She knows that Griff has had a hard time / life and wants help him.

 Rory is a smart, sassy and independent girl with secrets of her own. She is tough and will take anyone on. Griff is a sexy bad boy with a dirty mouth and a rough side. He is also smart and has a sensitive side. While trying to find out what happened to Hadley, the girl who disappeared, Griff and Rory visit a secret sex club and have a run in with angry billionaires. These two characters have great sexual chemistry. This story has action and suspense. You get to see the good and bad side of the main characters. There are secrets that get revealed / exposed. This is in my opinion a slightly different take on a bad boy story. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to others, who like a dirty talking bad boy.

The Librarian and Her 2 Bears!

A Bear's Journey (Shifter Country Bears Book 4)

Roxie Noir (Author)


4 1/2 Stars!

      A Bear's Journey is the fourth book in the Shifter Country Bears series. It can be read as a stand alone. A Bear's Journey is the story of Olivia, who as introduced in the last book in the series. There are some twists and turns (or mystery). This is a fast paced, sizzling romance.      

*Possible Spoiler*

      Olivia Lessing is a bear shifter, who has been feral for 10 years. She is still working on adjusting to life in her human form again. Olivia struggles everyday with being around other people and communicating with people. She has to fight to not shift (to her bear form) and run away. So, Olivia makes lists of all the things that she likes about being human, like peanut butter and hugs.

      Jasper Sargent, the son of Senator Sargent, and his partner and mate Craig have been looking to find third. The men feel that they saw the woman that could complete their triad a few years ago, but have not be able to locate her. Jasper spots the mystery girl/bear, Olivia, behind the library reading. Craig get excited, when he find out that Olivia lives in Cascadia. 

     Jasper and Craig learn that people believe that Olivia is the one that has killed the wolves. This doesn't stop the men for asking Olivia out on a date. Jasper and Craig stand by Olivia. They protect and support her, until Olivia feel more confident in herself. 

     Favorite Quote:
 "Okay," she said. "I think I'm normal again." 
 "You'll never be normal," said Jasper. "It's what we love you for."

      The story of Olivia, Jasper, and Craig is a wonderful story about love and finding the person or people that make you feel complete. In my humble opinion, this story about feeling comfortable in your own skin or being okay to be yourself. I highly recommend this story to anyone. I loved that Roxie had Olivia working in a librarian and loved to read. ; )

Alexis Abbott (Author)

5 Sexy Stars!


          This is a fast-paced, suspense filled story. This story has strong characters, an exciting plot and a happily ever after. It will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole way through the book. This is an erotic romance with a tattoo, bad boy who loves to be an alpha male in and out of the bedroom.

          Sarah Fairfax has been struggling the last 2 years since her step mother threw her out. So, Sarah is shocked when she gets a call from her step mother asking to see her.

         Be forewarned this story does has some violence and step siblings in a relationship. There is nonstop action and a dominate male, who can be very bad and has a dirty mouth. There are some very hot sex scenes that you may need to fan yourself while you read. Overall, I can't say enough about this story. I highly recommend this book to loves of Alpha Males, Step stories and/or Mafia stories.

Wolves, Bears, and Charlie! Oh My!! ; )

A Bear's Mercy (Shifter Country Bears Book 3)

Roxie Noir (Author)


4 Stars!

*Possible Spoilers*

         Charlotte Mullins is in Cascadia to capture a feral bear shifter. She has come looking for the feral bear that has been attacking and killing wolf shifters. Charlotte "Charlie" believes that the feral bear shifter is Kade Lessing. She is not afraid of shifter, because Charlie has been around them all her life. While in the woods with Kade in her sights and a gun in her hand, Charlie is attacked by wolves.

       Kade Lessing and his mate, Daniel, live a fairly simple life. Kade has helped feral bear shifters in the past and continues to do it. Daniel is one shifter that was helped by Kade and then fell in love with him. They built a live together until they can find someone to complete their triad. 

       When Kade hears Charlie scream, he runs to her aid. After fighting off the wolves that attacked Charlie, Kade carries her home. Daniel and Kade with the help of his cousin Hunter work on nursing Charlie back to health. On day there is a knock at the door, a swifter wolf has come to ask Kade to trade Charlie for Olivia. When the man / shifter wolf leaves, Charlie wants to know what is going on and who is Olivia. Charlie tells the men her plan to save Olivia, stop who is killing the wolf swifters, and how she will call in the FBI. 

       Charlie is a feisty, strong and independent woman, who didn't like that she had to rely on the men for help when she was injured. Kade is a strong silent type, who cares for others and wants to help those in need. Daniel is a sweet and kind man. He had to try harder than Kade to be understood and also to keep the peace (so to speak). 

       This is the 3rd story in the series and can be read as a stand alone. The story of Kade, Daniel and Charlie revolves more around the characters and their relationship development then the other books, in my opinion. There is still the steamy sex scenes, but you get to know the characters, their stories, their feelings, etc. The build up to the good sex! ; )  I did like that Roxie Noir gave us a chance (again with this book) to see one of the character for a previous book. The introduction of Olivia makes me wonder what is to come next, if anything. I enjoyed this story and would recommend it others.

Erik and Jackie = Hot in Cancun!!

Russian Enforcer's Burning Obsession (Russian Enforcers Book 5)

Nic Saint (Author)

4 1/2 Stars!

     Jackie Bouchard is on vacation with her best friend, Susan, in Cancun. They are enjoying 2 weeks of sunbathing and relaxation, or so they think. The women are being followed and targeted by a group of corrupt cops. Jackie meets a man that she feels is rude, but very gorgeous. When Susan is attacked, Jackie discovers the real reason that Erik is at the resort. 

     Erik Petrov is an enforcer for the Russian Mafia. He and Bruno are at the hotel to get rid of the men that are targeting female tourist. Erik is not much of a talker and could not help, but notice Jackie. He is caught staring at her on many occasions instead of working. When Bruno and Erik take care of the man that attacked Susan, Jackie learns what the men do for a living, but does keep their secret.

     The romance and relationship between Jackie and Erik develops slowly, but the sex scenes are very hot and steamy. Jackie thinks that it is just a summer fling and that nothing will come of it. Jackie and Erik both develop feels for each other, but they are unsure how the other feels. The corrupt cops continue go after and attack Jackie. When she is kidnapped, Erik calls in help from his family. After Erik rescues Jackie, he knows that he wants Jackie is his life always.

     I loved both characters, Jackie and Erik. I am glad that the author let us get a look into the family unit that is the Petrovs (the family dinner). This story had romance, action, hot sex scenes, danger, good guys who are bad guys, and bad guys who are good guys. I recommend this book, especially those who enjoyed any of the other Russian Enforcer books. This book is part of a series, but can be read as a stand alone.

      Victor is home from college for fall break. Nick is a young man that Victor went to school with. Nick now does repairs and handyman type things for the neighbors.

A Hot Bear Menage!

A Bear's Nemesis (Shifter Country Bears Book 2)

Roxie Noir (Author)

5 Sexy Stars!!

       Quinn Taylor has come to Cascadia with her parents to protest. Her parents are leaders of an anti-shifter group. Quinn has been taught to hate shifters all her life.  

       Julius Bloom is a lawyer and grizzly shifter. He is fighting for marriage rights. Hudson Trager is Julius's mate. They both hope to find a women to complete their triad. Julius see and makes eye contact with Quinn on the steps of the courthouse. At the same time, he hears gun shots and runs to cover/protect Quinn. Julius's bear says that she is his mate, and that she needs to be protected. Hudson also feels that Quinn is his mate and perfect to complete their triad.

          Quinn is curious about Julius and Hudson, especially after seeing them kiss. She starts to question her parents and their beliefs. Quinn feels that she needs to do the right thing when she hears about a plot to kill Julius. I loved that Quinn decided to do the right thing, even if it was against her parents. Julius and Hudson are sexy men, who are in love with each other. Quinn is a smart young lady, who will fight for who she loves (and what she believes in).

        This is the book 2, but it can be read as a stand alone story. We get to check back in on Ash, Cora and Hunter. One of my favorite scenes was the picnic. I did appreciate that there is a message (theme) within this story. I think that the author great job with it. This is a steamy, hot read with two sexy men. I love a good menage story, and Roxie Noir never disappoints.

Club Secrets USA Book 1 

Layla Wilcox (Author) 


      David Hauser is home on break from college. David is getting ready to go to medical school. While in his bedroom, he goes to use an old computer and discovers it is logged into a porn site. David is shocked to learn that some of the naked photos are of the beautiful and sexy neighbor, Andrea Whitney. She is his mother's friend, and David used babysit for Andrea's children. David has had a crush on her, since he was fifteen years old. While David is enjoying Andrea's photos, his mother walks in on him. Very embarrassing. David learns that Andrea frequents a place called Club Secrets and is on her way there. He goes there in hopes of meeting up with Andrea. Once at Club Secrets, David discovers a very different scene than he is used to, but he does find Andrea. David helps Andrea out, when she is drunk, harassed by a man, and in a scary situation. 

     This is book one of three in the series. Andrea is a woman who is exploring her sexual side. David makes his way through the clubs, in each book. I liked that David is a gentlemen, but has a naughty, dirty side.  I loved his answer to what his medical specialty would be. Hilarious! This is a very steamy and fast read. A fan may be required while reading this story.

Billionaire By Day & Bad Ass Biker By Night

The Billionaire Biker's Bitch 1 (An Alpha Billionaire Romance)

Layla Wilcox (Author)


     On her way out for a girls' night, Claire Davenport is pasted by several bikers. One biker comes way too close to her and seems to checking her out. Later down the road, Claire see the biker again and notices the writing on his shirt. (I personally love it by the way.) While dancing she is approached by a sexy stranger. Claire has a sexual encounter with him without getting his name, but he asked her first name. I love when he calls her "little one". As he walks away, Claire notices the back of his shirt. Claire starts her new job soon as a receptionist, while she finishes her master degree.

     Alexander Harriman is a billionaire CEO of Harriman Motors. When he gives the welcome speech to the new hires, Alexander discovers the girl from the club, Claire is one of his newest employees. The company has a policy of no employee relationships. He invites Claire to come over with her employee manual/rules in one week. Alexander is used to being in charge and getting what he wants.

     Alexander is an alpha male with a sweet side. Claire is a feisty, strong woman. The sexual chemistry and sex scenes are hot and steamy. The last scene was great with the shirt that Claire buys. I can't wait for the next book to see what is next book for Claire and Alex. I love how these two seem to feed off each other. I think that everyone could use an Alex in their life. Yum.

The Missing Twin

Caustic (Dark Romantic Suspense) (Dark Desires)

Morgan Black (Author)

     
        Skye Kellan is called to her dying grandfather's bed with a final request. He wants her to find her twin sister, Leia, and bring her home. Leia has been missing, since she check out of the mental institution. Ellis Waters knew Leia, when they were both patients at Connecticut Psychiatric. Skye tracks him down to see if Ellis might know where Leia is. Together Skye and Ellis go looking for Leia. They hope to find her, before someone else more deadly does.

      This story has a lot of suspense and mystery. Many of the characters have secrets and dark pasts that they want kept buried or don't often share. Many of the twists and turns I didn't see coming. Often I thought I knew what would happen next, but I was usually wrong. I loved both main characters, Skye and Ellis. I would like to know what happens in the future for them, if they are able to move on from their pasts and find happiness. I feel that they each deserve that. This book left me desperate for more (like; what happens next, is there a HEA, etc.) I wish that I could say more, but that would give away the story. I recommend that you read it, because you won't be disappointed.

Shane and Jackson are also interested in Tessa. When she goes to investigate a strange noise, she discovers the two men in a tent. Tessa hears them in the throws of passion. She decides to stay and watch. Very juicy!  Jackson and Shane show Tessa what it feels like to share and to watch. I love when Jackson show Tessa how to play the card game, Strip War, in the middle of camp. Tessa has a hard time staying quiet with these two (separately and together). Shane and Jackson are dirty talking, alpha males. The scenes with Jackson and Shane were hot and steamy. I loved the way the story ended with a hea. What girl won't want two sexy men all to herself?!

Spitfire and Ben!

Warrior (First To Fight Book 1)

Nicole Blanchard (Author)


     Warrior is a story about love, second chances, struggles (both mental and physical), family, and so much more. This book takes the reader on a wild ride through every emotion. I found myself crying one moment and laughing the next. The reader will feel sadness, angry, fear, happiness, and love. This is a book unlike any other that I have read lately, in the best possible way. 

  *Possible Spoilers*

    After time spent in foster care, Olivia was adopted as a young girl into a loving family. Her older brother Jack is very protective of Olivia. One of Jack's best friends is Ben. As a teen, Olivia has a crush on Ben. They shared a kiss, before he went into the military. Ben felt that he would never be good enough for Olivia. He calls Olivia, his sweet spitfire. Ben loves her hair and when she gets fired up / feisty. 

    While home on leave, Ben see Olivia again. They share an incredible night together, before he deploys overseas. Both of them know that they can only have the one night. What they share is very special. When they part the next day, Ben tells Olivia that he knows that he can't ask her to wait for him, but he hopes that she will. 

    Ben comes home a changed man from his experiences, what he has seen, and his injuries. Olivia has changed also (death of family, her own struggles, being attacked, a child with health issues, etc). Olivia is a fighter and a survivor. When Ben comes back into Olivia's life, he wants to protect and keep her and her son safe. Olivia is not sure if she wants to open her heart to Ben again. She is afraid to be hurt again.

     Ben and Olivia are both fiercely loyal and protective of their family. They both have vulnerabilities and fears/demons (like most people). Due to these fears / demons, their are (other twist and turns) events that happen, not for the good in the story. But Ben and Olivia learn to trust each other again for their family and find their happily ever after. 

     This story is told in the POV of both Ben and Olivia. It will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way through. I hope that I did this story justice with this review, because I LOVED it. I just hope that I expressed myself completely. I highly recommend this book. I am looking forward to the next book.
