5 Smooches!
Synopsis
When Taylor was four years old, she became an orphan and her childhood spiraled into darkness. She spent years lying, hiding, and avoiding any love offered to her until she was old enough to run away from all the threats of her past.
Now twenty-two, Taylor doesn’t think she’s worth more than being the kind of girl a guy hooks up with in the back room of a bar after her band plays. She definitely isn’t the one you bring home to meet Mom and Dad.
An unlikely rescue puts her in Ethan’s sight. He’s her total opposite, though. Ethan is a sexy dork who sees beyond Taylor’s guarded exterior. He sees past the tattoos and piercings. He sees her.
But they both have secrets capable of destroying their relationship. And if Taylor’s past ever catches up with her, the consequences could be deadly.
Due to explicit language, sexual content, and dark themes, reader discretion is advised.
Review
Taylor is running away from something in her past but she’s finally settled down somewhere she actually likes. She has friends, is in a band and then Ethan comes along and she has the job as well. But Ethan isn’t just someone who got her a job, he’s someone Taylor could really fall for. But will she risk not only his life but her friends as well, by becoming too attached?
What a thrilling, exciting and unexpected roller coaster of a book that has been one of my favourite reads this year! We have so many twists, so many brilliant characters, romance and drama, with a thrilling plot line that seriously will keep you guessing the whole way through.
“I wasn’t the kind of girl who guys fell in love with. I was the one they fucked in the back room at a bar, or called in the middle of the night when they were drunk and horny. Nothing more. I just had to deal with it.”
Taylor was an amazing character. Her strength, courage and selflessness are so easily admirable. The way she continues to laugh about life and care for her friends means you not only want her to be happy but you wish you could be friends with as well.
“He was eye fucking me. I did it sometimes when I was on stage as an I see you and only you right now kind of thing. But this was more than that. He wasn’t just looking; he was penetrating. There was an energy pouring from him and flowing into my soul, pumping into my heart.”
Ethan was one of my favourite book boyfriends ever!! He is so sexy but cute. I loved his shyness and how he still made it sexy and mysterious. He was still protective and strong at the same time as well which all added up to the one of the best book boyfriends I have ever read about.
“He laced our fingers together as his lips brushed against mine, soft and gentle. No tongue or anything. The kiss was pure Ethan—a little shy and a fuckload sexy.”
The plot was absolutely fascinating. Completely unexpected, you have no idea where it’s going, whether you are reading a romance, a suspense, a thriller; it really keeps you guessing. I laughed, I cried, I was kept on the edge of my seat gasping and yelling at my kindle; never knowing which way the story was going to go.
“All of these years, I felt so cheap because I was never more than someone to fuck, and the very second someone made me feel like I was worth something, I had to fucking blow it. That was me. Ruining everything. On purpose or not, it didn’t matter.”
A really fantastic read that I couldn’t put down and would recommend to readers of nearly all genres. Pick this one up today and I promise you won’t regret it.
“I love you. I love you for showing me how beautiful the world is, for letting me in and showing me how beautiful you are, for making me feel like I am special because of the way you look at me.”
Get ready for one hell of a ride!

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Review
“He was sweet, funny, and damn it, he liked Star Wars. He was almost my type, except for the fact that he was about to be standing in a scrap of underwear, rubbed down in oil in front of Zia and Meryl. He was a model, and that meant off limits.”
Newly Exposed by Meghan Quinn is a flirty, fun and geeky read that is a good way to pass a lazy day. Lighthearted and low angst following Solo, a PR specialist at a modeling agency and Adam the Nebraskan raised new model who has his eyes set on Solo. Adam is beyond sweet and patient with Solo and works hard to become her friend before pursuing more. Nerdy and Funny these characters were right up my alley!
“You can speak geek to me any day, muffin.”
Solo’s reluctance to give him a chance had me gritting my teeth and rejoicing when the moment finally arrived. I loved Solo’s dad’s and Adam’s beyond sweet mom and the entire cast of characters that lived in the model house. It is clear that the author took an artistic license to the model world so when dive into the book don’t take it too seriously and instead sit back and enjoy the ridiculous and sweet ride!
While I enjoyed the story there were parts of dialogue that felt forced for me and made me cringe, mainly when any “older” character talked, such as her dads.
“Watch that tone, young lady. I’m not opposed to spanking you, although, is that something she enjoys now, Adam?”
or his mom
“Don’t worry, honey, we’re not old biddies; we know you youngins have overactive libidos,”
By my calculations his mother would be in her 40s or early 50s and this sounded too old for me. Probably done in jest and meant to be funny it just stood out to me as a tad odd and was worth mentioning. It didn’t happen often and was not a make or break point for me.
“God, I so want to cuddle the fuck out of you right now.”
Overall, I enjoyed the book but I will say that it felt a tad too long for the story. Still a good read that was easy to get through and had plenty of moments that had me snickering and giggling. I loved Adam and Solo while frustrating at times warmed my heart too. I am looking forward to hearing the stories of the other men in house and finding out what secrets they are hiding behind their man-whorish ways!

Show Me How by Anna Brooks Review
4 Smooches!
Synopsis
One choice can ruin everything…
When a stop at a shady motel puts Brandon Parker face to face with his best friend, Mary, for the first time in over a decade, he almost didn’t believe it.
He’d never stopped searching for her, but even a career in law enforcement couldn’t help him find a woman who wanted to stay invisible.
When Mary Benson ran away at eighteen, she did it with good reason. A man was in the hospital because of her, and the people she loved were in danger. She had to leave to keep them safe.
Mary’s guilt was her consolation. She’d lived with her decisions and accepted the hand dealt to her. But Brandon was about to shuffle the deck in a way she never expected.
One thing was for sure, he thought she’d be happy to see him… and he’d never been more wrong about anything in his life.
Review
This is one book that managed to surprise me right from the very beginning. Just as I had it all figured out in my head and had it written off as another highly predictable second chance romance novel Anna Brooks made me hang my head in shame. Mary is living the life of a terribly neglected girl, unwanted and considered a cumbersome nuisance by her continually intoxicated parents, her home life has become an unstable and unsafe one at the tender age of seventeen but through it all she has her best friend Brandon and his wonderfully caring family. Just as these two realise how deep their feelings for each other run Mary’s life is threw into utter chaos and turmoil, resulting in her young life altering in a drastic way that causes Mary and Brandon to be separated from each other for years.
‘“And about one year after that first kiss, I had plans. So many fucking plans. I knew it would be hard. I was gonna go to college, but with the knowledge you were mine. And I was yours. We’d visit each other as much as we could. I was finally going to have you. The things I was going to say to you were fucking carved into my mind. I rehearsed them. Literally said the words out loud.”’
Anna has a great balance of innocence and sweetness in her writing as she portrays the complicated and unfurling relationship between young Mary and Brandon but at the same time showing you how ugly things can be behind closed doors and away from the concerned eyes of those that love you. The tension and uncertainty in Mary’s situation spins out of control when she makes what she thinks is a sacrifice to keep those she loves safe and out of danger. The entire first part of the book is filled with suspense and heartache and doubt and is so well written that you can’t help but feel for all concerned. It’s only when we get to the years later part that the book wavered from its solid foundation a little. There were some things I found a little difficult to comprehend (I won’t state what as it would be a pretty big spoiler) and it just seemed a little far fetched. The other thing that annoyed me to no end was Brandon’s immediate possessiveness towards Mary after the first day of seeing her again but the one thing that saved that situation was Mary had a back bone and wasn’t afraid to tell Brandon exactly where to stick his attitude. After the initial meeting however the story picked back up with a more mature love story taking us on a ride of hot sex, messy emotions, learning to forgive and forget and a brand new danger lurking in the shadows.
It was a very clever book and nicely written with a lot of engaging characters, not just the hero and heroine, but the supporting characters too. I sincerely hope that Anna is going to give us the details regarding Travis and Charlotte’s complicated relationship and hopefully Kelsey gets her own happily ever after as well.

Before We Were Strangers by Renee Carlino Release Blitz and Giveaway
From the USA TODAY bestselling author of Sweet Thing and Nowhere But Here comes a love story about a Craigslist “missed connection” post that gives two people a second chance at love fifteen years after they were separated in New York City.
We met fifteen years ago, almost to the day, when I moved my stuff into the NYU dorm room next to yours at Senior House.
You called us fast friends. I like to think it was more.
We lived on nothing but the excitement of finding ourselves through music (you were obsessed with Jeff Buckley), photography (I couldn’t stop taking pictures of you), hanging out in Washington Square Park, and all the weird things we did to make money. I learned more about myself that year than any other.
Yet, somehow, it all fell apart. We lost touch the summer after graduation when I went to South America to work for National Geographic. When I came back, you were gone. A part of me still wonders if I pushed you too hard after the wedding…
I didn’t see you again until a month ago. It was a Wednesday. You were rocking back on your heels, balancing on that thick yellow line that runs along the subway platform, waiting for the F train. I didn’t know it was you until it was too late, and then you were gone. Again. You said my name; I saw it on your lips. I tried to will the train to stop, just so I could say hello.
After seeing you, all of the youthful feelings and memories came flooding back to me, and now I’ve spent the better part of a month wondering what your life is like. I might be totally out of my mind, but would you like to get a drink with me and catch up on the last decade and a half?

Heart Breaker by Cole Saint Jaimes Review
4.5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Aidan
Surf.
Fuck.
Get high.
Sounds like the perfect day to Aidan Callahan. As second-born son to Chicago’s most influential business owner, Aidan’s life has always been about responsibility. Tradition. Toeing the goddamn line. Just do as you’re told, Aidan. Don’t make waves.
Well, screw that. Riding waves is way more fun than making them.
Hawaii is paradise on earth. Smoking hot women. Tiny bikinis. As far as Aidan’s concerned, wild horses couldn’t drag him kicking and screaming back to the windy city. Or at least that’s what he thought.
When his brother crashes his Mercedes, killing himself on impact, Aidan finds himself next in line to the Callahan fortune and all the ties that come with it.
And this time there’s no getting out of it.
Essie
A warm bed.
A steady job.
A brother who loves her.
For Essie Gray, life’s been one hard kick in the teeth after another. With her parents both dead, her brother is her only living relative. That is until Vaughn’s truck is written off, his life snatched away by the careless actions of a rich playboy in a flashy sports car.
Now, the only thing that will bring Essie peace is revenge. She must take what was taken from her. Only when the name Callahan has been wiped from the face of the earth forever will she be able to start living again.
Of course, the new head of the Callahan Corporation isn’t what she expected. Aidan’s sexy and sad, and just as damaged as she is. Will she be able to distance herself enough to accomplish her goal?
After all, ruining a man’s really hard when you find yourself falling for him…
Review
Oh, I love when a new writer comes on the scene and I take the book blindly trying to help out and I end up really enjoying it. This is Cole Saint Jaimes debut novel and I am truly shocked at how much I enjoyed this first novel from him. The writing is good for a debut work but the story is tons better.
‘Hatred is a curious thing. It feeds you, threatens to completely overwhelm you, yet at the same time, it leaves you feeling hollow.’
I admit from the teasers and the fact that a male author is writing in the romance genre, I thought it would mostly be a sexual read, but this book is pretty thick with plot and story. So, the beginning started out a little slow for me and I had concerns that I was not being hooked fast enough. Heart Breaker is on the short side and I felt time rearing it’s ugly head. In my mind, nothing was really happening yet, Essie and Aidan haven’t even met and I was over a quarter done with the book. Where is this going, I kept thinking to myself. Turns out I had no need to worry, because Cole was really laying the foundation blocks of this story and a big part of that is Essie and Aidan before the ‘big accident’. In fact, getting to know Essie and Aidan before the accident is super important because these two become changed so gravely as a side effect of it. And that, my friends is where the real story comes to life. Post accident where revenge is the main goal of one character and absolution for the other. So, if the story starts off a bit slow for you, keep going. “IT” is going to happen. The story is going to get good and hook you. I was hooked from about halfway through and couldn’t stop. I enjoyed the dual POV writing style and the sex scenes were pretty hot with a good dose of dirty talk. Ill definitely be checking out some more of Cole’s books in the future, especially the conclusion of this story since it does happen to end on quite a big cliff hanger!
‘It won’t just be his end.
It will be mine, too.’
