Anyone But Rich (Anyone But...#1) By: Penelope Bloom

     Seven years ago, Kira and her two best friends made a promise. No matter what, they would never date one of the King brothers. Even if they grew up to become megafamous, gorgeous, heart-stopping billionaires. Even if they crawled on their kneed and begged for forgiveness.
     But guess who just flew back into their lives in a private jet? And guess who just showed up to Kira's job on her first day? Richard. King. Fortunately, it takes two seconds for Richard to reveal he hasn't changed. Conceited. Cocky. Rude. Unfortunately, he's also the kind of gorgeous that 's borderline offensive - with a jawline to make statutes self-conscious and grin that short-circuits her brain. He's spent years taking what he wants. Kira doubt he's hungry for anything else - except her, apparently. There's no way she'll let him maneuver his way back into his life. Her friends would never forgive her. Kira would never forgive her, But did she mention his jawline?

     I'm not quite sure how I feel about Anyone But Rich. I mean I read the whole story and I want to read the next book in this series but I don't know. I think this might be a one and done book series. I read each book one time and then I'm done with it. I don't feel a need or want to read Anyone But Rich again. What started out as a reasonably good book didn't really stay that way.

Suppression (Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team #2) By: Laramie Briscoe

    If you don't love you can't get hurt....
    One thing Nick childhood taught him was never show his emotions. Don't make memories. Don't count on other people. Don't hope for the best. All that changed when he was adopted by Ryan and Whitney Kepler.
    Begrudgingly Nick let them into his life, along with a new sister and a best friend he would lay down his life for. But giving up his heart and accepting love in return from Kelsea Harrison? It's the hardest thing he's ever tried to do. And the truth is? Nick's not sure if he's that strong.
    From the very moment Kelsea met Nick Kepler she knew he would be the love of his life. Problem is she hasn't been able to convince him of that yet. When their best friends get married, Nick and Kelsea spend a drunken night letting their walls down and losing all their inhibitions. In one moment she's given everything she's ever wanted. Then, in the blink of an eye it's taken away from her.
     The question is, can Kelsea be strong for the both of them? The answer? She has to be.

    Because I read the first book in the Laurel Springs Emergency Response Team series and enjoyed reading it I knew I wanted to read the second book in this series. While I didn't enjoy reading Nick's story as much as Stella's story I did enjoy reading it.And because of that I do want to continue on with this series.

Filthy Rich By: Julie Kriss

     Aiden Winters, Gorgeous, brillant, ruthless, and filthy rich. He's known as the Man in Black, because New York's most sought-after bachelor is icy perfection in an all-black suit.
     As his executive assistant, Samantha know his suit size, the security code to his penthouse, and the number to his private line. The only thing she doesn't know is what would make him fall to his knees for a woman.
    And then, one night, Samantha discovers Aiden's sexy secret, And he discovers hers.
    Now Aidan and Samantha play a very dirty game. By day, they're all business. But by night...he't not Aidan and Samantha's not her.
    No emotions. No lies. Except for one.
    If you think this is a story about a girl who hates her boss, think again.

    I found Filthy Rich to be somewhat of an interesting read. There was some interesting moments and others that was just so-so.

Holding Mia (Rockers' Legacy #1) By: Terri Anne Browning

   

     They call her the rocker's princess, some even call her the dance prodigy, but none of them knows the real Mia Armstrong.
     Now that dancing is no longer her future, she doesn't know either.
     All Mia wants is the opportunity to find out, to have some time to try being just a little normal. To discover who this new girl is.
     Mia fought for the chance to go to college on her own. Without the guards overshadowing her shot at a real college experience, drawing unwanted attention and making it impossible to learn new things about myself. 
     Mia's goal was to get her degree and start her own dance school. Barrick wasn't part of the goal, but suddenly, he was everywhere - and Mia was so damn tempted. His arms felt so good wrapped around her, making Mia feel safer than she'd ever felt in her life.
     But Barrick had more secrets than she could ever hope to uncover.
     And one just might break her completely.

     Rockers' Legacy is a spin-off on the Rocker series. And just like I couldn't put down Emmy and Nick's story, I couldn't put down their daughter's Mia story. While I figured out pretty early on what the secret was that Barrik was keeping it didn't make me enjoy Holding Mia any less. If you were a fan of the Rockers series, then you will be a fan of Rockers' Legacy.

The Nanny Rules By: Melynda Price

     Don't touch the nanny. It's one rule Brody's most certainly going to break.
     Since becoming a single father, Brody has had two things that kept him sane-his daughter Lily and playing football for the NFL. But when Brody's meddling sister hires a nanny without his knowledge, Brody's not thrilled to come home and find the woman has taken over his house. Their instant attraction is one more complication Brody doesn't need in his life.
     But Bordy's daughter love Amelia, and he will do anything for that tiny muchkin. Even if it means walking around with blue balls most of the time. Why does the nanny have to be so sweet  and drop dead goregous? She's driving him crazy. Never in his life has Brody wanted a woman more. 
     Brody just needs to make it through this season, he can do that. Hands free, of course. But then there's that moment, and Brody knows she's thinking what he's thinking and, well, yeah. Screw the rules...

     I enjoyed reading The Nanny Rules. While it wasn't a book that I couldn't put down, it was defiantly one that kept my attention. And one book that I would read again.

Cougar (Heritage Bay #3) By: M.A. Foster

 

    At eighteen, Emerson met a man. A man who turned her world upside down and made her the center of his. He claimed the two of them meeting was fate. She agreed.
     Emerson was the damsel in distress and Marcus was her white knight. She became in princess, and he was her prince charming. He gave her the fairy tale. The dream. Until fate circled around and turned Emerson's dream into a living nightmare.
     Now, at forty, Emerson's a widowed single mother left to pick up the pieces of her broken heart and her broken family.

    Going into Cougar I wasn't sure exactly how I was going to take this story. Jaybird, the first book in the Heritage Bay series wasn't necessarily my favorite. But for Mackenzie, the second book in the Heritage Bay series, that book I loved and reread all the time.
      I think Cougar is somewhere is between these two books. While I didn't fully love this book it was a lot better than Jaybird. There were times when I was fully into this book and then there were times I just wanted to skip over scenes. Overall I don't think that I would want to read Cougar but I would definitely want to continue on with this series.

Broken Beats (An Illusion Series Novel) By: D Kelly

 

Darren
     Single father. Widow. Retired.
     Three things he never thought he'd be by thity, yet all his daily reality. This is not the life Darren would have chosen, but it's the hand he's been dealt.
     Darren loves his daughter. He loved Belle. He's not interested in more heartache. Relationships are a thing of the past. Until he meets her -
     She's the awakening he desperately needs, but one Darren's not sure he deserves.

Haddie
     Everything happens for a reason. Time heals all wounds. You're too young to give up on love.
     They say that, but they're wrong. Haddie's world crumbled when her fiance died. Then she met him -
     He's flawed in the same ways. Broken in the same places. Scared of the same things. He looks at Haddie like she's his salvation. And she wants to be, but an open heart means risking a broken one.

    There are few people in this series whose story I wanted to read and Darren's story was on of them. I wanted to see how his life would turn out once the love of his love was gone. Now aftter reading this book I'm not quite sure how I feel about it. While I did enjoy reading Darren's story it was no where near as good as Mel and Sawyer's story. Maybe it's because they had more books, I don't know. Either way this still was a good read and one I would read again. I just didn't love this book as much as I thought I would.
