Quote #1:

 

She exhaled slowly, tucking a stray hair behind her ear and trying to play it cool.

“Did you just smell me?”

Ha, I love this quote because Luke’s stunned that he just caught Andrea smelling

him after they first met. He’s stunned but he’s also intrigued. He likes this girl. A lot.

He’s thinking she likes him a lot too…

 

Quote #2:

 

Or how about, What exactly are you packing in them jeans? Because...holy hell,

it’s big.  Here’s some more funny sexy for you. Andrea doesn’t say this out loud—she thinks it.

Just after she and Luke kiss hot and heavy and she feels what he’s

packing in them jeans.

 

Quote #3:

 

“Keep your hands on the glass,” he commanded when she started to drop them,

and she went still, pressing her palms against the giant window. Oh, Luke tells Andrea this the first time they’re together and it’s sort of hot. Okay,

it’s really hot because he’s bossy and telling her what to do and she loves it. 

Nothing wrong with a man who’s a little bossy, right?

 

Quote #4:

 

He laughed. “Right, I keep notes of all the ways I can bring a woman to orgasm.” 

He shook his head. “I don’t think so.”  “If you do, I want a copy, because those notes, I’m pretty sure they’re worth 

something.” I don’t think I need to explain why I chose this quote as a favorite. 

I’ve also decided I’m a pervert because pretty much every quote I’m picking 

has to do with sex. Oh well. I’m owning the pervert moniker with pride.

 

Quote #5:

 

“I’d like to wear you out some more, but I’m afraid you’ll get mad that I kept you in

bed the entire time you’re here.” Andrea goes to visit Luke and of course, they 

spend a lot of time together alone. In Luke’s bed. Naked. But she’s never been 

to Seattle before and he’s feeling bad that he’s not giving her the tour so…yeah.

Forget tours when you can get a sexy football player naked, right? 

 

Endless Nights, in Five Words

There are many words I could use to describe ENDLESS NIGHTS (second in my 

VEGAS NIGHTS series) so to ask me to choose only five is going to be hard! But

I shall valiantly carry on. So here we go.

 

ENDLESS NIGHTS is FUN: Three single girlfriends who go to Vegas for a fun 

weekend can be nothing less than fun! Not only do I think it’s a fun read, but I 

had a blast writing every single novella in this series.

 

ENDLESS NIGHTS is pure FANTASY: I mean, come on. Three friends go to 

Vegas and meet gorgeous, famous men who fall madly in love with them? 

It’s pretty unreal. But then again, that’s the point. I set out to write this series

as pure contemporary fantasy. In ENDLESS NIGHTS, nurse Andrea meets 

pro football player Luke and sparks fly. Who doesn’t want to fall in love with 

a sexy football player?

 

ENDLESS NIGHTS is SEXY: Luke Nelson is a man’s man. Big, strong, he’s a 

badass out on the football field and a charmer off. He takes one look at pretty

Andrea and knows he has to have her--and does whatever it takes to get her. The sex between these two is off the charts but also…

 

ENDLESS NIGHTS is SWEET: Because Luke really does care about Andrea. 

He’s not chasing her just for the chase. He’s intrigued by her. Drawn to her. 

He likes this woman, who’s so normal and doesn’t seem to care so much 

that he’s some sort of celebrity, like all the other women he encounters. He

loves that about Andrea. Her normalcy.

 

Finally, ENDLESS NIGHTS is REAL: Fine. I said it was pure fantasy but also? 

I tried my best to keep Andrea and her friends Reagan and Natalie real. They’re

just regular women who work hard at their jobs and are looking for a little fun for

the weekend. They need the escape. And boy do they find it—in the form 

of three sexy men.

 

 

Fun Facts about Endless Nights

A book series is never born out of nothing. There are always influences that come

into play as I put together a series, and the VEGAS NIGHTS series is no exception.

So without further ado, let’s discuss a few of those fun little facts.

 

When I approached my editor about the VEGAS NIGHTS series, she asked that I 

have each heroine fall in love with an actor, a pro athlete and a rockstar (she was

especially fond of the rockstar idea –and you'll meet Noah Wilde in WILD NIGHTS in July). I was certainly on board for that…

 

The heroine from ENDLESS NIGHTS is named after a favorite blogger of mine 

(though she doesn’t blog anymore, boo) who complained on Twitter a long time 

ago, I never see any heroines named Andrea! My name isn’t 

heroine-worthy. Well, Andrea, now it is. J

 

I haven’t told my husband that my hero Luke Nelson plays for the Seattle 

Seahawks because I’m afraid he might disown me. You see, my husband 

is a hardcore 49er fan and he, uh, hates the Seahawks. But I wanted to

keep Luke on the west coast and I’ve already written a hero who plays for

the 49ers and I don’t like the Raiders so…hello Seahawks.

 

The hotel they’re staying at in ENDLESS NIGHTS is based on the Bellagio. I

did a signing in Vegas last fall and stayed at the Bellagio and wow, it’s gorgeous.

So I knew I had to base my fictional hotel on the Bellagio because yeah, why not?

Though there are so many beautiful hotels in Vegas it’s not hard to find some

inspiration.

 

The hotel in ENDLESS NIGHTS has no name. I did that on purpose.

 

There’s a scene in a lingerie store that was inspired by the Victoria’s Secret

catalog I received while writing ENDLESS NIGHTS. I thought, ooh that stuff 

is pretty, and decided to have Andrea try some of it on for Luke. He mightily

approved.

 

I love writing a pro athlete hero. I’ve written so many, it’s like I can’t escape them.

I don’t want to escape them! They are way too much fun. And sexy. And hot. 

And gorgeous. And…you get the picture.

 

 

I hope you check out ENDLESS NIGHTS. I think you’ll enjoy Andrea and Luke’s story…

VEGAS NIGHTS SERIES BOOK 3--WILD NIGHTS BY KAREN ERICKSON (7/21/2015)

 

READ THE ENTIRE VEGAS NIGHTS SERIES

 

 

WICKED WEEKEND (CURRENTLY FREE)

RECKLESS NIGHTS

ENDLESS NIGHTS

WILD NIGHTS (7/21/15)

 

Karen Erickson created the perfect series.  Three vacationing nurses go on a trip to Vegas.  They want to unwind, take a break and have a little fun.  What they get is missing luggage and wild nights that lead these three girls on a rollercoaster ride to unexpected love.  Vacationing in Vegas has never been such fun.

 

 

 

What happens in Vegas…could be a fantasy come true.

 

Vegas Nights, Book 0.5

Between nursing school and starting their careers, Reagan, Andrea and Natalie have had no time for dating. After saving up for a special vacation, they’re on their way to Vegas for a long-awaited weekend of fun, sun, gambling and partying.

When their luggage goes missing, an impromptu shopping trip leads them to James, who makes them an unusual offer—to be part of the female scenery at his boss’s upcoming party. Not just any scenery, but women who are pretty in a real way, not the nipped, tucked and dyed Hollywood version.

Accept a “private party” invitation from a complete stranger? These ladies weren’t born yesterday. Yet before “no thanks” crosses their lips, Reagan discovers who James’s boss really is: Declan Carter, an actor she’s crushed on for, well, forever. Now she’s determined to be the eye candy who catches Declan’s eye. No matter what it takes…

 

Warning: Epic shopping trip results in meeting hot men. It is recommended that all

credit cards be placed out of reach before reading.

 

My Review

 

Wicked Weekend (Vegas Nights, #0.5)  by Karen Erickson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A prequel novella in Karen Erickson's Vegas Nights series, I found Wicked Weekend to be unrealistically entertaining. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the story a great deal. The story centers around three friends who decide to get away from their busy lives and careers on a weekend roadtrip to Vegas. I found the story to be highly entertaining and loved my introduction to Reagan, Andrea and Natalie. The only negative things I have to say about the story is that some of the scenarios were unrealistic and the story was to short. However that still did not detract from my enjoyment. Received a copy of this book for an honest review.  (www.goodreads.com/review/list/25556913-isha-coleman)

Sometimes dream crushes do come true.

 

Vegas Nights, Book 1

Reagan can’t believe her luck—and not in a good way. One minute she’s hanging

out with her friends at an exclusive party in Las Vegas. The next, she’s attracted

the attention of a famous actor. Not just any actor. Declan Carter, the man on

whom she used to—okay, might still—have a fangirl crush. Whose blue eyes

leave her embarrassingly tongue tied.

All Declan wants is to meet a nice, normal woman who won’t use him as a

stepping stone to fame. Something about Reagan tells him she could be

that rare woman, and he follows his instinct to invite her back to his suite—

where they proceed to have wild monkey sex. All. Night. Long.

What was supposed to be one night of no-regrets sex stretches out into a

blissful weekend of two people who can’t get enough of each other. But when the glamour of Sin City wears off, they’re standing on the edge of a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn a weekend fling into something lasting. Will they take the jump?

 

Warning: Smokin’ hot sexy weekend with a gorgeous actor? There shouldn’t be a warning—more like encouragement to indulge your fantasies!

 

My Review

 

Reckless Nights (Vegas Nights, #1) by Karen Erickson
My rating:  4 of 5 stars


Reckless Nights picks up where Wicked Weekend left off. Regan and Declan meeting. Their relationship turns hot and heavy really fast. But can a weekend fling between two very different people turn into a ever after love? Regan is insecure about if she is really enough and Declan is unsure if he and Regan can make a relationship work, based on a steamy weekend fling. This is a short story and is quite good. It will definitely leave you wanting more. Don't like to give away spoilers, so if my review intrigues you--READ THE BOOK! Received this book for an honest review.

The sex is crazy good. Is it crazier to want something more?
Vegas Nights, Book 2

Andrea and her two best friends have shed their nurses scrubs for a long-awaited weekend in Las Vegas, and nothing—flight delays, lost luggage, or the slightly weird guy with the sketchy invite to 

an exclusive bash—is going to stop their fun.

Within minutes of arriving at the opulent party, she’s deep in conversation with

 gorgeous, funny Luke Nelson, wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks. For

 some crazy reason, he can’t seem to keep his eyes—or hands—off her.

Luke isn’t looking for a hookup, he just wants to relax…until he gets one look at the classy brunette in the barely-there dress. One minute they’re talking, the next they’re all over 

each other in a dark corner. It’s like he’s an addict and she’s the fix

he’s been searching for all his life.

One night of hot sex isn’t nearly enough. But after a weekend spent 

never more than a few inches apart, the time is quickly approaching 

when they’ll have to make a long-distance relationship work—or break it off.

 

Warning: A lady who wants to go a little wild, a good-guy pro athlete who

likes a little sass with his class, crazy good sex, and a crazy ex.

 

 

My Review

 

Endless Nights (Vegas Nights, #2)  by Karen Erickson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Am really loving Karen Erickson's "Vegas Nights" series. This series has everything. A group of close knit girlfriends go on a roadtrip to Vegas and end up finding a sensually satisfying good time with guys who are tired of the celebrity scene. Endless Nights is Andrea and Luke's story. She is a nurse, he is a pro football player. They only have the weekend to explore their feelings. What happens when they each discover they want more? Can they overcome the obstacles? Enjoyable read. Received a copy of this story for an honest review.  (www.goodreads.com/review/list/25556913-isha-coleman)

EXCLUSIVELY AT WALMART: HARLEQUIN/PROFESSIONAL BULL RIDERS ORGANIZATION JOIN WITH TINA LEONARD IN RELEASE

 

 

 

One Wild Bull Rider by Tina Leonard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Fell totally in love with Creed and Aberdeen's story. One Wild Bull Rider is part of Tina Leonard's Callahan series. Creed leaves home and returns to the rodeo circuit determined not to fall victim to his aunt's matchmaking. Returning home because of an injury, he meets Aberdeen who is the town preacher and seeking to adopt her three nieces. I found it hilarious that he ran away from home to escape matchmaking and fell into it's trap upon his return. A sweetly written story. Received this book for an honest review.  (www.goodreads.com/review/list/25556913-isha-coleman)

 

 

The Bull Rider's Twins (Callahan Cowboys, #3) by Tina Leonard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The Bull Rider's Twins is a Callahan series reissue. I had read the book in the past, but it is always nice to reread a story and discover thing that may not have been noticed the first time around. Judah and Darla have always carried secret feelings for each other. When one unexpected night leads to two unplanned for surprises, Judah has to decide if he is ready to give up his wild ways and Darla has to decide if she is willing to deviate for a practical planning and take a chance on love. I have always loved Tina Leonard's ability to create stories that center around home, hearth and small towns. Received this book for an honest review. Worth rediscovering this series.
www.goodreads.com/review/list/25556913-isha-coleman

 

 

Heart of a Bull Rider by Tina Leonard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Heart of a Bull Rider is about so much more than the standard love story. Tina Leonard allows us into the world of not only the citizens of fictional No Chance. She allows us to experience first hand the reunion of brothers John and Jake. Neither has known the other ever existed. Opposites John is a wealthy billionaire intent on making changes to the hometown and rodeo of Jake who is a bull rider. These two now not only have to build a relationship with each other but they also each have their hearts set on local hometown girls. They also have to find answers to why they were separated in the first place. A unique story about coming home to a place that you never knew you left and finding out who you really are. Great book with a beautiful message. Received this book for an honest review.  (www.goodreads.com/review/list/25556913-isha-coleman)

 

 

 

A Family for the Bull Rider by Tina Leonard
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Family of a Bull Rider is an emotional story.  Jack has been estranged from his jerk of a father for years when he is summoned home.  His father's health is failing. Jack now has to figure out if he should help his father or leave the stress behind.  Helping him along the way is Cricket, a local deacon who has always had feelings for Jack.  But when an unexpected pregnancy happens will Jack be able to leave behind the rodeo life and be a better father than his own ever was?  A heartbreaking story to read at times and a frustrating one because of the stubborn personalities of the main characters.  Still I would recommend to anyone who enjoys reading Tina Leonard.  Received this book for an honest review.  (www.goodreads.com/review/list/25556913-isha-coleman)

ARC REVIEW: LOVE ON THE SLOPES BY AMY MANEMANN

 

 

 

Love on the Slopes by Amy Manemann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am grateful to have been given the chance to read an ARC of Love on the Slopes by Amy Manemann.  My favorite romances are the ones where two people are blessed to rediscover the love they let slip through their fingers.  Dominic and Jessa are perfect examples. Jessa and Dominic in their youth did not give their love a chance. Unexpectedly crossing paths years later will Dominic and Jessa find what they have been searching for all the years they were apart?  Or will what has brought them together end up ruining the future that is within their grasps?  A sweet and simple romance about not taking for granted the blessings given to you.  Received Love on The Slopes for an honest review.

Who I Am with You (Unexpected Heroes, #1.5) by Melody Anne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A nice quick read. Who I Am with You by Melody Anne is a story of two people at a crossroads in their lives. Each is searching for a new direction to travel into. Mixed in with this trip into self discovery is the fact that the main characters also have a romantic history that did not end well. I loved this story of finding a alternate path when life throws you a roadblock. Received this book for an honest review.

She does this by trying to fulfill her great-aunt's "bucket list". Cameron Effington is seeking to make a name for himself as a reporter.

Based on The Scoundrel and the Debuntante, I am sorry I have not yet read the other two books within the Cabot Sisters series. That will be remedied shortly.
I was blessed with an ARC of this story for an honest review and would describe it as a charming story full of twists and turns. Ms. London takes you on a journey with a young headstrong girl who is determined to forge a different pathway then her two sisters. I loved that she was trying to be different but managing to make some of the same decisions. If you are a fan of Eloisa James, Julia Quinn, Maya Rodale, Johanna Lindsey-YOU WILL LOVE JULIA LONDON.  (www.goodreads.com/review/list/25556913-isha-coleman)

Roxanne Snopek masterminded an adorable read when she wrote Cinderella's Cowboy. This story was a great read. I loved the underlying theme of your true self is what shines through and draws people to you. This book will keep you believing in finding Prince Charming. Cynthia a shy introvert is drawn to Chad an outgoing playboy. For some reason Chad is intrigued by this quiet little wallflower. An ARC was given to me for my honest review and I am so in love with this story, just might read it again.

 

 

A Lover's Vow (The Grangers, #3) by  Brenda Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The one thing that I always find admirable while reading a Brenda Jackson story is the strong sense of family. The Grangers are a close knit family that are on the verge of losing everything because of long withheld secrets. Dalton is the youngest in this family and A Lover's Vow is his story. Dalton is searching for answers that may save his family legacy. Jules is the private investigator he asks to help him. There are a lot of unexpected twists and turns along the way that will keep you on the edge of your seat. That being said this book is a strong and captivating end to a well put together adventurous series. Definitely worth a look. Received an ARC for an honest review and I have to say that this was a great ending to a captivating series.

Endless Nights (Vegas Nights, #2) by Karen Erickson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Am really loving Karen Erickson's "Vegas Nights" series. This series has everything. A group of close knit girlfriends go on a roadtrip to Vegas and end up finding a sensually satisfying good time with guys who are tired of the celebrity scene. Endless Nights is Andrea and Luke's story. She is a nurse, he is a pro football player. They only have the weekend to explore their feelings. What happens when they each discover they want more? Can they overcome the obstacles? Enjoyable read. Received a copy of this story for an honest review.  (www.goodreads.com/review/list/25556913-isha-coleman)

Glory keeps getting the short end of the stick despite trying to do the right thing. Cal is also trying to find his way after a contentious divorce while raising his teen daughter.

At a crossroads and looking to get her acting career back on track after a high profile breakup, Lauren Short consults on line pen pal Patrick Esposito. A handyman Patrick cannot believe his luck.

The Harlot Countess (Wicked Deceptions, #2) by Joanna Shupe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I am quickly becoming a fan of Joanna Shupe. I have only read two books of hers so far, The Courtesan Duchess and now The Harlot Countess. Ms. Shupe's brand of historical romance is funny, entertaining and at times in emotional. The Harlot Countess is the story of a young woman finding her footing in a society that blackballed her in the past and ruined her chances of finding a good match. Didn't help that the man she fell for betrayed her by having so little faith in her word of honor. Now she wants revenge. The Harlot Countess is a great read. Received an ARC of this book for an honest review.  (www.goodreads.com/review/list/25556913-isha-coleman)

WICKED WEEKEND BY KAREN ERICKSON IS CURRENTLY FREE!!!

Review:

Wicked Weekend - Karen  Erickson

 

A prequel novella in Karen Erickson's Vegas Nights series, I found Wicked Weekend to be unrealistically entertaining. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the story a great deal. The story centers around three friends who decide to get away from their busy lives and careers on a weekend roadtrip to Vegas. I found the story to be highly entertaining and loved my introduction to Reagan, Andrea and Natalie. The only negative things I have to say about the story is that some of the scenarios were unrealistic and the story was to short. However that still did not detract from my enjoyment. Received a copy of this book for an honest review.

The Billionaire's Bid (Indigo Island #4) by Kaira Rouda
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Was not sure if I would like this story. It turned out better than I expected. James and Aubrey had a one night stand a year ago. She has never forgotten him, has he forgotten her? Although, that was a major aspect of this story it was not the deciding factor to me. What sold me on this story is that both James and Aubrey are trying to do the right thing to atone for their actions in the past. If they just happen to fall in love in the process, so be it. Enjoyable story, I received an ARC of The Billionaire's Bid by: Kaira Rouda for an honest review. It was worth the read.

Romancing the Earl (Regency Treasure Hunters, #2) by Darcy Burke
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Any one that follows my reviews know that I love a strong and fearless female character. Darcy Burke delivered that with Catriona. Never afraid to speak her mind and go after what she wanted, definitely not a damsel in distress. Elijah is one of those stoic characters who doesn't trust very easily yet is drawn to this enigma of a woman. He knows more is going on and wants answers. Romancing the Earl is a historical adventure that will leave you spellbound. I know I was.

The Widow Wager (The Notorious Flynns, #3) by Jess Michaels

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


The Notorious Flynn series third installment is a welcome edition to the fold. The Widow Wager by Jess Michaels is in my opinion the best book in the series so far. The main characters Crispin and Gemma have taken on the weight of life and feel responsible for things that have happened and could not be changed. When they meet at the lowest point in their lives, each intrigues the other. The situation goes from bad to worst when Crispin and Gemma are forced into marriage due to a drunken bet Crispin made. Of course this is a Jess Michaels novel, so it is a very sensual read. Yet I found the deeper depth of two people hurting and finding love and redemption is the most unlikely place a lovely story. I would definitely recommend this book. A beautiful story of two broken souls that found salvation in each others arms. Received An ARC of The Widow Wager for an honest review.

Beauty and the Rake (The Rookery Rogues Book 3) by Erica Monroe

Beauty and the Rake is a beautiful spin on an intriguing story. Two battered souls,finding in each other what they never knew was missing in themselves. My heart broke at how desperate Abigail had to be to do what she did. Erica Monroe had me rapt until the very end. As always the story brings home the point to never judge a book by its beautiful cover. For even the most beautiful things are not always what they seem.
