Halloween TREATS really is the most perfect title for this DELICIOUS read!!!

Sugary sweet hotness like the author’s warning acknowledges couldn’t be a better definition for this couple’s story!

Jack and Raven make the cutest couple EVER! And their little helper… Awww… So damn sweet! Raven was sweetness personified, the teacher is so caring and shy that when Jack, the work and family devoted architect, set his eyes on her, he installed knew she was future, now hejust had to come up with a strategy to take his woman, without scaring her off with the intensity of his desire. But Jack was a man on a mission and had no problem in doing what he could to slowly, (yes, I was so surprised by his patience, since it didn’t follow the AR’s hero modus operandi insta bluntness, lol) take over Raven’s life, unknowingly to her. As excepted, an OTT alpha male can only take so much waiting, so his nephew’s Halloween school party proved to be was the  perfect setting for him to show all his cavemen tendencies and take HIS woman!  I LOVED his brand of alpha, pure stalkerish goodness. Yes, I adore an obsessive stalker as H, it pushes all my tingling buttons, and this one fitted the bill perfectly! *cue fanning myself*

This review concerns just Halloween Treats, but since I read all the stories in this bundle, I have to say it’s most definitely a MUST read, one click, holiday treat!!! So many scorchingly hot, Smutty sweet, reads (including one of my personal all time favs, Riding Red) compacted in one book, what are you waiting for?! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Synopsis

Nikolai Vassago has a plan.

His day starts out fairly normal. Get up, kick some ass, fondle his beard, take some names.

One second he’s participating in a normal every day mission, and the next he’s saving the one woman that fate has promised him for the rest of his life from the grips of a criminal mastermind.

Nikolai can’t say he’s altogether displeased with what he’s given, though. Not with that gorgeous brunette that would soon be warming his bed.

The same can’t be said for Brooklyn.

Living in a commune most of her life meant she wasn’t exposed to all of life’s craziness. The moment she turned eighteen, she was off and running, experiencing all of what life had to give.

That means she sometimes jumps in feet first, not thinking about consequences until the deed is already done.

Nikolai rescues her from a fate worse than hell, throwing her on the back of his dragon and flying off into the night.

He’s a go-with-the-flow kind of man. Brooklyn, however, is not.

Having been caged for the first eighteen years of her life, she wants nothing more than to be free to do what she pleases, consequences be damned.

Nikolai, however, has different ideas, and he’s not above using his masculine will to prove to her that she’s exactly where she needs to be.

Excerpt

I don’t know why I never expected Nikolai to be able to fight.

He had the muscles.

He worked out.

He was aware.

But he never struck me as fierce.

I wasn’t thinking that anymore, though, as I watched him beat the ever loving shit out of his opponent.

He never used a single one of his powers to accomplish it, either.

He did it all with sheer strength, force of will, and knowledge.

He was divine.

All we were supposed to be doing was buying some supplies for the house.

It’d been over two months since I’d woken from my coma, six weeks since he’d told me I was his mate and even longer since the housekeeper had stocked the kitchens.

I’d never been so happy to leave the confines of a house.

I would’ve been happy with going in a plain old car; but, today, Nikolai had taken me on a motorcycle, of all things.

I’d always wanted to ride on one but had never had the courage to ask for a ride.

Today, though, I’d practically begged Nikolai for us to take it.

He’d argued that a truck would hold more groceries, but I’d been adamant.

I didn’t even know why, either.

Just the thought of being in the open air, outside the confines of the sanctuary, turned me into a giggling mass of excitement.

And I was sure that nothing would ruin this day…but I’d been wrong.

Since I was now watching my man get ganged up on by five men.

My uncle’s cronies could ruin my day, as evidenced by the stupid goon trying to slash Nikolai’s face off with a fuckin’ saber sword.

I’d at first tried to help Nikolai, but his insistence that I back up and stay the hell out of it had been loud and clear, even when he hadn’t actually said any of those words out loud.

But he’d been awesome at screaming them inside my head like I was a disobeying three-year-old, rather than a twenty-six-year-old grown ass adult who knew how to wipe her own butt.

I watched with the brick wall of a convenience store at my back.

Nikolai’s bike was on its side where he’d dumped it.

My arm was scratched, and a strange throbbing sensation was going on with my ribs.

Funny enough, I hadn’t remembered ever hitting my ribs. Nikolai had been extremely careful about laying his bike down as we slid.

He’d also made me wear protective clothing, such as a brand new pair of motorcycle boots. A leather jacket with padding in the elbows and back, as well as a pair of pants that were supposedly flame proof.

I was glad he’d forced me to wear them now; but a scant hour before, as I’d been getting dressed, I’d been reluctant.

“Duck!” Nikolai screamed.

Then, I was seeing nothing but black. Everything around me was black.

“Nikolai!” I whispered frantically. “I can’t see!”

Strong arms, the arms that I was coming to care for in the short few days that we’d officially started to ‘date,’ wrapped around me.

“Shh,” he breathed, so low that I couldn’t be sure that he said anything at all.

Grab the bike, he whispered through my brain.

I moved my arms forward and grabbed on to the bike, feeling him shift as he got on. Then he pulled me on behind him and a loud roar sounded as he turned over the engine.

“Hold on,” he rushed.
I held on.

About the Author

I’m a lover of all things books, a hopeless romantic, and have always had a passion for writing. Between being a sappy romantic, my love of an HEA, my crazy imagination, and ok, let’s be real, my dirty mind, I fell easily into writing romance.

I’m a huge baseball fan and yet, a complete girly, girl. I’m an obsessive reader and have a slight (hahaha! Slight? Yeah, right) addiction to signed books.

I’m married to my very own book boyfriend, an alpha male with a sexy, sweet side. He is the best inspiration, my biggest supporter and the love of my life. He is also incredibly patient and understanding about the fact that he has to fight the voices in my head for my attention.

I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them!

RIDING THROUGH by Dani Wyatt

Synopsis

Everything was going fine until I saw her ass in those riding pants. Constance Montgomery with her legs spread on the leather of the saddle. Her top half has my mouth watering and things inside me shift. Seems my program is about to change. All the years of indifference to any female form all come tumbling down. My hard rule to never get involved with a student is about to be broken. With her.   Reed Sawyer is at the top of his game. The top equestrian trainer around and I’m about to pass out because he’s looking right at me. Only, he’s not my trainer. I’m tired of being under my parent’s thumb. Maybe it’s time I pushed the envelope a little. And Reed Sawyer looks like just the right wall to start pushing on.   A naïve, sheltered girl. A brooding, perfectionist with years of pent up need. The sparks fly. The walls come down. Hot lessons are learned.

About the Author

Dani Wyatt used to feel bad about having such dirty thoughts. Luckily, one day she decided to starting writing them down. Her uber alpha heros have a wicked possessive streak and an insatiable libido. Her heroines are intelligent, quirky and worry about having too much muffin top. With her books, you can count on a heaping helping of HOT and always a happily ever after.

When she’s not writing (which is not often) she is probably laughing about some irony (like A-1 Steak Sauce is vegan), riding her horse, wondering why The Walking Dead can’t have a new episode every night, or looking cross-eyed at some piece of technology sent to ruin her day.

BREAK POINT by Rachel Blaufeld
Synopsis

Juliette Smith, star tennis player, is starting over at a new university.

About the Author

Turning her focus on her sometimes wild-and-crazy creative side, it only took Rachel two decades to do exactly what she wanted to do—write a fiction novel. Now she spends way too many hours in local coffee shops, downing muffins and plotting her ideas. Her tales may all come with a side of angst and naughtiness, but end deliciously.

Blaufeld, also an entrepreneur/blogger, is fearless about sharing her opinion. Before turning her pen to fiction, she captured the ear of stay-at-home and working moms on her blog, BacknGrooveMom, chronicling her adventures in parenting tweens and inventing a product, often at the same time.

Rachel lives around the corner from her childhood home in Pennsylvania with her family and two beagles. Her obsessions include running, coffee, basketball, icing-filled doughnuts, antiheroes, and mighty fine epilogues.

Synopsis

Behind the Wall is a story of an illicit love that tries to blossom behind the bars of Nottoway Correctional Center, a level 3 security prison.   Ella Newsome quit her job teaching in public school to work in a prison. Her passion is education, but when she is challenged by felon Dane Garrett in more ways than one, she’s shaken to the core.   Can love bloom in such a harsh environment, or will Ella learn things about Garrett that she’d rather not know?

About the Author

I get asked where my ideas come from. A lot. That’s a really hard one to answer, because it’s usually a build-up of vague ideas, conversations overheard (I do like to lurk), things I’ve seen or experienced, and sometimes just that weird alchemy that is imagination.

I carry a notebook everywhere in case inspiration strikes, and I’m often jotting down notes while I walk by the ocean with my four-legged best friend.

Who doesn’t love a good taboo, teacher student story?! Here you have 19 at your disposal, which guarantees that you will surely find something up to your tastes! Or several somethings! 😉
What an incredible bundle of steamy HOT stories for just $.99, and an extraordinary cause!!! It’s a one click, must read!!! You really don’t want to miss this panty melting set of taboo reads!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

This review regards the stories,

Perfect Chemistry by Aria Cole – 5 Stars

What is better than a virginal and innocent student coupled with a smoking hot teacher?! It’s that after all, they are both equally inexperienced in the sexual matters, but that doesn’t stop them from creating some scorchingly hot moments, every time Devon and Karoline in close proximity, and that is not even talking about when, after the wait for her adulthood is official, and then all bets were off! LOL

The result is yet another sweet and steamy smutty read that will more than satisfy your taboo cravings in the most delicious way! <3

Star Pupil by Rochelle Paige – 5 Stars

Star Pupil was a big different from these other taboo stories, but not in any way less appealing or hot. From the moment Griffin set eyes on Avery – a teenager actress with a big role and a great future ahead of her – he was lost for her, and did all the arrangements and everything in his power to, at the right time, take the position as her teacher, and that way showing her what he already knew in his heart, that she was his! 

I loved this different kind of insta-love, on a movie set with a protective alpha teacher that will stop at nothing to take care of his girl! <3

Dirty Lessons by C. M. Steele – 4.5 Stars

Another C. M. Steele brand of OTT Alpha in the form a teacher fighting his attraction to his student. Not that he resisted for long (FYI, just some hours, LOL), the appeal and magnetism was just to great to ignore, and he unleashed his true caveman side, and literally took Kaci as his woman and never let go! <3

Riding Through by Dani Wyatt – 5 Stars

I love Dani Wyatt’s books, but this little treat stole my heart! Even though it’s a shorter read, we get all the goodness and development of a full length novel, since it has all these wonderful elements that draw and enrapture us into the couples story!

Reed is, so far, and without a shadow of a doubt my favorite of Dani’s delicious heroes! Totally swoon-worthy (thought after thought of pure gold), alpha and with a priceless heart! Oh, Reed… <3
 

Ps. This ones I’ve read the ones I had acknowledge beforehand that are the completely safe ones of the bundle, but there’s plenty there for all tastes, and I’m sure equally as brilliant!!!!

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000026_00092]

YAY! Isaac and Eden’s Story!!! My wishes were heard, because after Brief me, Baby I could wait to read their story and here it is!

And so much more than I was waiting for, because Eden being an hacker, and that being how they met, I was so NOT expecting, from that glimpse it was given in that book. But this fact added so much to the character and was the very foundation of this delicious novella. Eden portrayed the over energized hacker to a T! And Isaac was her perfect contra balance! And with him, for the first time in her life, her restlessness slowed down, and her wild ways found a more grounded solution.

“I had Isaac, and the high I got from being with him was even better than I felt any time I wormed my way into a dirty corporation’s system.”

Of course that didn’t stop her from wanting to fight for justice, and when the disappointment over their failed attempts to get pregnant threatened to sink itself and take over, she decided to direct her attention to equally important matter, helping Isaac defend and prove the innocence of man accused of murdering the love of his life. Obviously the only person that was not happy with this arrangement was Isaac himself, because everything that could represent a risk for Eden’s life was a problem on itself. She truly was everything that matter to him…

“You’re the most important person in my world, and I’m not willing to risk your safety for anyone or anything. Understood?”

But even with all the fears, and risks, the true adventure beginning, and for such a short novella, it really satisfies the suspense and mystery craving, but always in with plenty of panty melting sex scenes and incredible chemistry. And Isaac, who at first seemed to be quite the straight laced ‘suit’, really revealed us his inner caveman and dirty talker, where Eden was concerned! And she was just as sassy! Loved that!

“Do I need to tie you to the bed?”
“If you want me to do as I’m told, maybe you should,”

It really was a great short and steamy read, with some incredible sweet moments that melted our hearts. Insta-love and married couple trope at it’s best! In For You, I Will, Fiona Davenport gives us all we are used to from them, and after this delicious treat I can’t wait to see what these ladies brings us next! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

“I need you.”

 “I’m yours for the taking, Eden. Always have been. And I always will be.”

Excerpt

The far off sound of voices floated into the room and Eden sprang up, shoving me away with surprising force. Once she was standing, she looked down at herself in horror, just then realizing I’d ruined her shirt and there was no way to fix it.

“Isaac! What the fuck? I can’t leave here like this. Not unless you want the world to get a nice look at my goods!”

I growled and yanked her body up against mine. “First of all, you’re going to get yourself a spanking if you don’t watch your mouth, and second”—I leaned down until my face was only centimeters from hers—“no one sees what’s mine.”

Her eyes narrowed as she glowered at me. “What exactly am I supposed to do? And put that thing away!” she snapped. My dick was clearly appreciative of the look and feel of her naked tits pressed against my chest. Despite the mind-blowing orgasm I’d just had, he was up and ready for another round.

The voices drew closer so I stepped back, tucked myself back in, and snatched up my suit coat. I held it open for her to slip her arms inside and it engulfed her. She looked so damn cute.

“That’s a good look on you, Eden.” Jax’s laughing voice came from the doorway and we both spun to face him. Eden’s face was bright red and she shrank down into the coat like a turtle trying to hide in its shell.

“I—um—spilled something on my shirt,” she stammered. Jax’s grin grew to epic proportions and I quickly pushed her behind me and scowled.

“What the fuck do you want, jackass?” I snarled.

“I just came to see if you wanted to grab some lunch,” he explained, leaning casually against the doorjamb. His eyes glittering with mischief, he gestured to something behind me. “Looks like you’ve already eaten.”

Eden shrieked, and I glanced back to see her scrambling to her discarded underwear. She snatched them up and shoved them in her pocket before turning blue death-rays on me.

I’d like to see him try and it will be a deadly mistake. What they don’t know is I would go to any lengths to protect her.

header-breaking-free
 

This story was so incredibly sweet, sexy, emotional and most of all enrapturing! LeAnn Ashers did a fantastic job in condensing all these elements in the most perfect of ways in this short little read.

Those of us that read Loving his Forever, knew that Dave and Evelyn’s reaction to one another would be give an epic love story of their own, but the result was so much more than we could have anticipated. It took as through an unforgettable journey, that showed us an immeasurably strong woman, Evelyn, that after all the hardships and nightmares that haunted her for years, found her HEA in the arms of a perfect alpha of man, Dave, that took that permanent weight of her shoulders, and brought a new light, safety and love into her life. He truly worshipped her in every way! Sigh…

Breaking Free brings us a older, more mature love, and not in any way less steamy! Their story was a true insta-love affair, and once they gave in to their attraction (which didn’t take long at all), they couldn’t be apart or keep their hand of each other. This more mature feel and absence of any pushing away, or fighting their feelings was also very refreshing, and made me devour the book even faster. And let me just tell you, that epilogue…Wow…Just wow… 

This really was the perfect complement novella for Protecting His Forever and Loving His Forever (all of them must reads, IMO), and I can wait to read more about the rest of the enticing secondary characters that Ms. Ashers gave us in these books! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Synopsis

Dolly Jennings has wanted one man since she was sixteen, but he’s kept her at arm’s reach. Time has passed and she’s all grown up now, with a body that he can’t ignore.

Brandon Knight has wanted Dolly for longer than he should have, but he thought she deserved someone better. No longer able to control his desires, he’s giving up on staying away, and claiming his woman.

When Brandon finally gives in, can he prove himself worthy of Dolly? Will Dolly throw sass and southern sayings all over the place?

Absolutely!

Warning: This short story is packed full of big hair, big attitude, and big curves. Dolly holds her own, but the hero always ends up on top. *slow wink* Grab your boots and cowboy hat… We’ve got a couple of cherries to pop!

Wow oh wow, what a PERFECT ending this amazing series!!!

I have to say this was the story I was most looking forward to and it was so worth the wait because it was extra-freakin’-ordinary!

Dolly was everything we’ve seen in the previous installment and more. Sassy, smart and with a heart the size of the world, she knows what she wants, she shows it and she fights for it! And what she wants most, or better yet, who, is Brandon. Brandon is not as indifferent as he fights to seems, exactly the opposite. Since the moment he first laid eyes on Dolly, when she was sixteen, he knew she was his. Sadly she was first, too young and second, he didn’t feel like he deserve such a shining person as his little lamb. But after so many years of fighting inner battles, and Dolly’s obvious interest, he reaches his limit, and beware of result! It’s an OTT alpha explosion at its best!!!

I honestly though that Dolly would steal the show, and be my favorite character, before I had started, but Brandon… Sigh… He revealed himself to be the most perfect hero!!! Every time he opened his mouth and showed the feelings he had been hiding for so long it was highlight worthy! Yes, they were that good! So every time me talk I was either melting in a puddle on the floor, or fanning myself, because, Lordy, for a virgin, he sure has a deliciously filthy mouth on him!

The epilogue was, of course, as perfect as it has been costume to Alexa Riley’s stories, and it gave us not only fulfilling view into Brandon and Dolly’s sugary-sweet future, but also the rest of the Jennings clan! Perfect ending to the Perfect series! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

YAY, R. Holmes second book is finally here!!!
Omg, I’ve been stalking the author since I’ve read Scorched, which I absolutely adored – if you haven’t read it yet, go get it now! – so when I got this treat on my e-reader I devoured it like a starving woman!
Off Season is the perfect feel-good, low angst, short and smutty read! I love how Caston transformed right before our eyes from a playboy player into a true loving family man, and fell in love with him, right along with Eryn. Eryn was absolutely amazing, a strong single mother, knows how to protect herself from the types of ‘player’, but after seeing that Caston is much more than he first appeared to be, she starts to let go of her hang ups and welcome him into their lives, because come on, who could resist seeing the way Caston treated her little boy?!
It was a beautiful and sexy romance story, in which the author proved yet again how amazingly she writes, creates and develops these characters that even in a short story, like this, we get deeply involved and our feelings reflect what they’re feeling. That is a proof of some gifted writing!
My only wish was that it would have been a bit longer, and with an epilogue that gave us a look further into their future! I’m greedy like that, because I wanted even more Caston and Eryn!!! <3 <3 <3 <3

Nothing has ever felt so good in my life. Nothing. Not a homerun. Not winning any championship. I’d give up baseball tomorrow if it meant I got to spend the next thirty years with this perfect angel.

Oh, Lordy…
This was some seriously kinky read!!! Super taboo (first time I read this trope in all my Smutty literary travels, lol) but handled without much drama, and executed perfectly. For some more sensitive readers the religious aspect may bother you, but this is fictional smut, so to me, personally, the priest situation didn’t bother me at all. Actually I think it’s something that can happen a lot these, the questioning of our vocation/call.
Ok, now we’re getting to seriously for this smutty, short and über kinky read!!! LOL
Repent is completely safe, and (SPOILER AHEAD) both MCs being virgin, so each other’s one and only, (SPOILER END), doesn’t get much safer than that. 😉
It’s a delicious naughty book, not for the faint of heart, so if you intent to read it – if you’re as Percy as I, I’m sure you will – be prepared for some scorching hot sexcapades, in the most forbidden of places, a huge amount of dirty talk (who knew a priest could have such a filthy mouth on him?!), and a beautiful HEA!

Synopsis

July can’t fathom why PD would want to be a cop in this day and age. Wasn’t it enough that he already had a dangerous job with the fire department? Now he has to add another, even more dangerous, job to the equation? With so many cruel people in the world who make a sport out of hurting cops just because of the badge they wear, she has to make him understand. But when he refuses to listen to her reasoning, she feels she has no other choice but to issue an ultimatum: her or the SWAT team.

Dean doesn’t like ultimatums. He’s furious with July for putting him in the awful position of having to choose between a dream and her.
July never believes for a second that he’d choose the SWAT team over her, but she is wrong.

A year later, they’re both still in love with each other, but neither one is willing to budge regardless of their feelings.

July’s feelings for Dean haven’t changed, in fact her love for him has only grown. But seeing him living his life seemingly unaffected by the loss of what they had breaks her heart over and over each time she sees him.

Dean has a good poker face, though. He’s just going through the motions of his life until finally, the smoldering embers of his feelings erupt into a full-on blaze of emotion, burning through everything but his love for July. When the smoke clears, Dean wants to know if they can reignite the fire of their love or is he destined to live his life in a constant state of controlled burn?

 Everyone who follows my reviews knows that first, I’m a huge Lani Lynn Vale fan, and second that Kilgore Fire is my favorite series from her, so it comes to no surprise that when this book landed on e-reader, I devoured it like a thirsty woman after going through a desert! 

Controlled Burn delivered all the great  elements that make Lani’s writing so addictive and I got deeply involved within PD and July’s story.

PD, whom we know from the previous books, and July have been one year apart after their six month relationship. It may seem that his job was the main reason for they break up, but that was just the very tip of the iceberg of problems that let to that downfall.  I’ll leave the unveil of those reasons because I don’t want to spoiler the ride within the tale, but in my opinion they were both at fault at the time of their break up, just one a bit more than the other, specially given the event on itself.

Their time apart didn’t erase their need for one another, yes, they did everything to pretend the other didn’t impact on their lives, but deep down they never truly let go. 

 Fuck, who was I kidding? It didn’t matter what I did. She was always there. In my dreams. In my waking moments.
 In my fuckin’ head twenty-four goddamn seven.

Although they were aware of their own feelings, there was also too many obstacles to overcome, and amongst them all the hurt they carried for they break up, and that resentment was one of the biggest, and it proved to be the hardest too.

“You said enough a year ago when you broke my heart.”
His eyes softened.
 “Maybe,” he said. “But you broke mine, too, when you didn’t even try to fight for me.”

And here enters one of the reasons to which made me enjoy this book less than the remaining of the series, the foundation of Dean’s character. Yes, I was highly anticipating his story, but there were quite a few things that made me dislike the character in this book, and one of those was his very reasoning for being apart from the h. I do prefer better a man that fights for his h, instead of wanting for her to fight for him, like he mentioned more than once. That kind of contradicted his self proclaimed (mostly during sex) dominant alpha vibe in my eyes. 

“You didn’t seem to have any problem letting go of me when you walked away. I wanted you to love me for me. All you needed to do was find a way to talk to me about your fears about my job so we could work through them together. Then we can go back to what we had! It’s what we both fucking want!”

 

I wanted her to fight for me. I wanted her to give me what she gave nobody else in the world. Her heart. Her trust. Her loyalty.
Things that she didn’t do. If I were being honest, things that I hadn’t earned from her either.

So, yeah, he came to realize his mistakes in that matter, but it still didn’t make me forget the attitude, and the big trigger for that was the OW constantly in the picture, Alexa (and his relationship with her). Kudos here to Lani for once again creating such belivable characters that really made me want do go in July’s place and bitch slap the hell of that one – and smack Dean upside the head while I was at it, LOL. All that and some other situations made Dean one of my least favorite of Lani’s heroes, but there were also moments where I really loved him and how he loved July, and it proved LLV’s extraordinary talent, because she created this complex character that created so many emotions in me while reading it. Dean really did do that and more because after and despite the dislike I was rooting for him to get July, and he did prove that this time he wouldn’t let go. For anything or anyone…

“I’ve been living as half a man since I called it quits,” I told her. “I miss you with every breath I take,” I said. “I’m tired of not living. Come back to me. We’ll make it work. I swear.”
“You’re going to break my heart, I can tell,” she countered, devastation clear in her voice.
 “And it’s mine to put back together,” I said gruffly. “If I break it, I’ll always fix it. Swear to Christ.”

While Dean created all these reactions from me, July was a steady love from the very beginning. Her love, compassion, strong mind and independence really did steal the show for me, and I couldn’t have loved her more! Lani always creates these fantastic heroines that take an equal role in their strength and sassiness to the heroes, which is rare in romance novels these days, and I love the author even more for that.

But not is drama and romance in this story, because we sure have, as per Lani Lynn Vale fashion, a lot of ROFL moments that had me literally doing that. This kind of sarcastic humor really can’t be beat.

“I’m not going to hell. If anyone’s going to hell, it’s you. You’re a heathen who doesn’t go to church,” he informed me.
I snorted.
“Right. ‘Church’ to you is a meeting with the boys from your club. Church to normal people means actually going into a house of God and worshipping him in a sanctuary, amongst other like-minded believers. You haven’t been to church in well over a decade, if not more,” I turned to Dean. 

 

“A pessimist carries a knife with him in case of an attack.”
 “And what would an optimist do?” he teased.
“They would carry a knife in case there was cake,”

These spontaneous moments breath some lightheartedness to the romantic suspense and add a completely new dimension to her books. 

At some points, like the OW drama and the book’s climax, specially the outcome, it really reminded me of the author’s Kevlar to my Vest, but maybe it was only in my head, LOL!

I did love the story in general, and specially the female main character as I mentioned above, and Lani keeps on delivering these amazingly developed stories and proving over and over again why she is one of my all time favorite authors.

And the secondary characters… Wow! They deserve a spot of their own, and the way they are introduced and give us a taste of that humor and interactions too, while simultaneous giving us a glimpse into their own characters, is absolutely perfect! They integrate in the story effortlessly in the tale while enticing us with their own, like Wolf, whom I seriously can’t wait to read about!

Lani, can’t December please come any sooner?! Pretty please?!

I felt like the sun had come out for the first time in a year, that’s how dramatic the change in me and my disposition truly was. Where there used to be only rain and cloudy skies, now there was nothing but blue during the day and the moon and stars at night.

 

“You need to hurry up and come back to me,” I whispered, dropping my forehead to July’s fingers. “Because I’m about to fucking lose it without you. I can’t breathe without you, baby. I won’t survive without you.”

Synopsis

Trace Jennings was the brother who most enjoyed his time alone. He never thought about spending the rest of his life with someone, until he found her on his ranch.

Addison Becket is on the run. She’s finally eighteen and able to break free of her father’s control, but taking off on a stormy night landed her in a stranger’s bed.
Trace is everything Addison dreamed of and more, and neither of them has the urge to let go.

Can love at first sight truly exist? And will it be enough to keep them together while others try to tear them apart?

Please. This is an Alexa Riley hero. She’s not going anywhere.

Warning: This short story is filthy good, with co-dependency at its peak! These two people are absolutely crazy, and it if wasn’t so sweet, it would be certifiable. Go ahead and suspend your reality while you float away with this cloud of ridiculous!

Well, this series keeps getting better and better! Yes, this one a bit different from Alexa Riley’s usual, in my opinion, but every bit as deliciously naughty as ever!

Trace and Addison were as obsessed and as co-dependent to one another as the author’s warning alerted us, but they made that so incredibly endearing in my eyes, that for me, they couldn’t have been the most perfect couple! They truly were made for each other and full on embraced that from the very first look and touch!

This book was one of the sweetest AR’s stories to date, but worry not because all the naughtiness, dirty-talking and scorchingly sexy scenes are still there for all us smut-goodness lovers pleasure!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
