Release Date:    February 8, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

He's driving her crazy...

Piper West is finally on her own, and it's time to get crazy. Except that her overprotective big bro has enlisted his ex-cop best friend to keep an eye on his baby sister. With every move monitored and reported back, Piper's life has gone from "going crazy" to "being driven crazy." But a searing-hot kiss with her sexy and scarred watchdog is just the game-changer she needs...

Cole Black owes Piper's brother big-time, but there's nothing easy about his new assignment. Piper is all feisty sexiness and curves meant to tempt a man beyond reason, and Cole can't stop himself. Now he's caught up in a hunger like nothing he's ever known, and he can't get enough...

Even if Piper's the one girl he's not allowed to have.

REVIEW:  WRECKED  (AXLE ALLEY VIPERS # 3)  BY SHERILEE GRAY

 

 Wrecked (Axle Alley Vipers, #3)Wrecked by Sherilee Gray

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I have really enjoyed getting to know Alex, Rusty and Piper. These women make their presence felt in a field predominately dominated by men. The enigma is they have the skills, looks and drive to make their business dreams come true but insecurities and painful pasts have made these women unreceptive to love. I received an ARC of Wrecked in exchange for an honest review. It was great to finally find out more about Piper. She is always the one with an optimistic outlook for any situation, a friendly smile, a helping hand and the most easygoing and trusting. Sherilee Gray gives more insight into Piper's vulnerabilities with this story. We also meet Cole who is struggling with his own demons. I only had one flaw with this story. I did not see the need for some of the over dramatized stalking of Piper. It came across as unneeded. Wrecked is another story that is worth all the heartbreak and pain just to get to the happily ever after.

BETTING ON THE WRONG BROTHER (WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS) BY CATHRYN FOX

 

 

Release Date:    February 8, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

This good girl is ready to be bad… 

 

He may be at a romance readers’ convention, but a naked woman in the elevator is not what horror writer Ryan Wheeler expects. Now he can’t take his eyes off of her—and not just because he saw her naked, though her luscious curves certainly aren’t helping the matter. She’s beautiful, funny, snarky…and a complication he doesn’t need. 

 

Running into her teen heartthrob while naked wasn’t exactly part of romance novelist Andi Palmer’s weekend plans. Worse, he doesn’t recognize her and gives her a fake name­. Years ago, he shot her down in the worst possible way, and now this? It’s time for a little down-and-dirty revenge. 

 

Ryan’s more than a little turned on by this good girl who wants to be bad. But things aren’t what they seem, and the secrets they’re keeping from one another might just end this sexy little rendezvous before it ever begins…

REVIEW:  BETTING ON THE WRONG BROTHER (WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS) BY CATHRYN FOX

 

Betting On The Wrong BrotherBetting On The Wrong Brother by Cathryn Fox

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A chance meeting at a romance convention. Already off to a good start. Cathryn Fox really caught my attention with Betting on the Wrong Brother. I am used to her brand of sexy romance that consists of high volumes of sensuality that bring the body to a boil and touched the emotions. Ryan and Andi's story had some of those qualities but it also tickled the funny bone as well. A traumatic event in her past has made Andi cautious and introverted. Ryan has struggled with self esteem issues as well. The one thing I loved about the What Happens in Vegas series is that it puts romance writers in awkward situations and humanized them. I don't want to give away to much but will say there are a lot of surprises. I received an ARC of Betting on the Wrong Brother in exchange for an honest review. Catherine Fox got it right.

ACCIDENTALLY IN LOVE WITH THE BIKER (WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS) BY TERRI ANNE STANLEY

 

 

Release Date:    February 8, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Their love is a long shot… 

 


Aspiring writer Kellie Dalton needs a man, and fast. When she’s rear-ended by a sexy-as-sin biker on the way to a Vegas romance readers convention, she sees her chance. If he’ll pose as her fake boyfriend long enough to impress a bestselling author, Kellie has a shot at saving the bookstore for underprivileged kids she runs back home. 

 

Quinn Anderson doesn’t know what to make of the cute little writer who stirs his heart and his libido, but he does know he wants to get better acquainted. And if that means keeping up their sexy ruse all week, he’s game. 

 

Quinn knows girl like Kellie deserves someone with a secure future to help with her store, not a guy struggling to turn a profit on his chopper shop. But if his motorcycle designs win the big Vegas competition, he’ll have enough prize money to fund his dreams…and hers.

REVIEWACCIDENTALLY IN LOVE WITH THE BIKER (WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS) BY TERRI ANNE STANLEY

 

Accidentally in Love with the BikerAccidentally in Love with the Biker by Teri Anne Stanley

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This story had a lot to offer and started out with so much promise BUT for me the fluctuating tempo took something away from the momentum. That made me sad because I really enjoyed the characters. Kelli is a dreamer that wants to make a difference and longs to be a writer. Quinn has dreams of his own. He wants to make his family proud and do more with his life than muddle through. Like everyone they had their flaws but what I was charmed by was their hearts were what lead them to dream of a chance at a better life. Even though there were some issues with the story for me it proved to be an eye opener. Ms. Stanley created a proud achievement. Accidentally in Love with the Biker may not have been perfect but it was close to it. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

SYNOPSIS

 

Love is the worst complication… 

 

After a failed marriage and quitting her high-pressure job, Carrie Steinhem is ready for uncomplicated fun. Love? Not what she’s looking for.

But just as her night out veers toward public embarrassment, a sizzling stranger sweeps in and claims Carrie as his date. 

 

Potential hookup? Check. If she doesn’t get cold feet first. 

 

Ryan Burton is on the fast track to a promotion…assuming he can avoid distractions and nail this new account. Except the woman he rescued at a friend’s wedding ends up not only being his new neighbor—she’s his client’s ex-wife. And his client has every intention of winning her back. 

 

Carrie and Ryan would love to leave complicated alone, but when two people share a duplex and irresistible chemistry, temptation—and love—is right around the corner…

REVIEW:  GOING ALL THE WAY (KISS THE BRIDE) BY CYNTHIA COOKE

 

Going All the WayGoing All the Way by Cynthia Cooke

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Going All the Way has irresistible written all over it. Carrie is a walking disaster. She ends up in the most interesting situations and her ex is a jerk but that is what makes her appealing. Ryan is the serious to Carrie's catastrophe. He stables her but I can't say she has the same effect on him. She disrupts his life of order. I received an ARC of Going All the Way in exchange for an honest review. Such a fun read that mixes hilarity with romance. I love that.

BEYOND THE STARS BY STACY WISE

 

 

Release Date:    February 8, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Falling for him wasn't in the plans...

Most girls would kill for the opportunity to work for Jack McAlister, Hollywood's hottest actor, but twenty-one-year-old Jessica Beckett is ready to kick him out of her red Ford Fiesta and never look back. She should be spending her junior year in France, eating pastries and sharpening her foreign language skills. Instead she's reluctantly working as Jack's personal assistant, thanks to her powerhouse talent agent aunt.

Jack is private, prickly, and downright condescending. Jessica pushes his buttons—she's not the type of girl to swoon over celebrity heartthrobs, precisely why her aunt thought she'd be perfect for the job—and Jack pushes right back.

But as she begins to peel away his layers, Jessica is shocked to find she craves her boss's easy smile and sexy blue eyes. The problem is, so does the entire female population. And what started out as the job from hell soon has Jess wondering if a guy like Jack could ever find love with a regular girl like her.

REVIEW:  BEYOND THE STARS BY STACY WISE

 

Beyond the StarsBeyond the Stars by Stacy Wise

My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars





Jack and Jessica are like oil and vinegar. They don't mix. Perhaps due to circumstance or just personality conflict. There were times that both came across as spoiled and self absorbed pain in the buts. It was amazing how much they had in common but allowed ego and bias to hold sway in their opinions. When I began reading Beyond the Stars it did not impress me but as the characters opened up more I slowly began to see there was more to love about these people. In the end Beyond the Stars was an in depth look at the life away from the cameras and was a story that surprised me. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

THE MILLIONAIRE MAKEOVER (BACHELOR AUCTION) BY NAIMA SIMONE

 

 

Release Date:    February 8, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

He promised to stay away…but some promises are made to be broken

Plain-Jane computer programmer Khloe Richardson needs a date—one to make the prince of her dreams jealous. Maybe then he'll finally see her as a desirable swan and not the ugly duckling in the second office from the left.

But when she bids on a bachelor at a charity auction, the man she wins is millionaire Niall Hunter—who once made intense, passionate love to her and then left without a word. She's determined not to let her guard down again—among other things—around the infamous Irish lothario.

Niall never imagined his penance for one hot-as-hell night with his best friend’s little sister would be transforming her from a shy wallflower to a sultry siren. Helping her attract another man is torture...especially when he promised his friend he’d stay away. Plus, she wants forever, and he's not a forever kind of guy. But Niall can't stop wanting her. Can't stop touching her. Can't stop, period. And damn if he can remember why he has to...

REVIEW:  THE MILLIONAIRE MAKEOVER (BACHELOR AUCTION) BY NAIMA SIMONE

 

The Millionaire Makeover (Bachelor Auction, #2)The Millionaire Makeover by Naima Simone

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Funky, sexy and moving. I received an ARC of The Millionaire Makeover in exchange for an honest review. Stories like this one are so delightful to find. Niall is a character that is fighting inner turmoil but is such a magnificent blend of arrogant, sweet and tortured. Khloe has a fragile heart and a dreamers soul. Naima Simone created a story that blends a modern day feel with what I find endearing about romance. I loved it and will be reading more of this author's work.

STRIPPED DOWN (LONESOME COWBOYS) BY ANNE MARSH

 

 

Release Date:    February 8, 2016

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

“I warned her once—I don’t give warnings twice—that if she ever came back when she was grown up, she’d be mine. She flipped me off and told me I wasn’t the boss of her. She was playing with fire and she knew it, but she also thought she was safe. Off-limits. Taboo. She hadn’t figured out that the only rules I played by were my own.” ~ Angel Mendoza

When I come home to Lonesome, California, I’m expecting to inherit a house and a fresh start on my crappy life—not a hard-eyed cowboy. Angel Mendoza is more devil than saint. He’s also my former stepbrother, richer than God, and a sexy asshole to boot. I have no business wanting to get close to him. He’s got a few plans of his own, too—like getting into my bed and my body. Heart optional.

Angel’s need for total control in bed shocks and thrills me, but giving in and letting go isn’t easy. Despite everything he owns—the land, the vast wealth, the loyal cowboys who run his cattle—Angel is tormented by demons. He’ll give me his body, but never his secrets… or his heart.

REVIEW:  STRIPPED DOWN (LONESOME COWBOYS) BY ANNE MARSH

 

Stripped Down (Lonesome Cowboys, #1)Stripped Down by Anne Marsh

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Stripped Down was way too complicated of a read. I get that Angel and Rose had a history that went back years and maybe I would have understood more of the dynamic between these two if I knew a little more back history but that didn't happen so the floor plan of the story seemed off kilter. I received an ARC of Stripped Down in exchange for an honest review.
