His Billionaire Dollar Baby By: Lea Nolan

 (N) Burned by love and grieving over his brother's death, sexy billionaire CEO Carter Anderson wants nothing more than to protect his family. So when beautiful and unassuming physical therapist Gwen Radley shows up at the funeral, pregnant with his brother's baby, Carter's certain she wants an interest in the Anderson empire - and both his suspicion and attraction grow when circumstances force Gwen to move into his family's mansion.
        An orphan, Gwen's never wanted anything more than a family, and she finds in the Andersons a place she and her baby might belong. When Gwen's therapy expertise leads to long hours of intense, late-night collaboration on a lucrative project, the attraction between her and Carter leads to a night of white-hot passion. But Carter's distrust remains, leading them both to wonder if he will ever embrace his brother's baby - or the love that's blooming between them.
   
       I've read His Billionaire Dollar Baby before so I decided this time I would write a review about it. Because of what has happened in his past Carter immediately dislikes Gwen because he reminds him so much of what almost happened to him. Even though Gwen has done nothing to prove any different Carter just can't get past his past to see what is right in front of his eyes. And while all that is frustrating you can kind of understand where he is coming from, up until a point. You want Gwen and Carter to work out but first Carter has to work through his own issues.

Rebel Heart (The Rush Series #2) By: Penelope Ward & Vi Keeland

(N) Rebel Heart picks up right where Rebel Heir left off and yet again I could not put this book down.  You felt for both Rush and Gia, there were so many things working against these two but as the same time there was so much rooting for them.

Her Debt (Lock and Key Book #1) By: Rebel Rose

(N) Tristan entire world changed the second that he saw Emma Lia in his casino. Emma Lia's a professional gambler. And a cheat. A damn good one...but not good enough. And now she owes a debt to him. A debt that only her body can repay.
      Tristan is restless with lust and need and desire for this thing of beauty not in his possession. Tristan's mind and body are obsessed with her.
      When he spanks her for the first time, he knows that he's right. She's the one. The woman that he's going to break. The woman that he's going to train for only his particular tastes. Tristan is going to shatter her into a million pieces and then rebuild her into everything that he wants and needs and desires.
     His next submissive.

      Going into Her Debt I had an idea of how this story was going to pan out based on reading the synopsis but once I started I knew that it would be something else entirely. I just couldn't get passed how much Tristan wanted to control and dominate Emma Lia. I get that Tristan wanted Emma Lia to be his submissive but how he went about it was just too much for me and while I read this whole story I won't be continuing on with the rest of the series.

Rush By: Samantha Towle

(N) It's been three years since quarterback Ares Kincaid's NFL dream came true, and he's living the high life. The days of cleaning up after his drunk of a father are long gone, and he has no intention of going back.
      A car crash and DUI charge meant a lengthy stint in rehab for Arianna Petrelli, and her dream of being a professional artist slips further away when she's sacked from her position at a gallery. When her need for a job becomes stronger than her dislike of football, Ari goes to work for her father, the head coach of the New York Giants.
      Ares hates alcoholics, which is fine with Ari because she thinks he's a brainless jock. Yet when Ares rescues Ari from a situation with her ex-boyfriend, an unlikely friendship begins - one that quickly becomes more.
      But messing around with the coach's daughter can only lead to one thing...trouble.

      Samantha Towle has done it again, once I started reading Rush I just could not seem to put it down. The love/hate relationship between Ares and Arianna in the beginning of the story is great, you can really tell that even though these two want to hate each other there's still a growing attraction between them. Towel does a great job at showing just how thin the line between love and hate really is.

Ruin By: Rachel Van Dyken

(N) Kiersten's not your typical girl. She's been running away from the memories that haunt her for so long that depression has become her only comfort. Kiersten was content in the darkness...until Wes Michels offered to be her light.
       Kiersten didn't know that time wasn't her ally - that every second that ticked past was one step closer to the end of something that was beginning to mean the end of herself. He tried to warn her. He promised her all he was able to offer - each moment as it came - but it would never be enough.
       Sometimes when you think it's the end, it's only the beginning. Wes thought he could save Kiersten, but in giving her everything, he ruined her. Because after one kiss, one touch, Kiersten couldn't-she wouldn't ever be the same. 
        And for that moment on, his heartbeat became her own.

       I've read a few books by Rachel Van Dyken before and have really enjoyed reading them. I kept seeing Ruin on my suggested lists for a while now and I finally decided to give it a read after reading the synopsis and some of the reviews. And I'm sad to say that I could not understand why so many liked this book. I could barley make it through the second half of the story and by the end of it I was ready for the whole thing to be over.
