From His Lips (part 1.5) are rare and priceless glimpses into the mind of the unforgettable Troy Heathgate during book 1. It was amazing to know his thoughts, feelings and struggles.
Declan + Coraline (part 0.5) takes place 2 years prior to Ruthless People and opens up to when Declan A. Callahan, Liam’s cousin and key member of the Callahan clan first meets heiress, banker and recent college graduate Coraline E. Wilson, Cora.
We get to follow Declan and Cora through ups and downs as they get to know each other and learn about family secrets and painful pasts. Though worlds apart these two souls have more in common than you might think. We also get to meet the rest of the Callahan clan, including a very single and cocky Liam Callahan and even have a cameo by The Boss herself…
Nine words to describe Coraline E. Wilson, Cora: Smart, lonely, meek, naïve, loyal, trusting, dependable and easy-going .
For me, having read book 1-3 first and already being familiar with Declan and Coraline, this novella was icing on the cake, and therefore a 5-star.
Brilliant story-telling! Excellent character development! Scorching sex scenes by a very commanding, assertive and dirty-talking Declan! It’s the final piece in the puzzle of what‘s been an epic 6-star family saga.Kudos JJ!

“Because You★★★★1/2! Because You Are Mine series, book 1-8 of 8. Another whirlwind romance with a dominant & controlling, rich & sexy alpha male hero!
“Because You Are Mine” (Ian’s & Francesca’s story) is an 8-part series, released in the fall of 2012. Combined they make a 368-page read. Please note that the Omnibus will be released in March 2013. And there will be a sequel to this series, “When I'm With You” (Lucien’s & Elise’s story) to be released in 8 weekly installments starting March 3, 2013 (series complete by April 23, 2013).
Since I am a reader in need of a HEA, I made sure I waited to read this series until all installments had been released. I read it in one sitting, thus I will review as a set.
Hero: Ian Noble/British/30 years old/mogul-playboy/$$$$/dark hair/blue eyes/dom Heroine: Francesca Arno/American/23 years old/student-artist/red-gold hair/brown eyes/innocent
Francesca is a young artist, who entered her painting in a competition held by the billionaire, Ian Noble. She wins the competition and is commissioned to create the centerpiece painting for the lobby of Ian’s new Chicago Skyscraper. The book opens up at the reception held in her honor. Ian and Francesca are introduced and she feels in instant attraction (recognizing he is out of her league) while he is intrigued, but reserved. He knows she is too innocent for the likes of him. Francesca is a bohemian; she is naïve, sweet and kind. She has a strained relationship with her parents, never quite measuring up. She lives with her three male roommates who are very protective of her. Ian, on the other hand, is the rich and extremely successful business mogul; he is enigmatic, worldly, handsome, sexy and oh so dominant and too “corrupted” for her. But there is much more to it, because Ian is full of secrets. For starters: The reception was not their first encounter. Four years prior Francesca had painted “The Cat That Walks By Himself”. As it turns out Ian had been the inspiration for that painting. She had been sad to have to sell it. And Ian had bought and tracked her down…
Ian tries to fight his attraction to Francesca, but it’s a losing battle and so their whirlwind romance begins, taking us across the ocean while Ian and Francesca get to know each other and have lot of scorching hot sex. But as Ian’s secrets are revealed, his mysterious past continues to cast shadows over their relationship. Their love is challenged and their future threatened.
I thoroughly enjoyed Ian’s & Francesca’s story. And I very much look forward to Lucien’s & Elise’s story in “When I'm With You”.
Would I recommend this series: Yes. Would I re-read this series: Maybe later. Would I read future books by this author: Yes.

The Story Guy is the poignant and sweet tale of Carrie West, a corky librarian and Brian Newburgh, an attorney, who at first glance comes across as enigmatic and peculiar. But he is so much more than that! In fact he wrapped himself around my heart and moved me to tears. His secret will unfold with their story.

Kissing Brian is an experience; a combination of tantalizing passion, captivating skill and erotic abandon! Though Carrie can touch him everywhere it quickly becomes clear that the one place she wants to affect, his heart, is untouchable. Follow them as Carrie sets out to learn Brian’s story…

Hands down one of the best series I have ever read. An against-all-odds forbidden love saga gets its extended epilogue in four parts.

Despite the threat of scandal student is swept into affair by famous playboy attorney!
In A Sense of Belonging (stand-alone) student Casey Jansen, much to her surprise, catches the eye of famous attorney, heir and playboy Tony Prossi. Casey quickly finds herself in over her head with a jaded Tony not interested in complicating his political future by dating a girl twelve years his junior. But moving on proves difficult for them both…
Told in dual POVs it’s a forbidden May-December romance set amidst Washington’s elite. The odds are stacked against them with the disapproval of family and the threat of scandal, amplified by Casey’s inexperience in stark contrast to Tony’s aloofness and manwhoring ways. Tony controlled the story and it was my absolute pleasure to watch his fall into whipped.

Senator Wolfe Keaton stole a kiss, he stole her everything, or did he?!
The Kiss Thief (stand-alone) opens up to the mapped-out-life of nineteen-year-old mob princess Francesca Rossi aka Nemesis. While attending a dinner she is mocked by senator and heir Wolfe Keaton aka Villain. A stolen kiss later and she finds herself engaged to the infuriating senator and thrown into a game of power and a quest for revenge.
Told from dual POVs it’s an enemies-to-lovers, May-December romance set in the mob world. Though it may come across as a triangle, to me there was never any doubt that Wolfe could be the only hero. He’s ruthless, cunning, aloof, mysterious, blunt yet possessive. He manipulated every situation while the truth behind his contempt for the young heiress is slowly revealed.
Spectacular! Seductive! Sex-on-a-stick hero! A glued-to-your-kindle read!

Sara’s life is turned up-side down by mysterious & non-committal “Hot Suit” mogul with a 9-inch cock!
Mogul (stand-alone) opens up to Sara Davies sharing a cab with a sex-on-a-stick stranger aka Hot Suit and realizing they are both heading to the same location, the hotel where she works as a concierge and apparently his room for the night. Later in the evening she gets a call from room 1103 ordering her to its doorstep where she is pulled into hours of Hot Suit fucking her senseless. Afterwards the sexy stranger brushes her off and sends her on her way.
The show must go on… And so it does for Sara, mostly anyway, until one day their paths cross and her world is thrown off its axel yet again. Her sexy stranger turns out to be movie mogul Ian Ford and this time around he’s prepared to offer repeat performances riding his talented tongue and 9-inch cock. Sex you cannot walk away from.

Heck I can’t get enough of Ian. [le pines!]
