Daddy's Addiction by BJ Alpha

5.0

Tommy has been told that his step daughter Jade will be spending 6 weeks with him. Tommy never knew she existed so why would he want to know her now? He thinks that he can find a babysitter to deal with Jade. Then he sees her...

Tommy is so misunderstood. I want to jump through the book and save him. Jade just wants to be loved and wanted. The first time Tommy meets Jade doesn't go how I imagined it would at all. I love Tommy's reaction to Jade calling him "Daddy" for the first time. The party was brilliant on Jade's part. I definitely felt her humiliation when she wanted to go to the store. I'm in love with this book. It's extremely spicy. I'm going to recommend this to everyone. 

Interception by Fiona Davenport

5.0

The second Ember sees Nixon she knows she's in trouble. She knows she can't be with her best friend's brother Nixon so she keeps her feelings hidden. Her friend Naomi tries to set her up with someone and Nixon isn't having it. What do you do when the one you want to be with wants you back?

When Nixon calls Ember baby my heart flutters. I feel bad that Ember had to hide her feelings from Naomi. The day they met was definitely not what I expected. Nixon didn't have to be rude but I get why he was. When Ember went to go on a blind date I couldn't believe what Nixon did. I love how Nixon is such a caveman. This may be a short book but it is perfect. 

Claiming Juliet by C.L. Strickland, C.L. Strickland

3.0

Juliet has never found that one person who completes her. She needs more than most guys can handle. She's closed herself off from love so she doesn't get hurt. Then she sees the most attractive man while taking care of her friend. How do you keep your walls up when someone else is trying so hard to break them down? You don't.

Juliet is so sweet and I feel bad that she's closed herself off. Timothy is the definition of a Daddy. I'm obsessed with the fact that Timothy winks at her. I adore that he knows what he wants and he's not afraid to go after it. Skyler's welcome home party was definitely a cat hunting a mouse. I love the dates they went on. I will say that I'm not a fan of the fact that he calls her "little lady". I feel like there were so many points where I was left hanging on the edge and then the scene just ends. It's still a cute story. Very steamy.

Faker by L.A. Wayward

Thanks to LA Wayward for this arc in exchange for an honest review

Storm's ex built up so much debt in her name that she may lose her apartment and possibly much more. She figures she'll go out with a friend to the underground poker joint and cheat the system by counting cards. What could do wrong? Everything...

The fact that Minki calls her kitten warms my heart. The night she counts the cards is interesting. How Minki handles the situation is a little much. I adore the fact that they all think she can't understand anyone speaking Korean. The shower scene was scary and cute at the same time. His brothers are nice but I love cat so much. I don't like the lack of names at the beginning. I couldn't figure out who anyone was. I wanted to know more about Minki. This is extremely spicy. 

Frostfully Yours by Breanne Bergie

5.0

Wynter finds her fiance and best friend being intimate together on her wedding day. While trying to run away she runs right into her now ex's dad Nick. Nick agrees to help Wynter get out of there. Nick gets her some wine as requested. What happens after the wine kicks in and you don't remember what happens next?

I love how Nick calls her sugarplum and Wynter calls him hubby. I feel horrible that Wynter was cheated on. No one deserves to be hurt like that. Getting drunk to the point where you can't remember anything is never a good idea. It may be fun at the time but you'll regret it in the morning. I couldn't believe that not only is Nick her ex's dad but also her dad's best friend. I'm obsessed with how much Nick calls Wynter his wife. When he kissed her wedding band I melted. I didn't see that twist coming at all. What a cute holiday read!

Baby Inheritance by McKenna James

DNF. This just wasn't for me.

Their Dark Rose by Eva Marks

5.0

I received this arc in exchange for an honest review 

After an accident that Briar's dad caused, Briar was picked up from school by her 3 godfathers. Years later she thinks that they still hate her. Briar notices her feelings for Mason, Finn and Falk start to change but she knows they'll never feel the same. Her 18th birthday begins in a way she never expected. 

I'm in love with the nicknames they give her. Briar is so precious. No one deserves to have parents who don't care about you. The way we meet Mason, Finn and Falk was definitely not how I thought it would go. When Briar had to read her poem out loud I knew things were about to go down. I feel horrible that years later she's still having nightmares. These men don't disappoint in any aspect. The mouths on these men are perfect. I never wanted this story to end.

This is such a brilliant book that I'm giving it 6 stars. I've only given that to one other book in the last 6 years I've been reading and this deserves it. The nicknames were on point. The banter was perfect. The way these men talk to her makes my heart melt. I couldn't ask for a better book. Eva knows how to pull you into a book and spit you out a different person. I was paying too much attention to reading that I forgot to take notes after 25% in. I will definitely be rereading this over and over again.

Thank you Eva Marks for writing this masterpiece!

Knocked Up by Stacey Lynn

4.0

Cara has never had a one night stand before. At her best friend's wedding she hooks up with the grooms friend. She wakes up thinking how much of a disaster she is. A few weeks later she finds out that she left with more than she bargained for. 

I love how Cara wanted Braxton to know he's going to be a father. I feel awful that Braxton really thinks that Cara thought being with him is a disaster. Cara's first time in the tattoo shop definitely didn't go how she planned. Hospital visits are never fun but needed when you faint. Pregnancy symptoms are no joke. The way they flirt makes me melt. I adore how they both were at each ultrasound appointment. I despise her parents. This was a good read. 

Saving the Game by Susan Renee

5.0

Quinton is at the bar with his teammates. He overhears a woman telling her mom that she's dating him. He's intrigued. He listens to the whole conversation and goes up to her. This is too good of an opportunity for him to pass up. 

Kinsley is a sweetheart. I hate that her parents treat her so badly. Quinton deserves the world. He went through so much with his ex. I love how Kinsley and Quinton met. How funny is it to hear that you're in a relationship when you're really not. The emoji thing was cute. Dinner with her parents is hysterical. Game night was amazing. I couldn't believe the coconut scene! I really enjoyed this.

I Temporarily Do by Ellie Cahill

3.0

Emmy has fallen victim to a scam artist. Because of this she'll be homeless if she can't find a place in the next few days. Beckett's fiance broke off their engagement. He's no longer qualified for married student housing. What do they do now? 

Emmy is a nice girl that just can't catch a break. Beckett is a sweetheart and deserves so much better. It's so sweet that Beckett took the time to comfort Emmy when he was hurting too. The morning after drinking is always the worst. At least the staff at the restaurant could help them feel better. I feel for Emmy when she got overwhelmed with everything you need to buy for a new place. Adulting is hard. This was an okay read.
