Falling Fast

by Aurora Rose Reynolds

This is a brand new stand alone from Aurora Rose Reynolds.  I am a hige fan of hers, and this one did not disappoint!

Synopsis:

Colton and Gia are from Until June
Colton Allyster is relieved to be back home. After a year of rehabilitation, losing his career as a Marine along with his fiancé, he’s had to learn quickly what’s really important. Colton grew up wanting to serve his country. Managing his parents’ biker bar was never part of his plan, but after meeting Gia Caro, he’s beginning to think that’s exactly where he’s meant to be.

Ever since Gia Caro arrived in the small, sleepy town of Ruby Falls, Tennessee, her life has spiraled out of control. Between losing her grandmother a little more each day to dementia, and her hot boss’s constant attention, her once quiet existence isn’t so quiet anymore.

After weeks of sidestepping Colton, things get out of hand, and before Gia knows what’s happening, she’s spending her nights in his bed and her mornings in his kitchen. And as he cleans out drawers and makes room in his closet, she starts to wonder if she’s falling too fast.

We meet Colton and Gia in Until June, but this can be read as a standalone.  I loved this characters in this story.  Gia was a strong and sassy girls, and Colton was a sexy alpha.  There was some angst, but not too much, and it was super sexy.  Colton was the perfect cocky alpha, and this story sucked me right in.  This was well written and flowed very well.  

This book is live and available now.  If you are a fan of cocky alpha males, and a great story, this is a great one.

I loved this book!!  It was sweet and incredibly heartbreaking.  I loved seeing all the characters from the original series.  This technically could be read as a standalone but I think if you read the Beaumont series you will get so much more out of it.  This book had me sucked in from the very beginning.  It is incredibly well written and I had no idea how they were going to work everything out.  I loved it!!  And I cannot wait for more in this series.  

This book is available now!!  Grab it quick, I promise you won't be disappointed.

Sweet Time

by Nina Lane

Sweet Time is the 4th book in the Sugar Rush series, but it can be read as a standalone.  I read this one without having read the previous books in the series, and I didn't feel like I was missing anything.  

Synopsis:

Stuck in a boring insurance job, vivacious Mia Donovan has spent the last few years searching for her life's true path. She fills her time helping plan the wedding of her best friend to the CEO of the Sugar Rush Candy Company.

Mia has also been trying to attract the impossibly rigid Sugar Rush security chief Gavin Knight. But for well over a year, the unyielding Mr. Knight has ignored her, despite her short skirts, tight sweaters, and patently obvious flirting. And when he finally approaches her, it's only to assess the wedding plans for potential security risks.

A former soldier, Gavin has intercepted hostile anonymous letters threatening the high-profile wedding. Determined to keep everyone safe, he's forced to work with the maddeningly sexy Miss Donovan of the thousand-watt charm and irresistible body.

Irked by Gavin's many months of disregard, Mia takes her teasing flirtations to a whole new level. But her coquettish ways are no match for the edgy, lust-fueled dominant he conceals behind his impassive exterior. And when Gavin exerts his full control, Mia discovers he can protect everything except her heart.

I really enjoyed this book.  I fell in love with the characters from the beginning.  Mia is hilarious and sassy.  And Gavin was super alpha and broody.  Watching them dance around each other was a ton of fun. 

This was a fun and sexy read, but also with a little suspense thrown in.  I did read this as a standalone, but I enjoyed it so much I think I am going to go back and read the first three books.  

This and the first three books are available now!!  And right now, the first book is free!

Exes with Benefits

by Nicole Williams

Nicole Williams has quickly become one of my go to authors, her stories always suck me in!! 

Synopsis:

The only benefit I want from my ex is a divorce.

We got married for all the wrong reasons. The one thing we got right was our separation. I should have known better than to think I could bet on forever with a guy like Canaan Ford. Everything about him screamed impermanent, from his wild eyes to his restless soul.

When I left him and the small town I’d spent my whole life in, I swore I’d never go back. Never only turned out to be five years. Canaan claims he’s changed, but he hasn’t—same knowing smile, same rough demeanor, same body crafted from sin and sinew. And yet, something is different. He thinks this is his chance for redemption. My disagreement comes in the form of divorce papers dropped in his lap. He refuses to sign them. Unless . . .

He wants a month to prove himself to me—that’s his offer. One month to make me fall in love with him again and if I don’t, he’ll sign the papers. As much as I want to say no, I agree. I can suffer my ex for a short amount of time if that’s what it takes to be free of him once and for all. I fell for him once; I won’t make that same mistake twice.

He says we’re not over. I say we were over before we got started. Only one of us can be right, and I can’t let it be him.

I adored this book!  This is a great second chance romance, with some heartbreak thrown in.  I fell in love with Canaan from the beginning.  He made some mistakes, but he more than made up for them.  And Maggie made me a little crazy!  I understood her apprehension on some level, but I wanted to shake her a little too.  I loved learning about the past, and watching them move past it.   

This is available now, and I highly recommend it.  It is a stand alone, and so so good.

Hate To Love You

by Tijan

This is a new stand alone from Tijan.  This is a YA story with the perfect amount of angst, I loved it. 

Synopsis:

Rule #1: No hot guys.
It might sound ridiculous. I get it. It kind of was, but college was supposed to be my sanctuary. It was my place to start over. The rumors, the whispers, and the jealousy I endured through high school would all be gone.
No one would know me at college.

Rule #2: No drama.
I’d major in pre-law. I’d make a few loyal friends. Everything would be easy-breezy. No one was going to use me or hurt me. I wouldn’t let them.

Rule #3: New year. New place. New me.
Right?
Wrong.
And all because of Shay Coleman.

Football captain and quarterback, he was the big guy on campus. The cocky guy in my political science class with a smirk. I hated him on sight . . .

. . . and he was about to break all my rules.


This is a perfect college aged, enemies to lovers story.  Kennedy cracked me up with her rules.  She was above and beyond with her ideas.  And Shay was a sexy, alpha and I loved him from the beginning. 
This book does tackle some serious issues with college students right now.  It was a little different than the normal Tijan books.  But it does plenty of angst and sexiness to deliver.  I really enjoyed it.

This book is live and available now!!  If you are a YA fan, you should definitely read this one!!  If you have read and enjoyed Fallen Crest, this is right up your ally!!

Life on his ranch could be their future. If they can overcome their past.

And now that she’s returned to Prescott, he’s got a second chance to win her heart. This time, the only thing standing in his way is history. Drudging up the past is going to be about as painful as playing tug of war with barbed wire. But if they can heal old wounds, he’ll get the girl he should have had all along.

We met Silas and Felicity in previous books, but this can be read as a standalone.  I loved Silas from the beginning, but Felicity was a B when we saw her before.  I loved getting to know her and seeing her past.  She is sassy and an excellent I loved that they go there HEA!  I love every book in this series, so even though this is a standalone, I recommend the whole series.  I can't wait to see what happens next!

Royally Endowed

by Emma Chase

I loved the first 2 books in this series, and I couldn't wait to read this one.  And it was so so good!!!

Synopsis:

Logan St. James is a smoldering, sexy beast. Sure, he can be a little broody at times—but Ellie Hammond’s willing to overlook that. Because, have you seen him??

Sexy. As. Hell.

And Ellie’s perky enough for both of them.

For years, she’s had a crush on the intense, protective royal security guard—but she doesn’t think he ever saw her, not really.

To Logan, Ellie was just part of the job—a relative of the royal family he’d sworn to protect. Now, at 22 years old and fresh out of college, she’s determined to put aside her X-rated dreams of pat-downs and pillow talk, and find a real life happily ever after.

The Queen of Wessco encourages Ellie to follow in her sister’s footsteps and settle down with a prince of her own. Or a duke, a marquis…a viscount would also do nicely.

But in the pursuit of a fairy tale ending, Ellie learns that the sweetest crushes can be the hardest to let go.
***
Logan St. James grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, in a family on the wrong side of the law. But these days, he covers his tattoos and scars with a respectable suit. He’s handsome, loyal, brave, skilled with his hands and…other body parts.

Any woman would be proud to bring him home to her family.

But there’s only one woman he wants.

For years he’s watched over her, protected her, held her hair back when she was sick, taught her how to throw a punch, and spot a liar.

He dreams of her. Would lay down his life for her.

But beautiful Ellie Hammond’s off-limits.

Everybody knows the bodyguard rules:
Never lose focus, never let them out of your sight, and never, ever fall in love.

I loved Nicolas and Henry, but Logan was on a whole new level.  He was broody, and sexy, and a perfect alpha.  And I adored Ellie, her inner dialogue was hilarious.  This story spans about 5 years and I loved that.  Watching how Logan and Ellie's relationship progressed was so fun.  We got so much insight into both of there feelings.  We also get a good amount of the other couples, which was so much fun!!  This was a perfect last book to this series, it tied up everyone's story perfectly. 

Royally Endowed is live and available now!!  It is sexy, sweet, and so good!!  I highly recommend it.
