My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read a few books from this author and she continues to blow my mind. I love how she makes her books from both characters’ points of view. This is the fourth book of the amazing Red Cage series. I was so excited to read this one I stopped everything and started this one immediately. I could not put this book down until the very end. I can’t wait to see what this amazing author will write about next.

Soleil is so excited to actually see her best friend in person. When she gets there she is told to sleep in her older brother’s room because he is gone. She is surprised when she wakes up to Tripp lying next to her. Soleil knows that Tripp can’t stand her but her world falls apart. She is shocked when Tripp is the one that says he will help her. They get to know each other and sparks fly. Will Soleil get her bad boy after all or is this just a job?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! I feel like I got tripped and am hanging off a cliff. This author wrote a hell of a prequel!!! Talk about a cliffhanger. The chemistry is sparking and gonna blow. I did have my suspicions and now I know they are confirmed. That volcano is going to blow and I have to be there to see Riley and Cole blow. Their parents are creating some family drama. The question is, can these two get through it and come out together on the other side. (cue dramatic music) Until the next book. On a serious note, the author packs a lot into the story with these kiddos. Drama, romance, suicide attempts, affairs, and more drama. I felt like I’m watching 90210, only better. I can’t wait for the first book. Bravo!!!

Adam

A bonafide pop diva, all sass and scandal, Cristy Valor commands headlines wherever she goes. The tabloids love her—and love to hate her. From the first time her sexy alto voice rolls over me, she has all my attention. When she joins Balefire on our latest tour, she sashays across the stage in her wild-ass costumes and parties hard enough to keep up with my boys and me. She drives me batshit crazy—and I love every second of it.

Sex on stilettos.

Pure trouble.

Our sizzling chemistry could shoot a rocket into space, and it’s not long before I crave her. For the first time in my life, I want to share everything with a woman. But Cristy is hiding something, something that holds her back from giving me all of herself. She’s about to find out that I’m a patient man—and I always get what I want.

 

Cristy

Adam Tron is the poster boy for tall, dark, and sexy. His bass rhythms are enough to make me cream my panties every time I hear them. Flirting with him during our live shows is a rush but nothing compared to what happens when I finally give in to my lust and share his bed. The problem is, sex isn’t all he wants.

For my entire career, I’ve set the narrative, teased the tabloids with scandals that kept them too busy to look into my past, too busy to discover the secret that could end the party for good. Adam Tron could wreck me, steal my heart—and my music. I can’t let him in. I can’t let him discover the secret behind the nightmares I have nearly every night. He thinks he can slay all my monsters, and it would be so easy to let him. But if he finds out the truth, will he still be hot for me?

Like the tagline of her first novel, Tam DeRudder Jackson’s personal motto is “love is worth the risk.” Readers and reviewers have praised her stories for her swoon-worthy characters, movie-quality world building, and strong writing. Though she’s a voracious reader of all genres of romance, her favorite genres to write are paranormal and contemporary. When she’s not writing or reading, she’s probably traveling or skiing or dancing at a rock concert.

Absolution by Anise Storm & Taylor L. Ray

Dominic Price believed he had a future with Juliana Rutherford until one dark night, she goes missing, and her affluential father has him arrested for her disappearance. After spending nearly two years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, he is acquitted and has one goal in mind – Revenge.

Whitney Greene is content with her life until a voice invades her thoughts. It is a woman, and she needs help that only Whitney can provide. Her world now off its axis, Whitney is about to be tested when sent to help the one man with the power to destroy them both.

Dominic is powerful, wealthy, and so close to exacting the vengeance he sought when a ghost from his past emerges, only she’s claiming that she isn’t the one who’d set him up for a fall before. Whitney tries convincing Dominic that she isn’t Juliana, but he isn’t fooled. The timing is too convenient and the taste of betrayal still too bitter.

Deciding to use her as an additional pawn in his deadly game, what ensues is a series of events causing each of them to question themselves, question each other, and reveals a force more sinister than either could’ve ever imagined. When the dust settles, will absolution finally be found?

He’s the broody brother in the family whose temper can go from zero to death row in a heartbeat. She’s the sexy television producer who stops him in his tracks. Are these two opposites nothing more than a one night stand?

He didn’t mean to give Elyse pleasure during the important studio party. Because they could never be anything more than friends, right?

And even though she was drop-dead gorgeous and flaunted her sexy-as-sin charm, he should’ve kept his hands to himself and looked the other way. Until he walked into that party and his gaze landed on her barely-there dress. At that moment he never wanted anything so badly in his entire life.

He’s worked hard to protect his family and call his life his own, but when they become trapped together during a freak snowstorm, all bets are off. She’s made it clear she’s a city girl, and not interested in settling down in a small town like Langston Falls. But watching her on the farm, he starts to see another side of her that has him wishing she’d reconsider.

Will the bond they share be enough to overcome a long distance relationship? Or will his chance at happily ever after explode, leaving him angry and alone?

Savage Start (Hidden Valley Elite Prequel) by Isla Vaughn
Genre – New Adult, Romance, Bully
Page Count – 55
Cover Designer – TE Black Designs

Virgin? Check

New Identity? Double Check.

Grifter? Triple Check. 

Look, it’s not like I have a choice about being born into a family of conmen, or women- technically. A girl’s got to survive, and by the looks of the new town I’m forced into, it’s time to step up my game.  

It doesn’t take long to survey my prey, steal a souvenir, and get stopped by a panty-melting local who steals a kiss.  

That kiss is poison. Not really, but the emotional kind that forces me to face the fact. 

If I give up my precious v-card to a guy, he’s the kind who would take it. Dangerous. Sexy as hell and just as deadly. Distracting enough that I somehow managed to get caught… but will I escape?

Savage Start is an enemies-to-lovers, new adult bully romance with plenty of angst, and the prequel to Riley and Cole’s duet Savage Lies and Savage Truth. 

This book contains mature content that some readers may find disturbing. It is not a standalone and does end in a cliffhanger that continues with Savage Lies.

Sharing His Nanny: A Curvy Girl Reverse Harem Romance (Forever Our Girl Book 2)

This is not my go to sub genre but thought I would read it for a change of pace. I’m not at all sorry I did. I’m one who has a hard time focusing on anything else once a book has captured my attention, and this one got me. I found myself up reading way too late on a work night, but thankfully I was working from home so I could sleep a bit later.

Stella is a Goddess, she’s plus size and not ashamed and make no apologies for it. She has principles and sticks by them even if she’s hurting herself in the process. In this case it definitely was a win for her.

Charles is would a little too tight even during what is supposed to a month of debauchery with his best friends and any women they can find. Their plans quickly shifted and they have no idea how wonderful it will end up being.

I throughly enjoyed this and would definitely read this and other books by this author. Love finding unexpected gems.

This was a good read however I think it needed more of storyline. While I understand the plus size story line in LA the book either focused on that or too heavily on the details of the relationship. I was looking for more of a plot! Stella made the very best out of what could have been a very awful situation!

Wow is what I was saying throughout reading this book! If you seek a book with excitement, steamy scenarios, and with a good storyline, this is the book for you!
Story centers around Stella, a young adult recently graduated from college and pursuing her ambition of becoming a plus size fashion designer. As she is plus size herself, having clothing that conforms to women of all sizes is a big passion of hers. The unfortunate end of her circumstances is she lacks family and financial support follows through in her time of need. She ends up homeless and turns to her distant stepmother, who has never connected with and has kept Stella at a distance.
Her stepmother then comes up with an idea in a moment’s notice and Stella becomes the nanny for her Stepbrother’s, Charles, baby daughter. When they all meet at the beach house, which is known for its wild partying with his buddies. His colleagues and friends come along with the month-long trip but now have to adjust their plans as a result of a baby and her nanny. As they become more acquainted with one another, they start developing an attraction and bring up the possibility of what if the excitement will continue even through the new obstacles.
This is definitely worth the read without spilling the beans on more details! Enjoy!

Throwing the Curve (Playing for Keeps Book 2)Throwing the Curve by Lauren Fraser
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This is book 2 of this series and it was fabulous! I love sports romance full of sizzle and this story of Ryan and Peyton was off the charts.

Ryan is a big time baseball pitcher, with total focus and being all about his team and winning. When Ryan meets Peyton for the first time, it started off the wrong foot right from the beginning… Peyton was dating a married man, whom is on the same baseball team as Ryan and Peyton had no idea. To cover his teammate’s track due to be “about the team”, Ryan covers and to be Peyton’s “fake” date. When fake dating leads to something more…Ryan and Peyton’s spark and sizzle is totally undeniable. What happens when miscommunication, pressuring parents and a tool bag of teammate’s jealousy whom is also married come between Ryan and Peyton?

I loved this story and I highly recommend reading this series in order. I am so looking forward to book # 3.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Stella is a designer for plus-sized clothing. She just needs to find an investor to get her line into production. When she’s pushed into being a nanny for a month, it seems like things are falling into place.

But it might be a little hard, since the father is the first guy she ever crushed on, and also her stepbrother…

It can’t be too hard when an adorable baby is involved, but with three gorgeous men under the same roof, it gets hard to think. Suddenly, Stella has her hands full with two of the men almost nightly.

Her stepbrother keeps his distance while his friends take their time and energy out with Stella, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t looking. It’s only one month. One month and everything, and every one, goes back to the real world. Right?

Sharing His Nanny was a spicy, steamy, taboo filled read. I went in expecting one thing and this was not it. It was well written and I enjoyed the characters (in and out of the bedroom). Every person had some growing up and learning to do and the growth was evident.

If you enjoy spice, taboo, and more men than you can handle, this is a read to definitely check out. If none of those are your thing: stay away, because PHEW! It’s hot in here.

This is the 2nd book in the Forever Our Girl series but this is the first one for me. I didn’t feel like I was missing anything but I do feel the need to go read more from this series. Stella is a plus size woman wanting to design clothes for people like her so they can feel empowered and beautiful. She runs into a giant snag with her funding for her line and would be homeless if her older step brother didn’t take her in to help with the baby he just found out he had. Charles, along with Alex and Jordan are staying in the house for a month. Stella is someone none of them can resist. And let the spice ensue. I loved this body positive story.

Peyton goes to a party and finds out her ballplayer boyfriend is a married man. His teammate Ryan saves him by pretending that Peyton is his girlfriend. Anything for the team right? For PR reasons, Peyton and Ryan must continue to fake date, him for the team image and her for her job. They both seem to hate each other but then get to realize first impressions aren’t always what they seem.

Some very steamy scenes. It is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone and be fine.

❤️❤️LOVE this one!! That beginning? Outstanding! I was shocked, disgusted and thrilled at all the same time! The meet-cute between these two is Soo different and I adored it! Add in the back and forth banter, which is like fire/ice, and that sets the scene for the book.

This is the second book in the series. Both are amazing! I enjoy the baseball theme in these. The author does a great job pulling me into the story with the wonderfully interesting characters and the dynamic storyline. I wished, hoped, freaked out and was sad all throughout this story. I dont want to forget the chuckles. I wish I could read it for the first time again! Anyway it will be on my re-reads list to enjoy over and over.

I eagerly look forward to more from this series and this author!

Sharing His Nanny
By: Tori Chase

Let me start by saying this book is so far outside the realm of what I usually read. Normally, I’m good with steamy content, but I keep it to a heteronormative relationship. This book was the first I have ever read that deals with polyamory. This will not be the last. What I learned through reading this book is that the character depth when it involves relationships of this type is so much deeper than in a heterosexual relationship. The growth between these four characters was tremendous. Not only within their relationship and establishing their boundaries / rules. But also within themselves. I loved the character of Stella. I felt like she was a totally relatable character and the growth within her was truly amazing. She felt like a completely different person at the end of the story, one who truly believed in herself and what she was capable of. I also loved Charles and watching him weigh his feelings regarding everyone. I also really loved the character of Charles’ ex. I felt like the addition of her really added to the story experience. I definitely recommend this story, because I feel that Tori does an amazing job establishing and developing the characters. I also absolutely loved the ending.

Everything was coming up Stella when her boyfriend who was also to be her investor was caught cheating and bad mouthing her and her clothing line for plus size women. Naturally she told him to take his money and stick it.

Unfortunately this left her strapping for cash, she had a deadline to make if she wanted her fashion line out in the world soon. She calls her step-mother in hopes for some financial aid when the step mother gives her an offer she can’t refuse.

Charles, Stella’s step-brother, had a baby with no help to take care of her. This month was supposed to be their annual vacation at the beach house. Stella is offered the job as the baby’s nanny for a month by their mother. Having nowhere to go, Stella decides to give it a try.

Charles is there with two other friends and they are all gorgeous in their own ways. What can go wrong this month?

I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I wanted to only because it had a lot less romance and more crudeness than I expected. I loved Charles, he was sweet, strong, independent and made a wonderful father. Alex was nice and funny and very easy to talk to so I liked him as well. Jordan, well he was a different story. I honestly hated his character. He was smug and bossy and I hated the way he interacted with everyone.

Fortunately for Stella, each man brought something to the table and she was fulfilled in more ways than one.

This book is my favourite one of the series so far. What a connection between the main characters. You could feel it from the moment they interacted and across each and every page. They drew me into the story and had me gripped right to the end.
This series is honestly getting better with each book. I thought this one was so well written and engaging. I could have kept reading it long after the book ended. This author was already one of my one click authors and this book is exactly why. I loved this story and cannot wait for whatever comes next.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Stella is an up and coming plus size designer who is happily enjoying life with her friends and family around her, but one birthday evening breaks that happiness right open and the person who she was hoping would invest in her line is out of the picture because of it, but with little other choice in the matter, she has to make a dreaded phone call and ask for help, but when she is asked to hurry to her step-brothers house as soon as she can, she fears the worst. Charles Harlow is a man with a plan for his life, but that all unravels when a baby he is told is his, is thrust upon him and his life changes immediately, he is tall, rich and handsome beyond belief and Stella has always had the hots for him, so when she sees him getting out of a car with a baby in his arms at his Malibu beach house, she doesn’t know what to think, but she can see that her step-mother has a plan which soon becomes all too clear.

As Stella and her step-mother talk about her situation, she is told that she is there so that she can be the live in nanny for Charles’s baby while he works and plays hard, just like always, but Stella will only do it under certain conditions and when Charles hears the discussion, he helps Stella negotiate for a better deal. When it has been decided that Stella will help out for the month, this is when two more hotter than hell men turn up, they are Charles’s best friends and they are just as surprised as Stella that she is there, as well as a baby, but they take things in their stride and pretty much act as they normally would on this annual break of theirs.

As a routine settled in and Stella gets to know the guys, one of whom is a lawyer and the other is a personal trainer, Stella doesn’t know where to look, but when they’re intentions towards her are made clear, she can’t resist them, but when Charles discovers what’s going on, instead of being disgusted, he is looking like he wants to join in. With all the stress of her business and trying to handle two men and the possibility of a third, Stella has no idea what the future holds, never mind what lies beyond this one month together.

Will Charles indulge in the taboo nature of his desires towards Stella and what will the future hold for them all of he does? This is an erotic reverse harem with all the saucy antics you can think of, as well as a meaty streak of confidence in both body and business, as this sassy woman keeps getting challenge after challenge thrown at her in this emotional rollercoaster of a story which will keep you titillated throughout.

Sharing His Nanny (Forever Our Girl, #2)Sharing His Nanny by Tori Chase
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This book should be rated xxx and not just because of the seggsy stuff. There is male on male, dominant submissive play and taboo behavior between step siblings. There is not a single chapter of this book that didn’t detail some lurid sexual behavior. The characters, with the exception of Stella, have almost no backstory. I enjoy details that draw one to the characters in the books I take pleasure in. While this story wasn’t for me I am quite sure many out there will enjoy it.

The Golden Garza (Red Cage Book 4) by S. Ann Cole – Review by Michelle Mulvey

The Golden Garza (Red Cage Book 4)The Golden Garza by S. Ann Cole
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the 2nd book I’ve read In this series. These Garza boys!!! Wow.
I don’t even know where to begin. Soleil comes to
Visit her best friend and they end up staying at her brothers house. Soleil and Tripp have been seriously been into eachother for years but neither had any idea. The first night Tripp returns home and finds a woman in his bed, he thinks it’s Maggie causing Soleil to
Almost get what she wants more then just about anything.
The guys at Red Cage take on big cases and they charge a lot of
Money. I really
Like how all the guys all have totally different personalities. Soleil needs help and she cannot afford to pay them but, luckily
For her, that doesn’t seem to be a problem. When the Garzas care about you, you will be protected. There’s a lot going in on this
Book, definitely suspense, and some steam. I loved how this book was written and just flowed so
Easily. Loved the characters, and loved the friendships. Aside from this book, over read True Garza but might have to go back and read the others. I’m still trying to figure out Guy’s story!!

Talisman (The Talisman Series Book 1) by Tam DeRudder Jackson – Review by Desiree Ottinger

Talisman: The Talisman SeriesTalisman: The Talisman Series by Tam DeRudder Jackson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rowan runs his family’s security firm by day and is a warrior by trade, fighting against the curse laid on his family by the Morrigan centuries ago. (A warrior has to find his talisman before his 28th birthday or he has to options. Become a slave to the Morrigan or become a rogue warrior fighting for his life.) As he nears his 28th birthday, he finds himself trying to beat the clock to find his talisman, his protector. Alyssa just wants to make it through her dissertation on Celtic history. After the loss of her grandmother and her fiancée walking out, she is just not sure how much more she can handle. So, when she finds footprints around her house, she seeks out a security firm to help her safeguard her house. Unbeknownst to her, Rowan is the answer to all of her problems and vice versa. As he thrusts himself into her life and inundates her with information that her grandmother should have given her, she becomes even more overwhelmed. It’s not every day that you find out that you are destined to break a centuries old curse on the families of warriors and talismans. Can she handle all the pressure to defeat Morrigan and her sister and break the curse, once and for all? Or will they all be destined to repeat the process for another century?

This was a fascinating read in the sense that I felt like I was learning and reading a story. The characters all had relatable insecurities as the work together to defeat the Morrigan. I think the author did a wonderful job of writing a wallflower’s perspective of being thrust into an unknown world and trying to navigate everything essentially as an outsider. Having to earn trust is huge, especially when it has been broken before. As the first book in the series, it left the door open for more exciting things to happen. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!

This is an adult book.
