Friends With The Monsters By: Albany Walker

     Damiana has a secret. She has been seeing monsters for as long as she can remember. Late at night, while everyone is sleeping, dreaming of white knights and fairytales she's making friends with the monsters. The monsters that everyone else fears, she calls friends. But the biggest secret of them all, Damiana, is the scariest monster she knows. To Damiana she's the bad guy.

      It took some time but after a while I finally started getting into Friends With The Monsters. This book just seemed to have a slow start and it took some time for me to really figure out what the monsters were. I kept getting distracted trying to picture who the monsters were as we know them thus and that took away from the story as my mind kept going elsewhere.

    One of the other things I didn't like was how Friends With The Monsters ended. It kind of ends of a cliffhanger, and I mean kind of because this book could just be a standalone and end where it does with the reader finishing it with a lot of questions. At the same time more books could be coming but no where either at the beginning of this book or at the end does it mention more books being on the way and I just don't like not knowing. Either way I guess we'll just have to wait and see because I would definitely be up for more. 

Off-limits (Sons of the Underground #1) By: Terri Anne Browning

 

     Lyla was completely off limits.
     Howler's best friend's baby sister was the thing wet dreams were made of. Killer body, sexy personality, and the ability to win his daughter over with that disarming smile of hers. Howler has loved her since before she was legal, but there was always something in their way. Her brother would kill Howler if he touched her though. What Judge rules, everyone in the Underground obeyed. Including Howler.
      When he told her he wouldn't go against her brother, she walked away. Yet she always came back. Not for him, but for his daughter. Howler lived off those brief visits. Just listening to Josie giggle every time Lyla was in the same room with her fed his soul.
      Now, she was home for more than the random weekend, and he ached to make her his. The hell with her brother and the consequences. Josie and Howler needed Lyla, and they weren't letting her go this time.

     As soon as I finished reading Holding Mia I knew I wanted to read Lyla and Howler 's story after catching a glimpse of their dynamic together in that book. And I was right, I could not put Off-limits down. Terri has a way of when you really care about a relationship that you will not want to pick the book down. If you haven't read any of Terri Anne Brownings books then I suggest that you do.

Dirty Letters By: Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward

     Luca never forgot him - a man she's yet to meet.
     Griffin Quinn was Luca's childhood pen pal, the British boy who couldn't have been more different from her. Over the years, through hundreds of letter, they became best friends, sharing their deepest, darkest secrets and forming a connection she never thought could break.
     Until one day it did.
     Then, out of the blue, a new letter arrived. A scathing one - one with eight years of pent-up anger. Luca had no choice but to finally come clean as to why she stopped writing.
     Griffin forgave her, and somehow they were able to rekindle their childhood connection. Only now they were adults, and that connection had grown to a spark, Their letters quickly went from fun to flirty to downright dirty, revealing their wildest fantasies. So it only made sense that they would take their relationship to the next level and see each other in person.
     Only Griffin didn't want to meet. He asked that Luca trust him and said it was for the best. But she wanted more, more Griffin, in the flesh - so she took a big chance and went looking for him. People have done crazier things for love. But what Luca found could change everything. 

     Dirty Letters is another book by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward that I wanted to enjoy reading. And while Dirty Letters did start out that way I can't say that it stayed that way. When I first started reading Dirty Letters I was into it but as I kept reading I slowly started to lose interests over time until finally I just got to point where I was done with it. And that is when I just had enough and skipped over to the ending so I could see how the story ended. Dirty Letter was another book that I really wanted to like and just didn't.

Indelible By: Bethany Lopez

     After a year of partying, Sam decides to buckle down and focus on college. Things are going great until a one-night stand leaves her pregnant and alone. Raising a child while going to school isn't easy, but Same is determined to be strong for her daughter. She doesn't have time for guys or relationships, but the pull she feels towards Judd is more than she can ignore.
      Judd doesn't fit the mold of a college ballplayer. His motorcycle and tattoos may fit the life he's created for himself, but baseball is the one thing he takes seriously. When he meets Sam, he's immediately drawn to her curves and refusal to put up with his crap.
      Sam yearns for the fire Judd fuels in her, but her child's needs have to come first.

     Going into Indelible I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not but I decided to give it a read.  And I didn't completely hate it. Don't get me wrong I wasn't completely in love with the book either but I would read it again. It was something that held my interests and something I wouldn't mind going back to.

Perfectly You By: Sandi Lynn

       Jake first saw Charlotte Foster on the sidewalk in Seattle when the contents of her purse were scattered on the cement. Bending down, he offered her help, and when she looked up, a bolt of lightning tore through him. She was sobbing and a complete mess, yet the most beautiful woman Jake had ever seen. That night, he saw her again at a bar. She was alone and very intoxicated. He helped her into a cab and made sure she got home safely. After putting her to bed, he left a note, walked out the door, and headed back home to Los Angeles. Imagine his surprise when she showed up for an interview at Jake's architect firm one month later. Her world had crumbled and she was searching for a fresh start. Jake wanted to be her fresh start and convincing her that they were meant for each other was going to be the toughest challenge of his life.
       Charlotte's perfect life was shattered by a simple phone call, and in a split second, her world came crashing down around her. After a night of heavy drinking and bar hopping, she awoke the next morning to a note from a man named Jake explaining how he made sure she got home safely. Little did Charlotte know that the man who helped her on the sidewalk that day and home from the bar that night, would be her new boss when she moved back to Los Angeles. Jake was oh so sexy and the nicest man she'd ever met. Falling for him was easy, but her fears and mistrust kept her in check. He saved Charlotte on more than one occasion, and being the hot mess she was, Charlotte needed to save him from her.

        I've just finished reading one Sandi Lynn story and immediately went into reading another. And while I did like the book I read this one is didn't do it for me. I liked this one even less than the last one. I don't know what it is but these book just aren't up to my usual expectations with Sandi Lynn.
