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!

Happy reading- keep things a little on the naughty side!

Written by Alexa Riley

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 Tessa Bailey

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!

Erika Wilde

I will admit that I am a total sucker for a "Beauty and the Beast" type of story retelling. Sexy Fairy Tales - sign me up! I don't know what it is about the Beauty and the Beast story line (other than the huge library.. hello!) but it just gets me to click the book.

I was so engrossed in this book I got none of my "to-do" plans accomplished and took a total relaxing with a book day. Sometimes you just have to have a day like that, and today was that day for me. This book pulled me into the story and I was more than happy to stay in it...I blame Maddux!

Maddux Wilder has worked hard his whole life to be able to afford and have the power to execute his revenge on the man who killed his parents. Tonight at the Wilder Charity Ball, his plan will finally be executed. Except he didn't count on Arabella Cole offering herself up in service for her fathers debts.

Arabella had no idea that her father was in so much financial trouble until she eavesdropped outside the door at the ball. Her father is all the family she has left so sacrificing herself is done without a second thought.

The story gets that slow delicious sexual tension as they both struggle with their attraction and the chasm of issues that separate them. "...her mind acknowledged what her heart refused to accept...that not all fairy tales ended happily ever after."

I give this 5 gold stars! This was my first Erika Wilde book, but it will not be my last. Bring on more sexy dirty fairy tales.

Written by Lauren Blakely

This is not the first Lauren Blakely book that I have read, and it will not be the last! I love the worlds that she creates and the laugh out loud moments that she gives her readers.

This is the story of Arden, who we meet as she is getting dumped by her boyfriend for being too "nice?!" WTF how can a person be too nice? Insert a meet-cute moment where Arden is loosing her cool after her ex walks off leaving her with a romantic picnic, and we meet Gabe.

Gabe is a sexy fireman who has been labeled a womanizer. He gets Arden through her messy picnic disaster and a year later we find he is still FIRMLY in the friend zone. Like he is in concrete and not going anywhere - stuck in the friend zone.

Arden decides that she wants to get rid of the "nice" label and try to find what "naughty" labels she is into. Does she like her hair pulled? What if she wants to answer the door in nothing but a sexy apron - is that so wrong? Why are the older women in the book club talking about all of their exploits in the bedroom, and she has nothing to contribute? She needs a safe way to find out what she likes, and who better to ask than her best friend who can also give her a guy's opinion! She asks Gabe to be her stage acting partner for one week of testing things out, all with their clothes on of course, so as not to ruin their friendship.

Gabe sees this as his opportunity to break out of the friend zone, and finally tell Arden he wants more. Now if only they could both be on the same page of this plan!

This book is funny, sexy, and there are firemen! I give it 4 stars for being a great friends-to-lovers story.

Written by Amy Daws
Narrated by Erin Mallon and Teddy Hamilton

This story will "reel" you in. You'll be "hooked." Amy Daws had "baited" us with another venture into the world of Tire Depot. (Read the book and you'll get the fishing jokes!) 


This is the second book to this series. Trust me when I say you'll want to read the first  in the series "Wait with Me." Read my review of that book here. You'll meet Sam, our hero for this story, and you briefly meet Maggie when Miles calls his little sister. 

That's right, Sam is about to meet his best friend's little sister. Although he doesn't know it is her when he runs into her in a bait and tackle shop. Too bad he already mentioned his ice fishing goddess to Miles, when she shows up to his birthday party with her brother. 

But Maggie, she has a plan and it includes winning back her ex. A little no-strings fun along with way with Sam, who is a no-strings kind of guy, sounds like it could lead to some interesting adventures. 

I give this book 5 stars our of 5. Read this series. You wont regret it. *dreamy sigh*

I woke up on June 25th to realize it was 1/2 Christmas. 6 months to go! Yup, I am one of "those" people. I love Christmas and my tree goes up ridiculously early, and I sing carols all year long.


So in honor of 1/2 Christmas, I put aside my current reads in progress and asked Santa to drop off this Alexa Riley book to my Kindle.


Claudia is fighting for a better life. One where she isn't always doing favors for her brother that she isn't sure are entirely legal ones.


Brian dropped off a building proposal in the middle of an empty lot to Claudia, but it was love at first sight for him and he finds a way to see her again.

"I want you because the second I saw you my soul crawled out of its dark hiding place..."


This book is short, sweet, and just what I needed for the day. With an HEA that included words of love spelled out in Christmas lights as the snow falls on the tree lined path.

Written by Katy Evans

This was not my first venture into the world Katy Evans creates with her writing. I have so much respect and awe for writers to create worlds and take us on these amazing journeys. To be able to suspend my own reality to jump into theirs. So it’s difficult when I get to a book that I just don’t connect with. 

Tycoon was a book like that for me. I didn’t connect with their story, and I was lost a little in the beginning. It felt almost like I was jumping into the middle of Aaric and Bryn’s story. There were flashbacks eventually, but for some reason, I just couldn’t find my path along with them. 

Aaric took himself from an orphaned lost boy who needed to prove he deserved the girl he loved, to a Manhattan tycoon. When Bryn comes back into his life and is looking for an investment in her startup, he vets her opportunity himself. 

Their past teenage friendship grows and changes into what he’s always wanted and what she always wondered “what if.” 

“I give in and for a moment, I just want it all. I want all of this man. I want to know what he wants, what he dreams, what makes him up, I want to dissect him and let him dissect me and then I want to put each other together with the wrong pieces, so one piece of him ends up in me, and some of mine end up in him.”

I give this book 2.2 stars out of 5. Again, reading is as much about the journey the reader takes as much as it is about the characters. If you’ve read Katy’s books before, give it a try. If you haven’t read her before, maybe start with one of her other series first.

Happy reading - keep things a little on the naughty side!

This book is labeled as "a sexy, enemies to lovers romantic comedy" and I was in the mood for something funny and naughty. 

The story features Rebecca Fieldstone, who is working her way up at her local new station and is in line for a news anchor position. Things start to go wildly amiss along the way. Tiny beauty pageant princesses, monkeys who do naughty things on camera, and a coworker who is out to take the open position from her. 

Cade Hill, former NFL quarterback, turned sports anchor, finds himself attracted to her snarky comebacks and curves. I wouldn't say this is really an enemy to lovers story as much as it is two co-workers who struggle with crossing that boundary. 

The secondary characters add some spice to this book with Cade's brother Trent, and Rebeccas drag queen fortune telling roommate Chas lending some humor along the way. 

For me, this book was cute and a little on the fluff side of having substance, and while I enjoyed the book, it was not laugh-out-loud comedy that I've read in other books. 

But! if you are in the mood for a fluffy, cute story, that will make you smile, then this is a great book to read. Sometimes that is exactly the type of fictional world I want to be in when escaping into a book. 

I would give this book 3 stars.
