NEW RELEASE + GIVEAWAY ~RECKLESS BY LEX MARTIN~

Title: Reckless
Author: Lex Martin
Release Date: February 20, 2018

Tori…
For the record, I’m not going to hook up with my boss.

I'm a lot of things—a screwup, a basket case, a flunky. But when I take a nanny job to be near my pregnant sister, I swear to myself I’ll walk the straight and narrow, which means I cannot fall for my insanely hot boss.

I don't want to be tempted by that rugged rancher. By his chiseled muscles or southern charm or the way he snuggles his kids at bedtime. Ethan Carter won't get the key to my heart, no matter how much I want him. 

Ethan…
Between us, she's the last thing I need as I finalize my hellish divorce. 

What sane man trying to rebuild his life wants a hot nanny with long, sexy hair, curves for miles, and a smart mouth? A perfectly kissable, pouty mouth that I shouldn't notice.

My focus is on my kids and my ranch, not the insufferable siren who sleeps in the room next to mine. It doesn't matter that she wins over my kids in a heartbeat or runs my life better than I do. Tori Duran is the one woman I can't have and shouldn't want, no matter how much I crave her. 



Lex writes contemporary romance, the sexy kind with lotsa angst, a whole lotta kissing, and the hot happily ever afters. When she's not writing, she lives a parallel life as an English teacher. She loves printing black and white photos, listening to music on vinyl, and getting lost in a great book. Bitten by wanderlust, she's lived all over the country but currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and twin daughters.

NEW RELEASE REVIEW ~MORE THAN LOVE YOU BY SHAYLA BLACK~

Title: More Than Love You
Author: Shayla Black
Series: More Than Words #3
Release Date: February 13, 2018
More Than Love You, an all-new sexy romance from New York Times and USA Today bestselling Shayla Black is coming February 13th! 

I’m Noah Weston. For a decade, I’ve quarterbacked America’s most iconic football team and plowed my way through women. Now I’m transitioning from star player to retired jock—with a cloud of allegation hanging over my head. So I’m escaping to the private ocean-front paradise I bought for peace and quiet. What I get instead is stubborn, snarky, wild, lights-my-blood-on-fire Harlow Reed. Since she just left a relationship in a hugely viral way, she should be the last woman I’m seen with.

On second thought, we can help each other…

I need a steady, supportive “girlfriend” for the court of public opinion, not entanglements. Harlow is merely looking for nonstop sweaty sex and screaming orgasms that wring pleasure from her oh-so-luscious body. Three months—that’s how long it should take for us both to scratch this itch and leave our respective scandals behind. But the more I know this woman, the less I can picture my life without her. And when I’m forced to choose, I’ll realize I don’t merely want her in my bed or need her for a ruse. I more than love her enough to do whatever it takes to make her mine for good.

More Than Love You is a sexy and emotional standalone novel in the More Than Words Series.
Noah and Harlow are my favorite!! This book was so much of EVERYTHING! Cute and SUPER sexy couple. High emotional involvement. A storyline that hooked me from the first scene all the way until THE END. Just so much of everything that I have come to expect from Shayla Black in her books. MORE THAN LOVE YOU is a wonderfully written and amazingly delivered. Noah and Harlow both have their secrets, and their issues. But together they find the solutions to those things. They help one another ease the pain or pressure, and give the greatest of distractions in the form of red-hot chemistry.

I fell in love with Noah and Harlow quite easily. They're those characters that just jump right off the page and feel so very real. And even more so, the characters surrounding them were hilarious and enticing in their own rights. MORE THAN LOVE YOU is a perfect weekend read, that kept me up long into daybreaking hours. But I just needed MORE! Terrific read and highly recommended!

Happy Reading!

REVIEW ~THE WRONG KIND OF LOVE BY LEXI RYAN~

Title: The Wrong Kind of Love
Author: Lexi Ryan
Release Date: February 12, 2018

From New York Times bestseller Lexi Ryan comes a sexy new standalone romance novel about a runaway bride, a single dad who’s sworn off love, and the kind of family secrets that can threaten to break even the deepest bonds.
***
You never forget your wedding day. Or the moment your twin sister pukes on your bouquet and confesses she’s pregnant . . . with your fiancĂ©’s baby.

I wanted to get away, to hide until my heart mended. I found myself in a strange town with a mysterious stranger whose talented mouth and hands almost made me forget it was supposed to be my wedding night.

Afraid to go home to face my broken life, I pretend to be my twin so I can take her job in Jackson Harbor caring for a six-year-old girl. Imagine my surprise when I find out my new boss is my mysterious stranger—Dr. Ethan Jackson.

I never meant for Ethan to discover my secrets. I never meant for them to matter. But the longer I work with him and his sweet daughter, the harder I fall, and the clearer it becomes that I’m not the only one carrying a secret that could tear us apart.

Get ready to fall for the boys of Jackson Harbor in Lexi Ryan’s sexy new contemporary romance series. These books can all be read as standalones, but you’ll enjoy reading them as a series!
Oh, this book made me feel ALL THE FEELS!! Lexi Ryan has long been one of my top favorite authors, but I think she's outdone herself to a whole new level with THE WRONG KIND OF LOVE! First off, single dad romance is one of my favorite tropes right now. Secondly, adding in the nanny angle, just made if even more up my avenue. Ethan and Nicole are something... when they're together it's perfect, and undeniable and just blissful for my reader heart. But the getting there, and the climax of the book just gutted me. The beginning... well... As much as Lexi Ryan can write character that I love and adore, which include Ethan and Nicole completely, the beginning of this book proved to me she can write mean, spiteful and irredeemable characters just as well. I mean WOW do I have a strong distaste for two of the characters in this book! BUT I don't want to waste anytime on them. I want to revel in the goodness that is Ethan and Nicole, because their story is worthy of being told. Sweet and sexy. Emotional to the ends of the earth. I wish I was kidding about that last part. I had to mentally prepare myself everytime I picked up this book. And I couldn't read it for too long of periods because it was overwhelming, IN A GOOD WAY, I promise. But it would just consume every bit of my mind, and if I didn't enforce breaks, it would have been over far too soon for my likely. So I had to savor it. 

If this is what I can expect from the rest of the series, I need to grow a tougher skin. This book did a number on me, and I loved every minute of it!

Happy Reading!

REVIEW ~YOUR ENDLESS LOVE BY LAYLA HAGEN~

Title: Your Endless Love
Author: Layla Hagen
Series: Bennett Family #9
Release Date: February 6, 2018

My Rating: 5 Stars
An incurable romantic with a chronic case of bad luck with men... 

Museum curator Summer Bennett knows that happily-ever-afters are not make-believe. After all, her siblings all found their soulmates, so she’s optimistic her prince charming will come along too...eventually. In the meantime, she focuses on her job and her volunteering—which brings her face to face with one of Hollywood’s hottest A-listers. 

When Alexander Westbrook flashes America’s favorite panty-melting smile, Summer's entire body responds. When she asks him to get involved in the community where she volunteers, Summer is shocked that the Hollywood heartthrob agrees right away. Two weeks working side by side with the world’s sexiest guy, and the game is on. 

Far from the public eye, Summer discovers she likes the real Alex even more than his on-screen persona. Secret kisses and whispered conversations spark a fire in her that nothing can extinguish. If only his life wasn’t splashed all over the tabloids… 

Alex can’t keep his eyes--or his hands--off of Summer. But she’s too sweet, and too damn lovely to be swept up in his Hollywood drama. His career is at risk, and an iron-clad clause in his contract with the studio makes a relationship impossible. But staying away from her is out of the question.
Layla Hagen is quickly cornering the market on sweet, sexy contemporaries. Alex and Summer are saccharine sweet and deliciously hot. Both with hearts of as close to gold as any normal human can achieve, and both in need of the other in ways they never anticipated.

The angst, the humor and the characters make this book a lively and thriving journey for anyone looking to devour an amazing weekend read. Summer with her sweetness and strength mixed with Alex's devilish charm, and big heart create a mixture that's high intoxicating and addictive. The Bennett family returns once again for a wonderful story that I would highly recommend!

Happy Reading!
