Is he her shelter from the storm…

Or her biggest mistake?

Valencia Donovan’s plan to dazzle the wealthy investor she needs for her horse rescue start-up takes an unexpected turn when a tornado strands her with Lorenzo Cortez-Williams. Giving in to attraction in a desperate moment only makes them hungry for more. After they've blown away all boundaries, Valencia’s treacherous feelings for the guarded ranching heir could jeopardize her lifelong dream. But closing the deal—while walking away from their intimate affair—could cost her even more…

 

Sensually scandalous! With book six in the ongoing Texas Cattleman’s Club: Heir Apparent series Joanne Rock brings us Valencia and Lorenzo’s story. The characters are easy to like and the saga surrounding Soiree on the Bay continues to be interwoven into each story. I connected well with the characters, but the ending was rather abrupt. I enjoyed the story as a whole and look forward to the last couple of books yet to come in the series.

Valencia is kind-hearted and devoted to her horse rescue.

Lorenzo is a tad pretentious but he’s wears it well and won me over regardless.

I recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys a fast paced story filled with lush backgrounds, connectible characterization and lots of sensual appeal.

Fury

As Sergeant-at-Arms of the Untamed Sons, my job is simple. Kill anyone who tries to hurt the club. Bleeding a man is the only thing that keeps me level, until I meet her. Amalia is not like any woman I've come across and when I'm with her my fear of being touched disappears. Stalking her might have been a bad decision, but keeping away from her isn't my choice. I can't breathe when she's away from me, and i can't stand the thought of something happening to her, so when she gets in trouble, my only thought is on protecting what's mine.

Amalia

Falling for my stalker might be a mistake, but I can't stop being drawn to Fury. I see his demons and the darkness that swirls around him, but I don't care. I want him, and nothing is going to stop me from having him. When I witness a murder, my only choice is to go to the only man i know will protect me, even if that puts him and his club in the firing line.

 

Powerful and endearing! With book six in her Untamed Sons MC series Jessica Ames is bring us her most tortured hero yet with FURY.  The characters are addictive and while I wanted more development of their relationship to really be able to sink my teeth into them as a couple, I did like them both very much. The tension is high, the emotions are free flowing and the intrigue was explosive. I’m looking forward to more in the series!

Fury has been a key character in this entire series and it’s satisfying to learn his ugly back story that only makes us love him more than ever. He’s loyal and true and his demons are understandable.

Amalia won me over quickly because she just knows Fury is solid and is willing to put forth an effort to believe in him.

I recommend this book and entire series to anyone who enjoys a raw motorcycle club series that has so much heart mixed up in the ugly and good that make them who they are.

four-half-stars

Jett Olsson isn’t looking for anything serious and she’s not looking for anything at all, so why does it seem so hard to keep it professional?

I love my life—the thrill of being on the ice as part of the Arizona Vengeance, the rush of winning, the adoration of the fans. And if that adoration means I don’t have to spend the night alone, well even better. I’m content being single and always ready to mingle.

But the day Emory Holland walks into a Vengeance team meeting my attention is caught like never before. I can tell right away she’s full of smarts and sass, and the fact that she’s hot as hell sure doesn’t hurt either. She immediately shuts down my advances, so I opt for the road less traveled—straight to the friend zone.

My approach works like a charm, and when she invites me into her bed for a no-strings, friends-with-benefits arrangement, I vow to give her everything I have. She’s been hurt before, and if I’m able to help her heal while giving her a spectacularly satisfying time *pats self on back*, then I’ll be happy.

Or at least that’s the lie I keep telling myself as the time ticks down on the final buzzer of our “relationship”. Now the real question is, can I score the winning goal in a game neither of us realized we were playing?

 

Sexy, sweet and oh so satisfying! The Arizona Vengeance is back with a bang with JETT and I loved every minute of him! The characters are endearing, the plot is fresh and fun and the team is a blast as always. The ending was abrupt and I wanted a bit more of Jett’s back story, but overall I adored him and loved his story!

Jett is the sweetest. Yes, he’s a player, but he’s respectful and true about what he is and watching him fall for Emory and the life she has to offer is so sweet.

Emory is a fresh voice in the back office and fun to get to know. Her story is emotional and deep and watching her fall for Jett and let him lighten up her life was really special.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a hockey romance with endearing characters and loads of heart.

four-stars

A talented rookie who's about to lose it all. A reluctant sports therapist who might be able to help.

He has everything a man could want. A lucrative hockey contract. Adoring fans. A family who loves him.

But he’s about to throw it all away. Logan Tate’s name is dominating the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Instead of goals and assists, the talented young defenseman has been racking up fights and suspensions.

I work with athletes who are struggling, but Logan’s different. He’s not just going to blow his season, but his entire career. And now he can’t return to the ice until he deals with his issues, but the stubborn man won’t let anyone get close enough to help.

Which is why I packed up and followed him to his family’s property in the remote mountains of Colorado. He can’t avoid me here.

The only problem?
I can’t avoid him either. He’s chopping wood and building fires, rescuing my car from snowy ditches, and inviting me to Sunday dinners with his loud extended family. He’s a whole lot of man, but beneath all those hard edges is an unexpected tenderness.

Tempted or not, I have to stay out of his bed and get him back to the ice . . . no matter how difficult that might be.

 

An emotional addition to the Looking to Score series from Kendall Ryan! THE ROOKIE is a bit unorthodox in that there is not a lot of hockey or much in the way of team camaraderie in it but Logan’s  family steals the show and makes the reader fall in love with each and every member of them by the end of the book. I wanted more of Logan and Summer together after they finally admit they’re all in, but I enjoyed their journey!

Logan is an interesting character who has a lot going on in his life at the moment that manages to take us on a journey to his family home in Colorado.

Summer is trying her best to get Logan back on the ice and back in a good head space.

I recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who enjoys a hockey romance with a lot of heart.

An instant family…
Is life-changing!

Pregnant construction supervisor Jo Bertoletti doesn’t need anyone’s help…or another heartbreak. So she’s putting handsome, kindhearted firefighter Ozzy Lakeman firmly into the friend zone. After all, she’s just passing through Butterfly Harbor, and her life is too complicated for a summer romance. But Ozzy feels an immediate connection. Can he convince the woman of his dreams to take a chance on building a forever family with him?

 

A return visit to Butterfly Harbor is like going home! Anna J. Stewart has done a phenomenal job of wrapping a small town around her readers’ hearts and giving us story after story filled with a strong supporting cast of friends and family in this small coastal town that manages to house so much love. With an amazing tenth book in her Butterfly Harbor Stories series Stewart brings us one of her sweetest heroes ever when Ozzy finally meets the love of his life in BUILDING A SURPRISE FAMILY. Great characters, strong back stories and a sweet happily ever after that will make you melt!

Ozzy has been a character that I’ve felt a connection with from the very beginning of the series and seeing him work so hard to realize some dreams has been so rewarding. I loved him in this book and seeing him happy is the best.

Jo is strong willed and self-sufficient, but seeing her let her guard down and let Ozzy bring a softness to her life is really inspiring.

I highly recommend this book and the entire series to anyone who loves a small town romance filled with easily relatable characters and a friendly cast of extras in every story that make the town fulfilling.

Leo Winter loves his life. He works when he needs money. He rides when he craves freedom. He frequents the local bar when he wants a good time. The Tin Gypsies might be a memory, but the bachelor life he lived with his motorcycle club still suits him fine. So when a one-night stand surprises him at a family barbecue and claims she’s pregnant with his child, he’s certain he’s died and gone to hell.

Cassandra Cline took one night off from her structured life. One. And now her wild fling with the local bad boy has turned her life sideways. Her dreams and academic career are circling the drain, and none of it would have happened if she’d stayed far, far away from Leo.

Except avoiding him is impossible, especially when she’s forced to move home to Clifton Forge, Montana. And he refuses to leave her side when a series of strange accidents put her and their baby at risk. But are they accidents? Or is she standing in the middle of a battlefield she doesn’t understand?

Her only allies are people she barely knows. And a man who has the potential to steal her heart.

If only he’d stop playing the fool.

 

The ultimate bad boy has met his match! With book five in the Tin Gypsy series Devney Perry has Leo being a jerk throughout a good part of the book … and yet I still love that lug of a jerk! He’s family now am I right?! In FALLEN JESTER Leo’s wandering ways will get the best of him when a one night hookup shows up with a big surprise for him. I’m finally caught up with my series binge and now I’m going to be counting the days until book six gets here. I love this loveable group of guys and gals and all of their danger and drama.

Leo is loyal and lovable even when he’s being a jerk. He’s playful and fun, but he’s a bit of a crossroads even before he learns that he has a baby on the way.

Cass is steadfast and determined on her course in life, but the aftereffects of the trauma she suffered recently has her reeling and looking for comfort and fun. That fun brought more than she bargained for though.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys an MC series that has a family of misfits who love hard and remain loyal to the bone.

Convenient vows…
…for their baby’s sake!

His brief was simple: confirm whether model Oriel Cuvier is the secret daughter of a Bollywood legend. But when billionaire security specialist Vijay Sahir locks eyes with Oriel, all thoughts of work disappear—leading to a few stolen hours where all rules are broken…

Weeks later, Oriel gets two life-changing surprises. First, the truth about her birth mother. Second, she’s pregnant with Vijay’s child! He demands marriage, but can she really promise to honor and cherish him when, until now, all they’ve shared is one extraordinary encounter?

 

A surprise pregnancy is just the beginning of the drama about to unravel in the first book of The Secret Sisters duet by Dani Collins. MARRIED FOR ONE REASON ONLY kicks off a little slow and confusing, but the characters and all of the secondary characters start to make sense eventually and deliver a satisfying romance. I’m looking forward to the second part of the duet.

Oriel is accomplished and successful yet doubts herself and where she fits. As the storyline unravels, she feels justified in her doubts as secrets are exposed.

Vijay is secretive and troublesome at first, but ends up being a pretty stable guy.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes a lot of drama and subterfuge mixed into their romance.

Twenty-three-year-old hockey stud Logan Pelletier is having the time of his life as the ultimate bachelor. It’s all about hockey and living it up with his friends. He has no time for love, let alone a relationship. Until a spunky, hockey-playing stripper dances into his life... and his bed.

Miss independent Cassidy Reynolds is already 0-2 in the marriage department. And the twice divorced twenty-four year old isn’t looking for lucky number three. She’s focused on hockey and getting a college degree. Stripping is just a means to an end, but when her friends from the Alaska Blizzard hockey team start hanging out at the club, she knows it won’t be long before they figure out her secret.

As Logan and Cassie blur the lines, will it be game over for their friendship or will it be the start of something more?

 

Highly enjoyable friends to lovers story! Kat Mizera delivers lots of sass with book nine in her Alaska Blizzard hockey series and I loved every minute of it! The characters were quick to catch my attention and had me invested in their chemistry throughout. Looking forward to more in this super fun series!

Logan is fun loving and sincere and loves hockey and having a good time. He’s not looking for a relationship, but have Cassie in close quarters certainly brings temptation to life!

Cassie is an all around great person who has been handed a crappy hand a few times in life. It’s heartwarming to watch her let her guard down just a little with Logan and even Ryder.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves a hockey romance filled with hunky men and lots of laughs and sexy times around each corner.

The night Luke Rosen met Scarlett Marks was the only time he’s regretted becoming chief of police. One horrific night of blood and death, and now she’s living under his roof—all because he swore an oath to serve and protect.

Scarlett is stubborn and infuriating. She has no respect for the order in his structured life, and she never does anything she’s told. Worse, she doesn’t seem to care that the information she has on a motorcycle gang means she might end up dead. But her unwavering strength, her courage and tenacity and beauty, makes it impossible for him to abandon her.

If Luke is going to keep her safe, he’ll have to make the hardest decision of his life. He can either honor his values as a cop, knowing Scarlett is unlikely to survive . . . or he can break all the rules and protect the woman who’s invaded his home and his heart.

 

This series is keeping me on my toes! With book four in the always exciting Tin Gypsy series Devney Perry brings us Luke and Scarlett’s story in NOBLE PRINCE and I highly enjoyed it! The drama is intense, the romance is spot on and the overlapping of setting up another story for the next book always keeps me hungry for more.

Scarlett is a flawed character and though she’s easy to sympathize with because of her childhood, she is not easy to like at first until we get to know her true self and she admits her weakness. In the end I felt her story was very sincere and powerful.

Luke is such a nice guy and I loved him to pieces. He had to compromise with his morals a few times to keep him honest with himself, but he kept things as copacetic as he could while loving his woman the best way he knew how.

I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who loves a juicy MC romance with secrets, lies and drama always wrapped up in a hot romance with an alpha man.

Running from a wedding…
… to a whole new future!
Bree Allenby’s first stop on her road trip across Australia is to attend the society wedding of her brother’s best friend. When Noah Fitzgerald is dramatically jilted, he needs a quick getaway—so Bree suggests he come with her! Spending her days with a billionaire is not what she was expecting… Not only is their spark of attraction completely new, but it has them both rethinking where they’re going in life!

 

Michelle Douglas is bringing on all the feels with BILLIONAIRE’S ROAD TRIP TO FOREVER and I simply couldn’t put it down! The storyline starts out fairly whimsically with a pair of friends setting out on a road trip, but both characters have a lot of mental anguish to work through and loads of chemistry pulling them towards each other. Great characters, emotionally eye-catching dialogue and such a satisfyingly sweet love story.

I liked Bree’s character throughout, but when I learned about her first childhood meeting with Noah, she became my very favorite. She is feisty and loyal and about to set out on a journey of love and the ultimate gesture of friendship.

Noah is a sweetheart. His childhood was anything but ideal, but meeting Bree at a young age and being taken under the wing of her entire family was a destiny he so deserved.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a friends to lovers storyline with lots of emotion and heart.
