Willa meets the hunk of a lifetime while her friends are enjoying strippers.  She assumes he is one of them.  Instead he has a solid job, and a sexy body, and moves she has never before seen. Grady cannot believe he bargained a date with the most beautiful woman he has ever seen over a trip to the bathroom for three women.  He only knows he cannot wait to see her again.  He is rethinking all of his own ideas about dating after meeting Willa. Such a sexy and fun story!  Just what I have come to enjoy from this author.  These characters made me laugh.  That is always welcome in a romance book.  I found this one had a lot of surprises and the best one you must read this book for.  I give this read a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given by Netgalley and its publishers in exchange for an honest review.

Hurts

I was given the option to have a 'FREE PREVIEW' of this new book.  I loved it so much and could not put it down, so I ran to the library as soon as I finished my preview, so I could finish the story.  So worth it.  God Bless my local county library! Josh meets Kristen in a less than stellar way.  Then when they meet officially later, they already have to work harder to impress one another.  They are mutual friends of a couple who is getting married so there is a lot going on. Kristen is involved with someone else when she meets Josh, so they are just friends.  For now.  If ever a chance arises to to take it to another level?  Well lets just say there are enough sparks between them to light up Las Vegas. This was such a witty and fun story.  I really could not put it down.  I found the characters to be deliciously complex.  The heat and heart in the book made it a great read.  The pace was steady, and there was...

This is the 3rd book in the Rosewood Bay series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment & understanding, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order. Juliette comes to Rosewood Bay to meet the sisters she never knew she had.  She meets Braden right away and they click immediately.  The attraction burns bright on both sides. Braden is tasked to keep tabs on Juliette, and he has no idea how to tell her.  Her father and her past is quickly going to ruin the great start they have.  Braden must convince Juliette that they have a future and its worth it. This was a sexy sweet combo in one book.  A great addition to this  series , the story starts with serious heat that just burns all throughout the book.  I loved the banter and the very real subject matters.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC was given in exchange for an honest review only.

This is book #5, in the Sydney Smoke Rugby series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment of the series, and to avoid spoilers, I recommend reading this series in order. Eleanore AKA "Nell" has a family who does not understand her.  They have no idea why she prefers to think about an earlier era in history, as well as design costumes appropriate for it.  She has other matters she finds pressing, so she tells herself to take a chance. Bodie has no idea he has met the little sister of his teammate and best friend.  If he knew, he would never be thinking hot as Hades ideas about her.  Much less acting on them.  When he does find out, can he forgive her for wanting a life of her own? This story was so sweet and yet so very sexy.  Right at the beginning, these characters had steam coming off the pages as I read.  The sparks were flying and I felt them as if I was there in the story.  I was excited to see su...

Jake & Darby are neighbors, and he wants to be more.  He also owns her favorite restaurant and she feels it is a little too close for comfort.  What if something were to go wrong? Darby does not believe in happily ever after.  Not anymore.  She has the case files to prove her theory.  So the fact she is attracted to Jake bothers her.  How can she want someone so wrong for her? This is a funny story.  It also has some hot secy times.  The characters are certainly meant to be and it is a slow burn watching them circle one another.  The case files are a must read for any romance lover.  I give this book a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest review, by Netgalley and its publisher.

This is book # 2 in The Magister series .  This book is not intended to be read on its own.  The reader should read the series in order intended, so you might understand characters, events, and such without spoilers. Sandra & Charles story continues in this book.  Sandra is still hiding her relationship with him.  They are not sure what the outcome would be if it were to become public.  The assumption is not good. This story is actually very compelling.  It has many emotional moments that truly moved me.  On a lighter note, it is also a very sexy book.  It is HOT!  I am eager to get to the next book in the series.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an honest review.
