“I told you not to do that,” he said, a lustful look of intensity in his eyes...
Winthrow Financial. The fastest growing firm on Wall Street, and I had been lucky enough to land a job there right out of college.
Despite being the youngest woman on the floor, I quickly made waves in the company. Even the CEO, Carter Winthrow, took notice of my mathematical skills. When he came to meet me personally, he also took notice of my body as well.
Within days, I was promoted to Carter's personal assistant, second guessing his stock moves and checking his managers' work. While the job itself was fantastic, the best part was getting to work with Carter himself. The suave and sexy billionaire playboy managed to exude charm and confidence every time we spoke. And as I proved myself great at the job again and again, he became more and more comfortable with me.
As I saw him giving to charities and holding his niece, I realized he was the ultimate alpha male. Those strong, chiseled abs and huge arms was all that the “Sexiest Bachelor” lists saw, but I saw the real man. A family man, just waiting for someone to give him that family.
I knew that what I wanted, more than this job, more than a career, more than life itself, was Carter's to give. I would do anything to get Carter to give it to me. And I had a feeling that he felt the same way. He wanted to give me something that would keep us together for the rest of our lives.
A baby.
My Opinion 3 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This is a very quick read as this is a novella series for a book.
The story moves very fast as a young twenty something seems to find that what she really wants to be is a mother when she has only just started her first full time job after college. She wants a baby with the playboy billionaire CEO Cater Winthrow.
What annoys me is that there is no mention of contraception between the two, however we already know that Jane is no going to ask for any GRRRRR. STD's anyone? It is more than stupid, but i couldn't help but get swept up in the story, i just now have to wait until the other novella's come out to finish the story.

REVIEW - Relinquish (Balm in Gilead Book 1) by Noelle Adams
The Book
Release Date: 10 May 2017
Goodreads Link
She was supposed to be taking a break from work to rethink her future. She wasn't supposed to be falling in love with her boss.
He was supposed to be resting at a beachside retreat and unwinding from the stress of his job. He wasn't supposed to be wanting her in ways that had nothing to do with the job.
Betsy has worked with John Davenport for four years, and she's always been an efficient, practical member of his crisis response team. He might be brilliant, attractive, and good-hearted, but he's also driven, rather grumpy, and emotionally unavailable. Plus, he's never looked at her with any interest other than a friend and co-worker. No one has ever really been interested in her. She's never been the kind of woman that men fall for.
No matter how much she loves her job with an international relief organization, she knows she can't do it forever. But as soon as she begins thinking toward a different future, John starts to respond to her in a completely new way.
Maybe it's just a temporary feeling, prompted by some much needed downtime. Or maybe they've had more in their hearts than they've ever admitted.
Relinqiush is the first book in the Balm in Gilead series, a spin-off from the Willow Park series about couples who fall in love in a physical and spiritual rest center on the North Carolina coast called Balm in Gilead.
My Opinion 4 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This is a spin off of the Willow Park series which i loved and this no doubt will become another series that i love.
Both of these series loosely originate along the christian faith and the couples doubts and struggles as they find their way through their own troubles and into a happy and successful relationship with both God and a spouse.
John and Besty have been working together as colleagues abroad for years, but are taking a sabbatical, of which John's is forced.
Betsy is strong and has to tell John that he has been duped, but it does not take very long out of their normal lives that things start to change in the way they see each other and the way they start to treat each other.
This is another solid book and i was really happy that we got to see some of the characters from the Willow Park series in the book, long may it continue.
Can't wait for the other books to come out!

REVIEW - Single Mom Wanted for Fake Marriage (A Billionaire Romance) by Aubrey Dark
The Book
Release Date: 1 May 2017
Goodreads Link
“I need a wife.”
William Fawkes is desperate. With one month left before his father's inheritance gets split, the billionaire realizes that his brothers will end up with the majority of the company he's been running. Unless he finds someone to inherit the spousal shares...
“Marry me, or go to jail.”
Sierra's dad taught her how to be a thief: Get in and get out with more than you came with. But while cracking a safe, she gets caught red-handed by a gorgeous, half-dressed billionaire.
He has her pinned, literally and figuratively, when he offers her a deal: a fake marriage in exchange for his silence. It's an easy decision, and all she has to do is pretend to be a billionaire's wife for one year. How could it go wrong?
“I'm good at faking things.”
There's no way William could fall in love with a thief, especially not one with a two-year old maniac toddler. It's just pretend, after all. Right?
But sometimes pretending to love someone leads to something more. More than one delicious kiss. More than an unforgettable night. And when Sierra's ex comes back into the picture and threatens to ruin their arrangement, William has to decide whether he is willing to lose everything to keep the thief who's stolen his heart...
My Opinion 2.5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
I really wanted to to like this book, the description captivated me and i liked the front cover, but the story itself, just didn't do it for me in the end.
Things moved just a a little too fast, there were too many silly secrets between the two, or lies that you just knew straight away that were going to come between the two and bite them in the butt.
The characters themselves were well rounded and we got a good backstory in order that we could understand them a little better, i just wish that they hadn't been quite so stupid about things.

Dark, tortured, and intimidating, these dominant billionaires will steal their innocent heroines' breath away. Overwhelmed by their desire to control their world, they push their heroines to explore their deepest desires. But even the most unworldly of heroines can unlock these billionaires' secrets.
Nero de Santis: Damaged. Bastard. Beast.
Nero hasn’t left his house in ten years—he demands the world come to him, and the world is only too happy to bend to the strong-willed billionaire. Ruthless, cold, and selfish, Nero wants for nothing and takes care of no one but himself. His last handful of assistants have left his house in tears, but the prim redhead applying for the job looks up to the task. Nero has spent his life shut within the walls he built, with no care to have more than a window to the outside world. But the fiery passion he senses beneath his reserved assistant’s exterior makes him want to break down the barriers he lives behind, and unleash the beast within.
Phoebe Taylor: Uptight. Misunderstood. Engaged.
Phoebe needs the obscene amount of money that comes with being Nero’s personal assistant for one thing, and one thing only—to pay for the mounting hospital costs that her fiancee’s two-year coma continues to incur. She’s heard rumors that the de Santis beast is a force that cannot be tamed—but even she isn’t prepared to handle the smoldering intensity simmering beneath his hard shell of feral dominance. Nero is hiding something, something he is fighting with every step he takes. Yet he can’t help but stake his claim on this woman who has shaken up his life, and Phoebe can’t believe this animal of a man is the one person to ever look into her eyes and see her soul. Nero wants to keep her. He wants to devour her. And Phoebe just might let him.

REVIEW - The Perfect Illusion by Winter Renshaw
The Book
Release Date: 4 April 2017
Goodreads Link
It’s only pretend…
And it’s only three months.
I’m in the midst of scrawling “I QUIT!” onto his fancy cardstock letterhead when my boss corners me. He needs a favor, he says. And then he asks how well I can act …
Hudson Rutherford needs a fiancée.
With his old-moneyed parents forcing him to marry some bratty hotel heiress and his hedonistic, playboy lifestyle at stake, the only way to get them to back off is to make them think he’s truly, madly, deeply in love … with me—his third personal assistant this year.
But I can hardly stand working for him as it is.
Hudson is crazy hot and well-aware. He’s arrogant, spoiled, and silver-spooned. He checks me out when he thinks I’m not looking, and his life is a revolving door of beautiful women. Plus, he can’t even pronounce my name correctly—how’s he going to convince his family he’s in love with me?!
I’m seconds from giving him a resounding “no” when he flashes his signature dimpled smirk and gives me a number that happens to contain a whole mess of zeroes …
On second thought, I think I can swallow my pride.
But, oh baby, there’s one thing I haven’t told him, one teensy-tiny thing that could make this just a hair complicated …
Here’s hoping this entire thing doesn’t explode in our faces.
My Opinion 3.5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This is a book in where you can tell quite quickly that there is going to be a blow up between both characters as their is a major secret held back by Mari that should have been mentioned right from the beginning.
The characters are well rounded, but you have the arrogant, hot millionaire/billionaire alpha male Hudson with our strong leading lady Mari who initially cant stand Hudson.
The chang in demeanour from Hudson comes quite rapidly along with the change in feelings from Mari, which can give a feeling of whiplash.
Sometimes things felt a little unbelievable, but then this is fiction and not real life. I especially thought the friendship baby angle was a bit weird, but i guess it does happen.

REVIEW - Schooled (Taboo 101, #1) by Havana Scott
The Book
Release Date: 1 April 2017
Goodreads Link
I’ve never had the Big O.
Not with a bad boy. Not with a good guy. Not on a train. Not in the rain. Not with a pillow, shower massager, pocket rocket, XL extra-veined d*ldo, Ben-Wa balls, rabbit thruster, diamond glider, bionic bullet, remote control vibrating panties—nothing.
You can say I’m frustrated.
So when I enroll in Human Sexuality my sophomore year, it’s with the hope that I might discover what I’m doing wrong. Turns out it’s who I’m NOT doing that’s the problem.
He walks into the classroom—trimmed pants, tight ass, folded-up sleeves, wide chest, blue eyes, Clark Kent glasses. Older. Hot. I pray to the climax gods that he sit next to me and become my new study buddy. Instead, he sets his briefcase down and begins to write on the board in big bold letters: Dr. MacKenzie -- “Welcome to Human Sexuality 101.”
And I’ve never loved college more. Teach me, Professor. I’m listening.
** This younger woman/older man standalone in the Taboo 101 Novels does not contain cheating. It does, however, contain an HEA and will melt your panties off. You have been warned.
My Opinion 5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
Sabine is a 20 year old student who took human sexuality in college for one purpose only. To figure out why she has never been able to orgasm yet.
When her current teacher is taken ill and replaced by the uber hot Dr Liam MacKenzie the whole class takes a different turn and Sabine finds herself pulled into an attraction that is instantly felt by both of them.
The chemistry between the two leaps of the pages and the sex scenes scorch the pages they are that hot. Liam gives Sabine private lessons in order that she can let go and discover herself better, however both learn things from the other and it is Liam that ends up having to learn the most.
A really hot, fast paced read that had me turning page after page until i realised that the book was, unfortunately, finished.
I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series.

REVIEW - Confessions of a Former Puck Bunny (Taking Shots #4) by Cindi Madsen
The Book
Release Date: 8 May 2017
Goodreads Link
Confession #1: I used to be a puck bunny, but after a hockey player broke my heart, I gave up all things hockey. Now I'm just focused on finding a way to pass my math class so I can graduate college.
Confession #2: Ryder "Ox" Maddox's deep, sexy voice sends fuzzy tingles through my entire body, and I'm powerless to stop it. Which is a big problem since the hot, surprisingly funny hockey player is my new math tutor.
Confession #3: I can't stop thinking about how ripped Ryder is from all his hockey training, and how fun it'd be to cross lines with him.
Confession #4: I kissed a hockey player and I liked it.
Confession #5: If I'm not careful, I might relapse and fall for Ryder, and then I'll be totally pucked.
My Opinion 3.5 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing LLC Publishing, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This book is told from both points of view and is the forth book in the series, however as i have not read any of the other books can confirm that it can be read as a stand alone book.
Lindsey has been hurt by a former boyfriend and has therefore sworn off Hockey players (a kryptonite of hers) and it seems of having fun. After a year and with Ryder thrown into the mix, her resolve starts to unravel.
Ryder may be a few years younger than her, but he makes up for it in other ways, and when he has his sight set on something, he usually gets it, and he WANTS Lindsey.
Its a fun read, that had me smiling often and really feeling sorry for Lindsey when things go a little pear shaped.
Another sports romance that seems to have become a favourite of mine.

REVIEW - Down to Puck (Buffalo Tempest Hockey #2) by Sylvia Pierce
The Book
Release Date: 19 April 2017
Goodreads Link
“No touching, beautiful. I warned you. Tonight, I’m only using my mouth.”
As the NHL’s sexiest, surliest bad boy, Kyle “Henny” Henderson basically wrote the book on awkward morning-afters. But nothing prepares him for the hat trick of waking up naked, hungover, and hard as hell with his face between a luscious pair of breasts he doesn’t recognize…
Because those soft, oh-so-lickable curves belong to his completely off-limits best friend.
After a devastating breakup, Bex Canfield moved home to Buffalo to put her life back together, not cause another train wreck. But that was before. Before the hockey fight that led to Henny’s suspension that led to the tequila that led to… Oh, God.
Bedroom? Trashed. Dignity? Obliterated. Best friend? He’s… wow. Seriously packing.
Looks like last night was one to remember, but neither of them has a clue what happened. So maybe they should try it one more time—sober—just to get it out of their systems. Okay, two more. Three tops. Because nothing says train wreck like a wild, uninhibited, toe-curling, wall-banging sexcapade with your oldest friend…
Except for maybe falling in love.
Down to Puck is a hilarious best-friends-to-fuck-buddies-to-enemies-to-lovers standalone hockey romance that’s so hot, when it’s over, YOU’LL need a cigarette!
My Opinion 5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
I loved these characters!
The autor manages to put enough sass and humour into the book that you can't help but fall for the characters and really hope that they get the happy ever after that they deserve.
We meet Henny initially in the first book of the series, Naughty or Ice, however we get to see the devoted friend with a brilliant sense of humour in this book along with strong loyalty.
Bex is a strong character, but both have issues that they need to resolve before they can finally set themselves free.
Another awesome read in the series.

REVIEW - The List by Alice Ward
The Book
Release Date: 24 April 2017
Goodreads Link
We love the chase, thrive on the hunt, but hate the entanglement. So we created The List.
The List - a top secret database of New York’s hottest women. As one of four entrepreneur billionaires who devised it, I live by its rules.
The formula is simple. If any of us sleeps with a girl, we are obligated to add her name, address, and kinks to The List. When another one of us has an urge for a certain type of woman, we simply pull up the list, make a selection, and find our prey.
It sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Well, for years it has been.
But now something’s different.
Riley Carson is different. The soft brunette has woken a part of me I didn’t know existed, a part of me that could be dangerous.
I don’t do girlfriends, but for the first time in my life, I’ve met a woman I don’t want to put on The List. A woman I want to keep to myself.
I have new desires. New cravings. New problems, like betrayal, or even worse, exposure.
Our wealth and reputations are on the line. A scandal would ruin us all.
Riley Carson may very well be our downfall... mine, most of all.
My Opinion 3 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
There were big parts of this book that i liked, but there were parts that just did not feel right to me.
Xavier for instance took far too long to work out what he was doing wrong and to make the changes required. He also had self-rightousness to him that wasn't for me.
Riley gave into him too easily and when she did develop a backbone it was all of a sudden and completely different to the woman she was.
The story is fast paced and has some good supporting characters along with some characters that you can get behind and hate.
Not sure if i will read this book again.

We love the chase, thrive on the hunt, but hate the entanglement. So we created The List.
The List - a top secret database of New York’s hottest women. As one of four entrepreneur billionaires who devised it, I live by its rules.
The formula is simple. If any of us sleeps with a girl, we are obligated to add her name, address, and kinks to The List. When another one of us has an urge for a certain type of woman, we simply pull up the list, make a selection, and find our prey.
It sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Well, for years it has been.
But now something’s different.
Riley Carson is different. The soft brunette has woken a part of me I didn’t know existed, a part of me that could be dangerous.
I don’t do girlfriends, but for the first time in my life, I’ve met a woman I don’t want to put on The List. A woman I want to keep to myself.
I have new desires. New cravings. New problems, like betrayal, or even worse, exposure.
Our wealth and reputations are on the line. A scandal would ruin us all.
Riley Carson may very well be our downfall... mine, most of all.
My Opinion 3 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
There were big parts of this book that i liked, but there were parts that just did not feel right to me.
Xavier for instance took far too long to work out what he was doing wrong and to make the changes required. He also had self-rightousness to him that wasn't for me.
Riley gave into him too easily and when she did develop a backbone it was all of a sudden and completely different to the woman she was.
The story is fast paced and has some good supporting characters along with some characters that you can get behind and hate.
Not sure if i will read this book again.

REVIEW - The Billionaire's Virgin (Billionaire Fairytales #1) by Jackie Ashenden
The Book
Release Date: 10 January 2017
Goodreads Link
Dark, tortured, and intimidating, these dominant billionaires will steal their innocent heroines' breath away. Overwhelmed by their desire to control their world, they push their heroines to explore their deepest desires. But even the most unworldly of heroines can unlock these billionaires' secrets.
Xavier De Santis: Disgraced. Ruinous. Playboy.
The headlines are always shouting about Xavier’s various excesses, and he’s everything they say he is. But now he’s gone too far, and the black sheep of the De Santis family has been ordered to clean up his image. Volunteering at a homeless shelter, he sees a bright light amidst all the bleakness. An angel whose luminous face and tragic beauty call to him in ways he can’t explain.
Mia: Vulnerable. Homeless. Virgin.
When the shelter Mia calls home closes, she is left with nowhere to go - nowhere except for the luxurious, glorious palace of a home that Xavier De Santis has invited her to stay. This too-handsome billionaire is dark, dangerous - and also too good to be true. But surely Mia can indulge in her fantasies and escape the drudges of her daily life for just one night?
As one night turns into two, Mia knows that eventually, the magic will end and she will have to return to her life of hardship. She can't keep the beautiful clothes. She can't keep the soft bed. And most of all, she can't keep the hard, handsome, brutal man who makes her crave his touch with every breath she takes. Mia doesn't belong in his world. But as Xavier tempts his rags-to-riches heroine with exquisite pleasure and heady desire, Mia doesn't stand a chance but to surrender completely to him.
My Opinion 4 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This was very well written and i could completely feel Mia's emotions and totally felt like she was a true homeless person living behind a dumpster.
Xavier was a character that you can totally not like, but be ok with that as he does eventually come good in the end. It takes Mia to change him from rich spoiled brat into a man who can think better of others in need.
Looking forward to reading all the other books in the series.

REVIEW - Staying For Good (Most Likely To #2) by Catherine Bybee
The Book
Release Date: 24 January 2017
Goodreads Link
Zoe Brown may have been voted Most Likely to Never Leave River Bend, but the paper-thin walls and suffocating air of her family’s double-wide trailer were not what she wanted for her life. Other than BFFs Melanie and Jo, the only thing that kept Zoe sane during high school was her boyfriend, Luke.
She didn’t just leave, she escaped—turning her back on the shame of her black-sheep siblings and imprisoned dad. Now a celebrity chef in Dallas, she can afford all the things she never could have growing up. But when she returns to rustic, ruggedly beautiful River Bend, Zoe has to face all that she abandoned—including Luke.
While Luke was a refuge for Zoe in the past, he knows they inhabit totally different worlds now. Anchored by his parents and his job as a mechanic in his father’s shop, Luke never felt the urge to leave River Bend—until Zoe’s return.
But when the two rekindle their old flame, Zoe is forced to make the hardest decision of her life: remain in River Bend and confront her past before it destroys her, or say good-bye to everyone she’s ever loved…again, this time for good.
My Opinion 5 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Montlake Romance, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
I REALLY enjoyed reading Zoe and Luke's second chance romance, but even in book one we knew that forces were really strong between them and it would not be long before they ended up together.
We get some dramatic events in this book, just like the first and again it keeps you in suspense as you never quite know how events are going to collide until in happens.
Zoe has a lot of sass and ambition, but it is only when Luke finally shows up in Texas she realises just how much she has missed him and finds her choices and wants changing.
Although the past catches up with Zoe, it is Luke and her friends that pull her through it all and keep her the strong person that she is.
I loved how Luke decided that he was finally willing to up his roots to find a home wherever Zoe was and that he made sure that he was sure and steady and just what she needed.
Another brilliant and must read from Catherine Bybee.

When the family dog trots in with my diaphragm in its mouth—in
front of my date, his parents, and his adorable little girl—you would think I’d
hit rock bottom.
WRONG.
Let’s back this up a sec…
Brendan Daniels is the sexiest man alive. The captain of the
Badger’s NHL team is also clever, kind, funny, and was my good friend…until we
cruised out of the friend zone one weekend with a red-hot fling. Come Monday
morning, I wanted to keep riding the Big O train to happy town, but Brendan
wanted someone who was “stepmom” material.
A.K.A, not me, apparently.
The problem? I’m crazy in love with him and his daughter. So when
he asks me to be his pretend girlfriend for a long weekend with his former
in-laws, I say yes. We’re still friends, after all, and friends don’t let
friends fake it alone.
***
Laura Collins is the last woman I should be thinking about taking
in the back seat of my car, in the woods behind my in-laws’ house, or in a
hotel room where we’re sharing one very small, very squeaky bed.
I need a steady, stable influence for my daughter, not a fling
with this too wild, too young, too impulsive red head. So what if she’s
beautiful and intense and passionate and has the biggest heart I’ve ever known?
I don’t want to fall in love. I really don’t. The whole “pretend
girlfriend” thing was supposed to solve my problems, buy me a little more time.
But when it comes to Laura?

I hate my new roommate.
And I want to do dirty, delicious things to her in that swing she
installed that we both know has nothing to
do with aerial yoga.
Neither of which is good, considering Diana Daniels is my NHL team
captain’s little sister, and he will
break my face if I’m not a perfect gentleman.
I try to be. Really, I do. But when Diana runs screaming down the
hall wearing nothing but a damp washcloth, all my gentlemanly intentions go out
the window. She’s got all sorts of Jedi mind tricks to make a man obsessed with
getting her into bed, and I’m not gonna lie—I fall for every single one of
them.
Especially the one where she warns me not to fall for her.
***
Everyone knows that banging your new roomie is a bad idea. And if
it wasn’t for his sister’s stupid pet pig, Wanda, chasing me out of the
bathroom mid-shower, Tanner Nowicki and I might still be able to pretend we
hate each other.
But that pig totally has it out for me, and before I can warn
Tanner that I don’t do relationships—or hockey players or my brother’s friends,
for that matter—he’s doing me.
Against the wall. And in his bed. And in my bed. And on a pinball machine where
we get an all time high score.
And it’s so incredible that I start to forget that I’m the
unluckiest woman alive when it comes to relationships. And pigs. And aerial
yoga. And worst of all, love.
But
hey, it’s not like I didn’t warn him…

My Opinion 4 STARS
**My thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing LLC, for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
Janie is on holiday as her ex is getting married to her former best friend where she accidentally bumps into Blaine Galloway.
Janie gets flustered, but does not know who Blaine is which is something Blaine is not used too and finds very refreshing.
Both keep little secrets but are otherwise themselves and find themselves find the best out of their current situations.
We do of course get our happy ending when Blaine realises that he has been an idiot and decides he wants to fight for her.
It good writing and you get a good sense of what Thailand can be like and the beauty there along with the fascinating places to see.
It's certainly a fun read and Janie says some things that had me laughing out loud. I would certainly read this again.
