Series: Yes, Dirty Little Secrets #4.
Subject: Choosing happiness

A tabloid scandal unites a powerful mogul and a woman from the wrong side of the tracks in this tantalizing novel from the USA Today bestselling author of Bound Beneath His Pain and the Club Sin series.

Wicked Envy (The Wicked Horse Vegas #3) by Sawyer Bennett

My Rating: 5 Stars
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Subject: The perfect tripod.

Wicked Envy (Wicked Horse Vegas, Book #3)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: October 27, 2017

Synopsis:
The best of friends.
Two men. One woman.
A sinful playground called The Wicked Horse.

Entrepreneur turned millionaire, Dane Hawthorne, has been known to get his kicks at The Wicked Horse Vegas, and he has no shortage of beautiful women waiting for a shot at him. Driven to succeed, no matter if he’s in the boardroom or the bedroom, Dane never backs down from a challenge.

Avril Carrigan isn’t the type of woman to take risks in her personal life but after a broken heart and too much liquid courage, Avril decides to best way to get over one man, is to get under another. Looking to experience all the debauchery she’s heard about from her best friend and business partner, Dane, she requests one thing of him—take her to The Wicked Horse.

The request seems simple. One friend helping another in her time of need. But now that they’ve crossed the threshold, things aren’t as easy as they once seemed. Not only is Dane looking at Avril in a new light, but so is their other business partner and best friend, Andrew Collings. As Dane’s envy blooms, he wonders if he made the right decision when he agreed to show Avril his wicked world.

What happens when the lines of friendship are blurred and boundaries are crossed? Will their relationships survive or will jealousy tear them all apart?

















Every time I open one of Sawyer’s books I am reminded why she is one of my favorite authors. 


The characters she creates are always so identifiable; you get to know them and are deeply in love with all of their little quirks by the end of each book. 

This story is no exception! I have a little place in my heart for best friends turned lovers stories and I’m obsessed with threesome books (even though this was a very particular one).

Avril, Dane and Andrew are a perfect tripod; they have been together for a long time and their friendship is a really healthy one. They work together perfectly and they love each other with all of their hearts; it’s always been that way. That is until they decide to visit the Wicked Horse and everything changes. 

Not all changes are bad, their relationships have changed and this might be just what was missing. But it could also ruin them forever if things go bad.

The attraction between them was insane; the first scenes when they only share eye contact were the craziest ones. The strange situation and location awakened something they had no idea was lurking behind their perfect friendship, and seeing them realize just that was priceless.

But threesomes are a complicated animal and they will have to jump through a couple of loops before they can find a rhythm that works for all of them.

Is their bond strong enough to sustain this, or will they destroy each other in the way? 

Just AMAZING!

Their Spoiled Brat (A MFM Daddy Romance) by J.L. Beck


My Rating:  4 Stars
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Series: No.
Subject: Short menage story.
Synopsis
She’s going to call us Daddy, even if she doesn’t want too. 

My twin brother and I love women, and we love sharing them even more. So the moment we lay eyes on the innocent little Stephanie we know we have to have her. You see we have money, and a kink that needs to be met and Steph while she looks like she could be the perfect brat for us. 

They both want me. Two alpha’s set on making my dreams come true. I’ve never done the things they want me to do but with both of them taking control of me I know I have nothing to worry about. 

Still I’ve got Daddy issues, issues that money can solve and the Wright brothers know just how to tempt me not only out of my clothes and into their bed but into a deal I can’t refuse. 

The only problem is will I be able to walk away after having tasted both of them? I mean, I can’t be their spoiled little brat forever, can I?


-This is a STEAMY M/F/M romance that ends in a HEA. This is SMUT all the way through. Pour yourself a drink, and shuck the panties to the floor because it's time to get dirty with the Wright brothers.-
















This is the J.L. Beck's first menage book I've read and I loved it!

It is a fun and fast read, full of hot sex scenes and crazy sexual moments between the characters. 

The plot is super fast paced: meet + sex= insta-love; but if you are looking for a steamy story with two extremely irresistible guys and a strong but inexperienced woman this is the story for you.

Since the moment she meets the twins there's no going back, she feels the pull and even though she is a bit scared she can't refuse their invitation.

I felt like there was a lot more to say, and the story was a bit cut short for my taste, but it was still enjoyable.

Taken by The Billionaire (Sold to The Billionaire #2) by J.L. Beck

My Rating:  4 Stars
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Series: Yes, Sold to The Billionaire #2.
Subject: The ultimate fight for love.
Synopsis
I paid half a million dollars for her body but she refused to give me her heart... 

She told me she would never love me because of the sinfully wrong things I swore I would do to her, so I made the biggest mistake of my life and let her go.

It isn’t until three years later when another man comes into the picture that I feel the need to step in, after all my sweet little angel’s virginity is still mine and I’ll do whatever the hell I need to, too show her that.

I may have let her go once, but this time I'm taking what's rightfully mine. 

Her heart, her body, and her soul. 


-This is a DARK romance, heed the warning. If you don't like alpha's, the mafia, explicit sex, or swearing then you probably shouldn't even consider reading this book. Can be read as a standalone, or in conjunction with the first two books in the series.-

My Review
Book given in exchange of an honest review.

Third book in the series and things get darker and darker. Seth is back and he wants his Angel back too but it's not gonna be that easy.

He has changed but in his life things are not that easy and he is confronted with the choice of going back to who he was or loosing the only thing he has left.

Taylor has changed too, she is now jaded, life has not been fair to her and she is in need of a savior.

It's a thrilling read and I was on the edge on my seat the whole time, needless to say I read it all in one sit and was left wanting more... that cliffhanger almost killed me!!

The Playboy Bachelor (The Bachelors of Arizona #2) by Rachel Van Dyken

My Rating:  5 Stars
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Series: Yes, The Bachelors of Arizona #2.
Subject: A Second chance at love.
Synopsis
She's no Sleeping Beauty. And he's definitely no prince . . . Margot McCleery could have lived her whole life without seeing Bentley Wellington again-her ex-best friend and the poster boy for Hot, Rich Man-Whores everywhere. But Margot's whiskey-augmented grandmother "buys" Bentley at a charity bachelor auction, and now suddenly he's at her door. Impossibly charming. Impossibly sexy. And still a complete and utter jackass. Bentley's just been coerced by his grandfather to spend the next thirty days charming and romancing the reclusive red-haired beauty who hates him. The woman he abandoned when she needed him the most. Bentley knows just as much about romance as he knows about love-nothing. But the more time he spends with Margot, the more he realizes that "just friends" will never be enough. Now all he has to do is convince her to trust him with her heart . . . 

My Review

Book given in exchange of an honest review.

I loved the first book in the series and this one was no exception! 

Now it's Bentley's turn to face the matchmakers and he is in for a wild and rough ride. The story begins where we left of in the first book, he has been bought and he is spending a weekend with this mysterious woman (for us till now) from his past.

Bentley surprised me, he seemed like such an idiot when we first met him,don't get me wrong he was funny but he treated women like they worthless toys and that didn't sit well with me.

In this book we meet his exception. Margot suffered a great loss and she hasn't been the same since, she has lost touch with the world and with herself, and it's his job to get her back.

The story was fun and I couldn't put the book down! They are perfect together, even when they fight you can see how much they know each other and how deeply they care about one another.

Their attraction hasn't changed even though they haven't been close for years. They fight every step of the way, but realising they are still those two kids who couldn't stay apart is their biggest challenge.

Bentley had far more issues than what he showed us at first, he is so scared of losing that he just took himself out of the game altogether. But if he wants the HEA he needs to fight for it, risking everything, because true love never comes easy, or so they say.

Restrained Under His Duty (Dirty Little Secrets #3) by Stacey Kennedy


My Rating:  5 Stars
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Series: Yes, Dirty Little Secrets #3.
Subject: Surrender to temptation.
Synopsis
An uninhibited politician’s daughter falls for her loyal bodyguard behind closed doors in this scandalous novel from the USA Today bestselling author of Bound Beneath His Pain and Tied to His Betrayal.

As the chief of security for a prominent senator, Ryder Blackwood is stunned when an anonymous source sends him a compromising photo of his boss’s twenty-five-year-old daughter getting down and dirty in an underground sex club. If it gets out, the media firestorm could ruin her father. More troubling for Ryder is how arousing he finds the whole situation. He’s known Hadley Winters since she was a kid. And now she’s the woman in all his most private fantasies.

Wild behavior helps Hadley get through those painful, lonely nights, but she’s been waiting a long time for a man like Ryder to protect her from herself. Ryder is raw. He’s real. And he makes her feel safe. Now that they’ve both become pawns in a blackmailer’s dangerous game, there’s more at stake than her father’s political career. As the intimate threats tear apart a tender new love, Hadley is forced to trust Ryder with her life—and her heart.

Don’t miss any of Stacey Kennedy’s seductive Dirty Little Secrets novels:
BOUND BENEATH HIS PAIN | TIED TO HIS BETRAYAL | RESTRAINED UNDER HIS DUTY

My Review
Book given in exchange of an honest review.

I'm in love with this series! It has just the right amount of mystery, excitement and crazy good sex scenes.

Let's not forget these hot alpha males of the Council, I loved each and every story about them and I can't wait for the next one.

This time it was Ryder's turn, he always seemed so controlled and cold, but in this book we see him loose a bit of that while he crumbles under Hadley's feet.

He feels he has a duty towards her father and that tortures him through the whole book, but we know that an attraction as strong as theirs can't be stopped and he is loosing the battle against his mind.

Hadley knows she has wanted him since she was young, he is everything she needs and nothing will get in her way of getting him. She has demons of her own and she needs Ryder to save her; it's a challenge he can't resist, once he truly sees her there's no turning back.

They are fighting together against a common enemy and at the same time trying to figure out how they feel about each other.

The book is full of thrilling and suspenseful moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat, I couldn't put the book down.

Synopsis

One decision…
All I can do is show her my world. It's up to her whether to embrace it or destroy it.

***This is a hot standalone contemporary romance starring a dominant alpha. No cliffhanger or cheating and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.***

My Review

Book given in exchange of an honest review by the author.

This is my first book by Lucy Wild and I have to say I liked her style! 

My week has been filled with daddy's books, but this one was my favorite.

The taboo is almost nonexistent, he just loves to play the father figure, to protect his little girl and there's something so sexy about that !

She was a weak character and had a huge baggage of issues, but she found her place with him.

He risked everything because not having what he wanted was not an option for him, he decided she was his and there was nothing she could do to resist him.

The way in which he treated her was sweet and at the same time so intense it was hard not to fall for him from the start.

The sex scenes were perfection, you might say too perfect at times, but that is what made them so good!

Scandal (A Dirty Money Novel) by Isabella Starling

My Rating: 5 Stars
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Series: No.
Subject: Finding the mystery might save their lives.
Synopsis

Little secrets always grow up to be a big scandal... 
ASHER 
Everyone’s got secrets. 
Dirty little secrets. 
But not like this. 
Chloe Carlyle is totally off-limits. 
The one girl I can’t touch. 
Her mother is about to marry my dad, her father is in prison for murdering my mom…and I want her more than anything. Yeah, I never said this wasn’t fucked up. 
And things are about to get a whole lot more fucked up. 
This town has seen a lot of scandals, but this one’s gonna blow them all out of the water… 

CHLOE 
A wealthy city like Claremont Bay is accustomed to sinful scandals, but this latest one has shaken everyone to the core. 
My father has been accused of murdering his mistress, and my mother is marrying the man who put him in prison — Robert St Clair. 
Despite how messed up that is, it's not exactly Robert I'm worried about. It's his son. 
Asher St Clair. 
He’s insufferable. Intoxicating. Impossibly handsome. 
I can’t fall for him. Can’t let him get under my skin. 
I have bigger things to worry about, like my father’s imprisonment, because I’m the only one who believes he didn't kill that woman. So who did? The answer may lie closer to home than I know… 

Scandal is a full-length bad boy romantic suspense novel. There is no cheating and a happily-ever-after for this couple. Scandal is the first book in the Dirty Money series with connected characters. 

My Review

I got this book by the author and loved every second of it.
I am a fan of Isabella's books but this one was a pleasant surprise; a thrilling and mysterious story, a killer and a lot of secrets to be uncovered if they want to survive.

Chloe's life is a mess, her dad has been accused of murder and she is living a nightmare she can seem to wake up from. 

Then she meets the infamous Asher and he is everything she doesn't need right now but she can't seem to get reed of him.
Giving in the temptation is inevitable for them and within each other they find what they were missing all along.

The story takes these two characters through a race for their lives and they keep uncovering scandals that are putting their lives at risk more with each passing minute.

Chloe is an amazing woman who is too good for her own self. Her biggest mistake is putting too much trust in the people around her and that's why she needs Asher, he helps her get perspective.

Asher grew so much as a character during the book, he was a selfish bastard and when he starts to spend more time with Chloe he surprised us all by actually changing and developing feeling for other people and caring more.

The sex scenes are perfect and they have this sweet connection that will help them survive anything that comes their way.

Seduced by The Billionaire by J.L. Beck

My Rating: 4 Stars
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Series: Yes.
Subject: The sexy and dark love story continues. 
Synopsis
When Raven sold her virginity to bad-boy billionaire Fox Smith she never expected to fall for him, or better yet be consumed by him. 

Leaving him was the hardest thing she’s ever done, and with enough money to keep her afloat for years she has no reason to see him again. That is until a unforeseen secret forces her to go crawling back to Fox. 

Fox knows Raven’s the one. He can feel it in his chest, so letting her go the first time was tough enough, but when she comes barrelling back into his life he knows he can’t let her go again. When the actual thought of losing Raven hits him, and secrets start to come to light like never before Fox must decide if holding onto his darkness is really worth it anymore?

Especially when the reason Raven is being targeted has everything to do with him… 

-This book contains instalove themes, violence, sex, and a HEA that will satisfy you beyond belief. This is book TWO in the series and DOES NOT end in a cliffhanger.-

My Review

I got this book in exchange of an honest review by the author. It's the second one in the series and now we get to read about the next part in Fox and Raven's story. 

She is staying away because she has to care for her mother, but most of all she is scared. She run away as soon as she could because it was too intense.

Fox is not himself anymore, he is missing a part of him, he didn't even knew existed.
He needs Raven back but things are more complicated than he could have expected and things will get worse before they get better.

The brothers are such a mystery for me, they care a lot but they also have this deep darkness that consumes everything around them. 
Fox has found something to keep the darkness at bay, Raven brings light into his life but he will need a lot of help to protect her from it.

Their connection is still amazing and the time apart hasn't changed anything, they are meant for each other. Why do I think that? Well apart from the amazing sex (of course), she is not trying to change him, she loves him just the way he is, and that is true love in my book. She embraces the darkness because it's part of who he is.


Seth is lost though and I can't wait to read his story!

Seducing the Virgin by J.L. Beck

My Rating: 4 Stars
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Series: Maybe?
Subject: Tapping into your darkest desires with an unexpected stranger.
Synopsis
She didn't think her virginity had a price tag.... she was wrong. 

When Fox Smith locks eyes on the sweet little lamb known as Raven he can't help but wonder if she would melt under his touch. 

He's not in the business of buying women for sex, and he doesn't need an inexperienced virgin clinging to his side all hours of the day and night but he feels drawn to her and knows more than anyone that what you see on the outside is nothing more than an image painted to cover up your own dirty secrets. 

Fox knows Raven isn't telling the truth about why she needs the money from the auction and he's going to get her to spill the beans one way or another. 

Raven Miller isn't the type to sell her virginity at auction but she has no choice it's the only thing she has left that's worth selling. When she finds out CEO bad-boy Fox Smith is the man who bought her virginity she freaks out. If he discovers the real reason she sold her virginity he may not give her the money and if that happens then she'll lose everything. 

-This is a darkish romance with instalove themes. It contain's M/F/M scenes and ends with an HEA that will more than satisfy your sweet tooth. If you love alpha's who are bad, but redeeming then you should definitely consider one-clicking this book.-









My Review

Book given in exchange of an honest review by the author, it's dark and sexy and I loved it!

I'm falling more and more in love with J.L. Beck's writing every time I read a new book of hers, in this case it's a much darker story. 

It's not all fun and games, our leading lady has to make a sacrifice to save someone precious to her and the decisions she makes lead her straight to Fox.

He is ruthless, he doesn't have time to teach a little virgin what to do, but Raven is different and he knows that the second he lays eyes on her. She deserves much better but lucky for him she is his now.

They both have secrets that keep them apart but when everything unravels what will they choose. Will Raven want this man who bough her for himself, who she is certain is a bad man but has a good heart; or will she run and never look back. 
Will fox understand his feelings for her? Is he capable of feelings at all?

I was glued to this book, it kept me on edge the whole time and I couldn't stop till I found out what happened. 

Even though their situation is not ideal, they found something within each other, a connection that was deeper that any of them could have ever expected and they have no idea what to do with it. 

For now they just let go and let themselves be consumes by the other.


Beware of the cliffhanger, other than that it's just so good you won't regret it!

Wrecking Ball (Hard To Love #1) by P. Dangelico

My Rating: 5 Stars
Series: Hard To Love #1
Sex Scenes: Yes.
Subject: Opening your heart again.
Synopsis
Cam DeSantis’ life is a hot, steaming pile. How else would you describe losing your husband, your job, and your money all at once? Desperate times call for desperate measures, so when salvation comes in the form of one intolerable a-hole, who just happens to be the starting quarterback for the vaunted NY Titans, she has no choice but to accept his offer as a live-in nanny slash teacher for his eight year old nephew. Now all she has to do is find a safe place in her mind to hide whenever she feels the need to throat punch him into tomorrow…which is often.

Calvin Shaw has zero interest in women. Wait, wait––let me rephrase that. He loves women, he just doesn’t want anything to do with ‘um. Not since his wife, presently ex-wife, got knocked up by the guy she was cheating on him with. Problem is...there’s one living in his house. And he doesn’t know what’s worse, that he promised to be civil, or that he’s attracted to her.


The protagonist of this stand alone novel has a propensity for profanity and sexual shenanigans. You've been warned. 

My Review

Book given in exchange of an honest review on Netgalley,

I loved this book from the start! I found the characters hilarious and intense; and since the sex scenes are far into the book we get to know them pretty well before anything happens and that made the connection between them much stronger which definitely  hooked us up!

Cam has been through A LOT, and it's not figurative speech, her life has been ruined, her husband died and now she has no job and no money. 

Even though all of those things are happening to her, she is still strong enough to stand up for herself, and that made me love her from the start. 

During our lives we may hit some rough patches and it's not about who suffers the most, it's about how we overcome this situations and she is a perfect example of that.

But she still needs a job, and there comes Calvin, he was such a weird moody character from the start, that I couldn't put my finger on what he wanted out of Cam.
But he starts to shed his outer self preservation coverage and bit by bit we start to see this really good man, who has had a hard time in life and is now guarded.

The fascinating part about this book is that there's a point in which you are so deep inside the story and so connected to the characters that you forget about how they were before. In that moment your mind knows that Calvin's eyes where always these expressive, and that Cam could never keep her hands of him.

Calvin surprised me the most, he was such a pure soul. He had been always a romantic, and that was hard to tell from our first impression, but then he uncovers little bits of himself that leave Cam speechless.

I really fell for this characters, the author did an amazing job in making them super relatable and so likeable that you can't stop yourself from crying alongside them and wanting to be Cam's best friend and help her in her bad moments.


A must read!
