My Review: Fearless to Love is the seventh installment of the Written in the Stars series, each written by a different author. This was the first book I read in the series. It is my second book by this author. I never wanted to put it down. This is Dante and Lily's story. Dante Ricci is twenty seven years old and is the owner of a club called Flux. His now ex-partner left him in the lurch so Dante has been working long hours trying to straighten everything out and hire someone new to help take some of the burden off him. It’s after a long night at work when he just couldn’t bring himself to go home to his empty house so instead he went for a drive, ending up in Fairlane outside a bar. Lily Valenti is twenty four years old and lives by herself just outside of town. Lily is successful in her own right, but still, due to a past bad relationship, struggles a bit with self confidence. She noticed Dante the minute he came in to the bar, but when he asked her for her phone number, she was hesitant. Sparks flew between them from the first moment they met and it made for a really cute story. I’m thinking I’m going to have to check out the other novellas in this series of standalones as well. I received an advance copy of this book. I am voluntarily giving my honest review, and I plan to buy this book when it becomes available. Book Links: Goodreads, Bookbub, Amazon US |

Book Review: Survive Me by Chelsea McDonald
My Review:
Another awesome read by this author. This is Katie and Evan's story. I was so emotionally caught up in this book I couldn’t even put it down. Great characters and a great story with characters from previous books included too. Just like the other Vibrations novellas this story captured me right from the start and I would highly recommend it.

ROCKSTAR ROMEO
BY ABBIE ZANDERS
After nearly two decades in the rock and roll business, Jace Logan has
seen and done it all. It’s been a long time since someone told him no regarding
anything. Until her. She’s different.
She’s gorgeous, sexy, and oddly familiar, but he can’t figure out why.
When she shuts him down, she only makes herself that much more intriguing and
he’s determined to find out more. What he discovers leaves him reeling.
Eva D’Agolino is a single, successful working mother of twin boys, but
she wasn’t always a paragon of corporate responsibility. Once a part of the
rock and roll life herself, she traded in the glitz and glamor for her kids.
These days, she prefers to live and work behind the curtain instead of center
stage.
Denying Jace completely proves impossible, but she’s no fool. She’s
already been down that road and knows how the song ends.
Can Jace convince Eva that he’s nothing like her ex, and that theirs is
truly a love song for the ages?

COCKY STRIKER
BY EVAN GRACE
Some say
I’m cocky — I say I’m confident.
Things have always come easy for me; sports, academics…girls. And I’ve used all of that to my advantage the past three years of college.
I’ve got it all, or at least I thought I did until Laken walks into my life.
I've never desired a relationship like my parents have, but there is some mysterious pull I feel toward this brunette I’ve noticed around campus.
And with each interaction we have, I long to know her more. Yet the closer we get, the harder she resists and the higher the walls go up.
I sense there’s something more – a secret she’s hiding – one she doesn’t trust to share with me yet.
But she will, if I have my way, and I’ll do anything if she’ll take a chance on me. On us. I grew up hearing the story of how my parents met, their separation, how my dad fought for them, and their happily ever after. I just never expected or wanted to find that for myself.
Now that I have I don’t want to ever let them go.
But when I’m given the opportunity of a lifetime after graduation, will the offer of my heart be enough for her to accept? Or will I lose her forever?

Temping
sucks, especially when you have a shopping addiction.
I started
at Seemore Temps when my dreams were shattered and I needed something to pay
the bills.
At Seemore
Temps they pride themselves on the three B’s. Beauty, Brains, and Bounty.
They supply
the mostly male-driven businesses of Manhattan with able women that can do the
job, and look good too.
Needless to
say, we’re a popular Agency.
Working for
Mason Chase should have been easy. He was married, kind and a bit of a flirt,
but pretty harmless.
Not like
James Murtaugh or the Shameless Bastard as I’ve come to call him.
He’s the
ruthless, arrogant CEO of Renowned Investment Financial, and he’s set his eyes
on... me.
He can have
any woman he wants and will go to great lengths to have them.
I need this
job, but I want, Christ, what do I want? Do I give in? Let him conquer me like
some Emperor?
Or do I
stay in my place and collect the paycheck? We shall see, either way, it’s gonna
be interesting.
All good
things must come to an end, right?
Except our
ending was one I didn't see coming.

Holden
Whittaker broke my heart when I was eighteen. What kind of guy stands up his
prom date and leaves her hanging, waiting for him to show up? A total jerk,
that’s who.
Never mind. I left my tiny nowhere town and moved to New York to follow my dream of becoming an actress.
Ten years later, my dream hasn’t happened, and I’m working as the office supply girl at Morgan Financial Holdings, doing my best to keep my paycheck and not get fired by the world’s most terrifying boss. Life couldn’t get much worse, until I get stuck in an elevator and guess who comes to rescue me? In a city of eight million people, it’s Holden.
Turns out he’s moved to New York, too, to be an EMT. I don’t want to see my teenage nemesis as one of the good guys, but he’s out saving lives every day, and he’s still gorgeous and cocky. I could fall for him all over again, and that’s a problem. Because it’s only a matter of time before Holden crushes me again.
My hometown heartbreaker isn’t the guy I left behind anymore. If I could stop hating him, I might belong with him. The question is, which one of us will get hurt first?

I was
minding my own business at my new job as a child life specialist when the
sexiest doctor in the hospital fell into my lap... literally.
He was
every woman’s fantasy, the Adonis in a white coat was charming, not to mention
brilliant.
Dr. Andrew
“Drew” Montgomery was quite the catch, not the usual type of guy who I’d expect
to fall for a woman like me.
The first
man who saw past my wheelchair, Drew was also the first man I could see myself
settling down with.
We started
dating, and everything seemed fine, but something was holding him back, Drew
was married to his job and he carried the weight of his namesake. A name I
wasn’t sure I could live up to.
I meant to
keep my guard up, but it was no use. I was in over my head the moment his
gorgeous blue eyes thoroughly examined me.
I knew my
body was in good hands, but could I trust my heart with the cocky doctor?

Why couldn’t a sexy Frenchman be the way to nurse a broken
heart on a honeymoon for one? The question plagued me, and part of me figured
he was just what the doctor ordered!
On the steps of the Eiffel tower, the hottest man I’d ever
seen referred to himself as a wanker on the phone and a surge of heat grew
inside me.
And why did British slang suddenly sound like a name in my
fantasies?
When Mr. Wanker shows up on my train to Italy, we make a
deal that he’ll take me to Monte Carlo and then we can continue onto Rome,
together.
My lonely honeymoon for one is now heating up.
And the more time I spend with my Mr. Wanker, the stronger
my fantasies of tossing everything and moving to Europe play out in vivid color

Falling in love wasn’t supposed to be a part of this

wondered at what price? Because, as handsome and powerful as Bentley

of New York were not an easy road—one must earn their way. But this beauty was
different. She needed to be on a stage, not singing on a street corner.

Cocky Hero Club

Book Review: Rockstar Romeo by Abbie Zanders
My review:
This was my 6th Cocky Hero Club book and my first by this author. This is my favourite Cocky Hero Club book so far. I love a rockstar romance and I wasn’t disappointed with this love story.
Eva is a single mother of teenage twin boys, works for an entertainment management company that promotes Dark Wing and she ends up having to work with them by default when the CEO has to work on the road with another band. She wants nothing to do with Jace Logan. She has worked hard to get where she. She’s strong but is afraid to let herself fall in love with Jace.
Jace Logan is the lead singer of the band Dark Wing. When Jace lays eyes on Eva he is hit with deja vu but cannot remember how he knows her.
Each chapter begins with a note and advice from Dear Ida. I had several laughs over Ida's honesty. The story takes place while the band is on hiatus.
I received an advance copy of this book. I am voluntarily giving my honest review, and I plan to buy this book when it becomes available.

Book Review: Be My Queen by Chelsea McDonald
My Review: The second half of the crown duet which cannot be read as a standalone. You must read Be Mine, King first. I have been waiting for this book since the moment I finished Be Mine, King. Nikolai and Anastasia's story was never going to be easy giving their very unconventional start and it only proved to become more difficult when she disappeared at the end of the first book when things were just getting good with them. This story starts up right where Be Mine, King finished and it didn't leave us waiting for long. I'm excited to read any upcoming stories set in the same world. Maybe the brothers can have their own books. I received an advance copy of this book. I am voluntarily giving my honest review, and I plan to buy this book when it becomes available.

Book Review: Eves by S R Dyble
My Review: This author has done it again with another awesome book. Eves picks up right where we left off in book 1, Kit. It’s great how we get back into the story immediately without all of the revisiting of storyline parts. However if you haven’t read Kit I recommend you do so first. There are many ups and downs, trust issues and learning to live with each other. I so can't wait for the next book in this series. Book Links: Goodreads, Bookbub, Amazon US |
