Seducing Cinderella (A Fighting for Love Novel #1) By: Gina L. Maxwell

(N) Mixed martial arts fighter Reid Andrew's chance to reclaim his title as light heavyweight champ is shattered when he's injured only months before the rematch. To make sure he's healed in time, his trainer sends him to recuperate under a professional's care - Reid's best friend's little sister, all grown up.
    Disorganized and bookish Lucie Miller needs some professional help of her own. She'd do anything to catch the eye of a doctor she's crushed on for years, so when Reid offers seduction lessons in exchange for 24/7 conditioning for the biggest fight of her carer, Lucie jumps at the chance.
     Soon Reid finds himself in the fight for his life...winning Lucie's heart before she gives it to someone else.

     It's been a while since I've read Seducing Cinderella so when I decided to pick it up again I figured why not do a review on it. For most of Seducing Cinderella I could not put it down, it was just when I got towards the end where I was like okay I'm ready for this to be done. That's not to say that this wasn't a good read it just wasn't something that held my attention from beginning to end.

Twice Bitten (Argeneau #27) By: Lynsay Sands

(N) For someone who's been around for over a hundred and forty years, immortal Elspeth Argeneau hasn't done a whole lot of living. Now that she's moved away from her controlling mother, she's tracking down rogue vampires and enjoying some overdue freedom. A fling would be fun. A life mate can wait. Yet to Elspeth's surprise, her landlady's hot grandson checks both boxes.
       Wyatt fell instantly in love with Elspeth fours years ago. He's stunned to run into her again, especially as she has no memory of him. Then again, there are a lot of things about Elspeth that don't make sense, like the miraculous speed with which her wounds heal. And the chemistry that transforms every touch into an explosion of desire. With mysterious "accidents" besieging Elspeth, the ex-Special Forces soldier appoints himself her bodyguard. But time is running out to uncover the truth about her enemies - and rediscover the man determined to love her for eternity.

      Twice Bitten, proved to me why I keep continuing on with this series. For every book that in this series that I tolerate there's another one right around the corner that I just cannot seem to put down. With each page turn I couldn't wait to find out what happened next and managed lose track of time because I was so invested with this story. It's stories like this as to why I keep coming back to this series.

A Beautiful Evil (Gods & Monsters #2) By: Kelly Keaton

(N) When Ari first arrived in the dilapidated city of New 2, all she wanted was to figure out who she was. But what she discovered was beyond her worst nightmare. Ari is a descendant of Medusa and can already sense the evil growing inside her - a power the goddess Athena will stop at nothing to possess.
        Desperate to hold onto her humanity and protect her loved one, Ari must fight back. But Athena's playing mind games, not just with Ari, but with those she cares about most. And Athena has a very special plan for the brooding and sexy Sebastian.
        Ari is determined to defeat Athena, but time is running out. With no other options, Ari must unleash the very thing she's afraid of: herself.
    
        A Beautiful Evil, is the second book in the Gods and Monsters series and just like with the previous book I could not put this book down. If you haven't given this series a read than I suggest you do.

Darkness Becomes Her (Gods & Monsters #1) By: Kelly Keaton

 (N) Ari can't help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can't be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is.
        Her search for answers uncovers a message from her long dead mother: Run. Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it's impossible to protect herself when she doesn't know what she's running from or why she is being pursed.
        She knows only one thing: she must return to her birthplace of New 2, the lush rebuilt city of New Orleans. Upon arriving, she discovers that New 2 is very...different. Here, Ari is seemingly normal. But every creature she encounters, no matter how deadly or horrifying, is afraid of her.
        Ari won't stop until she knows why. But some truths are too haunting, too terrifying, to ever be revealed.

        I first read Darkness Becomes Her years ago and wanted to give it another read. Just like years ago I could not put this down. This is still a book worth reading.

Just an Illusion - Unplugged (The Illusion Series #4) By: D. Kelly

(N) Sawyer Weston is cocky and arrogant. With his sinful smile and sexy dimples, he's gotten his way most of his life. Infamous for his one-night stands and moves between the sheets, the lead singer for Bastards and Dangerous has never considered relationships - until he meets her. With her curvy body, sarcastic mouth, and uncanny ability to put Sawyer in his place, Amelia Greyson has captured his heart. She can see into his soul and knows what he truly wants from life. Sawyer has a problem, though - she's dating his twin brother Noah. Although he wants her with every breath he takes, Sawyer and Noah's complicated history prevents him from making a move on her.

      Going into Just an Illusion - Unplugged I wasn't sure how much I was going to like it, with this series it could have gone either way. I didn't enjoy reading book one in this series, skipped book two all together but loved book three so much that I read it again repeatedly. With that being said, Unplugged kind of fell somewhere in between, it wasn't my favorite book in the series but there was something there that made me want to keep this book. I was always more a Sawyer girl than a Noah girl and this book made you fall for Sawyer even more, Sawyer always put his brother first even when others around him point out that sometimes it is okay to put yourself first. Unplugged isn't the end of Sawyer's story and I'm looking forward to reading more of it.

Entice (A Tangled Loved Duet Book #1) By: Stacey Lynn

(N) When the most difficult decision of Laurie Baker's life needed to be made, she took off for a weekend alone to weigh her pros and cons and consider all her options. What she didn't expect was to run face first into one more complication her life didn't need.
      Distracting, sexy and British, Liam Parker offered Laurie exactly what she needed when she was desperate for attention. One night of pleasure. She wanted it. Craved it. And she took it.
      And when the sunlight dawned and the lusty haze of one night of passion disappeared and reality revealed itself... Laurie returned home knowing that everything she had once believed, everything she has once loved and desired, was about to be tossed upside down and shaken in a way she could never image.
 
       While reading Entice I was able to figure out what would happen next but then that ending came out of nowhere and now I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Behind His Lies By: Sandi Lynn

(N) Some would say Addison's life was perfect, but it's nowhere near so. Addison lost her father in a boating accident when she was eight years old. He was the love of her life and she was his princess. Addison never got over her father's death, even after her mother, Madeline, married her father's best friend. Edward. Addison was a big believer in fate. But fate had done her wrong and left her with an emptiness that could never be filled. Not only did Addison lose her father that day but she also lost her best friend.
      After landing her dream job in New York City, she met a very sexy man named Andrew London. Addison fell heads over heels for Andrew instantly, and was sure that he was the one who could fill the emptiness Addison felt inside. Addison felt it every time the two were together, and he loved her like no other man had. Because of this she ignored the signs from the beginning as she was so immersed in him. Then one day, everything unfolded, and she found herself in a relationship that was built on nothing but deceit from the very start. Addison couldn't understand why he would do this to her until she discovered this truth behind the lies.

      When I first started reading Behind his Lies, I figured this would be a book I would really enjoy considering I've read and fell in love with other books by this author. But sadly enough this book just did not live up to expectations. While some of the lies were a nice surprised others were easy enough to figure out.
