It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover Genre: Contemporary Romance 5 STARS

Master Professor by Tara Sue Me Genre: BDSM 4 STARS Master Professor is the first in a new series for New York Times Bestselling author Tara Sue Me and I was intrigued with the premise of this book from the moment I read the blurb. Andie Lincoln is madly in love with her famous boyfriend and when she discovers he's a dominant she begs him to get her enrolled into the exclusive school <i>Rack Academy</i>. A school that teaches students how to be submissive/dominant. With her boyfriend's crazy schedule he is unable to go with her so Andie is submissive without a dominant. Her professor Fulton Matthews wants nothing to do with teaching Andie and unfortunately for him, circumstances find him being her top. When Andie finds herself daydreaming about her professor things start to really pick up. The chemistry between Andie and Fulton is something you grab onto right away. The beginning was a bit slow for me but overall a great story and I totally recommend this book for those that like light BDSM stories. *ARC provided for honest review.

*Confession time - this is my first Colleen Hover book! I can't believe it myself. I have most of them on my Kindle and I even have her first two books signed (the indie copies) but I've never gotten around to reading any of her work. If you blog you get how backed up you can get and reading for pleasure sort of takes a back seat. However, after reading this book I'm going to binge read everything she's written! This book was the best book I think I've read all year! I'm not sure my review can do this book justice. Colleen's words sort of just float off the page and makes you want to stop everything in your life just to sit on a chair and read. It's been a long time since I read a book that did that to me. Lily had what appeared to be the perfect life growing up to any outsider but in reality she grew up in a house where her father abused her mother often. Other than her journal, she had no one to share her thoughts and fears with until she noticed a boy heading into an abandon house behind hers. She soon realized she knew him (or at least saw him in the halls of her high school) and she quickly befriended him. Atlas Corrigan turns out to

be her first love and their time together has stayed with her to present day. It really was a special relationship. This story goes back and forth from present to past and honestly I usually find this can be confusing to keep track of but with this story it just flowed. In present day Lily is living in Boston, opening her own business and is soon involved with Ryle, a handsome doctor who is charismatic, charming and super hot! The two stories will have you going back and forth with your emotions. I know I was both #TeamAtlas and #TeamRyle while reading. Lily has to be one of the strongest woman in the world. She had me in tears so many times. Her story is heartbreaking and inspiring. I never wanted this story to end. I was so upset when it was over I just needed to know more about her life. I feel like I rambled during this review. It's so hard to put in words how I felt about this story. It was unbelievable and incredible. I totally recommend this book and trust me there's so much more to this story that I purposely didn't include because you should really just read it and uncover it all for yourself. Five stars is just not enough for this book. Go get it now! *ARC provided for honest review.

This book shredded me!!!

Kim Jones tells an amazing story and she's quickly moved up to one of my favorite I just finished this book and even as I write authors. I can't wait to dig into the next book. this I'm still emotional. To prevent giving anything away that would ruin this for I honestly don't know what else to write someone my review will not touch on the without adding spoilers so I'll stop but please parts that I really want to write about. go get this book. It's AMAZING!!!! This book is about Dirk. a Nomad MC and *I received this book from the publisher and Saylor, a girl he runs into over many years provided my honest review. and they never talk to one another and never had any contact other than looks across rooms. That is until one day when all that changes.

Sinner's Creed by Kim Jones Genre: MC Romance 5 STARS

Their story is one I've never read before. Their chemistry is immediate and their love is one that will stay with you. For me, Sinner's Creed is the BEST MC BOOK I'VE EVER READ and I think that's because it is so darn different. It's not just a book, it's a journey and an experience that I will not soon forget. I felt it all.

Ryan's Letter's by Jax Jillian Genre: Contemporary Romance 5 STARS

Provocative by Lisa Renee Jones Genre: Romatic Suspense 5 STARS

IA few years ago I was contacted to review a book that completely floored me. To this day, that book is still one of my all time favorite books, its still the most beautifully written, amazingly tragic book I've ever read, and it was a debut novel. The writing and the story itself are just eloquent. It was also one of the very FEW debut books I have ever given 5 stars to - if I could I would give it 50,000 stars, it deserves them, it deserves to be on every bestseller's list out there and it deserves awards out the wazoo. That book was Larkin's Letters which is the predecessor to Ryan's Letters.

There is a reason why I rate this author so highly and why she is one of my goto authors. Because her stories are absolutely amazing. When it comes to steamy romantic suspense you really can't get much better than a LRJ book and Provocative does not disappoint.

Ryan's Letters is just as amazing as Larkin's Letters was. It is just as eloquently written and just as beautifully tragic. Ryan Boone has lost the love of his life, his true soulmate and he is drowning in grief. Just as Larkin wrote to Ryan, Ryan decides to now write to Larkin and in his letters he voices the feelings he keeps hidden from everyone else. When Larkin starts appearing to Ryan reading his letters my heart just broke. I could actually see in my head and feel the lime is short.

ove flowing between these two. Through his letters and Larkin's visits, Larkin begins to help Ryan through his grieving and to continue on with his life which includes meeting someone new and learning to also let that person be there for him through his healing. In Ryan's Letters we also get one more of Larkin's letters, one she had written to her parents. This was my favorite letter of the book, it totally caved my heart in but I was so happy for the closure it gave her parents.

I loved everything about Faith and Nick's story and I can't wait for the next book. Their draw to each other is instant and all consuming, but there is something sinister going on somewhere, a thread of danger, suspense and white lies that could be their undoing before they even really get started. This book is simply unputdownable. *ARC provided for honest review.

READ THESE BOOKS, its all I can say, you won't be sorry. You will however need an entire case of tissues. In 2 books this amazing author has captured and portrayed the ultimate love story, one that is for a lifetime and beyond even when that lifet *ARC provided for honest review.

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review. Even if you're not a baseball fan there's enough romance in this story to overcome the game. HA! I don't like watching baseball, but reading about hot players is a whole other story. :-) So Easton Wylder is injured. He has to have physical therapy in order to be allowed to play again - says his contract and the new GM for the team. Cute Scout Datlton. She's his new therapist. Their beginning is very typical of what you'd think a player's prankster friends would put together. However Scout just uses it as ammunition to assume Easton is like every other players she's met and interacted with.

The Player (The Player, #1) by K. Bromberg Genre: Contemporary Romance 4 STARS

Now he's on a mission. Proving her wrong that he's not the one who hurt her. He's more than the summation of his previous sexcapades. Good luck, dude. HA! So he sets out to get her to really see him. She continues to hide. Major secret she's holding onto - that could

A was gifted a copy of this book from the author for an honest review. Oh my gosh! I have been raving about this book for a week - ever since I finished reading it. If you're an Alessandra Torre reader I would peg Love in Lingerie as a cross between the Innocence series and the Dumas Diaries. I didn't want to put this book down. It's story line covers two individuals - one who owns a lingerie company and the other would would love to work in lingerie.

Love in Lingerie by Alessandra Torre Genre: Erotic Romance 5 STARS

Trey Marks owns Marks Lingerie and it's in need of a rescue. On the hunt for a creative director to help him pull the company back into the black he wasn't expecting Kate Martin when she walks into his office. It's quite hard to remind himself of the no fraternization policy he has firmly in place. Though her boss is insanely hot and makes her feel things she's never felt even with one look - Kate can't screw up this job. People's lively hoods are at stake as well as the company itself. Working day to day with Trey is definitely a challenge though it has it's perks as well.

cost her a major contract as well as her career. She has to remember keep a clear mind and hard heart. It's her daddy's mantra. Clear Mind. Hard Heart. Then she can't get played. She won't be hurt. She'll stay on course and get the one thing her daddy always wanted... I've only met one person in life that allowed their parent to dictate what they were going to do with their life. I can't imagine not standing up for what *I* wanted. Isn't that the whole point of free will? Not that I think Scout couldn't choose to do something for herself - she just loved her daddy so much she didn't want to be a disappointment. Gosh, can you imagine the pressure?! Then you have Easton's dad - where Easton can never do anything right. No matter how many wins he has. His dad always pushes him to do better. Someone break the cycle already! If you like to read romances where the characters are trying to find their footing amongst finding their parents dreams - The Player is definitely one you have to read.

Success breeds success. Trey and Kate have it in spades with her new designs and ideas for Marks Lingerie. Just the looks these two give each other are panty melting. You can just feel the tension building between them. I can't say enough about this story. Their love story - years in the making. Heartwarming. Attention getting. Captivating. Amazing. Definitely a favorite.

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review. The Doms of Genesis are at it again! :-) I really like how these stories showcase the relationship all the Masters have in this club as well as their willingness to help the submissions. Even come to their rescue if needed...as it should be in the dungeon. Each one of these can be read as standalone novels. You will see the other characters throughout the series though.

Resisting My Submission by Jenna Jacob Genre: Contemporary Romance 4 STARS

It's funny to see two Dominates try to have vanilla sex with each other. I laughed a time or two at these two characters. You can't have your cake and eat it too! I enjoyed their story. Not a lot of BDSM in this particular novel but enough that their nature is included and intertwined in the story line. If you're a fan of BDSM stories, erotic romances even, give this one a try. Definitely one you should have on your ereader.

This particular edition of the series features a Dom and a Domme. Their attraction is evident the second they set eyes on each other. Max and Sammie keep coming back to one another. Even though they're both Dominates in the same club. Mistress Sammie has a secret though. One she can't let Master Max know about. It would destroy her all over again if he were to break down her walls. So they'll just have sex and be done with it. Get it out of their system and be friends. You know how that goes right?

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

David is sweet and endearing. He's definitely the hero you're rooting for.

His to Seduce is the fourth book in the Fireside series but it can be read as a stand alone. In this edition we have Camden, who is skittish around men and has quite a bit of hangups, and David a bartender.

I would recommend you check out this novel by Stacey Lynn and see if you agree. I hope you like it, as I did.

Of course not everything is as it seems. Both characters have their fair share of secrets. Neither are willing to share. A weekend of fun and bliss on a remote island away from their responsibilities and issues is just what brought these two together. I think you know when there are secrets that cloud a relationship they're going to eventually come back to bite you on the butt. Such as it does in this particular novel.

His to Seduce by Stacey Lynn Genre: Contemporary Romance 4 STARS

Camden, as I mentioned, has a lot of hangups. I just kept shaking my head over here the entire story. You know those characters you just want to shake to get them to get a clue...she's one of them for me.

European Tour (Rocking The Pop Star, #1) by LV Lewis Genre: Rockstar Romance 5 STARS

Token (Daring The Kane Brothers) by Kelly Gendron Genre: Erotic Contemporary Romance 5 STARS

If you are looking for a fast feel-good rock romance this is the book for you. It gave me everything that I like in bringing me the inner workings of music along with chemistry between a pop princess and a bad boy rock star. Skylar is the pop star with a stage mom that could only make you cringe; her mom not only ran Skylar’s professional life but her personal life as well. Then we have Brody who was a rock star from a few years ago who gave it all up after his girlfriend and backup singer died of a drug overdose. Brody’s stage name of Savage Saban was the driving force of Kim’s death because he was the one to introduce her to drugs. Brody/Savage’s life was so wrapped up in drugs and groupies and he was spiraling out of control faster than anyone could help. After Kim’s death he stepped out of the lime light and hid under his given name eventually getting clean and giving up music. Now he was hired as a PA for the beautiful pop star, Skylar. He hid his identity very well and was a huge help to Skylar since he knew the ins and outs of the music business. Sky

I became a fan of Kelly Gendron with the Declan brothers’ series so when I see the spinoff from this series on the Kane brothers I had to pick this up and am I glad that I did. We are first introduced to Token Kane as he is trying to save someone who is determined to end her life. The man who helped Token out after his ordeal on the bridge is the same man who helped Token fulfill his dream of being a boxer. That didn’t last for long as an incident in a bar scarred Token and he gave up on the promising career in boxing. Eventually he has come to terms with what happened and has moved forward in his life. Now he is employed by Bronx to do various “jobs” for him one of which is bringing Harley Redbourne back to him. Token has no idea what her relationship to Bronx is nor does he care…that is until he meets her. Harley has had a tough life and is struggling with her past. Then Token comes into her life and the two have a connection that neither of them understands. It’s a great romance story of one has come to terms with not letting the past define his future and the other is struggling with her past and doesn’t know how to live in her future.

has eyes for this extremely good looking man and she was determined to show him she isn’t the innocent girl that many thought of her. The thing was if her mother would let anything like that happen especially if it could jeopardize her daughter’s career. How far was her mother willing to go to make sure that Sky and Brody never had a chance? Would Brody’s past be seedy enough to turn Sky against him once she found out the truth? As I said this was a feel-good rock romance that has hooked me and I am definitely looking forward to reading World Tour which is the second book of this series. *ARC provided for honest review.

As in her past books Ms. Gendron has a knack for pulling you in and keeping you on the edge of your seat for the entire book just waiting to see if her characters will make it through and if they do what is the cost to them personally. She sure knows how to throw in surprises along the way too! I definitely cannot wait to see what she has in store for the rest of the Kane brothers because she has already built a great basis for each of them. If you have not read the Declan brothers series I would definitely recommend them as well. I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley for a freely given and honest review.

Who wouldn’t love to have a Chad in their life? This is a guy who was a guitar player in a band, he was sexy, he believed in Crystal, protected her, someone she could lean on in the worst of situations and he was also the guy who loved her. Crystal didn’t want to jeopardize the amazing friendship they have had all of these years so she wasn’t willing to take a chance on the feelings that she also had for Chad. Did her turn her on…hell, yes! Did he make her jealous when he was with other women? Yep. But none of this was worth the risk of losing her best friend.

Reckless by Bella Jeanisse Genre: Contemporary Romance 5 STARS

Within this story we see Crystal join the band and all the ups and downs she and Chad have trying to keep their band and their friendship on track. There is plenty of sex, betrayals and secrets that make this a book that you won’t put down. I was so drawn in to these people I can’t wait to read what is next for everyone. I received this book as an ARC for a freely given and honest review.

Ivi is a young woman from Estonia who volunteers her time worldwide helping those who need it but now has taken a nanny position in the U.S. trying to earn money so she can go to Nepal for her next mission work six months from now. Six months at a nanny position for a little boy who I think is the most adorable kid around. He’s ten but is well beyond his years in a wealth of knowledge. It probably helps that his mom is a renowned professor with one little secret she has been keeping from Jeremy…his dad is the world famous rock star, Tyler Lee. Now that Melena has to leave the country for work for six months and it is no place for Jeremy, he is going to be meeting his dad for the very first time.

Unplugged by Sigal Ehrlich Genre: Contemporary Romance 5 STARS

Jeremy is scared and nervous with all of the changes but he and Ivi hit it off immediately. Ivi is very personable, funny and caring and has a love for children which is easy when she has a charge like Jeremy she easily falls for this little boy. Speaking of falling how do you not fall for one of the hottest rock stars in the world whose home you are now living in for the next six months?

One of the numerous bits of information that Jeremy shared one day was that the heart can actually break and I have to say that this author had a way of writing this story that you thought at times your heart was breaking. Ms. Ehrlich wrote about love, passion and taking chances. Will the bond that Ivi forms with Jeremy and Tyler Lee be enough to keep her from going to her mission work in Nepal or will Jeremy go back to his mothers and Tyler Lee will continue to be the elusive playboy rock star that won’t settle with just one woman? This is book one in a series and I cannot wait for the next book to come out. I HAVE to know if Ivi and Tyler have an actual chance at anything more and what is Jeremy going to think of all of this if things actually do come out and you know they will because Tyler Lee is front and center for paparazzi. I have just found myself a new rock romance author that knows how to write giving you a glimpse at the rocker’s life along with knowing how to keep you engaged in a book so much so that you feel emotionally invested in this story. *ARC from NetGalley for a freely given and honest review.

Lip Service by Penny Wylder Genre: Contemporary Romance 4 STARS If you are looking for a short and steamy read that has a redeeming quality to it, Lip Service is for you. Mayra’s longtime boyfriend took her by surprise when he ended their relationship and his reasoning took Mayra’s self-confidence and smashed it all to he*l. Bryan told Mayra that she sucked at sex…or didn’t suck the right way evidently. Mayra was doubting herself but wanted to do something about it so she went to a sex class hoping to learn what she had been doing so wrong making her feel worthless. Philip was filling in for his best friends girlfriend teaching a class on how to give memorable bl*wjobs. Philip did make mention that he wasn’t sure if he was the man for this job because he has only been on the receiving end of this particular act. So now you have guessed that Mayra happened to be one of his pupils. Was Mayra really as bad as her boyfriend said or was he just a heartless bas*ard that could only put himself up by putting her down? Was Philip the type to mix business with pleasure? It was more than just an erotic read because it told you to look inside yourself to see what your worth was and not get it second hand from anyone else. I received this book as an ARC for a freely given honest review.

Hooked by Christina Phillips Genre: MC Romance 5 STARS This is not your hardcore biker book but it does give you a hot alpha man who is coming to terms that a woman can actually touch his heart. He is used to women touching everything but his heart so this is all new territory to him. Zach felt an attraction to Grace the moment she walked in to a biker bar that night. Things couldn’t go worse for Grace that rainy night when she finally had enough courage to dump her fiancé, she gets lost after a detour, then her car breaks down in a bad neighborhood, and her phone is dead. She has no choice but to walk into this seedy bar hoping to use a phone in order to get help. It just so happens her help comes in the form of a hot, sexy guy wearing a biker’s cut and is covered in tats. What better way to get over her breakup than to take a walk on the wild side with this sexy as hell biker; it’s not like she will see him tomorrow. Grace is tired of being the nice, rich girl who has had her life mapped out for her by her family and exfiancé. What will one night of down and dirty sex matter? It’s not like anyone will find out, right? This is a book will steam up your windows and will captivate you with the path that Zach and Grace take. This is a romantic read with a little bit of dirty thrown in. I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley for a freely given honest review.

Beautiful Mess by Kasey Lane Genre: MC Romance 4 STARS Jax is a talented artist/tattoo artist along with being the drummer of the band Manix Curse that is just ready to break out. What happens when his best friend’s sister who he walked away from five years ago comes into his shop? Jami is a hard working attorney who has family issues and those issues ended up chasing Jax away all those years ago. Is Jami ever going to stick up for herself and is Jax deserving of a second chance? I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley for a freely given and honest review.
