Whether it be knitting or beards, Penny Reid knows the way to my heart!!! Reid has this extraordinary and unique way of telling a story that is refreshing, smart, witty, lovable, heartfelt, and sweet. There isn’t a Penny Reid book that I haven’t loved and so you can imagine my excitement when I finally got my hands on Beard In Mind.
Beau Winston is the nice twin. I honestly think he is the male version of myself. Beau is the guy that you want to be friends with and so you can imagine to his surprise when he shows up to work and sees the new hire, Shelly Sullivan. Though he mistaken Shelly for someone else, Shelly immediately called Beau an idiot. Taken aback by her rude behavior, Beau gives it another shot to be friendly with her but she isn’t having it and so he thinks she is weird and rude.
Shelly Sullivan isn’t like any heroine that I have read. She has an extreme version of OCD and not many people know about her condition. She is trying to work on her problems with therapy but it comes off as she is being rude.
Little did Beau know, Shelly is very much attracted to Beau. She loves that he is the most down to earth and nicest person that she has the pleasure of knowing. When Shelly tells Beau that she is attracted to him, Beau is a little stunned because Shelly never gave any indication of her feelings for him. And Beau being the nice guy decides that he wants to get know Shelly. As Beau gets to know Shelly and her OCD habits, he begins to really like her. I mean really really like and care for her and soon he finds himself in a relationship with Shelly.
I absolutely adore Beau as he didn’t get scared or shy away from Shelly’s problems. He embraced it and was willing to help her. Shelly was also a heroine that I adored. I loved that she didn’t shy away from her OCD tendency but sought out help from therapy and from Beau. I love seeing a couple who are totally different but completes one another and reading about Beau and Shelly made my heart burst with so much love and appreciation.
Beard In Mind was one of those reads that you can easily get lost in. Reid’s witty and smart dialogue, colorful cast of characters, and heartfelt storyline really makes this series as one of my favorite. So what are you waiting for and go discover why I love Beau Winston!!!
Pucking Amazing!!!!!! Helena Hunting has once again worked her literary magic of a hat trick as she has me totally smitten for that ginger hockey bad boy, Lance Romero and of course his leading lady, Poppy.
[image]
“I savor her— taste her mouth, sample the sweetness of her tongue and the press of her body against mine. I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want her. I don’t want to claim, fuck, devour. I want to be worthy, and I’m afraid I never will be. This is exactly what makes me a bad person, because that won’t stop me. I’ll get inside her. I’ll find out how good it feels to be with her, even if I never deserve her.”
If you have been following the series, we have watched each of Chicago’s premier hockey players slowly get their pucking happily ever after and of course Helena Hunting had to save the best for last. That’s right Lance Romero is finally getting his aye happily ever after and let me just say it’s one unforgettable story.
Lance’s story was everything that I could have wanted, hoped, and expected from Helena. In all honesty, Helena has me on a Lance and Poppy high. I don’t want to say much because this book is all about experiencing and getting to know the real Lance. And the real Lance Romero is beautifully broken and vulnerable.
[image]
“For the first time in my entire life, I understand what it means to be with someone who will give and not just take.”
From Hunting’s sophisticated prose, smart and witty dialogue, charismatic characters, and epic love story, she creates one unforgettable story that was brimming with visceral raw emotions. I can go on and on about how amazing this story is but I won’t because I don’t want readers to miss out in falling in love with Lance Romero and Poppy. So if you are looking for a story, where you want to spend seven minutes in heaven with one sexy ginger then I highly recommend you to go pucking crazy and read Pucked Off.
Heartwarming. Poignant. Devastatingly beautiful. These are a few words that comes to mind when describing Chanel Cleeton’s latest new release, On Broken Wings. It’s no secret that I am a huge fan of the author as Cleeton continues to soar high with her sizzling romance that packs a punch when it comes to the matters of the heart.
To say that she is flying high is an understatement because Cleeton once again delivers a love story that has you on cloud nine. With her heart tugging and emotional prose, Cleeton allows her readers to get lost in a world of hurt, love, passion, hope and second chances. Readers like myself are swept away as two people found solace, love, friendship and comfort in one another. What may be seen as somewhat a forbidden and uncharted romance, Cleeton douses her readers to feel the beauty that surrounds Dani and Alex as their friendship soars into a new territory of possibilities.
When it comes to this type of romance, authors usually dismisses the previous relationship and focus solely on the present and in this case of On Broken Wings, Chanel allowed readers to see the love Dani had for her deceased husband and her emotional struggles of sharing and opening her heart. I applaud Chanel Cleeton in that aspect because she made me feel for her characters as they face and tackle their emotions and feelings for one another. So if you are looking for a read that was visceral, breathtaking,raw,uplifting, and special then I urge readers to come aboard and fly with Chanel Cleeton as she soars into your hearts with a romance that is wildly addicting and heartwarming.
Going Down Hard by Carly Phillips is a symphony of sweet and sexy. I absolutely adore this heartwarming love story that Carly Phillips has created as two people from two different social circles have their lives collide.
As the son of a former gardener and maid, Derek West has never been ashamed of his upbringing that was until Cassie Storm reminded him that they come from two different worlds. Fast forward to several years later, Derek is now a self-made billionaire who has worked his way to the top. And this time, it is Derek West who holds the power and wealth.
Cassie Storm is rich, beautiful, and smart. She wants to take over the family business and show her father that she can save their company and family name. And in order to save their business, Cassie knows that she has to land the interview of the lifetime. An interview with Derek West, the son of her family's former gardener and maid.
Cassie has only one regret in life and that is what she said about Derek to her friends. She knew that she shouldn’t have let peer pressure get the best of her when she was eighteen years old but now she wants to show Derek that she is a changed woman who never meant to hurt him. When Cassie apologized to Derek for what she said in the past, Derek acknowledges that there is compassion, truth and humility to it. He also realizes that Cassie Storm is someone you can’t forget. So when Derek agrees to do the interview, what happens when Derek and Cassie realize that this could possibly be their second chance? Will Derek be able to trust Cassie with his heart?
As I said before, there is nothing like reading a Carly Phillips book. Her stories have always been a perfect blend of romance, heart, and steam and Going Down Hard is another prime example of that. With her heartfelt prose, Phillips allows her readers to fall hard for her lovable characters. And trust me when I tell you, it’s not that hard to fall for Derek West and Cassie Storm as these two were the perfect pair. They complemented each other like two peas in a pod. So if you are looking for a romance that will bring a smile to your face and have you wishing for your own Derek West then I highly suggest you one-click this book now.
Wulf? Liam? Both? Or Neither? Who will win the heart of Katya? Team Wulf or Team Liam? Well, I think it’s given that I couldn’t wait for this much anticipated conclusion of The Neighborhood.
[image]
“Because despite everything,” he spoke softly, moving closer to her. “The fighting and the lying and the game playing,” his lips were actually brushing against her. “You still feel .. . exactly ... the same ... about me.”
If you know me, I don’t do love triangles. It is something that I rarely read because I would feel bad for the other party. But for this particular book, Stylo Fantôme had me hooked. I loved Wulf in the previous book and liked Liam a lot. And so when it came down to choosing which men Katya would end up with, Katya’s new change would be the game changer.
When Katya discovers that the two men she trusted lied and betrayed her, it made Katya somewhat bitter, angry and someone I honestly didn’t like. The new Katya didn’t impress me at all. I expected her to be more fierce but instead found her lacking and wished I could slap some sense into her.
[image]
“I need her, so much. She belongs with me, we belong together. So however long it takes, that's how long it takes. I can play the part of a stone and wait her out. It's what I was born to do, after all.”
I will say that my opinion on Wulf didn’t change much. I love his character a lot. He was the only one that I found relatable and true to his character. I found his flaws endearing which made me rooted for him. As for Liam, I didn’t expect what was revealed about him. Honestly, Liam really didn’t make such an impact in the storyline. He was just there and somewhat unforgettable which is kind of sad since I loved the angst and love triangle that Stylo incorporated in the first book.
As for who will win Katya's heart, you will have to read and discover why Team ?? was always the choice. Did I enjoy this book? Yes. Did I like both men? Of course. Did I like how Katya was written in this final conclusion? That would be a No. I just wished the author had incorporated more angst, drama, and surprisingly more of a major love triangle debacle but other than that I was left satisfied with how everything turned out in the end.
[image]
“Having a good neighbor is nice , but having one that loves you and takes care of you and makes every moment feel like it's catching on fire? Well, that's just the best neighbor ever ...”
The Neighborhood is a sexy fast paced romance that will keep you glued. I love Stylo’s ability to tell a story. Her writing is magnetic since I was left savoring each word and raw emotions. As for the romance aspect, it was pretty much given who would win the heart of Katya midway through the book. Yes, I was happy with whom she chosen. So are you ready to discover which neighbor she will choose and what awaits for the other neighbor then you better Come and knock on Stylo’s door.
Renee Carlino is synonymous with romance with heart and in her latest novel, she puts a fun spin on love, hope and sacrifices. Lucian Divine was one of those romance story that had sprinklings of paranormal undertones but mostly I think of this book as an epic love story.
If you read the synopsis, then you can get an idea of what to expect so I will not rehash and spoil anything for the readers because the best part of this book is getting lost in Carlino’s prose, characters and the raw emotions seeping through the pages. Honestly when I think of guardian angels, I imagine just an ordinary person nothing really special but in the case of this book, Renee Carlino did an amazing job luring readers to fall for Lucian as he struggles with his emotions and feelings for Evelyn. So what happens when an angel falls for a human?
“You are everything to me. You’re the dream, the air, the reason, the cause for my whole existence. If I die today right in front of you, it won’t be because I gave up. I’ll never give up. There is no God that can keep me from you. I’d die ten thousand times for you.”
The chemistry. The pull. The excitement. The anticipation. Everything was done in such a beautiful heartfelt manner that I couldn’t help but devour this book in one sitting. The characters were flawlessly incorporated into the story showcasing their depth, vulnerability and emotional struggle. So if you are looking for a story where the writing was full of heart and passion, then I urge you to get lost in a romance where beauty, sacrifice, and love was shown in a visceral manner then Lucian Divine is the book for you.

[image]
“I couldn’t wrap my head around this physical reaction. The pain. The shame. The lust. I hated Vicious.”
Baron Vicious Spener is indeed vicious. He is calculating, manipulative, smart, cunning, powerful, rich and of course oozes danger and sex. He is everything that you know you must stay away from but yet he has that appeal that tempts you to enter the dark side.

As much as Vicious torments Emilia, there is this strong sexual tension brewing between them. It was hate, anger, lust, and passion all combined. And when Emilia started dating Vicious’s best friend, the hate/lust brewing between them ignited into a whole new level. Vicious played his cards right when he used the ultimate power move, he threatened Emilia forcing her to leave behind her family and relationship with Dean.
Fast forward to ten year later, Vicious and Emilia’s lives would collide once again. And this time, Vicious wants Emilia to be part of his master plan of revenge. Not only does he want her to be his puppet but he also wants her for himself only. You see Vicious has always had a thing for Emilia. She intrigued him in ways that no one ever could. She gotten under his skin. She tattooed herself into his black and closed off heart. And most importantly, she is the only person who knew his secret.

“Apologize for not being mine when you should’ve been. Because Emilia , baby…” I tilted my head sideways. “It was always fucking us and you know it.”
As Vicious forces Emilia to work for him, she finds herself falling hard for him. He consumes her. Owns her body. And just like a cherry blossom, she saw the beauty, truth, and vulnerability of Vicious. She was able to unmasked the darkness and see his different shades of color. But just as delicate a cherry blossom is, she knew that giving her heart is a risk she must be willing to take as loving Vicious, one must be willing to love the scattered pieces. So can Emilia love the broken and flawed Vicious? And can Vicious win Emilia’s heart without any strings and manipulation?
[image]
“We’ve waited a long time for this. I want the real thing. Not the watered-down version. And the real thing is not only beautiful. It is also ugly. I want your truth.”
The push and pull of Vicious and Emilia was written perfection. L.J. Shen had me loving these two hard. These two were the epitome of strong, beautifully flawed characters. Shen did an amazing job showcasing their character growth in such a visceral and beautiful manner. The transformation of their hate/love relationship made their romantic journey so palpable that I wanted to savor every moment with them.
Vicious was everything that I wanted in a contemporary romance. It was edgy, bold, consuming, and brilliantly written. L.J. Shen has written a story that was like poetry.

So are you ready to fall in love with the splashes of color, boldness, and ferocious beauty that L.J. Shen paints with her words.

Too Beautiful To Break is hands down my favorite of the Romancing the Clarksons Series. THIS BOOK was utter perfection. It was EVERYTHING you could have wanted from a Tessa Bailey book. It had romance, passion, raw emotions and all the feels. As far as the characters, Belmont and Sage stole my heart!!!
Too Beautiful To Break was a perfect and fitting title for this book. It showcased how Belmont and Sage were two broken souls who were absolutely perfect for one another. Yes they were co-dependent on another and yet they found healing, peace, and love together. If there is ever a character that called to you, it was Belmont. His intensity, sincerity, and flawed personality was absolutely beautiful. This book was poignant, heartbreaking, gripping and most importantly too beautiful. So if you are looking for a story that captures the true essence of love, sacrifice, and healing then I highly recommend you to read this book.

[image]
I couldn’t explain it, but I had to admit to myself that I was drawn to her. Not just because she was beautiful, but because she had a presence, an energy I found incredibly appealing despite the fact that she clearly considered me . . . scum? Unappealing? Beneath her notice? Maybe a combination of all three. ”
