Steamy, Sweet Read With A Message!





Finding Charity (Romance For All Seasons Book 1)

Jody Pardo (Author)


         Mark Lyon is a wealthy man, who is used to being in charge and having things go his way.  Mark is a very hard man. He does not like beggars. Mark feels that he has worked hard for what he has and never "put his hand out". Mark feels that beggars and the homeless should get a job. The Santas with their bells asking for donations give him migraines. Mark hates the Christmas. So, people at his office are surprised to see Mark at the company holiday party. While there, Mark meets a woman, Charity, that he very attracted to and leaves with her. Mark and Charity spend a very steamy night together, but he wakes up alone. Mark spots Charity serving food at the church by his home. He helps Charity and meets some of the people there. Charity is a good influence on Mark. She helps him see more than just a beggar, but a human being. When Mark goes looking for Charity, he finds her missing.

       This a story takes place during the Christmas holidays, but the concept or theme could take place anytime without a problem (in my opinion). Finding Charity is a quick and steamy read. It has a heart felt message, romance, HEA and suspense. Jody Pardo is a new author for me. This is the first book that I have read by her, but it will not be the last.

The Hitman Turned "Hero" And His Angelic, Princess!






Sold To The Hitman: A Bad Boy Mafia Romance Novel

Alexis Abbott (Author)

       Andrei aka Shadow works as a hitman for the Russian Mafia. He is supposed to be doing his job as security, when he sees an angelic creature being auctioned off to the highest bidder. Andrei instantly knows what he has to do and bids on her (Cassie). 

      Cassie has had a very sheltered life that revolved around home school and church. Her family is very religious. Cassie has been taught to serve her husband and be submissive. 

      Andrei feels very protective of Cassie. She is very naive and innocent. He takes Cassie places that she has never been and shows Cassie things that she has never seen. Cassie experiences many firsts with Andrei, from music to food to sex. Andrei helps Cassie grow and find things that she likes to do. Cassie becomes more independent and discovers who she is or wants to be in life with Andrei's help. She spreads her wings. 

      Andrei feels that he is not a good enough person for Cassie, but wants to become that person. The more time that Andrei spends with Cassie, the more that he discovers his purpose in life. As Andrei and Cassie spend more time together, they discover each other and love. Andrei also becomes more concerned about protecting his princess. She is afraid of Andrei, but wants to help him. When Cassie learns that Andrei is a hitman and things get tough, she will not left him (or his side). 

       Cassie and Andrei have very tough pasts / upbringings. They make each other a better person, in my opinion. Andrei shows a vast amount of patience, heart and love, even of a hitman. Don't forget he was hitman with a protective instinct. I love that! Andrei and Cassie enjoy (pardon the pun) some scorching sex. Yum! This story had me running/going through every emotion possible. My family thought I was weird at times. There is suspense, romance, action, and a HEA. This story has alternating POVs as well.
        
         This is the three book that I have read from Alexis Abbott, and I believe that each book is better that the last one. I received this arc in exchange for an unbiased review.

Willow & Teddy Are A "Hot" Match!




Willow (Flower Child Book 2)
Moxie Darling (Author)

4 1/2 Sexy Stars!

     Willow is the second book in the Flower Child series. This book can be read as a stand alone. There is a follow up or insight on Clover and her men, Eustace and Jim.


     Willow Spencer decides to go to West Virginia to visit her friend, Clover, after receives a letter from her. Clover has been living in the backwoods and asked Willow to come there. Willow will be working as a nanny for a widow with three children. She is a hippy / wild child with a free love attitude. Willow is instantly attracted to Teddy.

    Teddy is still reeling from the death of his wife and not sure how to interact with Willow or his children. Teddy doesn't really talk and is very standoffish to Willow. She tries to get his attention without much success, until she looks to another for some sexual attention. Teddy doesn't like that very much, and things change between them after that.

    Willow is a woman who just wants to be loved for who she is. Teddy is a man who is not sure how to move on with his life. These two help each other grow and change in positive ways. They both discover the other person's sensitive side and vulnerability. Teddy and Willow each had fears and doubts, but they accepted the other for who they were (flaws and all).

    This story still has the extremely, steamy sexual scenes and expletive language like the previous book, but it is so much more. This is a more complete story, in my opinion. This book has romance with a happily ever after. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I loved Willow and Teddy together. I loved that you got to know and understand the characters more. I loved "The Band-Aids" and "A Well-Read Book" concept or analysis. I have many favorite quotes, too many to list. One of my favorite quotes is:
"You kiss me like you're on fire." "Because you make me burn."

**I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This is my honest and unbiased review.**

Bad Boy & The Cop Make A Hot Couple!




Hot Blooded: A British Bad Boy Romance Novel

Jessica Lake (Author)

       Callum Cross is a British bad boy, who fight in an illegal boxing club. He is used to women throwing themselves at him.  Lily Morgan is an undercover cop looking for who killed a witness. She knows Callum's type and will out be like the other women. Lily and Callum are instantly attracted to each other. Lily is not going to give into Callum easily, partly because of her trust issues.
 
       This story has suspense, hot, scorching scenes with Lily and Callum, romance, twist and turns, and a sexy bad boy. Hot Blooded plot is different than other books, in my opinion. The main characters have an age difference. Callum is younger than Lily. I love that she doesn't fall for him easily. I felt that both Lily and Callum were vulnerable / tender and tough / fighter in their own way. I like that the author allow us to see the different sides of the characters. I was given this book for an unbiased review. I really enjoyed reading Lily and Callum's story.
