Review: Royal by Cee Bowerman

Royal by Cee Bowerman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Paula is busy focusing on her daughter and her family when she gets dragged out to a bachelor auction and sees Royal Conner on stage. She met him briefly and thought he was the most gorgeous man she had ever met but never thought she would see him again. Deciding she needs one night of fun she intends to win him but life happens and her big win gets pushed off for awhile.

Royal has sworn off women for a year because he seems to find the craziest women he can find. When he gets called to go on his date he is reluctant because he saw the winners and he is not sure which Golden Girl he won, but when he finds out it is Paula he is thrilled. He wants Paula for more then one night and has a plan to insert himself into her life but Paula is a woman who is used to being in control can she begin to share the load?

Paula’s family is hilarious reminded me of Golden Girls meets Sunset Boulevard meets Designing Women, they are so much fun and hope they have moments in future books because it is hilarious. Royal was wonderful and determined when it comes to Paula. Paula is used to being in control and it is hard for her to give up some of that control she keeps close to her chest. This was one of those books you pick up and finish in one sitting.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Evelyn Wilson is holding a secret that has made it difficult to get close to others. She is working for the Hayes brothers and despite trying to stay away she finds herself getting close to Wyatt Hayes. Wyatt didn’t want to fall hard for Evelyn but he did, what happens though when she reveals her carefully guarded secret, will he stand by her or ruin the best thing that ever happened to him?

This was another great read from this talented author. Can’t wait for more books on the Hayes family, they are full of characters I definitely want to read more about. I enjoyed Evelyn and Wyatt’s story, wanted to pummel Wyatt at one point but overall great story.

Review: Arresting Jeremiah by Amber Daulton

Arresting Jeremiah by Amber Daulton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jeremiah “Jim” Borden has long been harboring feelings for waitress Calista Barlow, but he has stayed away until she finds out he is injured and shows up on his door step with food. Jim is ready to see where it will go with Calista but what he doesn’t realize is that someone is after Calista. Calista has a lot on her plate and is not one to trust easily, but something about Jim has Calista wanting to try. Can she find happiness with Jim or are they doomed to fail?

I thought the chemistry was fantastic between Jim and Calista. I appreciated the fact that Calista was a dedicated mother and hard worker who is doing the best she can. I thought the evolution of Jim was intriguing, a lot in this story takes place and I definitely want to go back and read the first book. Terrific story.

Review: Quit Bein Ugly by Lani Lynn Vale

Quit Bein’ Ugly by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Carmichael was thrilled to finally get the date she had been longing for when her long time crush Croft Cruise finally asked her out. The day of their date though Croft made a mistake that had Mikey staying out of his path and not in any mood to forgive and forget. Six months later Croft still doesn’t know what happened with Mikey and when Croft ends up needing someone to help him out, grudgingly his next door Mikey is the obvious choice. Can Mikey keep her hurt tamped down or will she finally get her chance with Croft?

I am saddened to see this series come to an end because it was so delightful. I was anxious to see where Mikey’s story would go and was thrilled by this one unraveled. Mikey is a handful and Croft is trying to wrap his head around what went wrong. I thought it was entertaining that on one hand Croft is this alpha male and on the other he is completely oblivious. Another wonderful read by this author.

Review: Good Girl by D.D. Prince

Good Girl by D.D. Prince
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Austin Carmichael has a huge chip on his shoulder, he is dealing with family drama thanks to his Mother, he has to head to New York to deal with some problems with work and the girl he was interested in ghosted him. Now in New York Austin is in a piss poor mood only to walk into the apartment he is using to find it trashed and a party going on.

Jada knows she is in deep trouble, she is barely making it and has been dealing with her brother who has is spiraling out of control. When she meets Austin he wants her fired for what is going on, however she had no idea this was going on. Jada reaches out to his brother Aiden and his new wife to explain what happened and now Austin has to share the apartment with Jada and he is waiting for her to screw up. What he doesn’t realize is that Jada is a down to earth girl who could quickly work her way into his heart if he would let himself trust again.

I had anxiously been waiting for this book after reading Alphahole I loved every minute of this one, Austin was a jerk through and through to Jada, but when he realizes she is not his enemy he begins to enjoy his time with her. However someone is out to spoil his new found relationship with Jada and Austin is juggling what he needs to do. Don’t want to divulge too much of this plot as it was completely unexpected. Another fantastic read by this author.

Review: Jailbait by Lani Lynn Vale

Jailbait by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Trick saw her in a bar, she was the most gorgeous woman he had ever seen. Little did he know that she would alter his life forever. Twelve years later Trick made a deal to join the Souls Chapel Revenants MC to get out of prison. Why was he in prison, because he wronged the wrong people even if the man he was serving time for deserved it.

Swayze owes Trick, she has done everything she can to right the wrongs done to him. She knows he probably hates her but when she sees him again twelve years later she does everything in her power to give his space, even though she wants him more then ever. Trick though is fooling himself thing he can stay away from Swayze and when a few mishaps push them together the stop denying what is building between them, the problem is though someone is determined to hurt the both of them.

I think this might be my favorite series so far. I was not sure how this story would unfold and it surprised me. The story grasps your attention immediately and you don’t put the book down until the very end. Chemistry off the chart. Swayze is one of the more interesting female characters, she is harsh and full of sass loved her. Amazing read.

Review: Soul of my Soul by Lisa Helen Gray

Soul of my Soul by Lisa Helen Gray
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The moment Lily Carter was brought into the Carter family she was treated like glass. Adopted by Maverick and Teagan and raised as there own, but the short life she led before that leaves her broken at times and triggers have a way of not being able to control even though she is careful about her environment.

Jaxon Hayes has always seen Lily and has held a crush on her, but she has always been untouchable. One night though changes everything and Jaxon decides that he is tired of denying his feelings for Lily and wants a shot with Lily, she is his game changer. The problem is that the Carter’s and Hayes are enemies and their love for one another is forbidden. They plan on bringing everyone into the fold but want some time to explore what they have, what happens though when the family finds out. Will it tear Lily’s family apart or make them stronger?

So I made the mistake, unbeknownst to me to read Maddox before Soul of my Soul. Lily and Jaxon story is a big plot point in Maddox book but you don’t know how or why they got together. This book fills you in and was an emotional read. Lily is stronger then what she is given credit for in previous books. Jaxon sees that with Lily and he treats her like gold but he also knows she has a back bone. Wonderful story, was better then what I expected given I had a glimpse previously into their story.

Review: One More Time by Aurora Rose Reynolds

One More Time by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aria Heart returns home to Ruby Falls not really because of her family but because it is the only place she ever felt at home. Deciding on buying a house that needs more work than she was prepared for she ends up hiring Tide Goodman for some of the extra work she needs.

Tide remembers Aria, he was never close to her but knew she came from a wealthy family and was in no way in his league. However, Tide gets to know Aria and quickly realizes he likes everything about her. Aria is not ready to trust again but something about Tide has Aria wanting to take a chance. Can Tide who has been burned before find what he always hoped to have in a relationship with Aria?

Another phenomenal read from this author. I was curious as to what Tide’s story would be and it was more than I expected. Aria is terrific, she has been raised to be basically a show pony but has fond her own way and owns it. Wonderful story.

Review: Playing For Keeps by Jessica Prince

Playing for Keeps by Jessica Prince
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Charlotte Belmont has had a life filled with regrets and wrong decisions but after a man she thought she trusted turned out to be another vile mistake, Charlotte did everything she could to fix it. It ended up almost costing her her life, but she has knows she has righted a wrong. During that time though she was put under Dalton Prescott’s care to keep her protected, until she took matters into her own hands.

Months later Dalton still wants answers as to why Charlotte ran. Problem is Charlotte keeps pushing him away and although Dalton is biding his time though. He knows Charlotte is meant to be his but Charlotte has walls he is trying to knock down. What happens when Charlotte does take a chance on Dalton, cans she trust him fully or will it hold her back?

I wasn’t sure if I would like Charlottes story as she was introduced in the previous book and you didn’t really have a lot of her back history. I was thrown for a loop with Charlotte, she is a wonderful character who just has had no one really by her side. Dalton was different then what I expected he is honed in solely on Charlotte and sees all of her and the wonderful person she is. Amazing story.
