      Just when things are really starting to look up for Eden she realizes that she has underestimated the depth of Finley's problems and suddenly her job seems to be more than she ever expected. Soon Eden finds herself over her head.
      So I absolutely love this book and have read it multiple times since I got it. Since I have read this book so many times and I haven't done a review for it yet I decided to do one. As I said I have read this multiple times so it kind of goes without saying that you should read this book.

A Fighter's Desire Part Two By: L.P. Dover

(N) This is the second novella in the Gloves Off series. Gabriella Reynolds is the younger sister of MMA's Heavyweight Champion Matt Reynolds. Matt has warned all fighters to stay away from his sister and has warned his sister to stay away from all the fighter's that they'll only break her heart. Because Gabriella has been told to stay away from the fightersa it only drives her more to go after what she cannot have.
      For a while Gabriella listened to her brother and just remained friends with the fighters but she could only go so long just being friends with the fighters before she starts to get interested in one of them. And that time has come and Gabriella is interested in a certain fighter but there's one problem, he's her brother's best friend. Tyler Rushing is attracted to Gabriella but he's afraid that she'll want more and that's not something that he can giver her. But when Tyler finds out that that isn't the case, that Gabriella doesn't want more then all bets are off. But because of each of their relationships with Matt Gabriella and Tyler have to keep their relationship a secret and it's a secret that they'll have to keep forever.
      After reading this second novella in the series I have a better understanding of how I feel about this series. And I have to say that this novella didn't make me anymore want to read the rest of the series than when I finished reading the last novella. And I even went as far as reading samples for the next few books and that didn't peak my interests either. So suffice to say I will not be reading this series.

Play By: Holly S. Roberts

(N) Killian MacGregor is the hottest quarterback in the NFL, and a guy that every girl wants.
       Rebecca Cavanaugh is a long distance runner for her college state team. Rebecca's not much of a partier but she ends up getting roped into going to one with her older sister as the designated driver.
       While attending the party Killian cannot take his eyes off of a perfect pair of legs and spends the next hour watching and tracking the women throughout the party. Killian watches her from a distance that is until he sees one of his teammates get a little too rough with Rebecca and then he makes his presence known.
       Rebecca not one for parties hides in the kitchen for most of it not wanting in on the athletic sex fest and she was doing great at hinding that was until a drunken football player forces Rebecca to her knees and waves his member in her face. Before Rebecca can try and get herself out of the current situation an unknown hero comes in and saves her. When Killian helps Rebecca off of the floor she's stunned when she turns to her hero and sees the sexiest man she's ever seen before.
       It takes them time for the two to get together but when they do they both cannot seem to keep their hands off of each other. But while they may not be able to keep their hands off of each other it is not enough to stop the past demons that these two have.  
       So at first while reading this I wasn't that into the book but kept reading mostly because I just wanted to see how the story ends and I'm glad that I did continue reading. This book turned out to be really good to the point where I could not put it down. Play is something that I will not only read again but now want to continue on and read the next book in the series.

Emma was all packed up and already on her way to New York when she receives an email from Parsons, Emma's financial aid had been declined and now Emma is in New York and has just a few days to come up with the money for the fall semester or else she could kiss her dream of going to Parsons goodbye.

      I loved this book and managed to finish the whole thing in one sitting. I really do enjoy reading books by Sandi Lynn, she makes these 300 page books go by in no time at all. One minute you're reading the first couple of chapters and the next you only have a few more chapters left. If you haven't read this book or other books by this author then I suggest that you do.

A Fighter's Desire By: L.P. Dover

(N) This book is just a quick novella from A Gloves Off series. It's common knowledge in the MMA world that identical twin fighters Ryley and Camden Jameson are just as aggressive and passionate in bed as they are in the ring. It is also well known that given the chance a girl could get the honor of spending the night with both Jameson brothers. There's just one catch, you have to pass the first test on the first night in order to go onto the next round. Ryley and Camden could have any girl of their choosing with no argument that is until they meet Ashleigh Warren.
       Ashleigh was far warned what was going to happen when she finally met the twins. Ryley and Camden approached her with a proposition and needless to say she didn't take it surprising them both. So Ryley and Camden come up with a new proposition she first gets to spend the night with each of them and she has to make it as long as they do. It's a proposition that Ashleigh can't refuse and one she knows that she'll enjoy.
       I liked reading this book and finished it in no time at all.  There's nothing really negative to say about this book except that online it said that the book was about 250 pages but actually ended at only 180 pages and the rest of the book was just a sneak book for another book. While this was a good book I'm not really sure about reading the other books in the series just yet.

Drawn To You By: Serena Grey

(N) Rachel has spent the last few months in love with a guy who wants nothing more than to just be her friend, saying that he's just not a one woman kind of man. Then while at a party she discovers that her this guy is engaged and upset with what she discovers she leaves the party, that's when Rachel meets Landon. Landon is the most attractive man that Rachel has ever laid eyes on and for some reason he thinks that she's a hooker. So Rachel doesn't see the harm in letting him think that after all it's just for one night and after that she'll never see him again.
     Landon has no desire to be in a committed relationship so his brother decides to give him a hooker for Landon's birthday going against Landon's wishes. Landon has never sought out a hooker before but when she's standing right in front of him he's more than willing to go along with it.
    It should have been easy, just a one night thing but Landon cannot seem to get the hooker from his birthday out of his head and does what he can to find out who she really is when he discovers that his brother never sent her to him. When he finally does see her again Rachel wants nothing to do with him and Landon cannot have that. However being the billionaire owner of the Swanson Court Hotels has its advantages and Landon will use whatever resource he can to get what he wants and he wants Rachel.
     This was just an okay story. There was nothing really special about this book and while there's more to this story I will not be coming on. All and all I say that this book is worth skipping over.
