Though I haven't read Rook, just reading the reviews left me speechless! Sophia sounds AWESOME! She's  both witty and, strong. Sophia is by far my fav character. I love the growing romance between Sophia and Rene. All I know about Tom is that he is Sophia`s brother, but he sounds like an intresting character to me. The plot so far (from what I read in the reviews) sounds like a page turner. Sharon Cameron's other book, The Dark Unwinding is mysterious, romantic, and exciting. (If you like Sharon Cameron books, you should read it.) Back to Rook, Rene's Uncles are pretty  cool, in my opinion. Love the setting, characters, plot. It's a pretty awesome in my opinion. ;)

Sophia wasn't very nice when she was growing up and the people in the town of Whiskey Creek have good memories.  In recent years she has been seen as the aloof ice queen and trophy wife of her rich and successful husband.  But what people don't know is that Karma has been paying her back, with interest, in the form of an abusive husband and a very unhappy existence.

Everyone knows Sophia broke Teds heart when she got pregnant and married another, so in the past year when Sophia tries to join Ted and his friends at their weekly coffee date he is less than receptive.  Shes trying really hard to be friendly and hes trying even harder to make sure she knows she is not welcome.  But when Sophias husband disappears and so does their fortune, the one person who offers her a helping hand and a job is Ted.

I have been dying to read more into Sophia and Teds life since they were first introduced.  You know Sophia has been a bad girl, but you also know that she has to have some good in her for Ted to have fallen in love with her so hard all those years ago.  And from previous books you get the feeling they still have extremely strong feelings for each other, and though Ted tries to prove otherwise, you know those feelings aren't all hate.  Finally, in this book we get a glimpse of the girl that stole his heart.

My one problem with this book is that we never have all the details of her thought process and reasoning behind cheating and betraying Ted all those years ago.  We get a general idea from Sophia as she thinks it during a conversation with Ted but Ted never gets the truth and I feel like I needed them to hash it out more.  I wanted all the gory details.

Watching Sophia war with herself, stay strong for her daughter and long for the one man she has ever loved made this book very hard to set down  So don't pick it up if you have high hopes of getting things done.  Id sit down to read one chapter and 100 pages later realized time had gone on without me.  Brenda Novak has a knack for writing scenes that are so believable they feel tangible - they are so real.  I felt that way during quite a few scenes in this book.  It makes some of the things harder to read because you can feel what they are feeling.

I love the Whiskey Creek series and with each book I get more and more impatient for the next.

This book took me by surprise. I really enjoyed it and that's coming from someone who is just now coming back into contemporary romance novels. Amie Knight is a new author for me but she is a strong writer. This book has all of the elements of a girl-next-door meets man who is damaged and isn't good enough for her but it also has so much more. You can't go wrong by picking this book up. Even if it starts a tad slow you won't be able to put it down in no time.

This is the third book in the Perfect Gentlemen series. This one is a little different than the first two in that part of the book is us living the characters pass, and then the other half is the present moment where the Perfect Gentlemen are still following the clues to what happened to their friend Maddox Crawford. So, If you haven't read Scandal Never Sleeps and Seduction Session please stop here and read that one first.

This time around we have Daxton Spencer, US Navy Captain aka Captain Awesome, looking to clear his fathers name and prove that his father didn't take his own life like they were all lead to believe. I wasn't sure how this one was going to go, and there were some definite surprise for readers. I have discovered through this series and other by the two lovely authors - Shayla Black & Lexi Blake - that the characters surrounding the main couple are so lovable and quirky. No matter ow dark the book gets there are always moment that give you hope for the couple and where the series is heading.

I cant wait for the next one to come out which is Smoke & Sin. Shayla Black & Lexi Blake make for a fabulous writing team.

If you are a fan of any of the following you gotta jump on board this plane: Shayla Black, Lexi Blake, Wicked Lovers Series, Masters & Mercenaries Series, Doms of Her Life, steamy romance, and just a fan of great romance you gotta read this series. .

The first book in the Silicon Valley Billionaires features Lauren Taylor and Gabe Betts. There is instant attraction between them. They are both brilliant, billionaire CEOs of their own technology companies who are strong, determined, and stubborn. Gabe is a perfect match for Lauren. He is smart, protective, and caring. Lauren is very reserved, a control freak, and extremely driven which has led her to be a recluse. The characters are likeable and interesting. The author wrote an intriguing storyline featuring a female lead that is a young, brilliant scientist. She has come up with a life changing invention but is threaten by others trying to steal it before it hits the market. Their sexy romance comes at a time when Lauren is deep in the final testing modes, but Gabe is able to break down her barriers and Im happy she is able to start having a life outside of the lab. There is an awesome female villain in this story that we haven't heard the last from. Their story continues in book 2, Gabe, but I wouldnt consider this to end in a cliffhanger.  I can't wait to read more about Lauren and Gabe and the rest of the characters.
Note: I received an ARC from the publisher and liked it so much, I bought my own copy.

My favorite Quinn brother. I wonder if I could have him if I got rid of Grace. :) Grace is great. I love her too. I want to be friends with her. (Guess I couldn't get rid of her then. LOL) Being from Maryland, the setting was great for me. I understood all the local color and could practically taste the blue crabs when they were talking about picking them. Usually, I read paranormal romance, but this didn't let me down at all. I read it in one day. I didn't want to stop reading it at all. As soon as I was done, I jumped up to find the next book in the saga

Review by Kristy Dean
Title: Owned by the Hitman
Author: Alexis Abbott
(Arc for an Honest review)

Authors writing style: I have read several books by Alexis Abbott. I love her writing style. The stories are very detailed. You could picture the events happening and connect with the characters. Her stories give you the warm fuzzing feelings with happy endings. I would encourage anyone to read this story. It has a little bit of violence, what mob doesnt, as well as a love story. This was a standalone full story with a HEA ending. (You will get your moneys worth from this story).
Overview: Ivan is a Russian mob hitman. After a bad night on the job he can only thing of two things, vodka and a woman. He hits up a club and meets the owner, a beautiful woman named Katy. Katy was given the dance club after her father was killed. The bad part is that Katy now has to pay her fathers debt with the Russian mob. But for one night, she decides to think about her needs and goes home with Ivan. She doesnt know that he works for the mob until a few months pass and she cant make her payment. Ivan offers her a deal. Be his for 1 year and she will be protected from the Russian mob. Katy doesnt know if she could accept his deal until she is kind of forced into it by other mob players. But will Katy be able to hold on to her heart as she learns more about Ivan? Will Ivan want more out of life than being in the mob? Will the two survive the truths that are about to be revealed?

Okay Wild for you was good BUT I LOVED SOLD ON YOU! Marisol is a firecracker who was a force to be reckoned with with Clay as well as her brother Marcos! She wasn't backing down and she was strong now this is where wild on you got to me a little bit.. They fell too hard way too fast.. It was a bit unreal. But I loved the storyline.. If their feelings for each other could've developed a little more in the book it would've been perfect.. Now Sold on You.. A different story... Marcos and Gabriela had a little history! I loved their attraction and the way they fell for each other.. Abuelita Coqui is like most Grandma's- seeing more than what meets the eye and using that to her advantage to help everyone else see it too! This was on my kindle list for a while be when I saw the box set I jumped on it! Sooo happy I did that! Great read!

"Girl,  you are the epitome of spoiled. I can smell it in your expensive perfume, in the quality of your ridiculous clothing, in the bracelet wrapped 'round that delicate wrist. You won't last out here. You'll stay blind to the environment that surrounds you. You'll live in your clean, perfect bubble and return to your posh life come six months. You are... you. I know your kind. I've seen it all before. You will never wake up. Not really."

 Vain is the fist book in the seven deadly sins series by Fisher Amelie.  Sophie Price has always relied on her good looks and her father's money. She manipulates her group of rich friends and she's the queen bee.

"I fitted into your life, showed you ecstasy, and left you dependent. I did this for fun, for the hell of it, for attention. I wanted to be wanted, and my word, did they want me. Did they ever."

 Sophie was raised by a nanny, until the age of 14, when she fired the nanny herself. Sophie's parents only showed her attention when it involved closing a business deal or keeping up with appearances.  The one thing Sophie yearned for was attention from her parents.

"Freedom is just that. Absolutely no restrictions. I abandoned myself to every whim I felt. Every want I fulfilled and every desire was quenched. I wanted for nothing. Except attention"

 During a weekend party with her friends, Sophie gets caught with the possession of cocaine. Sophie Price is used to getting off easy, but this is not her first drug charge. Sophie gets sentenced to serve six months at the Masego orphanage in Uganda, Africa.

 Vain is a heart wrenching story of redemption. This was the first book I've read by Fisher Amelie and it was beautifully written. This is an emotional and a suspenseful read. I can't wait to read the next book in the series Greed. I hope everyone enjoys this book as much as I did.

The Deal by Elle Kennedy

Hannah Wells is an intelligent hardworking college student. She received an A on an assignment that almost everyone in the class failed. While she is successful in many things, relationships are not her forte.

Garrett Graham is the big shot hockey player on campus but, if he can't bring scores in the classroom, his GPA will tank, and so will his shot at his dream.

He notices Hannah's grade and asks her to tutor him. To his shock, she refuses.

BUT

He does not give up easily.

He relentlessly keeps asking for her help.

UNTIL

He finds out that her Achilles heel is a guy she has interest in but, her crush does not have interest in her.

Garrett makes a deal Hannah can not refuse.

The Deal may end up being more than either one of them bargained for.

I FREAKING LOVED THIS BOOK!!! I loved the writing, the banter between the characters and the heart to heart moments. This book was extremely fast paced and had me rooting for the bad boy. I will be reading the sequel, The Mistake!
