Yes! It feels like forever since I have read a Josephine Traynor story, and I couldn't wait to dive into Off-Screen.

There is a fine line between love and hate, and our lovelies Harrison and Riley are toe to toe on that line, hurling verbal grenades at each other.

I was utterly addicted to their story from the second I opened my kindle to the very last word. I laughed, I cried, I yelled at my kindle, I threw my kindle aside as I threw a hissy fit at the way Harrison was treating Riley -though she give as good as she got a lot of the time.

I couldn't help but love them both as they worked their way through their issues, and maybe, just maybe they can have something real off screen? But to find out that you need to read for yourself.

There are great secondary characters whom I am hoping we get more of - hint hint Ms Traynor!

I sat and read Off-Screen in one afternoon, and now I am left wanting more.

Please give us more. Please don't make me wait for ever!

Tara Leigh, you had me at rock star!

I am as big rock star book groupie, and couldn't get enough of Rock King, so diving in to Rock Legend was not rocket science.

In fact, I think I liked Rock Legend more than Rock King.

Landon and Piper's story is full of their history, their heartache, their regrets. All whilst trying to maybe/maybe not get back together.

Ugh, Landon is such a manwhorish douche at times, but you can feel his love for Piper fall off the page. I still wanted to slap him with my Kindle a lot of the time, however I couldn't help but adore him and all his issues.

Piper - girl, you rocked this thing. Don't you let him right back in there. Make him fight for you!

This book had two of my favourite things - rock stars and a second chance romance. Once I picked it up I couldn't stop reading it. I adored seeing more of Shane and Delaney and where they are at now.

Now I am impatiently waiting to see which Nothing But Trouble guy gets their story next.

Oh. My. Knuckles!

I adored you as Erin's "best friend" in Ace of Hearts, but now I have a full blown crush on you!

And if you have read the first book, you will remember Celina, Erin's cousin? She's older than Erin, but in some ways she feels younger.

And when the biker and the journo meet - well, things don't go the way either of them expect, but boy is is better than anything either wanted.

A journalist and a biker together -yeah, you can see the conflict between them coming a mile away, however it was not what I expected it was going to be.

A single dad, Knuckles really is all kinds of swoonworthy when he is with his girls. I mean... le sigh. You need to look past the kutte and the rumours about bikers to get to the real man.

I love the push/pull between Celina and Knuckles- well, him pushing for more, and Celina pulling away lol. There is such a spark between them that you can't help but want them to get more.

Was great to get more of the Cursed Ravens MC, loved seeing where Erin and Ace were at in their relationship, and I neeeeeed to know more about Rogue/

ASAP.

Can't wait for Going Rogue - even though it is only a few weeks away, it is too far away!

Gimme gimme gimme!

Ballet, mafia - so many books I have read where these two worlds are entwined (though I will admit it is usaually Russian ballerinas and the Bratva that I have come across) so it was different to have the US mob this time.

Cat and Lorenzo's story to me was, how should I say, a little lost? I don't know how else to describe it. Neither of them had any real goal for their future, no plan for what they were doing - but this could just be me?

It did get better about halfway through the book, and things did start to make sense. I was a bit confuzzled the first half of the book about what it wanted to be - did it want to be a mafia book? A dance book? A romance book? There were so many characters introduced that it took a while to get my head around who they were and what they wanted.

Lorenzo though, he was what kept me ploughing through - even though he also confused me at times.

Ugh, it makes it sound like I didn't like this book at all, but that's not how it is. I did enjoy it, there were just a big confuzzled (like my brain!)

I know with so many characters there must be some set up for more books about these people, and I know I will read them in the future.

I adored Barrett in Running Mate (and still do in this one), however I freaking LOVE Thorn in Office Mate.

Isabel and Thorn's story is one fueled by lust, hate and sooo much sexual tension you can cut it with a knife.

They don't meet in the best of circumstances, so along with all the UST there is so much resentment between them that at times you couldn't be sure if the would kiss or kill each other!

Isabel gets her revenge on Thorn in laugh out loud ways, and even as you know they are wrong, you can't help but fist pump when they happen.

It is wonderful journey as hate turns to friendship and who knows, maybe much much more.

It was great to get a little glimpse of Barrett and Addison and where they are at now.

Sweet, tender, funny and drama/angst free, Ms Ashley has given us a lovely story that I read in one afternoon.

I can't wait to see what she brings us next.

If you have read Double Vision, you have met our lovelies, however if you are like me, you have forgotten all about them! But never fear, Perfect Vision can be read as a complete stand alone.

I was blown away by Perfect Vision. From the minute I started reading, I was hooked and could not put it down. I couldn't get enough of London's and Dominic's story.

Their pasts are both gritty, and I loved getting a bit more as the story progressed. They are just what each other needed, without either of them knowing it or wanting it.

There are Dom/Sub/BDSM elements to this story but it is not all the story is. Their story is tense, full of tension and oh my, just when you think you know what is going to happen next.

BAM! Ms Halloran throws in a twist or two!

I think that Perfect Vision may be my favourite L.M Halloran book to date, and now I am impatiently waiting to see what she brings us next.

♫ And these foolish games are tearing me apart.... ♫

I keep having that Jewel song run through my head whenever I think about this book.

If you have read the previous Cartwright brothers books, you have already met our duo - Kristian Cartwright and Veronica.

I feel that each and every book in this series just gets better. I adored Kristian in the previous books, however I couldn't help but freaking love him in Foolish Games.

His and Ronnie's relationship isn't an easy one, but you know those Cartwright boys, they don't let their women go once they find them (even if they want to lol).

There is a great dynamic between Kristian and Ronnie, and as much as I never thought I would say this, I actually kinda sorta liked Jasmine (the matriarch of the Cartwright family) in this book. I know, hell must have frozen over because it is true!!

I laughed, I cried, I screamed at the characters. I wanted to reach into my ereader to slap some of them too.

It was great to catch up with the other Cartwright brothers (note: I am still not a fan of Nate and Holland after book 2!)

I am now impatiently waiting for the next couple. Please don't keep me waiting too long Ms Anderson!

*This book was originally released under the title Concealed Desire.*

Sigh... I am not a big one for covers, but I can't help looking at this one on my kindle.

And what is inside is just as good!

Dean and Beth's kinda-sorta second chance office romance is steamy, sensual and just plain ol' good to read.

There is so much tension between this pair that you can cut it with a knife. They have adored each other across the office for a long time, so you know that things are going to be hot hot hot when they finally figure their stuff out!

What I love love love is that as Aussie author has set her book in Australia - woohoo! But that's probably just my little thing.

So much goes on in this beautiful story. It is hot. It is heartbreaking. It is a little bit of everything. And I am kicking myself for not having read it when it was originally released (and I know that is has been sitting on my kindle all that time).

There is plenty of sexy banter and witty one liners between our lovelies. Dean is alpha but not OTT alpha. Both Beth and Dean do some stupid sh!t at times and I want to slap some sense into them, but I couldn't help but adore them.

I laughed, I cried, I smiled. Office Player had a bit of it all.
