And she’s all I want this Christmas and beyond. It’s time to convince her to take a seat on Santa’s lap and find out if she’s been naughty or nice. If she doesn’t see the gift that she is, I’ll show her just how I intend to unwrap her... *This is a short story that's part of the Santa's Coming series.

I really liked Santa's blind date.

Celine is miserable, her Cancer has gone but she has lost all faith in trust and love. Blake is an ex boxer, he's rich, handsome and a playboy, well a playboy until he receives a Dear Santa letter from someone asking for a Christmas wish for her sister. Blake is Santa every year in his old town that he grew up in and likes to give something back to the community, something his father did before him. Blake had always had a crush on Celine and jumps at the chance to giver her a Christmas wish.. Santa's Blind date is short and sweet, has a whole lot of hotness and although short leaves you feeling fulfilled. I have read quite a few of these short Christmas romances from this series and highly recommend them. I have been able to sample all the authors writing and have already compiled a list of books I want to read from these short romances.

  I saw it all…from his Yule log to his jingle balls. At a holiday party, I bumped into my naked sworn enemy. Everyone in my town knows Ronan as the dashing football star. I get it. He’s hot. And he can throw a ball. Big deal. He’s been my nightmare since I was nine. Now he’s a six-foot, drop-dead gorgeous version of the menace who terrorized me. So naturally, he’s my companion to every-single-freaking Christmas event this year. I’m Mrs. Claus in the annual parade. Mason is Santa. Our nonstop banter should drive me insane. His cocky attitude should be a huge turn-off. But if there’s one man who can pull off seductive in a Santa suit—it’s Ronan. Let's just say, stockings aren’t the only thing hung at his house. If I can make it through the week without kissing him, it’ll be a Christmas miracle. Grab it on Kindle Unlimited!🎄 https://mybook.to/jingleballs   Jingle Balls is a brilliant enemies to lovers holiday romance. I have read a few holiday romances recently to get me in the Christmas spirit and this is the best I have read, a good enemies to lovers romance mixed with a Christmas theme. I love an enemies to lovers romance and this was so much fun. Ronan and Gigi have grown up together they are arch enemies. Basically Ronan made Gigi's life a misery growing up with his side kick friends and his brother, they even egged her prom date when he came to pick her up, you name it he did it. "You egged my prom date. Remember that? Because of you, I spent the whole night crying on my couch." "It was a coincidence. I didn’t know he was your date." "Whatever. You were in every horrible incident of my childhood." But don't they say there's a fine line between love and hate? Now older, now maturer, well sort of, Ronan who is an NFL player and Gigi who is still studying, fresh from a break up with her fiance are visiting home for Christmas. Ronan and Gigi are pushed together to be Mr & Mrs Christmas for charity causes. I laughed out loud at some of the scenes, Ronan sneaking into her house putting little dicks all over her Christmas tree, Ronan's innuendos, the banter and the squabbles and loved the build up to both of them realising that maybe they were meant to be together all along. Jingle balls is funny, sweet, hot and leads to a heartwarming hea. Recommended holiday read. Available in KU.    1 Hot Cop + 1 Bad Girl = 1 sexy enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract STAND-ALONE romance from USA Today bestselling author Tia Louise. "Kiss me... You're too law-abiding for me. What makes you say that? That uniform. Those handcuffs. Maybe I should put you in handcuffs. Maybe I'd like to see you try..." Tabby Green: Preacher's niece. Website designer. Bad Girl. Chad Tucker: Retired military. Deputy sheriff. Hero. He's a hot cop with a square jaw, a sexy grin, and a tight end. I'm a bad girl, a "Jezebel"--just ask all the old biddies in town. We're oil and vinegar. We don't mix. But when we kiss... She's got flashing green eyes, red-velvet lips, and luscious curves in all the right places. She's a bad girl all right, and after what I've lost, I'm not looking for trouble. But when we kiss... Oil and vinegar DO mix, And when they do, it's electric. A full-length, STAND-ALONE, opposites-attract romance about heroes, bad girls, and what happens when you stop fighting and surrender to love. NO Cheating; NO Cliffhangers!   A BAD GIRL AND HOT COP ROMANCE. I liked it! Tabatha Green was the girl in town with a reputation, she was the preacher's Niece, her mother left when she was 3 and she didn't know who her father was. Tabby is the kind of girl that wouldn't stick out in any other town but in her little town full of churchgoers and people who knew everyone's business she was wild in the eyes of the small-minded town folk. Chad Tucker is ex-military and now the towns deputy. Chad comes from another kind of society and left that world when his sister died, he has his own backstory that proves money and wealthy doesn't buy happiness. Chad and Tabatha first meet when she is discovered skinny dipping on someone's premises by the Town sheriff and Chad and now more than a year on Chad still can't get Tabby off his mind. I loved the chase in this romance, Tabby is a woman with backbone and isn't one for giving in easily but Chad is determined to make her his, despite what the town folk may think. "Chad Tucker is some kind of sex god with a magic snake in his pants. Andy the Anaconda. I seriously can’t believe the way he gets me off every time. It’s throwing a wrench in my plan to keep it casual". A good heartwarming romance with swoon-worthy and sizzling hot moments, Chad is one bossy, sweet talking and dirty mouthed officer. I would read more in this series and I am already interested in what will go down with Emberly once her ex comes riding back into town, the little sneak peek sounded so exciting. I loved Emberly she was sassy and full of humor and a good side character in WHEN WE KISS.    When I stumbled into a mafia run club seeking a job, I was looking for protection. Little did I know I’d need protection from him. Conor O’ Callahan was exactly the kind of danger I was trying to avoid. He was gorgeous as sin with an accent hotter than Hades, but that’s where the charm ended. He was also cynical, cold, and downright cranky. So, you could imagine my surprise when he gave me a proposition. Marry him or lose my life. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve learned to do what’s necessary to survive in this world, and I guess that includes marrying a mobster. Regardless of what he might say, it’s only temporary. It’s not like I’m going to sleep with him. Or fall for him. Because that would be stupid, right? CONOR is LIVE . Grab your copy here! <3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M62WRC9   I'm a huge fan of The Boston Underworld series and like all previous books before this, I absolutely loved Conor too. Another hot, swoon-worthy Mafia Fbbf on my bookshelf. Conor is an unexpected love story and the progression in Conor and Ivy's road to love is heartwarming. Ivy is on the run from a gang and thinks where better to hide out than under the roof of the Mafia, in their club? Ivy thinks this is the last place the gang members will look for her. Crow spots Ivy coming into the club each night, knows the gang is after her and assigns Conor to keep an eye on her, get information and if he has too kill her. Conor is a hard guy, mafia through and through, with his own heartbreaking backstory that has made him the man he is and he's a dedicated family member of the Mafia and loyal to Crow BUT there's an instant connection with Ivy and Conor begins to battle with his orders as he gets to know Ivy more. I devoured this book, A. Zavarelli hits all the right spots for me with her story's, her writing and her characters, if I had to do a list of what I like in a Mafia romance, I would say THIS!! In fact all of this series. Conor will touch your heart, make you swoon, he's still the bad boy that comes home with blood on his shirt but when Ivy enters his life there's a change in him, a new purpose, I loved it! Great plot, the hotness was smokin and in all the right places and I adored the hea. Looking forward to more in this series.    Welcome to Crimson Elite, the most exclusive sex club in the world. Enter at your own risk, and always remember our number one rule-- You must never speak of Crimson Elite—the punishment is severe. Creed ‘Too Hot For Words’ Christopher If God created the perfect man he would closely resemble Creed, on the outside that is. He’s as cavalier as they come. Unconcerned. Cold. Dismissive. I wonder if he has any feelings at all. And when his lips touch mine, everything goes black. He takes me into his world, and it’s the most magical thing I’ve ever experienced. And I’m sucked in time and time again. Like a moth to the flame, I am ready to be set alight. Elicea ‘F*cks With My Head’ Beckham Elicea is a firecracker. She has piqued my interest, and no one piques my interest anymore. Beautiful women are what I do—it’s my work. Not one of them has managed to get their claws into me the way she does. It’s as if she’s seeing my ice heart and trying to melt it set it alight with each touch of her sinful lips. But that can’t work, it won’t work. Not in my world.  What an intriguing and exciting start to a new series from T.L Smith. Welcome to Crimson Elite, the most exclusive sex club in the world. Not my favorite topic in a book, lets face it there are a lot of sex club books out there, but the similarity stops right there in the words SEX CLUB, this was nothing like I thought it was going to be, yes there's a sex club but this is nothing like I have read before and the plot focuses more on the characters than the activity in the club. Creed is one of the owners of this secret sex club, I think its the only sex club I have come across where once you reveal its secret you die, basically, once your out, You. Are. Out. The men who own this sex club are a mixture of brothers with a strong bond, ruthless business men, mysterious and intriguing.Oh and then there's Ma, the woman who looks after all these boys, which is Creeds mother, so they definitely all have a softer side. Creed is the strong silent type, he's a mystery, in fact even though I have finished the book and he's still a mystery. Elicea witnesses a murder at the very beginning of the book in an alleyway while walking home but then all traces are gone, following this Creed and Elicia first meet when the men known as the Elite come into the bar where she works and she is given orders to look after these high paying customers. Elicea isn't the type of woman who is a pushover and after one grope too many from another customer slams her tray on his hands resulting in her getting fired. From first seeing Elicea Creed is drawn to her and follows her to offer her a job at his club behind the bar. This is definitely not a hearts and flowers romance, Creed is the type of guy who lacks emotions or feelings, he's the one who gets his hands bloody out of the guys and as a relationship develops between Elicea and Creed that doesn't change but in his own way he cares, you see subtle changes in him but Elicea accepts him as he is. The chemistry between them was sizzling. At one point I thought a cat fight may develop between Elicea and one of the woman who looks after all the girls in the club who has noticed Creed watching Elicea, something he never does with women which makes him even more appealing to the girls, like he is the one they want to crack and you can see spite and jealousy there from this woman but nothing comes of that, I was a bit disappointed to be honest, I love a bit of angst. Creed is a hard character so sum up, he is still a mystery to me, as are the other guys. T.L Smith has definitely given me longings for the next book, I can't wait to see how these Elite men go forward with their secret dealings, friendships and finding love they claim they don't want or need. I need more of Elicea and Creed too, I want to know how it all develops in their relationship, these guys are like family so no doubt I will see more of them in books to come.

Reclamation pretty much picks right up where The Club left off and cannot be read as a standalone. Jonas has gone from serial dater to being absolutely head over heels for the sassy straight talking Sarah. I love both of these characters. In this book Jonas has whisked Sarah away to paradise and on their return, their holiday bubble is soon burst when Sarah finds her apartment ransacked and her laptop also missing. Jonas is determined to get to the bottom of the shady business of The Club and calls in his brother Josh for help. There's suspense, hot moments and laughter, these books by Lauren Rowe pretty much have it all. Everything I love in a romance read can be found in these pages and it is totally addictive. I highly recommend this series, I have already read The Morgan brothers series which is another addictive series and I am sort of going backward with Lauren's books but I am loving them and her writing. I am looking forward to the next book as the suspense, the investigating and mystery behind the club continues. All this series is available in audio which his highly entertaining to listen to and Lauren Rowe also narrates the female lead, so the book is brought to life brilliantly, I love the audio in this series. P.s You need to turn the volume down on the saucy bits though and there are lots of them *winks    Angel Devlin author http://smarturl.it/ChristmasCracker From Ho Ho Ho to Oh Oh Oh… It’s been six years since Casey last saw her best friend’s brother… Now her coffee shop is quiet at Christmas and her bestie, Audrina, has recruited Jared to come play Santa. Hot Spiced Pumpkin lattes versus Hot Santa, it’s a no-brainer for the women of NYC. So Casey has to watch as the crush she’s never forgotten lets woman after woman sit on his lap. Even more humiliating is that she’s dressed in the worst outfit ever – as a British Christmas Cracker. Can Casey get all she wants for Christmas?   A short and sweet Christmas themed romance. Casey has had a crush on her friends brother forever so when her friend sets her brother up to be a sexy Santa in Casey's coffee shop and also gives Casey a Christmas Cracker to wear for the promotion you think.... will he finally see her and pull the cracker? Santa's Christmas Cracker is short and quick with a little bit of hotness. There are 16 of these short romance books in The Santa's coming collection, all from different authors. I think it's a great way to discover authors you haven't read yet. My first book by this author, I would read more. The story was told in first person dual pov and I quickly fell into the story.   She had one rule: never sleep with someone twice. Then Faith Hitchin met Elijah Fairclough and the Baroness’ son with the heart of an artist scorched her rule out of existence. Until he shattered her heart. Burned and hurting Faith battles to regain control of the protective barriers she keeps around her heart. But when two souls meet with the passion and Fire of artist and muse, walking away may not be an option. When Faith’s last rule smashes and takes them both down with it, there may be tears of glass neither of them can survive. Tears of Ink is currently 99c to celebrate! viewbook.at/TearsofInk Glass is LIVE on Amazon: viewbook.at/TearsofGlass   TEARS OF GLASS is the second book in a duet and cannot be read as a standalone. I finished Tears of Ink a little gobsmacked, I mean what a cliffhanger! I was not happy with Elijah at all... but oh boy, did he redeem himself in TEARS OF GLASS. TEARS OF GLASS is about second chances, taking chances, making changes, two people from different backgrounds and society circles who are drawn to each other. I was transfixed with the plot. I like a woman with backbone and Faith had that but at times that woman really pressed on my nerves, Elijah proved to be one of the good ones, time and time again he gave me swoon-worthy moments, but Faith is stubborn, struggling to change her ways and thankfully and finally (hallelujah) she begins to let him in, begins to let others in, she's a tough nut to crack. This is a story filled with suspense, heartwarming moments, hotness and complex characters, it has it all and the plot is unique, I can't say I have met characters quite like Faith or Elijah in any of my previous reads. Anna Bloom balanced everything out brilliantly, I turned the pages with vigor wanting to know how all this pans out and was quite happy with the outcome. Told In First person pov and leads to a hfn. Anna Bloom is a British author and I loved how she kept the theme British, Faith shopped at Tesco on a regular, I loved that about this book, so many British authors adapt things to please a wider audience and loved how Anna didn't adapt her words or change place names, these are British characters living in or near London and this book gives you a good feel for that which aids the imagination for those who are not familiar with British mannerisms,places, terminologies etc, just like it would a British person reading a book based in the U.S. I am looking forward to more in this series, I have enough interest in the extended characters and a curiosity about how it will all go down at Bowsley Hall with the Baroness and questions over who will be the next Heir? Very exciting stuff to come. ARC RECEIVED FOR REVIEW PURPOSES TEARS OF INK by Anna Bloom FREE on Kindle Unlimited: viewbook.at/TearsofInk     I loved this Christmas themed romance from Tawna Fenske. I was expecting a cheesy, Cheeky, Christmas romance based on the cover but what I got was a sweet story with heartwarming and humorous moments and no cheese at all. A little bit about the plot: Brandon has served 13 years in the forces and is now home for Christmas he wants to do something with his time, he hasn't got good memories of Christmas and wants to change that. Brandon is interviewed by Jade's sister who does all the marketing for the Reindeer ranch and who better to get the mummy's lining up to see Santa than a stud muffin Santa. Jade went to school with Brandon, he was one of the popular guys, a soccer player, whereas jade was a chubby girl and was bullied. Jade was never bullied by Brandon, in fact, he doesn't even remember her. Jade is trying to get her business off the ground and there are twists and turns in the plot when they discover someone is out to ruin her business. Brandon and Jade develop a friendship, there is sizzling chemistry between them and a slow burn romance develops. I enjoyed Stud muffin Santa and would definitely read more from Tawna Fenske. The story was told in first person dual pov and there was just the right amount of heat, drama, and interest in the characters and plot to keep you turning the pages. Leads to a heartwarming hea and has plenty of swoon-worthy moments. A recommended Holiday read.    Harper Nichols is in a desperate situation.

Harper might be richer, but at what cost to her heart  Hot businessman in need of a date for Christmas with his family, it was very pretty woman and I loved it. There's no Julia Roberts and Richard Gear but the plot is very similar and just my kind of read. Jameson needs a fake girlfriend for the holidays and approaches an escort agency. Harper is down on her luck, in need of money and is persuaded by her friend to join the agency were she is a hooker but Harper has conditions of no sex, just dates and agrees to join the agency with those conditions.

When playboy businessman Jonas Faraday receives a private note from the anonymous intake agent assigned to process his online application to an exclusive club, he becomes obsessed with finding her and giving her the satisfaction she claims has always eluded her, in order to fulfill his own desperate need for redemption. Sarah: “When I read Jonas Faraday’s brutally honest personal message on his application to The Club—I practically climaxed at my desk. I’m an idiot to risk losing my job but I couldn’t resist contacting him. I knew my confession would be like dangling an irresistible carrot in front of his nose—but never in a million years did I think he’d actually hunt me down.” Jonas: “I was shocked to get my intake agent’s email—I’d attached that note to my application on a whim, never expecting a reply from an actual person, let alone a reply as mind blowing as that. Her message was so alluring, so irresistible, I’ve been spiraling into a full-blown obsession ever since I got it. What’s her name? What does she look like? Finding her is my top priority.” In The Club, what starts out as an innocent exploration of attraction quickly spirals into a steamy story of unbridled passion, obsession, heartbreak, and, ultimately, redemption... ☆ FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED! ☆ 7 Books. 2 Brothers. 2 Epic and Intertwining Love Stories.

That will teach me for judging a book by it's title. I loved Jonas and Sarah, The Club was not what what I was expecting at all. I love Lauren Rowe's books, fallen in love with some of the characters and I'm going backwards in her writing, having read all the new releases with the Morgans I wanted to know how it all began and was highly interested in the Faraday family which are inter-linked in a way as they are mentioned in some of the newer books by Lauren. My thoughts of this being a sex club type of read with bdsm and that kind of thing was completely wrong. The Sex club is completely different and the blurb if only I have read this instead of just looking at the cover THE BLURB explains it really well on how Sarah and Jonas eventually meet. Basically the Club is a membership where you pay and are given a wrist band and a phone to check into whatever location, another person who is the same colour wrist band as you, In Jonas's case a woman would receive your location and meet you. The wrist band is how they identify one-another and also the colour is what you are given, like colour-coded to your match. It's a no strings kind of hook up for members. I suppose it's like tinder but with a very expensive fee. For a busy businessman like Jonas who doesn't want a relationships it suits his needs. THE CLUB is different, refreshing and so, so hot!! Sarah receives Jonas's application which is her first in her new job and she is intrigued by his forwardness and his surety on how he can please a woman which she finds absurd when she has never even had an orgasm, so his "I can make any woman come" ind of statement rubs her up the wrong way and she writes him an email stating her facts. They are never supposed to meet, Sarah never meets the club's clients, she is merely the paperwork girl but but Jonas's finds himself intrigued with Sarah's email and goes on a mission to find the woman who has captivated him with her words. I have wanted to read this for ages and I am kicking myself now for waiting so long, I loved these characters, Sarah is sassy and outspoken and Jonas is just sex on a swoon-worthy stick. There is a lot more to the plot than sex, although there sure is a lot of it and I am looking forward to the next book where there are twists in the plot with regards to THE CLUB. I listened to this in audio which I have for a few of Lauren's books and as always it was brilliantly narrated, Lauren always does the female narration which is something I really like, she brings her own characters to life. Told in first person dual pov and leads to a happy for now with more to follow. Available in Ku and Audio.

I have found that these short reads by Alexa Riley are either same old, same old or really good and enjoyable. Lift is actually really enjoyable, yes, there are some raunchy sex scenes and an alpha male in there as always but the content has substance, I know enough about the backstory of both characters and their journey as I would with any other book and I feel like I have read a full novel, in a nut shell I was content with the flow and lead up to the hea. . Lift is a riches to rags kind of story. Sloan is struggling to get on her feet after her parents where discovered to be guilty of Embezzlement, with her family name dragged through the mud, Sloan can't get a job in any type of business, you could say she has been tarred with the same brush. Sloan does however manage to get a job as a driver and this is how she first meets the hot and rich bachelor Harris. It's insta love and insta lust for Harris when he takes one look at who is driving his car. Harris is a workaholic and isn't looking for love but he finds it unexpectedly and he becomes Sloan's swoon worthy saviour. A good, hot and quick romance with a Christmas themed ending. I loved it.    Summer Sky is the first book in the Blue Phoenix rock star romance series. Perfect for fans of captivating steamy romance, hot and brooding British rock stars, and strong, sassy heroines. Sky changed her life for a man once, and she has no intention of doing so again -- even if he is a six-foot, tattooed rock god who makes a mean bacon sandwich. Sky Davis is left broken hearted when she arrives home to find her long term boyfriend with another girl. She takes an unscheduled holiday to Cornwall and leaves behind the life and guy she hates. Rock star Dylan Morgan is struggling with fame and is sick of a life controlled by other people. Dylan cuts his hair and walks away from his role as lead singer of Blue Phoenix, leaving behind chaos and speculation. Outside the English seaside town of Broadbeach, their cars and worlds collide. Sky decides Dylan is an arrogant guy with too many tattoos, and Dylan is amused by the smart-mouthed girl with no idea who he is. Dylan and Sky soon discover they've travelled to Broadbeach for the same reason - to escape from reality and head back to a place with happy childhood memories. Losing themselves in a world where they know nothing about each other, Sky and Dylan begin a holiday romance that soon heats up their rainy English summer. Fantasies can't last forever and when reality crashes the party Sky isn't sure she wants to be more than his 'summer Sky' but Dylan doesn't want to let her go. ***This full length book is not a standalone and has a cliffhanger. The full series is available now. Written in British English so contains British spelling, grammar and idiom*** FREE on Amazon http://bit.ly/summersky (US) http://amzn.to/1fqS8jF (UK)   Oh boy, This book frustrated the heck out of me! Dylan and Sky first meet when Dylan runs into the back of Sky's car when she is on her way to her Grandmothers holiday let to get away from it all, not only is things going from bad to worse but the arrogant guy wearing shades and driving an expensive car really rubs her up the wrong way. When he reaches for his glove compartment, Skye takes off thinking he could have a gun. Sky arrives at the holiday let ready to unwind and relive some of her childhood memories in the place she loved as a child then she discovers her Grandmother has booked the cottage out and it's none other than the arrogant guy she has just fled from. An interesting start, I was intrigued, Dylan is also hoping to get away from it all, he isn't nursing a break up like Skye but he claims he needs a break in the place where he also used to stay with his family as a boy. Dylan and Sky come to a compromise and agree to stay at the cottage together and re-live their childhood memories. Dylan is a famous rock-star and it's refreshing that Skye doesn't even know who he is, he can be himself which is something he hasn't been able to be in a long time. Dylan and Sky are brought together by fate, two people who have the same childhood memories, two people who just want to discover who they are again. The chemistry between Sky and Dylan was undeniable but once Skye found out who Dylan was and the life he leads, all her barriers were up and it was like a game of cat and mouse. Skye really frustrated me at times she was so indecisive and judgemental and also a little bit of a prude. The push and pull kept me turning the pages, the on the off, the denial of feelings then the confession of feelings. Dylan was upfront about how he felt and Sky was just a bundle of indecision. I would read book two, no doubt it will be the same on/off push and pull again, but I would like to see how it goes. The rest of the series I will have to see about that, none of the band members have given me cause to want to read their story's yet, Dylan doesn't even have a bond or seem to get on with them so that I will also have to see how it goes in the next book. We written, set in the U.K SUMMER SKYE is a story that starts as a getaway, holiday romance and leads to more. Told in first person dual pov. This is my first book by this author and although I felt it was long and some things dragged on a bit I would definitely read more from Lisa Swallow.   Welcome to Crimson Elite, the most exclusive sex club in the world. Enter at your own risk, and always remember our number one rule-- You must never speak of Crimson Elite—the punishment is severe. Creed ‘Too Hot For Words’ Christopher If God created the perfect man he would closely resemble Creed, on the outside that is. He’s as cavalier as they come. Unconcerned. Cold. Dismissive. I wonder if he has any feelings at all. And when his lips touch mine, everything goes black. He takes me into his world, and it’s the most magical thing I’ve ever experienced. And I’m sucked in time and time again. Like a moth to the flame, I am ready to be set alight. Elicea ‘F*cks With My Head’ Beckham Elicea is a firecracker. She has piqued my interest, and no one piques my interest anymore. Beautiful women are what I do—it’s my work. Not one of them has managed to get their claws into me the way she does. It’s as if she’s seeing my ice heart and trying to melt it set it alight with each touch of her sinful lips. But that can’t work, it won’t work. Not in my world.   What an intriguing and exciting start to a new series from T.L Smith. Welcome to Crimson Elite, the most exclusive sex club in the world. Not my favourite topic in a book, lets face it there are a lot of sex club books out there, but the similarity stops right there in the words sex club, this was nothing like I thought it was going to be, yes there's a sex club but this is nothing like I have read before and the plot focuses more on the characters than the activity in the club. . Creed is one of the owners of this secret sex club, I think its the only sex club I have come across where once you reveal its secret you die, basically, once your out, You. Are. Out. The men who own this sex club are a mixture of brothers with a strong bond, ruthless business men, mysterious and intriguing.Oh and then there's Ma, the woman who looks after all these boys, which is Creeds mother, so they definitely all have a softer side. Creed is the strong silent type, he's a mystery, in fact even though I have finished the book and he's still a mystery. Elicea witnesses a murder at the very beginning of the book in an alleyway while walking home but then all traces are gone, following this Creed and Elicia first meet when the men known as the Elite come into the bar where she works and she is given orders to look after these high paying customers. Elicea isn't the type of woman who is a pushover and after one grope too many from another customer slams her tray on his hands resulting in her getting fired. From first seeing Elicea Creed is drawn to her and follows her to offer her a job at his club behind the bar. This is definitely not a hearts and flowers romance, Creed is the type of guy who lacks emotions or feelings, he's the one who gets his hands bloody out of the guys and as a relationship develops between Elicea and Creed that doesn't change but in his own way he cares, you see subtle changes in him but Elicea accepts him as he is. The chemistry between them was sizzling. At one point I thought a cat fight may develop between Elicea and one of the woman who looks after all the girls in the club who has noticed Creed watching Elicea, something he never does with women which makes him even more appealing to the girls, like he is the one they want to crack and you can see spite and jealousy there from this woman but nothing comes of that, I was a bit disappointed to be honest, I love a bit of angst. Creed is a hard character so sum up, he is still a mystery to me, as are the other guys. T.L Smith has definitely given me longings for the next book, I can't wait to see how these Elite men go forward with their secret dealings, friendships and finding love they claim they don't want or need. I need more of Elicea and Creed too, I want to know how it all develops in their relationship, these guys are like family so no doubt I will see more of them in books to come. An exciting new romantic suspense series from T.L Smith. Told In dual pov. Leads to HFN.

It was careless and irrational and became way too invested when I read a romance novel. So I put her under lock and key. I only had a few rules, and I always stuck with them. 1. Never get attached. 2. Always run before the feels become contagious. 3. No matter what, under no circumstances, never fall in love. He was a playboy who ran by the same set of rules. What we had together was fun, it was hot, and it was temporary. Until he screwed everything up. We were never meant to be each other's happily ever after, but the harder I tried to push him away, the further I fell.   A friend's to lovers romance. I really enjoyed Staci and Mason's story. This is the second book in the series, the first book is Parker and Liv's book which is a second chance romance. Mason is the brother of Liv who also works with and is best friends with Staci. Both Staci and Mason are one-night-stand kind of people, both of them move on without going for seconds and never settle down until one night together and both of them want more. Only Staci won't allow herself to feel anything for any man through something that she is still running from in her past. He was my best friend’s brother. Strike one. He was my boss’s best friend. Strike two. He was a man-whore. Strike three. Mason becomes the opposite, ready to put his man-whore days behind him after just one night with Staci the hot, sassy, tattoo artist the woman he can't get out of his head. She was wild, she was real, and even though I did want to fuck the shit out of her, I was genuinely having fun just being around her and that scared the shit out of me. I liked Staci in the first book, she caught my attention, she's carefree, straight-talking, covered in tattoos and independent but Staci is also good at putting on a front and only letting people see what she wants them to see, Staci is also stubborn but Mason can see the real Staci and is determined to make her his. You could say Mason is a male version of Staci at first but instead of pushing his feelings aside like Staci is trying to do, he has to come up with a plan to help Staci remove her barriers and be more than friends and a one night stand and his sister Liv becomes his wing-woman. WHERE BAD GIRLS GO TO FALL was a fun read, it had humor and hot moments, it lacked angst and drama which I normally like but I didn't mind that, it was safe, a book I could relax with, it was a good contemporary friends to lovers romance that I really enjoyed with great characters. Told in first person dual pov and leads to a hea. I really enjoy this author's writing style the balance of humor and romance with a bit of everything else I enjoy is addictive. Looking forward to reading more from Holly Renee.

He was my brother's best friend and the definition of unavailable. But I didn't care. I had loved him for as long as I could remember. He was worth the risk. He was worth everything. But then he broke my heart as easily as I fell for him. He watched me fall, spiraling out of control, and as I reached for him, he wasn't there to catch me. So I ran. Four years later, I never expected to see him again. He was still my brother's best friend, and he was more unavailable than ever. He looked every bit the bad boy I knew he was, covered in tattoos and a crooked smile. Guarding my heart from him was top priority because Parker James was where good girls go to die. Unfortunately for him, I wasn't a good girl anymore. ★WHERE BAD BOYS ARE RUINED -->hyperurl.co/zy5on8 ★WHERE GOOD GIRLS GO TO DIE -->hyperurl.co/u0kfwg ★WHERE BAD GIRLS GO TO FALL -->hyperurl.co/wkqouq   SECOND CHANCES AND LOTS OF ANGST.
I couldn't put this book this book down, at times it was like waiting for a car crash to happen, it was intense. Livy and Parker were childhood friends Parker was also Livy's brother's best friend and Livy had a major crush on Parker growing up, she had watched him with his girlfriends, then his long term girlfriend and secretly longed for him but she was younger but as she became older, finally Parker and Livy became an item, both of them had had feelings for each other a long time and of course their relationship had to be in secret so Livy's brother Mason wouldn't find out. Four years later and Livy is living away from home and making her living as a stripper. Four years ago Livy had some upsetting news from Parker's ex and fled, moved away for college and didn't look back and she tried to forget about the love of her life Parker but her life went from bad to worse, until the night she was dancing for a Bachelor party and discovered that the party was none other than Parker, her brother and his friends. Mason had no idea what his sister was doing for a living and made her go back home. This is the car crash, Parker still loved Livy, he never understood why she ran that night, he never got over her and Livy obviously never got over Parker there was just one problem.... Parker now had a fiance. Where Good Girls Go To Die is a good story, I was gripped and couldn't wait to see how it all finally played out, Would Livy get her happily ever after?? She definitely deserved one. I love a book with angst and one that evokes lots of feelings and emotions and it definitely did that. This is my first book by this author and I followed the plot with ease, the balance with angst, drama, hotness flowed in all the right places and I can't wait to read more.

I'm left wanting more, more from this author's talented ability to take you on a dark, gritty and gripping journey and more from these characters of Bedlham. Throughout this whole journey there have been scenes that make you squirm and feelings of wanting to undo the scenes from your mind's eye, scenes that can make you swoon, grip your kindle through the angst, laugh, yes, laugh?, moments were the tears are brimming, moments were you can feel the consuming love the characters have for each other, see? A roller-coaster, it's a really odd combination, so many emotions and swirling thoughts are experienced, sometimes I questioned "what did I just read?" well,....... welcome to Frazierland. Arc received for review purposes    KEELEY I know his type. Stuck up. Arrogant. The kind of guy who hasn't had to work for a damn thing his entire life. Even his name, Henry Caldwell III, reeks of privilege. And me? Well, let's just say I come with more baggage than a 747 and enough bullsh*t to fuel it. The problem is I want him. Crave him. It's the kind of pure, all-consuming, panty-soaking lust that can make a girl forget why she swore off men to begin with. He thinks I need saving. But this isn't a Cinderella story, and he's no Prince Charming. At least not mine. I learned long ago that trusting any man with my heart isn't just dangerous - it can be deadly. HENRY Emotionally crippled, smart-mouthed, and sexy as sin, the woman is nothing I need and everything I want. Despite her hard edges, tattoos, and reckless spirit, I know she craves more. More from life, more from love, more from me. She thinks I'm just a trust fund brat and maybe she's right. But I've got secrets of my own. I know what darkness is. I've lived it - faced the pit of hell and barely survived. The question is, am I strong enough to face it again? Because if I'm ever going to break through the steel wall she's placed around her heart, it'll mean facing demons we both thought were long dead and buried.  I only read some reviews after finishing this book and all I will say is... Stick with it!.
I started MELTING STEEL and began to think it was an insta-love romance with a typical, rich alpha bossy male, I thought Henry was so, I don't know, cliche? and this was the typical man meets woman he wants her and the chase begins but I was so wrong. I was pleasantly surprised. I think me and Henry just got off on the wrong foot, I ended up really liking the guy, swooning even. Henry and Keeley first meet while Henry is playing near his home he is only 9. Henry sees a little girl crying, a woman in the background is being pushed around and one of his neighbours shouting at her, Henry see's the bruises on Keeley and even at a young age knows in his heart that Keeley is someone he wants to protect. Henry who is obviously going through a knight in shining armour phase in his youth gives Keeley his small wooden sword before she is whisked away by her mother saying it will protect her from Dragons. Keeley never thought she would run into the boy again who once gave her hope.. Henry also never thought he would ever see the girl he never forgot either, until years later they meet again in a bar and Henry feels drawn to Keely and is determined to in good old cave man fashion to make her his, there is just something about her that he can't shake off and he is determined to get to know her. This is only tip of the iceberg in this story. Keeley is feisty, a woman with backbone, she hasn't had the privileged background like Henry. Keeley has a drug addict of a brother, had an abusive mother and now has people after her for her brothers debts. The plot in MELTING STEEL has plenty of twists and turns, I was more than engrossed as the story progressed and I could not put this book down. For action, drama, danger, insta-love and a heartwarming hea MELTING STEEL is a recommended read. Currently Free on Amazon which is a brilliant way to sample an author you haven't read before, I felt everything was balanced out brilliantly, action, drama, hotness and romance. I would definitely read more from this author. Told In frst person dual pov. |
