This is an enjoyable romantic story. Nobody forgets that first crush. Even when life takes you in different directions, that first love (even if unrequited) always remains embedded in your heart.

Natalie is recently divorced, which isn’t the ideal time to sink into a deep meaningful relationship. Can a stubborn and independent woman allow herself to let someone in, to stand by her side, and love her?

After being apart for eight years, it is difficult to change the pattern and turn a friendship into something more. Chase is patient, caring, thoughtful, and very good looking. Can Chase be brave enough to claim what he really wants?

Penelope Ward – Roomhate

May 18, 2016May 18, 2016 lizellyn Books Hot Rock Star Hero

This book is so amazing it may have ruined all other books for me. Okay, maybe not forever, but I really can’t image picking up another book today. I want to sit and relish in this amazing bliss that the most perfect happily ever after has brought to me.

This book made me reconsider how I actually rate books. I considered changing the scale based on how irritated I get when someone or something interrupts me reading. If the scale was from 1-10 and a 10 indicated that I would be driven to yell at someone or physically slam a door in their face to keep them from interrupting me – ROOMHATE is a 10!

The tension between Justin and Amelia is perfect and makes you ache. Justin is sexy, endearing, kind, hotly jealous, and all around amazing. Amelia is strong and a wonderful combination of independent and insecure. They make a great couple.

I don’t want to give too much away, because I plan on gifting this book to many of my friends.

THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK!

Shayla Black and Lexi Blake – Scandal Never Sleeps

May 18, 2016May 18, 2016 lizellyn Books Rich Racy & Romantic Romeos, Suspense

The OH SO SEDUCTIVE narration by Kaleo Griffith is absolutely panty-meltingly amazing. Mix that with some incredibly hot dialog and it is sure to make any reader completely hot and bothered.

The suspense part of this novel is sensational. It is anything but predictable and fabulously so.

The perfect gentlemen are a group of powerful and rich men that have known each other since they were kids. The bond between them defines the word brotherhood.

While I have categorized this book under Rich Racy Romeos, I like how the money doesn’t play into the seduction between Gabe and Eve. In fact, it almost works against Gabriel.

I absolutely love the setting as one scene takes place in a brownstone in New York that it was used as a speakeasy during prohibition. I love how it fits so nicely into the story and assists with the character development and history.

I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.

Helena Hunting – Pucked Up

May 12, 2016May 12, 2016 lizellyn Books Strong Sexy Supermale

This is the second in this fun highly sexually charged series. This book mostly takes place in Canada during the hockey off season. If you’re a fan of another hockey team besides the Blackhawks, this book is less in your face pro Blackhawks (a welcome change for a Blues fan).

Despite the fact that Sunny and Miller actually haven’t sealed the deal at the beginning of the book, doesn’t mean that the story lacks sexual tension. First off, the secondary characters provide quite a bit of guilty pleasure sexcapades. Secondly, the greater the anticipation, the greater the sexual heat.

My favorite part of this book is the funny banter between Buck and his sister Violet. They tend to over share a lot about their respective sex lives and other intimate issues.

Brian C. Copper – The Room

May 6, 2016May 6, 2016 lizellyn Books BDSM, M/M, Spicy Stories to Savor

Synopsis:

David and Max meet during the worst snowstorm in recent history when Max, a patrolman in the fictional town of Fullerton, MA becomes stranded at David’s house.

Max soon discovers that David has a secret BDSM playroom in his basement and their adventures begin, bringing them closer as they discover new things about themselves and each other.

Other characters are introduced with time jumps into David’s past, as story lines interweave throughout, exploring various sexual themes between adult gay men.

Review:

This isn’t a typical gay romance story. It’s gritty in both an emotional and sexual sense.

There are varying levels of BDSM scattered throughout the book. The author is extremely descriptive. I may be female (so I can’t truly understand) but one part in particular had me screaming in my head, “That’s got to hurt!”

David doesn’t just serve as a Dom that stages scenes and dishes out pain and pleasure. He’s also serves as a “spiritual guider” in the sense that he helps these men open themselves up to accepting their own desires.

The style of this book reminded me of the movie Valentine’s Day where a lot of tangential characters weave themselves together. It is not until the very end that all the connections are made. Well done!

Lastly, the aspect that I liked the most was the author’s cheeky way with words that is speckled throughout the book.

“Read Again” Option for Goodreads

May 5, 2016 lizellyn Bookish

I wish that Goodreads would add the option of choosing “Read Again.” If someone likes a book enough to read it again, it is a way to distinguish the best of all the 5 star books. Also, if you are tracking the books that you read, you can include multiple dates of finishing the book. Thus, you could keep the original date and at the same time the book could be counted towards reading challenges for multiple years.

I love the Goodreads site. If you don’t have an account – check it out. It’s a great way to find books similar to other books you like. Allows you to follow favorite authors. And, allows you to easily keep track of books you have read and those that you want to read.

RELEASE DAY: Samantha A. Cole – Whiskey Tribute (Trident Security Novella Book 5.5)

May 4, 2016May 4, 2016 lizellyn Books Military, Strong Sexy Supermale

This novella diverges from the modus operandi of the full length novels of the Trident Security. Don’t worry – all the heat that’s expected is included. It’s just of a different flavor. I really like the contrast to the other books because it highlights the positive similarities and acceptable differences.

With kids in the mix, there’re added challenges for their relationship. It just forces Curt and Dana to get a little more creative in a fun way.

In the other books, the retired SEALs prove to be incredibly sexy and unbelievably competent. Here, the team shows how good hearted they are.

As an added note, after reading the book, I absolutely love the title!

Dani René – Between Love and Fire

May 4, 2016May 4, 2016 lizellyn Books Hot Rock Star Hero

I give the steamy scenes in this book two thumbs up. Actually, after reading this book I considered a more crude type of rating but I like to keep the blog more PG than R.

Callum Hayes is the epitome of the hot rock star, but after he falls for Tayla he shows an unbelievably sincere side. His considerate side is even more sexy than his six pack abs.

Tayla is a cool character that is brave enough to reveal herself to Callum.

The romance that insures is a fun ride with an extremely romantic end.
