The Truth About Cowboys (Texas Heat #1) by Lisa Renee Jones

My Rating: 4 Stars

Sex Scenes: Yes.

Series: Yes, Texas Heat #1

Synopsis:

I had my life figured out.

Engaged to a successful man.

About to make partner at my firm.

Bought a high-rise apartment in downtown Dallas.

And then, poof, it’s all gone. Now, like in some cheesy romantic comedy, my car has broken down in the pouring rain on my way to “find myself” in The Middle of Nowhere, Texas. Cue hot guy coming to my rescue and changing my tire. This is the part where we flirt and have a meet-cute, right? That’s how it works in romance novels, and I should know—after all, I’m coming to Texas to write my own cowboy romance. But nope. This sexy cowboy lights into me about not being prepared for the country roads and how inappropriate my high-heeled boots are.

Little did I know, Jason Jenks would tilt my world into a new dimension with his sinful smirk and his bad attitude. Every time I turn around, he’s there to reluctantly save the day. And every time, I think there may be something to that spark we ignite. But there’s a reason the majority of country songs are about broken hearts. The closer I get to this man, the closer I get to learning the truth about cowboys.

Fun and sexy love story, between two people who seem so different there is no way they can coexist.

Jessica is running away, her pride is wounded and she needs a place to hide. The little cottage seems like the perfect spot to work on herself and her book and stay away from men altogether. 

Unlucky for her, she hasn’t met the owner yet… or has she?

Jason values his privacy, and he won’t have any outsiders come here and ruin everything he’s work for, even if he can’t seem to resist her.

Hilarious moments between this two, made the story a success. She was clumsy, cute and also strong, and that made her a perfect female lead in my opinion. She didn’t let him walk all over her; she was not going to be pushed away by his fears.

Jason’s past broke him and he hadn’t been able to heal himself till now, they are both escaping reality and their pasts, it will be up to them to choose to let go of the fear and open their hearts again to love.

“Lisa Renee Jones does wildly sexy alpha heroes like no one else!”- Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author 

The Truth About Cowboys, a steamy, sexy, and laugh-out-loud funny contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones, is available now!

While I was off pitching in the big leagues, my family was back in the small town of Sweetwater, Texas, running the family ranch. Then tragedy hit and I discovered there were secrets that my family kept, problems they hid. I went home, left behind the money, women, and fame. I took over the ranch and took care of my grandmother. I took over hiding the secrets. Then she came to town. A smart-mouthed, clumsy, too-smart-and-too-pretty-for-my-own-good city girl hiding out to write a book. She's right here, on my property, in the cottage my grandmother rented her without my permission, and she sees too much. She knows too much. 

Now suddenly my world is spinning, and she's shoving a baseball back in my hand while baking cookies with my grandmother. She's the devil and an angel all in one fiery little package. I decide I'll wait her out. She'll go back to the city. Only suddenly I don't want her to leave, and everything I’ve settled for in my life isn't enough. I want to play ball and I want her, but there's that secret that won't let go, but neither will she.

Because of Lila (Sea Breeze Meets Rosemary Beach #2) by Abbi Glines

My Rating: 5 Stars

Sex Scenes: Yes.

Series: Yes, Sea Breeze Meets Rosemary Beach #2.

Subject: 

Synopsis:

Prim, proper, classic good girl, and her least favorite label - icy. 

Lila Kate Carter has heard them all. The last one, being the newest. She is not icy. She just doesn’t care for Cruz Kerrington and his spoiled, selfish, careless ways. That doesn’t make her icy, that makes him a jerk!

Tired of being labeled and doing what is expected of her, Lila Kate leaves Rosemary Beach, Florida ready for an adventure. Wanting to recreate herself, find a new path, and become something more. 

Eli Hardy is tired of women who always act the same, do the same thing and expect the same thing. He's ready to swear off women until he can get the rest of his life together. 

Two weeks into his no-women-rule he meets Lila. She’s so damn sweet and polite. Like she walked right out of an etiquette book. But he’d already been drunk before she walked in so there was a good chance she might not be as stunning and perfect as he thinks. He’s just too drunk to worry about that. 

The next morning, he swears he can still smell her on his skin. He just can’t remember why or what happened after that third dance. 

Their worlds are about to collide, and so are the secrets and lies.

Review

I enjoyed this book, we are used to Abbi's male characters to be not such good guys at the beginning but then growing into better men and this is no exception.

Cruz and Lila's relationship was TOXIC! He hurt her all the time, and treated her as if he didn't care, which is not such a great role model for relationships. 

That being said, I love a bad boy turned around love story, and him realizing that he was in love with her was a big step in the right direction. 


In the real world this would only end in misery for both, but I'm glad for these two characters and their HEA.

Make Me (The Art of Pleasure #2) by Tracy Wolff

My Rating: 3 Stars

Sex Scenes: Yes.

Series: Yes, (The Art of Pleasure #2).

Subject: Of Art & love

Synopsis:

New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff continues the scorching Art of Pleasure series with Make Me 

Seven days, seven nights…

One week of passion.

One week of submission.

One week where anything—and everything—goes.

Pose for me.

The words both thrill and terrify museum curator Grace Parker.

Thrill her because the way he asks—and the way he looks at her—warns that he wants so much more than a few pictures.

Terrify her for the exact same reasons.

British photographer Jaxon Silva isn’t considered the rock star of the art scene for nothing. His latest project? Photos of bound women captured at the height of ecstasy.

Inspired by the magnetic artist to take a risk for the first time in her life, Grace leaps…into Jaxon’s ropes and his arms.

One week together is all it takes to change everything.

Jaxon—and the woman she is when she’s with him—is what Grace wants forever.

This book is approximately 35,000 words

Jaxon and Grace’s story is hard and fast. They connect on a deeper level and resisting each other seems almost impossible.

She sees too much and that scares Jaxon to death. No one has ever gotten this close to his true self. And to make matters worse he can’t seem to stop wanting her.

Grace has never in her life met anyone like him and its hard for her to understand his attraction to her.

She has been hurt before and her low self esteem is not letting her see what fascinates this amazing artist.

Letting go of her inhibitions and fears will free her and might give her a chance to experience the love of a lifetime.

Super fast paced story, they meet and fall. So if you don’t like that type of bool don’t bother.

I enjoyed the characters but i found myself a bit bored by them. I couldn’t connect with either of them.

Its not a bad book, but I just couldn’t get into the story.

Entice Me (Austin Singles #2) by Kelly Elliott

My Rating: 4 Stars

Sex Scenes: Yes.

Series: Yes, Austin Singles #2.

Subject: Second chances.

Synopsis:

Since the moment Kaelynn Dotson walked into my world, I haven’t been able to think, eat, or sleep. After having my heart broken by the only woman I’ve ever loved, Kaelynn has ignited something deep down inside me—a flame so hot that I cannot ignore, no matter how hard I try.

I vowed to never open myself up to a woman again, but there’s something about Kaelynn that is drawing me to her.

There’s just one problem.

She’s hiding something from me. Trust is something I need, but when it comes to Kaelynn, all the lines seem to be blurred. I know I should take this as a warning and walk away, but for some reason, it’s only enticing me more.

***

I’m living a lie.

I’m not the girl from a middle-class family in Utah like Nash thinks. I’m the heiress to a billion-dollar fortune, and that’s not what he’s looking for. He’s had that before, and it left him scarred.

If the truth comes out, I’ll lose the only man I’ve ever fallen in love with . . . I’m not sure I’m willing to give him up.

Entice Me is book two in the Austin Singles series and is a stand alone novel.

I felt bad for Nash since the last book in the series, what Lili did to him was unforgivable and cruel. She hurt him so deeply that he now was half of the person he used to be; he had no intentions of opening his heart to anyone else, his wall was so high up he couldn't even see past his pain.

That is until he sees Kaelynn, she is a beacon of light in his ocean of darkness, but things will be more complicated than what they seem and taking a chance on her could mean taking a risk he is not ready for yet.

Kaelynn's life has been privileged but doesn't mean she hasn't had hard times like everyone else. How can you be sure someone likes you for you and not for whom your family is. 

So, long ago she decided she will try to be someone else, and that's why she is somewhere no one knows her trying to get people to like the true her.

Something that starts with lies can crumble at any moment and when you hide something for so long, the truth might destroy everything you have built.

Their love story is really fast paced, they had a kind of instant love-attraction thing going, which is cute but at the same time a lot to handle. 

Nash was such a sweet soul, I love bad boys most of the time, but I kind of want to keep him on my book boyfriend list forever now.

Diary of a Bad Boy by Meghan Quinn

My Rating: 5 Stars
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Series: No.
Subject: Sexy bad boy with a side of Irish
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

I have to say I'm shocked by some of the reviews I read. Not every book is for everyone and yes, the main character Roark is a super douchebag at the beginning of the book, but that's the type of story this one is, a redemption one. 

Some people are broken by everything life has thrown their way and they need a lot of work and self love to get to the point where they are a whole person again.

That's the reason why there are thousands of authors and genres.

That being said, I loved everything about this book, I did want to kill him at the beginning and I couldn't understand why Sutton would take all that crap he was throwing her way. But I guess it had to do with the fact that she was also lacking. 

Her life had been a sheltered one and she hadn't come out of her shell yet. She needed a little push to get out and live life; and in Roark's case it was a whole crazy shove that pushed her to her limits.

While she was busy fighting and bickering with him she didn't realize that she was so out of her comfort zone that there was no going back, she was a new person. 

But what if he is too broken? what if he can't see what she sees in him? 

The chemistry they had was so intense and unique it not only made this book a great read but also a hilarious one. 

Talk about self control! for a crazy drunk and troublemaker Roark stood his ground and kept distance as long as he could. 

A must read!

Seduce Me (Austin Singles #1) by Kelly Elliott

My Rating: 5 Stars

Sex Scenes: Yes.

Series: Yes, Austin Singles #1

Subject: From hate back to amazing love.

Synopsis:

What happens when you’re forced to seduce the one person you vowed never to love?

You get screwed … in more than one way. 

I walked out of Tucker Middleton’s bedroom seven years ago, leaving him hurt and angry. Now I need his help; the only way I can get it, is to make him think I want him back. 

The only problem is we have silently vowed to hate one another for the rest of our lives. In order to get Tucker to help me—I have to seduce him. 

Easy right? 

Hell yes! I’m the CEO of CMI Consulting. If I set my mind to something, I make it happen. 

Charleston Monroe is playing me for a fool. If she believes for one second I’m going to let her walk into my life to help her save the very job that ripped her away from me, she’s got another thing coming. 

She thinks she can seduce me, and I let her believe she can. After all, I’m getting what I’ve always wanted. 

Her. 

Caution: 

This story contains crazy hot sex, and one shaved pussy.

Charlie and Tucker's story goes way back, she broke his heart when they were younger and he hasn't been the same with her ever since.

He was so angry, he couldn't help fighting with her every time they saw each other and Charlie was the same way. Their personalities collided every time they were around one another.

But as the saying goes, there's only one step from hate to love and vice-versa, and they are the living proof of it.

When someone hurts you, it's easier to push them away with hateful words and anger towards them, because the other option is acknowledging the pain they caused.

The only problem with that is that it's not really a solution, because that anger is still a really intense feeling towards that person, which makes it impossible to move on.

Tucker has been hating and loving her for years, which caused him not to move on and find someone else, because deep down he knew there was no one else for him.

Charlie has been chasing her future for so long, leaving everything else behind in the way to her final destination. But now that she is there she realizes that this may not be what she wants. 

She was so focus on following this path that she forgot what she really needs.

When they stopped overthinking things fell into place as they were always supposed to.

Two matching pieces of a life time coming solved puzzle.

EXCERPT

Rolling over, I pulled the covers over my head and moaned.

“Oh shit,” I whispered. Even my whispered words hurt my head. I

hadn’t drunk like that in a long time.

Note to self: Give up alcohol. Except wine. Wait. No. Never ever give up

wine.

With my head still buried, I tried to think back to last night. The

last thing I remembered was talking to that guy . . . Brad. No Billy.

Bobby? Brady?

Who cares? I need aspirin.

I pushed the covers over my head and went to get out of bed. I

froze when I saw the sheets.

Oh. My. God.

These aren’t my sheets.

Turning, I looked at the bed.

This isn’t my bed.

Glancing down, I gasped.

I’m not wearing any clothes.

Covering my mouth, I jumped up. “I didn’t. Oh God, please tell me

I didn’t. Terri! I’m going to kill her.”

Frantically looking around, I saw my purse on the chair in the corner.

Rushing over to it, I dug through it until I found my phone.

As I waited for that whore to answer her phone, I mumbled, “She

broke the number one girlfriend code. Don’t let your friend leave with a

guy when they’re drunk!”

“Hey, girl! So? Did you get laid like you wanted? Please tell me yes

’cause this would make a great story.”

My heart jumped to my throat as a small sound came from my lips.

“Wh-what? Why? How could you? You let me go off with him? What if

he had killed me!”

She laughed. “Hardly. But then again, you do drive him up a wall,

and he has mentioned snuffing you out a time or two.”

My finger and thumb went to the bridge of my nose. “What are

you talking about?”

Terri muffled the phone, then laughed. “Hello? Terri! I’m at a

strange man’s house, I don’t remember anything, and I’m naked.”

“Wait. You’re naked?”

“Yes!”

“Oh, wow. Shit just got really interesting. Where’s Tucker?”

Tucker? How in the hell would I know where Tucker was?

“I don’t know! I don’t care. Terri. I don’t know where I am. He

could come back any minute, and I’m standing here naked. Oh my God.

Do you think I had sex with him?”

“Do you feel like you had sex?”

Stopping, I jumped around a bit. “No. I’d be sore if I did, right?

Fuck if I know, it’s been so long.”

Terri sighed. “It really has been that long. You’ve done forgotten

how it feels, huh?”

“Aww, hell, Mr. Pootie!”

“I’m sure he’s fine. Let’s get back to what happened between you

and Tucker last night.”

I shook my head as I glanced around the room for my clothes.

Dropping to my knees, I looked under the bed.

“Why are we talking about Tucker? I have bigger problems.”

Then I heard a male voice clear his throat.

“Oh God,” I whispered. “He’s in the room, Terri. I’m naked! I can’t

find my clothes.”

Terri laughed. “Okay, well, have fun. Tell Tucker I said hey.”

My brows furrowed, and I was about to say something when the

line went dead.

It was then I felt the change in the room, and everything from

last night came crashing back into my poor brain, causing my head to

pound harder.

Slowly lifting up, I peered over the bed, only to find Tucker leaning

up against the doorjamb. He wore a shit-eating grin on his face, and

fuck me, he looked so gorgeous.

Oh no.

I swallowed hard. “Um . . . I can’t, um. Well, it appears I am . . . you

see, I can’t find my, ahh . . . the dress I had on.”

Jesus. Why do I act like an idiot around him? Why!

“Your clothes had throw up on them. They’re almost dry.”

My stomach dropped. “Did we . . . ?”

He smiled. Full on dimples and all.

God, I want him. Even in my current hungover condition, I’ve never wanted

this man more than right now.

Wait. No. I don’t!

Yes . . . yes, you do.

Crap. What if I already had him? And I don’t remember. I’m going to be so

pissed off if we had sex and I don’t remember it.

“No, we didn’t sleep together, and for the record, you got yourself

undressed.”

Relaxing, I let out the breath I didn’t realize I held in.
