RILEY'S REVIEW STUCK UP SUIT...BY PENELOPE WARD & VI KEELAND

I loved Graham J. Morgan. Mr. Big Prick. Stuck-up Suit. Celibate in Manhattan. Fifty Shades of Morgan. I loved them all. I loved that he appreciated all of my idiosyncrasies. I loved that he protected me. I loved that he made me feel for the first time in my life like I was the most important person to someone - to him. The thing was, depending on these results, I would no longer be the most important thing.

You see him on your morning train. He's never been there before. He's beyond gorgeous. Thick, perfectly styled dark hair. Fitted suit on a body that could belong to Adonis. Then he opens his mouth, and all you can think of is, what a prick this guy is. And that's just a shame, because he is absolutely delicious.

Then guess what? The stuck up suit leaves the train in a huff and you find his phone left on the train. You tell yourself you'll give back the phone, but you decide to have a little fun first. So you send a few text messages, make some phone calls and find out Graham J. Morgan is exactly what you thought he was...a stuck up suit!

Of course you do the honorable thing and hand deliver the phone to Mr. Stuck-up Suits's office, where it seems everyone is absolutely terrified of him. When he finally emerges from his office, he is as beautiful as you remember and completely obnoxious. So you give him a piece of your mind and leave the phone with his receptionist. But, you don't only give him a piece of your mind, you fire off some naughty pictures and make a comment about his mom.

Yup, that's exactly how Soraya Venedetta starts her relationship with the infamous Graham Morgan. A relationship Soraya doesn't ever believe will happen because she is so not Graham's type. Obviously she's sassy and I adore that about her. She's also tattooed and tends to get something pierced when she's upset. Not to mention her hair which is black except for the tips that she dyes to match her mood.

Graham is A. upset because Soraya's comment about his mom is on point and B. very intrigued by this woman with the amazing cleavage and the feather tattoo on her foot.

The two begin texting back and forth. Their conversations are suggestive and hilarious. Somehow, the stuck up suit gets Soraya to agree to go out with him. Their date is as interesting as their conversations. And from the start Graham Morgan aka Mr. Stuck-up Suit, decides he wants lots of dates with Soraya.

Soraya and Graham have sizzling chemistry from the start. And yes they get hotter and hotter as the story evolves. Mylanta...I needed a cold shower and I created some of my own scenes with Graham.

It's not all perfect. You learn why Graham has turned into well, a prick. Hey even his grandma calls him that so it's ok. Soraya has also not had the perfect life and you learn about her issues. Penelope and Vi have really developed these two characters into people you genuinely care about. I know I fell for Graham super fast.

Into every relationship some rain must fall and the authors drop a hurricane on Graham and Soraya. Will they get through it? Will Soraya run like she always does? Will Graham go back to being his horrible stuck up self? If you haven't gotten your hands on Stuck-up Suit, you really need to. It's laugh out loud funny, with just enough worry to make it interesting.

Stuck-up Suit and Graham Morgan have fast become one of my favorites. It's an excellent read, that will be in my re-read pile. I loved the humor, I loved the sexiness and I loved, loved, loved the chemistry of Graham and Soraya.

Five huge lip smacks to Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland, a writing team that is one of my favorites!! Next book please!!

RILEY'S REVIEW UNDONE (VOLUMES 1,2,3)...BY CALLIE HARPER

What do you do when you're a huge rockstar who's become a social media pariah because you've publicly humiliated your media darling girlfriend? Well, if you're Ash Black of the mega popular group The Blacklist, your PR team does some huge damage control. And that damage control comes in the form of a beautiful Russian children's librarian.

After said break up from Mandy Monroe, Ash is in New York City trying to keep a low profile. But, hey your Ash Black and low profile just doesn't really work out. So when Ash finds himself running from an angry mob, he pops into the nearest place he can find. That place happens to be behind the desk of one Anika Ivanov, the sexiest librarian Ash has ever laid his eyes on.

From this meeting a plan is born. Ash's PR people are spinning their wheels and come up with a plan to get Ash back in America's good graces. Date said librarian, "fall in love" with the librarian, get engaged at a New Year's Eve concert and then have the librarian dump your sorry self a week later. Sounds like a plan right? To get Anika to agree to this plan, Ash has to promise to fund the library she works in for like the next twenty years. The library is on the short list to close and Ash's gift will insure that it stays open.

Why would Ash agree to that? He's totally gorgeous. Dark hair and eyes. An insanely toned body, covered with some nice ink. He could get any girl he wants to go along with this plan. Ana intrigues him. The two have a very physical attraction from the second they meet.

This very business like transaction involves lawyers, NDAs, Ana getting completely made over and a whirlwind of activities for Ash and Ana to be seen together "falling in love" for an entire month.

Their first PR engagement, Ash's family's annual Christmas party. Did I mention not only is he Ash Black of The Blacklist? He's also Asher Kavanaugh, son of Richard Kavanaugh, billionaire real estate mogul and investor. Needless to say while he was alive Ash was a complete disappointment to him. He was basically raised by his grandma and then shipped off to boarding school, which he got kicked out of.

I should also probably mention that part of Ash and Ana's contract stipulates there is to be no sexual contact. That stipulation goes out the window pretty quickly. In a steamy encounter in a secret hallway during the Christmas party, Ash lets Ana know just how attracted to her he is and it definitely got warm in the room as I was reading.

Ash and Ana are very sexual and sensual. He wakes up feelings in Ana that she would have never let out and Ash is amazing in the take charge capacity. 

During their month together you can see Ash and Ana developing real feelings for each other. At different points in time they both have thoughts of the L word in their heads and it scares them. 

Every part of the plan seems to be working our beautifully. Lola, Ash's PR guru is ecstatic at the way things are going. Ash's reputation is getting back to normal and soon the timid librarian will be just a memory. 

It's the night of The Blacklist's New Year's Eve concert. A huge moment for our latest it couple, who are catching stronger and stronger feelings for each other. During the concert Ash proposes and Ana accepts. Then at the after party they kind of go their separate ways. Ash is being Ash and Ana is drinking shots because she knows this thing is almost over. Only the feelings she has for Ash aren't going anywhere.

By the time Ash finds Ana at the party, she's being carried off by Ash's best mate Conor because "somehow" Ana is passed out drunk. Ash who is also having feelings about not wanting this to end has a plan. He's going to "kidnap" his fiancée and take her to his out in the wilderness cabin where he knows they'll be snow in due to an impending blizzard.

Two more bits of information. Ash's friend Conor is a complete tool. And the experiences Ash gives Ana at his cabin are out of this world sensual. Like take me Ash I'm yours sensual. Let's just say Ash Black is extremely good at EVERYTHING he does.

Does Ash get the girl? Can Ana live the rockstar life style? Can these two make an actual go of a relationship?

Of course I'm leaving out a ton of stuff because you really should one click these three books and read them yourself. They're sexy, they're sweet, they're funny and they'll give you your next book boyfriend. Wait, I want Ash to myself!

A solid four lip smack review for Callie Harper's Undone. I am definitely looking forward to getting to know Ash's brother Heath in his upcoming book Untamed.

RILEY'S REVIEW CATCHING SUMMER...BY L.P. DOVER

Catching Summer is book 6 in the Second Chances series by LP Dover.  It definitely can be read as a standalone.  This was my first book by this author and I really enjoyed it.  The main characters were very likeable and I love how the author really gives us background information on both of them so I really felt like I knew where they were coming from.

Summer Jacobs is recovering from the loss of her MMA fighter husband, who was brutally killed in her presence.  She has been gradually healing with the help of her therapist, her sister and some very good friends. Summer also has immersed herself in her new restaurant that she runs with her brother in law and her sister.

Evan Matthews is a star football player, who is the brother to one of Summer’s good friends.  He and his teammates frequent Summer’s restaurant often and she has definitely caught his eye.  Evan is an all-around good guy and handsome as hell!  Though he has a few people that have done him wrong in life, he is definitely well liked and respected by his peers.

As they begin a new relationship, Summer and Evan have to face many road blocks and I really appreciate the way the author has made them handle these situations in a mature and adult way. I love that the minor problems don’t turn in to something they are not. Evan and Summer trust each other.  But the trouble that is not obvious is the worst for them.  There is something very dangerous that they are facing and as time goes on, trouble and tragedy find them.

I really enjoyed this book and I will definitely look into the others in this series.  LP Dover has written a love story where her two main characters have definitely beaten the odds to find their happily ever after! A solid 4 star rating for Catching Summer by LP Dover.

RILEY'S REVIEW LOVING YOU... BY KELLY ELLIOTT

Oh Kelly Elliot, only you could tie three separate series together in a conclusion that made me laugh, cry and have well, every possible feeling that I could. Yes, Kelly Elliott has concluded her Wanted, Broken and Love Wanted in Texas Series, by bringing Jase Morris and Taylor Atwood together in Loving You.

I truly love each of these series and while I am extremely sad they are ending, Kelly has done an amazing job crossing characters between the series and giving everyone an ending that each family deserves. I really love when authors cross characters over between books and series and Kelly does this seamlessly between three series.

Loving You is Jase and Taylor's story. They've known each other for a while and Taylor has never hidden her interest in Jase, Jase fears he's not the right man for Taylor. After college Jase is going back to work on his family's ranch in Llano, quite unlike Taylor who's moving to Austin to take a job as a financial analyst at her grandpa's company. So of course Jase thinks Taylor would never settle for living the life of a rancher.

Here's the thing. While they were together in Paris (a college thing with other classmates). They finally gave in to their feelings for each other and had an amazing night together. Ugh, then Jase being a boy goes and over thinks things and the two go their separate ways.

I honestly could not put this book down. Which is basically how is goes for me with every Kelly Elliot book that I have ever read. She draws you in with her stories and I swear I wish I could be friends with the characters she creates, because she just does an incredible job. Jase is a total hottie. Dark hair, dark eyes and the way Taylor describes his body...oh my glitter where do I get me one of those? I love it when he calls Taylor sweetness and I love that their love is so real. Taylor herself is a very cool chick. But then all of the Love Wanted in Texas series kids are awesome. 

The friendships of the characters between the three series are one of the reasons Kelly Elliot continued to draw me in. Usually, I lose interest around the third or fourth book of a series. Kelly Elliot kept me coming back for EVERY book in three different series. I don't know how the woman works her magic, all I know is I will read absolutely everything she writes.

Ok, so back to Loving You, whether you call it fate or destiny, Jase and Taylor find their way back to each other. Things move pretty quickly between them, probably because they've loved each other for a long time. Have I mentioned how very sexy they are together? If I haven't, I'll let you know now. Jase and Taylor are sizzling between the sheets and well, really, any place you can imagine, they are hot, hot, hot!

As much as I'd like to tell you they lived happily ever after, you know there has to be a bump in the road. My heart hurt for both Jase and Taylor, wondering if they were going to find their way back to each other. So yes, I cried a few tears and hoped for the best. Now you know I'm not sharing the outcome with you because I want you to one click Loving You.

I've said already that I love cross overs and obviously to tie up three series, Kelly needed to bring everyone into the fold. I'm happy to say you'll get updates on everyone and so many good things happen that you'll forget to be sad because well, this really is it for all of these beloved characters.

I can't say enough good things about Loving You and Kelly Elliot. The story is terrific. Jase and Taylor are amazing. And I would say it is an absolutely fitting ending to a series that I have loved since I picked Gunner Mathews to be my first number one book boyfriend the year I started this blog. 

Speaking of Gunner, his bonus epilogue brought me to tears (ok, so did Layton's), but you know the way I feel about Gunner. It was completely fitting for Gunner and Ellie to finish the series since it started with them way back in Wanted. And yes after all this time Gunner still has the power to make me swoon.

A five lip smack review for Loving You and a five lip smack review for an absolutely beautiful series that I know I will go back and read again, and again. Thank you Kelly Elliot for making me fall in love so very many times.

EMILY REVIEWS STYLO FANTOME'S THE BAD ONES

The Bad Ones by Stylo Fanome was definitely different from any book I have read.  It was bloody and gory and violent, yet so wonderfully bad. And I mean that in a really good way!  I am not a fan of dark reads but I had no trouble staying in this book with these 2 insanely dark characters.

Constantine or Con as he is called is a roguishly handsome boy who comes from a life of affluence and violence.  He has a very Jekyll and Hyde personality and has been extremely successful in hiding his very dark side. 

Dulcie, pronounced Dull-See is the quiet, shy and quirky artist.  She comes from the trailer park and is just biding her time until she can leave the small town behind.  What Dulcie doesn’t even realize is that she is hiding a dark, disturbed side as well.

Con sees Dulcie for who and what she really is.  On the outside they appear to be the big bad wolf and the innocent red riding hood, but oh, that is not the truth at all.  The chemistry and attraction between Dulcie and Con is off the charts.  Hey were made for each other; a perfect match.

Con and Dulcie’s time together is filled with passion, murder, deception lust and, well craziness…or complete sanity?  I’ll let you decide for yourself because though it seems insane, it totally makes sense for them.  Regardless of the fact that they are so destructive, I felt sorry for them in some regards. They rose from absolute horrific situations and survived the only way they could.  I was happy they found each other because I believe they would not have survived alone.

Stylo Fantome always impresses me with her way with words.  She has a gift that makes me like the bad guys and Con and Dulcie are definitely bad.  Their passion and lust for one another is on another level and oddly enough, they were really each other’s soul mates in a beautiful way.  I devoured this book in one sitting, because it was just not possible for me to put it down. Action packed, naughty, evil and sexy, The Bad Ones is a must read!!!  5 scary lip smacks to Stylo Fantome and The Bad Ones!!!

EMILY'S REVIEW SAVE ME...BY HEIDI MCLAUGHLIN

I want to start this review by saying that I believe that Save Me is Heidi McLaughlin’s best book to date.  Save Me is well written, thoughtful and an absolutely wonderful read that I loved from page one until the very end!

Save Me is book 3 in The Archer Brothers series, but it can also be read as a stand-alone.  The author added a preface before the prologue giving you some background details as well as lots of information throughout the book, making it easy not to feel as though you are missing something.  

With that being said I highly recommend you read books 1 and 2; Here With Me and Choose Me for a lot of reasons. Both of these books are very well written excellent stories that will have you on the edge of your seat and you really need to meet the beauty of Evan Archer!! 

Save Me does focus on all four SEALs but the center of this story is Tucker McCoy. Tucker is a Navy SEAL who was declared dead 6 years ago.  Much to his surprise and the 3 other men on his team he comes home to find out he is dead and his wife and daughter have vanished.  Tucker and his team search for answers as to what and why this all happened to them they also search for Penny and Claire McCoy.  But Penny is hiding and nobody knows why. 

The story begins to unfold from there and boy, was there an insanely devilish and detailed story.  I could not put my kindle down, I was completely captivated!  People who I thought were bad weren’t and people who appear good might not be. I really loved how the team along with some help worked together and Heidi really showed that they were truly brothers.

Tucker McCoy is the perfect hero. He is so strong and protective as well as kind and loving. His love for his wife was so deep and unwavering even in the worst of circumstances. I loved being inside his head because to me he really is such a complex man.  One who could be so gentle, understanding and loving one minute and a man who dreams of ways to torture and kill the next. I could not blame him either; hell I wanted to torture and maim some people myself.  My heart really bled for Tucker because things were just never easy, but my Tucker had patience and determination and shouldn’t a man as admirable as him get his happy ever after?

This book had me on so many emotional ups and downs.  I cried more than once, but there was a scene in a motel that had me weeping, I was completely done for.  There is nothing better than book that makes you feel, that makes you lose yourself in its pages and characters.  No matter if you feel happy, sad, mad amused or in love, it evokes such strong feelings. This book did just that for me. Heidi McLaughlin has really created some magic in these pages and I give her and Save Me 5 hero worthy lip smacks!!
