Something About Aimee (Girls from the Street Book 1)Something About Aimee by S.E. Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Something About Aimee has a bit of everything in it and I love it. The many twists and turns in this book will have your emotions all over the place, I couldn’t put it down!

Aimee is a street-smart, no holds barred kind of girl living the free life in New York City. She is a street courier on a skateboard that seems to banish any kind of preconceived notions anyone has of her. Using her street smarts, she saves royal Sheikh Qadir from assassination. Qadir is drawn to her for many reasons and saving his life is just one. Every time Aimee has something to say, Qadir finds himself astounded.

I enjoy how strong-willed Aimee is and also that Qadir is not at all intimidated by her. This book threw me for a loop a few times! I thought I knew where it was going, and it would change direction. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend picking it up. I’m headed to get the second book in the series now!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I feel like the romance wasn’t the focal point of this book. Or rather, falling in love wasn’t the point. It made the beginning seem rushed, like the author just wanted to get it over with until boom they’re in love, which was a little aggravating. Once I got over the fact that it took them 2 seconds to fall in love, I could enjoy the book a lot better. It was action-packed, there was a little heartbreak, a lot if plot twists, it was enjoyable. Would recommend to people who don’t like slowburn romance.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is full of action, suspense and romance. Aimee and Quadir come from different worlds and meet under a high tense situation. These two probably would have never met if Aimee wouldn’t have stepped in when she did. This book kept me on the edge of my seat, I couldn’t stop reading even after it was time to go to sleep. I was rooting for these two throughout the entire story. Quadir is a wealthy man with a lot of responsibility, and Aimee is a street smart, independent, smart young lady. Even though these two couldn’t be more different I couldn’t help but want them to have everything they dreamed of. This was a very entertaining story. I highly recommend this book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What I loved the most about this book is that the characters really are worlds apart from each other. Their situations couldn’t be any more different and yet somehow it worked – without either having to make great changes to their personality in the process. I enjoyed this because I connected with the characters right from the start and would have hated for them to have completely changed by the end of the story.
The storyline was pretty good too. I was caught up in what was happening, and the emotions that ran through the book. I thought the author did a great job of making you, as the reader, become invested in what was happening. Overall, I thought this was a highly enjoyable story and I look forward to exploring more of this authors work.

There’s something about Aimee was a story that had me on the edge of my seat. There was so many unexpected twists and turns. It was a little more heated than I prefer, but overall it was a great story. I love Aimee and her character. She is a total kick butt girl, who can hold her own and is brilliant. I kept wishing we knew more about her past, and then my wishes were granted. The author did a great job of building the characters slowly. It had kind of a 50 shades feel to it, as I look back. Rich powerful male, inexperienced young girl (altho homeless was a nice twist) but it makes for a good story.
Qadir was a character I didn’t like at first but he grew on me. I love his brother Tarek and his dad, and hope they make it into further stories. To be honest, the names was hard to pronounce, which I always hate, but I guess they are middle eastern so it’s to be expected… overall, it was a good book. The epilogue was a good wrap up and made me love Qadir.

Exhilarating, dangerous, and hot, this book is an enjoyable time for readers who like to be kept on edge. This story is about two souls that need each other, but have so much tearing them apart, internally and externally. Read this book if you like to be entertained, kept guessing, and enjoy electric love stories.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Something About Aimee by S.E. Smith is book one in their Girls From the Streets series. Aimee and Qadir couldn’t be any more different. One grew up with what many would consider a rough childhood with a lot of street smarts. And one grew up in a palace, surrounded by luxury and security. When the pair unexpectedly meet, sparks immediately fly. I have to say, I had high hopes for the story but things seemed to happen almost too fast. The instant attraction was understandable but the quick love and almost overwhelming infatuation was a bit strange. Aimee seems to throw herself into danger and being wealthy and of status Qadir seems to bring it. The story could have used a little more heat and spice over danger. That said, overall the story was good. Just felt as though some things could have been a little better.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My heart is so happy that I picked up this book to read and could not put it down!! The story totally consumed me from beginning to end. This story had it all…. action, deceit, love and a few steamy scenes!

Aimee Wheels is such a free spirit and hustling day to day as a courier in NYC. When a small bet is wagered if she can get a delivery on time..Aimee is up to the task…but little did she know that the delivery also changes her life. Sheik Qadir Saif Ad Din radiates power and is royalty tries to get some attention by Aimee, at first she dismisses him. When an assassination attempt against Qadir starts in full motion, Aimee saves his life. After that fateful attempt….Qadir and Aimee’s chemistry hits off the charts..but they both come from different worlds….will their differences keep them apart when chaos ensues?

There is so much more to this book but I dont want to give any spoilers away…I could talk about this story forever. The characters of Qadir and Aimee are fantastic, and even though they have different upbringings, they both share so much love not only for each other but to their families and friends as well. I did not want this story to end and I look forward to reading book #2!

Undeniable is the second book in the series which I being silly didn’t notice until after. That being said, this was an excellent book! Very well written and with such amazing characters. Watching Arely and Kurt overcome their demons was truly writing magic. I had all the feels and simply could not put this book down! Definitely recommend. Perfect balance of thrill and steam!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh My! How can this be the first time I have read a book by this author?!?! Could I have chosen a better book to start off with!? Oh, how fun this story was to read! Aimee is the coolest chick ever! She certainly doesn’t need anyone. Living the way she chooses, even if it isn’t the safest of neighborhoods. She has her friends and her skateboard, which I am surprised she hasn’t named.

When Aimee runs into Qadir things take a different turn.

“How many others were like Aimee; vibrant and capable, but just one unlucky moment away from complete disaster?” – Hits a little personal. So many people are just one unlucky moment, one car break down, one sickness, one unlucky moment away from complete disaster. Is there something Qadir can do to help, to encourage, to teach…

Aimee and Qadir have an instant attraction but neither one wants to believe it. I really love this story and can’t wait to see what else happens to these characters and their friends/family!

Having read other books by this author I was excited to pick up the next one from her, and the first in a new series. Although not my favourite book by her this story is exciting g, fast paced and filled with so much drama it will keep you on your toes. The author has packed so much into this story, there really is never a dull moment.
I enjoyed the overall premise of the book. I could easily see what the author was trying to achieve and I think she managed to write a strong book. This is a good start to a new series and I am looking forward to the next book.

Aimee is a street smart woman who is a courier for deliveries in New York City when she happens across an assassination attempt on the life of a Sheik Qadir Saif-Ad-Din from a Middle Eastern country. In her effort to thwart the assassination, she manages to put herself on the radar of some very unsavory characters. While saving Qadir, she also draws his attention and there is an instant connection between them. Aimee lives in an abandoned warehouse because her life hasn’t quite been what you’d hope for, and the Sheik has been raised in the lap of luxury, and is finally seeing the life that is lived by those with way less means. When Qadir’s life is put in danger, Aimee must put everything on the line to save him again, and hopefully find her happily ever after.

Steam, mystery and second chances

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow! From the beginning the author gets you to visualize the workroom at Becker Courier Service. You can feel the excitement and chaotic atmosphere of those who work at there. Aimee wheels takes the bet and the bonus to get a last minute delivery out in less than a half hour. What she doesn’t realize is this delivery will change her life when she ends up saving “Mr. Moneybags” and gets shot while doing so.
The story is well written, I connected with the characters, felt the ups and downs of two different worlds colliding in a romance, and the action and danger that Aimee and Qadir face throughout the story. I would definitely recommend this book and I’m looking forward to the next book in the Girls from the Street series.

The author started out strong with chapter one and the character development and plot were perfect.

I enjoyed reading this romance story that has a touch of suspense to it. This is not my first book by this author but it is one of my favorites. One of the things I enjoy about this author is their writing skills. They are able to bring the story to life with ease and made me feel as if I was part of the story. This is a well written story about Aimee and Qadir. They are complete opposites but they do have one thing in common, someone is out to kill them. Will they find a way to love despite what life is throwing at them? I enjoyed watching their growth as well as their chemistry. They are great characters that added to the story for me. They certainly had me coming back for more. They are strong and supportive characters that made the story easy and entertaining to read. I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed reading this paranormal story. This is one of my favorites by this author yet. I enjoyed how the author used their writing skills to bring the story to life. Her attention to details made the story realistic. This is a well written story that packs a lot of action, romance and so much more in a short amount of time. Bobbi has been walking the line between two worlds but now she is faced with walking the line with life and death. Bobbi and Max are determined to solve the puzzle of this serial killer who is killing. What happens next you don’t want to miss it. They are great together and had me coming back for more. The twists and turns had me turning pages fast just to see what happens next. There is great growth and support between the two. I enjoyed watching them grow and their chemistry is great. This is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. I highly recommend this book and this author.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To be honest, I picked this novel up because I really love when the novels I read have a character with the same name as I do, even if it isn’t spelled correctly! I absolutely loved the plot of this adventure, and the way that the female lead, Aimee, is a strong, independent woman, that way because she had no other choice. She knows what she wants and goes for it, and puts her all into everything that she does. I love that about a person, and I really was able to connect with her throughout this fantastic read.

One of my other favorite things is that there aren’t any lulls. There seems to be something always going on, and not in a way that makes the reader feel overwhelmed or unsure as to what the real story is. The author has a wonderful way with words, the descriptive nature brings the reader in and doesn’t let them go, even after the story ends. I very much look forward to reading more about the Girls from the Street, and by this author. Well done!

OMG!!! If you haven’t read this book, my question is why. This book has everything, action, humor, drama, twists, romance, steam, turns and did I mention drama?? What a series opener!!!!

From the first chapter to the last, this book had me hooked. I almost threw my phone a couple of times when I couldn’t believe what was happening but I was calmed back down by a twist or something.

Aimee’s entire life has been on the street. She knows the ins, the outs, the highways, the byways, the no gos, and everything in between. She had to learn them to survive. Aimee has a small collection of the most interesting friends. She never knows when she will need one for something. One night when she is making a final delivery for the courier service she works for, she saves the life of a very important man, except she has no idea who he is.

He is Sheik Qadir Saif-Ad-Din, the heir to the throne of Jawahir. Qadir is instantly memorized by this tiny creature that shows more street smarts than his highly trained guards. Qadir knows that Aimee isn’t one that can be caged or is interested in the trappings of his title. Aimee is wild and free, like the desert wind. As the danger mounts around Qadir, Aimee must make some life shattering choices. But when Qadir is captured and being held hostage, will Aimee risk everything to help him?

This book was fantastic. I can’t wait for the next in the series. Idella is more than she appears to be?? Yep, I am hooked. I didn’t need another series but I am not letting this one go!!

Aimee is a bad ass! I am in love with her spunky character and give no shits attitude! She is not your normal New Yorker, she only wants the little things to make her happy. While making deliveries, she saves a mans life who ends up being someone she cannot get enough of. Everything is going well until Aimee herself is almost assassinated. Will the dangers in their lives keep them apart?
I enjoyed this book so very much! It was action packed, witty, and had me on the edge. Wonderfully written, and amazing characters. I will be reading more from this author!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Aimee is lovable, strong, witty, and not afraid to be herself. Her lifestyle forces her to pay more attention than the average person. Her wit really pulled me in; she’s rough around the edges, but has the biggest heart.

Qadir only knows a life of ultimate luxury and power. When he’s powerless against Aimee it makes him want her even more.

After a chance encounter, when Aimee saves Qadir’s life, they will never be the same. Saving Qadir’s life could cost Aimee her own. Through twists and turns they find themselves trying to work together when danger rips them apart.

S.E. Smith did a great job keeping the story moving. Something About Aimee is a quick read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Undeniable (Central Florida Stories, #2)Undeniable by Victoria Saccenti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is beyond frustrating – in the best way! Every time you think that you are following the foreshadowing cues, something throws you off. I gave this story four out of five stars because the beginning of the book is slightly confusing and hard to keep up with. It is a very fast-paced book making it difficult to tell how much time has gone by. At one point I thought only a week or two had gone by and it was actually a month. This book is also best if you are bilingual and can speak Spanish – as a few important details lay in Spanish. The amount of information learned from this book was detrimental to understanding the characters and their lifestyle. The author did a great job at breaking down the different steps and key factors that go into a dominant/submissive relationship – this was done in an extravagant way that helps the reader understand what is going on and why.

After a great attack, Arley seeks protection from a friend. Once she starts feeling comfortable living her life again, Arley runs into an old childhood crush. From there, sparks fly, danger strikes, and a dominant/submissive relationship is formed. This book has the perfect mixture of thrill and erotica mixed into one.

Undeniable is book two in the Central Florida Stories series by Victoria Saccenti but is a standalone. I am a die-hard smut reader and the spice in this book is off the charts!!! I love my smut with a good story behind it and Kurt and Arely kept me sucked in and guessing though the whole book. If my childhood crush grew up to not only be my price charming but a Dom I would be in heaven lol. This book has everything I could have asked for, spice, Dom/sub, excitement, mystery and did I mention spice?? I promise you will not want to put this down…
