Review ~ Stuck -Up Suit by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward




From the New York Times Bestselling authors of Cocky Bastard, comes a sexy new standalone novel.

It started out like any other morning on the train.
Until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle.
He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world.
Who did the stuck-up suit think he was...God?
Actually, he looked like a God. That was about it.
When his stop came, he got up suddenly and left. So suddenly, he dropped his phone on the way out.
I might have picked it up.
I might have gone through all of his photos and called some of the numbers.
I might have held onto the mystery man's phone for days―until I finally conjured up the courage to return it.
When I traipsed my ass across town to his fancy company, he refused to see me.
So, I left the phone on the empty desk outside the arrogant jerk's office.
I might have also left behind a dirty picture on it first though.
I didn't expect him to text back.
I didn't expect our exchanges to be hot as hell.
I didn't expect to fall for him―all before we even met.
The two of us couldn't have been any more different.
Yet, you know what they say about opposites.
When we finally came face to face, we found out opposites sometimes do more than attract―we consumed each other.
Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on. And I certainly wasn't prepared for where I'd wind up when the ride was over.
All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Omg !! This is a must read !! Funny, witty, and unique. I can honestly say I am a little in awe Stuck-Up Suit.

If you are looking for a little pick me up, with a few hiccups along the way 'this is the book for you."

Graham aka "MR. Big Prick" is anything but pleasant, everyone walks on egg shells when he is around. Well all but Soraya. She has no problem telling him like it is.
The sexy comical banter between Graham and Soraya will have you laughing out loud. I loved how they met, the build up to discovering who was the mystery woman that threw Mr. MBP for a loop. I actually found myself wanting it all to go a little longer.

These two authors are perfect together. I can not wait to see what they have in store for their readers next..

This story was fantastic,
Buy it, read it. Your going to love it.
Highly recommend!

Review ~ Fearless by Nicole Edwards









My rating: 5 of 5 stars


5 Fearless stars..

Nicole Edwards never fails to amaze me. I get a giddy every time I pick up one of her books. Her love and devotion of her character shines in her writing.

Fearless is the second book in the Pier 70 series and I loved how this story starts out. Nicole Edwards take you back fifteen years and gives you incite to the events that put Noah and Dare on the
path their lives are on.

Dare Davis is one of the four owners of the Pier 70 Marina. He is the Jokester of the bunch, always has a prank up his sleeve and he never backs down from a dare. He has had one serious relationship that left him brokenhearted and afraid of commitment. Noah the sexy firefighter. He thrives for order, promptness, and has a bit of OCD tendencies.

Now with an unknowing Milly's playing matchmaker Noah finds himself face to face with the one that got away. Will Dare and Noah get a second chance at love?

I loved how Nicole Edwards threw in little snippets of Hudson and Teague. I am so intrigued by them. I cannot wait for their story to unfold. And Oh how I loved Grams. I laugh every time I think of her "slap and tickle".

Overall this was a very enjoyable read. The writing is exceptional, plot it solid and smooth flowing very easy to read. The secondary character are freaking amazing. I can only pray we get their stories. Highly recommend reading..

Fearless can be read and enjoyed as a standalone but, I highly recommend reading Reckless first and only because it is so awesome.

Review ~ For Now by M. Dauphin


My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Unforgettable stars.

"For Now" reaches in and grabs a hold of your heart. "Expect the unexpected."


I have been in an emotional meltdown over my review for this story since I first read this. M. Dauphin really threw me a curve ball with For Now. It was nothing at all like what I expected and better than anything I could of hoped for.

Its sexy, sad, hopeful, and heartbreaking. The emotional connection of these character drawn you in a you become fast friends. The bond is unbreakable and their love for each other is endless. Remarkable story.

This is M. Dauphin's best work EVER !!

I highly recommend. For Now is book 1 in The Promise Series.

5 Star Review ~ Undone Vol. 3 by Callie Harper














Undone, Volume 3


It’s on, the storm of the century, trapping Ana and Ash up in a mountain cabin. The snowplows don’t need to worry about their road. They melt the snow all on their own. But after the storm ends, can this “fake” romance survive reality, the harshest test of all? 















































Undone, Volume 3 (Undone, #3)

Ash 
The world already hates me for being a player. Now I’m a kidnapper, too. I drove off with Ana while she was drunk as a skunk after a New Year’s party in Vegas. She didn’t exactly say she wanted to go away with me. In fact, when we last spoke she seemed pretty interested in quitting me. Then she passed out.

Ana 
New Year’s Day I woke up in a mountain cabin with Ash Black, nothing but the sound of the wind and snow falling thick all around us. There’s nothing I’ve been more afraid of than this. Just us, no distractions, no paparazzi, no interfering agents or crazed fans. All that noise made it easier to hide from the feelings building up inside of me. I’m terrified of the way he makes me feel, the way I’m falling for him so hard.




My rating: 5 of 5 stars




Hell Yes !!! What a perfect conclusion to Ash and Ana's story. This is the final volume in the Undone series, and it does not disappoint and it is seriously hot...

Ash has whisked a unknowing Ana off to the bands cabin and he has one thing in mind and that is to possess her.




My breath came fast. “Give yourself to me, Anika.” His fingers stroked as his voice coated me in velvet seduction. “Surrender to me.”


Ash and Ana are both struggling with their feelings. The end of their fake relationship looming upon them choices and decisions must be made.

Are you ready to be Undone?

Excellent story telling, this series is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend this series. I cannot wait for Heath (Mountain Man's) story.. In the mean time I will be catching up with the Unleashed series.

Would I recommend this Series? Absolutely !

_______________________________

Undone, Volume 1 


 Take one bad boy rock god. Mix slowly with one wholesome librarian. Add a dash of paparazzi, a twist of scandal, and you won’t believe how good this dish tastes. 

    Ash  It’s pretty easy being a rock god. Party. Perform. P*ssy. Repeat. I’m 26 and it’s worked for me for years. Until I was caught ripping out the heart of America’s Sweetheart in a video gone viral. Now #HatePlayerAsh is trending on Twitter, she’s writing a song about how much I suck and I’m in desperate need image rehab, fast. 

Ana Ash Black. In my library. Under my desk. It’s hard to believe it happened. I’ve listened to his voice so many times, my favorite soundtrack as I walk the streets of New York. My secret bad boy crush, the smoldering, shirtless star of the tabloids, all muscles and tattoos. Then one day he shows up and kisses me in my break room. 
What’s even crazier is how he wants me to spend the next month. At his shows in L.A., San Francisco and Vegas, candlelight dinners in New York and Paris. He wants the world to believe he’s fallen in love. With me. 
I’ve got to say no. He’s a walking disaster with a dirty mouth and wicked hands that melt my panties right off of me. This month would take everything in my well-ordered, neat little life and shake it up like a snowglobe. 
Then why am I so tempted to say yes?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow !!! OMG this book was fantastic ... This is one of those books that before I ever get finished with prologue or the "One Month From Now", I knew this was going to be good. Let me just say it has surpassed good and went to tremendously fantastic.

Callie Harper turns the heat up right from the start.

Anika (Ana) is a children's librarian, and piano teacher. She is sweet and innocent your all around good girl. She is looking for a little excitement in her life, but when Ash Black comes barreling into her life she might get more than she bargains for.

Ash Black, sexy, arrogant, bad boy rock star. Sex, drugs rock and roll. He is the whole package. After a bad public break up with america's sweetheart Ash finds himself in a bit of a trouble. Fans are hating on him, social media is blowing up and its time for some serious image rehab. #OperationImageReform

I am new to this author so I wasn't sure what to expect going in this story. I am please to say I loved it Callie Harper rocked my world with Undone. Highly Recommend.

Undone, Volume 2 



It’s image rehab, plain and simple. A month of fake romance to convince the press that bad boy rocker Ash Black has fallen for a good girl librarian. It should be easy. It’s anything but.

Ash 
New York City. Vegas. Paris. A whirlwind tour for our whirlwind romance, every step, smile and kiss photographed from every angle. It’s all going according to plan, rehabbing my bad boy rock star image by falling hard for a sweet, wholesome librarian. 
There are all kinds of reasons to keep my hands off her. The no-sex clause in our contract. Paparazzi around every corner. She doesn’t trust me because she thinks I’m a player, and she’s right. 
But I’m done playing by the rules. I’m rock star Ash Black and I’ve never been good at doing what other people tell me. I’m done mugging for the cameras. 
I want her alone, all to myself, where the only rules are the ones I dictate. When it’s just us, there’ll be nothing fake about her begging me to let her come. I’m a musician, baby, and believe me, I’m going to savor the sound of her every pant, gasp and moan. 

Ana 
It’s just a show, a month-long façade. I need to keep my head in the game, my heart under wraps and my body out of reach of his wickedly talented hands. 
He’s not making it easy for me. Every time I watch him perform, I go weak in the knees. Every time he romances me over a candlelight dinner, I melt. And the few moments he’s caught me alone, he’s started a fire in me unlike anything I’ve ever felt before. It’s roaring, licking, burning me up. 
I’m not good at pretending. And with the heat he’s building in me, I’m not sure how long I’m going to last. One month can feel like forever when you’re so close to exactly what you want but not allowed to touch it. Sooner or later, a girl has to reach out and touch.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am so over the moon about this series. Callie Harper has done it again. I am completely hooked.
This has been one hot bundle of emotions, and anticipation. I am so head over heels in love with these characters. Who doesn't like a dirty talking rock star?

Ash and Ana's story picks up right where we left off. As a PR stunt to repair Ash's image, Ana has agreed to be Ash's girlfriend for one month, then publicly break it off with him. In return Ash funds the Library Ana works for to prevent it from being closed down. Easy enough. Right? What happens when pretend turns into real?

I am so happy this book was much longer than the first one because I just cannot seem to get enough of Ash and Ana. I can not wait to see what Callie Harper has in store for the next volume in this series.

This series is a must read.
