BLURB

The world knows Erasmus Cress as a British boxing champion and a single dad, but what they don’t know is that he’s also an O thief. Yep, that O. The OMG, don’t stop, please, don’t stop, O.
The infuriating beefcake rendered yoga instructor Libby Lamb an off-balance O-deprived mess with one arrogant glance, which turns out to be an occupational hazard when her job is to remain calm, cool, and collected.
She never expected to become the boxer’s nanny, but she’s got bills to pay and brothers to support. Not to mention, the beefcake’s ripped physique might be the key to reclaiming her O and restoring her inner peace.
Here’s the deal. She’s out of options, and so is he.
He’s training for the fight of his life, and he needs someone to care for his son.
He says he doesn’t do relationships. But when their eyes meet, and the gloves come off, there’s no denying his yang is hot for her yin.
They clash at every turn, but Erasmus soon learns that the fight that matters the most might not be the one in the boxing ring. When it’s all on the line, the true battle will be the fight for Libby’s heart.

RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 24, 2022

Not my first read by the author and I have read the previous books in the series. This one I was excited about and it’s a big boy! In all honestly I don’t think it needed a couple of scenes in the book, they were slow for me so it dragged a bit. Other than that there is a lot of action and scenes happening here, lot’s of side characters and life happening. It’s part for me where the ‘romance’ got lost and I was clinging to that little bit when it was between the H&H. It was still enjoyable to read, took me a couple of full days to read & am looking forward to the next one.

This is a heavy rom-com mixed with enemy-to, friends-to, single dad, alpha hero and very expressive out there heroine. I enjoyed the hero & heroine, each in it’s own. I had a few dislikes to the heroine only because she was heavy on the chi and the yoga, it went a little too much into detail for me on that. Laughed out loud many times in the book. The hero is a boxer who is in need of a nanny, has a chip on his shoulder and is a big man with an even bigger heart. They are paired very well, also the hero’s little son is the sweetest and just everything flowed so well. Even if the romance was missing the sizzle was there and worth the wait! I can’t wait for more in this series and hope to go din my next lifetime I get to have this Hero in real life please. Krista make it happen please & thank you!

Wren
Being a single mom is not how I envisioned life would turn out. But after my happily ever after ended way too soon, I’m doing my best and taking each day as it comes. Life is full of surprises, though, both good and bad… like Marshall Riggins coming to my rescue in the pharmacy line.
The gorgeous Riggins brother has a heart of gold and looks mighty fine as a knight in shining armor, but I don’t need a handout nor the distraction. Too bad my heart doesn’t get the memo.
Suddenly he’s everywhere I am. With his stubborn smile and dark blue eyes, he sees way more than I wish he would. He looks beyond the broken fragments of my being and still wants me. I can’t help but think maybe he’s my second chance at a happy ending.
Marshall
After watching my brothers find their magic and settling down, it’s time to admit I want what they have. It’s not just about the passion but the soul connection. The beautiful brunette fumbling through her purse in front of me in line doesn’t just catch my attention. She steals my heart.
Wren Wheeler is as stubborn as the day is long. The gorgeous single mom doesn’t want to accept my help… or my friendship. But her adorable baby girl doesn’t agree. In fact, she loves me. And the longer I spend with both of them, I know walking away isn’t an option.
She’s afraid of having her heart broken again, but I’m not going anywhere. I’ve slowly fallen for Wren. And beat by beat, I think she’s falling too. 

RELEASE DATE: SEPTERM 7, 2021

Not my first read by the author and she is one of my favorites as well as a INSTA-READ one! I have read and re-read all the previous books in this series and was so excited when I got this! I knew Marsh was going to be special!

Marshall is the youngest Riggins Brother but the very smart one. He is thriving in the business, has a big heart and is sexy. What more can a man ask for? Well how about a Mom at the pharmacy store not having enough money to pay for her daughters meds. That melted my heart the way he helped her even if she tried to refuse is many times, not only that but he left her a little something and when the heroine Wren shows up at his office a few days later, it’s not for the reason one would think. I really loved Marsh’s heart so much! The heroine comes from a lonely background, after losing her husband who left her the best gift ever, the most adorable little girl *heart eyes* she isn’t really excited to be on any man’s radar. But Marshall doesn’t give up and when a Riggins brother wants something, he works hard for it. Boy did he ever! But when you see Marshall and the little cute babygirl, you will melt! Super sweet story, as always I loved this series and I am sad that this is the end but this series is a re-read through and through!

It wasn’t love at first sight. That would be too easy.
I can tell you all the reasons Paige and I shouldn’t be together.
But love overlooks a lot.
My heart doesn’t care that I’m ten years older.
There’s no age gap in how she makes me feel.
My heart doesn’t care that she’s a single mother.
It just makes more room.
My heart doesn’t care that she’s got secrets of her own.
It’s used to keeping mine.
The moment I laid eyes on Paige, I lost control. 
Control of my desires. Control of my secrets. Control of my heart.
Right or wrong, we’re going to have to fight for our happily ever after. 
And I don’t plan on losing.

RELEASE DATE: July 29, 2021

NEW to me author and books. This is a Dual-POV.

This being my first read by the author, I saw this blurb and really it caught my eye so I went for it. It is a little bit of a different writing style and tone than I am sued to reading so it was harder for me to pick up on it. The hero and Heroine weren’t insta love, it was rather a struggle until the moment but what kind of threw me off is that there was no build up to the INSTA-LOVE if that makes sense. Not to mention that the heroine’s secret of big reveal didn’t really happen until after 90% and by then I was done (not done with the book but just in my mind set done with the story type) so on both instances I saw it coming but really wanted that build up. I don’t know if it was because it felt out of order and line for me at times. I still enjoyed their chemistry together, it was really beautiful. The heroine is a single mom raining a child, no money, and the Hero is a rather wealthy man who does well for himself in life. I do like that type of style, I just wish it wasn’t jumbled a little for more. But for a NEW author to me, i really enjoyed the read.

Dr. Sebastian Ross knows a wounded warrior when he sees one. He thought his days of patching up soldiers were done when he left the Army. Then a bleeding beauty enters his ER. One with haunted eyes, a scarred body, and a military insignia tattooed into her skin. When she disappears without a trace, leaving a fake name behind, he makes it his purpose to track her down and make sure she’s safe.
Cinder Bennet is a warrior. Foster homes, the military, she’s seen it all and survived. When her marriage turns violent, and its kill or be killed, she decides to run instead. She’s started over fresh before, after all. Her only mission is to stay under the radar. But then she meets the doctor with the kind eyes, and his determination for her safety takes her breath away.
When Sebastian looks at Cinder, he doesn’t see a broken soldier with cracks in her armor from a hard-lived life, but a woman strong and proud. From the minute he lays eyes on her, he’s determined to be both her shield and her sword. To fill the holes in her heart—with him.

RELEASE DATE: July 9, 2021

NEW to me author but I am not new to the series. I didn’t know what to expect from this one so I just dived in.

This one fit well into the world. I will say that I was not connected fully as I usually am in this world but it was early enough to get sucked into the story. Cinder is a heroine that I don’t gravitate towards fully, I couldn’t connect with her. Sebastian the hero who is the Dr. that wants Cinder but she refuses to give him a chance for reasons. What kind of mostly helped for me and I loved was Sebastians patience and kindness…yes the heroine really did go through trauma and was stubborn but to me it was a little over the top, and I really wanted that BOOM effect eventually, that is I think the main reason I couldn’t connect to the heroine. Light and quick read.

To me, he was Grizzly.
To the world, I would learn, he’s someone else completely.
I should have died on that mountain.
But he rescued me.
More animal than man, he’s cold, distant, and fiercely territorial. He seems to hate me for simply breathing, and yet, he brought me back to life.
After my return to the city, I can’t stop thinking about him. His rough hands, intense glare, and the way he cared for me as if I meant something to him.
He tells me he’s dangerous. That I’m not safe around him. I would eventually understand why he warned me away. But by then it’s too late. My heart is his.

RELEASE DATE: May 18, 2021

BRAND NEW author to me! And guess what I freaking fell so much in love with this I can NOT wait for more, although I wish I can get more of these two but more in the series I will take! I am too excited about this book to know where to start, it did make it on my TOP 2021 because of so many reasons but mainly because the story-line and hero/heroine…okay heck everything about it to be honest. It was a unique enough for me story line, yes the trope is enemy-to but it was so much more than that. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about the heroine at the beginning it was a little rough start but she grew on me so fast and by the end of it, I understood her so much and was proud of her.

The hero Alexander ‘Grizzly’ North is a unique man. At first I really just was drawn to his ‘i was born in the woods and raised by wolves look’ but then it got even worse when I found out more of the truth, I went wild for him. (see what I did there…wild…get it..) The heroine Jordan is a woman down on her luck, well mainly because she just found out something that shocked her but not truly surprised her. What does she do, she goes off into the woods to do the hike all on her own, she is experienced hiker but it’s close to the winter and conditions weren’t really on her side. When she wakes up from thinking she possibly died, she at first may have wished she was. Their encounter in the cabin is ‘interesting’ to say the least. When she returns to the city, things are more clear including her feelings. Grizzly kind of saves her more than once and honestly their relationship is anything but normal. Their past really is messy and muddy but the heart wants what the heart wants, Jordan I’m sure would say.

I was hanging on every page. Didn’t know what was coming next. Good surprises, Sad surprises. And Scary Surprises. Both having a messy past, but in the now, they truly do belong to one another in every possible way. I enjoyed watching these tow try and find the road together. I won’t give out too much but will tell you that this is SO WORTH IT TO READ and invest in. I can’t wait for more even though one of the twin brother’s I want to smack all the time, it’ll be interesting to see if they get a story!

BLURB

He walks the red carpet. She’s more familiar with vacuuming one.
When a scandal tarnishes the reputation of hot as hell A-lister, Patrick Walsh, he needs a reputation rescue, pronto.
Enter waitress Norah Peers–a nobody who’s average with a capital A. She’s available, dependable, and has sworn off men for the rest of her natural born life. In other words: the perfect match for a no-strings fake romance.
For the right amount of money, she can avoid waitressing and play the part of his dependable down-to-earth girlfriend. What she can’t avoid–dammit–is the growing steam between them.
But being hounded by the paparazzi and having your life dissected on social media is a panic attack in the making. And while Patrick might be a charming rogue on screen, in real life he’s a six-foot-two confusing, gorgeous, brooding grump, who keeps her at a distance . . . but also makes her feel like this bond between them might be more than just an act.
Being dumped on cue should be no big deal. Except being fake with Patrick is the realist relationship Norah has ever had. What’s a girl to do, but flip the script, and ask for a rematch made in Hollywood? 

RELEASE DATE: May 18, 2021

Not my first read by the author and I knew from the blurb then the cover that I will enjoy this. And boy did I enjoy the heck out of this, from page one. Usually I am not a CELEB HERO or heroine type of fan but this one was beyond perfection in that trope, hence why it made it on the TOP 2021 MUST READ list of mine! The only and I mean only hang-up which is personal for me is, that there is really no Epilogue. (angry face at that)

Hero is Patrick who is a well known actor and celebrity. He recently got into a little bit of a pickle regarding another celebrity (female) and the agents are out to repair his image. In comes the sweet, down to earth, beautiful waitress. Norah has noticed the handsome actor, but always gave him his privacy after all she could only imagine he wants to for once just be in piece and eat at a restaurant. But when he comes up with a offer she really CAN’T refuse, she doesn’t give it another thought because Norah is selfless and this is a huge quality I loved about her in the book. Both the hero and heroine really you fall in love with them even if at one point that involved a late night and a stupid HERO i wanted to cut him a little, I moved on from that fast Paddy! Yes that’s what they called him. That said, Norah uproots her life for the next 6 month and honestly the journey is hard yes, adjusting, accommodating and well trying to have a conversation with the handsome actor, turns out to be a lot harder than Norah imagined. She is very open and upfront, another quality to love about her and well Paddy he is very scowl-y and broody…in a sexy way yes but still. Their journey may seem easily mapped out but it’s nothing of that. I enjoyed every page, getting more of their lives and how they came together. I ended up loving every page and yarned for more. LOVE KYLIE and her unique way of writing style where she sucks you in and then you are just left with a #bookhangover and needing more!

One night changed an entire town.
I lost everything the night of the Hawk Valley bonfire.
The ghosts of my past kept me inside the town limits, though I dreamed of faraway places.
He was the town golden boy. Son of the mayor. Firefighter and local hero. I was the girl from the wrong side of town and still paying for my father’s sins. I tried to stay away from our local hero, but he kept popping up everywhere. He singed my nerves, but every time we bickered, I only wanted to kiss him.
The unexpected passion between us turned into a blazing inferno. A promise of only one night turned into two. Until we couldn’t stop.
I thought there was nothing left to lose.
But when the past came back to burn us, I realized I never knew what I had…

RELEASE DATE: February 23, 2020

Not my first read by the author and I have read all the previous books in this series! This one I was excited for because I wasn’t sure how it would go. It pretty much almost broke my heart for real but then it put it all back together but I am not sure I am the same after this book. Wow the emotion and angst!

I will say at first that the heroine drove me mad a little, this is more towards the middle-ish end! I am not sure where to start on this. The heroine and hero know one another form high school, and when a tragedy for one and a awakening for another happens…it all goes up in flames. (You’ll see what I mean when you read it) This is not a second chance although it does feel like it to me, the hero and heroine did not previously date but did know one another. The heroine comes from a poor family with lot’s of siblings where the hero comes from a rich family that only cares about the money. Yes I know what you’re thinking but it’s not I promise you, this will take you by surprise. Watch out for the beginning, I cried my eyes out!

Lot’s of angst, actions, suspense, mystery and surprises. I do enjoy the chase and this one was a sweet one, SUPER SLOW BURN just a heads up but totally worth it once you get there. There is something about building that sexual suspense. Really enjoyed this story, one sitting stayed up until 1am to finish type of read. This whole series is.

RELEASE DATE: January 19, 2020

Not my first read by the author, she quickly became one of my favorites~

This was an interesting duo and start I won’t lie. The situation where the hero and heroine meet isn’t your usual but will make more sense a little bit later. The way they come to be is due to both having being in a situation where they would befit form one another. That said, it was the sweetest to watch the heroine with the baby. It has twists, lies, turns, adventure, romance, swooning and quite funny. I don’t want to give out too much really because it’s a book you need to dive into and get all the surprises yourself. I’s a very SLOW BURN and I will say that at times I was missing the AUTHOR ROMANCE and by that I mean I am used to her brand of romance in her books.

I do have to say that the ending well PISSED me off, and without giving out too much I think that the heroine was a little more at fault but it ended up being turned around the other way and I was SO MAD at her! Haven’t read a ending that made me want to yell in a while. The no epilogue is what drops by rating down to 4.5 I’m sorry to the author but I was already mad at the end with everything then to find out there was no epilogue kind of kicked me in the reading ribs! There is no cheating or any of my triggersd in this which I apprecita!

But Warren always gets what he wants… and he wants Ariana.
Nothing will stand in his way. Not even the fact that she’s one of his employees.
Ariana Leighton had her life all planned out until some devastating news turned her entire world upside down.
To make ends meet she becomes a personal shopper for Chicago’s most exclusive high-end department store, Bentley’s, and one of her clients happens to be the heir to the entire empire.
Ari usually doesn’t deal directly with the notorious playboy, but that all changes when he comes into the store for some last-minute Christmas shopping and melts her panties with his sexy smirk.
Warren makes his intentions clear, but Ari can’t afford to be distracted by his games. That is until he makes her an offer she can’t refuse.
Will Ari be able to resist the handsome bachelor, or will Warren succeed in melting the ice surrounding her heart?

RELEASE DATE: December 30, 2020

Not my first read by the author and well I have read almost all of her books, so I am familiar and love her style. When I saw she was giving us a holiday treat, I was giddy with excitement, and boy did this book live up to it!

This really took me by surprise it was refreshing and real. Warren the hero is I mean a DREAM HERO I would go as far as say a UNICORN HERO which you can’t find often or ever. He was handsome, sweet, smart, swoony and the biggest heart. Ariana the heroine definitely had a lot happening in her life, something that a lot of people don’t go through and still a lot do. She has her eyes set on her priorities, and love isn’t something that can be brought into that plan. After finding out about he mother, she dedicates herself fully, and when after being the personal shopper for Warren the CEO of the company she works for she finally actually gets to meet him. She wishes she didn’t have to. Warren doesn’t make a good first impression, but that wasn’t the last of him.

This story is as fun as heartbreaking, I enjoyed every scene, the characters and side characters. You get a mini POV from different side characters like the heroine mother, hero’s grandmother and hero’s sister. Very well put together with smooth transitions. I really wanted more but you do get the sweetest epilogue. Lot’s of sweet and swoony moments along with sexy and sizzling ones…so glad Jessica went with giving us this Holiday Romance!!

Not my first read by the author and I LOVE this author and have read all her books. She is a INSTA-READ for me and this series, I have loved the Novella and Book 1 and this one was equally amazing!

I want to explain that this is definitely a INSTA-LOVE. We have the hero who is the 2nd oldest of the brothers but also the quiet and thinking one. He is not a man of many words but what he says is very important and honest. The heroine is a woman that was dealt a shitty hand in life from birth due to her mother. She ran away when she turned 18 and never looked back. She is just getting by but that’s happy for her and she is proud of herself and what she does. When they meet they have no idea about one another, the hero may come off as pitying her but the way it goes is that he is just a man that when you know you know. What happens next is a fast ride but a beautiful sweet one, and a tragic event leading to a HEA. Beware the hero here is UBER-SWOONY is the only way I can describe it. I can’t wait for the next brother, Grant!

No matter how much it hurts to say goodbye.

Not my first read by the author, and I have read all her books. I was so excited to hear she is giving us something new, so to say I was excited to get an ARC is an understatement. Heads up, this does INVOLVE Cloverleigh Farms in ways 🙂

I am not going to lie but when this started I thought it was going to go one way but the heroine surprised me through out the beginning. I thought it was going to be another, damsel rich girl running away to start her own life and bad dirty mechanic who has to work for everything and work hard that is. But even from the beginning she turn a turn, a good turn and I was intrigued. I will say off the bat that Melanie NEVER disappoints when it comes to sexy scenes. WOW who turned up the fire?!

This was original with a twist, I loved all the characters, even the heroine got to me fast enough, the story line, the events…it’s was beautiful, cute, haunting at times and romantic! The hero was a lot more romantic than he gives himself credit for. I can’t wait for book 2, that one should be interesting!

He might be the most successful jeweler of his generation, a loyal friend and some say the most handsome man in London, but his past means he doesn’t deal in love.
When Hollie Lumen enters the ballroom where exquisite royal jewels are on display, she brings Dexter’s world to a screeching halt. Despite her hand-me-down dress and borrowed shoes, Hollie is even more stunning than the jewelry. Feisty, funny and ferociously independent, she’s all Dexter can see.
Hollie Lumen can’t catch a break. She thought an internship in London was her chance to escape her responsibilities back in Oregon and for her dreams to come true. When she’s fired only a few weeks after touching down, she’s ready to give up and go home. Hollie never asks for help. She knows the only person she can rely on is herself.
So what’s she going to do about the tall, dark, handsome stranger who keeps rescuing her?

Not my first read by the author, and I just want to say that these covers are always so amazing starting with this series. Now I have not read book #1 in this series but that was okay because I got enough from this book to get me by! Glad I gave this a chance because this was a SWEET READ!

The favorite part of this for me was the flow of the story and book, the banter between friends, the different lifestyles but deep down same souls, the characters. Dexter comes from a gold spoon if you will and lives a different kind of life, but works really hard and that’s one of the characteristics I loved about him. Hollie couldn’t be more opposite but this is where when I said same souls, they really both have a lot in common just at different levels. I really loved them together, their chemistry, they just fit so well. And I gotta say, I haven’t read a lot of books by the author but this one with the hot steamy scenes, phew hot as fire guys, romantic enough but with a alpha/sexy kick!

R E V I E W ➠ The Rich Boy by Kylie Scott

GOODREADS – AMAZON – AUTHOR WEBSITE

I’m the type of girl who’s given up on fairy tales. So when Beck – the hot new busboy at work – starts flirting with me, I know better than to get my hopes up. Happily ever afters aren’t for the average. I learned that the hard way.
But how can I be expected to resist a man who can quote Austen, loves making me laugh, and seems to be everything hot and good in this world?
Only there’s so much more to him than that.
Billionaire playboy? Check.
Troubled soul? Check.
The owner of my heart, the man I’ve moved halfway across the country to be with, who’s laying the world at my feet in order to convince me to never leave? Check. Check. Check.
But nobody does complicated like the one percent.
This is not your everyday rags-to-riches, knight-in-shining armor whisking the poor girl off her feet kind of story. No, this is much messier.

RELEASE DATE: March 09, 2020

“FOR A CONTROL FREAK, I HAVE SURPRISINGLY LITTLE CONTROL AROUND YOU. IT’S DISCONCERTING.”

-Beck

This is not my first read by the author but a first official review. I have read Kylie’s book before I started all my bookstagramming! And I forgot how much I LOVE HER books!! ALTERNATIVE CINDERELLA STORY! I really did not want it to end, and sadly I have to report but no epilogue and I almost cried!

The heroine ALICE is a woman living life day by day, working, accepting where she stands and doing so to get by. She is a waitress in California. When a new staff comes on, she is intrigued but keeps her distance. The hero BECK is seductive, handsome, big, strong, sarcastic, real and just real. He is passing through but when his eye caught Alice, he knew he had to be near her if anything. They both hit it off right away and things kind of go fast…but as Alice thinks this is too good to be true, it really is because the ever so sexy and mysterious new boy that doesn’t want to “take things to the next level sexually” because he wants to get to know her…really is too good to be true. This is very steamy as well, it is a slow-burn but once it’s there, it’s blazing THEIR CHEMISTRY IS INSANE from the banter, to jokes, to Beck quoting JANE AUSTIN and being the right kind of sarcastic well they both are, to alike-ness GAH I loved both the characters!

I don’t want to say any more because this really will shock you because not only is it fast love, but the mystery, the truth….gah, you will never be able to figure out what’s to come next with this. I really was taken back and forgot how much I love Kylie’s books because her writing is something else. It’s something different AND REAL! Absolutely couldn’t get enough of this book!

TOP 2020 MUST READ!

R E V I E W ➠ Down And Dirty by Kendall Ryan

(Hot Jocks #5)

GOODREADS – AMAZON – AUTHOR WEBSITE

Remember that time you accidentally woke up in Vegas married to your hot younger guy friend?
That’s basically my life right now.  
Mistakes were made, okay?
He’s too young for me. Twenty-three to my thirty. And he’s saving himself for the right girl.
Yup. Apparently I’ve married the last alpha-male virgin on the planet. And my stubborn, oddly traditional, new husband doesn’t want a divorce.
He wants me.
Complicated doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Down and Dirty is a sexy romp with a hero you’ll melt for and a relatable, sassy heroine you’ll love. If you’re a fan of steamy romances with laugh out loud moments, grab yourself a copy– you won’t regret it! 

RELEASE DATE: March 10, 2020

Not my first read by the author, she is one of my favorites! I have also read all the others in the series & LOVED!!

This was a bit unconventional as in reverse roll type. The heroine is 7 rears the hero’s senior. The hero might be younger but definitely not not alpha haha that made sense to me in NY head. It’s a sweet story of two people that arose from a “mistake” and found that being together had its perks, being around one another wasn’t a hardship. Like i said i really doubt want to give out too much, but still the sports romance, older heroine, unconventional hero, all wrapped up in fate.
