Taylor
By Tracy Lorraine
5 stars

I have to be completely honest when I say I am not a fan of m/m stories at all but I love Tracy Lorraine and the Angel series so I thought if there is any author who can change my mind it will be this one  unfortunately she didn't BUT whilst I still am not a fan of m/m I cannot fault this story at all. It was beautifully written (which I have always come to expect from this author) the characters were well thought out and I loved both Taylor and Caleb  completely and utterly! I skipped over their intimate moments but the bond between them was beautiful. I loved the qualities that they each had, the struggles that they both went through and in the end the deep connection that they had. It also helped they were both as hot as anything!! If you are a m/m romance lover then there is absolutely no way you will not love this book it is just simply amazing  if you are not a fan I would still give it a go like I did  just skip over the bits you don't like but enjoy the story for what it is  a beautifully told romance story between two people who deeply care and love each other. This is actually one of my favourites in this series so far!
There is just something about this authors writing that just leaps off the page to me, her stories are always so beautifully written, they flow seamlessly and are an absolute pleasure to read. She is by far one of my favourite authors!
I have absolutely loved the Angel series and as always Tracy leaves us with a teaser of what is to come in the next book! I hope I don't have to wait too long!!

With all my heart I did not want this book to end, and cried when it did!
I fell in love with Jacques, I became Lorraine and I was swept away into the entanglement of their lives.
The twists, the turns, the love, and the way it all came together at the end, was more than I could have imagined.
The read for me was vivid as though on a big screen~ The imagination and reality were  one.
An excellent thrilling ride all the way~~

Oh boy, will you need your tissues for this wonderful book. Reading it in public (like I did) is not advised! This book is written quite uniquely from a triple POV and I really enjoyed this style. It allows each character to become real and for them to burrow their way into your heart. I'm not going to give away any spoilers except to say that this book has A twist I for one, didn't see coming. Well done to author Lorraine Britt for building the tension so exquisitely yet secretly so that the twists and turns along the way were surprising!! Katherine, Eli and William as individuals are brilliant characters but but their personalities together and you create perfection. Well done Lorraine, you now have me hooked on your writing and on especially on the Soldier Series! I easily award this book 5* ~Rosi

Another beautiful love story by Stacey Lynn! I loved Blue and Tyson's story in His To Love and Declan and Trina's story was just as beautiful. Having escaped from her abusive husband, Trina is headed north to Canada in hopes of starting over safe where her husband can't find her... Desperate to make the little bit of money she has last, she's caught dumpster diving outside the Fireside Grill where Declan, the restaurant owner finds her. Somehow knowing this woman needs help and clearly has something she is hiding from, he does his best to make her feel comfortable and offer her whatever she may need. Little did they know where this would lead... a second chance at real love for both of them. Finding that person that makes them both better, feeling safe and secure, someone to look forward to building a life and a future with.. along with loving friends and family. Fabulous writing, beautiful storyline, HIGHLY recommended book, series & author!!

D*mn you, Sawyer! I had to know how this story was going to end; I couldn't put it down and I lost precious sleep in order to see what was going to happen with Casey and Tenn.  Yet again you suck me in with your amazing writing and I couldn't get enough!

In Shaken, Not Stirred we finally get Casey Markhams story. We met the feisty and sassy sister of the Markham twins, Hunter & Brody, in the three previous Last Call books and I loved her. She is the queen on one-night stands and only dates men she cant get close to.
Enter Tenn. He is dangerous and show knew it from the beginning. Yes, he looks dangerous. Its why hes appealing to me so much. Hes like forbidden fruit. Hes like fire. Hes all the things I shouldnt touch but the temptation is too strong to ignore. Tenn is a frickin biker/cowboy! Come on, could you get any hotter?!? The two decide on one night together because the chemistry is undeniable. Just ---- me, Tenn, I moan as he slips his finger inside of me, curling it just right. One more, Goldie, he says, tilting his head to the side to suck on the skin of my inner thigh. Of course, one taste isn't enough; it leaves them both wanting more. Tenn takes his time breaking through Caseys walls and it was amazing to watch him break her boundaries.

We get to see a lot of the Last Call crew and get updated on all of the couples, Hunter & Gabby, Brody & Alyssa, and Savannah & Wyatt. We got to see Nix again too from Off Limits! It was fantastic!! I absolutely loved this book! It was sexy, emotional, and funny. Tenn was a perfect dirty talker. Going to eat you out----ing devour you actually, then Im going to ---- you hard. On top of that, he was a sweet talker and an amazing father.  He may be my favorite Last Call character yet! (5 stars)

Fifteen Weekends is a fantastic read!  I sat down to enjoy the highly anticipated debut novel by Christy Pastore and the next thing I knew, I was done!

I found myself thoroughly engrossed in the lives of Ashleigh, Emily and Amanda  Each womans story interconnected, yet all experiencing and dealing with their own internal wars {of fear, doubt, loss, self-worth, insecurity, passion, lust, etc.}.  And, lets not forget the HOT MEN in their lives who inspire all kinds of sexy emotions!

The fluidity with which Christy transitioned from one heroin to the next was fantastic and kept me engaged and intrigued as to what would happen next.  I connected with the leading ladies on several levels  each struggling with real-life happenstances for which us ladies muddle through each and every day.  I found myself rooting for each of them and their subsequent love interests; feeling a myriad of emotions along the way!

I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND Fifteen Weekends.  A MUST READ that you should added to your summer reading list.  Bravo Christy Pastore!

I was fortunate to have received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. WOW! What a fabulous read! This is the first book I have read by this talented author, but I can tell you it will certainly not be my last. After reading the first few paragraphs of this book, I was hooked. Tegan Carter was a wounded soul who was drowning in a dark state of depression. The mere thought of a man breaking past her emotional barriers and touching her heart seemed a complete impossibility. Alas, Talon enters into the picture along with his rambunctious little sister Zoey. Talon comes with his own inner demons. Is it possible for these two wounded souls to break down all the barriers and find a happily ever after? This book will grip at all of your emotions as this masterful storyteller keeps you mesmerized from the very first page until the last. In my opinion, this is a 5 Star read and recommended for anyone who believes that love will conquer all.

Love In Lingerie is a perfect mixing of humor, fun, romance, passion, and just the right amount of emotion and depth to the story. The interaction, banter and dialogues between the main characters are hilarious and entertaining.

I just love how their relationship slowly develops, which makes the story more believable and highly captivating. Their chemistry is scorching hot and off the charts!!

Just prepare yourself for a raw, wonderful, heartfelt and emotionally charged ride that is going to leave you breathless and wanting for more!!

This is my first C.M. Stunich books and wow will it definitely not be my last!

This wild, in your face rocking love story, is amazing. Naomi Knox and Turner Campbell are a sexy and completely out of control couple that despite the undeniable pull they have towards each other, fate has other plans.

This rock and roll journey, both Turner and Naomi are rockers on tour together, is all part of a mystery. Naomi's foster family has a myriad of secrets and there is a murder to solve with Naomi smack dab in the middle of it all. And Turner is determined to help her even though she fights him every step of the way.

I can't wait to dive into Book 2...this is a well written series that I am thrilled to have discovered!

Highly recommended!!

After reading Tracy Tappans Community Series I was a little afraid to start a new one thinking it wouldnt meet my expectations.  I was sooo wrong.  This has so much character development, humor, excitement and very well written hot and heavy scenes.  I love how the characters evolve before your eyes with each chapter (as it should be but often is not) and become full blown people you can love or hate.  Who doesnt love to read about a sexy, bad-ass DEA Agent female lead and a gorgeous, funny Naval Helicopter Pilot?  You will be missing out if you don't pick up this book.  The prequel, Eightball Two-Three is a great teaser and lead in to a book I couldn't put down.  Cover to cover in 48 hours.  I loved it and am looking forward to the next one in the series.  Keep up the great work Tracy!

I LOVED THIS BOOK!  (And boy, can Tracy write a hero!)

The story was so full of twists even from the very first chapter.  I thought I knew the direction it was going, (because I have read my fair share of vampire novels), but I was completely wrong.  That's what was so refreshing about this book.  Also, the mythology surrounding the vampires is unlike any that I have read before, which was also refreshing.

I also like how not just the main characters were featured in the story.  I learned about the lives of other minor characters who, hopefully, will get their own books in the series!  Each male was SO alpha, and yet so devoted to his woman, family and duty.  I also want to know what happens not only with the war itself, but with the singles who are still single at the end of the book!

Jacken is one of my all-time favorite heroes.  He is so dark and tortured, and yet it's clear that he has so much good in him that just needs a way to come to the surface.

I would absolutely keep reading this series.  Tracy is a very talented writer; not only is the book well-written in a technical sense, but she had me almost chomping at the bit to see what happened next!  I found myself limiting the number of pages I read to make the book last longer, but before I knew it, I was done!

I am eagerly awaiting the next installment, and I am now a HUGE Tracy-fan!!!

Sometimes you don't realize just what you need until you read it, experience, see it Just What I Needed by Lorelei James was just what I needed to pull me out of a bit of a funk. I loved Trinity and Walker from their first meet-cute at the bar, when Trinity lays a heart-pounding, lip lock on Walker before she even knows his name, right through to the end.

Trinity Carlson is having a god awful dayand it just gets worse when she lays eyes on her cheating ex and his new girlfriend. Walker Lund was just minding his own business, looking for a night out with his family, when he locks eyes with Trinity and all hell breaks loose.

Trinity and Walker are two very independent individuals, hell bent on forging their own way in the world. Walker is the only Lund whos not involved in the family businesshe started his own company, thank you very muchand is a very successful builder/rehabber. Trinity is an artistone whose talents are so broad, shes able to bridge her work across multiple mediumsoils, pen and ink, charcoal, clayto create beautiful art.

Walker and Trinity just get each otherboth understand that their work is their life, their craft, and that they can get a bit lost in it. And they both understand the loneliness and solitude that their craft can bring too.

I found myself rooting for Trinity and Walker so hard. I loved their witty banterhow she gave it right back to him, just as good as he gave it to her. I loved her navet regarding his familyand the hilarity that ensued when she met the Lund collective for the first time!

And I loved Walker and his interactions with his parents, siblings and cousins. Their family dynamic is so powerfulI found myself laughing, angry, and crying all within a few pages. I cant wait for the next book in this series. ~ Missy, 4.5 stars

His to Love, written by Stacey Lynn, is the first book in the Fireside series. To sum it up in one word...AMAZING! This book had my attention throughout, and I could't wait to see how the story played out. Needless to say, I was not at all disappointed!

The book begins with meeting Agent Tyson Blackwell in the prologue. He is in a meeting with the Underground Crime Protection Unit, and has just been assigned a case that brings the memories of his past flooding back in an instant. He has just seen a picture of his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Gabriella 'Blue' Galecki. He thought that their relationship would stand the test of time, but she just disappeared one day without any explanations ten years ago. Tyson hasn't seen or heard from her since that day, but it is definitely her looking back at him from the pictures laying on the desk. He has just been told he has to reconnect with her in order to help with the case he has just been assigned, but he knows that will be easier said than done. This case is more than just reconnecting with Blue and investigating her family...Tyson also has a personal stake in seeing this family brought to justice.

Gabriella 'Blue' Galecki is not just an ordinary woman. She just happens to be the daughter of a Mafia boss, and is returning home to Detroit. While locating her seat on her flight, she accidentally bumps into the man standing in front of her...Tyson Blackwell. She can't believe that after ten years, here he is, standing right next to her. Memories of the past quickly return, but she immediately gets quiet when he asks her why she left all those years ago. That's when the memories of his betrayal came flooding back. What Tyson doesn't know is that the last night she saw him, her father informed her that Tyson was forced by his father, a detective with the Detroit PD, to date her in an attempt to gain evidence for a case he was working on. After being told that Tyson was using her, Blue's father put her on a plane to Colorado. That was the last time she saw Tyson, until now.

As the story unfolds, the truth about the past is revealed. We learn why Tyson is personally vested in taking down the Galecki family, and we also learn why Blue is returning home after ten years. The relationship they once shared is rekindled, but at a cost neither of them expected. This story is well written, with complex characters, and a captivating plot. I couldn't read this book fast enough. The author does an amazing job in bringing this story to life, while at the same time, giving you characters you truly feel for. There is a lot of emotion involved when betrayal once again comes knocking on the door to their relationship. Overall, this was just a brilliantly written, perfectly paced story. I would strongly recommend reading this book, and I look forward to the next book in the series.

I was given an advance digital copy of this book from Random House Publishing Group-Loveswept, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

If The Sapphire Affair was a movie, Clay and Julia Nichols would be first in line for tickets!

This book has a little bit of everything- mystery, suspense, intrigue, romance, sexiness, another swoon-worthy Blakely hero and a feisty, relatable heroine. If you're looking for a summertime escape from your typical drama and angst-filled romances Id highly recommend picking this one up!

Jake is an utterly irresistible characteron top of being completely sexy, hes downright funny, hes thoughtful and caring, and did I mention sexy? One of my favorite things about him is his love for his family- I just adored how much he cared for them. Even though they were only on the periphery of this story you could feel the love from his interactions with them. Steph is such a spunky and lively character, shes adventurous and not afraid to say whats on her mind. The banter between these 2 was so engaging and their chemistry was off the charts.

The Sapphire Affair is a fun, light-hearted, wholly entertaining read. The action and adventure, the romance, the suspense were left with at the endit all made for such fantastic story. Im so glad I have part 2 waiting on my NetGalley shelf!

NO SPOILERS!

Hit the Spot was a sexy, swoon-worthy, and incredibly entertaining standalone contemporary romance, and definitely a TOP FAVORITE read of 2017! The storyline and characters were absolutely amazing, and I truly loved J. Daniels' writing style. The author completely exceeded my expectations and then some, and I honestly loved reading every single word of Jamie and Tori's story from beginning to end.

 Jamie and Tori were phenomenal characters and I loved them and their story with all of my heart. I loved their personalities and chemistry together, and how their relationship progressed throughout. I loved reading the book from both Jamie and Tori's POV, and I immensely enjoyed all of their banter and interactions with each other. If you're a fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope, you'll definitely enjoy Hit the Spot. The secondary characters were amazing as well, and I enjoyed getting to see a few familiar characters from Four Letter Word. Hit the Spot was absolutely amazing from start to finish, and I couldn't have been more ecstatic with the conclusion to Jamie and Tori's story. It was perfect for them and made me very happy.

 Hit the Spot was another home run from the extremely talented J. Daniels, and definitely one of my TOP FAVORITE reads of the year! It was an incredibly sexy, swoon-worthy, and entertaining standalone contemporary romance, and I couldn't have loved it more if I tried. J. Daniels did a phenomenal job with this book, and I was truly happy with the outcome to Jamie and Tori's story. I am fairly new to J. Daniels' books, Hit the Spot was only my second, but I honestly can't sing enough praises for her writing and the addicting storylines and characters she creates. She is certainly one of my new top favorite contemporary romance authors, and I am so freaking excited to read more of her amazing books, especially Bad for You, the next standalone in the Dirty Deeds series!

First book by this author and I'm in love! Fabulous writing, storyline that had me hooked from page and characters that I couldn't help but love. I could totally relate to Alison and Rusty was sweet as can be. Not your typical rocker, he isn't out of control with the flaunting of the women, and has the kindest heart. I loved watching these two move from friends to more and watching Alison come out of her shell gave me my own bit of strength to draw from. Beautiful story and can't wait to read the rest of the book in the series!! Highly recommended read!!
