I wasn't sure what to expect when Ms McKellar reached out to me to read Honest Love, and I am glad that I went in blind.

My heart ached for our main man Cameron right from the start. Love and lost play a huge part in his life, and just when we think we know about him, guess again.

I love the journey he is now taking, can't help but fall in love with him and the people in his life - which has been completely thrown upside down.

Just when you think things are going to start going right for him, when you think he could fall in love again, we are thrown a complete curve ball that will have you second guessing what has happened to date.

I don't want to say to much and give anything away, as this is a story you just need to immerse yourself in. Beautifully written, heartbreaking yet wonderfully gripping storyline. I adored it.

Yes, we are left on a cliffy, but it is not long until the second part of the duet comes our way.

I can't wait to see where Ms McKellar takes us next.

This is a book that I didn't know I needed.

I was completely happy with the way Jesse Ward had trampled through my life and how the 3rd book ended.

However I had to read With This Man, just to find out where the Lord Of The Manor was today.

What a ride we were taken on with Jesse, Ava and their twins. It was heartbreaking, hopeful, funny, sweet, sexy.

It was wonderful to get more of Sam, John and Drew also.

I loved how Jesse, older and (maybe, maybe not) wiser is still trampling Ava and now his kids. I love how they don't take his crap, I love how they fight back (just like their mother!).

I am not usually a fan of extra books thrown on to the end of a series, however With This Man is a wonderful exception.

So grab your jar of peanut butter and a comfy chair and dive right in.

Logan and Tate are my guys - I wouldn't care if the entire book was L&T reading the phone book, I would adore it.

True was no exception. It follows on right from the bombshell that ended Tate - you know what I am talking about if you are up to date with this series.

I completely and utterly adore my boys in True. Their relationship is wonderful, the love between them absolutely leaps off the page. They are fun and flirty, and oh so sexy as heck.

I love that there is no drama for dramas sake. My guys have been through all that, and this now is just the icing on the cake as they move towards their til death they do part.

What really gripped me around the heart were the scenes with Logan and Cole. Oh my swoon!

And don't get me started on Tate's dad Will!

I really wanted to read True slowly, devouring each and every word, delayed gratification and all that. But I couldn't . I needed to turn each page, needed to know where my guys were at.

But that's OK too, Christmas is around the corner and I have a couple of week off work where I can reread.

It is always bittersweet when a favourite series comes to an end. I am over the moon happy with where Logan and Tate ended, but I don't want to let them go.

Fingers x they will make frequent appearances in the new series which features my favourite bar boy, Robbie

So for now it is time for our lovelies to say goodbye - hopefully not forever!

It seems like forever that I have been waiting for Wedlocked - I know it hasn't but I have been itching to read our lovelies story since I finished Locked.

Wedlocked is the perfect ending to Ace and Dylan's love story. From the first moment to the last we had lots of loved up moments, funny moments, and just plain adorable moments.

It's not all plain sailing for the boys, but there is no OTT drama either.

Add in that we got all the lovelies from Brooke and Ella's series - I freaking adore Logan and Tate! - and what is there not to love?

Gah, I just don't know how to do this book justice with my words!

So here it is. I loved it. Buy it. Read it!

Now I can't wait to see what the Dynamic Duo brings us next.

Until then, Ace and Dylan send their love.

63% and I am all

I have been impatiently awaiting the arrival of Locked on my Kindle.

And it was worth every single agonising second of the wait.

I was on tenterhooks as I open the first page of Locked, hoping, praying to the universe that what happened at the end of Aced didn't really happen.

But when it did, I was anxious for how things would play out, not just with our boys but with the media and celebrity obsessed public.

There were so many awwwww moments, so many happy moments, so many sad moments, so many moments where I was angry and frustrated at the world we live in and what the boys had to deal with.
But what I LOVED about this book? Both Dylan and Ace acted like adults. No childish arguments, none of those misunderstandings due to not communicating. They talked shit out, they stuck by each other and every day their relationship got stronger.

Thank you Ella and Brooke for not creating non-existent drama around them.

Sure, there was no immediate riding off into the Sunset (or to Sunset Cove!) and they had professional and personal crap they had to overcome. But you will not be disappointed in where things go.

And even better news was finding out there would be another books - *arms flailing, screaming like a little girl**

And now I start the daily stalking to find out when we will get more of them (even though it won't be until 2017 boooooo)

So until then, Ace and Dylan say hi

Logan and Tate are my guys - I wouldn't care if the entire book was L&T reading the phone book, I would adore it.

Now, if you are up to date with the series, you will remember the bombshell that Logan dropped on us right at the end of Tease.

Tate carries on right where that bombshell was dropped.

There is so much going on for our lovelies, but so much I cannot say as I don't want to spoil things for anyone.

But I have to say, you are going to love where the story takes them.

It is sweet, it is funny, it is emotional, and it is quintessentially Logan and Tate.

I loved getting more of Cole and Rachel, and there is something going on with Robbie that I really, really need to know about!

Sigh, why did this book have to end?? I can't wait for the final book to come.

So for now it is time for our lovelies to say goodbye - but not forever.

I have been impatiently waiting for Hooker since the second I finished reading Licked.

And it was worth every excruciatingly slow second!

Shayne is a woman after my own heart. A little bit klutzy, rambles when she gets nervous, and OMG her inner monologue had me in stitches from the beginning! She is my Aussie sister from another mister!

"Whoever said singles were missing out by not finding true love and getting married before the age of thirty had never experienced the sheer pleasure of nightly romantic comedy viewings in their underwear while eating one of Licked's famous Crazy Cat Lady sundaes. Because life just doesn't get better than that."

And then there is Nate Ryan - le sigh. From the second we meet him pantsless on the subway, he was in my heart.



Shayne and Ryan's story is quirky, funny, sexy. I laughed out loud so many times. I just loved everything about this book.

I adored that we got more of Hunter and Ryleigh and the other girls from Licked. Though not so adoring of Shayne's boss Val. She was a cow in the first book, and let's just say she is still moo-ing in Hooker!

I couldn't help but fall in love with Shayne and Nate, and now I am impatiently (again) waiting for the next book, P.I.T.A.

Please don't make me wait too long Ms Blaine!

Bright light city gonna set their souls, gonna set their souls (or other body parts) on fire! This story goes against the old adage what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!

P.IT.A is definitely my favourite in the LA Liaisons series

We got a bit of a peek at Paige Iris Traynor-Ashton (PITA) and Dirty Dick Dawson in the previous books, but wow it really was just a tasty little snippet.

Paige and Richard have history - not all of it great - and they have spent the last decade sniping at each other. They are funny, snarky, insulting - and you just know that fighting is their foreplay.

And boy oh boy, when they aren't fighting each other **fanning myself*

It's not all fun and games with them, and there is some really crappy stuff that happens - but you just know that they will fight their way out of it.

Dirty Dick is just swoonworthy at times. I might kinda sorta want one of my own!!

I want to be a part of this group. I need to be friends with these awesome ladies.

P.I.T.A had everything I want in a rom com, and I devoured this book.

I need Quinn's book. Please don't keep me waiting too long Ms Blaine!

I have had Autoboyography sitting on my kindle since forever, but it took my friend raving about it the other day to make me move it up my reading list.

Why, oh why did I wait??

Now, I am an athiest and usually anything to do with church/religion is a hard limit for me with my reading, however I couldn't stop reading Tanner and Sebastian's story. And I put that all down to Christina Lauren.

Beautiful, heartbreaking, frustrating - Autoboyography had a bit of it all. I wonderful story of love, friendship, faith (ugh , there it is, so much church stuff, but it is such a big part of Sebastian's life I can't not mention it). I hate hate hate that his faith gets in the way of his heart, and I hate hate hate that he lets it - but this is probably just my gripe!

All this might make you think that I don't like the book, but on the contrary, that I stuck through it all when I usually wouldn't means that I loved it.

Loved the writing, loved the storyline, loved the characters.

I don't usually re read books (so many books, so little time right?) however this one will be going right onto my read-again list.

 

Sweet, funny and adorable second chance, coming home romance.

I adored Cally and Garrett finding their way back to each other, completely got the small town vibe (where I live you sneeze and someone 3 street over knows about it in 2 minutes!!)

Zachary Webber and Andi Arndt are becoming some of my favourite narrators, and they did a really good job with Getting Schooled. I felt the often raw emotions through their narration.

I laughed, I cried, I adored this book.

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