Marie Hall just made James Hook even HOTTER.

Oh my gosh, what do you want me to say?  I love the Kingdom series and I greatly admire Marie Hall.  I adore the world she's created for us to get lost in, and my view on the 'bad boys' of fairy tales has changed significantly.

I was most excited to read about James Hook.  He's one of my favorite villains (partially Jason Isaac's fault-can I get an amen?).  I really, REALLY enjoyed this story.  There's a lot of steam and sweetness and my lord, can I have a pirate yet?

I think Marie Hall is an incredible writer, and I truly believe she's the creator of grown-up fairy tales, happy endings included.  She inspires me and I can only ever hope my books will be as amazing as hers one day.

Thanks for another great read, Marie! I can't wait to read more of your work in the future.  You've got a fan here. <3

OMG, I literally looked crazy reading my kindle and snorting in laughter out load. This book was every kinds of sexy, funny, fun, with a little angst and alpha too. Such a great read. Of course, you expect great with Hunting, but this is very different, at least in my opinion than anything she's delivered before.

Marie Hall has taken a character that we all know as the bad guy and made him the hero. Bad boy lovers around the world unite with me and say "Thanks!" to Marie. Hook's Pan has a really cute premise but it is far from being a cute read. Ms. Hall managed to sneak in real depth with the tragedies her H/h have suffered. Both Hook and Trishelle have brutally lost a loved one. This gives them common ground, a place to build on when they are resistant to the matchmaking of a certain fairy godmother. I felt bad for Trishelle at first, I understand why she was brought to Hook, but I wanted him to love Trishelle for herself and not because of who she might have been. That will make sense once you read the book. I don't want to spoil.

I enjoyed Hook's Pan. Readers of the books before this one will enjoy seeing old friends, but you can read it as a stand alone. I bought Betty/Gerard's story and Alice/Mad Hatter's story this morning.

After reading and falling in love Vicious, I just had to meet Jaime! Defy was seriously perfect. This may have been a novella, but don't let the length turn you away. It had some serious steam, and was HOT in its entirety!

Ballet has always come first. Before men and before me. For a while Id actually thought it was enough. Until it wasnt.

I love reading strong heroines, and thats exactly what Melody was. She had some heartbreaking moments in her past. She was a little lost at first, but I loved getting to experience her taking back control and finding passion in her life again.

Next time you bend over like this, Ms. G, make sure Im not behind you, or thisll end up on National Geographic: When Predators Strike.

And Jaimehe was possessive, but totally transparent when it came to his feelings. I would catch myself forgetting he was eighteen--he seemed so mature for his age. The way he acted, talked, both casuallyand to Melody. He also had such a huge influence on the people in his life. I LOVED him!

Yes, Mel. Thats exactly why I left without explaining. Because I think about you before I think about myself. Always remember that, Little Ballerina. Always.

Defy was one of the best student/teacher relationships Ive read. Melody and Jaimes chemistry was off the charts--hot, raw, and totally forbidden. I only wish their story was a little longerI needed MORE of Jaime! I seriously love these HotHoles, and I cant wait to fall in love with the next one in this series!

Deeper had me deeply addicted to it.

So amazing. Definitely one of the best NA I have ever read.

Caroline and West's story will have you glued to it and you will be reading it fast.

I read this book in one sitting. I seriously couldn't put it down.

The angst will keep you on the tip of your toes. The swoon moments will have you sighing over and over because they are just so sweet and beautiful. The chemistry will make you gasping for air because it is so HOT.

All of this is wrapped up in an unputdownable package that you will want to re-read over and over again.

The writing in this book is absolutely phenomenal and it blew me away.

Until Harder is released, I will be in total suspense. It can't come fast enough.

Oh my....

So, after reading the first book in this series I was convinced there was absolutely, without a doubt, no way in hell Nikki Sloane could create a better alpha male than Logan.

I was wrong.

So very wrong.

Enter Dominic Ward.

This sexy alpha male will sneak up on you. Sometimes I don't even think he realizes just how amazing he really is (and yes, I realize that I make it seem like he's a real guy capable of human emotion).

One minute he's nervous, shy, awkward, and blushing. The next minutes he's dominating, possessive, and melting your panties off with his naughtiness. I've read plenty of books recently and this man is in a league all his own.

And let's not forget about Peyton. She's brash, sassy, adventurous, and clearly thrown off her game when Dominic walks into her life.

This story is absolutely brilliant. I'm still reeling that somehow I didn't know about these amazing stories. ONE-CLICK these books, and automatically one-click the rest of the series too. I have no doubt in my mind that they'll all be fantastic!

The hottest book I've read all year!

Dark, devious, and delicious, Lachlan Mount is a shadowy, enigmatic figure. King of the underbelly of New Orleans with a powerful and deadly reputation, his name is one everyone knows. And one everyone respects and fears.

Intelligent, business savvy Keira Kilgore is tenacious in her drive to make her familys Seven Sinners Distillery thrive again after years of barely hanging on. The first woman to be at the helm of a business that has been in her family for generations, she is determined to make their Irish Whiskey a winner and prove to her father that he made the right decision in choosing her to lead the company.

When Mount appears at Seven Sinners Distillery to collect a five hundred thousand dollar debt hes owed, its a debt Keira cant afford to pay. She has two choices, sign over the business that has been in her family for generations or submit to his every desire.

He will own her. And Mount always gets what he wants.

This book... Oh, this book! It's ovary-exploding, panty-melting hotness. My first ever Meghan March book and it left my Kindle smokin. Keira is a strong, confident woman who gives as good as she gets, which makes the chemistry between Keira and Mount incendiary. The psychological interplay with the dark twists and turns in the plot left me stunned. I did not want to put this book down.

If you like a hot, unpredictable book with dark themes and strong characters, I highly recommend this one. This is book one of the Mount trilogy. And with the way that cliffy left me hanging, I cant wait to find out what happens next in Defiant Queen.

Well, before I start my review I need to take a minute to cool myself down and warn you to take hold of your panties because Stuck In Between is one hell of a sexy, steamy, spank-me-very-much, mouth watering story which I lapped up like the greedy girl I am!!

This is one intense read and, to be honest, I would give it 5 stars just for the sex scenes but this story has so much more to offer. Blakely Bennett's writing style draws you in and makes you connect and fall in love with the characters she has created. Her words are hot and passionate which, in turn, leave you breathless and wanting more and boy does she give you more! The sex scenes are so steamy and descriptive you can visualise it like a movie playing in you head - if I had a remote control to go with it I would be pressing the re-wind, slow motion and pause button all day.

So we have Jacqs, our leading lady who, if she had a Facebook page her relationship status would be set to 'its complicated' .....and so much more!! Jacqs is in love with her best friend and lover Bond who basically have had a "friends with benefits" kinda relationship but with Bond seeming to reap all the benefits leaving Jacqs with none and feeling unfulfilled and lonely. This is all about to change when Bond's best friend Red decides to sweep Jacqs off her feet and offer her so much more.

Blakely has given us two strong Alpha males!! Lucky us!! But Red, for me, took centre stage for being romantic and hot while oozing sexual and very primal energy (Just the way I like my men). Red has been secretly in love with Jacqs for years, and when he sees a window of opportunity to grab Jacqs attention, and anything else of hers he can gets his hands on, he wastes no more time to get what he has wanted for many years. I loved how Red brought out Jacqs' wilder, more confident, side to her character and personality that she had hidden from Bond as she had no confidence in their relationship due to Bond's commitment issues. Wow, and Red was hot and damn kinky between the sheets!!! (WARNING exploding knickers may occur).

Bond, for me at the beginning, came over very arrogant and cocky. I felt that he played on Jacqs' feelings and used their friendship to manipulate her into sleeping with him, while not giving her the commitment that she craved. Bond was a hot mess and, to be honest, once his character developed and you learned more about his tragic past, my heart went out to him. Bond really did love Jacqs in his own messed up wa, but even so, I was cheering in Red's corner most of my way through.

This is my first book by Blakely Bennett and it definitely will not be the last! I have added her to my author stalker list and TBR list as I plan to be at the front of the queue for any future books in this or, any other series.
I would highly recommend Stuck In Between if you love a book with well developed characters and story line, hot kinky sex and a messed up love story. This is definitely one to be added to your TBR list!!

Loved this book!!! I was hooked from the first page. Alexander King is an a-hole, but he is a sexy one. I would take his mess any day. And Margo Buchanan is an equally sexy female counterpart.

I loved how they were both headstrong and wanted their own way. This led to much angst and attraction. Who is going to win the battle of wits? Who is able to outwit the other with their sexual prowess? With so much sexual attraction they just explode off the pages.

Another character I thought was hilarious was Yamada. He should have his own movie. He is a clown but he uses it as a mask since he is such a smart business man with a minor in psychology. A double that.

This book had me laughing and turned on. I can't wait to read the next installment.

Holy Moly, this book is gonna light your Knickers on fire, this book is oh so sexy, Sebastian Badd is just one of those raw, sexy characters that you would kill to have you sweep you off your feet. He is just so rough around the edges but he is kind and tender and really meets his match when Dru sweeps into his life. Dru is one of those badass heroines that you would just love to be, she is tough yet vulnerable and Jasinda really gave life to these characters and they couldn't have me turning the pages of this book fast enough. The dual POV was brilliant in hearing both sides of the story and really getting into both characters and beware for some very steamy sexy bits. The sex scenes in this book are HOT and boy do they go at it, I totally loved the fun that went on between the sheets in this book, prepare to have your world rocked.

Enter Sebastian's seven brothers and this just sends the hot o meter through the roof. The banter as the brothers descend into the story, the fist fights and the general love these brothers have for each other will have you giggling and swooning and I'm sure there is a brother for everyone's taste.

This book really sets the scene for the introduction of the Badd Brothers, which I assume is gonna be a badass series, one that I cannot wait to plough through one by one.

Freaking wordgasms. That's what this book is. It's so deliciously sinful with the way it's written and I couldn't help put devour every word.

The story of Nathan and Lila is so twisted and sad, but yet their relationship was kinda hot and a little beautiful. The way their need for one another took hold, how it took over. How the flames of their desire for one another just engulfed them. It was so so hot!

But let's also talk about the way they seemed to be so good for one another. And though we don't know everything, or really anything, that happened to Nathan, we still get to see what kind of man he is and what he means to Lila. How he makes her fight her own battles.

This is my first KI Lynn book. I've met her twice and am so happy to say she is one of the nicest women out there. Who knew such a devious, erotic mind came from her! I'm kinda jealous and her ability to create a relationship like this and put it to words

'I want her pleasure and her pain and her submission and her org_sms. All of her org_sms. Every single one.'

Umm... Holy freakin' moly. It's hot all of sudden, isn't it? *wipes brow* I'm burning up. And if you read Snowed in With The Boss, be prepared to feel the same way, because this quick and dirty novella is hot enough to melt the deepest snowdriftand all the panties in the world.

Needless to say, I loved it. Every second. It had the right amount of kink, the right amount of lust and love, the right amount of tensionsexual and otherwiseand the right amount of OMG adorableness. Oh, and the PERFECT amount of heat.

Whew. It's a sexy, kinky whirlwind from start to finish, and when I wasn't practically panting, I was seriously swooning over Ten and Jane. It might be short, but there's a hell of a lot of spank-tacular story here, and damn if it didn't make me wish *I* were on the naughty list this year... Especially if Ten is the one handing out the punishment.

'...if this is what it's like to spend Christmas on the naughty list, then Santa can write my name on that sucker in permanent ink.'

OMG wow, I mean OMG. I knew this story would be intense, but it blew my mind. I was on a book hangover for a whole day before I could even begin to write this review. I mean wow. This book is Hot and incredibly sexy as sin.

His mouth is hot and tastes like chocolate. His tongue slides against mine, deeper, faster, and with each stroke he lights something dangerous inside me. Something that, once it gets burning, Im pretty sure is going to be unstoppable.
Light me up, I think. Light me up and let me fly, because Im so ready for you.

A perfect mix of sweet, hot, and sexy. Booty Call has it all including a gorgeous alpha male, an innocent heroine and mind blowing sex scenes. The second book of Forbidden Bodyguards really delivers.
We start out by meeting Alison Reid, Haileys much younger sister from Hate F@ck. Hailey is nineteen years old, still in college, still innocent, and extremely uncertain about her feelings for her sisters new bodyguard. Most of the time I liked Hailey, but there were moments that frustrated me about her immaturity, but thats what happens with a younger character. The fact that she didn't know quite how to handle such an older man actually added to their sexual tension.
Scot Mayfair is a thirty five year old, British cup of bodyguard yumminess. He is all male, all the time. But theres more to Scott that meets the eye and as the story starts to unfold we find out that Scott is much more than a bodyguard and has his own demons to fight through including wealthy family, being a spy and serious baggage. He also finds himself fighting his feelings for Alison, who is fourteen years younger and much more innocent than hes used to.
After one kiss, Scott disappears only to return with a strong urge to get closer to Alison. Soon enough, Alison is texting Scott in the middle of the night asking him to keep her company, and although Scott knows shes only using him to quench her sexual urges, he doesnt want to keep away. Alison may not understand her feelings for the hot old man, but she also cant help keeping him from sneaking into her heart. Eventually, one of them might get hurt, but why not have fun while it lasts. If the sex is that good, the love has got to be even better.

Alta did it again. This book. Sweet Holy titfire. If I didn't love her before I can guarantee I do know. I almost did a naked jig when I learned the release date of this book. Waiting for the release was painful. Yet, with pain comes pleasure and this book was quintessential pleasure. It was sublime. It blew my mind.

This book is the second in the serious. Each book focuses on new characters. Harley and Marlowe. Each character had their own baggage. Marlowe was such a strong character. I loved that she wasn't scared of Harley and instead felt safe despite his reputation. Harley. This man owned me. There was something about his darkness that drew me in. Harley was Marlowe's darkness whereas Marlowe was Harley's light. They juxtaposed themselves. How amazing is that?!?! That takes skill as a writer to perfectly balance every element and aspect of these characters ;good/bad, light/dark, Angel/monster.  Truly sublime.

Together, these two easily could have melted my kindle with their chemistry. Add in the steam and it became hotter than Satan's mistress. Some of the best scenes ever. I want all the babies in the future from these two. Lots and LOTS. Now I have to shuffle my top 5 book boyfriends and make room for the best antihero ever.

I need to keep a close eye out for the release date for the next one so I can do a jig because apparently this is something I do for this series now. I am hooked.

I was lucky and got ARC copy of the book.  It is amazing.  Who knew that ropes and knots could be so HOT. Jax is a hot man who is out to clear his name.  Jax writes hot letters to his friends on the outside.  The letters are codes so the guards don't figure out his plans.

Mia is the innocent woman that finds his letters.  She thinks he is writing a lover.  She pretends to be the lover not knowing that the letters are codes.  Jax comes to finder her to see why his friend is replying wrong to the letters.

That is when the fun begins.  I can't wait to read the next book.
