Initial Thoughts Max you're killing me!!!! If you ever thought you wanted a book boyfriend Max is the one I would choose ;)
Full Review Where do I even bInitial Thoughts Max you're killing me!!!! If you ever thought you wanted a book boyfriend Max is the one I would choose ;)
Full Review Where do I even begin....I guess I should say HANDS OFF, MAX IS MINE! If there was ever a book boyfriend to be had I would want Max. The One Real Regret takes us on a journey of love, loss, regret, and second chances.
Jill and Max met when he was thirty-six and she was a twenty-two year old college student who was working part-time at a company Max was called in to consult on. The attraction was instant and overwhelming for each of them. But Max was in Seattle just for a few weeks while working on this consulting project. They agreed to a temporary fling but neither could prevent feelings from becoming involved.
Fast forward four years and Max and Jill met under similar circumstances at a different company but things are definitely not the same. YES the chemistry is still there but now there is hurt and betrayal as well. Can Jill find it in her heart to forgive Max? Will Max come clean about his past and give in to accepting the love that he thinks he doesn't deserve?
I must admit that I was furious at time with Max but I totally understood where he was coming from after learning about his past. Did I agree with him? NO and that is why I was furious! The author did a wonderful job with taking us on the journey of not only Max and Jill in the current day but we get to see exactly what happened with them four years prior when they first met. We were also gifted with the insight of Max and Jill's upbringing which shaped each of them.
I have truly enjoyed each of the stories in the Bachelor Series and I had been waiting for Max's since the very beginning and now I'm torn, I'm thrilled to have read it and loved it, but, it also means the series/trilogy has come to an end, and I can honestly say I am going to miss each of these men and the fabulous women that have stolen their hearts.
The One Real Regret is an easy book to recommend to lovers of contemporary romance. This can easily be read as a standalone but I would suggest reading the trilogy in order that way you get to meet Jordan and Finn and have the buildup to Max's story the way it was meant to be, I promise you will not be disappointed. Happy Reading!!!

Dara is a Harvester Death Witch, and Cruz is a wolf shifter; their bond is more than fated mates…so much more. I wish I could tell you but I don't do spoilers because I always believe you should go into the book without knowing what happens other than what is made available in the blurb. I do, however, give trigger warnings if needed. So you won't get anything from me other than this is by far my favorite of the series to date, and that is saying something since I have been enjoying this series.

(view spoiler)[ Start #BingeReading the Second Circle Tattoos series by Scarlett Cole with the new box set containing all four novels and an exclusive extended epilogue with your favourite heroes! Get all four books in the series now for a discounted price!
One grand prize winners will receive a $10 Amazon Gift Card and the runner-up prize will be a copy of the box set including all four books in the series and an exclusive extended epilogue.
These are the heroes of Second Circle Tattoos. Trent, Cujo, Dred, Reid. And now all four books are together for the first time in a fabulous, low priced eBook box set featuring an exclusive epilogue. Why pick one book boyfriend when you can have all four?
The Strongest Steel Harper Connelly never expected to find herself outside of a tattoo parlor at one in the morning. The scars that decorate her back are just one more reminder of things she'd rather forget, the past she wants to leave far behind her, but before she can move on, she needs him. Trent Andrews has his own reasons for specializing in inking over scars. And there's no way in hell he's going to turn Harper away. Being with Harper is like going ten rounds in the ring—exhilarating, powerful, and dangerous. She stirs feelings in him he thought were long gone... if he can only get past her carefully constructed defenses.
The Fractured Heart Tattoo artist Brody "Cujo" Matthews knows how to keep things simple. In life and in love.That all changes when he meets Drea Caron, the definition of high maintenance and sizzling curves. And the one woman he doesn’t want to walk away from. Andrea "Drea" Caron is broke and tired. After years of caring for her ailing mom, she's at the end of her rope trying to manage the piling medical bills, two jobs, and a life placed on hold. She certainly doesn’t need the added frustration of a sexy playboy tattoo artist messing up her carefully balanced life. Too bad the universe has other ideas.
The Purest Hook Rugged, hot, and rock hard, Dred Zander is exactly the type of man that normally sends Pixie running. Not dreaming about running her hands down his washboard abs...and lower. The lead singer and guitarist for the band Preload embodies trouble behind his quick smile and guarded eyes, and Pixie left trouble behind her years ago along with the name Sarah Jane Travers and the pathetic trailer her mom called home. But Dred has other ideas. Pixie's sweet hazel eyes, purple hair and kaleidoscopic tattoo of exotic flowers that swirl up her arm haunt his dreams, and he's ready to fight like hell to keep that feeling.
The Darkest Link When her car breaks down off the side of a lonely highway far from her sunny Miami home, tattoo artist Lia never expected her very own white knight to ride up on the back of a barely street-legal motorcycle...and she never expected to fall for her dark savior. A bruised heart Lia is not looking for forever, and the hot mechanic, with his sexy scruff and shaggy hair, is simply impossible to resist. He's the perfect candidate for a mind-blowingly-perfect, no-strings-attached one-night stand. But when their fling becomes something more and Reid surprises her at her tattoo studio, Second Circle Tattoos, he's in for a shock—and a fist to the face—when his past and present collide.
Exclusive excerpt: "So, I don't want you to get mad, Shortcake, but I have a surprise for you," Cujo said. Nervously, he ran his hand through his blond hair as the opulent elevator of the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas took him and his unsuspecting soon-to-be fiancée up to their room. He studied Drea's hazel eyes. Eyes that lit up when she smiled, that became red and blotchy when she cried, and went wide when she came apart in his arms like she had in bed that morning. Right now they looked at him suspiciously. "More of a surprise than this morning when you woke me and told me I had an hour to pack and get ready?" She grinned at him and flicked her long-layered hair over her shoulder. "A surprise I am very grateful for. It’s a nice break before I go back for my second year of school." Confidently, Drea stepped toward him, lifted up onto her toes, and brushed her lips against his in a kiss which had him second guessing the surprise waiting for them in their room. He should have ensured it would be empty so he could throw her down on the bed, claim one more state on his places-I-fucked-Drea map. But that was going to have to wait, because first he had to get down on one knee and ask the one question he'd been so certain she'd say yes to when he’d put all of the plans in place. Now he was less than ten minutes away from doing the deed, he wasn't feeling quite so confident. He loved her with every fucking cell in his body and was certain she felt the same way. So why was asking her to confirm that with a ring so nerve-wracking? He’d inked her name on his body. Hell, all the tattoos on his left arm were dedicated to her. So why should putting ink on a piece of paper, a marriage certificate, feel so much more important?
[image] Coming soon from Scarlett Cole: Jordan Reclaimed (Preload #1)!
Jordan Steele’s life began when he was ten. When he was taken from his parents and a house that was never a home. When he met his brothers, the other lost and abandoned boys in his group home. When he learned what friendship and family and love looked like.
Now he’s made good, touring the world with the band he and his brothers formed in that crowded group home. No one but his found family really knows the man under the fame and fortune, the scars he hides behind the rockstar lifestyle. Until he sees her through the windows of the National Ballet, dancing, and suddenly the world doesn’t seem so dark.
Aleksandra Artemov ticks all the ballet boxes. Father a legendary Kirov dancer. Check. Prepping since birth for classical ballet. Check. Compulsive control over the food she eats. Check. Principal dancer at The National Ballet of Canada. Check. But what she craves is freedom.
She craves Jordan.
Everything about him should terrify her. His size, his tattoos, his edge. But he doesn’t. He stirs her very soul. Jordan has nothing but himself to offer her, and he's never been good enough for anyone. Can he figure out how to face his own demons before he loses his light for good?

Her debut, THE STRONGEST STEEL, has already become an Amazon best seller in romantic suspense, was a Best Debut Goodreads Author Finalist 2015, and Authors On The Air Global Radio Network Contemporary Romance Pick of 2015.

By reading the synopsis of the book I knew that this was going to be a heartbreaking story but what I didn't know how I was going to react to it. I can say TISSUES were a MUST!!!
First the story starts with you hearing from Taylor Marie Smith a 17 year old Texas girl that has a rare form of leukemia tell her mother she wants her to help her find a lover. She doesn't want to die a virgin. Then we meet Gavin Taylor who is a 25 year old Computer genius that owns multi-billion dollar Computer company in California and he is looking for a wife to spend his last days with. Taylor and Gavin meet because of a Cancer Survivor Mentor Program. Gavin is to be Taylor's Mentor. Taylor is totally in love with Gavin as soon as she meets him but Gavin is totally aware of their age difference and is determined not to let her get attached to him. They found LOVE IN A HOPELESS PLACE! This was a well written story; I felt as if I were there living their lives with them and my heart broke every time theirs did. I CANNOT wait to read the next book in the series.

There are just no words for how good this book was! And that is really saying something with the amount of books I read. I have loved everything I've read by Janet Nissenson but this book was the absolute best ever! We all know that the chemistry rocks when opposites attracts but what happens when two people are similar in ways they don't even realize? Well, meet the man-eater and the man-whore. Yes, you read that right. They both don't believe in commitments and while one may sleep around more than the other they both break things off before they can get anywhere near serious and forget about ever thinking long term relationship....HA as if! The Manwhore and the Maneater who will come out on Top?
The Bachelor Trilogy is about three friends, Jordan, who finds his Happily Ever After in the first book of the series The Girl of His Dreams, Finn, this is his book, and Max, whose book has yet to be released. The men became friends in college and are now all in or very near forty years old and still single but hopefully over time they will find their special someone to spend the rest of their days with but first they have some things they have to overcome and Finn's issue is being a MANWHORE! He has been with so many women even he has lost count YIKES! But honestly with a guy like him it will take a very special woman to tame the beast.
Delilah is what her loving assistant calls a MANEATER because she may spend some time with them but she cuts them off before they can get to close. She isn't afraid of dating the same person for a little while but she will never let a man come between her and her career so off they go before they get to clingy. And yes she has broken a few hearts along the way but she is okay with that, what she isn't okay with is taking orders from a man or being deceived by one.
Finn has changed a LOT in this book, he turns to his friends and actually asks for help in order to catch the girl and you know right there that this one is the one because that has NEVER happened before. I loved the chemistry between the two and I loved watching each of them overcome their hangups/insecurities in order to be with the other. I would recommend reading the series in order because all three friends are prominent in each book and you will have a better understanding of each of the characters and it will avoid spoilers from the previous book, that being said this book can be read as a standalone if that is what you choose to do. Happy Reading!!!

Wicked Player is the third book in the Rough Riders Series but it can be read as a standalone, which is the way I read it. I have the first to books on my kindle so I'm not sure why I haven't read them yet but after reading this book I will be definitely going back and reading them the first chance I get. This was an Amazing read, hot and spicy but a bit of a tearjerker as well.
This book had a lot going on but it wasn't to much, by that I mean the story had a few different aspects but they worked well together and didn't overpower or take away from any of the others. I felt there were equal parts of of all emotions going on.
Elizabeth and Gage are both in the spotlight so neither of them would want their identities released to the tabloids stating that they go to a sex club, especially Gage for many reasons this is why they both use different names, Beth and John, but Gage takes it a step further and has his subs blindfolded and brought into a room for him to have one night of pleasure with. But something happens when Beth and John meet and neither want it to end with just one night.
I loved this story, I loved the chemistry between Elizabeth and Gage, I loved the emotions it brought out in me...even though I didn't like one of the reasons it had me crying uncontrollably....I even liked Elizabeth's the jerk of an ex that added another layer to the story.
This is, as with all of the other books by Stacey Lynn, an easy book to recommend for anyone 18 and over that enjoys a good romance with a lot of spice in the bedroom...or out of it ;) Happy Reading!!!

We start Part I by going back fifteen years when Stone, Stevie, and Nico spend one incredible night together. These three have such amazing chemistry that it changes each of them after just one encounter. If I tell you that Stone is only 21 and Stevie and Nico are in their late teens and still in High School, would that change your thoughts on how Hot things can be? It shouldn't because HOT doesn't even come close to describing how amazing these three are together. Scorching...yes, that might be a better word to describe them.

I was recently turned onto Lily White's books (September 2017) and I must admit that I am a fan, especially of her Dark Romances which is what I have read until this little gem. Crazy Madly Deeply was a gut wrenching read, which totally broke my heart. From the very first page I was pulled in and Holden held my heart until well after I finished the book. This story was so very different from others that I have read by Lily White but honestly I'll take her stories anyway she wants to write them, her brilliance comes through in each and every page.

I love this series. It has the perfect amount of Suspense, Heat, and Drama. THE WOMAN BY THE LAKE is the third book in the MISTED PINES SERIES. While I love this series. It has the perfect amount of Suspense, Heat, and Drama. THE WOMAN BY THE LAKE is the third book in the MISTED PINES SERIES. While each book focuses on one couple, I recommend reading them in the order they were released since they mention prior couples and some crossover.
"Doc" Riggs lives a quiet life on a large parcel of land in the woods, including a lake and a very annoying new neighbor. Nadia Williams is renting a cabin for the next year in Misted Pines. She needs to get away from her Chicago home and everything there that reminded her of her mother's murder several months earlier. Their meet-cute was fun, but their second meeting was hilarious.

Move over Rock Chicks & Hot Bunch and get ready for the Avenging Angels & Hottie Squad!
This spin-off series is off to a great start and I for one cannot wait to get more of the AAHS! I have been a fan of Kristen Ashley's for years and I absolutely LOVED the Rock Chick Series so when I heard she was doing a spin-off I couldn't wait to see what she had in store for us and to say that I was giddy with joy when this little baby arrived would be an understatement. This is like a next gen series, although most of the kids from the Rock Chick Series are too young there are a few that aren't, like "Cap" for instance. You may not recall who he is and there is a good reason for that, he wasn't called "Cap" back then he was known as Julien Jackson or "Sniff", and he is Shirleen Jackson's adopted son!
I finished this book a little over a week ago, but I am undecided on how to write my review. This isn't a new situation, but it doesn't happen often. I finished this book a little over a week ago, but I am undecided on how to write my review. This isn't a new situation, but it doesn't happen often. You see, this story had a new (for me) BDSM kink in it, and I was and still am mesmerized by it. Fire Kink has been glossed over as a background scene in a book or two, but I have never read a book that focused on it until now, and WOW, not only was it HOT, but it was sensual more than sexy, which surprised me. So do I concentrate on that, or do I focus on the love story of a Childhood crush that finally comes to fruition? Well, I'll continue to write, and we'll see how it goes.
I am so glad I have decided to venture out and read new authors because I am finding some outstanding ones, and Nikki Ash is one of them. THE RISK OF I am so glad I have decided to venture out and read new authors because I am finding some outstanding ones, and Nikki Ash is one of them. THE RISK OF FALLING is my first read of Nikki's, but honestly, it will NOT be my last. I was drawn in on page one. Sienna's love for her sister and the lengths she will go to to keep her safe are so heartwarming; it's a shame that their mom was a piece of work because she didn't deserve the two daughters she had.
Sienna works as an exotic dancer at night while attending college classes during the day and caring for her younger sister. She has a lot going on in her life, and there is no time for dating, so when she meets Micah, who wants to pursue her, she tells him no, but the handsome billionaire doesn't give up on her so easily.
I have no idea where to even start with this review. I guess the best insight I can give on what I thought of the book is to say that I read 780 pagesI have no idea where to even start with this review. I guess the best insight I can give on what I thought of the book is to say that I read 780 pages in two days....two days people! There are times I can't finish a three hundred page book in that time frame but I did and I am so glad I had the time to do it because I did not want to put this book down at any moment.
Spine Ridge University is not your typical college, it's a place to study business for the very wealthy and connected to attend. It's also the place where Penelope Richard's sister committed suicide, so Pen transfers to the school with the sole intent of finding out who was bullying her to the point where she decided to end her life.
The first people Penelope wants to look into are three guys that are part of the Skull & Serpent Society, one of the many fraternities that are on campus, Felix Rivera, Dylan Caruso, and Alistair King, there was something in her sisters journal that has her believing they are behind it and if not they know who is. Things get rather interesting when the four of them make a deal to find the bully, especially since the three guys are pretty big bullies themselves.
So many twists, some may shock you some may not, but what will not come as a shock is the chemistry between the four...holy hotness batman! DO NOT READ THIS BOOK WHERE PEOPLE CAN READ OVER YOUR SHOULDER. Please take this seriously because this book has a bunch of triggers so make sure you check out the authors website for the full list.
I would recommend this book to those that enjoy STEAMY DARK Romances, Bully Romances, or Why Choose Romances.

The chemistry between Dare and Tasha is sublime, and I would venture to say it's close to what her adoptive parents have. If you have read any of the M&M series, whether it was the Original Masters and Mercenaries Series, the Masters & Mercenaries: The Forgotten Series, or any of the other spin-off series, you'll want to read this book (series) as well. It has all of the action of the Forgotten Series, and all of the Heat of the M&M Series rolled into one.
