The imPERFECT Guy by Leddy Harper





 
Blurb

I never set out to be famous. It sort of fell into my lap. 
Just like Finn.

He was exactly what I needed in an assistant, and the exact opposite of everything I looked for in a guy, which made hiring him an easy decision. 

It was perfect. 
Then it wasn’t. 

One by one, I started to fall for all of Finn’s imperfections, leaving me to question...

Was I simply looking for all the wrong things in a man? Or was Finn perfect because he was imperfect?

This is part of a series but I have not read any of the other books in the series. It easily stands alone and I did not fall for the other characters. So while I really adored this book for me it was a standalone and I have no plans to read the other ones in the series.

This is the story about Mady. She is a very successful social media blogger and she has her sister as an assistant but she needs more and so she hires Finn Kelly to help her out. She originally thinks he is a she and so he has to convince her to hire him and then he works hard and becomes indispensible to her and then the romance hits!

This was very different in that Finn is a attractive but not HOT. He is flabby and doesn't have a million muscles but he is very smart and he is a hard worker and he has personality.

Maddy is hot in the blond, skinny cheerleader way and so Finn thinks she is too perfect for him and so he quietly lusts for her and doesn't think he has a chance at all. But inside Mady is not perfect either and so they really like each other.

However, Finn looks on the inside he needs to relies what a prize he is and Mady has to accept her inside imperfections. This was a fun story with a wonderful set of characters and a very important message about life, love and friendship. It was well written and I truly enjoyed every moment in this story.

This was an awesome story. Its a new generation River Edge novella and it takes us back to the authors River Edge series and we get to revisit with all our previous favorite characters. It easily stands alone but its a fun story for those that loved that series.

This is Brooklyn's story, she is the daughter of Avery and Maddox and she now is a police officer. There is a new cop in tow, Becker and he is assigned her to train him. And that's when attraction hits. Can they resist temptation? And what happens when they become neighbors?

I am not spoiling anything. But this was a really fun romance. I hope the author writes more in this series because its a huge favorite of mine and I loved seeing the older characters some 20 years later.

Side Effects by Dee Palmer



 



Blurb

The side effects of being a nurse and a single mom:
Over tired
Over stressed
Over worked
Over used battery operated boyfriend 
The side effects of working with the world’s hottest doctor:
Raised temperature
Raised blood pressure
Raised pulse
Dropped panties 
He’s my new boss,
My old boyfriend.
And the hottest man on the planet.
But he’s my ex for a reason.
A few of them actually. 
Lesson learned?
Apparently not,
As I gather what’s let of my dignity.
Along with my tattered panties. 
Resisting the good doctor’s charms is proving
to be tougher than raising a feisty five year old.
He’s so used to getting his way.
But when he threatens to take my daughter from me,
The gloves come off.
He may wear the white coat,
But I wear a single-mother frickin cape.

If you like doctor/nurse romance then this is a really good story. Its a stand alone romance that ends with a happy ever after. Its also written by Dee Palmer a brand new author for me so I didn't know what to expect.

The first part of the book we meet Dr Joel and he is a manslut though he and Nurse Regan are having sex in a closet but he is also having sex with a lot of other people in said closet and that kinda grossed me out. So this was not my favorite part of the story.

That said he and Regan were in love 6 years before this story starts and she dumped him when he took a job in New Zealand for 5 years. Now he is back at her hospital and he wants her back. This is mostly told in Regan's head and we don't hear from Joel until near the end.

A lot has changed in the last six years. Regan has a daughter and part of the story revolves around just whose daughter is she and I am not spoiling that. It also revolves around Joel wanting Regan to give him a shot again.

After he starts to work to that, he is pretty constant that he wants Regan and we don't see him having fun in the closet again. Which is when I started to root for him and really enjoy the story.

As a new author I really enjoyed this story. Though it was previously released with a different title, Bone.

Wall Street Titan - Alpha Zone #1- by Anna Zaires




 



Blurb

A billionaire who wants a perfect wife...

At thirty-five, Marcus Carelli has it all: wealth, power, and the kind of looks that leave women breathless. A self-made billionaire, he heads one of the largest hedge funds on Wall Street and can take down major corporations with a single word. The only thing he’s missing? A wife who’d be as big of an achievement as the billions in his bank account.

A cat lady who needs a date…

Twenty-six-year-old bookstore clerk Emma Walsh has it on good authority that she’s a cat lady. She doesn’t necessarily agree with that assessment, but it’s hard to argue with the facts. Raggedy clothes covered with cat hair? Check. Last professional haircut? Over a year ago. Oh, and three cats in a tiny Brooklyn studio? Yep, she’s got those.

And yes, fine, she hasn’t had a date since… well, she can’t recall. But that part is fixable. Isn’t that what the dating sites are for?

A case of mistaken identity…

One high-end matchmaker, one dating app, one mix-up that changes everything... Opposites may attract, but can this last?

This is the first book I have ever read by this author and it was really terrific. I thought it was a very original story and it was well written and the characters were really terrific. The only thing I did not like about it was it did not ended. It ends on a very mild cliff hanger and going in I had no idea. I try to avoid duets and serials and books that will end on a cliff hanger and had I known it I would never have read it or reviewed it. That said it was also awesome. So Now I have to wait until February 2020 to find out what happens next.
 
This story was a lot of fun. Its about two very opposite people. Marcus is a 35 year old  billionaire living in a Penthouse with a butler in Manhatten and who wants a trophy wife and he goes to a matchmaker to find him a wife. He loves his job and doesn't want anything to distract him from the job. He wants a polished wife who will be his partner and take care of his kids.
 
Emma is a 26 year old broke, going nowhere book store employee and book editor living in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn. She has two bestfriends and a great employer and three cats that give her love whenever she is home. But no man and so she lets herself use an app to find a date.
 
They meet for all of 5 minutes in a café when they think each other is the others blind date and Marcus falls into instalust with Emma. Nothing will ever be the same for either of them and that was the funnest part of the story. They have absolutely nothing in common but a lust for the other and so the fun begins.
 
This book was HOT, and slow burn and very original in that these two are so not what they think they want that they end up being adorable together. However Markus is about business 1st and romance 2nd where Emma wants to come 1st and so the story ends on a small cliff hanger.
 
 

Win Big by Kelly Jamieson

When your name is Wynn, victory’s the only option. . . . "Kelly Jamieson is an auto-buy for me.”—New York Times bestselling author Carly Phillips
Win Big by Kelly Jamieson is available now!


ABOUT THE STORY
 
Everly Wynn: As the only daughter in the Wynn family of hockey heroes, I never shared the ice with my brothers—or the approval they got from my father. And that was before the scandal that ruined my life at sixteen. Now that I’ve put all that behind me and built a successful career, the last thing I need is another hockey player in my life. Especially one like Wyatt Bell. He’s an arrogant, fast-living party boy. I hate how he gets by on his good looks and charm. So why can’t I get him out of my mind?

Wyatt Bell: Life is short, and you’ve got to live it to the fullest. I learned that the hard way. So on the ice, I always play to win, and on the town, fun and flirting are my game. Because it’s better to laugh your way through the pain than to let them see you’re hurting—but I’ll never stop wishing I could find someone to share the real me with. Something about Everly Wynn makes me think she could be the one. But all she sees is a hockey jock hooked on good times. If she didn’t take herself so seriously, maybe she would take a chance on being happy.

This is an awesome story between Everly Wynn and her hottie Wyatt, a player on her fathers hockey team.
 
Everly tends to go for older guys but she finds her very attracted to Wyatt and he to her. They go out to one dinner and end up in a relationship to help preserve his image and that's how they start spending time together and falling for each other.
 
But Everly has a messy past and Wyatt has some big commitments and so things get in the way for their future. This was a wonderful story with great characters and I loved this spry so much. We also get to see a lot of the Wynn family and characters from other stories in this series.
 
This is book 3 in the series and easily stands alone.

Sienna Hensley loves everything about the Christmas season, from hanging decorations to the cozy get-togethers with her family.  Despite being part of the well-known Bennett family, Sienna is determined to first gather experience before joining their business. Her job at Statham department store is perfect for that. But her new boss, Winston Statham, is going to be a slight problem. 
 
Winston is broody, domineering, and sexy as all get out. But mooning over the boss is out of the question, especially since she just went through a break-up. 

For Winston Statham, Christmas is just a reminder of the deadline looming ahead this year. Saving the store his parents build is his top priority. At least until he finds his branding manager singing and dancing to carols while hanging twinkling lights in his favorite meeting room. 

He can’t get the sexy sway of her hips out of his mind…or her determination to make him smile. Sienna is smart, hard-working, and her unrestrained honesty makes him instantly trust her with a secret project.  

But when he asks her to stay overtime, work isn’t the only thing on his mind. Before long, he’s willing to do anything for one more kiss, one more night together. Winston falls so hard for Sienna, that he can’t imagine ever letting her go. 

But with his future up in the air, can he promise her anything more than an unforgettable Christmas season?

In this story we go back to the Bennett family and I loved seeing them again and seeing them come together and support each other. This is Sienna's story, she is Victoria's younger sister and Victoria married Christopher Bennett. Sienna now is all grown up and is 25ish and works at a major chain store called Stratham's in Marketing.

The bosses son, is Winston and he comes back to United States to San Franscisco to try and revive the failing location. He and Sienna have the cutest relationship and I absolutely loved their every single scene. These two work hard and work very closely together as they try and save the San Franscisco location.

And meanwhile they form a flirtation and as they fall for each other I fell hard for these two characters. Throw in all the Bennett's around the Christmas holiday and this was a story I loved, every single page and every single chapter. This was a wonderful love at work romance and a perfect holiday romance for the Christmas season. Now we need Sienna's younger brother's story.

But in a cruel twist of fate, it’s the one woman he can’t have whose captivating smile makes him forget all about his past.

Before I begin I want to share that this book was hijacked by a supporting character, Mrs. Judi Coventry. She is absolutely my favorite character in this story and I hope to see her again in another story, she was my absolute favorite character in this entire series and she made this book.
 
This is primarily Sophia's story. Sophie is Maggie and Zane's long lost sister. She was thought dead and then discovered as alive in Maggie's book and she is very young, just 22 years old and she helped her brother Zane and his wife, Honor have a child in their story. Now we finally get her story.
 
A few books ago Nico Bentley came to town and he is best friends with Trey. He is 34 and  a very broken man, he has never felt love by his parents and his fiancée left him for her best friend another woman. He is sad, unloved and depressed and while he is best friends with Sophie he feels she will leave him behind as well especially because she is so young.
 
In this story we get to hear from Hugh as Sophia reads his diary and we see who he was and how much he loved his kids. We also get to see Nico's pain. Its a story about Instalove, friendship and the love of our parents. The author did a stunning job in showing how afraid of love Nico is.
 
To some degree Nico who I loved up to this book was a BIG coward. He had some awesome and brave moments so its hard to complain about that. But the biggest risk is love and at times he was very cowardly about it. Once he comes around, I wanted to see more of him and Sophia dating and their love story, and so I wish this book had been longer for that reason.
 
I also LOVED Jad. I loved how he helped Sophia make Nico jealous at times. He definitely deserves a story of his own.

This is a really fun romance that takes place during the holidays and the main character is from the last series - Venture Capitalists, Jim and puts him together with a brand new character, Kate and we also get a great cast of supporting characters from the last series the author wrote in the Venture Capitalist series.

This is a whole new series and it was pretty wonderful and perfect if you are looking for a holiday romance. There are no exes and no jealousy or cheating and its purely a story on finding that special someone during the holidays and giving back.

Kate runs a non profit where she works to keep kids in school and rewards them at Christmas with a shopping spree and an adult to go shopping with. It is her 2nd year running the program and her problem is that she is short volunteers and money for some 40 kids. She asks for help and that is how an email reaches Jim and he is very excited to help.

When the two meet, its instalust and so starts a wonderful story with some wonderful characters and we get to watch them fall in love. But there is also a bit of drama in the story and I am not spoiling that for you.

This is a standalone story that is well written and has characters you will grow to love. It revolves around Kate and Jim and their friends. Its a wonderful story I am sure I will re-read again because its really romantic.

“The way my body reacted to him was undeniable, but the way my heart reacted was unprecedented.”

Calculated, clear, and concise.
That is how I like my life.
As head of Armstrong Realty, I acquire, conquer, and secure deals in the boardroom—and bedroom.
No strings attached is how I like my relationships.

But then Jordan—Mr. Hollywood A-list actor—shows up.
He has more strings than the 1000 thread count sheets I sleep on.
We both have reasons we’re unwilling to open up again.
And I can’t live through another heartbreak.

So I make a decision—a one-and-done to get Jordan out of my system.
Casual. Hot. Naked. Simple.

But when the clothes come off, beds get broken.
And everything changes.
Because underneath that California tan and perfect six pack is a heart of gold, a heart I want, a heart I’m falling for…deep, fast, and completely.
And suddenly, all my rules become UNDONE.

Excerpt

“Hey, Christene. Wait up!” 
I stopped mid-step, and my heart stuttered.
That voice. I’d remember that voice anywhere. Thick. Deep. Sexy. 
It’d been months since I heard him or seen him in person. I’d viewed every movie he’d made, watched every YouTube video of his interviews, and listened in on my sister’s conversations with her boyfriend just to hear what was going on in his life. 
My pulse ticked up in tempo. Tick. Tick. Tick. Like a bass drumming on the inside of my wrists. 
I froze, took a deep breath, composed myself, and turned around ever so slowly to find Jordan Ryder—the highest-paid actor in show business, Hollywood’s hotshot, America’s it guy—staring right back at me. 
He was also Cade’s adopted brother. Yep. My sister’s boyfriend’s brother. 
He blew out a breath of smoke and then flicked his cigarette to the side. A sizzle of electric energy surged between us, just like that very first day I’d met him months ago.
I took a step forward, and as though the world had suddenly tilted on its axis, I lost my footing. In slow motion, as if I were in The Matrix, my legs gave out, and I saw the ground, the gum on the concrete, the cracks in the foundation. One knee hit the concrete before I felt a pair of strong hands reach out to steady me.
My hands fell to his hips, and I thanked the heavens above that I hadn’t totally wiped out. I thought I had been saved, saved by an angel. But just when I was about to pull myself up, my other knee gave out, and I face-planted. Not on the ground, but into his crotch.
Oh. My. God.
When I tried to push myself to a standing position, pain seared through my scalp. Because, like on an episode of America’s Funniest Home Videos, I realized my perfect curls were stuck on his belt buckle.
“One second,” Jordan said.
Is he laughing?
Shit. Shit. Shit. He is.

This is book 2 in a series and I have not read the first book at all. It easily stands alone but its also very different than what I expected to read.

In this story we meet Christene/Tene. Her sister is in love with Cade (book 1) and so he throws a party for a promotion she received and Tene is there to celebrate and its also where she meets Jordan who is Cade's foster brother. Jordan is a big Hollywood movie star and so the description of this story seemed to be about romance with a big movie star and the hassles and issues that occur because of that. That is not what this story is about at all.

Jordan many years before was in love with his soulmate, Candice. Candice was Cade's sister and she had a car accident that killed Jordan's father, his girlfriend and handicapped his mother. Cade warns Tene that Jordan is still in love with Candace and so he tries to get them to stay away from each other because he doesn't want her hurt.

Meanwhile Tene is now single after her ex dumped her for his one true love and now they are happily together. She wants a guy who will put her first and being how in love Jordan was with Candace, she worries that he will never love her like he did Candice.

The two have a little sex but Jordan really likes her and wants more but she also does not want to compete with a ghost and that really is what this book is about. It is told in Tene's voice the entire time and so we never hear from Jordan's voice. But its really about can Jordan move on from his first love? Meanwhile Jordan also has a stalker who likes to cause trouble.

This was a lot deeper than I expected and to same degree it had a lot of angyst to the story. I really enjoyed it even though it was different than I expected. It easily stands alone and has some great suspense as things heat up with the stalker.
