Synopsis

Some men are born responsible, some men have responsibility thrust upon them. Henry John Edgar Thomas Pembrook, Prince of Wessco, just got the motherlode of all responsibility dumped in his regal lap.

He’s not handling it well.

Hoping to help her grandson to rise to the occasion, Queen Lenora agrees to give him “space”—but while the Queen’s away, the Prince will play. After a chance meeting with an American television producer, Henry finally makes a decision all on his own:

Welcome to Matched: Royal Edition.

A reality TV dating game show featuring twenty of the world’s most beautiful blue bloods gathered in the same castle. Only one will win the diamond tiara, only one will capture the handsome prince’s heart.

While Henry revels in the sexy, raunchy antics of the contestants as they fight, literally, for his affection, it’s the quiet, bespectacled girl in the corner—with the voice of an angel and a body that would tempt a saint—who catches his eye.

The more Henry gets to know Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum, the more enamored he becomes of her simple beauty, her strength, her kind spirit… and her naughty sense of humor.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day—and irresponsible royals aren’t reformed overnight.

As he endeavors to right his wrongs, old words take on whole new meanings for the dashing Prince. Words like, Duty, Honor and most of all—Love.

 

REVIEW

Man.  I thought that I really loved the first book in this series, but I adored this one even more and I wasn’t convinced that I was going to love Henry, but boy did Emma Chase prove me wrong.  Because Henry was sweet and hilarious and he pulled at all of my heart strings.  He was just everything I love in  book boyfriend.

‘I like my sports the way i like to fuck–wild, loud, and dirty.’

Henry was the perfect blend of gentleman and dirty man.  Sometimes he comes downright child like and I wanted to hug him and help him.  He is lost a good part of this book, trying to find his way and I just loved that Sara was there to help him find himself.  And Sara.  She was amazing too.  I love a librarian nerdy type girl, especially one that is in love with being in love and romance and Sara fits that bill to a T.  She was funny and snarky but also just the sweetest.

I was a little worried that I wouldn’t love this story because of the reality show aspect of it, but that part really takes a big back seat to the love story blooming between Henry and Sara.  It is an epic one that you will simply love.  Grab this one now and fall in love with Henry and Sara like I did.  You won’t regret it.  Royally Matched was even better than the first in this series.

IMG_5273I met Bianca in an elevator.

She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck.

The beautiful, raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed.

She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she’d dubbed “Mister Moneybags”—her afternoon appointment.

Bianca told me how much she hated Dex’s type—snobby, over educated, silver- spooned men who didn’t appreciate the simple things in life.

So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn’t—a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn’t want it to end.

I began dating her as “Jay”—all the while letting her interview the real me over email.

I didn’t expect that our chemistry online would be just as hot.

I didn’t expect the mess I’d gotten myself into.

I didn’t expect that Jay and Dex would fall in love with her.

And she was falling for two men.

Only, both men were me.

And when she found out, we were both going to lose her.

Nothing could have prepared me for that day. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for what came after.

All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

Havoc by Jamie Shaw Review

5 Smooches!

a4-3 a4-4 a4-5 a4 a4-3

Synopsis

When Hailey Harper left her family farm to enroll in veterinary school, she had a plan: keep her head down, ace her classes, and most importantly… don’t upset the uncle paying her tuition. Translation? Don’t piss off his dramatic, self-absorbed daughter, Danica, even if she’s a nightmare to live with.

Falling in love with her cousin’s rock star ex-boyfriend was definitely not part of the plan.

As the drummer of a now-famous rock band, Mike Madden could have any girl he wants. He’s sweet, funny, romantic, talented—and the only guy that’s ever made Hailey’s heart do cartwheels in her chest. The more she gets to know him, the harder she falls, but Hailey knows they can never be more than friends… because Danica wants him back, and she’ll fight dirty to win.

Mike is falling for Hailey too, but Danica’s threats and his rock star life—music video shoots, international tours, obsessed fans—could tear them apart before they’ve even begun. Hailey isn’t sure she’s the one for him, but Mike’s waited years for a girl like her… and he’ll do anything to prove it

REVIEW

 

This series!  Gah.  If you have kept up with my reviews, than you know that I am not a huge fan of what I like to call ‘Rocker Books’. They just aren’t my jam. I don’t fantasize about falling in love with a famous rock star and traveling with him or staying at home and pining away for him, so I tend to shy away from this type of read.  However, I do take a chance on some and thank freaking God that I decided to pick up these books because I have loved every one in the series and was salivating for Mike’s story.  And goodness gracious Havoc did not disappoint.

I could go on and on all day about the amazing plot of this book.  About being reunited with all of my favorites-band members and friends.  I could, but I won’t because I want to tell you the absolute best dang thing about this story–Mike.  My favorite guy!  I always knew he was going to be the sweetest.  The most thoughtful.  The most kind of this authors boys.  And he was.  God, he was.  But he was so much more too!  He was so unexpected.  His mouth.  His positively filthy dirty mouth.  (fans self)  When the sweetest man says the dirtiest things ever it tends to be a bit overwhelming and in a good way!  Gah.  I loved him.  Don’t wait to get this one.  Run out and grab it!  I’m so sad that this series is over, but I cannot wait for more from this author!

Review

Lola Sexton is a quirky oddball of a character who happens to write the dating/romance help column for the San Francisco Times. When freedom loving Reed Lucas. When Reed happens upon one of Lola’s advice column articles, Sex Says, he is astonished how completely wrong she is. So much so that he does something he never has before, he makes a You Tube video explaining all the ways she has it all wrong. Who would guess that overnight the video would go viral and Lola would have her very own nemesis.

There were many things I enjoyed in this standalone novel, the interesting characters, the enemies to lovers storyline and the witty banter to name a few. It was easy to want the sexy man that is Reed Lucas. I will say though for me there simply was too much internal dialogue and the book as a whole was a bit too long. At times I felt like I was lost in this fresh romance and at times I felt the scenes went on too long and made the flow slow to a slightly distracting pace.

Still, I read the book in a day and was thoroughly entertained. I have always enjoyed Max Monroe’s writing style and I will be looking forward to all of their upcoming projects.

Mallory Sims is late for her first day of work.

 Then she sees her new boss.

 This is a disaster in the making. Not because of his pinpoint exactness or her free spirit, but because when they’re together, the sparks that fly threaten to burn the whole place down.

Excerpt

We both know we aren’t just talking about a moved stapler or a mishmash of files. As that really sets in, the air around us gets heavier. Hotter. Hazardous.

“Those things always lead to dangerous situations,” he says, his eyes trained on me.

I shift in my seat, the throb between my legs growing stronger by the second. “People do it every day and survive.”

“They may survive, but don’t things get messy?”

“Only if they do it right.”

His chair flies backwards and he’s to his feet and next to me before I know what’s happening. He doesn’t ask that I stand, but he doesn’t have to. It’s implied and my body reacts accordingly to his silent command.

We stand face-to-face, our breathing ragged. Our chests heave with the anticipation, the possibility, of what might come next.

“You are, quite possibly, the most dangerous of them all,” he says, his voice rough.

“Why is that?” I breathe.

“There’s no plan for you.”

“But you’ve already penciled me in, haven’t you, Graham?” I ask, finding the courage to play this little game with him. Being strictly professional is incredibly hard, and this is way too easy.

I can flirt with the best of them in a bar or on a college campus. But here, with him, it’s a game all its own. A level I had no idea I’d ever be a contender in. Maybe I’m not, but I’m going to play the hell out of it while I’m here … even though if I keep it up, I might not be here for long.

“What do you want, Mallory?”

“I want to do all the things you ask of me and do them better than you ever expected they could be done.”

A rumble emits from his throat as his eyes darken. My knees go weak and I grab the table with my left hand to ensure I don’t fall.

He licks his lips and flips his gaze to my mouth. I think I whimper as I lift my chin, waiting to see what he does next. My entire body is on fire for this man, my heart thumping so hard I’m sure he can hear it.

He moves so my back is pressed against the table, our food long forgotten. His hands are on either side of me, caging me in. Our eyes locked together, he leans in, a slow smirk spreading across his gorgeous face.

“Excuse me, Mr. Landry. Ford is here to see you,” Raza chirps through the line.

We exhale simultaneously, a giggle escaping with mine. There’s nothing funny about this, but the energy has to come out in some way.

“Mr. Landry?” she asks again.

“I’ll be right out. Thank you, Raza.”

“Oh, you’re so welcome, sir.” The line clicks off and Graham marches across the room and punches a button. The light on top indicates he’s not to be disturbed.

I busy myself with cleaning up our lunch, and before he’s at my side again, I have everything bundled up.

“Thanks for lunch,” I say like nothing just happened.

“Mallory …” He runs his hand through his hair, leaving one lock sticking up. Knowing what that will look like if we walk out together, I reach up, hesitating for a split second, before smoothing it out.

His hair is silky against my fingers. He jumps when I touch him at first, but doesn’t back away. “What are you doing?”

“Nothing went on in here. I refuse for it to look like something did. That’s the way rumors get spread, Mr. Landry.”

“Mallory, I …”

I get a final look at his face, reach up and straighten his tie as his eyes go wide, then turn towards the door. “I’ll send Ford in.”

“Mallory!”

“Yeah?” I turn to see him over my shoulder. He’s standing by the table, his hands in his pockets looking frazzled. When he doesn’t respond, I place my hand on the knob. “I’ll have that file back to you before I leave today. Thanks again for lunch.”

I walk out before I can change my mind.

Review

I just love me some Landry boys and I sell hard for Graham Landry. He is serious, all business and a tad anal obsessed and when he hires Mallory as his new administrative assistant everything he knows starts to change. She challenges him and what he thinks he wants. I love how strong she was and wasn’t afraid to hold her ground.

The boss and employee troupe is one that has grown on me over the years and Switch hits the nail on the mark. It had me both laughing and getting all kinds of hot and bothered all while maintaining a strong storyline. I love Adriana’s style of writing and now I am excited to see what she will bring us with Ford’s book!

Easy by Jordan S. Gray Review

Synopsis

It’s been an entire month since Shayler Thompson has orgasmed from something not made out of silicone. If her sour mood is any indication, she needs to get laid like yesterday. So when she walks up to a sexy nerd at the bar and propositions him, it seems like a great idea. Until he rejects her and calls her easy.

Still reeling from his hurtful words, Shayler is surprised to find that the nerd, David, is a Teacher Assistant for the one college class she’s totally embarrassing herself in. When he offers to help her study, she accepts, thinking that maybe she’ll get laid after all. But David isn’t into casual sex, and Shayler refuses any sort of commitment. With enough chemistry to light his dumb Prius on fire, she’s sure one of them will eventually give in… She just really hopes it won’t be her.

 

REVIEW

Shayler is going through a dry spell and isn’t happy about it…she needs a hot, steamy night to get her back on track. When she sees the geeky but hot guy sitting at the bar she thinks her problems are solved and she will be back to ways soon enough. But that hot nerd is David, and David isn’t interested in one night stands or easy propositions, which he tells Shayler. After being hurt by his words, she is mortified to discover he is a teaching assistant. But will his offer to help her study solve her problem of getting him in bed? Or will David stay strong and try and persuaded Shayler that there is more to them than just one night. 

“His texts made her smile. His voice made her light-headed. His touch made her body ignite from the inside out. Obviously, that wasn’t normal and meant something, but she’d be damned if it meant she was in love.”

One of my favourite things of this book is Shayler. She is not your typical heroine. Instead she is cocky, confident, not afraid to admit she likes sex and isn’t shy about getting it. I loved that she wasn’t what we typically see in female leads who are sometimes embarrassed about sex or being sexy. It was refreshing to see a woman who owned it! David wasn’t your typical hero either. He was patient and quite reserved, he was the one trying to convince Shayler that they could be more than just one night. He still managed to be sexy and broody in a way that was very attractive and I really liked that he wanted Shayler enough to be patient and understanding with her. 

“Looking at him was too much in that moment. How had she gone so long without him? “I missed you so much,” she whispered.”

This was just a fun, easy (in the good way), enjoyable read. The dynamics between the characters was really enjoyable to read and they both seemed so real to me. It’s definitely a romance but also a story about finding out who you really are, what you really want and coming to terms with it. It wasn’t only Shayler’s relationship with David that we read about, but throughout the story Shayler’s friendships also come into it a lot and we see that maybe Shayler’s outlook on love is even affecting her friendships as well. 

“And what’s the problem with being easy, anyway?” Anger flooded her veins, allowing her the energy to sit up on her own. “So what if I like sex? News-*****-flash, it feels good. Anyone who’s had an actual orgasm knows that. So why am I being judged for it?”

Overall, this was just a fun read which was perfect for my long commute. It was funny, sweet, sad and sometimes even frustrating. It kept me entertained throughout and I have to say I think this is one of my favourite couples of 2017 so far!
