A rugby book? Let me at it!

Ruck Me is a fun, sweet, sexy and emotional story of two people pushing the boundaries of friendship, and maybe, just maybe falling in love.

Aoife (Ee-fa) and Eoin (Owen) have been friends since childhood, but one night, one conversation will throw their lives in a completely different direction - and I loved it.

Now Eoin, hes' all that and a bag of chips. I adore him (even though that feels a little skeezy since I am old enough to be his mum!)

Aoife is just too cute for words. I just want to give her a big ol' hug.

Their story feels real. The characters, the plot, the emotions were all things that we could have happen to us in our lives. How insecurities can lead us to making bad decisions.

Ruck Me is my first Rebecca Norinne read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be going back to read the first book, and can't wait to see where this series goes in the future.

The Wicked Horse is back - except this time we are in Sin City baby!
 
The Wicked Horse is branching out and this exciting spin off has all the sexiness of the original series.

Walsh is the successful casino owner who has his proclivities that the ladies all want at The Wicked Horse. Jorie Pearce is the one woman he shouldn't want, can't have.

When these to run into each other, hoooeeey do sparks fly!

I like the sort of "forbidden" thing between them - not that anything is really forbidden but you will know what I mean when you read.

Wicked Wish is sexy, sensual, emotional and all kinds of sizzling hot. It's not only Jorie's sexual awakening, it is so much more.

I can't tell you how many times I wanted to slap some sense into Walsh. I wanted to take his man card away from him at times, however then he would do something completely amazing and all would be forgiven.

I love the background of Sin City, the bright light city setting more than souls on fire at The Wicked Horse.

I wonder if I can find me own Walsh when I am there in a few months?

Can't wait to see what happens at The Wicked Horse next.

You had me at hockey!

This is my first Kate Meader read, however it won't be my last.

Now, I am a real sucker for a hockey hottie (that's what she said!) so it was a no brainer to read Irresistible You. Once I picked it up, what it really was was irresistible to me!

Once I started, I couldn't stop reading Harper and Remy's story. Their spark and banter drew me in, their family and friends kept things rolling, and I just needed to know more.

I love the premise of Harper and her sisters now owning a hockey team *singing sisters are doing it for themselves

The story flowed well, there is great character development, lots of emotion - and now I am impatiently waiting for the next book!

Can't wait to see where the story takes us.

Yes! We are back in the Royally world again!

This is Ellie (Olivia from Royally Screwed's sister) and Logan (Nicholas from RS's bodyguard)

First I fell for Nicholas Pembrook, then it was for his brother Henry (yep, keeping it allll in the family!)

But that was because I hadn't yet met Logan St James

Logan is sexy AF, all kinds of swoonworthy and I just want him to be mine. He is like Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard, and broody and standoffish, but ready to swoop in to save his lady.

Sigh... now I want to watch The Bodyguard - again.

Oh how I love these two. I adored Ellie when we first met her, she is only a teenager back then, and should soooo not be on Logan's radar. But she is. And he has pinged her radar big time.

They are so not right for each other, that they are.

I love that we get lots of Nicholas and Olivia, Henry and Sophie, and even Queen Lenora!

This book is full of laughter, fun, sweet and sad and a dose of suspense thrown in for good measure.

I have really enjoyed this series, and now I am impatiently waiting to see what Ms Chase brings us next!

I have my Netflix, and with all the wonderful shows on there, lately I have found myself watching WW2 documentaries, shows about Hitler's career, shows about Nazi Hunters.

I threw myself into this book, not knowing what to expect (well, war stories of course!), however I was intrigued.

Then I was mad and sad - mad at our government and sad for the soldiers they betrayed.

I turned each page thinking "it can't get any worse", however each betrayal hurt my heart a bit more.

It is a very dry read - it told factually, without a lot of emotion tainting the reader's view

In fact, I think this would make a great documentary series

It was great to step away from my norm for a while, but now I think I need to read something light and fluffy again.

I really didn't know what to expect when I picked up Mercy. All I really knew was that I freaking loved the cover.

Now, I haven't read Beast (which is the story about secondary characters in this book) but that did not matter to me at all - in fact i didn't realise Beast was connected at all until after I finished reading.

I adored Becca and Fenix's story. It is dark and gritty - and a lot stalkery - however it is, beneath it all, a beautiful love story.

I just wanted Nix and Becca to make it - there were so many hurdles thrown in their way, I needed them to fight their way to a HEA.

I adore the main secondary characters, Henry and Dick (from Beast). They are the perfect best friends that a woman can have.

Now, I am a fan of tattoos and have plenty of my own, however I am not a fan of face work. This did not, however, stop me from swooning all over Nix. His actions speak so much louder than ink.

Mercy is full of fun and flirting and sexy times, along with darkness and suspense and some not so nice people.

I was intrigued from the first word to the last.

Ms Anastasia has proven the she can write anything and keep me interested. From fun and flirty, to gross-out purile, to dark and dangerous - I will read it all.

Can't wait to see what she brings us next.

I was intrigued by this book and couldn't wait to get my greedy little hands on it - I mean helloooooo it is a JEM book.

I adored Annie, love that she is smart and independent and even though she's in a dry spell, takes the bull by the horns and does something - or someone - about it!

Jack. Well, isn't he all kinds of swoonworthy - even though when things play out, I loved to hate him for a huge chunk of the book! You will find out when you read so I won't go into it and spoil it.

The Forbidden though - I guess I was expecting something a little more "forbidden"? But that is probably just me.

There are great secondary characters whom I would love to see more of in the future - though Annie's best friend - at times she irked me no end and I wanted to slap her!

I really did enjoy The Forbidden. The story flowed, was well paced, and had me run the full gamut of emotions. I couldn't wait to turn each page to see what would happen with out lovelies next.

This book will make you laugh, make you cry, and will turn up the heat!

Can't wait to see what JEM brings us next.

It's been a while since we have been in "temptationland", however as soon as I picked up Commitment to read, it was like I had never left.

KM Golland really has a way with words, and I was expecting her flair for fun and flirtatious stories to come to the fore with Commitment.

It did that, however Commitment is so much more.

Tash and Dean's marriage is well past the honeymoon stage, it is long work hours, kids, housework. They are in a bit of a rut, however those wedding vows are still important. They just need to find their way back to each other.

Their story is beautiful, emotional and poignant. It will make the reader look at their own relationships in a different way.

I adore both Tash and Dean - there is no bad guy in this story, just time and circumstance has brought our lovelies to where they are today.

I LOVED getting my Brylexis fix! Still love them as much as I did when I first read them. And get them in a room with DIK and Carly and this girl was in temptation heaven!

There are plenty of laugh out loud moments, especially with Tash and Lexi - those two are my #FriendshipGoals

Commitment was a book that I couldn't put down, and I already want to go back and read it again.

This is my first ever Susan Mallery read - yes, I can hear your gasps of shock! Heck, B has been trying to get me to read her for years!

Welcome to the town of Happily Inc and it's motley crew of residents! There is a lot of background and introductions in this first book in this series, but it is well worth it!

There are a LOT of weddings in this book, however I loved that they are not the run of the mill I Dos.

And there are plenty non-run-of-the-mill characters too. I adore Pallas and all her insecurities. Add Nick to the equation, and things start to get a little steamy!

Add in the fact that both our lovelies have commitment issues, well you just know that they are going to take us on a ride to find their HEA.

There are great secondary characters, whom I am looking forward to getting to know better as the series continues.

Light, fun , sweet and adorable, You Say It First is a great way to spend a few hours.

I think this was my ffs avourite of the whole series.

After Everly's antics in Right (surely that girl should have been arrested or institutionalised) Chloe's brand od naivety was a breath of fresh air.

Her and Boyd's story is cute and sexy and lovely and all things perfect for them
