Chasing Temptation by Scarlett Avery

Holy Heck, it just got real hot in here.....and it's winter where I am. When the spice, spiced in this, it was so good. This was my first book from this author, and I did enjoy this. This is a MFM so if this is not something you like, please don't read.

Amelia is the seemingly demure, sheltered daughter of the current Prime Minister. In a drunken moment, she falls literally into the path of Holden and Brandon, two rather delicious ex Navy S.E.A.L.S who have become self made billionaires in their tech business. They are best friends, and have been since they were children, both coming from pretty tragic and sad upbringing. They are as close as brothers can be, and have shared women in the past, but Amelia is something different and special. Of course, they first need to know who she is, and then convince her to try it their way. I am not going to share spoilers, but if this sounds like something you would enjoy, will let's just say, you won't be disappointed.

This book was a little long, but I did love the 3 POV's given, and, as I have said, that spice just hits, and she is good. Makes you want your own Holden and Brandon. I am keen to read more from Scarlett and thank you for bringing the goods, to the point, no long sleeves were required to be worn here in NZ, during winter.
Sweet Surrender by Missy Walker

Noah and Sienna continue the series of Elite Heirs in Book 2. These two are apparent enemies, from an incident during their years at high school which saw Sienna hurt and humiliated by her brothers best friend, Noah. This is something she has held on too, so unless it is "family" related (because if you have read the Elite Men Series you know they are all close) Sienna does not pretend.

Sienna, in this book, finds herself the "saviour" to Noah, as his bad behaviour seemingly catches up with him, and Sienna needs to PR the shit out of that to save, not only Noah's business but is reputation in business. But, little do they know, a chance meeting, under the cover of darkness, masks, an elite club of all things spicy, and no words spoken, they make a connection that neither can forget. In fact, it leaves them wanting more. Holy moly and when they spice......well this is where the trope of enemies to lovers is just so delicious.

I am a huge fan of Missy Walker, and am honoured to ARC read this, after reading and enjoying previous series, including the one that sparked this, so can highly recommend.
I Wanna Savvy B Free: Wine & Rock -n- Roll by Carolina Jax, Carolina Jax

I love Carolina's writing, and this cute novella, does not disappoint in anyway. It fuses music and wine, perfect all round I say.

Freddie is our rock and roll man, he is delicious, quick with the quips and commentary, loves wine and, loves what he sees in Journey. Freddie is that golden retriever, loveable, and initially for Journey, she is like WTF.

Journey works at the bar that Freddie and his group, Under Rhaps, is performing at. Journey guards her heart like a pit bull, and initially meeting Freddie its a hold on tight kind of moment. Of course when he sings, that heart of hers skips a beat, but a past hurt that she hasn't fully recovered from keeps her guarded. But our Freddie knows, that Journey has a certain kind of magic.

This beautiful novella, is a quick delicious read, and I did not want it to end. When it spiced, well it spiced you up good and proper, and if you need someone to play sweet music with, well look no further then Freddie, he will rock you.
Wretched Choices by Mila Chase

Well first and foremost, I NEED THAT SECOND BOOK ASAP. OMG I devoured this book, as Salvatore had me in a choke hold good and proper. I love dark/unhinged romance, and this fit that brief.

Isobel/Isabella is a journalist, having escaped the life she was born into, and trying to bring "the bad guys down" at the same time. However, in her desire to do this, she doesn't plan on being undone by the dark and delicious Salvatore. Their first encounter is nothing short of hot. But, what is he hiding.

Salvatore is a "legitimate business owner", but he is also head of the Mafia, so there is darkness, and as the book unfold, we become aware how deep that darkness goes and reasons why. He is enamoured with Isobel, and of course wants to know everything about her, so imagine his surprise when he finds out the life she has tried so hard to cover up. This plays well into the deal he strikes with her, after him and his organisation are threatened by those loyal to his Father.

The last few chapters of this book, literally broke me, had me crying, and I did not see it coming. Hence why I cannot wait for the second book. Salvatore and Isabella's connection is so delicious and spicy, and from the very first time, OMG it's just so hot. The chemistry is off the charts, and I don't know about you, but a possessive/alpha arsehole can definitely pop into my wheelhouse any old time. Wow wow WOW. Highly Recommend.
Run, Rabbit, Run by Juniper Hartmann

This book was unexpected in how it was written, fascinating in its content, and I am left struggling to find words to describe this. It is nothing like I have ever read, and you need to read those triggers. The content is heavy. I would describe as quite the psychological ride that, it is not until the last couple of chapters, I found clarity.

Bunny (Barbara) is literally a captive bunny rabbit under the 'control' of Demetrius. This book from the first few pages has ensnared the reader which had me teetering between "I can't read this" to "I can't stop reading this", something I don't experience often, as a reader. This was a real baptism within the BDSM community, but I feel Juniper has done an amazing job to showcase this in a light, and to show its validity, if this is something you want, or wish to explore. I think, even if this is not your cup of tea, seeing and understanding how it can be for another, is what I have taken away from in this book, hence I felt that it deserved four stars. Thank you Juniper for bringing me something different, and to find an understanding in a world that has been hidden, but like anything in this world, and thru choice, has its place.
