The summer heat in Texas isn’t half as hot as the steamy scenes in this book.  C.D. Taylor nailed it with the third installment of the Chances Are Series.

Tyler is an ex-marine with a body for sin and a mind to get what he wants.  He has a great sense of what is important to him and stands by his convictions.  He’s hot and honorable all at the same time.

Tiffani is a woman with a complicated past that bleeds into a complicated present.  She hasn’t always made the best decisions in the past,  but with the right influences she can open her heart and secure a future.

When Tyler and Tiffani meet, it is an instant inferno of passion.  Both feel the incredible connection and know that the thing between them is more than a singular romp.

If you had the pleasure of reading the first two books in the series, Emily and Jake make a well-incorporated appearance in this book.  No worries if you didn’t read the others in the series, A Fighting Chance can also be read as a stand alone.

C.D. Taylor – Left to Chance

 to C.D. Taylor!

It’s terrifying to cross the line between friendship and lovers.  This book captures that fear and temptation masterfully.  The longing looks.  The innuendos.  The flirtation.

Oliver owns a comic book store and Lola is a comic book artist and writer.  Sounds like a perfect match, yes?  They have that perfect connection where their mutual friends think they communicate in their own language.  They can enjoy a silence between themselves and not feel awkward.  They have a shared nerdy sensibility that allows them to relate so well together.

My favorite moment is when Oliver decides that he wants to propose to Lola.  It has nothing to do with how she looks or feels in bed, but how her mind works to fight for her comic book.

I have physical proof that this book is fabulous.  It’s been 24 hours since I finished the book and I still can feel the pain and happiness for these characters in my chest and gut.

Christina Lauren – “Dirty Rowdy Thing”

 to Christina Lauren!

Holy Hot Steamy Read!  It sizzles like bacon in a skillet.  Strip teases and sex up against the glass window of a Chicago high rise . . .

sorry, I had to pause and fan myself while I was recalling those scenes.

And to top it off, the story involves a couple that truly compliment each other.  Nina is a medical student and Kam is a recovered transplant patient.  While Kam has some body issues of his own, he is able to give Nina the confidence to deal with her own body issues.  Kam is having a hard time getting his career back on track, but Nina gathers strength from him in order to confront her asshole boss.  Likewise, Nina provides Kam his first step in opening up his feelings about his tragedy.

Eliza Madison – Fast, Fresh, and Hot

 to Eliza Madison!

Synopsis:

Keegan Hughes is a fiercely independent, and annoyingly honest, college senior who believes in the zombie apocalypse. Her “unique qualities” entertain her friends and, unfortunately, attracts the attention of her new neighbor, Adrian Elliott.

Having been left behind by other men in her life, Keegan vowed to never trust another guy with her happiness. She’ll take what she wants from them, but they only get what she’s willing to give. When Adrian slams into her life, he tramples all over her rules and boundaries, constantly throwing her off balance.

Keegan can’t deny her physical attraction to Adrian, but his hyperactive, slightly delusional personality, is very unlike her usual type—confident, tattooed, alpha male. When Adrian makes a proposal that could benefit them both, Keegan knows it’s a horrible idea, but can’t resist his plea for her help.

Neither of them are prepared for the storm that’s created when their two very intense personalities come together. Will Keegan get the hell out before Adrian destroys every boundary she creates? If she stays, can Adrian get through his own real-life demons to be the first man in her life to make her a priority?

This Romantic Comedy is the second in a series, but it is a standalone. Our Kinda Love is a spinoff on secondary characters from the first book in the series – Shy Kinda Love.

This is a hilarious, hot, and heart-warming book.  I’m finding it difficult to decide where to start because there were so many things that I loved about this book.

The characters are freaking phenomenal!  Their quirkiness is fantastic.  Aiden is this amazing combination of responsible and utterly irresponsible with an extra dose of hotness.  Keegan’s crazy in that she’s got an obsession with a zombie apocalypse, but at the same time she is a medical student and brilliant.  The discrepancy in Keegan’s show of intelligence is an interesting parallel to Aiden’s inconsistency.  As Aiden says, “[Y]our crazy compliments mine.”

There are so many other quotes from the book that I would like to share.  Honestly, that’s the crux of what makes this a MUST READ novel.  Deanna Eschler doesn’t miss a beat – even the names of the chapters are sensational.  The chapter titles depict a specific line in the story.  My favorite is “Empty Calorie Breakfast.”  The line from the book was, “[t]hat poor man got nothin’ but an empty calorie breakfast with a side order of blue balls.”

The best part of this book is the fact that Keegan goads Aiden into reading her erotic romance book in order to improve his skills.  The discussions that follow are outstanding.

While this is the second book in the series, I read this book first.  I can’t wait and read the first book, Shy Kinda Love.

Humorous and romantic.  Alice Clayton will have you laughing out loud and fretting over the status of relationships.

I absolutely loved how the author had running text messages between the women about a topic then had a similar topic of texts between the men.  Of course, the difference between the conversations was hilarious.

The playful banter between Wallbanger and Nighty Girl is fantastic.  I like how they’re really comfortable in their relationship together despite it being less than conventional.  Even when they’re at Simon’s reunion, there’s a sexy security in their relationship.

Caroline says, “Do you know how intoxicating tonight was for me? … Half the women there tonight wanted to fuck you, Simon – but they don’t get to. … I do.”

Even when work gets in their way, Caroline and Simon seem to find ways to prioritize their relationship, making them an endearing couple.

Alice Clayton – Wallbanger

 to Alice Clayton! 

I truly enjoyed this story.  It’s got all the makings of a good romance: passion, angst, disappointment, and reconciliation.  And, it has a lovable rescue dog.  Both Damien and Sally are both affected by their past relationships.  Sally suffers from emotional scaring while Damien’s complications are more of an encumbrance.  In either case, both of their pasts have an effect on their present relationships.  As a result, poor assumptions are made and feelings are hurt.  The key to making a relationship work is being able to admit that one is wrong.  Sometimes, one has to work at making amends.  If done well, most things can be forgiven.  On the other hand, a sexy dress with a slit up the thigh can drive a man to do something crazy – sometimes good or sometimes bad.

My absolute favorite line:

“You know she’s ‘the one’ when even your mother’s cooking doesn’t cut it.”
