![]() Our greatest risk was the one we never took … It was an accidental spring fling three years ago—one week spent in the mountains of Big Sur and no one was the wiser. Ignore the fact that Tobias James was my neighbor and my best friend’s older brother. Or that upon our return his hoop dreams were waiting for him, robbing us of any potential future we could have shared. Now, I’m fulfilling my own dreams in L.A. and my biggest dream of all is about to come true. The last thing I expected was for my past and my present to collide. Not now. Not here. Not him. But he struts back into my life like he never even left. Unfortunately, I’ll never forget what happened after he did. The ball is in my court, but Tobias isn’t below stealing—my power, my resolve, my heart… When he wants a second chance to reignite our connection, my answer is simple. We can’t.

![]() One hundred years ago when I was young and impulsive (okay, it was five, alright? Five years ago...) I let my boyfriend take, let's just say... compromising pictures of me. (Shut up. It made sense at the time). Surprise! The sleazy back-stabbing jerk posted them on a website and, well, you can guess what happened. That's right. I'm a meme. A really gross one. You've seen the pictures. And if you haven't - don't ask. And don't look! As face recognition software online improves, I get tagged on social media whenever anyone shares my pictures. You try getting a thousand notifications a day, all of them pictures of your tatas. So. I'm done. It's time for revenge. Let him see how it feels! But how do you get embarrassingly intimate pictures of your jerkface ex who double-crossed you five years ago? Especially when he's a member of the U.S.House of Representatives now? Getting sweet between the sheets with a congressman is pretty much every political roadie's dream, right? I'm one in a crowd. Except to this day, he swears he didn't do it. Pursued me for months after I dumped him five years ago. Begged me to take him back. And I almost did it. Almost. I was weak and stupid and in love a hundred years ago. Okay. Fine. Five. But I still have the upper hand. Second chance romance has all the emotional feels, doesn't it? I can't wait to punch him in the feels. All I need to do is sleep with him once, take some hot-and-sweaty pics of him in... delicate positions, and bring him down. That's it. Nothing more. Pictures first. Revenge after. And then I win. At least, that's how it was supposed to happen. But then I did something worse than sexting. I fell in love with him. Again. Another brilliant rom-com from Julia Kent, these characters are contagious, I laughed so many times, a mood up-lifter for sure. Quirky characters, three women who each in their own way are oddballs. I read fluffy, loved it and this is the second book in the series featuring Mallory's best friend Perky in a second chance romance with Parker. Perky is full of laugh out loud moments, hot moments, embarrassing moments, witty characters, sisterhood & second chances. A recommended light uplifting read that is guaranteed to make you fall in love with these characters and bring a smile to your face. Looking forward to more and Fiona's story.

READ THE FIRST BOOK IN THE SERIES TODAY!! It all started with the wrong Help Wanted ad. Of course it did. I’m a professional fluffer. It’s NOT what you think. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits. Sigh. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Laugh. I’ll wait. See? That’s the problem. My career has used the term “fluffer” for decades. I didn’t even know there was a more… lascivious definition of the term. Until it was too late. The ad for a “professional fluffer” on Craigslist seemed like divine intervention. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day. The perfect job! Staging homes means showing your best angle. The same principle applies in making a certain kind of movie. Turns out a “fluffer” doesn’t arrange decorative pillows on a couch. They arrange other soft, round-ish objects. The job isn’t hard. Er, I mean, it is — it’s about being hard. Or, well… helping other people to be hard. Oh, man… And that’s the other problem. A man. No, not one of the stars on the movie set. Will Lotham – my high school crush. The owner of the house where we’re filming. Illegally. In a vacation rental. By the time the cops show up, what I thought was just a great house staging gig turned into a nightmare involving pictures of me with an undressed star, Will rescuing me from an arrest, and a humiliating lesson in my own naivete. My job turned out to be so much harder than I expected. But you know what’s easier than I ever imagined? Having all my dreams come true.

Bookbub: http://bit.ly/2ThoLrZ ![]() A new sexy standalone novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Vi Keeland. The first time I met Caine West was in a bar. He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out. When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight―telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass. You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend-smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married. He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he'd done. Especially when that lazy smile graced his perfect face in response to my rant. Only it turned out, the man I'd just told off wasn't the right guy. Oops. My mistake. Embarrassed, I slunk out without an apology. I was never going to see the handsome stranger again anyway, right? That's what I thought...until I walked into class the next morning. Well, hello Professor West, I'm your new teaching assistant. I'll be working under you...figuratively speaking. Although the literal interpretation might not be such a bad thing―working under Professor West. This was going to be interesting... ![]() , AI listened to Beautiful Mistake on audio, this is part of a brilliant bargain box set along with Drunk Dial by Penelope Reid and SAY I'M YOURS by Corine Michael's. Three authors who I always one click and I also love their audio versions of the book. Beautiful Mistake is a Student/Teaching assistant and Teacher romance but so much more. Weaved through the story there is a young boy and girl, a girl who lives in an abusive home and a teenage boy who pretends to be a priest in a confessional box. When Caine and Rachel are re-united years later neither connect the dots, Rachel still believes to this day the person she told her secrets to was a priest and Caine does not know this is the little girl he once listened to week in week out until one Saturday she never came back and now the same girl now a woman is the TA in his class. I loved this part of the story. I love Vi Keeland's books, there is a perfect mix of angst, hotness, humour, a story-line that keeps you hooked and a swoon-worthy hero. I would definitely recommend this box set or just this book alone, second chances are my weakness. Told in first person dual pov and leads to a hea.

He’s nice, but boring, and their relationship has lost its spark. But steady and predictable Thom, suddenly doesn’t seem so steady and predictable when their condo explodes and she’s kidnapped by a couple of crazies claiming that Thom isn’t who he says he is. Thom is having a hellish week. Not only is he hunting a double agent, but his fiancé dumped him, and thanks to his undercover life, she’s been kidnapped. Turns out Thom is Operative Thom and he’s got more than a few secrets to share with Betty if he’s going to keep her alive. With both their lives on the line, their lackluster connection is suddenly replaced by an intense one. But in his line of work, feelings aren’t wanted or desired. Because feelings can be a lethal distraction ![]() Wow, this was action packed! I have read a few books by Kylie Scott before but not like this, it took me by surprise. The characters; I loved Betty, she was adorable, a woman with backbone and she made me laugh, a curvy girl who said it how it was. "I think I'd prefer a jerk who was genuinely Into me than a nice guy phoning it in. Honestly, I'd rather go adopt a dozen cats and settle into old age and isolation than be with someone who treats me as if I'm an afterthought" I was immediately hooked on the plot, Betty started to pack up her belongings because the guy she had been in a relationship with for a year was rarely home, always working away, the sex was mediocre and she felt he was't really with her even when he was home, he always seemed distracted with work which she thought was as an insurance assessor, so when he went off on business again without having the chat Betty had asked for to discuss their relationship, Betty with the help of her friend began to pack up her belongings and move out, they filled the car and then all of a sudden BOOM, the house blows up. Betty was an ordinary woman in an ordinary yet boring relationship as she described it and then all of a sudden her life changed, she finds out her boyfriend isn't as boring as she thought, not in his job and definitely not in the bedroom, quite the opposite in fact. There's plenty of action in LIES, shootings, FBI agents, espionage, danger and of course romance. A definite must read for someone who likes lots of action, drama, humor, great characters and a hea in their romance reads.

This is Summer's story and wow! I did not expect that. I was completely addicted to the story and could not put it down, from the very first pages I was hooked. The youngest sister, Summer is sweet, easy-going, nothing like her brothers or sister, she is the one in the shadows, the one we always saw in the background being looked out for by her overprotective brothers. Summer had a presence in other books and you got small glimpses of what was going on in her life, like when she first started dating and her brothers would interfere but how this whole book went, I can honestly say I didn't see it coming. I love this series and that is coming from someone who isn't usually a College or YA romance fan, the writing and plot has to really captivate me and L.A Cotton has done this time and time again in each book she writes. If you are a follower of this series then you are going to love this, so get one-clicking. Can be read as a standalone but I would highly recommend delving into this series, get to know all the characters, love the angst the family dramas, the teenage high's and lows, its a brilliant series to get stuck into.

Two very complex and damaged characters. Birdie is the sister of Gypsy from the first book Confess. Gypsy has now settled down and is due to give birth but she still can't help worrying about her younger sister who has gone of the rails since she became old enough to fend for herself and is no longer under Gypsy's wing. Birdie is a strong character with a past of abuse, If you have read the first book you will have some idea of what these two girls went through in their childhood and what they did to survive. Birdie was still turning tricks and stalking men in casino's until Gypsy stepped in and asked Lucian who is now her husband to help her by keeping Birdie safe and out of trouble until after the baby is born to ease her of worry. Lucian contacts Ace who is a member of an MC but also close to Lucian. Lucian saved Ace when he had nowhere to go and no-one to turn to, he had served years in prison for a crime he didn't commit and Lucian was his saviour, Ace was indebted to him and without being asked twice, Ace agreed to get Birdie willing or not and keep her with him. If you have watched the film The Green Mile then you know what I mean when I say Ace reminded me of the main character in that film, not quite the same character, opposites in fact but I could not stop thinking about the similarities in other ways. I felt for Ace, for what he had been through as a child, for what he went through in prison, the wasted years and the things he put himself through as an adult. One look at Birdie when he first met her and this man who had never had any feelings of love or care for another except a girl long ago who was taken from him began to be obsessed with Birdie, another reason why he immediately agreed when Lucian had asked him to take care of Birdie. Ace was possessive, protective and although Birdie went kicking and screaming at first, the development in their relationship was heartwarming. I could not put this book down, I didn't want to break the momentum I had while reading about these two characters and the excitement of what was to come. There is angst, danger, heartwarming moments, hotness and characters that are complicated until they complete one-another. CONVICT is not an MC read although Ace is part of one, the plot very much focuses on the characters and what is going on in their lives and not club business like you would find in an MC read. Told in first person's dual pov, leads to hea, can be read as a standalone. Another brilliant read from A. Zavarelli. Arc received for review purposes. READ THE FIRST BOOK CONFESS NOW!

I actually got a tissue out for this one. Prescott Lane always manages to touch my heart with her characters, she is an amazing writer and I have got to the point now were I just one click anything she writes. JUST LOVE is a friends to lovers story but more than that. Charlie and Brody lost their parents in a tragic accident, Ainsley was just 15 at the time so Brody became her carer and along with his girlfriend Skye and his best friend Rhett they worked around their studies and all pitched in to raise Charlie. Ainsley moves away to college and on her return Rhett realises he no longer looks at Ainsley like a little sister, his feeling go deeper than that and the feelings are reciprocated. A secret relationship develops and of course it has to stay secret, neither of them want Brody to know, not in the early days anyway. This is really early on in the story which goes from past to present so you know something happens further on in the story that separates them at some point. I was so eager to find out what happened and when I did, oh my heart, I did not expect such a heart-breaker in this story. No-one dies, no-one cheats but there is an underlying message to this story, some people love you for who you are, broken pieces and all and sometimes you just have to let them and stop seeing your flaws, stop seeing yourself as unlovable, seeing your cracks, your insecurities, your illness, your disability, whatever it is let yourself be loved. Told in first person dual pov and leads to a hea. A recommended heart warmer, a beautiful love story and ideal Sunday read.

And just like that, our friendship was off to a great start. Reese Forster was the starting point guard for the Seattle Thunder. Gorgeous. Cocky. Loved by the nation. He's also attending preseason basketball training camp where I used to work. Correction: where I work again, because I was fired from my last job. And dumped. And I might have a tiny bit of baggage, but that's normal. Right? Reese and I shouldn't have become friends. We shouldn't have become roommates.

What a heartfelt story. TEARDROP SHOT is so much more than a sports romance, yes, the main character Reese is a famous Basketball player but there's is so much depth within the plot, so many touching moments and I felt a strong connection to the characters, so it's not just about a sport's star, it's about the man behind the sport star and it's also about the woman he meets who makes this star who was beginning to fade shine brighter. Two characters who meet and breath new life into each other. Charlie at first comes across as an odd ball, a little wacky with no mouth filter but behind the verbal dilemmas, she's a young woman hurting, hiding and afraid to start living again. Charlie is a huge baseball fan so when she is working at a camp and discovers her idol is going to be there she loses it. Charlie is funny, you cant help but laugh at what comes out of her mouth or in her thoughts she is a woman with backbone and a great character. You could say the stars align when Charlie and Reese first meet, I was swept away with this friends to lovers story. Charlie and Reese are both grieving the loss of loved ones, not by death but by circumstances, illness, choices others have made, their story is a tear-jerker, a heart-warmer and fan me down hot, a story you won't want to put down. A completely different kind of read from Tijan and I want more, I loved it all. One of my favourite reads this year.

I spent twenty years waiting for Trent Hennington to open his eyes and see me. But it was all for nothing. He chose to keep himself guarded and let me walk away, proving that my time and efforts were wasted. I’m done being invisible. It’s time to move on. A single dance sets my new reality into motion, and I welcome it. After all, Cooper Townsend is perfect. He’s kind, sexy, and attentive—everything a girl could want. I thought I got it right this time. That my heart could mend, and I would be happy.

Say I'm yours is book three in the Return to me series, I am already itching to read more. I loved this book but it wasn't without its frustrations, Trent Hennington is the oldest of the Hennington brothers, I haven't read previous books YET and thankfully there weren't any spoilers to deter me from reading the previous books. Trent is the town sheriff and although he has loved the same woman for years, he has never really committed to her. Trent really made the girl he loved work hard at keeping him until finally he lost her. Grace has loved Trent most of her life, while all her friends are settling down and having kids she is still at a stalemate with the man she loves who doesn't seem to want to go any further and their relationship has been on and off more times than a light switch. Grace makes a big decision to move on, to look elsewhere for what she wants in life and that is someone to settle down with. Grace moves on and begins to date again and Trent, well, he becomes the prime example of a man who truly knows what he had once he lost it. In this small town Grace being single again soon gets around quick and it just so happens Trent's friend Cooper is only too willing to take Trent's place. This isn't a love triangle story and I adored Cooper, he was so swoon-worthy and everything Grace was looking for at that time and although Grace Tries to date Cooper, she just can't let go of her love for Trent. I really felt for Grace, I found her need to beg Trent at times sad, he loved her but there was just something holding him back.

I laughed, swooned, adored the characters, got frustrated and felt my heart skip at the hea. Emory is starting college in a new city after 6 wasted years with a boy who she found cheating on her. She's meek but ballsy, funny but sometimes a little to emotional, Emory has a beautiful soul but carries a whole lot of insecurities and Knox Gentry, rising star in college baseball is just the guy to put her back together. As soon as Knox see's Emory he has it bad but with Em being hurt before she is more focused on her studies than having a relationship but as Knox perseverance continues how can she resist Knox with all his southern charm and hotness. The Locker Room is a slow burn romance that is all kinds of sweet but not without its frustrations with the characters, well mainly Emory, I wanted to shake her at times. It was brilliant, I was getting all kinds of excited for Em and Knox's relationship, I loved their cuteness, the banter, the sexual tension and thought YES! when I thought it was finally going to the next level in their relationship until BAM it turns into a second chance romance. I loved it, don't get me wrong but it had a plot downer that I struggled to get up from. Emory and Knox do have a hea that filled me with all kinds of relief and once again I swooned and Knox currently has pride of place on my bbf shelf. The side characters were also entertaining and added humour, they were great and a close knit group of friends to either Knox or Em, both the girls and his team mates, they are a great addition and I would love more from them too.

There's a lot of angst, plotting, revenge, murder,twists and turns and an exciting plot. There are some very adult scenes and sometimes it is hard to believe these are teen/young adults. Fans of LJ Shen and Tijan will love this series. This book does have a conclusion and a hea but also gives you hints of more to come with other characters and it looks very exciting. ![]() START THE SERIES TODAY What do you do when the devil has you in his sights?

Away from our MC club, all his responsibilities, and me. We haven’t spoken since the day he handed me the keys to the kingdom. Shoved them down my throat was more like it. I hate him, and the new family he’s playing house with. He left his entire life behind for a woman he barely knows. But I’m strong, resilient, and don’t need a damn soul to survive. At least, that’s what I thought...until she walked into my bar. Kira Someone is watching me. I can feel it. I wake up in the middle of the night freaked out of my mind, paranoid a stranger is there. My skin prickles every time I leave my house, because I know someone is following me. I’m afraid. Alone. And there’s only one person left to turn to. The stepbrother I never met. The man my stepfather speaks so highly about, but never sees. He’s the president of a notorious motorcycle club, and exactly the kind of person I need to protect me. Little did I know, Ky Parish, freakin’ hates my guts. Slashes in the Snow is an enemies to lovers, stepbrother romance, romantic suspense (emphasis on romance) with dark elements.

Not your typical step-brother romance. Kira is currently living alone in her mother's big house and strange things begin to happen, she knows someone has been coming into the house, while she is asleep and when she is out, she also feels like she is being watched, so with her mother and stepfather away she seeks out Ky who she has heard a lot about from her new stepfather and she hopes he can help her. Ky is the president of an MC since his father abandoned the club for love and he hasn't spoken to his father since. Ky is stubborn and a typical MC president, he's hard, hot and a whole lot of stubborn. Ky has a big chip on his shoulder regarding his father and views his father's new relationship as not only the reason for abandoning Ky but the club too, so anyone associated with his father isn't going to get a warm welcome and Kira definitely didn't. Kira may be the step-sister he has never met but she certainly isn't welcome with open arms. This is were the enemy to lovers trope come's into play. I loved the angst, the hotness the progress from Ky and Kira's hate relationship to becoming more, the changes in Ky as he began to let Kira in and the added bonus club business and danger in the plot. This was an all rounder for me, I really enjoyed it, a good girl meets bad boy, I am a big fan of MC reads when written right and this certainly was written well by M Never, the balance was fantastic, I followed with ease and if this was a book I would no doubt have read in one sitting. I listened to this in audio which was brilliantly narrated by the female narrator but the male narrator is either portraying Ky as a really, really laid back character or he just really has a voice that is monotone with not much feeling and emotion were it should have been, however, this did nor to take away my enjoyment from the story though. Told in first person dual pov, leads to heartwarming hea.

As much as it kills me, that’s never going to change. After his little disappearing act three years ago, then suddenly showing up out of nowhere, I shouldn't want anything to do with him. It doesn’t matter how beautiful he still is. Or how close we once were. It shouldn’t matter that my entire body lights on fire with need whenever he gets close. He chose the worst possible time to leave without so much as a goodbye. However, just like the first day he walked into our home, I'm drawn to him, needing him near me just as badly as I need air to breathe, and I can't stand it. I want to hate him. I know I should hate him. But hating him is the last thing he'll let me do. I push, he pulls harder, until I'm completely wrapped up in him, my mind lost in the one person who is forbidden—the one person I’ve always loved, even when he belonged to someone else. Easton was never meant to be mine. It took me years to come to terms with that and now that I finally have, he's here, right in front of me, more irresistible than ever. The part I fear the most about that—he’s the one person capable of completely wrecking my world. “I’m not leaving until you take all of your hate out on me. Let me feel it. All of it. Every dirty look. Every nasty fucking word. I will have it all before I leave. Stop hiding from me.” ![]() ALL THE ANGST STARS ***** WRECK MY WORLD is a fabulous read which contained everything I love in a romance, including a gripping plot with close childhood to adult friendships, a small town setting, a friends to lovers story and all the angst. This book gripped me from the very beginning and I rode out the angsty waves with white knuckles. Victoria has a way of creating characters that you can’t help rooting for, even in their weak moments. WRECK MY WORLD is a best friends to lovers story and a brothers best friend kind of romance but not as straight forward as it seems. The plot goes from past to present on occasion but does not spoil the flow of the story. Easton and Dakota had been best friends for years, they are like two peas in a pod, Easton is a little bit older than her and is her brothers friend first but when Easton is of dating age and after a lot of persistence from Dakota's older sister he begins to date her, even though he is in love with her younger sister who wasn't old enough yet to date. Dakota has always loved Easton and it wrecked her that he was dating her sister but she was still really close to him, even closer to him than her brother and her sister who was his girlfriend, but they always remained just as friends. Easton is one of those guys who is a people pleaser, he started dating because her brother said it was OK so he went along with it, he took her to the school dance because it the right thing to do with your girlfriend but he also told her he was not touching her til marriage, good o'l Easton new she wasn't the girl for him even though people thought differently in their small town. A tragic accident takes Dakota's sister away and she also loses her best friend when Easton leaves town suddenly too, following the funeral. 3 years after the death of Dakota's sister Easton returns to the small town, feelings haven't changed and he is determined to get his soul mate back, only she hates him for leaving suddenly during her time of grief and then causing her even more pain by leaving without a word. Dakota is angry and hurt and even though her friends have welcomed him with open arms he has a lot of Dakota's barriers to knock down. How can Easton make his move when Dakota is still known as her dead girlfriends younger sister? that's another obstacle he needs to get over. Small town, lots of judgmental gossip, there's a heck of a lot of push and pull in this story. I loved it, loved the characters, loved the hea and the happy sigh I had at the end is always worth any angst along the way. Told in first person dual pov. Arc received for review purposes. “I knew this was a bad idea. I should’ve pushed you away when I had the chance. I wasn’t thinking clearly. I’m still not.” “Too late now,” he points out, standing and running his hand through his sweaty hair. “You didn’t.” I can’t breathe, panic consuming me, because he’s right. I didn’t push him away, and now things will forever be different between us. #friendstolovers#brothersbestfriend #secondchanceromance Amazon US: https://amzn.to/2Xprq8r Amazon UK: https://tinyurl.com/y3bkb6pd Amazon CA: https://tinyurl.com/y4zan8ga |
