Release Blitz - Driving Me Wild

Image
  Today we have the release day blitz of DRIVING ME WILD by Mia Carter ! Check it out and be sure to grab your copy today!       Title: Driving Me Wild Author: Mia Carter Genre: Contemporary Romance   About Driving Me Wild:   I never in a million years thought that finding a lost pair of keys would lead to adventure.     All my life, I’ve been perfectly average. Compared to the rest of my high-achieving, type-A family, it feels impossible to stand out. While I’d love to make my big artistic dreams happen, I’m kind of stuck, thanks to a bunch of lame things like “affordable rent” and “keeping the internet on.” Dreaming doesn’t pay the bills. Freelance design work and part-time rideshare driving does. And it’s nice, for the most part. Finding a passenger’s thumb drive usually means reporting, returning, yay-hurrah-good-job-me. Except this time.     This time, I ...

Corey has a friends with benefits arrangement with her buddy, Matt.  She just does not want him to help her so much that she gets dependent.  Why is she okay to have him help her with orgasms and not other things? Matt and his buddy Dylan are giving Corey a taste of the forbidden.  As they explore each other maybe all of them can learn what true intimacy is.  Matt is so devoted to all those he cares about.  Dylan has a secret that may rock their world.   These characters were up to some pretty hot stuff.  I thought the heat was dialing up and up while I was reading.  Is it hot in here?  Anyway, true to form, this author had me hoping for a cool cloth while I enjoyed the escapades of these three.   Start of a great series , cannot wait to read more.  I give this a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

Audiobook Review for Leaning Into Touch

Image
This book is technically the 4th book in the series, though it is labeled as book #3 in the Leaning Into Stories series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. To avoid spoilers and have a greater understanding of the series, I recommend reading these books in order. Josh is unsure what he wants to do with his future, now that his current job is complete. He is trying to work this out as he runs into an ex that he has never really gotten over. Can he trust his feelings to try again with Finn, even though he is a mess about the rest of his life? Finn never wanted to say goodbye in the past to Josh. Running into him repeatedly lately feels like fate taking a hand. Can he convince the skittish man to give him another chance? This story just stole my heart. These characters so obviously belong together. I loved the very real heartache they expressed. I also felt the heat with the sexy times. Really good read and addition to the series.  The narrator did an amazing job on the dif...

Audiobook Review for Leaning Into The Fall

Image
This is book #3, in the Leaning Into series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  To avoid spoilers, and to better understand the series, I recommend reading it in order. Nick is a tech genius, who tends to forget everything when he is making better things happen in the lab.  For real life and relationships - he does not do so well.  In the middle of a deal with a deadline, he is hoping for a miracle.  Hoping he can still trust those closes to him. Wes owns an amazing winery where Nick purchased some wine.  They meet when Nick goes to the winery, and unexpectedly has the worst run of luck he has had in some time.  Despite all the animosity and attraction crackling in the air, Wes does his best to be kind to Nick. This story actually surprised me.  I was not a big fan of Nick's character after reading the first couple books int he  series.   His story made me understand him, and why he does what he does better...

Mackenzie AKA "Kenzie" is best friends with Connor's little sister. He will always think of her like that.  One night changes everything and she gets her fantasy.  Is there room for more? Connor's mind is blown.  The little girl he never dreamed would become his everything is suddenly grown up.  Right there.  All he could ever want.  With a secret that could ruin it all. This story was a real different choice for me.  I tend to stay to the lighthearted side of romance and this was just more real.  Like real life in your face - real.  I ended up completely loving it, because the story inside just captivated me.  With a compelling plot, it moves along just slow enough to burn at the edges.... and leave you with fascinating singes.  The characters are drawn to one another and the chemistry just sucks you right into its vortex.  I eagerly turned each page.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early c...

Quinn has suffered a tragic loss with her sister now gone for two years.  The news she gets that sets her back even more, causes her to go looking for the why.  Arriving in the sleepy town, she finds there is someone else who suffered a loss that needs her. Mick is just back visiting his mother.  Trying to help her move on from the pain and the house that haunts them both.  Meeting Quinn makes staying in town a bit more exciting.  She is in need of a steady hand, and it could be his that helps her up. Sweet and fragile are two words I thought while reading this novel.  It has many great pieces that make it fun and still the author's work.  I just found it a bit slower than the norm.  The high points were the sexy times and the banter.  You should never miss those.  I give this story a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

This is book #4, in The Elite series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding and enjoyment, I always recommend reading series books in order. Cassandra get told by her boss he is doing a favor for a friend, and she is recruited as the agent who will handle his client.  When she meets Brett, she realizes there is an attraction there.  Because of her past, she is wary about getting involved with another athlete. Brett cannot believe the situation he has put himself in.  He knows he can do better.  Everyone is treating him like a child.  Except Cassandra, she sends enough heat his way to make an oven.  Can they build a future in the middle of cleaning up a mess? The characters are just incredible to read.  The sizzle and heat between them just leaps off the page.  This series just gets better.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for a...

Jarrett is sent to protect an ATF agent who has decided to testify against a really bad man.  He notices how capable and strong he is immediately.  He just really wishes he was not attracted to him. Thayne knew he would have a target on his back.  He can take care of himself.  His boss has other ideas.  Jarrett is sent to protect him.  After a while he wants more. I went into this story not really knowing what to expect.  This is a new author to me.  I found the book to be not only intriguing, but seriously hot.  These two characters are more than capable of taking care of themselves.  Now they must learn to care for each other.  I cannot wait to read more of the Death And Destruction series!  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Bristol and Marlon AKA Grip's story continues in this amazingly touching and yet intense story.  Grip has been chasing her since that very special moment back in college.  The best Spring Break of their lives. Grip has all but given up, since the better part of a decade has past and still she will not give him an inch.  He has tried to move on - but at what expense?  Can the heart really forget what his head tells him he must? This book was everything I was looking for, and more.  In typical fashion, this author gives us an intense relationship filled with twists and turns.  With a little suspense thrown in.  I loved it.  Even though I cried and laughed my way through it.  This was made better with some of our favorite characters and surprises thrown in.  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review. This story is continued from the FREE prequel, ...
