*If you have not read CAELIAN do not go any further, it must be read first*
When Bella J. concluded Caelian my jaw was on the floor and my heart was a mess. The Prologue for HIS BRIDE, picking up where Caelian concluded, left me feeling exactly the same, heartbroken and with tears. Bella J. certainly knows how to get the emotions flowing early, and she definitely does it in the conclusion to Caelian and Giana's story.
The Del Rossa family is in turmoil, hearts are broken, anger is rife, and yet life must still continue. But how? Caelian and Giana are at loggerheads, even more than before, the tension between them could be cut with a knife. They are both feeling an immeasurable amount of guilt and pain over what has happened, but they are also fighting their own inner demons. While Caelian is hiding his true emotions behind his humour, Giana takes matters into her own hands, which could have disastrous consequences.
This story took me on the proverbial rollercoaster ride of emotions. One minute I was in tears, the next I was in a rage, then suddenly I was laughing out loud at Caelian and Isaia's hilarious back and forth banter. As the suspense builds family loyalties are tested, truths are revealed, and lives are in danger. All through the ongoings Caelian and Giana's chemistry intensifies, their heat sizzles, and their love for each other fours from the pages, but is it a love that has no future? Only time will tell.
Once again Bella J. has delivered a story I couldn't put down. The Del Rossa's have become one of my favourite fictional families, there is never a dull moment with them, and the love they have for each other is boundless. HIS BRIDE was an exceptional read. There is only on Del Rossa left now, Isaia, and I can't wait for his story to be told.
Reynold's Restorations is another Melanie Moreland series that I simply cannot get enough of. SHIFTING GEARS is the stoEmotional second chance at love
Reynold's Restorations is another Melanie Moreland series that I simply cannot get enough of. SHIFTING GEARS is the story of Brett Conner and Kelly Ryerson, an emotional second chance at love that brings out all the feels.
"Take me there, Brett. Show me the stars." "My pleasure."
Brett is a man who loves hard, a man who is happy to just be around all his friends enjoying their company. Kelly is a photographer who lives a carefree lifestyle, travelling constantly from one photo shoot to another. They're total opposites, but in many ways they are the same, both searching for something but not sure what - especially Kelly. The chemistry they share is molten hot, but for reasons only known to Kelly their relationship has only been casual. The last time they were together Kelly broke Brett's heart, and he was determined for it to never happen again, even though he loved her with all of his heart. Will Kelly finally be able to see that Brett is 'her person', or will she continue to run?
"I had no idea what I was searching for until I almost lost it."
Brett and Kelly have a lot of hurdles to jump and walls to climb before they are able to find the peace and happiness, they are both searching for. Together they need to battle through the regrets and pain of their past and secrets that have been hidden away. Yet while traversing their battles they were still able to offer each other understanding and acceptance. I adored Brett because even though Kelly tore his heart apart, he knew something was hurting inside her, and he was willing to help her through her troubles. Kelly always seemed to be in two minds, should she stay, or should she leave, but as Brett chipped away at her walls, she began to realise just what she would find with the man in front of her ... love and home.
"I loved you enough to hope that I was what you had been searching for."
Once again Ms. Moreland delivers a story where emotions are front and centre. I know I've said this before about her writing; however, I'll say it again ... I don't just read her words, I experience them. I loved Brett and Kelly's emotional journey to achieve their dream. I laughed, cried, raged, sympathized with them every step of the way. Not only did I fall for this couple, I also enjoyed catching up with Maxx and Charly (that woman will never change), Stefano, Gabby and Theo (that kid still steals all the scenes), and Chase, they all provided plenty of good times and left me wanting more.
Next up is Chase's story, Under The Radar, and if I know Melanie it's going to be another emotional and unputdownable read.
SHIFTING GEARS: a beautiful, heartfelt story that demands to be read.

I can never find enough superlatives to describe how KE Osborn makes me feel when I read, no experience, her words. ALLURING ABYSS, the fourth and final book in the Royal Bastards MC: Tampa series, was the perfect finale for the characters we met. It was also one of the hardest emotionally. Rafe 'Ominous' Novak and Scarlet 'Red' Lapointe share a heartbreaking tale, and I just wanted to wrap my arms around both.
"I don't deserve to be happy. And honestly, I don't deserve her. Not at all - she's too good for me."
From the very first chapter Ominous' story touched my heart. Here was a strong, caring, and loving man constantly waging war with PTSD, causing him to believe that he didn't deserve what others had in their lives ... happiness. He would always put others ahead of himself, including the one woman who only wanted to love him ... Scarlet. She would have to be my favourite heroine KE Osborn has written. A tough cookie who wasn't afraid to push Ominous or challenge him at every turn, even when he was trying to push her away. He feared for her safety, both from himself and an unknown danger. Scarlet and Ominous shared an electric chemistry and always delivered an undeniable heat when they were together. They shared a "crazy" between them like no other couple.
"You're a little crazy, you know that?" "Yeah, but you like my crazy." "Yeah, Red. I adore your crazy."
There was so much that I enjoyed about this book. The brotherhood of the MC, the friendships between the women, Charli, Ominous' best friend and her adorable daughter Oaklyn, the trust, loyalty, and love that this extended family had for one another. Beneath the shadows danger lurked, one that brought much drama and anxiety, suspense gradually building and revealing a perpetrator who was completely unexpected.
With the ending of this book, KE Osborn brings about the perfect ending to this series. Once again, she promised and delivered a spellbinding story. I cannot wait to see what's next from this amazingly talented author.

I know that every time I read a book by Kindle Alexander, they are going to take me on an unforgettable journey oDucky & Chad's slow burn road to love
I know that every time I read a book by Kindle Alexander, they are going to take me on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery, understanding and love. Yet again Kindle had me experiencing deep emotion whilst being thoroughly enthralled by two men who captivated my heart. Duncan "Ducky" Reign and Chad Reeves are two men struggling where they are in life, but also have a void within them they can't explain. Ducky and Chad's story is a beautiful slowburn romance that warmed my heart with every word, gesture and touch.
"Boyhood crushes had metamorphosed into adult crushes."
Ducky is the younger brother of Dallas Reign (Breakaway) and he's conflicted about where he finds himself. With more money than he knows what to do with and a new image forced upon him, he's no longer happy. Chad is the son and stepson of Dylan Reeves and Tristan Wilder (Secret who has reached a crossroad in his life and is no longer sure where his future lies, he's lost and feels his life has no purpose. Ducky and Chad have been friends since childhood, sharing a love of playing video games, however they have never met. They're best friends who have shared everything, except for the secret they've kept close to their hearts. Ducky is a shy, reserved man, content to stay in his own little bubble, while Chad is outgoing, adventurous, yet the two complement each other perfectly. Ducky receives a gift from his brother, a vacation for two to Hawaii, so Ducky decides to ask Chad to join him. Is this vacation about to bring about a reality they have only ever dreamt of?
"I needed this trip with my best friend. You've saved my life."
Hawaii, an island paradise where heat and passion will collide, and friendship finds a new level. Ducky and Chad have always had deep seated feelings for one another; however they have never felt strong enough to share them. Hawaii beings about a change of circumstances, they can be themselves, it is a time for reflection, a time to fulfill their dreams and desires. I loved their shared camaraderie, they way in which they easily slipped into each other's hearts and arms. The chemistry they share runs rampant, a sizzle that burns the air around them. They are the other half of each other's heart. I loved the banter they shared, the support they gave, the way in which their friendship evolved. They both have a deep understanding of each other, are so sweet together, but will they take their new found love and happiness back to Texas?
"My heart isn't searching anymore. I got what I wanted - a stunningly beautiful, special guy who says he wants to be with me too."
LEVEL UP is an amazing story. Two young men on their journey two find true happiness and love. It pulled on my heartstrings while also giving me huge smiles and sighs. Ducky and Chad fast became my favourite men from Kindle, their story touched the depths of my heart. I highly recommend their story to lovers of MM romances, or just lovers of romance in general.

She's done it again!! Yep, that's right, Julie Saman has made me fall heavily for another Fritz man. UNDENIABLY INFATUATEDThe Doctor & his Little Rose
She's done it again!! Yep, that's right, Julie Saman has made me fall heavily for another Fritz man. UNDENIABLY INFATUATED was absolutely EVERYTHING, a grumpy/sunshine, friends to lovers, forbidden romance which had humour, passion, suspense, and incredible banter. I loved returning to Boston and visiting with the Fritz family and, once again, Julie hasn't disappointed.
Dr. Stone Fritz needed to do some serious thinking and decided his yacht was the perfect place to do that, sailing on the wide-open ocean. Pop star and actress Tinsley Monroe needed to escape the pressure around her so she could relax and write some songs, the first and perfect place she thought of was Stone Fritz's yacht. Stone and Tinsley have been friends for years, she is his brother's ex. An agreement is made, ten days, two people, an insane amount of chemistry, and incredible heat, but at the end they would go back to their own lives.
I would never have dreamed of pairing Stone and Tinsley, but they were the perfect balance for each other. Their journey was filled with support, encouragement, possessiveness, protection, and plenty of love. Suspense was added when a stalker set his sights on Tinsley, who is it and why? The most heartbreaking part of this story was the reaction of Foster (Stone's brother) to what was happening between Stone and Tinsley. What's a Boston World novel without the rest of the family making an appearance, yes, even Grandma Fritz, cheeky little devil she is.
From beginning to end UNDENIABLY INFATUATED was a wonderful read, a book I couldn't put down. So many emotions were explored, friendships repaired, and so much swooning!!! Stone and Tinsley's story pulled on my heartstrings, and every pull was well and truly worth it. Thanks to J. Saman I have a new book boyfriend and he's totally swoonworthy.
Next up is Undeniably Married and I can't wait.
UNDENIABLY INFATUATED is a highly recommended read.
Kia Carrington-Russell completely surprised me with FRACTURED OBSESSION. I was not expecting Dimitri Volkov and Elanee Lane as the main cWhat a story!
Kia Carrington-Russell completely surprised me with FRACTURED OBSESSION. I was not expecting Dimitri Volkov and Elanee Lane as the main characters, but what a story they had to tell. It was a dark, forbidden, spicy, hate to love you, suspenseful romance with jealousy, obsession, suspense, so many twists and turns, and incredible individual strength.
Dimitri and Elanee went their separate ways after college, he went into the family business while she went off to Russia to perfect her ballet dancing. Five years have passed and Elanee has returned home, a shadow of her former self and Dimitri is determined to find out what had happened to her. Emotions run riot, both wanting to save the other from the man who had destroyed them both. Their stories are heartbreaking, but it is Elanee's story shattered me, the strength she displayed was incredible, she was a survivor.
Dimitri, crazy, volatile, sexy, obsessive Dimitri, wow what a man! There are so many different facets to him, but beneath his coldhearted facade is a man with a heart of gold, a man whose heart always belonged to Elanee. He is determined for her to have the freedom she deserves, and to do that he will need to face the one person he never wanted to see again. Elanee may be broken, but this woman has an inner strength, one others have failed to see, except for Dimitri. Her battle for survival and the survival of those she loves is unwavering, she would happily sacrifice herself before seeing those she loved harmed.
Dimitri and Elanee were always destined to be together. Their history, respect, understanding, acceptance, and passion for each other combined to ensure one thing ... love. Their life journey wasn't an easy one, but the support they gave each other certainly helped them reach their final destination.
As usual Kia's words were simply sublime, leading her characters and her readers on an unforgettable journey of emotions, badassery, power, control, strength, and love. FRACTURED OBSESSION was another captivating and exceptional read from Kia, and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. Highly recommended.
When Cambria Hebert announced whose story WHISTLE was going to be about, I was all in. WHISTLE is the 8th and finaThe Daddy and his Brat ... heartfelt
When Cambria Hebert announced whose story WHISTLE was going to be about, I was all in. WHISTLE is the 8th and final book in Cambria's Westbrook Elite series, and she couldn't have chosen two better people to finish it with. An age-gap (40-21), forbidden, MM romance which was heartfelt, soulful, heartbreaking, but it was a story of forgiveness, acceptance, and love. I devoured this book, it made me laugh, cry, rage, and sign at Cambria's beautiful and emotional words.
Coach Emmett Resch, the mainstay of Elite's swim team has always come across as the whistle blowing, gruff, stoic man who puts up with the shenanigans of his swim team. There's a side to him not many see, the caring, loving man who has a heart of gold, a man who has a secret. Bodhi Lawson is a brat in every sense of the word, and is exactly what the doctor ordered .. or should I say coach. A traumatic event reshaped his life, he lashed out, lost everything, he was a lost soul. Joining Westbrook's Elite was not on his radar, neither was Emmett Resch.
The relationship between Coach and Bodhi was everything. The possessiveness, jealousy, understanding, and cart just made my heart sigh. While it wasn't always easy, I loved that they were always there for each other. Bodhi was the perfect brat and Emmett was the 'daddy' he needed. OMG!!! Daddy Emmett was simply magnificent; Cambria didn't mess a beat with him. The steam between them was scorching, but it was the emotions, the hugs, the nicknames that were truly special.
As with all the books in this series it is the camaraderie, the friendships, the love, and support which is found amongst the members of Elite and the partners that I love most about this book. I enjoyed the usual witty, sarcastic, and humourous group chats, those Elite boys have no filter whatever. My heart melted with the interaction between Bodhi and Lars, it was what was needed after what happened in Rush's book. Coach and Bodhi were truly perfect for each other, Cambria has delivered their story beautifully. A word of warning though, a caramel trauma latte is definitely needed during reading.
Westbrook Elite is an addictive series and should not be missed. Cambria Hebert's words, characters, and emotions come to life on every page. Highly recommended.
Emma Foxx is a new author to me, after reading SOME LIKE IT HOT I am definitely going to go and read the earlier books An entertaining & playful story
Emma Foxx is a new author to me, after reading SOME LIKE IT HOT I am definitely going to go and read the earlier books in her Chicago Racketeers world. SOME LIKE IT HOT was a sizzling, humourous, and playful romance which had me constantly smiling.
What you can expect: ✅ Why Choose MMFM ✅ Fake Dating (With A Twist) ✅ Fake Engagement ✅ Sizzling Heat ✅ Three Delicious Men ✅ One Sassy & Sweet Heroine
Elise Starling is the personification of sunshine, a free-spirited woman who has found herself heavily attracted to three completely different men. Blake Wilder the grumpy hockey player, Simon Armstrong the bossy billionaire, and Aiden Burke the sexy firefighter, all want Elise, but who will she choose? A New Year's Eva party sets in motion a steamy, humourous, and sometimes emotional story which captured my heart and left me wanting more.
Emma Foxx delivered a superb story which explored the different layers found within friendships, relationships, and love. I loved that all the characters were open-minded and honest in regard to what they wanted and needed from each other, both as a group and individually. Although sometimes, I do wish that Elise and Blake were true to their feelings for each other, it would have solved at least one of their problems. The chemistry between all four was palpable, and the sizzle between the sheets was explosive - lucky Elise! The banter was hilarious, the teasing and the joking has me laughing out aloud numerous times, yet when the serious moments arose each individual could be very deep and meaningful. I loved that the three men were protective of Elise, constantly looking out for her. While all three men had their obvious flaws, it made them "human" and that's what I loved about them. I loved that they loved the mess Elise was and the fact that they never tried to change quirky ways. Instead, they encouraged and supported her in her endeavours.
SOME LIKE IT HOT was such an entertaining read. It was playful, humourous, sexy, and often heartfelt. It is romance and love at its best, falling for Elise, Blake, Simon, and Aiden was so easy to do. Their personalities just drew me in and kept me wanting more. Don't forget to get the Bonus Scene, it will leave your heart sighing with joy.
THE MASQUERADE: ROOM 2 is book #2 in Eva Haining's Club V series, and every pTemptation lies behind the mask
DAMN GIRL, this story was scorching hot!!!
THE MASQUERADE: ROOM 2 is book #2 in Eva Haining's Club V series, and every page threatened to melt my kindle. It is a Dom/sub, he falls first, billionaire doctor, BDSM, no third act break-up journey of obsession, desire, devotion, heartache, understanding and acceptance of love. Told through dual POVs, Eva superbly delivers a story of self-discovery, accepting the past, and understanding the need to be loved.
Pierce Harrison has shut away his emotions, he's stoic, confident, demanding, controlling, a perfectionist, and a man very much alone. Freya is hardworking, feisty, sassy, career orientated, yet she feels something is missing from her life ... she has a need to explore her darkest desires. Club Venom. A Masquerade Ball. A Lavender Dress. A Mask. All combining to provide Pierce and Freya a night together that will change their lives forever.
THE MASQUERADE: ROOM 2 is so much more than a story about romance, it is intimate, confronting, dramatic. It is an exploration of emotions, a journey of pleasure and understanding, the growth of two individuals as they learn to open their hearts to the one thing missing from their lives ... love. Pierce and Freya's sexual journey was deliciously steamy, often leaving me squirming in my seat, the temperature definitely gets hot. Their journey is not only sexual though, it is once of accepting their past and how it affects their present, secrets are divulged, understanding and acceptance are given. Pierce and Freya complement each other perfectly, yet keeping their relationship a secret puts pressure on them. Drama does occur, but it is not for the reason you would expect, leading to love and support from friends who were always there. Once again, the secondary characters supply plenty of love, wise words, and humour, which ensure this story is even more enjoyable.
THE MASQUERADE: ROOM 2 was yet another of Eva Haining's books which comes under the heading of "UNPUTDOWNABLE". Eva certainly knows how to write addictive, emotional, extremely steamy stories with a touch of humour and drama. Another unmissable and highly recommended read.
M. Robinson is back to her badassery best with FILTHY MOGUL. As age-gap, anti-hero, boss/empLuke & Duchess = intensity & heat
OMG! OMG!! OH. MY. GOD!!!
M. Robinson is back to her badassery best with FILTHY MOGUL. As age-gap, anti-hero, boss/employee, Latina heroine, dark romance which had non-stop action, scintillating heat, violence, betrayal, and two characters with incredible chemistry. FILTHY MOGUL had me transfixed, on the edge of my seat, and constantly fanning myself. It was so good I couldn't put it down, finishing it in one sitting.
Luke Jameson, yes he's one of those Jameson's, is definitely his father's son, the apple didn't fall far from the tree with him. He's intense, broody, demanding, controlling, ruthless, cold, and doesn't trust others easily. Enter Duchess, a new DJ at one of his clubs, he's instantly drawn to her, wants her, but can he trust her? Duchess is one bada$$ woman!! She's feisty, confident, lethal, and the perfect match for Luke. Their chemistry is insane, their banter intense and honest, and their heat is unbelievably hot. Duchess isn't who she appears to be, and her secrets could destroy the fragile relationship that was building between her and Luke. Duchess's backstory broke my heart, yet it explained everything about her.
FILTHY MOGUL was an incredible read, intense from beginning to end. The twists and turns were jaw dropping, leaving me speechless. Monica has outdone herself. I can't wait for more from her.
Everything Ann Grech writes is touched with gold, and SWEET AS PUCK is another wonderful example. She took me on the prCurves, pucks, and a silver fox
Everything Ann Grech writes is touched with gold, and SWEET AS PUCK is another wonderful example. She took me on the proverbial rollercoaster ride of emotions, I laughed, shed tears, raged, sighed, swooned, and felt my temperature heat up several times. There's nothing I love more than a curvaceous woman and Cara Delaware was simply perfect. Then there was NHL player Alec 'Hux' Huxley, and finally the silver fox Monroe 'Roe' Stevens. A trio of characters who quickly won my heart with their struggles, humour, emotions, honesty, and love.
Cora was such a beautiful soul, she had her aspirations and was determined to achieve them. She had experienced Life's ugly side, yet her effervescent personality just drew me in. A lifetime opportunity to travel with two NHL teams playing exhibition games in Australia, is about to change everything for her. Alec has just experienced the betrayal of his life, he's struggling to come to terms with his new reality. He feels as though he isn't worth loving, yet he has so much love to give, he just needs to find the right person/people. Roe's life was torn apart when a tragedy took both his wife and his son, heartbroken he lost hope of ever finding love again. Meeting his daughter's best friend and then a visiting hockey player enables Roe to reopen his heart and experience love like never before.
While Cara, Alec, and Roe's relationship moves at a quick pace, nothing seems rushed or force, it was the perfect pace for them. I adored that both men idolised and worshipped Cara, they loved her curves, her vivaciousness, the light she brought to their lives. I loved the relationship that developed between Roe and Alec, Roe's bi-awakening was delivered with sentsitivity and caring, it was a natural progression for him. This throuple supplied some wonderful humour, terrific banter, lots of spice (boy, was there spice), plenty of support and encouragement for each other, and a whole lot of love. But what would happen when it was time for Alec to return to the US? Will Cara and Roe remain in Australia, will they join Alec in the US, or will they endeavour to have a long distance relationship?
Ann Grech has been a 'go-to' author of mine for a while now, and SWEET AS PUCK is just another reason why I love her stories. She combines sweet and spice perfectly, her characters all have flaws, yet I can't help but love them, her humour is always spot on, and there is always next to no angst. I can't wait to see what she comes up with in future stories in this series.
A highly recommended read for lovers of beautiful romances.
This is the final installment in the multiple author written series Bang Brothers, and what a wonderful conclusiTanner Bang - the last sibling to fall
This is the final installment in the multiple author written series Bang Brothers, and what a wonderful conclusion to this highly enjoyable and entertaining series. HOOK 'em HARD by Cathryn Fox was an emotional read, with humour, spice, and a touch of suspense. It's time to meet Tanner Bang, the youngest and final single Bang sibling, and Maeve Carter, ex model and physiotherapist for the Boston Bucks.
Tabber and Maeve met at a Bucks training camp when he required work on his injured shoulder. They struck up a friendship, and while there was an instant attraction and chemistry neither were looking for any type of relationship. Tanner's sole focus was on his hockey and Maeve was fearful of her past being repeated. A year passes and Tanner finds he is still attracted to Maeve, but being his teammates' sister, he knows she is off limits. Maeve was attacked in her past and still wears both emotional and physical scars, she still finds it hard to trust people outside of her inner circle, yet she is drawn to Tanner.
Shared stares across the bar and a missent text led to Tanner and Maeve unexpectedly in the same room. After a few drinks and a loss of inhibitions, Tanner and Maeve share some heated sexiness and can no longer hide the feelings they have for each other. So begins a secret relationship. Tanner and Maeve are amazing together, the banter, the care they have for each other, and their spice was way off the charts. Their time together is full of fun and laughter, but something is bothering Maeve. She feels as though she's being watched and keeps seeing men lurking in the shadows, is her past coming back to haunt her or something more sinister happening?
HOOK 'em HARD was a fabulous read. Tanner and Maeve were perfect for each other. Tanner was delicious, the way he cared for Maeve, his possessiveness, and the constant encouragement he gave her. For everything Maeve had experienced in her past she was a strong woman who wanted to live her best life. While Mama Bang doesn't grace many pages, her presence is still felt. I loved Tanner's teammates and the way their wives and girlfriends made Maeve feel a part of their group. This book made me laugh, squirm in my seat, and wonder who was lurking in the shadows, it had all my emotions on high alert. It was a wonderful conclusion to this series.
If you haven't had the chance to start reading about the Bang siblings, I highly recommend doing so.
Gabriel Ferrara: bossy, demanding, and oh so swoonworthy

With every page turned I fell more in love with THE BONUS. TL Swan has once again shown why she is one of my 'go-to' authors, with the humour, tears, laughter, drama, and mayhem she brought to Gabriel and Grace's story.
Gabriel Ferrara, CEO of Ferrara Media, is the epitome of an alphahole. He's bossy, demanding, controlling, and has the shortest and foulest temper. Grace Porter, PA for Gabriel, has put up with his moods for seven years. Why? She's madly in love with him, but she's finally reached her limit with his womanizing ways, his temper, and her heart can't take any more, so resigning is her only saviour. Grace is amazing, she's feisty, smart, independent, and knows how to put Gabriel in his place.
I adored, no loved, Grave and Gabriel, although I will admit it did take me a little while to reach that love. Initially Grace came across as a lovesick fool, while Gabriel appeared to be nothing more than a manwhore who likes to get his own way. However, first impressions can be wrong. The banter between them was divine, hilarious, and their chemistry was so far off the charts. At times their communication was abysmal, but when they finally get it right my heart sighed. Gabriel was simply swoonworthy, the lengths he went to to have Grace in his life were incredible, this man had no boundaries. I loved that Grace stood her ground with him, but how long can a woman resist the charms of a romantic Italian on a mission?
While Gabriel and Grace are trying to come to terms with what life has thrown at them and work on having some form of relationship, drama is never far. First there is a woman scorned, and then there is Gabriel's mother, what a nasty piece of work she is!! The secondary characters were amusing, especially Mark and Deb, Gabriel's driver and Grace's best friend, they supplied some highly amusing banter and some very wise words, Alessio, Gabriel's brother, has certainly raised my interest. I can only hope these three get to tell their stories.
THE BONUS is another fun, steamy, and entertaining read from Tee, if you don't laugh aloud, I'll be amazed. Tee has outdone herself, stealing my heart with her magnificent, dirty-mouthed Italian and the woman who won his heart.
A highly recommended read.

Could REBELLIOUS have been any better? Definitely not!!
I've been waiting for this story and KE Osborn smashed it out of the ballpark. A forbidden, friends to lovers, opposites attract, MC romance which was non-stop action from beginning to end. An emotional read which had me shedding tears, sniggering, and ready to through my kindle in rage.
Noah Drake grew up with a loving mother and an abusive father, until one moment changed it all. Noah found himself in foster care where he met his nemesis Atlas, who would come back to haunt him later in life. Noah is a spontaneous person, often acting without thinking, which gets him into a lot of trouble. A chance meeting with Dutch, a wise one, turned his life around and now he is a prospect for LA Defiance MC. Born and raised at the club, Rhyan Bennett is the club's princess, Dutch's daughter, and completely off limits. She's sweet, independent, and tired of the protection she receives from the club members, she wants a life.
Noah and Rhyan have an amazing chemistry and as mutual attraction, yet they both know they must stay away from each other, but it's a struggle. As their friendship deepens staying in the platonic zone only gets harder. I loved the sweetness they shared, the tension that was building between them, and the eventual heat they shared, they were explosive. Just when things seem to be running smoothly Noah's ugly past rears its ugly head, and his future with Defiance is in doubt, especially when he acts before he thinks.
REBELLIOUS was everything I had hoped for in Noah's story and so much more. My emotions were screaming on that proverbial rollercoaster ride, and I loved every minute of it. There was intensity, heartache, friendship, family, camaraderie, drama, suspense, and of course love. Yet again, KE Osborn has delivered a story I simply devoured, it was addictive and intoxicating.
Next up is Suspicious, Loki's story, and I'm already tapping my fingers waiting for that one.
If you loved Louise Bay's The Doctor's series, then you're going to absolutely love this spinoff. THE BOSS + THE MAID = CHEMISTRYYou need to read this
If you loved Louise Bay's The Doctor's series, then you're going to absolutely love this spinoff. THE BOSS + THE MAID = CHEMISTRY was such a fun and entertaining read. A boss/employee, grumpy/sunshine, age-gap, spicy RomCom which has terrific characters and an engaging plot.
Efa Cadogan, sister to Eira Dr. Single Dad who she is extremely close to, moved from London to New York for a temporary summer job at a top hotel while there she is hoping to obtain her dream job in the tech world. Efa is like a breath of fresh air, she's sweet, intelligent, has a wonderful sense of wit and humour, and has a positive outlook on life. Bennett Fordham is the billionaire owner and CEO of his own tech company, Fort Inc. Bennett is reclusive who hides his true identity from the world. He has a select group of friends who he trusts implicitly, but those are the only people he has given his trust to, as his trust isn't given freely. Initially Bennett comes across as being arrogant, but he is far from it, it's his way of protecting himself.
Two strangers meet in a bar, share a passionate night together and that's all it is meant to be. Imagine their surprise when the meet the next day under totally different circumstances, she's a maid cleaning a guest's room and he's the guest, to say Bennet and Efa are shocked is an understatement. Bennett's company is currently under attack from an unknown source and curiously he assumes the attacker to be Efa. Suffice to say they are in for some interesting times ahead. The chemistry between them is explosive, the spice, oh the spice, is incredibly hot, to the point they can't keep their hands off each other. I loved the way their relationship evolved, the banter they shared, the trust that grew between them, and definitely the hot times they shared. I adored that Efa was able to show Bennett how he could be true to himself, be the person he was meant to be. I was so excited when they visited the Cove family in England - that just made my day.
THE BOSS + THE MAID = CHEMISTRY was another brilliant story from Louise Bay. I loved everything about it, the characters, the friendships, the secret sleuthing, the suspense. I fell for all of Bennett's friends, hopefully they will all get their own stories.
This story needs to be read, and YOU NEED TO READ IT.
Visiting the little village of Ardnoch in the Scottish Highlands is always an emotional experience, and NORTHERN TWILIGHT was no dTime heals the heart
Visiting the little village of Ardnoch in the Scottish Highlands is always an emotional experience, and NORTHERN TWILIGHT was no different. A small town, second chance, second generation romance which was everything I had hoped for. Childhood friends, first loves, anger, hurt, memories, passion, and an undeniable love, a story I've been waiting for and absolutely loved.
From the moment they met Callie Ironside and Lewis Adair were inseparable, they were best friends, sweethearts, soulmates, until an overheard conversation changes everything. Seven years of no contact and constant avoidance ends when fate steps in and they find themselves in London at the same time, leading to a night filled with fiery passion. A night which would bring more change to their lives. For Lewis this was the chance he needed to get Callie back into his life, but Callie is hesitant, she knows her heart wouldn't take being broken again.
I adored Lewis as a young boy, but as a grown man he is simply divine. His heart has always belonged to Callie and now he wants to prove he's once again worthy of her love. Lewis has grown into a gorgeous, tattooed, biker who is not afraid to show his vulnerabilities and fears to others. His determination to win back and show Callie his love for her never faded was sigh inducing. He is the epitome of swoonworthy. Callie has grown into a strong, fierce, and independent woman, who also has vulnerabilities and Lewis is her biggest one. Time in Paris allowed her to follow her dream of becoming a pastry chef and return to Ardnoch and her mum's pastry shop. With both Callie and Lewis returning to Ardnoch will the love they once shared reignite?
Samantha Young has yet again presented a beautiful story of two broken hearted people on a journey to rediscover the love they once shared. I loved the flashbacks to Lewis and Callie's past, as they were an insight into how their love initially grew and the devastation they both suffered when they broke up. Their friendship was amazing, they were two peas in a pod, the angst and tears, the jealousy, the chemistry, the spice, the laughter, the love, and the memories they shared all combining to make them perfect for each other.
NORTHERN TWILIGHT is another unputdownable read from Samantha Young. Lewis and Callie were everything I had hoped for. I loved catching up with their incredible families, witnessing the love, support, and understanding they all gave each other. Once again Samantha has delivered a taste of life in a small Scottish village with her wonderful characters, a bevy of emotions, a touch of suspense, and a love that will stay forever in your heart. Highly recommended.
Kelly Jamieson's LIGHT 'em UP, the 5th book in the Bang Brothers series by multiple authors, is yet another fun, steamy, andFun, steamy & entertaining
Kelly Jamieson's LIGHT 'em UP, the 5th book in the Bang Brothers series by multiple authors, is yet another fun, steamy, and entertaining addition to the series. A second chance, enemies to lovers, forced proximity hockey romance which held me captivated from the first page. A former figure skater, now a skating coach, and a hockey player who have history between them, both good and bad, are thrown together in a professional capacity.
Former Olympic figure skater Annie Bang has moved to New York for her position as the bears skating coach. Always feeling invisible around her NHL playing brothers, she's determined to shine in her new role. Her only hesitancy is the player who injured her brother plays for the Bears, the player with whom she shared a steamy night with a few years back, Logan Coates. Logan plays on the fourth line, he's been training hard and is determined to move up the lines and have more of a playing impact. Not only is he feeling pressure from his coaches, he's also being pressured by his father.
Annie struggles with both her loyalty to her family and her animosity toward Logan, especially after he apologises to her for the past. Logan is skeptical in regard to having to "learn" to skate, but as time passes, he realizes that what Annie is teaching is helping his playing. The chemistry between them is obvious, and increases with the more time they spend together. Their connection and friendship deepen as they share their frustrations and dreams. I love the support and encouragement they give each other; their banter was wonderful. and their heat was molten. Keeping their relationship was a priority, not only because of complications it may cause at work, but also because of Annie's family. When Mama Bang finally makes her appearance, she is not happy with the situation, she wants Annie with her roommate, her old skating partner Ivan (who really needs a book of his own). I must admit I didn't like Mama Bang's attitude in this book, she came across as being uncaring, which really isn't her, I understood where it stems from but it just seemed out of character for her.
I loved every page of this book. Annie and Logan were perfect together. I fell for them easily and quickly, they were relatable, especially with the doubts they had about themselves and the determination they had to succeed in their careers. I loved that Annie and Logan found a way to stand up for themselves to those who were meant to love and support them the most. I enjoyed the camaraderie between Logan and his teammates, their banter often hilarious. When Annie's family learns the truth of her relationship the initial reactions were not pretty, but when another truth is revealed, I loved the support and love they gave her.
From beginning to end LIGHT 'em UP was a terrific story, it was fun, emotional, confronting, spicy, and highly entertaining. Kelly's words drew me in, and I didn't want to put the book down until the story ended. It was another fabulous read in this series. Highly recommended.
If there were ever two authors who excel at MM Romance then it would have to be Kindle Alexander. The characters, the emotLove is an emotional journey
If there were ever two authors who excel at MM Romance then it would have to be Kindle Alexander. The characters, the emotions, and the storylines always pull me in, and FRICTION has been added to my "Kindle has wrecked my heart list'. I'll admit, it did take me a few chapters to get into this one, but once I did, I couldn't put it down.
Beau Brookes and Dashem 'Dash' Richmond are from opposite sides of the tracks, but that doesn't stop them from developing more than a close friendship. Meeting when they are in their mid-teens, Beau and Dash's story spans several years. It is emotional, humourous, heartbreaking (yes, I cried), and it had me raging at the bigotry of their parents. Parental expectations on both are high ensuring their lives are not easy, and when Beau is suddenly taken away by his father Dash is determined that Beau will one day return to him. Love is a strong bond, an emotional journey, and when Beau and Dash meet again as young adults, they are no longer the free spirited boys. Will they be able to rebuild the love they once shared?
FRICTION made me laugh, shed a few tears, and boy did I rage!! Kindle has written so many layers into this story, and as they slowly peel back and truths begin to be revealed the intensity of Beau and Dash's story picks up. FRICTION is book #1 of three in the Gravity series, so I'm intrigued to see how this story and relationship progresses. FRICTION is a story of love and the obstacles that need to be experienced and overcome.
