Finally

This is book #3, in the Boston Terriers Hockey series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this fun series in order intended. Maddie is finally done with high school and on to the rest of her life.  A life she has been waiting and hoping for.  Along with Shaw giving her a chance at a future, anyway.  Only he has no idea. Shaw has been feeling something new for Maddie for a while.  Not really sure how to approach it, he wants to feel her out without her overprotective brother in the way.  Little does he know how poetic those thoughts are going to be. The series continues with the latest couple being my new favorite.  I love how their friendship builds with somewhat ease.  They were already connected, so it was only a matter of time.  The characters were a pleasure to read.  I was rooting for them right from the very start.  I give this r...

Tenley is at a wedding and one of her all time crushes sits next to her.  What's a girl to do?  Well she wanted to brush him off.  The heart wants what it wants, and they have an amazing night. Clancy is known as "The Wilde Man."  He is not really a player, though most assume he is.  With his connection to the frat, and sports, it is assumed.  He is a good person at heart, however, and cannot get his mind of the one chance he had with Tenley. I loved the banter and the heat that blasted right into the beginning of the book.  Right from the get go you know about the smoke that leads to the fire between these two.  It felt stilted at times, and I was a little frustrated about the stiff pieces of conversation now and again.  Yet, the story overall was so good - so compelling - I could not wait to see what happened next.  What happened?  I read the book!  I am excited to see what comes next from this  new series ....

This is book #2, in the Billionaire Bachelors series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  to avoid spoilers and to have better understanding of this series, I recommend reading this in order. Cal and Jules have a secret and sexy history.  When they come face to face again it shocks them both.  It also ignites the passion they left behind. Jules wants to help Cal.  He is coming to mean a lot to her.  Can she risk her heart and use her head at the same time?  It could be the future will be worth it. This sexy story started off with a little unexpected bit of flashbacks.  I am not one to usually like them - do not hate on me it is just a personal opinion - and this book just blew me away.  I loved the story, the sexy times, the humor, all of it.  I found it a book with a story that I could not put down.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review o...

This is book # 4 in the Off-Campus series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  The characters and situations will make more sense to the reader, however, if you read them in order.  Plus, it is a seriously phenomenal series! Sabrina has a hot past with Tucker.  Even if it is a short one.  One that he does not want to let go.  If Sabrina could just work him into her schedule... Tucker has always been his own man.  Even when a close friend says stay away from Sabrina, he chooses for himself.  He knows her better than they do.  Now, if he can just convince her to make a future with him.

Hot and more

This is book # 3 in The O'Malleys series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and understanding, I recommend reading the series in order.   Olivia and Cillian are flying sparks all over the room when they are both in it.  She just does not want to have anything to do with him or his family.  Been there, done that. Cillian cannot escape the feeling he has for her.  The attraction both physical and other are immediate.  He thinks he can talk her into more, little does he know.... Such an amazing story!  The characters have a lot to offer since they are rich and deep.  I loved that this book held many surprises, and a few familiar faces as well.  Good series.  I  hope we see more and I cannot wait for the next book.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given by Netgalley and its publisher in exchange for an honest review. 

Blog Tour w/Review - Shopping For A CEO's Fiancee

Image
  About SHOPPING FOR A CEO'S FIANCEE   We skipped right over the whole fiancée thing and went straight from girlfriend to wife. At least, I think that’s what happened. I woke up after my brother’s Vegas wedding reception with my luscious girlfriend in bed with me. We’re both wearing wedding rings. So is her coworker, Josh. And our Vegas chauffeur, Geordi.   Who the hell am I married to? Unraveling this mystery will be as difficult as figuring out why Amanda and I are having panic attacks over the thought of being husband and wife. Or, whoever we’re actually married to. Oh, ^%$#. It’s true that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, with one exception: If she’s my wife, we’ll make it work. If she’s not? I’ll make it happen.   Get the 9th book in Julia Kent's New York Times bestselling romantic comedy series as Andrew and Amanda sort out their wild Vegas night...and the rest of their lives.   A...

This is the 7th book in the Shopping for a Billionaire series .   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and understanding, however, I recommend reading the series in the order intended. Amanda and Andrew have met a couple years ago.  He keeps kissing her in closets, private, or hidden where she thinks he may not approve of her.  Their attraction is like a live wire and anyone who sees them in the same room has no doubt. Andrew is being made CEO and needs to keep a lid on it for a while.  He asks her to keep it a secret.  In the mean time, they start dating.  The kisses get hotter and they get in deeper..... Was laughing my way through this latest installment of the series.  This book is a bit different, since the principle characters are not the same as previous books.  There is no change in how much fun it is to read!  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in ...

Perfect for me

Quinn and Cash's eyes meet when her sister drags her to a hockey game to see the hottie star player.  Little does she know, she will become said player's obsession.  He is hot, and the attraction is even hotter! Cash has had it rough.  He is trying to stay clean, sharp, and get back on the NHL team.  Meeting Quinn and falling for her is not in the plans.  She has plans of her own.  How will this work? Together they make the sparks leap off the page!  This is a powerful story, with amazingly complex characters.  I loved the banter, the heat and most of all the HEA!  I cannot wait to read the next book in this series.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.

This is book # 4 in the Bowen Boys series .   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  The reader will get more understanding and enjoyment if this series is read in order.  There are many spoilers in the book, if this story is read first. Jack and Elle meet when her sister marries his closes friend.  After that, they just annoy the hell out of each other because it is fun.  In denial of all the sparks flying all around them, the onlookers are wondering who will get burned. When she is in danger, Jack runs to help her.  He berates himself for not being able to stay away, but he cannot stop himself.  Elle is just as guilty.  She relies on Jack without realizing that is what she is suddenly doing.  All the while, things heat up between them, and the kisses take on a life of their own. Such an amazing well though story!  I cannot believe how often I laughed in a book I thought would be so serious.  The characters are ...

You hold my heart

This is book # 3 in the Sidewinder series .   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  I recommend reading this series in order, however, to fully understand what is going on and enjoy the book more. Kelly and Nick's story continues in this installment of the  Sidewinder series .  This time they do a friend a favor by getting all the guys together (who are still living.)  There is a road trip and lots of crazy times too. Nick and Kelly have a hard time with their relationship and they both go to close friends for advice.  This book was very heartfelt and fun as well.  I found it to be an emotional roll to read.  The characters we love are also here.  I give this book a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC was given by Netgalley.com and its publisher in exchange for an honest review.

No pain no gain

Teague and Callista meet after their parents decide they should marry to solidify their families standing.  The attraction is instant.  The heat is sparking and danger is calling.  Will the secrets they keep help or hinder them as they try to move on? Callista AKA Callie was orginally going to be married off to the son of another Boston family, but he turned up dead.  Now the danger is his family wants to know who killed him.  With Teague and Callista's marriage looming, the danger is increasing as all three families seek justice. Such an incredibly twisted book!  There are surprises and turns that you never see coming.  Makes for an interesting read.  Now that I am hooked, I cannot wait to see what the author has in store for us with the next installment to The O'Malley's series.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given by Netgalley.com and its publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Game on

This is book 2 in the Riley O'Brien & Co series .   This book certainly can be read as a standalone novel.  I encourage you, like always to read the series in the order intended to obtain full understanding of the story. Nick and Teagan met while he was attending college with her brothers.  Over time, he became her best friend also.  Theirs was a happy, albeit complicated story. Then trouble arose and tragedy struck.  Where to go from here?  Teagan knew she could not tell her family what happened since she did not want to ruin the friendships.  Nick would surely never tell. This was a book that had it all.  I laughed, I cried, I turned each page wih abandon.  Such a great read and a book that will forever be on my shelf, so I can read it again.  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given by Netgalley.com and its publisher in exchange for an honest review.
