Goodreads Link

From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes The Boyfriend Collector. 

FIND MR. RIGHT IN 30 DAYS? CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. 
Treated like a servant in her own home, twenty-year-old Rose Marie Hale can’t stop dreaming of her next birthday. It’s the day she’ll inherit a fortune, break free from her cruel family, and finally start living her life—finish school, travel, find love. After a lifetime of hardship, it’s all she’s ever wanted. 

But when Rose discovers she must marry before her twenty-first birthday to claim the money, she has no choice but to push herself out into the world in search of a man she can love and trust. Unfortunately, those are the very things that have been used as weapons against her. 

With only a month to go, can she find true love? Or will her past hold her back, leaving her penniless and alone? 

(Part One of Two)

My Review  5 STARS
I am never disappointed when i pick up a book by this author.  I am always taken for a ride and you can never guess at what is going to happen next, her mind works in truely mysterious ways and you cannot help but go back for more.

This is a cinderella ask type book and a coming of age, but as usual our leading lady is strong and has character that leads to to loving her and wanting her predicament to get better.  Our main leading man only wants to help and shoots himself in the foot a few times (figuratively, not literally) when he turns down her advances in the name of helping her only.  However at the end he changes his mind, but is it too late?

The ending of the book is not a cliff hangar, however you do wonder what is going to happen in book two as there are many variables as to what could happen, however we are at least one boyfriends down.

Really looking forward to see what the author has in store for Rose in book two.

REVIEW - Christmas Sparks and Kisses: A Billionaire Romance Box Set by Suzie Grace

The Book
Release Date: 11 December 2018
Goodreads Link

Add a little spark to your Christmas with this collection of three hot billionaire stories! 

Book 1: Home for Christmas 
Seven years ago I had everything: beautiful wife, adorable little baby and enough money to buy us whatever we wanted. 
Then, on Christmas Eve, my idyllic life shattered. 
I swore to never celebrate Christmas again. 
This year I’m breaking that promise for my son. 
That kid has me wrapped up around his little finger and before I can think through the consequences, I find myself knocking on the door of his nanny’s apartment. 
And when I see those tearful big eyes, I know this Christmas will change my life once again. 

Book 2: A Gift for Santa 
The staff nicknamed me ‘Santa’ because, at this time of year, I tend to rather spoil them the way no fat white-bearded old man could ever dream of. 
With the billions in my bank account not so big deal. 
Yet, there is one person that doesn’t seem impressed by my generosity: Hannah. 
My crush. My best friend’s little sister. 
How am I going to tell her that she is the hottest creature ever walking in my office? 

Book 3: Fake Christmas Boyfriend 
All I want for Christmas is...her. 
She greets me every morning with a big smile on her angelic face. She drives me insane with her heavenly sexy curves. She never crosses the line...and neither should I. 
I’m her boss. She is my employee. That’s where it must stay. 
But she needs help. My help. 
This Christmas, I will show her how well I can take care of my best employee... 


AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is a collection of three standalone short stories with a happily ever after, no cliffhanger, and no cheating. 

My Review  3 STARS
This is a collection of three very short stories that happen over the festive period and three couples who have lusted after each other finally have something that changes to make their wish a reality.

Home for Christmas is a tale of a nanny and a single father who's wife left him and his son when the child was very little and after seven years has not moved on.  After a cheating boyfriend the two end up together after a present mix up and a Christmas spent together.  A sweet read where the man gets a second chance at love.

A Gift For Santa i a story where the man is the boss and another present mix up where a sexy present meant for her best friend ends up in the hands of her brothers best friend and boss.  Both harbour a crush on each other and this gets him to expose his secret and they move onto  happiness from there.

Fake Christmas Boyfriend is where the girl is the assistant PA to the boss and he happens to overhear a conversation where she needs a fake boyfriend to take home for Christmas.  He volunteers and as they get to know each other before the trip they start falling for each other.  However she goes a little nutty at her parents house it is only when he speaks out at Christmas lunch that things change and they can finally move on and be happy.

Sweet stories, but very predictable.

REVIEW - The Standby Guy by Natasha Moore

The Book
Release Date: 11 February 2019
Goodreads Link

For the last fifteen years, Katie Dixon has been focused on her responsibility as a single mother, raising her son and making ends meet. Now her son’s off to college, her photography business is stable, and she’s more than ready to embrace her “me time,” including a romantic fling or two. The only problem is that she hasn’t dated in years and needs a little help finding her confidence again. 

Carter Colburn has been her next door neighbor and closest friend for years. So when he needs a date for a business dinner that could boost his law firm and help keep the family business on solid footing, she offers to pretend to be his girlfriend. He’s funny, sexy, and a confirmed bachelor—the perfect guy to help her find her mojo and nothing more.

But when local residents catch them sharing a tipsy kiss, the rumor mill goes wild. It's fun to pretend to be dating for a while. But when Carter starts to take the idea of settling down with his best friend seriously, Katie is terrified by the prospect of losing her precious "me time" all over again.

My Review  4 STARS
**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Entangled Publishing LLC, for an honest review**

I must admit that i was thrilled to find a book where the characters were no longer in their twenties and were slightly more mature, especially as i am now in my mid thirties.

Katie is 40 and her son has just fled the nest to college leaving Katie to her Me Time and to focus on her photography business.  Her best friend Carter, the best friend of her husband lives next door and helped her raise her son when her husband died when Sean was little.

The pair are great together, but it is only once Sean has gone and Carter needs a date to go on a business meeting that the pair find there is more to their friendship than they thought.  Pretending to be a couple has other people saying about time and that they thought they were already together in private.  Which shocks them both.

Katie is ok with pretending for a while but does not want another relationship as it is her time to do things, but of course feelings get tin the way for both of them and they both have to realise that they can still live and be who they want to be with each other and that Katie does not have to give up her list.

I really enjoyed this book, i will be looking out more from this line by this publisher.

REVIEW - Living with Her Fake Fiancé (The Loft #3) by Noelle Adams

The Book
Release Date: 19 February 2019
Goodreads Link

Chloe needs a man to pose as her fiancé for a few weeks, so she asks her roommate, Brent, to take on the role. He might be shy, but he's a good guy, and he'll do anything to help her out. 

Because she's grateful, she wants to do something for Brent in return, and there's only one thing he needs from her. He has no experience with women. None. At all. So Chloe decides to give him lessons. 

It's supposed to be a friendly, casual thing, but Brent makes her feel better about herself than any man ever has. So Chloe wonders if their fake relationship can be real.

My Review  4 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This is a cute read about Chloe and Brent, Chloe being the last friend to pair up that lives in the Loft apartment.

Chloe is a very friendly character, but finds herself in a bit of a pickle when her mother tells Chloe's dying grandmother a fib that Chloe has gotten engaged.  A fib that has Chloe asking a very shy and quiet Brent if he would pretend to be her fiancé and she will help him talk to girls and do much more.

As the pair grow closer together they learn more about each other and explore more than just kisses until they find that they want to be more than just friends.

This was a lovely end to the series and it closes well on the chapter of the three friends and their lives.

REVIEW - The D.I.L.F. by Amy Andrews

The Book
Release Date: 23 January 2018
Goodreads Link

Amy Andrews turns up the heat in her smuttiest little book to-date!

Owen

I’ve had a crush on Stefanie, my best friend’s older sister, since I was fifteen. As a geeky gamer with a bad case of acne, she was totally out of my league. But I’m all grown up now, with a medical degree and an in-depth knowledge of female anatomy I’m not afraid to use. When we cross paths again I finally get my chance to live out a few teenage fantasies and prove I can be her guy. I just have to convince Stef to take a chance. 

Stefanie

As a resident nurse,I’ve had enough of arrogant doctors to last me a lifetime. I’m not looking for another. I’m especially not looking to hook up with my kid brother’s bestie—ten years my junior—even if he has morphed into a walking, talking, wet dream. If only he wasn’t sleeping in my spare bed for three weeks and making it very clear he wants to be in my bed instead. Not going to happen. I don’t do casual anymore. No matter how much I want to open my legs for the DILF

My Review  4 STARS
**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Entangled Publishing LLC, for an honest review**

This was a slightly unusual book for me in that the man was younger than the woman by 10 years, but that did not diminish the fact that this was a good read.

Owen has had a thing for Stefanie, his best friends older sister since her was fifteen and he saw much more of her than he should have.  Now sharing an apartment with her for a short period, his lust kicks up again and he just knows that he has to have her and that she is the one for him.

Stefanie however, although she finds Owen to be more hot than she remembers, let alone et near, she struggles at first with the fact that not only is Owen her little brothers best friend, but she struggles with the age gap and what others may think when they find out.

Untimately Owen is strong in character and changes Stefs mind and changes her world for the better, he proves that he will be there for her and we get a happy ending with a decent ending.

REVIEW - The Last (The List #3) by Tawna Fenske

The Book
Release Date: 4 February 2019
Goodreads Link

Sarah Keating was sure she’d be married by 30. Husband, kids, the kick-ass career helping adults with Down Syndrome—she assumed she’d have it all, and there’d be no need to fall back on the marriage pact she made with her best pal from college.

But a tipsy message she sends from her birthday party brings Ian Nolan to her door ready to rock her world, and not just with mind-blowing sex. He’s up for tying the knot, and has a million pragmatic reasons it makes perfectly good sense.

As Sarah and Ian test drive their marriage-of-convenience, they navigate awkward business dinners, a slippery steam room hookup, and a costume party gone awry. Their friendship is stronger than ever, and the sexual chemistry is off the charts. 

But is that enough to make a marriage work, or will one of them fall hard and end up brokenhearted?

Each book in the The List series is STANDALONE:

* The List
* The Test
* The Last

My Review  4 STARS
**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Entangled Publishing LLC, for an honest review**

I have really enjoyed this book even through i have not read the previous books in the series, you can certainly read it as a stand alone.

Both Sarah and Ian were friends college and made a pact that if they were still single when they are 30 they would marry each other.  On Sarah's thirtieth birthday she is single and having a small part with her close friends she texts Ian only to have a surprise.  Instead of being in New York he in only 10 minutes away and turns up at her door.

Both come from broken homes, but after the death of his brother, Ian has hardened his heart and feels he cannot love in the way most people do.

After Ian introduces a contact marriage, where the only thing missing is the love aspect they embarg on a small trial period before they decide to tie the knot.  Friendships deepen and we see more of the Ian he thinks is not there until Sarah drops a bomb.

We get a happy ending and good friendships along with good supportive characters.  I really enjoyed this book.

REVIEW - Silence by N. Isabelle Blanco

Title: Silence

Author: N. Isabelle Blanco

Genre: Standalone Dark Paranormal Romance

Release Date: January 23, 2019

Blurb

When my brother, the King, married fifteen-years ago, I welcomed his new family as my own. His wife . . . her baby girl.

My niece by marriage.

I left to war the savages. For years I traveled back and forth, seeing that child age.

But then the last battle kept me away for five years . . .

I’ve returned now to take my rightful place: second-in-command to the throne.

I am everything this kingdom stands for—everything it needs. The kind of pillar not even my brother can aspire to being.

They all look up to me. To maintaining their code.

Yet, they do not know the truth.

In the grip of the shadows, she haunts me at night.

During the day, she smiles and whispers, showing me traces of that sweet little girl.

At night, she’s there, a vision in black. Watching, stalking . . . no words need to be said.

She knows.

I’m losing the battle. This thing between us is an evil spark.

Thousands of years of honor are threatened—about to be shredded by the impossibility of our desire.

She doesn’t care.

It’s in her silence that she kills me . . .  and she wields it like a blade.

The savage call of her blood is more than I can handle . . .

And the need to own her body might destroy us both.

Warning: contains themes that aren’t for everyone. Please read at your own caution. 18+.

My Review  5 STARS

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

Wow, i did enjoy this book but with this ending i REALLY hope there is at least one more book coming and that we get a series out of this.

Obsidian is just awesome and Calamity (what a wonderful) name really got under his skin in just the best of ways.  

The book has a taboo theme. but taboo means something different to everyone, an age gap means nothing to some, step siblings or married into the family mean nothing to some and something to others.  This book did not feel taboo to me, but i am very open minded.

Obsidian has that dark brooding type of personality and Calamity has the type of personality to make the thing happen that she wants, even if it is hard for others initially, she is also a computer wizard.

The chemistry between the pair leaps of the page from the moment that they are reunited again and does not stop until the last page of this book.  Be warned that the flames will leap of the pages and leave you fanning yourself as the pair tear through the book from a small smoulder to a raging inferno.

COVER REVEAL - The Something about Her (The Opposites Attract Series Book 4) by Rachel Higginson

The Book
Release Date: 26 February 2019
Goodreads Link

I quit life. Or at least my new job. 

My new, fancy, head chef position at one of the most acclaimed restaurants in the city is not turning out like I’d hoped. I’m a mess. Totally out of my element and underqualified, I’ve been thrown into a fiery kitchen and I’m not sure I can handle the heat. 

But I owe my brother. And since it’s his restaurant and he’s my favorite person in the world, I can’t walk away.

Even though I’d love to do just that. If we’re being honest though, it’s more than just my kitchen. It’s the bad date I went on last week. And my building superintendent that won’t fix my sink. It’s the creepy guy from my gym that won’t leave me alone. But mostly, it’s my friend’s brother that keeps showing up in all the worst places.

I’ve never claimed to have it together, but I certainly don’t need a man to rescue me every time I get my heel stuck in a sewer grate. Except that’s what keeps happening. 

Vann Delane is pushy and stuck up and thinks he knows everything there is to know about everything. And for whatever reason, he keeps saving me. 

Not that he’s happy about it. He’s made it clear what he thinks about my money and dream job and the designer shoes he saved last weekend. He’s not impressed with me and my penchant for disaster. 

I’ve decided to stay away from him. I’ve got too many other fires to put out to worry about the something between us that doesn’t have a name. 

So, he can give his knight in shining armor kindness to someone else. And he can save those intense glances and butterfly-inducing smiles for the nice girl he’s looking for. And he can deny it all he wants, but I know he likes me.

He says I drive him crazy. But I know there’s something about me that he can’t deny.

REVIEW - Sixty Nine (Payne Brothers #4) by Sosie Frost

The Book
Release Date: 24 December 2018
Goodreads Link

Varius Payne is a guilty pleasure that tempts a girl to sin.

He’s a devil in bed, and every night in his arms promises paradise.

Our agreement was simple—no names, no details, no confessions beyond our need for each other. 

…Until the day we came face-to-face outside our secret hotel room, working together to coordinate his small-town Christmas pageant.

Varius needs a savior, but I’m no angel. And saving him from his demons risks my own heart. 

It’d be a match made in Heaven…
If it hadn’t detoured through Hell. 

***
Sixty Nine is a sexy, laugh-out loud romance from Wall-Street Journal Bestselling Author Sosie Frost. Love stand-alone romances set in a connected universe? The Payne Brothers are sexy, deliciously tempting, and, like a real family--they can't stand each other. Fortunately, these small-town women know how to handle their men. Hearts will heal, one romantic comedy at a time.

Sixty Nine is a complete standalone! This BWWM Romantic Comedy is 100% safe, contains no cheating or cliffhangers, and is guaranteed a heart-warming Happily Ever After.

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

I really enjoyed this book with Glory being a strong woman and being able to see more of Varius and the reason as to why he is currently no longer a minister.

Varius is a man who is haunted by an event that happened two years ago that has rocked the way that he sees the world, he now credits seeing Glory as the reason that he has something in his world that helps his soul.

Glory is a woman who works hard to look after her baby and has managed to stay strong even when things go bad, she is a role model really, apart from her previous taste in men.

I enjoyed still seeing previous characters, the way the town can tear each other apart, but stand in support of others when needed and being great characters in general.  This town sounds like a lot of fun to visit.

I really look forward to see how Tidus manages to turn his life around.
