A hero who works in the chocolate industry? Let me at him!

I mean, his name is Leo, I am a Leo, we are meant to be, right?

Alas, Lulu is all that this sweet, adorable man can see :(

I adored Birthday Suit so much. It was full of tender, sweet moments, along with a lot of sad and heartfelt moments.

I am a sucker for a good friends to lovers book, and when you throw in years of unrequited love, well, stick a fork in me, because I am done!

Leo and Lulu's story is not always a happy one, however you just know that they are going to have to find their way to a HEA, they just have to.

I was left with a smile on my dial after reading Birthday Suit, and now I am impatiently awaiting what Ms Blakely brings us next.

Please don't leave me waiting too long!

It has been a while since we have spent some time with the boys of Wild Nights revue - but what a way to jump back in.

I have been waiting for Lucas aka Dimps story since I read the first books. And it was well worth every second of the wait.

Lucas and the boss lady Helena's story was so much fun. It is full of sexiness and suspense and so much sexual tension, you can cut it with a knife. I mean gees, those proximity pheromones leap off the pages!

I loved that this is an older woman/younger man story. We get so many the other way around, or the woman is made out to be a pervy cougar, yet it is not this way with Helena and Dimps.

I love the way the Dimps makes Helena feel. As her story unfolds, you can understand why she resists him for so long, and I love how he keeps trying with her. They have thei stru Sigh... I mean I wish he was all over me like a rash like he is with Helena, but I guess we can't all be that lucky!

It was great being back on the road with the boys - and of course Cori (and her obsession with seeing the "big things" - I may have planned holidays around seeing "big things" in the day - no, NOT those kind of big things lol).

I thoroughly enjoyed Resist, and I know you won't be able to resist it either.

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

I haven't read the previous Sanctuary stories, but that did not affect my enjoyment of Sweet On You.

This is a sweet, sexy online dating/first date story, and I am sure we have all felt like Brea and Derek at times in the dating game.

This was a really fun read - it is often hard in a novella to get enough information in there without feeling rushed, however I did not feel that this was too rushed at all.

I laughed at times, and I couldn't help but want this pair to be together.

I now need to go back and read the earlier Sanctuary stories.

Awww, the Braden's and Montgomery's all meet up in Trails of Love!

What a cute, sweet story. Morgyn and Graham's story is bound to leave you smiling as you can't help but fall in love with them as they fall in love with each other.

Morgyn is the chaos to Graham's control - and they are the perfect balance for each other.

I also have to say.... hellloooo those Jericho brothers!

Both Graham and Morgyn's family's play a big part in this story, and OMG they had my in fits of laughter at times.

We are also get set up for the next in this series, and I can't wait to see where the stories go.

I love love love the Brooklyn Bruisers series, and I was absolutely certain that no on could come close to my love for Nate, though I will now say that Jason Castro gave him a bit of a run for his money in the race for my affections.

Heidi and Jason's love story is just delicious.  It is smart, it is sexy and it is emotional.

Our lovelies have been circling each other, but he's that guy who doesn't do the relationship thing, and she's the girl who is (or at least should be) off limits.

Yet that just makes them all the more attractive to each other.

Gah, I just can't with how much I adored this book.

I am a huge hockey fan, so the more books I get get set in the hockey world, the better I say.

I think that Ms Bowen needs to keep this series going forever and ever - I mean, there are always trades, retirements and players getting called up from the farm teams, right?

I wish I could read Overnight Sensation again for the first time!

I can't wait to see where this series goes next.

"The thing about falling was that it didn't happen the way everyone imagined it. Sometimes it happened slowly, over time, and other times you find yourself sitting there waiting for the other person to catch up."

I adore a frenemies-to-lovers story, and Presley and Nathaniel's story is one that drew me in right from the start.

They fight and bicker and snarl at each other from the very moment they meet, however underneath all that snark you can feel the spark of attraction between them.

But don't expect things to get sexy any time soon. Oh no, our lovelies like to drag things out. It is kind of slow burn with years of underlying sexual tension. They have a love/hate relationship, which leads us to plenty of funny and frustrating times as a read.

This was also quiet an emotional book, particularly the later parts. It came upon me unexpectedly, and I may have shed a tear or two along the way.

I didn't want to put this book down once I started (stupid adulting getting in the way of my reading!). I really enjoyed it, and now am impatiently waiting to see what Ms Contreras brings us next.

I have been a huuuuge fan of Ms Aleo's Assassins series, and she has not disappointed me with this first IceCats book (though in my head I am calling this Assassins: The Next Generation).

We have already had the story of Ryan Justice, and now we have the story of his sister and his best friend.

Oh how I love Amelia and Chandler. Right from the very first time we meet them in Juicy Rebound, I was hooked.

The Justice family is a strong one, however the past few years has seen them fracture. Amelia is so strong, yet has been emotionally broken. My heart hurts for her (and the rest of the Justice family) as they try to find their way back to each other.

Chandler - le sigh. After what he has been through, you can't blame him for being gun shy when it comes to women - well, except for his Amelia.

Their story is one of loving when you don't feel like you are worthy. Not just intimate love, but also familial love.

This book really pulled at my heartstrings, as I went from laughter to tears, sometimes in the space of just a chapter or two.

I did enjoy seeing a little of my first Assassins love, Shea. Oh that man 😍😍😍

This was a fantastic start to this new series, and I am looking forward to where the IceCats take us next.

Woohoo another Vi Keeland novel has hit my kindle! Happy dance!

Helloooooo sexy cover. The book may be called We Shouldn't but those eyes are telling me "hell yeah, we should!"

I love an office story. I love an enemies to lovers story. Combine the two and I am all in.

I adore Bennett and Annalise's story. Yes, it is a cute and sexy romance, but it is also more. It delves in to some deeper issues as well, so it was quite emotional as well.

There was a character that I just couldn't with. I may have wanted to clip them around my ears with my kindle. You will know them when you get to them.

There is just something about a Vi Keeland story that I love. Doesn't matter what the subject matter, I just can't put them down once I start.

Now I am impatiently waiting for what she brings us next.

River Wild started off with a bang, and didn't stop from then on.

River and Carrie/Annie's story is not always an easy one to read. It touches on some dark and painful issues, and I felt that it was done well (not having been through any of the things they have, I can only say how I felt about it). I like stories with broken characters (I can't be the only one a bit sick of the perfect guy meets the perfect girl stories?) and I

Being inside our lovelies heads as they faced the demons of their pasts, it was an emotional journey. I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry, I wanted to throw my kindle at people.

And as much as an ar$e that River could be, I couldn't help but want Carrie and River to get their HEA - it wasn't a light and fluffy journey to get there.

I read this book in one evening, as once I started it I couldn't put it down.
