First off, I absolutely love Penny Wylder. This is the first book in a duet to be prepared for a cliffhanger ending!

I am a fan of the second chance romance kind of stories. Though, this first book was on the shorter side it is definitely one to read.

Peter and Amber met in high school, but one event changed their relationship forever. Fast forward, ten years and they end up working together. Peter hasn’t forgotten about Amber and his love for her hasn’t changed, but she is closed off to him. He makes it his mission to make her fall in love with him again. But given the nature of their working relationship and their places in the entertainment industry this isn’t going to be easy.

Their story is sweet and heartbreaking. I can’t wait to see what happens next for these two and how their second chance at love ends.

For Us is book two in The Girl I loved duet, so if you haven’t read the first one this book will be rather confusing to you as it picks up right where the first book left off.

I loved every single moment of this story. Peter and Amber’s story is heartbreaking, but it will also put your heart back together. You are left wondering if Peter and Amber will ever find their happily ever after or if they are doomed from the start because of their past.

Peter is super swoon worthy, seriously, could he be anymore perfect?! The love he feels for Amber is what everyone dreams of. Amber hasn’t always had things easy and she still doesn’t, especially with the industry and position she is in.

I love Penny Wylder’s stories and this duet did not disappoint and may be one of my favorites. I am so happy that these two characters were able to put the pieces back together.

Who know a trip to the mountains and a one night stand could change your life forever?

Jenna is a city girl who needs a break from all the hustle and bustle when she takes a photography job up in the mountains for a town festival.

Gil is a local mountain man. He hunts and grows his own food, builds his own furniture and just survives on what is naturally provided to him.

Jenna is photographing the festival when she notices some strange activity in the woods. Gil is also in the woods and the beautiful Jenna catches his eyes and he knows he needs to talk to this girl. They do talk and they do hook up, expecting to never see each other again after the weekend, but fate is funny and had other plans in mind for these two.

There was a murder during the festival and Jenna has to return back to the mountain town to help with the investigation, only this time she is also carrying a little something extra. She is pregnant and the father his Gil.

I enjoyed this story. I liked that we had a little drama with how the town people treated Gil and you know, a whole murder investigation. Gil's reaction and how he felt towards Jenna was sweet, especially after he found out that she was pregnant.

There were times that I felt the story kind of dragged on but I still enjoyed the story and watching the relationship between Gil and Jenna grow.

Fern Ronay is a new to me author and the blurb of this story really grabbed my attention. I was intrigued by it and wanted to know more. This story was different from what I normally read, but it was such a fun and great change. I loved every single moment of this book.

Jada had the perfect life on social media, however, we all know that many people don’t put the bad and the ugly or the struggles all over their social media pages. Jada’s life was anything from perfect. She was struggling, she felt alone. She runs into an ex and she really starts to think about her life decisions. Her road through life changes is not an easy one and full of struggles.

I loved how real Jada was. As a character she was extremely relatable. Everyone is struggling with something in their lives whether it be family, friends, relationships, or a career. In some way you can connect with Jada and how she is feeling. I loved the added aspect of Gina throughout this story. The insight she provided not only got Jada to think, but it got you to think as a reader.

This was such a fun book to read. I loved every single moment of this story.

Kali Brixton is a new author and To Have is a fantastic debut novel. I really had no idea what to expect going into this book, but it was such a beautiful, emotional surprise. I fell in love with this story, with these characters. My heart broke for them, I wanted everyone to get the happy ending and the second chance they truly deserved.

Deacon has had a rough life, he has experienced pain, suffering, love and loss all from a very young age. My heart broke for him, but despite everything he has grown stronger and became a better man. Charlotte is sweet, caring, loving and will do anything for those she loves and even strangers who just need a friend and some love. Their chemistry and their connection is truly beautiful. There is so much history between these two. I loved every single moment, including all their banter.

Elsie, I LOVED HER. She was there for everyone. She was full of so much wisdom and insight. I wish that she was my grandmother. She was completely on #TeamDarlotte and rooting for them from the very beginning and I was right there with her.

Grey and Mason were AMAZING secondary characters and Charlotte’s older brothers. I am dying to know more about them, especially Mason. There is such a mystery around him that leaves you wanting more. Grey is a little bit less of a mystery, but there is still something about him.

Kali wrote an emotional, beautiful, second chance romance that tear your heart into shreds, but mend those broken pieces back together. This is a fantastic debut novel and I can’t wait for more!

I feel like I’ve been waiting a lifetime for this book and Piper Rayne did not disappoint with Savannah and Liam’s story.

Savannah has a lot of weight on her shoulder’s after taking over Bailey Timber after the death of her parents. She works hard and does what she can to make sure not only her siblings but her employees have the best. Liam is a business owner and long time friend of the Bailey’s. If you’ve read the previous books you know these two have some sort of a relationship, of a connection. They have tension and banter for DAYS!

I loved Liam. There is so much more to him than the goofy friend of Sav’s younger brothers or the tattoo shop owner. He has a heart of gold and a secret talent. The way he helped Savannah learn to be her old self was sweet and so fun to read. I was happy to see a different side to Savannah and see her loosen up a little and do more for her.

The chemistry between Liam and Savannah was steamy, their banter was hilarious. I loved everything about their relationship and friendship. I loved the little tidbits sprinkled in about their past when they were younger, too.

Of course, there was plenty of laughs throughout. You can’t expect anything else when it comes to the Bailey’s and the beloved Grandma Dori. This can be read as a complete standalone, though I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading the entire series starting with Book 1. Falling For My Brother’s Best Friend is a MUST READ!

WHAT ON EARTH DID I JUST READ!? I can’t even begin to form words to write this review. Vicious Hate was twisted in so many different ways. It will completely ripe out your heart and never give it back. It is so hard to write this review without giving out any of the details. This is truly one series that you just have to read.

If you haven’t read Reckless Hate, go do that NOW! Then you can come back to this one. But Seriously, I think I am in shock over this book. Ace and Astraea are king and queen. I am rooting for them like there is no tomorrow, however, everything else in life does not want these two together, but there is SO MUCH chemistry between them.

Vicious Hate was dropping truth bombs like they were candy at a 4th of July parade. I thought I was going to get whiplash from everything that was being revealed. This book was INSANE and twisted and completely addicting.

I am so ready for book 3 and more of Ace, Astraea and the rest of the Blue Boys.

CAPLIN MOTHERFLUFFING HAWKINS. I have no words to describe my excitement over Cap and his story. This was everything I could have hoped for and SO MUCH MORE! When the disclaimer says do not read this in public, it’s legit. The Billionaire Book Club will have you laughing to the point of tears from start to finish.

I could make this entire review about how much I love Cap, because I really do. Plus, I think that is something that Cap himself would just enjoy too much. He’s hilarious, hardworking and there is definitely a lot more to the man than what meets the eye. Ruby, oh how I love that woman. I don’t think I’ve loved a heroine more in a book. Ruby is smart, she is hardworking and she is hilarious, plus the girl sure knows how to answer a phone (mesothelioma anyone?). Cap and Ruby are PERFECT for each other. I loved their chemistry, I loved the bond they formed. Plus, their first meeting? Makes you rethink the idea of listening to audiobooks in public.

Now, this Billionaire Book Club. This is one book club I’d love to be a member of. If you’ve read any of the previous Billionaire books by Max Monroe you know these guys and when they are all together? You better be prepared to laugh. Plus, any book with Thatch is a winner.

The Billionaire Book Club is hands down on my FAVORITE Max Monroe books and one of my favorite books this year.

I LOVED Finn and Jillian’s story so much. These two could not be more perfect for each other. Their banter, their friendship and just everything. In my eyes, the best pleasure pony was saved for last because I completely fell in love with Finn throughout this story.

There was an instant chemistry between Finn and Jillian. Jillian tried so hard to fight the pull when it came to Finn. She had an idea that he was just a rich, spoiled, playboy who just cared about himself. Finn proved that he was more than that, not just in this book but in the previous ones there were also glimpses to his caring, protective, sweet side.

Aunt Nadine is the true winner though. I seriously wish I could spend the day with that lady. She is hilarious, a matchmaker and getting involved in everyone’s business. Her connection with all the guys at Wingman, Inc and accepting and welcoming they all are to her. She is truly Aunt Nadine to everyone.

The Setup is full of laughs, angst, steam and romance. I loved every single moment and couldn’t put this one down. Another winner from RVD and a fantastic addition to the series.

STAY:

Stay was previously released under the title Fetch but is now being released with a new title, a new cover and some added scenes.
I already loved the story when I read Fetch, but all the added scenes made me fall in love with Cole and Addison even more. There is no denying their chemistry with each other. This story is a hot, quick read.
Cole had his heart broken, so after the end of a serious relationship he becomes somewhat of a manwhore. Addison ran away from her old life, she needed a change so why not go hang out with cousin and just enjoy life. Her first meeting with Cole didn’t go over well but their were sparks between the two. I loved the progression of their story and their relationship.
I LOVED Heather in Fetch and I think I love her even more after reading Stay. Her matchmaking ways are hilarious. The added epilogue was perfect. I thought it was the perfect ending to their story and summed up their relationship pretty well.
I can’t wait to get more Addison and Cole in Served and of course to find out what is going on with Heather and Wyatt!

---
SERVED:

I have been waiting for Heather and Wyatt’s story since they were first introduced in Stay, previously titled Fetch. I instantly fell in love with Heather’s personality and Wyatt’s cluelessness.
Served was everything I could have ever wanted in more. If something could go wrong it did, if someone could stop them from finally taking the plunge **cough cough Cole**. It was truly like watching a reality tv show but so much better and way more steamy.
There is no denying that Wyatt and Heather and massive amounts of chemistry and massive amounts of sexual tension. When they FINALLY have the chance to be together it was explosive and I may have wanted to stand up and applaud them. It was a long and crazy road.
Heather and Wyatt are both insecure who are they are, they didn’t feel like they were good enough for the other person. Wyatt constantly would be hot and cold with Heather. I didn’t blame the girl for going absolutely mad half the time when it came to that man. Yes, this story was extremely HOT, but it was sweet and it was loving. Pure PERFECTION! I would give this story a million stars if I could.
This story was perfect. It was everything I could have wanted when it came to Heather and Wyatt and I hope we get to see more of all these characters in the future, especially after that ending.

TRADE IN:

If you’ve read Served you probably remember how that one ended, well Trade In picks up right where it left off. If you haven’t read Served, you can still read Trade In. It is a standalone.
Rachael and Liam were high school sweethearts, until tragedy struck and changed both their lives. Will they get a second chance at love? Will their relationship survive when the truth comes out?
This is my FAVORITE book in the Odd Jobs series. I love second chance romances and this one was perfect. It had its sweet moments, it had its steamy moments and it had its heartbreaking moments. I was rooting for Rachael and Liam from the very beginning. Their chemistry was off the charts and even after years apart was stronger than ever.
Rachael and Liam’s relationship was full of twists and turns, but of course, their friends were right there with them to support them and push them along. I love that there was more Addison and Cole, plus Wyatt and Heather. Though, we were also introduced to Rachael’s best friend from Kansas, who also grew up with Liam, Morgan and learned some interesting things about her (which I hope we get more of her story next).
This series keeps getting better and better and I couldn’t put this book down. I loved EVERY SINGLE MINUTE of Rachael and Liam.

---------------------

TIDY UP:

This may be one of my favorite books of the series! Morgan and Theo were both introduced in Trade In and I have been waiting for their story and this was well worth the wait!
Morgan is working as a maid while she finishes up her degree. She is attracted to her boss, but she doesn’t just want to be his plaything when he needs someone to warm his bed. Theo is afraid he will scare Morgan when she discovers the real him. Will these two be able to let the other in and give into their attraction?
Compared to the others in this series this one is probably the darkest. Theo has some issues with letting people in after what happened in his past when it comes to relationships. He has some dark interests and he doesn’t want to taint Morgan’s innocence with all his darkness but he can’t to stay away from her. Thankfully, Theo’s cousin was there to knock some sense into him when it came to Morgan. He also added comedy to the story and lightened it up some.
Morgan and Theo’s chemistry is INTENSE! I just wish we got more of them. I was not ready for their story to end. I was completely hooked from the very first word to the very last. Overall, this is a MUST READ!
I hope that we got more of them and Taylor gets his own story in the future.
