4 ‘Completely Romanced’ Stars 

 

What an amazing start for this romantic and über HOT brand new series! Sweet, ultra sexy, and with a hint of suspense, Kristen Proby has me yet again hooked from the start in this series, and already anticipating the next book.

Let’s just say Finn and London first meeting was at one of the worst possible situations. With a probable career ending injury and grieving the loss of her parents, the day of the reading of their will, the timing couldn’t be worse for Finn’s first approach on a possible date. One thing I’ve got to say on this is that I love that he was so completely drawn to her that he lost his normal strict composure and notion of time inappropriateness, lol. Like he says himself, that was totally out of character for him, and I liked that point.

Around two months after they meet again by chance, and now on her way to recovery and healing, London can realize the sizzling chemistry between them and  appreciate the smoking hot specimen that is Finn, as well as allow herself to start moving forward with her life. Finn takes this chance with both hands and it’s full steam ahead in his courtship and seduction…

“Do you make that noise often when you eat?”
“What noise?”
“The moan.” She frowns. “I don’t know, why?”
“Because if you do, I’ll have to make sure I don’t eat with you anymore. It makes me want to fuck you, London.”

London is such an intricate character, specially with her background as musical’s headliner, and recent pain from the horrible incident that caused her to not only almost losing her life, but having her parents ripped from her, she reveals such a strong, sassy,  independent – even too stubborn at times, lol – persona, that never gives in easily to Finn’s ‘control freak’ nature, and it’s fantastic to see the organic way in which they adapt – or argue – to being a couple. 

“To be understood is profound. You understand me. It’s a big deal.”

The natural feeling but speedy relationship development, coupled with those smoking HOT sexy times – that made me believe this is, not counting that scorching hot menage, lol, KP’s steamiest book to date. Sure they have some bumps in the road, but I adored how he never gave up on her, and ALWAYS went to her, even if she didn’t initially felt it  exactly what she needed. And Oh boy, did this man pack a punch, his dominating personality was raised to some serious epic sexy moments. Yep, not only did the man rock in the romantic department, he was unforgettable between the sheets – or in the town car, lol.

If I’m not mistaken, Finn Cavanaugh just claimed me. And it was the hottest moment of my life.

Finn and London’s story was the perfect appetizer for this new series that I have no doubt will leave us just as captivated as all the other fantastic ones that Ms. Proby has given us. That ending though, even though I know we will have a follow up on the couple in the next book, for an Epilogue lover like myself, the short time lapse ones always leave feeling somewhat not fully satisfied, and wanting to see what I have  no doubt their HEA, but in their own book. So yes, now, like the KP addict that I am, I’m seriously counting down the day for the next book, not only to fall for the next brother, but also to see more Finn and London! All ready for more Romancing Manhattan! <3 <3 <3 <3

I’ve never believed in love at first sight, but since I met Finn, I’ve hardly been able to see much of anything else.

“I love you, more than I ever thought it was possible to love another person. It seems that you came crashing into my life in one big, magical storm, and I can’t remember what it was like before you.”

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

HUSBAND MATERIAL

Series: Left at The Altar series (collaboration of six bestselling authors)

Author: Raine Miller

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: August 19th, 2018

 

 

She left me the week before our wedding.

Said I wasn’t “husband material.”

Actually, I’d have to agree with my ex on that matter…because I’m just better off alone.

But everything changed for me the day I met a mysterious beauty sketching on the beach.

Giselle…

We had one magical night together…and then she was gone—a free-spirited angel who flitted away with the dawn.

I searched until I found her again.

And now I can’t let her go…because I might just be husband material after all.

*Husband Material is the third book in the LEFT AT THE ALTAR series in a collaboration of six New York Times Bestselling Authors:  J. S. Scott, Ruth Cardello, Raine Miller, Sawyer Bennett, M. Malone, and Melody Anne.

4.5 ‘French Beach Fairy’ Stars

 

Oh là là!!! What a perfect little summer read! Sweet, super sexy, fun but a whole lot of emotion, Husband Material packs quite a punch for a novella and holds a grip on us from start to finish.

Gage has just been left on the altar with a very ‘explicit’ letter by his ex bride, that has he completely losing hope of ever finding someone to share his future with…

“She’s definitely right about one thing,” I said suddenly. “I’m not husband material, and I think I’m meant to be single. For good.”

And like the best things in life, a beautiful French girl, Giselle pops up in his beach and in his life, unexpectedly and makes him, after the initial shock at each others chemistry, change his mind little by little.

She’d given me so many. Smiles. In a short time, I’d become rather addicted to Giselle’s smiles.

Her palms pressed along the contours of my chest as if she were a sculptor hand-fashioning her creation—molding the clay to her will—and I was her clay. Willingly.

There were so incredible and amazing things that made me fall in love with Gage and Giselle, first of all how could is see someone who is your namesake – very rare for this girl and always gets me giddy when I do – and that you share so many both similarities and dreams. I adored this woman, she was so very sweet and passionate, but also so mature, strong and in touch with her feelings, she was the perfect female character!

There was something about Giselle that was so diverse and so physical. Like a wild creature in its natural habitat. Except her natural habitat was everywhere. She knew where she wanted to be and she just…went there.

And Gage, oh my… He was such a deliciously sexy, tough guy, but with such a secret tender heart that simultaneously craved and feared to find his soulmate, and his own HEA.

Uneasiness that I was heading into some dangerous uncharted territory…for my heart.

Giselle was the one who’d given me far more than I could ever give to her.

Giselle was all about expression…in everything she did in her life.

How could I not fall for him when he was so completely and utterly smitten by his ‘French Beach Fairy?! From that very first look we could see and feel his enchantment. And how he did everything in his power to find her, more than once, yep, totally swoon worthiness right there. That, the love and care, the steaming HOT- or should I say scorching – sexy times and that last EPIC love gesture made him go straight to my best book boyfriend list! 

Giselle was one lucky, but just as wonderful, woman, and just as deeply in love and devoted to him as he was to her. 

My beautiful surfing man just does not yet know the depths of what he could give if only he would allow the love to break through the hurt that lived in his heart.

Raine Miller surprised me with Husband Material, considering I never expected that she could still pack all the emotional depth and range that she got us used to in her brilliant storytelling talent, but boy was I wrong! It was everything I was hoping for and more, and one of the best novellas I have ever read! And those little Easter eggs were awesome! A bit more of epilogue – we all know how much of an epilogue wh@re I am, lol – and it would have been the full five stars. I need even more Gage and Giselle, and their future HEA, which I’m hoping we’ll get considering the author’s note that Gage’s friends are getting their own books. Let the stalking begin! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Giselle was it for me. My girl.

The point is, my gorgeous Gi, you are my home. Wherever you want to be is where I will live.”

That’s what I believed, so it became my truth. She had been sent from heaven or somewhere to find me…and save me. To be mine. Forever.

Tyler Cree has never been good at the whole look and don’t touch thing.
From the moment he was old enough to walk on his own two feet, he’s been looking for trouble.
Trouble comes in many forms…quite a few of those forms being the female persuasion.
Tyler knows what girls want—a bad boy. And he has the bad boy image down pat.
Ex-military—check.
Hot cop—double check.
A bike between his legs and a devil may care attitude—oh, yeah.
All the girls want him, yet none of them will have him—at least not all of him, anyway. A certain appendage they can have all they want. His heart, however, is not up for grabs. The useless organ inside his chest was broken and battered, mutilated by the one woman he thought would keep it safe.
Spoiler alert: she ripped it to shreds and set fire to the pieces.
To protect himself, Tyler keeps everyone at arm’s length, and never lets anyone get too close.
Then Reagan Rose Alvarez barrels into his life, and trespasses on not only his property, but straight into his abused heart. One glance is all it takes, and he’s suddenly thinking about things he hasn’t thought for quite some time—thoughts that a man like him should never have about a woman like her.
One moment of weakness is all it takes, and suddenly he has no other choice but to go on the offensive.
Keeping her is the only other option now.
Turns out, his heart isn’t as broken as he thought it was.
The only problem is, now the little she-devil holds it in the palm of her hands, and she has no clue just how much power she holds.

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Sports Romance

What’s wrong with my butt?
She means those words to be directed toward the woman beside her, not him. But he can’t stop himself from answering. Not when her ass is the most magnificent thing he’s seen in his life.
Apparently, answering her with ‘not a damn thing’ wasn’t what she was expecting.
She likely wasn’t expecting the baseball she took to the face at his next at bat, either.
All it takes is one ill-fated foul ball, and George Hoffman, Lumberjacks center fielder, falls head over heels in love with Wrigley Field—and yes, that is her real name.
From that point forward, George and Wrigley fall into a fast whirlwind love that ends with them eloping to Vegas. And he has his potty mouth, titty bar owning, pain in the ass grandmother to thank for it.
Not that he’s complaining or anything.
Who wouldn’t want to be married to a woman that made his heart race like he was in the final game of the World Series?
The only problem is trying to convince her of that.

3.75 ‘Second Round’ Stars

 

Oh my Lord, the ANGST!!! Lani Lynn Vale put my heart through the wringer with this one!

Everyone that knows and follows me, also knows of my addiction to all things LLV, and I have to say that after the perfection of that first book in this series, Pitch Please – if you haven’t read that you need to, STAT – I’ve been anxiously and impatiently waiting for this book. Well, I can say that George and  Wrigley sure surprised each and myself right along with them!

“Hello,” I smiled. “I’m sorry.” 
She smiled back. “Sorry for what?” 
I pressed lightly on her forehead, right above where the swelling was starting, and said, “For hitting you in the face with a ball.” 
She moaned. “That’s gonna suck the next few weeks.” she frowned. “I’d say I’d take your balls to my face any time you want but…I have a class for battered women tomorrow. This is going to be hard for them to look at.”

With the most unconventional – but surely impactful – first meeting, these two’s love story was a whirlwind of emotion and angst filled events. Wrigley Fields – yes, that’s her name, and wait until you read her siblings’, lol – ,not a fan of baseball, is dragged by her younger sister to watch the Lumberjacks game, where Furious George is playing. From the moment they locked eyes they were attracted, what they didn’t expect was the George’s odd ball would be the first thing to make contact with her.

He was beautiful, kind, thoughtful, and overall a really great guy. Plus, he had a beard.

I’d witnessed my first home run ever, and I was officially addicted to baseball. 
Or maybe it was the man. 
I didn’t know. 
But addiction was in there somewhere.

With a smoking hot bearded ginger giant I’d be hooked for life too. Specially with those tight baseball pants! Who can resist a handsome man in those?!

I loved how George was so open about wanting her and wooing Wrigley from the get go, and from that moment it was full speed ahead, marriage and baby, and what it seemed to be an HEA.

 He was my hero. 
Seriously, all I did was worry, and all he did was reassure me. 
We were a match made in heaven.

But no, something happens and we find these two divorced for eight months, but still very much in love. So we have a time jump, and normally I don’t mind them, but here it should make the story Arc a bit strange – specially given we jump the separation and are just told what happened – and it seemed very un-LLV. George is alone, away from his love and his baby boy, and I hurt for him SO bad. I could feel his pain, his frustration, his helplessness, and was seriously mad at Wrigley for allowing the past event and her stubbornness and pride, to keep them apart.

I used to be tame. I used to be able to control my temper…I used to be happy. 
Now, I wasn’t. 
Now, I was worse than before I’d met her. 
I was lost. 
I was broken. 
I was alone. 
And worst of all, I didn’t want to be found. 
Not by anyone but her. 
I was simply existing.

I was going to have her back. 
In my home. In my bed. In my life. And I was going to get back into her heart.

George was absolutely perfect in this first half of the book, he had the patience of a saint during those eight months but then all of the sudden BAM, he had the most idiotic, and one of my personal peeves regarding separated couples that it’s clear that still very much in love – I couldn’t believe not only his approach and how he dealt with it and the series of events and media repercussion – but also his carelessness of how much it would her Wrigley. True, the separation and divorce was her fault, but with the way he went that it completely made me forget her blame and become seriously raging mad at him, and it’s a shame because I had such high hopes for him (with the perfection that was Hancock and how spectacular George was on the first half). 

“You’re beautiful, and not a day will go by that I don’t find every single inch of you captivating.”

“I’ve regretted my decisions for a really long time now. It would make me the happiest woman alive if you allowed me the chance to rectify my poor choices.”

In between that initial media and OW drama, and horrifying disaster that had me crying , they ended up supporting each other, and finding his way back together, but the media, and George mistake snowballed in a way, that had me fuming at him! Wrigley had all the right to be beyond mad, and that last OW drama scene – that seemed out of the blue, and made no sense, and contradicted the whole background of both characters, more like a plot inconsistency/error, that I hoped it was fixed – , as well as his explanation, sadly tainted the whole story for me. Even more so because his senseless explanation and its close proximity to their ending, I felt a bit disheartened, because I truly adored the first half and their story had such great potential, with all their background and the motive for their separation, as well as their families, they had a LOT going on, so the unnecessary OW drama just  a step too much. Fortunately, after all this rollercoaster we got to see their beautiful and much anticipated HEA.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Lani Lynn Vale truly pulls to all my emotions, that is for sure. I laughed, I cried (yes, I was literally gripping my seat when the disaster happened and I was transported to Shock Advise’s heartbreak), I swooned, I raged, and I just soaked in all the words from start to finish. Ms. Vale has the gift of gripping us in from the get go, and making us live through all the feelings the main characters are going through. And with the amazing cast that we have in these Lumberjack’s team – btw, I ADORED the tiny bits we got of Hancock and Sway! – and  I wonder who she will gift us with next. Maybe Gentry?! Manny?! Gunner?! I don’t know, I just know I need it NOW!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

WRANGLE ME

Series: Standalone

Author: Rochelle Paige as Gigi Thorne

Genre: Contemporary Romance

This bossy rancher is about to be brought to his knees by an innocent beauty. 

Alexandra Cooper is desperate to get away from home. A four-month gig as a cook at the Circle B Ranch is exactly what she needs. Except when she gets there, it feels like she jumped out of the pan and straight into the fire. 

Alexandra is nothing like Colton Booth expected when he hired her. If he’d realized “Alex” was a gorgeous eighteen-year-old girl, he never would have given her the job in the first place. But now that he has her on his ranch, he doesn’t plan to ever let Alexandra go. 

Wrangle Me is a steamy novella with a sexy cowboy who has a wicked sweet tooth and an innocent virgin who knows how to satisfy it. Written by bestselling author Rochelle Paige.

4.25 ‘ Wrangled Up’ Stars

What a deliciously sweet and HOT cowboy Romance! 

Rochelle Paige, writing as Gigi Thorne really gave us the insta cowboy smuttiness perfect for a quick ‘before bedtime’ read. 

Alexandra landed in Colton’s doorstep, after running from her oppressive household, and Colton Booth – smoking hot cowboy, through and through, was shocked beyond words when the young cook he hired turned out to be the gorgeous, sweet and innocent little woman in front of him. Clever man that he was, and knowing Fate when it landed in his lap, lol, Colton just needed to slowly and surely – he’s an Alpha after all – wrangle Alex in. 😉

I’d had my fair share of good luck over the years, but none of it compared to how fortunate I was to have had Alexandra land on my doorstep the way she had.

Wrangle Me was such an incredibly sweet, insta-love – though Colton conquers her slowly and patiently – little read. No angst, scorching HOT, and endearingly sweet love story that will leave you all warm – for more reasons than one, lol –  and fuzzy, and craving even more Cowboy romance, that Gigi Thorne’s next author will surely deliver with this month’s theme.  <3 <3 <3 <3

I knew deep down in my bones that I wasn’t just going to be her first and only, she was going to be my last.

“I hate that you had to live through what you did, but I’m damn happy that when you went runnin’ it brought you straight to me.”

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Model: Lan Daviau

Release Date: July 6th, 2018

Coke Solomon has lived a full life.

He’s a retired army drill sergeant, so he is more than used to getting his way.

And if he can’t have his way?
Well, let’s just say that’s never happened before…

At least not until Cora Maldonado walks into his life, demanding he fall in line, or she’ll find a way to make his life hell.

He finds out fast that Cora marches to the beat of her own drum, and a lot of times that drum takes her farther away rather than closer to where he feels she needs to be.

He can’t stand it.

He wants her, and he has to have her.

It doesn’t matter what she’s twenty years younger than him, and has a father that would rather see him dead than have his baby girl anywhere near him. Nor does it matter that his ex-wife is highly offended that she’s been replaced with a much younger woman.

Despite the odds stacking against them, he’ll fight for what he wants.
His ex-wife, her father, and their age difference be damned.

4.25 ‘ His Voice made me DO IT’ Stars

Oh LA LA… Talk about a orgasmic voice! And the whole package – even some excess one, lol – that went along with it! Cora had ZERO chance to resist her new and silver fox neighbor!

Cora has recently moved to Hostel, and barely settled in, she has to deal with a apparent noisy neighbor. After gearing up for a confrontation, she was shell shocked, and speechless when faced with the handsome and raspy voiced that was Coke Solomon. 

“Cora?” 
I’d know that raspy, deep voice anywhere. 
Whether I was fully conscious or deeply asleep, awake or in my dreams, that voice was like a homing beacon…for my vagina.

Yep, the voice really was the deal breaker. After that initial meeting and the instant sizzling chemistry and bilateral attraction, they develop a easy – and special – somewhat of a friendship.

After the nightmare that was Coke’s more than seventeen year old marriage, and even after two years divorced the constant presence of his ex, and his new found solitude with his seventeen old daughter away at college, let’s just say that Cora is exactly the breath of fresh air he needed to uplift his life in more ways than one. He more than deserves his HEA!

Beatrice said, popping up at my side like a STD that just kept coming back regardless of what I did to get rid of it.

Unfortunately, a nagging ex-wife that you hated wasn’t one of the things that would warrant a restraining order. 
Bummer.

That’s right, he describes the level of insanity and clinginess of his ex wife, to the perfection. I have to say that if not for the EVER presence – even if not exactly physical – of this OTT insane woman all throughout the book, always causing problems and drama of some kind, I would have enjoyed the book even more and would definitely rate it higher. She just took too much of their love story, stealing too much of my attention, and distracting me from their connection. I just wished her presence and relevance had been toned down a bit. If you are a follower of my reviews, you know how I always prefer my OW drama in small doses, and that the angst comes from outside forces, but nonetheless, I think Coke really was worth all this baggage, the man was such a GOOD GUY!!!

Cora was just as brilliant! As an introvert at core like myself, I so deeply sympathize with her, and though – much like Coke – that she was incredible! Their instant attraction and their ever growing friendship, and blossoming feelings, truly sold me out! Not to talk about all the sexiness going on! 

“Fuck, baby.” 
I couldn’t agree more. 
Fuck was right. 
The man had rocked my world. If there was a way that everyone wanted losing their virginity to go, that was it.

Oh boy, with how much they craved each other, you can imagine the level of explosion that went on when they finally decided to give in to their desires. The sexy times were OFF THE CHARTS hot! One would never guess that we were talking about a virgin, and a not overly experienced man – I absolutely loved that he had been with only five women in his thirty five years old! – that’s right, they were THAT hot for one another!

Of course at some point events (and extremely awkward situations) happen that bring Cora’s insecurities and deep seated issues to light, and once again, I loved how real Ms. Vale portrayed Cora and the complexity of her character. Her doubts were palpable, and I was right there with her in her internal battle and rooting for her to pull trough and take a chance. To choose a chance of a HEA!

I also felt somewhat bad that I couldn’t hang with the big dogs in the crazy department—but I had enough crazy of my own. I didn’t need anybody else’s crazy to deal with, too…right?

Coke was bad for me. Coke was bad for me. 
Maybe if I kept repeating those words, one day I’d believe them.

Indeed she had valid points, but the man that was Coke Solomon, fought for her, but at the same time respected her issues, and supported her all the way throughout their love story.

Another relationship that I adored in this book was the ‘sisterly’ behavior of Janie (specially this one), Kayla and Cora. Like true sisters, the two former, really pushed Cora’s buttons, and got on her last introvert nerve, but you could see and feel that in the end, it all came from a place of love. They were ALWAYS there for her, even if it was the last thing Cora wanted. Very sisterly like indeed! LOL

Coke showed what fantastic person he was, even in the previous book, Get You Some, with how he dealt and helped June. I loved him then – even already knowing of the crazy ex, lol – but  added to that, being an amazing father, a spectacular alpha, he was without a doubt the very perfect match for Cora, (even if I wished that he had realized a bit sooner 😉 )so no wonder she feel for the man! Just check out come of the things he said and thought, totally swoon worthy material hero!  

I wanted…no, I needed her.

She was wrong about that. 
I didn’t like her. I loved her. 
Though similar, this love business felt like something that was going to rip its way out of my chest and cause my heart to explode.

I knew for a fact that I wanted to give her everything. 
I wanted to get married. I wanted to make her happy. I wanted her to outlive me. I wanted everything. And for her, I’d even be happy with kids.

Ain’t Doin’ It is another Lani Lynn Vale success, and an amazing addition to this that is now one of my all time favorite series of hers, SIMPLE MAN! Emotional, hilarious, suspense, romance and super steamy moments, we had it all. And now I’m literally counting down the days so we can get the fifth book of the series, Too Bad So Sad! Can’t wait! <3 <3 <3 <3

We’d take our lives together one step at a time, and eventually we’d fight those demons together. 
In the meantime, I was happy to be there for her just as she was thankful to be there for me. 
I’d found something special in my neighbor, and I would thank every single star in the sky for being handed such a gift.
