11 November 2017 Verified Purchase – There is so much that you need to know with this story as it is compulsive reading with a storyline quite unique. Michelle Love has exceeded my expectations which were very high to start with. This isn’t just a love story about Nox [gorgeous, handsome, intelligent, charming, good looking, FIT, talented in so many ways 😉 ,caring, protective, loyal, secretive, lonely in many ways surrounded by people, charismatic, SEXY, too trusting in many ways, wanting to believe the good of people and possessive but in a so good loving way.

This is a suspenseful story with real tragedy in the past and in the present as more and more , firstly, bizarre, then deadly events happen. I loved the detail that Michelle went into that whilst they didn’t all make much sense at the time, later on they become vital to what is happening. The romance aspects of this story are beautiful and HOT as you’d expect from a book by this author. But it was so very much more. It captured my imagination and it was only when the bizarre things started that I fully appreciated that this book was exceptional. if I could give it more than 5 stars I would as it certainly deserves it. Michelle was already one of my group of favourite authors but this really cemented her place there. if you haven’t read any of her books before – why?? She has penned a story here that, once you’ve read it, you will always remember the tension, the sorrow, the relief, the love and the joy of life it all encompasses. Don’t pass this book by. Please try it and I sincerely hope that you love it as much as do. I received an arc of this book and voluntarily leave my honest review of it here. An Exceptional Story. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED

Hot Seal Next Door: A Bad Boy Second Chance Romance by Tia Wylder

  He Doesn’t recognise His Own Son

This is Paul and Kelly’s story as well as the story of two boys getting a proper family.  Paul had been married and they had a son but the marriage didn’t work out and they divorced. Paul was a Navy SEAL and went on active service. On leave he met Kelly, a virgin, and they fell instantly in lust/love and had unprotected sex. But he left, despite him being in love with her and he never kept in touch with her. Six years later he has his son staying with him and new neighbours move in. The new neighbours are Kelly and her/their son that he knows nothing about.  Kelly wants to keep away from him despite her feelings for him haven’t changed and Paul is still in love with her and wants to try again even though he is upset that she must have been with another man to have a son!!  Obviously maths is not his strong point! The two boys get on together wonderfully but both Paul and Kelly are stubborn and not wanting to be hurt again.  At times, I felt like I needed to give both Kelly and Paul a good shake for not seeing what was right in front of them!!!! Tia Wylder has written a good storyline here that I read in less than an afternoon. The scenes between Kelly and Paul are red hot but I really couldn’t understand why Paul just couldn’t see the similarities between the two boys and the fact that he could be the father of them both. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Sight Lines (The Arsenal Book 2) by Cara Carnes

   Tensions are Rising

‘Sight Lines’ is the absolutely fantastic second book in The Arsenal by Cara Carnes. She is a new author to me but I was so impressed with the way she created such a fabulous storyline with amazing characters and had me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next in this suspenseful romantic thriller. Mary and Vi are the best back room operatives in the business and Mary was kidnapped, tortured but, fortunately, rescued before she gave any secrets away. She now, however, suffers from PTSD which is totally understandable given the circumstances.  But now someone has put a $2million  hit for their deaths but $6million if they can get all the secrets of HERA! Unfortunately, they have chosen the wrong man to blackmail into doing this for them as Judson has his own reasons for keeping the two women alive and betraying his so called ‘boss’!  The tension in the story is palpable and I could almost ‘feel’ when something dramatic was going to happen as Cara writes this style of writing so very well.  Her characterization of Vi, Mary and Jud are first class.  I’m now going to get a copy of ‘Jagged Edge’ which is the first book and tells us about Mary’s ordeal.  Can’t wait for Cara’s next book to be published. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

It was so easy to love Shane with his gorgeous green eyes and Dallas is such a beautiful person both inside and out.

Ranger’s Baby Surprise: A Brother’s Best Friend Romance by Violet Paige

  Will She Forgive Him & Give Him A Second Chance?

This is the latest  fun, passionate and fast paced read by Violet Paige.  We meet Jake who is a Ranger and he’s just got back from a mission in which his best friend, Elliot, didn’t make it back.  But Jake promised Elliot that he would help Elliot’s sister, Olivia, and protect her. Meanwhile Olivia is just getting to terms with the loss of her brother when she comes home one day to find a strange big truck in her driveway and a very handsome man on her step. He introduces himself and explains why he is there.  The attraction between them is instantaneous and unexpected. Jake starts to help her fix her house up but the pull of attraction between them over takes them and they end up making passionate love.  Feelings between them develop the longer they spend time together until the unexpected happens and he leaves her without a word. Not a note. NOTHING.  Will Olivia hear form him again? Why did he go? If he does get in touch, will she still be there after her house is sold??  All these questions will be answered when you get yourself your own copy and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  I confess that I really liked the plot, the two main characters of Olivia and Jake were well developed and it was all going so well until right at the end. I say this as I felt the ending could have been expanded more or even an epilogue added so that we could catch a glimpse of how their HEA was progressing. But, nevertheless, it was still very entertaining and beautifully written  by Violet Paige and I will be looking forward to her next book with anticipation. Included in the book are TWO exclusive books not available anywhere else. They are :- Slow Burn and Second Chance Doctor. I received a free reader’s copy and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here.  However, I purchased my own copy and that’s how I know that the two additional books are such good reads.

One More Time: A Second Chance Romance by Rye Hart

   Love On The High Sea

Rhett and Chanel were high school sweethearts till he broke her heart on prom night. The next day he left to join the Navy but never forgot about her.  Meanwhile Chanel carried on as best as she could although he still held her heart – however broken it was when he cheated on her as she was lead to believe.  It’s a ten year class reunion but Rhett has done very well for himself and is now very wealthy so pays for the reunion to be on a cruise ship.  he conveniently has the cabin right next to Chanel. They agree to take part in an auction and have abet between them as to who will get the bigger bid.  I loved Rhett from the beginning but Chanel took a while to get used to her as she seemed so emotionally immature.   He wants to do anything he can to make things right between them as he loves her and the more time he spends with her the deeper his love grows.  This story is a whirlwind of emotions from heartbreak at the beginning to hope, to lust, to suspense as there is a stalker aboard, to passion, to hopefully ever lasting love.  Their best friends Anna and Tommy were interesting characters to say the least and I found them very irritating but their hearts were in the right place.  The bonus story involves stepbrother and stepsister and is very steamy.  Rhett and Chanel in any room causes the air to sizzle as the chemistry between them is so HOT so be prepared to ‘experience’ passionate encounters between the two of them. I loved this story and the bonus book and look forward to rye’s next romantic adventure.  Beautifully written by Rye Hart with great character development, some great misunderstandings to be rectified, suspense and the agony of passion not acted upon.  I received a free copy of this book and leave my honest review of it here.  I encourage you to grab a copy of this yourself and enjoy the romantic adventures.

HUGE (Ten Book Romance Box Set) Hannah Ford

 

 A Fabulous Collection of Bad Boys

This collection contains ten volumes of demanding bosses, dirty bad boys and controlling billionaires from today’s top romance authors, Hannah Ford, Lucy Fall and Paige North.  New authors to me but I was so impressed that I will be looking out for more of their stories.  One of my favourites was –

Because he owns me by Hannah Ford :-

The dialogue is exceptionally well written in the first person with alternating his and her points of view. which really helped the characters of Callum and Adriana come alive to me the reader. The characters are captivating, engaging, intriguing and sexy as sin.  Callum was just so arrogant wanting her for just one night and then he’d just leave and forget about her!  A user with no shame or is he more than that? Maybe Adriana is the woman who will make a real man out of him??  The pull of the storyline with the clever writing kept me entranced in the story from first to last pages and I really enjoyed the story. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED

These ten books with hunky heroes and their equally terrific heroines are well worth reading. They are well written and fast paced with plenty of variety in the storylines that there is something for everyone.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Big Gun (American Badass, #1) by Dani Stowe

  Will Their Love Overcome Rules?

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.  This is the first story that I’ve read about an older woman and younger man romance. It is also the first book that I’ve read by Dani Stowe but I know that she is one author that I will be looking out for new stories to read as this one is so well written. Camilla Mandely who is  Battalion Commander Lieutenant has just turned 40 and will be retiring soon as she is worried that she could be court martialed and sent to prison because she is having an affair with a subordinate – namely Gunner who is 21 years old and her driver.  She also doesn’t want to destroy his career if they are found out.  But she hasn’t appreciated just how deeply in love and how much he loves her.  She breaks up with him just as he’s about to be deployed overseas but Gunner is nothing, if not determined, and he’s determined that she is the One for him! When he returns none months later, he doesn’t know whether she will be waiting for him.  Will there be heartbreak for these two lovers?  Dani Stowe writes with passion with a capital P and with these two lovers there is plenty of that.  But what is also so charming is the way they also cherish each other and are so loving which illustrates that this isn’t just some fling between two people but a deep and profound love that could develop and grow into a lifelong story of lasting love. To find out, you’re going to have to do what I did, get a copy of this story and enjoy the story by meeting the characters who are so well developed and discover if they get their own HEA,

WARNING: This is a red HOT and steamy novel – have your fans at the ready to switch to maximum freeze to combat the steam 😉
