Stolen Soul Mate (Crowne Point #2) By: Mary Catherine Gebhard

                                                  
     There's a rule in Crowne Hall: never look a Crowne in the eye.
     It separates the 'us' (servants) and 'them' (Crowne family).
     Story broke it once, the night Grayson Crowne mistook her for his true love and stole her first kiss. She's regretted it ever since.
      He hates her. Her torments her. He won't let her go, because that night he whispered a secret against Story's lips not meant for her. Grayson Crowne, heir to the Crowne empire and notorious playboy prince is...a virgin.
      Story signed a contract in her heart's blood as much as ink: help him get back his love, repair what she broke. Give Grayson her body, her mind, let him use all of her, so when the time comes to marry his love, he won't need Story.
     Story shouldn't need him. But he's her stolen soulmate, and she's at his mercy.

     The dynamite between Story and Grayson was something else and yet I could not get enough of it. In Stolen Soul Mate Gebhard really brings home the point that the grass isn't always greener on the other side but also that you can't judge a book by its cover. Grayson on the outside seems like the ultimate player when the truth couldn't be anything further. I loved reading Stolen Soul Mate and I cannot wait to read the conclusion to their story.

The Obsession (Filthy Rich Americans #2) By: Nikki Sloane

     The Hale family is obsession with status, power, and control. No problem is too big their money can't solve.
      Royce Hale manipulated Marist into giving him everything. Her virginity. Her hand in marriage. Her heart. And as soon as he got what he wanted, he callously sold Marist off for a cool ten million.
     In the boardroom and the twisted game his family plays, he says the only rule is to win at all costs.
     Yesterday she learned a painful lesson not to trust the prince of Cape Hill. Today she'll destroy his carefully laid plans and show him just how badly he's already lost.
     All the money in the world won't be able to stop him.

     After having The Obsession in my to read pile for quite some time I am finally getting around to reading the second book in the Filthy Rich Americans series. And while it may have taken me forever to get around to reading The Obsession, once I started I couldn't put it down. And now I cannot wait to read the conclusion of Royce and Marist's story.

The Sinful King By: Claire Contreras

     If you had any ties to Marbella, it was impossible for you not to have heard the stories about Prince Elias and his debauchery. 
     Every summer he arrived with his security detail and friends in tow and rented out a row of cottages near the water. Cottages that belonged to Adeline's family. 
     Each of those summers Adeline's parents sent her away - summer camp and later, boarding school. Anything to keep Adeline away from the royals and their partying. 
     Adeline hasn't been home in years, but when she finally comes back for the summer, she can see that not much has changed. Like all the summers she'd been gone. Price Elias is back, but this time with an incognito security detail and no friends. This time, there is no partying, no noise, no crowds. No reason at all to even think he was there. 
     She's given strict orders not to talk to him, not to even look in his direction, but he makes this an impossible task. Adeline may be doing everything in her power to stay away from him, but there is no one in the world who can say no to the future King of France. 


     When I first started reading The Sinful King I wasn't really sure what to expect. I read the sample and I thought, ok this could go either way but kept reading anyways. And slowly but surely once I really started reading I could not stop and managed to finish in one day. This was not only a story that I enjoyed reading but one that I would definitely read again.

The Girl Next Door By: Jessica Sucevic

     Mia Stanbury is the quintessential girl next door. Smart, beautiful, and determined. She's got it all going on. Is it any wonder that she's been on Beck's radar for as long as he can remember? We're talking middle school, folks.
     While Beck will admit he's made a few boneheaded mistakes as fas as she's concerned, but what can he say? He's a dude. Sometimes he thinks with the wrong head. We'll just chalk it up to one of the hazards of having a Y chromosome and leave it at that.
     But Beck's older now. More mature. Sort of.
     Mila has spent all of high school and college keeping Beck at a distance. If she didn't melt in Beck's arms every time he puts his hands of her, he'd almost think she was immune to his charms. Turns out that's not the case. This is their last year at Wesley before they go their separate ways. Beck to the NFL, her to law school. It's now or never. Beck's done playing games and allowing Mia to push  him away. Beck was Mia's first and he damn well will be her last.

     I surprisingly could not get enough on The Girl Next Door. and I say surprisingly only because I wasn't sure how much I would actually like this book. While The Girl Next Door is written in kind of a fast pace style I didn't mind it when that's not usually the case. It was just fast paced enough without getting to be too annoying and disinteresting.

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.
