Oz has been in love with Lo since the moment they met, yet he never felt good enough for her and she is his twin sister’s best friend. When Lo is assaulted, he does everything he can to protect her, to keep her safe, and to be there for her. Even if he knows they may never be anything more than friends.

I loved Lo. She is a fighter. I loved seeing her journey of how she overcome her assault and she learned to find herself again. It wasn’t always an easy road but she had more love and support than she could have ever imagine. I loved Oz. He had his own secrets and his own skeletons in his closet, but when he finally got the courage to admit what was going on in his life, I love that he had a ton of love and support from his friends and family.

The connection between Lo and Oz is beautiful. They are friends and will always be a shoulder the other one can lean on when they need it. The chemistry between them is beautiful and captivating. I loved seeing the natural progression of their relationship. Nothing ever felt rushed between them.

It was great getting to see more of Fin and West mixed into the story and see where things are with them. I can’t wait to return back to Willow Bay with the next book of this series.

If you’re looking for a sister’s best friend, friends to lovers, sports romance this is one to read.

Dangerous Temptation is addicting and captivating from the start. The prologue completely sucks you in and as the story continues takes you further down the rabbit hole.

Despite her young age, I love Bianca. She is mature for only being 17 and is a pseudo mother to her 7 year old brother, Brandon. The love she has for him and how protective she is over him is strong. It is really them against the world, only now they are under the care of Tiernan.

Tiernan is the black sheep of the Morelli family, he really has no relationship with his siblings. I love that he has created his own family in a sense and they are people that he would trust wit his life. People he would also trust to watch over Bianca and her brother. He says he is a monster, yet there is something deep down in him that shows he truly isn’t as monstrous as he may think.

The relationship between Bianca and Tiernan is different. He is her guardian, but here is also some dislike and also some scoring chemistry beneath the surface. I love that Bianca isn’t scared of him, she continually pushes his buttons. I love that Tiernan is also pushes Bianca buttons. These two are bringing out different sides to each other that neither of them realized they had.

This is book one of a duet and does end on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see where things go with these two and the continued war between the Morelli and Constantine families.

I love Olivia. She comes from an affluent family and they have ideas in their minds of what she should be doing with her life. Yet, I love that she is able to find something she enjoys and I love that she has become passionate about engineering. She is a character that you can’t help but fall in love with. Sawyer is a little rough around the edges, there is definitely more to his story and I can’t wait to get more inside of his mind and learn more about him.

The chemistry between Olivia and Sawyer was instant. The moment they met they were drawn to each other and when they learned who the other truly was, that may have slowed things down a little but the chemistry between them was still glowing red hot.

There is a lot of build up throughout this story, getting to know these characters and their stories. There is plenty of steam, forbidden connections and plenty of drama. I am DYING for more of Olivia and Sawyer! I can’t wait to see how everything continues in book two!

If you’re looking for a forbidden, professor/student romance this is one to read.

Tricking Mr. Scott is full steam ahead from the start.

Blaire and Wylder have an instant connection. They have a forbidden relationship from the start since she is a student and his TA and he is a professor. However, they have an undeniable connection and can’t seem to stay away from each other.

I loved the back and forth between Blaire and Wylder. I loved that they both knew exactly what they wanted from the start. While full of passion, their relationship was also sweet and the two of them are perfect for each other.

This is a fast paced story that can easily be read in a single sitting but I loved every single moment of it. It is full of tricks and plenty of treats.

If you’re looking for a student/teacher, insta love, steamy read this is one to read.

I don’t know wtf I just read but I LOVED it. From the moment I started reading Unsettled I was captivated; I was hooked and I couldn’t put it down. It is addictive, dark, twisted and jaw dropping. I can’t even form begin to form words to describe how much I love this book.

Unsettled is not going to be for everyone. There are many things that could trigger someone, so read this at your own risk.

Beautiful women are turning up dead all over town with a beautiful origami butterfly on their bodies. Night after night this is happening. No one knows who the Butterfly Kisses killer is. What their motives are. This story will have you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out who is behind it.

AJ Wolf wrote a beautifully, twisted story that made my psychological thriller lover soul so insanely happy. This story isn’t for the faint of heart and if you can handle it, it is a MUST READ!!!!!

I don’t know if there are enough words to describe this story. It is one that you need to go into completely blind. From page one all the way the final page this story is addicting, captivating and full of twists and turns that you won’t even see coming.

I LOVE Ria. Absolutely love her. She starts out as a young, naïve, innocent and somewhat weak girl, but as the story progresses, she finds the strength and confidence in herself. Her growth throughout the story is everything. You can’t help but want nothing but the best for her, you can’t help but root for her throughout the story. I loved seeing how come into her own strength and power. She is a BA and one of my favorite heroines.

Zayne was previously introduced in book two of this series, Incognito, and I have been looking forward to his story. This was so much more than I could have ever expected and I love Zayne even more than I already did. Vincenzo, well you just have to meet the man for yourself. But he’ll probably steal your heart, too.

This book completely consumed me. Each of these characters have past and its heartbreaking, they have so much history, pain and love. Really, this entire series captivating me.

This is a review for Callous Boys by Laura Lee.

From page one I was instantly hooked on this story and couldn’t put it down!

Andi, Nico, Vaughn and Cruz have been best friends their entire lives. They do everything together. As they grew older Nico, Vaughn and Cruz started to notice Andi more. Their feelings started to change and they became more protective of her. Andi had also developed feelings for all three of her best friends and she was also protective of the three of them.

The chemistry, the steam, the suspense. This story had it all. I loved the friendship between these 4 characters. I loved the chemistry between all of them. Andi had a different connection with each of them, but when it came to her feelings she couldn’t just pick one of them. She couldn’t lose any of them and needed them all in her life. Nico Vaughn and Cruz had an agreement between each other that they would be open about how things go with Andi. No one wanted to risk their friendship.

I loved seeing how their friendship slowly turned into something more. Seeing how they are all navigating this change that is completely new to all of them. They are trying to find their own normal in all of it. Cruz and Nico are definitely more open to the whole relationship, but Vaughn is more possessive and less keen on sharing Andi with the other two, but also open to seeing where things go between all of them.

THAT ENDING! I had to pick my jaw off the floor!! That cliffhanger killed me. I am already dying for more of Andi, Nico, Vaughn and Cruz. I can’t wait to see where the story goes and to see how the relationship between the 4 of them changes, especially with how things were left at the end.

From the moment Stella saw Samson she had a crush on him. Over the years that crush continued to grow stronger and eventually Samson’s feelings toward Stella began to change. After some time the two of them couldn’t deny their connection, but due to the six year age difference and Samson being best friends with Stella’s brother their relationship was only in secret. What was supposed to be the best and happiest day of Stella’s life quickly became the worst day and she was left heartbroken.

I loved the connection that Stella and Samson had. Even at a young age Samson included Stella. He wanted to be around her. She was his light. Even after the pain and heartbreak there was still a connection, they were both still drawn to each other. There was still so much love between them. Despite all that, I loved that Stella just didn’t run right back into Samson’s arms. She made him work for it and I love that Samson did everything he could to try and make up for the mistake he made.

For everything that happened, I felt like this story was low in angst and I found myself wishing for a little more of that. There were plenty of sweet moments and plenty of steamy moments between Samson and Stella throughout the story which I did enjoy.
