Full Disclosure is the story is Deputy US Marshall Mitch Knox and Texas State Trooper Cody Turner. Reader meet Mitch Knox is book 1 Double Full when Colt Michaels was critical inquired in what was terminated to be a hate crime whose target was intended to be his partner Jace Montgomery. I am going to pause and say if you have not read Double Full stop read this and 1-click now!

Full Disclosure opens with Mitch still struggling to solve that open case with no support from the Marshalls office. Another case sends Mitch to Texas and an adorable chain of events had him staying with Colt and Jace in their new home.  I adored seeing Colt and Jace; not only is the love they share clear to the reader but Colts bantering with Mitch over his flirting with Jace is hysterical.

When these men hits the town I was so entertained, a dinner I felt like I was in the room and the moment Mitch stops Cody across a crowded club I too felt I was seeing Cody and wanted to get to know him.  Cody is so shy at first and yet again the use of Colt had me grinning from ear to year.

The connection Mitch and Cody share was tangible, the chemistry, the connection I was instantly rooting for them.

There was so much in this story was so well done, Ms Alexander not only created Mitch and Cody for readers to love but a whole cast of characters were so well developed they pull reader into this world, world were two men are trying to make  relationship work while both having demanding careers. I loved that about this story, relationships don't live in a vacuum, love isn't always enough, you truly have to work to make it work, you have to steal a moment when you can, and these two do that!

This books also contains wonderful character interactions, not only adding more for the readers to love but allowing the reader to see so many sides on Mitch and Cody.
Cody with his family endeared me to my heart and Mitch with his US Marshall Partner Kreed Sinacola was hysterical and Mitchs interactions with the FBI agents especially Tyler Connors was so well done.
Codys family, the Turner family were wonderful really allowing the reader to understand Cody and the story line for the Sinacola family was powerful, I loved the family and I so want a happy for Kreed. I hope we learn more about these event in book 3; because wow this family touched my heart.

Cody and Mitch coming to terms with a deep attraction neither expected but cant deny will pull the reader in.  And the weekend they share their I love you resolve around an event that may break your heart for many (nope not telling read the book).

Witnessing Cody open up, watching Mitch push him a bit and Cody coming to terms with his feelings allows you to be part of this journey with Cody. And the moment Cody embraces those emotions and takes Mitch, well that scene was epic. So yes in true Ms Alexander fashion this book is emotion and NOT.

Toward the end I will say I was white knuckling my kindle praying Mitch and Cody could find a way to live out their happy.

In the end OMG the end. lets just say Mitch and Cody have their happy, one that touched my heart. The epilogue was amazing, truly bringing US Marshal  Mitch Knox full circle, witnessing this scene warmed my heart and made my giggle because yes readers you get another chance to watch Mitch and Colt banter!

The very end of this book, like the last few words well I will just say this is a suspense crime drama that just keeps giving.

I am very excited for Nice Guys #3 because Kreed Sinacola needs a happy and has a mission!
Dear Ms Alexander please write fast!

Wow. Worth It All was totally worth the read! (lame, I know, I know) I don't think Ive enjoyed a relationship driven story so much in quite a while now.

JT is the younger McKinney, and as such has always felt in the shadow of his much older and extremely accomplished siblings. When a car accident results in his losing a leg along with his football scholarship, he cuts himself off from everything, including his family.

Almost a decade later and on the opposite coast, along two friends from rehab, he has built a company that not only develops cutting edge prosthetics and their components but also has a kick ass physical therapy center.

But all the success in the world cant replace emotional wellbeing, and JT has been harboring guilt and a fair amount of self-loathing since his accident that has prevented him from forming lasting attachments. That is until a pretty waitress in a diner catches his eye. Then all bets are off.

Paige is running herself to the ground: working two waitressing jobs, going to school and taking care of her precious baby girl. As a single mom, she is set on never letting Casey, her soon to be five-year-old, feel unsafe or lacking in any way. So when the little ray of sunshine decides to stop using her prosthetic leg because it supposedly hurts, Paige is in quite the pickle.

Of course, this is exactly the in Jake (aka JT) needs, and although at first he tells himself he only wants to help Casey, the fact that he is incredibly attracted to Paige and she awakens feelings he thought would never again resurface cant be denied. Paige is reluctant to count on Jake, coming from a home where the men paraded in and out of her life all through childhood.

I absolutely loved this book. Jake was so sweet, you know, besides sexy, hot, charming and super smart. The way he bonded with Casey was completely heart-melting and I kept smiling like a goof the whole time. Paige was really a great character too. She was strong, selfless and caring. She just wanted what was best for Casey and she would accomplish that no matter the cost to herself.

Athough there was definite electricity between the two, conquering the past is easier said than done and both of them had some difficulties to overcome. The question is, with the chance of everything at the tips of their fingers, will they grab it or let it slip away?

I seriously recommend Worth It All, it was sweet, steamy and adorable. I loved how Casey was as much a main character as Paige and Jake and the visits with all entire McKinney clan was a wonderfully tasty cherry on top of a great read.

Dare to Touch by Carly Phillips had me rooting for Olivia and Dylan and their happily ever after from the outset. Dylan Rhodes has had his eye on co-worker Olivia Dare for some time, however she was reticent to give into the fact she wanted nothing more than to spend time with her sexy co-worker and get to know him better. Finally Dylan decides he is taking the necessary steps to go after what he wants -- and that would be a relationship with Olivia.

As Olivia and Dylan begin to spend time together, they slowly reveal their pasts, both which include abandonment issues brought on by an absent parent during their childhood. Olivia also endured a devastating loss in her late teens that has shaped many of her beliefs about what she believes she wants in the future and threatens to derail the relationship she and Dylan are beginning to build.

An almost tragedy with a close friend of Dylan's helps to put things in perspective for Olivia, causing her to take control of her life and overcome the fear she's been living with for years. In the end this story is about never giving up and doing whatever you have to in order to get to where you want to be whether in love or in life.

Carly Phillips has once again written a heartfelt, honest, wonderful story. I enjoy the Dare family immensely and I can't wait to continue our journey with them as this series continues!

Sexy, sweet and full of steam. Just what I expect from Shiloh Walker! Burn for Me was a little heartbreaking but at the same time a completely heartwarming glimpse inside the life of Tate as he hits a crossroads in his life. One where he has to decide if holding on to his childhood traumas and anger will keep him from the woman he loves and a future he desperately needs with her and her sons. It's a quick read--only about 80 pages--but pretty satisfying.

I really liked both Tate and Ali. The story starts up mid relationship. They've been friends with benefits for a while now but they have an agreement. It's just physical and can't be anything more. Hearts though can't be denied and even though neither has admitted how much they care for the other it's clear as day and something's got to give. They either move forward or need to call it quits.

I really felt for Tate as his world was rocked in more ways than one. By his fear of having a relationship with Ali--and oh his reasoning totally killed me-- and as more than a decades worth of anger and suspicion over his mother's disappearance are challenged and he has to overcome everything he's believed and that may just be wrong. Tate really grows and makes amend for his ways and was good guy under it all. One that may not have been able to admit his love out loud but let it show in other ways. His struggles so tugged at my heart. I could really understand Ali and her frustrations and hopelessness of having more with Tate too tohugh. How hard it would be to be in love with someone and not think they could love you back. The two definitely had some hurdles but oh I liked them together and seeing them get past it all.

Burn for Me is pretty steamy and starts with a bang--literally--since the two are friends with benefits and really enjoy each other. Things move at a nice clip and have a slight suspenseful or mystery feel to them. Tate and Ali had some nice chemistry going and dang I would have loved spending more time with them instead of just getting this quickie glimpse. I am curious to see what will happen with the series and how it'll play out after his sibling's stories are told in a couple novellas prior to the first full length story happening. I'm hoping some of the loose ends--like what really happened to his mom--will be uncovered along the way. This one definitely has me curious.

**Note--I do think this one is way overpriced for length. $2.99 for 80 pages is pretty dang steep. Personally I'd put it on my wishlist and wait until a 99cent price drop.

Ryan and Lila were a joy to read. It couldn't stop smiling and laughing my way through this book. It was sweet, sexy and a whole lot of aaahhhs to boot. Just simply a wonderful, heartwarming story with characters you want to climb in bed with. Ryan was sex on legs and definitely Mr. Swoon-worthy. Lila was strong and independent, hardly surprising given her upbringing. Ryans reaction to finding out about her mom and grandmothers jobs was so endearing and just made me love him more.
The banter and flirting between these two was so believable and at times hot as hell, as well as the steamy smexy times they shared. I cant say there was a single thing I didn't like about this story and cant wait for the next one.

Laurelin Paige is one of my all time favorite authors. She is my go to author when I want to read something sexy and hot with incredible alpha males and strong female characters. So of course I was ecstatic when I got my hands on her latest release, Sex Symbol. I was definitely in the mood for Laurelin's special brand of sexy. And this story didn't disappoint. It was intriguing and hot, romantic and hopeful, and just a little bit heartbreaking.

I can honestly say that I loved Micah and Maddie. The chemistry between them is obvious from the very moment they meet but life throws them in different directions. But thankfully they get their second chance. And it is not easy for each one of them to accept that there is something big and worthy between them. Micah's past and childhood memories scarred him and left the impression that real love and long term relationships are impossible in his world. But step by step, Maddie finds the way to his heart. Of course, like every men, Micah has to scr*w up so he can grovel after that. But let me say this, he definitely knows how to apologise. He will simply make you swoon (if he haven't done that by this point of the book ;) )

So yes, this is a great relaxing read. Perfect for your time at the beach or simply sitting at home and enjoying the good weather :) So don't waste your time and pick up your copy today :) Just keep in mind that this story has been published before under the title Takes Two :)

This review was originally posted at Living In Our Own Story Book Blog. I received an ARC of the book in exchange of an honest review.

I absolutely adored this sweet read from Ashlee Mallory. Her Backup Boyfriend left a big fat happy smile on my face when I was done reading this book. If you are a big fan of a hero, who is family oriented, sweet, kind, generous, sexy and fun then this book is for you. It had all the elements that will keep readers happy and entertained. This heart-warming book was light, fast paced and full of sweetness. Ms. Mallory treated her readers to a lovable characters that you couldn't help but fall in love with. This book reminds us all that its okay to want big things in life but in the process don't lose sight of what's really important. At the end of the day, you should be happy and surrounded by the people who truly loves and accepts you. So if you are looking for a book, that encompasses family values, love, and being happy then Her Backup Boyfriend is a must read.

Its heartwarming, funny and deliciously sexy. A must read, sweeping contemporary romance.

The Player and the Pixie was utterly and completely swoon worthy. Its a wonderful blend of sweet, sass and sexiness. Lucy and Sean are perfect together and the story of how the meet, help each other and fall in love is delightful.

Lucy Fitzpatrick likes her life, thank you very much. She doesnt share the spotlight with her rugby playing brother, she takes pictures of celebrities and blogs about them for a living. She would like for her mother to be happy for her and stop comparing her life with his, but that would be an exercise in futility so she strives for internal calm on another continent. When shes near her mother though, she seeks therapy of the sticky fingers felonious kind.

Sean Cassidy is insensitive and shallow or at least thats how hes been raised to behave by his unfeeling, snobby aunt and uncle which have always left him feeling cold just like every banal and hollow acquaintance hes ever had. Until he runs in with his nemesis colorful fairy like sister who makes him genuinely laugh. So after he witnesses her little act of rebellion, he compels her into going to dinner with him where they both share about their peculiar habits which leads them to more.

When appreciation, understanding are support are added to their irresistible attraction, can they overcome the huge obstacle that is Seans archrival and Lucys brother?

There are so many great things about this book and series. I love that its a story about family and love. That these two wonderful authors have seamlessly merged their creativeness and writing skills brilliantly combining humor, sensuality and romance. Their most potent magical element though, is their character development. Its impossible not to fall for a book in which its characters are well layered, genuinely flawed and completely endearing.

The psychology behind Lucys peculiar habit intrigued me as much as it did Sean. Seans cold and detached demeanour was surprisingly humorous. I definitely wanted to see how this seemingly odd couple would fit together especially with the added obstacle of Sean and Ronans animosity.

It was sad that Lucy had to bare her mothers judgement but still manages to be kind and carefree. I loved that she saw beyond Seans sexy yet abrasive exterior to his vulnerability and was caring and understanding.

Once I understood Sean, I felt so much for him having been raised in such a cold, unloving environment. But loved that he didn't hesitate when he saw a kindred spirit in Lucy, opened up to her and grabbed hold to become a perfectly imperfect hero. I loved how he wanted to go for broke with her, how he wanted to convince Ronan he was worthy of her. He was completely swoon worthy.

I haven't even talked about Seans lack of talent in the foreplay department or how delightfully Lucy cures him of this, nor the awesome Twitter intros to each chapter, the witty banter, nor the great secondary characters which together complete this great read.

The Player and the Pixie is book #2 in the Rugby series by Penny Reid and L.H. Cosway. Its heartwarming, funny and deliciously sexy. A must read, sweeping contemporary romance. It can be read as a standalone, told from both points of view with a wonderfully happy ending.

Ive never read Kimberly Knight before, but I knew as soon as I read the blurb for this it was something I needed to rectify and Use Me was exactly how I love themromantic and sexy with a nice helping of drama to add depth and keep you on your toes, yet at the same time doesnt feel too heavily laden with tension and angst.

We could both use each other to forget about our exes.

The start of this story is one thats fairly familiartwo strangers meet in a bar, drowning their sorrows after the unexpected demise of their relationshipsbut its what happens after hockey sportscaster, Rhys Cole uses the same line as this book is entitled on news anchor, Ashtyn Valor that makes it the story it is, grabbing hold tight and not letting go and it quickly becomes evident that they have something special building.

I wasn't only falling. Id fallen

I literally read this in one sitting and quickly fell in love with Ashtyn and Rhys as their relationship blossoms. They felt real and relatable and I adored how they just rolled with it and with no scrimping on the heat, together they sizzle whilst also bringing sweeter tender moments, moments that make you laugh, frustrate you, and those which leave your heart in your throat as life throws curveballs their way.

Today and every day, I think about how lucky I am that last year we both thought alcohol was the answer.

I don't like saying a book is more than you expected when youve never read an author before because I never go in with any expectations other than hoping to discover a memorable read, but the path Kimberley Knight took this story and the way she incorporated the suspense and surprises whilst never taking the shine off this couples romance does bring that more and Use Me was an impressive introduction to her writing.

SEXIEST MAN ALIVE by M. CLARKE is a spin off of M. CLARKE'S  Something Great Series. Some of the amazing characters from that series are also featured in the new Knight Fashion Series, along with some incredibly fascinating new characters for you to fall in love with.  SEXIEST MAN ALIVE is a compelling, interesting and heartwarming story.  M. Clarke does an amazing job creating real, loving characters.  You will feel like the characters are friends of yours and you are right there with them experiencing every situation.  Just be sure and include it on your "must read" list.

I quickly fell in love with Nathan Cross.  What a gentleman!  He possesses every quality that one would look for in the perfect man.  He is not only outrageously handsome, trustworthy, loyal, witty, extremely sexy, chivalrous, attentive, and remember I did say perfect!!!!  He was a struggling actor, working as a waiter, until he got offered a modeling contract.  It wasn't just any contract.  It was for highly successful Knight Fashion Magazine.

During the period of time that Nathan was struggling to make ends meet while waiting on an acting career, he was in a relationship with Olivia.  They were madly in love and had been dating for a year.  Nathan knew she was the one and planned an extraordinarily romantic celebration where he was going to propose to Olivia.  Unfortunately, things didn't turn out as he planned.

Olivia grew up with a single mom who worked extremely hard to make ends meet, but they struggled daily.  Olivia was determined to be able to financially take care of herself and help her mother.  That is why she made the decision to take a modeling contract and move to New York, breaking Nathan's heart, and hers. And I have to admit my heart broke a little too.

Nathan struggled with trying to forget Olivia when she left.  Just when he thought he was moving on and started dating again, he was shocked to see her at the Knight Fashion Magazine party, and even more surprised to find out they were working for the same magazine.

Olivia and Nathan still shared a powerful connection.  Jealousy and old emotions surfaced.  Would they be able to forget the past hurt and move forward?

SEXIEST MAN ALIVE turned out to be a "cliffhanger", and I have to admit that I am now addicted to this series.  I am anxiously awaiting the next book to see what fate has in store for Nathan and Olivia.  Will he be able to forgive her for choosing her career over love?  Will they have a second chance at love?

4 stars and recommendation for sexy romance genre

I like the idea of karma.  Its a good philosophy for making sure we humans do the right thing. Seeing it in action is all the better when the rightness of an act is delivered and when bad things happen to bad people.  The fear of karma has likely kept a lot of people on the right track and straight and narrow.  Karma by Nikki Sex is the story of Marcy Paget and how she unwittingly creates a bubble of good karma.

The story opens as she struggles with whether or not to do the right thing and it's simply lovely to watch how her life is changed by a simple act.  Set is Las Vegas,  Marcy works in a casino supporting herself and her young daughter,  living hand to mouth while her ex-husband Trent lives a very comfortable life. Marcy has been damaged by the emotional abuse that he piled on her in their years together, and she is understandably a skeptic when it comes to love and relationships.

But her fate is changed in a big way when into her life walks Andre Chevalier, as a witness to Marcys honest gesture. Andre has a keen sense of people and quickly approaches Marcy to work for him. What Andre also does is to act as a matchmaker for Marcy, which suits his profession as a relationship therapist. Andre has decided that Marcy belongs with his security specialist, Mike Thompson, and doesn't hide his intentions with either of them.

Karma is a low key sexy romance read with a sorta second chance love story. I say this because one really has to experience love once to try for seconds, and Marcy has certainly lived without knowing is stubbornly reticent even when its staring her in the face. She knows she has a connection, but Trent burned her bad. But Marcy is smart and comes to realize that with one gracious act that the good karma that she created should be fully embraced.

The story is delivered to us through the POV of 5 characters making this a fun read. The transition between these stories is well executed and makes the story flow. We get just enough backstory on our main and secondary characters to understand what motivates them. Although the mysterious Andre Chevalier remains an enigma.  I would love to see him work his more of his magic and would love to see a  spin off  series centered around him.

Why did it end I was so-so enjoying this book with its sexual tension, humor, great banter and heartfelt story that I just wanted it to keep going.  I have enjoyed all the Gibson boys so far but I must say Lance is becoming my favorite and who can blame me a nerdy history teacher with issues about committing to anyone other than family. This is a friends-to-lovers story that I received as an ARC Copy of and this is my honest and voluntary review of this wonderful book. This book is a standalone novel or you can read it as part of the series.  I was lovely to catch up with some of the other characters and learn more about the ones we have met before.  Lance is so much more than what we got from Crank his layers are deeper than the playboy image he likes to portrays to all.  If you have not read Adriana Locke before I urge you to give her a go if you like you ready hot and sexy with loving characters full of depth.

Holy Hell, if I really enjoyed Signed, then what do I even call what I felt reading Endorsed.

I can assure you that this book will suck you right in from the moment you start reading.

Marni Mann has become one of my go to authors because her books have slowly started to ingrain themselves in me. I just breeze through her books because they will capture your attention from the beginning and have it till the end.

This is going to be a favorite series of stand alones for me because these are about 4 best friends who own their agency and represent from top actors, models and athletes and I need to know how their personal lives will evolve with the rich and famous they represent and/or fall in love with.

Jack has had his eye on Samantha since the moment since the top pick for the NFL became his client and this client so happens to be Sam's brother, who he knows is definitely a no-no because you can't mix business with pleasure and/or screw up your first major contract with your top athlete.

When things don't work out between Sam and Jack, they both move on and become very successful in their respective jobs. But when Sam's brother is about to win the Super Bowl, she has no choice but to attend his game, even though she's been avoiding them for the exact same reason of not wanting to bump into Jack. But it's inevitable and it was bound to happen and it did after 8 years of not seeing each other.

Jack is instantly drawn to Sam and remembers ever curb and every spot on her body that was hard to forget to begin with and he hopes that they can rekindle what they left behind 8 years ago.

Sam has a secret that she doesn't want revealed. What will happen when Jack finds out??

I totally breezed thought this book and if I liked Signed, I totally loved Endorsed. Now I'm anxiously awaiting Max's story next.

If you like fast paced, then this is a good book for you!

You know you've read a fabulous book when you get to the last chapter and you keep thinking... "not yet! Not yet! I'm not ready for it to be over!" and, yeah, that was totally me and Quarterback Draw. Burton just makes the sports romance junkie in me so very very happy. A model. A footballer. A sexy photo shoot in the tropics and a little cat and mouse chase? Oh heck yeah.

Katrina was a heroine I just felt for. Everything about her gave me that little feeling in my gut. She's spent her entire adult life taking care of her two younger siblings after their mother passed. She works extremely hard and always puts her siblings first and she's missed out on a lot of life experiences because of it but never complains. I really liked her. She's incredibly strong. determined and tries so hard in everything she does. She's really just a beautiful person and one I so wanted to just reach out to and cheer on.

And Grant was just gorgeous. Pretty much if I was going to have someone make my perfect hero...it would be Burton. Goodnight but she can write an amazing lust-worthy male. He's pretty much got it all going for him. Sexy as sin, a true gentleman, killer skills on the field and fun loving off the field. He's thoughtful and just an amazing man. I loved that he always included her siblings in everything and never complained about having to share her time. He can be a little alpha male and took over her life a little without meaning to but yeah...total sexy beast of a man.

The two together. Scorching make a girl squirm good. From the second they met on the photo shoot electricity just sparked between them. They complimented each other well in and out of the bedroom. Brought out good things in each other. She mellowed him a little and he got her having a little fun. And were just lovely together as they figured things out.

There was a big emphasis on family which I absolutely loved. Both Kat with her siblings--who totally played the obnoxious bratty teens so well. And with Grant's parents and siblings who all happen to be sporty (which oh gave my heart a little flutter because omg so many more book options!). They're such good people and loved each other so much. I so can't wait for his brother's books. Gah but they're a yummy bunch of men.

All in all, Burton reigns supreme in the world of sports romances and delights again and again with a beautifully heartwarming romance infused with heat, fun and spirit that just flow off the pages.

Whiskey Tribute is a fabulous, heartwarming novella from Samantha A Cole. It is part of the Trident Security series, but unlike the other books it is completely vanilla. I rarely read books that don't have even a small amount of kink in them (yes I admit it I have a dirty, dirty mind), but there was no way I was turning this book down as I am a huge fan of this author. I soon forgot about the lack of whips and chains as the author sucked me into the story right from the first page. It is a delightfully sweet story, but it has it's sexy side too. This book deals with loss, grief and rebuilding your life - and at times I had tears running down my face. It's definitely not all tears though, there are plenty of laugh out loud moments too provided by the witty banter and camaraderie between the former SEALS.

Way back at the beginning of the series Eric Prichard was murdered by a lunatic with a grudge against the SEAL team members. The stars of this book are Eric's widow Dana and his best friend Curt. Since Eric's death they have grown close as Curt has helped Dana with her children and he's stepped in to help with chores that Eric would normally do. Eighteen months after his death, Curt and Dana both want more than friendship, but can they move past the guilt that they are both feeling?

I loved both main characters, as well as Dana and Eric's adorable children. It was great to see some of the other characters from the series again too. This is an amazing novella that I wholeheartedly recommend, so Whiskey Tribute receives five big stars!

I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for a honest review.

I loved this so very much. Excellent story full of heart and laughter and love and a whole lot of sexy. It was everything I adore in a great read!

This was just a fantastic read for me. Evan and Charlie were so great and I loved them together. And Lyon, such a sweetheart. Evan, though, that man has my heart. So strong after having gone through so much and still willing to put himself out there. I just wanted to hug him. He's so patient and kind, I couldn't get enough. I adored Charlie. I totally got her and her feelings and this dilemma she was battling within herself. Loved their attraction and chemistry as well. It was loving and flirty, super hot and sensual but there were these fun moments that I found entertaining as well. There were so many emotional, heartfelt moments that had me choking up too. There was a good build and balance of all of it.

Loved getting to know Asher and how fun he and Evan were together. Asher definitely had personality. Love the story developing with him and Gloria. Makes me totally excited to read his book, Return of the Bad Boy. He seems like such a sweet and genuine guy but he's a bit messed up. Cannot wait to see what happens with him.

The writing in this was so awesome, I was completely pulled in. Great details and character development. Solid story with an excellent pace that had me lost in their world. I really loved it. By the end I was left crying and laughing, it was just fantastic! Beautiful story!
