Meant to be Mine by Lisa Marie Perry

Loving him was hard. Wanting him was so damn easy . . .

Sofia Mercer may have been sick as a teen, but she’s no delicate flower. And she’s proven it by making it on her own and starting a new life away from the town that turned against her, away from the boy who broke her already fragile heart. But when her aunt Luz dies unexpectedly, leaving Sofia with a mountain of regrets and the keys to a quirky boutique, Sofia has no choice but to return to Cape Cod. Only, this new life in her old town comes with complications.

Burke Wolf was Sofia’s first love—a relationship that burned bright and went up in flames. Seeing him again, Sofia can’t help but get caught up in that all-too- familiar tornado of passion and pain. He’s battled his own demons—that much is clear. But Sofia can’t afford to be careless with her
heart . . . and loving Burke again might just break it completely.



MY REVIEW!!
4.5 STARS!!

Run to You by Rachel Lacey

ONE LITTLE LIE. A WHOLE LOTTA TROUBLE.

Moments after meeting the most gorgeous guy ever, Gabby Winters promptly gets stung by a zillion yellowjackets and falls-not gracefully-into a stream. Yup, Ethan Hunter is trouble with a capital "hot," and Gabby definitely needs to keep her distance. Except in the small town of Haven, there's nowhere to hide from Ethan's sexy, infectious grin . . . and all the residents are conspiring against her.

At the center of the town's matchmaking is Ethan's grandmother, who's convinced their relationship is a done deal. Rather than break her heart, Gabby and Ethan find themselves cornered into pretending to be falling in love. The problem: there's serious sizzling attraction between them. And if this charade continues, they won't fool just the entire town - they might fool themselves too ...


MY REVIEW!!
4 STARS!!
Gabby Winters has just gotten out of a bad relationship and has moved to Haven to relax and basically hide but also to find herself again. Enter Ethan Hunter who doesn't do relationships, after a not so great childhood he doesn't want to ever get involved with someone for more then a few nights. Neither is looking for a relationship but end up in one anyway.

I really loved and enjoyed this book. Really a cute story that had me hooked from the moment I started the book. I loved the character of Ethan and his friends. I thought they were pretty cool and there business venture was very interesting. I also like how they were all invested in it and I definitely can't wait to read there stories. I think this is a great summer time read and a really good start to this series. Can't wait to read more.

Throttle's Seduction by Chiah WIlder Blog Tour Stop

Throttle, Road Captain of the Insurgents Motorcycle Club, likes his women willing, stacked, and no strings attached. His life and needs are simple: riding his Harley, bedding as many women as can fit in his bed, and scorching his throat with whiskey.
The tall, rugged outlaw is a magnet for women who love life on the wild and dangerous side. They know not to expect anything from the tattooed biker but sheer pleasure.
Life couldn’t be better.
Until he meets Kimber. The black-haired mechanic at Hawk’s bike shop. What the f@#k? In his world, the only thing a woman should do on a Harley is spread her pretty legs wide.
She is sassy-mouthed, aggravating, and not his type at all. And he doesn’t need any woman—let alone a chick in mechanic coveralls—messing with his head.
It’s a shame all he can think about is doing nasty things to her on his motorcycle.
Kimber Descourts has had to fight to be accepted in a man’s world and she is not a quitter. Always attracted to the bad boy biker, she has had her share of unfaithful, jerk boyfriends. Swearing off all bikers since her last boyfriend made her his punching bag, she’s content with working on Harleys, taking a few business classes, and being blissfully alone.
Then she meets Throttle.
He’s a cocky, chauvinistic bastard. Oh yeah… he’s also incredibly handsome, built, and sexy as all hell. He’s exactly her type. She should run far away from him, but her body wants him in the worst way.
They say opposites attract, but when a hardened biker and a tough free-spirit ignite, their world combusts. Will their differences bring them together or pull them apart?
In the midst of Throttle and Kimber’s tug of war, a Peeping Tom has been creeping around Pinewood Springs watching ladies behind the shadows of the night. He spots Kimber Descourts and is drawn to her. And he’s beginning to grow bored of just watching….
Can Kimber put her pride aside and ask for Throttle’s help? Is Throttle ready to let the feisty mechanic melt his icy heart?

Throttle, he is a man's man, he knows a woman has one place and that's to please him. Especially if your a club chaser. He only shows 2 woman who he truly is, and that's his sister and his neice. His club is his family, his brothers and his life. He has everything he needs or so he thought. Kimber is a female mechanic in Hawks shop, she knows she is in a man's world but she will be damned if a man will treat her with less respect then anyone else. When she meets Throttle her sassy mouth gets her trouble. They both can't stop thinking about each other. This sexy and sassy mechanic has Throttle by the balls. Something he never anticipated. Kimber has thought she had swore off bikers but Throttle keeps pushing. Before either of them could blink they are getting to know each other in more ways then one. Their feelings keep growing, but when a peeping Tom has his sights set on Kimber it could be the end of them. 

I really loved and enjoyed this book. I really loved both characters, especially Throttle. He's tough and sexy and down right dangerous but then there's Kimber who's just as tough and won't take no shit from anybody especially Throttle. When they first meet you can just see sparks fly and passion is in the air. This is a really good series, has been able to keep me hooked more and more with each book and each book just gets better and better. Can't wait for the next book!!

From NYT & USA Today bestselling author comes a new Bleeding Stars stand-alone novel…
She is his strength and he is her weakness. And this time he won’t let her go.

Edie Evans is gorgeous.
Sexy.
Kind.
She’s also the definition of off-limits.
But that didn't stop me from sneaking into her room to comfort her at night.
But guys like me? We destroy everything, so it should have been no surprise when I destroyed us, too. The night I sent her running, I thought I’d never see her again. Until I saw her standing like a vision in the crowd.

Austin Stone is dangerous. 
Alluring.
Tempting.

He broke my heart and I refused to give him the chance to do it again.
It’s been years since I’ve seen him, and now I can’t do anything but stare at the gorgeous, tattooed man playing onstage. I should run. I know I should. But like a fool, I run straight back to him.
Our desire is overpowering. 
Our need unrelenting.
She is my hope.
He is my weakness.
We should have known a passion this intense would burn us right into the ground.


MY REVIEW!!
4 STARS!!
I really liked and enjoyed this book. I loved both characters of Austin and Edie, they were both so intriguing and made the story so much better. Was definitely hooked from the beginning of the story. 
I loved Austin, he was mysterious, sweet, protective and broken. He suffered a lot and Edie was the one to save him. She was the light to his darkness, she was everything to him. Fate brought them together, giving them a second chance. Really a great story and an even better series. Can't wait to read more.

Anti Stepbrother by Tijan Review!!

He told me to settle. 
He asked what was wrong with me. 
He called me an easy target. 
That was within minutes when I first met Caden Banks. 
I labeled him an *sshole, but he was more than that. Arrogant. Smug. Alpha. 
He was also to-die-for gorgeous, and my stepbrother’s fraternity brother. 
Okay, yes I was a little naive, a tad bit socially awkward, and the smallest amount of stalker-ish, but if Caden Banks thought he could tell me what to do, he had another thing coming. 
I came to college with daydreams about being with my stepbrother, but what if I fell for the anti-stepbrother instead? 
*Stand-alone novel


MY REVIEW!!
5 STARS!!

Summer Stoltz has had a crush on Kevin Mathews for a long time, then he becomes her step brother and things get weird. With his endless girlfriends and never being home she feels she barely exists. Until one night and then that's it. Now she's a freshman in college and hoping to finally have a relationship with him. 
But the she literally runs into Caden Banks and its the last thing either of them expect. They start to have a friendship but can a guy and a girl really only be friends?

I really loved and enjoyed this book.  It hooked me from the very start and dint let up at all! I really loved both the characters, but Summer really stood out to me, she was cute, funny and very quirky and basically  always said what was on her mind. Even though she knows how Kevin is she can't help but feel what she feels, then Caden comes along and turns her world upside down. I really enjoyed the story line  and love how Caden was with his brothers and Summer. I totally forgot what it felt like to be in Tijan's world and this book made me realize I missed it.  Really a great intriguing read that you definitely don't want to miss. Can't wait to read more by the author.

Reaper's Fire by Joanna Wylde Blog Tour Stop

The club comes first.
I’ve lived by those words my whole life—assumed I’d die by them, too, and I never had a problem with that. My Reaper brothers took my back and I took theirs and it was enough. Then I met her. Tinker Garrett. She’s beautiful, she’s loyal, and she works so damned hard it scares me sometimes . . . She deserves a good man—one better than me. I can’t take her yet because the club still needs me. There’s another woman, another job, another fight just ahead.
Now she’ll learn I’ve been lying to her all along. None of it’s real. Not my name, not my job, not even the clothes I wear. She thinks I’m nice. She pretends we’re just friends, that I’ve still got a soul . . . Mine’s been dead for years. Now I’m on fire for this woman, and a man can only burn for so long before he destroys everything around him.
I’m coming for you, Tinker.

MY REVIEW!!
4.5 STARS!!

Gage has been to investigate an MC the Nighthawk Raiders who the Reaper's suspect of stealing from them, his best in is the president's trashy sister. Unfortunately for him, it's also the same time he meets the one woman that tempts him to leave his womanizing ways behind. Too bad he can't have her since his job and brotherhood come first. Tinker hasn't had a great last couple of year, her bad marriage, mom dying and now her father is not doing so well. The last thing she needs is Gage complicating things. 

I really loved and enjoyed this book. I loved the characters of Tinker and Gage both very strong willed and willing to do anything for those they love. I will say it did bother me that Gage spent so much time with Talia in the book it. I just hated her character and it through me off every time she was around, especially for so long. I really love and enjoy this series and I need more already, this book was just not enough!

Close to You by Kristen Proby Review!!

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby comes the second novel in her sizzling Fusion series.

Camilla, “Cami,” LaRue was five-years-old when she first fell in love with Landon Palazzo. Everyone told her the puppy love would fade—they clearly never met Landon. When he left after graduation without a backward glance, she was heartbroken. But Cami grew up, moved on, and became part-owner of wildly popular restaurant Seduction. She has everything she could want...or so she thinks. 

After spending the last twelve years as a Navy fighter pilot, Landon returns to Portland to take over the family construction business. When he catches a glimpse of little Cami LaRue, he realizes she’s not so little any more. He always had a soft spot for his little sister’s best friend, but nothing is soft now when he’s around the gorgeous restauranteur.

Landon isn’t going to pass up the chance to make the girl-next-door his. She’s never been one for romance, but he’s just the one to change her mind. Will seduction be just the name of her restaurant or will Cami let him get close enough to fulfill all her fantasies?
