MAKE IT A DOUBLE by Sawyer Bennett <– Newest Recommendation!!
I finished this book at 3AM last night and LOVED IT!!!!! Basically, the hero spent the last 5 years in prison and had lost everything important to him and the heroine has distanced herself from the life of luxury she came from and she spends her time helping abused animals in a shelter. When she meets him, they actually don’t get off on the best of terms right away but they have this really strong connection and she “is powerless to stop her personal quest to make Brody whole again.”
I’ll have a real review up tomorrow but just my quick 2 cents right now are: I LOVED IT !!!!! I read it as a standalone and was 100% fine (It’s technically the second book in a series of standalones but I didn’t read the first book because it was the story of THIS book that intrigued me more and it was written in a way that it could totally be read on it’s own — and this is coming from someone who is really OCD about reading books in order so I promise it’s okay)… but yeah – totally loved it and highly recommend it. It was a REALLY sweet read with a very unique twist to it. It had a really wonderful balance of an intriguing storyline, a SWOONY romance, crazy hot sex, but also really great character development, and a nicely paced relationship (no insta-love). Just my kind of read!! 😀
ROOM FOR YOU by Beth Ehemann — Top Recommendation!!!
I LOOOOOVED this book and it’s still my top recommendation of the moment!!! Read my review. It was a sweet, swoony, heart-melting, romance, perfectly balanced with just enough angst to keep me on my toes. The heroine is a single mom with 2 little twin girls, and the hero is a famous hockey player (but she doesn’t know that) and a storm strands him at the Inn she runs with her mom and he has to stay a few days…. ok, and just get this — he calls her little girls his Twinkies!!! OMG *SWOON*
It’s the first of a 2-book series (both books are about the same couple, and both are available) and I read the sequel right after and loved it just as much as the first one!! I highly recommend them both!!! SO. MUCH. SWOOOOOON. !!!! Reading order: #1 ROOM FOR YOU, #2 ROOM FOR MORE.
THE WILL by Kristen Ashley — Top Recommendation!!
WOW!! This book was pure freaking GOLD!!!! Read my review. My heart was RACING the whole way through. I had SHIVERS and was so totally wrapped up in the story!! I love love loved Jake!!!! Talk about ALPHA!!!! He was bossy but in a loveable way.. total take-no-bullshit attitude. He was pure Alpha awesomeness. Honestly, Jake & Josie are one of my favorite KA couples of all time now. The best way I can describe this book is EPIC — epic emotions, epic story, epic romance!!! This book reads as a standalone romance so if you’re new to Kristen Ashley books, you can start with this and, if you’re already Kristen Ashley fans, you’ll understand when I say this is “Vintage KA” style!! 😀

VITAL SIGN by J.L. Mac — Limited Time Sale (Read my Review)

UNFIXABLE by Tessa Bailey — $0.99 New Release (Read my Review)
I recently finished this and loved it! It was fun, sexy, and light-hearted. Honestly, it felt exactly like “reading” a romantic comedy movie — great banter, a hot hero, a snarky heroine, a little bit of drama thrown in and a happy ending. The heroine was a “sarcastic American girl” fresh off a bad break up who wemt to Ireland where she met a “dark-haired, blue-eyed” famous race car driver “with a bad attitude that rivals her own.”

I recently finished reading Crazy Good by Rachel Robinson and it was just EPIC!
I didn’t even notice that it was already 7 AM in the morning by the time I finished it because I was just so engrossed with the story. The eye bags are definitely worth it and I’m sure if you read this, it will definitely garner a top recommendation from you.
You really just have to read it and make a review about this so that book lovers out there can also discover this treasure. So in case you’re still looking for a new book to read,I hope you’ll move this at the top your list and I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed.
The book is definitely one of the BEST books I have read this 2014. No cliffhangers, swoony book-boyfriend, and the writing was just astounding. I definitely connected with the characters and my only regret is that the book is already finished. She’s definitely an author to look out for and I’ll be highly anticipating her next release.
I’d really love to see your take on this book Aestas. 🙂 Hope you can give it a chance and soon.
Aestas Cross says
It’s funny you say that ‘cuz I literally just downloaded it to my kindle about 10 minutes ago!! Definitely going to be bumping it up my list 🙂
Buffy says
Hooray!! Looking forward to your review once you finish reading it. 🙂
