Gah!

Every since I met the sexy ginger ninja in Wait With Me, I have been impatiently waiting for Next In Line (or as I have nicknamed it, Bait With Me) and Sam's story.

I was curious as to who would be the lucky lady that got to take down Sam. And what a surprise Maggie turned out to be.

I can't lie, so many times I wanted to slap Maggie with a wet fish.

She has the sexy Sam in front of her, but she she was all about her douchey ex who dumped her. Gah. I was like dude, if you don't want Sam, throw him my way! But this could just be me.

I did adore her sassy mouth though - and it seems Sam does too, in many ways ;)

Also, she was telling fibs to Miles, and we all know how Miles feels about lies. I wanted him to go off a whole lot more for that alone.

I adored Sam and Maggie's little adventures, especially their big adventure of falling for each other.

Kate is such a little trouble maker (in fun ways, not bad ways). It was great seeing her back in the Tire Depot.

Sam is just everything. Loves his family, his friends, his job. Kinda the full package right there in one man. I think I need to go put some holes in my tyres and find my own Sam.

I know I have just finished this book, however I am tapping my foot, already waiting for more.

Don't keep me waiting Ms Daws!

Copy received from author for an honest review.

This is a box of tissues and bottle of vodka read.

Wow - what an amazing debut novel from Nivia Borell.

I was not sure what to expect when I started this book, and I definitely did not expect to be reading through tears right from the start.

Bria and Damien's story is told in both the past and present, and had me laughing and smiling as well as having leaky eyes.

I don't want to give too much away about this story, as you really do need to dive in blind and completely immerse yourself in it.

My heart hurts for Bria from the very first word to the last. Sure, I felt for Damien (though sometimes not all good feelings), however Bria shattered me.

There were characters that I wanted to throat punch, though I didn't get to see it happen in this book. However we are set up for the next two books in the series, and I hope I get to see it happen in them.

Beautiful, tender, heartbreaking and emotionally exhausting, Shattered Love is an amazing debut.

I can't wait to see where the story takes us next.

I adored reading Love at Last and Finding My Girl is a short, sweet companion.

It is pretty much an A-Ha, Take on Me graphic novel telling of Talia and Derek's story from Derek's POV, hitting up the most important parts of Love At Last.

The drawings are beautiful, and it made me want to go back and read Love At Last all over again.

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

I enjoy Katy Evans stories, however this is the first that I have listened too, not read.

I enjoyed the story - though I want to know, how come when I was Terminaled in O'Hare last year for hooourrs no hot movie star came to sit with me?

I enjoyed the banter between Noah and Rebecca, and slowly feel in love right along with them.

These are both new narrators to my hears, and whilst for the most part I did enjoy them and their telling of the story, there was just one thing that irked me. When Ms Ezza was narrating as Noah, she sounds like Jane from Daria, and at times it made it hard for me to stay with her.

Other than that, an enjoyable story

I was intrigued by the blurb of this book, and it has been a while since we have had a Kindle Alexander release, so I knew I had to read it.

Havoc really is a story of opposites attract, it's Sons on Anarchy meets Law and Order as our lovelies, biker Keyes and lawyer Alec find each other.

As much as they are different, they are the same. Both are trying to please their families (though for Keyes, you might not really thing pleasing). You could feel their attraction to each other leap of the pages, and you could also feel their frustrations - both sexual an non-sexual.

I couldn't help but adore our lovelies as they fight their attraction, fight their families, fight for what they really want.

I don't want to give anything away, as this story is one you need to go in a little bit blind to experience all it's goodness.

Just as things were starting to come sweet, we came to the end of this story, and now I am impatiently waiting for book 2.

Please don't leave me hanging too long!

It has been a while since I have read a Vanessa Fewings novel, however I know was going to be reading a wonderful story.

Oh, how my heart hurt for Raquel. Betrayal after betrayal has left her teetering the edge, and you are just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Astor - well, he could have come across as a complete ar$e, but he didn't do that for me. Sure, he is arrogant, however right from the start I was able to see through that to the man.

Ms Fewings has woven an elegant tale that had me enthralled from the first word to the last.

There are a couple of secondary characters that OMG, I just wanted to throat punch them - you will know who they are when you read!

This is sort of an enemies to lovers story, but not really that either. It is hard to explain without giving too much away.

I really did enjoy Perfume Girl and the sensual story it tells.

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

What a delightful book is The Accidental Beauty Queen. After reading a few darker books recently, this was exactly what I needed in my life.

It is a little bit Miss Congeniality mixed with The Parent Trap, twins switching places and the like.

Charlotte and Ginny are identical in looks, complete opposites in personalities.

At times, Ginny did annoy me with her self centredness, however as the story progressed, I liked how she changed, and how her actions also caused Charlotte to change.

What I also really liked is that even though they are all pageant queens, there was no bitchy mean girls. There wasn't a queen that I didn't like in this one.

Light, romantic, fluffy - The Accidental Beauty Queen made me laugh and smile.

I can't wait to see what Ms Wilson brings us next. In the mean time, I am off to watch Miss Congeniality - again!

Tara Leigh, you had me at rock star!

This book may contain triggers for some readers. The #MeToo movement is featured quite heavily in this story.

I have fallen for each and every one of the both boys from Nothing But Trouble, however as much as I adored Dax in Rock Rebel, our leading lady Verity is the one that captured my heart this time.

This story quickly became my favourite of the series... so far?

Dax and NBT are at the peak of their careers, Verity is on the come back trail. So completely different, yet so right for each other.

The Rock God and the Pop Princess could be just what they are each looking for.

I love the banter and the snark between our lovelies - neither of them is ready for more than a FWB arrangements, however their hearts want what their hearts want, and they will fight it tooth and nail until they can't fight anymore.

My heart hurt for Verity so much. Those who are supposed to love her and want the best for her just don't. I wanted to throat punch a few characters so, so much.

Beautifully written, the story flowed and I found myself not wanting this story to end.

Now I neeeeeeeed Jett's story in my life.

Thank you St Martin's Press for the super early copy of The Girl He Used To Know.

What a beautiful, heartbreaking second chance romance is this story.

Jonathan an Annika (sounds like Monica without the M) and their story was just wonderful. I fell hard for them as I was reading. Annika was some kind of extra special to me. I love all her quirks and her social akwardness..

Jonathon is all kinds of swoonworthy. I love how he sees Annika, not her quirks.

Word to the wise though - don't be reading this story in public. I was reading the last quarter of this book during my lunch break today, and I was a sobbing mess. Lucky for me I was in the office by myself today and nobody saw my breakdown!

Beautiful, poignant and touching. I didn't want The Girl He Used To Know to end.

Awww, this story is cute and sweet and just a tad awkward - but 1000% adorable.

Miles and Aiden's story is just all sorts of lusty and wonderful. You could feel the pull between them (not that kind of pull - at least not at first!) right from their meet cute, and you can't help but need them to be together.

My heart hurt for Miles as things pan out, however I knew that Brooke and Ella would make it alright for me - I mean, it is a Christmas book and Santa can make everything right!

I loved Miles' family so much - even when I didn't particularly like them.

And Holly - I need more of Holly! Please make this happen ladies!

I love Christmas, I love Christmas stories, and I love anything this due writes.

I can't wait to see what they bring us next.
