NEW REVIEW + JUST RELEASED: Love, Chloe by Alessandra Torre (My Review)
This was such a FUN book!! I’ve loved this author’s books for a while, and if you’re in the mood for a sexy, light-hearted and well-written story, you should definitely try this!! The heroine goes from riches-to-rags overnight and is suddenly faced with with realities of life, bills and rent so she gets a job working as the personal assistant to a snooty socialite and even manages to find unexpected love along the way with a gorgeous, swoony guy who she might’ve never given a chance before… This book is a little different than the usual romance novel, but it’s so fun!! I smiled, laughed, and swooned the whole time.

NEW (ARC) REVIEW POSTED: Collared by Nicole Williams (Read my Review)
OMG!!!!!! WOAH. WOW!! What an incredibly unique and powerful romance!! When I first read the blurb, it gave me chills and I just knew that I had to read this book… and from the first chapter, I was unable to put it down. It’s about a girl who was abducted and held captive for ten years, and the boy who loved her and never stopped searching for her until the day he finally brought her home. It’s not dark and if you’re looking for a love story that is totally different than the norm, but absolutely additive and achingly beautiful, then you have to read this!! I LOVED IT!! — “I’ll never finish falling in love with you.” Seriously guys, just read this amazing blurb, and if you want to know more, here’s my review!!

NEW (ARC) REVIEW POSTED: Wicked Heart by Leisa Rayven (Read my Review)
SQUEEEEEEE!!!! OH. MY. GOSH!!!! This amazing book was absolutely unputdownable!!! Actually, Liam, the sexy, gorgeous hero might top my 2016 book boyfriend list. But holy heavens THE. ANGST. WAS. INTENSE!! I swooned, I laughed, actually cried, I fanned myself from the sheer HOTNESS, and my heart raced non-stop from the first time they met til the very last page. Their love seemed so impossible that my heart just HURT. But the surprising TWIST was absolutely brilliant. Gah. This book was PERFECT. Elissa and Liam’s love story was brimming with emotion, intensity, and hotness. Once you start reading this book, you won’t be able to stop. I highly recommend pre-ordering immediately and clearing your schedules for release day because this is one of the best books of the year!!

NEW EARLY (ARC) REVIEW POSTED: So Much More by Kim Holden (Read my Review)
WOW!! This book was absolutely beautiful! I’ve been meaning to read one of this author’s books for ages so when she announced this one, I couldn’t resist and… HOLY FEELS!! I went from swooning in love to literally shaking with anger to shedding tears and back to swooning. The writing was gorgeous and the story was captivating. I highlighted 64 favorite quotes!! It tackles, with stunning insight, topics such as marriage, divorce, love, loss, family… and at the story’s heart is the overwhelmingly powerful depth of a father’s devotion to his children. I guarantee that you will fall in love with this hero. It’s impossible not to. He will straight-up steal your heart forever. Do yourself a favor and pre-order this book!

A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole — New Release!!

A standalone heart-wrenching romance. —MY TOP RECOMMENDATION!!
— One kiss lasts a moment.
But a thousand kisses can last a lifetime.
One boy. One girl. A bond that is forged in an instant and cherished for a decade. A bond that neither time nor distance can break. A bond that will last forever. Or so they believe.

When he returns from his native Norway to the sleepy town of Blossom Grove, Georgia, where he befriended her as a child, he has just one thing on his mind. Why did the girl who was one half of his soul, who promised to wait faithfully for his return, cut him off without a word of explanation? His heart was broken two years ago when she fell silent. When he discovers the truth, he finds that the greatest heartache is yet to come.

Love, Chloe by Alessandra Torre — New Release!!

A sexy light-hearted standalone — read my review!
— Chloe Madison. That’s me. A former NYU princess who fell from grace, right off my pampered Manhattan throne and onto the unforgiving steps of Nicole Brantley, socialite and queen bitch. Now, I walked her dog and mixed her smoothies. Tried to navigate my own problems while fixing all of hers… I wanted what every New York girl wanted. A career, an apartment, and true love, preferably in a smoking hot package. It turned out… I’d have to fight for all of it.

Beneath These Lies by Meghan March — New Release!!

Sexy, forbidden Alpha romance! — “Look, but don’t touch…she might as well wear a neon sign that says it. It just makes me want her more. She might be above me in every way, but I still want her under me. I’ve got no business touching her rich-girl skin, but that won’t stop me from stealing a taste. Because rules were meant to be broken—especially when the prize is so fine. In a world where nothing is as it seems, what’s buried beneath these lies?”

Hawke: A Cold Fury Hockey Novel by Sawyer Bennett — New Release!!

Second chance hockey romance. A Carolina Cold Fury standalone! — “He’s worked his way up from the minor leagues and made himself a star. The only thing he misses from that life is the pierced, tattooed free spirit who broke his heart without so much as an explanation. She’s almost unrecognizable when she walks back into his life seven years later—except for the look in her eyes that feels like a punch to the gut.

She isn’t the same girl she was at twenty. As crazy as she was about him, her reckless behavior and out-of-control drinking were starting to scare her. She had to clean up her act, and that would never happen with him around. Cutting him loose was the hardest thing she ever had to do—until now. Because she’s still crazy about him. And if he could ever learn to forgive her, they just might have a future together…”

The Confessions: An Original Sinners Collection by Tiffany Reisz — New Release!!

A collection of Original Sinners novellas! — Three Sinners. Three confessions. And all the dirty little secrets you could possibly desire…

One night is all she wants from the left winger who seems to have all the right moves. Soon circumstance draws her back to him, and the sparks between them become a fiery blaze. But with the stakes high, will they risk it all and put their hearts on the line?”

Woah, not my usual genre, but I LOVE the sound of this!!

People are sold on the black market, too. You have to work really hard not to become one of those people. Pay your taxes, keep your friends and family close, don’t get caught. But all the rules changed for me the day I found her.

My name is Sophelia and I’m a stowaway. I’ve been a slave for almost as long as I can remember. Waiting for the one day, one second, for my proprietor to turn his head so I could run and never look back. Now I’m on the run. And on a planet where no one is on your side and people would turn you in for a good meal or a piece of a silver, being on the run on Landu is the last place you want to be. Until he found me.

I won’t survive without him.
I can’t breathe without her.

Once-great war photographer Will Keller spends his days floating from one score to the next, taking any job that pays; his nights are a haze of sex, drugs, booze, and brawling.

There’s a world of bad things June could have gotten mixed up in. Will’s best clue is June’s diary: an unsettling collection of experiences, memories, and dreams, reflecting a young woman at once repelled and fascinated by the chaos of Cambodia.

In the end, the most dangerous thing in Cambodia may be June herself…
