Note from the Author on the book's inspiration:

I wrote "Accept this Dandelion" in a silly, sleep-deprived mood and thought that was it. But the characters in the book kept coming back to me, begging me to continue the story. Eventually, I listened, turned the tables, put a woman in charge, and created "Dandelions on the Road." I got so much joy from writing it, I'm glad I did! Now I just hope those reading it get even half the pleasure I got from writing it.

And next from Brooke Williams....

REVIEW - Naughty King (A Sexy Manhattan Fairytale #1) by Michelle A. Valentine

The Book
Release Date: 14 March 2015
Goodreads Link

The King Always Gets His Way.
Women, business, pleasure: When I want it, I get it.
I’m never denied.
Including her.
I will break her. 
I will show her who the king of this city really is. 
The Feisty Princess of Manhattan will learn I am not a man that can be tempted.
No matter how fucking bad I want her in my bed.

Book one in a three part erotic romance series. Super naughty new series From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Michelle A. Valentine (Rock the Heart, Phenomenal X, Demon at My Door)

My Opinion  5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

Both Margo Buchanan and Alexander King like to get their own way, especially Alex.

Heads butt as Margo is currently Alexanders assistant, but she is also the daughter of the man who's company he is about to buy out.

The attraction between them however is strong, and all it takes is a trip to Las Vegas for that lust to be acted upon, and King's friend and business partner.  Yamada is funny and reminds me a little of the guy from The Hangover movies, a brilliant addition to the story.

This is the beginning of a steamy series and ends with a cliff hangar that really makes you want to read the next book and find out just what will happen next.

REVIEW - Her Accidental Husband (The Sorensen Family #2) by Ashlee Mallory

The Book
Release Date: 12 October 2015
Goodreads Link

Payton Vaughn’s trip to Puerto Vallarta for her friend's wedding was her big escape from her ridiculously overbearing mother–oh, and that little matter with her cheating fiancé. Now, her flight's been cancelled, and she's crammed into a tiny car with the gorgeous-but-irritating best man. 

Viva la road trip from hell...

Cruz Sorensen doesn't have time to babysit some spoiled socialite, even if she is the future daughter-in-law of the man who could change the fortune of his family's company. He has no business getting to know her better—not even for all the tequila in Mexico...until they wake up with grande-sized hangovers as man and wife. 

Now Payton and Cruz must decide if they've reached the end of their journey...or the beginning of a new adventure.

My Opinion  4 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing LLC, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This was a fun read and the initial story is spread over three days where the main characters are travelling to Mexico for a wedding.

Payton was amazing and is going to see her BFF Kate married to Dominic, the brother of Cruz who is travelling with her.

Although i did not find an initial connection between them, you certainly do once their trip continues via car.

Its a light read, clean and sweet and effortless to read. I found myself turning page after page without realising how much i had read.

Certainly a good read and I would recommend it.

BLOG TOUR (Review & Excerpt) - The Fifteenth Minute (The Ivy Years #5) by Sarina Bowen

The Book
Release Date: 13 October 2015
Goodreads Link

Freshman Lianne Challice is known to millions of fans as Princess Vindi. But sometimes a silver screen sorceress just wants to hang up her wand, tell her manager to shove it, and become a normal college student. Too bad that’s harder than it looks.

She’s never lived a normal life. She hasn’t been to school since kindergarten. And getting close to anyone is just too risky — the last boy she kissed sold the story to a British tabloid.

But she can’t resist trying to get close to Daniel "DJ" Trevi, the hot, broody guy who spins tunes for hockey games in the arena. There's something haunting his dark eyes and she needs to know more.

DJ's genius is for expressing the mood of the crowd with a ten second song snippet. With just a click and a fade, he can spread hope, pathos or elation among six thousand screaming fans.

Too bad his college career is about to experience the same quick fade-out as one of his songs. He can't get close to Lianne, and he can't tell her why. And the fact that she seems to like him at all? Incredible.

EXCERPT

Lianne Challice is chatting me up.

As I fetch the pizza I ordered from the window, I try to decide whether or not I’m going insane. Maybe all the stress in my life has finally cracked me.

But no. When I deposit the pie on a table, her big eyes cut from the jukebox over to me, before darting away again. She is so freaking cute and so feminine that it’s making me crazy. Her mouth is like a little red candy that I’m dying to taste. And who has teeth that straight? She intimidates the fuck out of me, to be honest.

I make another trip to the pizza counter for paper plates and napkins. Usually we just grab slices off the tray like animals. But tonight I’m trying to be classy. The idea makes me snicker to myself. As if. Impressing Lianne Challice isn’t something I’m capable of. But I’m having fun trying. And there hasn’t been a whole lot of fun in this year for me. So that’s something.

Years from now I’ll look back on this night and laugh. Guys, did I ever tell you about the time I chatted up a movie star? I mean, my father is still telling people about the time he sat one table over from Tina Fey at Nobu.

Lianne sneaks another glance in my direction and I beckon to her. “Have a slice?” If she wants one, now is the time. In a minute my brother and his teammates will fall on the pizza like seagulls.

“Thank you. I guess I should. I didn’t make it to the dining hall tonight.”

“Your enthusiasm for Capri’s pizza overwhelms me,” I tease. “Aren’t you a fan?”

She slides a slice onto a paper plate, considering the question. “Pizza is like a nineties hit. Pretty good, especially if that’s all there is and you’re hungry.”

My own slice stops halfway to my mouth and I laugh. “Seriously?”

“What?”

“I don’t know if we can be friends,” I say before taking a bite.

“Because I don’t love pizza?”

I shake my head. “Who doesn’t love pizza? It’s, like, a basic human desire.” I cram a bite into my mouth to prove my point. Smooth, right?

She bites her bottom lip, and I realize I’d rather have that for dinner. “It’s okay. But it’s mostly just something you eat when you’re in a hurry or need to feed a crowd on the cheap.”

“Ah, I see,” I say when I can speak again. “The problem is that you haven’t had any great pizza. You’re a freshman, right? You don’t know all the glory that is Harkness pizza. Have you been to Gino’s Apizza?”

Lianne shakes her head. “I don’t think so.”

“She doesn’t think so,” I scoff. “Baby, if you’d had great pizza, you’d remember.” And now I sound like a real perv, but Lianne Challice is smiling at me, watching me with her big doe eyes, and I feel it like a drug. “They make everything from scratch. Even the sausage. We’ll go together, so I can prove my point.”

Annnd I think I just asked a movie star out on a date. Here comes the crash and burn.

First her eyes widen just a smidge. Then two pink spots appear on her face, one on either cheekbone. “Well, it would be a shame to live in this town and never know its true pizza greatness.”

I replay that sentence in my head and realize that she didn’t turn me down. “True,” I agree. “Do you think Thursday would be a night to experience pizza Nirvana?” I’m overselling the hell out of Gino’s now, but it’s working for me.

She gives me a serious frown, and I’m hoping she’s not busy on Thursday. Because I have back-to-back hockey games to DJ on Friday and Saturday. “Thursday it is. I shall prepare to be amazed.”

My Opinion  5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is another brilliantly written book by Sarina and lots of the previous characters also have cameo roles, especially Bella.

Daniel Trevi (known to everyone as DJ) is having a tough year and meeting Lianne is the bright spark he never knew he was missing.  They both have a geeky side, and DJ is very sweet and is always there for Lianne when she needs him.

Lianne is quiet shy and struggles to say what she really wants, and she wants DJ.  Just their first conversation together has her constantly thinking about him.  Just as DJ is there for her, Lianne is there for him as he also needs someone in his corner.

The book sucks you in and time just flies as you turn page after page, watching just how things unfold and what little twist is going to come next.

I really hope that Orsen gets a HEA and it's with the girl he just can't forget.

Although it's part of a series, you can read this as a stand alone book, however to appreciate some of the other characters parts, it is better to read the series in order.

About Sarina Bowen

REVIEW - You Are Mine (Nine Circles #3) by Jackie Ashenden

The Book
Release Date: 6 October 2015
Goodreads Link

In the Nine Circles Club, there's a fine line between pleasure and pain, sin and salvation, heaven and hell. And it takes one bold pair of lovers to cross it...

He's master of the game.
Zac Rutherford is one of the most powerful and sought-after men in New York's private club scene. Masterful and demanding, he attracts beautiful women willing to surrender to his every whim, every desire, and every command. But Zac is in love with one woman, and one woman only. She is his true passion-and sole obsession. A glorious angel in the flesh...who refuses to be touched by any man.

She doesn't play by the rules.
Eva King owes her life to Zac. Seven years ago, he rescued her from darkness. Still, in spite of her attraction to Zac, she refuses to allow any man to touch her body, let alone her heart. But when a dangerous enemy from Eva's past reappears, Zac is the only one who can save her-if she's willing to bare her soul, shed her inhibitions, and surrender control...to him.

My Opinion  5 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

We do get a lot of answers in this book and the continuance of all the characters putting the pieces together in finding out, not only more about each other, but more about the trafficking scene they are all affected by.

Zac and Eva have been friends for seven years and never once has there been any touching or sharing of their pasts.  That all changes in this book when not only do they end up sharing their pasts, but Zac forces Eva into touch and into admitting that she is afraid.  He uses his Dom ways to make her open up and admit things to herself and to him.

The book also touches on Elijah and leads into the next book, but leaves many questions about Elijah open.

another great book from Jackie Ashenden.

REVIEW - Enraptured: Book Three in the Enslaved Trilogy (Enslaved Trilogy #3) by Shoshanna Evers

The Book
Release Date: 10 June 2013
Goodreads Link

The stunning conclusion to the red-hot Enslaved erotica trilogy finds a curious young beauty baring more than her skin…Lovely, blonde, and young, Jessica accepted a job at New York’s most exclusive BDSM nightclub to make ends meet...and to satisfy her curiosity. Nobody is more intriguing than the BAD boys—Billionaire Arrogant Doms—a trio of unbelievably rich and sexy men. Jessica willingly gets involved with the group, shedding her formerly shy persona to explore the limits of her own desire. But she isn’t sure how vulnerable she wants to be...until the one BAD Boy who never wants to fall in love again—the gorgeous, passionate, and unexpectedly tender Roman—takes an interest in her, and Jessica finds herself drawn deeper into his world than she ever expected.

My Opinion  4 STARS
This is the last book in the series and finally focuses on Roman and the new waitress at Whippersnapper Jessica.

Roman continues to be on the moody side, however we do see straight away that Jessica brings out a lighter side from Roman.

At the beginning it was not clear whether Elisabeth or Lauren were warning Jessica off or helping Roman to get over Elisabeth, however Jessica's innocence was quite sweet, but not over done.

Roman starts still thinking he is in love with Elisabeth, but it takes a very long time to realise what it really is and own up to the new feeling that he has for the younger girl Jessica.

You have to have read the books in order to understand the relationships between the friends and their partners, otherwise some of the meaning would be lost.

A good ending for the series.

REVIEW - Enamored: Book Two in the Enslaved Trilogy (Enslaved Trilogy #2) by Shoshanna Evers

The Book
Release Date: 13 May 2013
Goodreads Link

The second original eBook in the red-hot Enslaved trilogy begins with a dangerous bet that turns good friends into exquisite lovers. Billionaire BAD Boy Marc Wilde has never met a woman who could fulfill his every need...until he takes his good friend and fellow dominant Mistress Lauren up on a dangerous bet—a bet where she ends up as his sex slave for a week. Can a Dominatrix fall in love with a Dom? Only if she can find a way to submit to Marc’s every desire and be happy about it. Lauren has her doubts…but the flirtation, the friendship, and the sex might be too much for either to resist…

My Opinion  4 STARS
This is another great book in this series.

It focuses on Marc and his Domme friend Lauren who get together after a bet goes in Marc's favour.

Marc was the least known to us us after book one, but he does seem to be the funniest and full of respect for both his submissive and his friends.

The romance is good, the compromises when required is good and he is not afraid to ask for advice from his friends, of which never steal him wrong.  They too are always there for him, as we see he is there for them.

This book takes place over a period of just one week, and because its a friends to lovers story, things happen a lot faster.

Another really good read from Shoshanna Evers!

REVIEW - Enslaved (Enslaved Trilogy #1) by Shoshanna Evers

The Book
Release Date: 8 April 2013
Goodreads Link

From a red-hot erotica writer comes an original eBook—a sensual romp across the playgrounds of the unbelievably rich and extremely sexy.Elisabeth Anderson has seen Trevor and his friends at the infamous Manhattan BDSM club WhipperSnapper, where everyone calls them the BAD Boys, for “Billionaire Arrogant Doms.” The BAD Boys—Trevor Brooks, Marc Wilde, and Roman Chase—are aptly named; they’ve made money hand over fist due to their aggressive investing at the Brooks Wilde Chase Fund. These guys are so rich they can get away with anything, or so the rumors go.

Trevor gives Elisabeth full reign of his estate in Westchester, letting her do as she pleases. He has only two rules. Rule One: she must obey and submit to him while she is living in his house. Rule Two: always answer the blue cell phone. She’s happy to oblige, because being with Trevor makes her want to obey, to love him the way he seems to be falling for her. But Elisabeth’s never been good at being the quiet sub; she's feisty and gets off on the punishments more than she does by pleasing Trevor.

Elizabeth can’t submit to Trevor the way he needs her to, so his friend and business partner (and fellow BAD Boy) Roman takes her in hand. But love triangles can have sharp edges...and somebody’s bound to get hurt.

My Opinion  3.5 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Gallery, Threshold Pocket Books, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

At first. Elisabeth seems quite a weak person as she is unable to make a decision without Gregory's input. It stays very safe on the BDSM lifestyle, giving you a glimpse with Elisabeth being a pain lover.

The story is told mainly from Elisabeth's POV, however we do get some from Trevor and a few appearances from Gregory which I don't think was really needed.

The passing of time passes fairly quickly, however sometimes it's hard to realise how fast it has gone.

I really did not feel Elisabeth's struggle to choose between Trevor and Roman and the ending felt a little rushed.

However saying all of the above, I did really enjoy the story and i'm looking forward to Roman getting a HEA.

REVIEW - My Stepbrother the Groom: A Romantic Comedy (Lexi's Sexy Romantic Comedy Series Book 1) by Lexi Maxxwell

The Book
Release Date: 23 March 2015
Goodreads Link

He'd be perfect if he wasn't getting married … and if he wasn't about to become her stepbrother. Romantic humor has never been so deliciously tempting. It's been a rough day for Ella Roberts. 

First, her social-climbing mother Valerie dragged her to yet another wedding -- something that always reminds Ella that real life offers few happily-ever-afters. 

Second, Valerie's goal isn't to have fun at the event, but to schmooze clients for the family wedding business that Ella’s hated forever. 

And third (after too much wine, and being mocked by her black sheep sister for "letting Mom bind you with her bitch chains"), Ella gets a text from her latest disposable boyfriend, Chase: NOT WORKING OUT. SORRY. I HAVE YOUR GYM SHOES. 

But things are finally looking up. The handsome, charming, successful man Ella meets at the bar fills her with flutters and makes everything better. Gazing into Nathan Hayes's kind blue eyes, Ella can almost believe that love at first sight is true after all. 

It's too bad that in just two months, Ella's mother will be marrying Nathan's father … in a double wedding with Nathan and his fiancee Natasha. 

She should run from her feelings for Nathan. She should back away and find a new mediocre man to amuse her. But Ella’s been unlucky in love too many times to ignore what she feels … and so for Ella, "taboo" turns to "game on" instead. 

This romantic comedy about love, temptation, and the desires that drive us is the first humorous contemporary romance from Lexi Maxxwell, author of La Fleur de Blanc, Together Apart, A Temptation in Time, and many more. This tale's romantic humor is spot on … and will keep you longing, laughing, and turning the pages in time with your quickly beating heart. 

My Opinion  2 STARS

**My thanks to NetGalley and Sterling & Stone, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is the first time in a long while that i have had to stop reading a book, and I really like the write up for this book as it really sounded like my kind of read.

Ella really annoyed me.  Yes there are a few funny moments, but she never really acted her age and the internal dialogue really, again, annoyed me.  I also do not like anyone trying to break up what is a happy relationship for their own gain.

Nathan did not appeal to me either, he was just plain boring, so I didn't see what Ella saw in him.

The book is only told from Ella's POV and may have been improved should we have had Nathan's POV and made him little more interesting.

I certainly will not be reading any more in this series.

fugly, a USA TODAY BESTSELLER from Mimi Jean Pamfiloff

UGLY IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER...

My name is Lily Snow. I am twenty-five years old, and despite being born with an unattractive face, I have never doubted who I am: smart, driven, and beautiful on the inside.

Until I met Maxwell Cole.

He's handsome, excessively wealthy, and the owner of Cole Cosmetics. It's been my dream to work for this man for as long as I can remember. The good news is he wants to hire me. The bad news is he wants me for all the wrong reasons. Ugly reasons.

In exchange, he's offered me my dreams on a silver platter. The job. The title. A beautiful future. But this man is as messed up and ugly as they come on the inside. I'm not sure anyone can help him, and he just might take my heart down with him

Excerpt

“Lily Snow?” I heard a woman call my name.

I looked over at the slender, gorgeous redhead, not much older than me, wearing a fitted blue dress and strappy blue heels. Her smoky, mascara-caked eyes scanned the nearly empty lobby, looking right over my head.

“Hi. I’m Lily Snow.”

Her eyes fell on my face with a spark of shock she quickly tried to conceal. “You’re…Miss Snow?”

I gave her a quick nod.

“Oh,” she said stiffly. “Don’t you have lovely hair.”

Her comment was what I liked to call a “conscience clearer.” It was when someone realized they just acted like a coldhearted ass and then quickly tried to make it up to me with a compliment. Usually about my long, wavy blonde hair or my “cute little body.”

I stood from my chair and extended my hand. “Thanks. I’ll trade my hair for your shoes. Your Manolos are to die for.” They were a limited release made just for Oscar season. Very expensive.

My shoes, for the record, were Franco Sarto heels I’d found on clearance at The Rack, black and simple, just like my pencil skirt and blouse. I would’ve loved to wear something more expensive, but the job I’d been in—a one-year consulting project at B&H Cosmetics—was for the experience rather than a big paycheck. I could’ve done better, but I’d had my sights on C.C., and I knew Mr. Cole, the owner, worked at B&H right after college.

I’m on your heels, big man.

A little smile popped on the redhead’s face. “My boyfriend got them for me,” she said, doing a little pivot to show off the shoes. “He works for Babs Levine.”

Uh. Wow. Babs was the world’s top formal dress designer, who once worked for some of the biggest names in fashion before going out on her own. She practically owned the red carpet this last season.

“Well,” I smiled, “if you ever get tired of your boyfriend, I’m single.”

She laughed so loud her voice echoed off the sterile-looking walls of the lobby. “I don’t think so.”

I wasn’t sure if she’d meant she’d never give the guy up or that he’d never go for me in a million years.

Both. Definitely both. I didn’t take offense, though. I’d made the comment to break the ice, and it worked. She introduced herself as Keri and became all smiles and warm chatter on the elevator ride up. I liked her immediately.

REVIEW - Chasing Jane by Noelle Adams

The Book

Release Date: 23 September 2015

Goodreads Link

My mother named me Jane after Jane Austen--or maybe Jane Eyre. She said either one would do. With a name like Jane, I might not be a beauty queen or the most popular girl in the room, but I would be smart and strong and make good decisions.

I guess I've mostly lived up to my name.

My mother died before we could go on our trip to England to visit all of the best Jane-spots, so I'm going with my best friend instead. That's Nate. He's sweet and funny and adorable, and we've known each other since kindergarten. In fact, he was almost my stepbrother until my mom and his dad broke up. But don't get the wrong idea about him. It's never been romantic between us.

At the moment, I'm crazy about this mystery guy I've been talking to on a dating site, and he's nothing like Nate at all. I don't know why I'm suddenly finding Nate so attractive, and I don't know why he has started acting kind of strange.

Anyway, this is my Jane trip, and I've been waiting for it all my life.

My Opinion  5 STARS

**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is a light and fluffy novella and delivers what you expect from a friends to lovers story.  Its is also exactly what I needed to read after a long day looking after my twins.

The book is only five chapters long and covers two days, but its sweet and fun is is the perfect read to relax to of an evening when you don't have too much time.

It may have taken my two days to get through, but ordinarily i think it would only take an hour of two.

I continue to love all of the books from this author.

ROCK THE BEGININING (Black Falcon Prequel) Full Story

My Opinion  5 STARS
In this very small novella we get to see a snippet of Lane and Noel before the split and before Black Falcon took off making Noel famous.

We see the innocent kids they were as they start their romance from friends, to the end of their senior year.

Just four short chapters, two from Lane's point of view and the last two from Noel's point of view.

Certainly worth reading before you start the series.

**My thanks to NetGalley and Month9Books, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

It took me a long time to get through this book, purely because I got bored reading it and that the whole book stayed dark.

Quinn annoyed me as never once had she spoken to anyone about what she had seen, neither had she spoken to a doctor about not sleeping, a fact that very quickly forgotten. I also didn't like the way that she kept pushing those around her away that tried to help.

Aaron also annoyed me. I couldn't really identify with him or Quinn and we really didn't get that much time to identify them as a couple.

To be honest i ended up speed reading through this at 50% as it was taking so long to read and i just wanted to finish it.

There is a cliff hangar ending, however i have no intention of reading the second book in the series
