Review: The Valentine’s Arrangement: A Hard Feelings Novel by Kelsie Leverich

The Valentine’s Arrangement: A Hard Feelings Novel by Kelsie Leverich
EBOOK Publication Date: January 31, 2013
Paperback Publication Date: December 31, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading In Pajamas/ Dawn
Rated: 4.5 Stars

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

The “emotional, spicy-hot story” (Belle’s Book Bag) that propelled Kelsie Leverich to the New York Times bestseller list!

Tattoo artist Ronnie Clark is counting the days until Valentine’s Day is over. Ronnie doesn’t do romance. She doesn’t do flowers or dates, and she sure as hell doesn’t do love—not anymore. Love leads to heartbreak, and she’s vowed never to let herself get hurt again.

Sergeant First Class Kale Emerson is home on his midtour leave from Iraq, but he only has one thing on his mind—returning to his soldiers to finish leading their mission. He’s dedicated to his men and to his country, and he’s not interested in getting wrapped up in a distracting relationship…but casual sex, that’s a different story. From the moment he sees Ronnie, he wants her. And he agrees to her terms: no romance, no fluff—just passion.

But as their sexual chemistry ignites, the lines of their arrangement get blurry, and Ronnie starts to push Kale away. And when Kale realizes he’s found his match in this gorgeous razor-tongued woman who is hell-bent against love, winning her heart could be the toughest battle he has ever fought.

REVIEW:

Absolutely loved this story! I never read a book by this author before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The story sounded interesting so I thought I’d give it a try. Ronnie is a tattoo artist with a smart mouth, and Kane is a bad ass military man. I could feel the temptation right from their first meeting. He took one look at her and wanted her like no other women. She took one look at him and knew she would have to fight her desire. She had sworn off all military men, but Kane was to much for her to resist. The passion between these two was amazing, and the sex was hot! Their story was truly heartfelt and emotional throughout the book, but not to the point it overshadowed Ronnie and James story. I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest of the series.

Review: My First – Jason & Katie (The Crossroad Series: Book One) by Melanie Shawn

My First – Jason & Katie (The Crossroad Series: Book One) by Melanie Shawn
Publication Date: June 6, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading In Pajamas/ Dawn
Rated: 4 Stars

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

Jason Sloan is known as Harper’s Crossing’s resident Romeo, and he’s never had to work too hard to live up to that nickname. With his easygoing charm, whiskey-colored brown eyes, and sinfully sexy half smile, women just seem to fall all over themselves when he’s around.

Well…most women, anyway. Katie Lawson’s the one woman who isn’t putty in his hands, and she’s the only one he’s ever wanted in his arms.

Katie Lawson left Harper’s Crossing in the middle of the night ten years ago, immediately after her high school boyfriend Nick’s funeral. She left behind all memories of Nick, and she left behind her life-long best friend, Jason Sloan.

Now she’s on the fast track to junior partner at one of San Francisco’s top law firms. She’s made a life for herself that’s all about maintaining order and sticking to the rules. Rule #1 is keeping herself WAY too busy to think about all that she ran away from. If she can do that, after all, she can keep everything under control.

But that rule is about to be broken. She’s headed back home to be the maid of honor in Nick’s little sister’s wedding. It’s time to face the truth she’s been avoiding all these years, the same one that sent her running ten years ago – that maybe she didn’t lose her first love the summer after high school. Maybe her first love has been waiting for her all this time, at home in Harper’s Crossing.
*Intended for Adults 18+*

REVIEW:

Jason and Katie’s story was fantastic. Katie dated Jason’s best friend Nick from seventh grade all the way through high school. A horrible tragedy sent Katie running away all the way across the country. Ten years later Katie’s best friend was getting married and Katie is the maid of honor. Immediately you could feel the love Jason has for Katie, but would Katie be able to put Nick behind her and finally be happy? I love the way the author told Katie and Jason’s story. There was so much emotion in this introduction to this series. It was a fast-paced story and I enjoyed it, but found I had to go back and read a few sections, almost like I missed a part. The author did a great job completing the story. I look forward to reading more books in this series.

Blog Tour: Caught Looking (Book One in the Hot-Lanta Series) by Meghan Quinn

TITLE – Caught Looking (Book one in the Hot-Lanta Series)
Author – Meghan Quinn
Genre – New Adult Contemporary Romance
Add to Goodreads –
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18713134-caught-looking

Synopsis
Things are starting to heat up in Atlanta, or at least in Jane’s celibate life of two years. On the two year anniversary of her nasty split between her and her ex, Jane’s friends, Molly – class “A” filthy mouth – and Albert – flamboyant dresser extraordinaire – decide it’s high time Jane drops the conservative persona, let loose and start to have some fun once again.

Brady Matthews, Atlanta Braves first baseman and well known through the media as Atlanta’s gigolo, thought he was just taking his new teammate, Michael Banks, out on the town. Little did he know Michael’s friend from college, Jane, was going to show up at their table and turn his world upside down.

When Brady meets Jane, he is instantly attracted to Jane’s innocence and inner sex kitten but the last thing she wants is to be thrown into another relationship with such a publicly known man-whore especially after her heart was broken so devastatingly. Brady makes it his mission to win Jane over and make her see him as the man he actually is, not the way the media perceives him. But it is not that simple. Wedding plans, spring training, ex’s, old college friends, the paparazzi and gossip magazines seem to keep getting in the way of Brady’s goal to earn Jane’s heart.

Caught Looking goes through the love lives of Jane, Brady and their group of friends fighting the hardships of cheating, trusting, losing love and trying to find it once again. In one of America’s hottest cities, the gang heats up the sheets while their lives entangle together causing heartache, suffering through loss and finding love….hopefully.

Synopsis:
The gang is back and this time there is a wedding to celebrate, except that is the last thing on Molly Meyers’ mind. After losing her fiancé, Luke, two years ago, the last thing on her mind is helping her best friend, Jane Bradley, plan her wedding and celebrate the annoyingly, obnoxious, lovey-dovey relationship Jane has with Braves first baseman, Brady Matthews.

Austin Lee, rookie outfielder for the Braves finds himself in the middle of a blonde tornado known as Molly. When her fiancé died, he gave her space and time to heal but always admired her from a far. Never in a million years did he think he would be bedding his dream girl and planning a future with her starring as his leading lady.

Patty O’Neil, abuse victim and Jane’s friend, finds herself struggling to let any man back in her life. Marc Sullivan, Braves catcher and Brady’s best friend, wants to be that man in Patty’s life but is finding it awfully difficult to crack the wall Patty built around herself. Patty wants Marc as a friend but Marc wants more.

Lucy Reynolds, Austin’s best friend and Molly’s worst enemy never thought she would find the love of her life while sitting in a café, eating Greek food and reading her Kindle but she did. Connor Cartwright luckily came into her life and she couldn’t be happier. The only problem is…he is Luke’s brother, something Molly can’t seem to accept.

“Playing the Field” goes through the lives of the Hot-Lanta gang as they tangle a drama filled web together, screwing each other, lying to one another, and sabotaging each other’s lives. Follow their story as once again the drama unfolds, feelings are hurt, slaps are thrown and Hot-Mess Molly tries to make everyone just as unhappy and miserable as she is.

Author Bio
When I was in high school I occasionally read books but was consumed by other teenage things so I didn’t take the time to appreciate a good book on a cloudy day, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch.

It wasn’t until I received a Kindle for Christmas one year that my world completely flipped upside down. When looking for books, I came across the Contemporary Romance genre and was sold and I haven’t turned back since.

You can either find my head buried in my Kindle, listening to inspiring heart ripping music or typing away on the computer twisting and turning the lives of my characters while driving my readers crazy with anticipation.

I am currently residing in beautiful Colorado Springs where the sun is always shining and there is a trail waiting to be hiked on every corner. I share a lovely and warm home with the love of my life and my five, four-legged children.

Review: Sweetest Mistake by Candis Terry

Sweetest Mistake by Candis Terry
Publication Date: December 31, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading In Pajamas/ Dawn
Rated: 4 Stars

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

When friends become lovers . . .

Firefighter and former Marine Jackson Wilder has tough guy down to an art, but he’s learned the hard way that promises were made to be broken. Abigail Morgan was once his best friend, his first kiss, his first love, his first everything. He’d just forgotten to mention all that to her and she blew out of his life. Five years later, she’s back and he’s battling a load of mistrust for her disappearing act. But for some reason he just can’t keep his lips—or his hands—to himself.

It can lead to disaster or . . .

When her stint as a trophy wife abruptly ends, Abby returns home to Sweet, Texas, and comes face-to-face with Jackson—her biggest and sexiest mistake. Time and distance did nothing to squash her love for the act-first-think-later stubborn hunk of a man, and when he suggests they renew their old just-friends vow, Abby realizes she wants more. She’d cut and run once. Could she do it again? Or could she tempt him enough to break his promise?

The Sweetest Mistake

REVIEW:

A great story that takes you through a journey of first loves finding each other all over again. Abby and Jackson have known each other their whole lives and have been in love with each other about that long, but not knowing the other felt the same way. Abby came back to town to sell her parents house after her divorce. Jackson came back to town after being in the military. Their attraction sizzled from the moment they saw each other after Abby had left town so many years ago without an explanation. I loved watching these two reconnect their lives and rekindling their past had obstacles that kept me interested. I look forward to the next book in the series.

Review: It Takes Two (Counting on Love, Book 2) by Erin Nicholas

It Takes Two (Counting on Love, Book 2) by Erin Nicholas
Publication Date: September 17, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading in Pajamas/ Dawn
Rated: 4 Stars

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

How do you fall out of love with a man who’s all in?

Isabelle Dixon never should have said yes to that first date, but she couldn’t resist Shane Kelley’s larger-than-life personality. Except now Shane seems determined to make their no-strings fling into something more.

If she thought dating Shane was hard work, breaking up is proving to be much harder. Especially since she’s planning on making some major life changes that don’t include staying out all night, Jell-O shots, and a sex toy shop punch card. She needs a restful cabin getaway—alone—to gather her thoughts. And the strength to finally end things for good.

Shane has always prided himself on being the good-time guy. Exactly Isabelle’s type…or so he thought. Yet ever since he suggested her moving in, she’s been pulling back. Thing is, Shane does everything with gusto—including falling in love.

He’s not about to let her get away that easily. Even if it means chasing her heart down a crazy road to prove that no matter what life throws at them, they make a damned good team.

Warning: Contains a strange road trip with several weird tourist stops, some hot sex in a car wash, and two people who are just crazy enough to be perfect for one another.

REVIEW:

Isabelle and Shane embark on a road trip with the goal of trying to decide if they are ready to take the next step in their relationship. Shane wants Isabelle to move in with him. Shane is the happy party guy and he thinks Isabelle is the happy party girl. Isabelle is scared that if she is living with Shane he will see that she is not the happy party girl he thinks she is. Isabelle was recently diagnosed fibromyalgia and is scared that if she can’t keep up with Shane he won’t love her like he does now. Their road trip ends up being a soul searching trip with high emotions as Shane learns of Isabelle new diagnosis and needs to decide if he can be the man for her to lean on. Isabelle makes the road trip exciting with fun games and extra site-seeing stops. Shane and Isabelle can’t keep their hands off of each other and their road trip was made even more fun with the scorching sex in the most unexpected places. Isabelle and Shane started their relationship based on attraction and scorching hot sex, but will that be enough?

This book is part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone. It Takes Two is the second book in The Counting on Love Series.

Review: Hot Pursuit: A Sugarland Blue Novel by Jo Davis

Hot Pursuit: A Sugarland Blue Novel by Jo Davis
Publication Date: December 3, 2013
Reviewed By: Reading In Pajamas/ Cori
Rated: 4.5 Stars

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

In Sugarland, Detective Taylor Kayne is always ready with quick wit and a quicker smile. But he’s about to meet a woman who will make him want to take his sweet time….

Taylor is a laid-back, smart-aleck kind of lawman. He’s also a man’s man, as well as every woman’s private fantasy. But years ago, he was part of a botched hostage situation that ended with him being hailed as a tough-as-nails hero—even though the pain, fear, and shame from that terrible day still haunt his every moment.

Cara Evans couldn’t care less about Taylor’s pain. In the moment he became a so-called hero, she lost someone she dearly loved. Yet neither of them is prepared for the instant, undeniable attraction that flares between them—or the danger that’s soon hot on their heels.

REVIEW:

I always love Jo Davis’s books whether she is writing romantic suspense or writing paranormal romance as J.D. Tyler, she always delivers sizzling romance. Hot Pursuit is the second book in the Sugarland Blue series, which is a spin-off of her Firefighters of Station Five series. I like to read books that are part of a series in the series reading order, but this book can be read as a standalone. I love this new series! Taylor and Cara have a painful past, but there is no denying their instant chemistry when they come face to face. Hot Pursuit took me on an emotional ride that held my interest throughout the book. Taylor and Cara’s story has everything I look for in a great romance book. It has an action packed and suspenseful plot with great characters, as well as the smoking hot romance I love. I highly recommend Hot Pursuit and the Sugarland Blue series for romantic suspense lovers. I can’t wait for the next book to be released.

Review: Gabriel’s Redemption (Gabriel’s Inferno Trilogy) by Sylvain Reynard

Gabriel’s Redemption (Gabriel’s Inferno Trilogy) by Sylvain Reynard
Publication Date: December 3, 2013
Reviewed by: Reading In Pajamas/ Cori
Rated: 4 Stars

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

From the author of the New York Times bestsellers Gabriel’s Rapture and Gabriel’s Inferno comes the epic conclusion to the captivating romantic trilogy.

Professor Gabriel Emerson has left his position at the University of Toronto to embark on a new life with his beloved Julianne. Together, he’s confident that they can face any challenge. And he’s eager to become a father.

But Julianne’s graduate program threatens Gabriel’s plans, as the pressures of being a student become all consuming. When she is given the honor of presenting an academic lecture at Oxford, Gabriel is forced to confront Julianne about the subject of her presentation—research that conflicts with his own. And in Oxford, several individuals from their past appear, including an old nemesis intent on humiliating Julia and exposing one of Gabriel’s darkest secrets.

In an effort to confront his remaining demons, Gabriel begins a quest to discover more about his biological parents, beginning a chain of events that has startling repercussions for himself, Julianne, and his hope of having a family.

REVIEW:

Gabriel’s Redemption is a great conclusion to Gabriel’s Inferno Trilogy! If you haven’t read this trilogy yet, it’s a series full of steamy romance, conflict and emotion. Sylvian Reynard’s writes a beautiful story and completely captivates the reader. Gabriel faces a lot of his demons in this final book. The story kept me on edge and flipping the pages to see what would happen next. I highly recommend this trilogy for romance lovers who are looking for a steamy read with a sexy alpha male. You’ll love the professor!
