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!

The Debt ~ Karina Halle

Her life changed in an instant. 

And he's the only one who could have prevented it. 

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Pact and The Lie comes a new standalone contemporary romance about those McGregor men. 

Jessica Charles shouldn't have even been in London when the unthinkable happened. 

She should have been back at home in Edinburgh, perhaps hanging with her boyfriend, preparing the baby shower for her sister or doing yoga with her group of friends. She should have been going on in her normal, dependable life as always. 

But on that fateful day in August, when a mentally-ill ex-soldier opened fire in public, Jessica's world changed forever. 

Now single and crippled from the gunshot wounds, Jessica finds herself scared and alone, losing faith in herself and humanity with each agonizing moment that passes. 

That is until a stranger enters her life. A stranger who makes her live again. 

Keir McGregor has always been the strong, silent type. Throw in tall, dark, and handsome and you've got pretty much the perfect Scotsman. 

Except Keir is anything but perfect. He's got a past he's running away from and a guilty conscience he can't seem to shed. But the more time he spends with Jessica, the more he falls in love with her. 

And the more his secret threatens to tear them apart. 

He may have been a stranger to her. 

But she’s never been a stranger to him.

What an amazing story.. I FELT the connection between these two broken characters
right from the start..
This one blew it right out of the park!!

The opening to this story was gut wrenching and utterly raw..
we hear about it on the news so much more frequent now..
I for one always wondered about the survivors of these horrendous radical crimes ..
what of the family and friends of the offender.. how it all impacts everyone involved..
How could anyone deal with this not just physically but mentally!

Guilt is a very ugly thing - something that can consume you.. mix that with lies & secrets and you have a concoction you might never be able to run away from!!

I won't get into the story other than to stay I absolutely loved it..
It was so beautiful to see Jessica and Keir slowly fall in love but I was also on the edge of my seat waiting for all hell to break loose and the shit hit the fan!!

It was emotional, real, raw, sexy, inspiring and the feels just kept coming out of everywhere!!
It's a must read for Karina Halle fans she's out done herself again!!

Smut ~ Karina Halle

What happens when the kink between the pages leads to heat between the sheets?

All Blake Crawford wants is to pass his creative writing course, get his university degree and take over his dad’s ailing family business. What Amanda Newland wants is to graduate at the top of her class, as well as finally finish her novel and prove to her family that writing is a respectful career.

What Blake and Amanda don’t want is to be paired up with each other for their final project but that’s exactly what they both get when they’re forced to collaborate on a writing piece. Since Amanda thinks Blake is a pushy asshole (with a panty-melting smirk and British accent) and Blake thinks Amanda has a stick up her ass (though it’s brilliant ass), they fight tooth and nail until they discover they write well together. They also might find each other really attractive, but that’s neither here nor there.

When their writing project turns out to be a success, the two of them decide to start up a secret partnership together using a pen name, infiltrating the self-publishing market in the lucrative genre of erotica. Naturally, with so much heat and passion between the pages, it’s not long before their dirty words become a dirty reality. Sure, they still fight a lot but at least there’s make-up sex now.

But even as they start to fall hard for each other, will their burgeoning relationship survive if their scandalous secret is exposed or are happily-ever-afters just a work of fiction?

Loved Loved Loved!!!

Funny, Sexy, Quirky and Best of ALL Different...

The banter between these two was hilarious, they both had the other pegged! 

Blake was a this cocky, self absorbed A-hole and Amanda was a total Prude!!

Or so they thought..

The Fun & sexy times began when they are paired for a writing project..

Prepare for your cheeks to hurt from the permanent smile on your face.. Mine still are  while I'm writing this with a perma-grin  happens every time I think about this books..

Once the writing started, you could see the chemistry just start sizzling off the pages

and boy it was HOT!!!

Smut was a fantastic Sexy Romance Comedy I couldn't put down..

Blake was nothing like what I initially saw on the surface he won me over immediately 

and Amanda was the cutest and I thought pretty transparent just wanting to be accepted as she was..

I got the feel for the behind the scenes - an idea of what a writing duo might be like..

(Well this was one very (cough) Hot writing Duo )

With secondary characters I couldn't help but fall in Love with as well and 

I can't forget to mention Fluffy..
