Arrogant Boss By: Olivia Hayle

     Julian Hunt is a legend. A tech billionaire and a playboy philanthropist. He's not someone you meet, not without a six-month wait. Except Emily did - and not in that sweet, meet-cute kind of way. She wishes. No, she managed to run head-first into Julian Hunt in a nightclub. It's the spill-my-drink-over-his-suit kind of headfirst, the break-my-heel kind. But the arrogant bastard doesn't leave. No, he carries Emily to her car. He implies that she fell on purpose to catch his attention - how dare he - and after she's chewed him out, he asks for her number. She doesn't expect to see him again. After all, lightning doesn't strike twice. Except it does, when Julian's involved. Because when Emily walks into a business negotiation the next day, who's sitting on the other side? Julian Hunt. 

     He's wearing a smirk and a perfectly tailored suit, and he's not there to play. He dominates. Emily walks out of the negotiation having - somehow - been offered her dream job. It's an offer far too sweet to refuse. But if there's one thing more intimidating than Julian Hunt at a nightclub, it's Julian Hunt as a boss. A persistent, dominant, sexy-as-hell boss. He might have decided that they'd be perfect together, but Emily won't be tempted by his broad shoulders and wicked tongue. 

     Julian might be a hunter. But Emily refuses to become prey.

     I found Arrogant Boss to be a decent read.  It was a book that while I enjoyed reading it was a once is enough kind of read. 

Heartbreak Lover (Broken Hearts Academy #2) By: C.R. Jane

     No one wants to believe in monsters, but Everly has seen firsthand that they existed. She said goodbye to Jackson Parker, desperate to save herself once and for all, but old habits die hard. When a monster from the past comes back, Everly will have no choice but to reveal their secrets. 

     Everly needs Jackson to be her hero, but he has his own scars. Can the two conquer the past once and for all? Heartbreak Prince or Lover...there's a fine line that separates the two. 

     I had gone into Heartbreak Lover with little expectations as I wasn't a fan of the first book in this series. And yet I continued to read onto the next book in this series, why because the first one ended in such a way that I wanted to continue on anyways knowing that there was a chance that I wasn't going to enjoy it. And I would be correct in that assumption, I didn't enjoy reading Heartbreak Lover in fact I mostly just skimmed it. So why if that's the case did I read the book at all or continue to the end? I don't know, but what I do know is that this author must be doing something right, getting me to read a book and series that I wasn't that into to begin with. 

Some Kind Of Monster (Friends With The Monsters #2) By: Albany Walker

     Naughty girls need love too. A beautiful monster, that's what Damiana is. Her packaging is just a little nicer than the creatures you hear about dwelling in your closet. With three baddies as mates, things are definitely getting interesting. Damiana thinks she has even convinced them not to kill each other. But Damiana has a new purpose, someone is hurting their kind. Stealing Charmed magic in arcane rituals that leave her friends drained and dead, and she won't allow it. It's time for them to find out why even the Monsters fear her. Damiana is the bad guy. 

     I have been wanting to read Some Kind of Monsters since I read the first book in this series and found out another book would be coming. Just like with the first book in this series once I got into it I could not put it down. Since I've read Friends with the Monsters a few times now it was easier to follow along with the monsters when reading this sequel. Although I do wish that the author reiterated what some of the monsters were, as the monsters were only referred to by name there were a few times that I would like to know who is 'so and so' and what monster they were.

     Even with the slight confusion I still enjoyed reading Some Kind of Monsters and will be reading it again. 

Cavalier (A Crimson Elite #1) By: T. L. Smith

     Welcome to Crimson Elite, the most exclusive sex club in the world. Enter at your own risk, and always remember their number one rule - You must never speak of Crimson Elite - the punishment is severe.
     Creed 'Too Hot for Words' Christoper, if God created the perfect man he would closely resemble Creed, on the outside that is. He's as cavalier as they come, Unconcerned. Cold. Dismissive. Elicea wonders if he has any feelings at all. And when his lips touch hers, everything goes blank. He takes Elicea into his world, and it's the most magical thing she has ever experienced. And he's sucked in time and time again. Like a moth to the flame, Elicea is ready to be set alight.
     Elicea 'F*cks with My Head' Beckham, Elicea is a firecracker. She has piqued Creed's interest, and no one piques his interest anymore. Beautiful women are what Creed does - it's his work. Not one of them has managed to get their claws into Creed the way she does. It's as if she's seeing his icy heart and trying to melt it, set it alight with each touch of her sinful lips. But that can't work, it won't work. Not in Creed's world.

     When I first started reading Cavalier I did enjoy the story and I thought I would continue to enjoy reading it. But as the story went on I began to get less and less interested in it. I didn't even finish the story because I was just so over it. 

Wanting Shaw (Rockers' Legacy #5) By: Terri Anne Browning

     Just the sight of Shaw is enough to make Jagger's mind go blank. Shaw Cage doesn't know the power she has over him, and he can never let her find out. Shaw is Jagger's best friend's sister. And Shaw's brother and Jagger made a pact - their sisters were off-limits. As much as Jagger wants Shaw, he could never have her.
     Until Jagger realized Cannon, Jagger's best friend and Shaw's brother, was unworthy of Jagger's loyalty. Only realizing his mistake came too late. Jagger had already let Shaw down too many times. But he is Emmie Armstrong's son. He won't let anything stand in his way of getting what he wants most.

     While I did enjoy reading Wanting Shaw, it didn't hold a candle to the previous book in this series, Loving Violet. But I think that had more to do with anticipating that story before this spin-off series even began. Having said that, had I not anticipated the previous book so much I think I would have enjoyed this book more. Even so I will definitely be continuing on with this series and would recommend giving this series a read.
