This is the second book in the Heart Of The Rockies series, but the first that I have read. But this could be read as a standalone and I did not feel that I was missing anything by not reading the first book.

Oh Ben and Paige <3

They have a little history - not great history - but there is that spark, that attraction from the minute they are on the page together. There is this push/pull between them... Ben wants Paige, Paige pushes him away.

They both have something holding them back, but when there is the connection that these two have, nothing is going to stop it.

They push each other to become better people, to chase their dreams, to no let anyone stand in their way. And you can feel the characters blossom under it all.

I adored the secondary characters - well, most of them, most of the time! The could put light into the darkest of hours. The fiercest defenders, but the harshest critics. No one can tell it to you like it is like your closest friends.


Ms Richardson has a way with the imagery. I could almost see myself hiking the mountains (pfff yeah like I would really do that lol), wandering the ranch, watching the stars at night.

But can they overcome all the obstacles before them to get their HEA?

This is my first Sara Richardson read, but I will be going back to read the first in this series, and will definitely be reading the next book when it comes out.

In this weeks episode we are focusing on..... Yanis - The Screaming Tuesday's Aussie tour manager, and Carson - the US tour manager.

Months and months of sniping, disagreements, bickering has lead to a boatload of lust and unresolved sexual tension between Yanis and Carson.

I swear, the proximity lust just from reading!

This short story is just smoking hot!

You could feel the attraction, the lust, the passion between these two fly off the pages.

And I just wanted more!

I am really enjoying all of these novella installments, but I feel that this one turned up the heat just a little bit more.

A sex addict chef and a food addict - should make for fun, right? Imagine the things they could do with food!!

I have to admit, when I was at about 25% and picking this book up for the second night, I wasn't sure that I really wanted to continue. It just wasn't doing it for me.

But I am glad i pushed on (I am just not one who can easily DNF a book) as once it hit about the 50% mark, it really took off for me.

It took a fair while for me to connect with our H/h - they felt whiney, self absorbed and I admit I really did not like them. But as the story progressed and the characters began to really find their feet, I did become engrossed in the story.

Liam - sexy Aussie chef and sex addict - meets Mischa, when she mistakenly goes to his sex addicts meeting instead of her Overeaters Anonymous. There is that first spark, but is it because he likes her or is it because of his addiction.

Gah, it seemed to go on like this for ages. Does he or doesn't he like me? Made Mischa feel a lot more immature than her age suggested.

We did see some great character development in the second half of the book though. Both Liam and Mischa seemed to have a lot of personal growth, seemed to grow into their own skins. And by the end, I did actually quite like them - most of the time.

So, don't let my almost DNF deter you. Give Addicted a go, it might be just the book you are looking for

You will need to have read Naughty King first, as this continues right where the first book ends.

And so the story continues!

After the "what the hell" moment at the end of Naughty King, I just couldn't wait for Feisty Princess (is it just me or did that wait seem interminable?!?!?)

But now what do? There is so many ways things could go in this story. Oh, the possibilities! But can they both get what they want out of this predicament?

This was really a story of making lemonade out of the lemons.. .with some smoking hot sex thrown in for good measure!

I adored that as they made the most of the situation, there were more tender moments - could the Naughty King really be falling for the Feisty Princess?

For that you will have to read for yourself.

As with The Naughty King, the life of the party in The Feisty Princess is definitely Yamada. Seriously, I cannot keep a straight face when he gets going. And he has more of a role to play in The Feisty Princess then he did in The Naughty King - so more funnies!

Now I need The Dirty Royals, and like Veruca Salt..

Ms Ashley has done it again!

Not that she has ever got it wrong in my eyes anyway.

This 4th book in the Chaos series is by far the most emotional - and emotionally draining to the reader.

At the same time, this is one of my favourite books of 2015!

Even though I think that Ms Ashley was trying to kill me by dehydration - OMG the tears!!

Oh, it seems like forever since I have been in the world of Ballybeg, so this novella length story was a great way to get back, and to introduce us to the Ballybeg Bad Boys

Dex is Sean Mackey's - remember him? - brother - I loved the interactions between the brothers - even though they have been a bit distant in the past, they always act like brothers do.

From the minute Dex and Katy - his ex - end up in the same room, you know things are going to be fiery. There is some bad blood that lead to their breakup, and there is still the undercurrent of feelings between them.

You know what I love about Zara Keane's books - I love her quirky characters. No cookie-cutter characters with cookie cutter relationships and lives. They are the kinds of people I would definitely have as friends - I have been told I am a bit on the weird/quirky side, so they would fit in perfectly!

I did feel that the relationship dramas with Dex and Katy were a little but glossed over, and the relationship back on track in no time - BUT this is only because it is a novella length and everything kind of runs at warp speed in them.

I loved the secondary characters. There was enough drama, intrigue and mystery to keep me on the edge until the end - then left me wanting more. There was a real sense of whodunnit? running through the story, but you don't find out until Ms Keane wants you to know.

I loved getting back to Ballybeg, and I look forward to what Ms Keane brings us next.

For most of us, the closest we will ever get to talking to an author or a cover model is from behind the computer via social media. Unless you are lucky enough to go to an author event/book signing (believe me, if you ever get the chance, do it!!)

For indie author Sawyer James, the last thing she expects when she sees the hottie at the gym is for her world to be turned upside down.

The chemistry between her and Caleb is off the charts. Seriously, you would be burnt by the spark just by being in the same room.

The bump in the road though is Sawyer's boyfriend Liam. At times I both wanted to slap the crap out of him for ignoring Sawyer, but as we learn more my heart kind of broke for him.

But Sawyer needs to do what is right for her - but can she take that step.

Behind the Computer is a short, sexy read that I was able to finish in one sitting.

I have enjoyed F.L Jacob's previous works, and really did like this one.

Can't wait to see what we get next!

Firstly - can I say #ArmPorn on the cover??

This is the second in the Core Four series, and can be read as a stand alone. In fact, it felt like a stand alone as it had been so long since I read the first one (Bender) and I had mostly forgotten it's story.

I loved the first book, so I was really looking forward to Slider. And while I liked it, I just didn't love it.

Dr Turner Brooks was enamoured with Annabelle from their first meeting. Annabelle had the insta-lust thing going on with him.

I did like that she didn't immediately fall at Turner's feet or into his bed, but made him work for it.


I loved the dates that Turner put together for them - showed how much he really was interested in Annabelle.

But Annabelle - she just faded into the background for me. I had to reread the blurb to even remember her name! I am not sure what it was about her, but I just didn't find her memorable at all.

Slider was a sweet, fastpaced (maybe a little too fast paced at times?) story that was a good way to fill in an afternoon - but it just didn't stick with me.

Although I will be reading the next two, as I think Wrigley's story is going to be fun.

Oh, how I loved the Drawn series, but how I LOVE the Drawn To Fight series.


Though this is the second book in the Drawn to Fight series, it runs parallel to the first book (Zac and Evie) so it could be read as a stand alone.


We got glimpses of Hugo and Meg in Zac's story, but now we get down to the nuts and bolts of their relationship. And you just know that it is going to be bumpy ride!


So if you are anything like me, you are going to need your tissues handy



This is a story of what lengths people will do to fight for the love of their life. There are so many hurdles thrown in their way. So much to overcome, that you can only hang on for the ride and hope, pray that they can make it.

I adore their love for each other, through thick and thin.


I hate what they go through. I may have ugly snotty cried at one stage (though this cannot/will not be confirmed). I became so invested in these character's lives that when they cried, I cried. When they laughed, I laughed.


I loved that we got to see Zac's story from book 1 from the POV of those around him. Saw things in a different light. Made me understand him more.

Ms Anderson simply has a way with her writing that keeps me wanting more. The minute I finished, I just wanted more.

Another thing I really, really love about the Drawn to Fight series, is where they are set. I grew up in the area that these stories are told, and when I read about them they bring back some good, mostly fun, memories.

Thank you for giving us Hugo and Meg's story, and I can't wait to read what you bring us next.

M. Leighton has done it again with Tough Enough. She has drawn me right into the world she has created, and left me wanting, no needing more... right away... this instant!

Katie has had a rotten run of things, and right from the prologue you just know her story is going to be a heartbreaking one. She lives, but she isn't living. You know it is going to be a strong man who finally breaks through the walls she has erected around herself.

Rogan - le sigh. All brash and brawn - and a heart the size of Texas. He seems to have it all, be we all know that things are never what they seem.

Just as we think we know how things are going to go between our lovelies - BAM! - Ms Leighton blows that out of the water.

Tough Enough touches on some deeper, darker issues, and Ms Leighton does it well. From the lowest of lows to the highest of highs, you will be taken on a rollercoaster of a ride from the first word to the last.

Through it all, there is a sweet, sexy, hot story and I couldn't help but want Katie and Rogan to make things work.

There were some characters that I just adored - Katie's best friend Mona is fantabulous! But for the good there is the bad, and there are some common acquaintances of Katie and Rogan that I just wanted to perpetrate acts of violence against!

There is a bit of a story that carries over from the first book (Strong Enough) but not so much that you would need to read it before Tough Enough. But why you would want to miss out on any of the alpha goodness is beyond me.

I am looking forward to what Ms Leighton brings us with the 3rd books, Brave Enough.
