If you have read Ms Aster's Manhattanites series, you will have met our leading lady Poppy White previously - though if you are like me, you mostly didn't like her.

You don't have to have read the series to jump in with Undercover serial, but they are so much fun why would you want to miss them?

Poppy and Jagger - work colleagues who find out they share a lover - this could be interesting, right?

There is mystery and intrigue, but just as things start to get interesting - BAM, we were cliffhangered (but that is not a surprise as we are told up front that this is the case).

Short and quick, Undercover is a great introduction to the series, and now need to know what happens next.

Oh yeah, back to The Silo we go!

Woohoo the latest addition to the Wicked Horse series is here!

We have met Logan McKay in the previous books in this series, particularly in Rand's book (who could forget that wicked hot action with Rand and Cat??)

Logan's story carries on from that night, and what a story it is.

There are so many questions in Logan's story. Why is he in Wyoming and at The Silo. What is the thing in his past that he can't move on from.

Then there is Aurelie, the woman how has been on his mind since their eyes met across The Silo.

She is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Nothing is what is seems when it comes to her.

There is so much sexual tension between Logan and Aurelie that at times it felt like the air around them would combust. And I loved that things were drawn out with them (which I usually don't!)

There was plenty of suspense and intrigue with this pair, and this kept on going right up until the end.

The only thing for me though, was that all the stuff that was happening throughout, all the suspensey stuff ... just was over. Poof... done and dusted. I would love to have known more about how things went down, and I felt a little jipped that I didn't (but this could just be me!)

Wicked Ride has been another great step in the journey to where I really want it to be... Bridger's story!

Please don't make me wait too long for him!

Another Sawyer Bennett story - woohoo!


ARC received for an honest review

If you have read her other series, you would have met Kyle briefly - I remember him from the Wicked Horse series.

I adored his troubled, rugged handyman ways, trying to hide but also wanting his old life back. I loved how he struggled to ignore the adorable Jane's advances.

What a ray of sunshine is Jane - so cheerful and bubbly, and it is completely understandable that she gets under his skin.

I couldn't help but need this pair to find their HEA.

I loved the small town vibe of the story, and for some reason it has made this country girl want to go find somewhere she can go stare at a sexy, tattooed lighthouse keeper for a day or forever.

This is a cute and sexy and sweet and adorable story, I hope we get more stories set here in the future.

Ms Bennett, you had me at rock star

It is no secret that if Ms Bennett writes a book, this girl is going to read it. Whether it is hockey hotties, cowboys or sexy as sin rock stars, I will devour it.

Evan and Emma's story is a cute one, though at times I couldn't understand Evan's infatuation with her She was so hot and cold to him that I felt that at times it took away from their connection - but this could just be me.

Don't get me wrong, I liked her but she frustrated more than Evan did - and it is usually the rock starts whorish ways that irritate me more than anything! I am not quite sure what it was that made me feel like this though.

I did like the way Evan drew her out of her shell. He could infuriate her more that anyone else, bring out the fire in her.

The star of this book is definitely Emma's dog, Sirius! he is such the unruly puppy that he made me laugh with his antics.

There are some great secondary characters that made this story even better, especially Evan's aunt and Emma's dad.

I felt that we could have learned more about Evan's parents though. There is so much there to know, but we only got a few snippets here and there about them. I also felt that there was more we could have learned about Evan's ex band mates, but things there just seemed to be an easy fix.

But again, this could just be me.

If you are looking for a cute and sweet rock star book, this is the go.

A Letter From Italy was the perfect way for me to pop my Pamela Hart cherry!

This book was inspired by the first female war correspondent, and what a story it is.

It is a sweeping, beautiful, emotional story that does wonderful justice for a part of history that for the most part has been swept under the carpet (I am not ashamed to admit that I did not know of Louise Mack and what she did).

Rebecca's story is one that I am sure could be told hundreds of times over - the loving and supportive wife following the husband wherever he goes, keeping quiet and doing as he expects.

Instead she is vocal on her career, her marriage, her expectations in life - and I loved her for it. This story shows how far we have come in the past century, but also highlights how far we still need to go.

The story is intriguing, enlightening, action packed and full of passion.

I really think that A Letter From Italy would make a wonderful movie or mini series - someone needs to get onto that pronto!

Now I am going to go back and read Ms Hart's other works, and look forward to what she brings us next.

I have said it before - this series is the one that got me back into reading the MC genre, and each time I finish a book in the series, I am left wanting more.

We met Ranger earlier in the series, and at the end of the last book I was desperate for his story, and Ms Fernando has granted my wish.

Ranger is at a crossroads in his life. Does he fit in at the WDMC? Should he stay or should he go? What does he want with his life?

When an old friend is in danger, he is (willingly) dragged into the search for her, but what he is not so keen on is his partner... a cop.

But there are sparks, and what Ranger wants, Ranger goes for. And he wants Johanna, bad.

As our lovelies are taken on the ride to find the missing woman, other things are also taken for a ride *nudge nudge*.

As the story and their relationship progresses, they have plenty of prejudices and hurdles to overcome, but as I read each chapter, I just knew that these two would make it. They just had to.

I have adored Ranger since he first popped into the WDMC world, and I was not disappointed in his story at all, loved seeing his story come to life, and he has quickly become a fast favourite in this series (though Tracker is still in the lead there!!)

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

It's been a couple of years since I have read a Kendall Ryan book (I somehow even missed the first Roommates book!) but I can guarantee that I won't be leaving it so long between reads again.

The Play Mate sweet, fun, sexy with a little bit of everything thrown in for good measure.

Smith Hamilton - can a girl just claim him for herself (well, too bad if you can't, as I did!!)

Evie Reed is the girl that has loved him for a long time, but since Smith is her brother's best friend, she has never acted on it.

Gosh I loved Evie - she was all I am woman, hear me roar (as I sneak into your bedroom). I loved that she went for it, you go girl! However, I did at times want to shake some sense into the girl.

I adored the banter, the UST, the snarky and sexy comments between the pair.

The Play Mate is playful and sexy and just what this girl needed.

Now I need to go back and read The Room Mate, and get ready for Book 3 which comes out next month.

I wasn't a fan of Nick in the earlier books in the series, so it has taken me from release to now to actually read/listen to it.

"Now" Nick is much better than I thought he was going to be. He came across as human, which to me he hadn't really done in the past. "Then" Nick always felt a bit heartless to me (but that could just be me!)

In typical KA fashion, our leading lady was strong, but wouldn't take the help that she needed until our boy's alpha tendencies came out to play - and I liked it when Nick came out to play.

Olivia I did find harder to connect with (again, this could just be me). She didn't really stand out for me, there was nothing that annoyed me, she just seemed to fall into the background at times.

I loved getting snippets of the other Unfinished Heroes, and felt that all of their stories came to the end they all deserved.

I adored the first book in the Body Armor series, but for me Hard Justice was just on another level of adorableness.

Fallon and Justice would never have met under normal circumstances, but now that they have, they really are MFEO.

Fallon - oh dear did my heart go out to her, but I loved her pluck, how she would no longer let fear rule her.

Justice is just all kinds of swoony. Tall, hard, tattooed - I need to get myself a bodyguard to find me one of him of my own!

There is a bit of mystery running in the background of our lovelies story, and there were a few red herrings thrown in there to put us off track.

I love the spark between our lovelies. From the first glances to the end, there was just something between them, even when they didn't want it to be there.

One thing though - the need for a bodyguard most of the time was pretty OTT by Fallon' parents, and I got frustrated for her with the way her father acted.

We get lots of Leese from the first book and the fighters from the Ultimate series, and I hope we get more of them in the future books.

Now we have a long wait until the 3rd book in the series hits our kindles :( But it will be worth it!

Get ready to go Balls Deep as Amy Daws delivers another amazing read.

You don't need to have read the first Harris brothers book, Challenge, to enjoy Endurance, but why would you want to miss any of the goodness?

Tanner and Belle are made for each other - they just need to see through their current opinions of each other to see it.

Not going to lie, Tanner was pretty unlikable at first - but that didn't last too long for me. Though I may have wanted to do physical harm to him at times!

I felt that both our lovelies needed to do a bit of growing up at first - not professionally but emotionally. However I also felt that this was how they needed to be become who they are.

And the fact that Tanner let Belle's crazy flag fly just added to his swoonworthiness.

I LOVED that we got glimpses of the people from Not The One and That One Moment (well, they are all interconnected in some way), and especially loved that we got more of my man Hayden .. sigh that man ❤

Each and every book by Ms Daws just gets better. Every time I tell myself the next one can't be as good as the last, and it is.

And although no one will ever be as good as my man Hayden, Tanner gave him a run for his money.

Now can't wait to see which of the Harris brothers gets into mischief next.
