My Review:
Five out of Five stars

Enemies on Tap by Avery Flynn came out to being a total and utter surprise.
An utterly heart-warming, delightfully charming surprise.
Miranda Sweet's ancestors were a bit nutty, and the small town of Salvation knew it. They judged the Sweets by the faults of the people in the past. Logan Martin is the small town's royal prince.
Once upon a time in their high school days Miranda and Logan had tried to forget that their families were enemies, but it didn't work.

Now years later, Miranda is back in the small town trying to salvage her family's brewery. The problem is that Logan has other plans for the land in which the brewery stands.
I seriously enjoyed Flynn's writing. It was witty, funny, sexy and sweet. I loved the two main characters that she created into modern day Rome and Juliet with a twist. I fell in love with the small town of Salvation, the supporting characters, the foreshadowing (that I at least personally hope Flynn created) for future books that will take place in Salvation.
Enemies on Tap made my heart freeze at times, sink to my toes while made me laugh out loud at some of the situations. It was sexy and sweet!
A total must read!

Her Temporary Hero by Jennifer Apodaca

synopsis:

Former beauty queen Becky Holmes and her baby are on the run from her dangerous ex. With her dreams of love and marriage destroyed, she’ll do anything to protect her child…even agree to hide out in her boss’s cousin’s house while he’s away.
Wealthy, sexy, and emotionally haunted Logan Knight needs a temporary wife to get his land, per his dad’s rules. No wife, no inheritance. But when that wife lands on his doorstep and comes with a baby, his darkest memories are triggered. He tries to keep his distance, but his efforts are shattered when he starts to have real feelings for his fake wife and child. Just as Logan begins to think he may have a future with Becky, his attempt to have it all backfires into a betrayal that forces Becky into a heart-wrenching choice no woman should ever have to make.

My Review:

Five out of Five

This was my first time reading a book by Jennifer Apodaca and I genuinely enjoyed it.

I love the situation that this book has, where both main characters, Logan and Becky, need something from the other.

Becky is having a hard time, new mom with a tiny baby, strenuous work, her mom just past away and her ex, Dylan, babies father and grade A jerk is now out of prison bent on making her life hell.

Logan needs a wife before he turns thirty, so that he can have the land he wants to use to make a special camp for ex-soldiers with PTSD.

I loved Becky. She was smart, funny, vulnerable with a sprinkle of sassiness that made her different. She loves her child, and is willing to do anything to protect her. I thought Logan is seriously sexy, top notch alpha and just completely swoon worthy.

Loved the book and the supporting characters as well. I was glad that you are not left with too many questions at the end. I hope to read more from this series and author in the future!

Devil In Denim by Melanie Scott and some rich iced coffee

Synopsis:
LIFE JUST THREW HER A CURVEBALL.
As the team-owner’s daughter, Maggie Jameson grew up in the New York Saints’ stadium—glove, cap, hot dogs, and all. Baseball’s in her blood, and she’s always dreamed of the day when she would lead the Saints to victory herself. That was before her dad had to sell the team to Alex Winters. The fast-talking, fiercely attractive businessman has a baseball pedigree that’s distinctly minor league. Maggie wants to hate him but his skills of seduction, however, are off the charts.


WILL LOVE BE A HOME RUN?
Alex could never have imagined how much this team means to Maggie. He needs her to help show the players that they’re still a family…even if he and Maggie are at the verge of exchanging blows. But her fiery determination and gorgeous looks prove irresistible to Alex. And much as he wants to relegate their relationship to the playing field—and get the Saints back in the game—Alex just can’t help himself: What he wants to win most is Maggie’s heart…in The Devil in Denim by Melanie Scott.

My Review:

Four out of Five Stars!!!

This was my first Melanie Scott book, and I must say that I will most definitely keep an eye open for her books in the future.
Maggie Jameson is an intelligent, educated, independent woman who had a plan for her life. A plan that had a curveball thrown at her. Alex Winters is part of the curveball that was thrown at her, even though in her mind he's the devil himself, she finds herself extremely attracted to him.
I have to say that I genuinely liked this book. It was sweet, sexy and charming. There are moments that the thoughts that come from Maggie's head are frustrating, but she is a woman who is also figuring out her own life, and thankfully does it in a manner which has positive results. In a few words, Maggie as a character, even though at time frustrating, is brilliant. She is kind, loving, loyal, and looking out for the main people in the situation that occurs which are The Saints Baseball team.
I loved Alex Winters. He is sexy, charming, real, funny, loyal and slightly cocky. BUt cocky in a way he knows he is that good and can deliver. I liked seeing things from his POV at times, especially the emotional vulnerability  he feels at moments when it comes to Maggie.
Awesome summer read!

Pen Point by Angel Bales

So this weekend I won a copy of a book titled Pen Point by Angel Bales. I was  super excited because I had seen teasers of it through various blog pages on facebook and it had called my attention so much that I had added it to my Amazon wishlist. So I was super excited.... long story short I totally stayed up waaaaaaaay toooo late to read it and was soooo NOT disappointed about it. I FREAKING LOVE this book! 

Let me break it down for you:

Synopsis:

Tambria is a beautiful, intelligent, sexy woman in her 30's. She's responsible, has a degree in accounting and avoids drama at all costs. So how does she deal when she finds her husband having playtime with a male co-worker? A cross-country move seems like the perfect plan.

Roxtown, Colorado has the perfect solution. Her best friend from college is there with an immediate job offer to join the family firm. Things just seem to be falling into place when Tambria is given an amazing opportunity to work with one of the wealthiest CEO's in the country. Not only is he wealthy, but he can melt panties right off your ass with just his presence.

Tambria refuses to join the flocks of women that fall all over themselves to catch Evan's attention. Yes, he can be distracting. Especially when he looks at her like he's ready to throw her up against the nearest wall and do things to her body that she's never experienced before. She's determined to stay focused on her career and adjusting to being a single woman again. Can she handle the job and keep her heart and underwear in tact?


NOW tell me does that not call you?
Doesn't it make you think holy smokes what would I do in a situation like that? It totally did to me. I mean how much would that suck you walking in and your hubs getting it up the.... well you get the idea.

Now let me tell you that YES Evan Maxfeild is sexy and hot. He has a whole opposite Kent Clark thing going on. He's like sexy Kent Clark in suits and out of suits he's a bad boy tattoo sporting badass alpha with a superb heart of gold that doesn't play games.

He is wonderful BUT he was not my favorite part of this book... he was superb and yummy but not my #1 fav thig.

My #1 favorite thing about this book was Cammie and Bree. Their friendship with one another. It was real. It made me miss my best friend horribly. It made me want to pick up the phone at two am and call her. I didn't it was 2 am and we both have kids. I loved  seeing that sisterhood in tact. That even though her bestie grabbed the attention of a billionaire never at one moment was Cammie jealous or petty or dramatic... she is but its more for humor than anything. 

I also loved the realness of Bree and her situation. Her marriage dissolved, the way it did would give anyone a complex. Yes she fell apart slightly, but she also knew when it was time to stand on her own two feet and move forward. She also knew how to ask or lean on others for help. She decides to do this BEFORE an attraction to Evan too so its not like she is making a change in her life because of a man.

MY REVIEW:

I loved Pen Point! FIVE stars!!!!


Angel Bales is a fantastic writer. I loved the connection between Tambria (female lead) and her best friend Cammie. It was positive and inspiring watching how Cammie helps Bree through her divorce with her own kind of humor.

Bree is recently divorced, picking up the pieces of her life with the help of her best friend from college, Cammie.

Evan Maxfeild is an incredibly handsome, sexy billionaire that Cammie and Bree end up having to workalong side with.

Evan and Bree's connection is visable from the start and if frightens Bree.
I enjoyed the humor, the witty banter between women. I liked that it showed that women could support one another with out petty drama and jealousy.
Really Enjoyed Pen Point, can't wait to read Angel Bales future books.

Iron Cross by Bianca Sommerland!!!!!!!

Too many penalties may leave the goal vulnerable without the IRON CROSS.

After overcoming a potentially career-ending concussion, Tyler Vanek, Dartmouth Cobras’ first line forward, couldn’t be happier with his life. Until his boyhood hero-worship for Raif Zovko, a newly acquired player, develops into more. His mistress, ‘Chicklet’ encourages him to explore his feelings, and with her enjoyment of toying with the powerful Dom, Tyler figures it might be fun.

Laura Tallent, a dedicated officer with the Halifax PD, and Chicklet’s first sub, is tired of Tyler’s fun disrupting the structure of her world. Devotion to her mistress kept her silent for two years, but a horrible case and more proof that Tyler is the worst sub in existence has her wondering how much better life would be if he was someone else’s problem. Someone like Raif.

Raif won’t deny the lust he feels for Tyler, but he refuses to play games with a young man who’s questioning his sexuality

—he won’t be an experimental phase for an unruly submissive. But when Laura draws him into a plan to remove Tyler from her poly relationship with Chicklet, his protective instincts take over. He partners with Chicklet to protect Tyler and dig deeper into the reasons behind Laura’s scheming. Chicklet clearly loves her boy, she won’t let him go. And before long, Raif realizes neither can he.

Blindsided by the discord in her household, Chicklet struggles to fulfill her subs’ needs as their careers throw challenges at them all. Control is slipping from her hands, but with Raif by her side, she prays her relationships can be saved. Salvaging the future means rebuilding with a new foundation. But the only way to make the base solid is for them all to work together. And with all the secrecy and lies, she has no idea where to start.

Author’s Note: The Cobras series has a continuing arc about the franchise, players, and previous relationships. Some plots continue through the series and may involve more than the main ménage. The series is best read in order.

Tyler inhaled to replace all the air he’d let out in the rush of words. Then he tugged at his bottom lip with his teeth. "And Raif… I don’t know how I feel about him. And I blame you guys."

"I blame us too," Scott held up the bottle in cheers before tipping it to his lips. After he swallowed, he held the bottle with both hands and grinned at Tyler. "We’ve corrupted you. You see how good we’ve got it, just loving who we love, not giving a shit what anyone thinks."

Luke rolled his eyes and bumped Tyler’s knee with his fist. "It’s the drunk voice of reason. Listen up."
Tyler shook his head. "But that’s it. I’m not like you guys. I’ve never tried anything with a—never wanted to…" He groaned when Scott and Luke just stared at him, waiting. "He’s a boy!"


"Raif’s a man, Tyler. And you’re a man. And you don’t think men should do stuff." Luke sighed. "You don’t know what you’re missing."

"And the last person you should be starting with is Raif." Scott’s tone grew bitter as he glared at the wall. "I don’t trust him."

"Me neither." Luke’s lips twisted like he was thinking hard. "We started angel boy’s corruption. We should finish it."

Ha! Like I can get any worse. Tyler hung his head, remembering how mad he’d made Chicklet. Well, maybe not mad. Disappointed. And not because he’d played after getting hurt, but because he’d made a decision and then acted like he couldn’t take two steps without her waving pom-poms at him.

Laura was Chicklet’s slave and she needed Chicklet taking away all her choices when she wasn’t at work. From the clothes she wore to what she ate. He and Chicklet had talked once about whether he needed something like that and the answer had been a great big "No."

He didn’t want to be a slave and he wasn’t a kid. Maybe that’s what he could do to make Chicklet proud of him.

Prove it.

He looked at Scott, then shook his head. "Scott’s having enough trouble with Raif and Pearce. He can’t be finishing anything."

"I agree." Luke’s eyes drifted shut and his lips slanted in a sleepy smile. "Guess I gotta do it."

Might as well just go for it. Tyler wet his lips with his tongue and leaned over Luke. Took a deep breath and tried to hear Chicklet’s voice. But that was the problem, wasn’t it? He wouldn’t prove nothin’ by asking her what he should do, even if it was in his own damn head. She encouraged him to try new things. The way their relationship was set up, he had a green light for just about anything. So long as it didn’t change how he served her.

And this wouldn’t. This would just…just clear things up.

He moved so fast his lips slammed down on Luke’s. Hurt a bit. Then a lot more when Luke shoved him off and his back hit the pavement.

"What the fuck, Tyler?" Luke’s tone was sharp. He slapped his hand on the center of Tyler’s chest before Tyler could sit up. Cocked his head as Tyler gaped up at him. A devious smile spread across his lips. "If you’re gonna kiss me, wanna make it less like a punch in the mouth?"

"Uh…sorry?" Tyler couldn’t tell whether or not Luke was pissed about the kiss. He didn’t look it. Actually, he looked a little scary. Tyler swallowed. "But I did it and, umm, didn’t do anything for me. I don’t like dudes."

That had both Scott and Luke laughing like freakin’ morons. He tried to push Luke off him. Dropped his head back and sighed heavily when Luke wouldn’t budge.

Luke raked his fingers into Tyler’s curls, bending down, his eyes hooded. "If I didn’t know one kiss would make you think you were in love with my man, I’d ask Seb to do this. Tomorrow, we’ll both agree we were drunk and did some stupid shit. We’re just friends, right?"
"Right." Tyler shivered, something about the way Luke held him, the way he spoke—if they were both wolves in a pack, Luke wouldn’t be the biggest or the strongest, but Tyler would be beneath him. And he could either bare his throat in submission or have it ripped out.


"Relax, kid. I ain’t gonna hurt you." Luke traced Tyler’s bottom lip with his tongue. The liquor on his breath made Tyler’s head spin. He opened his mouth to the kiss, shaking hard as Luke’s tongue touched his, not sure whether he wanted more but pretty damn sure he didn’t want to stop.






Tell you about me? Hmm, well there's not much to say. I love hockey and cars and my kids…not in that order of course! Lol! When I'm not writing—which isn't often—I'm usually watching a game or a car show while working on promo. Going out with my kids is my only down time. I get to clear my head and forget everything.

As for when and why I first started writing, I guess I thought I'd get extra cookies if I was quiet for awhile—that's how young I was. I used to bring my grandmother barely legible pages filled with tales of evil unicorns. She told me then that I would be a famous author.


I hope one day to prove her right.
