Very Irresistible Playboy by Lila Monroe Review

4.5 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:

Welcome to Billionaire Bachelors Inc, where the sexiest men in the city are about to meet their match..

Hot bachelor Max Carlisle is heir to a media empire, tabloid catnip, and… wants to hire me to be his fake fiancee. I know what it takes to keep a billionaire in line, but signing up for seven days in close quarters with this Very Irresistible Playboy? It’s just asking for trouble. The kind of thrilling, reckless trouble I could use a little more of since my career is currently ass-backwards in a mud bath with six shih-tzus (don’t ask).

So do I:
a) Take the job, and bicker wildly every step of the way?
b) Embark on a mad-cap treasure hunt to claim his billion-dollar inheritance?
c) Try my hardest not to fall head-over-heels in love with him and wind up having the best sex of my life?
d) All of the above?

Something tells me I’m about to be way out of my league… and under the most handsome, infuriating man I’ve ever met. But with a fortune on the line, can we beat out his crazy relatives to win the prize? And will our fake relationship be game over at the finish line?

Find out in the new sexy, hilarious romantic comedy from Lila Monroe!

 

REVIEW:

I’ve read a few of Lila Monroe’s romantic comedies, and I’ve enjoyed them all. Heavy on the humor and heat, low on the angst and drama, her stories are a light-hearted, easy reading good time. I love Lila Monroe’s descriptive writing style. Her stories are always chock full of little details that bring the story to life in my mind, and her creative plots and interesting side characters combined with a sexy romance make for an enjoyable reading experience.

Very Irresistible Playboy is the first book in her new Billionaire Bachelors series, and I’m already looking forward to book two. This fake fiancé romance had an entertaining spin that I really liked. The heat between Max and Hallie was palpable, and while they may have initially agreed to keep things simple because of their arrangement, there was no fighting this kind of chemistry.

I came into this book nursing one heck of a book hangover courtesy of the heavy, angsty, emotional story, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed to kick that hangover to the curb. This book was sexy, sweet, amusing and just plain fun to read. Very Irresistible Playboy by Lila Monroe gets 4.5 smooches from me!

xo, Zach by Kendall Ryan Review Blitz

 

 

 

The first time we met was at a party.

Your ex arrived to show off the person he’d left you for last month, and you asked me to pretend to be your date.

I was more than happy to help. You were attractive, smart and witty–and that kiss we shared? It left me wanting you for days.

The second time we met was in my office on campus where we were both surprised to discover you were the new master’s degree student in poetry that I would be working with. You promised to be professional. I did no such thing.

The late nights and intense study sessions spent alongside you majorly throw me off my game. I want you, and I fight with myself daily over this fact.

I know I’m crass, that my sexual innuendos and dirty mouth annoy you, but I live for those two bright spots of color in your cheeks. If that’s the only reaction I can get out of you, I’ll gladly take it.

You hate Mondays so every Monday I slip an anonymous poem into your bag and your smile gets me through the week.

I think I’m falling for you, and I know it’s wrong. I know that I’m only supposed to be your adviser and nothing more, but here’s the thing. I think you’re falling for me too.

xo, Zach

REVIEW:

There’s just something so delicious about a forbidden romance, and Kendall Ryan kicked it up a notch in xo, Zach with a fantastically romantic story. Ryan is an exceptionally versatile romance author, and whether it’s one of her intriguing, emotional love stories, a romcom or a contemporary romance, she always delivers a story packed with feels, passion and a heart-racing romance.

As if the whole masters student/student advisor scenario wasn’t complicated enough, Ryan ramped up the plot with a few other obstacles in this slow burning romance. I loved Zach, he was the star of this story for me. He was sexy, soulful and so romantic. He knew what he wanted—Poppy—and he wasn’t shy about making that known. He was patient, thoughtful and his longing for her made my heart flutter. On the other hand, it took some time for me to warm up to Poppy. She was very hot and cold with Zach, and while she did have her reasons, I found myself getting frustrated with her indecision. Fortunately, once she finally did get on the same page as Zach, she was all in.

Ryan rounded out this story with some interesting details. Zach’s notes were the knee-weakening romantic gestures that any girl would love. His mother, bless her crazy, filter-less mouth, added a punch of humor to the story, and seven-year-old Connor brought a level of dimension to Poppy that made some of the waffling she did understandable—not to mention that his interactions with Zach were heart-warming and sweet.

I really enjoyed xo, Zach. It was a very sexy, swoon-worthy romance between two people placed in each other’s paths by fate. While their chemistry was sizzling, they had real-life challenges to work through that made their happily-ever-after that much sweeter. Four smooches for xo, Zach by Kendall Ryan from me!

Keep Her Safe by K.A. Tucker Review

4.5 Smooches

Synopsis

Noah Marshall has had a privileged life thanks to his mother, the highly decorated chief of the Austin Police Department. But all that changes the night she reveals a skeleton that’s been rattling in her closet for years: she doesn’t deserve her commendations or her medals—in fact, she deserves to be locked behind bars for what she did to a fellow officer to save her own reputation. When she finally succumbs to the guilt of destroying an innocent family’s life, she leaves Noah alone to carry the burden of this shocking secret, which she makes him vow never to share.

Gracie Reynolds wasn’t born into trailer park life, but after ten years of learning how to survive in The Hollow, it’s all she knows anymore. At least here people don’t care that she is a byproduct of a white mother and a black father. And they certainly don’t care that her dad was a corrupt Austin cop. Here, she and her mother can almost forget the shame he brought upon them…until a man who clearly doesn’t belong shows up on her doorstep one night, asking questions.

Together, Noah and Gracie set out to uncover the truth about the Austin police department’s dark and messy past­—but the scandal they uncover is bigger than they bargained for, and goes far higher up than they ever imagined.

Review

Whoa. What did I just read? K.A. Tucker just gave us an intense suspenseful ride. I was hooked from the start. With each paged I turned I was attempting to figure out what the next twist would be and most of the time I was completely surprised.

I have always been a big fan of K.A. Tucker’s writing style. She has an amazing way with words and each one seems so intentional and purposeful. I have been reading her for years and as she grows as a writer I continue to fall in love with her stories. Noah and Gracie’s intense story captivated me and stole away all my attention from all the tasks I was supposed to be doing. I loved them and the mystery they find themselves wrapped up in.

Bad For You by J. Daniels Review Tour

“If you’re a fan of Kristen Ashley, then you will love this book.” -Aestas Book Blog on Four Letter Word

He didn’t want to be bad. He just didn’t have a choice…
Shayla Perkins isn’t the kind of girl who makes the same mistake twice, especially when it comes to Sean “Stitch” Molina. So when he gives her the world’s biggest rejection, that’s it–she’s done. Until the sexy, silent, unavailable Sean makes Shay a very personal offer. Of course, it still doesn’t mean he’s interested in her. Or does it?
Sean has done things in life. Bad things. And he’s paid the price. All he wants now is to make up for his past by doing good in the present. And no one deserves more good than Shay. Beautiful on the inside and out, Shay is the kind of woman who should be cared for and protected–especially from a man like Sean. He’s tried to keep his feelings for her in check, but a single, reckless impulse pulls them closer than ever before.

Soon the two are sharing their biggest dreams and satisfying their deepest desires. But what will happen if the only way to truly give each other what they want most…is to let each other go?

Bad For You by J. Daniels Review

5 Smooches

Synopsis

He didn’t want to be bad. He just didn’t have a choice…

Shayla Perkins isn’t the kind of girl who makes the same mistake twice, especially when it comes to Sean “Stitch” Molina. So when he gives her the world’s biggest rejection, that’s it–she’s done. Until the sexy, silent, unavailable Sean makes Shay a very personal offer. Of course, it still doesn’t mean he’s interested in her. Or does it?

Sean has done things in life. Bad things. And he’s paid the price. All he wants now is to make up for his past by doing good in the present. And no one deserves more good than Shay. Beautiful on the inside and out, Shay is the kind of woman who should be cared for and protected–especially from a man like Sean. He’s tried to keep his feelings for her in check, but a single, reckless impulse pulls them closer than ever before.

Soon the two are sharing their biggest dreams and satisfying their deepest desires. But what will happen if the only way to truly give each other what they want most…is to let each other go?

Review

Let’s start this review by saying this as a fact: Bad For You is J. Daniel’s BEST BOOK YET. There I said it.

I have been eagerly awaiting Shayla and Stitch’s story since I got a touch of it in HIt The Spot. It was clear from the teases we got that this would be an angsty hard romance but still, I was unprepared for the depth of emotion this story brought out in me. I am torn between gushing over every well thought out and planned detail in this book and keeping my lips shut so you, the reader, can discover all the details that J. Daniels meticulously laid out. Bad For You is incredibly well written. She mixed tenderness, with heat, heart, and a dose of soul-crushing angst (not so much you won’t recover but Sean’s story will have you tearing up in parts).

There were so many hits in this novel for me I cannot even list them all without the review feeling too gushy. I adored how she mixed in pop culture, Snapchat. I fell hard for Stitch, he was so much more than I could have ever imagined. Shayla’s determination had me rooting for her from the start. These were two characters determined to get what they wanted in this life, even if that meant sacrificing in order to achieve it. Neither had it easy but both worked hard and deserved their HEA so so so much.

Bad For You was addicting in the best way possible. I yearn for more. I have been a longtime fan of the author but I can honestly say I am so proud of the depth and heart she put into this story.

EXCERPT:

“I think we should establish some ground rules,” I announce, as we drive along the curving ocean road. Palm trees are swaying, the ocean is glittering aquamarine blue, and it’s all so gorgeous and romantic, I need to cling to some semblance of professionalism.

Max groans. “Do we have to?”

“Yes,” I say firmly. “We’re pretending to be in a relationship, so things could get . . .”

Hot . . . Tempting . . .

“Complicated,” I finally decide.

“OK.” Max sounds amused. “What did you have in mind?”

“No touching below the waist,” I say. “No PDA except holding hands and quick kisses. No tongue. And no talking about our imaginary sex life.”

I’m a little too hot and bothered just imagining we have an imaginary sex life.

“Fine.” Max grins. “I promise not to ravish you in front of my entire family.”

BLURB:

What
happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay there…

Alec Rourke
wasn’t going to waste a night out on the Strip, not even if his friends skipped
their own co-ed bachelor-and-ette party. But he never expected to find a
plus-one for their wedding—his new wife.

And
sometimes you find yourself married to a stranger…

Alessia
Valenti was having the worst day ever. Fired from her job. An eviction notice
on her door. Her sister dragged her out to blow off some much-needed steam.
Only she hadn’t planned on a stop at the wedding chapel with a hot hockey
player.

Married Into
Love can be read as a standalone. Each book in the Bachelorette Party series
features a different couple.

 

 

EXCERPT

“I still can’t believe how fast all you guys fell for your women. You. Andrew. Jason.” I
took a shot of vodka, and poured us both another one. “Not a single one of you
were into the whole relationship thing at all, and then bam! You’ve got eyes
for only one woman and a possessive streak a mile wide when it comes to her.”

Ryan took the vodka from me and gulped it down, shrugging his shoulders. “When you meet
the one, you’ll know. Just don’t make the same mistake that I did with Tamara
and let her get away from you.”

“That’s another thing all three of you have in common.” I chuckled and shook my head.
“I’m not the kind of guy to fall head over heels for a woman at first sight
like you guys did. But if hell froze over”—I paused to glare at Ryan as he
burst into a fit of laughter—“and I get all riled up over some chick I barely
know, I won’t make the same mistake you all did. No walking away from her, even
if I think she belongs to someone else like Andrew did with Josie. No letting
her run from me because she thinks I’m a douchebag who hits on a woman all
night long, only to get up close and personal with some other chick while she’s
in the bathroom, like what happened with Jason and Cee-Cee. And I sure as shit
won’t let her sneak out on me the morning after like you did with Tamara. I’ll
exhaust the hell out of her so leaving me is the last thing on her mind.”

We reversed roles, and it was Ryan who was glaring at my reminder of how he’d fucked up
with Tamara and lost contact with her for months. Then he narrowed his eyes at
me, and a smug grin tilted his lips. I shifted in my seat, uncomfortable with
how pleased he suddenly looked.

“What?” I asked sharply, and the limo got quiet as Jason’s childhood friends stopped talking
and turned to look at Ryan and me.

“Nothing.” His grin turned into a full-fledged, shit-eating grin.

“Bullshit, dude. What the fuck’s up with you? You went from being totally pissed at me to
grinning like you know something I don’t. Don’t be a douche. Fill me in on the
secret.”

“Karma, man. She’s a bitch,” he chuckled.

“You’re gonna have to do better than that,” I growled.

“That’s the second time I’ve heard you say that hell would have to freeze over for you to
fall for a woman. And now you’ve paired it with bragging about how you’d handle
it better than we all did.”

“Dude,” one of Jason’s friends drawled. “Talk about tempting fate. You’ve got to have brass
balls to put shit like that out in the universe and think it’s not gonna come
back to bite you in the ass.”

Hockey players tended to be a superstitious lot, but I hadn’t expected the wealthy,
preppy guys Jason grew up with to believe in stuff like karma. Not that I grew
up poor—my parents did very well for themselves, but they weren’t in the same
league as Jason’s family and their closest friends.

“It is,” Ryan agreed. “And I’m going to enjoy every second of watching you squirm when
it happens.”

Don’t Go by Alexa Riley Review

4 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:

CEO Henry Osbourne has only ever desired one woman—the one who got away. New York Times and #1 ebook bestselling author Alexa Riley returns with Don’t Go , a virgin-hero insta-love contemporary romance in the For You series

I’ve spent the past ten years convincing myself that what I felt for her was teenage infatuation. That love so consuming couldn’t be real. Then everything went to shit, and in an instant, she was gone.

Kory Summers knew returning to New York meant running into Henry. The way her heartbeat picked up at just the thought was nervousness—not anticipation. Oh, no. She never expected to find him on her doorstep looking as handsome as ever.

She’s mine. She always has been. I’ve waited this long for her…but time’s up. I’ll use all my power, all my connections, to convince her she’s the one.

Kory ran from a boy, but a man of power and persuasion now stands in his place.

 

REVIEW:

There’s no point beating around the bush here, so I’m just going put it out there—one of my favorite guilty pleasure pastimes is curling up with smutty, insta-love novellas. Those wholly unrealistic little gems about the over-the-top, obsessed, all-alpha male who stops at nothing—and I mean nothing—to claim the virgin of his dreams. Are these stories an accurate depiction of real-life romance? No! Of course not, but that’s part of what makes them so deliciously fun and entertaining.

Fantasy-based escapism reading is just that – a fantastical story built on a foundation of improbable circumstances, most likely involving some wild scenario, resulting in a sugary sweet insta-love story that ends in steamy sex. When I’m in the mood to get lost in a story like this, Alexa Riley is who I reach for first. They are the reigning queens of the trope, the mistresses of this madness, the grand dames of dirty, and believe me, they do one heck of a justice to the smutty novella genre.

Don’t Go is part of their For You series, a spin-off of their For Her series of full-length novels. I’ve read—and loved—them all, and I’ve been as anxious as one of their virgin heroines staring down the crazed, panting alpha hero for the first time waiting for the billionaire son of the Everything for Her couple who started this whole series, Henry Osbourne’s story. A super-fast read, this book was a tooth-achingly sweet and fanning-myself sexy way to kill an hour that left me with a smile on my face. Four smooches from me for Don’t Go by Alexa Riley!
