RILEY'S REVIEW STEPF*@K...BY SCARLETT WARD

"Sorry. That was the last time I'll make any sibling references, okay? I mean, really, the whole thing's pretty funny, if you ask me, but if the only thing that is keeping us apart if the fact that our parents got married, well...we just don't ever have to think of each other as brother and sister, okay? Step brother and sister, really. And that's nothing but a label. The thing is, Emma, I can't stop thinking about you. I've missed you."

StepF*@k by Scarlett Ward is a four part series about our naughtiest new guilty pleasure, the step sibling romance. I have to say, I enjoyed StepF*@k for several reasons. The obvious, Jai Carter is hot and I do have a thing for British boys. But it's not just that. Of course there's the super hot sex that Emma and Jai share, but there's more between them. It's just a little different than your average step sibling book. One click, you'll get it.

Emma Oliver is having a complete guy dry spell. She's definitely a little naive and inexperienced. After being dumped by her boyfriend six months her favorite date has become her BOB. 

Anyway, Emma's best friend Megan signs her up for an online dating sight. You know, one of those swipe right, swipe left deals. So with encouragement from Megan and against her better judgement, Emma decides SexyStranger258 will be the one night stand Megan insists she needs to get her out of her dating slump.

SexyStranger happens to be Jai Carter and yes he is absolutely sexy. Dark hair with blueish green eyes and a totally hot body. The best part about Jai is that yummy British accent. I don't know about you, but the accent totally amps up his sexiness factor for me like a million points.

Jai is in LA for the wedding of his father Zack Carter. Jai and his dad have never had a close relationship. Zack left Jai's mom ages ago and is just now realizing how important family is. Jai is there for the wedding and a two week "family" vacation after the wedding. Basically while in LA Jai's been using the dating sight to hook up. The girls in LA are plastic and fake and according to Jai good for only one thing. That is until he meets Emma. He can already tell she's different because her dating picture is natural and he loves the little freckles on her nose. Then of course there's what he hears outside his room before he meets her. She's completely trying to bail and of course Megan is trying to talk her out of it. 

Everyone decides to meet in the bar for a drink and before long, Emma doesn't need Megan for protection anymore. The attraction Emma and Jai share is immediate and strong. Emma definitely is nothing like the fake Barbie's Jai's been meeting and Jai is just well beautiful. Let the alcohol flow and the two wind up in Jai's room. In bed, they can't get enough of each other. And even though it's their first time together the way they make each other feel is phenomenal. Any inhibitions Emma may have had are gone out the window when she's with Jai.

When they wake up the next morning, Jai has gone out to get breakfast. When he comes back you can tell he wants more and even though she'd never admit it so does Emma. That is until she sees a wedding ring in Jai's stuff and leaves totally freaked out about sleeping with a married man.

So remember that wedding and family vacation Jai is in the US for? Well guess who Jai's dad is marrying?? Ding, Ding, Ding...if you guessed Emma's mom you win the prize. So now, she has not only had wild sex with her future step brother, but she also thinks he's married.

Their meeting is fantastic. Jai is like yes she's here. Emma is like I slept with my step brother and he's married, how much worse can it get? 

It's doesn't get worse. It gets better. Jai isn't married and convinces Emma that they can continue their amazing physical relationship until they're officially step brother and sister. Well actually I think that's Emma's idea. Jai is really into Emma and I don't think he cares about labels.

Every time Jai and Emma are together it's ridiculously hot. Jai is just so sexy and Emma is just so very receptive to him. I'm sure any female would be receptive to Jai. He is just that yummy. 

The time comes when their parents tie the knot and Emma is like ok we're done. Even thought Jai doesn't seem to care, Emma's got a lot of issues with what people would think of them together. Unfortunately, it's this part when Jai realizes, holy hell, he's falling in love with Emma and she's ready to walk away.

Then there's Jai's childhood friend who Emma catches Jai undressing and putting in his bed when she comes back to tell Jai she loves him. Yea book four is kind of a disaster. Of course I'm not going to tell you why she's undressed in Jai's bed. I'm also not going to tell you anymore than I already have. StepF*@k is a definite quick, naughty read. Perfect for beach or poolside I would say. Well you might need to grab a hold of a Jai look alike and find a private area for the naughtier parts (wink, wink).

Anyway, if you're in the mood for a step sibling story, one click and read StepF*@k. Jai is sexy and naughty and that accent is just yummy. Use your imagination, you'll be able to hear it in your brain.

Four lip smacks for StepF*@k a perfect summer read.

TRAILER REVEAL!!! ELUDE...BY RACHEL VAN DYKEN

The sixth book in the internationally bestselling Eagle Elite Series.

*Interconnected Stand Alone*

Twenty-Four hours before we were to be married--I offered to shoot her.

Ten hours before our wedding--I made a mockery of her dying wish.

Five hours before we were going to say our vows--I promised I'd never love her.

One hour before I said I do--I vowed I'd never shed a tear over her death.

But the minute we were pronounced man and wife--I knew.

I'd only use my gun to protect her.

I'd give my life for hers.

I'd cry.

And I would, most definitely, lose my heart, to a dying girl---a girl who by all accounts should have never been mine in the first place.

I always believed the mafia would be my end game--where I'd lose my heart, while it claimed my soul. I could have never imagined. It would be my redemption.

Or the beginning of something beautiful.

The beginning of her.

The end of us.

RILEY'S REVIEW RIDE STEADY...BY KRISTEN ASHLEY

Ride Steady is book 3 in The Chaos series by Kristen Ashley, and I love all books by her but the Chaos series is my absolute favorite.  I love Shy, Hop and now Joker! I recommend reading all books in this series to better understand the back story and other characters.  I think it would be worth it to also read Motorcycle Man as well.  Trust me; this will not be a hardship!  All of her books are amazing, but her motorcycle club men… Yummy!

We get to know Carson Steele aka Joker as a young boy who lives with an abusive jackass of a father. Carson’s mom took off when he was just a baby, so his nasty dad was all he had.  Carson was exposed to sex and drinking and beatings no child should be a part of at any age.  Thankfully Cason has some very good people in his life who keep an eye out for him and really cared about him.  Carson is a quiet soul, who is smart and an amazing artist.  He’s crushing real hard on the cheerleader/homecoming queen/ QB’s girlfriend.

Carissa Teodoro is a beautiful young girl who has suffered a lot of tragedy in her young life as well. Losing a sister in a terrible accident at 6 and her mom when she was 17, Carissa has seen a lot of loss.  Being the girlfriend of the Aaron Neiland, Carissa and he were the golden couple and super popular.  Carissa may have been in the “in” crowd with the mean girls, but she remained a sweet girl.

Carissa and Carson had some interactions in high school and when Carson had enough of his dad and all he abuse he decided to take off. Carson saw Carissa first and left her something to remember him by.  He and Carissa both missed some very life changing opportunities with each other that changed the course of their lives.  I love all the back story Kristen gave on Carson and Carissa and the people in their lives,  I also really loved how Carson had a relationship with the Chaos motorcycle club as a young kid and didn’t even realize it.  Just amazing.

Fast forward a few years and Carson, who is now a full-fledged member of Chaos and goes by the name Joker meets up again with Carissa, who has no idea who he is.  Carissa’s life is in a bad place, being newly divorced, royally screwed over and raising her baby boy.  Joker is hurt that she does not remember him and he believes he meant nothing to her. Regardless, The Chaos Motorcycle Club decides to help Carissa. Joker and Carissa have some serious attraction for one another and Joker is wonderful with Carissa’s son.  Kristen really writes good relationships.  She lets it grow from the beginning and it is so natural.  Without Carissa even knowing the impact she has had on Joker, his life becomes better because she is back in it.  Carissa’s life does a complete turnaround as well for the better.  They save each other! 

Carissa and Joker’s relationship isn’t easy from minute one, but they always seem to be open with each other about almost everything and are able to talk through things.  But the problems they have to face in their new relationship seem too big to tackle sometimes. Joker is still keeping his identity a secret and as they are both falling for each other he knows he has to fess up.  Chaos MC is having big problems with an enemy on the street.  Carissa’s ex-husband Aaron is mean, conniving and annoying. Now that he realizes he has lost her he decides he wants her back.  They have a lot to deal with!!!

On a side note I absofreakinglutely LOVE how Kristen Ashley brings characters from other series into each of her books.  Lee Nightingale, Mitch Lawson, Hawk Delgado and Knight Sebring to name a few.  It was so much fun visiting with old friends!!  And who doesn’t love a visit from Cherry and Elvira any day!!

Like all of KA’s books Ride Steady is full of details and she really makes you feel like you’re part of the story.  The characters become your friends, lovers and enemies.  The love story is fully developed and the friends and family play a huge roll in this book!  I absolutely loved how Joker remembers people in his past that helped him as a boy and they become part of his life as a man.

Ride Steady is a must read for any Kristen Ashley fan as well as a motorcycle club book lover, or a second chance romance fan or a hot alpha male lover… Basically anyone who loves to read!!  

This book has it all! 5 very plump lip smacks to Kristen Ashley and Ride Steady!!

RILEY'S REVIEW BEAT...BY VI KEELAND

"One step at a time, back behind the line

We can't stop it, no, doesn't matter we try

walk to the blur, yes, you're gonna be mine

Say we're still friends, we all know that's a lie

You doubt it's true, but it's too late to turn

The minute I touch you, our bodies align

You're like fire, yet I run toward the burn

We've crossed the line, now you're forever mine."

"You finished the last verse."

He smiles. "Now do you believe me? There's no going back once you've crossed into the blur."

I really liked Flynn Beckham in Vi Keeland's Throb. If Katie wasn't meant to be with Cooper I wouldn't have even minded if Flynn got the girl (Wait. What? You didn't read Throb ? Really? Get on that now). But then Flynn wouldn't have gotten his own story and I wouldn't have fallen madly in love with him, so I guess it's a win win for readers everywhere.

Honestly though, physically, Flynn Beckham is someone me being a lover of dark hair and eyes would probably never give a second look to. So why am I so ridiculously in love with him? His shaggy, sandy hair and blue eyes just did something to me. Not to mention that crooked grin and boyish charm. The tight body, the tattoos, ok you get the picture. Flynn Beckham is perfection.

But I'm getting carried away with my man because there's a really good story here. Flynn and his band In Like Flynn have the opportunity to go on tour as the opening act for Easy Ryder. Easy Ryder has been around for a while and they're hugely popular. So obviously this is an amazing opportunity for Flynn.

What Flynn doesn't plan on is falling in love with Lucky Valentine, girlfriend of Easy Ryder's lead singer Dylan Ryder. They meet at her bar the night Flynn is there to meet Dylan and Dylan stands him up. Even though Lucky doesn't try to hide that she has a boyfriend from the flirty Flynn, she can't help but feel a great attraction to him. Before she knows his actual name, she spends the night calling him Beautiful Man.

Lucky Valentine is the daughter of rock royalty. Her mom Iris a hugely famous singer and her dad was popular drummer. Lucky grew up around rock stars her entire life. Music is Lucky's thing. She even had the shot at a musical career. Sadly, a tragedy in her life has given her horrible stage fright and she can't even get on a stage much less sing on one.

"But living life without temptation is like having a heart that doesn't beat. And I'm a musician. I need a good strong beat."

Given her background, it's no surprise that Lucky's boyfriend is a famous rocker. Dylan Ryder's poster hung up on Lucky's wall when she was a teenager, now he's been her boyfriend for almost a year. Here's a hint. Avery, Lucky's best friend has no use for Dylan. She has several unpleasant nicknames for him, my favorite being Sleazy Ryder (hint, hint, I love Avery).

Flynn has promised himself he wouldn't go after the girl with the boyfriend again only he can't really help it with Lucky. Their relationship is easy from the start. They of course run into each other when Flynn shows up at Lucky's bar. They also learn they'll be working together. Flynn's joining the Easy Ryder tour for a few months while one of the band members spends some time with his new baby and Lucky's joining the tour to be a vocal coach for Flynn. Well ok the whole vocal coach thing is just a way for Dylan to get Lucky to go on tour with him. Dylan wanted Lucky on the tour with him and doesn't seem to have any time for her. 

The more time Lucky and Flynn spend together the closer they become. Since she's helping him as a vocal coach, he decides to help her with her stage fright. One day as they're practicing, Lucky opens up to Flynn and he finds out why she won't go on stage. While he's comforting her, their lips meet and it is an unbelievable kiss. Obviously Flynn's been into Lucky this whole time and of course Lucky's realizing how much Flynn is starting to mean to her.

Guess what? Dylan, you know Sleazy Ryder? He starts to notice this too. The way Flynn is always watching his girl doesn't sit well with him. Not to mention he's obviously not crazy about Flynn to begin with. He's jealous of the younger, clearly more talented singer. If I was Lucky, there would be no competition. But she is such a good girl, even though she knows it's Flynn, she wants to make sure she doesn't hurt Dylan.

Seriously, read this book. Flynn really is complete perfection. He's not only beautiful with that crooked grin and boyish charm. He's the total package. Sexy, swoon worthy and an incredible book boyfriend. I for one am obsessed. All I have been thinking about is what it would be like for Flynn to kiss the hell out of me (I just love that line).

So, great characters, great story and a five lip smack review from little ole me. 





RILEY'S REVIEW LITTLE MOMENTS...BY MADISON STREET

 He stares into my eyes with such conviction it causes my body to freeze and stop breathing. " I have wanted to be with you since I was seventeen years old. From that first moment you walked into the bakery, I knew that you were the only girl I wanted to be with. There were times when I was close to telling you, but you had a boyfriend and I didn't want to jeopardize that, because I just wanted you to be happy. After years of not seeing you around, I moved on and dated other women, but none of them compared to you. Not even close. The thing was, even though I didn't know you that well, I knew we were right for each other."

So, Little Moments is book two in the Second Chances series. Book one is Little Things and even though I originally read it because of the One Direction song title reference, IT IS AN AMAZING STORY! If you haven't read it yet, one click it ASAP. Both stories are very good and both stories are very different. Luckily, both stories have swoon worthy boys in them. 

If you read Little Things, you remember Melanie Stevens. She was Duke Grayson's girlfriend before Duke fell in love with Raya Winters. Melanie is a gorgeous green eyed blonde and definitely not the kind of girl you would think loses the boy. But she does. Even though lost Duke to Raya she's stayed friends with them and is godmother to their little girl. You really feel badly that she hasn't found the one yet. Melanie has this why do I always lose the guy moment and it's kind of heartbreaking, because Melanie is really a too good to be true kind of girl.

Then there's Roman Moretti. Super swoon worthy with dark good looks and an amazingly fit body from being a firefighter for the FDNY. Not to mention an incredible person. Roman lost his father to cancer at a young age and if that's not bad enough, he lost his mom when he was eleven years old in an apartment fire. Taken in by his aunt and uncle, they become a huge part of his life. They take care of him and treat him as if he was their own son. 

As a teen ager Roman worked in his aunt and uncles bakery. The very bakery where he meets seventeen year Melanie Stevens for the very first time. I felt like when he met her it was like one of those thunderbolt moments. You know, you feel it in your soul. You meet this person and you'll never be the same again. Even though Roman felt like this about Melanie, he never said a word. She had a boyfriend and Roman is not about to try and interfere with that. What he does know that even after meeting Melanie Stevens that just one time, she is the one for him.

Roman and Melanie's paths don't cross for the next ten years.Then they literally run into each other outside Roman's aunt and uncle's bakery when Melanie brought her goddaughter to get some of the delicious eclairs she remembers from the bakery. Roman is speechless. Face to face once again with the woman of his dreams and now she has a child. He thinks he's missed his chance again until his Aunt Maggie tells him Layla isn't Melanie's child. 

So you'd think Roman would go and get the girl after all this time right? Nope that's not what happens. Roman is busy being a firefighter and Melanie is busy being a nurse and their paths won't cross again for a while.

During this time Melanie begins to date (?) one of the doctors she works with. He's very handsome and very good between the sheets. He's also a slime ball and I wish I could have whacked him upside the head. Sadly for Melanie (fortunately for Roman) Dr. Easton Quinn is not relationship material. He also dredges up old feelings of insecurity in Melanie. She wonders why she isn't good enough to get the guy.

Roman and Melanie finally are brought together again by tragedy. Roman's heroic rescue of a little boy in a devastating fire have left him badly burned with internal injuries and a fractured back. Guess who one of his nurses is? Of course...the lovely Melanie. She is such an incredible and caring person I had to wonder if she was real. 

During his time in the hospital Roman is in a great deal of pain and learns he may not be able to go back to active duty as a firefighter.  He becomes angry and even though Melanie is trying to be there for Roman, he pushes her away. But, Melanie is truly drawn to Roman. Even when she gently touches him she feels a jolt of electricity through her system. 

Will Roman let Melanie in? Will Melanie's relationship insecurities let her find love with Roman? And why on earth does Dr. Easton Quinn show up again in our story?

Little Moments is a story about love, hope and never letting go of what you want. I absolutely love Roman Moretti. Not only is he beautiful to look at, but considering everything he's been through he really is the total package. 

A four lip smack review for Madison Street's Little Moments. I'm totally looking forward to Little Temptations the next installment of this series.

RILEY'S REVIEW UNTIL YOU FALL IN LOVE...BY LYSSA LAYNE

I shake my head and hold out my hand to her. "I don't know about you, Jordan, but I never settled. I fell in love with you and that hasn't changed."

Jordan's teeth clamp down on her bottom lip and if she bites any harder, she might put a hole through it. Slowly, she takes my hand and steps in my direction. Her arms move around my torso and I hold her tight. "I know you're scared, I am too. You've at least been in love before, I never had. I'm not going anywhere Jordan. Take your time, figure out what you need, and I'll be right here for you when you're ready to come home."

If you're looking for a book about a super swoon worthy, sexy cowboy, look no further than Lyssa Layne's new release Until You Fall in Love. Abram Tomko is absolutely delicious. The man can rock jeans and a white tee shirt like nobody's business. And his sexy V line is just begging to be licked. Not to mention his magnificent smile with the slightly chipped tooth. But, it's not only Abram physically that makes him so damn perfect. He is an amazing person. He lives on his families ranch with his dad where he helps take care of the family business. He just got back from California where he was taking care of his sister and then there's Jordan Glastetter. 

Abram and Jordan have grown up together. They've been best friends since they were children. Abram watched Jordan fall in love and marry his friend and fellow college baseball teammate Robby. Then he watched as Jordan lost Robby in combat while deployed. He's become her rock. The person she depends on for everything and the person who's become a surrogate father to Jordan and Robby's son R.J.

Abram is the only father R.J. has ever known. Jordan and R.J. live in a separate house on the ranch property where Abram and his dad live. Pop also loves Jordan and R.J. like they are his own. 

It all seems like the perfect arrangement until Jordan starts to worry that someday Abram was going to find a woman and fall in love and that would devastate her and R.J. What Jordan doesn't realize is Abram is definitely falling in love, but it's her he's falling in love with.

Since Abram and Jordan are always together, people who don't know them assume they are a couple and Abram is R.J's dad. Jordan always corrects people when they make this mistake. I don't think Abram minds that much. In my opinion, Abram considers R.J. his and doesn't care what anyone thinks.

Of course R.J. is a little confused. He's got a mom and he's got Abram, but he wonders why they don't kiss. And this kind of freaks Jordan out. Remember, she's worrying about the time that Abram finds someone else and how much that will affect R.J.

During Until You Fall In Love, Abram starts to have romantic feelings for Jordan, and as much as Jordan would like to give into the romantic feelings she has for Abram, she's too afraid. She's afraid Abram is settling and needs to find out what else is out there for him. So for a while, Jordan pushes Abram away. Abram is very persistent in trying to turn his friendship with Jordan into a romantic relationship. He is so romantic and is always kissing her or holding her. He is just so yummy. Eventually, Jordan stops resisting and they give a romantic relationship a try. Keep in mind that neither of them have been with the opposite sex for five years so when they finally get together it's like whoa! Very sexy, very steamy. There's a lot of pent up passion in there. When Abram takes Jordan in the horse stable believe is or not is it VERY HOT!!!

Of course there are always some people who do their best to stir the pot in any situation and the jealous, man eating Cynthia DuPont who Jordan has nicknamed Sparkles is quite the trouble maker in our story. The second she finds out Abram and Jordan aren't a couple, she tries to sink her claws into Abram. After reluctantly agreeing to go on a coffee date with her, Abram comes to realize there's only one woman he wants to be with and it's not Sparkles. Unfortunately, it's Sparkles pot stirring that causes Jordan to end her and Abram's budding relationship and move off the ranch completely.

Abram has been Jordan's rock for as long as she can remember. So when Pop has a massive heart attack, will Jordan be able to do the same for Abram? Will Pop recover? Will Jordan realize Abram is not just settling for her and R.J.? And what on earth does watermelon mean? I promise when you find out, it will melt your heart a little.

I absolutely love Abram Tomko. I've watched the trailer for Until You Fall In Love over and over because the model that plays Abram is sooooooo sexy. A wonderful story by Lyssa Layne and a four lip smack review from me. Love cowboys or just a good love story? Go one click When You Fall In Love ASAP!!!

RILEY'S REVIEW TRUSTING LIAM: A TAKING CHANCES AND FORGIVING LIES NOVEL...BY MOLLY MCADAMS

"Kennedy," I whispered, and leaned close to speak into her ear. "Yes, you can. If you would give us a chance, you'd see exactly why I would be good for you. You're scared; I want to erase your fears. You're fighting something that happened long before you met me; I want to face whatever it is head-on so the pain in your eyes goes away."

"No one was ever worth the chase. But you? You will be worth it every time. I will always chase you, Kennedy."

Getting Trusting Liam on my Kindle just after midnight on Tuesday was something I and many other Taking Chances and Forgiving Lies fans have been absolutely over the moon about since we knew this project was coming to be. Of course the second Liam arrived I started reading and as much as I wanted to finish this book in one sitting, life and pesky little first graders have a way of putting a stop to late night reading marathons.

Anyway, I have now finished Trusting Liam. Read my favorite parts more than once and basically have fallen head over heals in love with Chase Grayson's son. As one Molly McAdams Support Group member put it, I feel like I'm cheating on Chase with Liam. If you didn't get to read my post about my obsession with Chase Grayson (May 27, 2015), I will tell you he has been my obsession since I accidentally read Stealing Harper, not knowing I should have read Taking Chances first. And yes, I had a love/hate relationship with Molly through the whole Chase, Harper and Brandon debacle. 

Reading about Chase's look alike son Liam and his story with Kash and Rachel's daughter Kennedy was more than I ever could have imagined. I literally had no words through out reading Trusting Liam because I was having ridiculous feels for both Liam and Chase. 

Liam Taylor (which I'm not going to lie totally hurt my heart) has an incredible, steamy, passionate one night stand in Las Vegas with Kennedy Ryan, who actually happens to be Kash and Rachel's daughter (series collide...get it?  God I love that). After that one night, Kennedy sneaks out before Liam wakes up and they don't see each other again...until....

Kennedy and her twin sister Kira are sent to California since, men that Kash and Uncle Mason have put in prison are making threats against Kash's family, especially his daughters. A very unhappy Kennedy and Kira fly out to California with their Uncle Mason and are left in the care of their mom's brother Eli.

Now here it comes...Uncle Eli is the boss of the very hot, very sexy, tatted up, iced blue eyed Liam Taylor (still killing me). Liam following in the foot steps of his late father is a man who has yet to be tied down to one woman, preferring the company of many women and definitely of the hit it and quit it mentality. That is until his night with Kennedy. The girl he can't get out of his head. 

Obviously not being familiar with the situation, Eli asks for Liam's help getting the girls acquainted with California. He even asks Liam to see if Brandon can use the girl's help at the gym he owns. Liam does all of this not knowing who Eli's nieces actually are. Imagine his shock when he sees Kennedy at his father's (not really) juice bar and realizes it's his Moon from that night in Vegas. Yes, he calls her Moon and it's the sweetest thing ever (you'll find out why when you read). Every time Liam said, "Good night, Moon." I swooned. Okay, so I swooned over Liam through like 99.9% of the book. He is just that swoon worthy.

Unfortunately, Kennedy isn't that excited to find Liam after a year and spends a lot of time avoiding any attempt that Liam makes at getting together. Even while trying to tell Liam how wrong they are for each other, the two share some steaming hot kissing scenes that will make you wish you were Kennedy. 

Here's the thing about Kennedy. The girl doesn't believe in love or forever, which is weird considering Kash and Rachel are still very much in love and have worked through a ton of crazy hurdles in their life together. Every once in a while Kennedy will allude to why she can't ever be in love again and why she doesn't believe in marriage. She also has some serious issues about being in control and you'll find out about that too.

Just when Liam breaks down Kennedy's defenses and they finally get together...Bam! You find out what Kennedy's been hiding and why she tried to push Liam away the whole time. 

I love the way Molly brings these stories and families together. When memories of Chase came up I swear I could not stop the tears. When Liam tells Kennedy the story of one of his tattoos, I literally couldn't breath. Every once in a while yesterday my kids were like, why are you crying? How on earth do I explain Chase Grayson to them?

Anyway, Brian is definitely one of my absolute favorite characters in this story. I love that he calls Liam "Little Chachi". I love when he makes references to Liam and Chase's similarities and I love the wisdom he imparts on this younger generation. He was a good friend to Chase and now he's looking out for his son. 

Here's what killed me. I get it that Brandon raised Liam, I really do, but I hated that he called him dad. I was gutted that he referenced Chase by his first name when he told stories about him. And maybe it's because I am anti-Harper, but I blamed her for that. She should have given Liam his father's last name.

I have to say, I liked Brandon more than I thought I would have. He was good to Liam. Once again, their talks hurt my heart because it brought back so much of Chase and Harper's story. The one thing I disagree most with is when Harper told Brandon she loved Chase, but was in love with him. I'm sorry but I think you'd want to lose your virginity to the person you were in love with. 

With that being said, I loved Trusting Liam. Molly did such an amazing job weaving this story together. While it told the story of beloved characters from her other works, Molly made this Liam and Kennedy's story. Of course I left out a bunch of stuff because I want you to read this amazing book. If you haven't already, definitely go and one click Trusting Liam. I'm actually sad that I finished it because I adore Liam and Kennedy.

A five lip smack review for Trusting Liam. Kudos to Molly McAdams for continuing to do what she does best. Writing great, thought provoking stories with characters that feel insanely real and stay with you long after the story is over.

RILEY'S REVIEW A FOREVER KIND OF LOVE...BY ELLIE WADE

"Only you can love me the way I need. Only you were put on this earth with the ability to give me a lifetime of pure happiness. You are everything to me - not because of your perfections, but in spite of them. I love you for everything you are and everything you're not. I love you for all your mistakes and all your triumphs. I love you in all your brokenness and in all the ways you complete me. I love you because the kind of love we have is forever. It's rare, Jax. Not everyone gets to experience such a love, yet we have it."

Wow!  All I can say about A Forever Kind of Love  is just wow! I could not wait to get my hands on this book after reading A Beautiful Kind of Love. So when it appeared on my Kindle today, I completely gobbled it up.

Usually, I choose a quote from the book boyfriend of the story I'm reviewing, but the quote I chose came from Lily. In their relationship, Lily was always the one who told Jax the journey is the most important part of an adventure. Jax was always looking to the end result, which is kind of how he lost Lily to begin with.

I'm going to do my very best to not give anything away since you have to read this book. I'll give you one hint. If you haven't read A Beautiful Kind of Love by Ellie Wade, you need to do it right now. I'll wait go and one click. A Forever Kind of Love is the second part to Jax and Lily's story and it is one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read. The whole time I was reading I had this ache in my chest and tears in my eyes. It's an incredibly emotional read, and it's also a fantastic story.

In the end of A Beautiful Kind of Love we saw Lily tell Jax she loved him and wanted to be with him and we also saw Jax getting ready to propose to someone who wasn't Lily. My heart about shattered. I thought the story would just center around Jax trying to get out of marrying Stella because he really loved Lily. That wasn't the case at all. You see, even though Jax knew Lily was his soul mate and the person he loved more than anyone else in the world, he marries someone who's not Lily.

The story takes us back to Jax's junior year in college. Where the pressure of school, football, his dad and Lily were starting to take a toll. Given some stupid advice from his father, Jax feels like right now in his life he can't make Lily number one. So what does he do? He lets her go. He figures he's meant to be with Lily so it will all work out in the end.

What Jax didn't figure was after crushing Lily, eventually, she would move on. Inevitably, Lily did move on. But she realized it was Jax that she wanted and it would always be Jax. Unfortunately for Lily, the friendship he had forged with Stella turned into something more. So at the end of A Beautiful Kind of Love, Stella is the person Jax is waiting to give the ring to. When they got married, I was literally gutted. I couldn't believe our soul mates weren't going to be together. I was mad at Jax for moving on, I was furious at Stella for stealing Jax. 

Amazingly, Lily being the incredible woman she is, gives her friendship with Jax another chance. It hurts her, but it's better than having nothing. Not to mention the feelings Jax and Lily have always had for each other are still there. Wife or no wife. 

The cover of this book really sums up the story perfectly. Every choice has a consequence. Everything Jax and Lily did for a three year period in their lives made them the people that they are. There's a lot of heartache, but there's also happiness. I think in the end, Jax finally realizes that. 

The plot twist in our story comes about half way through. I'm so sorry, but I'm not going to give you anything other than there's a plot twist and it's huge.

I absolutely loved this story. Even though I cried and literally had an anxiety attack, I wouldn't want it any other way. I still adore Jax Porter, but in this story I thought Lily was really just on point with everything. 

There are books you read that you wish would never end and Lily and Jax's story is one of them. A tear filled five lip smack review for A Forever Kind of Love. A story that will stay with me for a long time.

RILEY'S REVIEW HARMONY...BY ADDISON JANE

"Was that necessary, you caveman?" she asked, still smiling once her laughter had calmed.

"Tell me who you belong to," I said sternly as I stood at the foot of the bed.

"Come again?" she asked, confused.

I grabbed her ankles and pulled her toward me, the blankets coming too and scrunching underneath her. Her eyes sparkled up at me, her breathing labored as she quickly realized what I wanted.

"Tell me... who you... belong to," I said slowly and deeply, ennunciating every word.

She licked her lips. "You."

"Tell me," I demanded, moving my lips closer to hers. So close I could lick her perfect bow-shaped mouth.

She didn't hesitate. "I belong to you, Kit. I'm yours."

"Again!" I demanded through gritted teeth as I pressed my knee harder against her, forcing her mouth to fall open.

"Yours, Kit. I'm yours," she whispered, her eyes watching me, never breaking contact with mine.

What happens after this interaction between Kit and Harmony is so freakin' hot you might need a cold shower to cool off. Donovan "Kit" Cranshaw is one hundred percent alpha male and uber sexy. The things that man does and says made me swoon through Addison Jane's entire novel. And yes, Kit is a caveman, but he's the best kind of caveman you can imagine. I can't help myself, I think the whole Kit laying claim to Harmony thing is hot as hell.

Harmony Jones is a club girl for the Brothers By Blood MC. In case you're new to the planet and you don't know what a club girl is I'll fill you in. Club girls take care of the brothers in the MC. They cook for the men, they clean for the men and they take care of other needs too. Now I'm not sure in the real motorcycle world what happens exactly, but I will tell you, strangely enough I found some of Harmony's chores as a club girl very erotic. When Slider walked into the bathroom and needed Harmony's "services", I'm not going to lie, I got a little hot and bothered.

Harmony might be a club girl, but she knows exactly who and what she is and makes no attempt to cover up or hide this fact from anybody. She's not trying to be anybody's old lady like many of the other club girls. Right now for Harmony, life as a club girl is exactly what she needs. Brothers By Blood gives her a place to live and pays for her college. As for the men, as long as they're respectful, Harmony doesn't mind keeping them happy.

For most of Harmony's life men have been a let down. She doesn't know who her father is and for the most part her mom's relationships with men have been fleeting. So Harmony has trust issues and doesn't plan on giving her heart to anyone.

That is until Kit comes along. From the second Kit sees Harmony in the club house he knows he wants Harmony to be his old lady. He sees the potential in Harmony to be more than just a club girl. You would think Harmony would jump at the chance to settle down with sexy Kit, but her attitude is just the opposite. She has no interest in anything long term.

Kit has become the President of another chapter of Brothers By Blood when his father retires from that position. Kit is a born leader and everyone including Harmony sees that. He shows up at the club chapter where Harmony is because his best friend Optimus is that club's Prez. In honor of the new Prez, Optimus' chapter is having several days of celebration to welcome Kit into the fold.  Kit is attracted to Harmony from the moment he lays his eyes on her. Harmony is just as attracted to Kit only she isn't looking for permanent. She's looking for a good time. When they finally come together,  their chemistry is absolutely smoldering. Just hearing Harmony describe Kit's body is mouth watering. His body sounds phenomenal and thinking about him is his cut with nothing under it is just....damn...

After Kit's time at the club is up, he obviously doesn't want to leave Harmony, but he also respects that Harmony's life is there. They promise to see each other as much as they can while Harmony is still in school. Harmony's not worried about long term because she feels Kit's going to leave her just like all the other men in her life. All the while Kit trying to make her see he wants something permanent with her.

Add into the romance of Kit and Harmony a scary stranger in a very expensive suit who keeps trying to kidnap Harmony and a MC brother who definitely isn't who he claims to be. Now you've now got a novel that's not only sexy, but it also a nail biter.

There are two plot twists in Harmony that you won't see coming at all. In addition to the plot twists, Addison Jane starts building her next story line between Optimus and Harmony's best friend Chelsea. I cannot wait to see where that story goes. Optimus obviously has love for Chelsea, but something is holding him back from making her truly his.

If you love MC books with strong women characters and steamy hot brothers who love their women like nobody's business, definitely read Harmony. It's sexy, it's naughty and there's enough angst and suspense just to keep things interesting. A definite four lip smack review and a new book boyfriend to swoon over.
