claimed his girl. His woman. His love.

#WhenIm1

photo 1d67d33f2fadb481f42cb0f5fa3525_zpsdfgdmmyg.gif

“Yeah, Emberlyn Locke, I’m beyond fucking ready to be yours.”

When I’m With You hands down is one of my favorite Harper Sloan’s book. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this book hard. I seriously could re-read this book 10 times and wouldn’t get tired of it. Ms. Sloan did a fabulous job with the love story of Nate and Ember. She allowed readers to feel the wide array of emotions that each character were feeling. And for this particular story, Harper bewitched her readers when she showcased a young man earning back the trust and love that he lost. Without a doubt, Harper made her readers see this fierce, intense, burning connection that Nate and Ember have for one another. Their love was so pure. So simple. So passionate. So true. So beautiful. It was a canvas splashed with color, life, beauty, and love. Honestly, their love for one another is what we all attain to have. A love that completes. And so if you are looking for a story, that paints a beautiful literary masterpiece of second chances, love, forgiveness, honesty and new beginnings then I highly recommend you to read this book. And as an added bonus for all you Maddox Locke fans out there, Maddox once again reminded me how much I loved his protectiveness and big heart.

I admit it. There’s no shame here. I A-D-O-R-E Lex Martin and of course her books. So if you are familiar with her Dearest Series then you are all well aware that Lex has a knack for weaving raw emotions, sensuality, angst, romance, and sexy times into one amazing and heartfelt story. And in her newest release, Shameless, Lex Martin once again delivers a love story that packs an extra punch of angst and sweetness. That’s right, you know when a baby is involved and there is a hot sexy tattoo uncle who has a special soft spot for his niece, ovaries explosion!!!

“My heart is pounding in my chest. Fuck, I want this girl. ”

Brady is a young twenty-five year old guy, living day to day and doing his best to support his family. Finances are tight but he gets by. His life seems to be an endless cycle of work and family obligations that is until he gets a phone call that rocked his world. This one call upended the lives of Brady and his family when they learned that Brady’s younger brother and his wife were in a deadly car accident. Now, Brady must step up to the plate and handle his brother’s affairs in Texas while his father had to have emergency surgery after hearing the death of his son and his family.

#Shameless1

Brady knew his agenda was to wrap up his brother’s affairs and bring home his niece back from Texas. But what Brady never intended was to stay long, that is until he had a reason to.

“The moment our mouths crash into each other, the only thing I can think is, Thank fucking God.”

Katherine Duran is a family friend of Melissa and her husband, Cal and has been living in their house, managing the farm and taking care of baby Isabella. Katherine knew Cal spoke very highly of his brother and so when she first meets Brady, she never expected to be so deeply attracted to him.

#Sh

Right off the bat, Kat and Brady easily forms a friendship. As Kat informs Brady of what needs to be done with the farm, Brady begins to feel overwhelmed on what needs to be done and why his brother choose this life in Texas but luckily for him he has Kat by his side helping him. As Kat and Brady gets to know each other, sparks of attraction soon begins to ignite. The lines of friendship begins to blur when they finally act on their sexual attraction to one another. One kiss lead to another and the next thing you know, Brady and Kat find themselves tangled in the sheets. But what happens when Kat knows her time with Brady might come to an end when he moves back to Boston with Izzy?

“I’m a pale canvas next to his tattoos. Something about our juxtaposition makes me feel bland. Like I’m whatever nameless piece of art that’s mounted next to the Mona Lisa. I’m a little girl from Texas, and he’s this beautiful tattoo artist from Boston. He’s edgy and biting and brisk, and I’m all Southern hospitality and polite welcomes. Except nothing about my legs dangling open on either side of his face is polite.”

In this heartfelt love story, Lex Martin allows her readers to feel the love and the palpable connection brewing between Brady and Kat. It was one of those meetings where you know instantly that this person is different. The game changer. And for Kat and Brady, they were each other’s game changer. Their love was pure. Simple. Honest. Raw. And most importantly, real. And in true Lex Martin fashion, she allowed her readers to experience the love and tangible bond.

“This kiss , though, this kiss blooms the seed in my chest, the one that I’ve been trying to stamp out— the seed of hope. Of hope for more than just one night. For more than a sexy fling. For more than something casual and meaningless. Even though that’s what I promised him.Kat’s the light at the end of this dark tunnel, one I’ve been traveling since before my brother died. I hadn’t realized it, but I wasn’t happy. I wasn’t complete. In fact, at the time I couldn’t even tell you what I was missing.”

Shameless was written in such a heartbreakingly beautiful manner. With her gorgeous and heartfelt prose, Lex Martin wrote a meaningful love story. A story that was real. A story that laid bare of two individuals finding a home within each other. A story of sacrifice. A story of unconditional love. A story of hope. A story of LOVE. And when you deliver a story that has this much profoundness and beauty, you know you have read one incredible and meaningful love story. All there is left to say, go read Shameless and be prepared to be doused with every facet of emotions and love. And as an added bonus, how could you not want to read a book where there is an adorable baby, kittens, two pygmy goats, a horse, chickens and of course a raccoon integrated into the story line. And oh yeah, a hot sexy tattoo hero who has a panty-melting smile and a heart of gold.

Confession Time. THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK THAT I HAVE READ FROM JESSICA LEMMON. I didn’t even know of the Second Chance Series. But thank goodness for Netgalley, because it allowed me to discover this new author and this series.

Return of the Bad Boy was sexy, sweet, and oh so sinfully addicting!!! Jessica Lemmon has whipped up a romance that will sets hearts fluttering as a rockstar bad boy makes it known to the woman who walked away from him several years ago, that he wants her back and only her.

#ReturnofTheBadBoy

A bad boy rockstar who is an also an author of children’s book? My first immediate thought is that’s HOT!!! How could it not be when you have a bad boy rockstar who has sweet and nurturing side. Asher Knight is your quintessential rockstar that you can’t be making judgement and assumptions about. Yes, he ain’t no saint. But Asher Knight is a man who knows what he wants. And what Asher Knight wants is the feisty woman who he calls 'Sarge' aka Gloria Shields.

Gloria and Asher’s relationship can be summed up in one word. Complicated. They have a business relationship. She has feelings for him. But she knows that she should stay away. Don’t mix business and pleasure. And also he has a kid. But what Gloria didn’t expect was Asher Knight doesn’t take no easily. He makes it known to Gloria that this thing between them cannot be extinguished. It’s LOVE. And so can this bad boy knock down all the walls surrounding Gloria’s heart and show her that his heart and hers are intertwined as one and that they are fated?

What else can I say but I adore and love this book. Yes, it was my first Jessica Lemmon book but I can assure you it won’t be my last. The writing was clean and beautiful. Ms. Lemmon allowed her readers to FEEL. Feel the love and music surrounding Asher and Gloria’s heart. So if you are ready to fall in love with a bad boy who knows the lyrics to your heart, then I highly recommend you to read this book. And if that doesn’t urge you to read this book, then can I add there is an adorable pup and toddler who will steal your heart as well.

Rewind. Play. Pause. Rewind. Play… and DO NOT HIT the Fast Forward button because K. Webster has created one fantastic playlist of tracks. No I’m not talking about songs, I am talking about a sample mix of creative stories that will have you begging for more of K.Webster’s madness.

#BSides

So before you begin this read, please note that each track is incomplete. Yes, you have been warned. Be prepared for explicit, crazy, dark, twisted and emotional stories that ends abruptly. So hence the label of collection of unfinished madness. Each track is so unique and has me madly intrigued. I think K.Webster is well aware that I am obsessed. And as an added bonus, there is one special bonus track with our favorite villian. Well, I like to say my favorite villain since I’m dark and twisted like that.

Anyways, K. Webster please continue to write these crazy, amazing stories. You already know, I will be pressing PLAY.

Filthy Foreign Exchange

Filthy Foreign Exchange by S.E. Hall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

★★★★★ 4-Kingston Stars ★★★★★
Filthy Foreign Exchange started out with explosive chemistry. Kingston and Echo's magnetic pull was off the chart, with the angst and sensuality and quick-witted smartass back and forth bickering made it a page turner for me. Although this was not what I expected, it was a little tame for me but the storyline is so worth the read.

Just when you think Kingston and Echo are about to get hot and steamy, it turns into more of a tease. The sexual tension was insane and almost killed me the entire read. Despite that fact, it won't deter me from reading book two. The anticipation will kill me but I am so looking forward to finding out where their relationship goes.

Angela Graham and S.E. Hall is on top of my favorite author's list. So excited for this series.

“You’re not just my dead best friend’s little sister. After all these years, you should know that. You’re more.” He paused, rubbing the back of his neck. “We’re more.”

Forbidden Love has always been one of my favorite romance trope and so when I read the blurb of Lust is the Thorn by Jen McLaughlin, I knew I had to read this book ASAP. While I love reading this trope, I have always been hesitant in reading stories that deals with priesthood but I decided to take a chance with this book since I am a big Jen McLaughlin fan. And guess what, I am so happy that I took a chance with Lust is the Thorn because Ms. McLaughlin was able to weave a tragic, forbidden love into something so breathtakingly beautiful with great profoundness and understanding.

“He was just Thorn. The guy I wanted, the man I loved since I was a kid. I wouldn’t cower at the idea of being with him. I would do anything, give up anything, to be with him. Even if it was only for a night. If he wanted me, well, then, he could have me. And I wouldn’t tell a soul about it. If he wanted . . . I could be his dirty little secret.”

Lust Is The Thorn is a story of a seminary student and a stripper, who happens to be your best friend’s little sister. And while this book screams forbidden, Ms. McLaughlin created a story that captured the true raw essence of love, vulnerability, sadness, hope and absolution. While the theme of the book may not be for some, Ms. McLaughlin showcases a love that was true, uncut, and real. In life, things may not goes as planned but these detours and bumps along life makes and shapes us as to who we are today. And for a young seminary student, his life took a different course and Ms. McLaughlin beautifully portrays a young man struggling and torn with his choice.

“It was as if the two of us were connected in some way, and he was mine, and nothing— not even a white collar— would ever change that. But he wasn’t actually mine. He was God’s. And that made this whole thing even worse.”

I honestly don’t want to say much because the story of Thorn and Rose is a love story that is complex and yet simple. It is a love story that needs to be read in order to understand what led these two to the different paths they have chosen in life. But what I can tell you is that Jen did an amazing job writing a story filled with so much heart, understanding, clarity, truth, hope, and a sense of absolution. So if you are looking for a story where every raw facets of emotions are laid bare, then I urge you to give this book a try. Feel the love of Thorn and Rose. Understand them and embrace their wants, dreams, and hopes.
