Panty Snatcher (Bad Boys of the Road #2) ~ Chelsea Camaron

I don’t do call backs. 

I don’t do commitments.

I am Zane Collier, player, manwhore, and bachelor for life.

My friends made a bet. One, I refuse to lose.

Regardless of the history Sawyer and I share, I’ll remain the one hit wonder for life.

I am the panty snatcher.

So why can’t I get hers? 

***This is a small town, second chance, stand alone romance that is a fast paced short story. If insta-attraction, insta-lust, insta-love, and insta-ever after aren't your thing then this isn't the book for you. If it is then, prepare yourself to meet Zane, and wish this Panty Snatcher would snatch yours!!***

If your looking for something quick and sweet to read  in one sitting this is it!!

Zane was dubbed a manwhore but really deep down was just lost in my opinion ~

circumstances lead him to his Panty Snatching ways but as soon as opportunity struck he wasn't walking away so easily this time around.. 

Sawyer just wanted to grow up and while doing so see the world.. She needed to spread her wings in order to appreciate what has always been there - all along..

This was a cute coming of age, second chance at love read I thoroughly enjoyed.

Interested to see what Life & Love has in store for a few of the other characters..

Bad at Love ~ Karina Halle

She's bad at love, but he's even worse...

Marina is hot, blonde, and wickedly smart, but when it comes to men? She's hopeless. Between her quirks and her lack of filter, there isn't a man in Los Angeles that will stick around after the third date.

Her handsome, charming friend Lazarus has the opposite problem. Everyone wants to be the sexy Brit's girlfriend, but he gets bored and moves on quickly.

There's only one way to figure out why neither of them has cracked this love thing-- they'll date each other. On paper, it's the perfect experiment. But in reality, things between Marina and Laz get complicated quickly.

They might be bad at love, but they are even worse at being friends. 

                                        

This was such a cute and sexy contemporary romance

A friends to lovers theme where both characters knew they had relationship hang ups and managed to find a way to help the other out!!!

Both Laz and Marina were adorable!!

Marina was this quirky tooth achingly sweet Bee Loving gal... that couldn't get further than the 3rd date somehow managing to sabotage things for herself 

& Laz was this Broody, Poet - Musician - Writer... Sexy, Talented and was always faithful when in a relationship.. They just didn't last very long!

After so many failed relationships between the both of them something has to give and what are friends for?  The Chemistry just couldn't be contained any longer and these two were perfect for each other!!

Although they both had some issues to sort out through out the book it was a light fun read.. 

With tons of fun Honey Bee facts, Honey Bee jokes and laugh out load moments this read had me reading this book in one sitting!

Scandalous (Sinners of Saint, #3) ~ L.J. Shen

They call him The Mute for a reason.
Hard, cold and calculated, he rarely speaks.
When he does, it’s with disdain.
When he does, his words aren’t meant for me.
When he does, my stomach flips and my world tilts on its axis.
He is thirty-three.
I am eighteen.
He’s a single dad and my father’s business partner.
I’m just a kid to him and his enemy’s daughter.
He’s emotionally unavailable.
And I am…feeling. Feeling things I shouldn’t feel for him.
Trent Rexroth is going to break my heart. The writing isn’t just on the wall, it’s inked on my soul.
And yet, I can’t stay away.
A scandal is the last thing my family needs. But a scandal is what we’re going to give them.
And oh, what a beautiful chaos it will be.

Another Fantastic read by L.J. Shen

These HotHole bad boys are in a class of their own and each requires a warning

Trent was hard on the outside but with enough licks you get to the yummy sweet as sin inside

I thought it would all be about LUST and not LOVE but was sorely mistaken

The Seahorse reference was genius and brought that "Aww" aspect to the story

It tied in beautifully where Trent stood as a single parent and gave us a small glimpse into Luna's love for her father. I would have liked to have read more about their relationship but understood in some way Edie had to shine in this aspect.

You'd think the age difference the secrets and deception would give it that angsty vibe - it was anything but since these two held nothing back when it came to their attraction. It was Hot and Sexy till the very end.

Trent was everything I was expecting cocky, arrogant, confident and in control without having to utter a word. And Edie although young was strong and resilient. 

I don't want this series to end and I'm hoping we get more on Baine (mini-Vicious) or even a spin off with the HotHole spawns..

Please keep them coming!!

Drunk Dial ~ Penelope Ward

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Look up Landon Roderick, that boy from childhood whom I’d never been able to forget—even though he so easily forgot about me—and call him.

Then again, anything sounds like a good idea when you’ve had a little too much wine before bed, right? It was supposed to be just a quick, meaningless, prank call. Instead, I went off on him—unloading thirteen years of pent-up emotions.

I didn’t think he’d call me back.

I certainly could never have anticipated the weeks of sexually tense phone conversations that followed as I got to know the man he’d become.

Turned out, Landon had never really forgotten me, either. That special connection we had was still there. I opened up to him, but there were also things about me he didn’t know. And he had his own secrets.

Over the countless hours we talked on the phone, I wondered what would happen if we actually saw each other. One night, I did something impulsive again. Only this time, I went to the airport and booked a ticket to California. We were about to find out if one phone call could bring two lost souls together or if my drunk dial really was all just a big mistake.

A funny, sexy read that had a coming of age type of vibe.

It had a slow build up with pasts and secrets being revealed through steamy phone calls, sexy pictures and adorable notes!

"Tell me something Funny"

Landon is pleasantly surprised when a blast from the past decides to drunk dial him.

He was of course my favorite character.. Even through his own issues he managed to be the perfect guy.. That perfect guy that laid it all out there and sacrificed it all with out a second thought.. Where are these guys? How can I find one?

Rana had so many insecurities and hang ups.. she basically lived in the past and her guilt wouldn't let her move forward. but Thankfully... her one moment of  liquid courage was able to turn all of that around. and although vulnerable she eventually allowed Landon to slowly pull her out of this self imposed judgmental way of  viewing herself ..

"You're obsessed with the idea of me - the mystique. The reality is a mess"

Both Landon and Rana had things they both needed to overcome in order to accept each other and ultimately forgive themselves.. With time, determination, Love and a little humor they both managed to get a second chance at happiness and get the HEA they were meant to have.

"It's funny how the things that we once looked at as tragic are exactly what needed to happen, in retrospect."

The Iron Tiara ~ Beth Flynn

Anthony Bear and Christy Chapman are from two completely different worlds.

Anthony's the leader of a motorcycle gang that terrorizes Florida’s West Coast. As a child, he ran away from his family and the Cherokee Indian Reservation to enter a life of crime. As an adult, he leads a multifaceted life managing his two businesses—his legitimate landscaping venture, and his loan shark and underworld dealings. Driven by anger and betrayal, Anthony begins the hunt for Christy’s father, Van Chapman, after he runs out on a loan.

Christy’s privileged life is not as it seems. She has kept painful family secrets and hidden some of her own. She’s determined to find out the truth and expose Van, but her search delivers her right into Anthony Bear’s hands, adding kidnapping to his list of crimes.

Their worlds are as contrasting as the color of their skin. The only thing they seem to have in common is their mutual disdain for Van Chapman…and each other.

They couldn’t be more wrong.

This felt like an absolute tease to me with an awesome set up for more!!

Anthony Bear has made a name for himself by making smart moves and being ruthless. 

It was a bit unnerving reading about this total bad-ass having an obvious chip on his shoulders.  But it's crazy how one person can open your eyes to a world you never knew you needed or even wanted.

Reading about how Anthony and Christy met and how unsettled he was when he began realizing that what he was feeling and doing - contradicted the why's of it was beautiful..

I can't really go too much into Christy's role in all of this since it's basically the driving storyline.. But I can say she was strong, caring and the perfect partner for Anthony!

This wasn't an over the top gritty read in my opinion, it was nothing like Grizz and Kits story which we did get to see them again.. this wasn't about outlaws and Anthony's indiscretions..

This was a story about two damaged people who fell in love in the most unlikeliest way.. 

I wanted More.. 

While I got to know Anthony and Christy I was left with so many questions.. there were small conversations through out that were left hanging - events eluded to with no explanation or further mention.. There was Nisha and X as well as Lucy and Booker I need to know everything about them as well.

SOOOO I am very excited to see where Ms. Flynn will be taking us next!!

Playboy Pilot ~ Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Money or love? Which would you choose? 

You probably just answered the question in your head thinking it's an easy decision.

For me, it's not. Did I mention it's a lot of money? A hell of a lot.

I needed to go far away to think it through.

As I embarked on an impulsive trip, I hit a detour when I met sexy Carter in the airport lounge. We struck up a heated conversation.

Then, he left.

I thought I'd never see him again.

But fate had other plans.

Surprise! He was the pilot of my flight.

The bigger surprise was the adventure that followed after the plane landed.

Carter was dangerous and always on the move.

Even though our connection was magnetic, I knew it was only temporary.

He would give me tickets, and I would follow him around the world to exotic places.

A bevy of flight attendant exes and rumors about Carter's reputation were never far behind.

I didn't know what to believe.

But I was addicted. Nothing else mattered anymore. And I was going to get hurt. Because a part of me wanted to be the one to finally ground the playboy pilot.

At the very least, he was taking me on a thrilling ride.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

This was a fun, sexy second chances story!

The characters were developed and the secrets were unraveled pretty early on.

Carter was a player and had no issues with his lifestyle until a petite blonde perked up his thoughts on the future..

 Kendall in all honesty was the flighty one.. Even though she didn't come across that way at first.. She was quick to jump to conclusions and had really low self esteem when in my opinion. Luckily Carter put a stop to all of that and once that plane landed it was all good

Loved this quick, Laugh out Load addition

Midnight Soul (Fantasyland, #5) ~ Kristen Ashley

Against his will, Noctorno Hawthorne, an undercover vice cop, finds himself embroiled in magic, mayhem and parallel universes. Too late, he meets an amazing woman only to find she’s destined for his identical twin in another world. 

And things aren’t going real great there. 

Noc is recruited to help save that world. 

What he doesn’t know is his destined love resides there. 

Franka Drakkar wears a mask. A mask she never takes off to protect herself in a world of malice, intrigue and danger. 

When Franka meets Noc and he discovers her secrets, convinced she carries a midnight soul, having shielded herself from forming bonds with anyone, she struggles with accepting his tenderness and care. 

When Noc meets Franka, over wine and whiskey, her masks slips and Noc knows it’s her—only her—and he has to find a way to get her to come home with him. 

And then make her want to stay

Bittersweet!!!

This series has been nothing but amazing.. I jumped on the band wagon a bit late.. 

But in my opinion just in time.. It was when Game of Thrones had just started and let me tell you I immersed myself in this world and devoured every single page with some characters taking form in my head!!

I was so shocked to find out who Noctorno's match would be with that letter from Valentine at the end of Broken Dove.. But actually it was a pleasant shock.. I knew he would be just the one to tear down Franka's walls, melt the ice around her heart and shatter those illusions she's managed to fool everyone with.

This final installment was ridiculously sexy and sweet. with the much expected total Apha tendencies I crave.. If you're a fan of the Fantasyland series.. 

This one you won't want to miss!

Love conquers all!!!

I didn't want to see this series end with it's fantasy setting, Alpha~li~Cous men and Kickass Heroines.. The play with their world and ours..  The full story-line intertwining all the characters was just wonderful!! And LOVE those Epilogues!!

You just can't go wrong with a Kristen Ashley read! She will continue to be my go to.

I have never been disappointed.
