Playing for Keeps by Glenda Horsfall

SYNOPSIS:

Matt is worried! Their relationship is in trouble. Cassie has been begging him to add role-play to their lovemaking, but the kind of role Cassie wants him to play leaves him cold. When he discovers her stash of erotic romance novels, he comes to suspect that what she really wants is dominance.

Matt takes Cassie away for the weekend to celebrate her birthday. She is disappointed that the ‘highlight’ of the weekend is to be a costume party. A costume party is not the kind of role-play she’s fantasized about. She is surprised when she realizes it will be a party for two and that Matt has actually taken her to a BDSM club.

Cassie agrees to be his ‘love slave’ for the weekend and promises to obey all her ‘Master’s’ commands. Matt is surprised at her enthusiasm and is turned on by her ready acceptance of his domination.

At last, he understands her desire to role-play and Matt indulges her fantasies, along with a few of his own. However, the weekend away has changed their relationship and has taken them in a direction he hadn’t foreseen. Now he’s wondering if they can survive the changes.

MY REVIEW:


FIVE STARS!!! (one of the hottest books of 2014)


Holy mother of chocolate cupcakes!!!

This story is captivating, endearing and steamy!!!

Cassie and Matt have been dating for a while. Cassie is trying to spice up their relationship but slightly embarrassed to ask for what she exactly wants. Matt feels silly trying out the role playing that Cassie keeps suggesting.

Instead of this becoming a bigger rift in thier relationship than it is, Matt decides to give things an open minded try. What happens is extraordinary!

Like I said it's a steamy book, not for the faint or vanilla of heart. Book does show some BDSM situations and POVs of realistic characters and mind sets.

This book reminds you of the meaning, be careful what you wish for ;)

That being said... The book is hot

Winning Love by Abby Niles

LOVE LOVE THIS COVER

Until he learns she chases his worst nightmare—then he can’t get away fast enough.
Meteorologist and storm chaser, Gayle Matthews is no stranger to being left behind and now believes in living in the moment. She wants to do just that with the handsome extreme fighter with the achingly sad eyes. As she works to replace the sorrow with desire, she finds herself breaking her one rule: have fun but don’t fall in love. When he suddenly pushes her away and she discovers the horrifying reason why, she issues one more challenge: face his fear and come on a chase with her.Will squaring off with the past lead to a victory for heartache or love?
My Review:
Five out of five stars!
Such an amazing story or starting over and not giving up in the ace of tragedy. Two completely different characters, Mac & Gayle, both having lost so much and both handling grief in such different extreme ways.

I loved the images that Niles creates. Its as if she is painting a picture in your mind. brush stroke by brush stroke. The scene of the mud race was magnificent it felt like I, as the reader, was there watching everything unfold between the couple.

There were scenes where it was hard to read, so much emotion between them that as a reader felt empathy for what they had each lost.
Seriously liked this book!!

Last Resort by Kate Roth (book #1 of the Desire Resort series)

 

Genre: Erotic Romance

Blurb: Danielle Ward hasn’t had sex in six years. Sure, she’s been on dates. She even has a boyfriend, but it seems something is always getting in the way when it comes to doing the deed.

After her boyfriend finally loses his patience and leaves her to drown her sorrows, her best friend Georgia comes up with a plan that becomes more and more brilliant with each shot of tequila.

Book a non-refundable solo trip to an adults-only resort with the intention of getting laid.

The beach is picturesque, her room is luxurious, the alcohol is included … and Danielle can’t wait to get the hell out of there the second she checks in. That is, until an uninvited kiss from drunken hotel guest and Hollywood hottie Evan Weston. Once Evan discovers the reason for Danielle’s vacation, he won’t let up in his pursuit to be the one to solve her problem.

Caught between her desire for a fresh start and the preposterous idea of having a fling with her celebrity crush, Danielle decides it’s time to throw caution to the wind and her panties to the floor.

But it’s never just sex, is it? And Evan Weston isn’t just any man. He isn’t just a movie star.

Evan Weston is Danielle’s last resort.

 

Want an excerpt?????

 

A brunette a few barstools down from me in a neon green one-piece that had square holes cut out up her ribs giggled. She tucked one side of her short, angular bob behind her ear. "I swear I saw him," she whispered to her friend, a skinny blonde with a tattoo of a rose on her lower back.

I swallowed a gulp of my icy drink and continued to listen to their conversation.

"I’ve heard he comes here sometimes, but isn’t he dating that model? Miranda something?" Tramp Stamp replied.

The brunette shook her head. "No, he was married to Kimberly Jackson. He dates just about anything with tits, usually models, but he hasn’t been linked to anyone in months."

The blonde chirped a laugh. "Stalk much?"

"I’ll freely admit that I keep tabs on Evan Weston. And if he happens to be staying here, my stalking could get me the ultimate hookup."

The two friends swatted at each other playfully and laughed before strutting over to the pool. Evan Weston. My mouth went dry. No fucking way.

Because of my lack of experience one might think I also lacked fantasies, but it was quite the opposite. I might’ve been locked up tighter than the president’s panic room, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t get down to business with myself. I mean, a girl’s gotta fall asleep. I knew what an orgasm felt like thanks to my battery operated pals and I knew what kinds of things turned me on. Dirty dreams came to me every now and then and I had a number of books on my e-reader that I wouldn’t show my grandmother. I used to think that was how I could loosen up for my boyfriends—for Kyle. Read something sexy, have a glass of wine and then voila! Presto-sex-o!

Nope. My logical brain was too many steps ahead of me every time I tried to trick my anxiety away. Kyle wasn’t the hero. He wasn’t the sexy, gruff alpha male written on the page and he wasn’t one of the celebrity crushes I conjured up in my mind on the nights I felt so frustrated I thought I would explode.

But Evan Weston was.

MY REVIEW:

FIVE OUT FIVE STARS

I absolutely loved Last Resort by Kate Roth. This is Roth's best work to date. It is amazing! I love the characters, from the main to supportive they are all amazing!
I can not tell you enough how much I love this book. It takes your breath away one moment, has you laughing out loud another.
You feel Dani's insecurities as she goes to this resort to free herself sexually. She wasn't expecting to meet Evan Weston, Hollywood's IT leading man.  And she definitely was not expecting on him being interested in her. Nor was she expecting the sparks tat undeniably fly between them.
Like I said I love the emotional journey that Roth takes you on.
I can not wait to read the next in this series Best Laid Plans!!!!

Check out the cover for the next book in series:

Author Bio: Inspired by music, film, art and the wealth of stories she has heard through her career as a professional hair stylist, Kate Roth decided to get real about her love of writing in 2008. She signed up for a course after-hours at the local high school called 'So You Want To Write A Book?'. Indeed, she did! For years Kate had been dreaming up love stories in her head and she'd even managed to write a few of them down but it was that class that gave her the drive to finally do something more with her ideas.

The ideas haven't stopped flowing since. She enjoys writing in all sub-genres of romance and even has a few surprises up her sleeve for the future. Her other titles include New Adult Romance; The Low Notes, Paranormal New Adult Romance; Reckless Radiance, and Contemporary Romances; Natural Harmony and Sway (from the Confession Records collection). She is a small business owner and lives in Indiana with her husband, Adam and their dog, Sampson.

Never Been Kissed by Mari Carr

Synopsis:

Two’s company. Three is perfection.

Second Chances, Book 5
Shelly MacIsaac has pretty much given up all hope. Hope that she’ll lose weight, that she’ll find any excitement in life, that there will ever be any man in her bed besides Barney, her cat.
When her friend Zoey suggests the wine girls come up with resolutions for the New Year, Shelly latches onto the one everyone expects her to choose—the tried-and-true commitment to go on a diet and get into shape. Deep inside, however, Shelly knows she needs to change a lot more than just her physical appearance.
After a year licking his wounds over a broken romance, Christian is through. He’s been quietly lusting after Shelly at work, and he’s not wasting any more time. There’s something about her that makes him believe she’s the one. Unfortunately, Shelly’s kickboxing instructor, Lance—Christian’s best friend—has set his sights on the sweet blonde as well.
Instead of pistols at dawn, the two friends come up with a deliciously erotic answer to their shared dilemma—if the shy beauty will accept their racy proposal.

Warning: There is a chance this story will encourage you to go on a diet and begin an intense exercise regime. After all, flavored body lube is low cal, right? And sex is a great way to burn calories.


My Review:

Five out of Five stars

I absolutely loved this book. This is my first Mari Carr book of this particular series and am now my fingers are itching to one-click the rest of the books! THAT GOOD!

I loved the supporting cast, I can totally see each one having their own book. But what impressed me most was that the supporting characters didn't take away from the main characters like other books do.

My heart went out to each of the threesome. Shelly with how broken down she was, Christian with how he over thought things and Lance with how he wore his heart on his sleeve.

This was a sexy, fun, steamy read that made you root for the main characters in a way I never have. I love watching Shelly grow into a confident woman who believed in herself, instead of placing herself into a wall flower.

I loved how everyone around her saw that beauty in her, and were genuine about it with her.

Lance and Christian are so wonderful to Shelly and in general. I think I have to add them to my book boyfriend list.

REVIEW:

Five out of Five stars

Received an ARC in exchange of an honest review

Catherine Bybee... you are breathtakingly talented!

I absolutely loved Taken by Tuesday. My favorite to date of the Weekday Brides Series.
Both main characters Rick and Judy are incredible people with an deniable attraction to one another that no matter how hard she might try to push him away they can't seem to stay away from one another. She terrified of becoming like most of the girls from her small town the moment she finds the ONE. Terrified of giving up her dreams in exchange of love and a family with Rick. He proves to her that she doesn't have to do that to be with him.

Unexpected tragedy occurs, that as a reader you do not see coming at all. I love the suspense that Bybee creates in this book. I can not wait to see where this series will go next.

Pen Point by Angel Bales is a must!

 

 

 

 

 

Incandesant By River Savage!

Synopsis:
Phoenix ‘Nix’ Knight thought pulling his club out of the illegal shit his Pops got them into was difficult.

Until he meets Kadence.

Kadence Turner has no business lusting over a student’s father, especially the president of the Knights Rebels MC. Nix is crass, obnoxious and dangerously sexy and for some reason, Kadence can’t seem to hate him for it. The bossy biker breaks down her defenses, but unlike the old Kadence, the woman she is today won’t give in without a fight.

The tension is undeniable, the attraction fierce. A man that wants what he wants and a woman that will fight him every step of the way.


My Review:
Five stars!!!!!!!!!!!
***I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. ***


OMG! Let me start off by saying that there has not been an MC book that I have enjoyed like this one. It has great characters, awesome supporting characters that come to life and you can see becoming main ones in the future, without taking away from the main characters on hand.


"Nix" & Kadance and of course Z! OMG I love love love loved these characters! I loved the chemistry between them. They made me laugh out loud, tear up, and smile all the way through the book.

I can not wait to read more from this incredibly talented author.

Beautifully Forgotten By L.A Fiore

 

 

 

Okay my lovely scallywags! Fair warning, this book will cause the severe need of espresso drinks, pots of coffee and chocolate. I stayed up till 3:30a knowing I was going to have to wake up early the next morning... It is THAT good.

 

 

Synopsis:
Successful restaurateur Lucien Black’s blue-green eyes and unattainable attitude drive women wild. But his abandonment issues and criminal past have left him emotionally closed off. When a familiar face shows up for a job interview at his nightclub, the ache he has tried to forget tears at his heart—it’s the girl who once healed him…and then abandoned him.
Darcy MacBride still remembers Lucien’s delicate touch when they were both wildly in love teenagers. His gorgeous eyes had soothed her hurt after she’d been dumped off at the orphanage where Lucien lived. Darcy felt his jagged edges fit perfectly into her own, and she’d planned to spend the rest of her life with him—until a mysterious man warned her away. Now, fourteen years later, she’s ready to endure the torture of Lucien’s indifference and having him as her boss…just to be near him. But when it seems that they might finally take up where they left off, a devastating secret buried in their past threatens to tear them apart again.
L.A. Fiore’s story of smoldering love recaptures the tormented romance of Beautifully Damaged.

My Review:

FIVE OUT OF FIVE!!!
THIS IS A MUST READ!!

So this is book #2 of the series I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you read the first book, not only is it a great story, but you will be less lost as to the characters in book 2.

L.A. Fiore is now one of my favorite authors ever! I love her writing in beautifully Forgotten. I loved the foreshadowing, the imagery that she creates with her words. The characters she creates, small or big all have an impact in the story in a seamless way.

I loved Lucian and Darcy. I loved how broken they were and how together, whether in the past or the future, they prove time and time again how much better they are together. I love how this book had me laughing one moment, on the edge of my seat the next, and sobbing after.
This book is a journey of twists and turns and shows you how connected we all are. I loved it.

My Review:

Holy smoke-A-Roni!!!!!!!!!
Can I just say that I am now officially a K.M. Scott Fangirl. This after ONE book of hers that I have read. Yup. She is THAT good!
Cassian or as his friends and yummy brother/business partners like to call him, Cash. Yup even his name is sexy as heck. He is an incredibly yummy male lead in this steamy book. I fell in love with each and every character that was introduced into this book. From the wo main characters of Olivia Lucas and Cassian March to Olivia's girlfriends, Josie and Erin, to Cash's brother's Stefan and Kane.
The premise of the book taking place around an exclusive member's only club was spectacular. I seriously can not wait to see where Scott will take her readers next!

Worth the Trade by Kristina Mathews= YUM!

Synopsis:

More Than A Game, #2
A ballplayer and a team owner would give anything for a championship—even their hearts… After inheriting majority ownership of the San Francisco Goliaths baseball team, Hunter Collins wants to prove to herself—and the rest of the league—that she’s got what it takes to build a champion. Her first move is to trade for a hot left-fielder. He’s got it all, speed, power, and a desire to win. Not to mention undeniable charm. Marco Santiago is tired of being the new player in town. After four teams in six years, he’s facing free agency at the end of the season. He wants nothing more than a long-term contract and a World Series win. Hitting on his new owner probably isn’t the best way to get it, but love may be the most powerful challenger either of them has ever faced... Warning: Strong language, consummated love scenes, and some baseball clichés.“Smart, fun, and sexy. A great romance read.” –New York Times Bestselling Author, Kat Martin77,606 Words

my review:
four out of five stars.


I enjoyed Worth the Trade. I thought the characters chemistry was off the charts. It was a fun sexy summer read. I liked the twists and turns it takes. I liked how Hunter to me felt real. Real insecurities when dating a man that you feel is out of your league especially when you know the women he has hooked up with.
Marco Santiago was HOT. Sexy. and just swoon worthy. I loved what he did before every game for her!

The Collar of Freedon by Alexandra I

Synopsis:
Amelia Jones knows the truth; she lives and breathes it every day. The endless monotony of a loveless marriage, and years of domestic slavery stretch before her in minutes and hours that are destined to end in a mental breakdown.

Then Alexander Reeves walks through the door.

Her new boss is intriguing, charismatic and clearly driven by unspoken demons, and while Amelia knows she’s playing with fire, she’s relentlessly drawn to the man. Alexander is just as taken by her, but knows that giving into temptation can only end in disaster. When the couple succumb to a passionate, furious battle of the wills, Amelia is thrilled and afraid; Alexander’s erotic preferences are shocking to the uninitiated. The trouble is, wild as his life may seem, Amelia knows that he at least is living. Alexander may bring about her ruin, but he also holds the secret to her salvation, and Amelia prays she might be able to save him too.

My Review:

Five of five stars

An incredible book. I didn't see so many of the things that happen with Alexander and Amelia. I was pleasantly surprised with the story. Fair warming though, this is not for the faint of heart. You have to go in with an open mind.
Amelia Jones is trying to do what is best for her family, living in a monotonous, non loving relationship with her extremely distant husband. Her new boss brings something to life with in her that she didn't expect. Something raw, real, passionate and exquisitely forbidden.
Alexander is a mystery, slowly as a reader, we find tidbits about him. We see the balance of the dominant man he is used to being and the way that he bends for Amelia. Making her unlike any other woman for him.
Things happen... I wont say what... and your heart breaks for Amelia as she discovers the true man she is married to and having to decide between Alexander and her husband.
I seriously enjoyed the writing, the imagery that Alexandra I creates is wonderful as you read this story clearly unfold in your mind. I can not wait for the second part of this story!

As the sole survivor of the attack, she is now a person of interest to the NSA—and especially to Agent Cade O’Reilly. Because Maria is the one woman Cade has never been able to forget.



Years ago, they were closer than either was willing to admit—until Cade disappeared when Maria needed him most. Now he’s sticking by her, whether she likes it or not.

My Review:

Four out of five stars!!

Wow!! I seriously enjoyed this book. I loved how it kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved the chemistry between Maria and Cade. The feelings that are brought out when Maria is in the explosion and after the inability of remembering certain things, as a reader you feel her frustration. I loved the end, so dang sweet.
If you like broody slightly demanding alpha males, strong independent heroines mixed with suspense, you will love this book!
