What a great ending to the Manhattan Fairytale series.

I was worried about how this 3rd and final installment was going to end. After the way things ended in Feisty Princess, I was worried for our lovelies.

While this is not as hot and sexy as the first 2 installments of the series, this is a heck of a lot more emotional - and I loved it!

I laughed, I cried, I wanted to scream in frustration at Alexander and Margo, but most of all I wanted them to find their HEA. But to find out if they did you will have to read for yourself.

It wouldn't be Manhattan Fairtytale book without my favourite man Yamada! He had many a sage word of advice.... but then would have me in stitches with his perviness.

Do yourself a favour madafakas and read this book!

Continuing on from where the first book Dirtiest Secret ends, I was enraptured from the first word to the last.

Dallas and Jane's story is not an easy one, there are so much darkness lurking being the smiles and the reputations. My heart just keeps on breaking for them both, but especially for Dallas.

I just want this adorable broken pair to get their happy ever after, but just as I think they might be getting close, Ms Kenner rips it all away from me... again!

There are so many ups and downs, twists and turns in Hottest Mess that I never know which way I am going to be pulled next - and I love it.

I didn't want this installment of the S.I.N series to end, but it had to. But be warned...

We were cliffhangered! And OMG WHAT a cliffhanger!

Can't wait for the last installment, The Sweetest Taboo to hit my kindle.

Musicians? Check!
M/M romance? Check!

A.M Arthur is a new to me author, but I am a sucker for a rocker and a bit of a m/m groupie these days, so it really was a no brainer for me to read Body Rocks.

Trey Cooper never knew that going out one night would change his life forever.

Dominic was fighting demons that night he hopped on stage at Off Beat, the bar where Trey worked and had gone that night.

OMG the chemistry between this pair is amazing - not just physically but musically as well.

I loved that each of the characters in this story is flawed. And their flaws made them perfect to me.

While at times I felt that the writing was a little cliched, the storyline and the characters soon made me forget that and pulled me right back into their lives.

This is not just some boy meets boy, they fall in love and live happily ever after kind of story. It is darker, grittier and at times hard to read (not the story, but what happens to our lovelies). I laughed, I cried, I got angry right along with the characters.

There are some fantastic secondary characters whose stories I am looking forward to in the future *cough cough Mr Size 14 please!*

I have had this book on my kindle forever, but I have only just read it.

Why in the world did I wait so long?

I adore Lou and all her quirks. No cookie cutter normalness for this woman! and she is just what Will needed.

Oh Will ... you are now in my heart for the foreseeable future.

There were some characters that I really disliked most of the time - and they were Lou's family. My goodness I felt that they used her abominably, and then when she wanted to branch out they made her feel like dog poo on their shoes. I loved that she stood up to them in the end.

I have not been living under a rock so I knew how this book ended, but even with knowing, I was a blubbering, ugly crying snotty mess for the last 15%. Even knowing how things panned out, I still held hope that things would be different right up until the end.

Me Before You is an emotional, at time gut wrenching read - and I would give anything to be able to go back and read it again for the first time.

I loved returning to Christmas, Colorado. Although I have not read all of the earlier books, I adore each of the books I have read to date.

There was just something about Jill Flaherty in the earlier books that gave me a but feeling that I would really like about her story.

And like I did. I think this is my favourite of the Christmas, Colorado books to date.

Jill - tough as nails with a heart of gold, she has endeared herself to me in previous books with her love for her family and friends

We can all relate to her and her crush on her brother's best friend Sawyer. Who hasn't love/lusted after a friend at some time?

Then there is Sawyer. Hot damn, the damage I would do to that man! Sweet, sexy, hot as Hades!

Watching Jill and Sawyer dance around each other gives us that delayed gratification for if/when they finally do get their act together. Though with this title, is it really a matter of if?

I am late to this series, but Ms Mason is quickly becoming one of those authors that I will always pick up and read when I get the chance.

Each visit to Christmas is like coming home to an extended family, being wrapped up in a warm blanket whilst sipping a cup of hot chocolate.

I can't wait to see what Ms Mason brings us next.

Firstly - I want to lick that cover. Seriously!

Secondly - what a sweet romance. This book had the perfect blend of sweet, sassy, sexy and hot, with a chunk of humour thrown in for good measure.

I loved Kline and Georia, and now I can't wait to dive into their novella , and impatiently waiting Thatch's story. Please don't make me wait too long!

I am not going to lie, it did take me a little bit to get into Moon Mark - but that could just have been my mood at the time.

But once I got started, I needed to know where Madeline's story would go.

It has been a while since I have been in the world of the Joyal, Kireg and Mian.

Madeline is a feisty woman, who really is a thorn in the side of those around her. And I love her for it.

Geo is the rebellion leader of the Kireg, and there is a fine line between love and hate for these two. But when they are thrown together, sparks fly.

Moon Mark is full of adventure, drama and a whole lot of hot.

I LOVED that we got a little bit of Braita again too.

Can't wait to see what comes next.

More of our billionaire bad boys - oh yeah!

This is pretty much a epilogue for Georgie and Kline, and a prologue for Cassie and Thatch.

This really is Cassie and Thatch's story more than Georgie and Kline. Whilst I like the tidbits we got of their honeymoon, C & T just made this story.

G & K were the sweet to C & T's funny and sexy.

There was more than one occasion when I wished I was in Bora Bora instead of in cold and wet winter Australia!

There were plenty of LOL moments, especially when it came to Kline's a&&hole of a cat Walter, conversations with Cassie's boobs, and Thatch's d!ck!

Whilst I felt that we didn't really need this novella as it could have all been part of the next book, it was a great quick read and a wonderful stepping stone to Banking The Billionaire.

Is it July yet??

It has been a while since I read the Wildflowers series, and it was great to get back into this series.

Camila Cohen has been burned by men and has decided that she is no longer going to date. Driven by schooling and her career, it is enough for her.

Until a blind date completely blindsides her.

I adored Marshall right from the get go. There was just something about him on that first "date" that had me rooting for him.

Through all their trials and tribulations, I could feel the connection between them. There was a spark, a pull that could not be denied.

And then there were the sexy times... wow were they hot!

The thing that I really liked about Uncovering Camila, more than the earlier books in the series was that this story wasn't just based on the sex. Whereas the other books were based on sex then forming a relationship, C.C and Marshall started forming a relationship from their first meeting, and it wasn't all about the sex.

And this, among other things, makes this my favourite book in the series.

Uncovering Camila took me from emotional highs to emotional lows, all the while hoping, cheering for Camila and Marshall to make it.

But to find out if they do, you will have to read for yourself.

I am now looking forward to the next in this series.

Oh my f&cking hot!

They say what happens backstage stays backstage, but with this book it goes on the tour bus, the hotel, the beach, the everywhere.

This truly was the beginning of my love affair with Sinners, and I never ever want the affair to end!
