Austin is not just a former football player, he is a sports agent in his own right.  He is also a devoted family man despite the player reputation.  He cares enough to give a kidney - that shows how much his family means to him. Quinn is excited to work for such a sports legend.  She knows she will learn much, and is actually shocked to be hired.  When the temptaion of her boss gets harder, she is not sure she can resist.  Until he needs her even more...... There are so many things I want to tell you about this story.  I am not a spoiler though, so here it is: read the book.  This was just really romance goodness from start to finish.  The attraction was strong with heat, that turned up rather quickly.  The main characters were passionate and caring. The pace was not too slow, but pretty steady.  Overall a great book to grab and read. I couldn't put this down!  I give this a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC cop...

This is book # 3 in the Sexy series.   This story can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order. Landon is looking for talent to perform over the summer.  In looking he finds the right talent.  Now he must convince her to sign on the dotted line. What he doesn't plan on is being attracted her so strongly. Vivi is excited for the opportunity she has been waiting for all her life.  Little does she know it comes with strings.  Can she keep a secret that could cancel her happiness before it has even begun?   This was an amazing read.  I loved the story, and the characters were just meant to be.  I found the story to be bittersweet.  Plan for tissues as this is a moving and emotional story that wraps around you and pulls the reader in.  The strength of the characters and their attraction was powerful  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's P...

This book is a short story addition to the Billionaire Bad Boys series.   This book should not be read until after  Going Down Easy .  For a complete understanding of the series, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this after the incredible  Billionaire Bad Boys series . Kaden just wants time to be with his special woman.  His wife, his everything, and he wants to reconnect.  The day of love everywhere seems like the perfect time. Lexie was excited to have time alone with her special man.  Then a surprise interrupts their travel.  Should she tell him or wait until they get home? This story was short, hot, and sexy.  This series is such a hot trip.  I loved returning to this couple, and so grateful I got a peek into where they are now.  I give this read a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

This is book #6.5 from the Dare To Love series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel, but I would not recommend this.  Reading these in order helps to avoid spoilers and gives a full understanding of such a deliciously sexy family series. Ian misses alone time with his wife.  Surprises can be fun.  He plans a Christmas present for both by making the time. Riley cannot believe how tired she is lately.  She is wishing she had more time for all the directions she feels pulled in. This was a short, sexy, and sweet stop back into see where the characters were in their lives.  My only complaint was that it was too short.  My joy was that they are great together.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was provided for review purposes only.

Faith is building her business the best she knows how.  All while trying to stay hidden from the danger she knows is trying to find her.  When she meets a hot guy willing to be of help it is such a nice change of pace.  But a risk she may need to avoid. Jason AKA "Jase" Has been wanting to bring his business up to the next level.  After a chance encounter helping a damsel in distress, he gets the courage to ask his business partners to take the risk with him.  Now he just needs to man up and take the risk in asking her out too. This was a slower start than I expected.  I like that the characters were very compelling.  They had more to their story, and really did need each other.  Then there were the sparks between them that kept the heat simmering until it erupts into flame.  Such a good read.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

This is book #5, in The Knight Brothers series.   This book should be read in order, though it could be on its own.  It makes more sense, and to avoid spoilers, you should read this sexy series in order. Harper has lived a lonely existence.  She is now looking to make up for it and move on - but her thoughts and cravings always lead her back to Matt.  She has tried but, all she wants is him. Matt hears Harper's car, and knows she will be needing him soon.  He plans a way to be with her while out of town and finally tell her how he feels.  It's time she knows she is his everything. This short and sexy story has a HOT streak that nearly singes the book.  These two finally get their story, and it is worth every word.  I enjoyed it and am glad I made this author an automatic click to read.  I give this a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

This is book #3, in The Knight Brothers series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order. Ethan meets Sienna and the attraction between them is instantaneous.  She is also totally forbidden, as the sister of one his biggest clients.  How can you turn down desire that is overwhelming? Sienna has never felt this way about anyone.  Ethan and her feeling for him are all consuming.  He wants her to be his secret.  After what her family went through that is not something she wants to sign up for. Totally blown away at how deep and compelling these characters are.  The story goes along at a good pace, and the favorites from previous books make appearances as well.  This book is the total trifecta.  I cannot wait for the next book by this amazing author.  I give this a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was provided for an ...

This is book #3, in the Bodyguard Bad Boys series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order. Austin was not looking for anything at all.  He had a bad experience with his ex-wife, who still wants to extort him even now.  Having the hots for the nanny seems so cliche', but he cannot seem to keep hands or mouth off the amazing woman who watches his beloved daughter. Mia has something haunting her from the past that is coming after her with a vengeance.  She feels safe with Austin, but to put his child in harms way is not acceptable.  Will love be the ingredient that makes this better? Like all the books in this series, this one has hot hot hot sexy times.  The characters are amazing, and there are conflicts that make the solution feel worthwhile. I loved the pace, banter, and sparks that were a-flyin'!  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's P...

Very few people understand her and she trusts even less … but she believed in Julian once, and he only betrayed her.   Now Julian is back — a new man — and determined to win Kendall's heart.

Better now

This is book #4, in the Billionaire Bad Boys series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and understanding, I recommend reading series books in order. Julian is recovering from hitting the absolute bottom.  He takes the steps to getting better seriously now.  He is trying to make amends where he can. Kendall has her own issues.  While health is important, the heart wants what it wants.  Can she go back to loving the man who makes her heart melt?  Or was the past too much for the new her to  handle? These characters are obviously meant to be together.  What is even better, they both have taken the time to get their own personal selves better.  I think this story shows how important it is to take care of your own business before worrying about someone else.  Then you are free to love as you like.  I give this book a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange f...
