This is the third Mill's brother book about Griffin. We hear about him at times in the first books in this series, and you hear that he is the "monogamist" so I was wondering if this was going to be the story of how he met his girlfriend, or if something tragic happened. 

In this story we meet Cosy (like tea cosy) who is working her way through college and the first time we meet her she is at her job, working at a Vegas adult toy store. Kind of ironic that the virgin heroine works at an adult toy store! In walk Griffin to purchase supplies for a bachelor party and his awkwardness at being there makes for an adorable meet-cute. 

Griffin Mills, in Vegas to look at a hotel for the Mills family business, didn't expect to find himself standing in the lube aisle talking to a gorgeous girl. As the story unfolds and their casual fling starts to have feelings attached we learn why he is no longer engaged as he was in the previous books in the series. 

Can he and Cosy work through his baggage and her uncertain future post college? Come on you know Helena gave you an HEA! Plus if I'm recommending it there is a high HIGH chance that it is an HEA or I would be typing this with tissues and warning you. 

I give this book 3.5 gold stars. I can't say Griffin is my fav of the brothers. I think Bane and his adorable ferret Franchesca holds that honor, but it was another great story in this series. Just because there are only three brothers doesn't mean there are not any more books. Lincoln, their cousin, who is referenced in the first two books and makes an appearance here is getting his story added in to the mix!
​Happy reading- keep things a little on the naughty side!

Heather G. is a sassy SEO ninja who's engaged to the man of her dreams. When she's not busy planning her wedding (in a library, of course), conquering the Google game, or spending time with her nephews, she can usually be found reading. A lot.

Written by L.J. Shen

Warning** this book will give you massive book hangover!! If you have not ventured into the world of LJ Shen - I highly recommend you fall in to her creation. These are marked as stanalone books, but I think you will love this story even more if you have read the series. 
This is the story of Knight Cole, son of Dean and Rosie from the book Ruckus, and Luna Rexroth, daughter of Trent and Edie from the book Scandalous in the Sinner of Saint Series. These two have spent their whole life revolving around one another. 

He is the popular bad boy, with the good looks, football quarterback fame, and the self appointed protector of Luna. 

Luna, doesn't speak, but sees more than people give her credit for. She can speak, but life has left her unable to find her voice. 

How can two people who have lived their love story from the beginning move their relationship to the next level? How can two people who have depended on each other find their own way to stand alone?

This is more than a friends to lovers story, this is the story of loss, fated love, and the unbelievable way that only love can heal your heart. TRUST me when I say you will need tissues with this book, but you do get an HEA. 

Again, I highly recommend you read the Sinner of Saints, and all Saints High series. I can not recommend it enough. Top 5 books of this year!

If you have been following my book rec posts you read my review of Claimed and Everything for Her by Alexa Riley. I started this series a little out of order and read the third book first, and then the first book in this series. While you don't have to read them in order, I would recommend that you do read them in order. I wasn't lost but I think it would have been just as enjoyable reading them in order. 

This second book is Paige and Ryan or “Captain America” as Paige and Mallory have nicknamed him. 

Paige has worked towards one goal in life - revenge. She protected Mallory in exchange for working with Miles, her half brother, to get the revenge she needs on her father. But now that Miles has his Mallory he’s set aside his plans for revenge and is living his life. 

Ryan Justice has watched over Paige far longer than she knows. One look and his heart knew she was his alone. Now can he convince her to take down her walls and let him in? Will she accept him when she learns his past isn’t “captain” perfect and he hasn’t told her all of his secrets? 

You know you get an Alexa Riley HEA with over the top love in this 4 star book rec from me!

I have been on a huge paperback kick recently. This book was very briefly on sale for a ridiculous price for the paperback, and I HAD to get it. 

This is the story of Fern and Ambrose. 

Fern has an ugly duckling start to the book. Braces, untamable red hair, unrequited love of Ambrose.

Ambrose is a 3 time state wrestling champ, beautiful long flowing hair, and the pressure of a whole town to win his 4th wresting title. 

Senior year in 2001 for them was drastically changed by the events of 9/11 and Ambrose sets off with his friends to serve their country instead of the taking the path to college and the wresting mats.

Returning broken and scarred Ambrose is hiding, but Fern has always been able to see him and while she thinks she’s invisible he sees her. 

“And so we endure. We have faith that there is purpose. We hope for things we can’t see. We believe there are lessons in loss, power in love, and that we have within us the potential for a beauty so magnificent that our bodies can’t contain it.”

This is not the typical hot and heavy books I usually recommend. There is love, loss, and life in this book. Read with tissues, but there is an HEA for Fern and Ambrose. This also hit close to the heart for me as I was also a senior in high school in 2001 and I remembered exactly how they were feeling as though life was taking a turn.

I love the cadence and rhythm that Helena writes to. I enjoy that her books bring you laugh out loud moments to break up the drama that characters face before they make it to their Happily Ever Afters.

This is the second in this series about the Mills brothers, and you should read the first Shacking Up before you get to this delicious morsel of a book.

We met Amie, best friend to Ruby, in Shacking Up. Her wedding day to Armstrong ended in an annulment, embarrassment, and her going on her honeymoon with a broken heart and alone.

Lexington, Brother to Bancroft from book one, saw Amie first but his cousin Armstrong made a quick move to cut him off and ended up with the girl. Except she’s on her honeymoon alone and looking to get in some fun trouble. He didn't plan to be on the same plane as Amie as she makes her way on her solo honeymoon. Fate put them together and Lex is all too happy to follow the path.

What happens on the island stays on the island, right?

Until real life and the mess is still waiting for Amie when she returns to NYC. She still has to fight Armstrong to sign the annulment papers, and she still has to find a new job since she worked for his company. Can Amie trust her broken heart and emotions again? Is Lex just in a competition with his cousin?

You know it’s a 4 star Helena HEA! Add it to the list and catch up because we’re about to meet Griffin, the final Mills brother in the next installment!

This was another book that I picked up when I was on vacation and UNSUPERVISED in the book store. Honestly the pile that I was going to buy was a lot larger than the pile that I did buy. However, my fiance and I have an agreement. I can have as many books as I want to spend my money on, but I am limited to three shoe purchases a year since they take up his side of the closet. We are already working on the married life compromises HA.

Jay loves her job, and she’s damn good at it. No one gets to the boss unless they go through her. However, that position of power doesn’t leave her making many friends at work. Don’t even get her started on her family. So when she starts having lunch with Jordan, she is happy to finally have someone to talk to about her day. He listens to her ramble on and never food shames her lunch choices.

Jordan knew he was claimed the moment he saw Jay. Gone. Gave his heart away. Instant love he would risk his life to protect. Now if only he can escape the friend zone!

This book had swoon worthy moments.
​
“You’re not the kind of woman that gets one night. You’re worth a lifetime.” The story was filled with the instant over-the-top love Alexa Riley is known for with just a hint of danger and drama this time.

I give it 4 stars and want to find the rest in the series. ( It shares characters in the For Her series, but I wasn’t lost in the story not having read the first books. It can be a stand alone.)

There are some books that you just come back to. This is one that was a re-read for me. Helena is releasing the third book in this series about the three Mills brothers, and while I was waiting for the next book to come out this week, I did a weekend catch up on the series. I have ZERO regrets spending my weekend in the world of Helena Hunting.

Ruby is determined to make her dreams come true. Her father may be wealthy, but she’s living on Ramen noodles and the dream of Broadway, or off-Broadway, or even off-off-Broadway.

When a mysterious man kisses her, sneezes on her, and apologizes for mistaking her for someone else - things start to take a very bad turn. Literally a vomit inducing turn on stage at her audition.

Bancroft is back in the family business and heading to Europe to oversee projects for five weeks. He needs someone he trusts to care for the two girls he loves the most while he’s gone - Francesca and Tiny - his ferret and tarantula. He can't trust just anyone to watch an illegal ferret who loves mischief an getting into trouble.

Ruby needs a place to stay, Bane needs a house and pet sitter... phone calls turn flirty, and you can guess where the story goes from there.

If you’ve read Helena before you know she’s going to give you the funny, sweet, and dirty moments in a story that will take you into the world of her character and leave you wanting to stay.

I give this book twice the 4 stars as it just gets better every time.

Written by Dawn Ryder

This book was a total impulse buy as I wandered the rows of books at the store on my vacation. I wanted to buy one “new to me” author. I settled on this Dawn Ryder book.

Celeste is a survivor of domestic abuse and with her new martial arts training, her house locked with bars and security alarms, and her ex-husband still in jail, she’s ready to vacation in Alaska for her best friend's wedding. Of course she didn’t expect to be attracted to the best man! She thought her heart was locked down just like her house.

Nartan is rich in business and has a wealth of success. However, he knows love and people are what make you a wealthy man. His attraction to Celeste is not something he saw coming. Now if only he could get her to stop running.

Back home, she finds Nartan persistent that they should take a chance on their connection. However, when her ex is released from prison, they will have to fight to keep her past from destroying that connection.

I give this book 3 stars. It’s a little naughty, a little suspense, and an overall good story.

I was feeling restless and not sure what I wanted to read next. I had started and stopped three other books a few pages in. I couldn’t find what I was looking for until I picked this book up wondering around the bookstore on my vacation.

Fix Her Up is the story of Georgette, the little sister, the town clown (literally she is a kids party clown.) No one takes her seriously and treats her like an adult. She needs a way to prove to her family she is grown. Maybe her plan to date her brother's best friend would accomplish that and help him out too. Win-win for everyone, right? She can ignore the fact she’s crushed on him since puberty!

Travis Ford, injured ex-baseball star, former major league playboy, is wallowing back in his home town. He feels like a failure and this just proves his dad was right about him not being good enough. Why is his best friend's little sister throwing questionable leftover Chinese food at his head telling him to get up and out of the house? Why does he find himself listening to her crazy plan to “fake” a relationship to show the network offering him a sports casting job that he isn’t a playboy any longer?

Through their friendship, crazy clown shenanigans, and the HOTTEST session of dry humping I’ve ever read in any book at any time - feelings start to change and maybe this temporary agreement doesn’t have to end on its expiration date.

I give this 5 gold stars and this book is going on the list of tales I want to re-read over again!
