Wow! Just Wow! I didn't think any of Toni Aleo's men could make me love them more than I love those Assassin boys, but Nico Merryweather just blew them out of the water in Wild Tendy.

He is a wonderful combination of cocky and arrogant, mixed with a vulnerability that makes you fall for him, and fall hard.

I loved the Nico and the lovely Aviva aren't perfect. We read all these stories where the hockey hottie has everything fall at his feet, doesn't have to work for anything and always gets the girl. I love that Nico has flaws that make him so much more relatable.

Aviva, I love how strong she is, how she does anything and everything for her sister, and doesn't give up. Not going to lie, I may have shed a tear or two at times with her story - that was when I wasn't getting frustrated with her for being so darn independent.

Our lovelies were nothing like I was expecting - and I loved it that way.

A beautiful, unique story of falling in love when you think it is never going to happen for you - gives us all a bit of hope.

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

Yay for another Bowen/Eby collaboration! I couldn't wait to get my hands on Mann Cuffed.

What an adorable and cute story. Meg and Mac had me laughing in the first chapter.

However, after that it did take me a while to really settle into this one.

I loved everything about quirky Meg. She was just fabulous. It did take me a while to come around the Mac, more than it usually takes me with a character in this series. I just wanted to shake some sense into him half the time. He does have his moments, but gah he frustrated me so much.

There were some great secondary characters. There were a few that I was sure I wasn't going to like, however this delightful duo wrote it so I couldn't help but like them.

Overall though, this story did fall flat for me. It was sweet and cute, however there was a whole lot of nothing much happening for most of the book, and it really lacked the oomph that the other books in the series have had.

I do look forward to more from Ms Bowen and Ms Eby though.

This is the third installment i the Cocky Suits series, and Wolf/Howell keep on making this series better and better.

This is Dexter's story, and one I have really been looking forward to. It delves deeper into the Collin family and their dramas and woes - at the same time as giving us a swoony brother to fall hard for.

I love Dex and Abigail together - sweet, sexy, hot as sin and all around a great story.

I won't like, I did cry a little bit towards the end of the book, as this duo hit me with all the emotions, right in the feels.

I loved seeing the progression of the earlier brothers relationships, and man oh man I Can. Not. Wait to meet the woman or man who brings Donovan to his knees.

Please don't make me wait too long, Messrs Wolf and Howell!

Cap has been the man whose book I have been waiting for since he first turned up in an earlier book.

This is the guy who would give motherfluffing Thatch a run for his money.

I was wanting Cap to be as hilarious all through the book as he has been in the previous ones - but to me, he was pretty douchey and a proud manwhore to boot - and a bit stalkerish if I do say.

He does get better though, and in the end you can't help but adore him.

I love that Ruby doesn't fall for his crap and straight into his lap. She dishes it out, and doesn't let him get away with things.

I love, love loved the "Book Club" and the people involved. Of course, my love Thatch is in this story, and he still makes me laugh out loud.

The Billionaire Book Club was a little lighter on the "com" part of the rom-com than I was expecting, however it is still an enjoyable book that I will read again in the future.

Now I am impatiently awaiting the next installment.

I have seen these books floating around for ages, and finally picked up to read.

What a fun, flirtatious and enjoyable read.

I will be adding more to my collection soon

I have only read one other Katy Regnery book (I know, I know, you don't need to tell me), however when the opportunity came up to read Single In Sitka, I jumped at the chance.

What a lovely, warm and funny story about finding love again, long distance relationships and all they entail.

Luke and Amanda's journey is not always an easy one, however there is not silly misunderstanding, miscommunications or stupid fights getting in their way. They act like adults and sort things out like adults - such a refreshing thing when so many stories these days have drama for drama's sake.

There are plenty of sexy, steamy moments, however there are plenty of times with raw, gutwrenching emotion that will tug at your heartstrings.

Ms Regnery had me right in Sitka and in Seattle with her writing, such beautiful imagery that I could almost reach out and tough the Puget Sound - sigh.... I want to go back to Seattle so bad.

Single In Sitka is an utterly enjoyable story, and I am looking forward to more of the Odds Are Good series.

I was hooked on She from the minute I started it - I was dragging it to and from work so I could read more each night/each lunch break.


Our man Ben gets himself into all kinds of dramas when his eyes lock with the "lovely" Bella across a crowded bar, and is life is never going to be the same again.

Boy, is Bella a piece of work.  I could feel myself tensing up, as each and ever move of hers began to take force.  I found myself talking to myself as I was reading.  I even yelled out loud at one time saying "oh please don't let me go where I think it is going!"  Note - it did!

Now, I did find myself  skimming most of Part 2 of the story, as it was part one told from the female POV, with a bit more detail throw in to really throw the reader.

Man, oh man, is Bella a psychopath or what!  It was all kinds of Fatal Attraction vibes coming through the story, and I never knew what the crazy b!tch was going to do next!

I loved he secondary characters (well, except for one, and you will find out why when you are reading).  Ben's family and friends are just the cure for the bunny boiler Bella!

I found myself rushing to turn the next page, needing to know how the characters were going to get out of the situation he has found himself.

She covers some darker aspects of life, such as physical and emotional abuse.  It is mostly a suspense filled book with some romance of sorts thrown in for good measure.

Let's just hope we never, ever meet at Bella in real life

If you have tried dating in the 21st century, particularly online dating, you will have had a story or two like our lovely Abbie.

Ms Ryder has taken us on a journey full of cautionary tales of dating today, with lots of laughs and OMG moments.

You can't help but fall in love with Abbie as each dates comes to pass. Your heart will be full of laughter, however it will also hurt at times as each guy comes and goes into Abbie's life. You can't help but give up with her, whilst at the same time have that glimmer of hope that the next guy will be "the one".

I adore her brother Will and their relationship. I feel that I need to know more of him.

This was a quick read, and just the thing that I needed, a couple of hours to myself during this busy Christmas period. I need my book time, people!

I am looking forward to whatever Ms Ryder brings us next

Another super cute story from Helena Hunting. And set in my favourite city in the USA that I have visited - Seattle. We are already on a winner!!

I liked the first book A Lie For A Lie, however I freaking loved A Favor For A Favor. I mean, more hockey hotties for me - yes please!

Stevie and Bishop's story is more of a slow burn - with plenty of getting each other revved up, full of hate-filled tension that you just know is going to blow the roof off (or, well, other things
