I have adored the Kennedy Fox/Cumberland-Parish collaborations I have read to date (ie, all of them), and now they duo have "come out" of the writing closet, nothing has changed.

My Week With The Bad Boy is cute and sweet and sexy, with a dose of sadness and frustration thrown in for good measure.

I adored Vada - she made me wonder if this was the process that our lovely writers go through as they push their writing deadlines. Did they rent out a cottage from a hottie artist for inspiration/

I am sure sure what I was expecting - maybe with this title of this book, I was expecting something a little different? I don't mean this in a bad way, I think I was just not expecting something so emotional? There was some darkness and sadness in this story that I guess I wasn't expecting? Gah, who knows what I mean ( I am pretty certain I don't get where I am coming from!)

My Week With The Bad Boy is all that and a bag of chips. I laughed, I cried, I threw my kindle in frustration.

Ignore my ramblings (I don't think I am quite over my jetlag just yet). Pick up this book and read it, you won't be disappointed.

Waaaah! This book is so freaking good!


I adored Amalie (Amie) in Shacking Up, and especially in the novella in the halloween novella that we got in the Eye Candy anthology).


But now? Now I love her so much!


In the earlier books, she is engaged to Armstrong, and we all think that he is nothing but a d!ck with no balls. Now we know that is true!


Do you remember Lex? He is Bane's brother and all kinds of good!


I might kinda be a little bit in love with him (ok, so I lie, I am a lot in love with him!) He is everything and more that a girl could ever want.


I did get frustrated at times with Amie - I wanted to knock some sense into her with my Kindle (damn girl, you need to wake up!!). I could understand why, but with everything that had happened, I just wanted her to give the big middle finger to everyone and be herself - maybe that is more my issue than hers though.

Hooking Up has a bit of everything. Of course there is some hooking up and sexy times (oooheeeee the sexy times!) however there is plenty of laughs and tears and some drama thrown in too.

Do yourself a big favour - buy and read Hooking Up. Right now. Do it.

Why are you still reading this and not the book?

This is the 4th book in the Harmony Harbor series, and you really should read the previous books, or you will be pretty lost with the who's and the what's of this town.

Aidan Gallagher's story is the one I have been waiting for in this series. He's been all kinds of gruff and grumpy in the previous books, and I wanted him to get his HEA.

Julia Landon is the town's Christmas spirit. She is the good fairy that wants to make everyone's life perfect.

Ugh, so me she was just a little too perky and perfect, and at times it made me want to shake her up!

I kinda did want Aidan and Julia to get together, but then at times, I just didn't feel them. Can't quite put my finger on what it was, but I did flip-flop between wanting them together and not.

And don't get me wrong, I do love a slow burn in my romance - but a sloth swimming through treacle would have been quicker than these two! I think that may be why I erred about them? And why I nearly tapped out on their story.

I pushed through, and I am glad that I did, as I was happy with the arc the story took and where our lovelies ended up. Secrets revealed, mysteries solved. So much happening.

Sugarplum Way is a great way to get into the Christmas spirit (and I am sure we all know someone like Julia!)

Can't wait to see what Ms Mason brings us next

This book! I can't say how much I adore it.

Whether you are feeling blue or want or need a smile, you need to look at this book.

One of my favourite websites for the past few years has been upsidedowndogs.com , and now I don't need to hit the net for that pick me up, I just pick up this book.

The dogs are adorable, the photography is beautiful and I just can't stop flicking through the pages.

Thank you Hachette for this gorgeous book.

Gah, what was not to love about this book. Sexy neighbour? Check! Adorable girl next door? Check. Adventure cat? Check!

We have met Patrick and Mia in the earlier books, and now we get their story, and it is adorable, cute, sexy, flirty and fun.

There are not many female authors that I like their male POV stories, however Ms Blakely is one that I always like.

Not going to lie though - the scene stealer in this story is Zeus, a hiking, adventure loving, Instagram star cat. I am soooo not a cat person at all, but Zeus is one I think I could take to!


I loved being taking on Mia and Patrick's story as he fights to convince Mia that he's her one <3

Can he do it? For you that you need read for yourself! Go, buy it, read it, love it!

Law and order meets MC madness in this second installment of the Conflict of Interest series.

We met Jaxon Bentley in the first book in the series, Breaching the Contract, but now we have him in all his heartbreaking, beautiful goodness.

And when he meets alleged murdered Scarlett, well things take a turn for the better in his life.

Whooo, the sexual tension between them if off the charts, and you can just feel the push/pull between them. Even though they are lawyer and client, you just need them to get together.

I won't lie though, I did have trouble connecting with Scarlett. I just didn't really get over the coldness of her character that we met at the beginning of the story. But that could just be me.

There are not enough words to explain my excitement when the Wind Dragons MC entered the story. I have missed them since their story ended, and it was great to get a few little glimpses into the club.

I really enjoyed Seducing The Defendant. I read it in one night, and now am impatient for what Ms Fernando brings us next.

Ilsa Madden-Mills ~ you had me at rock star.

I was not sure what to expect with Spider, but whatever expectations I did kind of have you blew them out of the water.

Neither Rose nor Spider's lives have been easy, and really, the are perfect for each other. But of course we know that it is not going to be all hearts and flowers with this pair.

And boy oh boy, were the emotions flowing as I read (I know, I can get really sappy sometimes when I am reading, but this one kinda crushed me).

I wanted to love Spider all the time, but he frustrated me so much at times that I wanted to throw my Kindle at his head. However then he would do something amazing - again - and my heart would flip right back to loving him.

Rose, well freaking adore her from the first minute to the last. She is strong and feisty and vulnerable all wrapped up in one amazing young woman.

There is plenty of tension and build up in their friendship, and you just know that things are going to full of fireworks.

I laughed, I cried, I screamed at my Kindle, all the while anxiously turning the page to find out what happens next.

Can't wait to see what Ms Mills brings us next.

I have had the paperback on my bookshelf for years, but never had time to read it. Good thing I got into audiobooks earlier this year.

Susannah Jones is becoming on of my favourite narrators.

She brought Ally, Ren, the Rock Chicks and the Hot Bunch to life.

I am not going to lie, Ally did annoy me quite a bit at the beginning of the story, however she came around as the story progressed.

I laughed at the antics of this motley crew of characters, you can't help but laugh out loud at what they get up to.

I really did enjoy this audiobook.

I love delving into the Starkiverse, and it feels like forever since I have been there.

And diving in there with Noah and Kiki was amazing, it was beautiful, it was heartbreaking.

She was the one that got away. The one who he broke. The one he always loved. Sigh.

I am a big fan of a second chance romance, and when it is done as wonderfully as Wicked Fortune, I don't want it to end.

I wanted to slap some sense into Noah at times, and my heart broke for Kiki as the story unfolded. However I was their biggest cheerleaders, as I needed them to find their way to their HEA.

Wicked Torture quickly became a favourite J Kenner book, and I am impatiently waiting to see what she brings us next.

This book! I mean, this book!

Right from the prologue I was a mess. Don't get me wrong, it is emotional, but it is so, so much more than that.

it is a beautiful, heartbreaking story about lost, but also about the love that comes from that loss.

Aiden, Everett and Cameron (female) have been friends since forever, and as with all friendships, things fall apart, people drift apart, things go unsaid.

Ugh, the unsaid! People, it is called communication, use it sometimes lol

There is so much that goes unsaid, so much hurt and anguish and love and hate and allll the feels.

I LOVE that this is a slow burn. And by slow, I do mean sloooow. However it is what this story needed. It is what our lovelies needed.

There is so much that I loved about this story, however I don't want to give anything away so I can't say too much.

Other than I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

Read it. You'll love it too.
