THE SEDUCTION OF KINLEY FOSTER (WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS) BY LISA WELLS
Release Date: May 9, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Librarian Kinley Foster wants to write erotic romance—the steamy, sexy, curl-your-toes kind of stuff. The problem? She desperately needs a little erotic inspiration. And at a romance convention in Vegas, she finds it...or rather him. The sizzlingly sexy guy who refused Kinley—and her virginity—when she was sixteen.
Now it's time for a little payback.
Literary agent Ian Thompson is a professional. Mentoring an aspiring author is one thing. Giving her a thorough and thoroughly satisfying sexy education is quite another. Especially when she's as stunning and deliciously curvaceous as Kinley. Yet Ian can't help himself when Kinley makes him a wager he can't resist. A wager that will tempt Ian to cross every professional—and every sensual—boundary in the book...

REVIEW: THE SEDUCTION OF KINLEY FOSTER (WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS) BY LISA WELLS
The Seduction of Kinley Foster by Lisa WellsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The What Happens in Vegas novels are enjoyable reads for me. The writers, location and heat have cast an unbreakable spell on me. However, Ms. Wells takes the gold medal with The Seduction of Kinley Foster. There was not one scene that was not immensely funny. With a name like Kinley you know the story is going to be unique. When you add in the middle age sex toy peddlers it goes from rare to hilarious. I received a copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. A seductress in training from the man who broke her heart, to succeed in the most unlike of careers. Priceless!

REVIEW: BOTTLED BLUEGRASS (BOURBON SPRINGS # 7) BY JENNIFER BRAMSETH
Bottled Bluegrass by Jennifer BramsethMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mack is an easily identifiable character. Mack is made up of each and every member of the human race at one time or another. Attempting to make dreams a reality but hitting the requisite roadblocks along the way. Bottle Bluegrass takes me back to some of the most heartbreaking moments in my life however, it also yells out loud and clear "keep pushing forward". Success may not happen on the first try or in the way we want but that is the beauty of life. Expect the unexpected. I received an ARC of Bottled Bluegrass by Jennifer Bramseth in exchange for an honest review. Dreaming big allowed them something to work toward but the tunnel vision caused a disconnect from the blessings that had and for a while they lost sight of the important things. The Bourbon Springs stories are more sweet than sexy. There is a deeper meaning hidden in every love story that resonates in the heart even as the story ends.

MAYDAY (LOVESTRUCK LIBRARIANS) BY OLIVIA DADE
Release Date: May 10, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Passion Between The Stacks
Helen Murphy loves her supportive family, her close-knit circle of friends, and her part-time job at the library. What she doesn't love: the fact that she's a thirty-six-year-old near-virgin who lives in her parents' house. Eager to move out and reclaim her independence at long last, she's determined to get the library's new Community Outreach Coordinator position. Even if that means working side-by-side with the one man she desperately wants to avoid--Niceville's ambitious mayor Wes Ramirez, who happens to be her only previous lover, and the source of her greatest humiliation…
Wes needs to make up for his disastrous one-night--actually, make that one-hour--stand with deliciously nerdy librarian Helen. As they plan the city's upcoming May Day celebrations together, he'll try to prove he can do better, in bed and out. It may take every bit of his creativity and determination, but their budding romance has already gone down in flames once . . . and he'll be damned if he'll let Helen go a second time.

REVIEW: MAYDAY (LOVESTRUCK LIBRARIANS) BY OLIVIA DADE
Mayday by Olivia DadeMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The concept of the Lovestruck Librarians series is adorable. Reading is power and knowledge is sexy. Olivia Dade had found an interesting way to tackle a somewhat boring subject. I received an ARC of MayDay in exchange for an honest review. Wes and Helen were a couple not seen often in a romance. Despite the accomplishments each have had, they dwell on the failures instead. I find it easier to empathize with characters that have a few of my own quality traits. It's easier to see the faults in others instead of acknowledging them in oneself. Helen and Wes were mirror images of each other but allowed the insecurities to creep up and steal that feeling of euphoria from them. MayDay is cute, sexy, frustrating and honest. It's human.

In USA Today bestselling author Janice Maynard’s sweet and sexy new series, three childhood friends with a shared passion for the Outlander novels and TV show decide to travel to Scotland looking for adventure—and their very own Highland heroes…
Willow Ryman is as crazy about Scotland as her friends, but she’s on a tighter budget. So during their visit, she opts to stay at a shabby local hostel instead of a cozy B&B.

The Scotsman is everything she’s dreamed about. But he’s a blueblood, and she’s blue collar…

Wanting more and unwilling to let Willow slip away, he invites her to stay at his castle. But as the two fall hard and fast for each other, they’ll have to decide whether this is just a vacation fling—or a sexy Cinderella story come true…

Scot Of My Dreams by Janice MaynardMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Janice Maynard is an author I have read since I was sixteen. Her male characters are gruff, sexy and larger than life. They leave an impression. I received an ARC of Scot of My Dreams in exchange for an honest review. There's something about a guy with an accent that sends tingles up and down my spine. Is it worth traveling halfway around the world to find? Never say never. Willow is the type of person I want to be. She's loyal, adventurous and a dreamer. I find it enjoyable to escape the real world sometimes and get lost in a good romance. Bryce and Willow are the most adorable couple to live vicariously through.

Silent Hearts tells the story of evolving relationships. How people change due to circumstance, maturity and environment. Although understated, Nick and Becca are the spark that drives this story and his family is the match that sets it on fire. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. Family, love, friendship and business collide in this story of growth and heart.

Ken Hawkins might have cleaned up on the outside, but on the inside he’s still a bad boy from the ghetto who will never be good enough for Bethany. Keeping his distance is a lot easier when she’s not parading through his house wearing nothing but his sweatshirt. No matter how hard he tries to reform, he’s not a saint.

REVIEW: THE BAD BOY'S GOODNESS (THE BAD BOYS OF REGRET HOLLOW) BY SARA DANIEL
The Bad Boy's Goodness by Sara DanielMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The total sum of parts does not a bad person make. People should not be judged on the past but the actions made in the present. Sara Daniel has written a beautiful story about perception, mistakes and moving forward. The Bad Boy's Goodness is full of sauciness that is intermingled with moments of laughter and hints of pain. Sometimes all it takes is to step out of our own way. What that means is that a fresh pair of eyes, an open heart and a person that is not close to the situation can present that push and brighter outlook we all need. I received an ARC of The Bad Boy's Goodness in exchange for an honest review. The message made the story.

Lessons In Pleasure by Victoria DahlMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Victoria Dahl books I have read in the past have dealt in depth with more hearty story lines than this one. Sarah and James' story is about letting go of inhibitions and learning to connecting body, heart and soul. The subject matter was handled in a delicate yet provocative way. For the person who loves short, lustful stories this is perfect.
