THE COLONEL'S DAUGHTER BY AMY ANDREWS

 

Release Date:  August 10, 2015

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Sign: Scorpio

The sting of this Scorpio is unforgettably hot...

 

Ivy Danforth is out from under her Colonel father's overprotective control, and she's making it count. Big time. She's taken the summer off to travel through Australia with her bestie and experiencing all that life has to offer-when you're not under constant military surveillance. She wants to end her summer with some sexy fun, and she has just the hottie in mind.

 

Seth Rodrigo is ex-Special Forces working undercover and keeping an eye on Ivy as a special favor to her father. All he has to do is not give the game away and reveal who he really is. And especially not give into the hunger that's burning through his careful control...

Then they're forced into protective custody. Alone. Together. For four days. And this time, the Colonel's daughter isn't taking no for an answer...

REVIEW:  THE COLONEL'S DAUGHTER BY AMY ANDREWS

 

 

 The Colonel's DaughterThe Colonel's Daughter by Amy Andrews

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Not really sure how I feel about The Colonel's Daughter. Normally I love Amy Andrews. Ms. Andrews brings fresh, unexpected and amusing stories and characters to whatever she writes. This read was all of those things. The mishaps and antics were funny, Seth was sexy and the story flowed nicely. Could not say the same for Ivy. I rotated between amused and irritated. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review. The Colonel's Daughter is a pleasing read. I just was not a fan of Ivy.

BEAUTY AND THE BACHELOR BY NAIMA SIMONE

 

Release Date:  August 10, 2015

 

SYNOPSIS

 

She may be the highest bidder, but this bachelor's price is blackmail and passion...


Billionaire Lucas Oliver is hell bent on revenge. And his plan begins when Sydney Blake-the stunning daughter of his enemy-is tricked into bidding on Lucas at a bachelor auction. Then he serves up a little blackmail...followed by a marriage proposal Sydney has no choice but to accept.

 

Sydney has been controlled by her family her whole life. When Lucas threatens to reveal her father's shady business, she is once again forced to do her duty for her family. But worse-oh so much worse-is the rush of lust that Lucas ignites in her blood.
Lucas is determined to make Sydney suffer, but it's tough when he can't keep from touching her-or thinking about touching her-all the time. She's not fairing much better since she's engaged to a darkly handsome beast intent on destroying her entire family...along with her heart.

PLAYING FOR HER HEART BY MEGAN ERICKSON

 

Release Date:  August 11, 2015

 

SYNOPSIS

 

She wanted fantasy. He's about to make it a reality...

Grant Osprey just had the hottest sex of his life. Sure, they were both in costume, and yes, it was anonymous, but he never expected her to bolt in the middle of the night without so much as a good bye, let alone exchanging numbers. Or names. All he's left with are her panties and some seriously X-rated memories...until he meets his business partner's little sister.

Only Chloe Talley isn't the bold, sexy vixen he remembers. And she wants nothing to do with him.

Cosplay is Chloe's only chance to leave her boring, socially awkward world behind. To forget that she's failing at life and can't be with anyone, let alone a single-father like Grant. But the raw hunger between them is undeniable. With him, she can be a misbehaving maid. A sexy call girl for hire. Each scene pushes Chloe beyond her strict boundaries, until Grant demands the one character she can't play.  Herself.

REVIEW:  PLAYING FOR HER HEART BY MEGAN ERICKSON

 

 


Playing For Her Heart (Entangled Brazen)Playing For Her Heart by Megan Erickson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Megan Erickson deserves a standing ovation for this one. Playing for Her Heart is not a standard love story. Having experienced a painful event that impacted her whole family, Chloe is struggling. The outlet she uses to cope is role playing. It allows her to escape her feelings of inadequacy and emptiness. The problem she has become trapped in her world of make believe. Grant sees the grief underneath the masks. He wants to rescue his princess but will she let him close enough to try? Playing by Heart brings the sensuality but it is coupled with a serious edge. Ms. Erickson has gifted her readers with a story of heartache, inspiration and sex appeal. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review.

A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

 

She's the woman he loves to hate.

 

Penn Foster wants a lot of things. She wants a spot on the board of a charitable foundation. She wants to win the stupid, plastic family trophy. And more than anything, she wants her tall, hot, and brooding boss naked in her bed. Now, on a Hawaiian vacation with her family, she's desperately trying not to think about how he'd sound whispering dirty things in her ear.

 

He's the man she can't have...or can she?

 

Cole Murphy keeps himself locked down, away from the press and out of the spotlight. Still haunted by a traumatic childhood, his ability to trust has been decimated. Penn, with her sexy body and confidence, is the only person able to drag him out of his shell. Which is why he crashes her vacation and accepts her proposition for no-strings sex. But is the inescapable heat building between them a delicious temptation, or will it end in total disaster?

REVIEW:   RECIPE FOR TEMPTATION BY GINA GORDON

 

Recipe for Temptation (Madewood Brothers, #4)Recipe for Temptation by Gina Gordon

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Gina Gordon did an admirable job with her latest Entangled romance. Recipe for Temptation is edgy, sultry and delightfully sweet. The attraction between Cole and Penn could be felt from the first page and just grew even harder to ignore. The interaction between Penn and Cole took so many different forms. One minute they were boss and employee, the next friends, then lovers, etc. I thought it was quite interesting that Ms. Gordon did that. It allowed the reader to see all facets of the relationship between these two people. They had always been so much more than they realized to each other but refused to acknowledge their feelings. This was not your normal Entangled read. Had all the steam but did not lack for the story. Very gratifying. I received an ARC of Recipe for Temptation in exchange for an honest review.

BLACKMAILED BY THE HERO  BY JULIE PARTICKA

 

Release Date:  August 11, 2015

 

 

SYNOPSIS

 

A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

 

The wrong bed. The wrong guy.

 

 

Party planner Vicky Stone is on a post-divorce mission. Not only does she intend to land her dream promotion, she's going to indulge in a night of hot hook-up sex. Preferably with the hunky actor she just met at a work function, no-fraternization rules be damned. Fortunately, his drunken directions included a right that should have been a left, landing her in bed with her brother's extra-hot, extra-off-limits best friend instead of the unemployment line.

 

And, oh, he feels good. Too good.

 

Bad boy Dante Palladino's forbidden fantasies are about to come true...until Vicky realizes who she's feeling up. And to find out she risked her job for sex with some loser? Not on his watch. Dante throws down the ultimate, albeit self-serving, blackmail. Vicky will date him-and only him-and her secret will be safe. But Vicky swore never to fall for another guy who could break her heart...and Dante's on course to do just that.

REVIEW:  BLACKMAILED BY THE HERO  BY JULIE PARTICKA

 

Blackmailed By The Hero (Gone Hollywood, #2)Blackmailed By The Hero by Julie Particka

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Having just gotten out of a toxic relationship Vicky does not trust herself. Existing in a rut. she has decided that she wants to end her self imposed drought. One night of no strings, blow her mind, sultry fun. That decisions backfires when it brings her face to face with Dante. When she looks at Dante she trouble with a capital T. Her brain tells her no but her body is saying yes. Dante and Vicky are cute. They push each others buttons because they connection has always been strong between them. Listening to others is what interfered with them exploring the magnetic chemistry that has been obvious from the very beginning. I also loved the way Dante was so protective of Vicky. It bordered on obsession. Exploring their feelings may have been a bad decision, but making bad decisions has never hurt so good. Blackmailed by the Hero is attention grabbing, electric, comedic and hot. Very good read. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Am quickly becoming a Julie Particka fan.

VEXED BY THE VISCOUNT BY ERIN KNIGHTLEY

 

Release Date:  August 11, 2015

 

SYNOPSIS

 

 

Prudence Landon has always done exactly as she should. She’s obeyed her parents’ every word, lived by society’s every dictate, and even agreed to marry a man more than twice her age simply because it was expected of her. In the fortnight before her wedding, she decides it’s high time to bend a few rules before life as she knows it is over.

Viscount Ashby leads a charmed life. Betrothed since the age of seven, he is perfectly content to allow his off-the-market status to keep the marriage-minded mamas at bay. When he returns home to his parent’s estate and finds their prim, straight-laced young neighbor swimming naked in broad daylight, he’s both amused and intrigued.

When Ash discovers Prudence’s upcoming nuptials to the aging squire, he decides to help her live a little before the parson’s mousetrap springs closed. But what started as good fun soon leads to something much more. With her wedding fast approaching, they must choose between breaking all the rules and losing their one chance for happiness.

REVIEW:  VEXED BY THE VISCOUNT BY ERIN KNIGHTLEY

 

Vexed by a Viscount (All's Fair in Love, #4)Vexed by a Viscount by Erin Knightley

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Erin Knightley's charming story is another jewel in her crown of whimsical and entertaining repertoire. Vexed by a Viscount is the story of a woman seeking to break free and experience everything her regimented life has prevented. What ensues is awkward and embarrassing situations that allow her to proceed in making her own choices, become her own person and fall in love wholeheartedly. Ash was never part of the plan yet the heart wants what it wants. Vexed by the Viscount is everything a historical romance should be. Intensely entertaining, exceptionally romantic and very unforgettable. I received an ARC of this novella in exchange for an honest review.

One Night with the Bad BoyOne Night with the Bad Boy by Eve Gaddy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book has me gushing. The story was sweet, the characters were adorable and the flicker of spark quickly burned out of control. Xander knew he wanted Bailey the minute he locked eyes on her. Bailey was wary because she knows his type and has been burned before. Xander stole a little more of my heart with every step he took to convince Bailey of his true intentions. His determination and own heartbreaks in his life allowed him to be patient and coax her out of her protective shell into his arms. The chemistry between Bailey and Xander was a plus for me but the bond of man and child toppled me over the edge. I received a copy of One Night with the Bad Boy in exchange for an honest review. What more can I say? I am in love.

 

 

 

 

SEASIDE NIGHTS BY MELISSA FOSTER

 

Release Date:  August 12, 2015

 

SYNOPSIS

 

Fall in love with Sky Lacroux and Sawyer Bass in Seaside Nights, the fifth book in the Seaside Summers series by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster! 

.
"You can always rely on Melissa Foster to deliver a story that's fresh, emotional and entertaining. Make sure you have all night, because once you start you won't want to stop reading. Every book's a winner!" New York Times Bestselling Author Brenda Novak
.
Sky Lacroux has finally realized her dream and opened her own tattoo shop in Provincetown, Massachusetts. She's happy as can be, preparing the shop for its grand opening and renting a cottage in the Seaside community while renovations to her new apartment are being completed. The only thing missing is the one thing she longs for, and has no control over--love. 

Sawyer Bass, a professional boxer, plays his guitar at a local bar to escape the painful reality of his father's deteriorating health and a recent health warning of his own. But when he spots a stunning brunette across the room, escaping reality goes out the window, and the beautiful woman becomes the focus of his next song--and maybe even the rest of his life. 

When Sawyer walks into Sky's tattoo shop and sees the woman from the bar--Sky--the chemistry between them is instant. Sawyer is everything Sky could ever hope for in a man. He's honest, loving, sensitive, and potently virile--but boxing goes against everything Sky believes in. The closer they become, the more she realizes that her alpha boxer is waging his own emotional battle--only the battle she thinks he's waging isn't the one that threatens to tear them apart.

REVIEW:  SEASIDE NIGHTS BY MELISSA FOSTER

 

Seaside Nights (Love in Bloom, #25; Seaside Summers, #5)Seaside Nights by Melissa Foster

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Melissa always write stories that appeal to the heart. Seaside Nights is a wonderful example. Sky and Sawyer are each grapling with events that send them reeling. Sky is dealing with a shocking tragedy within and her family and the repurcussions have thrown her world of course. Sawyer is dealing with the prospect of losing an end to the career he loves and taking care of a sick parent who health is rapidly declining. His escape from the craziness in his life is to create. His art of choice is music and provides an outlet for his inner turmoil. Sky is an artist as well, a tattoo artist. She enjoys expressing herself through her designs.
Seaside Nights is about making difficult choices on a journey of hope, healing and love. Trusting the heart despite personal struggles can open all types of opportunities. Sky and Sawyer had to figure that out for themselves and for me that is what made the story all the more special. I received an ARC of Seaside Nights in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW:  EYE CANDY BY KATHERINE GARBERA

 

Eye CandyEye Candy by Katherine Garbera

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I am a fan of any story where the two central characters of the story complement each other. Hayley was a sweetheart who specializes in making sweet treats. Garrett was a cop dealing with an upset in his life and uncertainty about his career. These two individuals were polar opposites but they made sense. Each brought out the better qualities in the other. This sweet and salty read is a rewarding pleasure. I received an ARC of Eye Candy by Katherine Garbera in exchange for an honest review.
