It was a bittersweet feeling, starting to read Undeniable Temptation. I have been impatiently waiting Ryan and Leah's story since this series began, but it brings the end of the Reckless Beat series and I don't want that!

I have been anxious and impatient for their story for so long now. It has been a few days now since I finished reading, and it has taken me this long to get my thoughts about it down on paper.

I laughed, I cried, my heart broke. I yearned for these lovelies to finally get their HEA. So many hurdles to overcome, so many roadblocks to their relationship. It was hard at times to read - not because of the book or the writing, but because I wanted this to happen for them so much.

The characters in this series are complex, flawed, believable. Over the past 4 years I feel like I have come to really know these people (hey, they are real to me!) and I am going to miss their antics.

But I can only hope that we will get more of them in the future... perhaps in Reckless Beat: The Next Gen?

Undeniable Temptation was the perfect ending to the Reckless Beat series, and I can't wait so see what Ms Summers brings us next.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started Love In Lingerie. The author alone had me keen to dive in, as Ms Torre has not disappointed me with her books yet.

From Kate and Trey's first meeting, I knew I was going to adore them both. Full of flirtation, but Trey has a definite no fraternisation rule at his company. So friends it is.

This pair were never cut out to be just friends. Years of near kisses and relationship misses see us taken on their journey as they deny themselves what they really want - each other.

Through it all though, we don't have any big drama or angst. I put this down to the fact that the characters are in their 30's and not so prone to the big blow ups and theatrics of younger characters. Or maybe it is just that I am an old fart these days and the younger characters these days just feel soooo much younger.

Ms Torre had me enthralled from the moment I started reading. I have come to really enjoy her style of writing. It is quite simplistic in a way, but the story jumped off the page. I stayed up way too late and got up way to early so I could finish this book. I just needed to know what was gong to happen next with Kate and Trey.

Kate and Trey's story is a slow burn, forbidden -though not taboo- type story. And when I say slow burn I mean things don't come to a head until very late in the story. It is subtle, and sensual and just a book that I didn't know I needed to read - but I really did!

The Devil's Daughter is a big step away from the usual Katee Robert fare - and I like it!

This book is a lot darker, grittier than her other books i have read. It is full of suspense, drama, murder and mystery. There were so many twists and turns, that every time I thought I knew what was going to happen next.

BAM. I was wrong.

I did throw out a hail mary guess of who the bad guy was about 75% of the way into the book, and whilst I was right in the who (goodness knows how I got it right!) the when and why was a real surprise.

This book focuses more on the suspense than the romance - but I am ok with that. There was always that undercurrent of attraction between Zach and Eden but I was glad that it was kind of in the background most of the time.

I enjoyed the characters, the story line kept me intrigued,and I really did like the darker feel to this book.

Now I am impatiently waiting to see what Ms Robert brings us next.

Sweet baby cheeses and all that is holey. I would buy this book based on the cover alone, let alone it being Vi Keeland book! Humina Humina!!


From their first adorable meeting to the last word, there is so much spark between this sweet marriage counsellor and the shark divorce lawyer. Hard to see how this pair could have anything in common - but man oh man the lust and sexual tension between them is off the charts.

I loved the banter between them - fighting really is their foreplay! And when that foreplay leads to more...

Egomaniac had everything a girl could want her rom-com books. Engaging characters, sweet and fun storyline, a little bit of drama - but no angst.

So now that I have finished, I am packing my bags early for my visit to NYC and going to find me a Drew

If you read Lori's Ultimate Fighter series, you might remember Leese - he was a bit unlikable at times, but as the series progressed you kinda couldn't help but like him?

But even if you haven't read that series, you will adore him in Under Pressure.

Under Pressure is a fast paced, sexy, suspenseful story, full of action and a healthy dose of sexy bodyguard action.

I adored the insta-attraction between Leese and Cat, and the fact that they fought it, and didn't just dive into bed together. Cat is just too cute for words, I couldn't help but love her right from the beginning.

There is lots of danger and action and wondering who is going to be the next person to cause them drama. Lots of naughty politicians and rich people who think they can get away with stuff.

I love everyone banding together to give them a big middle finger!

I really liked the trainee bodyguard Justice - another MMA fighter of course. Can't wait to see where his story goes. And Miles - oh yes I need to know more Miles!

Please don't leave me waiting too long Ms Foster

A new series from Sloan Johnson? Let me at it!

Down By Contact is the first in the Wilmington Breakers series, moving from baseball to football.

I adored Zach when we met him in Line Drive - he is Nate's twin - but now we have his whole story, and I couldn't help but fall completely and utterly under his and Griffin's spell.

First Love. Lost Love, Rekindled Love - this is Zach and Griffin's story. Unexpectedly reunited, you could feel the hurt leap off the page as they try to come to terms with events from the past and being together now.

I loved the behind the scenes of the NFL aspect of the story. I know absolutely nothing about NFL (I am Australian, call me when they don't need padding and don't have to stop every 14 seconds to have a cup of tea and a meeting!) so I was glad that this was set in the preseason - if there had been lots of football talk I would have been at a complete loss!

I just love Ms Johnson's writing and the way she brings her characters to life. Zach and Griffin just leapt off the pages. She weaves such an intricate story, without lots of unnecessary fluff. I needed to turn each page, had to know what happened next.

Down By Contact is a fantastic start to her new series, and I can't wait for the next book.

Any Time, Any Place carries on where Everywhere and Every Way ends, but could be read as a stand alone (but would you want to miss any of the builder hotness?)

We were kind of introduced to our leading lady in the first book , but just as the fiery bartender who doesn't want a bar of our Pierce boys.

Dalton is the youngest of the Pierce tribe, still feeling a little on the outer in business with his brothers, but finally settling back in to Harrington life.

Our lovelies are connected in the most devastating way, yet neither knows it - yet. This leads to sparks and snark and unwanted lust.. or is it unwanted.

These two are both a little emotionally broken in their way. I love they way that they bring each other out of the emotional barriers they have formed around themselves. They are really quite perfect for each other - if they will let themselves be.

I love the banter between the brothers, but really, the stars of this series are Caleb's two unruly dogs, Balin and Gandalf. They had me laughing out loud with some of their antics.

All through, I just hoped that Raven and Dalton would find their way to their HEA -though it is not going to be an easy journey.

This is a sweet an sexy and at times heart breaking story, and I read it in one day, I just had to know what happened next.

Can't wait for the next installments- cos I am kinda in love with these fellas.

I am not usually a big fan of novellas, as I fell that they are just so rushed.

But this is a JL Perry novella, and I should have known not to worry about that.

Harrison and Hanna's story is sexy AF, hot, short and sweet. Ms Perry sure has packed a punch in this short story.

I laughed, I got angry, I may have shed a tear or two. And I could feel the love between the characters jump off the page.

It left me wanting more, this little snippet of their lives just didn't feel like enough. I hope we get more of them in the future

Getting voted most likely to never leave your hometown - would it make you stay, or even more determined to leave?

For Zoe, that title made her even more determined to get out of dodge, leaving her high school sweetheart Luke behind.

And boy do I love how they have proved the town wrong! But as amazing as her life looks from the outside, she still has her demons, her cross to bear, those who want to drag her down.


And Luke... omg that guy is all kinds of swoonworthy.

I loved the character growth in Zoe as the story progressed, from a character that I liked to a character that I really adored.

I love love love the banter between Zoe, Mel (from book 1) and Jo, the wit and snark that can only come from being best friends.

There were some times that the story just made me want to throw my kindle - not from the writing, just things that characters did!

There is a bit of drama, a bit of suspense and a whole lotta love in Staying For Good. And great build up to Jo's story - Please don't leave us waiting too long Ms Bybee!

Every time I pick up a Kristen Ashley book, I tell myself that I can't love it any more than the last one, that no KA man can be better than *insert last KA man here*

And every time, I am wrong. I loved Reckoning as much as every other, and I think Mace might be giving Whiskey a run for his money as my favourite Hot Bunch man.

Why did i leave it so long since reading the last RC book?
