Review: Cole by Leah Sharelle

Cole by Leah Sharelle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Oaklee Banks was basically thrown aside by her teenage parents, neglected and withdrawn she ends up in and out of the hospital with a disease she still has issues with. Now she is flourishing and knows her triggers, she also has a huge crush on Cole Stephens but he doesn’t seem to notice her.

Cole definitely notices Oaklee but he has been warned to leave her be by his Dad. However one night changes all that and Oaklee and Cole find themselves sneaking around even though they both know they are building something special, what happens though when Cole finds out about Oaklee’s past and when they come out as a couple will everyone be accepting?

This had a bit more drama then the other books but none the less was a wonderful read. I liked Oaklee and she is a bit vulnerable at times but she is also really strong. Really liked Cole pure alpha male. Great story.

Review: His Sweetness by Leah Sharelle

His Sweetness by Leah Sharelle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ex-Commando Deck Johnston is busy splitting his time with work at his construction company, his MC club and his precocious three year old daughter. He was not planning on falling for his daughters daycare/ballet teacher but the minute he sees her his interest is there and he wants to see where it will go. Can Deck though trust Charlotte with his daughters though especially when a threat is coming threatening not only his daughter but his woman. Can he protect them from what is coming?

I liked this one quite a bit, I thought Deck was a bit of a jerk at one part but he quickly redeemed himself. His daughter Shiloh is a hoot, she has been raised by a group of bikers who have no filters and it shows. Charlotte is sweet and totally smitten with both Shiloh and Deck. Great beginning to new series.

Into The Fire by Leah Sharelle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Lake Campbell has been dealt with more blows then one should at her age. Raising her siblings and running her families bakery is difficult but she is a fighter and has no plans in changing things. Does she wish she could have an easier life, definitely so when she meets Carson Hogan she takes a chance.

Firefighter Carson Hogan has done everything he can to provide for his family. Even when he divorced his wife he still gave her money for her ridiculous spending habits, but he is growing tired of it. His daughters seem to share the same attitude as his ex but his son is all him. When he meets Lake, he feels it instantly. There is something about her he wants to explore and even though he has a difficult schedule he is making time to fit Lake and her family in his life. What neither of them plan for is that not everyone is happy that Carson has moved on with Lake, can they grow strong together or will those who wish them apart destroy them.

I absolutely loved this one, one of those books you want to pick up and reread right away. I thought the chemistry between Lake and Carson was spectacular and I thoroughly enjoyed the family dynamic with Lake and Carson’s son as well. Terrific read.

She has her reasons and when she begins to work under Nick Brooks she knows she is out of her element.

What happens when all is revealed though?

This was delightful. I thought the whole story pulled you in and I definitely need to go back and read the rest of the books in the series because clearly a lot more to the story about this family. I enjoyed this quite a bit and I would think I had it figured out only to be surprised. Several laugh out loud moments.

No Rep by Lani Lynn Vale
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fran is the reason for this particular class and she has a horrific past that has kept her living in a shell for the past couple of years but with her sisters help Fran is hoping this helps her gain more of her old self back.

Taos knows that Fran is something special and wants more time with her but as a former Detective he has been asked to help with a serial killer case that seems to be ramping up. Taos is dividing his time between Fran and the case but the more time he spends with Fran the more he knows she is his future. Can Fran find a new beginning letting go of the past with Taos or will a threat tear them apart.

I was not sure how this series would go because I don’t know a lot about Cross Fit but it was explained thoroughly through the book and you are rooting for Fran as she begins her journey. There is a lot to this story and the chemistry between Taos and Fran was fantastic. Loved all the characters and cannot wait for the next book.

Review: Give In by Layla Frost

Give In by Layla Frost
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Eden Wilder has a crush on her Professor, but he can’t seem to stand her. Doing her best to put herself through school, Eden made a decision to strip as it was the easiest way to make the most money quickly. She is not ashamed of her decision but she certainly doesn’t want to let her fellow students know as it would give her attention she doesn’t need while focusing on school. When her Professor walks in though and sees her things begin to change.

Damian has noticed Eden from the first day she attended his class, his desire for her has been building since then but seeing her stripping has Damian wanting to act on it. However he can’t really act on it or can he?

I found this one to be odd for me. I didn’t understand the whole wanting Eden but then acting like he couldn’t stand her and purposely ignoring her during certain situations. He is much older then Eden and yet he came off as the more immature at times. Interesting but just was not feeling it.

Review: Bull’s Duchess by Ciara St. James

Bull’s Duchess by Ciara St. James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bull never planned to find a woman again that would have him looking at a happily ever after again. He raised his daughter after losing his wife when she was young and as President of the Hunters Creek Archangels Warriors MC, his focus has been on his club. When he meets Jocelyn after helping her daughter home, he is interested but is she?

Jocelyn really has always put her daughter first after her parents kicked her out when she got pregnant in her teens. She has spent that time building a career but when Bull asks her out, she decides to see where it would lead. The problem is Bull has lived a full life, while Jocelyn has sheltered hers. Can she learn to trust Bull and what happens when they decide to take the next step?


Out of all the books this is my favorite. I reread it four days later because it was that good. I liked that the issues Bull and Jocelyn work through were real issues I could see a split family could have. I also liked the story between Devyn and Ace. Terrific read.

I think this book is the best one in the series so far. I was hooked from the beginning and really liked Loki’s character. I am curious to see if there will be a story for CeeCee’s best friend Patsy. Terrific series, really enjoying this series thus far.
