4,5 stars! I love this series. All characters are to fall in love with! Great story, damaged hero, smooth-tongued and funny heroine. What's not to love? Probably just the wait for the next book!

About the plot: It started with a flight from hell. Sophie Darling is flying to London for a job interview with a small amount of information for who she will be working. She is a photographer and works in social media. When she gets upgraded to first class, couldn't believe her luck. Until the moment she has to sit next to incredibly handsome and not so happy with the company suit wearing snob.

Gabriel Scott is a manager of the biggest rock band on the world, Kill John and he hates to fly. When the seat next to him instead of being empty is occupied he is ready to explode. But the long flight gets more and more interesting when annoying woman works as a great entertainment and distraction. Who would have thought that this is just the beginning.

My thoughts: When everyone has been waiting for a book about another member of the band, Kristen Callihan gave us a book about their manager. And guess what? It was a hit!

First of all the characters. Separately and together, totally amazing. Sophie is smart, sweet but also so goofy. Her inner monologues and banter with Scottie are highly entertaining and funny to tears. Gabriel Scott is a man of control, a professional, ambitious and keeps everybody at a distance. He also frequently deny himself what he wants. But under that whole crust is loving and devoted man.

Sophie and Gabriel are making very small steps to be together, you will have to be patient. But everything is wonderfully built and developed. They have a lot interactions and slowly burn with sexual tension. The waiting for the final shot will wore you out, but they are so good together, you will not regret it. You get caught in their story from the first pages to the last.

It was also good to be part of the band again and get to know even closer members of Kill John. You can be sure that you will find out what's new with Libby and Killian and the whole gang. They all enrich the story and I can't wait to read more books about them.

My favorite thing is as Gabriel said to Sophie, Darling. She doesn't know whether he uses it as her name or endearment, but you feel it immediately. This is adorable and sensational idea. And of course Sunshine, but that you'll have to read yourself. What I highly recommend.

  Ive never met a person I couldn't manage.
  Sophie Elizabeth Darling.

4.5 stars! Another great one from Rachel Van Dyken. I had read Ruin by Rachel and really loved it so I was anxious to try another. The Bet is very different than Ruin but equally as enjoyable. This book had me laughing! Grandma, what more do I need to say. She made this story.
This was a multiple POV story, with Kacey, Jake and Travis. I have to admit there were times I was pulling for the wrong brother, but in the end the right one won. Kacey has been best friends with Jake since they were kids and Travis was always the thorn in her side. After a falling out with Jake, Kacey had not seen them in a long time. Now Jake is asking her to pretend to be his pretend fianc for the weekend to make him look better for the board of his family company. What Kacey didn't expect was for her long time nemesis, Travis, to be there looking perfect.
This story has adults acting like children, sticking tongues out and throwing eggs at each other. This is a fun read to put a smile on your face.

I love this story. It's so honest and real. I laughed out loud, rooted for the characters and enjoyed the steamy scenes. Another great installment.

Lauren Layne never disappoints! Blurred Lines is yet another of her hangover-inducing stories filled with lots of witty banter and scorching sexual chemistry. The friends-to-lovers plot hooked me from the very first page, and from there it was completely un-put-down-able!

A little background info: Parker and Ben met at the beginning of their freshman year of college, and contrary to the popular belief that guys and girls could never be "just friends", they managed to remain completely platonic roommates for six years. Parker is in a long term relationship and Ben is a man-whore who never sleeps with the same woman twice. Even though they are total opposites, they get along great and unquestionably support each other.

All is well until Parker's long term boyfriend abruptly breaks up with her and she decides she is going to use her new freedom to experience earth-shattering, great sex with lots of random guys. However, after several attempts at picking up strangers, she realizes that she is just not the casual sex type, so she proposes a "friends with benefits" scenario to a reluctant Ben and that is when things get REALLY GOOD!

Determined not to ruin their friendship, they devise a list of rules and agree that if either of them ever wants to date other people, they only need to say so and things will go back to the way they were before. For awhile their new arrangement seems to be working great for both of them, but then things get complicated....

And that is where my description of this story ends because I don't want to give anything away, but rest assured that the journey to finding out what they truly mean to each other is filled with LOTS of laughter and tears along the way.

I absolutely hung on every single word of this story. It was just so realistic and heart-felt, that I couldn't help but think of Parker and Ben as real people. When you find your heart breaking just a little for fictional characters, you know the author has done a great job!

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves a steamy story filled with tons of humor and emotion.

4.5 stars. While this is a continuation of the "Kinnections" matchmaking agency stories, it works well as a standalone.

I received a free ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Rocket scientist, er, aerospace engineer, Ned, comes to a speed-dating mixer sponsored by Kinnections. Geek chic he is not, and though he has recently decided he needs to find a potential wife, and studied hard in all the popular women's magazines, from Cosmo to Marie Claire, his efforts here are a hilarious disaster.

After giving him a talkin'-to, Kennedy realizes there's sincerity and potential under that bad orange spray tan, and decides to play Professor Higgins to his Eliza. Ned, renamed Nate, goes through a number of painful and humiliating procedures - not without protest, but also in part, because he was attracted to Kennedy from the first, and this permits him to spend time in her company.

Kennedy fights her inclination to pair off with Nate for a number of reasons - he's a client, and besides, she doesn't DO long-term. But their eventual coming together... well, there's LOTS of coming, together and separately, and it's very, very hot.

Very enjoyable read, a couple you can root for, with friends and family leaving just enough hints of other stories to follow.

Emma Hart was one of the first authors I discovered when I got "back" into reading. I have read almost every single one of her books and I love them all.

Mixed Up fell into the "I LOVE IT" category.

This book was fun, sarcastic, and a really easy and quick read. I loved the characters, the setting, their drama.

I would have given this book five stars, but I feel like I keep reading this story over and over. Two people who hate each other fall into lust, fall into love. I liked the different ways that Emma handled it and appreciated her take.

With that said, Emma continues to write some of the BEST banter I have ever read. Ever. Her dialogue between characters is second to none. The steam was super steamy and the situations were hilarious.

Just another fantastic story from Emma Hart!

I don't give 5*****'s readily. But this book was incredible. Drew and Anna's story was extremely well written and emotional and funny!!!  I love this series. Kudos to you Kristen Callihan.

Interesting, funny, intriguing, and super hot and steamy story! I love Alaskan stories for many reasons. I've always wanted to go to Alaska, there's a kaleidoscope of different types of people, it's wild and untamed, the wildlife, wide open space..... there's really just too many to name them all. This story manages to cover quite a majority of the things I love, especially the crazy, wacky, and fun people. Helly is really great. A contradicting, self-reliant (for the most part), take charge but no prisoners kind of gal that I love. Gary is so mysterious, sexy, confident, and intriguing there's no wonder she can't keep her hands off of him, even if he is a loud, obnoxious, arrogant devil - or maybe because of that! Love the brothers and can't wait to read their stories especially J.D. (he's my favorite!

Kate Meader never disappoints with her hot and fun contemporary romances! One Week to Score is really the perfect steamy, summer read  its got fun characters, a scorching hot chemistry, and an amazing enemies-to-lovers romance you cant get enough of. Its quick, light-hearted, and did I mention sexy? So yeah, if you're in the mood for something to escape to for a little while, this book would be it.

Olivia Kane used to have a huge crush her brothers best friend, Flynn Cross, and they were good friends until Flynn up and dumped her and never talked to her again. Years later, Olivias about to walk down the aisle to another man  except it turns out her fianc is a lying cheat. Humiliated and angry on her wedding day, Olivia flies out to her honeymoon with the plan to sleep her way out of her misery. Any gorgeous man will do but what happens when her former crush and friend, who she now hates, shows up?

Flynn has always known hes never been good enough for Olivia. She was the only woman he ever cared about, but he chose to stay away from her when they were younger. Now, things are different, and Flynns not about to let Olivia have a fling with a random stranger when hes there and perfectly willing to let her use him to her hearts content. But this is Olivia, and despite all the years apart, Flynn finds himself falling fast and hard for her all over again. What happens when the seven-day honeymoon is over and they have to return back to reality?

I had SO much fun reading One Week to Score. It was entertaining from start to finish  I LOVE enemies-to-lovers romances, and this was one I didn't want to put down. Both main characters were well-written and the tension and banter between Flynn and Olivia really had me going. I almost wish the book were longer, because the story went by so fast! If you're a fan of the author, or the older brothers best friend/enemies-to-lovers tropes, then I highly recommend giving One Week to Score a try!

I admit, I am a sucker for the fake bride then the couple falls in love type of stories and Misadventures of a Backup Bride is a great addition to this trope. This is a quick, fun, witty, steamy romance. Carson and Ella had an insta-connection when they first met so who else would Carson consider asking? But, when the fun and flirty begins to feel more real than fake, will they be able to stay with the original plan?

This is a quick, fun, witty, steamy romance with some crazy twists that keep you flipping the pages until the very end.

Shake It Up is the 8th book in Ms. Kenner's steamy Man of the Month series, which involves a different couple for each book following a bar trying to get back on its feet by hosting a contest for a Man of the Month calendar.  I've loved following each of these stories, and Shake it Up definitely fit right in, and added a bit of suspense as well, which I'm all about! Taylor and Landon steam up the sheets with their chemistry, all while Landon is trying to protect her from a stalker.  I loved how they fit together, I loved the storyline, and I can't wait for more!

Funny and sexy comedic story. So fun to read. You can find anything on the internet, right? Jillian's foolproof plan with Thad turns out not so foolproof. This is another of Samantha's books that does not disappoint.

This book was all sorts of fun! This enemies to lovers story had great characters, great banter, and a sizzling chemistry between the H/h  everything Ive come to expect from a Katee Robert story!

We met both Aubry and Quinn in the first book in this series and it was obvious that beneath all the I don't like you was a sizzling chemistry that was waiting for the right circumstances to catch fire. When these two agree to help each other out and find that maybe they have a bit more in common than they thought and they might actuallylikeeach other, what started off as just great sex turns into the possibility of something more.

I just loved these two together. Their bantering back and forth was so much fun to watch. Quinn always new just how to push all of Aubrys buttons, and I loved watching Aubry turn things right around on Quinn.

But the best parts were seeing underneath all of the banter and watching these two begin to care for one another. Quinn handling Aubrys anxiety attacks, Aubry giving Quinn support when he had to face his overbearing family  I loved watching Quinn and Aubry as they began to recognize that they really did care about one another. And it goes without saying that they certainly brought the heat and a lot of naughtiness to the pages

We got a glimpse of what is going ton with Jules and Adam (Foolproof Love, Book 1) and also got to see a little bit of Daniel  cant wait to see what is in store for him! And yes, Ninja Kitteh and some of the other cats from Cups and Kittens made an appearance as well.

Although the heroine is a bit difficult and causes a bit of angst in the book, knowing her back story and learning about her anxiety disorder make this heroine easy to forgive when she gets a bit snarky and difficult. The author does a wonderful job creating two characters who are so much more than what they appear on the surface and revealing just enough of whats beneath at just the right times, which kept me caught up in the characters and the story.

Another great read by Katee Robert that is sure to appeal to any romance lover who enjoys a road to a happy ever after filled with snarky banter, sexy times, and two great characters who are so much more than they seem.

Tempting Sophia is the second book about 3 friends that have been burned in love, and have become highly successful in spite of said heartbreak.  Seducing Lola is the first book, although you don't have to read it first, as each is a stand alone, but I highly recommending doing so, as they are somewhat intertwined.  Sophia had her heart broken by Dominic Abbatelli ten years ago, and while she has a successful radio show with her besties, good income, and a nice home, it doesn't change the fact that she gets lonely.  She's made Seattle hers, but when Dominic moves there from Manhattan, it shakes up her life.  And it doesn't help that he's determined to get her back, which is making things super tense.  Oh, and he's her best friend's older brother.  Will Dom ever get Sophia to forgive him, and give them another chance?  I LOVED Seducing Lola, but I believe that I hit a new level of love for Tempting Sophia.  Once again the three witty friends are back with all of their hilarious banter, and I couldn't get enough.  However, this story had some added intense angst that made me hurt for her completely, so I had a hard time forgiving Dom, although there were some added circumstances.  No matter what happened in the past, together they were extremely flammable, which ignited into some serious flames of sexy times that will melt panties.  Plus, as I mentioned before, there entertaining cast of secondaries kept me laughing hard throughout.  Jessica Prince is definitely super talented, and I'm completely hooked.  I CANNOT WAIT for Daphne's story, and HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

This was the first book I have ever read by this author, I can assure you it is definitely not going to be the last!

A great storyline, characters you want as your best friends, it is funny, sexy, steamy and hot! Any book that can make me spit my drink when I involuntarily laugh out load, you'll know exactly which part of the book I mean! Hockey and penis is all I'm saying and that's making me smile just thinking about it!!

Gemma Brocato has catapulted herself to the top of my "Authors I HAVE to Read More Than I Need my Next Breath" list!

From the minute I picked up this booked I was captured by the relationship between Devin and Grace. This story is so full of funny and tender moments, interesting twists and intriguing characters that I couldn't put it down. The story of Grace and Devin will leave you wishing the book was longer. This is a story that seems like a light hearted read at the start but turns into a beautiful story of real depth and raises issues of trust and forgiveness. I really connected with both Grace and Devin, I didn't want their story to end. If you're a fan of Kristen's books, you'll not want to miss this one. It is wonderful on so many levels!
