Touching Scars by Stacy Borel seriously blew me away. Timber and Kat are an amazing couple and I loved every minute of their story. Heartbreaking, emotional and truly amazing, Touch Scars is one of my favorite reads of the year.

Katherine Pierce had an extremely tough time in high school. She was picked on and had to endure an unbearable trauma at such a young age. After graduation, she moved away so she could hide from her past and try to pick back up the pieces of her life. Kat my have changed on the outside, but on the inside, she was still the insecure girl still trying to heal from the scars that she has gained.

Timber Nelson was in the popular circle of kids in high school. Not because he had money like the rest of his friends, but because he was good looking and was talented at sports. With limited funds, he joined the Army to get out of his small town. Now, after serving two tours in Iraq, hes not the man he was when he went in. Timber is suffering from PTSD from his last tour especially.

When Timber lands a job at an oil field in a small town a few hours from where he used to live, he is completely caught off guard to see the one girl he felt the need to protect in high school, Katherine Pierce. There is an undeniable attraction between the two, and a safe friendship forms that slowly turns into more. Secrets are revealed between them, and they learn that not all scars are on the surface.

The story between Timber and Kat is amazing. The painful past that both of them endured broke my heart completely. The strength that they each possessed was unbelievable and I loved that in their own way, the each wanted to protect and heal the other. Touching Scars is a must read! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

From This Moment On is the second book in the Sullivan Series and oh.....my.....God.....I loved this book! Devoured it in two sittings and ignored all responsibilities  (apologies to my family for not having clean clothes) to make sure I could give this book the proper attention it deserved.

Nicola has had it with her lonely existence as pop princess "Nico".  Sure it's glamorous and she loves to write and perform her music but when the lights on the stage turn off and the crowds are gone it's a solitary life lived in hotel rooms with no one to see who the real Nico is.  After being hurt the last time she trusted someone, she's weary to ever let anyone in again.  But tonight, after staring out of her hotel window, Nico has decided she's going to throw caution to the wind and find someone for a hot one-night stand to make her lose herself and forget all her troubles. Only the last thing she expects is to find a smoking hot stranger who makes her want to be more than the one night of passion she had planned.

Marcus Sullivan is tired of being the ever responsible, always perfect, oldest brother of the Sullivan clan.  Now, the life he thought was perfect is crumbling around him.  After leaving his brother's engagement party, he realizes he needs to figure this mess out....only not tonight.  Tonight is for finding a warm body to spend the night with and try to erase the hurt he experienced this afternoon at the hands of his now EX-fianc.  What he wasn't expecting was Nicola.  She's walked into his life and turned everything upside-down....and he unexpectedly loves every minute of it.

I'll say it again; I loved this book.  Nicola is such an amazing character.  She's written so well and with such feeling that I actually physically felt her loneliness and her craving to be loved for who she is, and not the image created for the public. She is such a fighter and has amazing strength and courage.  Marcus is a-freaking-mazing.  He's held his family together in the years since his father has died and doesn't realize that it's his turn to find his own true happiness in life.  He is so wholly male and dominating, yet has a softer side that I think even he hadn't realized he had.  Together, they are HOT!!  Marcus, and his "I'm in charge" attitude is freaking delicious.  Some of the scenes in this book, with Marcus giving Nicola commands...holy hell...I still get the chills thinking about it.  Simply delish.  I will be diving in to the rest of this series and can't wait to see if any of the other Sullivan brothers make me swoon like Marcus does.  Thank you, Bella, for another yummy read!

What a GREAT read!  I read this on the recommendation of some bloggers and I was not disappointed.  The story totally captivated me and I could NOT put it down.  The characters are amazing; Colton is a perfect damaged bad boy that I just want to hug and Rylee is a strong independent woman.  I love that K. made her strong and not wimpy and meak.  The other characters are just as amazing and the occupation that Rylee is in and the boys she takes care of just melted my heart.  I had NO idea that this was not a stand alone book and I was reading it while visiting my son, I knew I was toward the end and kept waiting for everything to get wrapped up.  Then it was midnight and I was reading, my heart in my throat, holding my breath, sniffling and it just ended.  Oh goodness, I almost through my Kindle across the room!  Perfection!!  The way K. makes us FEEL the story is amazing!  I definitely recommend this!

4.5 Thrilling Stars!!

The idea that Matt could be anything of mine is just mind-blowing, to say the least. But he could be my president. He was my first crush. He is my boss, and my candidate. And right now he is my very breath because nothing has ever felt as exciting to me as this man, this man in moment, sipping his coffee, leaning back in his chair, watching me with such lazy eyesas if he has no intention of going anywhere.

I cant not pursue her. I cant give her up yet. You probably think its an obsessionbut its more than that. She means more than that. She ground me. She obsesses me. She fuels me.

Oh, Mr President!! How youve stolen my heart! With your sexy words and your undeniable charm. You have captivated and seduced me and left me wanting. No needing more. This book has exceeded my expectations and has given me things that I never knew I wanted. And I have to say, if Mr Hamilton existed in real life, hed without a doubt have my vote

From the very first page, I was sucked into this book. The writing is smart and entertaining. It had me hanging on every single word and dying to know what would happen next. This book is fun. Its sexy. Its forbidden and it is oh, so good!! I absolutely could not get enough of this book. I could not and would not put this story down.

As someone who doesnt know a lot about politics and has a hard time getting into them, I wish there were more books like this. Not only did I get an amazing story, but at the same time, I feel as though I actually might have learned something. And that is always a positive in my book.

All I can say is that I loved this book. I loved every single moment of it and can not wait to get my hands on the epic conclusion to this story.

I absolutely loved Defining Moments and all of the fabulous characters, so to say I was anxiously awaiting Finding Our Forever is an understatement. I'm happy to say it did not disappoint! I loved Eli and Sara and seeing their relationship develop. Their story was sweet and intriguing and had me glued to my kindle. I also loved learning more about the other characters, especially Eli's twin Ben. I'm hoping for his story next! Another fantastic book by Andee Michelle!

This is exactly the kind of book you get lost in, you start reading and lose track of your own world and time. I was totally entranced from beginning to end, reading as quickly as I could manage and now I'm left waiting for more! There was a smoothness to the writing that absolutely anyone can enjoy. It absolutely hit my every emotion and captivated me from the very first page until the very last. You'll be very pleased you picked it up!

Wait.  What?  NO!  It cant end there!  I need more!  I need more right now!

Good grief  I cant even begin to tell you how sucked into Sugar Daddy I was.  So involved that I came to the last page and had a moment of panic because  NOOOOO!  You cant leave me hanging out here like that!

*deep breath*

Well played, Ms. Bennett.

Dang.  That was good.

I was a little nervous to read it because I tend to like the softer, fuzzier side of Sawyer Bennett over her edgier offerings  but it didn't take long for my nerves to settle.  I literally could not put this book down.  I was completely hooked; gripped by Selas story, and entranced (and sometimes enchanted) by her relationship with Beck.

I found myself reading breathlessly, always waiting for the other shoe to drop.  I wasn't sure what to make of Beck and while I wanted to trust him  I was never entirely sure that I couldor should.  I adored him, but feared him.  The relationship he formed with Sela was intense, sexy, and unexpectedly sweet.  I rooted for them and now*more deep breaths*I wait with baited breath to see how this all plays out.  Im gutted.  And nervous.  And dying for more!

Is there anything Sawyer Bennett cant write?

I mean  talk about trying something a little different and then knocking it out of the park.  This book was phenomenal.  A practically perfect reader experience.  No emotion was left untouched and I am anxious and beyond excited (and if Im being honest  a little twitchy) to get more of this story.  Sugar Daddy was a perfect balance of scorching (filthy) hot, emotional, smart and compelling.  Im not sure I can properly express my need to know what happens next  I need it!  Now!

Lets face it  I have a Sugar addiction and I don't think itll be cured any time soon!

I am totally in love! Can I just say Rush Too Far was just as good if not better than Fallen Too Far. Seeing everything from Rush's perspective was both heart-wrenching and beautiful. His thoughts and feelings about Blaire and the connection he had for her were so....pure. It was good to learn his intentions and how much he fought the inevitable.  Rush Too Far was a masterpiece; woven like a beautiful quilt, put together expertly, and executed beautifully. It was raw, intense, full of angst, drama, and some laugh-out-loud moments. It was also eye-opening, keeping me on the edge of my seat to experience firsthand what Rush experienced as his and Blaire's journey unfolded.

Abbi Glines definitely did an amazing job with this book. She told Rush's POV beautifully! It was great to go back to the beginning to see why Rush pursued Blaire. This is a must read for all the Rosemary Beach fans. This series is such an emotionally charged series taking you on highs and lows...Everyone should experience storytelling like this. I devoured Rush Too Far in one day...It was that damn good! I truly didn't want this baby to end. I wanted more....so much more of Rush! I admit I have a serious Rush crush! I mean who doesn't, right? That man....Mmm Mmm yummy!

This story was absolutely perfect! I wish I could tell you more but I don't want to spoil any details. Ya'll know I do not like to spoil anything for you but what I will say is BUY THIS BOOK! Trust me you will not regret reliving the story through Rush's eyes! Can you say....swoonworthy ;) I didn't think it was possible to love Rush Finlay anymore than I did but boy oh boy was I wrong....I am absolutely positively in love with bad boy Rush Finlay! Happy Reading! xoxo

First off, I am a truly dedicated fan of Julie Lessmans. I have read each of her books at least a dozen times, and I was awaiting the release of Surprised by Love for months! To sum up all of my emotions, I will simply say that I was not disappointed in the least. Lessman has truly outdone herself with the latest novel about Meg (a bookworm that I can personally relate to) and her older brother figure Bram. The novel also perfectly, and I mean perfectly follows the relationship of swoon-worthy Logan McClare and Cait. In every single novel, Lessman captures me with incredible imagery, witty word use, jaw-dropping plot twists, and emotional dialogue. Every single member of the McClare clan captures my heart, and I love each of them like my own flesh and blood.

Oh, and did I mention that I read this book in literally 5 hours? True story. I did not put it down. Lessman had me hypnotized and enthralled from the start. I eagerly await her next installment. If one is in the mood to laugh (literally out loud), cry (also literally), swoon (definitely), and dig deeper into the relationship of the One and Only Lord, Julie Lessman is the one to go to. She is and will forever be my favorite author, and I will eagerly await her next novel.

I needed a minute, or maybe hundreds of minutes, after I finished this book to collect my thoughts. Perfect Love Story came out swinging me into the lowest of lows, but I'll be damned if this book didn't just whip me straight into a maelstrom of a million different emotions. I'm already accustomed to being emotionally battered by Natasha Madison. But Hailey and Jensen are something truly special. They are real characters, with real emotions that tug on your heartstrings and then turn around and induce a frenzy of chemistry seconds later. This book did not fail to call for my rapt attention from the minute I meet the main characters until the minute they find their well-deserved happily ever after.

But those moments only benchmarked the beginning and end of Perfect Love Story, what took place in between was a love story that came with a lot of hard work, a lot of trust, and a lot of sweet and sexy moments. Hailey and Jensen didn't have it easy leading into this book, nor did it get any easier after we meet them. But they're both feisty characters that made the end result so very worth it.

Everything about this book was amazing, and what was amazing most of all (outside of the love between Jensen and Hailey) was the setup Natasha Madison gave for the two upcoming books in the series and those couples. The second one, I'm so excited for - the wit and banter between Gabe and Crystal as me all kinds of ready... as for book three... I haven't seen who it will be about, but I have a very strong idea, and I'm HERE FOR IT!! End of story: a MUST-READ and one of my favorite books of the year so far.

Happy Reading!

And it was worth every minute! What a ride this set takes you on! Sigh. I loved all the dramatic twists and turns....and I won't tell because I don't want to spoil it all...but there are Lots! Every moment is rich, twisty, rewarding, dramatic fun! I loved the friendships, relationships, and The Love!  What I love Most of all is how strong Lily and Gavin are as individual characters. I felt their pain and determination. Their whole journey is beautiful.

This book! I can't even

I am a huge S.C Stephens fan, and the moment I have given an opportunity to read the book in advance, I devoured it. Oh, how mouthwatering and heart leaping the scenes I just read. The characters sexual tension is scorching. I love it!! I enjoyed every moment and I just had so much fun. With all the racing going on comes with my heart and mind racing what's gonna happen next. The anticipation is building as the story progresses and I could not ask for more. This is more than just racing.. this is more than just what I read and seriously I feel like there's more to come. There might be drama but not over the top. Other issues were negligible too and if there is one, I'm pretty sure you could not really feel it. Don't get me wrong, I love it and that's pretty obvious but as I finish the book, I feel like there's really more to anticipate and I just had the taste of a big and epic surprise coming. *hoping ;)

Furious Rush is more than just heart pounding but also adrenaline rushing and I so love it to pieces. I was hooked right from the very beginning and what was supposed to be few chapters to read for a night became whole effing book because I cannot put it down. I literally binge read the book. I was turning the pages like a mad woman and was on the edge every effing time and that from the fact that I don't want it to end. That cover though, Holy smokes!!!

Seriously, S.C Stephens, did not disappoint. She just had a way of delivering lines that captures not just attention but the hearts of her readers. I am invested and up until now several hours later, I am still edgy and I am obsessing with the book. I keep on searching any hints of BOOK TWO because really I want a BOOK TWO.

It's a must read!

Stop right now and go one click this book! You won't regret it! I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this book! I loved everything about this story; it was funny  man was it freaking funny -, it was hot, it was sweet, it was everything youd want in a RomCom. The storyline, as always with this author, was well written and the words flowed effortlessly. I didn't want to put the book down! I HAD to know who she picked; the Suit, the Rebel, the Jock or if she decided to just get to know herself better.

I laughed so hard at the leading character, Noely. She is smart, funny, sassy and just a great character. I couldn't help but love her. But there was so much more to the story, I fell in love with all the side characters as well. Each of them brought something to the story. I cant wait to read more and looking forward to more stories from some of the characters*wink, wink, nudge, nudge*

Thats all Im saying about this book. Its good, goodness, is it good! Worth more than five stars!
