I was beyond excited about getting my hands on this new installment in The Devil's Share series. I fell hard for Lexi in the first book. I know, right? You expected me to mention the sexy rockstars and it's a girl I bring up. Sorry, but I have a BIG girl-crush on her. As you either already know, or will soon find out, "If Lexi ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" and "To Lexi the world was her recliner." She's sweet, funny, and badass when it's called for. She has those rockers wrapped around her little finger...and me too.
Even with pregnancy hormones raging, Lexi is still bubbly. Her vice is sweets. Just try and keep her away from the ice cream or cookies. Her doting boyfriend is Dash, the lead singer. He hired Dylan, a Physician's Assistant to go on tour with them to keep an eye on Lexi and their unborn baby. While she tries to keep an eye on Lexi's eating habits, she doesn't push too hard. She has much more fun pushing the boys in the band. They soon discover that she might be tiny in stature, but she has BIG lady-balls, and she knows a lot of BIG words. I'm not into medical terminology so much, but "nocturnal penile tumescence" was pretty damn funny.
Actually, there was a lot of funny in this book. Those rocker boys, Dagger, Lexi & Dylan entertained me non-stop. And it wasn't just their banter that entertained me, there was some serious HEAT happening too. My kindle almost burst into flames a time or two (wink-wink).
And then there was Smith...sigh. While I only read it, rather than having first hand knowledge, I was convinced and willing to wear a t-shirt declaring that SMITH JAMES IS A SEX GOD. That's not all he has going for him though. I have a weakness for deeply damaged men, and for rockstars...he is both. My heart broke for him and the painful past that tormented him. He thought he was hiding his darkness from Dylan, but she saw much more than he thought. Not only was she tuned into him, she recognized signs that she wished she didn't.
Dylan had no desire to travel that road again. She had barely survived it the first time. She felt drawn to him, but feared, "What happens if I fall in love with this man and he goes dark and never comes back?" And Smith, who was a self-proclaimed manwhore, was not relationship material anyway. So, there's nothing for her to worry over, she would just enjoy the tour, and then go back to her life when it was over. Hmm...good luck with that, right?

I am so glad that I took a chance on this series and was introduced to a new author that has now been upgraded to auto-click status. When I meet her in person someday, I'm gonna go total fangirl on her! Each book just got better and better and I got deeper and deeper into the lives and hearts of some of the most awesome badass bikers you will ever meet through the pages of your kindle.
MICA: Without fear there is no courage... I fell in love with Mason immediately. He is my favorite kind of alpha badass biker who says exactly what he means and does it in a way that really pushes my buttons. I would like to hear him on audible...sigh. I also enjoyed many of the other colorful characters in the book that I look forward to spending more time with in future installments. Slate and Road Runner are gonna be fun reads, I can tell already. I confess that while I enjoyed the story, it was almost too much. There was so much going on all at once, and it was sooo long, I found myself tempted to skim to get to the end. In my opinion sometimes less is more. Mica had her moments where I totally loved her, especially her drunk ramblings...meep, meep...I got you babe. She could be funny and sweet and occasionally badass. But, she is also stubborn and deaf. Well, she must be since she totally did not respond when I kept yelling at her to wake-the-f*ck-up and grab that totally HOT, tattooed, muscled, dirty-talkin', sweet, protective, beautiful man that worshiped her. And Jess, her BFF, who is queen of the never-ending sentences is a favorite that I hope to see a lot more of. Overall it was a very interesting read full of drama, suspense, laughter, secrets, pain, misunderstandings, revelations, surprises, and a few disappointments when things didn't go exactly how I wanted them to. But, it's not over so the possibilities are endless and I'm anxious to see how it all turns out.
SLATE: God forgives, Rebels don't... MariaLisa deMora, you can safely use Slate's 2nd favorite phrase and say, "I got this". This 2nd book in the Rebel Wayfarers MC series totally rocked, it was better and kept me invested from the first page. Rather than alternating past/present with flashbacks, this story starts in the past and brings us to the present and then overlaps. Some events that I read in Mica's book are in this one too, but there is more info that wasn't known since it was in Slate's head. I got to know Andy as a young boy who was forced to become a man way too soon, shouldering so much more than any child should have to. I think I will forever get a lump in my throat when I read or hear "what do you need me to do?" and "I got this". I was glued to my kindle, feeling the wind in my hair as I joined Andy on his journey to find where he belonged. Having already met him as Slate in the previous book, Mica, I knew where he would end up. However; I enjoyed the hell out of the process of how he got there. I especially enjoyed every trip to the tattoo parlor and the significance of messages he inked on his skin to remember the lessons he learned that were important to him. There was great wisdom in those lessons and I think many readers will be able to relate to them. I fell in love with even more characters that I look forward to seeing in future installments. As Slate says, they are "brothers by choice." I was also excited to get a little more Mason, he's still my fave. No, I didn't forget. You are wondering what Slade's very favorite phrase is? I didn't count how many times he says it, but it has to be a very large number. Whenever he is surprised, upset, resigned, or in lust he says, "f*@k me." I'm sure he gets many offers to take him up on that...sigh.
BEAR: "Love is elastic, it stretches to cover as needed." Although I've had my share of 'Rebel yells' throughout this series, Bear gets the majority of my 'Rebel tears'. MariaLisa deMora you ripped my heart out and then put the pieces back together again a page at a time. I'm really appreciating your long-version of taking me from past to present in the lives of these very special characters. By starting at the beginning I understand more and therefore every thought and phrase has more meaning because I understand where it's coming from. It's really putting me through an emotional wringer too as I share head-space with Rob/Bear. You are making me FEEL so much. Now that I've finished 3 very full-length novels I feel like an honorary member of the Rebel Wayfarers MC, like I should be invited to the next family BBQ. And when shit hits the fan, as it always does, I want my own room for when the club goes on lockdown. And my opinion hasn't changed. While I love them all, my favorite dirty-talkin' badass biker is still Mason...sigh. ❤️

"I like arrogant and bossy and grumpy. And I really like sexy and hot and tattooed."
Yeah, me too! Jackie Ashenden writes the best alpha a-holes. I"I like arrogant and bossy and grumpy. And I really like sexy and hot and tattooed."
Yeah, me too! Jackie Ashenden writes the best alpha a-holes. I can't get enough. All it took was seeing her name on the cover for me to want to read this story, she knows how to push all my buttons, every time.
Ash is not only a billionaire, but he's also broken. It was his pain that pushed him to succeed. To prove himself to all those that hurt him. He's convinced that he doesn't need anyone, at least not for any longer than a night. He's used to people being intimidated by his size and his scars, but she's not. She's sweet and sassy he can't stop thinking about her.
She's determined to save her father's company and talking to Ash Evans is the only way to make that happen. Yes, her approach is unconventional, but so is she. She was raised by her father and brothers so opinionated men don't scare her. His bad temper and sharp tongue shouldn't turn her on, but they do. Everyone always says not to poke the bear, but she can't resist doing it every chance she gets.
This story was so entertaining. I kinda have a girl crush on her for how she handled Ash. Their banter was so much fun because she kept surprising him. He would purposely provoke her and she wouldn't do what he expected. I loved it!

"Here we go—I'm gonna kiss you so hard your panties will all but fall off of their own accord."
I loved everything about this story, it was my idea"Here we go—I'm gonna kiss you so hard your panties will all but fall off of their own accord."
I loved everything about this story, it was my idea of a modern adult fairytale. At least in my mind, I never got to see what went on behind closed doors with Cinderella and Prince Charming, and I bet The Beast was all kinds of alpha with Belle, right? Who knows, but it's fun to imagine. In Married in Michigan the author doesn't hide the good stuff, she gives her readers the full experience.
She's a hotel maid expected to clean up after what looks like a bomb explosion. She's seen bad before, but this is even worse. No words. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor and I was just reading, not cleaning it up. Lordy, she definitely didn't get paid enough for the work she did. True, I guess getting a glimpse of the goods was a bonus, and it was a very big one, but still not enough as far as I'm concerned.
Their first meeting was memorable, that's for sure. And don't get me started on his mother, her boss. She's a piece of work and another reason I wouldn't want that job. At least I didn't think so at the beginning. Though I have to confess, he did win me over later. He's actually more than just Party Paxton once you look behind the hangover. I was totally encouraging her to take him up on his unexpected offer of marriage...just imagine the perks. And let me tell you, I'm not just talking about the billions.

"—admit maybe you like him not just in spite of the fact that he's an arrogant jerk, but even, maybe, a little bit because he's an arrogant jerk."
Just when I thought we had run out of Badd…be still my heart. ♥ I can't tell you how thrilled I was to learn there were more Badd brothers. I've become so attached to this amazing family of brothers and their women that I was mourning their loss before I learned of this latest development, triplets!
These Badd brothers are the bigger, badder, unpolished version of the family. Raised off the grid these cousins, also Badd brothers, are rough around the edges and used to doing exactly what they want when they want. When they show up in Ketchikan and walk into the Badd Bar & Grill where Kitty works it was a jaw-dropping experience, literally. Woo Hoo! I was drooling just listening to her thoughts, and when they got to the actual touching, well, let's just say you might need to keep some tissues handy.
And guess what? Not only did I get to meet the rough and rowdy additions to the family, I was introduced to Kitty's fun and quirky roommates that had me laughing out loud. I enjoyed the hell out of this story that is full of witty banter, heated arguments, bulging muscles, girly giggling and drunken declarations. It's nonstop entertainment that had me devouring Badd Kitty from cover to cover and sighing with satisfaction when I turned the last page. Pleased that the author gave me a clue who the next book would focus on, giving me something delicious to anticipate. The line forms here...

Confession, this was my first Ginger Scott read. IKR? Where have I been? I've said many times that I have a"Lost souls find each other sometimes."
Confession, this was my first Ginger Scott read. IKR? Where have I been? I've said many times that I have a weakness for broken characters, and she gave me two. They both have painful pasts that haunt them and it's understandable that they have trust issues. But for some reason, they are drawn to each other like a magnet to metal. The question is, will they allow their chemistry to develop into something more, or will they let their fears keep them prisoner?
Olivia has been dealt a bad hand in life. She's stopped believing that the next card will change her luck. It's been one bad experience after another and it's best to not even get her hopes up anymore. But she's not blind. She can't help but admire his form. His muscles. His skill. His...everything."All he has to do is say one word, any word, and I will forget the rules I made when I was a little girl about kissing boxers."
Memphis is living on his dream to become a champion. He lives a simple life, not requiring much. Just a place to train and another to lay his head at night. He's following in the footsteps of a ghost, learning his way as he goes, trusting his gut. He doesn't need any distractions, but he can't unsee her, unfeel her. His body knows when she's watching him. She has the power to derail all his plans for the future. He needs to keep his eye on the prize. But which prize?
All I can tell you is that this #Alpha had me from the beginning. He won me over without the need for a #KnockOut, I just fell at his feet. Memphis & Liv are amazing characters, but there are some support characters that leave a lasting impression too. A few had me searching eBay for some voodoo dolls and another had me ready to pitch a tent and camp out with him. I loved this story hard and I'll most definitely be keeping my eye out for whatever this talented author comes out with next. The line forms here...

"I think it's a Badd thing: all Badd males have an innate capacity to make you unreasonably angry with a single look."
I was both excited and reluc"I think it's a Badd thing: all Badd males have an innate capacity to make you unreasonably angry with a single look."
I was both excited and reluctant to read Badd Medicine because I knew it was the last Badd story and I wasn't ready for it to be over. I've really enjoyed getting to know all the amazing characters that make up the Badd family and I'll miss their entertaining banter.
Ramsey is the last lone Badd boy. All the others have found their forever love and are either married, engaged or committed. And let's not forget about the Badd babies. Don't get me wrong, Ram's not jealous, he's happy for his brothers and cousins. He's just trying to do his time, helping his brother with his saloon until he's able to break free. He's not cut out for being indoors all day and he's going crazy being stuck in the kitchen washing the damn dishes.
She's a live wire and he really enjoys pushing her buttons. He knows exactly what will set her off and can't resist doing whatever it takes to get a rise out of her. She's hot all the time, but especially when she's pissed. She's been avoiding him, fighting the attraction they've felt since the beginning. She can deny it all she wants, but he knows she feels it too. She keeps hiding, but he sees her. "—I knew enough to know you have walls a million feet high and a million feet thick. I don't need to know the details of the story to see those walls, babe. I got my own walls, my own scar tissue deep inside, and like recognizes like, you know?
Can two damaged souls find solace in each other? Will she let fear keep her from reaching for what she wants? How long can she bury her feelings and her dreams before she becomes bitter? Why are all the Badd's smirking and laughing at her like they know a secret at her expense? At least the women agree with her that the men are Infuriating, confusing, and arousing. Mostly infuriating, though." What are they seeing that she's missing? And what's so damn funny about her being angry at Ram?
The author did a beautiful job of winding up all the loose ends and giving her readers a perfect view into the lives of all the Badd family. She made me feel like I was right there, enjoying the chaos, laughter, and love. I turned the final page with a smile on my face.

She can deny it all she wants, but he knows she feels it too. She keeps hiding, but he sees her. "—I knew enough to know you have walls a million feet high and a million feet thick. I don't need to know the details of the story to see those walls, babe. I got my own walls, my own scar tissue deep inside, and like recognizes like, you know?
Can two damaged souls find solace in each other? Will she let fear keep her from reaching for what she wants? How long can she bury her feelings and her dreams before she becomes bitter? Why are all the Badd's smirking and laughing at her like they know a secret at her expense? At least the women agree with her that the men are Infuriating, confusing, and arousing. Mostly infuriating, though." What are they seeing that she's missing? And what's so damn funny about her being angry at Ram?
The author did a beautiful job of winding up all the loose ends and giving her readers a perfect view into the lives of all the Badd family. She made me feel like I was right there, enjoying the chaos, laughter, and love. I turned the final page with a smile on my face....more
Christine Feehan is a word wizard, and no matter what genre or trope she tackles, she leaves me spellbound. Red on the River is in the same world as MChristine Feehan is a word wizard, and no matter what genre or trope she tackles, she leaves me spellbound. Red on the River is in the same world as Murder at Sunrise Lake. Both are standalones, and it took me a minute but I finally started recognizing characters I'd read before.
As the author's female characters tend to be, Vienna is a badass. Not only is she a gambler that rarely loses, but she's also a trauma nurse and heads up a search and rescue team. You can't get much more badass than that, right?
She and Zale crossed paths in the past and their connection was instant and unforgettable. Much to Vienna's dismay because he walked away from her and she can't forget the time they spent together. Imagine her surprise when he shows up at the hotel where she's competing in a high-profile poker competition.
In case you were wondering, the sparks are still flying between them. But the trust is missing. If he can walk away once what's to keep him from leaving again. Is she willing to give him another chance? Can she resist? Especially when he calls her Snowflake? Um...I know I couldn't.
Oh wait, I almost forgot the most important part. S-U-S-P-E-N-S-E. Yeah, buckle your harness and get ready for a ride. There's a touch of paranormal because nobody can write special gifts as this author can. I'm so curious and amazed by them, can't get enough. When her characters get a "feeling," so do I. She has me looking over my shoulder as I'm reading in bed to make sure I'm alone. It's like mental movie music that lets you know something is coming like when you're watching Jaws and hear the creeping dread sound.
So, to sum it up, there's romance and suspense, and to break up the tension there's girl time and hilarious banter to keep you laughing between sighing and gasping. And there are so many amazing characters that there's no doubt in my mind there will be more stories from Sunrise Lake. The line forms here......more
"You're making it super fuckin' hard not to jump you right now." Nobody can write an alpha male like Kristen Ashley. Auggie is the baddest of badda"You're making it super fuckin' hard not to jump you right now." Nobody can write an alpha male like Kristen Ashley. Auggie is the baddest of baddasses but has the softest of soft hearts, at least where Pepper and Juno are concerned. They bring out his protective side and when he says "sweetheart" I can hear it and feel it to my toes... sigh.
I have to take my hat off to Pepper for having the strength to keep him at arm's length for as long as she did. I've heard about mothers finding the strength to lift a car in order to protect a child and I guess that kind of applies here, at least in her mind. It wasn't really necessary, as she eventually learns, but I guess that verse about good things coming to those that wait applies in their case. I mean, talk about buildup. *fanning self*
In between working his way into the hearts of the girls, he's working on the case to keep them safe. The suspense is exciting and kept me engaged as I tried to figure out what would happen next.
As always, there are some very colorful and amazing support characters that had me wishing for an invite to their get-togethers. They are always entertaining and full of banter. And there are assholes that had me beside myself as I waited for someone to deliver what I felt like they deserved. Isn't it so satisfying when your mental wishes are granted?
I'm really enjoying the Dream Team series. I know it's a spin-off of the Rock Chicks, but I have to confess that I haven't read those yet. I know. I know. Where have I been, right? I promise I will, they are on my TBR. Especially after meeting some of them in this series. I'm a big fan of the author and I'll be ready for where ever she decides to take me next, the line forms here......more

I've been waiting for this story ever since I got a taste of the connecti"I get that, honey. But you're not experiencing the adorableness of you."
I've been waiting for this story ever since I got a taste of the connection between Axl and Hattie. I knew he would have his work cut out for him trying to climb the wall she had built up around her. But he's Axl, right? How much longer can she resist him? And like, really, how has she managed to do so this long? That right there proves that she's much stronger than she thinks she is.
I'm a big fan of dancing and I really enjoyed that part of this story. Hattie is so talented and so broken. My heart was breaking for her and I was mentally encouraging her to just give Axl a chance to show her how beautiful she truly is. That's one of my favorite things about the author's writing. Her alpha males are so big and strong and protective. They take such good care of their women. I get goose bumps just reading how they talk sweet and bossy... sigh. ❤️
I can't share the details, but there's danger and suspense. Opportunity for the sexy men to take care of the women, most of which can take care of themselves. What a lot of fun the girls are. I love their sass and their big hearts. They are always up to something and keep the men on their toes. Never a dull moment and nonstop entertainment. That's what keeps us readers coming back for more, right? The line forms here......more
"Did he have any right to bring Sylvie into his world? Would she save him or end up drowning beside him?"
I've really been enjoying getting to know"Did he have any right to bring Sylvie into his world? Would she save him or end up drowning beside him?"
I've really been enjoying getting to know the colorful characters of Butterfly Bayou. They are very entertaining, even the ones that I want to feed to Otis the gator. Sylvie is a badass, and she doesn't back down from whatever life throws her way. I give her momma credit for that. She's the badassest of them all. I kinda have a girl crush on her. Anyway, as I was saying, Sylvie is tough and comes by it honestly. She's exactly the kind of woman Rene needs by his side to deal with his demanding family.
Rene was Sylvie's first love. He left her with a broken heart that never quite healed. When she returns to her hometown, it puts her back in the proximity of those feelings she's been ignoring for years. And when the sexy man in a suit decides that it's time to offer her everything she ever wanted, but not in the way she dreamed of... Is she willing to be the solution to his problem? Doesn't sound very romantic, does it?
This story has a little bit of everything. Love and laughter, sweet and sassy, fun and flirting and then there're the secrets and suspense. And, of course, there's always at least one person to get you riled up and ready to throw your Kindle. I enjoyed that part too. I'm looking forward to whatever the author has for us next.

Um...Arthur? Or, as she calls him, Brat. I always get excited when Tiffany Reisz releases a new masterpiece. I'm addicted to her writing. She makes me laugh and blush and sigh in no particular order.
This series, The Godwicks is different from any of the others I've read. It's got a bit of magic and suspense that makes it even more intriguing. The history and art and scandalous behavior are very entertaining and the passionate payment of a debt had me reconsidering my opinion of long-term debt. In this particular case, the longer the better.
I've really enjoyed this series and I'm excited to see where the author takes us next. Wherever she leads I'll follow. The line forms here... ...more

I th"I'm a member of the Extreme Alphas Club, woman. You think I don't get off on the idea of demoing shit and trimming hedges and grouting tile?"
I think the author's ability to write such good alpha is what I love most about her books. There's just something about those the way her alphas use fewer words to say more that really does it for me. I can hear the growly 'babe' in my head... sigh. ❤️
Ryn is a giver. She's givin' more than she's got and it's doing her in. She puts her family before herself and when she learns that she's being taken advantage of it's a hard truth to accept. That situation right there got my blood boiling. I wanted to kick some virtual ass in a big way.
When Boone decides that Ryn is what he wants he doesn't give up. She brings out his protective side and his bossy side. Something that she finds really hard to resist. Who can blame her, right? Once he gets involved in what's going on in her life it becomes even harder.
I really enjoyed all the colorful support characters. They have each other's back and are always available to provide nonstop entertainment. I can't get enough of their banter but don't let that fool you. They are badasses. When danger comes calling you want them at your back. This story has it all. Sweet, sexy, suspense and... did I mention the extreme alphas? Yeah, that's the best part. I can't wait to get my hands on Dream Spinner. The line forms here......more
"There was a joke around town that the only thing Zep Guidry knew how to finish was a beer."
Oh, how I'm loving this Butterfly Bayou series...sigh."There was a joke around town that the only thing Zep Guidry knew how to finish was a beer."
Oh, how I'm loving this Butterfly Bayou series...sigh. It takes place in a sleepy Louisiana parish where everybody knows everybody as well as all their business. While sometimes the gossip mill is entertaining other times it's a pain, especially for Zep. His past precedes him and his reputation doesn't seem to be dying down even though he's trying to make positive changes in his life.
Roxie thinks Zep isn't good for anything but to scratch an itch. He already scratched hers, but it doesn't seem to be going away. Every time she sees him, and even when she doesn't, she remembers their unforgettable night together. He knows how to push her buttons and doesn't even mind getting arrested as long as it means he gets to spend some time with her. She knows she needs to stop taking him into custody if she wants to get over him, but tell that to her itch.
I'd already met bad boy Zep in previous books and couldn't wait to spend time with him. He won me over almost immediately and I was rooting him on as he pursued the stubborn Roxie. I fell even harder for him when I learned about his love for animals, even Otis. Get ready to giggle, gasp, and grin as you dive into this sweet, sexy, and suspenseful tale. I'm addicted to this series and if you gave me a lie detector test I'm not sure if I could tell you which is my favorite. I love them all. Right now, I'm really favoring this one...but that's only until the next one. The line forms here......more

Who can resist a sexy single dad who talks dirty and can back it up? Not me, that's for sure! No dare required. Wait until you meet Trace and his adorable baby boy. Prepare to melt into a puddle, right after your ovaries explode...sigh. ♥
Of course, I went in knowing that the planned one-night stand would grow into more. But it was so much fun seeing it happen a kiss, a touch, a moment, a heart at a time. I especially enjoyed the details regarding each of their careers. I got more than one giggle-snort out of him learning about what she does.
I've really been enjoying the More Than Words series that is set in Hawaii. The author does such a beautiful job of describing it I feel like I'm there. I've become very attached to the characters in this series and I really enjoy spending time with them in each book. I'm thrilled to report that the series is not over and after meeting who will be featured next, I'm excited to get my hands on More Than Protect You. The line forms here... ...more

I'm loving the Butt"He and Sera had heat. Whether or not that was enough to build a fire, he couldn't know if he didn't spend more time with her."
I'm loving the Butterfly Bayou series. The colorful characters are so much fun, even Otis the gator. The delicious anticipation of waiting for Harry and Sera to finally build that fire that was burning between them was so satisfying. I giggled and sighed and laughed and raged my way to the end. At times I was wishing for a voodoo doll to poke pins in and at other times I was a puddle of goo on the floor.
I've totally fallen for several other characters as well that I hope to see featured in future books in the series. I highly recommend this small-town romance that is guaranteed to check all your boxes for an enjoyable read. I can't wait to get my hands on Bayou Dreaming. The line forms here......more
"I just had an orgasm because that man announced without a single hint of whining that he was going to vacuum."
Confession: I've not read Rock Chic"I just had an orgasm because that man announced without a single hint of whining that he was going to vacuum."
Confession: I've not read Rock Chicks...yet. But, I'm now convinced that's a lapse in judgment that needs to be corrected ASAP! I got a taste of the author's talent in regards to the whole #GirlPower, #FamilyOfFriends, #IGotYouGirl, #YouGoWeGo, #SecretsAre2BShared, #DrunkFun vibe and I really dig it. I have read her badass bikers and already knew she could slay the whole alpha protector who's softer side comes out when he finds his woman. Dream Maker is all that, and then some, with some action and suspense thrown in.
Evie is an adorable nerdy genius with a side of klutz that is painful but entertaining to 'virtually' watch. She's got the biggest heart and a small bank account that requires more than one job to cover her expenses. Dancing at Smithie's is not her ultimate career choice but it does put her on the right path to meet the most beautiful bossy bad boy with the curliest eyelashes.
Mag is not looking for trouble, but he finds it when he meets Evie. She's got problems that make him forget his own for a while. He doesn't want to be attracted to her, but he can't help noticing how 'cute' she is with her geeky inclinations and her sassy snark. And she needs him. To save her from her self-inflicted accidents and tendency to give everything to everyone, especially those that don't deserve it. The only problem is, he's not sure he can save himself. He wants her.
I loved this story...HARD. The cast of amazing characters left my mind open to so many possibilities. The frequent use of the word 'babe' by multiple gorgeous guys had me swooning and laughing when the hilarious and beautiful 'babes' shared their filterless opinions about said guys. I hated and adored and laughed and sighed from one minute to the next as events unfolded that kept me glued to my Kindle. I devoured every word and enjoyed every second. I can't wait to get my hands on Dream Chaser. The line forms here......more
"It was humiliating to know that the man could insult me to my face and my body would till want to see his naked."
I dare you to try and read this "It was humiliating to know that the man could insult me to my face and my body would till want to see his naked."
I dare you to try and read this story and not smile, snicker or laugh out loud. Even Mr. Grumpy Grump Face wouldn't be able to do it. The flying insults, witty banter and sexual tension between Dominic & Ally had me so engrossed I couldn't stop reading...and that's saying something...this book is long. So, just a heads-up, you'll most likely end up with a book hangover, and it will be well worth it.
Ally is barely surviving, working multiple jobs and living on ramen noodles...or less. But you'd never pick up on how hard things are for her because she's sweet and sassy and has such a good attitude. Until you flip her switch. Guess who flipped her switch? Yup, a total stranger who was having a bad day and took it out on her. She never backed down, even though he was the 'customer' and she needed that job. And later, when his mother hired her and all the other employees were bowing and scraping, she refused to back down or quit. Because that's what he wanted her to do.
Grab some popcorn, a mango margarita, and a fan. Prepare to be entertained to within an inch of your life. They lasted much longer than I did as they fought each other and their attraction. I had to giggle-snort when she considered being "Enemies with benefits." The slow burn is delicious but I was searching for some scissors to cut that thread or a match to light it on fire. I could feel their intense chemistry and I couldn't wait for them to give in to their feelings. And when they finally did, I almost got carpal tunnel from waving my fan. Two thumbs-up and five iScream Cones!...more
