READ AND REVIEW
BODY CONTACT (HANDS ON) BY CATHRYN FOX
Release Date: August 15, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Body Contact is the second of a three-part erotic series from New York Times and USA best-selling author Cathryn Fox.
Asking pro football player Jack Rider to teach me everything he knows about sex might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I’m not so sure I can handle a guy like him. I thought he’d just straight up do me, ridding me of my pesky virginity sooner rather than later. But no, he had his own ideas about bringing me up to speed on sex. His two weeks of slow seduction might just be the death of me, but since he’s the one in charge, I have to play the game his way. Not that I’m not enjoying it. I am. Who wouldn’t, right? I guess I just can’t help but wonder how I’ll ever let another man touch me after him.
This is the second of a three-part series full of mind-blowing sex, featuring a dirty-mouthed football player who knows the score and an inexperienced therapist who needs to learn it. BODY CONTACT is sure to leave readers begging for more. The next installment comes September 2016.

REVIEW: BODY CONTACT (HANDS ON) BY CATHRYN FOX
Body Contact by Cathryn Fox
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The fireworks become missiles in the next phase of Danielle and Jack's experiment. Body Contact brings the temptation that is Cathryn Fox's signature, but she digs deeper into the vulnerabilities of two people afraid to open up and expose weaknesses . Danielle, has not lead an easy life and knows the pain of repeated rejection. Jack is afraid, that without his career he has nothing to offer. It's easy to forget that a sexy story, can be as compelling as a tearjerker. The appeal of any read is based on how a reader reacts to the words on the page. For me Body Contact scored a gold.

REFRAIN (SOUL) BY KENNEDY RYAN
Release Date: August 15, 2016
SYNOPSIS
People dream of a love that runs deep. So deep it feels like it's always been with you, just waiting for the person who'll own your heart and soul forever. So few ever find it, but for Rhyson Gray and Kai Pearson, happily ever after was only the beginning...
One of the biggest rock stars in the world and one of the brightest rising stars make a life together. Sometimes it's glamour-filled days and blissed out nights, but it's mostly staying true in the too-bright glare of the spotlight. It's long stretches where the road is lonely and the work is hard. It's living in a love that's the safest place you know even while danger lurks at your door.
Book 3 of The Soul series is an emotionally-charged epic conclusion that had to be told and should not be missed for fans of this series and this couple!

Refrain by Kennedy Ryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC Review: Refrain (Soul) by Kennedy Ryan
Kai and Rhys' connection is so powerful it borders on obsession. Their relationship is all consuming to the point that neither sees themselves existing without the other. Although a sweet concept, it can also prove toxic when little by little a person loses themselves along the way. Refrain is tragic, haunting and emotionally climatic as the high and lows of this couples journey comes to a head. Kennedy Ryan knows how to grab a reader and hang on tight. She shows both the beauty and the tragedy that is LOVE. A stunning conclusion to a breathtaking series.

ARC Review: Almost Hitched (Clover Park Studs) by Kylie Gilmore
Ian and Kate are back to bring their unconventional and at times awkward love story to a hilarious conclusion. Almost Hitched is the adorable companion to Almost Romance. Time and distance are still a road block for these love birds. Add in commitment and co- habitation, the mishaps get bigger and funnier. Kylie Gilmore, has so much fun developing her characters. Her witty dialogue and eclectic characters are evidence. Almost Hitched is a chance to revisit great characters and discover new friends in a world that is full of humor and heart.

Torch by Karen Erickson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC Review: Torch (The Wildwood Series) by Karen Erickson
Karen Erickson outdid herself with Torch. The title the characters and the whodunit are great assets to this saucy series. Wren puts on a brave face but is really a lost soul searching for her own place. She yearns for a chance to find her happiness, even if it takes her away from the people and places she loves. Tate, is everything she wants but is scared to take a chance on. The flashy personality, his risky career and the turbulent attraction that she craves to let loose. An impressionable home life has left both Tate and Wren with feelings of inadequacy and fear of the unknown. Can they overcome the pain of their pasts, in order to find a future together?
The chemistry was combustible between Tate and Wren. It was so obvious that they had a special connection. What I loved most is that despite the animosity Wren showed, Tate was there whenever she needed someone to vent to or just to look after her. I adore these two together.

ARC Review: Hero of Mine (Men in Uniform) by Codi Gary
Hero of Mine by Codi Gary
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Codi Gary continues to get better with each Men In Uniform novel. She really steps up her game with Tyler and Danielle. Past events have caused each to look at life life differently. For Tyler, he's gained a deeper appreciation of his surroundings and takes full advantage of every adventure life has to offer. For Danielle, maturity brought surprise motherhood and an inability to fully open her heart to anyone but her most prized achievement, her son. With Hero of Mine, Ms. Gary delves into a world of regret, self - doubt and second chances that don't come easily but are worth all the blood, sweat and tears to be faced along the way. Danielle was somewhat hard to get a read on because of how closed off she was, yet her strength was her will to tackle a tough situation and come out on top.

ARC Review: The Sapphire Heist (Jewel) by Lauren Blakely
Ms. Blakely is a masterful story teller. She likes to take her readers to the edge by writing provocative stories that merge suspense, romance and good versus evil. Her imaginative narrative is composed in such a way that at times there is difficulty in determining who the culprits are. The Jewel series has the adventure, the puzzle and the heated attraction of forbidden romance. The Sapphire Heist is the continuation to The Jewel Affair. Steph and Jake are on the run searching for answers, fighting an attraction and with the mystery surrounding the stolen jewels, questioning if they should trust each other. Each new twists, had me spellbound and the flames thrown in this heated battle of intrigue is worth the burn and red herrings thrown in for good measure.

REVIEW: TO KISS A THIEF (RUNAWAY DESIRES) BY SUSANNA CRAIG
To Kiss a Thief by Susanna Craig
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
To Kiss a Thief is my first Susanna Craig read and it's a show stopper. Sarah is an innocent in a world of betrayal, heartache and manipulation. Fairfax is forced into a situation that brings about scandal, resentment and a rush to judgement from his peers. A forced marriage and missing necklace leads to suspenseful romance that is crafted masterfully and a lyrical sonnet that's melody lingers after all is said and done.

Chased by Love: Trish Ryder by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Trish dreams of being taken seriously as an actress. Boone devotes himself to living the life of a rock star. Having nothing in common except for creative aspirations, there was no reason for them to meet. Until a major role in a movie has their paths crossing and the sparks flying. Chased By Love can be interpreted in a number of ways. My personal interpretation was of people who loved the ability to escape reality and masquerade in a world of their own creation. What each has to learn is how to face problems head on, lower the barriers and let love in. I received an ARC of Chased By Love in exchange for an honest review. Ms. Foster writes amazing stories that force a reader to look beneath the surface to gain the full impact. Makes for compelling and emotional reads.
