EMILY REVIEWS SUGAR...BY MANDI BECK

Let me tell you a little something..... A bad boy country singer with a southern drawl using the endearment "Sugar" and I'm done for. That's right, completely effing D O N E!!!  

I can't even begin to tell you all the ways that Beau McCrae has just up and stolen my heart. And I might could start talkin' all southern like, cause damn, it's just plain old sexy....  hehehe. But I'm totally serious....

I absolutely loved this story by Mandi Beck. I guess you could say it was a spinoff from her seriously Amazing book Stoned, but you don't have to have read Stoned in order to read Sugar.  But seriously, you should anyway. Ok, back to Sugar and the hotness that is Beau McCrae.  Beau has gotten himself in a bit of trouble lately and those country music people aren't too pleased with him. Shopping for a new label Beau's manager calls his old friend Addy Mae Masterson to help him out.

And this is where the fun begins.... Beau, that sexy as sin, trouble with a capital T country star meets his match with sassy, but oh so sweet and beautiful Addy. Their chemistry is off the charts no matter how hard Addy tries to deny it. I loved the sexy flirting and easy way these two had with each other. It was really so endearing. Addy becomes Beau's handler and the more time these two spend together the more the sexual tension is amped way the heck up.

And then there's the scene at the lake... Made me blush, then take a cold shower.. I am talking butterflies in my stomach sexy as f**k... One of the sexiest, most sensual scenes I've ever read.. Damn Mandi Beck...

Now, what would a good story be without a little trouble right?  Well these two got a whole heap of things going against them.. bad reputations, pain in the butt mothers, dead exes and definitely some adults acting all scared. Can I just say that I'm not a huge fan of Joelynn McCrae?!?!? I forgive her because after all, she gave us Beau and a sexy rodeo cowboy named Sealy McCrae,  Beau's brother.

I read this book in one sitting, it was just that good!! Lighthearted, yet heavy, sweet and sexy as sin, Sugar just did it for me! I really loved Beau and Addy, as well as the secondary characters. What a fun way to spend my day!

5 sexy as heck southern stars for Sugar by Mandi Beck

EMILY REVIEWS THREE IS WAR...BY PAM GODWIN

Three is a War is book 3 in The Tangled Lies series by Pam Godwin. You must read book 1- One is a Promise and book 2- Two is a Lie before you read Three is a War.  This book was an emotional roller coaster. I cried, I was mad, I was happy, I felt apprehensive... you name it, I'm pretty sure I felt that emotion.  I really really loved every word! Pam Godwin had me so engrossed and so immersed I really was lost in her pages.

Now, we know where Book 2 leaves off, Danni drugged looking at the words "it's not over" in the bottom of her coffee cup.... Well guess what?, it most certainly is not over!!  Trace and Cole and Danni holed up with nothing but time and decisions to make on the horizon. I mean, you didn't think they were letting her walk away did you???

       "We're a tangled, damaged, unfortunate tragedy of love" - Danni

Well, I always had my favorite of the 2 men, but honestly, either one is a win win right?  I mean Cole is this sexy as all hell hot surfer/biker guy.. who wouldn't fall head over heals? Then comes Trace.. This handsome Nordic God... How does Dani even begin to choose?  The sexy times between the couples, and a certain Birthday scene... smoking hot! To be perfectly honest, it seems completely impossible to me for Danni to let someone go..

   "I fell in love with two men and lost myself. I'll stay in love with one and find myself again"- Danni

Well as time goes on, it becomes clear who Danni is going to choose... but seriously, expect the unexpected because things can change in a minute. I have to say, my heart was torn into three giving each one of these characters a piece of it. My heart hurt for them all.  There was no easy choice, there was no obvious choice, really, there was no choice at all....

One of my favorite things from this book is when Danni describes Trace and Cole in the form that most relates to who she is a person; a dancer. "If Cole were a dance he'd be the Tango" and "Trace is a beautiful Waltz". This, these lines right here and the descriptions that come along with them... well it's everything, it's perfection, it's Cole and Trace personified.

     "My heart beats for you and only you, not because you command it, but because we're meant to be"- Danni

Who is Danni talking about?.... oh enjoy the trip and put your seals belt on, cause this is one hell of a ride!!!  I can't even tell you how much I love this series!! It is easily in my top favorite series ever!! Pam Godwin somehow, some way writes a love triangle that makes you feel love and compassion for all three characters. They were each innocent, yet guilty and completely endearing.  I fell in love with all three of these characters, in fact, I'm hoping Ms Godwin decides to give us a whole other story, the story of the man who was not the one for Danni. Cause for reals, I loved him!

5 lip smacks for Three is a War by Pam Godwin...

LA REVIEWS FALLEN HEIR...BY ERIN WATT

Yes, it's official! I have once again been ruined by the Royals! Who knew that beneath that sexy, charming, I just want to get laid and have a good time personality, Easton Royal has much deeper emotions than you could ever guess?

Fallen Heir is Easton's story and let me tell you, it gives us a whole new side of Easton and a lot of clues that will have you saying hmmmmmmm.

But let's talk about Easton. He's super hot, super rich and you'll find out in Fallen Heir surprisingly sweet. Even though he's kind of cocky, he really is the whole package. Bonus, he's about to start his senior year which of course according to Easton, will be one non-stop party.

His year starts off with a literal bang, (Just ask Ms. Mann his math teacher). and good natured Easton expects it to just keep getting better from there. Only some people, like his dad, are expecting him to start growing up and he is not about that.

I need to pause for a minute and just give a shout out to Erin Watt, because Easton Royal reads exactly like an ADHD kid and I just loved that. I know it seems weird but, it explains so much about Easton and added a whole other dimension to his personality.  His impulsiveness, his addictive personality, it's all just, wow. So I'm not sure which if either of this writing team has ADHD, but kudos because the writing for Easton's character is so on point.

Okay, now back to Easton's story. After class with Ms. Mann, Easton runs into a new student, someone he's never seen before at Astor. Within seconds of meeting, Easton decides new girl is definitely not his type, too plain, not a good enough body and seemingly not one of those super easy girls that tend to gravitate his way. Hartley Wright is the exact opposite. She's definitely not charmed by Easton, or the Royal name at all. Of course this makes her way more interesting to Easton and begins his hardcore press to make Hartley want him.

So you might be thinking Fallen Heir is just going to be one big senior year party. You couldn't be more wrong. This book has some serious stuff going on. Hartley's story is truly heart breaking and just like Easton, you'll want to reach out and help her. But sometimes, even the best intentions come with tragic consequences. 

It's not all sunshine and rainbows for Easton either. He fights with Ella, he fights with his dad and for the first time ever, begins to have doubts in himself. I almost forgot the ex that wants him back and a crazy girl who wants to pretend to date him. Again you'll just want to reach out to Easton and fix everything for him.

Just like the first three Royal stories, there are secrets to be found out and mysteries to solve. I don't know how I'll be able to wait for the next book because damn, there's so many questions that need answering. I feel like I'm rambling, but this book is so good and I want to tell you so much more. But I can't! If you've been living in a cave and haven't read any of this amazing series yet, omg go and one click them ALL now. If you've been waiting for Fallen Heir, start reading because this storyline is amazing!

If you're wondering, all the Royal boys make appearances in Fallen Heir (not enough Reed for me), but they pop up throughout the story. I'm going to share with you, those twins have piqued my interest. There is some story going on with them and I'm hoping to get me a Sawyer and Sebastian book soon. They're so young, but so naughty. I feel guilty having the feels for them I do since I have kids older than those boys. I blame it on the Royal charm.

If you're looking for a five star read, look no further. Fallen Heir is a fantastic read!

LA REVIEWS THE SCARS BETWEEN US...BY M.K. SCHILLER

She is the girl who lost everything.

I am the boy who never had anything.

It isn't often I read a book that makes me want to be a better person. MK Schiller's The Scars Between Us is one of those rare books that made me want to do just that.

Emma Cooper had every reason to be bitter and dark, but she wasn't. She found the good in everyone and every situation. She was light to other's darkness. Her kindness and compassion were truly beautiful. She may be one of my favorite book girls ever.

If Emma makes me want to be a better person, Aiden Sheffield makes me want to be very naughty. A former marine, who now makes a living rescuing abused dogs and fighting in Vegas. He is the kind of guy that women and men stop and stare at. Beautiful blue eyes, against dark hair and the body of a god, I am currently obsessed with him. Unfortunately, his personality does not match his physical beauty. The fighting may relieve some of his aggression, but it doesn't help the darkness in his soul.

I love this story because it is different from anything else I've read this summer. The story is gripping and never quite what you think it is. There are surprises and plot twists and it's just so good I couldn't put it down. I had to know what was going to happen.

The story begins with Emma and her mom going on a road trip. Mom wants Emma to carry out a task for her and for some reason it involves Aiden. When Emma meets Aiden he wants nothing to do with her. No explanation why, no reason, he just wants her gone and out of his life.

But in a story where everyone's keeping secrets, things rarely go as planned, Aiden winds up taking the trip to Linx, Texas with Emma. Linx, Texas, a place so horrible, Aiden swore he'd never go back.

Before they go to Linx, Aiden and Emma take a sort of road trip. They stop at several places and somewhere along the road they start to develop feelings for one another. Feelings that they try very hard not to act on, since Emma has a boyfriend in California.

As Aiden and Emma are on this road trip more about their backgrounds is revealed and the way their lives are intertwined will blow your mind! M.K. Schiller did a fantastic job weaving this story. I loved it from begin to end!

If you're wondering if there was any romance in The Scars Between Us, YES THERE WAS!! And it was amazing. Aiden Sheffield had me swooning like a school girl with just one kiss. 

Five swooning stars for Aiden and The Scars Between Us. If you haven't one clicked it yet, do it now!!  Oh and if we could just get a frontal view of the cover model that would be great. Because from the side, he is one of the most beautiful creatures I've ever seen!!

EMILY'S REVIEW DRUNK DIAL...BY PENELOPE WARD

OMG!! I just finished this late last night, and I am in LOVE!!!  Landon Roderick is a seriously hot, tattooed, totally chill dude and yet totally alpha when it counts.  After receiving a drunk dial call from his childhood friend, he's totally open to talking and catching up with her... I love it!!!

Rana Saloomi. Yeah, I know, that name is too funny... And it totally fits her. Beautiful Rana Banana, as Landon called his childhood friend is a belly dancer, yet totally insecure and totally funny!!  How can someone who belly dances be insecure??  Trust me, Rana is sweet and vulnerable and so damn endearing. I totally want to hang with her!!

So, that drunk dial brought back a friendship between 2 kids and so much more. Living in Michigan and Cali Rana and Landon got to know each other again through flirty phone calls.  I loved how they had such a connection without having seen each other in so long, but both were keeping secrets... Secrets that were big. On both sides.

As the story unfolds and we begin to peel back the layers of Landon and Rana, their pasts clearly are getting in the way of their future, but only because they are keeping them hidden from each other!! Their relationship grows and develops so naturally, it was really beautiful.

Secrets are revealed, and then revealed again. Rana and Landon have to battle with their pasts and their own demons to keep their relationship together. I found these scenes especially endearing because they talked and thought about things but didn't run. Their maturity and behavior was very admirable!!

So many obstacles to overcome, so many secrets to be uncovered and so much love and sexiness.  I read this book in one sitting. There was no way I couldn't find out what they were keeping from each other and how they would get through this!!!  Not everything is always perfect, and life is tough and I swear they are better people because of this!!

So 5 honest lip smacks to Penelope Ward and Drunk Dial... Hey, maybe we should try it sometime, ya never know!!!

REVIEW WITH LA....ENRAGE BY RACHEL VAN DYKEN

Holy Organized Crime Batman! I have one word (okay, many words) for Rachel Van Dyken's Enrage, the latest book in the Eagle Elite series, and it's BRILLIANT!!!

Rachel literally hit the ball out of the park with Enrage. I don't know how she does it, but every book in this series just keeps getting better! There are series that after a few books you're kind of meh. NOT. THIS. SERIES! I couldn't wait to get my hands on Enrage. 

Before Enrage was released, I did some rereads of the other books in the series. I love them even more now than I did when they were brand new to me. Then I started Enrage and Rachel had me captivated and unable to put this book down. The storyline is fantastic, the details are perfection and the plot twist is unbelievable. This is one of those series that could go on forever. I would buy every single book and not care one drop about the price!

Enrage is the story of Dante Alfero and El Petrov. I know the Italians and the Russians right? It starts out the way you think, Italians and Russians against each other. The goal in this book is to make sure Dante accepts his spot in the family as the head of the Alfero family. Trace's grandpa is getting older and he's trying to right a huge wrong he created back in the day.

These five mob bosses are young and hot and bring fear into the hearts of those who would go up against them. I love that all the characters play a big part in all of the stories and Enrage is no different. From the guys "training" Dante, to family dinners, I can't get enough of them. 

I've been reading this series from the start and of course I've fallen in love many times during the course of the stories. I was a Nixon girl for a minute, until I met Chase. Chase has been my favorite forever. He's hot. He's funny and loyal to a fault. And then I met Dante. Big, built, gorgeous, blue eyed, black haired Dante. At first I didn't think I'd like Dante. He's got so much anger and at the start of Enrage. He's cruel to El and says the most horrible things to her.

As they get to know each other, of course feelings start to change. When this couple acts on their attraction...the hotness factor goes from hot to blistering. With one kiss, Dante turned me into a melted puddle of goo. His physical description alone is enough to set any girl on fire. But Dante's kiss? Mama Mia! I couldn't breathe! El is definitely not the girl Dante thought she was. And Dante? He is everything you could possibly imagine and more. He seriously gives Chase a run for the money in hotness. Dante just exudes a sexiness that once again makes me wish fictional characters could be real.

If you've been reading the series expect all your favorite characters to be involved in family drama, witness the crowning of a new family head and deception so painful it hurts. Yes, I cried. I cried a lot. 

Even with that being said, I loved Enrage and this entire series. Rachel writes a story that flows perfectly, you can't put down and has the incredible ability to make you fall completely in love with, um, murdering mob bosses. It's ok when it's for honor. I promise.

Five shooting (get it?) stars for Enrage and my favorite mob family ever!

REVIEW TIME WITH LA BULLY...BY PENELOPE DOUGLAS

I have a confession to make (don't judge). I just read the book Bully by Penelope Douglas last week. I know what you're thinking. L? How could you miss out on such an awesome book for all this time. The truth is, I don't know how I missed reading it. The good news is, I FINALLY DID and omg what an amazing read!!

Let's talk about the physical description of Jared Trent. It actually made my heart beat a little faster. Dark hair, dark intense eyes. The intensity of his gaze penetrated into my soul and I never even saw him. His personality so brooding and intense that he's still in my brain and I finished Bully about a week and a half ago.

Jarred doesn't start out a swoon worthy, perfect boyfriend. He started out as a jerk. He was a bully. A Horrible bully. He treated Tate (or Tatum as he called her) terribly, so badly she went away junior
year to study abroad. He played a sick game with Tate, putting her down, turning people against her, he completely embodied the meaning of the word bully.

It's something Tate can't understand, because until the summer of the year they were thirteen they were best friends. They were together all the time. Sneaking across their backyards to hang out at night, Jared helped Tate put back together the pieces after her mother passed away. Now going into their senior year, they are bitter enemies. Only this time Tate doesn't plan on being Jared's punching bag.

This time Tate plans on evening the score and every time she retaliates against something Jared does to her, her brain tells her, this is how a bully is born. But, because of how good that whole getting back at Jared thing feels, every time he pushes, she pushes back.  Until one time she pushes too hard.

There were a lot, I repeat a lot of shitty things Jared did to Tate in Bully. But when Tate finally breaks Jared. IT. WAS. GUT. WRENCHING. I cried for Jared, I cried for Tate and I cried because everything was finally out in the open. Well almost everything. Because if you are like me and haven't read Bully, I'm leaving you the best parts to discover.

Okay, I'll share one because it was just so super hot. There's a kiss between Jared and Tate. A kiss filled with pent up anger and desperation. A kiss that was soooooooo hot, I had to stand in front of the AC. At that moment all I thought about was how much I wanted to be Tate.

I love Penelope Douglas' writing and I honestly don't know why it took me so long to get to read Bully. But, I can also tell you I won't ever wait long again. Like all Penelope's books don't get to comfortable, because there's always a twist around the corner.

I can't imagine you haven't read it, but just in case, go and one click or buy Bully ASAP! I'm obsessed with this book!

Five super swooning stars for Jared and Bully.

REVIEW TIME!!! FIREFLY...BY MOLLY MCADAMS

You know you always have that one author that no matter what you're reading, if their book comes out, you drop everything and read it? Everybody has one. Mine is Molly McAdams. And yes I stopped what I was reading because Firefly appeared on my Kindle and well, I HAD TO READ IT. 

In case you don't know, Firefly is the second book in Molly's Redemption series. It's a departure from the usual Molly. But I promise it is absolutely fantastic. I loved the first book, but omg Firefly just blew me away. 

Lily O'Sullivan is an Irish mob princess. She lives a lonely life trapped in the guest house on her family's land. Forever waiting for the love of her life, Kieran. Kieran who lived to protect Lily. Kieran who changed so much over four years Lily began to question their love. 

The life she lives is not a life she embraces. Her father Mickey is a terrible man. He keeps Lily a prisoner and never shows her fatherly love. She is a pawn in her dad's sick game and her only hope is  to run from the life style she's grown to hate. 

She finds solace in her weekly trips to a shop in town. It's here where a gorgeous dark haired, dark eyed stranger catches her attention. For two years the two of them never speak. But this mysterious creature begins to consume Lily's everything thought. And let me tell you he consumed my thoughts as well. Dare. His name is Dare and I love him. That's me talking not Lily. 

I want to tell you so much about this book, but I can't. I need you to one click Firefly asap. Molly's writing is absolutely perfect. They story has suspense. It has angst, sadness and of course love. 

Once again Molly gives us a love triangle that will have us arguing whether Lily should give her love to Kieran or Dare. To me the love interests represent light and dark and I promise you'll wonder who is truly dark up until the very end.

I love how Molly puts the story together. You're never really sure where the loyalties of some major players lie. You never get comfortable for too long because Molly always has you wondering, what's going to happen next. The story is an intricate web that twists and turns. You wonder and you question, but you never really know for sure. I read this book in one sitting because, there was never a time I wanted to put Firefly down. I wanted to know everything and when I was done, I wanted more.

I feel like I made a connection between Blackbird and Firefly, but I can't be sure until the rest of the series comes out. Let me know if you see it after you read. 

If Firefly is not on your TBR, put it there. If you one clicked it already, drop everything and read it now. Molly, even though you crushed my soul with Chase Grayson, you are my "author" and I adore you.

Five brightly shining stars for Firefly.

IT'S REVIEW TIME!! LOST LOVE....BY KELLY ELLIOTT

Oh Kelly Elliot, I have loved you since Gunner Mathews called Ellie Johnson sweetheart before he even knew her. I read and loved that entire series and well basically everything you've written since then.

Of course Kelly posted she was coming out with the Cowboys & Angels series, I couldn't wait for it to come out. And I will share with you, Kelly Elliot does not disappoint in Lost Love.

As much I try to deny it, I am truly I romantic at heart. So insta-love and second chances get me every time. And Lost Love is just that, a story of young love that was lost and the long road home to find that love again.

Let me give you a quick session on the Parker family. They are an extremely wealthy Texas family. There are five brothers and two sisters. Each brother better looking than the other and sisters that are drop dead gorgeous.

Lost Love is Steed Parker's story. He is beautiful with a body that made me drool from description alone. All I wanted to do was run my hands over his abs. Basically Steed Parker makes women stop and stare. Steed rivals Gunner Mathews in the romance department, but for me, it will always be Gunner. Obviously he's an incredible catch, but he's coming home on a mission and that mission is to win back the love of his life.

Paxton Monroe is that love. They were together all through high school. They were the "it" couple. But an unexpected event during their senior year tore them apart. Back then, when Steed tried to make it right, Paxton pushed him away. Steed believed she really wanted him gone. So he left.

For ten years Steed stayed away. He'd sneak back home from time to time to see his family, but it wasn't the same. Now he's back for good and he with his adorable daughter Chloe. He's back in Texas to give Chloe a home surrounded by people who love her. He's also back to make amends with Paxton. If she'll let him.

After a disaster of a first meeting, Steed really amps up the charm. He's so sweet and romantic that you hope he'll quickly knock down Paxton's walls and she'll let him back in. But, Pax is hurt, and she's not about to let the man who broke back into her heart.

The only problem with resisting is the chemistry between Steed and Paxton is blazing hot. As much as she hates him and believe me in the beginning she does hate him, she can't deny her physical attraction to him.

There are a lot of tears when Steed and Pax talk about the past ten years. Steed wants to go right back to where they left off and Paxton isn't ready for that.

I love how close the Parker family is in Lost Love. You can feel their love for each other and know they's do just about anything to help each other. I love how everyone takes in hand in helping with Chloe. And I adore how sweet Steed is with Chloe. She hasn't had a very good first five years and Steed will do anything to make her happy.

Kelly Elliott can just write a really good story. I love her descriptive language, I love her story lines, and I love the way she puts things in place so you have a hint of what's coming up next in the series.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the Parker boys and girls stories. I have a feeling Waylynn's might be a heart breaker.

And yes Kelly Elliott as I read Lost Love I felt like I died and went to cowboy heaven. Keep them coming because cowboys are my new thing.

Four shooting stars for Kelly Elliott and Lost Love.

REVIEW TIME!! ENCHANTER: GIVER OF LIFE TRILOGY #1...BY KRISTY CENTENO

For the longest time all of my reading devices were primarily anything and everything to do with the paranormal. Angels, demons, shape shifters, you name it and I was reading it. Then I went on sort of a sabbatical from the paranormal. I hadn't really thought much about it until I read the blurb for Enchanter. The second I saw it I knew I had to read it, and I'm so glad I did because it's a terrific story with a swoon worthy book boyfriend. 

I will tell you straight out, Brandon Morris isn't my usual book boyfriend. He's got long black hair that goes past his shoulders, intensely blue eyes and from the sound of him, I think the word "emo" may have come to mind. But Brandon Morris is so much more than that. He's the strong silent type and he's definitely the brooding kind. He's also smart, loyal and has a muscular, inked up body that had me thinking very naughty thoughts. Seriously, scenes of Brandon just kissing Leah made me weak in the knees.

I'll come back to Brandon later, because I need to introduce another important character, Leah Parker. Leah is a girl that has had a very sad and traumatic past. She suffered a tragic loss on her eighth birthday that pretty much set the path for the rest of her life. For some reason her mother hates her and she can't understand why.

Odd things have always to Leah, but her story really starts on her twenty first birthday when things start to get even stranger. She hears voices calling out for her help and she starts to meet unusual "people" all on a day that should be a happy one.

To make her birthday even more unpleasant, she finds out her professor has paired her up with Brandon Morris (swoon) to work on a class project that's worth a huge chunk of her grade. Now, I'm swooning because I read the book. Leah and her friends are not swooning over Brandon. As hot as he is, Brandon is not a very desirable partner. 

What makes matters worse is Leah and Brandon have a past. They were neighbors and friends as children. As they grew older, classmates started bullying Brandon because he was different. Leah is not one of his bullies, nor did she defend him. Needless to say, Brandon isn't thrilled about being Leah's partner either. They try to get out of it, but they can't.

As they meet to work on their project, the two get passed their anger and Leah gets passed the guilt she feels over not being kinder to Brandon when they were younger. During this time their attraction to each other grows and even though they try to fight it.....they kiss. I know, I know...just a kiss? It was a kiss that turned me into a puddle and wanting more.

Just so you know their project is not the only thing that brings them together. They discuss their pasts and Brandon finds out about all the crazy that's going on in Leah's life now. Of course being Brandon, he wants to find a way to help her.

And then the paranormal truly kicks in and I loved it. I couldn't really figure out the voices and what exactly Leah was and Kristy Centeno puts it all together in the end. Not before she broke my heart with something I hope, hope, hope can be changed. I was so obsessed with Brandon I wrote a whole new ending in my head and now I will hope for the best.

If you haven't guessed by now Enchanter, ends in a cliffhanger. There are so many questions to be answered and I can't imagine how this will all come together. The series will be a trilogy and I CAN'T WAIT for the next book to be published!!

Four supernatural stars for Enchanter. And please hurry! I need more!

EMILY AND LA REVIEW SUGAR AND GOLD...BY EMMA SCOTT

Sometimes Emily and I come across a book that's so good, we feel like our review just can't do it justice. 

These are books that actually touch our souls and we just can't say enough good things about. Sugar and Gold is one of those books. I had it on my TBR and when Emily sent me her review, I knew I had to move it up and read it ASAP. I am so glad I did because Sugar and Gold is one of the most beautiful stories I have ever had the opportunity to read.

Emma Scott has truly blown my mind once again.   She has filled my heart, my mind and my soul with a happiness that is so pure I am literally crying. She has filled me with love and beauty and all that is good in this world. I really don't know how she does it every damn time.  

Nik is absolutely the most beautiful and gentle and loving and good man. He has endured the worst of humanity and asks for nothing in return. He's never known love in it's purest unconditional form and yet, he's so giving, so kind so beautiful inside, I'm just in love. 

Fiona, has also had to suffer so deeply, so insidiously, so heartlessly yet she still glows, she's still kind and gentle and decent... She's still pink. 

I swear I can close my eyes and see the colors, I can feel the ken, I can see all that is golden. I close my eyes and I can see the beauty and the truth in Nikolai's paintings. I can fell his heartbreak, I can feel his love for Fiona deep down in my bones, in my heart.  

There is no better feeling than reading a book and becoming a part of it's world. Thanks to Emma Scott's beautifully descriptive words and pages I was there. I was in this story. I was a part of it. 

I am crying because I feel happy, because I feel content, because I feel the beauty of these two humans and their love.  

I feel the gold Emma! I'm starting to think that that is your special "gift"   That you're truth in life is to make readers feel good by reading your words. You make my life better every time I read one of your stories, so I thank you wholeheartedly, for giving me your gift!! Please, please, keep writing and sharing your gift with us!!  I am truly grateful!!

Oh and Emma, thank you for letting us visit with my first true love of yours, my Evan!!

Em asked me to add on to this review, but she said everything so beautifully, I'm not sure I can say any more to convince you to one click Emma's book immediately.

Emma Scott's language and imagery are absolutely stunning. She takes two broken characters and though they have never known love, they heal each other with unconditional love. 

Nik is a beautiful man inside and out and Fiona is this almost ethereal being that exudes goodness.

Sugar and Gold is a book I read in one sitting, but a book I will go back to read again and again.

Thank you Emma Scott for writing such a captivating story and Thank you Emily Cas for making sure I read it. 

5 golden lip smacks from me!!! (And me!)

REVIEW TIME!!! PREPPY PART THREE: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF SAMUEL CLEARWATER...BY T.M. FRAZIER

Have you ever read a series, or watched a TV series and before you got to the last book or season you just couldn't be bothered with finishing? The King series is definitely not one of those series. If Tracey Frazier kept writing it, I would read anything King related. It is such an amazing series, that once schools out, I'll be doing a reread. I own the entire series in paperback and e-book. It is the only series I own that I will NEVER lend to anyone.

Each time a new book came out, I would drop whatever I was reading and start T.M.'s book. Never once have I been disappointed by anything she's written. And let me tell you, I am still a King girl and I wish I was Doe. But Preppy? Who knew behind all that sarcasm and the bad ass swagger, not to mention his unusual sexual fetish, Preppy would be so damn delicious?

Before I even start talking about Preppy Part Three, I have share, you will be much happier if you read the entire series before you start Preppy's books. If you don't you might get an idea of the story, but it will just bring you farther into the world of Logan's Beach.

But back to Preppy Part Two. At the end of the story while I was busy preparing for my HEA for Dre, Preppy and their newly adopted son Bo (who I absolutely adore). Sadly that HEA didn't come as we watch Dre gets drugged and thrown into the truck of some random stranger's car.

This is just the spot where book three starts. Who's trying to take Dre? Why is someone trying to take her? How are they going to get her back? 

Is it weird that I thought is was ridiculously sexy when King, Preppy and Bear take off after Dre's kidnappers? They are such alpha bad asses, they got me all sorts of excited.Basically, the story revolves around the kidnapping and who did it and believe me Preppy has no problem taking out anyone that gets in his way.

I've always been super in love with King. I thought Preppy was the less cute, funny, completely twisted friend. I had no idea I would get such feels for Preppy. He was super sexy and over the top in love with Dre. And let's not forget that very special body part that makes everything feel so good. Which leads me to Preppy and Dre together. So hot I needed a cold shower. Every time they were together, anyplace they were together, they were sexy as sin and blazing hot. Who knew crazy Preppy would be so very good in the bedroom?

Preppy Part Three is a roller coaster ride of twists and turns. A plot twist I never saw coming and a scene between King and Preppy that actually turned me into a puddle of melted goo. 

Honestly? I wish the series would never end. I could read about these characters forever. More than anything, I just want to get into Tracey Frazier's mind and see what exactly goes on there. How did this woman create these effed up characters? And how did she make me fall in love with people that in real life I would absolutely frown upon? All I know is she did, and I can't say enough good things about the entire series.

I can't imagine any not having read this series, but if you haven't start one clicking now,  and get ready for the awesomeness that is T.M. Frazier. And sorry you can't borrow mine!

Oh and two more random thoughts...

Because pancakes
and
Bowtie till I die

Five fantastic stars for Preppy Part Three  and the rest of this series that I love so hard!

REVIEW TIME!!! FIGHTING FOR LOVE: A BOSTON LOVE NOVEL...BY KELLY ELLIOTT

As I sat down to write this review, I went through some of my past reviews for Kelly Elliot. She has written so many of my favorite book boyfriends its crazy. And I don't mean the kind of book boyfriends that you swear you'll love forever and then forget when the next boy comes along. I mean book boyfriends that I think about long after I've finished reading the book. Example number one Gunner Mathews. From the day I read that book, Gunner has had a tight hold on my heart. Then I met Lark Williams and swooooooooon.

But no one has come close to Gunner's perfection, until the Ward brothers came onto the scene. You met Preston in Searching For Harmony and now in Fighting For Love you meet his older brother Finn.

Oh my glitter! Finn Ward is actual physical perfection. Like his brother Preston, Finn is a firefighter, so we know his body is on point. He's broad chested and covered with lean, hard muscles. His eyes are green and his hair is dark and tousled. There is not a more perfect specimen in this girl's opinion.
He is super gorgeous and the women love him. And let's just say Finn takes full advantage of his gorgeousness. That is until he sees the stunning Rory Adams and every other girl seems to fade away.

I am all about instalove and that's what happens in Fighting For Love. Rory works for a law firm that represents the firemen's union. Her first meeting at the fire station, Rory and Finn lock eyes and from that moment on, they can't stop thinking about each other. Finn starts asking around about Rory, only to find out, the girl that he can't get out of his mind is the daughter of his boss Captain Adams. Oh, and just to make it more interesting, for an adorable reason from his past, Cap doesn't really like Finn.

Rory Adams is a definite workaholic. She's very driven and wants nothing more than to please her mom and dad. The law firm she works at, is where her mother is a partner, so she always feels like she has to prove herself. People in the firm are always waiting to see her fail, so she always feels like she has to be perfect. Add to that her dad has specifically told her she cannot date any firemen and crushing on Finn Ward is not a good idea. And dating him on the sneak can't possibly end well.

After a few chance encounters, misunderstandings and rejections, Rory decides to give Finn a chance and go out to dinner with him. Their connection is incredibly strong and unbelievably hot. Burning hot like I need to fan myself because I'm going to spontaneously combust hot.

I thought Finn's brother Preston was perfect?  Sweet Lord, Finn made all of my parts tingle. The intensity of their attraction was apparent to everyone. They literally couldn't keep their hands off of each other. When they finally give in to their desires, together they are flaming hot.

Finn's friends tell him he's playing with fire (literally). If he gets caught, he can get transferred, or worse, Captain could fire him. It doesn't matter to Finn because he's falling hard for Rory. Rory hates keeping a secret from her parents, but she's falling equally hard for Finn. They know it's going fast, but it feels right and they're not letting go.

I love Kelly Elliot's writing style. It's so natural and flows into a beautiful story each and every time. She has the ability to make you fall in love with people from the pages of her books. If you haven't tried her Boston Love series yet, give it a one click. It's as sweet and charming as the Wanted series everyone knows and loves.

Four sweet and charming stars for Finn Ward and Fighting For Love.

LA REVIEWS ENDS HERE...BY M. ROBINSON

I've been a fan of Monica Robinson since I one clicked Complicate Me in December 2015.

With every book I've read since, Monica manages to pull me in deeper and become more invested in her stories and characters. Ends Here is no different. I was pulled so far into this story I could feel the pain and angst in the characters. I cried with Mia. My heart broke wide open for Noah and Creed. I was on a roller coaster of emotion and it didn't stop even after I finished reading.

Because after I finished reading it, I just kept trying to wrap my mind around everything that happened. So many secrets. So many lies. And in the end, a truth that just blew me away.

Of course Ends Here picks up where Road To Nowhere left off. If you haven't read Road To Nowhere yet, stop reading this, go one-click it, and come back after you're done.

After a shoot out at the Jameson home, Mia is missing from the spot Creed left her in to keep her safe. Without revealing too much, Mia is pregnant with Creed's brother Noah's baby and is now missing. The story revolves around keeping Mia safe, from what no one really knows and of course the two Jameson brothers who are completely in love with Mia Ryder.

I won't lie, I started out as Team Creed, but somewhere along the line my alliance switched to Noah. Quite possibly because I am insanely attracted to Steven James. But anyway, these two brothers love with everything they have. They both adore Mia and are ready to give their lives to keep her safe. 

Speaking of the sexy Jameson brothers, those scenes had me literally squirming in my seat. Creed and Noah both know how to please a woman and those boys are like the energizer bunny. They keep going and going. Two hot inked up alpha-male brothers trying to earn one girls heart. Hold on, because it's going to get messy.

Then M throws Martinez and El Santo into the mix and you are in testosterone overload of the best kind. You will never believe who El Santo really is and the truth of the CDs Martinez left for Creed you blow you away. Truths will be told, secrets will be revealed and I promise each one is more jaw dropping than the other.

Of course the good ol' boys are involved in Ends here . There is definite alpha overload and I loved every bit of it. They are so sexy and badass, I could read their stories forever. 

How could I forget Mia? She is a perfect combination of Alex and Lucas. She's a feisty little thing and doesn't take crap from anyone. That sassy mouth of hers is always getting her into trouble. Sometimes it's trouble of the naughtiest, sexiest kind (swoon).

Monica's writing style and the detail she puts into her books take you right in to the story. She can write pain and angst like nobody's business and damn can that girl do sexy too. I guarantee you will be completely invested in her characters. Possibly almost to the point of obsession like yours truly.

Ends Here is a story of loss and redemption. But mostly it is an epic love story that will stay with you long after you've finished reading. I know this because I finished it the day it came out and I'm just getting over my book hangover now.

Five sizzling Jameson brother stars for M. Robinson and Ends Here.

OMG! I almost forgot, M's famous the story is over for Mia and _____.  But it's just beginning for......will absolutely blow you out of the water!!!

LA REVIEWS AN ACT OF COURAGE...BY KC LYNN

"Five years ago I didn't think it was fair to ask you to wait for me. Well, I'm going to be selfish and ask you to do just that. I'm praying I didn't fuck things up beyond repair. Because I'm coming back for you, and once I do, I'm never letting you go. I need you because you're my anchor. My light. My salvation in the night. My angel. My peace. The best part of me. I love you. Please, wait for me."

I haven't started a review with a quote in a long time. Not because I haven't seen any, but because none have any touched me in quite the way this one has. As I typed in my classroom after school, I kept tearing up. There are books you read that are good. There are books that you love. And sometimes there are books that consume you. An Act Of Courage will forever be one of those books for me. It is a book that I couldn't put down. It is a book that touched my heart in a way very few books do.

You may be aware that I at times read books and series out of order. Example, I started this series before I read the Men of Honor series. Several of my book friends told me I was crazy and I needed to read Jaxson, Sawyer and Cade's story. So, to be ready for An Act Of Courage, I made sure I read the series. And yes, I fell absolutely in love with all three of those men. But Cade's is the story who touched me the most.

In Cade and Faith's story is where we first meet Christopher and his little sister Ruthie. Their lives have not been easy and Faith is the best thing to happen to them. We also know that this is when Christopher and Alissa first begin their relationship.

From the very start of An Act Of Courage you can see how much Christopher and Alissa love each other. Their plan was for the two of them to go to college together. Unfortunately, Alissa's disgustingly pretentious mother throws a wrench into their plans. Alissa goes off to college and Christopher becomes a Navy Seal.

When Christopher comes back home after being a Navy Seal for five years he's different. He's lost and there's a look in his eyes that tell you he's seen some terrible things. Sadly, he doesn't share his pain with anyone. Not Faith, not Ruthie and not Cade.

Before he goes down a completely self destructive path, Faith intervenes and sets Christopher up with a class at her music school. When the students name him Mr. Grouchy, you kind of know he's got a lot to work on.

The reunion of Christopher and Alissa is definitely not what you'd expect or hope for. That being said, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that their love has never died and they are two people who should be together.

Christopher Walker is a book boyfriend that will always stay in my heart. I loved him from Resisting Temptation when he didn't believe in himself and only Faith, Ruthie and Alissa saw how special he was. I was proud of the young man he became. His love, his loyalty, his honor, everything he did was done with passion.

I adore Alissa. She always believed in Christopher and loved him with her whole heart. She was ready to forgive him for anything and promised to love him no matter what.

I was so emotional while I read this book. I had that squeezing feeling in my chest the whole time. KC Lynn writes so beautifully. Her stories are unique, her characters come to life through her words. Let's not forget how very sexy those Men of Honor are.

KC,  An Act Of Courage is a book that has forever touched my heart. A huge five honorable stars for Christopher, Alissa and the Men of Honor.
