This story is sexy on steroids. From the first page you are blushing. It's a book packed with sexy and emotions. Though I have not read the first book to this series, and it is not necessary, it leaves you wanting to read it. Looking forward to more from Cassandra Magnussen.

Wow... I love this story.  The beautiful innocent Grace is magical and brave.  Jared is hurt and broken.  Together they make an amazing team.  This story has romance, suspense, espionage, government conspiracy, and very hot sex.  Couldn't get enough of it.

Jana Pritchard is a greeting card illustrator working from home and the highlight of her day starts to become the arrival of the hot delivery guy.

His nametag might read Dane but hes really Jake Aston, now CEO of the recently acquired SwiftEx delivery corporation, and hes gone undercover to gain insight into the mechanics of his new company.

Right off the bat, I gotta admit I was jealous of Jana. I mean half the time I cant even get my delivery guys to ring the  doorbell so I know I have a package before they take off yet alone wait for me to answer the door and then make pleasant conversation. But Jake is as smitten with Jana as she is with him.

Points on this one for an original premise. Its getting harder these days to find romantic set ups Ive not read many times before so this was a cute new angle for two people to meet. Its not new to the porn industry Im sure so points again for taking a porn trope and turning it into a sweet and sexy story.

Theres no shortage of either sweetness or sex in this tale. Jake is an all round great guy. Hes been a workaholic so hes thankfully not a manwhore. Hes devoted to making his companies better, and then hes devoted to making Janawell pleasured.

Told via Jana and Jake's alternating first person POV, there are plenty of steamy encounters here. And if you are looking for a smooth story of how two people get together and make it work then this is a no drama/no angst read to pick up. I cant begin to tell you how refreshing it was that there were no scheming, trouble-making exes or contrived conflict, nor is either character broken or troubled.  Its just two available singles who find a connection and go with the flow, making their love story feel down-to-earth even though its also a Cinderella tale.

This storyCiaras storystarts off hot and heavy.  Who would have thought it?  After hearing about how perfect she is during her sisters series (Unbearable Passion) I would have never suspected Ciara to be so naughty behind closed doors.  In the aftermath of a broken heart, she now prefers to be a man-eater; only dating for a short period of time until she gets bored or completely sexually unsatisfied.  While traveling for work she meets her next casual encounter, Nikolaj. Ciara quickly realizes shes met her match with the sexy billionaire and their mutual combustible chemistry.  While she already has an abundance of self-assuredness, he possibly surpasses her with his as well as his dominance.  What makes this a stand out is not the story but the scorching and kinky sex.  Quelle surprise!

I don't think we ever tire of princess stories even as adults. So when I got a chance to review a modern day story about a princess, how could I resist?

This Book starts out with a bang never lets up until the last word. Fast paced, sexy as hell romance that is perfect for a mid-afternoon break or a late night reading fest.

The author introduces us to Dom and he is one that you soon won't forget. We also meet the princess Elle. Feisty, take no crap chick who has big secret to hide. But one look at Dom and all bets are off. It's insta-love, baby.

This author knows how to grab you and suck you in to the story. Loaded with plenty of action, lots of hot, hot sex and romance, this very fast paced story comes with no slow spots.

This book is an exciting fun read that offers a sexy male lead and one feisty princess that you're going to enjoy meeting. I just wish it was longer!

i need me a russian!
man, the raw sexuality they exude in all the stories ive read of them!? damn! but excuse  me, im getting off topic here.

this story takes some real dedication on your part to pay attention to names being thrown out and keeping track in the beginning. but as it goes it gets soooo much better.

Elizabeth was hard for me to like in the beginning because she embodied the stereotype given to all reporters. that they're only out to get the story at whatever cost to whoever is in the way; and she fits the bitch bill. as the story progresses she becomes more likable, due to the russian brute of an "old man" Daniil. She is a bitchy 28 year old and he is a 49 year old unapologetic mobster. the 21 year age difference really isn't an issue between the two after the initial jabs are thrown and a drunken (unprotected) tumble in the sheets.... which is pretty hot for drunken sex.

Daniil scares the crap out of Elizabeth (and puts her in her place) when she is getting too close to his family's private business and she intends to stay away. only when the man she is terrified of ends up defending and protecting her best she caves to him willingly and wearily.

i love that Scarlett doesnt deflect from Daniils scariness to showcase his caring side. he is fierce and protects what's his no matter the cost. even if thats scaring those he loves as well.

i recommend this for a quick read that will keep you on your toes...curled or not ;)

This is a truly fantastic story.  From the love at 1st glance, meeting with unknown elements causing concerns to Maggie, our professional trouble shooter, and Harry, our Billionaire. This followed by a trip to Cuba and a couple of red hot sexual encounters. Finally back to DC and further intrigue, until the Board room and the final proposal.  Yes, it's fast hot and racy.

I highly recommend this sexy, smoking hot story that takes you into the heart of a novice submissive. Left me wanting more.

If you want too remember what it is like to fall head over heels this is the story you are looking for.
 Jess hit the ball out of the park with this story. The sexual tension in the book was sizzling, your heart raced along with Lemons. The sex that is bound to happen in a romance novel was hot and a little kinky, without the long drawn out boring details you get from so many authors.
 You cant help but too smile as the story grows and encompasses you. You forget who the characters are in their lives they just feel like life long friends. Ms. Bryant is bound to be a household name if she continues to write such sweet and sexy love stories.

Gah, dream scenario come true!  Hot single dad and the sassy nanny.  I loved this story from start to finish.  Lauren Blakely has become a MUST READ for me with all of her 5 star hits.  This one does not disappoint.  *sigh* we all want a Simon.

*Reviewed by Debra for Sinfully Gay Romance Book Reviews*

The Metropolis is an apartment complex with a large population of gay men who thrive on gossip, sex and working out (if you follow Devon McCormack on Facebook, it might sound familiar). This does little to help Gary get through his breakup with his longtime cheating boyfriend Peter, who promptly moved in with his new lover at the Metropolis, so they cant help running into each other and being the hot topic of gossip.

Gary has seen the super sexy and hot Travis around and knows him by reputation, but he gets the full-on up close and personal when he wakes up with a naked, hungover Travis in his bed. They make the best of an awkward situation (spurred on by Garys best friend) and the next time they meet Travis jumps in to save Gary from an awkward moment with his ex by claiming Gary as his own. And soon the plot is hatched; Gary will pose as Traviss boyfriend to help him with a business deal and Travis will be Garys new, super sexy boyfriend to rub Peters face in things. Oh how I love a good fake boyfriend story and this one worked very well for me.

Of course, as the fake relationship progresses a real one develops. Gary is insecure and cant believe someone in Traviss league would ever want him. Travis is outwardly confident, but has his own insecurities based mostly around his family drama. A friendship with benefits is wonderful, but soon other feelings creep in. Jealousy, possessiveness and a genuine affection are things Travis has always balked at and something Gary has always wanted. There wasn't a dull moment as both Travis and Gary help each other gain confidence in areas where it is sorely lacking.

Clichs abound, but I found the story fun, sweet, sexy and very entertaining. Its not all fun and fluff as Traviss family issues come to a head. His brothers are lovely but his parents are horrible. Gary is also having some family issues of his own making and has to decide if hes finally going to completely be himself and open up to his parents.

Told in alternating points of view, the collaborative writing flowed seamlessly. There was great banter between Travis and Gary and a cast of secondary characters begging to tell their own stories. Most of them come off at first glance as shallow, sex starved men, but there is more to that lurking under the surface. I especially adored the sweet and supportive Hayden and the snarky but vulnerable Derek.

If you enjoy the fake boyfriend trope and are looking for a sweet, sexy and fun read, take a trip to the Metropolis and just enjoy.

This story develops into so much more than it gives away in the first couple of chapters. Im not about to put any spoilers in but just give you a flavour of the treat you are in for if you read this story.

The dynamics of the relationship between Alan and Jem shift over time and initially it seems as though its a Sir and a street whore falling in love. Nevertheless, the story unfolds to give the protagonists reason to care for one another simply because one wants to help the other in his objectives. Its the old thing, what matters to you matters to me.

I thought the sex was consistently hot, and the initial situation between Alan and Jem shifted around a lot to settle over time, and the two became really confident and settled within their relationship. As a result the sub plot complimented and assisted their bond beautifully. I even warmed to Badgeman in the end!

I will definitely read more by these authors.

This story was great from the beginning, Aiden and Liam are two hot brothers who know how to play hard which is  every girls dream!
Sam is shy but brattish which is due to her past and has a love of horses which is a common link with the twins.
If you read this you will laugh it will also make you hot.

This was a really good story. It had everything a nice romance should have. A fantasticaly hot Hero, a beautiful, deserving heroine and an immediate spark that neither could ignore. This love story is pretty clean but it was still very sexy. Lots of angst followed this couple as Teri fought a loosing battle when it came to Michael and his advances, and he was very persistent. Sometimes you want a story with no drama, just normal actions of a cautious woman and a sexy determined man. This was that kind of story and I'm glad I gave it a try.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Going for Gold is a sexy, crazy story from Ivy Smoak. This time though, it's a sports themed story, set at the International Tournament of Athletes (similar to the Olympics) in Brazil. It stars Alina, a competitor on the women's volleyball team, and Bryce, a competitor on the track team. Alina is dating another athlete at the games, Chris, but things aren't going well between them because Chris is a grade a d-bag. She ends up breaking up with him and Bryce is there to comfort her. He's the complete opposite of Chris, sweet and really cares about Alina. Alina needs to win the gold at the ITA so she can use the money to buy her grandma's bakery before her dad sells it to someone else, and Bryce needs to win gold in his races so that Rodrigo, an evil Brazilian who is using Bryce (and other athletes at the ITA) to make him money from fixed competitions, won't kill Bryce's sister.

I enjoyed this story a lot. Both Alina and Bryce are great characters and their relationship was hot and really sweet. I also loved the secondary characters Kristen, Alina's best friend and fellow volleyball competitor, Tim, Bryce's fellow competitor and friend, and Alex, Bryce's other friend and fellow competitor. I'd love to read a story about any or all of them. Some really, really bats--t crazy things happen at the ITA games, things that you will need to suspend belief to read, but they just made the story that much more interesting. I won't give away any spoilers about them, but just be forewarned that they'll have your panties melting right off! Going for Gold is very different than Ivy's other stories, especially The Hunted series, but in a good way and if you enjoy sexy, crazy sports stories, then this is the one for you!

I absolutely loved this story. Mitchell is such a sweet, sweet man. Oh my his need to protect and care for Alana melted my heart. Mitch noticed the sweet and innocent Alana from the stage at his concert. She was not the typical crazy slutty fan girl he was used to. Something about her captivated him. He put on a disguise and went into the crowd and asked her to meet him after the show. But afterward he found her in the bar of their hotel. His mad ex body guard threw a glass vase at him and shattered glass in her eyes causing temporary blindness from the damage. Mitch immediately took charge and took care of her. In the few days they spent together they fell deeply for one another. They shared passion, desire, and hot hot hot sex. But Mitch let her go to allow her to live her life. He felt he wasn't good enough for her. He never wanted to taint her innocent life with his fame. They were both miserable without each other. He finally goes after the only woman he ever wanted to settle down with. She agrees to go on tour with them as their photographer. Life is great and they get their happily ever after. Great story. Loved Mitch so much! I wish the story would continue though.

This story we meet Knox and Rebecca which leads to some very sexy times. I was grabbed into this story from the start. Rebecca is smart and witty. Knox is total alpha. These characters draw you in with that spark and chemistry. The plot flows through out. This isn't as dark as I normally read, but to others some of the sexual situations might not be for you.
I would recommend this series.
