REVIEW: STEALING THE BACHELOR (STEALING THE HEART) BY SONYA WEISS
Stealing the Bachelor by Sonya Weiss
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book reminded me of one of my favorite movies. I have always been a huge fan of Can't Buy Me Love. With Stealing the Bachelor Sonya Weiss made a classic movie an unforgettable book. The concept of looking for that special someone in all the wrong places when the perfect match was right in front of you is a great draw. There is nothing more romantic. A fantastic read. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A Weekend of Misbehaving by Carmen Falcone
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Extremely over the top. He's uptight, she's a free spirit. From the synopsis I was not impressed but as I experienced the story the concept became more clear to me. It all boils down to first impressions. Lorenzo is worried about his image and Alice is determined to protect her family. A Weekend Of Misbehaving is exciting with great appeal.

REVIEW: TEMPTED ( THE WICKED WOODLEYS) BY JESS MICHAELS
Tempted: The Wicked Woodleys by Jess Michaels
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Tempted is two love stories packed into one mesmerizing read. I received an ARC of Jess Michaels latest work in exchange for an honest review. Ms. Michaels in my experience has never written a book that has not captured my attention right away. With this particular read it was slow going at first, but with intriguing characters, a twist of mystery and magnetic chemistry the story got back on track. The brooding Lord Gabriel refused to give his heart to the gentle Juliet due to the pain steming from estrangement from his twin and the loss of his father. Juliet is happy with her simple life in her beloved country far away from the complications of society and Gabriel. What I liked about this story is that it explored two generations of lovers that have a complicated history but shared an all consuming passion that proves more powerful than any objection they have and any obstacle thrown in it's way. In the end I found it hard not to love this book.

REVIEW: LOVE SO PERFECT (THE LAWSON BROTHERS # 5) BY MARQUITA VALENTINE
Love So Perfect by Marquita Valentine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Just finished the latest book in the Lawson series: Love so Perfect by Marquita Valentine. Have been looking forward to reading Harper and Austin's story since I found out about it last year. Am happy to say it lived up to my expectations. Austin was every bit the immature playboy I pictured him to be BUT he also had the heart of a romantic. It just took a publicity disaster and a trip home to set him him straight. Harper was the catalyst to Austin's wake up call. Harper is a rarity. Beautiful inside and out BUT in a family of diamonds she sees herself as a lump of coal. If I had to pick something to take away from this story it is that with a little polish and effort the simplest objects can become the most precious. The will to put forth the work is what makes it a treasure. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Five gold stars.

REVIEW: YOU ONLY (CAMERON FARMS #1) BY MELANIE JAYNE
You Only by Melanie Jayne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hale did not come across callous. She seemed liked a troubled woman whose biggest critic was herself. By allowing events from her past to filter into her present she gave up on the people that could have helped her see her strengths and gave into her weaknesses. Fear drove her away from her home, family and the man she loved but finding the courage to face her painful childhood, the loss of her father and the love she left behind took maturity. By facing her fears she found her heart and by healing became stronger. You Only is a story about facing fears, opening your heart and finding your own truth. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review and found it to be an emotional journey that was beautifully written.

REVIEW: DIRTY TOGETHER BY MEGHAN MARCH
Dirty Together by Meghan March
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Dirty Together is a perfect ending to a disturbing yet intriguing series. Ms. March has impressed me. She took people who were not very likable and had me rooting for them to get the chance to be happy. With each book I fell a little more in love with the series and the characters. I had a love-hate relationship with these characters from the start that started out low and ended high. The Dirty Billionaire Trilogy is a tempting fantasy built on obsession.

REVIEW: SURRENDER MY LOVE (LOVE IN BLOOM: THE BRADENS AT PEACEFUL HARBOR #2) BY MELISSA FOSTER
Surrender My Love by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I fell irrevocably in love with Cole Braden just as quickly as he fell for Leesa. My hear melted at how compassionate he was toward her. Even when she repeated pushed him away, he remain persistent and sincere in his pursuit of her. When Leesa informed him of what she had faced before seeking shelter in Peaceful Harbor, his trust in her was unwavering. Leesa's painful experiences made her determined to stay a loner. The people she had trusted in the past turned their backs on her, she'd lost her home, career, her reputation. All the things she considered important disappeared rapidly and painfully. Peaceful Harbor proved to be her wake up call. There she found people willing to take a chance on a down on their luck woman. The Bradens showed her the beauty of family, love and trust. This open her heart and mind to all types of possibilities. I have read a number of Ms. Foster's novels and they all have stirred emotions but I have to say Surrender My Love is the one I like the best. Through this novel Melissa Foster conveys the harm in jumping to conclusions and the benefit of keeping an open mind. Those qualities are important ones to remember. I received an ARC of Surrender My Love in exchange for an honest review. Any reader who doesn't read it is missing out.
