I couldn’t get enough of Liam and Amy in Escaping Reality, and I was really looking forward to Infinite Possibilities.
And I was not disappointed.
Amy and Liam have hit a rough patch in their relationship, and she is one confused woman.
Who can she and can’t she trust? Is Liam trying to protect her or harm her? What does Derek have to do with things?
“Run to me, not from me.”
And then there are the other people who come into her life to confuse her even more. Who can she believe? What does Jared have to do with things/
Amy’s past plays a much bigger part in Infinite Possibilities than it did in Escaping Reality, and though I thought it took away quite a bit from the Amy/Liam romance side of things, It was quite suspenseful, and at times I was on the edge of my seat wondering who was up to no god.
I was glad that we got further into Amy’s psyche through the events of her past. This made some of her current decisions make a lot more sense.
Saying that, there is still a lot of the Liam/Amy love story. There was still plenty of this
and maybe talk of here...
and of course looking at this
I did love that we also learnt more of Amy's family. There were a few tears as we learnt of what happened to them. What happened was so much a part of Amy now,and how she has survived is testament to the strong woman she is.

**Warning this book does contain a rape scene**
I very much liked the premise of Have I Told You - men's mag entrepreneur and millionaire meets abused college student with the self esteem beaten out of her.
Having said that, there was as much that I liked about the book as I didn't so much.
Caston "Cass" is super rich, super hot, super available - for a short time. Sabrina "Bre" has been in an abusive relationship for the past 3 years and needs a way out.
Their first "meeting" was very knight in shining armour, I will come to your rescue-ish, but when we find out how he has kept tabs on her, it felt very stalkerish?
The characters feel a bit confused to me. At first Caston is uber-alpha male. Me Tarzan, you Jane, me protect you kinda guy. But as the book moved on he started to feel a bit whiney to me, and the co-dependency he has with Sabrina a bit too much.
Sabrina is all "I am never going to let a man rule me again" but caves in with just a look from Caston. I know she is a bit confused, but this was definitely not the way to grow!
The sex. Yes, there is sex. A lot of it. And yes, it is hot. But waaaaay too much (and I love my lady porn as much as the next girl!). At times it felt like *wake up - good morning - have sex - let's have breakfast, no wait, let's have sex. I felt that it detracted from the story, as we did not get to learn about Caston and Sabrina, other than that they are multi-orgasmic. It felt at times they did not have a full conversation at all.
And that was the other thing that got to me. There is a lack of contraction of words, especially from Caston, that at times made the conversations very stilted and felt very formal. But it wasn't consistent, there would be contracted and non-contracted words in the same sentences. This did seem to get a bit better later in the book. There are also a few typo/grammatical errors but not too many.
There was some super hot m/f/f/m scenes and one hot hot hot f/f scene (which I am not usually a fan of, but hooey am still fanning myself).
There are some horrible horrible secondary characters in this book that go back into Caston and Sabrina's pasts. They have quite a major part to play in the way the plot goes
At times Have I Told You felt a bit rushed. They went from strangers to I love you's quicker than I could make a sandwich! But this is what fairy tales are all about isn't it.
Have I told you does end on a cliffhanger, but I have become invested in Cass and Bre, so I know I will be reading more of their story when it comes out.
This is FL Jacob's first novel, and she has done a good job with Have I Told You.

I am a fan of MC books, so was thrilled when I received an ARC for this book (and as I sit here writing, I can hear a group of Harley's driving through town... wonder if it is our boys?)
You should read Hell's Knight and Heaven's Sinner before this book.
We have had Cade's story, then Spike's (Love Spike!!)
Now it is time for Jackson.
Jackson and Spike and their two clubs are joining forces to make sure that Hogan (remember him, he killed Spike's wife?) is gone for good.
When Hogan sends his daughter Serenity (come on fellow Aussies, you know you want to say it... how's the serenity... ok, got that out of the way) to spy on Jackson and the clubs, sparks fly.
Serenity has been abused by her father since she was a child, and hates him even though he is the only family she knows. Yet walking into the club house (ballsy move) she finds that not every biker is like her father and his club. Could these people become her new family?
I feel for Serenity. Really, whatever she does, someone is going to get hurt or killed. There is no clear choice about what she should do, especially when threats are made against those she loves.
Jackson... he has always been considered a bear on the outside, but softie on the inside. And when he first sees Serenity there is an instant attraction. He has a constant battle with himself, does he fight the attraction (hell, she is only a little older than his daughter) or does he throw caution to the wind and act on it?
I keep forgetting Jackson is only in his 40s and not an old man - until he starts getting his sex on... damn!
I love that Cade and Addie and Spike and Ciara are still pretty major players in this story.
And wait till you properly meet Muff (can you guess why he is called that??) He's such a dirty, dirty boy!
There are ups and downs with Jackson and Serenity's relationship
I love the Bella Jewel does not overdramatise the MC lifestyle, but also does not sugar coat what they get up to. Yes, they do illegal activities, but when it comes to family, they are protective of their own.
So, this is the last book in this series, and I feel that the author has done the series justice.
My one bug bear though was with punctuation. They call Jackson Jacks - fair enough. But it is written as Jack's and it really did bother me in the end.
But other than that, a thoroughly enjoyable book.

Safe in His Arms is a quick, sexy hot read with a bit of a paranormal twist to it.
After a weekend of passion with Zac, Becca winds up pregnant and Zac is in the wind.
Years down the track, he is back in her life and things are about to get crazy.
It is kind of a Bourne Identity kinda feel, very fast paced, lots of spies/hitmen/contract kills.
You need to be able to suspend belief a bit for this one, but that is not a bad thing - it's why we all read books isn't it?
The sex scenes are hot, but maybe a bit over the top? Seriously, who wants to get spanked to the point of tears every time they have sex?
I think that this story would have been better if it was longer, as everything felt rushed. I did like the back story of how they met though.
Not a bad book at all, just left me wanting at the end.

Wow, JS Cooper, what a way to continue this series!
Make sure you have read The Last Boyfriend and The Last Husband before you read The Other Side of Love.
Noah Beaumont has been a bit of an enigma since he returned in The Last Husband. Back from the dead, where has been, what has he been through.
I loved that we got more of Zane and Lucky, we go deeper into the past, and a few questions from the previous 2 books are answered, as well as a few new ones.
I love how 3 people all a little lost all come together to create a new family.
And there is a twist in the tale that I wasn't expecting.
I think I like this one the best out of the 3 books.
Thank you JS Cooper for the opportunity to get into the world of the Beaumonts.

What a way to conclude this series.
I love Chloe and Bennett, but love the rest of the crew as well.
At times this read like a Griswald's wedding - inappropriate cousins, horny divorced aunts, calamities with wedding dresses and rings.
Through it all Chloe and Ben try to keep things together to get to the acutal ceremony.
Loved that we got Max and Sara and Will and Hanna (god I just love Will!!) into the fold and in the shenanigans.
I am sorry to see this series end, but am looking forward to Christina Lauren's new series next year.
Lauren (and Christina if you make it) prepare to get fan girled all over when you hit Sydney next year!!
