Review of A Lifetime to Find Love by Ava Riley

Tessa has no desire to spend another Friday night alone. Inviting her brother’s best friend, Cade, to hang out with her at a local club was nothing more than a night out with a friend. At least that’s what she thought. When unexpected advances are made, they are both forced to evaluate their life- long friendship and newly revealed feelings for each other.

We’ve all been there fancied our friend’s older brother or brother’s friend. The only difference is Tessa and Cade did something about it. I knew this was going to be a good after the first few pages and Tessa was on her ass having scared the life out of Cade by making a pass at him by straddling his lap after a night out.

I loved Tessa and Cade and the fact that Ava Riley was able to cover their history together so well you were, Cade was definitely a man you could fall in love with so who could blame Tessa I loved the fact they were real you could see this relationship happening in the real world everything down to the interfering older brother and office bitch you couldn’t help but root for them. I didn’t want to put this book down and the only reason I did was because I fell asleep.

The sex scenes were hot and the story real to life and romantic it ticked all of my boxes.

Review of Friendly Fire by Megan Hart

Description

After Agent Kendall Frasier's partner is shot in "friendly fire" during a drug bust, she agrees to take a week's vacation on a tropical island as part of her psychiatric evaluation. Sand, sun, sea—what could be better to help her work through her guilt? Even if the presence of the man responsible for the shooting, Agent Zane Vincent, seems counterproductive to her mental health.

As Kendall gets to know Zane, and realizes he feels worse about what happened than she does, it becomes impossible to hate him. And their mutual attraction becomes impossible to deny.

Review

This is not a book you should read while in a public place ie the train like I did J. The conversation about faked orgasm had me giggling.

The story is based over the week on the tropical island, both Zane and Kendall are strong willed, competitive characters and equal which was good there were no dominant/ submissive role which I was glad about as this would not have fit these two characters at all.

I liked this story for me it was a fresh slant on a traditional story line of girl meets boy, boy meets girl, girl hates boy. But as it was a Novella things in the relationship moved quickly. The tension between the characters was excellent I don’t know about you but one session with a Psychiatrist would not cure any hate or relationship issues I had.

This was definitely a good read and I’ve already started checking out Amazon for more of Megan’s books.

The book is only available as an eBook.

Review of Storm’s Heart

    Storm's Heart is a contemporary romance written by Rachel Lyndhurst.

Andreas Lazarides is a Greek Businessman and Kizzy Dean is supposed to be a former employee. Until they clash over his executing of his mother's final wishes, and the closing down of Kizzy's restaurant.

The story is fast moving but that's how I like my books. I don't like to be bored by a story and this is definitely NOT boring.

I loved the characters, Andreas was your hot alpha male with emotional baggage and Kizzy was your

loveable female who has her own baggage a streak of independence a mile wide.

For a contemporary romance the seduction and sex scenes are hot. I loved this book even though there were no murders, guns or shootings and nothing was blown up J.

I'm glad Rachel doesn't write for Mills and Boon as I would have missed this.

Definitely a 3 star Read I look forward to reading more of Rachel’s work.

Taken In Texas by Melissa Ecker

My latest review is the third Novella from Deep in the Heat of Texas


Payton is an LA Cop so carries a gun and can kick ass with the best of them. The story brings together two strong characters. Drake is used to getting his own way where women are concerned and thinks strong women like Payton have a submissive streak from being in control all the time. Being Deacon’s brother he too is an alpha male but for me he was more realistic as a character and someone you could relate to and say I know someone just like him. Drake didn’t have any rules except one no carrying a gun. I wasn’t sure if that was because he was being safety conscious or whether he was scared Payton might be tempted to shoot him?

I loved the Characters the way Drake kept Payton on her toes and flustered. The story was well written the sex scenes were HOT it ticked all the boxes for me.

I’m looking forward to reading more of Melissa’s work.

Contains: Lots of hot sex, anal sex, oral sex and sex on a tractor.
