Guardian's Mate (Shifter's Unbound Book 9) By: Jennifer Ashley

(N) Wolf Shifter Rae Lyall has been chosen by the Goddess to become the next Guardian of her Montana Shiftertown, a position Rae doesn't want to have and one no one else wants her to have for no woman has ever been selected for such a position before. Sill adjusting to her new position Rae's father and leader of the Montana Shiftertown sends Rae to train with Zander Moncrieff, a Shifter healer on her new role and responsibilities.
       Zander's a polar bear Shifter who doesn't wear a Collar and follows no one's rules but his own. Rea finds Zander arrogant and demanding yet at the same time finds him compelling and intriguing. Zander has no desire to mate but the new Guardian he's in charge of training is slowly drawing him out of his shell and stirring feelings inside that he has long since suppressed.
      And when faced with a new threat Zander and Rae are forced closer to danger and to each other.

       Guardian's Mate is the ninth book in the Shifter's Unbound series. As a fan of the Shifter's Unbound series I do have to say that while this was another book that I finished in no time at all it wasn't the best book that I've read in this series. While I did find myself at times not being able to put this book down overall it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The problem is that this one didn't seem as though there was much going on in this book in terms of the overall story in the series so I think it's safe to say that you could skip in the series.

Womanizer By: Katy Evans

(N) Olivia Roth has been given the chance to intern at Callan Carmichael's firm as a favor from her older brother through one of his best friends Callan. While Olivia may have only gotten the internship because of her connections Olivia wants to be able to prove to herself and to others that she deserves this internship based on her own merits.
      After finishing her first day on the job Olivia heads up to the roof for some air and finds a hot stranger already there. The two share a cigarette and after that one meeting there's an attraction there that neither one can deny. And the best part is, neither knows who the other really is, she thinks he works in the mail room and he thinks she's just an outspoken feisty girl. What they don't know is that her hot stranger is Callan Carmichael, CEO of the company she now interns at and she is his best friend's little sister.
      When their true identities are revealed both know that they shouldn't be together but the chemistry they have for one another is just too hot to ignore. Callan and Olivia only have three months until her internship is over and she goes back home to Texas. 
      Olivia knows that Callan isn't the one for her after all he's a manwhore but for the time being that will be enough for her.

      Womanizer is said to be book 4 in the Manwhore series but can be read as a standalone. Having not read the other books in the series I can say that I really enjoyed this book nonetheless and don't feel as though I missed out on anything having not read the other books in this series first.
      As soon as I read the sample for this book I knew I had to buy it and find out what happens next. I found myself unable to put this book down. I would tell myself I'll read just one more chapter and then put the book down but I found myself unable to stop and kept wanted to read just a bit more. Whether you have read the other books in this series or not I suggest reading this book.

Needing The Memories (The Rocker Series Novella) By: Terri Anne Browning

(N) Lana is his angel and Drake is her Demon. They're each others best friend, lover, and everything that they could always ask for and more. Their life hasn't always been perfect but as long as they have each other and their kids they are the happiest people in the world.
       Nothing can tear these two apart but Drake does have one regret. One shame in his life that every year at the same time eats away at him. Drake hates the man that he once was. There is this anger inside of Drake that comes from taking something from the woman who had given herself to Drake freely but he is unable to remember it. This year it's hitting Drake worse than ever before and is slowly beginning to drive him crazy. In order to stop this insanity Drake wants a do-over, he wants to be able to rewind time and give him and Lana that night over again.
      What Drake needs more than a do-over for that night is a new memory to replace the empty blackness that is trying to swallow him whole.

       So while I cannot say that Drake and Lana were my favorite couple throughout The Rocker series I still looked forward to how their story played out once the series ended with Forever Rockers and this novella did not disappoint. I could not put Needing The Memories down and loved reading more about Drake and Lana and the family that they have created together. 
      At the end of the novella Browning also included a Rocker series companion. This is basically a little cheat sheet of all of the main characters that we have met throughout the entire Rocker series as well as Browning's own feelings on each character and book. I liked the little companion at the end because it was good for people like me who skipped around in the series and didn't read all the books to find out what happened in the books that I didn't read. It was also an interesting thing to get Browning's thoughts on each book and the chapters. We were able to get her thoughts on which characters were her favorite and which she grew to love.

Kadence (Rockstar Series #7) By: Anne Mercier

(N) When bass guitarist Jace Warner receives an urgent message from his high school sweetheart to come home, the rocker drops what he's doing and immediately go to her. When he gets there Jace finds out his first love, the girl who stole his heart is dying from cancer but that isn't the biggest news of all. The reason she broke his heart was so Jace could go and live out his dream and not be forced to stay behind with her and the daughter he never knew he had. Now Jace is all this little girl really has left.
     After bonding with Kadence, his six year old daughter Jace can't help but try and be the best father he can for her daughter. But that is easier said than done when social worker Summer Stephens doesn't deem Jace's rockstar lifestyle fit for parenting. Summer believes all the stereotypes about rockstars, that their lives are all about sex, drugs, and rock & roll.
     Now it's up to Jace to convince Summer that Kadence is right where she belongs, at home with Jace at CFD. Jace is facing his fierces battle yet, trying to prove there's room in his life for music and the daughter he wants to share it all with.
   
     There are only a few times or instances where I will just buy a book as soon as it comes out without even reading the sample first, and Anne Mercier's Rockstar series is one of those times. And yet again she did not disappoint, once I started reading Kadence I just could not put this book down. If you haven't started reading this series yet then I suggest you start.

The Anatonmy of Us (WJM Book#2) By: Ameila Lafey

(N) When we last left off with Jane, Max and Wesley Max had just gotten in a car accident and left both Jane and Wesley behind while he went off to recover from the accident on his own.
       It's taken Max three and a half years to both fully heal and walk again after being in an accident that left him with little chance of ever walking again. Now that Max is physically back to what he once was it's time for him to find Wes and Jane so that they all can be together again. But getting back Wes and Jane isn't as easy as Max thought it would be. Wes wants nothing to do with Max, and Jane, Jane has spent the last few years raising a daughter by herself.
       The last three years has taken its toll on each of them and in order to come back together they will each have to fight harder than they ever did before.

      I have been waiting what seems like forever for this book to come out and while I cannot say that this book was worth the wait it was definitely something. I only say that because this book seemed to move at a slower pace than the previous book the Anatomy of Us. That being said this book still had its attention grabbing moments and had me wanting to find out what would happen next. While I did enjoy reading this book I do have to say that there were a lot of editing errors that at times were a bit distracting and took away from the story. Overall I still have to say that this is a series worth reading. 

The Fix Up By: Kendall Ryan

(N) Sterling Quinn is a British divorce lawyer who after spending years handling some many divorce cases is determined to forever stay a playboy. But Sterling's world gets turn upside down when he stands to inherit millions of dollars, there's just one catch; Sterling has six months to get married in order to get the inheritance. While Sterling doesn't want or need to money for himself he does know that the money could help with his mom, so he decides to go through with the project of finding a wife. And that is where Camryn come in.
        Camryn works in public relations and is put in charge of finding Sterling a wife which makes him completely off-limits. But the more time these two spend together the stronger the sexual tension between these two becomes. Camryn wants to keep a level head while trying to find Sterling a wife but Sterling wants to go all in with Camryn.

       The Fix Up was something that I was looking forward to reading but then when I started reading it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. One of the reasons of that could be because while I was reading this book other books can along that I wanted to read more. Or it could also be because The Fix Up had somewhat of a slow start but along the way it did end up getting better. Overall I do think that this book was a good read and one that I would recommend.

Mr. President By: Katy Evans

(N) Charlotte first met the President's son (Matthew or Matt) when they were both young. Matt promised Charlotte that he would never run for president and she promised that if he ever did then she would be there to stand by his side.
       Three terms later, an invitation to join Matthew Hamilton's presidential campaign arrives and it's the most thrilling opportunity that Charlotte has ever been a part of. While Charlotte doesn't have experience on her side she does have determination, determination to make a difference. And Matt is determined to win.
       Focused on the goal of becoming the next president Matt is ruthless, persuasive, and true. All eyes are on him and his popularity is only growing with each day. With all eyes on Matt he has to stay focused on the election, focused and single. But Matt isn't making it easy for Charlotte on keeping their relationship strictly professional and despite the risk if the two are caught together, neither can resist the feelings that they share for one another.
      The more time Matt and Charlotte spend together the more they begin to steal touches, glances, moments, and nights away. But while their connection may be undeniable the more time Charlotte and Matt spend together the more dangerous it is for her heart and his chances at winning the presidency.
   
       I found Mr. President to be a good book not a great book but a good one. There were some times where this book held my attention but there were also other times where I felt as though things were dragging on a bit. Overall I would recommend reading this book and I do have to say that I am waiting to find out what happens next for Charlotte and Matt.

Lying and Kissing By: Helena Newbury

(N)  Lying and Kissing was originally published as the serial Undercover (Seduced, Conflicted and Betrayed) and can now be read as one full-length story.
       Arianna is a self-proclaimed language geek working for the CIA. Arianna has been working a desk job for far too long and wants the chance to go out and be a field agent. When the opportunity arises for her to meet Luca, a Russian arms dealer and mobster, Arianna realizes just how far out of depth she really is.
      Before she even gets a chance to grasp what her first mission is Arianna is on her way to Moscow with orders to "accidentally" run into Luca again. Arianna has one job, to seduce Luca and find out exactly what his plans are. There's just one problem Arianna can't seem to control herself whenever she is around Luca and if he ever finds out who she really is, she's dead.

       This was yet another book that I could not put down. I'm glad that I was able to read this book as a standalone instead of a serial because I've never been a fan of serials unless they were already put together in one book. Either way I'm really glad that I've read this book and recommend it for others. Coming from someone who is not the biggest mobster book fan this book had just enough in it as well as the romance between Arianna and Luca throughout the entire book to really keep me entertained and not feel as though the whole book was around mob life. This book is definitely one you should give a try.

Like A F*cking Boss (Run The World Book 1) By: Quinn

(N) He's the boss while she's the booty call. During her last relationship Talia put everything she had into it but in return she got nothing. Now she's just trying to prove that she has what it takes to work among talented designers and architect for ARC Industries, trying to do everything she can to build a better future for herself. But then the new boss arrives, and that's when trouble follows. Now Talia finds herself becoming distracted by daydreams staring her boss Theo Solomon. But that's not Talia's only problem her smart mouth keeps seeming to pop up every time Theo's around.
      Soon those daydreams aren't just becoming dreams but reality. Talia becomes Theo's booty call. But due to her past relationship Talia is hesitant to accept that she will never be anything more than a secret affair.

      This book was a quick and easy read that was able to keep my attention for the whole book. With that being said the only thing I really didn't enjoy was it kind of ending pretty abruptly. It didn't end in a cliffhanger or anything like that but it just kind of ended. So it's left a little unclear if the next book in this series will be more of Theo and Talia or if Like a F*ucking Boss was it and the next book will focus on another couple. That being said I might just go ahead and read the next book in this series to find out.

Hudson (Fixed Book #4) By: Laurelin Paige

(N) We've read Alayna point of view on her relationship with Hudson and now it's Hudson's turn.
        Hudson Pierce has lived a life that only few could imagine having. He's rich, has immense power and has never wanted for anything. But with all the things Hudson has he's never experienced love and has rarely seen examples of it from his dysfunctional family. Having never really seen or experienced love Hudson has always been intrigued by the notion of it. He's studied, controlled, and manipulated love. But it wasn't until he met Alayna Withers that Hudson finally understood what love really meant.
      In Hudson, Hudson's past is revealed along with a more insightful look into the life long friendship between Hudson and Celia.
     
       I've read the entire Fixed series and completely loved it. So because of how much I loved this series I just had to read this book when I found out that it was the series told through Hudson's perspective. As you could see I was pretty excited to read this book and really see what Hudson was about. And I'm more than a little disappointed to say that I couldn't even make it through this whole book before I had to put it down. I thought that the story was going to be told one way and it went a different way. Before getting into this I had already figured that this would be more than just a retelling of the first book or all three but what I wasn't expecting was for this book to keep switching with almost each chapter to before and after. The befores was a lot about his past before he met Alayna and the afters were somewhat of the retelling of the first three books from Hudson's perspective.
      I've seen a lot of people give this book such a high ratings and reviews but I just couldn't do it, this book was just not for me.

A Beautiful Funeral (The Maddox Brothers #5) By: Jamie McGuire

(N) Eleven years to the day after eloping in Vegas with Abby, Special Agent Travis Maddox delivers his own vengeance and justice to mob boss Benny Carlisi. The Carlisis are Vegas' oldest and most violent crime family and murder of their boss the family is preparing to take vengeance not just against Travis or his Thomas (his older brother also working for the FBI) but the entire Maddox family.
      The secret that Thomas and Travis have been keeping from their family for the past decade is about to be revealed which will lead to the Maddoxes being at odd with each others for the first time. While the Maddoxes are no strangers to dealing with loss this time there's more at risk for their families than ever before. As the lies begin to surface brothers turn on brothers, wives are taking sides, and each family member will have to choose - let the fear tears them all apart or let it make them stronger.

      Beautiful Funeral is that last book in the Maddox Brothers series, and I was more than a little disappointed with how this book ended up playing out. The character's reaction is finding out the truth about Thomas and Travis' jobs just seemed like way too much. Then don't get me started on the ending, I knew going into this book with the word funeral in the title that it would only make sense for one of the characters to die but really that ending. It was all just a little too much for me and something that I really couldn't enjoy reading. Also as an added bonus each chapter was told from a different character's point of view, which made things a little hard to follow cause I didn't always remember who was telling the story when it changed every chapter. This just made things seem a little all over the place with so many people telling the story.
      I was not a fan of this book or the series. I'm still not sure why I ended up reading this book or the whole series when it seemed as though with each book in the series they just got worse and worse for me. Don't get me wrong this series started out well enough and I liked the first two books in the series (Beautiful Oblivion and Beautiful Redemption). But after those two books it seemed as though this series lost its spark and I could no longer care about what was going on with this series. Therefore, I have to say that this series really isn't worth reading.

Immortal Nights (Argeneau Book #24) By: Lynsay Sands

(N) Immortal Nights is the latest book in the Argeneau series.

      Abigail Forsythe's life hasn't been easy lately. Having just gone through watching her mother die and left with no money and no way to pay to go back to school Abigail decides to catch a flight with her pilot friend when he has to deliver a package to South America. What Abigail didn't expect to happen was finding a naked man locked in the plane's cargo hold. A very gorgeous man locked in a cage and when her instincts prompt her to set the man free the two soon end up having to rely on each other for survival. But this man isn't just any ordinary man, he's a man who leaves her body buzzing with need every time he touches her.
       Tomasso Notte knows that he's found his life mate in Abigail. Now all he wants to do is hold onto her. But they're miles away from civilization, being hunted by his abductors, and Abigail has no idea who Tomasso is or what his abilities are or why they have such a strong connection. But now that he has her in his sights Tomasso isn't going to let Abigail go.

       For most of the books in the Argeneau series I find myself unable to stop reading and always find myself for the most part being interested while reading the whole book. But for Immortal Nights I just could not find myself interested in it. While I did read this book in no time at all it didn't really do anything for me in keeping my attention and I found myself skimming through a lot of parts in the book. I found myself unable to get into Abigail and Tomasso's story and their connection and because of that I couldn't get into this book as a whole. Should you skip this book in the series probably but just fair warning if you do skip this book you might miss some things that may or may not be important for future books in this series.

Revived (Revved Series) By: Samantha Towle

(N) India Harris didn't have the best start in life. She along with her twin brother, Kit, were abandoned as babies and had to spend the rest of their lives in foster care with only having each other to rely on. Then at a young age India was taken advantaged of by a man she trusted which left her pregnant at the age of seventeen. Wanting to give her son a better life than the one she and Kit had, India worked to put herself through college and graduate with honors. Now at the age of thirty she's a highly respected therapist.
       Leandro Silva was at the top of his game as as a Formula One driver. Leandro had everything going for him, that is until an accident on the tracks leaves him staring death in the face. Now after enduring twelve months of physical therapy Leandro is now physically able to race but his mind is keeping him from getting back on the track. Frustrated and angry Leandro fills his days and nights with an endless amount of alcohol and women.
      With Leandro entering the last year of his contract he knows he has to race again or he will lose the one thing that he has spent his entire life working for. In order to get his livelihood back Leandro is forced into therapy, there he finds himself in the office of Dr. India Harris and falling for the uptight therapist.
       India herself begins to develop feelings for her patient, the angry Brazilian race car driver. Knowing that ethically she cannot fall for her patient India does everything she can to try to keep her feelings at bay.
       
       Revived is the second book in the Revved series. I read the first book in this series and fell completely in love with it but the same cannot be said for this book. This book just didn't have the same affect on me as the first book in this series did. I only managed to get less than half way through this book before I finally just gave up reading it. Revived wasn't that good of a read and I just couldn't finish reading it.

Fury By: Alison Ryan

(N) Logan Lowery's a rising soccer player. Her whole life she has had this dream of going to the Olympics. Just as it seemed like her dream and the chance to join the US Women's National Team was within reach life took a devastating turn of events. But then a chance run-in with Solomon Kano would end up being just the thing that Logan needed.
       Solomon Kano has ambitions of becoming an Olympic champion of his own as well as his own tragic past that he doesn't want to share. But that's fine with Logan because Solomon's not the only one who has secrets and a heart to guard.
       Logan was always taught you don't play a hand unless you are sure you can win it. But with Solomon it might just be worth the risk.
   
       I could not put this book down. I have finally got around to reading a good book again and this one takes the cake. Fury got my attention from the moment I started reading and held it all the way until the very end.
       One of the aspects that I loved about this book was that it was split up into three different categories; the birth of champions, the making of champions and when champions rise. The birth of champions was when you really got to read about Logan and Solomon's story of where they started out in terms of their parents and just how different their lives would soon become. The making of champions was Logan and Solomon's own stories on their rise to becoming the Olympians they have always dreamed of being. And the book ends with when champions rise, it's Logan and Solomon's story of what happens when they can both see their dreams within reach.
        It was such an interesting twist reading the lives of Logan's and Solomon's parents stories from the parents themselves instead of from Logan and Solomon. As a reader you are better able to see just what went into making these two the people that they would become before they were even born. With each section I found myself getting more and more interested in their story and before I knew it the story was over. This is definitely a book that I would recommend reading.

You and I Alone (Book 1) By: Melissa Toppen

(N) Twenty-one year old Anna Blake has lived her whole life by one simple rule, never get attached. Having learned early one in life that nothing in life is guaranteed, she knows that the one person she can ever truly count on is herself. But when she accepts a job as a dancer at one of the most secretive and exclusive clubs in the country she meets the one man who makes her begin to question everything that she ever thought she knew.
      Bentley Reed is exactly the type of man that women crave. He's rich, powerful, and sexy, the complete definition of a playboy. A former soccer star turned business mogul Bentley is used to getting what he wants and what he wants is Anna (known in those circles by her stage name Logan). Bentley has never met a woman like Anna before and he just can't seem to let her go no matter how hard she tries to tell him that she doesn't want him.
      The attraction these two have for one another in undeniable and neither could deny that just from their first encounter. When Anna agrees to one night with Bentley she has no idea that that one night could mean so much more. Bu no matter her feelings Anna is determined to walk away from a man who is insistent on not letting her go.

      This was yet another book that started out on a good note and then slowly went down for me. You and I Alone had a good beginning but I soon found myself becoming less interested in the story and in the relationship between Anna and Bentley as time went on. Don't get me wrong there were some good chapters and pages in this book but overall it was not that good. This wasn't the best book that I had read but it also wasn't the worst. But it was still a book that I have no inclination to read again and one I wouldn't recommend reading.

Always Have By: Claire Kingsley

(N)  Kylie's best friend Braxton is the hottest man that she has ever known. He's got a rock hard body and a smile that melts every woman that he meets. Every woman that is except for Kylie.
        Kylie is anxious to get out of the dating world and have a relationship with someone that is real. Despite the way Braxton tends to suck the air out of her lungs, Kylie knows that he is nothing but trouble. Braxton is just another player and Kylie doesn't want to be just another notch on his belt.
        But Braxton isn't the man that Kylie thinks he is. The real reason that he's with so many different women is simple. Braxton can't be with the woman he wants so he goes towards women who is knows he could never see himself with fully. Because the woman he really wants to be with is Kylie.
        Braxton wants to be with Kylie, he wants to have more than just a friendship with her. But there's always something in the way of that friendship ever becoming more. So he stays her friend, watching Kylie date men who are too stupid to realize just how good she is. But there's always this worry that the next guy will realize just how special Kylie is and will take her away from him forever.
 
       Always Have was yet another book that started out on a good note but after a while it began to lose my interests. At first I was into this book but after a while it started to sound like other friends turned lovers books that I have read. But the problem was, this one just didn't hold a candle to others ones that I have read and that made it hard to care about what I was reading. In my opinion Always Have is a book that could be skipped if you want to read a book like this I think that there are better ones out there. 

Bound By Hatred (Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles Book 3) By: Cora Reilly

(N) When Gianna watched her sister Aria get married to a man she barley knew Gianna promised herself that she wouldn't let the same thing happen to her.
       But when Matteo 'The Blade' Vitiello set his eyes on Gianna at his brother wedding he knew he had to have her and Rocco Scuderi was more than willing to give Matteo his daughter. But Gianna has other plans, she has no intention of marrying someone for any reason other than for love. So a few months before the wedding Gianna escapes her bodyguards and runs away. She has enough money to flee to Europe where she begins her new life, never staying in once place for too long. But staying undetected when the mob is searching for you isn't easy, it takes everything in Gianna to not get caught especially when one of the best hunters and assassins is after her, Matteo Vitiello.
      But after six months on the run Gianna is finally caught in Munich and what's worse Matteo and a couple of her father's soldiers catch her with another man. And despite her pleas the soldiers kill the man she's with, and Gianna is forced back home and forced to marry Matteo. Gianna is determined to make life with her husband a living hell but Matteo is a master of games and he isn't going to make life easy for Gianna.

      Bound By Hatred is the third book in the Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles, I skipped over the second book because I was not that interested in that particular story line. But this one book I really wanted to read because I enjoyed reading the first book so much and reading the dynamic between Gianna and Matteo. But while reading this book I found it to be not as interesting as I thought it would be. Gianna and Matteo's story was no where near as good as Aria and Luca's story. So I found myself becoming uninterested in their story and just skipped over to the end. But even that couldn't hold my interest. Needless to say this was not that good of a book to read.

Mr. Beautiful (Up In The Air #4) By: R.K. Lilley

(N)  So I'm finally getting around to reading the final book in the Up In The Air series. This book was told through both James' and Stephan's points of views on some of the things that happened in the first three books of the series. It was noted that this book was a continuation of the series but it's really more of a retelling of the first three books in the series just told through the males point of views with a little extra thrown in at the end. Since Mr. Beautiful is the telling of James' and Stephan's points of views of the first three books there are times/chapters where the same situation is told twice both through their different perspectives. For example, what happened after the shooting that occurred towards the end of book three. The events that take place in the hospital are told through both James' point of view and Stephan's point of view, giving the reader a better understanding of what James and Stephen were going through at that time.
       There was one thing that I did not like about this book. First I just want to point out that this book ends at about just under 70% which isn't a bad thing but I just wanted to point out that it was never mentioned that the book ended before 100%. The part that I really didn't like about this book was after the book was said to be over out of nowhere all these teasers for different books came in which was fine but then it went back to James' point of view like the book wasn't actually over. It was so confusing that after the first couple of teasers I gave up trying to figure out what was going on and just stopped reading the rest of the book. It seemed like towards the end of the book Lilley had the idea of putting teasers of other books she wrote in but it wasn't executed well at all, and ended up being just a big mess. Overall I think that this book isn't worth reading and doesn't really do much in contributing to the story. 

Shaken - A Football Romance By: D.G. Whiskey

(N) Juliette refers to him as Cocky because he of his cocky attitude and she doesn't want to know his real name. They met on spring break five years ago and had a great time together. Juliette and Cocky had a perfect connection, the kind of connected that everyone wants to have. But they went to  different schools that were across the country from each other, so they decided they would only have  have this one week together. Even though they know they only have a week together that didn't make it any easier when it came time to leave and each go their separate ways.
       Now five years later Juliette is a PhD candidate studying concussions with L.A.'s football team. Before starting the study Juliette had to sign a code of conduct stating that she wouldn't get involved with any of the players which wouldn't have been a problem for her if it wasn't for the team's new quarterback, Cocky.
       To Travis Juliette will always be Sexy. Travis came to LA to win a championship, nothing else mattered. That was until he saw Sexy again. When they first met she wouldn't tell him her name so he called her Sexy. It was only supposed to be one night together but she ended up stealing his heart. Juliette thought that Travis would just forget about her once their spring break week was over but he never did. Now that she's back in his life Travis isn't going to let her go without a fight.
    
      Shaken is yet another book that has a bonus book included in it. I have said this before but I am not the person that likes having the bonus books included, mostly because with the bonus books included you never get a sense of how much of the book you have left. These books also give you a false sense in just how long the book is if you are not aware of the bonus book. Also the bonus books are usually either books I already have in my library or books that I have no interest in reading.
       As for the book Shaken itself this I found to start off on the right foot but as the book went on it started to bore me and towards the end of it I was just skimming through the whole thing just wanting to find out how it ended and how Travis and Juliette's relationship would eventually be found out because you know it was inevitable. While I won't give away how the league found out about Travis and Juliette's relationship I will say that the whole thing was anti-climatic. I thought that the author was going to go one way on how their relationship would be found out but the author decided to go a different way, and let's just say it wasn't a better way. This is a book that can really just be skipped.

Trust Honor Love (Blind Vows Book 1) By: J. M. Witt

(N) Trust Honor Love is about a martial experiment. Lucy Roberts is sick of the dating scene and especially what, or rather who she can never have, the Kerrigan brothers, specifically twins Will and Heath. A bad run in with Heath proves everything to Lucy that she already knew about him; he's not Will. Needing a change Lucy agrees to a new experiment, she lets of panel of experts pick out her future husband. And agrees to first meeting him when she reaches the alter.
      Heathcliff Kerrigan is convinced that Lucy is meant to be his and not Will's. Lucy and Heath's family ties go back decades, just like his love for her. After his attempts to make her his go wrong he decides to let her go. Also needing something new Heath also agrees to be part of the same marriage experiment.
      Trust has them taking new risks. Honor is what gets them down the aisle. And love will be their greatest test.
 
     Trust Honor Love is told through three parts: trust, honor, and love. Each of these parts is told through three different ways.  Trust is told solely through Lucy point of view, honor through Heath's point of view and it ends with Love. Love is told through both Heath's and Lucy's point of views. This book was another surprise for me. I was not expecting this book to be as good as it was, it was definitely a pleasant surprise. But I do have to mention that towards the end of the book it did seem as though Witt put in some last minute unnecessary drama just for the sake of things and that little drama I could have done without. But besides that this book ended up being a good read and a book worth reading. 

Craving Lucy (Lucy & Harris Book 2) By: Terri Anne Browning

(N) One kiss shared between friends can change everything. Now there's no going back, they can only move forward. Things between Lucy and Harris are different now and the only thing left to ask is; where do they go from there?

      So I'm finally getting around to reading the next book in this series. The Lucy and Harris series is a spin-off series on The Rocker series. And I first want to say that I am a big fan of The Rockers series, my favorites books are the ones featuring the original five rockers. But while I loved reading those books this one just did not do it for me. While the first book in this series was a good read this one just did not cut it. I ended up just skimming through most of this book because it was just so boring. And then with that ending it was just wrong, I already knew that this book was going to end on a cliffhanger but the way it ended was still just so wrong.
        Another issue I have is both with this book and with the series, from what I have seen from the fist two books that I have read is that this series could have just been told in one long book, maybe even two. I can safely say that between what happened in the last book and what happened in this one it all could have just been told in one book. But instead of just being one or even two books Lucy and Harris' story is being told in four parts, two novellas and one full length. The four books in the series  isn't even all that true because the third book in this series isn't even about Lucy and Harris. The third book is instead about Lucy and Harris' best friends and their relationship together. So needless to say I will not be coming on with this series and if you want to read a series by this author I say read The Rocker series instead.

Anti Stepbrother By: Tijan

(N) Summer Stoltz is a college freshman who has been crushing and pining for her stepbrother, Kevin along with the rest of the girls from her high school for years, long before her father married Kevin's mother. Coming to college meant that Summer could finally have a chance to be with Kevin. But things don't go according to plan, especially when Kevin ends up being a jerk. On her first night Summer ends up at a party where she meets one of Kevin's fraternity brothers, Caden. When Summer first meets Caden she labels him an *sshole. But over time Summer begins to realize that Caden is more than just the arrogant, smug, alpha that he appears to be. When Summer keeps running into Caden he's actually nice to her and Summer's option of Caden begins to change. There's is just something about Caden he's real, honest and isn't one to hold anything back. There more time they spend together the more these two become friends, real genuine friends.
       Things between Caden and Summer begin to heat up the more time they spend together. For Caden hanging out with Summer calms him, something that is not easily done. For Summer being with Caden is bringing out a new person, someone who isn't so afraid of being honest. Caden soon realizes that he wants to be with Summer but he is not sure if Summer is really over her stepbrother. Meanwhile Summer does have actual feelings for Caden but convincing him that it has nothing to do with her stepbrother is easier said than done.

       This was yet another hit for Tijan. For those of you who don't already know I am a huge fan of Tijan and her Fallen Crest series, and while Anti-Stepbrother is not a part of that series I read this book just because of how much I love this author. And I loved Anti-Stepbrother, in a way Caden kind of reminded me of Mason from the Fallen Crest series in a lot of ways. And this could be one of the reasons why I loved this book so much. But as much as it did remind me of the Fallen Crest series this book was still its own book and it was one that I could not put down. I found myself yet again staying up late at night, longer than I should have been because I just could not put this book down. If your a fan of Tijan or of the Fallen Crest series then this is the book for you.

Neighbor Dearest By: Penelope Ward

(N) After getting dumped the last thing Chelsea needed was to live next door to someone who reminded her of her ex-boyfriend Elec. But Damien is an even hotter version of Elec. Before getting to know her neighbor Chelsea gives him the name "Angry Artist" but his attitude isn't the only thing Chelsea doesn't like about him. It's also his two massive dogs that are keeping Chelsea up at night with their barking. It seemed as though Damien wanted nothing to do with Chelsea. That is until one night when Chelsea hears laughter coming through a hole in her bedroom wall. Damien has been listening to Chelsea's phone sessions with her therapist. The sexy artist next door has been listening to Chelsea as she divulged all her deepest secrets and insecurities. From there the two get to talking, Damien sets Chelsea straight with tips to get over her breakup, something her therapist had yet to do. Soon the two become friends but from the beginning Damien makes it clear that they could only be friends. Something that is made all the more hard when Chelsea begins falling for Damien anyways. As much as Damien pushes Chelsea away she knows that he feels the same way about her as she does about him. But you can only push a person for long before they begin to move away.
         
         Neighbor Dearest is connected to Ward's other books Stepbrother Dearest and RoomHate. While these books are connected you do not have to read either book before reading this one. I just mention this because some of the characters and references that are mention in this book are directly connected to what happened in the other books that Ward has written. While you can read those books, if you choose not to read those books you are not missing another major from this one.
        I found Neighbor Dearest to be such a good read I found myself at just under half way through the book wondering what else could happen in the book considering that so much did happen in the first half and I still had so much of the book left to go. At one point during the second half of the book one of the characters states, "it's like everything I thought I knew about this situation just went out the window." And this statement really describes how I felt after learning the truth as to why these two couldn't be together at first. I thought I knew why these two couldn't be together but then Ward came in and gave this curve ball as to way they couldn't be together. As good as this book was I do have to say that there was some slow parts towards the end of the book. I think it just lagged from the great first half of the book, but overall this was a great read. And I book that I really think people should read.

Off Key: A Wreckless Abandon Novel By: CJ Martin

(N) It started with an agreement made between two friends, a friends with benefits arrangement. And this arrangement only had three rules: one, no hooking up with anyone else, if one wants out at any point you tell the other no hard feeling. Two, we always use protection. Three, no one can know about their arrangement.
      Brandon Kresge has it all. He's got a hot music career, a hot body and tons of adoring fans all wanting a piece of him. To the rest of the world his life is perfect but looks aren't always what they seem. Years of experience has kept Brandon skilled at hiding the truth, from the media, his friends, and even his band mates. But all of that begins to change when he meets her. She is the first person to break down every one of Brandon's walls.
      At twenty-three years old Brynn Richer has yet to figure out her life. All she wants is to dance, a decision that her mother is persistently against. Despite this and the cards stacked against her becoming a professional dancer Brynn moves to New York to pursue her passion. This one decision causes her path to cross with the sexy and troubled lead singer of Wreckless Abandon. Brynn knows that Brandon will do nothing but break her heart, and knows that she should steer clear of him but the problem is that Brynn is powerless against Brandon.
      What begins as a harmless friendship soon leads to the lines blurring between friendship and love. Soon the rules set in place to keep their friendship are stripped away and they are forced to realize there may be more to them than just friendship.
      Off Key was a surprisingly good book. I wasn't really sure what to expect from this given that the past few book samples I read I hadn't enjoyed. So when this one came around the sample got me, and from there I just could not stop reading.  And I think that this is a book that should be read.

Mr. Right By: J. S. Cooper

(N) Some nights are meant to remain a secret. Some nights are meant to be for fun. And some nights are only meant to last one night. It was never supposed to happened but they couldn't stop themselves. And soon that one night turned into more. But there was just one problem, they were never meant to be together. He was her Mr. Right, but he shouldn't be. However, he is the one man that she cannot get out of his head. As much as she wants to be with him, he's the one man who could ruin her.
       While they share the secret of their relationship together he also has secrets of his own. But his secrets are bigger, bigger than anything that she could handle. A secret so big that it could ruin everything.
       First off I would just like to start off by stating that I did not read this book in its entirety mostly because I just couldn't. I was having so many issues with this book that I just could not deal with reading the entire thing. There was just so many problems with this book that made it so hard for me to enjoy it.
        One of the many problems I had with this book was that this book mostly consisted of the two main characters' thoughts and not much on them speaking to each other. I found myself wondering multiple times how many pages would I have to read through before someone actually said something aloud. Another problem I had was that Jess was just made out to be such a naive and pushover character that there was no way the reader could root for someone like her. She let herself get treated like crap and took it without ever really standing up for herself. (Spoiler) Another issue I had was the ending, Evan literally broke Jess' heart but she forgave him just in time for the ending. To me what Evan did to her was not something that Jess should have easily forgiven but she did. All Evan had to do was just profess his love for Jess and she forgave him, even though he did something that not most women would forgive so easily. In that aspect I really feel as though this was just an unrealistic and unsatisfying ending to an even more disappointing book. This book is definitely not worth reading or the price it is asking for.

A Beautiful Sight By: Sandi Lynn

(N) When Aubrey Callahan was just eight years old she lost two important things in a car accident: her parents and her eyesight, something that most people take for granted. Because she lost her eyesight Aubrey had to learn to experience the world around her differently than other girls her age. Even so Aubrey learned to accept the life that she had been given and over the years has learned to live life to the fullest. Growing up blind Aubrey had to learn to give up on love after one to many failed relationships ending due to the guys not being able to handle her being blind. But then she met a man who like her had experienced a tragedy but unlike Aubrey he learned to keep a part of himself from the world.
       The moment Ethan Klein laid eyes on Aubrey he knew that he wanted her. Aubrey's beautiful, uncomplicated, and all he needed was one night with her. After all Ethan is a one-night kind of guy. People refer to Ethan as "The Iceman" because he's controlling, ruthless, and doesn't care about other people's feelings. But then he had one night with Aubrey, and that one night led to feelings and nightmares that Ethan had bottled up and kept hidden for years. Even though Ethan is a man who can afford the best of anything and everything the one thing he can't buy is a way to stop his past demons from resurfacing. Aubrey can't see him for the man is really is but Ethan knows that she deserves better, he just can't seem to let himself forget about her.
       Sandi Lynn is slowly becoming another one of my favorite authors. While I've only read a few of her books so far each one I read I cannot put down. While reading A Beautiful Sight I just had to keep reading to find out what would happen next. This was yet another book that I finished in no time at all and one that I would recommend others give a read.

Quarter Mile Hearts (An American Muscle Book 1) By: Jenny Siegel

(N) Twenty-four year old Leigh Storm returns home to a town she was once desperate to leave after her father gets injured in an accident. And it only becomes a matter of time before Leigh runs into Max 'Manwhore' Morgan. Max is the last person that Leigh wants to see. It's been four years since Leigh last saw Max but there's no denying that there is still some chemistry between these two even after all those years apart. When Max sees Leigh again he makes it clear it her that he isn't about to let her run off on him again, even if he is the one type of guy Leigh vowed that she would never date, a street racer.
      Racing is the reason as to why Leigh's family got torn apart so Leigh decided long ago that this was not the type of life that she wanted for herself. But when a wager gone wrong threatens her dad's livelihood, Leigh will have to go against everything she swore she would never do.
      This was yet another one of my books that I got for free and have had it in my to-read pile for a while now but found other books that I wanted to read first. When I first started reading this book I found it to be a little interesting and something I found myself enjoying to read. With that being said towards the end I did end of skipping over it a bit because it was just a little much at the end. What seemed to first be going at a good pace slowly lead to a lot happening all at once and I found myself unable to enjoy reading this.

My Best Friend's Brother By: Hazel Kelly

(N) They called themselves the Three Musketeers, twins Izzy and Shane and their best friend Andi. These three have been friends since they were seven years-old when Izzy and Shane moved in next door to the lonely Andi. Now all three are at college, while Shane and Andi go to the same college  Izzy goes to a college that's just over an hour away. When things have gone too far with her current boyfriend Andi goes to Shane for help and from there Andi and Shane's friendship begins to change into something more.
       Shane has always been protective of Andi but when she comes to him after a scuffle with her boyfriend it triggers something in Shane. Andi has had feelings for Shane but always knew that there was no way that he could feel the same way about her, that is until Shane kisses her and then Andi doesn't know how he feels.
       I really enjoyed reading My Best Friend's Brother, it definitely kept my attention throughout the entire book and had me wanting to read what would happen next. This book is told through both Shane and Andi's points of views and while most of the chapters are told in the present there are a few flashbacks that take place throughout the book. Usually I am not a fan of books with flashbacks or chapters told in the past but I have to say that in this book it worked. There was just enough told in the past to make it work and the flashbacks didn't just come out of nowhere like it has for most books that I have read. My Best Friend's Brother is definitely a book that I would recommend giving a read.

Stealing Home By: Nicole Williams

(N) Allie is the only woman working for a professional baseball team, which doesn't make her life any easier. Allie is the San Diego Shock's newest athletic trainer meaning she works long hours, does endless traveling and has to ward off players' advances. Given that she is the only woman in a man's world she has to work twice as hard as her male counterparts and yet Allie is still the subject to many rumors about how 'lucky' she is to have earned such a dream position. Because of this Allie can't so much as look at any of the players a certain way as to be taken seriously by everyone.
      Not everyone feels the same way, number eleven Luke Archer wants more from Allie than for her to look at him a certain way, much more. Luke is at the top of his game, the star player of San Diego's Shock and he doesn't let the fear of striking out keep him from playing the game. This is Luke's motto, something that he applies to both on and off the field no one is immune to him, that is except for Allie. Allie doesn't seem to think of Luke in any way except as just another player on the team.
      Luke is a player and in Allie's experience, all players are the same. And she is not going to risk her job or her heart to another player, no matter how different Luke seems to be. But as Allie comes to know Luke she discovers that the man who the public sees is a whole different person than the real Luke Archer.  The real Luke Archer seems to be too good to be true and maybe he is. Because when Allie is told the stories of the player Luke Archer, she must decide who to believe - the man or the rumors.
      Stealing Home was another interesting and good read. I managed to read this book in just two days. This was another book that kept my attention throughout the entire time I was reading and I could not seem to put it down. This is a book that I think is worth reading.

Scarred By Love By: C.A. Harms

(N)  Riley thought that she had found the perfect guy for her that is until he became aggressive and his behavior became too much for Riley to handle. Hurt and alone Riley turned to her brothers, her protectors but nothing could protect Riley from herself. Feeling alone and hurt Riley withdrew from the world and hid not wanting to fall in love again.
        But Zander, lead singer and guitar player with the sexy voice has his sights set on Riley. And even though at first Riley pushes Zander away Zander's not one to give up once he made up his mind about something.
        Riley has been guarded and hesitant when it comes to guys especially bad guys as it was a bad guy who shattered her heart the last time. But Riley soon begins to realize that Zander isn't the type of guy she originally thought he was. In fact Zander just might be the type of guy that a girl like Riley needs. Even though Zander and Riley might be good for each other they both have suffered their own heartache and that could prove to draw a wedge between the two.
        I found Scarred By Love to be an interesting read. I say this because this book has been on my list of books to read for a while now but I always found another book that I wanted to read first. While some of those books turned out to be good not all of them were and so when it came to reading this one I had my doubts. This was one of the few books that I got so into that I didn't even realize how much I had actually read until I looked down and saw the actual progress. I would have finished the whole thing in one sitting but it was getting late and I had to wake up early the next morning. Scarred By Love is definitely a book I think people should read.

Go Deep By: Bella Love-Wins

(N) Slade 'Slaughter' Clark is a southern football star in his senior year of college. After college Slade is going straight through to the NFL. He has women following him around as well as fans, coaches, and sports agents all of whom know that he is the best at what he does. Everyone wants Slade, everyone that is except for one person, Cassidy Greyson. Cassidy is an 'uptight' cheerleader, Slade's brother's best friend and a fellow student is a few of his classes. Now Slade will spend his senior year getting a piece of Cassidy.
      Cassidy Greyson has worked her butt off for three years at school and during summers so that she could graduate early and get out of Louisiana. Cassidy's only a cheerleader because it was a family tradition and what was expected from her. Cassidy's older sister was a cheerleader who fell for an NFL star and Cassidy does not want to follow in her footsteps. It is for this reason as to why Slade doesn't have a chance with her. Cassidy has avoided letting herself fall for Slade. But that all begins to change when their business professor partners Slade and Cassidy up for a major project. Now the two are spending more time together and as time goes on it becomes harder for Cassidy not to fall for Slade.
      Go Deep was one of the free books that I got and yet again I was not impressed by it. I found myself getting only to about halfway through with the book before I just started skimming through the rest of the it. And even then I was only skimming through just to see how it ended. And then when it did end I was like 'that was it?' Needless to say this was not a book that I enjoyed reading and won't be reading again anytime soon.

When You're Back (Rosemary Beach #12) By: Abbi Glines

(N)  A chance meeting has turned into a whirlwind romance for Reese and Mase as Reese prepares to move in with Mase on his family ranch in Texas. After her recent discovery that she has a family she never knew about and moving in with Mase, Reese is finally able to move away from her dark past of horror and into a new and shiny future. But moving in with Mase was a lot better in theory than in action.
       Mase's cousin Aida has made it her mission to make Mase see just how wrong Reese is for him. Aida has been raised to think of Mase as her cousin, but it's clear to anyone who can see (expect for Mase that this) that Aida doesn't love Mase as a cousin should but instead as something more.
       Then there's also Captain, a stranger who keeps seeming to pop up in Reese's life and is someone who has connections both in Dallas and in Rosemary Beach. Captain is hot, mysterious, and has absolutely no filter. Captain isn't afraid to tell Reese exactly how it is when it comes to Mase, even if it's something that she really does not want to hear.
        As Aida and Captain both work their own ways into keeping Mase and Reese apart, Reese's past begins to make an appearance again, leading to shocking truths that will forever change both Mase and Reese.
       After waiting a very long time for this book to become available at the library and waiting to read the second half to Mase and Reese's story I'm finally got a chance to read this book. And I have to say that the wait was well worth it, When You're Back was actually a good book to read. I found this surprising because the last few Rosemary Beach stories I read where not that great but this one was. It kept my attention throughout the entire time. Mase and Reese's story is one that I really think is worth reading in this series, they make for an interesting couple.

Bad Boy's Cinderella By: Raleigh Blake

(N)  Kylie has a list of things that she needs in order to get her life back together; get a new job, save money for her father, to stop being jealous of her best friend's recent wedding, and to stop obsessing over Reade Lennox. Reade Lennox is this gorgeous all-American with good looks. Last year Reade was the MVP of the Super Bowl. And has been on the pages of every tabloid in the country for almost every day. But Reade isn't picture perfect, he gets into bar brawls, has problems with the team, and with every new week comes a new conquest for Reade. Kylie is the last thing that Reade needs in her life but she still cannot seem to get him out of her mind. While Kylie might not want to be his Reade does and he's not planning on letting her go so easily.
       Bad Boy Cinderella was a short read which I finished in no time at all. I found this book just to be an okay read, it wasn't good and it wasn't great either. I finished this book and I was fine with the ending but I don't think that this would be a book that I would seriously want to read again. Or one that I would say is a must read. 

Big Rock By: Lauren Blakely

(N) Spencer is a hot as sin playboy who is all over the New York gossip columns for being seen with so many different women. Spencer sees nothing wrong with his lifestyle but his father does and he wants Spencer to cool it. Spencer's father has some conservative investors who want to buy his father's Fifth Avenue jewelry store but in order for this investment to go through Spencer needs to look the part of a committed guy. While Spencer sees nothing wrong with his life for his father's sake Spencer will go through with this lie. So Spencer asks his best friend and business partner Charlotte to be his fiancee for the next week. Charlotte agrees having her own reasons for saying yes to Spencer's offer.
       Pretty soon all the pretending to be a couple in public leads the two to no longer pretending in the bedroom. And soon the feelings that these two have been faking for each other becomes real
       For Big Rock I really did try to get into this book and even when I wasn't feeling it I still kept reading thinking 'hey maybe it gets better.' But no I just couldn't do it, I couldn't get into it. I tried I really did to like it, I don't know why I tried so hard to like it but I did and I just couldn't make it through this book. I finally gave up after about halfway through cause I just couldn't get myself to care anymore about this book or about what would happen next. This book was just not the book for me.

The Anatomy of Jane (WJM Book 1) By: Amelia Lefay

(N) Jane, Jane has always been on her own. She is used to her life consisting of nothing but work, keeping Allen out of trouble, and if she has some extra time then sleep. Then she meets Max and Wesley when she becomes their maid.

      Max, Everyday more than half a million people tune in to watch Max's show. These viewers trust him, Max is the only son of the prominent Emerson family. However, Max likes to believe that his viewers trust him because he is so honest with the news that he reports on. Max is honest with everything he reports on but what's he's not honest about is himself. Max has been in a relationship with a man for four years now and no one knows about it...until her.
      Wesley, There are only three things that Wesley wants. First, to have Maxwell Emerson and Jane Chapman both in his bed. Second, to be the best chef in the county. Third, to figure out how to simultaneously get the first and second things that he wants without anyone getting hurt.
      Three people, three ideas on how this relationship should go and one love story.
      While I really enjoyed reading this book the author definitely needs an editor. I found so many spelling and grammatical errors that at times these errors took away from what I was reading. Aside from those errors this book was actually a really good book to read and I cannot wait till the next books comes out later this year to find out what exactly will happen next.

The Crown (The Selection #5) By: Kiera Cass

(N) When Eadlyn was first told that she would be holding her own Selection she didn't believe that there was any way that she would fall in love with one or any of her thirty-five suitors. She spent the first few weeks of the competition just counting down the days until she could send them all home.
       As the selection continues Eadlyn still finds herself unsure on if she'll find the same fairytale ending that her parents had twenty years ago. But as she becomes more and more forced into the spotlight Eadlyn begins to realize that she doesn't want to be in the spotlight alone. And as more time goes on a surprising suitor finds his way into her heart and soon Eadlyn must make an impossible choice between what she must do and what she wants to do. A choice Eadlyn never thought that she would have to make.
       In the end I was pretty surprised with Eadlyn's choice of who she wanted to be her husband. I had this whole idea that it would be one person throughout the first book and then with this book everything completely changed and it turned out to be someone completely different, someone unexpected. I'll give the author props here for doing the unexpected but overall I still have the say that the original story, The Selection, was a better story.

White Tiger (Shifters Unbound #8) By: Jennifer Ashley

(N)  For twenty years, Kendrick a white tiger Shifter (rare in the shifter community) has been the Guardian and leader of un-Collared Shifters. These shifters have spent their lives living in secret and in fear of being forced into Shiftertowns. When Kendrick's un-Collared Shifters are discovered they are forced to flee and in doing so get separated from each other. Now Kendrick is more desperate than ever to protect his shifters. His only salvation is with a beautiful stranger.
      Lonely waitress Addison Price is has been working at a diner in the middle of nowhere for years now. And in that time Addison has seen her fair share of unusual drifters come and go but none of them has captivated and intimidated her quite the same like the imposing man who happens to walk around with a broadsword on his back. Then one night when he risks everything to protect her, Addison's fears for him turn into something more. Now Addison's change of feelings has caused her to want to learn more about her savior and the desire to save him in the same way that he saved her. This desire makes her all the more willing to help this crushingly handsome tiger and his cubs in their quest to continue living in freedom.
      This was yet another hit for the Shifters Unbound series. At first I was a little unsure while reading this but after a while things started to turn up and I could not put it down. So while this book does have a slow start it does get better and it does manage to keep you interested in reading more. Yet again I cannot wait until the next book in this series comes out.

      Despite all her fears Aria goes through with the marriage. Aria has grown up with men like Luca all her life, she knows that even those with the coldest of hearts has a heart and Aria has every intention of working her way into Luca's.
      I first went into this book just reading it and not expecting much because I did get it for free but every so often a free book comes along that surprises me and this one was it. Once I started reading I found myself unable to put this book down and managed to finish it in one day. I never seemed to want to put this book down and when I did it became very hard to find a place where I could leave and not want to immediately come back to find out what would happen next. This is defiantly a book that I would say to give a read.

Ths Summer Games: Settleing the Score By: R.S. Grey

(N) Andie is an Olympic rookie who's about the play in her first games. Andie has spent most of her live on the field in her cleats instead of between the sheets like other girls her age. For the last twenty-one years Andie's Friday nights has consisted of her blocking shots on the field instead of going out and taking shots at parties. But now that she's in Rio she's ready to experience for herself if all the rumors she's heard about the Olympic Village are true: the athletes are all sex crazed maniacs, the committee passes out condoms like candy, and the games continue long after all the medals have been handed out.
      As Andie begins walking this new line between rumor and reality she walks right in the same path as Frederick Archibald. Frederick's a decorated Olympic swimmer and owner of a sexy British accent. He's also unavailable and the saying "it's complicated" doesn't even begin to explain how complicated his relationship and life really is. In other words Frederick Archibald is 100% off limits.
       It doesn't matter how good-looking he is, or how much Andie cannot seem to stop thinking about him, Andie fully intends to keep her head clear and her focus on the soccer field. But the Olympic village is small and everywhere Andie goes there Frederick happens to be.
       I found The Summer Games to be a good book, not a great one but a good one. For the most part it held my attention and I was curious to see what would happen next. So I would say that I would recommend giving this book a read through.
