Sweet, charming, and heartwarming!!! Erin Nicholas once again has caught my attention with her newest release, Forever Mine which happens to be a beautiful feel good love story between a single dad and his daughter’s martial arts teacher.

#ForeverMine

With palpable chemistry and charming characters, Nicholas allowed her readers to feel the love and connection that was brewing between Alex and Maya. When Alex needed all the help he can get with his daughter’s fascination with superheroes, Maya came to the rescue. What started off as friendship soon led to a budding attraction between the two. And in such, Nicholas created a story that was sweet, innocent, and fresh.

I absolutely adore this smart geeky romance because there was just something so refreshing about it. There was no major angst or drama but instead a story about two real strangers developing a friendship that turned into romance. So if you are looking for a romance that was light and beautifully well written then I highly suggest you read this book. Erin Nicholas comes to the rescue as she delivers a charming story that will fill your heart with lots of love and superheroes.

A Special Obsession by A.M. Hargrove is a very sweet, charming, and instant love story of two strangers who had an interesting special meeting. So what makes this book extra special? Well, the heroine for one is named Special O’Malley. Special is not your typical girl next door. She is sassy, independent, and feisty. She doesn’t take BS and so when she meets Weston Wyndham, she doesn’t fall for his charm at all.

Her first impression of Weston wasn’t the best since he came off as an arrogant cocky rich boy. So it takes Weston several tries to finally break through Special’s hard exterior. What started off as a bit of flirtatious friendship soon leads the girl from the wrong side of the tracks falling for the rich boy with a silver spoon. So what happens when Weston shows Special the kind of love that she needs… the special kind?

A Special Obsession is definitely your feel good family romance. It’s sweet, touching, and sexy in it’s own way. Hargrove beautiful blends the aspects that family doesn’t always mean blood and once you find that special kind of love to never let it go. And for Special O’Malley her story of finding that special love began when a drunk arrogant man stumbled and passed out in her bar. So are you ready to fall for Special?

How is it possible that one of Andrew’s smiles can make me feel a little more at ease? Is it those kind, sweet eyes of his? Or the way he seems to understand what I need at the moment ”

Seriously, I love all her books and for her to write about a HOT NERD, y’all know that I will be devouring this book instantly. Anyways, Andrew “The Hot Nerd” is working his first real job where he will be scooping up ice cream.

☆☆☆☆ 3.5 STARS ☆☆☆☆

Extra Credit is a fast, dirty read. Chelle and Will had a connection the first time they met, so it didn’t take them long to get together. Their first kiss was a real surprised as it wasn’t something I didn’t expect to happen so quickly. I did enjoy the two characters, for being both fun and sexy. I do wish that there was more story given and a little less sex. But that’s just me, book drives me with a gripping story and less sex. It was quirky, sweet and I really enjoyed the little girl for what she added into the story. She was sweet, extra hyper and I know exactly how it is to have a kid like her. This book is a little dirty and if you are into that, you will definitely love this story.

Jessica Lemmon wraps up and concludes the The Billionaire Bad Boy Series with Elijah Crane’s story in The Bastard Billionaire. Eli is a former Marine who has been honorably discharged after an accident that left him with a missing limb. As a civilian, Eli’s family wants him to take an active part in the family business and so his family assigns him a personal assistant to help out. But Eli is a mean stubborn beast who easily scared off all his personal assistant well except Isabella Sawyer.

Isabella sees through Eli’s rough cranky personality. She constantly challenges Eli and puts him in his place. She is one personal assistant that Eli can’t seem to get rid of. Good thing too because Eli finds her attractive. There is something about Isabella that challenges him and he enjoys the fact that she can stand up to him. So what happens when Eli and Isabella finds themselves crossing the lines of business and pleasure? Will Eli be able to let Isabella in? And will Isabella show Eli that he is not broken?

The Bastard Billionaire is a sexy, emotional and heart-filled romance that was beautifully well written and executed. Jessica Lemmon brought forth two strong independent characters who are wildly attracted to one another and who were able to break down each other’s exterior walls. The beast definitely found his beauty in Isabella. So if you are looking for a story that was thoughtful and had lots of interwoven themes of family, love, and new beginnings then this book is definitely for you.

Tell me a secret...well, here it is: I absolutely adore and love reading J. Daniel’s books. I know, I know it’s not much a secret since I practically look forward to every new release she has in store but let me tell you that she completely has me smitten for her newest release of What I Need.

If there is ever a man to be totally head over heels in love with then I cannot tell a lie because Officer CJ Tully has my heart fluttering with butterflies. As an avid romance reader, typically we tend to love the strong alpha male but I found CJ’s character to be refreshing. He was a mixture of alpha but mostly sweet. I love that CJ was one of the nice and sweet guys. So major kuddos for J.Daniels for showing some love to the nice guys.

photo fe77d2cb0f666d5eec2f5a864bd6ec_zpssl7zw5r7.gif

I’m not thinking about anything besides his soft mouth and his rough hands and the scratch of his beard as it burns my skin and hopefully leaves evidence of tonight. Whatever happens, I want to remember this.”

CJ hits it off with Reed’s baby sister, Riley during Reed and Beth’s wedding extravaganza. Reed’s weekend wedding turned into a hookup fest for CJ and Riley. Well after their hot weekend together, a hiccup and misunderstanding occurred that caused these two to keep their weekend fling a secret and that they should remain friends. Well let’s just say being in the friend zone is kinda hard especially when these two are wildly attracted to each other and have this special bond. So what happens when being friends become something more? Will Riley be able to tell her brother the truth of her relationship with CJ?

If I didn’t say it before, J. Daniels is an amazing author. She has this way of bringing life to her characters and in such these fictional characters feels like they are your new tribe of friends. Yes, the Alabama Summer gang are one of my favorite group of characters as they each bring their flavor and sass to the series. CJ and Riley’s relationship is just a reminder that the sweet and nice guys are the ones that everyone should be rooting for. You gotta love a man who makes you feel special, wanted and needed. So if you are looking for a love story that beautifully blends heart, friendship, passion, family and romance then look no further than this book.

Melanie Harlow you have truly outdone yourself once again. This right here is why I LOVE reading your books. If You Were Mine has officially earned a place on my 2017 list of favorite top reads. I honestly don’t know where to begin my review because I can’t stop smiling because Theo and Claire’s story was just another reminder that modern day fairy tales do exist. There doesn’t have to be Prince Charming or a shiny white castle but two ordinary people who have the way of making you feel special and happy. And boy oh boy did Theo give me the butterflies and so much more.

I can go on and on about who Theo is and why Claire is a gem but I won’t. The beauty of their story is getting lost with these two as they explore and discover something about themselves.Their wants and desire. And most importantly, their own version of a fairy tale happily ever after ending. After reading If You Were Mine, Melanie Harlow should be on everyone’s book radar because not only are her stories believable but her writing and characters evokes something that captures the beauty of love and heart. So if you are looking for a romance that spoke volumes of passion, trust, compassion, understanding, and unconditional love then I highly recommend you to get lost in this book.

Cheater by Rachel Van Dyken is a somewhat sweet light and angsty love story. Typically, I tend to stay away from subject matters that deals with cheating since it’s something that my heart and emotions can’t handle but knowing that this is an RVD book, I knew I had to read it no matter what because I know RVD won’t let me down when it comes to her romance books.

Was this a conventional love story? Absolutely not and that’s why I think this book stood out in a way. It had that RVD signature but at the same time RVD pushed a little when it came to our emotions. Yes, there were moments I wanted to hate Lucas but then I was quickly reminded of his charm. You gotta love the fact that RVD can beautifully heart, laughter, tears, and angst into one story. So are you ready to meet Lucas Thorn and discover that he may not be a cheater after all and the only thing that you are cheating is missing out is meeting Lucas and Avery.
