Tough Love by Lori Foster - next book in the Ultimate series

Image
Blurb: She's playing hard to get… to win the MMA fighter of her ultimate fantasies in a sultry new novel from New York Timesbestselling author Lori Foster… Vanity Baker loves a good, clean match, but she's not above playing a little dirty. She's wanted Stack "The Wolf" Hannigan from day one. Seems as though the best way to corral the famously commitment-phobic fighter is to insist on keeping it casual. And her plan works—deliciously well—until Stack's past steps out of the shadows. Stack learned early to stay free of attachments. But with sexy, forthright Vanity, he's the one always left wanting more. Then his troublemaking family comes back into the picture, threatening everything Stack cares about—Vanity included. Suddenly he realizes they're much more than friends with benefits. He's ready to go to the mat for her…but will it be in time to protect the woman who's tamed him for good?   I was lucky enough to receive an ARC copy of...

Capture by Rachel Van Dyken

Blurb:  Losing your ability to speak at the age of seventeen; it’s not normal or fair. But trauma, has a way of throwing normality out the window. Dani lives anything but a normal life. Her sister is married to one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Her best friends are rockstar duo AD2. And she has more love around her than most people experience in a lifetime. But that doesn't change the fact their parents are dead. Or that it's her fault. It seems her new normal is being a mute, living on the inside, unable to actually communicate on the outside. That is until Hollywood’s newest heartthrob Lincoln Greene hires her as his assistant for the summer. He's gorgeous, completely unavailable, and unobtainable. But that doesn't stop her from wondering...if things were different...would he want her? If she was whole, would he be the other half?   I was super excited that I got a chance to read an early copy of this book. Rachel Van Dyken is def...

Just A Little Crush - Just A Little Flirt by Renita Pizzitola

Image
I have been provided with copies of these books by Netgalley! (THANK YOU!!!) So, before I started reading those books, I had never heard of Renita Pizzitola before. But that's the beauty of the book world and especially having the chance of reading new books through Netgalley.  And let me just tell you, what a find Renita Pizzitola was. Those books...I loved both of them soooo much! They were intruiging, enticing, heart-warming and sucked me in like nothing else. It was simply great!!!! I did not wanna put any of them down and already asked Renita when we're getting the new books. Both of these books have strong female leads that you can't help but admire. Both of them fighting their own demons and doubts, and it's a beautiful thing to watch them grow into the women they are.  And boy, those guys....can I have one of them??? Especially Cade...oh boy, that man! I mean, who wouldn't fall for someone that vo...

21 Stolen Kisses by Lauren Blakely - NEW REVIEW

Image
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for my ARC copy of this book Synopsis: " When I first met him I resisted.   Like any forbidden love, I told myself he was a crush, and it would pass. That was a lie. It never faded. And I never expected he would fall for me just as hard.   There were so many reasons that should have kept us apart, least of all, the decade that separated us. Growing up in New York City, I learned early on that love is a double-edged sword. Love broke up my parents, love took away my friends, and love — the big, intense, never-been-like-this-before love — landed me in therapy. Now I’m heading to college, and it’s time to give love a clean slate again. But, can I really start over when he’s still in my life Because the one man I’ve always wanted, is also the only guy I absolutely can’t have…And he wants me just as fiercely. Can I settle for anything less than the love of my life?" This was my first Lauren Blakely book, and I...

I received an ARC from Netgalley in return for an honest review Synopsis:  Alina Chase has been contained on an island for the last 17 years—whether that’s for the crimes of her past life, or for her own protection, well, that depends on whom you ask. With soul-fingerprinting a reality, science can now screen for the soul, and everyone knows that Alina’s soul had once belonged to notorious criminal, June Calahan, though that information is supposed to be private. June had accomplished the impossible: hacking into the soul-database, ruining countless lives in the process. Now, there are whispers that June has left something behind for her next life—something that would allow Alina to access the information in the soul-database again. A way to finish the crimes she started. Aided by three people with their own secret motivations, Alina escapes, only to discover that she may have just traded one prison for another. And there are clues. Clues only Alina can see and dec...
