Great story I was thrilled with the storyline and then even more thrilled that when that piece ended we still had a big chunk of the story to devote to yummy Wyatt and his journey with Andrea !! I have read a few Sawyer Bennett books but I had not read any in this series. This can be read as a stand alone and I had no issues reading it and knowing who was who. I will definitely be reading the other books and I am a fan of this author. I read the book in about 4 hours !! I was hooked right from the start. I love the undercover stories and of course it is awesome to read about scummy guys being taken down for sex slavery !!

When the book starts Wyatt is leaving his friends and family to head undercover for an unknown amount of time. He will be playing the role of a sleazy strip club manager quickly working his way up the ranks in the hopes to get in the inner circle of the sex slave traffic ring his "boss" is running. Obviously he hates what he has to do on a daily basis but he is passionate about his job and ending this. He attempts to lookout for the dancers as much as he can and also get in good with the bad guys. As the pieces are slowly coming together the FBI decides to put another undercover on the case and she will be posing as a dancer at the strip club. Wyatt-Raze is in the inner circle by now so he gets to handle Andrea , Nikki O's , hiring. Their cover is going great and though there may be a few bumps in the road things move along nicely. I loved the inner working of the sting , it was awesome to read about their plans and see how they both handled this lifestyle they were pretending to live. Wyatt and Andrea cannot deny there is some kind of spark there but this is not the time or place to make a move on that. They are there for a reason and that is all that matters. As the day draws near for Nikki O to be sold Raze ends up in a tricky situation with Nikki and let's just say it was a great scene !! Simon's office may have been a dirty dirty place but for that one scene it was my most favorite place in the world !! Of course until the locker room after the sting !! What happens now that their job is over ?? Is there something more there or did the strip club scene get the best of them ??

Wyatt and Andrea are both back at home , far away from each other but the memory is agonizing and the desire is still there. Which one of them will have the balls to make the first move ?? This part of the story was great. The chemistry is phenomenal and the sex scenes are super hot. I love the open and honest feelings they share. I enjoyed getting to meet Wyatt's friends since I have yet to read them !! They seem like a great group and I am curious about them , looking forward to hearing their stories. It was so nice to go from the suspense and danger of the strip club sting to the exciting new journey of love. Both Wyatt and Andrea know what they want and they will make sure they have it. In the end we get our HEA and I adored the ending and the epilogue. This book has many things all wrapped into one and I would recommend it to many !!

The 5 volumes in one book was fantastic. You went from one to the other and didn't have to wait for the next book. Cade and Bree were amazing. This story was so good. The sex was HOT!!!! Cade was HOT!!!!! Bree was longing for love and found what she wanted in Cade, but Cade didn't know what love was. These books are totally amazing and I would recommend them to anyone who wants to read a really great love story that is also very steamy!!!!!!!

Ok, so I'm sure I've said over and over again (enough to irritate anyone who listens) that I am a HUGE fan of Mystery.  I've seen every Columbo episode/movie there is.  Same with Murder, She Wrote.  I love Sherlock Holmes ANYTHING.  I am 20 episodes away from finishing the entire series of the original Hawaii Five-O.  Agatha Christie is one of my all-time favorite actors - so, yes, I not only know who Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple are, but I love them love them love them.  Midsomer Murder - amazing show!!  I've been told that certain aspects of my personality are very, um, Adrian Monk.  Nero Wolfe - great mix of culinary and mystery.  I could go on, but then I would forget why I'm here in the first place...

My point of all that is - that's what made me pick up the book.  Adam, you had me at "Columbo."

This is an awesome self-help book.  I love that he explains who the different investigators (for lack of a better word) are for those who have no clue - and the things that he learned from each one of these guys makes so much sense.  Then, when we get to the end, the "conclusion," he sums it all up beautifully.

Fun little book that you can learn a lot from.

Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Loved this episode. It was....what's the word I used? Oh yeah...AWESOME!!!

Best episode in the series. One of the best in episodic television, period.

The songs moved you, meant something (the lyrics were substantive, emotion-filled, were in-synch with both the characters and what the characters were going through at the time...and rhymed to boot!) and were well paced, crafted and executed. The actors really put their all into it and did an EXCELLENT job. From giles and amber benson's great vocal performances to Sarah M.G.'s dancing at the end. It was just...great. Vocally- Amber Benson stole the show...too bad mr. whedon repaid her by killing off her character a few episodes later!!!!!!!(thank you joss...NOT!!!) Giles can REALLY sing as well..I mean..he puts it down. Everyone does a great job and j.w. really put in work with his lyric authorship.

BTVS pulled off quite a coup with this one!

Where to start? OH MY GOSH DO I LOVE THIS BOOK, THIS ENTIRE SERIES & THIS RELATIVELY NEW INDIE AUTHOR!! Anyone who likes Zombie Fiction this series is a MUST READ-Same for anyone who likes anything Apocalyptic, this book doesn't even need the Zombies to ROCK!! I actually ordered pizza for my kids because I simply could not put the book(s) down the 30+ minutes it would take to cook dinner!(and I'm an anal mom who makes my kids eat healthy & organic!) The many various scenes and plots about the survivors & the various groups, militias, gangs, etc. had me gripping my eReader! A "white knuckle" read, each and every book in the series. There is so much going on from so many angles, yet, it all ties in flawlessly. The suspense is off the chart! WOW! This series would make the BEST TV Series or even movie series (I'd prefer a TV Series so I could watch it every week)...it would give The Walking Dead a HUGE RUN FOR IT'S MONEY!! NO DOUBT!! I actually had nightmares about a few of his sinister characters/plots/scenes.  As a voracious reader, this rarely happens to me-so when it does, it's because the book/scene/character was so gripping, good and intense! I cannot say enough about this author and his books! PLEASE WRITE MANY, MANY MORE IN THIS SERIES SHAWN!! And, anyone in the TV/Movie Industry--pick up a copy of each book...BUY THE RIGHTS!!! If I could give him a 10 star review I would ..for EACH book! So do yourself a favor, buy, rent or borrow this series.....you won't be sorry!

Bella Andre has such a fantastic job of making each book fit in with this series, but different enough that they get their own love stories! I fall in love with each main couple, but I find myself enjoying the interaction of all of the characters a very substantial part of this storyline. Great characters. Great passion. Amazing how she uses real life situations to help the ones that read them if they are going through a similar situation. I love This book and I am looking forward to the next one!!!

Abel was the perfect example of why I'm an Elizabeth Reyes fan! She creates characters that I've fallen in love with and stories that I can relate to. In this book, Abel and Nellie's chemistry was off the charts hot and I loved watching them finally give in to their attraction to each other. But, I also loved their journey getting there. I can say without a doubt that this was my favorite book in the series!

I usually start with the guy, especially when I have a strong attachment to the character, but Nellie is pretty awesome. She's had to deal with a cheating husband and betrayal by her own sister, but in the end Nellie came out stronger. She's resilient. After dealing with her messy divorce, she's looking to have a little fun. This is where Abel comes in. They can't fight their attraction anymore, so they strike a deal to begin a no-strings attached relationship. The thing is, I think there was more to their relationship even before it started.

I love each 5th Street guy for different reasons, but Abel is my very favorite. He's sexy, dedicated to his family and his career, and for a tough guy...pretty darn romantic. He is the kind of Alpha male I typically fall for. One of things I loved the most about Abel is that he's becoming this celebrity, but he's still very real. Even though he was training hard for his fight, she was still the top priority. He never expected to fall for Nellie as hard as he did, but as I said before, I think he had feelings for her long before they got involved. They became a great couple and definitely my favorite of the group.

Overall, I loved this book and was sad when I finished. It was sexy, romantic, dramatic, and everything I had hoped to get from Abel and Nellie's story. I also loved seeing all the characters again. This is a special group of people. I'm still holding out hope that Felix will get his own story and that we'll get to see this group again. If you're looking for a great NA series to start, check this one out. Hot guys, steam, and true love...what more could you ask for?

~"It's true," he smiled, "not just in love, Nell, but hopeless, there's-no-helping-this-guy kind of in love with you."-pg 190

Just by reading the first few chapters of Exposed I knew that Cain had to definitely be added to my Book Boyfriends. Hello my name is Diana and I am obsessed with Sapphire Knight books. :)
Where to even begin with this book, I mean Jesus can this be anymore hotter!?!?!...Thanks for that by the way Sapphire :).  I have never read a book that combines 2 different kind of ..I guess you can say type of bad boys. To have Mafia and Bikers in one book was brilliant!!!...We get more Bang for our buck!..lol. I mean I can seriously continue on and on about the book, but in all seriousness the book was fantastically written.  The story really is about London, Cain, and Cameron. London a girl with a personality that's sassy and grabbing the bull by the horns kind of girl.!!..Love that kind of girl ready to go against the world if she has to. Cain a loving Alpha and loyal to the very end for the people he cares for. My kind of Book Boyfriend by the way. And of course sucky Cameron, yes!..my decision has been made for Cameron. He is in my S!#@t List. And between these 3 wonderful characters a secrets that ties them all together. The story is so well written and literally has you gasping as your reading. Such a great page turner, read straight through the night. I prefer never to give out to much about the book just so the readers can be able to enjoy the book to the fullest. Big plus is that we get the POV of all 3 characters. I mean come on, it cannot get any better than that. All the different perspectives give you a better understanding with all the characters and their story. This book can be read as a stand alone, but would be better enjoyed reading the other books from the series. Go with the second choice!..lol. Get to know all of the other great characters from every book, so you can see how wonderful this series really is.......Happy reading Kiddos!!!

Owen McKenna is just the kind of man you would like to have on your side...kind,ethical,patient,funny. This particular book in the series offers lots to learn, a usual quality in Borg's work. Plus, TAHOE CHASE uses the environment of Lake Tahoe area as an important element as the story progresses. And I loved the symmetry in the structure...everything fit together by the end of the story. Great Dane Spot is one of the best  characters in the series! I can hardly wait to see what is next.

Addison and Wyatt's story continues in Pursued By Him.  This book is about Sophie waking up.  Addison getting her vacation cut short by her boss and Wyatt realizing he has feeling for Addison.  Trying to connect again without phone numbers.

Addison needs to let go of the past and come clean to Wyatt.  Her self doubt is so sad, she is so much more than what she think she has to offer Wyatt and Sophie.

Wyatt isn't quiet about the way he is feeling about Addison.  His brother Austin says it perfectly "She doesn't need you."  I think Wyatt needs a woman that can stand on her own, but will let him in to be the alpha when he needs/wants to.

I can't wait to find out what happens next!  I am off to read the next book!!

I love this book. I love how the whole family is in it so we don't miss what is progressing in the previous characters lives, I love Mallory and Graham. He has so many layers and I feel there is more to him still. Adriana is a fantastic writer. I love everything about this book and series!!!!!

I like Brian Keith in anything. He is so laid back and natural in his performances, much like Brando and Dean were.

When I grow up I want to be Izzy Gallo!!!! There isn't a single thing that I didn't absolutely love about her. I can't imagine growing up in a house with 4 dominant older brothers but that made Izzy the spitfire that she is today. Izzy is headstrong, smart-mouthed, and sassier than most women put together. I love that about her. She needs a strong man to match her personality. Izzy is under the delusion that a strong man will try to control her and change her. She is worried that she will lose herself. She couldn't be further from the truth. Introduce James into her life and BAM, sexy hotness begins. James is a smug, cocky bastard that likes things his way. He loves the fight that Izzy gives me on a daily basis. James has set his sights on her and won't settle for anything less.
I won't give spoilers away but this is an absolute page turner....from the explosive sessions between Izzy and James, to the MC gang, to the very end. I love the sexual tension between Izzy and James. Watching Izzy try to fight it is rather amusing to say the very least.
I want to be adopted by the Gallo family!!!

Once again Chelle Bliss has done an amazing job. So far, Izzy is my favorite character. Don't get me wrong...I love the sexy City and the tough Michael but Izzy just has this charisma that's undeniable. I imagine that Izzy doesn't fall very far from the descriptive tree of the super sassy, adorable, foul-mouthed Chelle Bliss. Character and writer in one. I adore me some Chelle Bliss!!!!!

I just knew Tysons story was going to be amazing!!! I'm so glad this mans heart was out back together and we got the bonus of Lynne being just as amazing. I'm so glad he unraveled her life and have himself and her true happiness.

Lately Ive been addicted to watching that show on the Food Network, Chopped. Now I know you're thinking But this is a book review!  Yes it is but just go with me for a minute. If you're not familiar with Chopped, its a show that tests 3 chefs to their culinary limits and beyond. They give the chefs these extraordinary and abstract ingredients and say Here! Make the most deliciously salivating meal youve ever made. And do it under 30 minutes.

For me, Tessa Bailey always manages to take the most extraordinary and abstract ingredients and creates the most deliciously captivating story from them. She is the master chef of all things erotically intoxicating!!

Up In Smoke was just a testament to the master chef, aka Tessa Bailey, at work!! If you follow her novels, there were appearances from some past character greats (ie- Derek- the master dirty talker). But if you don't follow her novels (Im not sure why but you may want to start!) it can also be read as a standalone.

Right from the beginning the magnetism between the main characters, Connor and Erin, was crazy awesome. I almost, and I stress almost, thought that there was no possible way that this could last throughout the entire story. Boy, oh boy, was I wrong!!!  Never doubt Ms. Baileys expertise to keep the story hot, suspenseful and fast paced.

I love, love, love reading anything Tessa Bailey. Looking forward to the next succulent meal cooked up by Ms. Bailey.

Happy Reading!!!
