Steal My Breath By: Nina Levine

(N) To Callie, Luke Hardy is bossy as fuck. Moody too. But she's also had a thing for him since the two first met. Callie spends half her time arguing with Luke and the other half drooling over him. And now she's screwed all because she slept with Luke and decided that she wanted a whole lot more than just sex. Only problem is, Luke has a secret she never knew, the kind of secret that messed everything up.
     For Luke, Callie St James likes to argue with him over everything. It irritates the hell out of him. Bur she also turns him on like no other woman ever has. There's only one problem with that, he can't date her. And now he's gone and screwed it all up by sleeping with her.

     When I first read the sample for Steal My Breath I just knew that this was a book that I could really get into. But somewhere also the line things changed and I found myself not caring about the story as much as I probably should be. Don't get me wrong I still finished the book and read through it all, but that was with me skimming through some pages and not really giving the book as my attention as I continued on with the story. In the end this book was just not for me.

The Secret's Out (Hawks MC: Caroline Springs Charter Book 1)


(N) Moving to Melbourne for university Josie Alexander knew the transition would be hard. She just didn't realize how difficult it would be until things turn ugly. Damaged by a past that leaves her struggling with physical contact, her brave move to start fresh soon turns into a nightmare.
      Afraid and vulnerable, Joise's fragile Independence threatens to unravel around her. That is until the two men who refuse to leave her thoughts show up in Melbourne.
       Caden Adams, "Pick" to his biker brethren, has had a hard life. His only light is Josie, who he loses when she leaves Ballarat for Melbourne. Dealing with day to day life without his heart is hard, especially with the darkness threatening to consume him, When MC President, Talon, informs him that Josie's in trouble, he's determined to make sure he's there to protect her. Only, he won't be doing it alone.
       Eli "Billy the Kid" Walker has never experienced love, not even from those who should have cared the most. Only Josie and Caden have ever come close to infiltrating his hardened heart. With Josie gone, he pushes Caden away, unwilling to take a risk, even if it's something he wants.
       
      I've read a few books by Lila Rose before, with those books either involving bikers or menage relationships. So going into The Secret's Out I was expecting it to be something along the lines of those books. But it turns out I was wrong, The Secret's Out was different and it was not a difference I enjoyed. I just couldn't seem to enjoy The Secret's Out as much as Lila Rose's other books. And while I did finish The Secret's Out I can't say that this is a book I would either read again or recommend.

Four Week Fiance By: Helen Cooper


(N) What if the hottest man on earth made you an offer you couldn't refuse? The offer of a lifetime, one that could make you blush as he offered you whatever you wanted to make you accept. An offer so spicy, so naughty, so scandalous, that you couldn't even want to tell your best friend.
      There are three things you should know. His name is TJ Walker. He's twenty-eight, hot as can be and he's her brother's best friend. TJ asked Mila to be his fake fiance for four weeks but she's hoping to make the engagement real.
     There are so many things that could go wrong with accepting to be TJ"s four week fiance, but there's also so much that could go right.
 
      I've had Four Week Fiance is my pile of books to read for a while now but it wasn't until now that I finally broke down and started reading. And I'm not even the least disappointed that I waited so long before reading this book. Four Week Fiance was just not for me I tried giving it a read but I just could not get myself to get into this book. And I finally gave up reading before I even made a dent in this book. Needless to say, this book was just not for me.

     I've read a few books from Miranda Kenneally before but Coming Up For Air is the first one that I've done a review on. Coming Up For Air is more of a young adult book but with that being said I actually still enjoyed reading it. Coming Up For Air did take a bit of time before things started to get interesting but once it did I could not seem to put it down.

Break Me Slowly (The Shattered Series) By: Joya Ryan

(N) Graduate student Katelyn Gunn is headed for her first day of assistant teaching when she is almost hit by a car. The nervous and inexperienced Kate is shocked to realize that it isn't the near death experience that has her heart racing, but the sinfully sexy man behind the wheel. Adam Kinkade is ultra-wealthy, devastatingly handsome, and the most powerful distribution mogul in Chicago- he is also the first man who ignites emotions inside of Kate other than fear.
       Adam is a man used to getting what he wants. And he wants Katelyn - naked and often. Willing to stop at nothing to possess her, he relentlessly peruses Kate only to discover that it is she who possesses him-completely.
       Kate quickly realizes that Adam has secrets of his own, secrets dark enough to break the walls she keeps so firmly in place.
 
       This wasn't the first time that I have read Break Me Slowly and just like all the other times before I could not seem to put this book down. Break Me Slowly is just one of those books that no matter how many times you read you just cannot put down. If you haven't read Break Me Slowly yet then I suggest you do.
