Review of Jingle Ball: a MMF Holiday Romance (More the Merrier Book 1) by Taryn Quinn Wendy's been in love with her boss, Des, forever but she's practical and smart enough to know nothing will ever come of her feelings. Des only sees her as a friend and employee, right? But when Des catches her in an um solo moment in his co-owner's office during the company Christmas party, something comes over him and he decides to make her pay for her daring while in Cole's office. One explosive encounter later and now Wendy knows that Des isn't so immune to her. And as the encounters between the three keep happening, but never the main event between her and Des, she's really starting to doubt where they stand. She's starting to wonder if he only wants her when Cole is there, too. Perhaps it's Cole he's in love with, really wants, not her. And now Christmas is upon her, and she's alone. What's a poor woman to do but sulk at home alone while her mother...

Review of Jingle Balls by Vanessa Waltz When Gigi's dumped by her fiancé, she has to go back home to her mom's and face all the pity and sympathy from not just her mom but her mom's friend and neighbor. To make things worse, her neighbor's son Ronan is in town too, visiting his mom for the holidays. Ronan, the boy who made her life miserable their entire growing up years. Ronan, the boy who's a man now. A really hot man. But still an ass. Or is he? Maybe he just likes teasing her and now that Gigi and he are adults, he just might see the beauty in her that he never bothered looking at before. When the two are thrown together by their moms into playing Santa and elf for their town's Christmas events, it just might be Ronan's chance at redemption, and at getting Gigi into his life in a way he never thought of before. I thought this was a fun, spicy enemies to lovers holiday read. Ronan and Gigi had chemistry for days, and I loved seeing how gradually G...

Marianna is looking to get rid of her v-card while she's on a vacation with her brothers in Corfu. And she's found just the man to relieve her of it - gorgeous local hottie, Nico Galinas, the man who helped prevent her from getting mugged. A vacation romp sounds just the ticket for her, but will it stay a romp when an unforeseen consequence strikes? The permanent kind of consequence? I wanted to like this one, as I've liked all the other stories of this author's that I've read before; unfortunately, this one just did not work for me. Neither Nico nor Marianna is particularly likable, nor is their connection very strong. And the whole tone is just so down and dreary. Gah, it depresses me just thinking about the story and everything that happened in it. So if you're looking for something fun and lighthearted, I'd look elsewhere. If you're looking for something super sexy with vibrant, lovable characters, I'd definitely look elsewhere. ARC via Net...

Review of  Rock Redemption (Rock Revenge Book 3)  by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott Seriously, this trilogy ROCKS! (I know, I know...but I couldn't resist! 🎸😍) At the beginning of Rock Redemption, things are crazy upside down, and the that's what the first part of this conclusion does - resolves the insanity that happened at the end of Rock Reclaimed. I have to say that the action here is top notch. Aidan Roth and his team are on the job and whew, those guys are badass! I want an entire series dedicated to just them. *Hint Hint* Anyway, then onto the emotional part and Ian and Zoe's story plays out. But not just Ian and Zoe's. This isn't just about Ian's redemption - everyone is having to come to terms with their new reality with new people in the mix and how to figure out their new dynamic, both familial and rockstar. Cari and Taryn's rockstar reads are some of my favorite reads of all time, but I really think this trilogy is some of their best...

THAT WAS YESTERDAY by HJ Bellus releases on December 4th! Pre-Order Available:  Amazon Add it to your TBR  http://bit.ly/2RMUEax One call. That’s all it took to change everything. The sweet voice on the other end of the line delivered a blow I never saw coming. Fighting for our country’s freedom and staring death in the eye was nothing compared to this news. History has one hell of a way repeating itself. Kate Wilson’s voice didn’t waver once as she turned my worst nightmare into a reality, and her words weaved a cruel poetic justice. I hadn’t been back home in over two years. Once I pulled into the one-horse town, I was greeted by the gorgeous blonde. Kate extended her hand and offered me a warm smile. The connection was made. The innocent beauty has no idea that she just flipped my life upside down. She’d unearthed secrets that can never be buried.

Review of Perfume Girl by Vanessa Fewings Raquel's on the verge of losing everything. She's in the process of a nasty divorce from her cheating husband, her perfume boutique is probably going to have to be sold so she can give half of it to her asshole husband, and now the latest creation she's been working on is gone. What's she to do? She takes steps to get that scent back and infiltrates her biggest competitor - The House of Beauregard. When she meets one of its owners, Astor, suddenly things are looking up. But, she's got a big secret that he of course doesn't know. And he just may have his own secrets. These two may have passion in spades, but do they have what it takes to stay together and make it through to the other side? Perfume Girl is so much more than I had been expecting. It's twisty, it's thrilling in a good old fashioned way, it's erotic and sensual, and I was swept along with Astor and Raquel into their perfumed world of secr...
