My Best Friend's Dad
by Bella Winters
Boyce was in limbo after the love of his life, Nora, died.  All he he had left was their daughter, Bella.  Vivian was lost when her parents died.  All she had left was her BFF Bella, they were only ten.  Boyce adopted Vivian and things took off from there.  Viv mooned over Boyce since she was ten, and those feelings never went away.  Boyce looked at her that way too, but not right away; they both knew it was wrong.  And what about Bella?  This is a rather tense, but sexy story.  Their age difference is 20+ years!  How's that going to work?  And the girl's are going to be going to college.  Is Boyce just missing his wife, is he just lonely?  Or Is it "empty nest" syndrome?  There's a lot of uncomfortable questions.  Is it all taboo?  What can come of all this?  How is Bella going to feel sharing her friend with her father?  Those are the questions that kept going through my mind.  You have to keep an open mind and really feel what these people are experiencing.  I like them all, but I'm still not sure how I feel....you decide.  An enlightening book.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Readers Copy of this book.

A real hot taboo story about dating  your brother's best friend!
Sexy, poignant romantic story of finding love when you least expect it and it's never planned.
Livy is a recent college grad desperately looking for employment. Despite all her best efforts she got nothing, so when her super rich, successful brother agrees to help her get an internship in a Chicago firm she has no other choice but take it. Determined to make her work speak for itself she has a very clear plan of working hard and pushing forward.
A strange like for asking a stranger for a hit of his cigarette, let to candid conversations about nothing and anything with this guy who she assumed was maybe from the mail room or a soldier looking for work.
Feeling alone and lonely in a new strange city she decides to seduce him.
Little did she know that  "Hot Smoker Guy" was really the CEO of the firm she's working for, and also her brother's best friend.
Callan Carmichael is the worst kind of womanizer, he's a land shark, a king and CEO of how own empire...and he's unapologetically proud of his all his reputations. But meeting Lilly pulls something within him he never felt before, and wanted to pursue.
I adored him!
Their banter was sharp and funny.
Their non traditional, non relationship developed despite the discovery of who he really was. After all, Livy had a well mapped out plan, and serious relationships were not a part of it, and Callan didn't do relationships.
The story flowed well and I loved the banter between Livy and Callan. Instead of the typical alpha male role, Callan was honest, sincere and challenged Livy at work and in the bedroom. I liked that she too was open and sincere with him. It was refreshing to read a romance where the characters weren't playing head games with each other.
However I felt that Callan's character was not as developed as Livy. When he told Livy that he didn't "love hard because he wasn't built that way", I felt like something was left out.

What would you do if the hottest, wealthiest boy in high school takes a liking to you and wants you to be his? Would you believe it to be true or would you think it was all a horrible joke.

This is the dilemma facing Raine. Camron is the hottest and wealthiest boy in high school and he meets her when jogging by her house one day. Following that, he takes an interest in her and the two start a relationship much to Raines disbelief. Sure Raine is pretty but she doesnt believe she is at the calibre of the other more popular girls that Camron hangs around with.

The two have been seeing each other for a couple of months when on the night of the prom after party, Camron has too much to drink and doesnt stop when she tells him to, in turn taking her virginity and leaving her pregnant. He wants nothing more to do with her after that night and refuses to answers her calls or text messages. This forces Raine to confront him at graduation in front of his family to tell him she is pregnant with his child. His parents, with the exception of his older brother Jarrett, who Raine met at the graduation party as it was held at his house, call her a gold digging whore and try to pay her off so as not to wreck any chances Camron has for a scholarship.

On top of this, Raines own parents, who are strict Catholics, have kicked her out and she has been living in her car for a week.

Then Jarrett, the one person who she never expected to, comes to her rescue by moving her into his house, feeding her and buying her new clothes as her pregnancy advances. Jarret is the black sheep of his family and his morals and values are completely different than his family. Jarrett works in a garage after bailing on law school, he is covered in tattoos and loves to paint, much to the disgust of his father.

When Jarrett becomes aware of what really happened that night between Raine and Camron, he doesnt know who to believe and what to do. He will be left with the decision to choose between Raine and her unborn baby (his niece/nephew) or his brother and his parents. When his decision is made easier by a long held secret, will he be able to make the right decision? On top of that is the fact that he and Raine have an attraction he hasn't felt with anyone before.

I love how Jarrett steps up when his parents try to buy her off. He steps up to his brothers responsibilities and takes care of Raine and her unborn baby when she needs it the most all at age 23. What a man, what a man, what a mighty good man!

JC Valentine has written a heart-wrenching story that is all too common in todays society. Raines story is heartbreaking and I shed a tear or two for what she had to endure from Camron, his parents and her own parents.

I was given a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review. Reviewed by Tanya.

Title: Come A Little Closer

Series: Sullivan Family bk 7

Author: Bella Andre

Genre: Contemporary

Movie star Smith Sullivan can't afford any distractions. He's staking his entire reputation on his new film...but he can't stop thinking about Valentina Landon and the fire he sees smoldering just beneath the surface of her cool exterior.

Valentina isn't averse to sensual pleasure, or even to the idea of finding true love, but as a Hollywood business manager she's watched too many smart women fall for actors...only to be torn apart when the fairytale comes to its inevitable end.

But when intense weeks together on set turn their heated attraction into red-hot flames of passion, Smith knows he has to find a way to convince Valentina to let him get a little bit closer. Close enough to completely steal her heart...the way she's stolen his from the start.

In a year that has seen some great heroes, and love stories, the old adage saving the best for last is the only way to describe the latest installment of Bella Andre's The Sullivans. In fact I can say that Smith has made my top 10 of contemporary heroes of 2012.

With each story I have fallen just a little bit more in love with this family, however it wasn't until Sophie and Jake's story where I started to fall for Smith. I mean come on, any man who will walk off a movie set a world away to be by his sister's side is bound to be one amazing guy.

I have started and deleted this review so many times. I honestly didn't know how to express how much I loved this book, and these two characters. So I'm simply going to say that if you are a fan of this series you NEED to read this book. And if you haven't read this series yet, well you need to correct this immediately and read these books because you really don't want to miss out on the greatness that is this series and especially Smith.

While I liked Valentina, for me this book was all about Smith. Don't get me wrong Valentina is a great heroine for Smith and she keeps him on his toes. Boy does she keep him on his toes.

One of the things I loved about this book was the parts from the movie Smith is filming. More than once I wanted to write Bella and ask her to write actually write the screenplay for the movie, as I was just as caught up in those parts as I was the story between Smith and Valentina.

Gage...Gage...Gage...I thought he was crazy deliciously sadistic before, but married Gage?! Yikes! And, Yum!!

It's been a year since Gage and Kayla said I Do. A year since Kayla gave her freedom and free will over to her husband. Things can change in a year. Secrets come about, but secrets can't stay hidden forever. You have to read to see what happens when the finally spill, no spoilers here!

I will share that I think this is my favorite of the series! Sizzling HOT and oh so dark and twisted! If you liked the first two (I think a must read before this one) you are going to love The Devil's Wife!! Gemma James true to her talent has given us another book with a dark twisted man that will leave you lusting and begging for your own Gage!

Filthy Marcellos: Lucian by Bethany Kris

Lucian Marcello wasn't always his name, but that was a long time ago when he had nothing and no one, until his fathers best friend found him, took him in and made him the man he is today.

Jordyns mom took her away from her father when she was a toddler and died of an over dose when Jordyn was a teenager, leaving her in the care of the MC they had become involved with. Lifes not easy when the president doesnt like you and it only gets worse when he makes you club property. Jordyn has no hope for survival.

Ok, first I want to start off by saying, being raised in an Italian home, I was taught to call the close friends of my grandmother Goomah, the term for godmother. Imagine my surprise when, while reading this book, the term was used to indicate a mistress. Wow, what a shock, gotta love dialect!

I loved this book, absolutely LOVED this book. Again, being of Italian descent, this book reminded me of my childhood with the big Sunday meals and the tons of extended family, the closeness of us all. No, my family is not a part of La Costra Nostra or the Mafioso, but Italian is Italian. Lucian is a hot blooded Italian man, full of passion. My iPad screen was steaming up because of him, mmm mmm mmm. Jordyn has absolutely no idea what she is getting herself into, but she never falters. One life is the fire and the other the frying pan and believe me when I say, she can handle the heat. She is one strong woman!! I cannot wait until the next book in this series is released. I give this book  5 stars and 4 hands down the pants!!

Whew, boy! *fans self* Slow Ride was hot, sensual and delicious! Cathryn Fox delivered!

The quick of it is that Coop and his high school buddies have decided to invite the 'women who got away' to an all expenses paid trip to a dude ranch they own to see if maybe, just maybe, they were really meant to be. And for Coop that means his best friend from high school. Only glitch? Her twin sister, Julia, shows up instead. The girl who'd always had his eye despite being ever so off limits. Friend code and all that, ya know? Plus thinking he shoulda had a thing for his actual best friend. Ahh poor guy.

Okay so these two. I had a good time with them. Coops a cowboy and a doctor...could he be any sexier? Oh and he owns a dude ranch he bought just for his mama. Nice, erm, package happening too. He was one tasty man treat. And Julia is a lawyer whose life is full of way more work than fun and she needs someone to help her break into her wild side. And, Coop? Totally willing to help with that. It's a novella so it doesn't get too deep but what I saw I really liked. And I loved watching these two figure out that maybe they'd both wanted the same thing all those years ago.

They were fun, sexy and cute together. And, lordy, the heat! Yeah. These two don't waste any time getting down and dirty--woohoo! Passionate, exciting and a little wild.

All in all, Slow Ride was a quickie but a damn satisfying one. Romance that'll heat you up and leave you smiling.

"His name is Tanner Hamilton, and after this, he won't know what hit him."

Emma Cocker is the apple of her father, Jake's eye - his Baby Love. She's been protected to the point of frustration but, nonetheless, has grown into a stubborn, smart and strong-willed woman. What she wants most is to find The One. She wants to feel that all-consuming love for someone. When she meets the arrogant, aloof, somewhat older, Tanner Hamilton, she can't decide if she wants to slap him or kiss him.

"I want to get to know her better, because she's all I can think about and it's driving me insane. I think I could spend days, maybe years listening to her, laughing with her, looking into those eyes and drowning out the world."

Tanner Hamilton has only ever been focused on his business. A workaholic who's only interested in casual flings with older women. Emma takes him by surprise and he's not sure if he likes it or not, especially when he realises who she's related to. Her connection makes her forbidden fruit, but he can't keep away from her.

"You're like breathing to me. I didn't realize my chest was tight until you walked out here and I inhaled."

LOVED Emma's story! She and Tanner were fiery and passionate. I loved their strength and their courage to be together in the face of her father's disapproval, even though it broke her heart. I loved how much light and levity Emma brought into Tanner's life. The two of them had great banter, peppered with sexual innuendo, and for someone who seemed a little bit remote to begin with, Tanner had ALL THE WORDS! Fab read!

***I Received this complimentary book by the author/publisher for an honest review***

 I LOVED THIS BOOK! Of course I've always loved Grant since the First book Fallen Too Far, He was the good/bad boy who didn't have relationships. He was kinda stuck to Nan (Rush's sister) only because he felt needed. Then in Forever Too Far Grant met Harlow, Harlow is Kiro Manning's  daughter, as soon as he sees her  he wants her. She's not like Nan, No Harlow is sweet, feisty, and quiet. She doesn't like the things that goes on the mansion in L.A. and she tries to steer clear of any trouble ESP Nan. The witch has it out for her, she has the dad that Nan wants. Now if you read Rush's/Blaire's and Woods/Della's books you should know that Nan is Harlow's half sister. I love The Rosemary Beach series . Grant Has always tried to do the right thing but he just can't help himself! He also can't help himself when it comes to Harlow, something about her attracts her to him. Harlow is cautious she's not sure what to do. I love Harlow's quiet feisty-ness! "PUT YOURSELF IN MY SHOES. WHAT IF YOU HAD HEARD ME HAVING SEX WITH ANOTHER MAN... ONE YOU HATED. HOW WOULD IT MAKE YOU FEEL?" Grant's response? "THE IDEA OF SOME OTHER MAN TOUCHING YOU MAKES ME SO F****** INSANE, I WANT TO DESTORY S***. I CANT IMAGINE IT, AND JUST THINKING ABOUT IT MAKES ME SHAKE WITH FURY."  " I DON'T DO POSSESSIVE AND CRAZY. NEVER HAVE, BUT YOU... I WANT TO WRAP YOU UP AND RUN OFF WITH YOU SO NO ONE CAN TOUCH YOU AGAIN. JUST ME. ALWAYS ME." Oh Grant you can touch me and only me!! Ummm.. sorry slipped! HEHE!!  I will always love these Rosemary Beach boys they are sexy as heck and are the bad/good boy that we all want! Abbi knows how to keep us drooling! This last quote did me in! "YOU SMELL LIKE HEAVEN AND HELL ALL WRAPPED UP INTO ONE."  I can't wait for One More Chance to come out in September to see if Grant will stay true to himself and fight for Harlow or if I am gonna have to kick his butt! I give my Rosemary Beach boy 5 stars!! ~Chris

HAWT. HAWT. HAWT. Who doesn't want their older brother's BEST FRIEND. All girls dreams  I loved this BOOK. It was the 2nd Kendall Ryan book I've ever read. Needless to say I'll be picking up everything she writes. #Flawless #HOTT

OK... Where to start and how to write so that I don't spoil anything???? HMMMMM... you know how you are a different person online? You know how you're more "liberated", maybe more upfront in what you say, how you phrase it... well that is Grace, the main character in this series. She's a hard working mid-twenties girl, trying to make a decent living. Behind her internet device of choice, her online persona per se, she's a free-spirited, HORNY girl with a filthy mouth full of deliciously raunchy and erotic thoughts. Her main obsession, the number one heartthrob in Hollywood, Vaughn Asher. (*fans face*)

Vaughn Asher has grown up in the spotlight. But he has dark desires that aren't quite public knowledge. When he and Grace meet face to face, the chemistry is not only sizzling, but Grace just may get to live out some of her online fantasies with her number one obsession... or does she? What happens when her private, erotic and filthy thoughts become known to her main obsession?

I loved this book. First the premise. This chick could be me. I have an online community of friends who I pretty much tell all my private thoughts to... so what would happen it my Hollywood crush found out those delicious thoughts? Well, I'd probably die a slow and painful, embarrassing death. This book pretty much is my daily daydream, the game of  "What if I met David Beckham or Chris Hemsworth and they found out how much I FB stalk and comment about them??". That's this book. I related to this book right from the first page. I grinned through the entire book. I LOVE GRACE and I LOVE her thoughts...because her thoughts and reactions WOULD BE MINE.

I HATE cliffhangers. I refuse to read series most of the time until all books are out. But Huss drew me in with that damn hot cover. And the tweets on the back... #icouldnotNOTreadthisbook, so I read it. AND THANK GOD the wait until part 2 is only two weeks. (Only showing me yet again, that JA understands and appreciates her readers.) I'll be happily awaiting each part every other week for the next three months! And I can guarantee that I will devour and love each and every one.

FIVE FILTHY AWESOME STARS.

This is the first of the "Blue-Collar Billionaire" series but can be read as a standalone. Let me set the man stage... Tank Marshall. Six-foot-five, solid muscle, ex-Army sniper. (Yes, I hear your collective dreamy sighs.) His father left when he was just a kid, leaving his mom to raise he and his brother, Finn, alone. After years as the rebellious, fighting, teen, Tank vows to change his ways when his mother is diagnosed with cancer. But that need to always release his pent-up anger simmers underneath. The one person who seems to calm him is Emma, the quiet girl at the law office who continually turns down his dinner invites. But Emma is fighting the ghosts of her past and struggles daily to control the panic attacks while trying to make ends meet. I seriously adored how much Emma made Tank turn into a big softie. "You know, I've never been on a date where the girl planned everything. Will I get my balls back after this is all over?" I mean, Tank adopts a hairless cat because of her! I loved the dynamic between Tank and his brothers. It was fun banter! The whole Jon sleazy come-ons were creepy and I couldn't quite figure out that angle before it was revealed. And big daddy Max... controlling or sweet matchmaker? The jury is still out on that one.

I was given an ARC for my honest review. I loved this book! Boyce was given physical custody of 10 year old Vivian when her parents, his best friends, died in a tragic accident. He raised Vivian along side his daughter and her best friend Bella. fast forward 8 years and things are about to change, Vivian is a beautiful young woman who doesn't see a father when she looks at Boyce and he no longer sees a little girl. Resisting each other is futile. How will Bella feel about her father and her best friend's change in relationship status? Very Hot, a little Taboo. Not to be missed
