4 Smooches!

Synopsis

Sometimes love is right where you left it.

Sadie Hart has a plan: return to her small town of Hope Springs so she can regain her confidence—and bank account—before giving one more shot to her country music dream. The dream that means more to her than anything. The dream she chose over her high school sweetheart, the brooding and sinfully handsome Royce Dixon.

Royce has moved on from his memories of the beautiful Sadie. Now he’s focused solely on running Second Chance Ranch, where he rehabilitates troubled teens through ranch work. But when he needs a new employee and Sadie’s the only one to volunteer, he has no choice but to offer his old flame a job.

Whether riding a horse with the wind in her hair or mucking out the stalls, Sadie can still get Royce’s heart beating like no one else. But Nashville is her dream, and Royce can’t settle for second best.

Review

This book follows Sadie and Royce. Sadie is returning home with her tail between her legs after leaving to pursue a singing career 6 years ago that hasn’t planned out quite like she had hoped. While Royce never left as he helps on the family ranch. Royce is the boy left behind by Sadie so she could pursue her dreams.

Sadie needs a job and desperately and after exhausting all other places of business finds herself at the second chance ranch, that Royce’s family own. After Royce initially turning her down because he is still hurt over her leaving him and doesn’t want to let her get to close, he gives in when she connects with one of the children that comes to the ranch.

Sadie and Royce have a lot that they need to work through just to become friends again, so working together is hard, especially when they feelings that they use to share for each other haven’t left. We get to read about how they deal with seeing each other on a daily basis and in such close space. We get to read about the past pain that they both have and we get to see them finally accept what is there between them.

Working on a relationship between these two isn’t easy, they are trying to navigate what they want and what they feel. Royce isn’t sure that he can let himself get involved with Sadie again as she can’t promise that she will be around forever, after all coming home was only a stop gap for more money to fund her dreams. She can’t say that she will stay around forever and Royce won’t ever leave the family ranch.

Things seem to be going well for the couple, but a phone call from her agent and Royce’s inability to make himself vulnerable to Sadie again cause them problems before they have even really began again.

This book was a brilliant read about second chances, I loved the dynamic between Royce and Sadie and the secondary characters added different insights into each of the main characters. Well done Cindi Madsen on a brilliant read.

Review

 “You’re in for a bumpy ride my sexy baker, Feel free to scream as loud as you want.  It’ll only make me fuck you harder.”

Yupp…I enjoyed reading this book.  We definitely have a hawt, strong alpha male here.

This book is about Brynn Baron-Wilde who has been through a crappy marriage and is not looking for another man in her life.  She owns a bakery and just doesn’t want or need a man because in her mind, men were entirely too much trouble. 

That was until Jax Merrill walked in to Brynn’s bakery and into her life and shook her world up.  Jax is a former Army Medic and now he is a talented preservation and renovation specialist.

He’s a bit on the dented and dinged side after his military service and she’s dealing with a stealth attack from her grandmother who’s added manipulative clauses to her will that threaten Brynn’s hold on her house and business.

I will confess it did take me a little bit to really get going on the story.  Some parts of the book seemed a little wordy, like telling the story in her point of view, then his point of view and then maybe a third persons point of view.  After I got over that style of writing, I really enjoyed this story and Jax and Brynn’s story had its ups and downs, I suppose like all the romance books you read about. But it was a lot of fun with Jax going all alpha male on Brynn.  OMG I loved the scene where she is undressing in front of the window while she knows he is watching and he goes all crazy on her ass.. lol  I also liked Brynn’s sisters, they added some fun and sillyness to the book that made it fun to read.

Sometimes fate and destiny have a sense of humor along with some questionable timing. Are these two destined to be together or will her reluctance and his issues keep them apart? When a stunning turn of events complicates things even more, things sure do get interesting – meddling parents and all.

Make sure you add Wilde Forever to your to be read..You will really enjoy it 🙂

Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh stuns with a sizzling contemporary romance…

A bad boy wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…

Molly Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch that could become an addiction.

A one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…

Fox promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn’t only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…

Review

I have read a lot of Nalini’s Paranormal books and I really love them.  I also happened to really enjoy Rock Addiction. It was very different than what I am used to from her but it was still a really good story with extremely steamy sexy time through out.

OK, before I get started:  I LOVE THAT EFFING COVER!!!  LOVE IT!  IT IS SMOKING!

Fox is the drop dead sexy lead singer of a famous band and Molly is a curvy quiet librarian with a tragic past that has made her an introvert.  She also is absolutely terrified of the press and being in the spotlight.  Rock Addiction is the story of Fox and Molly overcoming their fears so that can be free to love one another.  These two characters were so incredibly different; Fox all hard and domineering to Molly’s soft and submissive.  I fell in love with them right away and of course, just like Molly, I simply could not get enough of Fox.  Whoo!  The man is hot!

Fox wasn’t a bad boy–he was the harder, more demanding, grown up version.

Fox is extremely dominant and sexy and THE LIP RING!  Mercy!  I really enjoyed watching Molly come into her own with him.  She really learned a lot from their relationship and it was interesting watching her change.  Not that she had much choice because Fox really wasn’t going to stand for less from her.

“I’m really not cut out to be a rock star’s g–”  “Lover”

“Since I can still feel you hot and wet around my cock, I disagree.”

This book also set up a lot of potential for other books.  The side stories from all the band mates, friends, and family really made for an interesting story and I have a feeling these books are just going to get better and better!

As usual, Nalini’s writing was magnificent.  I love all of descriptive and sexy wording.  Her writing makes me pay attention.  Sometimes I find that romance is often written so plainly that I find myself skimming and not enjoying all of the authors words.  This never happens when I read Nalini Singh.  Her words draw me in right away, keeping my attention the entirety of the book.

I really enjoyed this sexy new adult rocker book.  It is a great story and ridiculously sexy!

“Push down your panties, baby.”  Whiskey and sin and pure hard rock.

Reese Carroll and Dylan Sparks cordially invite you to read Sweet Possession.

Review

“Sweet Possession” is the follow up to “Sweet Addiction” and is a continuation of Reese and Dylan’s story. I loved the first book so I was super excited to read this one and  J. Daniels did not disappoint!
When we last left Reese and Dylan they had just been reunited after a lengthy and heartbreaking separation. Fast forward a few months and they are busy planning their wedding all the while juggling family, friends and work.  Just Like the first book these two have amazing chemistry and there is no shortage of hot and sexy scenes. These two can’t be in a room together very long without ripping each other’s clothes off! Also along for the ride in this follow up is Reese and Dylan’s posse of friends. I love this whole group and each member brings something great to the story. It’s not all fun times and steamy sex though, these two have more than their fair share of drama and obstacles on their path to wedded bliss!

This book was an absolute joy to read and I am definitely a big fan of J. Daniels work! I’m not sure if she is planning any more books in this series but I am personally requesting that Joey and Billy get their own book. I love those two!!!
