Dirty Tactics (Special Weapons & Tactics, #1)Dirty Tactics by Peyton Banks
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is not normally my kind of book, but I liked it. The author’s portrayal of Mac was so sexy though. I love a confident alpha male! I loved the way Serenas mind worked. I loved how she considered inviting herself to the barbecue in the beginning. The suspense was great and I like the feeling of trying to figure out why so much was happening to her as it kept me turning the pages. It’s a great short read that I definitely recommend.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a very interesting read. I am a huge fan of historical romance so this was right up my alley. I felt bad for Emily and all she had to deal with in this awkward situation her step brother put her in. I did enjoy the banter and found that fun to read. There were definitely times that I wanted to scream at one character or another but I am glad I made I to the end. I really enjoyed following Phillip and Emily’s relationship and was quite happy with how the store turned out. Would definitely recommend!

I….LOVED….THIS…BOOK!!! The story was really great and it was very well written. She did an excellent job of making you feel what the characters were feeling. I loved Liam and Kendall. In the beginning I was totally adding to her list of ways to hurt him but at the end I found myself so happy about how it turned out. I give it a 20 out of 10. Definitely a great read!

Elusive (Billionaire Bodyguards #5)Elusive by Via Mari
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was VERY HOT!! Sheldon and Alexis had an amazing attraction to each other that you wanted them to indulge in. It was a great suspense with plenty of turns to keep you turning the pages. Lots of suspense, drama, and action. Sheldon and his team were real professionals, but I loved how she pulled the dom in him out despite how much he tried to stay focused on the job of protecting her. Definitely a great read. Totally recommend!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Elijah and Zoe’s story was really compelling. This is the first book I have read by Carmen Richter and I was definitely intrigued. The story was definitely an emotional rollercoaster. It was absolutely an unexpected story you think is just about forbidden love but it turns into so much more. It had lots of twists and turns to keep you turning the pages and staying up late to make it to the end. I highly recommend it! Off to search for book two!

A Gentleman's Stipulation (The Scarlet Salon, #4)A Gentleman’s Stipulation by Jean Wilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed this read. I liked Victoria a lot and her way of not really caring what people think about her. I liked how she says what is on her mind even when she probably shouldn’t. Blake is intriguing to me in that in reality he and Victoria are so much alike in personality that it makes them oil and water. I’m always a fan of a match where two that don’t want to be together are thrust together and have to find their way through. This very much delivered on that score. It was a real page-turner and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. The characters had a great banter that was really fun to read. Definitely recommend!

Relentless: Dark Billionaire Mafia Romance (Billionaire Bodyguards Book 4) Review by Rosemary Martinez

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is H-O-T! It has it all; mystery, drama, and of course some hot romance. Dereck and his team are determined and pros at what they do. He is a take-charge, get what he wants guy and he wants Layla. I love her independence and determination to find her sister. This is definitely a more mature read as the sexual nature is hot, hot, hot! I rooted for them throughout the whole book. Even though this is the fourth book in the series you can totally read it as a stand-alone but if you do I am sure you will be searching for the rest of the series the moment you finish. It is definitely a page-turner and I highly recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For me after the first page or two, I thought I wasn’t going to like it. However, as I kept reading I became more and more invested in the story and the mystery of what Lucifer’s real goal was and what was going to happen to our pair. Personally, Jane drove me a bit nuts describing herself as plain, as I am sure she did to Alexander. Overall I liked them both and I liked their dynamic. The story kept me turning the pages and I was very happy at the end. So even though I thought I wasn’t going to like it I really did enjoy it. I absolutely recommend it. A very good read.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

PLOT TWIST!! Let me preface this by saying, I NEVER read the summary on the back of the book. For me, no matter how vague, it spoils it for me. So I may have been more shocked by Rick than I should have been, but Oh MY GOD. Wow! I loved this story. Rick’s internal struggle and the reasoning behind it was well explained. I found myself rooting for him time after time. It is an amazing story and I was totally addicted. A really great read! Highly recommend! 15 out of 10!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I LOVED THESE BOOKS! I love the characters and each one’s story. They really were fun to read. The characters were really likable. I think of all of them I think Dante was definitely my favorite. Although I loved the goofy shirts mentioned for Ozzy. Initially, I didn’t think I would like Fox as much as I did but he was very well written and likable. Totally recommend this series if you are looking for a relatively short but great upbeat romance. I found myself smiling a lot when reading and couldn’t put them down! Highly recommend! 10 out of 10!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a really great story. There was plenty of emotion, intrigue, and spice to keep you wanting more. You have to pay attention in the beginning, so you are clear on when they are going back to Christiano and Francesca. Stone sounded like a real catch and I loved how smart and strong Adeline was. It makes me want to visit Italy even more than I did before I read this book (which was a lot). This is definitely a must read and a story you will totally enjoy! 10 out of 10!

This book was one I thought I wouldn’t like from the beginning. You really have to catch me with the cover and it didn’t initially grab me. However, I am glad I read it as the story did. I liked the characters a lot. I liked Henry in particular. He really seemed like a likable guy and I found myself rooting for him as I continued to read. There were definitely times I wanted to yell at the characters because I was so into the story. Would definitely recommend it.

The Executive's Decision (Keller Family, #1)The Executive’s Decision by Bernadette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really really enjoyed The Executive’s Decision by Bernadette Marie. The Zach character was a really great guy and someone I would love to be with. I will admit I was a little annoyed by Regan’s hesitance to trust due to her past. It was definitely a page turner. The author had a real flair for description and it made the story that much more enjoyable. I was able to really picture the setting and the atmosphere of the homes and family dynamics in both Zach’s and Regan’s family homes. I absolutely recommend this book!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Istambul Heist: Code Raven 8 by LyndaFiller was very good. I really appreciated the way she gave a brief history of each of the characters. It helped to set the scene and their image in my mind. I enjoyed the mystery and was thoroughly engrossed in who was behind the events. I liked how Alice was portrayed as more mature than her age. The relationship between Luke and Samaar was nice to read. You could feel the deep trust they had for each other and their fierce need to protect. Also, all the background information on the locations really makes me want to visit Turkey.

Hacker (The Mercenaries, #2)Hacker by Raven White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this edition of the mercenaries series by Nadine Travers! It definitely contained just the right level of suspense to keep you turning the pages wanting to know what is going to happen. The author did a really good job of giving some background information on the characters without going off on a tangent and then having to settle back into the main story for which I was really grateful. You really find yourself rooting for them and wanting Hacker and Marie to win. There were totally times where I found myself yelling at Marie in my head. The romance/sexual aspect is complete without being all-consuming to the story. It’s a great book for someone who likes romance AND mystery/suspense. Hacker was undoubtedly a guy I could see myself being into. I will admit by the end I also wanted Sensei and Mika to develop a relationship. Perhaps the next chapter?
