*Review copy given by author, in exchange for an honest review.*

Falling for Fitz is a really cute story about first love and second chances.

This book starts up with 9 yrs in the past of the lives of Fitz and Daisy. The fun filled, love in the summer that they had. Fitz is a very conserved follow all rules kind of guy, but when it comes to Daisy he breaks the rules to make her happy and feeling free at the same time. Daisy was only seventeen then and Fitz was 20. After they spent their last wonderful night together, things got complicated that changed both their lives.

Forward to their present lives, neither one had forgotten about the other. The first time they see each other again at a family party, both their feelings started flooding back. It was awkward at first, but then they went right back to the banter that they used to have. It made both of them miss and want each other, like they used to when they were young.

At times Daisy got on my nerves, because she was just too stuck on the past. She keeps telling Fitz to start fresh, but she’s the one that wasn’t able to let it go. I was so happy when they finally figure each other out and what they really wanted. I love that Fitz is reserved and a very into pleasing his woman, whatever it is she may want, but by far my heart belongs to Barrett. I can’t wait to meet the next brother…Alex.. Hmmm.

HER DOM
By: A.D. Justice
✩★✩★✩ for DOM

The first time Dom lays eyes on Sophia, it was insta-love. He could not stop staring and be mesmerized by her beauty. Undeniable chemistry seeped through my Kindle while reading their story.

Dominic a very dominating hottie. All he wants to do is take care of Sophia.



Sophia is a twenty four year old who becomes Dominic's PA. Who is very independent and want nothing from anyone. As for Dominic, he's twenty nine years old and who built the company now Sophia works for. You can totally feel their chemistry, I mean who has that kind of chemistry? The first time you spend time with someone and it felt like they've known each for a long time. It's rare and it just felt real, personal experience.(winks)



All Dom wants is to spend some time alone with Sophia. One of the things I love about him is that he is all about monogamous. Don't like sharing. So, I fell in love with him even more. The way he took care of Sophie is all a naughty girl could ever wish for.(winks) The passion was so strong and their love for each other, it didn't matter how long they've known each other, nothing got in the way of their relationship. The steamy hot sex and all the play they did was just oh so hot. It'll get to you, and you will need extra panty reading this holy hotness story about Dom and Sophie. I would love to know what Sophie was thinking, I want her side of the story. But other than that, I would totally recommend this book. I love your work A.D.

Catching Kate by D. Kelly

*Review copy given by author, in exchange for an honest review.*

I’m glad that Author D. Kelley wrote this novella about Mike. I knew that Mike wasn’t as bad, as everyone though after reading the first book, because of this book now everyone gets to see Mike like I did.

Mike was just young, confused and hurt, when he lashed out on Kate. Yes that is no excuse, but it is the truth. He was in so much pain after losing his dad, that he was not thinking straight about anything. After losing his dad and his mom bad mouthing Kate, he couldn’t handle it. Instead of hanging on to Kate and apologize for the way he acted..he left instead. At that time, in his state of mind, that was the best for everyone. He found out later that it wasn’t, he stayed broken no matter what he did. You see from this book what Mike went through and what was going through his mind when his dad died and why he left Kate. Why he stayed hidden for so long and how much his new friendship and family means to him. You will realized that Mike is only human, that he went through waves of emotions and growing up while away from Kate. He just never figured that when he was ready to come back, that Kate would fall in love with someone else. To make matters worse, she fell in love with his best friend Daniel. The turmoil that Mike went through is really sad and heartbreaking knowing what he will do everything he can to make it all better. Reading Catching Kate, just confirmed what I already knew about Mike after reading Breaking Kate. He is a sweet, caring guy, just too broken after his dad died to be in love or to stay the Mike that he was for Kate. He had to grown up and learn life, to realized what he really wanted in life. Now he has to figure out what’s more important. To win Kate back, even if he could loose his best friend Daniel? Or give Kate and Daniel his blessings?..Until the next book..

☆☆☆☆☆ 5 I LOVE BENTLEY STARS ☆☆☆☆☆



One word to describe The Intern: Volume 3 is PERFECTION!!! I couldn’t wait to start this book and so I didn’t care that I started reading this book at 1am. I had to get my Bentley fix and devoured this book in one sitting. Once I was done reading this book, I was left with a BIG FAT SMILE on my face. They say the eyes are useless when the mind is blind and so Ms. Cumberland will open our eyes in this final installment. Nothing is black and white. Love is not perfect. The truth hurts. And behind Bentley and Ceci’s eyes is a beautiful love story to be told.



Brooke Cumberland did an AHH-MAZZZING job with the Intern Volume Series. She did a fabulous job incorporating the right amount of love, sadness, hurt, anger, sexiness and angst. Every raw emotion was felt and literally my heart went out to Ceci and Bentley as they tried to fix their relationship. Honestly, I think Brooke must have a secret recipe when it came to writing The Intern Installments since she knew which ingredients to use to hook and beg her readers for more Bentley and Ceci. This volume series will leave readers like myself begging more for a slice BENTLEY. Forget a slice… I want Bentley all to myself. Brooke~Can I have Bentley?? **pretty please** <3 All I can say is that the Intern installments had the perfect blend of ingredients. If I were to guess Brooke’s secret recipe to The Intern, I would have to say it consisted 2lbs of love, pinch of humor, 3lbs of angst, 2 spoonfuls of broken past, 1 zest of passion, 1lb of sweetness, ¾ cups of second chances and 2lb of sexiness. Mix all those ingredients up and you got yourself an unforgettable love story!!! I adore and love this series hard. Ms. Brooke ended Bentley and Ceci’s story perfectly. So if you are looking for a fun sexy read then I highly recommend you read The Intern!! <3

The Intern Vol 3 is the third and final volume of The Intern Serial What a crazy journey this was and I loved it. I cried, laughed, dropped my panties and fell harder for Bentley. A very unforgettable second chance at love, pain, fate, forgiveness and hope.

The story continues...
Ceci's scheme is out, Bentley knew what she was all about. To pretend that she was older than 18, disgust him. He hated the fact that she straight up lied to his face. He asked her multiple times, given her too many chances to come clean, but she was on a mission, so, her plan must go. She wasn't looking for a relationship. He started wanting more from her. The undeniable attraction they had for each other was so powerful. Now that Bentley found out the truth about Ceci's purpose of working for him, he doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

Ceci is falling in love with Bentley, but now that the truth is out, the pain she feels is unimaginable. She falls apart when he fired her. What's worst is that she feels horrible because she knows how Bentley really truly feels deep down. She knows that she very much deserves the pain she is feeling now. It was only a matter of time until the truth came out.

Bentley's feelings go beyond what he thought he would be willing to give to Ceci. Knowing the fact that she betrayed him and hurt him, he still cannot stop thinking about her. After the heartache they both felt, I cried when they had to let each other go. Ceci just couldn't stand the fact that she betrayed him and broke his heart. But everyone deserves a second chance, so when they cross path...that's when it gets even more complicated and exciting.

Bentley...OMG can he get any more swoony-panty-dropping-hottie? Who wouldn't want to fall in love with him?

With Ceci dealing with the truth about her father's death was very sad. She just can't accept the fact that her father did what was needed to save his family. Bentley was there with her, through the added heartache she already felt for years, more pain couldn't hurt. When you love someone, truly love someone, you are willing to die for them. It's what she had to accept and move forward with her life. She needed closure, even if it hurts too much, she prepared herself for it.

No matter how many years you have not seen the one and only person you truly loved, it will never change and the feelings you have will never just vanished unless you're in denial. It's something you can maybe ignore, but I know it will haunt you. You try to deny that feeling, but it'll just kill you, will make you go crazy if you deny the feeling that is burning deep inside your soul. The more you fight it, the more you'll want to be with that person. That's how I see Bentley and Ceci's relationship. I totally loved the love they had for each other. Who would want to have a "The one that got away"? I know I don't. Don't let the second chance at love pass you by. Once you're given a second chance, I suggest you grab it and hold on to it with every breath you take. I wouldn't want to live with the what if's. Brooke, you totally had my attention from the beginning of the serial to the end. Only thing is that I wanted more, I just couldn't get enough of Bentley and Ceci. This has been a wild ride and I am looking forward to reading more hot series you write. You are officially added on to my favorite authors list.

Wow! What a way to end the series, I got more than I expected. This is a 3 part series and everytime I finished a volume, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next. I am so glad I read this series, Thanks Michelle. I love this series.

This last volume, shows Bentley and Ceci go through emotions on how to feel about each other. They went through the pain of being apart and learned a lot from it. They learned that love is never perfect. That love is as perfect as two people belonging together and nothing else matters. Love is not all about marshmallow and cupcakes, sometimes it’s just pain.

Ceci and Bentley tried to forget each other, thinking it’s for the best. They both live their separate lives thinking that everything will get better as time passes. At that same time, they knew a piece of their heart was always missing. They went through a lot of time apart, growing and learning. Knowing that no matter what they did, their heart always belonged to each other and fate always brought them together.

In this last volume you will feel the sadness, the pain and love that Bentley and Ceci goes through, trying to repair the broken relationship. Of course let’s not forget, Ceci and Bentley’s hot hot sex. When those two are together, you can’t feel anything but electricity. When I was done reading the book, I was left with a great feeling and a smile on my face. Brooke did such an awesome job with this whole series. This is not my typical read, but it has become one of my favorites. <3

“What we have is bigger than all of it. Forever, remember?”

I honestly don’t know where to start with this review. And I mean that in the most wonderful, awestruck way. So, let me start by stating the obvious, More Than Forever is the 4th book in the More Series by Jay McLean and tells the story of Lucy and Cameron. Now, let me continue.

I haven’t read all the books in the series and once I started with it, I was not able to stop. It took me about 3-4 straight days (with little to almost no sleep) to finish them all and catch up to the the series. I have no regrets. I absolutely LOVED it. And having read all books in less than a week, I found my favorite: More Than Forever.

While all 4 books made me cry buckets and all have beautiful stories of their own, Lucy and Cam’s was the one that made me fall in love, hurt, and then fall back in love with them in a heartbeat. Jay McLean has a magic touch in writing each story. She’s a magic, wonderful storyteller. She will you hook you right in, suck you in with her words and never let you catch up for air until the very end… and you won’t even notice it.

“I used to hold it all in, like you do. I kept it inside for so long that I felt like I was going to burst. It was constant -- this ache in my heart because I missed her so much.” Lucy and Cam’s story started from their teens -- a tragedy that opened doors for their friendship. A friendship that blossomed into a raw, beautiful, emotional love story. We’ve had glimpses of them from the first 3 books and we saw two young adults who are crazy, fun, but there was a sense of something more under the hilariously cute couple.

I loved everything about this book. I love all of the characters: Lucy’s dad and silly brothers, Cameron’s mom and her boyfriend, the entire More gang, and I love the story, I loved how Jay wrote it, how hypnotizing it was to read every word in the Luca story no matter how heartbreakingly painful or how diabetically sweet it was. I love Cameron and how fierce he is when it comes to Lucy. Reading about a 15-year old boy who only wants to care for someone special and her family in his own young ways, that is something precious. Seeing two teenagers grow as an individual and as a couple with all the bumps in life and coming out strong, with a few battle scars but strong and more resilient, was an emotional journey that’s admirable. For me, this is one of the reasons why Jay McLean’s writing is so heartfelt. She lays the foundation on solid ground, she makes sure that each characters are embedded so thoroughly in your heart, so that when even just a slightest bit of pain shows in the story… you feel it 110%. It will crush you, tear your heart out, make you feel the emotions.

But while I go on and on about how emotional Lucy and Cam’s story is, it’s not without a swoon-worthy and funny scenes. We’ve seen how nuts Lucy gets when she’s drunk, right? She says the craziest things and brings life and laughter to the group. I love reading the carefree side of the couple as much as I do their serious personalities. A perfect blend of a new adult romance! I look forward to Dylan and Heidi’s story, looks like another box of Kleenex, a huge bar of chocolates and warm blankets are needed for this story.

Breaking Up with Barrett by Katy Regnery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Reviewed by: Neilliza
*Review copy given by author, in exchange for an honest review.*

Just like all of Katy’s other books, I love this. I am in love with with Barrett and Emily. They are super cute and sweet. I was hooked from the beginning of the story and read this in one sitting.

In the beginning of the story Barrett was all about business and very professional, until that one day when Emily broke him down. That one night when they were at a business dinner pretending to be engaged and Emily shared her fantasy story with Barrett’s business associates. That story that made each one of them think, “what if?” Can this really happen? Both have been pinning for each other in secrets for years, afraid that the other doesn’t feel the same. Until that story changed everything. After that night neither one can think of anything, but each other. Which made each one of them, think of ways to spend time with each other again.

I enjoyed every interaction that Emily and Barrett had, they were always super sweet. The love that they had for each other felt so real, I had butterflies in my stomach while reading. I especially enjoyed when each one of them, shared their feelings to one another. I loved Barrett stories and I really enjoyed it, when he shared with Emily how hard it has been for him to stay away from her all this years. I was in awe, with all the feelings that Barrett had been keeping for Emily.

The first time that Emily and Barrett made love was special and if you read the book, you will find out how special it really was.

Barrett is known as “The Shark” when it comes to business, because he will do anything to get what he wants and taking no for an answer. Will that stop him from pursuing what he could have with Emily? Or will he stay with Emily and in business at the same time, knowing that he doesn’t have to be “The Shark” to keep in business Status? Read and find out, you won’t regret it. Trust me. ;)

I have a feeling that I am going to enjoy every one of the English brother’s stories. I can’t wait for more.

Miller Buchanan is a business man, who did not have such a good life growing up, he wants to change that. He has his mind set to be successful. No one gets in the way of his goals.

Monroe Hartley is a very caring person. People she cares about must come first before herself when in need. She has quite a few jobs to help out her parents who are struggling financially. Always working and has no time to take care of herself, no time to mingle and have fun. Her dream / passion is dancing but not until she saves some money to pursue it. She'll work anywhere for her dream to come true. If she fails to do so, she would be devastated BUT it won't happen since failure is not acceptable for her.



Miller is being added to my book boyfriend as I type.(winks) I loved how all he wanted to do was take care of Monroe. He likes to go caveman on her. It's nice to read something about people falling in love and takes everything slow to see where things go. But I'm not complaining about jumping someone's bones on their first date either. But for Miller and Monroe, they had too much respect for each other that they made sure they were going somewhere with the relationship before they went in too deep and regret moving too fast in the beginning. Call me old fashion but really, I loved it all the same.

I will never get tired of reading what Cori writes.
Over all this book was good, didn't have A LOT OF SEX but it was a good book to read. A very romantic, sexy and an emotional roller-coaster that took my breath away.

Under Contract was absolutely sweet, funny, sexy and and romantic. It was my feel good romantic comedy HEA book. As a romantic at heart, Under Contract was a perfect blend of humor, sass, sexiness, and romance. Jacquelyn Ayres did an amazing job in Under Contract. She will have you swooning and meowing for Mitchell Colton. Who knew signing a dotted line could land you a hot bachelor and of course hot sex? But one thing is for certain, love was non-negotiable in Under Contract.



Rule number one when signing a contract… read the fine print! Well what happens when you sign a contract and not realizing that not only you are signing away your life, time and body but also signing away your heart. For Charlotte McKendrick, she thought all she had to offer her body and time to Mitch Colton but what she didn’t see coming was to sign her heart away and fall in love.

Charlotte is a single mother of three. Her asshole of a husband abandon them to go find himself...well Charlotte had to put on her big girl panties and get a job. What we didn’t expect is her job was meeting a criteria for a certain CEO. Her new job requires to be his pretend girlfriend. Doesn’t sound that bad? Right? Well however you look at, Charlotte needed this income to put a roof over her family’s head and food onto the table. Besides the extra perks of the job was hot orgasmic sex with her “boyfriend” Mitch. As they begin to spend more time together, Charlotte and Mitch begins to see the walls surrounding their heart begins to unravel. Will Mitch renegotiate his contract with Charlotte since falling in love is not what he had bargained for?



The chemistry between Charlotte and Mitch was sexy and at the same time fun. I adored the playful banter between these two. They complimented and suited each other since they both were equals when it came to their personalities. Charlotte is not your shy heroine but a confident woman who knows when to speak her mind. The only time she lets her guard down is when she lets Mitch take reign in the bedroom. The dynamic of their relationship was fun and sassy. I loved that Mitch adored Charlotte’s children and treated them as his own. I love stories when two unexpecting people finds LOVE in the least place they expect to. Ms. Ayres not only gives us a love story but she was able to incorporate lots of humor, banter, and of course hot steamy chemistry.

So if you are looking for a fun and sweet story with HEA that will leave you with a BIG FAT SMILE on your face, then I highly suggest Under Contract.

One broken and the other with no love to give. What happens when their world collides? Well, this is their story and how they found love unexpectedly.

Right in the beginning I didn't know what to expect. I mean the book did start the story with a funeral and a break up. I just thought, wow, I hope this story has a happy ending. I'm sure glad I kept on reading, especially when Sawyer and Maddie met for the first time at a bar. Both were drowning their sorrows into oblivion. The minute Maddie walked into the bar, she caught Sawyer's eyes. He slowly moves himself close to her, by striking up a conversation about sports. He noticed that Maddie is not just any girl, she could be one of the guys and talk sports all day and he loved that. He felt the heat and electricity between them right away. After looking around the bar, he noticed that every single guys eyes are on Maddie. Thats when realized that he is not the only guy interested in her, that everyone of them he bets wants to take her to bed. He thought to himself, no way. He wasn't gonna let that happened, he was taking claim. He wasn't the only one thinking that one, Maddie went straight to the point and asked. That one night together changed their future and they didn't even know it. They both went back to live their normal lives, but neither one could forget about that night.

Even after a year, both their minds were consumed of that one night. Then Sawyer decided to move to Indiana and took a teaching job. Then their world collided again and Sawyer ended up being Maddie little girl's teacher. That's where their Sexcapades started, first time in the school janitor closet. Sawyer thought that if he just gets her out of his system, he will be just fine. Boy was he wrong, after that encounter all he wanted to do was be around Maddie. He would never admit to himself that he cares about her a lot, but what he knew was he couldn't live life without being with her. Time passed by and they got to know each other better. He knew Maddie was broken and had a lot of baggage, so to him that was all fine. He didn't expect them to have a future together, then he fell in love with Maddie's little girl Peyton. Not only did he enjoy being around Maddie, but he love spending all his time with Peyton also. The more time he spent with them the more he felt like a family, but instead of making a commitment he ran. He ran scared of his feelings and left Maddie to pieces.



Will Sawyer keep running from his love for Maddie?
Or will he figure it out and profess his love to her?
Read the book and find out.

I enjoyed this book and the dance between Sawyer and Maddie. Yes their story progresses slowly, but that's how I like it. The way the book went, shows a reader how they fell in love, when it happened and why. That right there gave me enough to read and love the book.

Not Over by Leigh Ann Lunsford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a great conclusion to one of my favorite series.

I love that I finally got to read about Dustin, this book shows how much Dustin had grown into a man that his whole family is proud of. Through his ups and downs. His struggles with his inner demons and of course his struggle just to be loved by Teryn.

I love how protective he is with not only his family, but his new love Teryn. Those two are such a cute couple, when they are not driving each other crazy. What happened to Teryn, is such an awful thing to go through. What makes everything she went through worse? Is she was just a child. What kind of a father does something like that to their own child? An evil one that's for sure and a person like him deserves to rot in hell. It broke my heart when Teryn finally opened up about her past, which finally made me understand why she is the way she is. The first night that Dustin and Teryn spent together was beautiful, until Teryn exploded and broke, because of her past.

The way Teryn had to leave to get help to be a better person for Dustin, was the best thing she did for both of them. While she was gone and Dustin struggled without her, I knew they were going to find their way back into each other's arms.

I just love the whole Parker Family with their extended family, they are such a tight knit family. They live hard and love hard. I love that about them.

I enjoyed each one of their POV and finding out what life was with all of them after they got their Happily Ever After. I am sadden that this series is over, but excited to find out what Leigh Ann Lunsford has under her sleeves. Until then.
