ARC Review - Disorderly Conduct (The Anna Albertini Files #1) by Rebecca Zanetti!


BLURB:

A fun, sexy, suspenseful new series from New York Times Bestselling Author Rebecca Zanetti!

Bullets and Kisses Can Burn

The last person Anna Albertini expects to see in an orange jumpsuit in District Court—a place she SO doesn't belong as a new prosecuting attorney—is Aiden Devlin, the man who’d saved her life when they were kids. For years, she has dreamed about him. Now here he is—his eyes blue, his chest wide, and his hands in cuffs.

Sure, Aiden says he doesn’t want her help, and his ties to a deadly motorcycle club should give her warning. Yes, her new boss is a sexy Italian bad boy who might be using the case to climb to the top. Plus, the detective assigned to the case, with his green eyes and broad shoulders, wants her to stay out of his way.

With so much testosterone surrounding her all of a sudden, most women would find it hard to concentrate. This might be why the case leads Anna to yelp during a spa appointment, fall out of a tree, and chase a naked old man around the courtroom. It’s a good thing Anna learned a long time ago to be her own hero, no matter how fast the bullets fly or the kisses consume.

MY REVIEW:

Disorderly Conduct was incredibly fun, hilarious, and seriously exciting and I ended up laughing so hard at times from some of the situations Anna found herself in! I am in adoration of Aiden and Anna and this brand new series!

This is my new favorite book by Rebecca Zanetti. Witty, charming, action packed with lots of sizzling heat and plenty of twists, I was constantly smiling and I tried so very hard to make this book last because in all honesty, I did NOT want it to end! I am crazily looking forward to the next book in this new series. I haven't read anything this sexy and fun in a while and I am crushing hard on Aiden and enjoying the many predicaments Anna got herself into. Its such a fun story that has a lot of action. Its downright perfection in my book and I couldn't be more happy with it. I loved the style of writing and enjoyed the way it was written. There is not one single thing I would change about it. Not one!

Disorderly Conduct gets a HILARIOUS AND SIZZLING FIVE GOLDEN STARS!

ARC Review - Slake His Thirst (In Blood, #0.5) by Setta Jay!


BLURB:

THIS SEXY AUDIO STORY WILL BE AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY ON THE READ ME ROMANCE PODCAST MARCH 23, 2020 - JUNE 29, 2020!

Sage has always been a little restless. From bounty hunter to bar owner, she still hasn’t found a purpose she truly enjoys. So, when she’s given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the ultra-exclusive Aletheia resort, Slake, she jumps at the chance to get away and think. As a Mageia whose power is centered in plants and the earth, Sage assumes she’ll be more tempted to see Slake’s magical one-of-a-kind gardens than play with the sexy vampire-like Immortals all over the resort. Only, one beautiful man catches her eye, right before she inadvertently unleashes a savage magic best left dormant.

Lucius is constructing new security plans when he finds himself drawn to a seductive mortal guest at his father’s resort. When he realizes the sexy blonde is a security threat his sister has allowed onto the island, he sets out to learn all her secrets.

When Sage raises ancient magic that could threaten her life, Lucius rushes to save his tempting mystery woman. Only when he nears her does he realize she is the woman he has been waiting thousands of years to find. She is his.

Will the power Sage unleashes destroy her, or does fate have other plans?

MY REVIEW:

OH MY ABSOLUTE HOTNESS, THIS NEW SHORT STORY FROM SETTA JAY IN A BRAND NEW SERIES IS ABSOLUTELY BREATHTAKING AND HOT AS THE FIRES OF THE UNDERWORLD AND COMPLETELY WHETTTED MY APPETITE FOR MORE! 

Slake His Thirst was a white hot temptation that amped up my thirst for more of her PNRs and I am completely smitten with Lucius and Sage was a sassy heroine that I absolutely adored! For such a short story, I was 100% delighted and surprised on how much was in it. I didn't feel cheated nor did I feel like I was missing anything. It was exhilarating and scrumptious and I enjoyed the intense heat level. Reading this story brought back wonderful memories of reading her Guardians Of The Realms series and how much I miss them. This gave me a taste of what is coming up next and I LOVED THE HECK OUT OF IT AND AM BEYOND EXCITED! 

Slake His Thirst gets a MOUTH WATERING FIVE SCORCHING HOOOOOT STARS!

ARC Review - Hutch ( Nightmare Men book 1) by LJ Vickery!



BLURB:


Hutch Bates isn’t fooling anybody. His psychiatric practice is one in name, only. He doesn’t practice, he prescribes. When he’s called out for his transgressions, shock hits hard. His license isn’t revoked, his life is. But he’s given a second chance. He must drastically reset his moral compass while rendering immediate aid to a woman suffering PTSD induced nightmares. If he succeeds, his sentence will be mitigated. If he fails, Hell awaits.  




MY REVIEW:

Damn I wasn't at all prepared for Nightmare Men! Hutch was a thrilling, exhilarating, on the edge of your seat roller coaster ride that left my heart racing madly!

I absolutely NEEDED this kind of read. Intriguing, fascinating, exciting and completely different, this was the kind of exciting escape I haven't gotten in a while with the traditional romances. The story and plot shook things up for me and kept me reeled in from start to finish. The characters are unique and truly fascinating while the story just sucked me in and kept me glued to my seat. LJ Vickery got me REAL GOOD with this brand new book in a brand new series. I absolutely loved how awesome Hutch was. I really have had a hard time getting into some books lately, but with Hutch I didn't feel like I had to force myself through the book. I found myself reading until it was late at night and exhaustion was beating at me, forcing me to put my phone down and step away from the book. But then the first thought in the morning was picking it right back up again where I left off. That makes a world of difference to me and frankly, left me a bit in awe. Awesome read!

Hutch gets a EXHILARTING AND HEART RACING FIVE BIG BOLD STARS!

ARC Review - Demonic Desires by Destiny Diess!



BLURB:

Becoming a queen in Hell isn’t easy—even when you’re sleeping with the Devil.

Armed with her tempting incubus boyfriend, Eros, and a dangerous, demonic power of her own, Dani is prepared to lead one of the most powerful kingdoms in Hell.

She’s strong, smart, and so damn good at doing the one thing her virtuous mother told her never to do: sin.

But, even in Hell, sinning comes at a cost… and that cost may be Dani’s sanity. She faces the three biggest threats of her life in the Underworld:

A kingdom in chaos.
A bitter best friend.
And a demon out for a wrathful revenge.

Will Dani and Eros be able to survive the madness that comes with leading the Kingdom of Lust? Or will they crumble to pieces from the pressure of it all?

Demonic Desires is a steamy paranormal romance written by Destiny Diess. It is the second book in the Becoming Lust Trilogy and cannot be read as a standalone.

MY REVIEW:

Lusty appetites, action packed adventure, surprising turns and an ending that left me slack-jawed! Oh this second book of Destiny Diess's Lust Trilogy is WILDLY ENTERTAINING AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN AND SO SEXY AND HOT TO THE MAX! 

I am so in love with Dani and Eros! This hero and heroine are damn tempting and fascinating and the chemistry between them sizzles. I loved the twists and the turns. Everything about this book kept me on my toes and had me eagerly flipping the pages. I couldn't get enough and I found myself reading this book far to fast. I can't wait for the third one!

Demonic Desires gets a HOT TO THE MAX FIVE SCORCHING STARS!

ARC Review - Warriors Of Stone: A Paranormal Gargoyle Shifter Trilogy by Emma Alisyn!


MY REVIEW:

Emma Alisyn's gargoly shifter stories are wildly entertaining, fun, sexy, adventurous with characters that are interesting and full of life and passion and the plots range from action packed and sexy to a slower pace and simmering. 

I honestly wished I picked these books up sooner! I fell in love with these strong and capable and alpha heroes and I really liked the heroines. They are beautiful, smart and they would make amazing friends if in RL if they were real. The stories themselves were hard to put down. When one book ended, I found myself continuing immediately into the next one without pausing because I was becoming addicted. These are all well written and fantastic reads!

These Warriors of Stone gets a WILD FOUR AND A HALF SEXY AND FUN STARS!

ARC Review - Ms. Off Limits by Loni Ree!


BLURB:

New town, new life, new temptation…

Sebastian Mackenzie
My family thinks I’ve lost my mind when I pack up and move to Bay Isle, Florida. And honestly, I can’t even explain it myself. I do know that after my two-week vacation, I can’t picture living anywhere else. Something draws me to the area, and I’m going with my instincts. On my first day as principal at the local high school, everything becomes clear when the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen is introduced to me. Things get really complicated, though, because she’s Sadie Nicholson, one of the math teachers who works for me, making her completely off-limits. One look and I know she’s mine. I’m expected to follow many rules, but the hardest one will be fighting my feelings for her. After all, everything in me is shouting to turn her from Ms. Off Limits to Mrs. Mackenzie.
 You may remember Sebastian Mackenzie from The Sweet Beginnings Series. He’s moved away and found a new home and “the one.” Now, he’s going to fight to keep the woman who’s stolen his heart.

MY REVIEW:

Its time to go back to school with this hot and sexy story from Loni Ree featuring a hot AF principal and his off limits math teacher! WOOOOOWZA! What a mouth watering, fun, crackling with heat romance and a plot that is straight up 10/10! 

Sebastian made it impossible for me not to find him sexy and his alpha-ness made him a complete swoon worthy hero that I found myself getting weak in the knees over. And Sadie was a sweetheart and at the same time she was sassy and the way she made Sebastian go all caveman, made her perfect and incredibly likeable. I could easily see myself being friends with her if she were a real person, that's how much I liked her. This was a fun romance with LOOOTS of heat and feels. This was utter perfection!

Ms. Off Limits gets a SEXY AND FUN FIVE SWOON WORTHY STARS! 

ARC Review - Healing Of The Wolf (The Wild Hunt Legacy Book 5) by Cherise Sinclair!



BLURB:

A decade in captivity tore away all hope.

But Margery never lost her resolve to help the sick. The village she’d hoped to serve as banfasa, caring for the ill and injured, is long gone. Humans captured the young shifters and killed the adults. Finally rescued, she has a chance at her dreams—at least for meaningful work. With her leg crippled and her face scarred, she knows she has no hope of ever finding love.

Tynan is ready to find their mate.

After years away from his littermate as a police officer among humans, Tynan is finally home, a beta in the wolf pack, and serving his people as a law officer. Assigned as Margery’s mentor in the pack, he patiently works to earn the skittish little wolf’s trust. Her captivity has left her with problems, including a fear of uniforms. But he’s a fixer at heart—and he’s starting to want more from the gentle female than just friendship.

Donal has no intention of making a family.

Separated from his littermate for years, Donal has remained unmated, devoting his energies to healing. Believing ugly rumors about their new neighbor—a banfasa—he won't have her in his clinic or his life—no matter what his newly returned brother wants.

But a feral shifter’s attack on Tynan shows Margery in a whole different light. She’s levelheaded, compassionate, sweet—and far too appealing. What male could resist her?

But even as the brothers work to win their mate, cruel forces move to crush their entire clan.

MY REVIEW:

Cherise Sinclair's newest Wild Hunt Legacy book made me fall in love, had me aching and wanting more and left me a gooey mess and I crave SO MUCH MORE! 

Healing Of The Wolf was extradentary and breathtaking and the chemistry was like a live wire, charged and leaves a person exhilarated and on edge. The heat level was a full on 10 and the characters were amazing and unique and incredible and the story was mesmerizing! The way Miss Sinclair brings everything to life within these pages fills my soul with light and happiness. There was a great love story, edge worthy action and suspense and the sex was a five alarm fire HOT! Once I started this I didn't, for the life of me, want to put it down! Its one of the most memorable PNR I have found and a definite favorite in the Wild Hunt Legacy series. 

Healing Of The Wolfe gets a EXTRAODINARY FIVE RED HOT STARS!

Guarding a precocious five-year-old who is half-human, half-god, and 100% destined to save the world is no easy feat.
Garrett Swopes was the ultimate skeptic until he met a certain hellion and her husband. They vanished after stopping a catastrophic event and left him, a mere mortal, in charge of protecting their gift to mankind. But when she disappears as well, he needs the help of another breed of hellion. One who can see past the veil of space and time. One who betrayed him.
She will get a truce in the deal, but she will never earn his forgiveness.
Marika Dubois’s son—a warrior in the coming war between heaven and hell—was foreseen long before his birth. But to create a child strong enough to endure the trials that lay ahead, she needed a descendant of powerful magics. She found that in Garrett Swopes and tricked him into fathering her son. A ploy he has never forgiven her for. But when he knocks on her door asking for her help, she sees the fierce attraction he tries to deny rise within him.
And Marika has to decide if she dares risk her heart a second time to help the only man she’s ever loved.

ARC Review - Never Gonna Happen by Cynthia Eden!


BLURB:

No. Absolutely not. He will not fall in love with his best-friend’s little sister. He is not that guy.

So…yeah, okay, Alyssa Kyle is gorgeous and funny, and she’s slipped into more than a few of his fantasies over the years, but Sebastian Ridgeway is not about to cross that particular line. No way. No day.

Today is the day.

Alyssa’s in trouble. Someone shot at her—actually shot at her—and now she’s getting all kinds of threatening messages. Messages that say she’s about to pay for her brother’s crimes. Only her brother is a computer gaming designer, not some secret agent. The bad guys out there have obviously made a mistake.

There is no mistake.

Sebastian and Alyssa’s brother, Antony, have been working the spy game for years. They started as hacking teens but graduated to the big leagues—and their gaming company is just their cover. Apparently, their cover has been blown. Now some of the bad guys they’ve taken down want payback—and Alyssa is being targeted. Her brother is out of the country, gone dark on an assignment, and Sebastian can’t just leave Alyssa on her own to face the wolves. Not happening. So…

Time to get close.

He moves Alyssa into his home. Provides twenty-four seven protection for her. He figures he can keep his secret desire for her in check—he’s done it for years, after all—or at least, that’s the initial plan. Until he finds out that Alyssa has been longing for him. That he’s starred in more than a few of her fantasies, too.

All bets are off.

He’s held back for years, thinking he was doing the right thing. Thinking he’d never truly deserve a woman like her. But if Alyssa wants him, if Alyssa needs him, nothing will stop him from claiming the woman who owns his heart. Not the bad guys who are closing in, not the government who wants his tech, and not even Alyssa’s big brother.

Keep his hands off her? Stay away from Alyssa? Sorry, that’s…NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.

Absolutely, one hundred percent…Sebastian will not let her go, and he will prove that he is the guy—the only one—for her.

MY REVIEW:

AN UNPUTDOWNABLE, DELIGHTFUL, SEXY AND ACTION PACKED ROMANCE THAT I ENJOYED WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING!

Cynthia Eden's latest romance had me heart racing and melting and had me eagerly flipping the pages. Sebastian is a super hot and alpha spy that had me hot and bothered while Alyssa was a truly sweet, strong, beautiful to her soul heroine that I would love to call friend. And their romance was so epic and fun and full of suspense and sexy times as well as some humorous moments that made me smile. I honestly found myself reading this book waaaaaay too fast because it was SO GOOD! This book really had it all and then some and I will singing praises about Never Gonna Happen for DAAAAYS!

Never Gonna Happen gets a UNPUTDOWNABLE FIVE SCORCHING HOT, SUSPENSEFUL STARS!

ARC Review - First Touch (Passport 2 Love First) by Loni Ree!

BLURB:

Zander Burton
Never trust a woman and make sure you’re never stupid enough to give your heart to one. I’ve always lived by these words, then Rachel Marsh crashed into my life. It only took one night, one touch for the gorgeous blonde to make me ignore the rule I’d followed my whole life. The next morning, I found the strength to ignore my heart and walk away even though a little voice told me I was making the biggest mistake of my life. 

Rachel Marsh
I escape one violent jerk only to find “the one.” At least, I give my heart to him only to have him stomp it the next day when he turns into the next jerk in my life. Zander’s hot and cold act grows old really fast, and I’m going to get my life together with the help of my new family and leave both the jerks in my past behind me.
 
When Zander finally wakes up and figures out he’s been living by a crazy rule, he’s way too late. Now, he’s got his work cut out for him if he has any chance of winning Rachel’s heart again. He’s going to take matters into his own hands and take her away for some time alone so she can hear what he has to say. He doesn’t care if she goes willingly or not.


MY REVIEW:

Oh how I do enjoy a good growly, arsehole-ish alpha who ends up falling in love with the beautiful and gentle heroine and who has to win her back after messing things up! In other words, this was a fantastic second chance romance that had passion and action and some good humor and heart. 

Zander at first glance, seems like a major jerk...and ok, maybe he definitely was but my goodness, his hotness and protective and hot and cold manner made my pulse race and my thighs tremble and had butterflies swarming in my tummy! And Rachel, this heroine made me want to hug her hard. She was a kind and strong heroine and incredibly brave and watching her bring Zander to his knees made this one incredibly sexy story. This is the kind of storyline I can't get enough of. It is a slow burn that comes on strong and hot and then pulls back just enough to keep the heat going and then comes back again hotter and stronger than ever. I loved it so much! Zander and Rachel made my heart so happy and I loved watching them together and really loved the fact Zander had to win her back. Awesome stuff!

First Touch gets a DELIROUSLY GOOD FIVE SPECTACULAR STARS!
