 In this story we meet the Black twins, Selma Black and Selja Black. They are sisters to Gareth Black who married December Mayson. 

We also meet Tay who went to high school with Selma and had a huge crush on her. He is two years younger than her and is big and buff and black and just out of the military. He is in town to help his mom out with his teenage sister, Kia and he dreams of settling down. When he sees Selma again well thats when the magic starts for him but he has to clue Selma in.

I loved the drama relating to his sister Kia and lets say how he handles it. It was fun, messy and a bit on the dangerous side but I loved that aspect of the story.

This is an awesome addition to the Until series and a wonderful second chance at love with a high school crush (his) and finding forever with a ex military man in a small town with lots of family and siblings and a big BOOM and some drama. 



Foes & Cons by Carrie Aarons



Foes & Cons by Carrie Aarons is now live!

ABOUT THE BOOK

Sawyer Roarke was my best friend.

Growing up, our families were inseparable. We spent summers vacationing at the beach. In the school yard, it was us against the world. Then puberty hit, and we skated the thin line of staying buddies, or becoming more.

Until I accidentally found the pros and cons list he made about whether or not to date me. And there were definitely more bullet points on the no side. Acting out of rage and hurt, I embarrassed him in the most public way possible. Now, we're enemies.

We've spent the last two years tearing each other to pieces. Everyone knows that Blair and Sawyer hate the ground the other walks on, and unfortunately, I got the unpopular end of the stick while he became Mr. Prom King.

Until senior year starts, and I'm tired of running scared. For the first time ever, I stand up to the golden boy with the whip-smart tongue. As the challenges and dares pick up speed, hearts start to fall and feelings get entangled. Despite my initial discovery, I wonder if being caught by each other wouldn't be so bad.

Except Sawyer has no idea what I found all those years ago. And if the truth comes out about why I pitted us against each other, not only will he add one more con to his list ... but he can add my broken heart as well.

 This book was absolutely terrific. I am an avid romance reader and I am in my 50's. This book was about a couple high school kids and I adored it. The only thing I hated is that I wanted more on Sawyer and Blair's college life. 

It is a story about two teens who grew up together because their dads were best friends and worked together. But their family life was very different. Blair's mom abandoned her in a very selfish way and its hurt Blair her entire life. Meanwhile Sawyer, grew up with two very loving parents who were always there for him. Blair and Sawyer were best friends but things go very wrong for them in middle school. Blair betrays Sawyer and he hurts her so badly that it causes her to destroy their relationship.

Meanwhile Sawyer has no clue why it happened and why Blair betrayed their friendship so badly but from that point on he made her life miserable. Now as a senior, Blair has grown into her beauty and she is so strong that he and his friends cannot hurt her anymore. Its their senior year and she has to survive that to go away to college and escape Sawyer and his friends.

Sawyer starts to ask the tough questions about what happened and he won't quit until he finds out why Blair hurt him so bad. He realises he doesn't want to hurt anymore but sometimes thats just not enough, as his bullying has gotten so bad that Blair has a tough time believing anything he says.

This was an angysty, hate to love and love to hate story. It was beautiful and so sweet and romantic and I absolutely loved every single minute, even when they torture each other.

Reckless by Adriana Locke


ABOUT THE BOOK

“How did you get in here?”

That’s not what you want to hear when you’re staring into the sea-green eyes of the hottest man you’ve ever seen. Yet I suppose it’s a fair question, considering I’m an uninvited stranger standing in Boone Mason’s kitchen.

If you think that’s bad—just wait. It gets worse.

This charming and wealthy playboy, who can’t pay his bills on time or find his way to the grocery store (but we all have flaws, right?), is sweet. Confident. Playful. He’s almost perfect. And, to make matters worse …

He’s smitten with me.

I know what you’re thinking. You’re rolling your eyes. You’re assuming this is some opposites attract situation—or that maybe we can be friends who turn into something more.

How can this be a bad thing?

Well, it’s simple. I’m not the kind of girl you fall in love with. Just to be sure, the universe reminds me of that in an unforgettable, in-your-face kind of way.

I might have broken into Boone’s house, but I won’t let him break my heart. I won’t break his either. There’s too much on the line to be that reckless.

This is book 3 in the series but it easily stands alone. In this book we get to see Boone Mason finally find someone who understands him, loves him as he is as a playful guy and not super serious like his brothers and who accepts him warts and all. 

The story starts off in such a fun way where Boone is told by his neighbors there is a woman climbing his house and going in through his window. And so he runs home to catch his woman burglar. The story starts off in this very fun way and carries through this story. 

It was loaded with laughter, romance, hot times and also some very serious moments. Boone finds, Jaxi the woman who is his total match and they are absolutely adorable together. We also get to see all the Mason men in this story and their partners. We even get some Hollis and Larissa time and mom Mason/Siggy.

This book centers on love of family and friends and what being a family really means. It was told wonderfully and its one of my most favorite books that the author has ever written. Boone is very different than his brothers. He is a happy, go lucky fellow that everyone loves and he works very differently from his brothers. I loved that the author made him so very different from the other Mason brothers.


THE SCREW BALL by Samantha Lind

ABOUT THE BOOK

Lucas


My dreams of making it to the big league had finally come true,

But one wild night in a strip club which was clearly a mistake

Landed me squarely on the team’s bad boy list. 

 

The PR manager is supposed to smooth it all over,

Too bad all I wanted was to get in trouble with her. 

 

I wasn’t really the playboy they thought I was, 

I just needed to find the right woman to set me straight. 

Now I just have to prove I’m not what she thought.

 

Carmen


I have the career I’ve always dreamed of,

Even if I have to deal with players who can’t seem to keep out of the news. 

What’s more infuriating is the one player I want to hate the most I can’t stop thinking about. 

The one whose voice makes me want to drop my panties at his feet. 

 

I know all about his playboy ways, 

But I also know the press can spin things to fit their narrative. 

 

Is he really as innocent as he claims to be? Or will he throw a screw ball I never saw coming?

I love the Indianapolis Lightning series by Samantha Lind and and this is the third story in this series. I found it hot, romantic and fun. It features a romance at work between a VERY bad boy and his publicist who very much a very good girl. Can Carmen tame Lucas well you will have to read this story to find out.

Some books have bad boys but Lucas is absolutely awful, He goes to strip clubs, has sex with strippers and he treats them very well but he throws money at them a lot. 

And Carmen has the job of trying to get him to take his life and job seriously and be a respectable member of his new team. To be honest I was not a fan of him at the start at the story.

But something changes with him and he really turns his life around as he starts to see how wonderful Carmen is. As he starts to fall for her, I started to love him and I adored him and Carmen together.

If you love reformed bad boy stories or love stories where they start out hating each other and romance at work stories, then you will adore this story about Carmen and Lucas.

This is book 2 in the series and I am absolutely loving the guys, the gals and this series. This book also can stand alone but the first book introduces the characters and is very awesome so I highly suggest reading it.

In this book we get to know Reagan and the guy she has crushed on for YEARS, Adam. Adam is a hockey player that likes to date and commit but then dump them and become friends and then find a new girl to date and so on and so on. Reagan is his next door neighbor and they are friends but they have never dated.

But Reagan has a major crush and she decides to let Adam know and I loved what she did with Adam's sister Ginny to tell him. But before she can share that with him she decides she is not ready and so she still has to tell him. 

Meanwhile Adam is planning on becoming a doctor and going to medical school but he starts to realise he has a problem with women so he is trying to stay single.

But he is up for a scholarship for med school and so he needs a date and thats when Reagan and Adam decide to fake date and maybe even fake an engagement. It was so much fun watching these two fake it for the scholarship.

This was a really fun story and so romantic as Adam starts to wake up and realise what a wonderful woman Reagan is. I loved that we also get to see the day from four years before that Adam and Reagan actually meet.

If you like romances in college and second chance stories and friends who find  love then this is an absolutely wonderful story.

Excerpt

I stop in mid-word, seeing a sight from heaven. She’s standing near the elevator, suitcases surrounding her, along with a huge case that looks almost as tall as she is. Her lips are beguiling, and her light brown eyes stand out against her olive skin. Long brown hair hooks over her breast like a comma taking a breath before continuing the sentence. I struggle to not let my eyes trail down the rest of her. I know I wouldn’t be disappointed, further proof that the last thing I needed to do was get married this weekend. I never cheated on Tiffany. Never even flirted with another girl while we were together, but damn if I don’t want to get to know this beautiful woman the second I’m free. 

I’m simultaneously ashamed of myself and dancing on the inside. 

Gus looks at me and smirks. We stand at the same height and his blue eyes are filled with mischief. He’s always been able to see right through me. He points behind him, already backing up. “I’ll run get us some coffee. Meet you in a few.”He hands me the key and I turn to the girl. 

“Need some help?” I ask. 

“I’ve got it.” She eyes my duffel bag. “Looks like you’ve got your hands full anyway.”

“That’s what he sai—” I stop when her eyes cut to mine. It’s obvious she is not in the mood for humor. “This? Nah.” The elevator dings and I hold it open for her. “At least let me help you get this inside.”

She nods and I move the suitcases in the elevator before she can change her mind. 

“Thank you,” she says softly.   

The door closes and we’re squeezed together. The space is tight as it’s a typical New York elevator. I can tell she’s uncomfortable. I am too for many reasons, but she’s the best kind of distraction. Her eyes skirt over everything but me. 

I hold out my hand, barely able to get it fully extended between the two of us. “Jesse Taylor.”

“Mya Whitfield.” Her long eyelashes cast a shadow against her cheek as she looks down and then takes my hand in hers. 

I feel the heat down to my bones and she must too because she pulls her hand away as if it’s on fire. It’s hard not to stare at her. 

I should listen to my gut from here on out. Starting with asking for her number.   

Scratch that.   

Too soon.   

Big mistake. 

What the hell am I thinking? 

I don’t ask for her number. We ride the rest of the way in silence and when we reach the eighth floor and the door opens, she starts pulling her things out. I pick up two suitcases and she points to the floor.   

“Just set them right there, I can get it the rest of the way.”

“I don’t mind—”

“No, I appreciate it, but I’ve got it from here.” Damn, she’s gorgeous. She gives me a fleeting glance and the tiniest smile, but my heart speeds up like she’s just granted me blowjobs for life. 

It’s official. 

I am a sick bastard. 

I try for a kind smile instead of the pervy one I’m feeling and watch her walk away. I take in the view.   

Sweet Jesus. 

The brothers are waiting for me inside my apartment on the floor below and I put Mya out of my mind. I don’t need to jump into anything new right now; besides, Mya looks like a forever kind of girl and I’ve just bailed on forever.

 This is the start of a brand new series and I absolutely adored it. Willow Aster is a brand new author for me and I have loved every Laura Pavlov book I had read before. This is a story between two people who are neighbors and who eventually find a friendship that leads to more. But there is a big secret in the way of them finding happily ever after.

This story centers on the GD Taylor family. This includes Jesse, Spence, Caden, and Gus, and their sister Pen. This is the youngest brother, Jesse's story but it was also an awesome story where we meet the entire family and they are such a wild and fun family.

We meet Jesse on the worst day of his life, he is about to get married but he plays runaway bride in reverse and he runs away from Chicago to NY which is where his brothers live and work with their construction company. 

He meets his new neighbor, Mya and he is very interested even though he is very gun shy. Mya is also just out of a bad relationship so her and Jesse are on the same page. Which is why they end up becoming besties as they hang out and get to know each other. 

To some degree both Mya and Jesse have to learn to trust each other with their hearts. This story is about family and about love and trust and learning to move on and leaving the past in the past.

The authors did a wonderful job getting to the heart of each character and I adored the supporting characters in this story like Emma and Aidan. This story had many adorable moments and I couldn't help laughing at some of the brothers antics.

WRIGHT WITH BENEFITS by K.A. Linde

A feisty stand alone friends with benefits romance from USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde. With new characters set in the bestselling world of the Wrights, this is a perfect jumping on point for new readers!

I shouldn’t have hooked up with my one night stand... again.

To be fair, I was having the worst day of my life. I was sure that nothing else could go wrong.

Then in walks Jordan Wright.

We have a heated history, and I’ve been avoiding him. Not least of all because he’s a hundred percent my type with those big brown eyes, a ripped body, and his blisteringly broody charm. I said I’d never go near him again.

But he’s there for me when I need him. And well, old habits die hard.

Only problem?

I’m leaving in a matter of months, and nothing is going to change my mind.

Maybe in the meantime, I can still have my Wright...with benefits.

This book was absolutely fantastic. I just wished that it was longer. I really wanted to see their future but I guess we will see that in future books.

This is Jordan Wrights book. Three years before he made a huge mistake with someone he met at a party in Texas, Annie when he had a one night stand with her. 

You can read about the one night stand in the prequel to this book in  ONE WRIGHT STAND but some things happen after the one night that is not included in that book and will be shared in this book.

At the time he was living in Vancouver so they thought it would be only one night but he ended up moving to Annie's town and he did something horrible to her and so she has hated him for over three years. The problem is that they live in a small town and share many friends and aquaintances so they run into each other a lot,
Annie is in medical school and she is celebrating being a teacher when Jordan helps her out in a big way which opens up communication between these two enemies.

But Annie has a residency to work and she plans to leave her town and discover the world and so anything that happens with them is very temporary.

Buy Jordan has waited 3 years and so he grabs his chance with Annie and well thats when this book gets interesting. 

The author did an amazing job telling this story. I loved how she set it up in 5 parts. The entire book is 40 chapters and an epilogue but each section is about 8 chapters. It was a wonderful way to tell this story and I loved this book so much.

And Jordan and Annie are amazing couple who are really awesome characters. They both really like and lust for each other but they also are very sure what they want and thats each other. At times I felt Jordan really needed help learning to communicate better. 

I absolutely adored this book so much. It was fun and had some humor and I loved the close friends and family aspect of the story. Its also a stand alone book as I have only read two of the Wright Brother's books.
