REVIEW: THE RIGHT KIND OF GUY (WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS) BY KERRI LEIGH GRADY
The Right Kind of Guy by Kerri-Leigh GradyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Romance is the underdog of literary fiction. Many may not take the genre seriously, but the evidence doesn't lie, it's a juggernaut. Part of the reason why is because of the ability it has to branch out into other genres and deliver charming and mysterious characters Another reason is because the authors have no problem with making light of themselves. The Right Kind of Guy is the perfect prototype for romance. The cynical heroine brings humour to balance out the overly serious hero. A Vegas romance conference and an over the top romantic adventure make for hysterically tempting pleasure.

THREE SIMPLE WORDS (KINGSTON ALE HOUSE) BY A.J. PINE
Release Date: October 17, 2016
SYNOPSIS
She's holding out for a happy ever after.
Annie
I know where to find my happily ever after—between the pages of a romance novel. It’s why I sell books, why I blog about them, and why I’ll never get disappointed by love.
So what if my brother’s best friend from high school is now a bestselling author? Or that he just blew back into town on a Harley, filling out a pair of jeans like he never did before? Or that he’s agreed to do a signing at my bookstore on such short notice? Because despite all his adoring female fans, I kind of hated his book.
Wes
The last time I saw Annie Denning, she was a senior in high school, three years older than me and way out of my league.
Now I’m her last-minute date to a wedding, and what started as a night of pure fun has turned into something more real than either of us anticipated.
Annie is my muse. When I’m with her, my writer’s block fades away, and the words finally flow.
The only problem? She wants the fairy tale—her very own happily ever after—and anyone who’s read my book knows the truth. I just don’t believe they exist.

REVIEW: THREE SIMPLE WORDS (KINGSTON ALE HOUSE) BY A.J. PINE
Three Simple Words by A.J. PineMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Three Simple Words is a look at the differing points of view that men and women have on one subject, LOVE. Wes sees romance as a tempting way to make money and bag women. As the author of a gritty, sensual bestselling book Wes is living the dream. Sex, money and women are his for the taking, but with success comes the fear of not being able to keep the momentum going. Annie believes in rainbows and happily ever afters. Her blog and business pay homage to the fairytale. Her heart belongs to romance, her censure belongs to Wes' book and it's distortion of love. Three Simple Words revisits the theme: "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus in this light read. It's funny to see after so many years, some things never change.

HOW TO PLAY THE GAME OF LOVE (LADIES OF PASSION) BY HARMONY WILLIAMS
Release Date: October 17, 2016
SYNOPSIS
He’s everything she thinks she doesn’t want.
When Miss Rose Wellesley’s father threatens an arranged marriage, she knows she'd better settle on a choice quickly or end up having no say in who she marries. Fortunately, she's garnered a rare invitation to Lady Dunlop's "Week of Love" house party, an annual affair notorious for matchmaking. Her plans to expedite a proposal would go smoothly if not for the brash younger sister she must chaperone, her outspoken, disagreeable best friend, and the bullish Lord Hartfell who seems determined to dog her every step.
Lord Hartfell embodies every last thing Rose dislikes in a man. He’s domineering, tenacious, argumentative, and a little too casual with his nudity for her tastes. Worst of all, Rose can't seem to get him—or his kisses—out of her mind.
Rose is determined to find a more appropriate husband, even if her heart disagrees with how unsuitable the stubborn lord is…

ARC Review: How to Play the Game of Love (Ladies of Passion) by Harmony Williams
Harmony Williams and her cast of eccentric characters make for an amusing read. Told from Rose's point of view the reader is provided a glimpse into the heart of an independent minded women and her odd but lovable friends and family. Torn between what is expected of her and what she expects of herself, she has to decide what's more important. Listening to her heart or following the rules. Add in the mercurial chemistry between Rose and the wickedly frustrating Lord Hartfell and let the drama begin. I was more enamored of the secondary characters than the romance between Hartfell and Rose.

REVIEW: RENDEZVOUS (RENEGADES) BY SKYE JORDAN
Rendezvous by Skye JordanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC Review: Rendezvous (Renegades) by Skye Jordan
Rarely do I miss a chance to get my hands on a Skye Jordan novel. Emotional, appealing and spellbinding are the perfect description of the imaginative webs she spins with her alluring tales of triumph over tragedy. Her Renegades are easy on the eyes, potent to the soul and addictive to the hormones. These tall drinks of water may look fierce but looks can be deceiving. Temptation, Loyalty and Compassion are just as important to these alpha warriors. Rendezvous is the latest edition to the Renegades series. Keaton is renegade through and through. Dedicated to his friends but tough as nails when it counts.
Brooke's tenacious spirit and optimistic attitude has proven to be the biggest asset to her sometimes rocky life. Enter curveball. There is a haunting quality to Rendezvous. How far is to far to go in the name of love? Sacrifice, second chances and sensuality shouldn't go together but in Brooke and Keaton's case they mesh well. Actions speak louder than words and it was obvious that love lived here, motivating both parties.

REVIEW: THE SEXY ONE BY LAUREN BLAKELY
The Sexy One by Lauren BlakelyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Whenever I read a Lauren Blakely story, it is a reminder of just how talented she really is. Her ability to cunningly intersect storylines and wickedly entertain is amazing. All in the name of fun. In my mind there is nothing sexier than a father, especially one who has a daughter. His protectiveness, the understanding and devotion are written all over his face whenever he looks at his child. Ms. Blakely brought that sweetness to The Sexy One. The brilliance of the dual point of views gave a first hand glimpse into the hearts and minds of both characters and the sensual attraction that weighs heaven on their conscience. Like a moth to a flame, The Sexy One is hard to resist. So why try?

Wicked Rivals is a sensational battle of wills that proves to be as tempting as the mysteries surrounding it's key players. These rogues never make love easy do they? Danger is in their blood. Justice is in their hearts. Living on the edge is a family past time, maybe that's why the women they gravitate to sharp witted and electrifying. The complicated keeps these wickedly sexy men wanting more. Rosalind and Ashton are volatile personalities that know what they want and always have an agenda to get it. Neither wants to give up control on the business front and that makes for some heated exchanges on the personal front. The sensual exchanges, the mysterious scenarios and the larger than life characters make an equally explosive tale of intriguing romance.
