Waiting

This is book #2, in A Perfect Fit series.   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  To avoid spoilers, and have a greater understanding of the series, I recommend reading this in order. Valerie has been in love with her brother's best friend for as long as she can remember.  He has never even looked at her with longing.  She is still waiting for the day he wakes up, if ever. Logan has noticed the very hot Valerie.  She has no idea what he has done to stay away.  When she finds out, she may be very angry.  He just cannot resist her.  The eyes, that body, everything. I think this series has me bedazzled!  I love the characters, and how hot the sexy stuff sizzles.  The banter is right on, and the heat is just turning up.  I cannot wait for the next book!  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an honest review, by Netgalley and its publisher.

This is the 3rd book in the Billionaire Bad Boys series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding and enjoyment, I recommend reading this series in order. Elijah AKA Eli meets Isabella AKA Isa (or Sable) when she comes to work for him as his assistant.  He has fired and sent away all the others she has tried to get him to work with.  A battle torn veteran, he has lost more than his leg. Isa puts up with a lot of attitude from Eli so she can build up her business.  She decides to put herself in as the temporary employee.  The sparks star flying from the moment they meet. This series is always full of heat, hot men, and surprises.  This story fits in very well.  We get to see more of our favorite characters from previous books as also.  Such a fun read.  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given by Netgalley and its publishers, in exchange for an honest review onl...

Fake or real

Kate and James go back to high school and prom.  So when they see one another again it is with surprise.  And a ton of sparks flying..... James has always thought Kate was hot.  Now he thinks she should hand out ice.  He is trying to figure out how to approach her when fate takes over.   Kate wants to stop dreaming about him.  Well, maybe.  He is just so sexy and what is a girl to do?  She agrees to help him, that's what.  Now, maybe if some of the fake could be real?

Blog Tour w/Review - NOBODY BUT YOU

Image
        About NOBODY BUT YOU:   When Jacob was injured in the war, it changed him for life. Now all he wants to do is come home to Cedar Ridge, settle in at his lakeside cabin and get some much-needed peace and quiet. But there's no peace to be had when he finds a spitfire of a woman camping out on his property. Half the time he's not sure whether he wants to spank her or kiss--or maybe both. He's in a dark place and a dark mood, and here's this wildly hot woman who is also funny and light and may be the balm be needs to soothe his aching soul.   Sophie Marren is pretty much penniless after leaving her abusive husband. She doesn't have the money to pay rent or the slip fees for docking the boat where she's been sleeping. She was getting along just perfectly until the good-looking, brooding, I'm-too-sexy-for-myself guy moves into the lake cabin that the slip belongs to. Sure he's hot as the noon sun with those dark lens and even darker 'tu...

Love is real

This is the 3rd book in the Cedar Ridge series .   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and full understanding, please read in order. Jacob returns like the prodigal son, only to find there is someone right outside his door who would rather be left alone herself.  Sophie has wounds that go deep and keep her from opening up, much like he does.  They truly are a set match. Sophie and Jacob both have secrets and pain that they hide from the world.  Right from the start, they have trouble hiding their feelings for each other.  Can someone who relies only on themselves ever learn to lean on another person?  They both need to meet halfway to make this relationship real. Truly another fabulous book by the amazing author!  The characters are complex.  The sexy heat is a strong slow burn right from the beginning.  The other characters we love from this series are here for comic relief.  It is a well...

This is book # 5 in the Alpha Ops series .   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  It is my recommendation for full understanding and comprehension for the reader, this series should be read in the order intended.  It does not disappoint. Simon and Sadie have a complicated past.  Now it appears they will have a complicated future as well.  Sadie cannot tell him about her training and op.  He cannot talk about his either. Sadie was hurt by his actions in the past.  Can she forgive what he does now?  She cannot seem to stay away from the magnetic pull that draws her to him.  The attraction still pulls at them both.  The sparks are flying! Simon is trying to figure her out, while also saving his mark from being taken.  If only they had gotten it right in the past.  Then maybe the future would look brighter.  I think if I had more thumbs I would give it 5 thumbs up!  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Pa...

This is book # 4 in The Bennetts series .   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  It is part of an amazing and fulfilling series.  Reader enjoyment and understanding are better when read in the order intended. Trevor is fascinated with Sofie even before they meet.  Afterwards, he cannot stop thinking about her.  While he sees the beauty on the surface like everyone else, he also understands by looking into her eyes that there is so much more to her. Sofie is immediately attracted to Trevor, even before they are introduced.  The pull of him is stronger than any other man she has come into contact with.  Too bad she is so scarred from the pain and the past where man have used her as a pawn. I found this story absolutely fascinating.  It shows more powerfully how looks can be deceiving.  I think it also is telling of how even beauty can be a vice.  I loved this addition to the series!  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty'...

That is, until dog whisperer Evelyn Jones walks into the facility . . . and into Atlas's heart. David hates to admit that the curvy blonde's mesmerizing effect isn't limited to canines. But when Lyn's work with Atlas puts her in danger, David will do anything to protect her. Lyn realizes that David's own battle scars make him uniquely qualified for his job as a trainer. Tough as nails yet gentle when it counts, he's gotten closer to Atlas than anyone else-and he's willing to put his hard-wired suspicion aside to let her do the same. But someone desperate enough to kill doesn't want Lyn working with At...
