HACKING HIS CODE by Lark Anderson

ABOUT THE BOOK
 
I must confess.
I did something very naughty…
And I haven’t learned my lesson.
 
I was late on tuition…
In a mountain of debt…
And morally obligated to grant my mother’s dying wish to get my college degree.
 
Which is why I was on the seedy-underbelly of the internet, cruising for a hacking job.
 
I had no idea Hunter Davies, the elusive tech giant, was watching me, and when I passed his little impromptu pop-quiz, he sent armed men to bring me to his estate.
 
And let me tell you…he is a piece of work!
He’s disgustingly rich, with arrogance in spades.
He should be in jail for what he’s done to me!
But…he offered me a job. One that could make all my problems disappear. 
And as much as I hate to admit it…he’s flippin’ other-worldly levels of gorgeous!
 
Now, I have one week to solve a 24-year-old cold case, or else I go home empty-handed. Just one catch—I have to pretend to be his girlfriend in front of his parents, who are itching for grandkids…
 
I agree to his terms, and somehow, one thing leads to another…and I wake up in his bed.
 
This is not how the job was supposed to go. I hate men—they can’t be trusted!
But the more I learn about Hunter, the less my logic makes sense.
 
I’m supposed to be solving one of the greatest mysteries of our time, not falling in love!
 
And as I'm about to find out, if I don’t figure this all out soon, it could cost us everything…
 
Hacking His Code is a standalone romantic comedy that fits into the bigger Beguiling a Billionaire world! If you LOVE to laugh! If you CRAVE a sexy SIZZLE! And if you HATE cliffhangers—this book is for you!

I have never read this author before and this story was so awesome I need to go back and read this entire series. It also easily stands alone.

This is Ari's story. She is a broke college student with a sick mother and lots of hospital bills. She is also a former hacker and gets offered a lot of money in an online challenge and thats how she ends up meeting Hunter.

Hunter  works for his families tech company and is hot and rich and has two wonderful parents. But many years before his aunt Lucy went missing and so he wants Ari to find his aunt and solve the mystery of what happened to her.

To be honest I figured out the plot twist fairly easily but how it all came out I could not predict. I absolutely loved this story and could not put it down. We also meet the characters from previous books and I loved them so much that I need to read their stories as well.

This was a fantastic romance and I adored the mystery behind the story. I loved all the characters I met as well and plan to start this series from the beginning.

Miss Trust - Series: Miss #4 - by Aubrey Bondurant




ABOUT THE BOOK

Chance Maxwell is the most arrogant man I’ve ever known – and he’s my boss.

Worse, he’s incredibly sexy. At least until he opens his condescending mouth. I hate being indebted to him for this job, but I have more important priorities to worry about.

My attraction to him is growing despite my better judgment.
But I sure as hell won’t ever reveal it to him.

Tory Larson is the most stubborn woman I’ve ever met – and I’ve hired her as my new assistant.

She’s different from my usual women, and my plan to leave her alone is failing miserably.
Maybe the best way to rid her from my system is to address this inexplicable spark between us.
Only, I’m in over my head.

I’m a man who always gets what I want.
She may be the exception.

EXCERPT

“Why are you out here?”
“I’m restless and couldn’t sleep.”
Her voice was husky, laced with a touch of need. But even I wasn’t asshole enough to take advantage of it. “I’ll leave you be.”
She moved closer, putting her hand on my chest. My body shuddered. Shuddered like a prepubescent teenage boy who’d never felt a woman’s touch.
I wanted her, and yet my seldom-present conscience wouldn’t allow me to act on my attraction to her. Not while she was this vulnerable. Guess there was a first time for everything. “This isn’t a good idea.”
She didn’t pretend to misunderstand me. “No, it isn’t.”
I should have walked away. A better man would have. I leaned in, my lips inches from her ear. I could practically feel the buzz coming off of her. “I should leave, before we do something you’ll hate me for tomorrow.”
“What if I hate you now? Would another reason matter?”
My chuckle filled the air. “You wish you still hated me.”
“True. It was easier before you were thoughtful.”
I searched her face. “If I kiss you, will you kiss me back or bite off my tongue?”
She smirked. “Only one way to find out.”
I crashed my lips to hers, groaning like a man who’d been starved too long and was getting his first taste of the finest meal. Tory didn’t disappoint, meeting my needy kiss with one of her own.
Fuck. When was the last time I’d actually taken the time to kiss a woman? Slide my tongue inside of her mouth and taste her? The answer was as empty as my aptitude for giving a shit about most people.
I moved my hands down to her ass and lifted her up, practically weeping with pleasure at the way her legs wrapped so perfectly around my waist. My strides were long and purposeful, eating up the distance until we arrived at my pool house. Letting her down easy, I then pinned her against the door while I fumbled with the code to let us in.

 I have a new favorite in the series. I LOVED this book so much. It was beyond terrific. It easily stands alone though I would suggest you at least read the previous book in the series featuring Reid and  Teagan in Miss Belief so you understand all the characters connections and motivations.

This story is about Tori and Chance who we both meet in Miss Belief. They are each siblings to Reid and Teagan. In the previous book Reid was made unengaged when he found his fiancee with Chance, his brother and cheating with him. Teagan was crushing on Reid and worked with him but she was stripping in Dubai on the side because she needed money so Tori could take care of her sick daughter, Penny who has Cancer.When Chance almost destroys their relationship, the only way he can achieve forgiveness is if he gets Tori to accept a job with him so she can have medical insurance.

And so Chance flies to LA where Tori lives and has to convince her to work for him and move into his mansion and let him give her medical insurance so he can help her daughter beat Cancer. And so begins their story.

I loved that this story has no cheating and no evil exes that get in the way. Chance meets Tori and he cannot resist her and well she makes him chase her because she has trust issues. Yes the book is named perfectly.These two have a really messed up history but they are absolutely perfect together.

In this story we also meet some new misses that will have stories in the future and I cannot wait.

Behind the Lyrics by Melissa Riddell

Title: Behind the Lyrics
Author: Melissa Riddell
Genre: Enemies to Lovers/Rockstar Romance
Release Date: February 24, 2021


What happens when a Rock God falls for his enemy?

Angela Morales
I came to Mesa Palms for a fresh start after my divorce. Needing the serenity and calm of the desert, I spend my afternoons as a DJ rocking the city. It might not be the most glamorous job, but I love the no-frills life and answering only to my cat.

That is, until one day, England’s biggest God of Nu Rock walks in like he owns the place, and my boss forces me to interview the arrogant jerk on-air. The entire interview turns into a horrible disaster, but it gets even worse when Viktor sets his sights on me. He thinks he can seduce me with his bedroom eyes, but I’ve dealt with men like him before. I’ll chew him up and spit him out so hard he’ll land back in England, where he belongs.

Viktor Farrow
When I walked into the dumpy little radio station, I’ll admit I didn’t think much of it--until I saw the little angel sitting in front of the microphone with a snarky smile. Yeah, I've made some terrible mistakes in my past, but it’s been years and I’ve cleaned up my act. No drugs. No alcohol. No messing around.

Does Angela, the little demon sent to torture me, believe it? That’s a big, fat bloody no. But I have a plan—Operation Angel Seducer. Once it’s sprung, she’ll be putty in my quite capable hands. After all, no woman has ever resisted the lead singer of Angry Gods.

*Contains strong language and references to drug use and assault.

HOSTED BY:

This is the story about Angela Morales, a newly divorced DJ at a very small town radio station and rocker Viktor Farrow, who is now out of rehab and wanting to make a come back.

She hates him because her ex was an alcoholic and he has a very bad rep as a manwhore, alcoholic and druggie before things went sideways for him. He is upset that he got booked at this small radio station rather than a more popular one.

The interview was super fun, for me as a reader, for Viktor who was thinking he would compliments rather than insults and all the listeners. During the show he challenges her to join him on tour to see how awesome he is,

And when she refuses he cannot stop thinking about her and thats when the book gets super fun. I laughed at all their insults and snark and giggled at both of them. This was a really fun story and I really enjoyed it

This story also deals with some big issues like anxiety, rape and assault by her ex, drug addiction, alcoholism, suicide. Despite all that it was a fun story and I enjoyed it.

 This is part of a series but it stands alone. In it introduces two brand new characters, Dylan and his girl friend Hailey. Dylan is the new rookie to the team. Its very different from other books in the series as he is just 20 and she is 19. They have been dating for five years and have juggled schooling, college and now the pros while being in love and very committed.

The author did a great job telling their story which happens during Hailey's winter break and includes holiday celebrations with their families and into the summer. These two kids are pretty awesome and have some big decisions ahead of them when Dylan is brought to Indianapolis and Hailey is in college in California.

This story is about Dylan's first year with the  Indianapolis Lightning and how he juggles a long distance girlfriend, love, hockey. family and friendships. It also shows us Hailey's life as a college coed and how she juggles life, school, boyfriend, and hockey.

Its a very light story but also very romantic and I highly enjoyed getting to know these characters and watching them interact with other characters from this series.

Interception by Eva Haining - Hall of Fames Series




Becoming a baby daddy wasn’t part of the plan…

Cooper ‘Coop’ Danford is an NFL Titan and hot commodity to his female fans. Not one to settle down, Coop enjoys the spoils of fame and fortune. It’s not until sassy, sexy, Zoey ‘Zee’ Porter literally shows up on his doorstep that he contemplates something more.

Zee is a woman who knows what she wants, and she’s not afraid to take it. Thrown into the deep-end with her best friend, Faith, Zee unwittingly finds herself in the home of NFL heartthrob—lucky number seven—Cooper Danford. He’s everything she likes in a one-night stand. He’s hot, ripped, and ready to show a girl a good time. After a sizzling weekend fling, Zee is keen to leave him behind and go about her life.

Coop has other plans.

Attempting to woo Zee, she keeps him at arm’s length, unwilling to let herself fall in love. When the fates collide and the not-so-couple couple find themselves expecting, they’re in for some sidesplitting adventures along the way.

What does love, lust, and family look like when these two find themselves in the endzone before Zee was ready to start the game?

INTERCEPTION is a witty, hilarious follow up to the 2020 hit rom-com, FUMBLE, but can be read as a standalone novel in the Hall of Fame series.







PROLOGUE

Zee

Nothing good can come from letting a guy ride you bareback.

Since the day I lost my virginity in the back of my high school boyfriend’s Camaro, I’ve had one rule:

If you’re not gloving it, I’m not loving it.

It’s a pretty simple rule, but you’d be surprised how many times I’ve broken it when faced with a raging lady boner, tequila, and a hot guy saying all the right things. I’ve been lucky.

But luck has a way of running out eventually…








I'm happiest when wandering through the uncharted territory of my imagination. You'll find me curled up with my laptop, browsing the books at the local library, or enjoying the smell of a new book, taking great delight in cracking the spine and writing in the margins!

Eva is a native Scot but lives in Texas with her husband, two kids, and a whizzy little fur baby with the most ridiculous ears. She first fell in love with British literature while majoring in Linguistics, 17th Century Poetry, and Shakespeare at University. She is an avid reader and lifelong notebook hoarder. In 2014, she finally put her extensive collection to good use and started writing her first novel. Now writing in three sub-genres of romance, Eva is currently working on some exciting new projects for 2021.



HOSTED BY:

 This is book 2 in the series. I started it but felt very lost so I read the first book before. While Coop and Zoey/Zee's relationship starts in this book, the events referred to in this book feature her best friend, Faith and Coop's best friend, Hunter happen in the first book and so you might want to read the first book, Fumble, before this one. Aside from that this book stands alone easily.

After having read both books. This one is my favorite. It stars Zee aka Zoey and Cooper aka Coop they are best friends to the couple in the first book and when their friends have an issue in their relationship, Zee and Faith end up on Coop's doorstep and thats when the fun begins.

Zee is a bit over the top and has some great zingers, she is spunky and a handful and Coop just tries to keep up with her. She is very casual in her relationships and in this story Coop is the one chasing her and trying to get her to see they can have more.

Coop is absolutely awesome. From the minute he meets Zee he is all in. But she has issues I guess you can say. Her parents were never there for her and so she doesn't see how Coop could really want her. I loved how hard he works to get her to give him a shot and he is why I loved this story so much.
