Bess is new employee working for an established sports agency.  With her birthday coming up, her boss invites her to dinner with some new clients.  She figures it will give her experience, so why not go? Mark AKA "Tank" is excited to be chosen to work with the team in New York.  He was more than pleased to meet such a sexy woman at dinner too.  Maybe they should get to know one another? This was a quick jaunt into the lives of some very talented characters.  I was pleased to get to read their "meet cute."  Right from the beginning they are attracted to each other.  The fact they are intelligent only adds to the attraction.  We see these amazing characters again in the current book Sure Shot.

As the second line center for the Arizona Vengeance, my mind has been on one thing—helping my team bring home a championship.

That meant asking for the unthinkable—a trade to the Carolina Co...

This is book #6.5 in the Arizona Vengeance series.   This book should be read in conjunction with the authors Cold Fury series to fully enjoy.  It is not required, obviously, but will make the understanding easier.  It will also stop any spoilers that could occur. Rafe comes home to Raleigh under the most dire of circumstances.  His father is dying and there is nothing he can do about it except be there.  He chooses to move himself to be with family.  While there he meets back up with the love of his life, Calliope. Calliope has not been waiting for Rafe.  He hurt her so badly the last time they were together that she believes there is no going back.  While watching his family slowly fall apart while holding it all together simultaneously, she realizes she did miss him. Not as long a story as we may be used to.  However, this book packs a mighty punch.  Both emotionally, and characteristically.  These are solid MC's wi...

This is book # 3.5, in the Voyeur series.  This book should not be read as a standalone novella.  It is a story follow up for book # 2, and should be read in order in order not to spoil. Jackson and Jake's story continues with wedding jokes, venues, and potential mothers-in-law.  So much going on that the guys seem not to be connecting like they were.  Can the past stay there? Jake has no idea what has Jackson so upset and tired lately.  What happened to wanting to be married?  What happened to forever?  He is going to find out no matter what. This short and sexy novella was a perfect glimpse into the lives of the guys we were missing.  What a great series.  So much to these characters and we are so glad to have more time with them. I loved this great read.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

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. If you missed the review for when this couple got their start in...

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.

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.

Jennifer has basically grown up in the same small town as Marcus.  When her grandmother warns her to stay away from him - she takes it seriously.  She takes everything seriously. Marcus is completely shocked when the woman of his dreams asks him for a favor.  As they get to know one another by carpooling to and from work, they are surprised to find common ground.  Now if he could just convince her to give him a shot...... Such an amazing and sexy book.  Felt like I was right there feeling the emotions of the characters.  Their journey may have been a long one, but with the right words it can be the best one.  I was very happy to root for these two to be together.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in for my honest opinion and review.

Gabe is sick of the long boring commute to work.  He is also sick and tired of hook ups that go no where.  Trying one app just one more time he hits the proverbial jackpot.  Now all he has to do is convince Mark he is worth taking the chance. Mark is very attracted to Gabe and he is not afraid to show it.  He finds the best locations to meet up and make sure to get alone time with the amazing Gabe.  The only catch here is he really wants to take it to be something more.  Is it time to try? This short story is a sweet tickle of hotness.  The book itself may be small, but the content is still very HOT!  Nice treat for any avid romance reader.  I give this a 3/5 Kitty Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

Crispin has been close friends with Wills for a long time.  They have only recently drifted apart due to time and location.  When they get together for holidays its like they never left. Wills has a hard time expressing himself.  Well, technically they both have their hang ups.  Still being new at this more than friends stuff, they both need to find the courage to tell the other they want more. I truly became quickly attached to these characters!  This author was a new read for me, but I was sucked in with just a few pages.  This was a short and sweet - yet extremely hot - new story.  I loved the sincerity that came across for these two and I am anticipating more!  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This short story was given in exchange for an honest review.

This book is related to the Assassins series .  This qualifies as what could be a prequel for said series.  I recommend reading the amazing series in order, if possible. Grace's POV is where we begin reading this quick read.  She is the kind of girl that wants forever.  The kind you take home to your mother. James has never been the forever kind.  For Grace, he will learn how.  This is a small piece of how they get together.  Tugging on our heartstrings, he chases the one he loves. This was a small and simply sweet read.  Sexy tension is in the room whenever these two are.  Learning how they got together, when we can appreciate it later in their son's story.  I give this yummy piece a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Carter loves the holidays.  His partner is a doctor, and worked straight through.  So he gets one heck of a surprise for Valentine's Day. Vaughn has wanted to show Carter how much he cares.  This was just a simple way to show how much there is between them.  A way to show he is always on his mind. This was a short and sweet story about real love that overcomes obstacles.  The characters bring much heat and adoration to each page.  I loved the sincerity that came across.  This author combo is always a must click for me, and this proved why.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Nick & Tessa met in college and along with one other best friend, started up a now successful business together.  Nick has been waiting for his chance with her, patiently, and now is the time.  Tessa is leaving to start her own business.  She has been in love with Nick for a while now, and it is hard to see him everyday and know he cannot be hers.  Will they take a chance? This short story was a quick and sexy read.  I loved how the characters interacted with one another.  It also made me wonder - will we see more of the Damien?  Really simple and good read.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This copy was given in exchange for an honest review by its publishers.

This is probably what I would consider  The Boy Friend #1.5 .  This should not be meant to be a standalone read.  It takes place following  The Boy Friend .  I recommend reading them in order to avoid spoilers. Coriander AKA "Cori" is going to finally marry Dean.  We leave off 6 months after the last book ended, with this couple so happy together officially.  Cori just has secrets she is afraid to approach with Dean. Dean has so much love for his bride to be.  All he wishes is that she would communicate with him so they can solve what is wrong.  He knows he will do anything for his dear Cori. This is such a sweet, if short jaunt back into the lives of our favorite couple.  Trying to keep their bliss, they encounter some rough spots on the way to matrimony.  Worth the simple and hot read.  I give this book a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This early copy was given in exchange for an honest review.
