 I was so excited to read Gannon’s book, he’s always been in the background. As the oldest and the president of Brewer Group he’s seemed so elusive. And Carys, Tate’s BFF and entrepreneur is just sassy and I love it. After Carys spilled her drink all over Gannon she still pitches him her services for plant care. The innuendo filled the banter was top-tier. I was cackling, because Carys has a way with her flirty words. Finding out that they both secretly lust after the other was a pleasant surprise. Carys has no problem asking for what she wants and eventually you hope Gannon caves. Carys relationship with her dad made me so emotional, I just wanted to hug her. This book has all the things you could want best friends brother, banter and lots of yummy spice. Angelina Rocco and Jack Callihan were a great fit to bring this book to life.

Whenever you read a Q.B. Tyler book you just know you will get a delicious forbidden romance. And The Nanny is Off Limits is just as super hot as I thought it would be. Stephen Dexter has the most mouthwatering voice, it gave me goosebumps and was the perfect Rowan. Audrey Obeyn was the perfect mix of sweet and sassy that matched Ellie’s personality. This is a great story of how a Elianna and Rowan found themselves in an employee/boss situation all the while both wanting each other. The spice is red hot, and oh so yummy. Watching how Ellie fell in love with the kids and vice versa was heartwarming. But you know Q.B. Tyler had to add in some drama and lots of spice. I was rooting for Elianna and Rowan the whole book and that epilogue had me giggling! So so good!!

Something Borrowed, Something You started all kinda of fun and flirting. Vi Keeland has a way to write books that are not only fun and spicy but also have a great plot that makes you feel all the feelings. When Nat (Natalia) and Hunter meet there was a ridiculous amount of flirting and banter at Nat’s besties wedding. Hunter is so sure of himself and has a yummy dirty, dirty mouth. When they made a no strings attached agreement neither of them thought it would turn in to more. There was so much spice and emotion in this book that I was both hot and bothered and tearing up. Vi Keeland delivers never lets me down and Something Borrowed , Something You is a winner.

The Never List is absolutely everything! I initially picked it up because it was a spicy why choose fantasy book. But the plot and every single character from Ivy and Mirren to Rylee and Legends of Chaos gave it so much depth. I loved the way this fantasy book had great world building without taking up chapters and chapters doing it. I felt connected to Rylee and her besties Ivy and Layce and the sisterhood they shared. And our FMC Rylee is not only an amazing friend/sister she also has secrets she’s hiding. And The Princes of Lumathyst, I was in lust with all four of them but Jax (The Nightmare) was my favorite. What can I say, I like’em dark.  Rylee was on a mission to find her sister and used a forged invitation to the choosing just to get a peek at royal records. She didn’t want to be chosen, she wanted answers, but you bet lucky #13 was chosen by Jax. I loved learning about each of the princes lands and what made them special. Pierce ,The Mind  (Emerald Wood) had to ability to look in to your mind. Axl, The Player (Sapphire Cove) lead the ability to control water. Jax, The Nightmare (The Obsidian City) could sense your emotions and make you live your fears. Kal, The Dreamer (Ruby Aire) had the ability to fly. I started this last night at 7 and then stayed up until 3am devouring every single word. And when I got to the cliffhanger, lots of pillow punching. I was beside myself! 5 stars!!

I knew I needed to read Mine to Share when I saw it was a suspense romance, and I was not disappointed. I don’t usually read books like this but it sounds too good to pass up. We have a super smart Medical Examiner, serial killer, horrible ex-husband, a hot FBI Profiler and a hot detective. Rain (FMC) found a link with several murders in her town. Detective Slade (MMC) called in help from the FBI and they sent FBI Profiler Jameson (MMC). I loved that the crime that brought them all together kept us guessing and asking questions the whole book. I also really liked that Rain was the center of attention for both Slade and Jameson (MFM). Watching these three navigate their relationship was fun and of so spicy.

So I’ve loved every book in the Boston’s Irresistible Billionaires series but I think Undeniably Enemies is my favorite!! You “meet” at a Halloween party (both masked) , you share a special drink called til death do you part. Then you are going at it against a wall, super hot and heavy. As if that isn’t yummy enough, he unmasks Cinderella and sees none other than his best friend’s little sister!! But do they stop….nope! So hot. I always love the way J. Saman writes these great stories that just suck you in. The plot is great and I love the whole Fritz family, so it’s nice that some old friends made cameos. The audio narrators Teddy Hamilton and Samantha Brentmoor are so good. Samantha always takes characters on in a way that makes you just love them. And Teddy’s voice is just the yummiest, he could read the phone book and it would be hot. These two really made Undeniably Enemies come alive for me.

Hidden Memories lets us watch two kids( Santi and Kat) fall in love just to be torn apart. Happily to come back together after all the years and lies was just so gratifying. The small town vibe with a close knit community is perfection. There is so much suspense with who ever is after Kat, that my heart was pounding and my palms were sweaty. I didn’t think I would be on the edge of my seat the while reading Hidden Memories but I was. The story grabs you and doesn’t let go and i love every second of it. If the epilogue and bonus scene gave me a beautiful glimpse in to the future of Santi, Kat and their family. So good!

What can I say , The Girlfriend Zone was a banger (in every sense of the word). The duet narration by Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor was perfection. Jason’s voice was delicious and captured Miles’s (MMC) personally to a T. Samantha was exactly what I pictured for Leighton (FMC), kind, sweet, sassy and vulnerable. I loved the hearing impaired rep, especially the explanations on Leighton type. Miles is my new top book boyfriend, he’s sweet, thoughtful, caring, and a tiger in the sheet.  The coaches daughter trope just adds to the forbidden yumminess of the situation. 5 -Stars all day long.

I be been anxiously waiting for Kiss The Villian and in true Rina Kent style it exceeded expectations. The plot was super intriguing and I couldn’t have guessed all the background and in-site that we get on Gareth. Like I was listening with my mouth hanging open and my mind blown. Rina you are giving me everything I wanted and more. Kaden’s  dominance was ridiculously hot, and when he called him little monster I almost melted. I love how Gareth was totally obsessed with Kayden and vice vera. The reason that brought these two together I didn’t see coming either. The full cast on the audio book was perfection, they made me feel the obsession, love and heartbreak. I don’t know how Rina keeps giving us these freaking amazing books but she does and I hope she never stops.

Wild Irish Rose was such a fun romantic book. I loved the way that Trevor (MMC) was sent in to make a deal to buy land from Becca (FMC) but the moment he laid eyes on her he was smitten and looking for more than just land. And as much as she loved how much in common she and Trevor had once she heard his last name she tossed him out. She was fiery and strong willed and wasn’t going to budge no matter what she was offered. I fell in love with this love story and how Trevor’s family loved Becca. But the star in the story for me was Buttercup, she had me cackling like a   witch with her antics. Wild Irish Rose was exactly what you expect from Ava Miles, an amazing plot with a swoon worthy romance.
