Alec is the second book in the Slater Brothers series and must be read after Bronagh . It is Alec and Keela's story.

Keela needs a favor from Alec. A huge favor: escort her to her cousin's wedding and pretend to be her boyfriend. Alec agrees, but he as a few conditions: he wants her body.
But what happens when the lines between pretending and reality start to blur?

I loved Alec! It has an amazing story that hooked me from the first page. It takes you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions: it has lots of drama, laughter, action and steamy scenes. But it is also a fantastic love story.

I loved Alec! He is a former escort and man-whore. He is a alpha male and a very swoon worthy man. He is sexy, hot, and possessive.
Keela is a strong young woman. She is considered the black sheep of her family. Even her mother prefers her cousin to her. She is very stubborn and doesn't take s*** from anyone. Especially Alec. I loved the banter between them.

Once again, L.A. Casey gives us a wonderful book, with an amazing story and fantastic characters. Her writing style makes the reader connect with the story and the characters.
Can't wait tor read the next book!

For you Ryder fans, here's another brother to fall for.

For you Love in Bloom fans, here's another story to fall for.

And for you Melissa Foster fans, here's another moment to truly enjoy the author Melissa Foster is.

This time, it's Duke Ryder's turn to fall. The eldest of his siblings, he's had flings but has never found a reason to not put work first. He's passionate about his chosen career and would be fine just wearing that hat. But when the investment group he's a part of (with other Bloom friends, of course) wants to buy Elpitha, a south-meets-Greek island, he sets out to find a way to convince the elder to sell. He's not expecting Gabriella.

After high school, Gabriella's grandfather urged her to get off the island, to find a life that was big and bright and so completely her. While she did do just that, and practices family law in New York, her heart will always belong to the quiet little island her family has always called home. Her grandfather has her come home, though, to play tour guide for the person looking to make an investment property out of the island, and when she hears his plans, she wants to cry.

I found Gabriella's character to be rather 'normal' -- but in a good way. When so many books have a super super strong heroine, or even a broken heroine, you start to expect that. Gabriella is middle of the road. She's loyal to her family, she's career driven, she had friends... She's just a normal woman. And I appreciated that.

Duke... Oh, Duke...

I liked him, but the more I read, the more I liked, the more I sat back and forced myself to think and realize: this man has no flaws. He falls for Gabriella quickly. He falls for her family quickly. He listens, he absorbs, he produces, he's trustworthy, he's loyal, he has your back and your back and his brother's back. He's just an all-around good guy. And like Gabriella, I didn't mind it so much. Having read other Ryder's, you know that it's a product of his family, and I found that the characterization was actually pretty on par for what I would assume the eldest of that family would be like. I would have liked to see mistakes from him, though, but... He was a good guy, and he fought for Gabriella's trust. He knew he had to earn it and he wasn't setting out to make a fool of her.

This was another enjoyable Foster title. My Ryder heart still goes to Blue but... I think Jake may give him a run for his money when he comes along. I have to say... If he ends up with who I think he'll end up with? Gosh, I just can't wait...

I couldn't put this book down. I was up to early hours of the morning finishing off this amazing book.  I laughed out loud a lot but my heart also broke for Alec and Keela.  Another wonderful read by the talented L.A. Casey.  I can't wait for more Slater brothers in the future.

I have been seeing Step-Brother romances floating around for a while now, and most often then not, I think they are overrated and I skip them.

But when I read the blurb of A Step Too Close and knowing that it was from the author who gave us Deviant and Redemption, I knew that there were going to be twists and turns along the way. And God, I wasn't disappointed.

Ayden is a character I can relate to so deeply, it was a little frightening at times. She was so strong and yet she never knew it, and having a strong female character is something I love reading.

Hunter was amazing. The alpha male who could make you melt with his words and hypnotizing green eyes. He was a good and caring character, yet sexy as hell - a bloody perfect combination! The scenes between Hunter and Ayden were so hot, I thought my phone would melt or then I would, and Mumbai weather was not helping my case!

Mason was an added bonus, and it was at times, I found him so appealing, I wanted him more than I wanted Hunter. I think older men like Mason are the reason young girls like me have very high expectations.

All the other secondary characters, too, were really nice to read, no matter how much I wanted to throttle two of them in particular. Christian was my favorite from all the secondary characters!

In all, Jaimie has done a brilliant job writing a really good step-brother romance, and I am so glad I waited for this book. It was one of my most anticipated reads of 2015 and is now even one of my best reads of this year! It is a must read for those who like step-brother romances, or not even.

Actually, all romance readers who love twists should read this one!

I am so in LOVE with Kincaid! I want him to be my book husband. Kincaid has stolen my heart. Marie James is a FANTASTIC author and has done it again with another AMAZING book. If you loved/liked Love Me Like That than you love/like Kincaid. Kincaid isn't your typical MC drug, party, violence book. I love how differnet it is because there is a good side to this MC book. Yes, there is some party, sex and violence in the book but its not over the top like Sons of Anarchy (love me some of SOA tho ). It gives a different outlook on MC clubs. Kincaid is from the Marines, who is now the President of the MC. He protects and still serves his country in secert missions. While in Denver on a mission to help he's cousin find he's girlfriend who was kidnapped, Kincaid doesn't know hes life is about to change. Emmalyn is a victim of physical abuse and is tired of being abused. Emmalyn has been cut off from her family and moved to another state by her high school ,now husband. Kincaid is celebrating the rescue of his mission with he's MC crew while Emmalyn is the bartender and her husband is there keeping tabs on her. One night changes everything for Kincaid and Emmalyn. Does Kincaid protcet Emmalyn even tho he knows nothing about her? Emmalyn only has one shot to make the right decision. Does she stay or leave her abuser? If she leaves will she finally fell safe and be completely free of her abusive husband. Read Kincaid to get the full story and fall in love with Kincaid and Emmalyn's story. I hope Marie James continues their story and writes more books on the MC crew. Looking forward to more books

From This Day Forward had everything that I have come to love from Lauren Layne.  And this time she pulled it off in a Novella.  Usually Im not a novella girl, unless its in the middle of a series Im obsessed with.  But when it comes to her books, I have learned that if its something Im usually not the biggest fan of, you can bet that I will be since she wrote it!  So get ready because this series looks like it is going to be filled with friendships, laughter, sexiness and moments that will make me sigh and fall madly in love!  I cant wait to read the rest of this series and Im keeping my fingers crossed that I get lots of peaks of Jason and Leah too!

Ohhhh Jason and Leah.  A year has passed since they roughly parted ways.  Leah thought Jason was cheating on her and Jason never tried hard enough to talk with Leah after what happened.  But now they are going to spend the weekend working around each other photographing the previous Presidents daughters wedding.  And the sexual tension is running high!

Leah and Jason are the type of couple that radiates sexual tension and electricity.  When they're near each other they have this pull towards one another that is blatantly obvious to everyone!  And they cant even try and ignore it!  But even though they're still jaded from their past it doesnt put a damper on their chemistry.  I had so much fun watching Jason try to seduce Leah. *fans face*  Jason is an alpha male who is extremely charismatic and I fell hard for him.  Especially since he could be thoughtful at just the right moment.  He was definitely sigh worthy.

Now Im not sure if we were supposed to or not, but I figured out the twist near the beginning of the story.  That definitely didn't bother me, because I patiently waited to see if my guess panned out.  And I was so happy when it did!

From This Day Forward was a story that quickly pulled me in and I easily found myself connecting with the characters.  The amount of emotions packed into this novella was beyond fabulous!  My only wish was that their story was a little longer.  I know, I know, this is a novella.  But she created these characters that were so wonderful that it pained me to not read a full length novel with them.  Jason had such a huge back story that I would have loved to dive into more and I wish I could have had some flashbacks to their past but you can totally ignore my whining because this was so well written that I just wanted more.  Im greedy like that!  Now I cant wait to see them in the future books in this series!  I hope you enjoy meeting Leah and Jason too!

Kane and Aideen are, so far, my favorite couple! Kane is a total badass and is super hot while Aideen is no slouch herself. She is full of sass and doesn't take any of Kane's crap!  If you haven't read at least Kane then you may want to go back and read it as some events discussed happened during that book. This is a really quick read but it catches you up on what happens after Aideen leaves the hospital.

Aideen is recovering and both she and Kane are awaiting the arrival of their child. They are finally living together and Kane shares more of his feelings than before. I will tell you that birth of their child is so funny! The Slater brothers leave me in stitches the entire book but none more than when they are offering up suggestions for helping Aideen go into labor. Alec crying when his dream isn't going to come true is priceless!! I love when Aideen finally gives Kane some tough love and forces him to see what he is doing is wrong. Not to mention his proposal.....I didn't think he had it in him. I can't wait for Ryder and then Damien's stories.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. This review was first published at Blushing Reads.

This was one of those books that made me want to throw my Kindle.  Right from the beginning I was totally invested in these Mac and Lawson!

Mac and Lawson have known each other forever!  He has always been her brother's best friend.  He thought of her as another little sister, and when she couldn't get him to see her any other way, she goes to Chicago for school and builds a life there.  When that life starts to not be as great as she hoped she goes back home to find herself.  When she gets there Lawson finally sees her as a woman and not another little sister.  He wants nothing serious, she just wants a chance with him.  But like most men he sends mixed signals and cant figure out what he really wants.... this is what helps Mac actually find herself!

This story had me laughing at times, and crying at others.  I got mad.  I squealed like a teen girl at a boy band concert.  There were also some REALLY SUPER HOT MOMENTS!!!  And I just LOVED when he would call her "darlin"- so sexy.  Definitely a story worthy of

After being left on the edge with This Love Of Mine, I was very ready to read This Trust Of Mine to see how Kayla and Madison's story continued. Amanda Bennett has done it yet again, she has written a novel that moved me and pulled my heart and soul in.

Madison has gone on to Arizona for school, and Kayla has been left in Texas to try to go on without him. He didn't know what happened the night that he left, and Kayla couldn't bring herself to tell him. As Kayla deals with the consequences of staying behind, Madison has struggles of his own in Arizona. Having their best friend's Glenn and Cami around to help them through these issues is a huge benefit to try to get them to recognize their love for one another and earn each other's trust.

Kayla is such a strong young woman. I can't even imagine going through all that she went through already in her life. I already loved her in This Love Of Mine, and I grew to love her even more. I also grew to like Cami, her best friend more too. I felt like I got know her a little more in this book than I did in the first.

I've already professed my unending love for Madison Raine when I read the first book, and my heart completely melted in this one. The love that he feels for Kayla is undeniable, and he sure does prove it. As with growing to know more about Cami, I felt like I learned more about Glenn too. We even got to know a little about Joey, Glenn's little brother that seemed to try to interfere with Madison and Kayla's relationship.

This Trust Of Mine is another amazing story about learning to love, letting go of the past, moving on and building trust. I did cry quite a few times while reading this book, as I usually end up doing with Amanda Bennett's books...the girl can get your emotions running rampant, but I loved every minute of it. I can't wait to the next in the series. I need more Kayla and Madison!

I wanted him.  I didn't just want him in my bed, I wanted him in my life.  For the next however long.  Forever probably.

5 leap into love stars!!  Obsessed doesnt even begin to cover how I feel about this book!

I thought I was in love with book one, and now after reading book two, I know Im obsessed!!  I love Spencer and Andrew!!  By far one of my absolute favorite book couples.  In this second installment, Spencer and Andrew decide to give a relationship together a shot.  And while they are excited, theyve decided to take things slow.  And let me just tell you the sexual chemistry and angst between these two is explosive.  Spencer is learning that he has to open up to Andrew about his past, but hes scared to open his heart more than he needs to.  But while doing so, he realizes hes falling in love with Andrew, I mean how can he not??  And while Andrew swears hes not ready for love, he finds himself worried when Spencer takes on a new client.  But this new client is more than what Spencer bargained for.

Holy hll.. After that ending I need more!!  This series was recommended to me by a friend and Im so grateful she did!  This is one of my favorite series to date!!  The story is fast paced, the characters you fall in love with and well, the sexual chemistry is off the charts.  What more could you ask for in a book??  Anxiously awaiting book three!!!

Melissa Foster has topped herself!  Ive been waiting for Bad boy Bretts story since she first introduced us to the Bad Brothers several books ago.  All of these brothers are damaged goods, hanging onto grief and anger after their little sister died of leukemia when they were kids.  They all grew up to be extremely successful men but refused to allow themselves to ever be hurt again by love.  One by one, each of the Bad Brothers found that special woman who won him over and helped him love again.  All except for Brett.  Brett was the last hold out and knew deep in his soul that he could never commit to a woman, could never allow himself to love someone that much again.  Then he met Sophie.  Sexy Sophie, as he called her, came from a close knit, small town, openly loving family who believed in happily ever afters.  He propositioned Sophie for years, but she always put him in his place.  In this book, Brett finally convinces Sophie to give him a chance.  Of course he lets her know up front that this is a one time thing.  One night of intense pleasure to get each other out of their system.  What Brett doesnt know is that he never stood a chance of protecting his heart from Sophie.
I loved this book so much!  It had humor, sweetness, and of course, incredibly hot sex.  All things Ive come to expect from a Melissa Foster Book.  Brett is a totally badass alpha while at the same time a true romantic and softie.  Sophie is gorgeous, smart, and strong willed with a heart of complete gold.  I also loved how she brought back familiar characters from other books (I always love to read how old characters are doing) as well as introduced new characters and a new town that Im sure will have their own books in the future.  I, of course, will be pre-ordering all those books as soon as they are announced.
All I can say after reading this book is I hope every reader finds their true love, and their Forever Kiss.

This was a bittersweet read for me because I absolutely loved it, but I hate that this is the last brother in the group to have his story shared. I love these guys and they reminded me in some ways of the Riley brothers. (If you haven't read that series, then I highly recommend it!) Through the stories of the Significant Brothers, E. Davies has made me laugh, cry, and smile, and he has provided hours of very enjoyable reading.

I had been waiting for Josh's story and it was worth the wait! In Tremble, Josh met Evan who was a perfect match for him. I already knew I liked Josh, and it was a treat to meet Evan. Almost instantly, I adored him and loved seeing how he and Josh helped each other become stronger and more confident. It was nice to see them grow closer together as they spent more time together. Evan was right when he said Josh had a big heart, but Evan had a big heart as well. They helped each other, and others, without expecting anything in return. They had a deep emotional connection and amazing chemistry. Whether they were outdoors in a hot tub or inside in the bedroom, they were smoking hot! E. Davies does know how to write them.

As I experienced with the previous books, the cameo appearances from the other brothers was nice. I always like reading how everyone else is doing and progressing. Although I'll miss these guys, I know I have the first brother's wedding story to read, and I'm hopeful that E. Davies will have some new and wonderful stories for me to get absorbed in soon.

What a wonderful collaboration from my two favorite authors. Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde have written an amazing story that had heart as well as some dirty and sexy moments. Clay and Samantha were just so great together. Clay totally made my heart melt every time he called Samantha, cupcake, and I totally fell in love with him when he demonstrated what a big and soft heart he had for Samantha, as well as others who were in need. I also loved how Samantha was trying to gain her independence from her family and how Clay supported her any way he could. And the gift he gave her was just so OMG- and sigh-worthy. I don't want to spoil the surprise but let me tell you, if you don't fall madly in love with Clay from that one gesture then I have nothing more to say. Absolutely loved every moment of this story. Can't wait for the next book in this series, Dirty Sexy Inked.

I am in love with this series, although not at first. It took me a few books to get hooked, mainly because I had to get past the thought of buying new installments, but now that I have caught up, I don't mind paying a few dollars here and there for a great story line!  Sean and Avery are an interesting couple fueled by heat and troubled pasts.  It's interesting to see Avery evolve an already hot man into this incredible creature who just adores her and knows it is because of her that he is becoming this man.  I am thrilled to hear this may be made for TV and honestly, i think that is because of how she is writing the series which lends itself that way!  I will continue to look for and buy each installment as long as she continues this great series.  I may also admit that i am also addicted to her other Ferro men as well!

Thank you Holly!

I absolutely love this series and cannot get enough of the Cross siblings. Crossed is the prequel to the series and shares the story of how Grace and Hunter fall in love. In Layers Crossed we read about Emma meeting a cowboy and finding love in an unlikely place. We were also introduced to Grace, Emmas best friend and accomplice in all things mischief-making. And of course we cannot forget about the very hot and protective Cross brothers, Tristan and Julian.

Grace Brooks has been estranged from her family for a decade and doesnt have any plans for a reunion, but they seem to take matters into their own hands when the family business gets into trouble with the law. Grace has her own life, her own successful beauty salon and the only thing missing right now is the one to share it with.

Three years ago, both Grace and Emma experience soul shattering, heart-aching loss and Grace has struggled to find a man to measure up since. Every time she meets a man with potential they always fall short, but when Hunter is pushed into her life by Emma, well their chemistry and attraction cannot be denied.

Hunter Reeve has endured a lot already in his short life. He works with Emma and her brothers at Cross Enterprises and has been investigating the Wagners for years. They are a slippery group and Hunter heads off undercover to find more dirt.

Emma turns up on Graces salon doorstep with a caveman and asks Grace to work her magic. The man looked like a homeless person with a long beard and hair and a horrible stench. Grace sneaks the caveman through the back entrance and into a vacant shower room. The man doesnt respond to Grace in any way, in the end Grace has to strip him and couldn't believe such a beautiful man was hidden underneath the layers of grime and clothes. Grace has to wash his hair and thats when he actually moves. It was Graces touch washing his hair thats brought him back to reality.

Grace leaves him to other staff and heads out the front. She is stuck thinking of this stranger until someone is yelling and glass is smashing. Thieves are demanding Graces safe location. He grabs her when the sirens sound and drags her toward the back door. There is something familiar about one of them, but with no time to ponder, she does as shes told. The next second, BANG CRASH, his gun is knocked away and the thief is gone. Someone heavy is lying on Grace and she is stunned by his model looks and muscles.

This was the beginning of their time together. Hunter took it upon himself to protect Grace and work on who the band of idiots were. The more time they spend together the stronger their feelings become and Grace admits that she has never felt this connection with anyone before.

Will they find out who the thieves were? Will Grace let this relationship bloom instead of doom? Can Hunter open himself up to Grace and share what happened to make him zone out?

Crossed was action packed, exciting, intriguing, lusty, and steamy and a whole lot of fun. It was another suspense driven read by Ms Silks and I want more. Hunter is such a sweetheart and I hope he appears in the books to come. Ms Laceys style was superb and I highly recommend this series to all new adult romance readers.
