Release Date: February 29, 2016

Continue on Cam and Haylie's journey in the second volume of this NA hockey romance novella series.
Unlucky in love, Haylie Keene can’t believe she’s dating another hockey player--especially her ex boyfriend’s former teammate. Sexy as hell Cam Erickson is impossible to resist, but Haylie's doubts keep her from jumping in with her whole heart. And when her ex makes a play to win her back, she’s completely torn.
Cam doesn't know the meaning of giving less than a hundred percent, whether it's to win a hockey game or Haylie’s heart. So when it looks like she might choose her cheating ex over him, he’s unwilling to sit the bench while she makes up her mind.
When Haylie realizes she might lose Cam, she knows she must fight to keep him. But can she thaw the ice around his heart before the last buzzer sounds on their relationship?

Right Kind of Mistake: Book Two by Rebecca Thomas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Haylie and Cam's story continues in this next installment of The Right Kind of Mistake by Rebecca Thomas. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Ms. Thomas redeems herself with the second half of this series. Haylie issues with self-doubt and mistrust are revealed on a larger scale. I was not a fan of the way this story was divided into two sections. It could have worked as one novel. I will say that the character of Cam is well written and his one track focus on getting what he wants made me breathless. Haylie was a little more tolerable as I got a better understanding of what drives her fears. A step in the right direction.

REVIEW: ONE TEXAS COWBOY TOO MANY (BURNT BOOT,TEXAS) BY CAROLYN BROWN
One Texas Cowboy Too Many by Carolyn Brown
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Burnt Boot is not your average small town. I would not describe it as quiet. There is definitely a lot going on in this crazy little town. I started out confused and maybe that is because I have not had the chance to read the first couple of books in the series. I received an ARC of One Texas Cowboy Too Many in exchange for an honest review. Leah and Rhett as a couple were a hot commodity. In a town built on secrets, feuds and chaos it's hard to hear your heart without wearing a pair of earphones. Leah wants to keep the peace but wants a little happiness for herself. One Texas Cowboy Too Many is good but has the potential to be great, once I catch up on a little back history that I missed in the other books from the series.

HOT FOR THE SCOT (KILTED HEROES) BY JANICE MAYNARD
Release Date: March 1, 2016
SYNOPSIS
It’s a dream come true for schoolteacher Hayley Smith. No homework to grade, no students to corral, no social media, Internet or cell phone…just a month amid the heather and rolling hills around Inverness. A brawny alpha male in a kilt is probably too much to ask for. But Hayley is in heaven ambling around Loch Ness, gazing and then…falling into the icy water, before being rescued by a strong, chivalrous local hero…
Retired soccer star Angus Munro, aka Angus the Angler, is a little insulted and a whole lot intrigued when Hayley doesn’t recognize him. How long has it been since anyone saw beyond his wealth and fame? And how long before the macho athlete and his modern-day American damsel in distress act on an attraction that could make even the misty Scottish moors sizzle with heat? Long enough, maybe, for both to figure out if this is an affair to remember…or the start of something everlasting…

Hot For The Scot by Janice Maynard
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Think Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants meets Outlander. That describes Hot for the Scot by Janice Maynard perfectly. Although I have never been swept up in the craze drawn by the aforementioned movie, show and books, I loved this one. These sisters of the heart have drifted apart but are united by their love of a revered book Outlander and their fantasies about Scotland. They journey to the land of their dreams, where adventure waits and maybe even romance. Hot for the Scot is the first book of the Kilted Heroes series. Hayley stumbles into her own romance novel, learns about herself and has to make important choices. I requested an ARC of Hot for the Scot from NetGalley. A great blend of fantasy, reality and romance.

BIDDING ON THE BILLIONAIRE (SEATTLE BACHELORS) BY JM STEWART
Release Date: March 1, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Safety. Anonymity. Invisibility.
Those are just a few advantages of Internet “dating.” Even better, as far as Hannah Miller is concerned, is the fact that she can shed all inhibitions without worrying about what he thinks of her figure or her face. “He” is bikerboy357, the man who knows what Hannah likes, and wants her—every night—as much as she wants him. When he asks to meet, Hannah hesitates. But the temptation is too strong. And after one look into his sultry green eyes, there’s no turning back.
Cade MacKenzie’s never met a woman who’s wasn’t blinded by his billion-dollar net worth, but “H” knows neither his face nor his name. Her words are so smart, sweet, and scorchingly sexy that Cade’s willing to gamble she’ll be just as amazing in person. And she is. But even as every delicious encounter makes Cade want Hannah more, what he wants most is her trust.
It’s something all his money can’t buy. And now, Cade will do anything to earn it.

REVIEW: BIDDING ON THE BILLIONAIRE (SEATTLE BACHELORS) BY JM STEWART
Bidding on the Billionaire by J.M. Stewart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hannah and Cade's relationship progressed out of the need for a connection with the outside world. No judgement, just acceptance and companionship. It worked better than either expected and though they long for something more, the secrets they hide, the trust lacked and the fear or rejection keep them apart. I received an ARC of Bidding on the Billionaire by JM Stewart in exchange for an honest review. I was prepared for this story to be weird, cheesy and redundant. It was none of those. Bidding on the Billionaire IS a little weird, but beyond that it is a story about conquering fear. Central themes of hope, loneliness, rejection, grief and prejudice are also explored. Cade and Hannah actually ended up being one of the purest love stories I have every read. It is a story of empathy, healing and purity. Done in a way that proves sexy and heartbreakingly beautiful.

Tall, Dark, Billionaire Texan by Mandy Baxter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
History is not doomed to repeat itself. A person's worth and dignity is not based on the actions of others or mistakes from their past. The lessons learned whether good or bad are what shapes a person. It's a choice. That is something that Ryder, Jase, Luke and Noah have to figure out for themselves in this alluring compilation. I received an ARC of Tall, Dark, Billionaire Texan in exchange for an honest review. Mandy Baxter brings the naughtiness she has come to be recognized for. She also gives her readers a glimpse into the heart of life, family, romance and the forgiveness that comes with maturity. I am loving the Billionaires Club series. These men are tough on the outside but have hidden vulnerabilities that will melt the heart of romantics everywhere.

A RECKLESS DESIRE (BRECONRIDGE BROTHERS) BY ISABELLA BRADFORD
Release Date: March 1, 2016
SYNOPSIS
For fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Sabrina Jeffries: the elegantly seductive third historical romance in Isabella Bradford’s Breconridge Brothers trilogy.
Lord Rivers Fitzroy is as charming and sought-after as his rakish elder brothers, though he immerses himself more in dusty books and scholarly pursuits than in bawdy houses. Yet, Hell-bent on making the most of his remaining bachelorhood now that his father insists he marry, Rivers becomes the favorite of a troupe of Italian dancers. One night, after a performance, the handsome lord is challenged with a most provocative wager: Turn the players’ meek and mousy cousin into the first lady of the London stage.
But Lucia di Rossi is not what she seems. Scorned by the rest of her family, Lucia longs for the respect and stardom of a great actress. Rivers’s wager could be the answer to all her hopes—so long as he understands that she wants to be an actress, not his mistress. The two commence her metamorphosis in earnest—even as passion begins to take center stage. As Lucia’s dreams come true, she fears that it may be Rivers, not she, who is the master performer. Is he only making her believe he cares? Has she found the spotlight only to lose her heart—or will the final curtain reveal a love strong enough to last?

I received an ARC of Reckless Desire in exchange for an honest review. Both characters owned pieces of my heart for different reasons. Lucia's unbreakable spirit despite facing cruelty from family, society and even doubt in herself is what made her an inspirational figure. Fitzroy captured my heart because he saw potential in her when nobody else did and offered encouragement when she lost faith in herself. Isabella Bradford crafted a story of hope, faith and love that is realistic and sure to become a classic.

HIS TO KEEP (BEAUTY AND THE BRIT) BY TERRI L. AUSTIN
Release Date: March 1, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Iain wasn't just rough around the edges-he was uncivilized, despite all the elegant trappings and expensive suits. And Brynn wanted more of it. She wanted Iain in full-on barbarian mode. She wanted to be taken.
Filthy rich British bad boy Iain Chapman made a name for himself as a ruthless businessman, but if he can secure an investment from Vegas powerhouse Trevor Blake, Iain could take his business to the next level. Solution? Hire beautifully timid corporate trainer-and Trevor's sister-in-law-Brynn Campbell and seduce his way to success.
Brynn's everything Iain is not: kind, delicate, decent. But she's also got a taste for something a little beastly, and it doesn't take long for Iain to break through her every inhibition. Brynn was supposed to be his pawn, but as Iain gets closer to his goal, he begins to realize he's not ready to let her go, not now, not ever-even if it costs him everything.

His to Keep by Terri L. Austin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Iain could be brutal. He was manipulative and ruthless. Once he set his mind to it he was going to conquer whatever was in his way. No boundaries. Brynn is easily lead. She just cannot say no, regardless of how much she wants to. Ms. Austin knew what she was about. Iain was hard to like but impossible to forget. Brynn was more of a sweetie. That quality made her hard to resist and more of a sympathetic and a character that was easy to relate to. His to Keep by Terri L. Austin is a modern twist on a familiar story. The theme is commonplace but voiced in a way that is expressive and fresh.

But when she runs into the sexy surgeon at a nightclub—and he unleashes that legendary Steele charm—Hunter fears she's headed straight for heartbreak once again.

But the rules are suddenly changing for the no-strings bachelor. Can Tyson convince this sensual woman that he's the real deal—that they deserve a second chance together?
REVIEW: POSSESSED BY PASSION (FORGED OF STEELE) BY BRENDA JACKSON
Possessed by Passion by Brenda Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The nucleus of any Brenda Jackson story is the importance of family. Perhaps that is why I am in love with her characters so much. Knowing when facing the unknown that someone has your back is a great feeling to have. That is what attracts me about the Westmoreland and Steele clans. With a wide range of personalities, careers and family members there is always something new to discover and someone new to meet in these wonderful series.
I received an ARC of Possessed by Passion via NetGalley and Harlequin in exchange for my honest opinion. Tyson Steele and Hunter McKay's story is featured in this novel. Hunter is as opinionated as Tyson is arrogant. Mix these two personalities and you get a sensational story that is sensual, explosive and entertaining. I thought the characters were well matched in ego and stubbornness but found that the chemistry between the two came across a little forced in the beginning.

A resignation, a spur of the moment engagement of convenience and a reevaluation of what type of relationship they have is just the antidote to heal this fractured union. Joanne Rock has created a drool worthy hero that maybe a little clueless but is loyal to a fault. Adelaide is the perfect blend of brains, emotion and uncertainty. They meshed well together.

Elijah lives a life relegated to the shadows. He thrives on the darkness that lurks in soul, stuck with only his memories to keep him warm. There is no other way to describe Violet other than clueless. The people she trusted were not what they seemed and now she is faced with the consequences. Or is she? Jackie Ashenden is known for her wickedly sensual stories. Her romances are right on that edge between naughty and sweet. Kidnapped by the Billionaire is full of surprising twists and anguish but it is also a redemption story. In Violet, Ms. Ashenden brings Elijah that light of hope loss to him in his dark quest for revenge. In Elijah, she brings Violet a savior and protector from all the untrustworthiness she experienced in her life. I requested a copy of this novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Kidnapped by the Billionaire is a story of hope built in a world of hopelessness.

Only Kylie Gilmore can get me to even consider reading a story like this. Normally, I stay away from stories that have the slightest hint of a medical story line.

Brandy loves her job, her family- but longs for more. Tyler tolerates his family, is always up for a challenge and fantasizes about the girl that got away. Kimberly Raye's latest installment of those feuding moonshine rebels may not be as intoxicating as Texas Thunder but it has just as much to offer. I received an ARC of Red-Hot Texas Nights in exchange for an honest review. Kimberly Raye gives new meaning to "behind close doors" with this one. Tyler and Brandy are keeping secrets from each other, their families and the entire town. This story did not start out very well for me. It took a while for the story to catch up with the characters but gradually it pulled me in. Tyler and Brandy have to stop listening to everyone else and admit they belong together. A rough start but Kimberly Raye delivered in the end.

Cynthia Eddington never thought she'd return to Snow Valley after a string of bad luck forced the sale of her beloved farm there. But here she is, about to start a new life with her children, Jackson and Anoria. Cynthia plans to focus on her career and her family; she's not looking for romance and she's definitely not looking for sexy cowboy, Colby Schroder.
Running from the Cowboy, Cami Checketts
Missy Horman escaped an abusive marriage and returns to Snow Valley to help her father deal with her emotionally disturbed mother. Volunteering to teach a youth Sunday school class seems like a good way to get out of her comfort zone—until she ends up kissing Porter Wilson in front of a bunch of teenagers. Embarrassed, and secretly thrilled, by the kiss, she writes Porter off as a playboy. But, Missy wasn't the only one affected and Porter's new mission in life is to prove that there's more to him than flirting and world-tilting kisses. He wants to show her that a true cowboy knows how to treat a lady and, if Missy can't keep her wits about her, she might just let him.
The Bet, Taylor Hart
When Destiny Morningstar gets blackmailed into spending her spring break in Snow Valley, the last thing she’s looking for is a date, especially not with Adam and Chase Moon—two attractive and athletic brothers. But soon she finds herself tangled up in a dating spree that includes a flag football game, swinging around the barn dance, and hiking to Snow Valley's romantic hot springs with the town's most eligible bachelors. At every turn she's within kissing distance of one of the delectable Moon men. When she discovers she’s been part of some bet fueled by sibling rivalry and overactive egos she has to make a decision—forgive them both or miss out on the best thing that’s ever happened to her.
Sealed with a Kiss, Kimberley Montpetit
Jessica Mason and Pastor James are struggling to make their long-distance relationship work between Snow Valley and New Orleans where Jessica dances with the local ballet company. When April Murphy, a war widow with a child, shows up in Snow Valley, James reluctantly begins to wonder if he and Jessica are really meant to be. April would make the perfect pastor’s wife and he’d have an instant family and the stability he craves. But he can’t get the spitfire Jessica out of his mind and when she returns to Snow Valley to accept an inheritance, her male ballet partner in tow, the love triangle takes on a new edge. Can Jessica and James figure out how to create a family while living in two different states—or do they allow their hearts to move on and forget the passion they once shared?

The Infamous Heir by Elizabeth Michels
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
The Infamous Heir is not all fun and games. Their is mischief afoot and Ethan Moore is quickly at the center of it. Thanks to Sourcebooks and NetGalley I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review. I liked that Ms. Michels delved into many different areas within this read. There was an examination of the true meaning of friendship and loyalty, hidden revelations, unrequited love and an edge of danger. At first meeting Ethan is hard to forget. He quickly took a hold of my heart with his wit, persistence and optimism. Roselyn irked me. Her uppity attitude was too much of a turn off for me. Ethan deserved better. Still I found this story worthy of 3.5 stars because it was an easy read that had character.

The Remingtons: Pitching for Love by Amy Manemann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Amy Maneman tries her hand a little guilty pleasure with Pitching For Love. Mia is no rule breaker but Evan has her rethinking that. I received an ARC of Pitching For Love in exchange for an honest review. The books I have read by this author in the past have not been full of scintillation sexual tension. She should try it more often because it totally worked in this story. I loved the heat but I also liked seeing the vulnerability Mia displayed. It showed she was just as insecure as Evan. This novel worked for me on so many levels. Looking forward to what is ahead for this author.

The Remingtons: City of Love by Kaira Rouda
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Charlotte is so much more than a pretty face. Why can't anyone understand that?
Hale leads a life that is hectic and unsatisfying. He has a job he loves but a boss he hates and his brightest moments are spent watching a woman who doesn't know he exists. I received an ARC of City of Love in exchange for an honest review. There is a wistful quality to this read. Hale and Charlotte were living their dream careers in the big city but are not happy. They want more than just work and adoration from their peers.
City of Love is a story about making the choice that is right for you when others don't agree. Lovely story.

REVIEW: THE REMINGTONS: CRAZY LOVE (KINDLE WORLDS NOVELLA) BY CALINDA B
The Remingtons: Crazy Love by Calinda B.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There is something so invigorating about discovering a new author. That feeling of traveling into the unknown is a little scary. Crazy Love gave me that feeling throughout, which proved great because I experienced the fear and uncertainty Kennedy did more realistically. Through her of course. Calinda B has written a story about facing fears and moving forward in a mental and literal way. There is so much heartache in this story but there are also moments of inspiration that make the tears easier to take. I received an ARC of Crazy Love in exchange for an honest review. The road to healing proved treacherous but ending up being worth ever step.

REVIEW: SUGARED (THE MISFIT BRIDES) BY JAMIE FARRELL
Sugared by Jamie Farrell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Jamie Farrell lived up to the title with this one. It's hard to walk away from this story without a toothy grin. Josh (the eye candy) has lived a story book life. He was adopted by a family that had it all, a successful business, money and lots of love to give. But now years later, his family is on the verge of losing it all. Unless, he can save them. To do that he needs a plan, a baker and faith. Love was never in the plan but might just be the icing on the cake. Jamie Farrell writes hysterical stories that have the full package: drama, comedy and heart. The reason Sugared worked so well is that Josh needed to realize that he was essential to the family. Kimmie helped him realize that love is what makes a family not blood. No matter how many times I come across that concept in a story I never get tired of it. I received an ARC of Sugared in exchange for an honest review.
