Now, Brooke is close to a deal for her own show that will launch with the remodel of a popular Austin bar. The problem? The network insists that Spencer step in as her partner.

He’s tried to forget her—but he can’t deny that he still wants her. More than that, he wants to punish her. And so he agrees, but only on terms that are provocative, demanding, and wildly sensual.
It’s the perfect set-up for extracting revenge. But he doesn’t expect to fall for Brooke all over again…

Revenge never looked so hot.

HEAT, an all-new dragon romance from Donna Grant is LIVE!

Heat Cover.jpg



He knew her round eyes and the deep shade of brown along with the band of black that encircled her irises. He knew the slope of her breasts, the indent of her waist, and the flare of her hips. He knew the way she preferred to wear muted colors to help her blend in with a crowd. It had taken one look to put all that to memory, but he found his eyes going to her again and again, as if he couldn’t get enough.

Nikolai is a dragon shapeshifter who knows well the meaning of loss. Orphaned and raised to be a Dragon King, he never accepts defeat. Now, Nikolai prefers his solitude. . .until a beautiful, irresistible woman calls upon him for help—and Nikolai’s whole world goes up in flames.
Ever since MI5 agent Esther woke to discover her mind taken over with magic, she feels like a stranger to herself. She looks to a notorious dragon, one who has the power to help her find her memory. 

But as she and Nikolai come closer to discovering what really happened to her, a dangerous passion ignites between them. Can this lone Dragon King help the woman he’s grown to love to uncover the truth about her past—or will a deep and fiery danger tear them both apart in Heat, the next Dark Kings novel by New York Times bestselling author Donna Grant.

MY REVIEW - 4 STARS

I've been struggling with 'straight forward' contemporary romances of late and thought perhaps it was me 'going off' the genre. Well Ms Bliss has just set me straight because Mend held my attention from the start and didn't let me go until I reach the end of the book.

It felt a little shorter than some of her other books, though it was still a 2.5 hour read so plenty of character development and story too boot. I love a second-chance romance and Mend didn't let me down. There were lies (not by the couple), misunderstandings and secrets to be revealed. Whilst this is very typical of a second chance story, their actions and reactions were so very NOT cliched or predictable. That, for me, made this book stand taller than so many others. Yes there was angst, but there wasn't unnecessary angst caused by a failure to talk to each other.

Evie and Jack are such pleasant, caring and likeable characters that you fall in love with them almost straight away. The whole story had a really gentle, sweet, warm hug feel to it, though you also felt the spark and heat between Jack and Evie. Whilst the steamy scenes were limited, what there was suited to both the plot and the feel of the book - any more would have cheapened this wonderful love story.



It's very different from the hot 'n' raunchy Gallo and Alfa PI books, but then the Takeover Duet have already shown she isn't limited to one style of writing. It is as well written and edited as you would expect from this author. It has a well thought through plot with plenty of supporting characters who add depth, interest and strength to the book. I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in seeing more of these characters too.










Chelle Bliss is the USA Today bestselling author of Misadventures of a City Girl, the Men of Inked series, Enshrine, and the ALFA Investigations series. She hails from the Midwest, but currently lives near the beach even though she hates sand. She's a full-time writer, time-waster extraordinaire, social media addict, coffee fiend, and ex high school history teacher. She loves spending time with her two cats, alpha boyfriend, and chatting with readers.

BOOK RELEASE AND REVIEW ----------- HOUND (Cerberus 2.0 Book #2) by Marie James




Title: Hound: Cerberus 2.0 Book 2
Series: Cerberus: The Second Generation
Author: Marie James
Genre: MC/Contemporary Romance (Standalone)
Release Date: January 24, 2018



Blurb

My first job with the Cerberus MC was to grab a girl from a seedy bar.  Easy money, right?
The moment I realized the blonde I was hunting wasn’t around, I ended up captivated by a redhead dancing on the stage. With her striking features and sinful body, I knew she was trouble, but that didn’t stop me from making her mine that night.

When I learned that she WAS the job, everything became clouded.

I was only looking for a one night stand, but when the dust settled and she ran, my only desire was to chase her.

Should I risk my job, and quite possibly my life, in order to have her? Would she even stay if I caught her?






MY REVIEW

4.5 STARS

Although there is a big age gap between Hound and Gigi, I didn't find this too taboo or sleazy. For me it helped that she had been living independently and working, rather than still being a young adult reliant on her parents. Whilst it says MC, this is a group of ex-military guys who work as mercenaries but always on the side of good. They aren't MC in the true sense of the word and don't deal in drugs, run guns or live life on the edge of the law.

I liked both main characters and could 'feel' their chemistry and connection. Gigi and Hound's relationship is very sexual and this is one very steamy read. That didn't bother me, but I would have liked more of the book to be about how they built their relationship after returning to New Mexico. We had a lot of insta-lust prior to this but once they were back at Cerberus HQ I didn't really feel their relationship deepening. The time line was also a little jumpy and unclear at this point.

However I thoroughly enjoyed the story and was hooked from the first page. I flew through the book and really didn't want to put it down. I like the author's writing style, enjoyed the plot twists and didn't want the book to end. I'm happy to recommend this book.

✮ (¸.•´✮ (¸.•´VERY IRRESISTIBLE PLAYBOY by Lila Monroe

   

      LMVeryIrresistablePlayboyBookCover6x9_HIGH


Welcome to Billionaire Bachelors Inc, where the sexiest men in the city are about to meet their match… 

Hot bachelor Max Carlisle is heir to a media empire, tabloid catnip, and… wants to hire me to be his fake fiancee. I know what it takes to keep a billionaire in line, but signing up for seven days in close quarters with this Very Irresistible Playboy? It’s just asking for trouble. 

The kind of thrilling, reckless trouble I could use a little more of since my career is currently ass-backwards in a mud bath with six shih-tzus (don’t ask). 

So do I: 
a) Take the job, and bicker wildly every step of the way? 
b) Embark on a mad-cap treasure hunt to claim his billion-dollar inheritance? 
c) Try my hardest not to fall head-over-heels in love with him and wind up having the best sex of my life? 
d) All of the above? 

Something tells me I’m about to be way out of my league… and under the most handsome, infuriating man I’ve ever met. But with a fortune on the line, can we beat out his crazy relatives to win the prize? And will our fake relationship be game over at the finish line? 

Find out in the new sexy, hilarious romantic comedy from Lila Monroe!


MY REVIEW - 
4.5 stars of treasure-hunting goodness.

Whilst I'm not overfond of the billionaire trope, I didn't find it a problem in this book. I think that's due to the light-hearted rom-com element. Whilst the books are not necessarily packed with laugh-out-loud moments, they are very witty, well written and highly entertaining. Best of all the humour is very organic, having a very natural and unforced feel to it. I've read quite a few books by this author now and have never been disappointed. Whilst she has a distinctive style, every plot is unique and each set of characters is fresh.

Hallie has appeared in both Perfect Match and Christmas with the Billionaire, though you really don't need to have read either book to enjoy this one. She is a really strong and well organised character, but has the same worries and insecurities as the rest of us. Hallie is immensely likeable and is a key feature of what makes this book so good.

We don't get as many chapters from Max's POV, just enough to really get a feel of him. Despite appearing to be a jet setting playboy, he's actually quite a sweet and slightly insecure man. I loved how he developed and grew during the story.

The pair are amazing together, their chemistry is intense and was really believable. Even as the lines blurred for them in their pretend relationship, they blurred for me too. This couple were made for each other and certainly steamed up my kindle!

If you're looking for a fun, captivating, well written and totally enjoyable read then I highly recommend this book as one to try.

  “I think we should establish some ground rules,” I announce, as we drive along the curving ocean road. Palm trees are swaying, the ocean is glittering aquamarine blue, and it’s all so gorgeous and romantic, I need to cling to some semblance of professionalism. 

Max groans. “Do we have to?” 

“Yes,” I say firmly. “We’re pretending to be in a relationship, so things could get . . .” Hot . . . Tempting . . . “Complicated,” I finally decide. 

“OK.” Max sounds amused. “What did you have in mind?” 

“No touching below the waist,” I say. “No PDA except holding hands and quick kisses. No tongue. And no talking about our imaginary sex life.” I’m a little too hot and bothered just imagining we have an imaginary sex life. 

“Fine.” Max grins. “I promise not to ravish you in front of my entire family.”

RELEASE BLITZ IMPERFECT MONSTER by Jennifer Bene




Title: Imperfect Monster
Author: Jennifer Bene
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: January 20, 2018



Blurb

Cold, ruthless, vicious.

I’m Paulo García’s monster, and I’d swallowed that bitter pill whole, learned to deal with it… until she stormed into the house like some avenging Valkyrie.

Brave, stupid, beautiful.

Nicky just wants to save her brother. She showed up with an envelope full of cash and a smart mouth and found herself in a den of monsters. I wish I could say I was the best of them, I wish I could say I wanted to protect her — but I’m far from perfect and she’s so damn sweet.

And all I want is a taste before this world destroys her.






MY REVIEW

5 STARS

Wow, finally a book labelled as dark that truly is dark. This is the somewhat violent, often twisted and definitely dubious and steamy story of Nicky and Andre. And what a well written, attention holding, mind-blowing story it is. There are parts of this I'm not sure that I should enjoy, and other parts that I read whilst hiding behind a cushion ..... reactions that only a really good dark read will elicit.

Nicky is a strong female, whose naive innocence leads her into a nightmare situation, one where death would be a blessing. However she is a light that calls to Andre's black soul, the monster wants to save her from others, but will she survive him? 

Andre wasn't quite as black as he painted himself. His soul had a teeny, tiny chink of light in it - or perhaps it wasn't quite as pitch dark as the rest of it. He'd once been good but too long in a dark and violent underworld had stripped his humanity. However Nicky could see, and brought out, the good in him. But don't be fooled - this is Jennifer Bene with one of her dark reads and the heroine will have to survive some horrendous ordeals. Andre's not a hero, but I can guarantee that by the end of the book you will love him. This just goes to show how talented the author is at crafting deranged and dangerous anti-heroes that we just can't resist.

You know you'll be rooting for Andre to become Nicky's knight in shining armour. However that isn't what he wants to be, or can be and there will be parts of this book that are both unexpected and difficult to read. They are also what makes this such a gripping story. The writing is excellent, I flew through the story, totally mesmerised by it and unable to put it down until it was finished. 

It's not a book for the feint of heart but if you like dark you'll love this.
