LA REVIEWS WHAT I NEED.....BY J. DANIELS

Ladies, we've been waiting for CJ and Riley's story for a while now. We've been impatiently waiting for our next Bama Boy and he's finally here! 

I can tell you right now IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT! J. Daniels has crafted a story that is sweet, sexy and has a whole lot of that Tully charm. So much charm, that I felt like I was cheating on Ben Kelly for the whole book.

CJ Tully is absolutely delicious. Tall, built, a face that's irresistibly gorgeous and that sweet southern charm make CJ a very desirable book boyfriend. One I've been replaying sexy scenes with in my head all week long.

In case you don't know, CJ is on the Ruxton Police Department with Ben and Luke. And of course Reed Tennyson (who happens to be Riley's big brother) round out this friendship. The boys have been friends for ages and it helps out that their girls are friends too.

What I Need starts out at Reed and Beth's rehearsal dinner. You probably remember, CJ had a thing for Beth for a while, but Reed shut that right down. I wasn't exactly crazy about CJ back then, but now CJ Tully is exactly what I need!

Arriving late for the rehearsal is a newly single Riley Tennyson. Even though she's very upset over the fight and breakup with her long term boyfriend, she can't help but notice how insanely attractive CJ is. When she finds out he's her partner in the wedding things get even better.


So what do you do when you're at your big brother's wedding without your plus one? You drink tequila. Lots of tequila. CJ always the good guy tries to get Riley to stop drinking tequila. Have I forgotten to mention the intense attraction these two have for each other from the very start?

That attraction leads to a very steamy wedding weekend with the CJ and Riley sneaking into each others rooms to get to know each other better. These two get to know each other intimately in a very short amount of time. Just playing the sound of CJ's voice in my head with that sexy southern drawl melted my insides. And every time he called Riley darlin', I almost spontaneously combusted.

Unfortunately, when the wedding ends and everyone goes home, Riley totally friend zones CJ. I was so disappointed and even though CJ agrees to being friends, he was more than disappointed. All of a sudden Riley starts to pop up everywhere. They've lived in the same town forever and never ran into each other. Now Riley is everywhere.

CJ decides he'd rather have Riley as a friend than not have her at all. So friendship it is. I love the way their friendship plays out. They have fun together. They laugh together and of course they tell secrets together. They're sweet and funny and yes even as friends still very sexy.

Do you think Riley can keep CJ in the friend zone? I'm not sure if I could. CJ is everything a girl could want and more.

The Alabama Summer series is one of my favorite book series ever. I have read them more than once. Ben and Mia's story, more than that. And while Ben will always be my number one Bama Boy, CJ is a VERY close second.

J. Daniels creates characters that you want to know. You wish you could be part of their friend group. I know I do. You feel the love they have for each other and how protective of each other they are.

What I Need is a book that will make you smile, swoon, and maybe even cry a little bit. You won't want it to end. I think CJ and Riley's story has become my second favorite in the Alabama Boys Series. Even though I cheated with CJ Ben, you're still my number one.

Five sexy, southern charm filled stars for CJ and What I Need!

I'll tell you a secret CJ. I really, really like you.

EMILY REVIEWS PRESTON'S HONOR...BY MIA SHERIDAN

I'm not even sure where to start describing how seriously amazing Preston's Honor is!!! I am a HUGE Mia Sheridan fan and all of her books are one clicks for me.  Preston's Honor is currently fighting for the top spot of her books!!  

This story is about an epic love that never waivers.  There is also so much more within the pages than that... You'll find so many of life's true lessons within these pages without being preached to.  

It's  about the importance of self worth, the value of knowing your heritage, the honor of a legacy.  Preston's Honor is about forgiveness and love and strength. 

     

Preston and Cole are twins that were raised in a wealthy family who run a farm.  While Preston is the dutiful, honorable son, Cole is the fun loving adventurous brother.  Both lovable and admirable. 

Lia is the poor daughter of a bitter angry Mexican immigrant. She has not known or received love from her mom and she has absolutely nothing of material value, but she has the love friendship of the two brothers.

     Preston and Lia have always had love for one another, but circumstances and honor have kept them apart.  One night of beauty, which then turns into a day filled with tragedy and their lives are changed forever.  

     Without giving too much away I will say that the pages that follow brought me lots of tears, lots of cursing and maybe I even threw my kindle across the room... But have no fear and keep reading!!!

Preston's Honor is not only one of my favorite Mia Sheridan books, but will always be one of my favorite books period.  The pages were filled with so much hope and beauty and love.  They were honest and harsh but so loving. I was lost in this book and I still feel like I'm lost somewhere in the pages. Forgiveness, tolerance, and love are the underlying factor that fuels every page of this deeply moving and poignant story. 

This book is buried deep within my bones and I give it 10 lip smacks!!!... Mia Sheridan, you are truly a talented writer and I thank you for another beautiful and life changing story!!  I, will always remember to make a fuss!  

LA REVIEWS PUCKED OFF...BY HELENA HUNTING

If there's one thing we know about Lance Romero from the beginning of the Pucked Series, is that the  ladies love him and Lance Romance loves them right back. Admittedly he has the worst reputation of his teammates and for the most part he owns that reputation and maybe even deserves it a little.

I have to admit now as much as I am all about Alex Waters, Lance Romero has definitely found a place in my heart. I mean the cover model by himself for Pucked Off  is a complete fantasy. I don't think I've ever seen a cover model that completely embodies their character until Lance. Then you add Helena's story, which I couldn't put down and you have a book boyfriend that melted my  heart with each turn of the page.

Lance's story is much more complicated than the other members of his team. His past is dark and he carries around that darkness inside of him. At first, I thought Tash was definitely the girl for him and I figured Helena would write Lance's story in that direction. I couldn't have been more wrong and I'm so glad I was because it just made me love Lance Romero even more.

Lance Romero is gorgeous, quite possibly the hottest player on his team. His body is beyond perfect. With darkish red hair and light green eyes he gets even better. Add that sexy Scottish accent that comes out at times and he is the total package. Who knew he would make such an amazing book boyfriend?

I love Helena's writing and am in awe of how she put this story together. I think it may be my favorite in the series so far. But considering I love the whole series, that just means it gets better and better.

After a run in with Tash, (that absolutely floored me) you know this isn't going to be the typical light hearted read you're used to in the Pucked Series.

Lance, unhinged from his meeting with Tash, goes and finds some trouble. At practice the next morning his coach insists he goes to massage therapy if he wants to play in an upcoming game. Lance's reaction is strange, but he agrees to the massage.

Enter Poppy O'Connor (you might remember her, I didn't), stunningly beautiful, with a personality and heart to match and that's when the story really starts. For the first time in his life, he doesn't mind being touched. Their chemistry is steamy from the very start.

It seems Poppy and Lance have some history. Quite a bit of history. Which you will find out about as you get into the story. It's sweet and real and it made me love Lance more than I thought was possible.

Before I forget, Lance Romero is every bit the sex god in bed that the bunnies say he is. If I could sum him up in a word, it would be giver. He's like the energizer bunny. He keeps on giving. Poppy is one lucky girl.

Of course, nothing good comes easy, so Lance and Poppy have some bumps in the road. I can't explain enough how many feelings I have for Lance because this book. But that's what a great writer does, right?

It's not all deep and angsty. The whole cast of characters are there throughout the whole story. Giving Lance advice and trying to smooth over the bumps. And don't worry Violet's there and she is as unfiltered as ever!

An awesome story, an amazing book boyfriend! Five slap shot stars for Helena Hunting and Pucked Off!

And Lance, I will always have gummy bears for you <3 p="">

LA REVIEWS KEEPING HER WET.....BY M. ROBINSON

Husbands across America owe a debt of gratitude to M. Robinson. Today is the release date of M's novella, Keeping Her Wet. I may have gotten through two chapters before I was yelling downstairs for my husband!

M has put together ten insanely steamy stories with the couples from all of her series. And let me just tell you, M's men know how to satisfy their women!

Every page gets hotter and hotter, with your favorite alpha men and their naughty mouths. Don't let me forget the hotness factor of ALL of the men in Keeping Her Wet.

I have read the entire Good Ol' Boys Series and both spin off books. So I am very well acquainted with all of those men. And each one is sexier than the other. But the Good Ol' Boy who has my heart is Lucas Ryder. Maybe because he's the first one I met. Maybe because Lucas and Alex's story while so heartbreaking was the most beautiful (at least to me). So their chapter in Keeping Her Wet was the one I started with. I love how caveman Lucas can be. The way he always takes Alex is so damn sexy.

I guess I just have a thing for anything connected to Lucas, because holy hell, Creed and Mia's chapter is absolutely smoking hot. Creed has the dirtiest mouth and it is a huge turn on. Mia is a lucky girl. I have to mention though I think she's going to have a tough choice between Creed and Noah. I think both brothers are going to bring it and I'm thinking maybe plot twist, but you never can tell which direction M will go in.

I'm going to tell you right now the title of this novella is very fitting. I would suggest not reading it out in public because...well just one click it ASAP and you'll find out.

I generally shy away from novellas, but Monica Robinson wrote this one and I had to own it. I enjoyed it, because it wasn't just a shorter version of a story. I loved that is was separate stories about characters I had already become invested in.

Meeting the characters from M's other novels, definitely made me want to get to know them better so of course those books have been added to my TBR.

If you're looking for a quick super sexy read, I suggest you one click Keeping Her Wet. I'm sure you'll enjoy every single bit of it. And for .99 cents how could you possibly go wrong?
Five super slippery stars for Monica Robinson and Keeping Her Wet.

LA REVIEWS PREPPY PART 2...BY T.M. FRAZIER

Before I say anything else, let me get this out of my system...HOLY, FUCKING, SHIT!!! What a wild ride T.M. takes us on in the second part of Preppy's story.

I absolutely love T.M. Frazier. The King Series is one of my favorite book series. It's a go to reread for me. I have  been fortunate enough to meet T.M. and she is a sweetheart. If you've seen her in person, you know she is gorgeous. She's also a genuinely nice person and doesn't mind when you ridiculously fangirl over her. Then you read her books and you think to yourself, how can this totally lovely person write such dark and twisted books?

But I digress. Of course as soon as Preppy Part 2 appeared on my Kindle I had to start reading. Then I decided, you can never have enough Preppy in your life, so I had to do a reread of Part 1. The time line was reset up in my brain and I was ready to dive into Part 2.

Preppy Part 2 picks up just where the first part leaves off. Dre, is at Preppy's bedside, we've just heard him tell everyone that Dre is his wife. Then after a bit of the lull, Preppy springs up from his bed and tries to strangle Dre. 

Then the story really begins. If you don't know where Preppy's been, stop reading now. One click the entire series and just start from the very beginning. So we know Preppy has been held captive by Chop and tortured in the worst ways. He's been comatose for a while and King and Bear aren't sure if he's out of the woods yet.

Since Dre was pre Ray and Thia, they are both suspicious of her intentions. Preppy is in a bad way and everyone is very protective of him. Dre is back in Logan's Beach. After Preppy sent her on her way in part one, Dre went to rehab and got her life back together.  She's just back in Logan's Beach to settle up some issues with her grandma's house and closure on a horrible chapter of her life. Then she plans to go back home. After all, there's nothing for her in Logan's Beach any more. Until she finds out PREPPY IS ALIVE! 

The story is so gripping I honestly could not put it down. You see a whole other side of Preppy that you didn't think existed. In King when you met Preppy he was funny and cute, but you knew he had a dark side. Preppy's dark side is beyond anything you could imagine. What he went through as a child, then when he was held captive, would be enough to break even the strongest of men, but not Preppy.

Freedom is something Preppy struggles with. The torture he endured has taken a toll on him physically and mentally. He's not the same Preppy you remember. He's broken. Everyone tries to help him, but this is something Preppy has to fix himself. And when he fixes himself, he is delicious.

The relationship between Dre and Preppy is strained. They're married and yes they actually are. You'll find out. Clearly, they separated on terrible terms. Then Dre got the letter and that letter changed everything. It's one of the reasons she finds her way back to Logan's Beach.

I don't want to say anymore about the story line, because you should definitely be one clicking this one. Everything about Preppy Part 2 is totally on point. The story alone is amazing, but T.M. Frazier has the ability to make you become invested in every character she creates. There's humor, there's friendship, there's love and a whole lot of twisted, jaw dropping in this book. Be sure you have time to read it, because you won't want to put it down!

Five hugely twisted stars for T.M. Frazier and Preppy Part 2.

PS King is mine..,just sayin'

LA REVIEWS I SEE YOU...BY MOLLY MCADAMS

Molly McAdams, how I love you! You could probably write a grocery store list and I'd buy it. Even though you shredded my soul in Taking Chances and Stealing Harper, I absolutely adore you.

Sometimes after you read a book, you still feel it even after you're done with it. That's the kind of book I See You is. I just started thinking about it after having finished it a few weeks ago and I got that feeling in my chest like, omg I love this story and I could read it over and over again. And that's exactly what I did.

Imagine one night with a boy so amazing that you couldn't forget it. One night so mind blowing you came back the next week to find the boy you promised you'd forget about. But just like he said he was gone. Only you can't forget him. Even after you find a perfectly wonderful boyfriend, you can't forget those dark eyes, or that lean, muscled body. You remember the way he made you feel in bed that night, when you shouldn't be thinking about him. 

That's exactly how Aurora Wilde feels in I See You. She decides one night to go out and be the kind of girl she wasn't. One night to let loose before senior year, and she meets him. He didn't even tell her his name. But even after ten months, she remembers everything about him.

Ten months later she runs into him again. Only now she's with her boyfriend Declan, who happens to be very good friends with Aurora's mystery man. Now that dark eyed stranger has a name. It's Jentry Michaels and let me just tell you he is about the swoon worthiest book boyfriend I've had all year. 

So now the man you've been dreaming about for almost a year, comes back into the picture. And guess what? He hasn't forgotten you either. He couldn't possibly forget the girl with the violet eyes. Only here's the problem. You're dating someone he considers his brother. And even though you love your boyfriend, you keep remembering how Jentry made you feel. How he was hard and soft. How he bit you and then softly kissed over the bite. Oh my, is it getting hot in here?

I See You has an interesting time line. You go from the near past to the far past and then to the present. All the while Molly McAdams weaves this story that is complicated and beautiful. Jentry and Aurora can't hide their attraction from each other, but they battle their attraction because of their love for Declan.

The back story of Declan and Jentry's relationship gives you an idea of Jentry's troubled past and also introduces you to other key players in the story. There's Linda, she's Declan's mom and she's a terrible person. She spends three quarters of the book making Aurora feel bad about her self. She does mean underhanded things that Aurora tries to hide from everyone. Only one of the boys sees what's going on. Get it? I See You? Then there's Jentry's sister, and she is just a hot mess that intrudes on Declan and Jentry's lives time after time.

I'm getting too carried away, but that's what happens when I love a book! I'm trying so hard not to give you details because it's a story you really want to read. I have already reread because....Jentry....Just Jentry. 

There's drama, tears, and angst, but most of all there's love. A love that one can only hope to get in their lifetime.

I will leave you with this. There's a part of the story and I'm not saying when, but it is so sexy I have read it over and over again. Jentry's kissing down Aurora's neck and growls. Then she asks him a question and his raspy voice growls, "Aurora...yeah." I. Just. Can't. 

Five hard and soft stars for Molly McAdams and I See You.

LA REVIEWS HIT THE SPOT BY J. DANIELS

If you read J. Daniels Four Letter Word, you've already met Jamie McCade and Tori Rivera. If you haven't read it, what are you waiting for? Seriously, go one click it now and read it ASAP. It should definitely be at the top of your TBR. As soon as you finish Four Letter Word, you need to start Hit The Spot which is Tori and Jamie's story.

Tori and Jamie have a love/hate relationship all through Four Letter Word. Jamie's mission in life is to get with the sexy beauty he calls Legs and Tori well she pretty much does everything she can to discourage Jamie. Which includes dropping his food on the floor of the kitchen at the restaurant she works at in hopes that he'll catch some horrible disease and chopping down the womanizing surfer boy every chance she gets.

Even though she's taken at the moment, Tori can't overlook Jamie's model good looks. Dirty blonde, longish surfer hair, tanned and toned body and those dimples. Don't forget the dimples, every time he smiles that brilliant smile. Let me interject here. Jamie's hotness comes right through J. Daniels writing. I could picture the hair, the body and the smile and I was more than smitten. Did I mention the surfing? Because yeah, there's that too.

Their back and forth banter through most of the story will keep you laughing. You'll realize there's so much more to Jamie than being a spoiled, womanizing surfer boy. You'll become a cheerleader for Jamie and want Tori to come to her senses and just get with that boy. Just like Tori's best friend Sydney did in Four Letter Word.

Then just when you think Tori's going to give Jamie a chance, he goes and does something super stupid and just ruins everything. But never fear, Jamie's been chasing after Legs for nine months and he's not about to give up.

After a smallish bump in the road Tori and Jamie's relationship takes a small twist. Jamie bets Tori that he can have her begging him for sex. Tori, not one to back down from a challenge bets she can have Jamie begging. The shenanigans that ensue between the two of them are not only sexy but laugh out loud funny.

We know Tori is a take no BS kind of chick, especially with all the nonsense she went through with boyfriend in the beginning of Hit The Spot. Jamie gets to her soft and as much as Tori tries to fight it, her walls begin to come down.

I would have never lasted as long as Tori did in the contest she and Jamie started. I would have be begging many chapters sooner. When they finally get together, their sex is smoking hot. The two have crazy chemistry to begin with and Jamie is like the energizer bunny. He can go and go and go. And Lord he is good at EVERYTHING!

Just when you think Tori and Jamie are on their way to a happily ever after, there's another bump. It causes Jamie to walk away and Tori to put her walls back up. Will they work it out or will Jamie go back to his womanizing ways?

Just an FYI Jamie McCade and Brian Savage are two of my favorite book boyfriends of 2016. I don't know if I could pick between them because they're both so delicious. 

I love my Bama boys, but the new guys in town are my latest addiction. Five swooning stars for J. Daniels and Hit The Spot.
