Stolen Soul Mate (Crowne Point #2) By: Mary Catherine Gebhard

                                                  
     There's a rule in Crowne Hall: never look a Crowne in the eye.
     It separates the 'us' (servants) and 'them' (Crowne family).
     Story broke it once, the night Grayson Crowne mistook her for his true love and stole her first kiss. She's regretted it ever since.
      He hates her. Her torments her. He won't let her go, because that night he whispered a secret against Story's lips not meant for her. Grayson Crowne, heir to the Crowne empire and notorious playboy prince is...a virgin.
      Story signed a contract in her heart's blood as much as ink: help him get back his love, repair what she broke. Give Grayson her body, her mind, let him use all of her, so when the time comes to marry his love, he won't need Story.
     Story shouldn't need him. But he's her stolen soulmate, and she's at his mercy.

     The dynamite between Story and Grayson was something else and yet I could not get enough of it. In Stolen Soul Mate Gebhard really brings home the point that the grass isn't always greener on the other side but also that you can't judge a book by its cover. Grayson on the outside seems like the ultimate player when the truth couldn't be anything further. I loved reading Stolen Soul Mate and I cannot wait to read the conclusion to their story.

The Obsession (Filthy Rich Americans #2) By: Nikki Sloane

     The Hale family is obsession with status, power, and control. No problem is too big their money can't solve.
      Royce Hale manipulated Marist into giving him everything. Her virginity. Her hand in marriage. Her heart. And as soon as he got what he wanted, he callously sold Marist off for a cool ten million.
     In the boardroom and the twisted game his family plays, he says the only rule is to win at all costs.
     Yesterday she learned a painful lesson not to trust the prince of Cape Hill. Today she'll destroy his carefully laid plans and show him just how badly he's already lost.
     All the money in the world won't be able to stop him.

     After having The Obsession in my to read pile for quite some time I am finally getting around to reading the second book in the Filthy Rich Americans series. And while it may have taken me forever to get around to reading The Obsession, once I started I couldn't put it down. And now I cannot wait to read the conclusion of Royce and Marist's story.

The Sinful King By: Claire Contreras

     If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery. 
     Every summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water. Cottages that belonged to Adeline's family. 
     Each of those summers Adeline's parents sent her away - summer camp and later, boarding school. Anything to keep Adeline away from the royals and their partying. 
     Adeline hasn't been home in years, but when she finally comes back for the summer, she can see that not much has changed. Like all the summers she'd been gone. Price Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. No reason at all to even think he was there. 
     She's given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes this an impossible task. Adeline may be doing everything in her power to stay away from him, but there is no one in the world who can say no to the future King of France. 


     When I first started reading The Sinful King I wasn't really sure what to expect. I read the sample and I thought, ok this could go either way but kept reading anyways. And slowly but surely once I really started reading I could not stop and managed to finish in one day. This was not only a story that I enjoyed reading but one that I would definitely read again. 

The Girl Next Door By: Jessica Sucevic

     Mia Stanbury is the quintessential girl next door. Smart, beautiful, and determined. She's got it all going on. Is it any wonder that she's been on Beck's radar for as long as he can remember? We're talking middle school, folks.
     While Beck will admit he's made a few boneheaded mistakes as fas as she's concerned, but what can he say? He's a dude. Sometimes he thinks with the wrong head. We'll just chalk it up to one of the hazards of having a Y chromosome and leave it at that.
     But Beck's older now. More mature. Sort of.
     Mila has spent all of high school and college keeping Beck at a distance. If she didn't melt in Beck's arms every time he puts his hands of her, he'd almost think she was immune to his charms. Turns out that's not the case. This is their last year at Wesley before they go their separate ways. Beck to the NFL, her to law school. It's now or never. Beck's done playing games and allowing Mia to push  him away. Beck was Mia's first and he damn well will be her last.

     I surprisingly could not get enough on The Girl Next Door. and I say surprisingly only because I wasn't sure how much I would actually like this book. While The Girl Next Door is written in kind of a fast pace style I didn't mind it when that's not usually the case. It was just fast paced enough without getting to be too annoying and disinteresting.
