I absolutely loved this story. It was romance, but the romance wasn't the only focus in the book. The family was the focus of the book. It's easy to see why this book is A Novel of Family and Love.

Grace's family is her main priority--they are the reason she pretty much doesn't have a life. Her sisters Chloe and Nell are always taking her for granted, mostly because she never says no to them. She takes care of her dad and Chloe all of the time, and Nell some of the time. She does the cooking, and she works in her father's business--putting her dreams on hold.

She does all of this without complaining. When her mother died, she promised to take care of her family, and that's what she's done all of these years. She's been more of a mother than a sister, and she's expected to resolve everything. But when her sister Nell puts her in charge of everything in her wedding, things start to fall apart.

Grace was an amazing character. I loved how she never really thought of herself, even though she was using her family as an excuse to not put herself out there. She played it safe. Most characters that do this annoy me, but the writing style and Grace herself were so unique that I wasn't annoyed--I understood where Grace was coming from and I was immersed in the book.

I connected with Grace the most. Though she was sometimes a pushover, I loved her personality and I really felt like she was a great person.

Pete is Grace's best friend, but he's also very hot. Grace is blind to his attraction towards her, preferring to play it safe. But that never lasts, does it? He was really supportive and patient with Grace, and pushed her to follow her dreams, though she didn't listen.

There's a bunch of family drama and hilarious moments, paired with the cutest romance and steamy passion. I definitely recommend this book to people who love family and love. Oh, and dreams coming true. That's always important :)

I love Ian & Kathryn! They go to Vegas for work, celebrate too much & tie one on. When they awake the next morning, the night before was a haze. As they slowly piece things together, they look at each other in horror. They got married! Kathryn has a phobia about marriage & freaks out. Will they stay married? Stay a couple?

Cynthia has done a great job on these characters! Ian & Kathryn have flaws & hang ups just like the rest of us. I've enjoyed the other books about them but I think this one is my favorite! You still have the hot, steamy sex scenes but there is also a light-hearted line going through this one. At times, I actually found myself laughing at Kathryn & her reactions. At the same time, I felt for Ian. You could sense his character walking a fine line between supporting Kathryn & her marriage hang ups & being hurt over her insistence that she couldn't be married to him. I can't wait to see what Cynthia has in store for them next!

I loved this book!
I loved Jonas, the emotionally broken billionaire, who joined the club to avoid meaningful relationships, and ended up going crazy over a woman long before he met her.
I loved Sarah, who was dealing with her own intimacy issues, but just couldn't resist Jonas and his romantic pursuit.
I loved the sexy, honest emails the two exchanged, and the explosive chemistry they shared both on-line and in person.
A must read!
I marked the book ending as "happy for now", because when it ends, Sarah and Jonas's relationship is in a good place. Others may consider it a cliff-hanger, because there's some stuff going around them that explodes right before the end.

Heartwarming, hopeful, and hot !  I love Riley Hart's series, and this is a perfectly thought out addition.  Justin is in town with his dying father to connect with unknown relatives.  Drew is a new in-law, and owns a gym.  Justin feels like an outsider when coping with the new family members, and he and Drew become fast friends, then lovers.  Drew is exploring his  new bisexual tendencies, and Justin is happy to help.  While they are exploring, having super hot, steamy sex, they become deeply, emotionally involved.  Different events are taking place, family dynamics to explore, feelings about their father's cancer, their newly found siblings, inner conflicts with all the emotional turmoil for everyone.  Will Justin go back home after his father is gone?  With the tremendous relationship Drew and Justin have, it is going to hurt to walk away.  I loved these fabulous characters, the banter, the name calling, and the realistic conversations.  Exceptionally written by Riley Hart, this story is thoughtful, tender, informative, and realistic.  It is so hard to put down.  Each series tale can stand alone, but I'm glad I knew the other characters.
I highly recommend this M/M love fest.  Hint: Have tissues handy.
ENJOY !!!

I loved this book 2 as much or more than the first book in the series!  Finn & Phoebe are such a fun couple & I loved all of their witty, bickering back and forth before they both discovered it wasn't hate but love they felt for one another.  It was so glad that the characters from the first book were in the second & they are such an important part of the whole family love that is felt.  I highly recommend this series with humor, witty comment, romance, love & some spice for good measure!

Warning, have a cold shower nearby for this one.  The intimate scenes were very steamy, exciting, frequent and intense.  I loved the way Logan and Abby connected physically.  They seriously could not be near each other without touching one another, so freaking hot.  Then he met his daughter, and Logan totally made me swoon.  His immediate acceptance and unconditional love for Jenny was golden.  He wanted to give her all the love and importance he missed out on.  So sweet.

I enjoyed Nina's storytelling in this book.  Although some may think it is a story to good to be true, it is filled with hope, love, a sense of wanting to belong and be loved, and family.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher.

A great read!! Ms Knight has grabbed hold of this story and really run w/it. I had a really hard time putting it down to get some sleep. She has done a wonderful job of building the rapport between the hero & the heroine. You can feel the frustration, & the confusion Jesse experiences as she tries to figure out the enigma that is Dylan Wolf. One minute they are laughing or seriously close o taking that step that leads them behind closed doors, & the next they are bantering back & forth as to whether Jesse is indeed the innocent in all this. The mystery surrounding Dylan grows, & has you seriously trying to figure him out. Is he playing a game, or does he seriously feel something for Jesse? The story is coming together very nicely. And Ms Knight sure does know how to leave you hanging on the edge of your seat wanting the next book in the series before you finish this one. Definitely a two thumbs up & a must read for those who like their books a "little" steamy!!!

5+++ amazing stars!

A story where the girl is the one that sleeps around, commitment phobic & just plain scared of a relationship was different & refreshing. Em wasn't a very likable person. She was frustrating as hell!

She had three rules:
1- Never sleep with someone that a friend has feelings for
2- Never sleep with someone who is in a known relationship.
3- Never sleep with someone more than three times.

Jaxon Riley just moved to their school & is best friends with her best friend, Cole. He doesn't seemed fazed with what she was & her reputation. He was determined to break through her barrier. And, OH MY GOD, was he delectable! He's tough yet sweet, territorial yet gentle, frustrated with her yet extremely patient & SEXY!

I couldn't put this book down, at all! Which meant very little sleep but it was totally worth it.

I, somehow, managed to understand & like Emerson. I fell more in love with Jax ( and of course, Jace!). There was serious uncertainty, a lot of frustrating back & forth. There was angst & drama before Emerson realized she wanted more with Jax... that she was capable of more with this gorgeous, hot, sexy & kind man! Who wouldn't?!

NA books aren't my usual read but this was just phenomenal! Loved it! I'm very glad I gave this a go.

Fell in love with Cole, too. Loved how he was always there for Em, no questions asked. I was so happy he finally got together with Quinn. Squeeee!

Can't wait to read Jace's story!  He, certainly, deserves his own HEA.

A QUICKIE WITH EXPLOSIVE NAUGHTINESS GALORE!

Ellie Bancroft is a plain bookish girl with a fortune for a dowry & can only attract fortune hunters, but she went to The School of Heiresses & learned how to spot a hunter from a mile away. After her disastrous Season, she just wants to get home, but she is stuck babysitting her "never sit still" young cousins & a friend, in tow, across the English countryside in a itsy bitsy carriage! When a carriage accident breaks her Aunt Alys' leg, they are rescued by a dirty rude man for help & shelter. What they get is the Black Baron, who supposedly killed his older brother for the title. All Martin wants is for the loud brats, their mom & the curvy heiress Ellie to leave his estate ASAP, but he has a meddling butler who soon causes mayhem. So we have "seeking trouble" kids between the ages of 11 to 5, a grumpy & rude Martin, sweet smelling Ellie, Christmas decoration from HADES, passionate fighting leading into pantie melting kisses, a barn filled with explosives, light filling his dark home, meddling butler, Hugget, causing much needed havoc & a night of tangled sheets, lips & limbs! Can Martin believe he is worthy of Ellie's love? Is Ellie able to defy her family for her Black Baron? Did Martin killed his brother? Was it an accident? How much meddling will Hugget do for his pseudo son? Does anything explode besides Ellie & Martin?

I have always loved Ms. Jeffries School of Heiresses & I was thrilled to find book #4.5. Her writing style of HILARIOUSNESS aplenty, great characters, lots of meddling & opposites attract romance will always make me hit that EVIL BUY BUTTON! Ellie may of been plain, but she finally learned she deserved her everything & she had to fight on many fronts to get Martin in her life. Martin was a deeply scarred hero with guilt eating him up from the inside & out, but his heart was never able to completely close because Hugget kept bombing his heart's wall with his own fatherly love. Now this romance would never of happened without Hugget meddling & his half truths galore, so he is the FAIRY GODDUDE in this tale. The kids were the comedians of this tale & Ms. Jeffries is a genius adding Charlie Dickens into her story & his ending line was perfectly played! This was a quickie romance, but Ms. Jeffries didn't skip the NAUGHTINESS with yummy undies scorching kisses & EXPLOSIVE action when they finally made it to a bed! Ms. Jeffries was the author I cut my romance baby teeth on & she will always have a special place in my heart, but she totally EARNS my top score of 5 fingers up & 10 toes & I can't wait to read more of her powerful & heart warming romances in my future!

ARC Review........

Carly & Kip gets their story on Christmas with You, a Due South series novella.  In the continuing story of the people on Stewart Island, you get to know these two characters, especially Kip.

Carly & Kip are very attracted to one another. But it's all been flirting so far, mostly on Kip's end. Kip has a reputation of being a Ladies Man, but you soon quickly realize otherwise.  Carly & Kip sizzles!!!

You get the added bonus of knowing Kip's family as well, as they all flock to Stewart Island to spend Christmas with their "Miracle" baby.  Kip has a really hilarious & loving family.  They instantly like Carly.  Kip's Mom plays cupid as well. You get a feeling you will be seeing this family in the future!

Carly tries very, very hard to mend her relationship with step-brother, West. In the past books of the series, West seriously has an issue with Carly. You find out why in this book. I swear it made me teary eyed when these two finally have a heart to heart.  Kip also has an issue with his family & we find out why.  Carly & Kip amid all the family drama are meant to be.  There's a really cute scene with Santa & his helper....OOOOOOO LA LA, does it get steamy!!!! I mean the steam factor is on the scale of a million!!! LOL LOL.....

I just love these characters!!! As always, Tracey Alvarez has done an AWESOME job of letting us peek into this island town's residents' lives.  It really feels like you really know people like this in your own lives & can relate soooo much.  I'm definitely looking forward to future books in the series!

Omg why did I wait so long to start this book?? I one-clicked when it was free & I loved the cover! I freaking devoured this book! It was funny, super sexy & damn, I love J. Daniels & her writing  Dylan is a feisty bakery owner with one of her besties Joey as her assistant. He was my favorite, cracking me up often!! Enter hot as sin Reese, whom she meets at the wedding of her ex-boyfriend. Can a casual hookup at a wedding be just that? Or will more feelings get involved? There were many times I just wanted to shake Dylan and her girly emotions...but hey, we all have them and can totally relate to those! Loved this book & will be downloading more of this author for realz
