200199 | From This Day Forward follows the Darcys during their first years as a married couple. Although over all this is was an enjoyable book I found it a little slow to begin with. The first part of the book shows us how these two love birds live together while getting to know each other better. Their first Christmas is a happy time filled with so much love and joy. It always shows us into Mary and Kitty's lives and their gentlemen acquaintances. After all Mrs. Bennet's purpose in life to find suitable men for her daughters. Also during this first year we get to see Georgiana come into her own. First with building a relationship with Elizabeth and then deciding whom her heart truly wants. Luckily for her she has two possible suitors that give her the space she needs to work through her thoughts and heart.
The second year starts off great but as Christmas rolls around again, there is a tragic misfortune that could tear the Darcy a part. A lot of love and compassion from Darcy will help Elizabeth over this hurtle and that is something we all love about Darcy. He loves his family above all else and will do anything and everything for them.
The third year is better with the addition of the Darcy heir! What could be more thrilling and more loving then a addition to the family. Not only that, but Georgiana also gets married and so does Mary and Kitty. It was a lovely turn of events that shows us that although our couple can and will succeed through life's adversities and come out stronger on the flip side.
In the end I truly enjoyed this story with its ups and downs that life puts before us. It was a delightful, indeed! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200200 | "I love you so much that words cannot adequately describe all the feelings in my heart. My heart is so full that it feels like it is about to break." ~ Zane Beaumont
The Last Boyfriend will take you for ride, and you will enjoy every second of it!
Lucky Morgan is a struggling student working at a local diner. For the past three months, Zane has been bringing his dates to her diner and she cannot understand why he has a new girl every week. But there is something about him that drives her crazy. Maybe it is his smile or his blue eyes or his killer body or just because he always leaves her a nice big tip.
One night she is persuaded to attained a party by her best friend, Leeza. When she first arrives she is surprised to see Zane there. They spend a few minutes talking before Leeza steals her away. However, it is when she leaves for home later that night when everything changes for her.
Zane is on a mission and falling for Lucky was the last thing he wanted, but fate has another thing coming.
This story will take you on a roller coaster ride and it will be amazing! I know I could not put it down until I finished it and start on the next book!! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200201 | Just when Darcy and Elizabeth come to an understanding everything falls apart! I was shocked that Longbourn and the Bennet family were lost in one fell swoop. Elizabeth's injuries and Darcy`s heartache broke my heart. Just when you think there's no hope, Darcy returns and saves the day! I think the biggest surprises were the fake Mr. Collins and Anne de Bourgh. In the end I quite enjoyed this variation. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200202 | Ms. Austen said it best, "The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid. She could have easily said this about Ms. Dixon's latest book, Lady Harriette: Fitzwilliam's Heart and Soul. After reading To Have His Cake (and Eat It Too) & What He Would No Do, I was left wondering how life would be for Fitzwilliam and Harriette after their "unusual" courtship; now I know! This book made me admire Fitzwilliam more than previously as he brings his home from the brink of disaster which has been mismanaged, maintaining his loyalty to his family (even with Lord Matlock and Lady Catherine trying to undermine him) and building a life with his new bride.
Although the book's central characters are Fitzwilliam and Harriette, Darcy and Elizabeth are their closest friends and that friendship is essential to the new couple. I'm pleased that they are there for their friends even as they are working through their own problems when someone from Darcy`s past is now working as one of the servants in the Fitzwilliam household.
Another amazingly well written story by Ms. Dixon that's sure to become a classic in its own right! I know Jane would have approved! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200203 | What a charming story of how Anne comes into her own. And I especially love how much Lady Catherine changed. These two really do care for and love each other. I truly enjoyed it! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200204 | Oh my, what a delightfully intriguing story that captured my imagination and I couldn't put it down until I finished!
Elizabeth meets Georgiana while visiting Pemberely and the two become friends. When Darcy comes into Hertfordshire, almost a year later, Elizabeth hopes to finally meet her friend's brother. However the two seem to always miss each other by a heartbeat, but once two meet the sparks fly!!
Their "courtship" is filled with all the misunderstandings our favorite couple are known for. I adored how Georgiana tries to plays matchmaker for two of the most important people in her life! However Darcy and Elizabeth have to overcome their misunderstandings and prejudices to finally admit their love for each other.
This is one story that captured my heart and soul! Thanks to Ms. Dixon for another riveting adaptation of a most beloved book!! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200205 | What an intriguing story of a young girl, who was never looked upon much with the Bennet sisters in the vicinity, looking for love. She, like many others in the neighborhood, were taken in by a charming man who is nothing as he appears. Luckily for her she has two people that love and care for her dearly, her father and her companion. Mary is charmed into nearly being persuaded to risk everything for a man she believed she was in loved with. Her misguided attempt at love nearly lead to her ruin by a man that only wanted her body and her money. In the end, Mary learns the hard truth of the life she would have had to endure if those around her would have let her; a life Lydia Bennet will now have to live with.
I really enjoyed this "what if" of Miss King and learning what transpired between herself and Mr. Wickham. I always enjoy Ms. Dixon's work and she has not let me down with this story. If you want to know a little more about Miss King, I would highly recommend this book to you! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200206 | Darcy Shaughnessy has been trying to find her place in life, but somehow always coming up short. Through it all, she's always keeps her happy disposition and hopeful outlook.
Ben Tanner likes his isolation and doesn't feel the need to change they way things are despite how hard his brothers try.
These two would appear to have nothing in come but after being stranded together during a snow storm things between them change.
They may have a connection that can't be denied, but when their relationship gets tested, will they be able to survive the pressure? Or will the be able to overcome all the bumps in the road and come out the other side stronger?
Holiday Spice is a sweet, captivating, heart stopping romance that will pull at your heartstrings and have you embracing the holiday spirit all year long.
Darcy and Ben helped each other through their issues and embrace their differences. I broke down several times throughout this book with the emotional journey this read takes us on.
Hope, love, and forgiveness is the theme throughout Holiday Spice. Both Darcy and Ben have suffered a tragic loss that shaped their lives, but it's in embracing their relationship that they are able to move past the hurt.
Holiday Spice is read that will captivate your heart and soul and I would highly recommend this is one book you need to read. I would suggest you grab a couple of tissues, a glass of wine, and settle in for a read that will stay with you long after you've finished it. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200207 | Although the start of the book was a little slow, I enjoyed this modern retelling. Elizabeth is a social worker and Darcy an important business man. I wasn't a fan of Elizabeth's constant use of curse words, especially towards Darcy, but I was pleased at her demeanor by the end of book. Good job, Ms Ball. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200208 | Love, Lies & the DA completely and utterly stole my breath away from the first page until the very last incredible word.
Jonathan Kole is everything that makes my heart go pitter patter. He's talk, dark, and handsome with stunning, alluring eyes. He's also got that protective streak that makes me weak in the knees.
Jada McLean isn't some wilting leaf, she's a strong, independent, successful woman. And when her life takes a turn for the worse, she could have broken under the pressure, but she didn't let it. She has a support system that is always there for her, and Jonathan there for her too.
The connection between the two will sizzle off the pages. Watching them fighting the inevitable only make the sexual tension grow into a burning inferno. The way they respect each other, always thinking of the others persons feelings first.
This story is captivating, a stunning work of art. It will take you on an emotional journey, and at times you may want to throw your ereader, but I promise it will be worth it. This is a love story that will stay with you long after you've finished it. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200209 | "... I must forever imagine myself comparing every man I meet to Mr. Darcy and finding the otherwise worthy gentleman wanting."
This statement is my thoughts exactly. Jane Austen gave us Mr. Darcy and Ms. Dixon has made us fall more in love with Mr. Darcy with every story she writes. In "A Lasting Love Affair" she brings us a Darcy we all know but instead of his fight within himself, he does not fight his attraction to Elizabeth.
Elizabeth on the other hand, fights her attraction to Darcy due to a broken heart after the loss of her beloved sister, Jane. She is afraid to trust and love again thinking that having to go through a loss like that a gain would hurt twice as much. Darcy vows to win her heart and trust because she is his everything.
This story also see a long estranged sister of Mr. Bennet who wants to heal the breach by making Elizabeth her sole heir. Lady Vanessa brings Elizabeth to live with her and brings Elizabeth's status higher then before. During her stay with Lady Vanessa is how Elizabeth gets introduced to Darcy and Lord Holland, Darcy's friend and whom he is staying with. While Darcy tries to woe Elizabeth, he has some competion in Lord Holland. Although there are some hiccups along the way, who could be in doubt that Darcy and Elizabeth would end up together.
This was a delight story that captured my heart and soul. I have come to enjoy all Ms. Dixon's stories, this is by far my favorite. I, for one, cannot wait to see what journey she will take us on next! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200210 | "His deep and piercing blue eyes were staring right at me, and his short, dark brown hair was begging my hands to run through it."

200211 | "The tragedy of losing my day - my hero, idol, and best friend - has forever altered me."

This internship means Bentley will be working with that person one on one and after all the interviews, only one person stands out... Ceci.

This first volume was a quick and suspenseful read. Ceci is older then her years, smart and sexy. Bentley is smarter then he's given credit for and hotter then hot. These two will keep you on the edge of your seat and clamoring for volume two!! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |

200213 | "Lie about one thing, lie about it all..."
This is Andrew's motto. But things aren't always what they seem. His one night, no repeat rule has been thrown out the window because Aubrey is something he cannot get enough of.
Although they have been "spending" a lot of time together, Andrew still does not want to let her into his heart and to know his secrets. Aubrey on the other hand wants to be with Andrew and everything that comes with him. If only he would open up.
This continuation brings more light on to way Andrew is the way he is and we also get to know more about Aubrey. Their "relationship" is as steamy as ever but it is a roller coaster ride, so on tight. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200214 | Rhett Madison has it all... the money, the car, the looks, and an incredible best friend. So most people did not understand his friendship with Clementine, but Rhett did not care because she meant the world time. She was the one person he could always count on to be there for him, someone that he could turn to. When Rhett was little his mother left and he never really got over it. Since that time he vowed to never fall in love, never get married, never do relationships and since he had Clementine, he never looked at her in that light. But now things are changing, he is noticing Clementine as more then a friend, more then like a sister; she is beautiful and someone that he is becoming more and more attracted to. And when she starts dating, he has a lot to figure out before he loses the one person that stole his heart a long time ago.
Rhett is an amazing story of two friends that love each other and share a bond that cannot be broken easily. He is loyal and caring and charming and just a bit cocky, but that is what makes him so endearing. I love how he has to reevaluate his life when he thinks he has lost Clementine and then how he plans to win her back. I enjoyed this book so much that I had to stay up all night until I finished it; and it was well worth it. I am a huge JS Cooper fan and she does not let me down with this standalone book. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200215 | When I first heard of the concept for this book, I was a little weary. Not because I don't love Shannon, because I do, but how do you bring together a beloved story like Persuasion and Jane Austen. But as the writing slowly progressed, Shannon would share tidbits here and there (although not as many as I would have liked) and I just knew I would have to read it. SO, I when got this book and started reading it, I immediately fell in love.
First we learn of Jane's death, which by all accounts that we know of, is very sad indeed. Then we are taken back in time to when Jane starts writing her latest novel, Persuasion. Here we learn a bit of the "one that got away" and how he is, bits and pieces of his character and traits, featured in some of her heroes. And while writing it, we get to see how they meet, fall in love and then driven apart. And of course, all this is how Persuasion came to be.
But what if, just as in Persuasion, her Captain returns and this time doesn't let anything come between them. What if he seeks her out and hopes that she will throw caution to wind and run away with him. And what if, instead of dying on that fateful July day, she finally gets her happy ending. The one that we, as fans, always wished for her.
Oh how I enjoyed this book and it was well worth the wait. And I could tell you all the ends and outs of this love story, but what would be the fun in that. You must read it and fall in love with Jane all over again.
Thank you Shannon for bringing Persuasion and Jane Austen together!! This is by far my favorite book of yours thus far. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200216 | "He was commanding. He was Determined. He was a man who know what he wanted - and he wanted her."

However, underneath their friendship lays something more. Each has been dreaming of the other but since they love their friendship, neither want to lose that and the sexual tension is high. So one night, during a party at the bar Jamie works at, Smith decides that its now or never and makes his move. Jamie is a little unsure but Smith is incredibly sexy that she gives into her desires. And what an experience it is, one that Smith wants to continue but Jamie is a little reluctant. Luckily for us, and Smith, Jamie thinks that maybe a one week, no-strings attached, friends with benefits would be the answer. Smith agrees but he vows to himself to make things last after the week but Jamie fights her depending feelings as the week progresses. Smith will have to up his game if he intends to keep the woman of his dreams.
This was a very steamy novella that was enticing and stimulating. The characters know what they want and aren't afraid to ask for it. I love how when trouble strikes, each know what they can do for the other because they have been friends for the longest time. This book had it all... passion, fire, love, steamy sexual tension, and even a cat in a tree! Lauren Blakely is an amazing author and I cannot wait to see what she will deliver us next. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200217 | "Passion makes for the best kind of love."

She tells her family that she is going to go look at colleges but instead she travels alone with hope in her heart. She encounters a very handsome yet very mysterious gentleman on the train ride. She doesn't know why her body reacts the way it does when he stares at her and when she gets close to him.

Once there, she is assigned a "teacher" but he has not yet arrived. When she is shown into her room, to her surprise her "teacher" has been replaced by the mysterious man from the train, Jaxon. Oh my, now that these two have to spend time together the sparks fly.
However, just when Nancy believes she can have something with Jaxon, she overhears a conversion between him and his father. Now she doesn't know what to do.
I have really enjoyed Ms. Cooper's books in the past, but this serial is really intense and captivating. Cannot wait to see what will happen next. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200218 | "I had a feeling that sex was going to be the undoing of Nancy, but what scared me most was that she was going to be the undoing of me."

Once she finally catches up with Jaxon, he confess part of the truth. They are using her for revenge against her father! But for whatever reason, Nancy feels that she can trust Jaxon and she really want to try and get to know him better.

200219 | OMG!!! What a start to a series!!
I knew going into this book that I was going to be hot but I wasn't expecting it to this hot. A shy girl, Evie Johnson, reluctantly agrees to work for her friend at a strip club with the agreement that she doesn't have to be naked or do anything she doesn't want to do. While there she meets a strange, yet extremely handsome man, who offers her more money then she could desire for a night of whatever. Whatever being anything she wants, he won't push her to do anything she won't agree to. Now what could possibly go wrong with that?
The twists and turns as the night progress is provocative and intriguing. Tyler, the chaueffer, tries to warn her that she needs to leave; no smart girl would be in her position. However, Evie doesn't want to leave because Grant makes her hot and bothered and he is just so amazing in bed. By the next morning, things changed and now that she wants to leave, she can't. Evie has gotten into something she can't get out of, only now, she's in a game with two wolves!
I can't wait to see how this story will unfold in book 2!! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200220 | "If I could have but one wish, I wish this night never ends"
Same could be same for this short story of the days leading up Darcy and Elizabeth's wedding; I wish it would never end.
Darcy's sensual side comes to light when he and Elizabeth get a few moments of alone time. Their banter is quick and lively; they are indeed perfectly matched. And what happens behind locked closed doors stays behind closed doors!
It's another well written short story by Ms. Dixon best read with a "steaming-hot, rich, luxurious chocolate." A quick read that will most likely leave a decadent smile on your face!! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200221 | Oh Leo! I have always had a thing since I first met him in the Last Boyfriend. So, when I heard this book was going to focus on him, I was thrilled.
We already know how Leo feels about falling in love, getting married and having a family... not going to happen. Between Zane and Noah, Leo has no desire to be "whipped". Thanks but no thanks is his motto; famous last words!
Leo's father has had enough of Leo being a bodyguard/bouncer and has made him come and enter Corporate America as an executive manager in his company. Although Leo would much rather sit back and relax or surf, he knows it is time to man up and start to learn the company that he will one day be CEO of.
Bright and early Monday morning, Leo is taking his first steps toward his future when a sassy and very beautiful lady shares the elevator with him. She, Hannah, asks if he is new and he says yes; this is all fine and good, except she doesn't stop there. She precedes to tell Leo that she cannot stand her new boss which just happens to be the CEO's son! She feels that he is an entitled spoiled rich kid ridding daddy's coat tails. Leo, of course, finds all this amusing. Imagine her surprise when he gets off on the same floor as her and he tells her his name is Leo. After a couple of seconds, she puts two and two together and she is mortified. That was defiantly quite the first impression.
The banter between these two is thrilling. Leo and Hannah find each other sexy but due to the working situation, neither is willing to make the first real more. Leo just can't help himself; he is always making suggestive comments just to get a rise out of her. However, while on a business trip to New York, Hannah makes a move that will change their relationship.
From the start, Hannah knows how Leo feels about relationships but she cannot help falling for him after spending so much time with him in New York. Leo, on the other hand, is having to come to grips with his feelings. The way he feels about her, well he has never felt that way about anyone. And just as these two begin to realize what they have could be deeper then expect, there is a bump in the road and that bump just happens to be Leo's father.
These two are both strong-willed and independent, so when things threatens to end a good thing before it even gets started, they have to decide if what they feel is worth fighting for. Luckily for them, and us, Lucky steps in to help clear the air. With everything is out in the open, can Leo finally open his heart to love or will he always be guarding his heart?
I love, love, love this book. The flirty banter, emails and texts are priceless. We not only get to know what Leo is thinking but also get to know what Hannah is thinking. Their dynamic is wonderfully written that you cannot help but fall in love with these two. Leo may have been the handsome surfer dude, but there is so much more to him than meets the eye. I love his complexity. Hannah is smart and witty and doesn't take anyone's crap. She fits perfectly with all the other cast of characters... Zane, Lucky, the twins, Noah, Robin and Skyler. Thanks JS Cooper for another will written story that fits into the Forever Love Series perfectly. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200222 | Oh my goodness, Luca is unbelievably divine! I wanted to hate him after everything went down and how Everly was crushed, but the more I got into the story, the more I fell for Luca.
This was my second book by Alice; after Jackson Stone, I didn't think I could fall for anyone else. However, Alice gives a story of love that lasted through the years.
Things may not always go according to plan, but you can't let that get you down. I love that Morgan and Luca never gave up on Everly. They really care for her and that is wonderful.
Luca and Everly are amazing characters and their love is heartwarming. The way Luca brings down Everly's walls is priceless. I was laughing with them, crying with them, loving with them.
This story has it all and I am forever changed by it. Thank you Alice for bringing Luca to us! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200223 | Oh my goodness!!! It's no secret that my favorite hero from Ms. Cooper is Zane, but Xander has now dethroned him!! Holy Hotness Batman!!
When I first heard of the premise of this book, I thought it sounds interesting and since Jamie was writing it then I was going to read. I was so wrong because this one is freaking amazing!!
So Alice and Liv are attending the wedding of Alice's ex when Liv sees a very handsome man staring at her. He thinks he is sexy but he has a bit of cockiness about him. However, he overhears a conversation between Alice and Liv and decides that he has to have Liv.
They share a few minutes together at the church (very exciting) and a very hot night together at his hotel room. Liv leaves in the morning before he wakes, it was after all, a one night stand.
The following weekend, Liv goes home and when she gets there, her world is turned upside down. Her one night stand is sitting in her parent's living room! And the reason he's there is not what she would have wanted but things are never what they seem and the roller coaster journey is just getting started.
I loved this book! The chemistry between Liv and Xander leaps off the pages. Several times, Xander leaves Liv so flustered, that I was flustered too. Their banter is captivating and thrilling to read. I really love these two and when I finished the book, I had a huge smile and a warm feeling all over! | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200224 | Jaxon Bentley is a lawyer that's been dealt a blow that cut him deep. But when Scarlett Reyes asks for his help there's something about her that he can't say no.
Finding the real killer and getting Scarlett cleared of the charges, Jaxon will stop at nothing to get what he wants even if he has to beg, steal, or borrow.
The more time they spend in each other's company, the more their attraction grows.
Will Scarlett be the reason Jaxon decides that maybe mixing business with pleasure is for him? Or will the secrets from Scarlett's dead husband come back to haunt her and tear this couple apart? And will Jaxon be able to save her before it's too late.
Seducing the Defendant is a thrilling page-turner that will keeping you on the edge of your seat guessing what will happen next.
I love how deep Jaxon and Scarlett fall for each other despite their past. Each have had heartbreaks but choose to embrace what they have together then let it push them apart.
I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this read since I hadn't read the first book, but Seducing the Defendant has a captivating storyline, witty dialogue, and intriguing characters that keeps the reader engaged.

I loved Vista's passion for her mother, her job, and her heart. She sticks to her values even though it could cost her everything. And they way she stands up to not only Levi, but his dad too, is brilliant.
Levi may have had everything handed to him on a silver platter, but there is heart under all that playboy bravado. That's a side that he rarely shows, but his need to show Vista is powerful. I loved that about him. He does so much but does it because it makes him feel good, not for the recognition. There is more to this man than meets the eyes.

200248 | A BDSM relationship via the internet? This interesting concept is what drew me to this story. How are you going to take a relationship that requires trust and communication and build a strong cyber based D/s relationship? Building on in person is hard enough, but to do it without really knowing your Dom sounds like it could one of two ways. On one hand, it could be really easy to open up to someone since your paths won't cross on a daily basis. On the other hand, stranger danger as my mother always said.
So when Sophie Davenport's marriage finally ends, she knows that she needs to start living her way instead of conforming to everyone eles' ways. After one night out with a friend, she experiences something that opens her mind to the kinkier kind of sex. She comes across a post about cyber training. The Dom sounds like he knows what he's doing, and the fact that he is willing to train via the internet could be intriguing. Instead of shying away from it, she takes a leap into uncharted territory.
As their training progresses, Sophie starts to realize that something is missing... personal contact. Sure she knows next to nothing of her Dom and has yet to see his face, but there is something that draws her to him and the burning desire to take this training into the real world. Of course, MC is reluctant to agree to meet at first, it's not something that he does. But in the end he agrees because he too can't deny the pull he had towards her.
Now face to face, how will their relationship change? Can they go back to cyber training like nothing happen? Or will this force them to reevaluate their relationship and transition into something special?
This book can really turn up the heat. The training sessions are especially fascinating. The way MC takes ordinary objects and turns them into sex toys is brilliant. Although Sophie seemed to enjoy it, some of the tasks were a bit to painful for me. The forks? Thanks but no thanks.
Overall, this was a pleasurable read. The story moves along at a great pace. Watching Sophie evolve from a shy thing into a strong, independent woman really makes my heart sign. The chemistry that Sophie and MC have heats up the internet, and not to mention, me. Cold showers were needed after those play sessions! And when he approaches her at the bar, he not only had Sophie all a flutter but me as well. Seriously, that man's mouth is too delicious for words. Yum!
And with the ending as it is, I am curious to see what happens next between the two. The possibilities seem equal parts delightful and trepidatious.
***I received this book as an ARC for an honest review.*** | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |

Regan is a tough as nails woman that won't be controlled by anyone. Her job is demanding, but she enjoys it. Her current assignment is making her come to terms with desires she never expected to have. Plus she actually likes the people she is "working" with.
Silas is anything but average. He's a tall, dark, handsome, tattooed artist. When Regan meets him, she knows she's in trouble. There is no way she can keep her hands to herself. And if I were her, I would take every chance I got to feel every inch of him.
The more time she spends with him, the more she falls for him. But there is something that she's keeping from him and once her secret is out, it could have him leaving her behind.
This book is brilliant. Nikki always has strong, independent woman in her stories, but Regan tops the cake. I love her attitude and spunk. Her and Silas are perfect together, always giving as good as they get. The spark that flows between them can melt panties and e-readers alike. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |

I really loved, loved, loved this book. It's sweet, loving, tender, and full of heart. Simon is the sexy single dad that is a walking wet dream, the kind of man you can see yourself with. And the love he has for his daughter is exceptional. He buts her and Abby first, what's not love about that.
Abby is an amazing person, inside and out. Of course she thinks Simon is sexy, but it's his heart that she falls in love with. And she simply adores his daughter, there is nothing that she wouldn't do for her. I love how no matter what, she stays true to herself, her morals.
With so many suspense and angst books these days, it's nice to have something sweet and endearing. Something that will have you smiling, laughing, and giddy with each passing page. I couldn't put it down and hated to let them go.
After all the Lauren Blakely books I've read, I think The Sexy One is my ultimate favorite... thus far. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |

Chase Summers, also known as Doctor McHottie, has been friends with Josie Hammer for what seems like forever. So when he was in needs of a new place to rent and Josie is need of a roommate, what's the worst can happen when they start to live together?
I fell in love with Josie's frankness in telling Chase exactly what she wanted and how she wanted. You wouldn't have expected that from some as sweet looking as her. Her mastery in the kitchen and quick wit makes her a force to be reckoned with.
Chase is undeniably sexy, but there is more to him than his good looks. He's smart, comical, a lover not a fighter, and always willing to help his fellow man. His loyalty to his family and friends is admirable. It's easy to fall for his heart and his 'package' doesn't disappoint.

200272 | When it comes to romantic comedy, Staci Hart always knocks it out of the park. Tonic is funny, passionate, and full of heart. Joel and Annika are the perfect match even if they don't look like it. It's just like they say, opposites attract.
I loved how Joel is smitten from the start, wanting to get to know everything about this beauty. And when he finally gets his hands on her, the heat skyrockets. He's a giver and a taker and everything in-between.
Annika is a strong, independent woman with a feisty attitude. Although she's bold and a hard worker, she's hiding something from her past. Joel isn't what she ever thought she'd be attracted to, but as time goes on, she finds that he's everything she could be looking for.

He's a good looking man, but lately he's been having some issues with the ladies, which is how he ends up rooming with his sister's best friend and his ultimate crush, Paige.

So when Allie's asked for a favor, she agreed because of course she's going to help. The last thing she expected was the tall drink of water that knocked on her door.
Right from the start the sexual tension is off the charts, so of course that line they swore they would never crossed, gets crossed. But what started as a simple one-night stand quickly turns into something neither saw coming.
I seriously could not put this down once I had picked it up. I was captivated by the story, the highly entertaining banter, the electric passion, and the incredible heart and soul of the charterers. Cannon is immensely swoon worthy and panties will melt from just his smile. Paige is the loyal friend you want by your side through good times and bad.

Celia Lawrence thought her life would never amount to much. Her husband was less than loving and has a wondering eye. But unexpected events lead her to ditch Texas and relocate to Colorado as a mail-order bride. But there is a secret that she is keeping that could destroy her new home.
Luke Benson is mayor of Slate Springs and just passed a very unorthodox law that allows two or more men to marry one woman. So when he and his brother, Walker, agree to set the standard with this new law, they never expected to fall so completely in love with their bride.
A Wanton Woman is full of passion, heart, and second chances. I loved Luke's and Walker's instant devotion to Celia and their desire to see to her every wants and needs. Walker's first marriage scared him, but I love how he overcomes it and promises to love, honor, and worship Celia.
I enjoyed watching Celia open up and become the woman she always wanted to be. To believe in herself and know that her intimate desires are normal and valid. At first shocked to learn that she would be married to two men, but after spending time with both of them, she wanted them both.
This book is an ardent love story that encompasses three individuals that didn't know what they were missing, but once they have each other, they know they will never give up on each other. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
200275 | When Lauren tells you to be prepared for something hot and sexy, she isn't kidding. Tyler Nichols is everything she promises him to be and then some. I would even venture to say he's sexier than his cousin, the delicious Clay Nichols. One thing is for sure, once you pick this hot baby up you won't want to put it down. Tyler and Delaney will have you laughing out loud, crying, swooning, and burning up. But have no fear, Tyler knows how to take care of you and will leave you satisfied and with a smile.
I was super excited when I heard Tyler was getting his own book, so when this hot little number showed up on my kindle I was jumping for joy. Lauren's writing is always captivating and this second chance romance sounds like it would be enticing.
When Tyler walked away from Delaney all those years ago, he never expected to get a second chance to be with her. Their relationship was everything he thought he wanted, until doubt was introduce by one of his professors. He's worked hard, made a name for himself, and life seems great. He never thought anything was lacking until he lays on eyes on the one that got away.
Delaney may look like person who has no care in the world. She's smart, talented, independent, owns her own business, and an amazing group of friends. However she's got an issue she's been dealing with for several years, and she's not one to share her thoughts and feelings about it even with her closest of friends. But a blast from the past wants her back. She remembers the good times they shared, but it's the bad break up that has worried about starting over with him.
Will Tyler's grand gesture be able to win Delaney's heart once again? Can Delaney open up to Tyler and let him be there for her? Will they be as hot as they once were or will they be hotter?
The Hot One really is everything I expected and oh so much more. I love Tyler's heart and his determination to win Delaney back. The way he knows what she needs and is there for her will make readers swoon. Needless to say, Tyler has a way with words that will have your panties melting and I don't just mean the ones you are wearing but also those in your dresser. Yes, he's that hot!
I adore how Delaney made Tyler work for it, she didn't just give in and jump right into bed with him. That's some great control on her part, but knowing Tyler wants more than just sex is important to her. Her heart was broken once and protecting herself is admirable.
Just when I think Lauren's heroes can't get sexier, she goes and knocks it out of the park... again. I loved this second chance romance more than words can express. And I highly recommend The Hot One to any and everyone. It's the perfect read to heat you up, leave you sated, and with a smile from ear to ear.
Treat yourself to Tyler and find out why he's called The Hot One. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |

Although the scar came from saving her beloved brother from a fire, no one seem to look beyond that blemish. Despite this, her heart desires two men that she believes doesn't even know she exist.
Tucker and Gabe have had their eyes set on one woman for years and now that she's back in town, he decide to make their move. However, news gets around that their woman may have a beau that will stand in their way. But after a conversation with Abigail they know this man will not be a problem, so they make a plan to claim her.
But Abigail has a secret that could cost more than just money. She will do whatever it takes to protect her men even if it cost her own life.
I greatly enjoyed this story even though I hadn't read any of the previous books. Their Brazen Bride can be read as a standalone since each book features a different couple. The sparks that flows between the three fly off the pages and their passion is undeniable. Hot mama, those three really know how to heat things up. I particularly loved how Gabe and Tucker went after what they wanted and didn't let anything or anyone stand in their way. Additionally, their protective over Abigail is astounding. But I think what I love best would the way they strove to show Abigail that she's more than her scar touch my heart and soul.
I would recommend this book and the series to any romance lover looking for a quick and sultry read. | dde74a200810ae0a2d288b7391479ded |
