ANY TIME, ANY PLACE by Jennifer Probst

Billionaire Builders, #2

BLURB:

HGTV’s Property Brothers meets The Marriage Bargain in this second volume in the Billionaire Builders series, an all-new heart-wrenching and sexy contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

When she was a teen, Raven Bella Stratton’s father was killed in a horrible car crash. The bigger shock was the discovery of a woman with him—Diana Pierce—and their two fully packed suitcases with airline tickets to Paris. Devastated by her father’s betrayal, Raven went to live with her aunt, never truly overcoming the traumatic event. When she discovers that the mysterious woman had a family with a husband and three boys, Raven vows to leave the memory of her father behind.

Until Dalton Pierce visits one night and suddenly her past challenges her future…

Leaving his life in California behind to run Pierce Construction with his two older brothers, Dalton Pierce has enjoyed returning home and studying his passion of woodworking. But when he visits the local bar with his brothers one evening, he’s immediately drawn to the smart-mouthed, badass, sexy bartender who sets his body on fire. Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem as intrigued by him, and his multiple advances are met with rejection. When he offers to restore the bar back to its original glory, he begins to work with her on a daily basis, and falls harder. His plan of seduction slowly weaves a web around them both, until they are caught up in the spell. But Dalton doesn’t know the secret that can either destroy them both…or finally mend two broken hearts.

 

My Review:

Any Time, Any Place is the newest release in author Jennifer Probst’s Billionaire Builders series; a series I simply adore. I was so excited for this latest installment and it was just as fabulous as I knew it would be.

One of the things I love and admire most about Ms. Probst’s writing is her ability to give her characters such depth and have them feel so real.  Each character has little quirks and traits that give them a wonderful dimension. Dalton and his love of wood and star-gazing.  Raven and her  passion for flavors and mixology.  When you’re reading her books, you feel like you’re actually there, watching heir lives unfold.  Raven and Dalton’s story was just another prime example of that talent.

I loved watching Raven and Dalton’s relationship evolve and grow.  In their own ways, they were both lost and in need of finding their happy ever afters.  Both trying to overcome the heartbreaking losses they had suffered.  Trying to understand it and accept it.  In a million years neither one of them would have expected to find solace in the arms of an enemy of sorts.  And yet, that’s exactly what happened.  The emotion surrounding their story is touching, heavy, and beautiful.  Add to that emotion some serious chemistry, Dalton’s charm, and Raven’s bad ass nature and this book is the total package.  Oh, and her signature movie worthy endings?  Yep, she’s written another stellar one!

Once again, Ms. Probst knocked it out of the park.  I loved this book and can’t wait to see what’s next in store for this group!

Good Boy by Sarina Bowen & Elle Kennedy….Review

GOOD BOY GR LINK

Hosting her brother’s wedding for an MVP guest list is the challenge of Jess Canning’s life. Already the family screw-up, she can’t afford to fail. And nobody (nobody!) can learn of the colossal mistake she made with the best man during a weak moment last spring. It was wrong, and there will not be a repeat. Absolutely not. Even if he is the sexiest thing on two legs.

Blake Riley sees the wedding as fate’s gift to him. Jess is the maid of honor and he’s the best man? Let the games begin. So what if he’s facing a little (fine, a lot) of resistance? He just needs to convince the stubborn blonde that he’s really a good boy with a bad rap. Luckily, every professional hockey player knows that you’ve got to make an effort if you want to score.

But Jess has more pressing issues to deal with than sexy-times with a giant man-child. Such as: Will the ceremony start on time, even though someone got grandma drunk? Does glitter ever belong at a wedding? And is it wrong to murder the best man?

Caution: May cause accidental aspiration of tea or coffee. Do not read in a public place where loud laughter is inappropriate. Contains hot but hilarious hockey players, puppy cuddling and a snarky pair of underwear

My Review:

Good Boy is the newest work from the writing team of Elle Kennedy and Sarina Bowen.   I knew from the cover and synopsis alone I was going to love this book and, oh boy, I was not disappointed!

From the very beginning, Blake stole my heart.  His fun witted, sexy banter with Jess was off the charts fun and I loved him.  He’s like a big kid in a way an it was beyond endearing to me.  He’s quirky and loyal and kind and sexy and I couldn’t get enough.  Jess was also a really lovable character with a great head on her shoulders and, even though it takes her some time to find her path in life, is one determined cookie.

Together the fun banter and sexual tension was off the charts hot and I ate it up with a spoon!  I knew Jess would be worn down by Blake’s signature brand of flirting (I mean I don’t think anyone could hold out on him!) and when she was, man it was smoking hot.

If you’re looking for a fun, sexy read, this is definitely a must read for you! Thank you Ms. Kennedy and Ms. Bowen for a fab read!

The Bachelor Auction by Rachel Van Dyken…Paperback Release

THE BACHELOR AUCTION by Rachel Van Dyken (January 31, 2017; Forever Mass Market Paperback; $7.99; The Bachelors of Arizona Book 1)

NOW IN PAPERBACK!

The first book in an all-new contemporary romance series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken.

Cinderella never had to deal with this crap.

Jane isn’t entirely sure that Cinderella got such a raw deal. Sure, she had a rough start, but didn’t she eventually land a prince and a happily-ever-after? Meanwhile, Jane is busy waiting on her demanding, entitled sisters, running her cleaning business, and . . . yep, not a prince in sight. Until a party and a broken shoe incident leave Jane wondering if princes—or at least, a certain deliciously hunky billionaire—maybe do exist.

Except Brock Wellington isn’t anyone’s dream guy. Hell, a prince would never agree to be auctioned off in marriage to the highest bidder. Or act like an arrogant jerk—even if it was just a façade. Now, as Brock is waiting for the auction chopping block, he figures it’s karmic retribution that he’s tempted by a sexy, sassy woman he can’t have. But while they can’t have a fairy-tale ending, maybe they can indulge in a little bit of fantasy . . .

Sometimes you just can’t resist playing with fire…

By day, Aaron Clarkson suits up, shakes hands, and acts the perfect gentleman. But at night, behind bedroom doors, the tie comes off and the real Aaron comes out to play. Mixing business with pleasure got him fired, so Aaron knows that if he wants to work for the country’s most powerful senator, he’ll have to keep his eye on the prize. That’s easier said than done when he meets the senator’s daughter, who’s wild, gorgeous, and 100 percent trouble.

Grace Pendleton is the black sheep of her conservative family. Yet while Aaron’s presence reminds her of a past she’d rather forget, something in his eyes keeps drawing her in. Maybe it’s the way his voice turns her molten. Or maybe it’s because deep down inside, the ultra-smooth, polished Aaron Clarkson might be more than even Grace can handle…

 

My Review:

Too Wild To Tame is the second book in author Tessa Bailey’s Romancing The Clarksons Series and having fallen in love with this group of dysfunctional siblings back in the first book, I am dying to get to each book and to see how things play out for each of them.

The thing is, with a Tessa Bailey book, the one thing you can always expect is the unexpected.  Whether it be the back story to a traumatic childhood incident, or a kind gesture from a relatively unkind person, there are unexpected moments in her books that make the reader fall in love with the story, the moments, the characters.  I have to admit, Aaron’s story worried me.  I wasn’t sure how I was going to grow to love a guy who hadn’t been the most likable up until now.  He was a bit pompous, rude at times, impatient, and just plain douchey.  Enter that unexpected thing I was talking about earlier and *WHAM* I was a goner.  Suddenly, bit by bit, he won me over.  When you read the story, you’ll know the exact moment my perception changed about him *dreamy sigh*.

On the flip side of things, I had an instant love for Grace and her fun and quirky personality.  But of course, I was also worried for her because I just knew her history was going to be a doozy and what made her the way she was today was going to be painful to rehash. Indeed, it was and it broke my heart for her.

Together these two are the last people you’d ever think would get together.  But again, that unexpected matchup made them so perfect for each other.  Both battling their inner demons, not knowing how to win the battle, but knowing deep down it can be done…it was truly something amazing to read and off the charts emotional.

Adding to the emotion to Aaron’s situation was his relationship with his siblings which is in need of some serious repair when the books begins.  Now, I won’t ruin anything for you but I will say by the end of this book I was totally drained in the best possible way.  I had cried, been angry, laughed, and ended blissfully satisfied….the way only a Tessa Bailey book can do!

Of course, now I am chomping at the bit for Peggy’s story and can’t wait to see where the road takes the remaining Clarkson siblings! Thank you, Tessa, for yet another amazing read!

Excerpt:

His progress toward the door halted when Grace shot to her feet, arms stiff at her sides, those green eyes like glowing jade moons. “I…that isn’t what I was asking for. I just meant, let me help you, in general. I—I didn’t think…”

Aaron’s neck heated. “If you don’t like the idea, we can change it—”

She jumped. She actually jumped straight up in the air, hands flying to her cheeks. “I love it. Oh, please don’t change anything. I was just so surprised.”

He inclined his head, mentally cursing the way his heart decided to make its presence known at such an inconvenient time, walloping his rib cage with thick booms, courtesy of Grace’s pleasure. How juvenile. “I’m kind of surprised myself,” he admitted, then wished he’d kept his mouth shut.

At least until Grace floated toward him. All shining eyes and rosy excitement, she spurred a lust storm in his stomach. “It’s so much better when you say what you’re thinking, Aaron.”

“You mentioned that.”

And of course, it made him want to say more. Say whatever it would take to get her legs wrapped around his hips. To rock between her thighs until her wetness drenched the fly of his pants. “Get away from me, Grace,” he rasped. “It would be just like me to take advantage of you after having to tell that story.”

Silence deepened around them. “How can you say that after you just found a way for me to rebuild the camp?” It seemed as if her entire body lifted and fell on a harsh sob. “Last night, you asked me if I still saw some good in you…and I didn’t answer. How could I not have answered you?” She shook her gorgeous head. “I didn’t mean to—”

Aaron shot forward, capturing her unspoken words with his own mouth. Guilt. There had been even more guilt in her eyes. Aaron’s response was pure denial. Not because of me. Not over me. But as soon as their lips joined, his mind wiped clean of anything but Grace’s one-of-a-kind taste. She was juicy, sweet, refreshing, intoxicating madness. He let it pull him down into its depths—her depths—gathering up her taste greedily so he could live with the effect as long as possible, even though surely a man couldn’t withstand this type of arousal for an extended length of time. He’d want to fuck her again as soon as he came. It was a certainty his body was all too eager to confirm. Yet protectiveness held him in a state of limbo. Wanting—needing—to mate with her delicious body while determined to protect her from himself.

Couldn’t she sense the past meaningless encounters he wore like gloves, cheapening everything he touched? Couldn’t she sense his inability to be meaningful to her? Grace should have someone with substance, not someone who couldn’t even garner the love of his own family. Someone who considered the ramifications of his actions and how they would serve as betrayal. This is how you repay me?

The voice from his not-so-distant past had Aaron tearing his mouth away with a guttural growl, clasping Grace by the shoulders. Too hard. Ease up. “Get away.”

“If you really want that, let me go,” she whispered.

God, he couldn’t do it. Not with her face tipped back, lips swollen and shined up, those eyelids halfway fallen. He’d never in his life had trouble resisting sex. It was always a logical decision based on his needs. This? There was nothing cut and dried about it. His attraction to Grace was messy and wild and untapped. Made his chest expand with the effort to contain the expanding of something unfamiliar. Crazy and blinding. His dick needed a good, rough handling from one woman only. Grace. And she wasn’t pushing him away. Seemed like she wanted the job, too, her tits sliding up and down his abs with every breath. Give her one more chance. Show her what she’s in for with a bastard like you. With a muttered epithet, Aaron raked his hand up the back of Grace’s thigh, sliding it down the back of her tights, and settling his middle finger in the valley of her ass. “Get away from me,” he managed, wedging his straying digit a little more securely, earning him a closed-lipped noise.

“No,” she gasped after a few seconds.

Aaron’s tether broke. Recapturing Grace’s mouth with an obscene amount of tongue, he backed them toward the bed, satisfaction rippling in his middle when she went down beneath him, her legs falling open in welcome. He draped his body over Grace’s slighter one, eager grunts leaving his mouth as he positioned himself over her pussy and bore down with his erection. Their groans were pain-filled, reaching every corner of the cabin, breaking off when Aaron got back to kissing that addictive mouth, yanking the oversized sweater up, up to her belly, so he could rock against her sex with only his pants and her tights as obstructions.

“Aaron.”

“You were warned,” he reminded her with a strangled shout, delivered into the space above her head. “Three times, Grace. That’s three times more than I’d give anyone else.” He slid up and back in the cradle of her legs, groaning over the rasping friction her tights delivered to his stiff, fuck-hungry dick. “Make it four times. I gave you an out back at the house. You should have taken it.”

When Grace should have been trembling or alarmed by the cut steel in his voice, she only stretched out beneath him like a cat, opening up for him. Almost preening beneath his rough ministrations. “Maybe I should have. But we’re here now, so stop trying to scare me.” Her fingertips moved down Aaron’s chest to the seat of his pants, where she smoothed her palm over the curve of his cock, which started him panting like a marathon runner. “You don’t really want to scare me, do you, Aaron?”

Christ, her soft words, the sight of her, were choking him up. Her hair was a haphazard display framing her face, those crooked front teeth somehow making him twice as eager to seal their mouths together again. He was a hunter who’d discovered a sprite dancing in the woods and dragged her home, intending to use her body for vigorous relief, but got forgiveness in return. “No, I don’t. I don’t want to scare you.”

“I know,” she breathed, unfastening his belt buckle. “I just know.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans, and laptop, and drove cross-country to New York City in under four days. Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend, and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband and daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.

Text 2 Lovers by K. Webster & J.D. Hollyfield…Review Tour

Text 2 Lovers

by K. Webster & J.D. Hollyfield
Publication Date: January 24, 2017
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romantic Comedy

It’s the start of nothing good.
I fired off a storm of raunchy text messages…to the wrong number.
And he replied.
Him: Show me a picture.
Him: Tell me your name.
Why does the lure of anonymity have me craving to indulge a stranger?

It’s the start of everything right.
I received a slew of text messages…when everything in my life was wrong.
And she made me laugh again.
Her: You’re probably a creeper.
Her: Possibly a stalker.
Why do I have the overwhelming need to find this stranger who saved me and make her mine?

Him: Take a chance with me.
Her: This is crazy.
Him: I need to see you.
Her: What are we doing?
Him: We’re about to find out.

Her: PHOTO ATTACHED
Him: PHOTO ATTACHED

 

So I am probably going to be in the minority with this book.  Text 2 Lovers was just ok for me for various reasons.

I was curious to read Text 2 Lovers after reading the blurb.  There was a book not long ago that I read where their relationship started off with a wrong text and I really liked their story.  So I had high hopes of really enjoying this book.  While I did enjoy parts of it, I was slightly let down. 

Text 2 Lovers is about Ram and Dani who become acquainted because of a text to a wrong number.  Love the concept but I didn’t like that the reason behind the wrong text was exactly the same as the other book I had read.  To me, personally, if felt like they had taken that author’s idea and copied it into their story.  I wish they would have made it like a wrong number due to misinterpreting numbers or something along those lines.  So right there, I was already tempted to stop.  But, I wanted to give this book a chance.

Everything is going great between Dani and Ram.  And that’s where it should have ended.  The way their story continues just didn’t sit well with me.  It felt like they needed a dramatic moment to add something to the book where I thought Dani and Ram’s story was perfect.   Yes, it would be a novella, but I felt it was cute story. 

The only redeeming part to this book for me is Roman and Andie.  These two had me in stitches when they had to interact with one another.  Andie is a spitfire and Roman it seems is up for the challenge she provides.  I am excited to read their story because I know it will be hilarious and full of fire.

If you’ve never read any books where the relationship starts off with a wrong text, then you will enjoy this book.  The writing is great and the authors do a great job of writing this characters.  However, if you’re like me and have read a book with this same idea, you may not enjoy it as much.

Gravity by Lauren Runrow…Review Tour



Please join us in celebrating the release of GRAVITY by Lauren Runow! 

Title: GRAVITY by Lauren Runow
Age Group: Adult
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 24, 2017

Book Description

Gravity is not your normal, sweet romance of childhood friends to lovers. Spanning over twenty years—it’s raw, it’s real, asking the question if soul mates really exist.


Lily
At eight years old, the boy next door changed my life. He was the force pulling me toward him despite our differences. It was like magic.
We understood each other, supported each other and in the process became everything to each other.
But in chasing Trevin’s dream, I lost myself along the way.Trevin
Through tremendous heartache, she was there. Through fame and fortune, she was there. Loving Lily was the one thing I got right.
Eclipsing her in my shadow, I took from her until she was empty. Now I must do anything to prove I can be the man she wants, no, the man she deserves.

Gravity is my first book by Lauren Runrow.  I am always slightly hesitant to read a new author, especially in a genre where I am quick finicky.  There are very few rock star romances that I am fan of only because I know what I like and don’t like in them.  Lauren gave me a different side that I wasn’t expecting and I actually enjoyed it.

Gravity is so much more than just the rock star ambiance of sex, drugs and music.  Yes, it’s there but it’s more of muted point.  It’s not a driving force in this book; it’s almost viewed expected and accepted.  Gravity is more about watching two friends grow – sometimes together and sometimes apart.  It’s got its sweet moments and it’s got its ugly and moments.

Trevin and Lily are two kids who become instant friends at the age of 8.  They are there for each other through everything as they grow up.  Lily is there when Trev gets his big break and does her best to stay right there with him as his life blows up.  Lily is getting herself through college and tries to teach dance as much as she can.  And when things are finally falling into place for them, they are finally ready to give way to what has always been there – them together.  But not every HEA is without it’s drama along the way.

“You’ll always be my gravity.  You’re what I need to stay grounded, no matter where I go, no matter what happens, remember that.  Only you.”

Lauren really surprised with how this story progressed.  I knew at some point a problem had to arise and when it came to fruition, as much as I knew it was going to happen, I was still slightly shocked by it and how everything plays out afterwards .  Lauren lays this book out nicely.  If flows extremely and I love that it’s told from both their POV’s.  I enjoy how she wrote Trev and Lily’s story.  It’s honest, real and raw.

If you are like me and have enjoy a good YA/NA book, I highly recommend giving this book a go.  I will definitely be looking to more of Lauren’s other books.

Stay is the 5th book in the Bleeding Stars series.  Ash’s story – the party boy, the carefree one.

I was not expecting this story.  I knew he harbored guilt over what happened to his sister Edie.  But before all that, he was the easy going, party loving guy of the whole Band. 

“Even wild souls need a place to rest.”

Willow is a breath of fresh air.  She’s sees the beauty in everything; even after everything she ever wanted and had was taken greedily from her.  Her life is filled with a lot of tragic events, but she’s always been able to still find the sliver lining.

“That’s your gift. You see the beauty in the old.  The beauty in the bad.  The beauty that’s hidden in all things.”

Willow and Ash are from two different worlds.  They are two different people.  And when their worlds collide, it’s a force to be reckon with.  But it’s a whirlwind of chaos between the two of them.  Ash refuses to let his heart be owned again.  And Willow refuses to give her heart to anyone who can’t give theirs in return.

“Sometimes our greatest gifts are found in our darkest hour.”

I had figured this story was going to be about finding love in places you never expected.  And yes, that is the underlying tone in this story.  But it’s the heartache, the loss, the tragedies that give this book the depth.  Like with every Bleeding Stars book, there is no shortage of emotions.  You see a side of Ash that we never could have anticipated.  And we get to watch Willow bloom into a new woman – one that was waiting to burst out from the inside.

“One thing you should never do is mistake broken for weak.”

With each new book in this series, I find myself loving them all more and more.  Ash’s story was so unexpected.  And Willow – she’s a fighter.  Their journey isn’t an easy one – it’s filled with some much fear, loss, heartbreak but also hopes and dreams.

“Love is never cut and dry.  It’s messy.  Confusing.  Sometimes it’s ugly and sometimes it’s the most beautiful things you’ve ever seen.  But no matter how much it might hurt, it can never change the fact it’s real.  That it’s worth fighting for.  And the real kind of love will always come back to you.”

Excerpt

 

Cash’s POV“Stay.”

It’s uttered so quietly, I assume she’s dreaming. Without turning to look at her, I take another step out of the room.

“Please.”

There is a desperate sound in her tone that seizes my heart and traps the air in my lungs. Turning back, I go to the side of the bed and crouch down, so I’m eye-level with her. Softly, I push the hair off her forehead and hold her gaze. All her defenses are down. If a person’s eyes are windows to their soul, I feel like I’m seeing into the depths of her. Seeing all the broken pieces.

“All right, baby girl, I’ll stay.”

And here we have it people…The first book to make me cry of the year-Healing the Broken by K. Street! Healing the Broken will grab your insides, hold them tight, then K. Street will let you go out of her grips and you will feel just as beaten down as Ryann Sinclair. K. Street wrote this book so vividly and with such emotion that it was just amazing! I wish I could really describe how beautifully written this book was. Street took an unapproachable subject matter and wrote it beautifully with such grace and style. I felt every emotion the characters did-happiness, sadness, broken, love, and the feeling of just giving up. To be able to feel of that while reading is truly unique and my hat is off to K. Street for making that possible.

Healing the Broken was not a rushed love story and truly did not leave any emotion unturned. When an author can make you see exactly what they are writing, to actually be able to visualize the events and actions let alone the characters, is truly an amazing gift.

Ryann Sinclair is not your ordinary character. She is trying to forget her past. However, her horrific past is what makes her strong but also can break her at any moment. Normally I see characters that are broken, cry and fall apart but Ryann has a badass side to her! Ryann also as a huge wall up that only Cash can penetrate.

Cash is well- just say hello to your new book boyfriend. Whew and let me tell you to have a man stand behind you, support you and be there for you in your best and darkest moments- isn’t that what we all want ladies? Cash is that guy. I adore this story and couple because there is not a moment he leaves her. When she pushes him away- he stays! I love that. I love that he never says enough of this. I love that K. Street doesn’t make them a typical couple in a romance novel.
