Fierce (Clarissa Wild): Hot, brooding college bad-boy Hunter turns out to have more secrets up his sleeve than geeky book-worm Autumn can handle. Too bad for her he doesn't give up the fight easily.
That First Kiss (J.C. Valentine): Playboy and rising author Tate Larson is focused on his work with no plans of settling down anytime soon... that is, until a chance encounter with Southern beauty Piper Donovan derails all his plans

Can't Shake You (Molly McLain): Carissa's gotten herself into a mess with an impromptu renovation project, and the only contractor available to help her out happens to be the one man she's never been able to forget. Josh is also her ex-boyfriend's best friend, therefore completely off-limits...unless they don't get caught.

That First Kiss by J.C. Valentine

His finger stroked the inside of her thigh, seeking higher ground as his thoughts rolled forward. Piper’s eyes trained on his face, hanging on his every word. “I didn’t intend for things to get as heated as they did, but as soon as I touched you, I needed more. I couldn’t help myself. You possessed me.”

The glazed look in her eye told him that she was remembering that night as vividly as he was. Placing both hands on the cushions on either side of her body, he hemmed her in, bringing their faces so close that when he spoke, his lips grazed hers. “The way you danced that night, pushing that sweet little ass of yours against me. It’s haunted me, Piper,” he whispered. “You need to understand, I tried to resist you, just like I have been trying to resist you, but you drive me crazy. When I’m with you, it takes everything in me to stay away. All I think about, all I dream about is burying myself inside you.”

Piper licked her lips and Tate zeroed in on the tiny movement. “I want to suck those plump lips into my mouth,” he murmured. Shifting, he brought his knee up so it rested on the couch alongside hers and hovered over her. Her face was flushed and her chest rose and fell heavily. She wasn’t unaffected.

“You need to leave,” she said weakly.

Tate chose that moment to drop his head into the crook of her neck, nuzzling her. She smelled faintly of roses, and his cock jumped at her soft, feminine scent. “Do you want me to leave?” he asked softly.

He could feel her softening beneath him, her breath coming out in shudders as he skimmed his lips lightly up her neck to her ear, where he licked the pulse beating rapidly beneath her sensitive skin. “Yes.”

The single word left her on a stilted breath, only solidifying his need to get inside her. “I don’t think you do,” he murmured. With sure hands, Tate grabbed the backs of her thighs and yanked her toward him, seating her firmly beneath him on her back with her legs spread wide.

His Wicked Games by Ember Casey

4.5 Stars

This is one I probably would have never found had I not received this set, which would have truly been a tragedy as it was a great read! Who doesn't love a hot billionaire bad boy?

Lily Frazer will do anything necessary to save Frazer Center for Arts. Including breaking into the estate of Calder Cunningham and express her grievances of him pulling funding from the center. What Lily doesn't expect is that it will turn into days of wickedly pleasurable games with a man that she thought she hated but finds her body likes him very much!

Calder Cunningham is a notoriously rich bad boy. When he cuts funding to The Arts center he ignores Lily's pleas for a meeting and in doing so catches her breaking into his estate. So begins the game of cat and mouse.

The relationship development between Calder and Lily is amazing! The games they play are awesome. There is intrigue and wonderment throughout. The game is on and the winner takes all.

Can Lily win the funding back for the Frazer Center?

I will definitely be reading further on in this series, it is wonderful!

Fierce by Clarissa Wild

4Stars

This book was a fast, easy read. It had me chuckling in places and just think really? Same things were just unbelievable.

Autumn is excited to be starting college. She finally gets to be with Brody, her best friend from home that is three years older. She also has her best friend Evie with her. She is hoping to not be the laughing stock here like in high school. She can't believe she caught the eye of the hottest guy on campus Hunter Bane! He is hot and every time he approaches her she looks like an idiot. She loses her breath and can't talk. Will she be scared away? Or will she throw all her inhibitions out the window?

Hunter Bane is only surviving for one reason and one reason alone. He doesn't need the distraction of any girl. He has to keep his focus on his goal. Though he has a hard time keeping away from the shy, beautiful, innocent Autumn or Leafy as he likes to call her. Will he complete what he needs to? Or does Autumn get in the way?

This book is definitely worth the read. I just needed a little more and for some areas to be a little more believable!!

Can't Shake You by Molly McLain

4.5 Stars

Another installment in this great set of books! Yet another I would have never found without this set.

Carissa Brandt has one night of great passion with Josh Hudson then he is shipped off to Afghanistan. It was one night that she has been unable to put out of her mind. Three years and a relationship with his best friend have not put out the fire he started. The sexual tension between them can be cut with a knife.

Josh Hudson is a fine piece of Marine. Running his own construction company and fighting what he feels for Carissa because it breaks the guy code. Now Carissa needs his help renovating a house and working with her day after day is giving him a series case of blue balls! Plus someone is out to destroy his company and reputation.

Friends with benefits seems to be the way to go. Surely the tension between these two will burn itself out. They just have to sex their way out of it!

Great read. There is suspense, drama and lots of hotness!

Sorority Pledge 1-6 by Daizie Draper

4 Stars

This one took me out of my comfort box and opened my mind. Though I personally would never do what Addison does I found myself trying to see through her eyes as to what the attraction would be to her particular lifestyle. Though I would never partake in this way of life reading it still left me somewhat hot and bothered. So job well done!

Addison Montgomery has an itch that she just can not seem to scratch. Vanilla men are just not doing it for her. Accepting that she may be a little on the freaky side just is not an option. Until she crosses paths with Logan Thorndike and recieves a spanking that she will never forget and it opens up a whole world of kink!

Logan Thorndike has a penchant for domination. He is just unsure if it is a world he want to dive into. One girl brings his dom tendencies to the surface. Spanking Addison thrills him in ways he just can not describe.

This is an enjoyable ride into the world of Dom and sub. It was very interesting to see Addison and Logan travel down this path. This is a great series of quick, hot reads.
