Savoring Mila (Angels Halo MC Next Gen & Rockers' Legacy #3) By: Terri Anne Browning

   
     One night. That was all they had, all they needed.
     It was a chance meeting in a New York City club while Mila was in town for a wedding. Their paths were never going to cross again. But she lied. One night wasn't enough.
     New York City was Lyric's dream. Work for the best tattoo artist in the country, build up his own client list, then start his own ink shop whenever he wanted. Then he met Mila. One night. That was what they agreed. But even as he was telling her goodbye, Lyric was already planning their forever.

     Terri has yet another hit on her hands. I am loving the Rockers' Legacy series just as much as the Rockers' series. I knew the minute I started reading Savoring Mila that I was going to enjoy it and I wasn't wrong. And now having finished reading it I cannot wait to read the next book in both series. One book featuring Luca (Lyric's twin), which I have wanted to read since the Rockers' series and now I want to read the other upcoming book in one of these series featuring Monroe (Mila's twin).

The Donor By: Sandi Lynn

   The only thing Harper ever wanted in life was a family of her own. She daydreamed about marrying the perfect man and starting a family more than she lived in reality. At the age of thirty and after many failed relationships, she discovered that maybe marriage and the perfect husband weren't in the cards for her. Harper's biological clock was ticking so she decided to start a family on her own as a single woman living in New York City. After finding the perfect sperm donor from the New York Cryobank, she put her plan into motion. The only thing that mattered in her life was raising her child. Then, by some act of fate she met a brutally handsome man. A man who didn't care that she was already pregnant. A man who made her swoon and swept Harper off her feet. He was too good to be true because as far as Harper was concerned, guys like him didn't exist. She trusted him and fell in love, until she found out the truth about him and his motives.
     It all started with a bet. A bet between Grayson and his best friend. He lost, and it was time to pay up. He was promised that nothing would ever come of it. But something did. Grayson was a rich and successful businessman who topped the list of New York's most eligible bachelor. A man who was anti-relationship in every way, His grandfather didn't like the way Grayson lived his life and offered him an ultimatum. Grayson was given one year to meet someone and fall in love or else the company that was rightfully his would go to someone else. Harper Holland was beautiful and sexy. She was the perfect woman to ensure his grandfather signed the company over to him. After all, she was pregnant with Grayson's child, only she didn't know he was the father. Once Grayson gets his company, he would end the "so called" relationship. The problem was Grayson never expected something so easy to become the hardest decision of his life.

     Every time a new Sandi Lynn book comes out more often than not I cannot wait to read it and The Donor was one of them. I managed to finish The Donor in one day I just could not seem to put it down. It was for sure a good read, but while it wasn't one of Sandi's best it was an enjoyable read.

Cash By: Cassio Leo

     Kara can't believe her luck when she lands a job dealing blackjack at the new Billionaire Club in Las Vegas. And it keeps getting better when she meets bad boy Cash Westbrook her first night on the job. Despite the fact that he uses his flirtatious charms to make Kara look slightly incompetent, the $10,000 tip he leaves will go a long way toward paying off her father's gambling debts. So when Kara walks out to the employee parking lot after her shift and finds Cash leaning against her car, she knows she's about to be taken for a wild ride. What she doesn't expect is for him to proposition her after a single one-night stand. 
     If Kara pretends to be his fiancee and they convince the board at Westbrook Oil that Cash is ready to settle down, she'll get one million dollars. Sounds easy enough, until she quickly finds herself falling for him. And when it comes to love, all bets are off. 

     I've had Cash in my to read for a while now but I've only recently got the chance to read it. Because up until this point there were other books that I wanted to read first. But once I started reading Cash I didn't want to stop and ended up finishing this book in no time at all.

Becoming His (A King Family #1) By: Ami Van

    
      Derrick King and his brothers are the ruthless heads of a crime family. KINGS. They've built their empire to become what it is today, collecting fortune and power, bending rules and taking over whoever stood in their way. Tall, dark, and sinfully gorgeous, Derrick as the head of the family never went to bed alone yet never slept in a bed with any woman either. Until she came along and becomes the light to his darkness. Now she was his....
     Stellina Dane was a chef who moved across the country in search of a change. Sweet and innocent, she meets a tall, brooding stranger in a club of all places. His energy pulls at her and draws her in as much as their easy-going conversations. When his life spills into hers, she should have run. But she didn't...she wanted him. How was she supposed to keep a man like him satisfied and tamed? Plus, she's got secrets of her own that she didn't want him or anyone else to know.

     Becoming His started out well enough but as the book progressed I got less and less interested. By the time I reached the forty percent mark in this book I was like 'what's left to happen?' It seemed like so much had happened already and I still had so much more to read. Why I kept reading at this point is beyond me but I did. I read all the way to the end.
      Am I happy I continued reading on, not really I could have stopped reading at the forty percent mark and it would have made no difference to me. Needless to say I will not be continuing on with this series.

Stay (Wags #2) By: Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy

     Hailey Taylor Emery has a hunch that her favorite client at Fetch - - an anonymous virtual assistant service - - is actually hockey star Matt Erikkson.
     Although it's against the rules for her to check his file, she's 95% sure she spends at least part of each day texting with her lifelong crush and catering to his every need. Still nursing a wounded heart thanks to her recent breakup, Hailey is perfectly content with some harmless online flirting...until she has to meet her client. Face to face. Cue: utter panic.
      Matt Eriksson is no stranger to heartbreak. He's still not over the destuction of his marriage, and it sucks to be the only guy on the team who knows the truth - - that hockey and long-term relationships aree a toxic mix. He barley sees his kids, and dealing with his ex makes him feel insane. The only person in his life who seems to understand is someone who won't show her pretty face.
      But it's nothing that a pair of fourth row hockey seats can't fix. Hailey can't resist the offer. Matt can't resist Hailey. Good thing he doesn't have to. Fire up the kiss cam!

     I loved reading Stay, it was such a good read.

Elijah Wolfe (Wolfe Brothers #1) By: Sandi Lynn

      When Elijah steps inside the courtroom, things happen. Opposing counsel cringes and the judges take in a deep breath because they know what they're in for. They have held Elijah in contempt more times than he could count, and he's never lost a case. They don't call him the "Wolfe" for nothing. He's decisive, aggressive and strong, both in the courtroom and in the bedroom. Elijah likes order and control, and everyone knows it. Everyone except for Aspen Michaelson, the new associate Elijah's mother hired to work at their firm. Her interview wasn't the first time Elijah laid eyes on her and her sexy body. The two shared one magical night together in Hawaii. They were two strangers who only knew each other's first names. She left in the middle of the night without a word. He never forgave her for that. He was the one who always left, not the other way around. Now that she worked for him, he would do everything in his power to make her pay for that night, to show her he was the boss both in the office and in the bedroom. But he found himself losing all control around her and her quirky ways and he didn't know how to stop it.
      After her father passed away, Aspen moved from Connecticut to New York City where her sister and his husband lived. Working at a prestigious law firm in New York had always been a dream of hers. Caitlin Wolfe made that dream come true when she hired Aspen to work at her top law firm. Little did she know, Elijah Wolfe, the man she had one amazing night with in Hawaii, was her son, senior partner, and future CEO of Wolfe & Associates. He looked just as sexy in New York as he did in Hawaii, but he was different. He was cold and calculating. Not the man who seduced Aspen and brought her back to his suite. He was her boss, and he was setting her up to fail. The one thing he didn't know about her was that she played the game just as good as he did, if not better. Aspen needed to stay in control of both her body and her mind, but he made it very difficult with his tailored designer suits and the cologne he wore that sent Aspen's pheromones into overdrive.
      Let the games begin...

      After reading some less than stellar books from Sandi Lynn Elijah Wood brought me back to why I loved reading Sandi Lynn's books. I could not put this book down and it will definitely be one that I will be reading again. Once again the only drawback for this whole thing is, the seemed to go by way too quickly. But other than that this book was great.

Enemies By: Tijan

     
     Stone Reeves was her neighbor, and Dusty has hated him since the sixth grade. Gorgeous and charismatic, he became the town's football god, while Dusty became the town's invisible girl. He went to a Division 1 school for football, while her father was fired by his father. His team won the National Championship, while her mother died the same day. He was a first round pick for the NFL...while Dusty had the worst decision of her life.
      Now Dusty's in Texas trying to pick up the pieces of her life. But Stone is here. Stone is everywhere.
      It doesn't matter that disaster has struck her life again. It doesn't matter that he's the one trying to console her. It doesn't matter that he's the nation's newest football obsession.
      Because for Dusty, he always has been and always will be her enemy.

      When I first started reading Enemies I wasn't really into it. The only reason I kept reading is because one of my favorites books of Tijan I actually didn't like at first. It wasn't until I had started making a dent in the book that I really started to enjoy it. So given that this has happened before I thought, why not keep reading. And while I did start to get into Enemies after a while it wasn't with the same interest as Tijan's other books. I did ultimately finish reading Enemies and in the end I found it to just be an okay read. Did I enjoy reading it? Kind of, sort of. Would I read it again? Probably not.
