BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Easing into the turns…

As one of only two girls on the tween racing circuit, Shawn Hamby has always run with a fast crowd. But now at thirty-two, she doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. And she definitely doesn’t need a man bossing her around off of the track…

Putting the pedal to the metal…

But after a silly girls’ night at a fetish club, Shawn can’t get Rhett Ford out of her mind. He’s younger than her, and he’s her best friend’s brother-in-law, which should be red flags. Rhett is looking for someone to lead in bed, but he can’t imagine that Shawn would ever submit to him. Boldly surrendering is more her style. And with Rhett behind the wheel, it’s going to be one wild ride…

REVIEW:

Shawn assumed her grandfather would leave the dirt track to her in his will, considering she had been a part of the track her whole life. She had no idea there would be a stipulation. Shawn would have to marry to inherit her dream. The only man she had any interest in was Rhett. He was years younger than her and her only encounter with him had been a brief chance meeting in a bondage club. When Rhett runs into Shawn, she gives him an offer he can’t refuse. Marriage in exchange for money as long as they stay married for a year. Rhett would agree to the offer only if he reaped the rewards of being married to Shawn. He wanted total control in the bedroom, and she could have it every where else. The sex was blazing as they learned their attraction to each other might be more than either of them bargained on. I have loved all of the books in the Fast Track Series and this one did not disappoint.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Sometimes you see love clearly. And sometimes it has to smack you in the face.

When a stranger walks up and punches him, Ryan Kaye assumes there’s a good reason. But he’s stunned to learn it’s over a one-night stand that never happened —with his friend’s sister, straight-laced Amanda Dixon. When Ryan confronts her about the lie, Amanda apologizes, but Ryan realizes he doesn’t want her to be sorry…he wants the night they supposedly spent together.

Amanda’s not looking to add anyone to her long list of commitments, so she was only trying to let a nice guy down easy by telling him a fling with Ryan broke her heart. So what if the fling only happened in her dreams? But when Ryan Kaye tempts her with the chance to go crazy and fulfill a few fantasies, she can’t resist. Thank goodness one night isn’t enough time to fall in love…

Warning: Contains a hot paramedic who knows how to get a girl to let her hair down, a girl who thinks she prefers her hair up, some naughty laser tag, some naughty role-playing and a lot of falling in love.

REVIEW:

Amanda believes it is her responsibility to take care of her 4 adult siblings. She has always been the dependable sister, except for one time. That one time left her believing she has to be all business, all the time. Amanda has fantasies about Ryan, who happens to be one of her brothers best friends. Amanda also knows that Ryan is a safe fantasy, believing he would never be interested in her. Amanda’s sister’s birthday wish is that Amanda spends one weekend risking it all and Amanda knows there is only one person she would ever want to make that happen with….Ryan. But would he be interested? She already knew Ryan didn’t do permanent so he would be perfect for one night.

I loved this book from the first page and could not put it down. You could feel the passion sizzling between Amanda and Ryan right away and I couldn’t wait to see how it would work out. I love the way you got to know each character without losing focus on Amanda and Ryan’s story. Ryan wasn’t the playboy Amanda thought he was and Amanda wasn’t the perfect, good girl he thought she was. The passion was off the charts and the sex scenes were smoking hot as Amanda and Ryan got to know each other. This book is part of a series that left me drooling for book two.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Bad boy Neil Harrison may have sexy body and an even sexier smile, but there’s no way in hell architect Carson Kelly is falling for the elusive bachelor. For starters, he’s her boss, and getting intimately involved with the infuriating alpha male could be a career-killer. And secondly, he’s battling personal demons in one of the most dangerous ways possible: illegal street racing. After a friend’s tragic death years ago, Carson swore she’d never get involved in that life again.

Neil knows Carson’s keeping secrets and he’s determined to uncover all of them…even if he has to seduce them out of her. But as their antagonistic work relationship ignites a passionate affair, Carson must decide if protecting Neil from his need for speed is the perfect outlet for her own restless desire, or if they’re on a one-way path to destruction.

REVIEW:

Spectacular book! Neil and Carson’s story had me hooked from the first page. Carson was Neil’s architect and they fought their attraction towards each other until the bitter end. When they were unable to fight it anymore they nearly lit my kindle on fire. This book had the perfect amount of drama, action and passion. I loved the way the author told everyone’s story while still keeping the main story on Neil and Carson. I will absolutely add Gina Gordon to my list of great books!

DESCRIPTION:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julie Ann Walker dives back into action with the red-hot romantic suspense Black Knights Inc. series! They claim they’re bad-boy bikers who own custom motorcycle shop, but these special-ops guys—a mix of Navy SEALs, Army Rangers, Marines, FBI and more—handle the jobs too tough for the government to tackle.

“Wild” Bill Reichert knows a thing or two about explosives. The ex-Navy SEAL can practically rig a bomb blindfolded. But there’s no way to diffuse the inevitable fireworks the day Eve Edens walks back into his life, asking for help…Eve doesn’t know what to do when the Chicago police won’t believe someone is out to hurt her. The only place to turn is Black Knights Inc-after all, no one is better at protection than the covert special-ops team. Yet there’s also no one better at getting her all turned on than Billy Reichert. She has a feeling this is one blast from the past that could backfire big time.

REVIEW:

Another fun ride with the Black Knights Inc, this time with Eve and Billy. The chemistry between them all is always fun and exciting. Not just in the smooth way they operate but their inner thoughts always make me chuckle. The action, humor and smoldering romance kept me on the edge of my seat and turning the pages well into the night. Eve and Billy were a great pairing and the glimpse into Mac and Delilah has me anxiously awaiting the next installment.

BOOK DESCRIPTION

USMC helicopter pilot Michael McCade has two goals: Get his damn back into alignment and keep his nose clean until his commanding officer clears him to fly again. The doctor-recommended massage therapy seems like a necessary step toward returning to the cockpit, but when his too-hot-to-handle neighbor, Chloe Kincaid, turns out to be his masseuse, he strays from the straight and narrow in a major way.

Chloe Kincaid is looking for a simple, no strings attached, ego-boosting hook up. But when her positively panty-melting neighbor, USMC Major Michael McCade, (aka Major Hottie), shows up on her massage table, she lets desire get the better of professionalism. Now theyre pretending to be engaged to avoid a whole lot of unanticipated consequences of a momentary lapse in judgment. But can a girl who avoids attachments at all costs fake an engagement to a straight-arrow soldier without falling hard?

REVIEW:

Having never read Samanthe Beck before, I was not sure what to expect. With a hot cover and what sounded like a good story I figured it was worth a shot. I was blown away! Absolutely loved, loved, loved it. I was hooked from the first sentence and I could not get enough of this book. Sexy Chloe and smoking hot Michael nearly set my hair on fire with this book. They met under unlikely circumstances and the passion built from there. Beck created an amazing story of two people that couldn’t be more opposite, that I couldn’t wait to see where they’d end up. I will be looking for more of her books without a doubt. This book should be on my top 10 list.

Rated: 5 Stars

20130930-121231.jpg

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Can first love turn into the real deal? Anything can happen in a sizzling new Fool’s Gold story from New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery.

Isabel Beebe thinks she’s cursed in the romance department. Her teenage crush, Ford Hendrix, ignored all her letters. Her husband left her for another…man. So Isabel has come home to dust off her passion for fashion and run the family bridal shop until her parents are ready to sell it. Then she’ll pursue her real dreams. At least, that’s the plan, until sexy, charming Ford returns and leaves her feeling fourteen all over again…..

Seeing Isabel all grown-up hits bodyguard trainer Ford like a sucker punch. Back when heartbreak made him join the military, her sweet letters kept him sane. Now he can’t take his eyes—or his lips—off her. The man who gave up on love has a reason to stay in Fool’s Gold forever—if three little words can convince Isabel to do the same.

REVIEW:

I have been waiting forever to read Ford’s story and Susan Mallery did not disappoint. She even went the extra mile and added Kent’s story to the book. Isabel had been in love with Ford since she was 14 years old. So after seeing him again 14 years later it was instant fireworks, even if Ford didn’t want to admit it. The sex was amazing and the love story was touching. I love that I got to read Kent’s story as well. I love how she incorporated both into this book without making it too much.

Kent never thought he would find that special someone twice in his life. The moment he laid his eyes on Consuelo he was a goner. She tried to fight it by running away, but when something is that powerful she found that running isn’t always the answer. Susan Mallery has made Fool’s Gold the most magical place and I can’t wait to see who strikes it rich with love in her next book.

Special Ops soldier Griffin Reid doesn’t exactly have happy memories of growing up in Sunshine, Idaho. He’s only come back to recover from a war injury, and while he refuses to admit he’s in a weakened state, he finds comfort in the last person he’d expect.

Kate Evans teaches fourth grade science in Sunshine, the place she’s always called home. Dreaming of graduate school and a happily-ever-after, she’s desperate to break out of the monotony of Sunshine. Luckily, a certain sexy man has just come back into her life.

To Griffin, Kate as always been his little sister’s friend, but now he’s finding her to be so much more. As both attempt to forge their paths, they must decide if their passionate connection can turn into something lasting…

REVIEW:

Griffin fought what Kate wanted. Kate wanted Griffin. She pulled out all the stops. You could feel the chemistry as they both went after what they wanted…each other, even if only one of them is willing to admit it. I love the real life humor that Jill Shalvis writes into her stories. She makes you feel like you know the characters and you can’t wait to see how everything will turn out. Jill Shalvis is one of my favorite authors. Her books have the most realistic romance and humor, but she may have outdone herself with Rumor Has It. On more than one occasion I found myself laughing out loud.

BOOK DESCRIPTION
**Please Note: The Plus One Chronicles is a series of adult contemporary novels and are not intended for younger readers due to mature content.**

A PROPOSITION brings them together…Will an OBSESSION tear them apart?

In the explosive conclusion to The Plus One Chronicles Trilogy, obscenely rich, jaggedly handsome and still obsessed with love and vengeance, Sloane Michaels must face an impossible choice: lose the woman he loves or betray his twin sister’s memory.

Watching the man she adores destroy himself for revenge, Kat Thayne knows she should run and never look back. But running isn’t her way anymore. Kat has grown into a fierce fighter, and the man who helped her get there is the very man who needs her strength now. But as the sizzling passion and hard-won love bind Kat and Sloane even tighter together, old secrets and lies explode around them. Danger threatens. And Kat soon realizes that she’s risking more than her heart to be with Sloane…she’s risking her very life.

REVIEW:
Loved It! I have been impatiently waiting for Obsession to read the conclusion of Sloane and Kat’s story and I was left happy and satisfied after finishing the final book in this trilogy. I absolutely loved this trilogy! From the first book to the last we’ve seen Kat grow stronger and heal from her attack with the the training and support Sloane has given her. I loved that Sloane taught her to protect herself instead of just relying on someone else to protect her. We’ve also seen Sloane battle with his own past and loss and that all comes to a final decision in this book. Sloane and Kat’s passion and love grow binding them together throughout their story. Jennifer Lyon really made me feel for and love these characters. Heart-wrenching, emotional, suspenseful and filled with danger and passion. This trilogy is incredible! Obsession is the perfect ending for The Plus One Chronicles.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:
Rich, sexy and volatile, Sloane Michaels has a dark agenda that keeps his heart on ice. His extreme wealth gives him the control he craves and his skills as an ex UFC fighter the tools he’ll need to extract his ultimate revenge. But when the woman he never believed he’d see again crosses his path, Sloane is caught between the vengeance he needs and a sexual conquest he craves.

Kat Thayne has been in survival mode for six years, hiding behind the sweet creations for her bakery. But when a random carjacking brings her face-to-face with her darkest fears and hottest fantasy, Kat is forced out of hiding and offered a dangerously passionate proposition. One she knows she isn’t strong enough to refuse.

REVIEW:
Loved it! I’ve missed Jennifer Lyon! I loved her Winged Slayer Hunter series. This book is part of a new series she started that will be 3 books. The ending left me really wanting the next book! Sloane is a hot alpha hero that is an ex UFC fighter and he owns a chain of training facilities. I thought Kat was a great female character. She is learning to protect herself after surviving an attack in her past. She doesn’t want to be dependent on a man. These two have smoking hot chemistry when they come together! This is a super steamy romance with a great plot. I recommend this book to anyone looking for a sexy romance book. I can’t wait for the next book!

Savagely sexy billionaire Sloane Michaels ruthlessly controls his life and everything in it. Even his sex partners are carefully negotiated plus-one arrangements, including his latest, the fiery bakery owner, Kat Thayne. But Sloane’s control is challenged when his mentor becomes seriously ill, and his need for Kat, his need to possess her at all costs, rivals only his single-minded goal of vengeance for the murder of his sister.

After surviving an attack six years ago, Kat Thayne escaped her fears in the protective world of her beloved bakery. Then Sloane Michaels storms into her life, making her feel beautiful, strong and sexy. Yet as Kat pushes her boundaries and uncovers a dangerous secret in her past, Sloane’s controlling side emerges. Worried that Sloane will possess her mind, body and soul, Kat fights to keep her hard won independence. But just as Sloane demands her complete surrender, she discovers he has a dark side that could destroy them both.

REVIEW:
I love this series! Possession is the second book in The Plus One Chronicles and picks up where the first book, The Proposition, left off. The series should be read in order. The Plus One Chronicles is full of drama, danger, mystery, and smoking hot romance. Sloane is the ultimate sexy alpha male and pushes past all Kat’s barriers in this book. I love them together. Not only do they have chemistry and passion that will leave you sweating, but Sloane helps Kat become stronger and to get past her fears while also giving her the skills to protect herself. They both have tragedies in their pasts that are coming back into their lives in this book. Most women want to use Sloane for his money, power and connections. Kat is the first plus one relationship he has had that only wants the man, and this is making him want to possess all of her. Jennifer Lyon makes you really feel and love these characters. I can’t say enough good things about this series. They have everything I look for in great books. Possession has an intriguing plot, great characters, danger, mystery and a great love story. I loved it and can not wait for the third book, Obsession, to be released in September. Jennifer Lyon is one of my favorite authors because she always delivers a great romance story and she definitely delivered with Possession. I recommend this book, and this series for anyone looking for a great story with lots of smoking hot romance.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Larissa Ione’s bestselling Demonica series has captivated fans with its sensual blend of dark passion and demonic fury. Now she takes you to another intoxicating world—where a dangerous clan of wild vampires rules the night . . .

A WOMAN OUT FOR BLOOD
Nicole Martin was only eight years old when the vampire slaves rose up in rebellion and killed her family. Now she devotes her life to finding a vaccine against vampirism, hoping to wipe out her memories—along with every bloodsucker on the planet. But there’s one thing she cannot destroy: her searing, undeniable attraction for the one man she should hate and fear the most . . .

A VAMPIRE OUT FOR REVENGE
A member of the renegade vampire MoonBound Clan, Riker is haunted by demons of his own. When he recognizes Nicole and remembers how her family enslaved his loved ones, his heart burns for vengeance. But when he kidnaps Nicole and holds her in a secret lair, his mortal enemy becomes his soul obsession, his greatest temptation, and, perhaps, his only salvation—a hot-blooded lover who could heal him with her touch . . . or bury him forever.

REVIEW:

I loved this book! I’m a fan of Larissa Ione’s Demonica series and was excited when I saw she was releasing a new vampire series. She created a unique new world where vampires and humans are at war with each other and humans have enslaved vampires. I was completely pulled into this story. Riker, a sexy vampire, hates Nicole’s family and when he captures Nicole, the human CEO of a company that experiments and trains vampire slaves, he doesn’t want to be attracted to her and he definitely doesn’t want her to change is perception of her. They both have to overcome a lot of prejudices and misconceptions. There chemistry and passion can not be denied and they end up fighting for each other. I loved both the main characters and the secondary characters in this book. Larissa Ione creates characters that really leave an impression on the reader and left me wanting additional stories for the secondary characters. This was a unique, sexy and hot paranormal romance. I can not wait for the next book in this series and I highly recommend this book for paranormal romance lovers!
