~ Our Review ~
4.5 Star review by Heather and Annie

Beautiful Misery is the much anticipated follow up to Beautiful Goodbye. Finally we get more of Gage’s yummy pantie wetting goodness! I wanted to know all about Gage and if he finally gets his HEA.  Beautiful Misery will have you crying in the ugliest way possible, pissed off to the max and so happy you will be contemplating doing flips! 

Annie is a struggling single mother of a beautiful boy, Gabe.  She has no interest in starting any kind of relationship with a man.  She still hasn't gotten over her ex-boyfriend/baby daddy that tragically died suddenly.  She wants Gabe to have a permanent father figure and not just his Uncle Jase.  She tries to fight the feelings she gets when she meets the hot sexy football player, Gage Tucker.  He is persistent though and tries to break down her walls.  Can she except Gage? Will they every make it past friends?

Gage is heartbroken after Jenna left him for her baby’s daddy.  He tries to hide it by getting drunk every night and being a manwhore, but he realizes that isn't working. He knows that when Cobie suggest they give into their feelings he should walk away.  He couldn't though and is happy he didn't, because it gave him the most precious gift and his saving grace, his baby girl Londyn.  When Cobie heartbreakingly leaves Gage he becomes afraid of commitment and fears that all the women he loves will leave him.  So when he meets the beautiful Annie he is afraid of his attraction to her.  He doesn't want to let her in, but he can't seem to walk away from her either. Can he get her to be his friend with benefits? Or can he open up and fight for her to give him a chance


This is an emotional roller coaster ride.  The journey of all these characters is a struggle. I feel like I am living in the book as I read about them all. The secondary characters are just as important, because they will eventually have their own stories. I cannot wait for Trent and Leigha's story.  This is a must read series!!

~ Synopsis ~

She finally did it!
They both found what they were looking for.
But is it enough?
Not willing to accept her life as 'just nice' anymore, Kelly Dawson has had enough walks out on her boyfriend of seven years.  She is determined to find the fireworks and the big O her friends are always gushing about.  Her old boyfriend Gary, was the high school quarterback, the man every guy was jealous of and every girl wanted to be with.  He is handsome and sweet, but he has never caused Kelly's toes to curl or her heart rate to fly off the charts.  They have never even had sex with the lights on!  Being alone has to be better then living your entire life unsatisfied and craving more...Right?
Her plan for letting loose and living large hasn't gone as planned. That is until she meets him.  He makes her body sing in ways she never thought possible.  He also has a knack for turning her life upside down, challenging her, and driving her to say and do things she swore she never would.  Between the sheets he is everything she ever wanted and more, but in the light of day he makes her want to run and never look back.  Daemon Scott built himself a large empire by never showing weakness.  A deadly combination of good looks, money and power brings an abundance of willing women happy to accept the rich playboy as he is.  He has also never wanted or needed a relationship.  That is until he meets her.  Kelly Dawson is a saucy, beautiful, red haired vixen that he has been hired to decorate his new corporate office building.  Her defiant manner drives him crazy, causing him to lose control and break all his own rules.  The more she fights him off the more determined he is to claim her as his own.  And make no mistake; Daemon always gets what he wants. 
Mind blowing sex, multiple orgasms, and sizzling chemistry aside.  When their happy ever after is finally within reach, old lies and hidden secrets begin to bubble to the surface, threatening to tear them apart.


Book 1 of a two book series.

~ Our Review ~

4 Star Review by Heather

This book is a short fast read.  It was really good.  It leaves you wanting more. I feel that with how short it was this could have been a standalone and not a two part series.

Kelly is struggling with her boyfriend of seven years.  She loves him, but isn't happy.  She decides to break up with him so he can find a woman who appreciates him and she can find a man that can give her the big "O"!  When she meets Daemon Scott she is instantly attracted to him. The only problem is he's a client at the design firm she works for.  She doesn't want to lose her job. Can she keep pushing him away? Or will she succumb to his charm?

Daemon is the playboy billionaire.  He gets everything he wants and he never lacks for female companionship.  He wants Kelly from the moment he sets eyes in her.  He has his work cut out for him, but he thinks it is worth it. He has never felt this pull towards a woman before.  Can he turn away from his playboy ways?

This book is going to leave you crying for more.  I really wish that it would have been a longer book and ended with one book. That being said it is a really,  really good book and worth the read!

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Wicked Thing by Angelina Kace

~ Synopsis ~
 
Carmyn Rafferty witnessed the aftermath of her mother's affair. She learned at a young age not to trust anyone. Especially not your spouse. So she's planned. She's planned every detail of her life: who her husband will be, what their careers will be, what their lives will be like. All to avoid the pain of infidelity.

Dallas Brown lives a life all his own. He doesn't do relationships, he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him, and he doesn't live up to anyone's expectations but his own.

When Carmyn's fiancé cheats on her, it sends her into a whirlwind of one-night stands with the most infamous player on campus. She can't seem to stay away from this tough guy and his dangerous motorcycle. Everything about him is the complete opposite of who she'd planned to fall in love with: tattoos, dark stubble along his jawline, and hair that brushes his shoulders.

As Dallas and Carmyn begin to fall deeper and deeper into each other, they learn that love can truly be a wicked, wicked thing.
 
**Due to content, this book is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.**

5 Star review by Heather
 
I loved this book. It did not disappoint. It left me wanting more of all the characters.

Carmyn is happy in her planned relationship with Becker. They are engaged to be engaged. They plan on finishing college together, and then get engaged. She soon discovers that he is a lying cheating dirtbag. She always held back with her heart because of her childhood. She trusted Becker and he threw it out the window. So when her best friend Ava tells her to live a little and have a one night stand with the campus man whore, Dallas, she throws caution out the window and does. The one thing she didn't expect was for him too start having feelings for her. She tries to hide her feelings, because if they aren't in a relationship he can't break her heart. Can she open up to Dallas? Or will she push him back into his manwhoring ways?

Dallas doesn't do relationships. He fucks woman and never goes back for seconds. He lets them know the score up front to prevent the destruction woman cause. When he finds out Carmyn is no longer with loser boy, Becker, he tries to hook up with her. He is actually surprised that once isn't enough for him and he wants more. Can he work through his issues and be with just one woman? Can he break down her walls?

This book is full of heartache. Both Carmyn and Dallas have issues that need worked out. Can they work together and help each other or will they have to do it by themselves? 
This book is a must read and I cannot wait for Denton's book. I really hope he ends with Ava and if not that she gets her own book.

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Found In You (Fixed, #2) by Laurelin Paige

~ Synopsis ~


Alayna Withers has only had one kind of relationship: the obsessive, crazy stalker kind. Now that Hudson Pierce has let her into his heart, she’s determined to stay away from her past tendencies and develop their love into more than just amazing sex. At least Hudson is as dedicated to her as she is to him, though she could do without his new found jealousy and need to control everything. To complicate matters, Hudson has his own baggage including a penchant for mind games and a hateful alcoholic mother who’s set on destroying any happiness he might find with Alayna. 



Needing insight, Alayna turns to an unlikely source—Celia Werner. Celia’s been in love with Hudson herself and knows how to ride the rocky waves of the emotionally closed-off man. But when Celia’s true motivations behind their friendship are revealed, Hudson’s commitment might not be as solid as Alayna thinks, and even their all-consuming passion for each other isn’t enough to fix their mistrusts. This is the first relationship where Alayna hasn’t spiraled out of control. And she might lose Hudson anyway…

4 Star review by Heather
 
Wow.  I was really looking forward to this book, but I had a hard time getting into it.  It seemed slow in places.

Alayna is still trying to make sure she doesn't go back to her stalker ways. She knows she loves Hudson, but doesn't want to scare him away.   She also focuses on work and proving to everyone she can put her MBA to good use, even if it is working at a nightclub. She ends up getting promoted to Event and Promotions Manager at the night club she works for.  So, she sets out to make her dreams a reality.  She runs into some issues and is afraid to tell Hudson. She thinks she is protecting him.  Can Hudson and her have a really relationship with all the lies? Will they find happiness after everything is laid out in the open?

Hudson has finally decided he wants to be with Alayna for real.  No more faking it for his mother.  He wants her and he is willing to do anything to get her and keep her.  He still doesn't want to come clean to her about his past and all the terrible things he did.  He is afraid she won't be able to love him after she finds out.  Will he let he all the way in?

Hudson reminded me of Mr. Lord of the Manor Jesse Ward. So if you liked that series I believe you will love these books. This is part of a series. I am thinking trilogy since their will be a book three coming out soon. I really really enjoyed book one Fixed on You.  I would recommend that you read book one and then give Found in You a shot!

5 Star Review by Natalie
Elle is a lawyer at a small time firm, Milstock and Rowe where they have quite an eclectic group there. Her boyfriend William works for his father’s firm that is well established and caters to the elite advertising industry. Although Elle is very happy where she is, William is always trying to sway her to work for his firm. She has the perfect job, perfect man, perfect body and is very intelligent. She should be happy right?
 William has a client he would like Elle to speak with concerning a case he has with him. He brings his client, Nicolas “The Lady Killer” Hunter in the next morning and as usual Elle is running behind so her secretary and best friend, Regina, tells them she will be with them in a few minutes. She walks them to the conference room to wait for Elle. Elle walks in to welcome them and introduces herself. As she looks up to meet William’s client she has locked eyes with an amazingly handsome man. Feeling like he seems very familiar to her, and she can’t stop staring. With eyes locked they shook hands for a little too long asking her to call him Nico, so William starts to discuss why they are there. She finds out he is an MMA fighter, explains his predicament, and what needs to happen. Why can she not take her eyes off of him?
The following day she gets a visit by Nico and she asks if there is something wrong. Nico walks closer to her and tells her that he forgot to ask her to dinner. She is very unsure, but wants to so bad. She thinks heck, her and William aren’t going anywhere so why waste time. She has a past that no one knows about, except her best friend. Later that evening she figures out where she knows him from, the one and only cage fight she has ever been to. Her father was a police officer and on his off nights he worked security for the MMA events. Her father gave her some free tickets and she brought her little brother. At that fight Nico won in the second round with a TKO, but she saw that the opponent wasn’t getting up. She looked to Nico at that moment and Nico was devastated and you could tell right then that he was broken.
Nico picked her up that next evening and they had a great time but things happened and now she knew she had to make a decision. Elle thinks now this will be one more person she has to share her horrible past with and she just isn't ready yet.
 I loved this book and give it 5 stars!! The characters were so passionate and believable. I am so team Nico!! Once you find out their pasts it explains their relationship. This book has a lot of passion, sex, and angst. I loved it!! I don’t mind a little roller coaster :)
