Megan Volpert does it again!

Just read, "Only Ride", by Megan Volpert. A wonderful book, edging on the autobiographical, but spinning through the definitions of the self. A portrait of a generation in a way, a kunstlerroman in another, but pure poetry (in prose) throughout. A great read even for non-poetry readers. Kudos to Volpert for such an incisive book. She writes her shorts with an aim to turn and disrupt expectations; in other words, a poetry of surprise. Whereas she invoked Warhol in her last book, bringing the voice of the advanced of her generation, here she invokes the self.  Always surprising, and full of verve, wit, and, dare I say "cunning", Volpert has made an example of prose poetry at its best--and it's a fun good read as well.

I fell in love with Trying Not To Love You the first book in this series and waited with baited breath for Easy To Love You. Ms. Megan did not disappoint!! The emotional roller coaster I expected to jump on during this read was there from the get go. Page 1 had me hooked and feeling all the turmoil I knew was coming. By half way through I had experienced all the emotions I was expecting a shit ton more! Wonderful job Megan, you delivered a 5 Star sequel. I have a new "go to" author to add to my list. Thank you for that!!

I absolutely loved this book. The plot was fantastic, characters were developed well.  I cannot wait to read the next book in this series!

Megan thinks she is an ordinary girl, with serious anger issues.  After another bout of her anger, her mother brings her to a secluded house and the next thing she knows, her mom is gone.  Megan has to now navigate a new world without her mother and try to figure out why she is so angry.  What she doesn't know is that her anger may just help find a killer.

Great read!

I hadn't read a Megan Erickson book in a long time and I'm so glad I pulled this book out my TBR! It was the perfect book to read after a reading slump, I couldn't stop reading, the characters and plots were both funny and interesting.

The way these two meet is super hot and every encounter after that just get hotter and hotter, it was a lot of fun to read how they found a way to get in each others lives and accept the support and care of the other.

Truly a wonderful book, I'm so glad I decided to read this series, I knew Miss Erickson would never disappoint me.

Megan Linski is one of my all time favorite authors so I knew I had to get my hands on this book... and I LOVED it! A truly incredible adventure story with fun, fantastical characters, then sprinkle in a little danger and some romance, and you have one heck of a story. It really had it all and it draws you in from the first chapter. Fliss is such a kooky heroine who you can't help but root for and Smok may be a bit of a hard exterior dragon, but ultimately has a good heart. I thoroughly enjoyed their story. Also, I wasn't aware of the Polish legend it was loosely based on, but I want to look into it now. Looking forward to book 2 of the series!

I voluntarily read a Review Copy of this book. All opinions stated are solely my own.

I've read all three books in this series and am really impressed by the developing plot and characters in the stories.  I highly suggest reading the books in order so you can understand how characters have evolved and gone from point A to point B.

Megan Sawyer has thoroughly moved from the legal practice she left at the beginning of books one.  She is now a farmer and owns a diner in the small town of Winsome, PA.  She is trying to make a go of it and figure out how to bring in much needed revenue during the winter months.  She's also in the midst of a developing relationship with the town vet after being crushed when her beloved young husband died in service to his country several years before.

There comes to town a family who had left years before, The Fox family.  Megan gets pulled into their world when she stops to help Becca Fox who is stranded by the side of the road.

From that small beginning, the plot careens into non-stop action.  There are twists and turns and finding the whodunnit and why grabbed my attention and would not let go.  The plot encompasses a wide variety of people and time-frame but its shuddering conclusion is all that I could hope for in a mystery and it was complete without any questions left unanswered.

Having said that, there is a bit of a teaser for more personal development at the end of the book, so I am pleased to know that there will be more books in this outstanding and evolving storyline.

I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.

Beavers and Yetis and Weiners... Oh My.

The Pucked crew is back! They continue to be funny, sexy, and a little more intriguing. The core of this story is about Randy and Lily (which is my favorite Pucked couple).  It's about their relationship has grown since they accepted their feelings with another.  However, we get glimpses of where Alex and Violet are.  How Sunny and Miller are doing.

The intriguing parts... What's behind the moods coming from Lance? What's the deal with Darren and Charlene?

I love that Ms. Hunting provides her readers with a "after happily ever after.." stories.  LOVE IT! Pucked Under is an example that after the "I love yous" the true relationship begins and the "I love yous" are seen more than said.

If you love this series, this book will not disappoint.  I hated having to put the book down, it's a page turner for sure.

Another fantastic book by Megan Smith! Her stories really draw you in making you want more.  Yes, the ending was sad, BUT in real life everything isn't perfect or happy.  The ending gave her characters a real life feeling.

I can't believe that after beating her cancer, she managed to write such amazing, compelling story. Not just that, but in only in 5 weeks of work. That's INSANE.

With this book she took me from to break my heart as she never done before, to make me laugh so hard. I got to say that I ADORE Megan. She became my favorite heroine in the series so far, not that I don't love the rest, because I do, they all are strong, amazing, and brave women. Megan know what she wants and she's not afraid to do whatever it takes to get it! and she got it!

Ryder, oh gosh! that man broke my heart in so many pieces. The guilt eating him up is heart-wrenching. One could thought that after reading several stories of Marines suffering from PSTD, the heart would toughen up, but nooooooooooo. I think, at least in my case, my heart breaks easier. Definitely, I got a thing for torment and wounded heroes. I can't resist them.

This book got plenty of good plot twists! That I remember there are at least 2 or 3 moments that I didn't see coming. At first, I thought I had pretty good idea to where things could go, but I was so wrong. Love that feeling when an author surprises you in ways you don't expect.

Being an standalone novel, unlike the rest, this book is a great entry to the Rescue Me series for those unfamiliar with it. Of course I advice them it's a lot better when you read ALL the books from the beginning [FYI: a bundle with the prequel and the 1st novel in eBook you can get it FREE] that way the little details we get of the other characters in the series get a whole new meaning. Believe me!

If I was desperate to read Dream before, now I am ever more!!

And talking about wanting the books coming next, OMG! after Dream I NEED that Kally starts working on the other series she promised us, the one where Grant's story is, Pamela's novella (another promise from Kally) can wait. I'm so desperate need to know the deal about Grant. The tiny bit she was on this book made my curiosity about her go beyond the roof... way up!!

This book really is everything you expect it to be and more. I should know better but Mimi Jean Pamfiloff is constantly surprising me with some of crazy [expletive deleted x2] she writes. I love it. I love being taken off guard, I had busted out laughing at several parts in this book because she takes me by surprise. That's one reason I love reading her books. This is a standalone you don't have to read the previous series, Accidentally...Yours, or the first book in the series Immortal Matchmakers Inc. Everything you need to know is in the book. Cimil is so crazy you don't know if their is actual method to her madness or if she's just doing it to [expletive deleted] with you or if she really is just that bat- poop crazy. 

Charlotte is afraid of the things that go bump in the night, she has a hard time letting people get close because she's afraid they might think she is crazy. Tommaso's salvation is resting on the shoulders of his one true mate, Charlotte. He has to convince her that she can trust him. But as it always goes anything that can go wrong will go wrong. This is a crazy topsie turby wild ride full of golf, wacky clothes, leather pants, sexy sexy teaser sex. I love Tommaso he is willing to risk everything for those he loves his loyalty is so strong especially now after her has been bad and has lost everything. Everything Charlotte thinks about her monsters is wrong, and it takes one crazy redheaded goddess to set things straight. 

I love that Emma and Voltan... I mean Guy, have a part in this book as they are both such a big part in Tommaso's past.

Zac you are a naughty, naughty boy!

Cimil, do Funyons have a shelf life?

As always Diane Mott Davidson has wrote another GREAT book. Her style of wit and her way with suspense is what makes her a great read. I have been reading Miss Diane's books for years and I have to tell you that from the time I finish the last book, to getting the new one, is like waiting for Christmas morning. I would recommend this and all her books.  The recipes in the books are always fun to fix and taste wonderful.
I met Miss Diane at a book signing for Crunch Time and I could have listened to her for hours. She knows her craft.
Thanks for another GREAT read. Looking forward to the next one.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Crunch-Time-A-Novel-of-Suspense-Goldy-Schulz/dp/0061348155/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Crunch Time: A Novel of Suspense (Goldy Schulz)</a>

How is it possible to get hotter and more intense with each book?!  Not sure how, but Christina managed to crank up the heat in the second book of her Bad B*tch series.  Washington Granade, other wise known as Wash, is intense, confident and is the very definition of Alpha Male.  He is,simply put... sex on legs.

Caroline Montreat is known as the "class clown", she has recently graduated from law school and is new to the firm.  She has recently earned her way into the second chair on a big murder case, working along side Mr. Hard*ss himself.  The firm has a strict "No Fraternizing" policy, which Wash was very instrumental in putting in place.  Can he stick to his own rules?

The heat between those two is approaching the temperature of the sun.  I loved the angst between them, I loved everything about these two.

This was a compelling story that had me eating out of the palm of its hand.  I devoured it in one sitting, started at 3:15pm and finished around 10:30pm.  There were so many twists and turns and at one point I was sitting there slack jawed, as I did not see that one coming at all!

It's not often I mention supporting characters, but I will in this case because Terrell Lynch was perfect!  Great supportive friend and super funny!  For me, he was just that little bit extra icing on the cake!  Loved him!

I absolutely loved this story and I am totally looking forward to the third instalment of this series!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Trent and Blanca are amazing! Talk about a rocky start! But the big bear and tough FBI agent finally let down those walls and clicked. I won't ruin it for anyone but it is another must-read of Meg's!

Megan Erickson's books are always so nicely balanced between funny and poignant, sexy and sweet, angst and joy.  Kat and Alec are no exception.  They have some serious obstacles to overcome, and watching them work through them is pure pleasure.  I'm also hooked on a couple of the side characters, and am looking forward to reading their stories as well.

Can we talk about just how much I love this series? (And, literally, everything Megan writes.) But this series!? It speaks to me on so many levels. I love that her heroes and heroines are different than so many of the ones you see in romance books. I love me some nerds. Of course, I also love dirty talkin' heroes, so... bonus points. I love the humor and heart Megan brings to her books and I'm always guaranteed a fair few feels while reading. I got more feels than I expected from Playing with Her Heart, but that's just one of the things I loved most about it.

My god, I loved Grant and Chloe. Like, everything about them. Grant was all kinds of swoony. I've recently come to discover I have a bit of a "thing" for single dads, especially when they're amazing like he is. I adored his relationship with his daughter. They were too cute. When it came to Chloe, however, Grant was passionate and a little bit dirty in that way that makes me weak in the knees. Chloe tugged at my heartstrings just as much as Grant did, but for different reasons. She was vulnerable, used to hiding behind a costume and convinced no one would want boring Chloe. She carried a lot of guilt about the death of her sister, despite having nothing to do with it and her family was a big, complicated mess. My heart just ached for her. She came into her own during this book and it was wonderful.

Grant and Chloe had an unconventional, if hot as hell, start. (High five for smokin' hot cosplay/role playing sexy times!) And, as much as I loved all that, my favorite part was reading as these two got to know each other, opened up and saw each other as more than characters in a sexy role play. I loved Grant's determination to make Chloe see what they could have together and that he really did see her. I liked how Grant's daughter came into play and, hell, even Chloe's moody brother Ethan made me happy in this book.

So yeah, I loved Playing for Her Heart. It gave me all the heat I expect from a Brazen book, but it came with a whole lot of nerdy humor and amazing heart. I read at least 3/4 of it with a huge grin on my face. It made me blush (and wish I had a Grant of my own), laugh and, yes, even cry a little. I was head over heels for the romance and the character growth made my heart happy.

I'm so glad to know this series will continue. I'm definitely not ready to give up these characters and the awesome, sexy, nerdy world they live in. I don't even know whose book is next  I kinda hope it's Ethan  but regardless, I'll be ditching whatever I'm doing the minute I get my hands on it.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
