I knew I liked Fiona for a reason! She's badass!

What I really liked about Fiona and Greg's story was that, unlike the couples in the series so far, they have been together for a long time, have been married for a long time. They have completely different problems and issues to the rest of the guys and gals.

I laughed, I cried, I got completely frustrated - particularly by Greg - however I also just wanted to give them a great big hug and tell them it would all be ok.

I loved seeing ninja Fiona come to the fore, her take no prisoners attitude is so completely different to the knitter we know and love.

Sweet, tender, emotional - I just love this book and this series.

Now to start the next book ASAP.

I will say from the beginning - I am not a fan of the scene ( I don't want to say what it is, I think the reader needs to watch this un this couple find themselves in - it just icks me out - othing against the scene or anyone in it, and I don't care if it is m/m, m/f, dog/cat, it just gives me the wiggins - I know, I am weird.

What I will say though is wow, what a wonderful story Ms Ward has given us with Discovery.

Full of so much love, especially of the familial kind. With every book in this series, I just adore this family more and more.

Throughout the previous books I have adored Matteo's awkwardness. At work, around his family. I feel for him when he feels he isn't good enough, love his klutziness.

Levi, well isn't he all kinds of wonderful, and isn't he all kinds of what Matteo needs.

This book, whilst it has it's kink, this one I found more emotional that sexual. Sure, there is the sexual element to the their story, but Discovery is so much more than that. I don't want to give anything away but gah - read this book!

I am really looking forward to the next (and final, boo) book in this series.

Wow, just wow.

That is all I can say about this book. Buy it and read it, that is all!

As with all of Ms Cherry's books, it is an emotional, 2-box-of-tissues read.

With the exception of just a few characthers, I hate hate HATED everyone in this book for most of the book. There were a few exceptions - Grace, Jackson, Judith and Josie - but pretty much everyone else I wanted to jump into the book and throat punch people!

This book brought out such visceral feelings in me - and maybe a few violent tendandies! I could feel my body stiffening with pure hatred of peopl. I threw my kindle to the side at times.

I adored Grace and Jackson, as enemies, as frenemies, as more. I loved how they healed each other without even trying.

I loved it when Grace finally stopped being a doormat to most people, and I let out a whoop of excitement when she told people off. It was worth all the frustration just for that moment!

Beautiful, heartbreakingly sad, emotional, yet full of hope. That is what Disgrace was all about . It has been a couple of days since I finished reading and I can still feel the emotion.

It has been worth every second of the wait for Disgrace, and I can't wait to see what Ms Cherry brings us next.

I have not read any of Ms Carlan's books in the past, however I have heard good things about her so I decided to give her International Guy series a go.

I am still a bit confused what to call these guys. Motivational guys? Makeovers? Mah, whatever they are, I did enjoy IG: Paris.

I liked that our leading lady didn't whimper and simper, she just needed guidance.

I do like Parker, Bo and Royce, though I wish we had gotten more of Bo and Royce - perhaps they are later on in the series

There is instant spark between Parker and Sophie, and things do heat up pretty quickly between them - though I did feel that Parker is pretty unprofessional the way he hits on his clients right away - but maybe this is just me.

IG Paris is a sexy Parisian romp, and I am looking forward to seeing where this series goes next.

Oy, I know what to call these guys now (well especially Parker) - I am beginning to wonder if their "business" is all a front for their gigolo business?

It again is mostly around IG Parker, this time his client is in NYC, and ugh, I didn't like him this time.

I mean, seriously dude, you are cracking a boner in front of, sniffing and kissing your client all within 5 minutes. Just no man, don't!

I liked our leading lady Skyler. I liked her vulnerability. And I freaking adore her best friend/manager Tracey and how she gave lip to Parker - you go lady!

I wish we had more of Bo and Royce in this one. I found Parker really unlikable in this one, and his actions just made me feel ick.

I will be carrying on to the next in this series, hoping we get more of the other guys this time.

ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

Ugh, not more of Parker, Parker, Parker again - though at least this time he isn't hitting on his clients, so I guess that is something.

This time we have a troubled princess as our client, and I felt for her so much.

I felt for her for her familial obligations, I felt for her and her hurting heart. I got frustrated with her at times, however I could understand why she did things she did.

I was glad that even though, again, this was Parker (and I am still not over how I felt about him in book 2) it wasn't so much of him this time.

I did love the he is still in contact with Skyler, though he was a bit douchey with some things there too - but this could just be me :(

After the second book, I wasn't sure that I would be continuing on after the 3rd that I already had, but now I know I will as I need to find out more about Bo and Royce.

3.5 stars

I spy with my little eye... my spy Tristan.

Spy For Hire follows on from Hot Chick For Hire, and you will have need to have read that one to get the full story of Tristan and Chelsea.

This installment of the For Hire series is very Bond. James Bond. Mystery, intrigue and sexy as sin suits had me reading this book in one sitting, needing to know what would happen next.

Got a little bit of a few more of the GAPS guys which I absolutely adored, and makes me want to go back and read all their stories all over again.

Exciting, funny, sweet and sexy, Spy For Hire had a bit of everything. Now I am impatiently waiting for what Ms Johnson brings us next.

Firstly, thank you Lisa Renee Jones for the wonderful, thorough recap of the first book at the beginning of Murder Girl, as I know I had forgotten most of Murder Notes - terrible Bookzheimer's here!

Murder Girl takes up right where Murder Notes ended, and right from the get go we are swept back away in the murder mystery in the Hamptons.

I adore Lilah. There is so much going on around her, she is focused and doesn't take crap from anyone. You can feel the push/pull between herself and Kane, and if you are like me you just need them to get together!

There are so many twists and turns in Murder Girl, you never know which direction you are going to be dragged next. Who could Lilah and I trust, who was after her, why??

There are a lot of things sorted out in this books, however as we come to a close, there are some things opened up to us.

Not sure if there is going to be a 3rd book in the Lilah Love series, or if this is set up for a new series, but I need to know what happens next.

If you have read Accidental Tryst you have already met our leading man Beau - he is Trystan's cousin, remember him?

I adored this story just as much as the first. Whilst the first was more funny, Inconvenient Wife is more emotional.

Soooo much more emotional.

Beau and Gwen's story is a beautiful best-friends-to-more story that had me laughing, had me crying, had my heart hurting along with our lovelies.

I adore Gwen's dad, and surprisingly, I came to really like Beau's grandma, who from all accounts has been a bitter old woman for what seems forever!

Then there are Gwen's friends who are equal parts crazy and and downright amazing and you can't help but love them.

It was also fun to see Trystan's story from the outside.

I sat and read this book in one sitting I enjoyed it so much.

I hope we get more stories from Charleston in the future.

Thank you so much Mo @ The Scarlet Siren for posting as you were listening to this book - I have a new obsession that is the Lords of Avenleigh.

How had I never heard of this book/author?

How have I lived for *mumble mumble* years without knowing this goodness.

I never knew I needed this book until I started it.

Seriously, how can the removing of a glove be one of the hottest things I have ever listened to?

Forget Jack and Rose in the car, a sleigh "ride" seems to be something I need to add to my bucket list.

There are some amazing words used in this book that we need to get into regular conversation.

I need the second book ASAP! Gimme Gimme Gimme!!
