      I enjoyed this quick novella from The Storm series and after reading this novella it gave me even more reason to love this series. While I haven't reviewed the previous books in this series I read them and recommend others read them as well and who knows maybe I will go back and review those books. The other books in the series in order are The Mighty Storm, Wethering the Storm, Taming the Storm, and finally The Storm.

A Beautiful Idea By: Emily Mckee

(N) Isabelle Clark grew up in a world of poverty and received nothing but hatred from the women who gave birth to her. But now Isabelle is finally getting the chance to leave her life behind by moving away to college. On her first day at college she literally runs into the University of Maryland's walking one-night stand.
      Ryder Mitchell is every girl's dream he's a tattooed, muscled, baseball playing dream package. Ryder thought that he had the life going to school, tattooing people, and getting with any girl he wanted.
      When Isabelle receives the news that her financial aid doesn't cover her room and board she has until the end of the month to come up with the $5000 she needs to stay in the dorms. But when the month is almost over and she still doesn't have the money Ryder suggests that Isabelle move in with him and take his spare room. The more time these two spend together the closer they get.
      So I have had this book sitting in my kindle to be read for a while now and I finally just got around to reading it. I was surprised to realize just how much I enjoyed reading this book and found myself not wanting to put it down. This book catches your attention right from the beginning and keeps it the whole time. This is a book worth reading.

Kade's Game By: C.M. Owens

(N) This is Kade's side of the story on what happened in Hooked on the Game. Kade never understood his neighbor Raya, she never came to any of his parties and seemed to always be looking down on him and now she's living in his house. Raya now has the power to control everything that Kade does in the house all because of four frat guys that bulldozed her house and they weren't even invited to his party. This is all Kade's dad idea of a sick joke, he's punishing Kade for something that he didn't even do.
       But what Kade never expected was to become intrigued with Raya. Sure he always found her attractive even when she wanted nothing to do with him but now Kade's beginning to see that there's more to Raya than he realized. Now Kade finds himself drawn to Raya and as much as he hates it he also loves it. But Raya doesn't fit in with Kade's plans, in fact she makes him forget all about his plans. Raya knocks Kade of balance every chance she gets but no matter how much he wants her Kade knows that he has to take things slow with Raya or risk losing her in the process.
       While reading Hooked on the Game I fell in love with Kade and Raya so of course when I saw that this book was told from Kade's point of view I knew I had to read it. While I think that Hooked on the Game was a little better than this one this book was still just as good of a read and definitely worth reading.

Hooked On The Game By: C.M. Owens

(N) Everyone has secrets that define them, a past that has shaped the person that they are today. Despite living next door to each other Kade and Raya have never made much of an effort to get to know one another until one wild party, four frat boys and a bulldozer. Sterling Shore was supposed to be a fresh start for freshman Raya Capperton and everything was working out perfectly. That is until her roommates get expelled for a prank leaving Raya with a house she cannot afford on her own. And that's when fate intervenes.
       Kade Colton has his life whole life planned out, everything he does he does for a reason, an elaborate game to aid him in the future. Raya doesn't want to like Kade after all the rich have never been good to her before. But little by little Raya's hatred towards Kade lessens and is replaced by something that she never thought that she'd feel for someone like Kade. There's just one problem Raya knows that her past could tarnish the future that Kade has worked so hard to achieve.
       I loved this book and could not put it down. I found myself finishing this book in what seemed like no time at all. Then once I was done with this book and saw that the next book in the series was the story told through Kade's point of view I know I had to read it next.

Lullabye (Rockstar #6) By: Anner Mercier

(N) This is the sixth book in the Rockstar series. Lullabye is just a quick little novella in the series.
       It's finally time for the Kingston triples to be born and the labor was anything but smooth sailing then again Jesse and Lucy's relationship has never been considered as smooth sailing before so why start now. As for Jesse, as long as Lucy and the babies are okay then everything else is fine.
       Lullabye was a quick short novella and by the time it was over I was upset because I just wanted more. I love reading about Lucy and Jesse and although this was a short read it was still well worth it. This novella also contained A Very Xander Christmas 2, another novella from Xander's perspective.

Ballad (Rcokstar #5) By: Anne Mercier

(N) This is the fifth book in the Rockstar series. This is Ben and Nicole's story. When Ben first sees Nicole she takes his breath away and he knows that Nicole is the one for him but because she's so young Ben knows he shouldn't act of his desires. Nicole's life is only just beginning and Ben's already done his fair share of living. Ben wants a life with Nicole but knows that it's unfair to ask so much from her before she's really had a chance to life.
     Nicole cannot help but stare at Ben, he's gorgeous, tall, has those intense blue eyes that she cannot look away from. Nicole hasn't had the easiest life growing up. And it's because of that why she's had to grow up much faster than others her own age. It's for this reason why Nicole doesn't mind the age difference between her and Ben. But it does matter to Ben and no matter the attraction these two feel for one another as long as Ben won't act on his feelings neither will truly be happy.
     It seems like I have been waiting forever for this book to come out. And then when I finally did get this book I had to wait until I had enough free time where I could give this book my undivided attention because of how much I love this series. While this book wasn't the best one in the series (my heart is still for Lucy and Jesse's story) I still manged to finished this book in no time at all. It had seemed like I just started reading the book and then next thing I know it was over. If my last reviews from the books in this series hasn't gotten you wanting to read this series yet then you really need to start.

Sweet for Her By: Harper Ashe

(N) Crystal Jenkins loves baking and works in the Blake Foods gourmet desserts department. While her job doesn't really pay much Crystal dreams of running her own bakery and knows that this job is just a step in the right direction. Up until this point the only love in her love was sweets but all that changed when Crystal met the handsome and mysterious Grey is Las Vegas and he swept off her feet.
      Billionaire Greyson Hughes wasn't interesting in settling down, as the CEO of Hughes Hotel his main priority was helping his brothers run the family business. Grey wasn't interested in starting anything with any women that is until his eye catches the beautiful Crystal over the security cameras. From that first sight Crystal has sparked a fire inside Grey something that no women was ever done before.
     Crystal finds herself falling for Grey even when she knows that she shouldn't. Grey not one for letting things go feels the attraction between him and Crystal and knows that she feels it too and is not willing to let it all slip away.
      So this is apparently book three in the series but not one for reading things in order when I don't have to I just read this book first. And this book was just a short okay read there was nothing really special about it. But this book actually was a two in one after Sweet for Her was finished the book contained another book in the series Sweet for Him. Sweet for Him was another okay book and it helped in my decision to not read the first book in this series.

Summer Beach Vets: Playing Santa By: H.Y. Hanna

(N) Holly lands a dream vacation house sitting in Australia for a couple she helped out a few months before. On her first full day in Australia Holly finds a litter of abandoned puppies close to the house and immediately tries to get them help.

     This was a cute quick story. While there was nothing really to write home about with this one it was definitely a cute story to read.

      Just when things are really starting to look up for Eden she realizes that she has underestimated the depth of Finley's problems and suddenly her job seems to be more than she ever expected. Soon Eden finds herself over her head.
      So I absolutely love this book and have read it multiple times since I got it. Since I have read this book so many times and I haven't done a review for it yet I decided to do one. As I said I have read this multiple times so it kind of goes without saying that you should read this book.

A Fighter's Desire Part Two By: L.P. Dover

(N) This is the second novella in the Gloves Off series. Gabriella Reynolds is the younger sister of MMA's Heavyweight Champion Matt Reynolds. Matt has warned all fighters to stay away from his sister and has warned his sister to stay away from all the fighter's that they'll only break her heart. Because Gabriella has been told to stay away from the fightersa it only drives her more to go after what she cannot have.
      For a while Gabriella listened to her brother and just remained friends with the fighters but she could only go so long just being friends with the fighters before she starts to get interested in one of them.

But when Tyler finds out that that isn't the case, that Gabriella doesn't want more then all bets are off. But because of each of their relationships with Matt Gabriella and Tyler have to keep their relationship a secret and it's a secret that they'll have to keep forever.
      After reading this second novella in the series I have a better understanding of how I feel about this series. And I have to say that this novella didn't make me anymore want to read the rest of the series than when I finished reading the last novella. And I even went as far as reading samples for the next few books and that didn't peak my interests either. So suffice to say I will not be reading this series.

Play By: Holly S. Roberts

(N) Killian MacGregor is the hottest quarterback in the NFL, and a guy that every girl wants.
       Rebecca Cavanaugh is a long distance runner for her college state team. Rebecca's not much of a partier but she ends up getting roped into going to one with her older sister as the designated driver.
       While attending the party Killian cannot take his eyes off of a perfect pair of legs and spends the next hour watching and tracking the women throughout the party. Killian watches her from a distance that is until he sees one of his teammates get a little too rough with Rebecca and then he makes his presence known.
       Rebecca not one for parties hides in the kitchen for most of it not wanting in on the athletic sex fest and she was doing great at hinding that was until a drunken football player forces Rebecca to her knees and waves his member in her face. Before Rebecca can try and get herself out of the current situation an unknown hero comes in and saves her. When Killian helps Rebecca off of the floor she's stunned when she turns to her hero and sees the sexiest man she's ever seen before.
       It takes them time for the two to get together but when they do they both cannot seem to keep their hands off of each other. But while they may not be able to keep their hands off of each other it is not enough to stop the past demons that these two have.  
       So at first while reading this I wasn't that into the book but kept reading mostly because I just wanted to see how the story ends and I'm glad that I did continue reading. This book turned out to be really good to the point where I could not put it down. Play is something that I will not only read again but now want to continue on and read the next book in the series.

But what neither of them expected was for feelings to get in the way. Emma never wanted to fall for Max but she did and now Max cannot find out about it.
      I loved this book and managed to finish the whole thing in one sitting. I really do enjoy reading books by Sandi Lynn, she makes these 300 page books go by in no time at all. One minute you're reading the first couple of chapters and the next you only have a few more chapters left. If you haven't read this book or other books by this author then I suggest that you do.

A Fighter's Desire By: L.P. Dover

(N) This book is just a quick novella from A Gloves Off series. It's common knowledge in the MMA world that identical twin fighters Ryley and Camden Jameson are just as aggressive and passionate in bed as they are in the ring. It is also well known that given the chance a girl could get the honor of spending the night with both Jameson brothers. There's just one catch, you have to pass the first test on the first night in order to go onto the next round. Ryley and Camden could have any girl of their choosing with no argument that is until they meet Ashleigh Warren.
       Ashleigh was far warned what was going to happen when she finally met the twins. Ryley and Camden approached her with a proposition and needless to say she didn't take it surprising them both. So Ryley and Camden come up with a new proposition she first gets to spend the night with each of them and she has to make it as long as they do. It's a proposition that Ashleigh can't refuse and one she knows that she'll enjoy.
       I liked reading this book and finished it in no time at all.  There's nothing really negative to say about this book except that online it said that the book was about 250 pages but actually ended at only 180 pages and the rest of the book was just a sneak book for another book. While this was a good book I'm not really sure about reading the other books in the series just yet.

Drawn To You By: Serena Grey

(N) Rachel has spent the last few months in love with a guy who wants nothing more than to just be her friend, saying that he's just not a one woman kind of man. Then while at a party she discovers that her this guy is engaged and upset with what she discovers she leaves the party, that's when Rachel meets Landon. Landon is the most attractive man that Rachel has ever laid eyes on and for some reason he thinks that she's a hooker. So Rachel doesn't see the harm in letting him think that after all it's just for one night and after that she'll never see him again.
     Landon has no desire to be in a committed relationship so his brother decides to give him a hooker for Landon's birthday going against Landon's wishes. Landon has never sought out a hooker before but when she's standing right in front of him he's more than willing to go along with it.
    It should have been easy, just a one night thing but Landon cannot seem to get the hooker from his birthday out of his head and does what he can to find out who she really is when he discovers that his brother never sent her to him. When he finally does see her again Rachel wants nothing to do with him and Landon cannot have that. However being the billionaire owner of the Swanson Court Hotels has its advantages and Landon will use whatever resource he can to get what he wants and he wants Rachel.
     This was just an okay story. There was nothing really special about this book and while there's more to this story I will not be coming on. All and all I say that this book is worth skipping over.

      I enjoyed reading this book, it was a quick read and enjoyable read. If you like quick reads I say give this book a try.
