WILD BOYS AFTER DARK: LOGAN BY MELISSA FOSTER
Release Date: November 15, 2015
SYNOPSIS
“If you’re interested in books with super-hot alpha males, ridiculously sexy heroines and need-to-take-a-cold-shower love scenes, this is the series for you!” M. Engel, Book Mama Blog
If raw emotions, cursing, dirty-talk, or intense, passionate sex that sometimes includes a silk tie, turn you off, then the After Dark books are not for you.
*NO CLIFFHANGERS*
Everything's naughtier after dark...
Stella “Stormy” Knight is an expert at hiding—her feelings, her past, and her identity. Sometimes all that hiding takes its toll, and she needs to come out from under that heavy suit of armor and cut loose—but it never takes her long to put it right back on and disappear without a trace.
Private Investigator Logan Wild is relentless in his pursuit to discover the truth for his clients. He works hard, plays even harder, and always walks away unscathed and untethered. Until he meets mysterious and sexy-as-hell Stormy, who leaves him craving more than a one-night stand.
Passion ignites, secrets are shared, and their deep connection is impossible to ignore. But in order to have a future, Logan must uncover Stormy’s dark past—and when he does, he’ll hold her fate in his hands.

REVIEW: WILD BOYS AFTER DARK: LOGAN BY MELISSA FOSTER
Logan by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Melissa Foster always delivers. No matter what direction she explores- there is always a story that leaves a mark with her readers. That is the true symbol of a great writer. Stella has uprooted her life to protect herself from someone she should never have trusted. Logan is dark, handsome and dangerous. Neither trust easy and are used to counting on themselves. In Logan, the characters are rougher, the situations are grittier and the language is harder. This series will take you places you never expect and introduce characters that are hard to believe. If Logan is anything to go by, I can't wait for the ride. I received an ARC of Logan(Wild Boys After Dark #1) in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW: ALWAYS MINE (THE BARRINGTONS #1) BY RUTH CARDELLO
Always Mine by Ruth Cardello
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ruth Cardello stepped out of her comfort zone to create a new kind of love story with Always Mine. The characters are bolder, the story sexier and the female lead is a tough cookie. Art imitating life perhaps. Emily was a spitfire. Her determination to keep a promise despite every obstacle Asher threw at her was so out of character for a Ruth Cardello novel. I admire that. Asher is a bulldozer with a cash register for a heart. He measures success by what he has acquired whether it be money, buildings, people or material things. Emily is the complete opposite. She measures happiness by the joy brought to others through simple acts of kindness. These two characters never should have fit as a couple yet they do. They not only fall for each other but learn about themselves along the way. They also learn from each other as well. Ruth Cardello took two complete opposites and made a story that turned out to be a wonderful love story and a life lesson as well. Treat others how you would want to be treated and with kindness and determination anything is possible. I received an ARC of Always Mine in exchange for an honest review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Calling Her Bluff is the right read to shake off the blues. I have said it before and I will say it again I am enjoying the What Happens in Vegas Series. Romance writers penning stories about romance writers finding love at a romance convention. Priceless. Ms. Danielle was on her game the comedic timing was great, the sexual pull was hot and the story was extremely witty and addictive. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

CHANCE OF A LIFETIME (ANDERSON BROTHERS #3) BY MARISSA CLARKE
Release Date: November 16, 2015
SYNOPSIS
Sometimes the biggest risk is playing it safe…
Gen Richards is tired of living down to her family’s expectation of the helpless blind girl. Resurrecting her high-school bucket list that begins with “kiss a total stranger” seems just the thing until she finds herself in a panty-melting lip lock with her big brother’s best friend.
Chance Anderson thrives on adrenaline, but Genny’s the one risk he’s not willing to take. His recklessness a decade ago landed her in the hospital and ejected him from her life. He’s bad for her and everyone knows it—especially her big brother.
Chance reluctantly helps Gen complete her bucket list in order to keep her out of trouble. Running through a freezing fountain, playing Spin the Bottle while fending off a mad horde of stinging insects, and skinny dipping with homicidal attack swans don’t hold a candle to the real danger: falling for the one person he can never have.

Chance of a Lifetime by Marissa Clarke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Chance of A Lifetime has a long list of adjectives to describe it. The characters are fun. The attraction is lethal and the story is off the charts. I LOVED IT. Gen is a courageous heroine that is lovable and inspiring. Finding out her limits is not easy when you have overprotective family and a disability but she still wants to live life to the fullest. Chance could stand to learn a few things from her. He has a heart of gold but has let guilt and shame dampen how he views his relationship with two important people in his life. Chance of a Lifetime is a story of bravery, forgiveness and the healing power of falling in love. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Release Date: November 16, 2015
SYNOPSIS
He broke all his rules... for her.
Real estate development CEO Blake Whitman is an Aquarius with a philanthropic nature, but when it comes to work, he's driven and focused, and he would never, ever mix business with pleasure. As far as he's concerned, office romance is off the table.
He also never backs down from a challenge, and Kira Layton just accused him of ruining the community. What better way to get her on his side than to hire her?
But the more he tells himself to keep his hands off his new, sexy secretary, the harder it is for him to come up with reasons why office romances never work and why it's a bad idea to cross the line...

Blake is a man who has business and the bottom line on his mind all the time. He thinks with his head and does not his feelings decide his actions. Kira is a person who cares about more than the ending balance on her bank account. She leads with her heart and her charity work proves that. Blurring The Lines is a look at what happens when two immovable forces collide. There was more to Blake than Kira realized. Marisa Cleveland's story of how preconceived notions can lead to passion and understanding. I received an ARC of this light hearted entertaining read.

TO DARE A SEAL (SIN CITY SEALS #2) BY SARA JANE STONE
Release Date: November 16, 2015
SYNOPSIS
A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...
One dare will bring him to his knees . . .
Playing best man in his teammate's Las Vegas wedding is not U.S. Navy SEAL Jack Barnes' idea of a vacation-especially when the maid-of-honor is the one woman who knows how to push his buttons. Now his teammates are taking bets on whether he'll end up in the fiery bartender's bed. Not one to turn away from a challenge, Jack vows to seduce Natalie Lewis. And he'll do so on his terms-demanding complete control.
The tantalizing SEAL may have a hand-over-your-panties smile and a body she'd love to explore, but there's no way Natalie's falling into his bed. No, she's going to get revenge. After bringing Jack to his knees with a series of Sin City dares, she'll walk away. It's the perfect plan-until it backfires. Beneath his devil-may-care attitude, Jack's unbridled desire proves irresistible. But he also requires the one thing Natalie can't give. Control.

REVIEW: TO DARE A SEAL (SIN CITY SEALS #2) BY SARA JANE STONE
To Dare A SEAL by Sara Jane Stone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
When I was presented with the opportunity to read the first book in the Sin City Seals series: To Tempt a Seal was the first time Natalie was introduced. To Tempt a Seal was her sister Lucia's and Natalie's best friend Cade's moving story. She was the protective older sister who unwittingly played matchmaker. In To Dare a Seal Natalie gets her own story. Natalie uses her touch girl persona as a shield. She feels deeply and struggles with guilt for not being able to protect her baby sister from the evil that she faced at an early age. Pain for how she lost her parents when she needed them most. Anger for the things in her life she has had no control over and irritation for the one person who will not let her wallow in self-pity. I liked Jack. Beneath the gruff and overtly sexual exterior he was a really sensitive guy. Natalie was his dream girl that he wanted for his reality. Sara Jane Stone has done a really good job with this series. I received an ARC of To Dare a Seal in exchange for an honest review. To Dare a Seal is heartbreaking, irresistible and sexy. I enjoyed every minute of this story.

TELL ME YOU NEED ME (SEARCH AND SEDUCE) BY JOYA RYAN
Release Date: November 16, 2015
SYNOPSIS
A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...
Playing dirty can be the best kind of fun…
Chloe Franklin wouldn’t call herself a commitment-phobe, so much as she’s allergic to anything long term. She loves the sexy, sweaty, and intensely hot hours of the night that come before the sun rises, though. Especially when those nights are spent with Search-and-Rescuer Gage McGraw...
Gage loves his job, but there is one thing he’s starting to like more than the rush of a mission—a stacked blonde with a mouth that haunts his dreams. Every time he steps foot in the sleepy town of Beaufort, he hooks up with Chloe. But he’s tired of hooks-ups. He wants more.
Just the sight of Gage gets Chloe's blood going. Hot, bothered, and finally naked, she’s ready for their night to start. But before he takes her, he whispers what his intentions really are…and then the games really begin.

COMPROMISING HER POSITION BY SAMANTHE BECK
Release Date: November 16, 2015
SYNOPSIS
A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...
He's not who she expected, but he's exactly the man she needs…
When Chelsea Wayne drags Santa into a supply closet for a little office party nookie, she assumes the man in the suit is her on-again/off-again coworker boyfriend. Instead, it's Rafe St. Sebastian, a man known for his hard-driving ways in business as well as the bedroom--and, kill her now, the brand spanking new owner of Las Ventanas--who grants her naughtiest Christmas wishes.
So much for her reputation, not to mention her career.
Rafe needs to close three acquisitions to prove to his father he's ready to take the helm of St. Sebastian Enterprises. A hot interlude in a supply closet after deal number two seems like the perfect illicit Christmas bonus. Unfortunately, when that "bonus" becomes the key to the final deal, he finds himself back in bed--so to speak--with Chelsea, and after their steamy tryst, he's not interested in keeping things professional…

Rafe and Chelsea need each other in more ways than one. Compromising Her Position is engaging and humorous. An all around good time.

Mistaken identity leads to hilarity, lust and romance. Nothing original. Has been done before but liked it none the less.

Release Date: November 16, 2015
SYNOPSIS
He'll do whatever it takes to get her against the boards…
Sidelined by a potentially career-ending injury, the only thing hockey player Ryan Douglas should be thinking about is recovery. But after sharing a near death experience and a night of passion with a spunky brunette, the only thing on his mind is five and a half feet of sexy sarcasm. And he'll do whatever it takes to get her back in his bed--even if it means playing dirty.
Chloe Jacobs is done with fairytales. And men. She's kissed her share of frogs and what's it gotten her? Dumped by text--again. Determined to eighty-six illusions of romance and prove she's more than just a good-time girl, the last thing she needs is a pushy, arrogant hockey player testing her resolve. Especially one who's sinfully good with his hands and thinks date-by-blackmail is a perfectly acceptable social convention.
Ryan wants to play games? Fine by her, but this is one faceoff he's going to lose.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
With The Hometown Hoax, Ms. Thurmeier composed a story that is somewhat idealistic but cute none the lest. This read reminded me of the saying " one person's junk may be another's treasure." Tessa saw Cutter's Creek for everything it lacked and was not. Maybe because it was her hometown and she wanted more than to be cut off from new experiences, new people and a different environment. Logan saw it in the opposite way because he had already experienced fast paced living and adventurous experiences. The Hometown Hoax is a story of perception, deception and distinguishing between the two. I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review.

I had two things in life that mattered. My mother and my music.
Mama was taken from me too soon, and now music is all I have left. It’s the thing that’s pushed me right out of backwoods Georgia into Los Angeles, where the line between fantasy and reality shimmers and blurs. I’m finally making my way, making my mark.

RHYSON
I had one thing in my life that mattered – music. The only constant, it’s taken me to heights most people only dream about; a gift dropped in my lap at birth. I thought it was enough. I thought it was everything until I met Kai. Now she’s all I think about, like a song I can't get out of my head. If I have to chase her, if I have to give up everything - I will. And once she's mine, I won't let go.

Kennedy Ryan is an author that is known for her first person account romances. That is something that I applaud her for. It allows the reader to get to know the characters and experience the story from the horse's mouth as it were. This makes the story more realistic for me. My Soul to Keep is the story of Kai and Rhyson. I am not going give a drawn out boring description of this story because it has to be read to experience just how exceptional it really is. I will say that Ms. Ryan travels though all the pain, anger, determination and struggles in order to allow the reader a better understanding of the hardships of each main character and the ambition and strength they have. For every heartbreak there is a ray of hope and I think that is what made this story what it is. MY Soul to Keep is inspiring but it also hits home.

THE IDEA OF YOU (RIBBON RIDGE #4) BY DARCY BURKE

Evan Archer has always preferred peace and solitude to the loud antics of his large, hard-to-navigate family. But when Archer Enterprises needs a new creative director, Evan jumps at the chance to claim the job he’s always wanted. Moving home is easier than he expected, but Evan isn’t prepared for the stunning A-list celebrity hiding out in his family’s garage apartment.
Following a major tabloid scandal, movie star Alaina Pierce escapes to Ribbon Ridge. She’s immediately drawn to the quiet, picturesque town and the incredibly sexy—if a little quirky—Evan. He may be built like a Greek god, but he’s honest and straightforward… so different from the Hollywood types she normally dates.
Their attraction is undeniable, but Alaina can’t elude the paparazzi forever, and Evan has no interest in being in the limelight. When the secret she’s been keeping is exposed, the idea of Evan—of real love and a family like the Archers—could vanish in an instant.

Evan is more of an introvert who never felt like he belonged within his big boisterous family. Alaina has the career and life she has dreamed of but is feeling smothered. The Idea of You is about making tough decisions, facing fears and paving a path right for yourself. Whenever I visit Ribbon Ridge it feels like the first time. Wonderful series.

CAMPAIGNING FOR CHRISTOPHER (THE BLUEBERRY LANE SERIES-THE WINSLOW BROTHERS #4) BY KATY REGNERY
Release Date: November 17, 2015
SYNOPSIS
Campaigning for Christopher is the fourth of four books about the Philadelphia-based, wildly-handsome Winslow brothers who are all on the lookout for love.
(Eeek. Oops. Except...no, they're not. Brooks has his Skye, Pres and Elise are happily married, and Cam and Meggie are scorching the earth at the Five Sisters. Hmm. That only leaves...)
Christopher Winslow, the youngest of the four Winslow brothers, was born with a silver spoon in his privileged mouth, which has made it difficult for him to establish his credibility in the fast-approaching congressional race. Working against the clock to assure Pennsylvania voters that he is forthright, trustworthy and able has been an exhausting challenge, but Christopher's chances at beating the incumbant look good.
Julianne Crow, a plus-size model struggling to make ends meet, jumps at the chance to make a little extra cash on the side. What does she have to do? Slip something into Christopher Winslow's drink and take some very naughty pictures with him.
But Christopher is nothing like Julianne expected, and when her actions sabotage his hard-earned campaign only a month before the election, her guilt is overwhelming. She offers Christopher her help in an effort to repair the damage she's caused, but can anything change the fact that he sees her as an opportunist and a mercenary? When she starts campaigning for Christopher, he may find out there's more to her than meets the eye.
Return to the world created in the English Brothers books with this fresh foursome of scorching hot Winslow Brothers!

REVIEW: CAMPAIGNING FOR CHRISTOPHER (THE BLUEBERRY LANE SERIES-THE WINSLOW BROTHERS #4) BY KATY REGNERY
Campaigning for Christopher by Katy Regnery
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
DON'T GET MAD, GET EVEN. When it comes to love the gloves come off. The one thing that Julianne and Christopher have in common is the ability to develop tunnel vision. Once they make a decision nothing can alter their focus. That skill can prove an essential asset when you have all the facts but fatal when based on hearsay. Julianne learned this the hard way. She let bias, anger and pride mislead her and wants to make amends, Where Julianne's pride influences her actions, Christopher's heart influences his. Trusting too easily may have cost Christopher everything he worked so hard to accomplish. A little luck, a lot of faith and a guardian angel may help make all Christopher's dreams come true. Campaigning for Christopher proved to be a real pistol in Katy Regnery's arsenal of stories. Neither Christopher or Julianne were willing to back down and that made the story hotter than any erotic novel. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

WILD BOYS AFTER DARK: HEATH BY MELISSA FOSTER
Release Date: November 17, 2015
SYNOPSIS
“If you’re interested in books with super-hot alpha males, ridiculously sexy heroines and need-to-take-a-cold-shower love scenes, this is the series for you!” Book Mama Blog
If raw emotions, cursing, dirty-talk, or intense, passionate sex that sometimes includes a silk tie, turn you off, then the After Dark books are NOT for you.
*NO CLIFFHANGERS*
Everything's naughtier after dark...
No last names. No strings. No ties.
Except of the silk variety.
Dr. Heath Wild and Allyson Jenner only wanted a simple tryst. But Heath couldn’t live with just one night, just one taste, of Ally—and Ally couldn’t escape the memory of his hands on her skin, the way he looked at her like she was his obsession, or his seduction, which had pushed her to the edge and had made her want to do things she never had before.
One night leads to one tantalizing phone call. Can one phone call lead to forever?

REVIEW: WILD BOYS AFTER DARK: HEATH BY MELISSA FOSTER
Heath by Melissa Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
With Heath, Ms. Foster created a story centered around people afraid to be vulnerable. Heath sense of self is the powerful to always be in control. Maybe the basis for that is centered around his career as a doctor or the lost of his parent which he had no control over. Ally is insecure, closed off and has difficulty trusting. Melissa Foster putting together a man with control issues and a woman with trust issues proved vital to the consensus of the story. One chance night, a sole encounter set them on the course to mending and finding the place each was meant to be. With each other. I received an ARC of Heath(Wild Boys After Dark #2) in exchange for an honest review. I have read both Logan and Heath so far. With personalities that are larger than life, sexiness that should be outlawed and hearts in need of TLC these Wild Boys are not to be missed.

REVIEW: DARE TO SEDUCE (DARE TO LOVE #8) BY CARLY PHILLIPS
Dare to Seduce by Carly Phillips
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
There are two things that I always expect from a Carly Phillips novel. A good story and a HOT read. I received an ARC of Dare to Seduce in exchange for an honest review.
The fact that it was a Dare story put my mind at ease. Her Dare family consists of stories that are not only sexy reads but have substance behind the characters and their wicked sex appeal. I liked Lucy and Max together. Lucy was a temptation that festered in Max's soul. Lucy was by no means a wide-eyed innocent but I think everyone underestimated her as a person. She was more than sweet helpless Lucy and I believe that is what she liked about Max. He was controlling and forced her out of her comfort zone. With Dare to Seduce Carly Phillips pushed boundaries but she did it to give a better understanding of her characters and that is what I found riveting.

12 Christmas Romances To Melt Your Heart by Catherine Gayle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I consider myself blessed to have been given a chance to enjoy a book that consists of such a wide range of authors and genres. Like a finely crafted puzzle each story in this anthology fits so well and flows so nicely that I could not pick just one. I loved them all.
Mistletoe Misconduct- Catherine Gayle shows that anything is possible. With a little bit of faith and a whole lot heart. And a little push doesn't hurt every now and then.
Marrying Mr. English- Katy Regnery sprinkles some holiday magic. As a fan of the English family I loved meeting Tom and Elenora. Seeing the events that started it all and the people who had a hand in creating it was spectacular. It's true miracles happen when you least expect.
It would be so easy for me to write down all the highlights of every story in this book, but I am not going to. 12 Christmas Romances will have an effect on even the most hard-hearted individual. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW: SINFUL LONGING (SINFUL NIGHTS #3) BY LAUREN BLAKELY
Sinful Longing by Lauren Blakely
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Being bad has never looked so good. Sinful Longing is my favorite to date within the Sinful Nights series. Elle and Colin weren't fooling anyone. Together they were sex on a stick. They pushed each other to experience new things and development more as a couple and as individuals. But it wouldn't be realistic if there were no problems to overcome. Outside forces such as long withheld secrets, insecurities and the arena of public opinion provided some major roadblocks. I received an ARC of Sinful Longing by Lauren Blakely in exchange for an honest review.

REVIEW: SINFUL (UNDONE #2) BY JENNIFER DAWSON
Sinful by Jennifer Dawson
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Jennifer Dawson has once again created characters that are unforgettably real. Leo and Jillian are their own worst enemies. The choices each makes leads down a toxic road of secrets, domination and mixed emotions. I received an ARC of Sinful in exchange for an honest review. I think Jillian was more in love with the idea and her fantasy of what being with Leo would be like more than the reality of what it all entailed. Leo has his own demons. His emotions can lead him to some very dark places. Sinful is full of misery, guilt and longing but it also will get a reaction from its readers. The turbulence and sultry vibe live up to it's title.
