A sweet sexy romance that was a symphony of love, hope, and self-discovery!! Love Rehab by Louise Bay was a fresh breath of air that ignites our heart’s desire in finding love, understanding, and happiness.
“I needed a cure. I needed my plan back on track. I needed Love Rehab.”
I have read several books from Louise Bay and I gotta say that Love Rehab was one sweet gem that left a big smile on my face. With her gorgeous prose, Louise creates a story that will awaken your senses as readers will get swept away with Mackenzie’s search and truth why she needed love rehab.

Love and marriage has always been in her plan but it seems life’s plan had a different course for her. And so, Mackenzie decides that she needs to head to Oklahoma for Love Rehab. As she brings her two best friends along with her, Mackenzie meets Blake, the night before her five day love rehab session.
“I could kiss her all night— her softness and her strength wound round me, pulling me toward her. There was no room for anything else. No room to think about my career, or my future. I was stuck in the moment— just where I needed to be. I wanted her, needed her.”
A one night stand should have stayed a one night stand but when Mackenzie discovers that Blake is also helping out in his sister’s love rehab program, she discovers that it is hard to stay away from him. It should have been just physical sex but something begins to ignite inside. Something intimate. Could two people who were just wandering through life discover that the wild, heart-tugging and earth shattering romance that they were looking for was standing in front of them?
“Having her near me, I wanted to talk to her. When I was talking to her, I wanted her closer. When I was closer, I wanted to kiss her, and now kissing her I wanted more.”
The beauty of this book is that Louise Bay allowed readers to feel for her characters and understand that love and life is truly a journey. It is seeing every flaws and embracing it and learning from our mistakes. Love may be the end goal but love can’t be fully grasped and defined until you acknowledge the one truth. Love yourself first. And for Mackenzie and Blake, their journey was a wild, freeing revelation. No one is truly lost. They just needed a little guide and push in the right direction. So if you are looking for a refreshing, sweet, sexy and touching love story that had sprinklings of humor then I suggest you Love Rehab by Louise Bay a try.

So if you are looking for a PNR that is packed with entertainment, charismatic characters and love then get ready to surrender to RVD’s writing and of course, Alex.

Bullseye! J. Daniel definitely hits the spot as she has readers like myself swooning, giggling, and smiling big. Ever since I was introduced to Jamie and Tori in Four Letter Word, I couldn’t wait to get my greedy book hands on their story. And let me just say J. Daniels didn’t disappoint.
“I want something? I get it, and I don’t fuckin’ lose. Ever. No shit . I’m not just blowin’ smoke up my own ass, babe . When I say I don’t fuckin’ lose, I mean, I do not fuckin’ lose. That applies to a lot of shit, Legs, and it sure as fuck applies to you. I won’t back down, boyfriend or not. You gotta know that.”
Hit The Spot was a fresh breath of air. It was romance that had fun written all over it from the banter, sexual tension, lust, passion, love, and vivacious characters. If you didn’t read Four Letter Word, it is okay because this book can be read as a standalone.
Tori Rivera thought she found Mr. Right that is until she discovers that he is married and has a kid. Yeah, so you can’t blame the girl for keeping her heart guarded. And so when Jamie McCade, a well known professional surfer and playboy at heart starts flirting with her, she tries to ignore him since he has player and heart-breaker written all over him.
“Jamie McCade was unstoppable. And the parts of me that didn’t mind looking at something so beautiful hated him for it. Yes, unfortunately on top of being the most irritating man in the history of irritating men, Jamie was beautiful. He was cocky. He was unashamed. He was over-the-top pigheaded and spoke like a Neanderthal wielding a club. And he was beautiful. It sucked. Seriously.”
Ignoring Jamie proves harder when the man pursues her for nine months straight. Yes, for nine months Jamie proves his presence is hard to resist especially when he is best friends with Brian, who happens to be dating Tori’s best friend, Syd. So what happens when all the flirtatious banter and teasing soon leads to a kiss? A kiss that rocks both of their world off it’s axis? Will Tori decide that getting involved with Jamie will only lead to heartbreak? Or will Jamie decide that this game of cat and mouse is something that he wants to play...and what he wants is Tori “Legs” Rivera.
“That was when the kiss became a kiss. The kind that should be done behind closed doors. The kind that made your toes curl and your pulse race. The kind you told your girlfriends about and commemorated with a diary entry. Jamie tasted good. Too good. And he kissed even better. I couldn’t deny it.”
The chemistry between Tori and Jamie is indescribable. It was fiery hot as these two were both playing with fire as they began their game of who would cave in first. It was only a matter of time till Tori couldn’t deny her attraction and feelings for Jamie. And as for Jamie, his feelings for her never wavered and in my personal opinion scored major points for this hot blonde surfer with dimples.
“That was the truth. I wasn’t lying. I wasn’t just saying shit ’cause my dick was in her either. I loved her. She knew that. But this was bigger. It felt bigger.”
“It’s you, babe. Never had nothin’ like this. Never had nothin’ even close. And never will again. I know that.”
Hit The Spot was a splash of fun, laughter, banter, steam and a bit of drama thrown into the mix. J. Daniels treated her readers to a sassy independent heroine and a dirty talking hero so if you are like me, she will have you loving the sexual chemistry brewing between Jamie and Tori. With her playful prose, vivacious characters and fun story line, J. Daniels will have your riding the waves of a love story that makes a big splash!

Did I ever thought Tessa Bailey would write a M/M romance? Nope, but I am so happy that she did. Wound Tight is the perfect way to wrap up the Made In Jersey Series as she brings forth a romance that was sizzling hot, erotic, and burning with so much emotion and chemistry.
Hell, what did he know about sex with a man, apart from being incredibly aware that the idea got him hot like crazy?”
The sexual tension between Renner and Milo was indescribable. When Milo asked his broody alpha boss, Renner to help him in the romance guy department, he didn’t expect that it would soon lead to a hot romantic affair. Yes, if you know anything about Tessa Bailey is that she can write steamy scenes like no other. So be prepare to squirm in your seats. So can two people who are fighting their attraction and feelings for one another find their happily ever after like their friends?
Renner had never been so certain of anything in his life. Inside his chest, his heart was roaring like an engine. There was no way to achieve detachment here. Had there ever been a way with Milo? No… no. Since the beginning, he’d been affected, and now he’d sunk down into quicksand. He didn’t want to be rescued, either. ”
As much as I enjoyed Wound Tight, I just wished the author didn’t abruptly ended the story of Milo and Renner. It just felt too rushed for my taste. But other than that, Tessa Bailey did an amazing job wrapping this series and showcasing that the gang of friends all got their Made In Jersey happily ever after.

A deep addictive visceral emotional book that leaves you yearning and wanting for more. Boundaries will be pushed, love will be on the line, hearts will be broken, lives will be lost, and raw emotions will be coursing through your veins. That’s right my fellow romance fans, M. Robinson has found her niche in the book community as an author who will continue to give you the unexpected and in her newest release, Road To Nowhere, she takes readers down the road where chaos, passion, grit, and forbidden love collides.
“Everything I had done, I had done for my family, for the MC, for her… I fought for my fucking brothers. I fought for my goddamn country. I fought for my girl. Never realizing… I might fucking die for them too. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, and all that fucking shit. I once read that every warrior hoped a good death would find him. I always went looking for mine, but not even the Reaper wanted me.”
I know there are some readers who will be wary when they are introduced to Creed and Mia. The age gap might scare readers but trust me when I tell you this book is more than physical attraction but knowing that your soul, mind and heart are linked to one person only. And for Creed Jameson, his heart and whole being belonged to the young girl that showed him what real love and sacrifice entails.
“I should have stopped her. I should have told her no. I should have done something, anything… Except allow her to close the distance between us.”
Creed Jameson was born into a life where chaos, death, and more chaos are an integral part of his being. Nothing is handed to Creed as everything has to be earned. Honor, friendship, brotherhood, respect and love had to be earned but one thing that came easily was winning the heart of Mia Ryder since her heart and being belonged to him from the get go.
“Countless women had touched me the way she was right in that moment, more times than I cared to fucking count. This was different. This was so meaningful, so emotional, so goddamn loving. This was Mia. My Pippin.”
When a nine year old Mia meets Creed, who happens to be 18 years old for the first time, a spark was formed. Lines of lust, friendship and love begins to be drawn out. Two souls spoke to each other on a deeper level. So fast forward to a couple years later, when a mature and old soul Mia finds herself at a crossroad in her life, wanting to be with a man that is dangerous and yet gives her the kind of love and affection that no one can give.
“So much love. So much everything. He. Wanted. Me. “No more bullshit between us. You want to be kissed, touched, fucked,” he groaned against my lips. “Then I fuck you. I’m claimin’ you, Pippin. You’re fuckin’ mine.” And I was. I always had been.”
Although these two star crossed lovers belonged to one another, they both must face a rough and angsty journey. The road to happily ever after is never simple as family, friends, secrets, and the past are standing in their way. Can a man who has built his life on the open road find a home in a girl that has complicated written all over her?
“I know who you are, Mia Ryder. From the second I saw you, and I’ve loved ya every day since for it.”
While M. Robinson did her staple anti-hero and forbidden love aspect, she pushed readers to a whole new arena where emotions runs deep. These raw emotions are the very essence as to why Creed and Mia demanded your attention. Their love was never meant to be easy. It was meant to be a journey that takes you somewhere. And so are you ready to embark on that Road To Nowhere?

A pinch of sass, a teaspoon of drama, a tablespoon of laughter, a cup of sex, and a whole heaping of love. And oh yeah, a sprinkling of Evan Stone. Mix it all together and you got one sugary treat that was dangerously addicting!!!
“Oh, did he kiss her. His mouth moved with deliberate ease over hers, urging her lips apart so he could dip his tongue inside. He tasted like sweet, spicy peppermint, and his breath was cool against her lips. Hannah’s pleasure blossomed outward, filling her veins with heat.”
If you read the first book, Sweet Dreams, then you were all introduced to Hannah Lockhart, the older sister of Polly and Evan Stone, the younger brother of Luke. And so in Sweet Escape, Hannah is taking over Wild Child Bakery while her sister is enrolled in a pastry course in Paris. Unlike her sister, Hannah has always been the wild child, who loves to travel. She is always on the go, never settling in one place that is until Polly asked her to watch and take over the bakery while she is away. Hence, Hannah for the first time in several years find herself staying put temporarily.
Evan Stone is a thirty one years old bachelor who has been coined as “Heartbreaker.” Well this heartbreaker ain’t breaking lots of heart per se but he makes it known to the ladies that relationships aren’t his thing especially since he has a defective heart. His illness has always been his armor when it comes to protecting his heart and disappointment. He doesn’t want his family seeing him as someone who needs special care because of his defective heart and so he tries to work really hard to show his family that he is strong, reliable, and capable of taking care of himself.
“Curious girl. A wanderlust photographer who found beauty in strange places other people wouldn’t think to look. What other secrets did she have? She was like a present wrapped in bright shiny paper that he couldn’t wait to tear open.”
When Hannah was asked to help cater this bachelor auction, she suddenly finds herself accidentally bidding on Evan Stone, which in turn leads her to agreeing to going on several dates with him. Evan is easily smittened with Hannah. She intrigues him and ignites a desire and addiction that he craves. She is one treat that he would like to bite into.
As Hannah and Evan begins to get close, a friendship begins to form that soon leads to a sexual romantic affair. It was inevitable for these two as the chemistry and sexual tension was palpable from the start. And let’s just say these two knew how to get things sticky!!! But what happens when Hannah itch for wanderlust begins to set in? Will Evan give Hannah a reason to stay? And will Hannah discover that home might be in the arms of Evan Stone?
“His heart beat steady and strong against her ear, like a rhythmic knocking on a door. In response, her own heart softened, like it wanted to answer. She pressed her hand to her chest as if to stifle the urge.”
Sweet Escape was a playful, fun, sexy, steamy, and sinfully addicting read that had a touch of raw emotions. This book had relatable characters who were raw, honest, and vulnerable. I loved Hannah as readers got to discover a heroine, who is just looking for love and a place to call home. And home happens to be with Evan Stone. So can a girl who blogs about the magic of love find her sweet escape and forever love in Evan? I guess the only way to find out is to give this hunky, sexy, dirty talking hero a lick!! Yes, so if you like your romance dirty, sexy, sweet, tarty, and sticky then Sweet Escape is the book for you.

If I thought this installment couldn’t get any more sinister and crazy, well it did. Yes, it was bloody, gory, crazy, and pardon my language fucking insane. I guess it’s safe to say these two will have your slightly creeped out as to how far they will push the boundaries of sanity and yet I was intoxicated with Benny’s past and his need for his dirty doll.

A calculating sinful and devious story that erotically blends lust, romance, desire, and revenge into one palpable addictive read. Skye Warren has masterfully crafted a story that begs readers to enter into a world where deception, knowledge, power, and control is a must. So are you ready to make your move and outsmart The Pawn?
“As Gabriel Miller pointed out, I have one thing left of value. My body. My virginity. Maybe the man outside wants that.”
It’s no secret that I am a fan of Skye Warren and when she decided to write a story that dealt with a heroine auctioning off her virginity, you gotta know that I will be all over this book. And let me just say Skye had me hooked. I was a pawn in her masterfully orchestrated game of love, survival and revenge.
Avery James is the princess who fell from the graces of the elite and privileged. She once lived an enchanted fairytale life where she was spoiled by her father and had it all but that all came crumbling down when everything of value was gone. Penniless and no money to help pay for her father’s medical expenses, Avery is forced to auction off the only thing that has value. Her virginity.
“You don’t taste sweet,” he says, pausing. “You taste like I’m fucking dying and you’re the only water around. You taste like goddamn air.”
So when Gabriel Miller bought Avery James, she became not only his possession for one month but he owned her in every sense of the word. His command. His touch. His wants. His needs. His game. And Avery James was just the pawn in this calculated move of revenge and power.
Gabriel Miller knew that Avery James is an innocent virgin. She was his for the taking. And once he set his eyes on something, he claims it. As much as he is drawn to her, she was a temptation that he must resist.
Avery’s virginity is for the taking. It is only a matter of when Gabriel will claim it. But what Avery never expected was to be attracted to him. She wants and needs him in such a primal manner. But what happens when Gabriel finally claims her virginity, will Avery find her lose her upper hand in this game of control? In this game of knowing what move to make first, will the pawn outwit the king?
“Maybe I wouldn’t feel so dirty if he’d just taken my virginity the first night. Regular sex, right away. Even coming on me, as sharp and intimate as it is, I could have withstood. It’s the orgasms he forces from my body that feel like a violation.”
The Pawn is hands down one of my favorite books that Skye Warren has written so far. Each action, characters, and prose were meticulously and flawlessly delivered to heighten the erotic chemistry between Avery and Gabriel. I love that Skye Warren didn’t hold anything back when it came to this calculating game of power, control, and lust. She had readers on the edge as she drops a few twist and turns along the way. And let me just say that ending, has me wanting the next book stat. So if you are looking for a book that was masterfully and erotically orchestrated then this dark romance is the book for you.

And let me just say, this book was worth the wait as it had everything that I wanted from naughty to nice.
“He’s sucking me in, pulling me under. He’s an avalanche and I’m being swallowed by him. A perfect stranger. How does he do it? How has he managed to throw me off, drag me in, lift me up, all in the course of a few minutes? ”
Dilyn Hart hates Christmas. It’s the one holiday that doesn’t bring her joy but instead a reminder of a painful past. And so when her ex-boyfriend asked her to do an interview of Dash Grainger, Dilyn didn’t expect that her interview would land her getting her stockings stuffed by Dash.
Dash Grainger is a professional snowboarder, who doesn’t hide his playboy ways. So when he is asked to do an interview on Christmas Eve, Dash didn’t expect that Dilyn to be a total knockout. Not only did she had brains but she had a beauty that knocked Dash’s world off it’s axis. As they were conducting the interview, it seems mother nature was also playing it’s part in uniting these two strangers.
“My chest is full with him. My head is light with him. My body is achy with him. It’s like the world I know, the reality I live in, is far from here. Far from us. Time and space and thought are suspended, and anything goes.”
Forced to stay inside the chalet due to the snowstorm, Dash and Dilyn decided to play twenty questions. As they both revealed something about themselves, the strong sexual chemistry that was emitting off them was something that couldn’t be contained. Soon Dash and Dilyn found themselves getting tangled in the sheets. But what happens when the snowstorm is over, will Dilyn be changing her mind about Christmas?
“I want to get lost, like I do every Christmas, but this time I want to get lost in someone. In Dash. In his deep voice and liquid eyes. In his quick smile and profound understanding.”
Dashing Through The Snow is a sexy blend of steam, love, and raw emotions. M. Leighton never fails to deliver love stories that gives you that warm fuzzy feeling and Dash Grainger is definitely one gift that you would want Santa to deliver. So if you are looking for a story to unwrap and deck the halls with this holiday season, then Dashing Through The Snow is one toasty read that will leave you blushing and smiling big.

It’s official, readers will be sipping and savoring Perfectly Paired by Lexi Blake. This book was everything you expected from Lexi Blake as she beautifully blended eroticism with vulnerability and passion with a lingering note and aftertaste of love.
“Damn but she was a beautiful woman. She was also something he needed to keep his hands off of. No matter what Big Tag said, he did not date women he worked with. ”
Sebastian Lowe is a former military veteran who has been left injured with two missing leg limbs. As someone who relies heavily on his two prosthetic legs, he has managed to work his way up in the restaurant world as a top leading sommelier. As far as his romantic life, it’s been nonexistent since ever he came back injured. As a top sommelier, Sebastian also leads a lifestyle as a Dom in the BDSM world.
Tiffany Haynes is a waitress at TOP and has a thing for moody Sebastian. She is well aware that Sebastian is missing two of his legs but she doesn’t care at all. All Tiffany sees is a man that she is very attracted to and whom she wants. She wants Sebastian to claim her for himself. So when a circumstance arises, Sebastian and Tiffany are encouraged by their boss to be paired up.
“He was thoughtful, careful, and he wanted her to be that way, too. He watched her as she exposed her body to him, his eyes hot, but he remained perfectly still. He was savoring her. He was looking at her like she was a glass of wine he wanted to be able to describe with precision. ”
As these two complete opposites are paired off and forced to lived together, Tiffany is presented the opportunity to show Sebastian that she does not see him as half man that is broken but instead a man who has a beautiful heart that needs to be slowly mended and pieced back together. Will Sebastian be able to let Tiffany fully into his life and show her his scars? Or will he push her away?
“She was responding to him and he intended to make sure she never regretted it. Here in bed and in play he would give her everything he had. Everything she could need.”
Perfectly Paired is a sexy emotional passionate love story that was swirling with lots of heat, chemistry, love, vulnerability and healing. I love that Lexi Blake continues to write stories that showcases flawed characters who just needs a little patching and encouragement of love in order for them to heal the broken pieces outside as well as inside. So if you are looking for a love story that perfectly pairs readers to a story that hits all the right notes and awaken your senses to breathe in, taste and sip a romance that gets better with age then this light, crisp emotional and steamy book is definitely for you.

A bite sized novella that you will want to savor, inhale and taste. Lauren Blakely is my go to author when it comes to love stories that has the perfect blend of heat and heart. And in her newest novella, The Only One, Lauren has me grinning big as she puts in her fun, heartfelt, and sexy twist on a second chance fated romance.
“All I know is I want him to take me again, to have me, to make love to me. I want him to strip me naked, kiss me all over, down my thighs to my knees, nipping my ankles, then back up again, settling between my legs.”
Ten years ago, Penny was in love. She had a whirlwind romance with a stranger she met while vacationing in Spain. For three days, Gabriel consumed Penny’s life. He made her feel things that she never thought was possible. They both made a promise to meet up in New York City. The date, time and location were set. As Penny stood there waiting for Gabriel to arrive, she soon realized what a broken heart felt like.
Fast forward to the present, Penny is a non-profit worker for an animal shelter. She is organizing a fundraiser event and is in need of a restaurant to help cater the event. So when Penny stumbles into the restaurant to meet with the chef, it is there she sees Gabriel again but this time he doesn’t seem to remember her.
“I’m in love. And it isn’t just any kind. It’s the big kind. The crazy kind. The type of love that latches on to you and won’t let go. I bring my mouth to his ear, ready to tell him, ready to share my whole heart, but then he pushes so deep into me that I see stars. I see the light of distant planets. I see entire universes. It’s that good. It’s that intense. I unravel in the most mind-bending, breathtaking, toe-curling kind of climax. It unfurls. It spreads, and the aftershocks roll through me as he chases me there, coming and not stopping. Just like me, just like him, just like us.” As Penny stood there in front of him, Gabriel thinks that she is his Penny that he met ten years ago but isn’t quite sure if she is the same girl. As fate would have it, memories of what they shared begins to flood back. Will the stars aligned for these two? And will Gabriel and Penny get their second chance at love this time around?
A sweet, delectable and beautiful love story that reminds me of a Lifetime and Hallmark movie with the addition that it is more steamy and hot. We cannot forget that Lauren Blakely stamped her staple romance of heat and heart in this novella. So if you are looking for a quick and sexy read that will have your hearts fluttering and smiling big then The Only One is the book for you.

Banger by Aria Cole is a very fast paced office romance. I enjoyed the story but didn’t love it maybe it was the fact that it was super short and I really didn’t connect emotionally to the characters. Don’t get me wrong the characters are likable and there are a few sexy scenes so that was a plus. Overall, it was a light very predictable read with multiple epilogues.

As much as I enjoy reading an Ella James book, Crown Jewels was just okay for me. It was a good book since I liked the premise of a reality TV starlet and a real life prince getting together and then their one night stand leads to an unexpected pregnancy. That synopsis sold me so I was holding high expectations for this book but sadly I couldn’t connect to the characters since I was overwhelmed with so many secondary characters. As much as I wanted to like the hero and heroine, they just didn’t stand out with all the madness and chaos that was surrounding them. I know others will enjoy this type of book but unfortunately I found this book to be just standard.
