Welp, this book was not what I was expecting. And I am not saying that in a bad way. I am saying that in an "OMG this book is so much more than I was expecting" way.

I was expecting a sweet and fun book about a dog called Atticus. And whilst I got that, I got so much more.

Told in dual POV - Atticus the dog's POV, and his owner Hazel's POV.

What we are given is so,so much more. It is a tail - yeah, I didn't misspell that - of unconditional love, of finding our way when all hope is lost, friendship and family.

I love, love, love the story from Atticus' POV. I know we think that dog's can't understand us, but gosh I wish they are thinking like him. Though I know when it comes to food, they are allll thinking like him.

Another thing I wasn't expecting was all the emotions. Oh god, the feels! I spent plenty of time reading Atticus through tears - I didn't sign up for that Miss Bennett!

Another thing this book has done has made me miss my Rani girl a lot this week. She crossed the rainbow bridge last year and it has made me think about her a lot.

Full of funny, sad, heartwarming, loving moments, run out and buy a copy of Atticus - you won't be disappointed.

Oh, and make sure you follow real life Atticus on Instagram @atticuscrazydog.

I knew there was something I liked about Fiona and Greg, and this prequel to their story just confirmed it - big time.

Greg is all kinds of swoonworthy, I mean this guy doesn't give up does he?

Smart, sexy, that accent. I loved his persistence.

Fiona - I love her as an adult, and adored her a college student. And now reading their full length story, I love what she has become.

Sweet, sexy, tender -this novella is the perfect lead in to Happily Ever Ninja.

If you have read the Dirty Duet, you think you know all about Weston and Elizabeth. This new duet will have you thinking about it all again.

Their story is hot and sexy, fighting really is foreplay with this pair - and they do like the foreplay!

I love the bite and snark between them. You can feel the sexual tension jump right off the page, and boy, I am still fanning myself a day after reading!

And don't... jus't don't get me started on that ending - and the wait till November to find out what happens next.

Seriously, is it November yet?

After the way the first book, Even Money ended, I knew we were going to be in for one heck of a bumpy ride with Double Down.

And Ms Torre did not disappoint me.

Holy crapballs, this book had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading. The conclustion to Dario and Bell's story had me anxious, had me sad, had me mad. For every character I loved, there were two I hated.

I anxiously turned each page, needing to know our lovelies were alright, that they were fighting for each other, that they would make it to their happy ending.

Full of action and suspense, Double Down was a great conclusion to our lovelies story - plenty of twists and turns. Though half the time I wanted to throw my kindle or reach into my kindle and punch somebody!

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

This is the final book in the Sons of Broad, however when I requested this book I wasn't aware that this was book 3, so you will need to read the other books first, as I felt that I was missing a lot - and that is nobody's fault but my own.

I enjoyed the writing, the story flowed and was very action packed. I adored the relationship between the brothers (again though, I know I was missing so much) and love their commitment t0 family.

For me though, I just didn't feel the romantic connection between Alyssa and Kipling. Sure I felt friendship and love of sorts, but I didn't get the romantic thing - well, except for the lust. However this is probably just me.

I know this makes it sound that I didn't like this book, however that is not the case. I know that if I had read the previous 2 books and their noveallas I would have felt different about this book.

Don't make my mistake and not read the earlier books, and I am sure you will love it. I will be going back and reading the earlier entries in the series and will come back and reread this one again later, and am sure I will enjoy it more.

Again, nothing wrong with the writing or anything, this is all on me.

I adore the Braden/Montgomery's and all around them, and Anything For Love is no exception.

Sigh, my heart hurt for both Charlotte and Beau in this story, however as their story progressed, you could feel that hurt healing for both of them. Their mutual admiration for each other, the way they heal each other had me smiling.

There was plenty of sad moments as we learn their back stories, however there were plenty of laugh out loud, sweet and tender moments as well.

I adore how they both draw the other out of their self-imposed shells, and how their family and friends can see it before they even do.

There is plenty of sexual tension between them, and oh my the sexy times are hot!

I know I have missed some of the books in this series, however this did not affect my enjoyment of this story - in fact it has made me more impatient to go back and read the ones I have missed.

Ms Foster writes loveable, believable characters and storylines, and I can't wait to read more.

Yes, another book in the For Hire series (we have already had a Billionaire For Hire), and this brings the GAPS series and For Hire series closer together.

It is amazing what clicking on the wrong google link can do for a girl! I kinda want her luck!

I adore Chelsea and her hot, mysterious Brit, Tristan. I like how yeah, she's fallen into this world she is in, but she is not stupid to know how good it is. She is smart and sexy, and she feels completely real.

And just as I was getting right into things... bam, we were cilffhangered! But that doesn't really bother me, it just makes the anticipation of where Chelsea's story go all the more intriguing.

Please don't make me wait too long Ms Johnson.

Guess who's back, back again? Hudson's back! Tell a friend!

Woot, more Hudson Pierce in my life? Gimme gimme gimme!

I won't lie, I had kinda forgotten a lot of what happens in the previous books, but it didn't take me long to get back into Hudson-world, and found myself falling for him all over again.

Hudson and Alayna have been together for a while now, and just when you think that everything bad that has happened to our lovelies has gone away - BAM - it's on again.

Sexy, suspenseful, intriguing, our lovelies are in for another bumpy ride - and I for one couldn't put the book down once I started it. I was (mataphorically) biting my nails, needing to know who was after our lovelies!

I laughed out loud, my heart ached, I threw my kindle to the side in frustration. But most of all I loved. I loved Hudson and Alayna and the mini Pierces. Loved seeing more of Gwen and JC. And of course more of Chandler.

I am going to miss this series, but I can't wait to see what Ms Paige brings us next.

I listened to the audio of Part-Time Lover and thoroughly enjoyed it.

If you have read Wanderlust, you have already met our protaganists Elyse and Christian - I had forgotten our first sighting of Christian until I was listening, and it made me laugh all over again.

I adored this kinda-second-chance-friend-to-fake-lovers-to-more story.

Christian is some kind of man. I mean, he is a man's man and very confident in himself (as you will see when you meet him). Sexy. Studly. Adorable. Flirty. But he is so much more than that too.

The narrators really brought the characters to life. I have not listened to a Shane East narration before, however I will make sure to do so in the future.

Fun, flirty and sexy, I was swept away with this story.

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