I have been waiting for this book since first meeting Jake and Kate in book one. The Decadent Gift was everything I wanted and everything I didn’t know I needed.

Jake and Kate are friends, there is a mutual attraction between them. So, what happens when the decide to have that one weekend, no strings attached? LOADS of explosive CHEMISTRY and plenty of HEAT! These two have amazing chemistry and plenty of amazing banter.

Kate is strong, hardworking and knows what she wants. Jake is hard working, knows what he likes and a great friend. These two are perfect for each other. There is an easy flow between them, nothing about their friendship or relationship feels forced. Kate brings down her guard when it comes to Jake, she easily shares all her deepest desires and Jake isn’t one to back down from helping out a friend, especially one like Kate.

If you’re looking for a quick read that is full of chemistry, banter and plenty of HEAT then you’ll want to pick up The Decadent Gift. Another amazing addition to the Lauren Blakely After Dark collection.

If reverse age gaps are your jam then you’ll definitely want to check out The Model! This isn’t my first read from Harlow Layne, however, it is hands down my favorite read! From the very first page I was completely sucked into the whirlwind romance of Lexie and Ryder and it was a wild ride I never wanted to end.

Lexie is a well-known photographer, she owns her own business, she a strong woman, and gorgeous with her blue hair, tattoos and piercings. She see’s the beauty in everything, except she doesn’t see her owner inner and outer beauty. Ryder is a young model, looking to make a name for himself and to help his family out. He’s got the model good lucks….EVERYWHERE. He doesn’t act is age, he is on a whole different maturity level than most people. He’s a gentleman and there is much more to him than what meets the eye.

The chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS! From the very first moment Ryder and Lexie met there was insanely hot chemistry, it was off the charts. As the story progresses that chemistry and connection only continues to grow. Seriously, you’re going to need a fan or two. Their relationship wasn’t easy, however, no matter what life through at them they handle it in strides. Age is just a number, when you have a connection that is undeniable like Ryder and Lexie’s nothing else matters.

The Model is everything you could want in a reverse age gap, but this story is so much more than that. There is so much that was unexpected and took the story and Lexie and Ryder’s relationship to a whole different level. A MUST READ from Harlow and one I’d highly recommend to anyone who loves this trope!

The Best Man was completely unexpected. I went into this book completely blind and it was the best kind of surprise. This story captured my soul and I completely fell in love with it.

Brie is the girl of Cainan’s dreams, literally. One fateful night forever changed both of their lives.
Cainan was in a horrible car accident and when he wakes up weeks later asking for his wife and children everyone is confused. He doesn’t have a wife. However, there is a woman and a family he saw vividly in his dreams. She feels real, he knows things about the woman, but he doesn’t know where she is. Brie came across a terrible accident, she stayed with the man until helped arrived, she waited at the hospital as long as she could. She wanted to make sure he was okay. So, what happens when you’re dream girl is on the arm of your best friend?

I loved Brie! She doesn’t settle, she knows what she wants and despite it being the unpopular opinion amongst her family, she is going to do what truly makes her the happiest. Cainan is quiet, keeps to himself, but you can feel his struggle between his connection with Brie and his loyalty to his best friend. The chemistry and connection between Brie and Cainan was beautiful. They had such a deep connection with one another.

I DEVOURED this story. I got completely sucked in and wrapped up in everything. I truly didn’t want this book to end, but I couldn’t put it down. The Best Man is a story about fate, a deep connection and seeing the signs that will point you in the right direction.

The Best Man is a MUST READ, one of my TOP READS of 2020 and hands down my favorite book from Winter Renshaw.

Karen Ferry is a new to me author and I completely fell in love while reading this story. Amalie and Finlay’s story is definitely one for the stars.

Amalie is a dancer, she is private, she is smart, strong, and gorgeous. Finlay is a journalist, he is protective, passionate, sweet, and loving. When Finlay is tasked to write a story on Amalie, she wants nothing to do with him, she doesn’t want to be interviewed, however, they spend time together, they get to know each other and from there sparks begin to fly.

Amalie and Fin had chemistry from the start. They were drawn to each other. Each of them brought out something in the other and made them a better person. Their story was believable from the start, it progressed at a natural pace and never felt rushed by any means.

Daring To Love is truly magical and Amalie and Finlay’s romance was truly written in the stars. A MUST READ novella!

Sorry Shane and Keaton, but you’ve both been demoted to #2 and #3 on my Kayley Book Boyfriend list.

I LOVED every single thing about this book. Nico is a charmer, he is talented, sweet, caring, loving, protective. It is impossible not to fall in love with him. Kat is a single mom to the most adorable little boy, she is hard working and insanely talented. She is loving and caring and strong. There is so much chemistry between Nico and Kat from the moment the met. Kat tries to deny it, but you can only resist the Nico charm for so long before you cave. Together they are explosive in the best way possible. I’ve never read about a hotter haircut! Tate, Kat’s son, he is ADORABLE. Seriously, the kid stole the show. He is super sweet, fun, loves magic tricks and jokes. Plus, the bond he forms with Nico is adorable (serious ovary explosion).

The Nico and Shane bromance aka #TeamShanico is something I never knew I needed in my life but I’m glad it is there now. It was loving, caring, hilarious and everything you would expect for two best friends turned brother in laws. There are not enough words to describe how much I love their relationship, but it is just something you have to read.

The secondary characters are perfect and add so much to this story from Tate, to more of Willa, Shane, Summer and Lucky, to the bus driver Ricky and my two favorite grandmothers EVER, Grammie and Lou. Those two KILLED me. They had me laughing and added so much to Nico and Kat’s story.

If you love a single mom, Rockstar, slow burn romance full of laughs, tears and heat then you’ll definitely want to get ready to have your pants charmed off by Nico! A MUST READ!!!!

Move over Keaton Bridges because Shane Miller just dethroned you as my favorite Kayley book boyfriend.

I loved Shane and Willa from the start. The Hollywood Star and the awkward, nerdy perfumer. Their initial meet cute was super awkward and hilarious and everything you would have expected from a young girl meeting her teenage crush. Flash forward many years and when they meet again it is just as amazing.

I loved the inner thoughts from both Shane and Willa throughout the story, it provided some additional insight into both of their characters. Plus, their chemistry was on FIRE. I loved how well they balanced each other out. Shane is super sweet and ultra swoony. Summer and Lucky, those two sweet adorable children. I even liked Margo, even though I really didn’t want to. Plus, Nico. (PS Kayley I really hope he is getting a book!).

If you love single parent/nanny romances with a little bit of movie star mixed in this is definitely one to check out. Just be ready for Shane, Willa, Lucky and Summer to steal your heart.

Sleeper is another AMAZING book by Kayley Loring and a MUST READ!

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

The audiobook is now available and you'll want to get your hands on it ASAP! Teddy and Mackenzie do an amazing job at bringing Shane and Willa to life. Their chemistry is amazing and they are both amazingly talented narrators.

I didn't think it was possible to love this story more, but I do. If you've read the story and you're a fan of audiobooks this is definitely one you'll want to listen to.

This book was a breath of fresh air. It has been a while since I’ve laughed so hard while reading. This was a crazy, wild adventure that I want to read over and over again.

Luca may be a con man but you can’t help but love him. He cares for his family and will do anything for them. Francis, I can’t even begin to describe how much I enjoyed her. She was sheltered and is adorably quirky and like Luca says, “she’s nuttier than a squirrel on an acorn farm”. They are two very different people, but Luca needs Francis to get his family back. So what happens then the con man and the captive plus Mr. Bing go on a wild ride across the country? Well, you’ll just have to find out for yourself.

Luca and Frannie are complete opposites but I loved their chemistry. They helped each other, the protected each other and I loved watching their story play out. Every single character in this story was hilarious and added so much to the overall story. I couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear the entire time I was reading this story.

This was an over top, super fun romance full of plenty of many characters and loads of IOUS. A MUST READ and such an unexpected surprise.

What happens when a journalist and a photographer meet in the beautiful setting of Kenya? You get a steamy romance full of chemistry, heat and world travel.

Cora is a journalist working in Kenya. Julian is a photographer assigned to assist Cora. From the moment these two meet there is an attraction, that attraction quickly escalates into something stronger, lust. A bet is made and those are meant to be broken.

Cora and Julian have instant chemistry and as the story progresses it grows stronger and stronger. I loved their relationship. They compliant each other, the instantly supported each other and motivated each other. Despite everything starting out as a physical attraction they had something that went so much deeper.

If Only is a fairly quick, steamy read that will take you all over Kenya, to Colombia to a brief stint in Siberia. Get ready to travel and fall in love with Cora and Julian.

I have been waiting for Bebe’s book from the moment we first met her character. We’ve gotten glimpses of her throughout the series and we know her talents, however, it always felt that there was something missing and something more to her. Code Name: Hacker was everything I could have wanted and everything I didn’t know I needed.

Bebe is a hacker, a damn good one, she is a mom, a daughter, and a friend. She spent 7 years in prison for a crime, but now she works for the good guys. Despite being free, she wasn’t. Her past could come back and find her at any time. Griffin is helping a blast from Bebe’s past, the past that has finally caught up with her. However, what he didn’t expect is that there would be so much more to Bebe besides being a criminal and a hacker.

I love Bebe. I have since the moment she was introduced and love her even more now. She is insanely smart, she is honest, especially with her son about her past, she is hardworking, determined, strong and just overall amazing. Griffin was sort of a mystery. I hated him, then I loved him, then hated him again and finally loved him all over again. He is a man on a mission and will do whatever he can to complete it. He is protective, especially over Bebe the more he gets to know her. The two of them have loads of chemistry and despite a little hiccup in the middle that chemistry was there and brewing.

There was more of the Jameson crew, which I love! If you’ve read the previous book there is a little continuation across the storyline, however, it can be read as a standalone. I am counting down the days until the next release after the way this one ended!

Code Name: Hacker is a MUST READ and my favorite of the series to date! It has suspense, heat, action, and drama!

I have been dying for more of Matthew and Nina since reading The Scarlet Night. That little novella caught me hook, line and sinker. The Other Man is the first book in their story and it was brilliant, beautiful and completely addicting.

It is hard not to love Matthew. He’s hardworking, determined and the man knows what he wants and he isn’t afraid to go after it. Plus, the man is super protective. He’s the only man in his family and the way he looks after his sisters is great. I love the sense of family he has when it comes to them, his nieces and nephews and his nonna. Nina may be married, have a family, come from wealth, but there is no hiding the fact she is lonely. Matthew brings out a different side of her and Nina brings out a different side in Matthew. They are two halves that make a whole. However, their “relationship” isn’t easy and at this point I don’t think it ever will be. There is an insane amount of chemistry between them, seriously, when they are together things are explosive!

The Other Man is full of secrets, twists, turns, suspense, drama and HEAT. Once you start it you won’t be able to stop. I can’t wait to see what is in store for them in book 2 of the series. This one is a MUST READ for me!
