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.

Counting on Love Series by Erin Nicholas     Average rating of 4.3 stars (Based on the 6 books rated at KBS!)       Since you will ask here is the deal.   My favorite book?  Whoa.  #4 Going For Four.   My favorite quote?  Like I always tell you, read them.  It is so worth it.     Without further ado, here are the books and reviews in order:     Just Count on Me by Erin Nicholas My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book was created by the wonderful author who answered her readers requests. She brought together in this short and sweet book The Bradford's & The Dixon's. This combines the series The Bradford's & Counting On Love. This quick book is an introduction to where the Dixon family begins telling their tales. We leave off from where The Bradford's were here. If you are reading both series I caution you to read in order so you can give yourself the heat and excitement without spoilers....

This is book #5 in the Counting On Love series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader understanding and enjoyment, I recommend reading this series in order. This amazing series concludes with Gabby and Conner who work together.  They end up living together and reviewing how they look at their relationship or non-relationship as it is.  Other opinions aside, they really feel the sparks and are having a tough time ignoring one another. Conner has realized he is starting to feel something more for her.  Gabby is someone special in his life.  He is actually angry with himself for how long it has taken for him to appreciate it.  Now what can he do about it? This amazing series has been a joy to read!  It is HOTTER than I first predicted.  I love the character development over time.  I also love that the friendships and relationships are solid and proof that everyone can be loved.  I give this stor...

This is book #3, in the Counting On Love series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and understanding, I recommend reading series in order. Nate is trying his best to resist the outgoing and sometimes crazy, Emma.  It is getting harder as she is his patient now.  He knows he must resist but he is nearly forgetting why. Emma has been attracted to Nate for a while now.  She knows she is not his type.  With them butting heads at every turn, she is doubtful they will ever get together. This series just gets hotter!  This story had them butting heads & the banter was flowing.  I was laughing so hard!  I really enjoyed reading about the development between these two.  I have rooted for her for several books now.  I give this story a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.

This is book #2, in the Counting On Love series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For the readers enjoyment and understanding, I recommend reading this incredible series in order. Shane & Isabelle are basically broken up as this book begins.  With her basically being the love of his life, he is willing to make some concessions.  They put this to the test. Isabelle has been keeping many secrets from Shane.  This could make or break their relationship.  As it is, they are on the outs.  If only they didn't have such a powerful attraction between them. This book had all the feels and then some.  I really could not stop laughing for part of it.  Then the sad.  The characters just make you feel everything with such power.  Very well written.  Seriously good series.  I cannot wait to read the next book.  I give this story a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for...

Ryan and Amanda have known one another for a while.  He works with her brother, making him forbidden.  Until one day something happens to change it all .... Amanda just needed to be rescued.  She just mentioned his name as a means to get rid of an unwanted suitor.  Not really knowing what it would cause. This series is so good.  The characters are mostly related and the interaction is fun to read.  I liked how the humor in the story made it more real.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.

Matched set

This is a combo of books 6 & 7 in the Bend Or Break series .  These can be read as standalone novels.  For reader enjoyment and understanding of the series, I recommend reading them in order. These books are a good choice as a set since they both have characters who must overcome being opposites and find common ground. I think it is better to review each book separately so here are both of the reviews for these books.  (These have been previously posted, but not together.)

Connor comes back to his hometown.  Things are different.  All that he had is gone.  Can he start over with a stranger watching? John moved to this small town after losing someone special.  He needed a change and he needed it quick.  Buying and renovating an old home may keep his mind busy a while. This story was nothing like what I was used to.  Kind of slow, like the town it is based in.  The characters were good together, and you cannot help rooting for them.  In the end I realized this story was like a warm sock.  It slithers around your skin and makes you feel warm.  I give this book a 3/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest review.
