THE ROMANCE THAT ADDICTED US!!! P.S. Here’s my 5-STAR book review.

“…He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I’d never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily… 

Gideon knew. He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other’s most private worlds…and desires. The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn’t tear us apart...”

Shannon: I absolutely LOVE Gideon Cross! He’s my go to guy! 

Amaya: My favorite moody character is Gideon Cross from the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day.

Cinthia: GIDEON CROSS FOREVER!!!! HE´S MINE 

HE’S NOT WILLING TO LET HER GO

“…Young interior designer Ava O’Shea has no idea what awaits her at the Manor. A run-of-the-mill consultation with a stodgy country gent seems likely, but what Ava finds instead is Jesse Ward–a devastatingly handsome, utterly confident, pleasure-seeking playboy who knows no boundaries…”

Angie: This man 💯%. Such a good book!

Dana: This Man by Jody Ellen Malpas. Jesse Ward was “The Manor” and obsessively goes after Ava. She’s an interior designer and her best friend/roommate is a cake maker with a really beat up van.

Lisa M: This Man series I can’t even tell you how many times I have re-read this series!!!

Leslie M: I loved This Man series. Gah! Jesse Ward & his craziness. That series had the best epilogue.

ACTOR ROMANCE

“…Colin Riley’s past wasn’t a pretty one. He’d worked hard to bury his demons. So when he crossed paths with Alexandra Vaughn, the daughter of the man that almost destroyed his life, he should have run. But he didn’t. Instead, like an idiot, he fell in love.

Alex was smart, talented, beautiful, and one of the most infuriating women Colin had ever met. From the second he laid eyes on her, he knew he’d do anything to make her his. Why else would he let her trick him into starring in some play? It was just supposed to be a way to get close to her. How could he have known saying yes to the role would change their lives forever?…”

SHE NEEDS THE MONEY

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The first book in the sexy, emotionally charged Stark trilogy—a romance between a powerful man who’s never heard “no” and a fiery woman who says “yes” on her own terms

Wealthy, powerful, and exceedingly dangerous, Damien Stark wants to own me. . . . Or at least my likeness. He’s offered me one million dollars to pose for a nude portrait that will become the diamond of his private art collection.

And I need the money. Bad. But it soon becomes obvious that this deal is too good to be true, and that Mr. Stark wants much more from me than I ever planned on giving...”

Tessa: I loved Release Me. That was the BDSM series I think I liked the most second only to RK Lilley’s Up In the Air. The emotion is just there, and it makes sense. They were utterly romantic.

Kat: trilogy starting with Release Me by J Kenner is hot!! (aka JK Beck). It’s fresh because Nikki is the more damaged one but still in the tradition of our alpha faves…

HER BROTHER CONNED HIS SISTER…

“…To overcome her sensitive nature, successful entertainment journalist Ren Hayden locks away her emotions along with the scattered pieces of her tragic childhood. The only person she trusts, but probably shouldn’t, is a criminal—her brother, Seth.

When Seth dies unexpectedly, he sets off a chain reaction causing Ren’s coping mechanisms to falter. Unable to make sense of messages she receives from beyond the grave, she can’t stop herself from finding comfort in the arms of Galen Zabriese—the brother of the woman Seth ruthlessly conned…”

TWO OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS!!! SHE THOUGHT HER BOSS HATED HER…

“…How to screw up a great summer in the Hamptons: Fall for the one guy with a dark leather jacket, scruff on his face, and intense eyes that doesn’t fit in with the rest of the tony looking crowd. A guy you can’t have when you’ll be leaving at the end of the season. Check. Check. Check.

I should add—especially when the guy is your sexy, tattooed God of a boss. Especially when he not only owns your place of employment but inherited half of the town. Especially when he’s mean to you.Or so I thought.

Until one night when he demanded I get in his car so he could drive me home because he didn’t want me walking in the dark.That was sort of how it all started with Rush…”

Jean: Have you guys seen the new cover for the Vi Keeland/Penelope Ward book……Rebel Heir? IT IS SO FREAKING HOT!!!!!

Marion: Loved this book…these two should never stop writing together. I can’t wait for the second one, I’m on the edge of my seat!

Lorraine: I loved this book! Okay i actually bought it for the cover but i did love the book 😉

Cyn: I’m reading this book for the second time right now! Great book and amazing authors!

SHE’S BULLIED…

“…Dimah Emerson endures something no one else ever should but sadly many do. After this life-altering experience, Dimah loses herself.  She’s forced— by her silence and fear— to remain in a place where no one knows what she’s been through. 

She’s constantly put down by bullies. 

It isn’t until someone shows up in her life that she realizes she has to stand up for herself and reclaim her life...”

BILLIONAIRE BDSM ROMANCE!!

“…When literature student Anastasia Steele goes to interview young entrepreneur Christian Grey, she encounters a man who is beautiful, brilliant, and intimidating. The unworldly, innocent Ana is startled to realize she wants this man and, despite his enigmatic reserve, finds she is desperate to get close to him.

Unable to resist Ana’s quiet beauty, wit, and independent spirit, Grey admits he wants her, too—but on his own terms...”

Kendra: OMG… thank you sooooo much for introducting me to the fifty shades of FANTASTIC that is Mr. Christian Grey!!! I just finished the first two books this weekend (couldn’t put them down!!!!) and I feel like Ana’s goddess doing backflips that I have one more to read! I’m sure that I’ll feel the sadness when it’s done (I hate that about good books… they end!). I can’t wait to pick this one up, but I sooooo need to get some work done now that I blew a whole weekend in Grey bliss. I really love this “support group”… so needed… might need a Dr. Flynn after all is said and done? LOL

Bia: MARYSE…OMG!!! I can’t put this book down..so far my fave quote ”Oh my. Christian Grey’s lost look.” (like you say…squeeeeeeeeeee!!!!) He’s so Hot…

P.S. Here are my reviews:

ROCK STAR ROMANCE & HE’S HER STEP-BROTHER!!!

‘From #1 Amazon Bestselling Author Ilsa Madden-Mills comes an all-new romance about a flawed rock star and the girl he isn’t allowed to love.

…He called himself Spider. I knew him as the sinfully gorgeous guy with eyes of fire that fate sat next to me on the airplane. I didn’t know who he really was…British rock star…my stepbrother.

He kissed me because he thought we’d never see each other again. We would. Everyone warned me about him…“

INFURIATING OFFICE ROMANCE & SO MANY LOVE THIS ONE!!

“...Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He’s exacting, blunt, inconsiderate–and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard.

Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family’s massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who’d been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative–completely infuriating–creature he now has to see every day…”

Kooloo: I am a huge Christina Lauren FANGIRL! I have read and Audibled (ha new one for the Urban Dictionary folks and you heard it hear – lol) BEAUTIFUL BASTARD like a million times.

Lisa: …for me the first book…Beautiful Bastard had me belly laughing out loud with Chloé’s antics. She is a total ball buster and I adored her.

Tessa: Beautiful Bastard was good. Very alpha romantic. Consequences… Mind messery for sure. I kept reading it, asking myself, why am I reading this? I swear, it was great, and horrible at the same time (definitely dark). …but it was one of those books that was good enough to stay with you.

M.Pierce: Best romance I read this year was Beautiful Bastard. I was surprised by that book. Even though it was fast-paced and full of sex, it wasn’t totally superficial. Somehow, I believed in the connection between the main characters. (I also had no idea it started as Twilight fanfic until after I read — kind of interesting.) 

MEGA ALPHA-MALE ALERT!

“The second part in The Blackstone Affair series! Looming danger. A love worth fighting for. A man who’ll go all in.

Ethan Blackstone has a problem on his hands. He’s broken Brynne’s trust and she’s left him. He’s unwilling to live without her and isn’t giving up—he’s dead-set on getting his beautiful American girl back.

The passion between them was explosive, but the secrets they hid from each other are dark and chilling and are powerful enough to destroy their shot at a life together...”

Jean: …you haven’t read the Blackstone series?!? Hot, hot, hot! The author based Ethan Blackstone on David Gandy. Google “David gandy milk” (trust me!) I love milk! Haha! 

ANGSTY LOVE TRIANGLE! WE WENT CRAZY FOR THIS ONE & here’s my Book Review – Collide by Gail McHugh – 4.5 stars

From New York Times bestselling author Gail McHugh comes the first of two sexy contemporary romances about a young woman torn between her seemingly perfect boyfriend and a dark, mysterious stranger—who will stop at nothing to have her.

On the heels of her college graduation and the unexpected death of her mother, Emily Cooper moves to New York City to join her boyfriend for a fresh start. Dillon Parker has been sweet, thoughtful, and generous through Emily’s loss, and she can’t imagine her life without him—even as her inner voice tells her to go slow.

Then she meets Gavin Blake. A rich and notorious playboy, Gavin is dangerously sexy and charming as hell. Their first encounter is brief, but it’s enough to inflame Emily’s senses.

Jackie: Gavin Blake from Collide/Pulse. I’ve read those books a few times because I love Gail McHugh’s writing and I needed a Gavin fix.

Jean: …the one with the soda tabs…..Collide by Gail McHugh??? I freaking loved that book!!!

Shane: OMG guys, Collide is so good. I love Gavin and that Emily, she is something else… Those bottle caps tho…

MEGA LOVE TRIANGLE!!!!! She’s falling for her boyfriend’s best friend/roommate… P.S. I 5-STAR LOVED it!!! Here’s my review.

For almost two years now, Kiera’s boyfriend, Denny, has been everything she’s ever wanted: loving, tender, and endlessly devoted to her. When they head off to a new city to start their lives together—Denny at his dream job and Kiera at a top-notch university—everything seems perfect.

Then an unforeseen obligation forces the happy couple apart. Feeling lonely, confused, and in need of comfort, Kiera turns to an unexpected source—a local rock star named Kellan Kyle. At first, he’s purely a friend she can lean on, but as her loneliness grows, so does their relationship.

And then one night everything changes…and none of them will ever be the same.

Patricia: Dear sweet Jesus……………….where do y’all find theese books? Do you know where I had to read this book????? Hiding in the laundry room (so they couldn’t find me) like some love stricken teenager hiding from her parents……..yes…..I know and let me tell you what it was………….ugh….amazing blew my socks off now I feel like I cheated on Travis…….shhhhhhh

Shreya: Ugghh….can’t sleep after finishing this book…… 🙁 🙁 It was soooooo touching!!!& i would say Kellan’s character has so much more depth than “Travis”…..Beautiful Disaster basically had a feel-good vibe…but Thoughtless is gut-wrenching……it’s an emotional roller-coaster….thank you so much for the suggestion Maryse….. 🙂

Anabel: I loved Thoughtless like no other book. I fell in love with Kellan. It was gut wrenching and I couldn’t put it down. Read Effortless as well. Now what???? I need more.

NEITHER WANTED A RELATIONSHIP…
