Everyone’s always said I’m a troublemaker. So it’s not exactly shocking when I fall for my boss, his boss… and the guy I put a curse on in high school.

This summer, I’m working as a paralegal at a fancy law firm, trying to keep my head down.

Then Evan—charming, ambitious, definitely too-hot-to-be-a-lawyer—asks me to be his fake girlfriend to help him make partner. I say yes. Obviously.

I also meet Christopher: senior partner, older, bossy, and practically married to his tailored suits. Turns out he has a soft spot for brats… and for sharing women—with Evan.

Things are getting very interesting.

And then Tucker walks in.

My high school nemesis. The guy I cursed out (and cursed for real) during my goth phase. He’s back—and now a ripped, repentant construction foreman who wants to make peace. And maybe more.

I don’t stand a chance. These three men are charming, dominant, and ridiculously into me. They’re breaking down my walls one steamy encounter at a time.

This summer fling is supposed to end in July. I’m supposed to leave, keep my heart locked down, and not fall in love with three men who are completely, totally, inappropriately perfect for me.

Oops.

Three Bossy Boyfriends is a standalone MMFM why choose rom-com full of chaos, curses, and chemistry. Expect fake dating, enemies-to-lovers, workplace hijinks, and enough steam to melt your Kindle.

 

Well developed characters, sassy dialogue and humor mixed with heat is always guaranteed! Emma Foxx is delivering their signature humorous, sassy why choose romance along with a touch of forbidden and enemies to lovers thrown in to spice it all up a bit with their latest delve into Honeysuckle Harbor. As always, I was instantly hooked on all four players in the game and turning page after page to get to know this sassy heroine who has three successful men bowing to her every need. The tension is high, the drama is spot on and the lusty goodness always hits the spot. I wanted a smidge more to the ending just so we could see how they settled into their little family, but overall I whole heartedly enjoyed their love story!

Vegas was supposed to be a road trip.
A simple job to get me away from the chaos back home.
But it turned out to be something so much more.
A forbidden connection that could never be stopped.

In the neon-lit shadows of Sin City, Phoenix and I finally give in to what’s been burning between us. With no big brother looming over our every move, we’re free to explore our newfound romance. Phoenix touches me like I’m something sacred, kisses me like he’s been starving for it. Every night in his arms makes me forget the war raging back home—until reality crashes back in.

The club is under siege. Our family is scattered to the wind.
And the enemies we thought we’d defeated are rising stronger than before.

Maverick doesn’t know that Phoenix and I are together, or the secrets we shared in Vegas, including the ones that bind us together. And when we finally make it home, his fury will be devastating. With danger closing in from all sides, I have to choose between the family that raised me and the man who owns my heart.

But maybe the scariest part isn’t heading home. Maybe, when you’re blissfully happy in the City of Sin, and you’re on the run from the Cartel,perhaps the scariest part is, you won’t make it home at all.

 

Suspenseful and nerve wracking! I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a fan of a cliffhanger, but when a series already has my heart and it takes one to wrap it all up I’m going to be there every step of the way. That said, Clover and Phoenix are driving me crazy! I like them both from the time they’ve spent with the MC family throughout the course of the series, but them off flitting through life while danger is knocking on everyone else’s door is just irritating. I read each page with them in it just hoping to get back to the heart of the MC and their conflict. I love this series as a whole … I just am not at a place to relish this teen love drama at a heart stopping time like this for the group. Angsty and addictive for sure overall but an irritating sub plot. I’m looking forward to the conclusion!

five-stars

Gigi Gallo’s childhood was filled with the roar of a motorcycle and the hum of a tattoo gun. Her dream has always been to work at her family’s tattoo shop — Inked. But on her first day of work, she runs into someone from her not-so-innocent past.

Pike Moore is a bossy biker with a cocky attitude and an even bigger ego. He came to Inked to start over. New town. New job. New roots. None of that included coming face-to-face with the hot chick who spent a week in his bed before she vanished without a trace.

But when they are forced to work together, feelings they thought had been extinguished come roaring back and ignite a spark neither can stop.

 

An unforgettable meet cute for the first next generation Gallo love story! If you thought Chelle Bliss had your attention with her Gallo family in the first series, just wait until you see what the kiddo’s have in store for you now that they are all growing up and taking off into the big bad world. This book centers around City and Suzy’s kid Giovanna and I couldn’t have loved it more! Gigi is sassy and opinionated just like her Mama and she is used to wrapping the men in her life around her little finger, so meeting a big bad biker like dude at a bar on a dare is more than she bargained for.

I loved the characters, the sass, the danger and most of all the heart that Bliss delivers in this story. There’s lots of emotion and depth as Gigi and Pike fall in love, but there’s also family drama, danger and shocking revelations that no one was expecting. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a family centric romance where they love hard and fight for each other no matter what!

four-stars

In this gripping fourth installment of the Schock Sisters Mystery Series, Meg and Charlie Schock confront a decades-old murder buried by privilege, power—and a killer still watching.

A glittering party. A dead girl. A cold case that won’t stay buried.

Thirty years ago, eight-year-old Tiffany was found murdered during her family's lavish holiday party—her body hidden among the champagne and secrets of D.C.’s most powerful elite. The case faded, buried by money, influence, and silence.

Now, as the anniversary of her death looms, sisters Charlie and Meg Schock are pulled into their most chilling investigation yet. When their mother launches a campaign to reopen the case, it ignites a media storm and political backlash. Ordered to stand down by U.S. Attorney JJ Carrington, the sisters do what they do best—dig deeper.

What they uncover is a legacy of privilege and lies… and a killer hiding in plain sight, ready to kill again.

In a city where truth is deadly and silence protects the powerful, the Schock sisters must decide: How far will they go to speak for the dead?

 

Attention grabbing from start to finish! It didn’t take long in the company of the Schock family to be hooked on their brand of disfunction and hilarity. I was quickly drawn into the cold case that was garnering their attention and causing so much drama in their lives. Charlie is under pressure to get justice for this case her mother is determined to shine a light on, but it’s putting her in a tough spot with her boyfriend and his bigwig bosses. I enjoyed the characters, but wanted a bit more background on them and on their relationships to get a complete picture on who they all were and to make it a truly standalone story. The drama and mystery leading up to the big finale of catching the killer was really interesting, but I felt a disconnect with the abrupt ending between Charlie and JJ. An enjoyable read overall that held my attention and kept me entertained.

From the moment Creole Williams met Audric Ingram, they were inseparable.

But not the way one would think.

They shared a best friend.

What they did not do, however, was like each other.

You could say that it was a war to win the best friend title.

The only problem was, their best friend would never choose a clear winner. So they spent their teenage years fighting it out. What Audric didn’t know, though, was that Creole was desperately in love with him.

The same went for Audric. He wanted Creole more than his next breath.

But it was never the right time.

Then life happened, and it kicked them both in the teeth.

One second they’re acting, and the next the anger is real, and neither one of them can stand to be near the other.

For years, they fight it out, one-upping each other to the point where neither one of them can be in the same room with each other without things going to hell.

Then one day their best friend dies, and they have to figure out a way to live without her.

There’s no fighting anymore, at least verbally. Physically, however? They let their bodies duke it out the fun way.

But in the end, neither one of them wins.

 

Dramatic and heartfelt! The next book in Vale’s Content Advisory Series brings Audric’s story. We knew it was going to be emotional because of the loss we knew he had suffered, but there is so much backstory that we had no clue about that makes it even more drama filled and addictive. The characters are quick to catch the reader’s attention and the plot is thick with strife and redemption. I really liked both Audric and Creole and their happily ever after was magical.

Creole was my favorite. She’s sweet and sincere to those who know her, but she’s had a hard life and doesn’t forgive when she’s wronged. I liked seeing her and Audric get to a place of uncovering misunderstandings and letting their attraction flare into a loving relationship.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a dramatic romance with great characters, a plot filled with so much to talk about and a happily ever after that will have you swooning!

The police ruled Elijah Martinez’s death an accidental drug overdose, but the teen’s grieving mother isn’t convinced. With the case officially closed, Angelhart Investigations is the only one who can help her find the truth. Margo Angelhart’s sure this will be an easy solve—she’ll talk to Elijah’s friends and employer, retrace his steps, and figure out what happened in his final hours.

Except none of his friends believe he did drugs, and the teacher who’s been vocal about the police mishandling the case turns up dead. Every thread Margo pulls leads back to a dangerous drug ring that once ran through the school.

When Margo’s brother Jack, a former cop, can’t get straight answers out of the police, they don’t know if it’s because of an active case…or a cover-up. Margo’s only sure of one thing—she has to find out what really happened to Elijah before more teens become pawns in a twisted scheme.

 

Quick to grab your attention and entertaining throughout! The next book in Brennan’s Angelhart Investigations series is sure to please fans of the series. We have had one previous novel and two novellas that have given us a good feel for the foundation of this family of investigators and they are quickly endearing themselves to reader hearts. The family is close knit but have enough drama surrounding parts of their life that keeps everyone on their toes as conflict is quick to flare on occasion. The cases they solve always have intricate situations surrounding them that deliver unexpected surprises and danger often. I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves a family centric whodunnit that always delivers an emotional case as well as good natured family time along the way. I’m looking forward to more to come in the series!

Boston Bearcats rookie Robbie Corrigan is living the dream. He’s made it to the NHL, his best friend/teammate and fellow “orgasm donor” is his roomie—and the women of Boston love them both. Life is sweet. That is, until he meets Skylar Paige, division 1 softball pitcher, girl least likely to take anyone’s bull…and the one member of the opposite sex immune to his charms. Robbie might be dazzled by the badass pitcher, but Skylar pegs him as a filthy player and wants nothing to do with him.

When he discovers she’s carrying a serious torch for her brother’s best friend, Robbie knows he should just go back to clubbing and whipped cream bikini parties, but he can’t seem to leave Skylar to flounder on her romantic quest to land another man. Nor can he miss out on the opportunity to spend time with her and hopefully redeem himself. Before Robbie knows it, he’s agreed to be Skylar’s fake boyfriend/love coach at an upcoming family wilderness competition where her crush will be in attendance. What could go wrong?

Through a series of contests that require them to trust each other, Robbie and Skylar grow closer and closer until their fake relationship starts to feel like the realest thing they’ve ever known and the sizzling lessons in sensuality burn out of control.

But it’s all just pretend…right?

 

Tessa Bailey always delivers on adorable sass! The fourth book in her Big Shots series delivers a fake dating trope with a touch of enemies to lovers, brother’s best friend, and unrequited love thrown in as a bonus. Robbie is your typical playboy hockey player who turns over a new leaf the second Skylar walks into his world and blows it away. Definitely a cute take on he falls first! The characters are really easy to like, their banter and spark keep the reader entertained and the happily ever after is swoon worthy. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fast paced snarky story with lots of humor, heart and happily ever afters!

five-stars

In a quiet suburban neighborhood in upstate New York, single mom Kelly Gibson is slain in her home—the victim of a rage killing. Right away, Sheriff Bree Taggert has three persons of interest: an angry soon-to-be ex-husband, a furtive rebound boyfriend, and an obsessive neighbor.

But as Bree and investigator Matt Flynn work together to narrow the field, there’s a shocking twist in the case: a second woman is murdered in the same brutal fashion.

While investigating, Bree is attacked and left for dead. When another woman is kidnapped, Bree and Matt must act quickly to unravel the deceptions in Kelly’s life and death and find a killer before someone else dies.

 

Leigh’s Bree Taggert series is always a top notch read! A gruesome local murder brings Bree and her investigative team to center stage once again as they race against time to figure out who is behind the subterfuge in time to stop additional killings. The case is laid out with lots of twists and turns that bring excitement to the happenings of the team. I love the family and human aspect that is always shown along with the working side of things when Bree and Matt are together. I was a tad surprised that we didn’t get to see a reaction from one person in the middle of the case to wrap it all up into a neat bow at the end, but it didn’t disrupt my enjoyment of the book at all. I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a top notch female cop who brings heart and integrity to life during every case she works on.

The last time I saw Lexington Montgomery, he held my sister in his arms as my fiancé left me at the altar.

Neither one of us knew it would be two years until we saw each other again. Or that it would be the last time my sister was part of our core group.

Grieving, I’m back in Colorado trying to start over. I have no family and have no intention of dating ever again.

Only fate has other plans because Lexington Montgomery is my new neighbor.

I want to stay away from him, but there’s no chance of that now. Especially when his ex shows up to rub her new husband—and the chance at his dream job—in his face.

I didn’t mean to do it, but now I’m Lex’s fake girlfriend over the holidays and there’s nothing fake about the attraction between us.

Except once we finally give in, it turns out the past I ran from wasn’t so far away after all. And the dangers we never saw coming might end what we have—fake or not—before we even have a chance.

Lexington Montgomery is Beckett and Eliza’s son from Inked Obsession.

 

Sweet, sexy and sincere in all the right places! The next book in Ryan’s Montgomery Ink Legacy series brings a friends to lovers trope to life with several twists in the middle. I loved the two main characters and the supporting cast of a lot of cousins and fam was easy to follow and added a lot of heart. I wanted more development in both key happenings that occurred on the day the book starts because both were light in details and left a lot of emotion and drama on the table that was not settled satisfactorily. Overall I loved their book and the outcome of Lex and Mercy’s relationship. I look forward to more to come in the series!

Lexington was my favorite character. He’s really kind and has had some bad luck with relationships in the past, but watching him allow his feelings for Mercy to come to life was really sweet and heartwarming. Loved the addition of his parents snark.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone enjoying a fast paced, dramatic love story that is heavy on family camaraderie.

One night. One heartbreak. One man she could never forget.

Years ago, Brooke Snyder gave her heart — and her innocence — to Aiden Sterling, her best friend’s older brother. For one perfect night, he was hers. Then he walked away without looking back.

Heartbroken, she focused on her career, and tried to move on, while he was half a world away. But no man ever measured up to Aiden, and the one time she tried, ended in disaster.

Now, he’s back to help his ailing father, and avoiding him isn’t an option— not when they’re forced to work together and definitely not when she’s sleeping in the bedroom next to his.

The past crackles between them, charged with everything they never said and everything they still feel. Every look dares her to remember. Every touch reminds her exactly what she spent years trying to forget.

Giving him her body is easy. But how can she protect her heart… when the man who broke it is the only one who can put it back together?

 

Carly Phillips always delivers on relatable characters and dramatic love stories! The next book in The Sterling Family series brings globetrotting journalist son Aiden home and reuniting with childhood friend/turned fledgling love interest Brook. His latest assignment left a bad taste in his mouth and danger lurking when he least expects it. Reuniting with his family and friends is bittersweet when he realizes he just might have brought the bad guys to their door. There wasn’t a whole lot of relationship development here overall, but the story as a whole was both heartfelt and emotional and left me pulling for their happily ever after right from the start. I love this series and am looking forward to the next book.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a family centric romance that finds each sibling finding their forever love in dramatic ways as the family loves and supports from the sidelines.
