Unexpected

Image
Walker is the one who takes care of her family.  She puts her family first, herself last.  Then she helps someone left behind at her family's bar.  It may be something out of the ordinary for her, but she is a good person.  Why is everyone so shocked? Mason is excited to get along with someone who does not know who he is.  His secret is safe, and the chemistry is hot!  Until they get to know one another better, and time is running out to tell her the secret he has kept close to his chest. This was so much more than I thought looking at the cover.  Cute cover though, and I do love me the kitties.  What I found was a story with so much to it I could not put it down!  I loved the heat, the banter, the characters and more.  I really will be reading this author again soon.  I give this read a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review, by Netgalley and its publishers.

This is book #4, in the Confessions series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  To avoid spoilers, and fully understand the series, I recommend reading this series in order. This story checks in to our threesome and where they are in their relationship the summer after they got together.  With Robbie's birthday coming up, he is getting major phone calls from his Mom, wanting him to come home for a visit.  He is nervous to bring his boyfriends home and the reception they will receive. Julien and Priest want to meet Robbie's family.  They are just waiting for him to be ready.  With his birthday being the motivation - the plan is set in motion.  Can they show him they are ready for forever too? This feels like a final installment or summary, if you will, of where the men are now.  Together, as they should be.  I was thrilled to jump back in to our favorite group and see some familiar faces!  This was a great read a...

Noah meets Lexi in an elevator of all places.  He is a stone mason who has an artists eye.  He is immediately attracted once they start talking.  He would love to see her again, but she is married. Lexi is trapped in the elevator with a hottie who has a soft heart.  She is impressed almost instantly, but has trust issues that stop her from reaching out and telling him the truth.  When they see one another again, can she get the courage to move on? I loved the interaction between the characters.  This is an author who is great about humor and banter and never disappoints.  Such a sweet and sexy story that makes for a great read and finishes with an HEA.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! **This early copy was provided by Netgalley and its publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This is book #5, in the True North series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  To avoid spoilers, and have a better understanding of this incredible series, I recommend reading this in order. May has always crushed on Alec.  Having him return her feelings would be a dream come true.  After a bad breakup, he is the one who rescues her.  With a little luck, she can rescue him back. Alec cannot believe his luck.  Things with May around seem to be much better.  All the pain and grief that was coming his way seems to subside with her around.  With her in his arms - who knows what could happen?

Robbie has feelings for Julien.  He is tying himself in knots over them.  He hates Julien's husband, Joel AKA "Priest".  Making sense of his feelings are causing him pain. Julien and Joel have talked about Robbie.  They have never found anyone who fills the needs they require.  He is the only one to posses the qualities they have been looking for.  If only they can show him they are serious, and he is very much wanted. Every page was a revelation.  There is something for everyone in this book.  I loved that is had humor, heat, and hunks.  Even has a cameo by a favorite character.  If you enjoyed the  Temptation series , you are going to love the  Confessions series .  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

This is book #6, in the Temptation series .  This book can be read as a standalone.  With this incredible series - to avoid spoilers, and have complete understanding, I recommend reading this series in order. This is the last book of the series.  With so much at stake, and happening in this fast paced story - I was not sure how it would turn out.  It was so much more than I expected!  The banter was kicked up a notch, the heat was on high, and the characters made me wish I was there!   Tate & Logan finish their story the only way that makes sense.  You know I never give out spoilers - sorry!  I was supremely thankful I got to read this emotional, yet gripping series.  I feel like these characters are now members of my family.  Thank you so much to the author - who promised we have not seen the last of these great men.  I give this book a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
