REVIEW:

When I was given the opportunity to review this book, I was not sure what to expect.  The synopsis had me intrigued and left me wanting to know more about Audra and Jake.  The last thing I was expecting was the ugly cry I did several times while reading it.  This book seriously pulled at my heart strings.  It was such a heartbreaking and beautiful love story wrapped up in one delicious package.

Audra is such a strong girl who has faced far more than her share of heartbreak.  When she decides to re-create the done-it list of the person who saved her life, the last thing she expected was to find love.  But that is exactly what she found in Jake.  He made her want more in her life than she could have ever expected; however, Jake isn't sure they should be together.

Jake has not had the best life, so when the ray of sunshine named Audra comes into his life, he isn't sure what to do.  He has kept himself closed off for so long that he is not sure how to open up to anyone, even if that is exactly what he wants to do.

This story is nothing like I expected and everything like I had hoped it would be.  Audra was such a wonderful character that you couldn't help but get pulled into her life.  My heart hurt for her in so many ways.  The author did a wonderful job making you invest in Audra's story and wanting to know what happens next.  If you are in the market for a good ugly cry, I highly recommend this book.  I promise you will not be disappointed.

Cover Reveal of HEAT (Montgomery Men Book Two) by C.A. Harms

Title: Heat
Series: Montgomery Men #2
Author: C.A. Harms
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 10, 2017 Kindle Unlimited

Beckett Montgomery is a well-known detective in the New York area. He takes his job seriously and has little time for anything else.
During an investigation in to a series of break-ins of an apartment building on 32nd St., he finds himself getting a little too involved. What had always in the past been his job, now felt as if it was so much more.
He can’t seem to let go of the image of the beautiful, scared blonder face. He found that protecting her became all he could think of. Whatever it took, not matter the cost, he would provide her the security she needed. 
He assured himself he would remain professional, he would dedicate himself fully to the task at hand and never would he mix business with pleasure.
Yet with each passing second Beckett spent in the presence of Shanelle Kramer, he found that the need for her only grew. Her beauty alone made him weak in the knees and that was only the beginning.
He had never desired a woman more.
Never felt the need to conquer, or claim, but she was different.
Maybe just one taste would end his addiction for Shanelle?
But one taste was just a tease….
And he needed more, so much more.
A little about me. Let’s see where to start.
I love HEA stories, as long as they come packing a little heat. I need some excitement, some angst, and moments that make me fan my face are always good too. I am an Illinois girl, born and raised. Simple and true, it honestly doesn’t take much to make me happy. I love the little things; they truly mean the most. I may have a slight addiction to my new Keurig—oh my, that thing is a godsend. And so fast too. I have two children who truly are my very best friends, and their faces never fail to put a smile on my face. I have been married to my husband for sixteen years, and even though at times I want to beat him with a stick, I would never change the years we have had. We have learned and fallen, only to pick each other up, dust off the ache, and help each other make it right.
I am one of those authors that adore my fans. I love to hear from you. After all, it is because of each one of you that I continue to write. I look forward to your feedback.

Smith Hamilton has it all—he's smart, good-looking and loaded. But he remembers a time when he had nothing and no one, so he's not about to mess up, especially with his best friend’s little sister. That means keeping Evie at arm's length … even though the once pesky little girl is now a buxom bombshell. A sexy blonde who pushes his self-control to the limit the night she crawls into bed with him. Evie Reed knows she's blessed—with an exclusive education, a family who loves her, and a new job managing social media for her family's lingerie company. But she wants more, like a reason to wear the sexy lingerie herself. She has just the man in mind to help with that. She's crushed on Smith forever. Surely tricking her way into his bed will force him to see her in a new, adult way. Except that when Evie's plan leads to disaster, she and Smith must decide—ignore the attraction sizzling between them, or become play mates and risk it all.

Review of WHAT I NEED by J. Daniels

  win banner 4  

  WIN

From New York Times bestselling author, J. Daniels, comes a sexy new STANDALONE novel. 

 Riley Tennyson has made a huge mistake. 

At least, that’s what she keeps telling herself. 

Showing up to her brother’s wedding pissed off and newly single, Riley seeks comfort in solitude and an open bar, until the gorgeous and irresistibly charming CJ Tully makes her a better offer―a wild night with the master of smooth-talking where nothing is off limits. 

Riley does what any single woman would do, and a connection is made. One neither one of them can ignore. But when she comes home to the boyfriend she no longer thought she had, Riley buries her secret and begs CJ to do the same. 

Forget about each other. It was a mistake. That’s all it was… right? 

Desires are hidden. Distance is kept. Until one night CJ makes the ultimate sacrifice, and Riley can no longer avoid the man she can’t stop thinking about. 

Not with him sleeping down the hall…

REVIEW

What is it about those Bama Boys that I can't get enough of?  Seriously, I don't think there is a single one of them that I wouldn't like to claim as my own.  And now we have Tully.  A hot, muscled, alpha man with a heart the size of Texas. 

Riley has not had good luck in the relationship department. Having had an argument with her boyfriend before she left for her brother's, the last thing she expects is for her life to change. However, that is exactly what happens when she meets the handsome Tully.

Tully had never met Riley before the wedding and is completely thrown by the beauty that appears before him. While he knows he should keep his hands (as well as other things) away from Riley, he finds it impossible to do so. She calls to him on a level so deep, he never wants to let go. 

I love this series and this story does not disappoint. Riley and Tully are absolutely perfect for each other. Their story is not cut and dry and we don't get their HEA as soon as the weekend ends. We get to go on their journey of getting to know each other deeply and watching them become the best of friends. 

I honestly can't say enough wonderful things about this read. The hype leading up to its release is 100% worth it. This read sucked me in and kept me there until the last page. J. Daniels has outdid herself and I can't wait to read whatever she has in store for us next!
