It's Complicated by Missy Johnson






About the Book

They call him the Anaconda, and I'm pretty sure it isn’t because he likes snakes.

Nick Jenson is my neighbor. My hot, oh-so-sexy, very-well-equipped neighbor that I’d spend hours watching from the safety of my bedroom window.

I saw lots of things I probably shouldn’t have. Sometimes I’d touch myself, imagining it were his hands roaming over my body instead of my own. I had just one mission—to find out if the rumors were true.

Then one day, he caught me watching him.

I was mortified. I was prepared to quit college, move to another country, and live the rest of my life saying, “Nick who?” But, apparently, life had other ideas.

Because Nick? Well, he isn’t just my neighbor … He’s also my father’s best friend. If I thought things were difficult before, they were about to get a whole lot more complicated.

Oh, and those rumors? Holy fuck, are they true …

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Nick is the single dad and partner with Anna's dad. Anna is his neighbor and college student. The story opens up in the college where Anna listens in as some librarians discuss Nick's size and how a former date ended up in the hospital because he was so large.

After that we meet Nick in person as he runs into Anna outside his house. Anna is a BIG klutz and her and her friend spy on Nick to find out if the rumors are true and those scenes kept me in stitches. Nick is a struggling single dad with two kids who are super cute and who Anna's dad asks her to help out and babysit and that is how Anna and Nick start spending more time together and their feelings grow.

The BIG issue is that Anna's dad works and is neighbors with Nick and well no one expects him to take the news of Anna and Nick easily. I don't want to spoil too much but fireworks do explode when he finds out.

Nick and Anna are so cute together and this book was HOT but also a lot of fun and I LOVED both Anna and Nick and felt they were well suited to the other despite the age difference. There were as many laughs as hot scenes and also some fun fireworks along the way.


Excerpt

I throw the rest of my coffee down the sink, suddenly unable to stomach it. I wait for dad to leave for work before I bolt next door search of Nick. I find him just as he’s closing his front door. I glance at the car, where the kids are already strapped in.

“Hey,” he says with a smile. He frowns when he sees my expression.

“Do you need to tell me something, Nick?” I growl, with my hands resting on my hips.

The color drains from his face. “Fuck. He told you, didn’t he? I’m so sorry, Anna. I couldn't help it. He invited himself along. What was I supposed to say to the guy?” he says weakly.

“Jesus, Nick. How about no?” I retort, still in disbelief.

“I'm sorry,” he protests again. “I really had no choice. Short of saying hey, I'm fucking your daughter, there was nothing that would’ve gotten me out of this.”

“Fine,” I growl, knowing I can’t be angry at him for this. “So, what’s the plan?” I say, rubbing my temples.

“I hired a houseboat. For a week,” he muttered.

“A freaking houseboat?” I laugh, shaking my head.

“Jesus keep your voice down,” he hisses, glancing at his car.

“You're telling me that for the next week, I'm stuck on a houseboat with my boyfriend, my father—who also happens to be my boyfriend’s best friend, and my boyfriend’s two kids?” Nick winces. “And you want me to keep my voice down?”

“Uh, is now a bad time to mention you dad just called me? He wanted to check that it was okay to bring Mandy.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I mutter, shaking my head. “He must’ve called you the second he left the house.”

This just keeps getting better and better. I liked Mandy, but it annoyed me that he made this big deal about us spending time together only to turn around and invite his girlfriend.

What the hell am I going to do?


Kayla is in such bad hysterics that she's practically falling off the kitchen counter when I tell her about the mess that is my life.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” she huffs, barely able to spit the words out. “You've got to get me a ticket on that boat.”

“It’s not a fucking show, Kayla,” I growl. “There are no tickets.”

“Bullshit. This is going to be the show of the year,” Kayla giggles.

“Come on, please be serious, Kales,” I frown.

“I am being serious. You need me there,” Kayla says. The laughter is gone and there is nothing but honesty in her voice. The thing I love about Kayla is as crude and blunt as she can be, when you need her, she’s there. “I can help out with the kids and buy you more time alone with Nick. You think you’re gonna get any time with him without me there to cause a distraction?”

I think about it. Maybe having her there wasn't the worst idea in the world. If something went wrong and I needed an out, I know Kayla would figure something out for me.

No Reservations by Kristen Proby

   

From New York Times bestselling author Kristen Proby, comes a sexy, new contemporary romance novella in her Fusion Series, NO RESERVATIONS, brought to you by 1001 Dark Nights! Grab your copy of this amazing novella today!

   

About the Book

New York Times Bestselling author Kristen Proby takes us back to her highly acclaimed Fusion series.

Chase MacKenzie is not the man for Maura Jenkins. A self-proclaimed life-long bachelor, and unapologetic about his distaste for monogamy, a woman would have to be a masochist to want to fall into Chase’s bed.

And Maura is no masochist.

Chase has one strict rule: no strings attached. Which is fine with Maura because she doesn’t even really like Chase. He’s arrogant, cocky, and let’s not forget bossy. But when he aims that crooked grin at her, she goes weak in the knees. Not that she has any intentions of falling for his charms.

Definitely not.

Well, maybe just once…

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is a short, hot and sweet romance about a couple characters from the author's previous books. Chase is Mac's brother (he is married to Kat from the Fusion Series) and Maura is one of Kat's friends. Mac and Kat decide to get the two together on a blind date.

Unfortunately Chase and Maura know each other but she has refused to date him because he is a playboy and that starts the two off in a fun way. Chase and Maura have lots of hot sexy times. At times I wanted more story and less sex scenes and with this being a short novella story, I found the story didn't have the depth other Kristin Proby books have.

That said the book is still great and I enjoyed it. At times I did not understand Maura's dislike for marriage and babies. I am a mom and so her why of no kids I just didn't understand. That said I enjoyed this story and I liked both characters a lot.

About the Book

The first time I met Evie Harper, she threw a cream pie at my face. I actually hadn’t met her, just saw her. It was more like she hated everything I stood for and showed me her opinion with an airborne cream pie. Yes, she smacked me front and center on my face. The second time I saw Evie, I didn’t realize she was the cream-pie-throwing bandit, and she took my breath away in a flowing red gown at a gala.

Of course I couldn’t resist her looks, so I asked her to dance. She called me a schmuck and stalked off. My own Cinderella ran away from me. I shouldn’t have chased her down. We were all wrong for each other. But her fire red hair and feisty personality reeled me in, and I was hooked. Chicago’s most renowned playboy was finally falling head over loafers. At least it felt that way because she was like no other woman I’d met before . . . Evie was special . . . Problem was I had trust issues when it came to women.

Freud would’ve probably said it was my mother’s doing. Somehow Evie made me believe in her . . . trust her . . . Big damn mistake! One I hope I won’t live to regret . . . But then again how could someone so wrong for me turn out to be so damn perfect?

Excerpt

“What’s going on in that pretty little head of yours?” he asks and presses his nose to mine briefly causing my breath to hitch before he pulls away. “Your suit reminds me that you are the governor,” I say and I know it sounds weird, but somehow in my head on the last few dates, I tried to convince myself that he was just a regular guy. He chuckles, and again I wish I knew the sound of his laughter. “I’m still the same guy whether I’m in a suit and tie or a pair of jeans,” he replies.

I want to tell him that he looks hot as sin in his suit but something tells me that his ego is inflated enough. “Isn’t the governor’s mansion in Springfield? Why are you always in Chicago?” I ask, knowing this because I also teach history and the governor’s mansion has been in use since 1855. “Yes, the governor’s mansion is in Springfield, and I do occupy it in a way, but I hate it there. It’s big and empty. I much prefer my apartment here in the city. Truth is since I met you I’ve been spending more time in Chicago than I have in Springfield,” he says, and his blue eyes blaze as he makes the admission. My chest turns warm and saliva pools in the back of my throat. Fuck! I am so turned on by him. “Oh,” is the only word I can formulate right now.

He walks toward me at such a slow pace, and I feel like someone has pressed a slow-motion button. I take a large gulp as he closes the distance between us. He pushes a stray strand of hair off my face. “I’ve been thinking about kissing the hell out of you all day,” he says. My knees buckle, at least they feel like they do because the next thing I know his lips are on mine, hot and wanting. He kisses softly at first before his tongue begs entrance into my mouth. His taste is as intoxicating as I remembered. Our lips meshed together in a way that tells me, we fit. This is more than perfect. This kiss is everything.

This is my first book by this author and it was well written and had an original and interesting storyline. This was a very intense and suspenseful story and has a lot of surprises along the way.

The two stars are Evie and Colton. Evie is deaf and a single mother, her baby daddy, Jake is her best friend,  who she had a one night stand with and now they share a child together. Colton is the governor of Chicago and comes from a very wealthy family.

He meets Evie when she throws a pie at him at a demonstration and then he sees her again a fancy party. After that he is kinda hooked. I enjoyed watching these two date and get to know each other. The big suspenseful elements of the story relates to Jake and Colton and who they are to the other and what will happen when they find out the truth.

I enjoyed this story. Its one of those stories where you cannot put it down. There were some things that happen I kinda didn't understand Colton's motivation and why he did what he did. And that was why I did not LOVE this story. I did enjoy it though and it was a very fun story and you will love the ending.

As Long As You Hate Me by Carrie Aarons





About the Book

Kara

High school sweethearts. What a load of bull.

He might have been my first love, but it never meant I wanted to hear lyrics containing my name, love story, and *cringe* how I lost my virginity peddled out for the masses to digest.

Seven years later, and I’m still being haunted by his photo in every magazine, his music on every radio station. I thought breakups meant that you never had to see the person again. Especially when they ripped out your heart and made hamburger meat with it.

But when a chance encounter ends up going viral, I’m tied to him in a way I’ve always dreaded. And the last person on earth I’d want to spend an hour with, much less a lifetime, makes me an offer I can’t refuse. I might just be desperate enough to take it.

Dean

The girl in the song is real. And she’s made me a rich man.

I’ve been dedicating choruses to her for a decade, she’s the muse she never wanted to be. Off of our love, I’ve become famous … and a complete egomaniac.

When another one of my flings goes off the rails, and lands me in hot water with the media, my recording label is less than thrilled. And so comes the marching orders from my agent; devise a scheme to transform into a squeaky clean good guy.

Coming face to face with her is something I’ve only dreamed about. If not to win her back, then to at least apologize for the ways I’ve exploited her. Instead, I rope her into my madness, proposing a deal only a masochist would accept.

This is my first book by this author but it won't be the last I really enjoyed the story, her characters and the writing. It is a 2nd chance at love, rocker, high school love and it was alot of fun to read.

Kara and Dean fell in love at age 15 in a small town in NJ. Dean's home life was horrible and all he wanted to do was get out of town. Meanwhile Kara had great family and friends and never wanted to leave. They graduate high school and go their separate ways but things are tough for the two and Kara sees some photos of Dean and believes he cheated on her and says don't ever call me again.

Dean listens and instead writes songs about her that torture her for years on end. No one though knows who she is and so years later they see other again at a wedding and are photographed together. Thats when Dean's master plan comes together and I felt bad for how he manipulates Kara.

Dean has been accused of a sex crime and he would never do anything like that. He is hoping to distract the press exposing the girl who was his muse, and get engaged to her so they stop focusing on his accusers false charges and focus on their love instead.

He offers Kara LOTS of money and a new exciting job in LA if she will come move in with him for the next year and help him out. But Kara truly hates Dean...so that sorta made this book alot of fun.

I loved this story. Its a great Hate/Love romance. The two together are very STEAMY. There were a scene here or there I did not care for. Like when Dean mentions he has had 3 somes with his friend, or when he invites his friend over for some fun and Kara catches him or when he mentions an orgy he enjoyed with a bad character from Hollywood. But they were very small scenes and actually were not important parts of the story.

Mostly Dean loves Kara and Kara loves Dean but they have a lot of anger and resentment to get thru and this was their road to happily ever after. It was fun, angysty, and a very well written story.

Drive by Jacob Chance






About the Book

Kissing a complete stranger shouldn’t be a life altering experience, but with him it was. One look into his mischievous hazel eyes and our lips were colliding without a second thought.

Now, months later, not only do I know his name, we’ve also become friends. Good friends. The kind of friends that kiss and cuddle together, all night long. The kind of friends that fantasize about being horizontal or vertical...and very much naked.

I’d never been attracted to the football playing jocks, but Nick’s different. When he’s not being a professional flirt, he’s undeniably sweet and funny. For every excuse my mind comes up with to keep my distance, my body finds two reasons to give him a chance.

Can he make the final drive into my heart or will I keep him in the friend zone?

Addicted 2 Romance Review


I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is my first book by this author and well I fell in LOVE with this book. So much that I went out and read two other interconnected books related to this story. This book easily stands alone. But I really loved the characters and wanted more and so I read the two books connected to this story.

If you want to read them they are:

Penalty starring Harlow and Brady

Punched starring Reagan and Noah

How do they relate to this book? Well Reagan is the sister of this stories heroine, Carter and Nick is the leading man and Noah's best friend. Harlow and Brady are Nick's best friends as well as they attend the same college and Nick and Brady are on the same football team. Both couples are seen a lot in Carter and Nick's romance and I fell hard for all three couples.

In this story Carter has broken up with her college boyfriend who knocked up her former friend and now they are together and she is feeling sad, lonely and betrayed. She goes back home and that is where she meets Nick, at her welcome home party. They share a killer kiss but Carter doesn't tell him who she is. But they have a lot of connections and so they meet up at her 26th birthday party where they do exchange names.

Nick is age 23 in this story, and Carter 26. Despite the age difference, the story really worked. I loved all the characters except for Nick's sister and Sam. The biggest issue in this story is that Carter has a hard time trusting and letting go of what her ex did to her. So her and Nick start out as friends and things then start to heat up.

This is a wonderful story and I loved it. Nick is a player up til meeting Carter and after that, she is all he sees and wants and I loved him so much. Carter has had her heart broken and I loved that she took her time about getting to know Nick.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

This is my first book by this author and so I have not read this series before.It stars two characters from two different series, Nathan Sinclair from the Dirty Duet series and Trisha from the Fixed series. Now before I get started I want to say that this is not the normal type of book I enjoy. I like one man/one woman type of romances. Orgies, multiple sex partners are totally not my thing. So while I did not love this story, that is why.

 This book features voyeurism, a sex club where multiple parties play with each other. That said I felt the story was well written and I did like the characters. I am not sure I understood why Trisha does what she does. She has rules and one is she never actually has sex with anyone at the sex club. So she just goes there to tease , maybe. I dunno. That is the part I did not understand. 

Nathan on the other hand enjoys the sex clubs and has no problem having sex with anyone there. He and Trisha meet at a sex club and he breaks all her rules. And well that was fun. He doesn't just break he obliterates them and he really is the perfect guy for Trisha. 

While this was not a book I normally would pick up and read, I did enjoy it and that was purely because Nathan is HOT and fun and he really lightens Trisha up dragging her into a RELATIONSHIP that is worth more than just sex.And Trisha well she gives as good as she gets. I would recommend his story to those who love reading about sex clubs, sex orgies and fans of this series. 

This book stands alone nicely and I did not feel lost at all about the characters, having never read the series books before.
