There is passion, drama and some angst. I adored Berklee and Crew.

Berklee just finishing college spent her time working at a coffee shop and on one rainy morning a gorgeous man comes in to the shop to order some coffee. It was attraction at first sight.

Crew was working on opening up a club just down the road from the coffee shop where Berklee worked and just like Berklee it was attraction at first sight as well. Little did he know that his best friend and business partner was best friends with this beautiful girl and would hire her to work at the club.

They tried to keep things professional, but we all know how well that works out. They give in to the attraction and sparks fly between Crew and Berklee.

This is another amazing story by Kaylee Ryan and one that I highly recommend to everyone.

I love a best friends sibling romance and this one does not disappoint.

Nate and Ava grew up together and secretly loved each other, the problem Nate is best friends with Ava's brother.

After years apart, they finally cave in admit their true feelings to each other and take a gamble on a relationship together. I liked how they didn't just jump into things, they took it slow, explored their feelings and built a foundation that way.

Nate is definitely an alpha male and Ave is a sweet girl. I love the two of them together and their connection to one another.

It's a sweet story of finally giving into your true emotions and building a relationship based on friendship, trust and eventually love.

Weston King is the king of players. He works hard and he players harder but all of that is about to end when his business partner and friend comes up with probably the craziest idea he has ever heard. Marry the privileged princess of Dyson Media, Elizabeth Dyson.

Elizabeth may not have a job or know anything about running business but she is smart. A fake marriage isn't what she had in mind for how her life should go, but it truly was the answer to her current problem. There was an instant attraction between Weston and Elizabeth from the very first time they met, they just needed to keep reminding themselves that this was a fake relationship, a business arrangement that would benefit both of them. Some things may be easier said than done.

I absolutely love the fire and the passion between Weston and Elizabeth. They fought the attraction, the pushed each other away, the bickered about everything. Nothing like a little fighting to ramp up the sexual tension. You can only fight the inevitable for so long. Their relationship may have started out as fake, but it doesn't feel so fake anymore.

This is book 1 of the Dirty Games Duet and let's just say it is going to be a long wait for book 2 to be released (thankfully the audio will be released soon!). I can't wait to see what lies ahead for Weston and Elizabeth, especially after that drama and cliffhanger!

If you love enemy to friends romance stories with a twist of marriage of convenience then this is definitely as series that you should check out. Laurelin knows how to take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride.

If you haven't read book 1: The Controversial Princess just stop here and go read that first.

His True Queen picks up right where we left off and Adeline is dealing with the loss of her father, her brother, the secrets that have come out, becoming Queen and most of all her relationship with her American boy, Josh.

Wear the crown. Be a queen. That is all you have to do.

Adeline has a lot on her plate as the new Queen of England and the new responsibilities that come with it, however, the one thing she wants is her relationship with Josh. That comes at a price. These two took me on an emotional roller coaster throughout this book and I LOVED every single minute of it.

Josh Jameson is still strong alpha male we have all come to love and he was killing me with how much love he has for his queen, Adeline.

To the world you are the Queen of England. Bu to me, you are everything.

Queen Adeline is a total badass. I wish I could say more about that but one you read the last 30% of the book you will completely understand.

One doesn't clear smoke and mirrors, darling. One preserves them.

There is so much angst, drama and passion which is everything you want in a book. The British Monarchy is completely hidden behind all those smoke and mirrors and when they all come to light, it was like a bomb went off.

I have so much love for this story, the was a beautifully written, roller coaster ride of emotions, but so fitting for the American boy and his Queen.

Life is about power—who has it, who doesn’t.

Matt Hamilton spent years fighting his urges and pushing his need power and control to the side until he met Kennedy Keller.

Matt and Kennedy are both at a business conference and after meeting in a bar end up having a one-night stand. They don’t exchange any information other than their first names, because they never expected to see each other again. Things don’t always go as they are planned.

Both Matt and Kennedy are members of The Boardroom. Kennedy sets up a solo scene in The Boardroom, in order to escape the man haunting her dreams. Matt, ends up being on the male participants that is watching her, and to everyone’s surprise is invited to participant in her scene.

I am a huge fan of The Boardroom series. Matt and Kennedy’s story may be my favorite. The instant chemistry between the two was amazing and following them through the journey together and individually was beautiful.

The secondary characters in this story were also great. Kennedy’s father and Matt’s children and mother also added to the story and the personal growth of the main characters. Of course, we did get more of Trevor and there is Kennedy’s best friend Dani.

I am looking forward to the next story in this series and hopefully, learning more about the founder of The Boardroom, Trevor.

After reading the blurb for this book I had high hopes that it would be amazing. I am a massive fan of best friend's little sister type stories and this one was just kind of meh.

Laurel is a divorced mother of two and Zack is her brother, Travis, best friend. Zack has had feelings for Laurel for years and gave up a relationship to have a chance with her.

At times the story felt very predictable and seemed to just kind of progress at a rapid speed. There were a few moments where I though I missed whole sections of the book and had to go back and double check only to find out I didn't.

Laurel kind of drove me crazy, I get that she has issues because of her relationship with her ex husband, but Zack was insanely sweet and so patient with her. I felt like screaming at her to just believe him.

I loved the Laurel's brothers, Harlan and Travis, and Zack's friend and business partner Levi. They were fun secondary characters and I definitely look forward to seeing more of them. With all the mention of Laurel's ex husband and his job I do wish that there was more of a tie in to that into some of the story line for a little extra drama.

Overall, it wasn't a terrible story and I still did enjoy it. I'm curious about what happens going forward since it is part of a series, so I will check out those as they are released because the ending to Zack and Laurel was just kind of abrupt.

Throughout all three cities the relationship of Parker and Skyler. Their relationship has been a fun roller coaster and one that I would love to continue on throughout the series. #SkyParkForever

I hope that Bo and Royce also find someone to be their one in 7 billion. They deserve happy endings. Wendy, I love that girl, she needs her own story!!

Overall, I did enjoy the book and I look forward to reading more of them as they are released.

Kaylee Ryan hit it out of the park with Beyond the Bases!

Easton Monroe is a professional baseball who wants more than a random hook up with some baseball groupie. He wants someone who he can come home to after practice, after a home game and after spending time on the road. Larissa is a young hard working woman. She in school and close to finishing her accounting degree and works in a restaurant which leads to little free time for other activities. Her best friend, Chloe, convinces her to go out one night and that one night is the start of something new. Larissa and Chloe walk into the bar and they are spotted by Ethan, who instantly knows he found exactly what he was looking for. What he didn't know is that it would not be an easy task to get the attention of Larissa.

I absolutely loved Easton from the very first moment. He isn't a player, he is sweet, he loves with every ounce of his soul. Compared to other baseball sports romances he isn't that stereotypical alpha male. You can't not fall in love with him throughout the story. Larissa is just amazing, she is strong and she is determined to be the best person and role model she can be. She doesn't have it easy between work, school and taking care of her 4 (almost 5) year old daughter, Paisley, her hands are a little full.

The chemistry between Easton and Larissa was fantastic, but the connection between Easton and Paisley just melts your heart. Paisley absolutely stole the show. She is such a lively and smart little girl and her scenes were honestly the best things to read. From the moment her and Easton met he was head over heels for his little Princess P.

Beyond the Bases is one of the best books I have read in 2018. There is NO drama, every single character in this book is well written. The story is sweet and will melt your heart. It is the perfect summer read for anyone! Plus, we got 4 (yes 4) amazing epilogues! I hope that we get more of Easton, Larissa, Paisley and the rest of the Monroe family in future!

Winter Blackstone is a 24 year old masters student who spends her time going to school and volunteering at a youth center. She comes from the prominent Boston family, the Blackstone's. After the loss of her father she moves into the apartment building that is owned by her older brother, Caleb. That same apartment building is also home to her childhood and current crush, James Blakney.

Now that Winter lives in his building, James has a harder time hiding his feelings towards Winter. James is a lawyer and a friend of Winter's brother, Caleb. His father is a manipulative man and wants James to settle down with a woman from a wealthy family. The first and only woman that pops into his mind is Winter.

The flirting and the tension between Winter and James was through the roof! Once the lines are blurred and the boundaries are crossed there was no holding back for these two. James is sexy, he is a dominant male and he is sweet and attentive, especially towards Winter.

I have been looking forward to reading Winter and James's story since finishing Filthy Rich. It definitely lived up to my expectations, I couldn't put it down. I hope that the next book explores Lucas (Winter's brother) and Victoria (James's sister) because there is definitely a story there.
