Telling Tales by Charlotte Stein

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

This is a short book but man is it hot.  Four friends return to a house owned by their professor.  They stay for 1 month and they stay busy, with each other.  The story and characters are hot and fun.

The Moment We Began A Fairhope Romance by Sarra Cannon

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

I got an ARC of this book on NetGalley.  I decided to read Fairhope #1 first.  I love the series and all of the characters.  Cannon does a great job telling their stories.  Penny is twin to Preston.  The are rich, young and living it up.  Mason is in their inner circle, but he is more than just a friend to Penny.  After a year of just hooking up Penny realizes she is in love with someone who doesn't love her back.  He told her from the beginning it couldn't be more.  Her heart can't accept that and she starts losing control of everything.  Penny is an emotional wreck.  I found her to be more than a spoiled socialite though.  She has an amazing heart and her greatest goal is to help sick children.  The more Mason pushes her away the more she acts out.  When he says he is leaving to get himself together Penny decides it is time to take back control of her life.  She does by packing up and leaving with him.  Did I mention I love this series?  I am ready for book 3.

Every Part of You: Takes Me (#5) by Megan Hart

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

Finally, Simone and Elliot begin to communicate.  Do not think it happens quickly or easily.  They both have demons to fight and major issues to overcome.  Can they accept each other?  Is love enough for these two?

Every Part of You: Denies Me (#4) by Megan Hart

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

This installment gives us both Simone and Elliot's weaknesses.  They both royally screw up.  Elliot pushes Simone away by being cruel.  She deals by running to Adrian.  If there wasn't another book in the series I would scream for them to get it together already.  Wait, I am anyways!

Thank you St. Martins Press and NetGalley for ARC.

Every Part of You: Taunts Me (#3) by Megan Hart

My Rating 4 out of 5 Stars

Okay, it is time for Elliot to stop stalling and get over his issues.  Simone is letting him call all the shots and it is making her look weak.  She needs to take back control and let him know he either gets with it or she is out.

Every Part of You: Resists Me (#2) by Megan Hart

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

Simone knows what she wants.  Elliot isn't ready to accept who he is, so he continues to resist how much he wants her.  They are going to be so amazing together if he ever gives in.

Every Part of You: Tempts Me (#1) by Megan Hart

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

This is the first book in the series.  It is a very quick read.  It starts out hot and steamy.  Simone is bold and brazen.  She knows what she wants and it is for Elliot to use her like she has watched him do with so many others. 

Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley.

Doctor Dom Series Sequence One Triage | Observation | Diagnosis by Tara Crescent

Owning Her Innocence by Alexa Riley

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

This book is very hot, very dirty and definitely taboo.  You gotta love a man who takes what he wants and what Daddy wants is a girl half his age that he has waited years for.  He takes her in vivid detail and she loves it.  

Thank you Alexa Riley and NetGalley for ARC.

Bitter Disenchantment: A Coveted Novella by Shawntelle Madison

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

I loved reading about Aggie.  After I finished I went back and read Coveted and Kept again to see how things went for Aggie.  Then, I got hooked on Natalya again.  I'm ready for book 3, Compelled.  I hope it has more story lines for Aggie or another book that focuses on her.  She is much more than a supporting character.

Head Over Heart (Mannequin Series #1) by Olivia Besse

My Rating 5 out of 5 Stars

Formally titles Etoile

This story is very realistic and literal.  Besse didn't write it to pretty up the modeling world or the main character Etoile.  Etoile's life isn't glamorous, happy or dreamy.  She is basically miserable and hoping for something good to happen to her for once.  She thinks her luck may be changing when she meets the perfect guy, but doubts and insecurities start shadowing her happiness.  Then enters the other guy who truly confuses her with his affections and her lack of trust has her holding back.  Etoile is an emotional wreck and I was completely hooked.  It got a little to real there for a while and I almost gave up.  Man, am I glad I hung in there.  My only real problem, a major cliffhanger!  Now I am going crazy to find out when book 2 comes out.  

Thank you Wunderland Press and NetGalley for ARC.

Falling Hard by Scarlet E. Rose

My Rating 3 out of 5 Stars

Falling Hard is a short read and packed with story lines.  I think there is a little to much going on in this novella, especially since there is another book.  Yes, that means cliffhanger.  The actual happenings has enough suspense, romance and sex without needing daydreams.  If the book was longer I may not have been able to keep up with the bouncing around stories and characters.  However, it left me wanting more so I will be reading the next book to see what happens with the princess, prince and Aaron.
