MELTING INTO YOU (FALCON FOOTBALL #3) BY LAURA TRENTHAM

 

 

Release Date:  November 3, 2015

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Alec Grayson returns home to Falcon, Alabama, to rebuild his life after a knee injury ended his NFL career. As the Falcon high school quarterback coach, Alec's love for the game is reignited. Meanwhile, he puts his hard-partying past and the betrayal of the people he trusted most behind him, and adopts a hard demeanor. That is, until a spitfire artist with soulful eyes and a body that haunts his dreams gets under his skin and threatens to crack his armor.

Lilliana Hancock is forced to leave her struggling-artist lifestyle in New York and return to Falcon after her father's unexpected death leaves her a decrepit family mansion. Determined to use her skills to turn the home into a successful bed and breakfast, Lilliana is stopped at every turn by the town contractor, who happens to be Alec, the gorgeous and arrogant jock to whom she lost her virginity in college. Except Alec doesn't remember, which infuriates her. Too bad she can't forget the way his body felt against hers or how his heated gaze follows her...

Will they be able to put their pasts behind them for a future together?

REVIEW:  MELTING INTO YOU (FALCON FOOTBALL #3) BY LAURA TRENTHAM

 

Melting Into You (Falcon Football, #3)Melting Into You by Laura Trentham

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Alec had his world changed in an instant. In that one second he lost something he had dedicated his whole life to. The people he trusted, the sport he loved all let him down. Who wouldn't be bitter. So he retreats to the place he left behind. Lilianna returns home to deal with family matters and decides to make it a permanent move. A change of career, starting a new business and coming face to face with a blast from the past is all a part of small town living.

I requested an ARC of Melting into You from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This story moved me in a number of ways. It is a story about appreciating the opportunities that are opened. People change, circumstances change but the beauty of life is that there are always new directions to explore. Great read.

THE BAD BOY CEO BY SUGAR JAMISON

 

 

Release Date:  November 3, 2015

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Colt King has spent his whole life trying to prove he's not the trash his hometown of Destiny, Nevada, thought he and his brothers were. As soon as he was old enough he left town, vowing to make a name for himself and never looking back at the place that looked down on him. But that plan goes out the window when his ailing elderly aunt asks him to come home.

He begrudgingly returns to help the woman who raised him. But he's no longer the poor kid from the bad part of town. He's the ruler of a custom car empire and a financial genius. He arrives expecting a boring stay, but when he walks into his childhood home to find a woman in nothing but her underwear pointing a shotgun at his face, he knows his trip home will be a memorable one. With his aunt sick and forcing him to help her restore her fledgling hair salon, he has more than enough on his plate. Colt has no idea that her sexy tenant, Zanna, is going to be the cause of his many sleepless nights.

Zanna Jacobs came to the ghost town of Destiny to stay out of trouble and stay the hell away from men. She's got a serious thing for bad boys that's she trying to kick, and when she lays her eyes on the brutishly handsome Colt, she knows he's got bad news written all over him. He's not the typical thug she goes for: He's too clean cut, too good looking, and too cold--and when he comes to take over her salon, she's not going to take it. Zanna decides to show him exactly who the boss is. Colt is used to people following his orders, and when Zanna challenges his every word he finds her infuriating and incredibly sexy. He can't keep his hands off her...and knows that once he returns to Las Vegas, all bets are off...

REVIEW:  THE BAD BOY CEO BY SUGAR JAMISON

 

The Bad Boy CEOThe Bad Boy CEO by Sugar Jamison

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The Bad Boy CEO is an amazing story. I requested an ARC of Sugar Jamison's novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed meeting the King brothers. The school of hard knocks taught them growing up that they could only rely on each other. Duke, Colt and Levi used the lessons learned from a dark childhood and have become successful business men. I am so hoping Ms. Jamison makes a series out of these brothers. Any story centered around brooding sexy males would be worth a look. Throughout the story there were hints of a series so I hope it will be followed through.

The Bad Boy CEO is the middle brother, Colt's story. In no way could Colt be describe as wearing his heart on his sleeve. He keeps his emotions stored away and focuses on making money for the business he and his brothers own. The human calculator (my nickname for Colt) uses work to escape all the pain from his past. Zanna has endured her share of heartache. In order to make a fresh start she left the past behind and moved on literally. New location, new people everything was going fine until Colt comes along and upends everything. Sugar Jamison is an author that is on the verge of big things. She took a story of heartbreak and bitterness and turned it into a sweet, sexy, gutsy novel that is just as filled with laughter as it is tears. I loved it.

REVIEW:  BELLA AND THE BEAST (CINDERELLA SISTERHOOD #4)

BY OLIVIA DRAKE

 

Bella and the BeastBella and the Beast by Olivia Drake

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Bella and The Beast is an adventurous read that intermingles with a burgeoning love story. Olivia Drake did an exquisite job with her descriptive writing. It makes the story so much more enjoyable because the reader feels like they are a part of the story and experiencing the exotic locations first hand. I was even a fan of Bella. Determined to provide for her siblings she did not sit back and wait to be rescued. She took charge and went to any means necessary. Strong female characters are a great asset to any story. I did not like the love story. It came across forced and rushed. I received an ARC of Bella and the Beast from NetGalley. For anyone who has an adventurous spirit this is the book that will satisfy that craving.

REVIEW:  THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD BY MANDY BAXTER

 

The Billionaire Single DadThe Billionaire Single Dad by Mandy Baxter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


There is nothing sexier than a man with a big heart who is not afraid to show a sensitive side, loves wholeheartedly and feels deeply. I think my description fits Carter to perfection. Mandy Baxter out did herself with this one. A grieving father trying to move on with his life and be the protector that his daughters need. I swooned. All things happen for a reason. A bitter betrayal sends Tess' life in a different direction. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. The Billionaire Single Dad is a sweet read about healing a broken heart and being open to second chances.

He has even agreed to release her from their marriage if she submits completely to his plan.

REVIEW:  HEARTSONG COTTAGE (ETERNITY SPRINGS #10) BY EMILY MARCH

 

Heartsong Cottage: An Eternity Springs NovelHeartsong Cottage: An Eternity Springs Novel by Emily March

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It is very rare that a story comes along and rips your heart right out of your chest. Heartsong Cottage was that story for me. Having to pick yourself up after losing a child the way Daniel did. Not having any closure that practically gutted me. What was miraculous is that he took that horrible event and created something beautiful. Heartsong Cottage is full of so much heartbreak. I wouldn't wish what Daniel and Shannon went through on my worst enemy. If you think Heartsong Cottage is a tearjerker, it is. However, this read is more than just pain and tears. It is a story of courage in the face of heartbreak. It is a story of healing and helping others to do the same. Emily March has written a story that is believable and real, that's what makes it so scary to think about. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review.
