“He’s sweet, kind, funny, and good. So damn good. And, for a bonus prize, add in that he’s an amazing father. That’s some sexy Kryptonite right there.”

FINAL DECISION: A nice story that is lacking a bit in comparison to the other books in this series. The central conflict seemed not enough to keep these two apart and the emotional depth of this story was not what I would expect.

THE STORY: Abby is the nanny of a five year old girl. The father, Simon Travers is known as a “hot single dad”. He is devoted to his daughter. The problem is that Abby has been attracted to Simon for months. What she doesn’t know is that Simon has been resisting his own attraction to Abby. He fears that wanting the nanny is just too stereotypical and he doesn’t want to lose Abby who has been a blessing for him and his daughter.

OPINION: This was an enjoyable story but lacked the vibrancy of most of Lauren Blakely’s books. The central conflict of this book is about how Simon doesn’t want to be a cliche of single dad and the nanny. While an interesting idea, that conflict didn’t feel deep enough to keep these two apart.

Because I didn’t think the central conflict was deep enough, I also didn’t feel that the forces keeping these two apart didn’t feel important enough to justify the drama around it. These characters were so likeable and thus there wasn’t the depth to the story that I would expect — even though the story was nice enough.

I enjoyed these two together, but they were just a little too perfect and sweet for my tastes.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book is told in alternating first person.

CONNECTED BOOKS: THE SEXY ONE is book 4 in the Holiday/Hammer books which are connected but can be read as a standalone. This book is a direct spinoff of MISTER O.

STAR RATING: I give this book 3 stars.

“Good guys are boring. You need a little bad to keep things fun. And nice guys? Nice guys have something to hide.”

FINAL DECISION: Funny and fresh with a player who is truly shattered by falling in love. Drew fights love until it knocks him flat and then has to find a way to win his way back to the woman he loves.

THE STORY: Drew Evans thinks he has everything. He is accomplished, handsome and can have any woman he wants. Until he meets Katherine Brooks. Kate is beautiful and ambitious and engaged. Drew and Kate start a rivalry that sets Drew on edge. The two fight and are desperately attracted to one another despite themselves. All this results in Drew ending up locked in his apartment for a week claiming the flu but suffering from love sickness.

OPINION: If you are going to read this book just accept that Drew is one of those jerks who will ultimately get his comeuppance. Chase brilliantly places that moment at the very beginning of the book. So while Drew is a jerk, jumps to conclusions, often treats Kate very poorly, the reader always knows that he is going to pay…and, oh, how he does pay. The beginning of this book is perhaps one of the funniest and saddest scenes I’ve ever read.

Drew is a man convinced of his place in the world and satisfied that he is on the top and invincible. Then he meets Kate who is unlike any woman he has ever been attracted to. First, she rejects him. Second, she is just as ambitious as he is and may end up just as accomplished. Third, he can’t stop thinking about her despite himself. Because the book is told from Drew’s point of view, we get to see all his warts, but also his struggle with falling in love. And when he falls, he does it completely and is as dedicated to proving himself to Kate as he was fighting his feelings.

The humor in this book also keeps Drew from being unbearable. In the first person narrative, Drew directly addresses the reader which makes it difficult to judge him from a distance. Instead, he maintains the naughty bad boy who is lovable because of his flaws.

Kate is amazing because she puts Drew in his place. It is clear from the beginning that Kate is the person to manage Drew. The road would have been easier if Drew did not make so many mistakes.

WORTH MENTIONING: While subsequent books also deal with Drew and Kate’s relationship, this book is complete in itself. A reader could stop here and have a complete story.

CONNECTED BOOKS: TANGLED is the first book in the Tangled series.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

five-stars

“He’s as hot, smooth, and rich as a lava cake. And he makes politics thrilling.”

FINAL DECISION: I loved this book and I can only hope that the next book will live up to the standard set here. This book has all kinds of sexual and emotional tension with an incredibly sweet and romantic relationship. A win for Hamilton!

THE STORY: As a child, Charlotte Wells met the president and his son Matt Hamilton. She promised Matt that if he ever ran for president, she would support him. Now years after the assassination of his father, Matt has taken up the challenge to be the youngest man to ever be elected president. Charlotte signs on to his campaign. As the two spend time together, the attraction between them is obvious and forbidden. Matt knows all to well the sacrifice that being the president means for a wife and family and has no intention of having either. Rather Matt intends to dedicate himself to the American people. Despite this, he can’t resist Charlotte even as they risk scandal for what they both know must be a temporary relationship.

OPINION: I approached this book with a tremendous amount of dread. After the miserable political season this year, the last thing I wanted was a political themed romance. But this book surprised me and actually made me feel good about the possibilities of politics even if our current reality stinks.

I absolutely loved the story in this book. Charlotte and Matt are so wonderful together. Their romance is sweet and incredibly romantic while at the same time the two are hiding from the press. They know that their romance has an end date even as the two become more engrossed in one another.

Charlotte has had a crush on Matt for years. When the two encounter one another again, the sparks fly between them. She is a do-gooder who feels that she needs to dedicate herself to something. That thing becomes the election of Matt Hamilton. She believes in all his idealism and his reality. I liked her because even though she is young at twenty-two, she is a hard worker and a realist about her relationship with Matt.

Matt Hamilton is just adorable (and gosh, I wish there was a real version of him running for president). He is strong and dominant and funny and sweet. He is completely dedicated to his run for president to fulfill his father’s legacy but he risks it all to be with Charlotte. Even as his instincts and those around him keep warning him, he cannot help but fall for Charlotte.

What makes this book for me is how Charlotte and Matt develop a relationship even as they are determined to remember that their affair has an expiration date. Matt takes incredible risks for Charlotte even as he claims that their relationship has to end. Charlotte gives everything to Matt even as she knows that she could be the cause of his ruin.

The tension of these two obviously falling in love despite their best intentions not to made this book just sing for me. The angst and the desperation of these two was beautiful especially when combined with the sweet situations they find themselves in.

This book is sexy but it was the emotional purity between Charlotte and Matt that made this book for me.

This book ends on a cliffhanger. I’ve been burnt by multi-book relationship stories before but I hope that the next book in the series lives up to this one.

WORTH MENTIONING: This is part of a continuing series with these characters so their relationship is not resolved in this book.

CONNECTED BOOKS: MR. PRESIDENT is the first book in the White House series.

STAR RATING: I give this book 5 stars.

NOTE: I received an ARC of this book in order to provide a review. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions contained herein are my own.

“But we can’t change who we are — not a queen, a prince, or a girl from New York. Like he told me once…royalty is forever.”

FINAL DECISION: Romantic, funny and sexy. I love this book. Its tone, its humor, its intense emotional and romantic underpinnings. The entirety seems like a modern fairy tale and I enjoyed every page.

THE STORY: Nicholas Arthur Frederick Edward Pembrook is the Crowned Prince of Wessco. Women around the world are obsessed with the sexy heir to the throne. While Nicholas has thoroughly enjoyed his bachelor ways, his grandmother, the Queen, tells him that it is time for him to marry. Nicholas, always aware of his position knows that he needs to comply, but he is going to make the most of the time he has left. He first has to go to New York to handle his younger brother who is acting scandalously. In New York, Nicholas meets Olivia Hammond who is running her family’s failing coffee house. When Nicholas propositions her Olivia tosses a pie in his face and thus Nicholas has met the woman who can resist him. In the months before his aristocratic bride will be announced, Nicholas and Olivia agree to have a temporary affair. The question is what happens when a temporary affair becomes love that can’t lead to marriage.

OPINION: I have become a real fan of Emma Chase’s style. I’ve only sporadically liked first person narratives, but I’ve always loved getting in the heads of Chase’s characters. This book typifies why I like Chase’s style. Her characters are flawed with big personalities and quirky senses of humor. The obstacles that the characters face here feel insurmountable until everything falls into place for a happy ending.

And that is another thing I really liked about this book. Somehow this book manages to walk the line between completely feeling contemporary and realistic and yet there is a fairy tale quality to the story that reaches it height at the ending (which I absolutely adored).

As we meet Nicholas in this book, he is the golden child. Next in line for the throne of his country, he has tried to live up to the expectations of being royalty. He’s tried to keep his relationships in their proper place and avoid scandal at all costs. (In comparison his younger brother is the scandalous hellion). When Nicholas’s grandmother informs him that it is time to marry, Nicholas is unhappy, but he knows he needs to do his duty. The acceptance of the reader that Nicholas is truly a man of duty is important to the story because that duty is what ultimately is going to keep Nicholas and Olivia apart. If Chase did not so deftly embed Nicholas’s duty into the very fiber of his character, the central conflict of the book would not have any power. Instead, the real sense is that Nicholas is caught in a net from which he cannot escape no matter what he might emotionally want.

I absolutely adored Olivia. She is a woman living on the edge. Trying to support her family by operating the coffee shop, Olivia is not making ends meet. Things are becoming desperate. Yet, Olivia never wants to take advantage of the possibilities for money that could come from knowing Nicholas. She is moral and honest. She also knows that Nicholas will be marrying the appropriate woman but is willing to enjoy all the possibilities in the meantime. She knows there is no future for them but will take every moment that she can have.

I like books that make me cry and then rejoice and this book does that. As things appear hopeless for Olivia and Nicholas, the emotions of the book were so strong that I teared up. There seemed to be no solution to the dilemma — and then there was. The sacrifice was huge, but that is the beauty of the book. Love can be worthy of sacrifice.

WORTH MENTIONING: Oh, I can’t wait for Henry’s book. I’ve always like the scoundrel.

CONNECTED BOOKS: ROYALLY SCREWED is the first book of the Royally series.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4.5 stars.

Genres: Contemporary, Erotica
Goodreads
four-stars

FINAL DECISION: Great conclusion to the book. I would recommend just buying the novel in one whole, but if buying in parts gets you to read this book, then go ahead.

THE STORY: Chase and Ria have reached a crisis point. Chase realizes that he wants more than mere sex from Ria, but Ria now doesn’t trust in their relationship. As this part begins, Chase is trying to press his case while dangers from the past threaten them both.

OPINION: This section of the novel pulls both the relationship and the suspense story together to an exciting conclusion. I liked how the emotional relationship between Ria and Chase has changed. As they reach the end of the book, it is obvious how their relationship has changed. Chase has opened himself up to Ria and now they have an emotional connection as well as a sexual one. A reprise of the menage demonstrates how their relationship has changed. It is a nice closure to the book and gives perspective.

As a whole, I enjoyed this book.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book also at the end introduces the next book in the series.

CONNECTED BOOKS: This is the final part of the novel. It should only be read after the first two parts of the book. ONLY PLEASURE is book 10 of the Bound Hearts series. The book can be read as a standalone.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

four-stars

FINAL DECISION: After the developments of the first part of this novel where the sexual relationship between Kia and Chase began, this book is about the emotional connection developing between them. I feel that this book is the guts of Chase’s emotional journey but you have to read the last part to know what happens.

THE STORY: Kia and Chase have entered into a sexual relationship that involves a third person. Kia has decided that merely being involved with Chase sexually is not enough for her and demands that if he wants to see her, they must have something more than sex. Chase who has spent years distancing himself from intimacy doesn’t know how to respond when he thinks he should stay away from Kia but can’t resist her.

OPINION: I liked this portion of the book because Chase is really beginning to be challenged here. He thinks that he has everything figured out but he can’t seem to get Kia out of his mind. Kia also begins to change here. She is done being a doormat and instead demands what she wants. This portion is Kia’s empowerment and Chase’s downfall. Just as he begins to want her more than he expected, he is now afraid that he needs her more than she needs him.

I like these characters as they are developing their relationship both in the bedroom and out. This portion of the book also pushes forward the suspense story as Kia is in danger. The question is who is trying to hurt her and why.

By the time this part finished, I was certainly read to read part three to find out what happens.

WORTH MENTIONING: Please read my review of part one before reading this review.

CONNECTED BOOKS: This is the second part of the full novel which has been divided into three parts and thus must be read together. The book ONLY PLEASURE is book 10 in the Bound Hearts series. This book can be read as a standalone.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

four-stars

FINAL DECISION: This is a good start to the book. I know that this book was not originally intended to be broken up into three parts so the story is incomplete here, but I enjoyed the relationship developing between Chase and Kia.

THE STORY: Two years ago, Kia Rutherford’s life was shattered when her husband tried to force her into a threesome. Now things have changed as Kia meets up with Chase Falladay, the man she has thought about for years. When Chase and his friend Khalid take her on a car ride, she finds herself in the middle of a threesome that she had rejected with her ex-husband. But the truth is that Kia has always had feelings for Chase but she fears that he only wants the sexual relationship from her while she wants something more.

OPINION: This portion of the book focuses on the beginning of the relationship between Chase and Kia. While Khalid is part of the menage, the emotional relationship is clearly between Kia and Chase. The two begin their sexual relationship in this portion of the book. As this portion reaches its conclusion, the question is whether or not their relationship will be something other than sexual pleasure.

As the book begins, Chase is a man who doesn’t want attachments after he was betrayed by a woman. While he cannot stay away from Kia, he tries to convince himself that he is only interested in the sexual relationship. Yet Chase cannot help but be possessive of Kia.

Kia is a woman who was shattered and has kept herself away from others for two years. Her intense relationship with Chase begins to thaw her emotions. She begins to try and take back her life after the destruction her ex-husband wrought.

There are two dramatic plot stories also involved in this book. There is the continued stalking done by Kia’s ex-husband. There is also the revenge related to the death of the woman that betrayed Chase.

This short portion gives readers a good taste of the Bound Hearts series, but it needs to be read as part of the whole book.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book, like the Bound Hearts series, contains a MMF menage.

CONNECTED BOOKS: This is part one of a three part division of the original novel. The novel is book 10 in the Bound Hearts series. This book can be read as a standalone although there are overlapping characters.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

Maria: “It’s just a part of me. I learned long ago to avoid the mountaintops of life. Sure, it’s fun to get to the top. But storms come and lightning strikes, and it’s no fun being exposed on top of the world in those moments. Daydreams are great, but an established salary and health benefits have to come first, thank you.”

Jay: “If we hadn’t managed to hate each other first, Em would have been it for me. I failed to see her on every conceivable level. How do I admit that?”

FINAL DECISION: I wanted to like this book more. Parts were brilliant and moving and parts just felt like distant. Jay started out unlikable and I don’t know that he ever evolved enough for me to truly like him. But there was enough in it for me to give it another chance. Maybe a re-read in a year or two will change my mind.

THE STORY: Jay na Thalang is driven. A professor at Berkeley, he has focused on his work to the exclusion of all other relationships in his life. When he meets Maria Lopez, a student, he first insults her, and then knows that she is a distraction but insists that he is not interested. But he is interested. The first terrible meeting between Jay and Maria sets the standard for their combative relationship. Maria is cautious and Jay’s dismissal of her hurts even though she believes him a jerk. What neither of them knows is that they have been corresponding and flirting for months. Maria secretly runs a doomsday blog and Jay has been commenting and communicating with Maria. The two have an online friendship that might be turning into something else and an offline hate relationship that might not be something they can overcome.

OPINION: There was much that I liked about this book. Both Jay and Maria are smart, sarcastic and imperfect. I love those angst filled romances where two damaged people find love. I loved the online relationship aspect where the two are themselves and open in ways that they can’t be in real life. I also liked how the two strike bad sparks off one another in real life where they make assumptions and fail to see the truth of the other. This is especially true for Jay who thinks himself progressive and yet makes assumptions about Maria which hurt her. I really liked that the relationship between these two is messy and imperfect and so honestly real.

Maria is a woman who is always waiting for those she cares about to reject her. She writes an apocalyptic blog which is apropos because she is always waiting for disaster to strike. She fears asking too much of others and herself because life has given her disappointment. She is trans but while an essential part of who she is, it isn’t the focus of the story except in how the reactions of others (especially her parents have effected her). I loved the quirks of her nature: she eats soup for her comfort food, demands the reusing of cream cheese containers as tupperware and wears high heels so high they make my ankles hurt just thinking about them.

Jay was harder for me to like and I never am sure that I ever fell in love with him as I like to do with characters. He treats Maria abominably the first time they meet because he makes assumptions and is more concerned with his own career than the human being in front of him. While many romantic heroes are jerks at times, Jay just continued to be jerky for too long. Jay has his reasons for his behavior, but even so it doesn’t excuse his behavior. For me, things just got fixed too easily: with Jay’s parents, with Maria. Perhaps he didn’t suffer enough for me or maybe I didn’t see enough of Jay acting good to counteract the bad. For whatever reason, I couldn’t connect enough with Jay in order to make the romance superlative.

I liked this book and there was some beautiful writing in it. This is a book that I would read again to see if it was my own expectations that stopped me from really loving it.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book takes place in the college town of Berkeley. As a Cal grad, I was happy to see the school and town so well depicted. This book reminds me of what I love about Cal.

CONNECTED BOOKS: HOLD ME is the second book in the Cyclone series. It is a standalone which does not require reading the first book in the series although characters from that book appear.

STAR RATING: I give this book 3.5 stars.

four-stars

“The woman I want is the woman I married. Just a few days ago I thought we shouldn’t be tied like this, that we should have a fresh start. But now that I’m certain of how I feel, I don’t want the two of us to end. I want us to keep going. The only problem is she desperately wants me to be her ex-husband by tomorrow at noon.”

FINAL DECISION: Funny and light, this is a classic romantic comedy with a hero who doesn’t know what he wants, a heroine determined to give him what he says he wants, sexy public sex and two people for whom what happens in Vegas doesn’t stay there.

THE STORY: Wyatt Hammer has a problem. He falls for women involved in his business and lives to regret it. When he and his sexy and adorable assistant Natalie travel to Vegas, what starts as a great business opportunity goes south. The two decide to have a classic Vegas evening with drinking, gambling and quickly becomes sexual escapades on a roller coaster, public sex and getting married by a bad Elvis impersonator. When the two wake in the morning, they also have to get a quickie annulment. As they return home to New York, Wyatt finds that he has a problem. He can’t keep his hands off his soon to be ex-wife.

OPINION: This book made me laugh out loud. It was funny and sexy and crazy. Wyatt and Natalie have quite a night in Vegas. Anyone who has imagined what it would be like to throw all caution to the wind and live the Vegas promise of excess. I loved the scenes in Vegas which might be one of my favorite oops wedding ever.

Wyatt is sweet and a bit silly after his bad experiences with women. He makes some irrational decisions and lets his fears overcome him, and yet is is adorable. One of my favorite part of Blakely’s heroes is that they are naughty talking (and doing) men and yet they have a deep emotional core that makes them good men. Wyatt is a good guy at heart and he made me smile.

Natalie is a good match for Wyatt. Adventurous like Wyatt, she is a stabilizing influence for Wyatt. He likes that she takes care of him in various ways. You also have to like a heroine who knows martial arts and tossing the hero easily! She is determined to give Wyatt what he claims he wants even if she knows that they are good together.

This is a great book if you are looking for a funny read that keeps it light and amusing. I liked the emotional connection with these characters but there is more humor than angst.

WORTH MENTIONING: This book is almost completely from the hero’s point of view.

CONNECTED BOOKS: WELL HUNG is the third book in the Holiday/Hammer series. It can be read as a standalone.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

Pages: 154
Goodreads
four-stars

“The music faded away along with all the people, until it was just the two of them, divided by a room, five years, and her once-broken heart.”

FINAL DECISION: A book that has a strong, independent heroine that has experienced much pain and yet takes control of her own pleasure by confronting the pain in her past. I loved Kenna and Griffin.

THE STORY: Kenna Sloane is an ex-Marine, amputee and motivational speaker. She is having problems adjusting to her new life. As a way of solving that problem, she decides to confront her past. Five years ago, Griffin Hudson was her lover and Dominant. When Kenna fell in love with him and wanted more, he rejected her. Now Kenna wants to see if the Dom/Sub lifestyle she liked so much can help her recover. She returns to Blasphemy, the sex club that Griffin owns and where he is one of the 12 Masters. What Kenna doesn’t know is that Griffin has never forgotten her. He quickly regretted his rejection of the perfect woman for him and now that she has returned, he plans to keep her.

OPINION: I loved how strong and independent Kenna was in this book. She is a tough woman who has experienced the trauma and death of war but has begun to pull herself together. When she sees that her life is not what she wants it to be, she takes action. She returns to the dom/sub life that brought her happiness even though she experienced pain as well when Griffin rejected her.

“Unlike the rest of her life right now, at least here — right here in this room — she knew what the rules were, what was expected of her, and what she could do to succeed. She knew who and what she was. And God, she hadn’t realized how much she needed that. All of that. Because she’s lost it when she’s lost the Marines. She’d just lost so much.”

The story of Kenna is powerful; she is a warrior. I loved how her being an amputee is part of the story but it doesn’t diminish her sexuality or sexual attraction. Her qualities amplify the attraction Griffin has for her. She can be strong, be physically imperfect and have lingering emotional scars, but she is allowed to be sexual and attractive.

Griffin is a sweetheart. I don’t know how Kaye does it, but she manages to make him incredibly alpha and yet kind and compassionate. His reaction to her service as a Marine and her amputation is so supportive that I could see how Kenna fell in love with him.

In this book, Griffin has already gone through his conversion to recognizing how wrong he was in the past. He knows what he lost and is determined to not lose her again.

While this book is centered around the Blasphemy Club, the sex play in this book is only about the relationship between Kenna and Griffin. They have already dealt with their sexual compatibility and their attraction to one another. This book is really about Kenna coming to terms with herself. She manages to do this through her sex play and her relationship with Griffin which opens her up to happiness again and her ability to deal with her grief and guilt.

I thought this book was thoughtful and sexy.

The only criticism I had was that I thought Kenna forgave Griffin way too easily after his prior rejection of her.

WORTH MENTIONING: This is a novella.

CONNECTED BOOKS: BOUND TO SUBMIT is the first book in the Blasphemy series. There is a connected book that operates as a prequel entitled HARD TO SERVE. It is not necessary to read HARD TO SERVE before BOUND TO SUBMIT.

STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.
