Samantha A. Cole – Take the Money and Run
This is a great little romantic suspense book. Don’t be turned off by the less than stimulating cover.
This is a perfect summer read: hot romance at a cool oceanside cottage. The author writes in such a way that the words flow and you can’t put down the book. The pace is perfect, the suspense is captivating, and the romantic elements are loving in a hot kind of way.
In this book, the author departs from her original series, Trident Security, where a group of men own a sex club. There’s still a criminal suspense element in this story and one SEAL, but the sex is much more vanilla. That’s not to say that’s it is boring. The steamy scenes are delicious as you can feel the desire that the characters hold for each other.

Katy Evans – Legend
Great book and a fabulous end to the series. While I’m sad that this series finally came to an end, there’s some consolation in the fact the ending was spectacular.
I have to give the author credit for this book because both characters are quiet people that don’t talk a lot. That presents quite a challenge for putting together a story. Nonetheless, I felt like I knew a lot about the characters. I love how the author slowly reveals all the facets of the characters.
The anticipation for when Maverick and Miles meet kept me on pins and needles throughout the book. (No, this isn’t a spoiler but it was inevitable that they would collide). Sorry, I won’t tell you what happened, but I promise you’ll love it.
I’m a huge fan of this series that started with Real. For fans of the series, both Remy and Racer have a place in this book. YAY! If you haven’t read this series, it’s a great time to start.

But Nick has a dark, sexual side to him that he discovers after his brother is incarcerated for supposed sex crimes. In an attempt to understand his brother and the girls Jamie had been found with, Nick discovers a depravity of his own.
Guilt over Jamie’s conviction and subsequent jail term plagues Nick and creates an inner beast that demands attention. The type that can be found at the hands of a dominatrix. Very aware that his two worlds need to be kept separate, Nick plays the role of the complete gentleman in public, maintaining a flawless persona, whilst his activity behind closed doors gives him the outlet he requires to hold all the pieces together.
Creating and ideal that he tries to live by, Nick starts dating Kiera, a quiet admin assistant, who’s breeding and upbringing make her the perfect partner to raise him higher in aristocratic circles. Kiera is sweet and pretty but when Nick meets Sue, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her. Nick is driven to distraction with his own feelings for Sue and finds that he needs to rethink his whole life plan. Does he want the “perfect” life, or does he want to be truly happy?
Review
This is a great story with a remarkable blend of romance, heat, regret, jealousy, inner turmoil, and a touch of love of animals.
There are plenty of overlapping story lines to keep the pace moving. The unexpected twists kept it interesting, too.
The steamy scenes were hot enough to ignite a barn fire.
If you like spicy romance, this is a must read book.

Zoe York – Love in a Small Town
Synopsis
Six years. Two break-ups. One divorce. They should be over each other.
Rafe Minelli knows better than to tell his wife no, particularly since they aren’t married anymore. She can’t hightail it out of town, though, not when they’ve finally broken through the post-divorce cold war status quo.
Olivia Minelli needs to leave Pine Harbour. It’s just too hard to see Rafe moving on without her – even if he says he doesn’t want to. But when a new and exciting job falls into her lap, she needs to choose: protect her heart, or take the new job and risk getting emotionally entangled with her ex-husband. Again.
Review
This story may take place in a small town, but there’s nothing small about the love affair between Rafe and Liv.
Rafe is determined to win back the affections of his ex-wife. He starts off by making a colossal mistake but more than makes up for it. His romantic acts are the reason why romance books are written.
I really like feel of the small town in this book. It doesn’t offer unfathomable opportunities but instead makes each act between Rafe and Liv more about love than unrealistic adventures. Both Rafe and Liv need to find a way to be better within the construct of their professional lives. There isn’t any throwing down the gauntlet and completely uprooting and making drastic life changes. It is beautifully real.
Simply, this is a real, lovely romance novel.

Penelope Ward – Roomhate
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
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
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.
