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!

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."

Filthy English (English, #2) ~ Ilsa Madden-Mills

A smokin’ hot British player…

A jilted girl…

One night of mistaken identity…

Two weeks before her wedding, Remi Montague’s fiancé drops her faster than a drunken sorority girlclear in stilettos. Armed with her best friend and a bottle of tequila, she hops a plane to London to drown her sorrows before fall semester begins at Whitman University.

She didn't plan on attending a masquerade party.

She sure didn’t plan on waking up next to the British bad boy who broke her heart three years ago—the devastatingly handsome and naked Dax Blay. Furthermore, she has no clue how they acquired matching tattoos.

Once back at Whitman together, they endeavor to pretend they never had their night of unbridled passion in London. 

But that’s damn hard to do when you live in the same house…

One night. Two damaged hearts. The passion of a lifetime.

So yea this was my first Ilsa Madden- Mills read..

And it was Fantastic!!

It was Hot, Intense and had Dax which was pure deliciousness..

now I needs to get with the program and read ALL of Ilsa's books...

Especially if their anything like this one.

We get a Bad boy Alpha, we get Angst and we get to ride that emotional roller coaster!

I've hit the jack pot agan with this one..

Dax was the perfect mix of Assholish ~ loveable sex on a stick type of Male!!!

Remi was vulnerable obviously given the circumstances but she still let her self be consumed by the attraction that drew these two together previously..

A wonderful story full of  the good drama..

The page turning drama..

Chemistry galore and the filthiest, wittiest banter EVER!!

I want my very own DAX!!!!

So I can slap him silly, ride him then call him "Daddy" hahaha

The Game Plan (Game On, #3) ~ Kristen Callihan

A beard-related dare and one hot-as-hell kiss changes everything.

NFL center Ethan Dexter’s focus has always been on playing football and little else. Except when it comes to one particular woman. The lovely Fiona Mackenzie might not care about his fame, but she’s also never looked at him as anything more than one of her brother-in-law’s best friend. That ends now. 

Fi doesn’t know what to make of Dex. The bearded, tattooed, mountain of man-muscle looks more like a biker than a football player. Rumor has it he’s a virgin, but she finds that hard to believe. Because from the moment he decides to turn his quiet intensity on her she’s left weak at the knees and aching to see his famous control fully unleashed. 

Dex is looking for a forever girl, but they live vastly different lives in separate cities. Fi ought to guard her heart and walk away. But Dex has upped his game and is using all his considerable charm to convince Fi he's her forever man.

Game On

Oh BOY!!! I Loved Dex.. I wanted to crawl into this story and take over Fi..
Yes.. I'm talking about some (fictional) body snatching type stuff! here!

Dex, Dex, Dex oh where art thou??
Hot, Sexy as all Hell, a Dirty talker to boot.. but ohhh so vulnerable GAHHHH!!!
(bites fist) I want to be his forever girl... sigh...

But alas Fi was indeed absolutely perfect for him and he knew this and he waited..
What a GUY!! But once Dex blasted his charm there was no escape, there was no holds bar as son as Dex decided he'd waited long enough..

READ THIS it had it all sexy times, funny moments, fun glimpses of what the gang has been up to, a tad of angst and a fantastic HEA!!

Game On Series 

Sinner's Steel (Sinner's Tribe Motorcycle Club, #3) ~ Sarah Castille

HE'S HELL ON WHEELS.

Tall, dark, and dangerously handsome, Zane "Tracker" Colter is the strong, silent type of tattooed muscle biker who drives women wild. But as a master of strategy for the outlaw MC club, Sinner's Tribe, he doesn't have time to play around with groupies and biker chicks-especially when he can't stop thinking about Evie, the girl who got away...

SHE'S PLAYING WITH FIRE.

Evie's been in love with Zane ever since they were children-until he broke her heart and disappeared. Now he's back in her life, bigger and badder than ever. Zane is stunned by how beautiful and confident Evie's become, using her artistic talent to customize motorcycles. He wants her so bad, he'd ride through fire to win her back. There's one problem: Evie is dating his deadliest rival-the leader of the Black Jacks-and if Evie and Zane hook up, there'll be hell to pay...

This series keeps getting better and better.. 

Brooding & Lethal Yumminess

Zane was just a shell of a man and what was left of him was 100% vested  with his MC..

He never recovered from events that took place when he was just a teen and basically has been running away from his past ever since.. He fortified his walls with his personal experiences of resentment, distrust and abandonment!

Evie was this confident, badass chick that was able to hold her own in the prominently male Motorcycle Customization world!! She was good at what she did and she knew it. She'd been able to pick up the pieces from what was left of her shattered past and move on. But one thing she was never able to leave behind, for so many reasons was her love for Zane..

I absolutely love reading about second chances and new stronger beginnings.. 

Zane and Evies' story was one of More Than Meets the Eye..bad timing, too many obstacles in the way, of misunderstandings and not trusting or fighting for what you hold true!! 

Not only does this series give you the story line of the main characters with the smexy times and their history but there is also some serious action going on in the background with the suspense, the MC wars and all those Hot & Dangerous members!

Next Please....

Burning Ember (Harbingers of Chaos, #1) ~ Darby Briar

The last thing she needs after running from one monster is to land in the lair of the Devil.

Twenty-one year old Ember flees her past with soot on her face, ash in her hair, and a promise. She’ll never let another man take away her freedom and treat her like she means nothing.

But that is exactly what Maverick Gunn, leader of the notorious Harbinger’s of Chaos Motorcycle Club seeks to do from the moment his lethal gaze locks on her. He burns her with every look. Every touch. Every word. 

Ember’s only hope is to convince him she’s nothing like the woman who blackened his soul before he drags her down into the darkness with him.

What an amazing Debut..

Kickass Heroine, Yummy Bad Boys Galore, Angst, Action packed, Drama

Twist & Turns.. 

Wow I loved it.. I got pulled into Embers' world and didn't want to look back 

even with the shitty hand she was dealt over and over again I couldn't help but admire her and want to be her.. She was a fighter through and through and still manage to stay sweet and love unconditionally!!

Mav AKA Luce was so wrapped up in his past he couldn't see past anything else..

He became jaded and bitter.. and only had his club to live for..

He didn't know what hit him when Pumpkin/Doll came in blazing.. He couldn't help but doubt motives and harshly lash out..

I was gutted a few times with how Ember was treated, also flip flopped back and forth with Mavericks behavior and actions.. 

But in the end we got our HEA and I couldn't help but fall for all the characters..

I'm so looking forward to read about each and everyone of them, see what skeletons they each hold in their closets.. 

Ember and Mav's story had it's fair share of dark moments, blood shed and both sad & happy tears.. I didn't want their book to end!!

Next Up?

I'll gladly read anything on Dozer, Edge, Rigor, Taz hell even Griz..

with a side of Ivy

Keep them coming pretty please Darby Briar

You Nailed this Debut!!
