Dares & Dice (Spicetopia Book 5) by Phoebe Alexander was a great 5 star read.

Makenna ends up going to Spicetopia for her bachelorette party. She ends up meeting Ty who is there for his bachelor party. There is an instant spark between them. When the dice are rolled and the dares start, things take an interesting twist.

Could they have just one last fling or will they want more?

Spicetopia definitely turns up the heat for these two and anyone that visits. The author pulls you right in with her writing, you feel like your right there with the characters. I’m glad that Ty finally stood up for himself against his family. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story. We get some steamy twists and turns and some LOL moments.

Hawk's Cry (Satan's Devils MC Second Generation #2)Hawk’s Cry by Manda Mellett
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Hawk’s Cry (Satan’s Devils MC Second Generation #2) by Manda Mellett was a great 5 star read. I was excited to read the next book in the series. I was pulled in right from the beginning.

This is Hawk and Olivia’s story, they are preparing for their new baby. Hawk wants to get out of the MC life but it’s not as easy as it sounds. He keeps it all built up inside and increases his anxiety which causes distance between him and Olivia. Olivia is trying to figure out why Hawk is pushing her away. Things get even more interesting when there is a scary twist that involves Olivia.

How will everything turn out for Hawk and Olivia?

Overall this was a great read.This was a very emotional rollercoaster of a read, I was exhausted by the time I finished. It was great seeing all the MC members again, they are such a great family that watches out for their own. I’m loving this series and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. Thank you Manda Mellett for another great read. 1-click and get started today.

We start by getting clips of Livy and Jeremy’s childhood up to an adult. They both had different but heartbreaking childhoods. Livy was counting the days until she was 18 so she could get out and away from her mom. Jeremy lost his dad to a drunk driver when he was little and wanted to make his mom proud.

These two end up meeting at the bar Livy worked at and they had an instant connection. As they start dating they have to learn to drop their walls and learn to trust each other. They also have some challenging twists and turns.

Can these two have a HEA?

Forbidden Desire (Confessions of a Trophy Wife, #1)Forbidden Desire by L.M. Mountford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Forbidden Desire (Confessions of a Trophy Wife #1) by L.M. Mountford was a steamy 4 star read.

Elizabeth is in a marriage that has diminished the last few years. She doesn’t feel the love and romance that was once there. Her husband is always gone for work and now her son has gone off to college. She has the whole house to herself and she is extremely lonely.

When she goes to her best friends house she ends up seeing Hugh. Hugh is not only her best friend’s son but her son’s best friend. You can feel their connection as soon as she walks in the house. They have a steamy moment, however she rushes off. Hugh is not letting her get away that easily and shows up at her house. Will Elizabeth push him away again?

Overall this was a quick read with lots of steamy moments. I rated it a four because it felt rushed in some areas. I also would have liked to have gotten a little more to the story. There is a little twist that threw me off and I had to reread that piece. Note, if you don’t like cheating this isn’t the book for you. If you like hot and steamy (melt your kindle) then you will want to 1-click. I read this in a couple of hours. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.
