I loved how this book pulls you in to the love triangle.  It makes it so your routing for both in different ways.  How will she decide?  Who will win in the end?

This was a wonderful story, I fell in love with Theo and Elliot right from the start. Watching them navigate the stages of love was like watching a butterfly transformation. It was supposed to be one night, orchestrated by a mutual friend, but oh boy, did they get so much more  This is a real feel good story with just enough angst to keep it from being too sappy.
This is my first time reading this author and I have to say I'm hooked. I look forward to reading more of his work.
I received an ARC for giving an honest review.  If you want a great pick me up grab the book.

Being Sawyer Knight is a book I thoroughly enjoyed. Sawyer Bennett is the lead singer and guitarist of the internationally renowned Souls of the Knight. He is living a life most people only dream of, yet he is unfulfilled. The author did a wonderful job at painting Sawyer in this light without making him seem ungrateful.

Ms. Haken manages to create such a wide range of emotions, there were times my heart broke for Sawyer, there were times I was frustrated with Sawyer, there was one time I wanted to throttle Sawyer but in the end I mostly wanted to hug him and tell him it is OK to love Jake.  Oh Jake, I adored Jake.

From the moment this book opened I was drawn to Jake.

Being Sawyer Knight is told in both POV's. One man, who is so deep in the closet he is hiding from himself and the other is open about his sexuality and who he is.  I truly appreciated hearing both sides so to speak.

This book not only builds two characters but also a cast around them. One that allows the reader to feel transported into Sawyers world.  Well not just Sawyers world because I think one of my favorite scenes may be those with Jakes family.  These parents truly warmed my heart and had me wishing all parents would embrace who their children are.

Sawyers bandmates were also well done, each crafted with their own personality and place in the band.  Isaac Rip was so well done, he not only added to the story but Sawyers hiding wove right into Rips happy in a way that I think many readers will end (I know I enjoyed this twist).

The end of this book had my heart racing; the way in which these two are outed worked so well. Because sadly the old adage is still true, sometimes you don't know what you want until you almost lose it.

The resolution this book comes to not just for Sawyer but for the his bandmates as well felt true to the story. I loved that these were adults with careers and goals but that time did not stand still and sometimes to move forward in life, change is part of that.  It is not about giving something up for love but about moving forward.

I am very much looking forward to reading more from Ms. Haken, I am anxiously awaiting Taming Ryder, book 2 in this series, a book written about a secondary character that truly peeked my interest.

Tied Together by author ZB Heller is a truly beautiful book. These two characters really do come full circle to find real and lasting love. Ryan is the overly confident, happy go lucky jock in high school. Brandon is the geeky, shy, and abused boy from the trailer park. They become the most unlikely of friends. Ryan came out to his family and was accepted right away. Brandon has always had to hide he was gay. This causes friction when Ryan and Brandon get together finally when they are in college. Ryan has a lot of growing up to do. Brandon has to learn how to function for the first time without Ryan. He does and when they come together again they just might both be ready for each other.
I loved how they grew together as friends and lovers. Brandon is an amazing character of depth and kindness. Ryan is the fun loving, but kind one. Together they are what the other needs.
I love the humor and romance in this book. There is a great blend of both, and I liked how each character got to tell the story from their point of view. Let me really sink into their psyche and feel what they felt.
When you want a story of true love and growing up together this is the book to pick up. I am so very glad I did.

This book charmed me from beginning to end, its such a romantic love story that it almost reads like a fairy tale.  Its pretty hard for me not to make a bad pun about the treasure hunter with the heart of gold, but Sawyer really is the embodiment of a genuinely good person who finds more than hes looking for in Jack.  I loved the tight knit bond he has with his sisters, their good natured ribbing left me snickering, but its the connection between Sawyer and Jack that truly swept me away.  I loved the way Jack seemed to blossom as his feelings for Sawyer grew deeper, with his creativity resurfacing and hope that hell build a better life gradually being restored.  These two men are a beautiful complement to each other, and the chemistry between them sparks from the first moment they notice each other, only to escalate to combustible levels as they get closer.  I also really liked the calm way Sawyer came to terms with his attraction to Jack and how he could fit into the life Sawyer had been building for himself, but more than that, I liked that Sawyer recognized what he was searching for wasn't going to be hiding in the depths of the gulf.
Please note that I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book.

Love the way she writes.  The Scenes really pull you in.  The love story is even better.  There were moments that made me want to cry and others I laughed.  I can't wait to start the next book :)

The prologue will gut you.  Their initial reunion will surprise you.  Their story will sadden you.  Their passion will inflame you.  Roman and Leo's journey will consume you and you'll love it just as much as you'll love them.

I'm not kidding when I say that the prologue will gut you.  I literally had to put my kindle down for a minute to catch my breath before continuing.

I both loved and hated Roman and Leo's time together as kids.  Their love was sweet and passionate but was marred by the threat of discovery.  When they meet up again twelve years later, the spark is still there but there are a lot of issues to be overcome on both sides before they can truly be together.

Riley Hart does a beautiful job telling this story.  She pulls every bit of emotion out of you and makes your heart hurt for these boys who were dealt a crappy hand in life but found love in each other.

I love it when a book draws you in from the very beginning making you want to drop everything so you can focus solely on the story. This was the case for Finding Emma.

From the start, the author made sure that the reader had a chance to connect with Emma. I loved that I got to experience her thoughts and emotions first-hand since it allowed me to get to know her fears, her doubts and the things she wanted but didn't allowed herself to have.

Of course, it helped tremendously that she was paired with Finn. He was charming, funny and provided Emma with the acceptance and comfort she needed in her life. I enjoyed their interactions and the way the author went about developing that initial connection into something more. Some flirty banter, some honest exchanges and even some shared silences, helped to strengthen the bond between them.

Although a romance, Finding Emma deals with so much more. From cyber-bullying to family relations, K Ryan did a fantastic job in bringing all the elements together so that they flowed seamlessly on the page. This my first book by this author, but Im certain it won't be the last. All in all, the characters were interesting, their connection real and the overall conflict was engaging and its resolution well thought out.

A sweet, charming, funny and romantic story that will tug at your heart!  Having lost my mom, I can understand why Ana would have just up and left the way she did back in college.  I was a little disappointed in Blake when he didn't catch on to what Ana was saying at first, but he slowly redeemed himself by not only winning over Ana, but those closest to her.  Not only is Tangling with the CEO a romantic story, its also about making tough decisions and following your heart.  Sometimes it's the unexpected path that leads to true happiness.  If you're looking for a heart-warming read to curl up with for the weekend, the I recommend you pick up Tangling with the CEO.

I started reading this book and I couldn't put it down. I loved they way Paige and Alex find so much love for each other. You can almost feel the love as you read it. I don't know if I could have done what she did. Such a hard decision to make as to who to stay with. It's a good thing my work load was low tonight because I was able to finish this book, like I said I couldn't put it down. You've got to read this.

OK people grab your tissues please; I just got finished with reading Jasinda Wilder's book "Falling Into Us". If your guys were a fan of her book "Falling Into You" you will be a fan of this book also, this time around we follow the journey of Nell & Kyle's best friends Becca & Jason. There were so many emotions put into this that I found myself crying more than once. This love story took us on an emotional rollercoaster ride & I liked every minute of it. The story line was very captivating that you will find yourself not wanting to put the book down for one minute. Becca & Jason's relationship was one that most individual could related to, their love alone made them survive some very heart stopping tragedy that occur in their lives. There were happy times & there were sad times, combine the two & you have a spectacular book. I also love the way Jasinda intertwined the Nell's story in this book & made us, the readers, get a view of what we were missing from "Falling Into You." Another five star book folks, very well written, I loved every minute of this book.

He Loves Me Knot is a fantastic second chance romance and I absolutely loved this book. Ill be honest I wasn't sure what this was going to be about having not read the blurb and at first I originally thought that the story was going to be about Becket and Emma.

Turns out that is not what it is about at all but I will say I loved the friendship that we get out of Becket and Emma.

Emma is what one would call the runaway bride and of course I immediately want to know what happened and why she ran away.

Fast forward from that horrible day and her Ex Knox resented her life again. You could almost feel the tension in the air and I could only imagine how awkward this would be. Of course at first Im not a fan of Knox but really its because I so far have my own assumptions of whats happened.

As the story moves along however and more is revealed I found myself hoping that the the truth(s) would come out as to what actually happened.

In the meantime RC Boldt has me hooked on these two, their interaction with one another at times tense and clearly jaded but I could feel the emotions still warring within both Knox and Emma. Let me tell you my heart was pounding and I found myself giddy with excitement. The heart stopping feels when your face to face with possibly the one that holds your heart.

This story just completely warmed my heart and even though there amidst the angst, the heartache, the longing there is hope and that all encompassing love that just never goes away.

An absolute easy five star read that just melted me internally. I would without hesitation recommend this to anyone that loves a good romance. And I absolutely cant wait for the next book.
