RICH PRICK

by Tijan

Book Synopsis

He walked into school on his first day and owned it.
I guess that’s what happens when you’re a prick, rich, and you’re best friends with the ruling school’s king.
Also didn’t hurt he’s drop dead gorgeous.
That’s all fine.
I mean, I have nothing to do with them.
I’m a loner, invisible, and that’s how I wanted it to be.
I was even proud of it, until I wasn’t.
Until I saw a girl kneel before him.
Until I couldn’t look away.
Until he caught me watching.
His name is Blaise Devroe. My name is Aspen Monson.
He only knew how to get, command, and demand attention.
I knew how to do everything but that.
And this is our story. ​

My Review

Affluent.  One word that would best describe both Blaise and Aspen’s life, but having everything at your fingertips means nothing when you are broken inside.

These two characters were both a nightmare and a dream to read.  I loathed their family dynamics, but in seeing the layers of the onion of their past peeled back by and for one another; I became that much more in love with these two dynamic characters!
​
Somehow, in this incredible story of pain and layers of struggles, the mighty Tijan manages to make us cheer for the brooding jerk and the wallflower as they begin to save one another.

This story was so poignant and rich with emotions; it had me at every single storyline twist and turn.  Most importantly, this story proves that the power of true love can rescue us from our past and save us from ourselves!
 
As Always, Happy Reading!

DEMISE OF A SELF-CENTERED PLAYBOY

by Piper Rayne

Book Synopsis

You might be wondering how you’ll know when your playboy ways are coming to an end. For some it might be an unexpected pregnancy (ahem… you know who), for others it might be finally landing the one woman you’ve always wanted (cough… I won’t mention any names). For me, it was the death of my mentor and the subsequent reading of their will.

The signs were there, they always are. But I didn’t notice them until it was too late, and my demise was complete.

Demise Sign #1 – You find yourself thrust into the land of responsibility and you don’t immediately hightail it out of town.

Demise Sign #2 – Despite being stuck with the world’s biggest Jekyll & Hyde, some sadistic part of you actually enjoys spending time with her.

Demise Sign #3 – Your family suddenly stops wanting to weigh in on every decision in your life.

Demise Sign #4 – Somehow you end up being the voice of reason in your tumultuous partnership.

Demise Sign #5 – You start thinking of other people before yourself.

Demise Sign #6 – You agree to put yourself in the middle of an Alaskan reality TV show that has both of you sleeping in the same tent.

Demise Complete.

My Review

Denver Bailey may have once described himself as a Self-Centered Playboy but this man stole my heart and gave me all the feels along the way!
 
Denver proved to be surprisingly deep while his emotional story unfolded.  This was a welcome contrast to what we've seen in other books in the Bailey series.
 
An emotional journey between two souls wounded by the past but brought together in the most unlikely of ways was not only good for the heart but it made me believe in the healing power of unconditional love.
 
This story was a pure delight.  Full of Bailey sibling love and downright hilarious moments, this is one book you won't want to miss!
 
As Always, Happy Reading!

FALLING FOR MY BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND

by Piper Rayne

Book Synopsis

Let’s say you’re an independent, self-sufficient woman who runs the family company and you find yourself falling for your little brother’s best friend. Now, more than ever, you need to count all the reasons why you need to abandon falling.

Abandon Falling #1 – He’s a womanizer. Hasn’t had a serious relationship a day in his life and changes women more often than he changes his sheets.

Abandon Falling #2 – He’s never serious. He cracks one-liners, mostly at your expense.

Abandon Falling #3 – When things go wrong, he seems unfazed and always remains in control. It’s so annoying.

Abandon Falling #4 – He has tattoos. Lots of them. Everywhere. Not to mention, he owns a tattoo parlor. (Damn it! Why doesn’t that sound like a bad thing anymore?)

Abandon Falling #5 – There’s a growing list of how different you two are. You can’t get along for fifteen minutes—a lifetime together would land one of you in prison.

Keep repeating those reasons and drown yourself in work. Pretend you don’t notice his good qualities or how enticing he looks without a shirt, and do not, I repeat, do not agree to live with the man while your place is being repaired from flood damage.

Trust me, even the strongest of us can only forego temptation for so long.

My Review

I've died and gone to heaven.  Just when I thought Piper and Rayne couldn't write another more delicious male lead I was wrong! Liam Kelly was well worth the wait!

Lake Star Light oh how we have missed you. The story that the fans of the Bailey family have been waiting for is finally here and so much better than anyone could have dreamed.

Liam and Savannah’s story was what readers of romance live for. It had all the angst, all of the swoon-worthy goodness, and the heat that might make you fear for the safety of your e-reader.

This has quickly become my favorite Bailey sibling story and once you read it I am sure you will understand why.  So what are you waiting for?  Grab your copy so you can enjoy this quirky little piece of Alaska with me!

As Always, Happy Reading!

DIRTY FLIRTY ENEMY

by Piper Rayne

Book Synopsis

He’s the arrogant Manhattan realtor with billboards advertising his six-pack more than his expertise in negotiations.

I’m the competing broker who stupidly moved across the hall from his office.

From day one, I’ve been his sworn enemy. Okay, so I might have accidentally stolen one of his clients. Well, is it stealing if the client comes to me?

Even our vicious banter and loathing gazes can’t hide the chemistry between us. Who can blame me? He has enough charisma to make every hot-blooded woman in the city melt with a single word.

Just when I think a mutual respect could be born between us, the biggest developer in the city offers us an opportunity that pits us against each other.

Time to forget Carmelo Mancini’s dreamy eyes and tight abs.

Game on.

My Review

The writing duo that is Piper and Rayne has delivered yet another home-run with Dirty Flirty Enemy.  Their fun loving, quick witted banter between strong characters will keep you laughing out loud throughout the entirety of this book.

When it comes to charming, Carmelo Mancini is your man.  But soon, this charismatic smooth talker finds out that all the charm in the world won’t save him from his fiery encounters with his sworn enemy and rival, Bella Scott.

Bella is a force to be reckoned with.  She is a female character that I loved more and more as I uncovered what made her tick.  Carm soon became a book boyfriend that stole away my heart and I am sure he will do the same for yours. 

This novel is so much more than a rom-com!  It will pull on your heartstrings, keep you guessing, and make you gush!  For a great summer read with an escape to the Hampton’s that we can’t all afford, I urge you to pick this one up today!

As Always, Happy Reading!

DIARY OF A BAD BOY

by Meghan Quinn

Book Synopsis

Dear Diary,

I might have gotten myself into a wee bit of trouble—and I'm not talking about the "court mandated community service," or “therapy sessions from bashing a bloke in the head" kind of trouble.

I wish it were that simple.

Nope. I’m talking about the "falling in love with one of my client's daughters,” kind of trouble . . . The kind of problem I can’t talk my way out of when the truth gets out.

How I ended up with her phone is a long story—and when she called to get it back, I took things a bit too far. One innocent exchange wound up leading to so much more.

Fun, new, and totally immune to my charm, Sutton is different. And I had no idea she was the daughter of Foster Green.

Blame it on the dark colored stout running through my veins, pushing me toward one bad decision after another. Pushing me toward her even though I know right from wrong; even though she's my client's daughter.

Dating her might be the best or worst decision I've ever made. Only time, whiskey, and one more roll around the mattress with her will tell.

Roark

My Review

Unabashed humor, laugh out loud moments, and full of heart, Meghan has written another great book with a new leading man that I fell for immediately!

Let’s be honest here, who doesn't love a damaged man... Come on, we can admit it... So, as Roark, this strong, bruting man, starts to let his vulnerabilities show in secret, while spilling his guts out into his diary for the betterment of himself, the reader is only bound to fall even more head over heels for the bad boy that deep down wants to be good.

With hilarity and heart at its finest I could not get enough of this story between this Irish bad boy and the amazing Southerner, Sutton Grace.  I could go on and on about my love of this book but I think it best for you to read and enjoy for yourself!

As Always, Happy Reading!
