The Proposal (The Proposition #2) By: Katie Ashley

(N) In the weeks following Aidan's betrayal, Emma has tried her best to move on. Ignoring his countless texts, voice mails, and flowers, she isn't sure she wants to be won back by him. But Aidan isn't going down without a fight - especially not until Emma lets him reveal the secrets of his past that caused him to be so commitment phobic.
      But fate intervenes when premature labor forces Emma on strict bed rest for two weeks. Aidan steps forward with a shocking proposal. To prove his love and commitment for her and their unborn son, he will take a leave of absence from work to care for her around the clock. Vowing to guard her heart, Emma reluctantly agrees.
      While she is touched by Aidan's attentiveness and tender loving care, Emma is thrown for a loop by the amorous attentions of ER doctor, Alpesh "Pesh" Nadeen. Pesh is everything Emma could ever want - successful, stable, and ready to settle down and be a husband and father. Pesh wants nothing more than to win Emma's heart, but she is not sure she's able to give it.
     Her heart may still belong to the very man who broke it - the one who is so desperately trying to win her back.

I couldn't get enough of reading The Proposition so when it came time to read The Proposal again I couldn't want. But sadly, The Proposal did not leave up to its predecessor, I just couldn't seem to get into this book.

The Proposition (The Proposition #1) By: Katie Asley

(N) With her 30th birthday looming, Emma Harrison finds her biological clock clanging and the elusive knight in shining armor has yet to appear. She's running out of options, especially after her gay best friend backs out from being her spear donor. Of course, there's always a sperm bank, but Emma fears a donor mix-up might impregnate her with the spawn of Satan.
     Resident company womanizer, Aidan Fitzgerald, is used to always getting what he wants, especially in the bedroom. When Emma spurns his advances at the company Christmas party, he's determined to have her no matter what it takes. After Aidan learns of Emma's predicament, he is quick to offer a proposition that will benefit them both. He will father Emma's child, but she must conceive it with him naturally. Not one for hook-ups or casual sex, Emma is reluctant to take Aidan up on his offer, but his charm, coupled with her intense desire for motherhood, wins out.
      Soon their baby-making sessions become more than just physical. Aidan can't seem to walk away from her while Emma begins to wonder if Aidan could be the one. But can Aidan leave his past behind to become the man Emma needs him to be?

      Even after reading The Proposition numerous times before I still couldn't seem to put this book down. It's always nice when you pick up a book after having not read it for a while and it's still just as good as you remembered it being. 

Mack Daddy By: Penelope Ward

(N) They called him Mack Daddy. No, seriously, his name was Mack. Short for Mackenzie. Thus, the nickname. Perfect, right?
       He was perfect. The perfect physical male specimen.
       At the private school where Francesca teaches, Mack Morrison is the only man around a sea of women.
       Everyone wanted a piece of the hot, single father of the sweet little boy.
       Seeing all these women fawn over him, turned Francesca into a woman she didn't recognize, someone riddled with jealously, because they didn't know that to her, he was much more.
       They didn't know about the past Francesca and Mack shared.
       Mack chose Francesca's school for his son on purpose, because Mack and Francesca have some unfinished business.
       Francesca's still intensely attracted to Mack. She's tried to resist him, immersing herself further into a relationship with someone else just to protect her heart. Not to mention getting involved with a parent was strictly against school rules. But seeing Mack day in and day out was breaking her down. And soon she just might be breaking all the rules.

      From the synopsis of Mack Daddy I didn't think that I would like this book. But I've read and enjoyed a few books by Penelope Ward before so I thought that I would give this book a read. To say I was surprised was an understatement. Once I started reading I couldn't stop, I just couldn't seem to want to put Mack Daddy down. And that's how it went for most of the story, with me repeatedly telling myself one more chapter, one more chapter, even when I knew I should be putting the book down. But then as I got towards the end, that's when the book started to go downhill for me. That's not to say the story wasn't still good, it just wasn't as good as the story up until that point. In all certainty I cannot say for sure if this is a book I would recommend or not.

Breaking Hollywood By: Samantha Towle

 (N) It wasn't supposed to be like this. Ava wasn't supposed to be boyfriendless, homeless, and jobless at twenty-eight years old. And she most definitely wasn't supposed to hit Hollywood's resident bad boy Gabriel Evans with her car breaking his foot.
     Now Ava's guilt and homelessness have her living in his apartment, taking care of him, while he's incapacitated.
     Living with the hottest guy in Hollywood, who she's had a crush on forever, doesn't sound like a chore, right?
     Wrong. Gabriel Evans is a crude, rude asshole who drinks way too much and smokes like a chimney. The sooner she gets herself a new place and when Gabriel's foot is all healed, she's out of there. So why does she keep forgetting to check the classified? And why does she keep getting flustered when she sees him shirtless?
     Breaking Hollywood wasn't part of the pain, but neither was falling in love with him.

     This was yet another hit for Samantha Towle, I could not seem to put Breaking Hollywood down. I managed to finished this book in no time at all and that was all due to Towle's writing. She just has this way to writing that gets you invested in the reading and once you start, you don't want to stop till it's over. If you haven't read Breaking Hollywood yet, then I suggest you do. 

On A Tuesday By: Whitney G.

(N) They met on a Tuesday. Became best friends, then lovers, on a Tuesday. And it all fell apart on a Tuesday...
      For Grayson, Charlotte Taylor already has three automatic strikes: 1) She hates him. She also claims that he's a "domineering jerk with a huge, overbearing ego." 2) She takes their mandatory tutoring sessions way too seriously.  3) She's sexy as hell...And a virgin.
     These were her strikes before their study sessions started lasting longer and longer than they were supposed to. Until one innocent kiss became a hundred dirty ones, and until she became the first woman Greyson ever fell hard for.
      Their future after college was supposed to be set: Professional football for him and law school for her. But she left him at the end of the semester with no explanation and then she completely disappeared from his life.
      Until tonight.
      They met on a Tuesday. Became everything, then nothing on a Tuesday. And now seven years later they meet again on a Tuesday...

      Going into this I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from Whitney G. From the sample I read of On A Tuesday I thought I would like this book enough to give it a read but not to the extent to which I do. I could not seem to put this book down and finished it in no time at all. That's when I knew this would be a book that I would definitely read again and one I recommend others read.

The Lost One (Lost Series #1) By: Liz Lovelock

(N) Melodi White was just like every other girl, but then one day her life was ripped to shreds by her sister's heartless boyfriend. It's been three years since Abby was taken from her life. To Melodi, Abby wasn't just her sister, she was her twin, and her best friend.
       Deciding to follow through their childhood dream of moving to New York, Melodi heads for a life of adventure and fun. One night, while out on the town, Melodi finds herself wrapped in the arms of a gorgeous, drop-dead sexy man, Corban. He literally swept Melodi off her feet, took her breathe away with a single kiss and left her wanting more, a feeling that was completely alien to her.
      Corban Andrews, CEO of Case Construction is wealthy, sexy and ravishing and is set to make Melodi wold come undone. Hesitantly, she puts her trust in him.
      When a familiar face from her past reappears, it might push her so far into the darkness, Corban and Melodi may not survive.

       The Lost One was an okay book, one that was good enough to finish reading but not good enough for me to want to continue on with this series. I just couldn't seem to get into this book enough to want to find out what happened next in the series.
