Ranieri Andretti (The Five Syndicates Series #3) By: Parker S. Huntington

      They were best friends, then they were enemies.
      Loved. Protected. Cherished. There was a time when Ranieri Andretti made Carina feel those things. That was before his family came after hers. 
      Ranieri was supposed to forget Carina. They went their separate ways. It should have stayed like that. But now he's back in her life, and he's her new boss. 
      Carina wants to hate Ranieri. He's her ex-best friend. Her tormentor. The head of the Andretti family. But no matter how hard Carina tries...she can't stay away.

      I was really excited to read Ranieri Andretti after reading Asher Black. And since the previous book in this series I both could not put down and could not stop reading I was surprised with just how quickly I finished this book. And it wasn't because of how interested I was in this story but more along the lines of how much shorter Ranieri Andretti is than Asher Black. I actually didn't realize going into Ranieri Andretti much shorter it was and I just wish that it was longer and that there was more to Carina and Ranieri's story.

All Stars Fall (A Seaside Pictures/Big Sky Novella) By: Rachel Van Dyken

      She left. Two words Trevor can't really get out of his head. She left them. Three more words that make it that much worse. Three being another word he can't seem to wrap his mind around.
      Three kids under the age of six, and she left because she missed it. Because her dream has never been to have a family, no her dream has been to marry a rockstar and live the high life.
      Moving his recording studio to Seaside Oregon seemed like the best idea in the world right now especially since Seaside Oregon has turned into the place for celebrities to stay and raise families in between touring and producing. It would be lucrative to make the move, but Trevor's doing it for his kids because they need normal, they deserve normal. And him? Well, he just needs a break and help, that too. Trevor needs a sitter and fast. Someone who won't flip him off when he asks them to sign an Iron Clad NDA, someone who won't sell their pictures to the press, and most of all? Someone who looks absolutely nothing like his ex-wife.
      He's tall. That was Penelope's first instinct when she saw the notorious Trevor Wood, drummer for the rock band Adrenaline, in the local coffee shop. He ordered a tall black coffee which made Penelope smirk, and five minutes later she somehow agreed to interview for a nanny position. She couldn't help it, the smaller one had gum stuck in her hair while the eldest was standing on his feet and asking where babies come from. He looked so pathetic, so damn sexy and pathetic that rather than be star-struck, Penelope took pity. She knew though; knew the minute she signed the NDA, the minute their fingers brushed and her body became insanely aware of how close he was - she was in dangerous territory, she just didn't know how dangerous until it was too late. Until Penelope fell for the star and realized that no matter how high they are in the sky-they're still human and fall just as hard.
  
      All Stars Fall was a nice, quick enjoyable read. I haven't read any of the other books in the Seaside Pictures or Big Sky series, so going into this book I was a little unsure as to what to expect. But after reading the sample of All Stars Fall I really wanted to read more. And while I did enjoy reading All Stars Fall I don't think I want to start reading either series.

Asher Black (The Five Syndicates Series #1) By: Parker S Huntington

     It all started with her bladder. Lucy didn't mean to witness a shady deal in the restroom hallway. She didn't think twice when she called the cops. And she certainly didn't know who the club belonged to.
    Asher Black. Former mafia hitman. Billionaire CEO. New York's most eligible bachelor.
    When Asher shows up at Lucy's college, looking for the girl who called the cops on his business, Lucy knows she's as good as dead. What she doesn't expect is his offer - he'll pay for her tuition, set her up with a cushy job after she gradates, and all she has to do is...be his fake fiance.

      I'm going to be perfectly honest, when I first started reading Asher Black I honestly didn't think that I was going to enjoy reading this book. And I didn't for the first chapter or two in fact I barley read those chapters, but something told me to continue on with the story and I'm glad that I did. By the end of the first day I couldn't put Asher Black down, even when it was way past time when I should. Asher Black proves that while some books might not start off well they can definitely end on a high note.

Bottoms Up (The Rock Bottom Series #1) By: Holly Renee

      Guys like Tucker Moore didn't date girls like Kennedy. He had boring ol' washboard abs that looked like they were sculpted by the Gods, and Kennedy had more curves than a backroad in a country song.  He could charm the panties off anyone he wanted, but Kennedy preferred to interact with her latest literary best friends.
      He was her next-door neighbor, and the definition of a bad idea. She had no business thinking about him when she her hand up her own skirt to push the only buttons he had left untouched.
      The only sliding she should have been doing was straight into the friend-zone. Which she did, faster than he could say "just friends." It didn't matter that Tucker spend more than in Kennedy's apartment than his own or that he smiled at her in a way that made her stomach flip.
      That was just Tucker. And he was becoming Kennedy's best friend. Which made him completely off-limits. But a weekend away and a bag packed so full she couldn't fit her logic were their downfall.
      Tucker and Kennedy were going to screw everything up, and she would be the one left Bottoms Up.

    When I first read the synopsis of Bottoms Up I didn't think that I would actually enjoy this read. Turns out I was wrong. I found myself really enjoying Bottoms Up and while it wasn't one my favorites lately it defiantly was a surprise. 

Boycott and Barflies By: Victoria Michaels

After an endless string of bad dates and a generally pathetic love life, Grace Park and her friends decide to boycott men for six weeks. With a fantastic pair of shoes on the line for the woman who makes it to the end without breaking any rules, the competition gets fierce. Sparks fly a few days into the bet when Grace and her friends cross paths with a sexy bartender named Michael Andris, who happens to have a little bet of his own going with his friends.

This wasn't the first time I read Boycott and Barflies and it won't be the last. Every time I read this book I cannot get enough of it. I will say for anyone thinking of giving this book a read you should do so but just as a heads up the beginning can be kind of slow. You have to get through the first few chapters before things really start to get interesting.

Hollywood Princess (Hollywood Royalty #2) By: Natasha Madison

     An Oscar, a Tony, an Emmy, a Grammy - Kellie has them all.
     She's the most sought-after woman in Hollywood. Even if her rise to fame was a flake, you can't deny the camera loves her. The problem is so does everyone else, and she's about to leave on the biggest concert tour of her life. Headlining for the first time in five years.
     Around the world in ninety days. Should be a piece of cake. Until her new security details walks in the room and she's looking into the eyes of the only man who didn't fall for her charm.
     It's only a matter of time till he falls for Hollywood's Princess.

     I enjoyed Hollywood Princess a lot more than I did the last book in the Hollywood Royalty series. There just seemed to be more there worth reading and to keep reading. I knew I wanted to read Hollywood Princess after getting a sneak peak of Kellie and Brian in Hollywood Playboy and I'm glad I did continue on with this series. I still wouldn't say that this was the best book or series that I've read but I did enjoy Hollywood Princess a lot more than Hollywood Playboy.
