Uncovering Lily by Rene Webb review!

Synopsis from Goodreads

Kidnapped.

Imprisoned.

Betrayed.

Virgin, Lily MacKay has been drugged, kidnapped and imprisoned in a Hong Kong brothel with no way of escaping. And she’s tried. Will the man she’s been given to for the night be her worst nightmare or her rescuer?

Businessman, Xavier Finch was at the brothel to meet with a potential investor. He never intended to spend the night. When he sees Lily he instantly recognizes her, but she doesn’t remember him.

Now Xavier has only one night to make her his.

Are you ready to spend the night with Xavier?

My thoughts 💭

I enjoyed reading this! Lily was kidnapped in Paris and her dad’s old friend Finn finds her in a brothel. Finn is shocked to find Lily there but is determined to get her out. Finn starts to wonder why he was sent there instead of one of Lily’s family members. Finn has every intention of keeping his princess for himself and I can’t wait for the next book to find out what happens next!

Book #1

After the slow start it was a pretty good M.C. book. It has drama and suspense that kept me interested. I’ll be reading the next book!

Book #2

Sooo the second book was better than the first! I liked Jaxon and Chloe more in this one lol! Still great suspense and danger! Jaxson is now the pres. and Chloe needs constant protection due to the war coming. It ends in a cliffhanger 😩

He swore to never come back. She promised to hold him to his word.

After years of living the life his oppressive parents wanted for him, Cameron Blake is ready to pursue his dreams of being a reclusive artist. Pleasing the faithful baseball fans of the New York Emperors has been rewarding, but now all he wants is peace and quiet. That and an irreversible vasectomy.

Not when his father could tear her world apart with a simple phone call. Especially not when, despite everything that stands between them, her insides go wild when Cameron walks into a room. But Adri never gets to keep things the way she needs them. Ever.

After ten years, fate brings Cameron face-to-face with Adrianna, the woman he never forgot, and the little girl that ties them forever.

It all goes back to the secrets, jealousy, and heartache that destroyed the magical summer when they loved each other madly, broke each other’s hearts, and changed each other’s lives.

“Can I ask you something?” Faith choked out, pushing away the fear of her dream and letting her body’s natural attraction to Greg build inside to calm and soothe her.

“You can ask,” he coyly replied stepping closer to the bed.

She hadn’t meant to just…leave ten years ago. But guilt and confusion had hijacked her better senses. “Are you still mad at me?”

“No, Faith.” His voice was hard even though the response should have made her feel better.

It didn’t. “Good.” She nodded to cover up the sting in her heart.

His blunt answer hurt more than if it were a yes. That would have meant perhaps there were still feelings lingering close to the surface. No, meant he was over it. Over her. And Greg Mallory was too much of a man to wallow.

“Do you want me to go downstairs?” he asked gruffly.

“No.” She hoped her direct answer had the same effect on him. And the way she was looking at him, biting her lower lip.

“Me neither.” He took several heavy steps until his knees fell hard on the mattress.

The attraction between her and Greg had always been off the charts. It had confirmed the faith she’d had for many years that their bodies were made for each other. Fantastic sex had always been the tagline to their story.

Greg came at her with an open mouth while she licked her lips waiting for him. At first contact, his tongue was hard and firm taking control. He sat up and yanked off his leather jacket revealing a soft blue sweater underneath. He fell back on top of her, his fingers tangled in bundles of her hair. “God, you feel so good.” He dragged his lips along her throat, skimming her collarbone. “I want to touch every inch of you.”

“Go ahead,” she whispered, heady with passion while her bare legs wrapped tightly around his waist. She quivered and ached for him. Greg. Not just anyone.

Greg’s lips returned to her mouth. He kissed her holding her face and fisting her hair. The delicious spicy scent of him sent pools of heat straight to her core. Against his lips, she whined with pleasure.

When he sat back and fumbled with his jeans, she climbed forward. Her greedy hands mixed with his to get his pants off. She had to have him. Now! The zipper was part way down and Faith lifted her head to toss a mess of hair out of the way. Doing so caused her to focus on the two suitcases sitting in the corner of her bedroom. The reminder that she was moving to London made her feel like she’d been slapped. Upon receiving the call to take over the bureau, she would be required to leave immediately.

Faith was going to leave. Again.

Cover Reveal: Wishing For A Star by Ana Balen

Title: Wishing For A Star

Author: Ana Balen

Genre: Contemporary Romance

It’s supposed to go like this. Boy meets girl, they fall madly in love with each other, battle some shit in their way, and after conquering the challenge, they ride off to their happily ever after.
But, not one fairytale, or love story tells you that after that ride, life happens. We had our story, and we were supposed to live happily in our bubble forever. After one check-up, our bubble burst and reality started to invade. And now, facing the unsure road of IVF treatment, we have to be stronger than ever. Once again, we must go into battle for our happily ever after. Taking that first step was easy. Staying on this road is harder than we thought.
And now, with unexpected obstacles in the way, it’s not a question of if the IVF will succeed. It’s will we be strong enough to stay together and reach for the stars?

Ana Balen was born in Zagreb, Croatia, where she still lives with her husband, their son (read boss!) and the son’s pet rabbit named Shhh! (or some other gibberish that’s the favorite of their son for the day.)

She spends her days driving her husband up the wall (when he can’t get her ass up from the bed in the mornings), reading and daydreaming, or following orders from a two-year old. In the hectic life she leads (and loves every second of it), she never thought about writing. But, then one day a name popped in her head, then, the snippets of things, and she sat down and started typing. Next thing, she wrote a book. And now, she’s trying to write another one 😉

Stuck by Logan Chance review!

Synopsis from Goodreads

It’s not everyday you have the number one box office star in your car. Actually, not any day for someone like me, Nova Sparks, a plain Jane hair stylist.

And the real kick in the rear end? Not only will he be in my car, in a few weeks, he’ll be in my life— as my stepbrother.

Fate has brought Ethan Hale into my small Montana world and kept him unattainable. How’s that for cruel?

Now I’m stuck being near him. Stuck with the tabloids and paparazzi. Stuck with these feelings I shouldn’t be having.

The only way to get unstuck is accept I can’t have him and send him back to Hollywood.

The only problem? He may have other plans.

My thoughts 💭

Ethan travels to Pity Falls, Montana to meet his dad’s fiancé and his future step sister, Nova. Ethan decides he needs to “test” Nova to see if he can trust her and he’s a complete jerk towards her. At first I didn’t like him but you kind of understood why he’d be hesitant to trust that his new family isn’t out for money or a story. Once he stopped being a jerk…Nova and Ethan’s chemistry is off the charts! I enjoyed their banter and how they tried to fight their attraction but couldn’t stay away from each other in the end. This story may be too taboo for some since they do end up being step-brother & sister but it was an enjoyable read.

This was a great book it has love that doesn’t fade, some angst, drama, crazy family members and the most understanding breakup ever lol!

Love & Justice Series by Erica Lynn review!

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Lexie Hayes knows her marriage is over. After working endlessly to fix things, she’s decided to move on and find happiness elsewhere. The last thing she needs is to run into her sexy-as-hell brother-in-law at a nightclub on her birthday. He’s smug, arrogant, and so damn kissable she can barely hold on to her sanity.

Jonathon Hayes has always wanted his sister-in-law. She’s gorgeous, feisty, and unbeknownst to her, married to the largest drug supplier in the Houston and San Antonio areas. When fate puts them side by side, lust and tensions run high. He wants her and he knows she wants him.

Can he keep his feelings on a shelf long enough to keep her safe while he dethrones his drug lord brother, or will temptation overwhelm good sense and put them both on a path to destruction?

My thoughts 💭Lexie and Jonathon are hot! Their chemistry is off the charts. They’ve always shared an intense connection but she was married to his brother Dean. Jonathon saves Lexie from a bad situation and when he takes her home and they have their wicked way with one another! Jonathon is keeping secrets and Lexie is sooo sweet! This story is action packed with some dirty talking and I loved it!

Synopsis from Goodreads:

When Lynette Montgomery’s older sister dies from breast cancer, she quickly steps in to take care of her two young nephews. The boys are sweet, caring, and Lynette has no idea what she’s doing. Terrified of failing her sister, she does everything she can to present herself as the parental figure she feels the boys need, even swearing off the sexy-as-can-be cop she just so happened to have a one-night stand with outside of her best friend’s house.

Robert Barletta is a decorated and respected cop with the San Antonio PD. After having just played a key role in bringing down Houston and San Antonio’s largest drug operation, he should be on top of the world. Unfortunately for him, he can’t get that one night with a smoking hot blonde temptress out of his head.

When he’s forced to take some time off, and the two come face to face, will they be able to keep their attraction on the back burner? Or has this game of cat and mouse just started?

My thoughts 💭I’m loving this series so far! Lynette is dealing with adjusting to life without her sister and taking care of her nephews and Robert is more than willing to help her. These two were so cute and the steamy scenes were 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Synopsis from Goodreads:

Rosie Hobbs is in trouble. Big trouble. The kind of trouble that has her scared to leave her apartment. When she first met Aaron he was a fun guy who liked to have a good time. Just the kind of man she prefers. But when he wants more, and she tells him she’s not interested, he loses it. Continuous phone calls, showing up where she’s at, vandalizing her property… She finds herself turning to an unexpected protector, her best friend’s ridiculously sexy brother.

Conner Montgomery is a lawyer and he deals with this type of BS every day. However, something about Rosie has him crossing the professional line. Is it her gorgeous smile? Her charm? Or the fact that he can’t even look at her without imagining her body wrapped around his? Whatever the case, when Aaron shows up at a get-together and scares Rosie half to death, Conner’s determined to make sure he can’t get anywhere near her again.

When the stakes get higher, and the threats more real, will Conner be able to keep Rosie protected, or will their soaring passion cloud their judgment?

My thoughts 💭Another great quick read with a stalker! Rosie and Conner move in together because Rosie’s fling doesn’t want to accept its over and keeps showing up at her apartment. Rosie and Conner have an instant connection from the moment they meet. Rosie is normally in control of everything but she doesn’t mind when Conner takes over in the bedroom!

Swallow Me Whole by Gemma James review!

Synopsis from Goodreads

Sadie Sawyer wants to learn how to blow a guy. She’s my sister’s best friend. The girl I’ve known since grade school. The girl I’ve always considered off-limits. She’s the girl that crawled under a table in a bar one night and changed everything between us.

Now the brain in my pants is more than willing to step up. The rules are simple.

No kissing.

No screwing.

No falling in love.

But the more I let her use my body in the name of experimentation, the more I know being friends isn’t enough. Is it too much to want it all with her?

The taste of her lips.

The sweetness of her innocence.

The chance to earn her love.

I might have a real shot with her…if her douchebag ex and my past don’t ruin everything.

Swallow Me Whole is a friends-to-lovers standalone romance. Full-length at 77,000 words.

My thoughts 💭I loved this friends to lovers romance! Sadie and Ashton are sooo adorable. They’ve had feelings for each other since forever but have never acted on it. Ashton is a dominant male who has slept with half the town but is a good friend. Sadie found out her ex is a cheating jerk and changed her friendship with Ashton when she crawled under the table in a bar one night. Ash and Sadie agree on having a no strings attached relationship with no kissing, sex or falling in love….but end up falling for each other along the way! I loved it! I can’t wait to read more by Gemma!
