The second book in a laugh-out-loud new contemporary romance series from Alison Bliss!

Big girls don’t cry. They go after what they want.

Thanks to her bangin’ curves, Valerie Carmichael has always turned heads-with the exception of seriously sexy Logan Mathis. Just Valerie’s luck that the object of her lust-filled affection is also best friends with her overprotective brother. But Valerie’s determined to get Logan’s attention . . . even if it means telling a teeny little lie to get a job at his new bar.

Logan can’t remember a time when Valerie didn’t secretly fuel all his hottest fantasies. Now the curvaceous she-devil is working behind his bar, tempting him every damn night. It’s only when he finds Valerie’s naughty things-to-do list that Logan decides to break every rule in the book-by making each red-hot deed a reality.

No one warned them that they were going to fall this hard. And no one warned them that sometimes the smallest secrets can have the biggest consequences.

I received a book from the author for an honest review.

Oh LAWD do I love me some Logan and Valerie.  Those two were killing me!!!

Valerie pinned away her entire youth over her brother’s best friend never knowing he too was interested in her but the 4 year age gap was a pretty big deal.  Now fast forward to today annnnnd well all bets are off.  The two do a terrible job hiding their attraction and everyone…well almost everyone except for her bother Brett….noticed.

When Logan finds, a joke note of sexual things Valerie wants to explore and THINKS she dropped it there for HIM as a challenge…all bets are off.  The two begin a very dangerous and fun game of “what can we check off Val’s naughty list.”  As they keep playing they are starting to let it slip how much they mean to each other but at the same time they are afraid to tell Val’s brother of their relationship.

When a past disgruntled employee comes back and causes issue it makes all the secrets spill out in the open.  The two have a giant hurdle to overcome if they are going to make it as a couple or if they are done checking things off the list.

I loved the banter between the two.  I also loved how alpha Logan was but did want to throat punch him a time or two for his dismissal of Val and her feelings.  I loved seeing Leah and Sam finally get married but Max….yeah old Max.  I want a book allll about you Mr. Trouble Maker/Math Maker!!

As the youngest of five girls, Alison Bliss has never turned down a challenge…or been called by the right name. Her writing career may have started out as a dare by one of her sisters, but Alison hasn’t put her pen down since.

She grew up on a small island off the Texas Gulf Coast, where most of her childhood vacations consisted of camping or hunting trips to the deer lease. Although she’ll always be a Texan at heart, Alison currently resides in the Midwest with her Iowa farm-boy husband and their two sons. With so much testosterone in her home, it’s no wonder she writes “girl books.”

She’s an animal lover, a closet video game enthusiast, and believes the best way to know if someone is your soul mate is by canoeing with them because if you both make it back alive, it’s obviously meant to be. Alison’s an avid romance reader who enjoys penning the type of books she loves to read most: fun, steamy love stories with heart, heat, laughter, and usually a cowboy or two. As she calls it, “Romance…with a sense of humor.”

Minnow Korsgaard works a dead end job to make ends meet. When she’s hired to take care of a wealthy old man with no social skills, she’s excited to have found work in her field.

Severin Leduc is only thirty. He’s also a dominant, tattooed brute who’s needs someone to break through the walls he’s built.

Minnow’s submissive nature sparks against Severin’s dominance. Torrid sexual attraction flares between them. Sharing her with his best friend, Rodrigo, only strengthens their growing bond, and Severin’s life is scattered into chaos. Will he learn to trust her, or will he live the rest of his life forgotten?

September 2017  – Pre-Order Book 2, Tragic King Amazon for 99C

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Holy Mother….what have they done to me?  I am totally and forever ruined by Sev.   He owns a piece of my soul…and Sadists scare the ever-loving crap outta me.  #WhatHappened????

Ok so here goes…….I loved that there are references to Beauty and the Beast in this book because honestly THAT is a true representation of these two flawed individuals.

Sev….*Sigh* If I thought he might let me curl up in his lap I would and try to make all the hurt go away buuuut remember he is a sadist and well he kinda digs the pain.  He is so closed off and afraid to let people in.  When he loves, he does it fierce and with all the loyalty he has.  When he begins to let our Minnow in, and he tells his story….the anguish you feel and the hurt you have.  You my reaction is the same as Minnows.  I was ready to cut a B!!!

Minnow is the most amazing person.  She meets Sev and is drooling immediately but she can feel the Dominant in him.  She is a moth to his flame.  She is all for it and pushes him not knowing all his history.  When he finally accepts her into his heart, holy sweet Jesus!!! The ballroom will never be the same!! *Snickers because you have no clue what I am talking about!*

Now the two of them have a trusty side kick names Ro. I FLOVE him.  He is the right person to help our H/h get together *snickers again* .  He is the perfect fit of friend and tag team partner for the couple plus there is an under lying need there he has to have a connection much like Sev and Minnow.

The end of the book is a bit of a cliffy….we are left with some of Sev’s past coming back to haunt him.  So we need to know if Sev and Minnow are strong enough to weather this storm together or will Sev’s fear and past force him to push her and is best friend away.

Two writers in two countries transform into the super writing duo, Sparrow Beckett, each night after wrangling their housefuls of children and pets. They trade the cape and colorful tights for tattoos and cups of coffee then set out to create a world where readers fall in love with heroes and the women who willingly go to their knees for them. Their books are the products of two kinky minds who don’t take themselves too seriously.

Jace “the Jet” Benning is a legend on the football field. And off. He has the arm, the charm, and the reputation of being the hottest player in the league.

Too bad Dr. Alessandra Mastrazacoma is not impressed.

With a busy schedule and a bruised heart, Alessandra doesn’t have time to date, but when she is lured into making a friendly bet with her best friend, she finds herself agreeing to go out with the next guy that asks…and to give him three shots, three dates, before pulling the plug.

Jace also has a friendly wager with his friends going, and it involves making sure the slightly klutzy, but very pretty, doctor will be his date to the biggest night in sports. With two wagers and two hearts on the line, will Aly and Jace win or are they betting to lose?

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

I love these ladies’ writings and have been a fan since their first book came out.

This book is a sweet and kinda predictable story about a guy and a girl who run into each other.  The girl, Alessandra, has no clue who the hottie, Jace, even is.   Then Jace is bet by a friend and he needs to get Alessandra to go out with him.  She is like not even close to thinking he is worth her time.   But her friends convince her to go out with the hottie and give him a chance.

The banter is funny between the characters but I didn’t feel the heat like I usually do and especially from their fist books.  One thing I did love about the story was Alessandra was kinda a hot mess.  LOL  She was super smart but kinda clueless in social situations…….like if you talked to her you would think AWKWARD which I thought was hilarious because the authors themselves say and do things that cause them to laugh at themselves.  So I kept thinking “Was the Elizabeth or Hayley who wrote that scene?”

I liked the story and if you are wanting to read something sweet and easy then this is a great book.  Its pretty angst free but has a fun feel to it.

Elizabeth Hayley is actually “Elizabeth” and “Hayley,” two friends who love reading romance novels to obsessive levels. This mutual love prompted them to put their English degrees to good use by penning their own. The product is Pieces of Perfect, their debut novel. They learned a ton about one another through the process, like how they clearly share a brain and have a persistent need to text each other constantly (much to their husbands’ chagrin).

They live with their husbands and kids in a suburb of Philadelphia. Thankfully, their children are still too young to read.

Elizabeth Hayley’s writing motto is best captured by the words of Patrick Dennis: “I always start with a clean piece of paper and a dirty mind.”

As the illegitimate daughter of a Scottish earl, Lady Magdalen Keith is not one to partake in lavish balls or other frivolities. Yet at her father’s urging, she agrees to dance with the battle-weary officers at this year’s holiday masquerade. It’s practically her civic duty! But when one such officer—whose dashing good looks cannot be disguised by a mere mask—sweeps her off her feet and into his arms, the innocent lass can’t help herself. Her lips are his for the taking.

But will he betray his country for a kiss?

Navy lieutenant Aiden Murray has spent too many months at sea to be immune to the charms of this lovely beauty. Even after he returns to his ship, she lives in his dreams. But when he discovers Maddie’s true identity—and learns that her father is accused of treason—will the brawny Scot risk his life to follow his heart?

Review by Jordan

Ever find it hard to talk about yourself? Yeah, I have that problem, too. I have been married to my soulmate for 8 years, who wouldn’t pick up a book unless promised that it was filled with pictures. I have a beautiful 7 year old daughter, Riley, that talks too much and has a very vivid imagination. I have no clue where she got those traits. My step-son, Hayden, is 16 and very into football and hunting. I am a writer of paranormal suspense romance. If you enjoy a great love story with a massive amount of drama about angels, demons, ghosts, vampires, witches and fairy tale creatures brought to life through a twisted mind, then you might just enjoy reading my work.

Attending a co-worker’s Halloween party dressed as a sexy fairy was the worst decision Shelby Maxwell made all week. That is until she lets her temper get the best of her in front of Dallas’s finest and ends up in the back of a police cruiser. Too bad the gorgeous jerk responsible for her bad behavior didn’t have the sense to avoid the police, himself.

When someone shoots up the party, the gorgeous jerk, Nick Kang, sprouts fur, explodes out of the police cruiser, and saves the day. Nick’s jerk streak continues as he leaves Shelby to explain what happened.

After her name is released to the press, a penitent Nick arrives to protect Shelby from the killer’s mafia associates. Close quarter guarding leads to close quarter groping and a little more intimacy than Shelby is prepared for. But it may be time to put her past behind her and accept far more than the safety Nick offers.

Review by Becky

Anya writes stories with romantic slants. Sometimes they’re extra naughty and sometimes they’re sickeningly sweet.

She reviews books on a different, secret profile.

I’m a pawn, a piece of chattel, a toy–used and forgotten.

When you’re done with me, you can walk away with no regrets. That’s how my husband sees me. I try to be the best wife possible for him. After all, he took me on when no one else would. Now–he’s in debt and owes more money to the loan shark than we can possibly repay.

But, don’t worry, he’s come up with a solution, it’s just not one I was expecting.

…I’ve been TRADED.

I bought this book from the author after meeting her at a signing plus seeing this book and thinking HEY that looks GREAT!!

SO I thought based on the blurb that this book was going to be kinda dark.  Don’t get me wrong, the subject matter of domestic violence is not pretty or light to touch on but it wasn’t the dubious consent kinda book I half expected…SHEW!!

Elena is married to an AWESOME guy said no woman ever.  She is subjected to daily abuse by him.  When he shows up at home one night and tells her to get dressed up, she thinks she finally has pleased him.  She finally is a good wife.  She is so excited to have a date with her husband even if she is ugly and fat and pasty and and and…get the picture….anyway, she dresses up and goes.  When she gets to the baseball game her spidey senses go off  that things are not ok and oy is she right.  Seems her hubby owes a lot of money to a loan shark named Ashton annnd well, he has pimped his wife out to clear the debit.  WHAT!!???  Yup!!

Ashton is stunned stupid but was raised by a good family.  He takes Elena not to use with as he wishes like her hubby told him but to help her overcome this abuse and move on with her life to be happy with someone else.

We see Ashton helping her gain her strength and her independence but we also see his desire for this woman.  She challenges him and makes him want more than just this life.

Elena loves the new woman she has become and is shocked when Ashton reveals his desires for HER…the ugly, fat, horrible house wife ……what!!!

The story is a lot of them figuring out what they are and then coming to terms with their feelings.  Ya see Elena only has 3 months but that time is ticking away.  Her husband is none too thrilled to see his wife happy and in caring hands so he starts to make some waves and boy is in gonnna pay for that….

The book was great.  I loved it to pieces and cant wait to start Miller, Ashton’s brothers book!!

Rebecca a New Jersey native has had a passion for reading all of her life. No matter the genre, turning her dreams into stories for her readers to treasure is more than she could ask for. She lives with her family wishing every day could be spent in the summer sun.

Title: The Misfortune of Lady Lucianna

Series: The Undaunted Debutantes Series (Book Two)

Author: Christina McKnight

Genre: Historical Romance, Regency England

Release Date: June 13, 2017

Word Count: 45,000

Quick-witted hellion Lucianna Constantine has no doubt who was responsible for the death of her dear friend. And she will stop at nothing to expose his transgressions—and those of every despicable man in London. Lucianna has witnessed the cruelty of London’s beau monde her entire life…starting with her own father. So she is more than willing to singlehandedly take down every vile man that crosses her path.

Roderick Crofton, the Duke of Montrose, had his entire family fortune stolen when his father trusted the wrong men. After a scandalous article surfaces in the London Daily Gazette, written by the notorious Mayfair Confidential columnist, Roderick finds himself financially destitute, without a betrothed, and lacking the means to find the lords responsible for duping his sire. With little option left, Roderick has only one choice: find another wealthy heiress to wed. His quest brings him to Lady Lucianna Constantine, and soon, he can’t deny that he wants her for more than just her dowry.

However, Luci has secrets that could change everything. And when Roderick uncovers what those confidences entail, it could mean misfortune for all involved.

I receive this book from the author for an honest review.

Oh Luci……You so got side swiped by love that is for sure!!  LOL

Lucianna was not going to stop searching for a clue against the dastardly man who killed her friend.  She will not give up even though Edith is happily engaged and Ophelia is too busy reading then investigation.  She will not fail her deceased friend.

Roderick was too side swiped by love.  He was bound and determined to destroy the person who ruines his chance at find who stole from his family.  He stumbles on Luci in a fencing match and he couldn’t help but fall in love with her!  She is feisty and challenges him every step of the way but he won’t have it any other way.

I loved the almost disgust that Roderick feels for Luci’s sire and his treatment of her. His desire to protect her is what is his “down fall” into loving her.  Luci is going to catch the man who ruined her friend’s happiness and took her life.  When Roderick becomes an ally in her journey she is confused and finds herself even more drawn to the man.

I gotta say, I loved how Luci was so stubborn and this book is like a taming of the shrew updated version.  Roderick thinks taming Luci will save her but in fact it saves him.

I can’t wait for Ophelia’s book!!

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Ok I think that this is my new favorite book in the series…..EEEP!! I loved loved loved this friends to lover’s story. I loved the angst and the chemistry that we get from the two characters. I loved how each man was struggling as a single father who is devoted and loves his boys without end. But what I really loved was seeing two broken men find love with each other.

Cam’s story starts with the loss of his much-loved husband. His friend and heterosexual best friend, Kade, is there the whole way. He helps Cam pick up the pieces for himself and his boys. Kade is a man stuck in a loveless marriage. He turns to his best friend Cam when he realizes his marriage is over.

The two men develop a great friendship and support system but a night of drinking turns to some open and honest communication where Kade tells a little secret that will alter the men forever.

I loved how they two men were so afraid of what they were feeling and how they both took things slow. The small touches and first kiss….scorching for sure. I loved who they were both scared to try because of messing up their friendship and support system but also scared to let a once in a life time love go.

The story definitely tugged on my heart a few times along with made me stop to fan myself because DANG it got HOT really quick!!!

A.D. Ellis spends the majority of her days loving and wrangling two school-aged children and a husband before heading to the inner city of Indiana to teach a challenging group of alternative education students in grades third through sixth. Most days she hits the gym after school in hopes of running and lifting away the stress and headaches of the day before picking up her children and squeezing a whole day’s worth of loving and living into the too-short hours before bed. It’s no wonder Ms. Ellis lives for the slower, easier days she gets to enjoy on breaks from school.
Growing up in a small farming town in southern Indiana, A.D. is grateful to her mother for passing along the love of reading. With her nose constantly stuck in a book, Ms. Ellis became accustomed to friends and acquaintances snickering and shaking their heads at her love of reading.
A.D. never dreamed of being anything but a teacher, although there are certain times of the year when she laments her career choice. Ms. Ellis had a story idea floating in her head for about a year. After persistent prodding from a friend, A.D. put pen to paper and began writing her first story in October 2013. From that moment on, she was hooked. Taking the people and stories from her head and sharing them with readers is a scary, exhausting, rewarding, and fulfilling experience which A.D. plans to continue until there are no more stories banging around in her mind.
A.D. Ellis’ work can be found on both iBooks and Amazon. Please contact her on Facebook, Twitter, or her website.
