Metamorphosis by: Erin Noelle

Scarlett MacGregor has lived a very sheltered life courtesy of

her over-the-top controlling parents. Having never been to a co-ed party, much less on a date, Scarlett has relied on her books, her music, and living vicariously through her best friend Evie to keep her sanity as she's patiently awaited her freedom from their rule.

When Scarlett and Evie go away to college, Scarlett quickly meets Ashton, Dylan, and later, Mason, and is thrown into a crash course of like, love, and lust. With Evie's help, she must figure out the difference in the three and which one she wants before she ends up without any of them.

Metamorphosis is the story of Scarlett's transformation from a young, naive girl to a strong, mature young woman and her search for self-discovery and true love.

What a fun story!!

It's seriously as if one of us book nerds got to live out the fantasy of our book boyfriends! What a fun concept!

I adored Scarlet and thought she was way better adjusting to her life outside of her jail of a home life she had, with a great sense of humor to boot!

Very emotional parts and a few twists and turns throughout...made for a great/fun read!

Serving Him, Volumes I-VI by: M.S. Parker and Cassie Wild

 Volume 1
“I moved to New York from Iowa to find a life that I didn't know I was looking for. I expected to have to work hard and barely make ends meet. But…I never expected to meet HIM.”

For twenty-one year-old Aleena Davison, it was a life-long dream coming true when she said goodbye to her dreary small-town life in Iowa and moved to Manhattan. 
However, it didn’t take long for her dream to turn into a nightmare. Everything from the roommate from hell to her asshole of a boss, contributed to her pain and she’d just about given up. That was…until she ran into devilish handsome, Dominic Snow. 
The mysterious stranger not only tried saving her waitress job, but also made her an offer she couldn’t refuse, a new and much more lucrative job. 
“Strictly professional,” he’d insisted. But could she trust herself working for the hottest man she’d ever met?



Volume 2
“How did it happen? Fairytales don’t become real…do they? Will I wake up in a moment, back in my old apartment, and realize it was all a dream?” 

When twenty-one-year-old, Aleena Davison, gets hired as the new live-in personal assistant for billionaire businessman, Dominic Snow, life seems almost too good to be true. Despite her lack of experience, she manages to impress not only her new boss, but also everyone around her. 
Everything moves along as planned until one day Aleena accidentally walks into the private bedroom of Dominic Snow. What she sees will change her life, forever. 







Volume 3

“Faced with the racist insults from Dominic’s mother, I realized that my new job of serving HIM was no fairytale after all. Now I had a choice to make. Stay or get the hell out.” 

Aleena Davison is a strong and smart woman, but can she play in the wicked games the women of New York’s high society play? Especially when they play by different rules? 










Volume 4
“Dominic Snow wanted me. I never doubted that fact, but I was doing what I'd promised myself I wouldn't do. I was falling for him, and I couldn't help thinking I'd made a terrible mistake.” 

Aleena Davison's life is quickly spinning out of control. Her rich, gorgeous boss is taking her to heights of sexual pleasure that she'd never imagined, but it's quickly becoming apparent to her that, no matter what he says, sex is all she is to Dominic. She, however, wants more. When things come to a head, will Dominic be willing to give up some of his control or will Aleena walk away? 








Volume 5
“I'd said the words, told him that I loved him, and he hadn't said them back. After all he'd been through, I understood, but the absence of them left me feeling more vulnerable than ever before.” 

As Aleena Davison finds herself falling deeper in love with her boss, Dominic Snow, her feelings leave her open to the malicious nature of socialite Penelope Rittenour. More than anything, Aleena wants to know where she stands with Dominic, but something else seems to be occupying his mind lately. She just hopes it isn't someone else. 









Volume 6
I'd never wanted anything as much as I wanted Dominic Snow. I wanted all of him. His strengths and his weaknesses. His past, present and future. I just hoped that digging into that past wouldn't break us. 

Aleena Davison thinks that her relationship with her handsome, wealthy boss, Dominic, is going well. He's opening up, understanding what it means to be in a relationship outside the bedroom, but when he tells her that he's looking into his past, she's afraid that he'll start to close himself off again. As secrets are revealed will they harm or heal the man she loves? 

FYI, I'm giving my review of the six novella's as a whole and not each individual one....

Let me start of with WOW! What a fantastic read! I literally couldn't put the books down and totally adored Aleena and Dominic. They're chemistry was on fire and their connection is just adorable.

There were some serious moments that you felt so connected with Aleena and the position she finds herself in. Down on your luck girl gets dream job with hottie boss...that happens to everyone, right?! In our fantasy for sure!

Dominic is an amazing character. Not nearly as "alpha" as I would actually imagine someone in his position...but he puts off enough of the alpha vibe that it works. His background is thoroughly captivating and I really wish there was more to it. I felt like it was just more brushed over here and there instead of really dedicating more to it. But what was there, was really great! 

These two overcome some serious obstacles in the forms of family, friends, and the past. Nothing is easy for them but they work so well together and make you always feel like there's hope for people that grow up so differently between race, money, status, etc...and fall so head over heals for one another.

Overall, amazing read! Loved all six novellas!

Doctor Patient Confidentiality-Part 1 by: Eme Strife

I can't believe how different things are now; how complicated my life

has become in such a short amount of time. 

It was never supposed to be like this. 

He's off limits. 

He's always been off limits. 

I keep telling myself that; that being here with him is not supposed to feel this good. 

God, HE'S not supposed to feel this good. 

I wonder what my life would have been like now if I had gone to the clinic on a different day, or if I had just insisted on going with the physician I was initially referred to. 

Never in my life would I have thought that in the events that followed the beginning of a regular school week, a random checkup would end up spawning a highly angst-filled, incredibly confusing, and quickly-unfolding mess.

I really think this hot read is going to have great potential.

This first book in the the series was a little draggy at times with very long descriptions of things that aren't really important, but knowing what's to come because of the prologue, I know it's going to be worth it.

I kinda felt that Ramona was utterly depressing and she needs one hell of a "cheer me up". Enter Doctor Dexter Frost....even his name is incredibly hot. You just can't seem to help yourself.

I really am looking forward to part two of this mini series, especially since we know now how the hottie doctor is!

Brendon by: Nicole Edwards

Brendon Walker’s life was altered drastically when his twin brother fell in love. Coming to grips with his new reality hasn’t been an easy road, and he fears he’s all but given up.

Cheyenne Montgomery is familiar with the spotlight, and she’s familiar with fame. What she isn’t familiar with is the incredible lure of the sexy Walker brother who makes her heart beat wildly. Seeing him spiral out of control has been tough on her. So what will it take for Cheyenne to convince him that change can be a good thing?

Ok, so it's no secret that I LOVE Nicole Edwards. I was heart broken to hear this would be the last AI book, but I am so excited for her new series' that are coming that I think I'll survive. The Walker brothers have been amazing and they are always going to be in my heart!

That being said, I've never been a big fan of Brendon. I don't know what it's like to have a twin, but he just severely bothered me throughout the series. I wasn't really looking forward to his story.

Cheyenne is an adorable sweetheart and I really liked her. Before really knowing more about her story and her back history, I really was wondering why the heck a country star was hanging out with the Walker family at functions and such. HAHA! Now, well now I know how it started!

Overall, the story was very cute. I really adored them as a couple it seemed like they were seriously meant to be! 

Adored by: Lexi Blake

A man who gave up on love



Mitch Bradford is an intimidating man. In his professional life, he has a reputation for demolishing his opponents in the courtroom. At the exclusive BDSM club Sanctum, he prefers disciplining pretty submissives with no strings attached. In his line of work, there’s no time for a healthy relationship. After a few failed attempts, he knows he’s not good for any woman—especially not his best friend’s sister.

A woman who always gets what she wants

Laurel Daley knows what she wants, and her sights are set on Mitch. He’s smart and sexy, and it doesn’t matter that he’s a few years older and has a couple of bitter ex-wives. Watching him in action at work and at play, she knows he just needs a little polish to make some woman the perfect lover. She intends to be that woman, but first she has to show him how good it could be.

A killer lurking in the shadows

When an unexpected turn of events throws the two together, Mitch and Laurel are confronted with the perfect opportunity to explore their mutual desire. Night after night of being close breaks down Mitch’s defenses. The more he sees of Laurel, the more he knows he wants her. Unfortunately, someone else has their eyes on Laurel and they have murder in mind.

Adored is exactly what this short and sweet novella is!

Mitch and Laurel don't seem to have a ton in common except their sexual chemistry. And when they let it go, it seriously is electric! Dang, yea...it's electric!

Mitch, I found him to be kinda annoying with his policies and rules. Though at the same time, I kind think maybe he's a bit more what real Dom's are like out in the real world. So I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I think of him.

Laurel, she's a bit more of calm than most people would be in the positions she finds herself. Like seriously....panic a bit woman! HAHAHA

Oh...and Lexi....that is a freaking heart wrenching cliff hanger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall, it always a great and amazing continuation of one of my favorite series, Masters and Mercenaries!

Lone Wolf Rising By: Jami Brumfield

Revenge has deadly consequences. Seventeen year old Rebecca Winters’ main goal for ten years has been to graduate high school and take down the people who killed her parents. When she stumbled upon a werewolf pack in the middle of Phoenix, she knew she’d found a way to make her dream come true. Instead of getting vengeance, an act of war has put her into a position of power and forces her to put her thirst for family justice on a temporary hold.

He is duty bound to protect her. Lucian (Lucky) Lamont is a member of the Protectors, an elite supernatural police force who works for the Authority. Their main goal is to keep humans in the dark about the creatures who live among them. Lucky is assigned to protect and manage Rebecca, despite her refusal of help. His cover is simple; he poses as the dutiful ‘pretend’ boyfriend in order to keep an eye on the new alpha wolf.

She is his mate.

Gabriel Black though taking his pack back from the witch who was chosen as the new alpha would be simple. He thought wrong. His entire world was turned upside down the moment he met Rebecca at the Authority Council meeting…and he was hooked the moment he kissed her to prove she wasn’t dating his best friend, Lucky.

It’s like being torn between two lovers.

Rebecca is pulled in hundreds of different directions while she attempts to find a way to survive the supernatural world, protect her family, and discover who massacred her entire pack days before her first transformation. She doesn’t have time for romance.

But the heart wants what the heart wants.

And the wolf gets what the wolf wants – or so her alpha believes. While Rebecca manages to keep her head above water as she unlocks political and family secrets which could destroy her, she loses sight of the most important people in her life and one of them pays the ultimate price. 

Who doesn't love a good werewolf story? 

Though young adult isn't one of my favorite genre's, I still can't bring myself to turn away from a good 'ol werewolf. And I'm sure glad I didn't!

Lone Wolf Rising covered basically all the essential of the other paranormal's with vampires and witches too. It had ample attraction, mystery, suspense, and one hell-of-a cliffhanger! 

Oh and I just really adored the split love interest too. Made for a fantastic twist!

Stepbrother Untouchable By: Colleen Masters

Calling Nate Thornhill a rich, cocky, arrogant asshole would be an understatement. 

He also happens to be stunningly handsome, popular, intelligent, and captain of both the Crew and Lacrosse teams at UVA. I hate him for thinking he’s untouchable—not because he’s a narcissistic, privileged, borderline-misogynistic heartbreaker—but because he’s right. 

His first words to me were at a Crew House party, and he literally invited me to have a threesome with him and a random girl. I could’ve died from the embarrassment, he didn’t even know my name at the time, and he didn’t care to. After that night, I promised myself to never waste another second thinking about Nate Thornhilll. 

My world becomes a nightmare when I realize my mom’s new husband Pierce has a son who’s my age…and he’s a junior at UVA too. I can’t believe my eyes when Nate walks over and sits down next to us at dinner, introducing himself like he’s never seen me before in his life. 

Then I feel his hand on my thigh, underneath the tablecloth with our parents sitting across from us, inching closer and closer to my panties. My mind goes fuzzy, my heart starts racing, and my body does exactly what I don’t want it to do. 

And then they hit me with the worst news of all… 

Pierce has an internship lined up for me at his firm, and we’re going to live at his Eastern Shore mansion for the summer. 

I’ll be sleeping down the hall from my new stepbrother…arguing with him at every breakfast, sitting across from him at every dinner, watching as he brings an endless string of girls back to his room…secretly wishing I was one of them.

I can honestly say that I went into this story without great expectations. I found very mixed reviews on it but decided to give it a fair chance. BUT, I can happily say that it was such a very good story and I fell in love with Brynn and Nate myself!

I know that some people really can't get into books that are the normal and traditional love stories. But that's what makes me glad there are other people out there like me, that really love a story with a twist. This is my third book I've read about step-sibling relationships. The first one was terrifying in such mental abuse ways, though an entertaining read...well it just kinda freaked me out a bit. The second one was so much better in the overall story and how they had come together. I really loved it. This one, being my third is right up there with the second book. 

Stepbrother Untouchable is shorter than most of the other books I read, so I was afraid that it was just going to be a "Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am" type of story. Luckily that is not the case. You are quick to adoring Brynn and rooting for her the whole way. Nate and Brynn have some immense sexual tension, but not overloaded amounts. It's more like a 'desirable' amount. The story line is fun and light and adorable.

You Only Love Twice By: Lexi Blake

A woman on a mission 

Phoebe Graham is a specialist in deep cover espionage, infiltrating the enemy, observing their practices, and when necessary eliminating the threat. Her latest assignment is McKay-Taggart Security Services, staffed with former military and intelligence operatives. They routinely perform clandestine operations all over the world but it isn’t until Jesse Murdoch joins the team that her radar starts spinning. Unfortunately so does her head. He’s gorgeous and sweet and her instincts tell her to trust him but she’s been burned before, so he’ll stay where he belongs—squarely in her sights. 

A man on the run 

Since the moment his Army unit was captured by jihadists, Jesse’s life has been a nightmare. Forced to watch as those monsters tortured and killed his friends and the woman he loved, something inside him snapped. When he’s finally rescued, everyone has the same question—why did he alone survive? Clouded in accusations and haunted by the faces of those he failed, Jesse struggles in civilian life until McKay-Taggart takes him in. Spending time with Phoebe, the shy and beautiful accountant, makes him feel human for the first time in forever. If someone so innocent and sweet could accept him, maybe he could truly be redeemed. 

A love they never expected 

When Phoebe receives the order to eliminate Jesse, she must choose between the job she’s dedicated her life to and the man who’s stolen her heart. Choosing Jesse would mean abandoning everything she believes in, and it might mean sharing his fate because a shadowy killer is dedicated to finishing the job started in Iraq. 

Don't you just love finally getting to read the next book in a series you absolutely LOVE!?

Yea...me too!! (we are so alike!)

So I finally got my chance to read the next in the Master and Mercenaries series by the amazing Lexi Blake! I feel like I've been waiting forever for it, though it's only been a few months. That seriously tells you how much I adore this series.

Any who...

Jesse and Phoebe are extremely sweet characters. Regardless of their history they really are just so darn cute together. They don't have that passion that Ian has with Charlotte or the history like Alex and Eve have...they're met fairly recently and find some serious comfort in each others company. 

Of course, there are secrets everywhere and little miss Phoebe has some serious ones. Even some that I was shocked with!

But OMG I absolutely LOVED their Sanctum scene. Like seriously...it was so great! 

Oh an Mr. Tennessee Smith.....we will just be seeing your beautiful ass next time....  

Sin at Sea By: Emma Nichols

When Alysin decided to surprise her boyfriend at work with dinner, the surprise was on her. Since he was going at it with his secretary on the conference table, she packed a bag and called her BFF. Jolie and Alysin had been traveling the country, working as digital nomads for ten years ever since graduation. Taking this as a sign it was time for a new move, they decided to take a cruise, regroup, and make a plan.

Then she meets Mr. Bedroom Eyes. Following her lead, they pretend to be married so that she can rid herself of the guy who started hitting on her before the boat left the dock. Though it was supposed to be a momentary arrangement, he asks her to take it one step farther. Then another and another. The cruise promises to be memorable in every way that matters. 

Along the way, Alysin learns that she won't have to fake an orgasm if she's with someone who knows what to do, that not all men suck, but the best ones suck really well, and that sometimes what starts out as something pretend, can fast become something completely real. Will the woman who lives life with no regrets, regret that she made that stupid rule about not exchanging names and contact info?

One word sum up...WOW.

Seriously, just...wow. This incredible and sexy read was nothing like what I was expecting. I guess I just assumed it was going to be your normal erotic read with hot and steamy scenes. Well, you know what they say about assuming.,...yea, I made an ASS out of myself.

Alysin enjoys life the way most people wish they could. She makes you so envious that you just don't live so carefree and sexual. Her encounter with her mystery man is dream worthy and scrumptious. Following these two on their week on a cruise and their sexcapades while trying to clue in on who our mystery man really is is non-stop entertaining, I literally didn't put the book down! 

The overall story line was fun and entertaining. The sex scenes were hot and even unexpected! This really was a fantastic read! I seriously can't wait to read the next one to see what happens!!

Sins of the Night - -By: Sherrilyn Kenyon

But every now and again a Dark-Hunter thinks himself above the Code. That's when I'm summoned. Who am I? I'm the one thing the fearless fear. Step over the line and it's my wrath you will face. Nothing can touch me. Nothing can sway me. I am relentless and unfeeling.

Or so I thought until I met a female Dark-Hunter who goes by the name of Danger-it's not just her name, it's how she lives her life. She doesn't trust me at all. And who could blame her? She alone knows that I'm here to be judge, jury and most likely executioner of her friends. Yet she is my key to saving some of them. Without her, they all will die.

Dangereuse St. Richard is a deadly distraction. Something about her is reawakening a heart I thought was long dead. But in a race against evil, the only hope mankind has is that I do my duty. And how can I do my duty when it means that I will have to sacrifice the only woman I've ever loved?

Another fan-tabulous story from the Dark Hunter series! Oh, this series is just so fun to read.

I'm currently re-reading the series for the second time, so I can do reviews for them all and I have to admit, that I am actually enjoying the series the second time around even better than the first!

Ok, so onto Danger and Alexion....

Secluded soul doesn't even begin to describe Alexion. He's been around from nearly day one of the Dark Hunters...but sadly, not as a Dark Hunter! His story is tragic and he is THE reason the DH's even have an 'out-clause' in the first place! Trust me, it's heartbreaking!

Danger...well...she's a little spitfire. It's nice to read about female bad-asses that are also very feminine. She isn't one of those hard-asses just because she is a warrior. She's a bit of fresh air in that regard, lol.

Dirty Ties -- By: Pam Godwin

Revenge. 
I race to finance it. 
I evade to protect it. 
I kill to attain it. 
I planned everything. 

Except her. 
The alluring, curvaceous blonde at the finish line. 
With sapphire eyes that cheat and lie. 
Whose powerful family murdered mine. 

I hate her. 
I want her. 

I know she’s hiding something. 
But so am I.

Well, hello there sexy!

WOW! Such a great standalone book! Starts off steamy and doesn't ever stop!

I've never been a huge fan of "racing" style books, just not my cup of tea. But one day I saw a teaser from someone on Goodreads for this book on the day it came out and I just needed to have it!

Due to the teaser, I totally thought this was a MMF book, but don't be fooled if you were under the same impression. Though there is one MMF scene, it's not that type of story at all. It's strictly and standard male/female relationship story line.

Super hot and sexual at every corner! I really enjoyed it!

Into the Darkness, Book 1 & Into the Light, Book 2 -- Kat T. Masen

What began as an affair seven years earlier has since become a tragic love story, a tale of two souls fighting to be together with only their love to guide them. But as people make mistakes, they find themselves once again reliving the past, asking the questions that have remained unanswered. Until now.
Charlie Mason fought hard to rebuild her life and find love again. When the ever-so-perfect Julian Baker proposes marriage, she leaves the past behind her to plan a future with him. Then, in a cruel twist of fate, her past and future collide. Broken and scarred, Charlie is forced to face him once again, the dark angel who took the one thing she had been holding on to—her fragile heart.

Lex Edwards has other ideas. He wants her back and will stop at nothing, even when he realizes the Charlie he knew in high school has changed. She is a game player, and forgiveness is not on her agenda. A dark past threatens their future and the only way to overcome it is to relive the memories. Lex must take her back into the darkness.

He was the Dark Angel. He came and stole what she had desperately tried to hold onto: her heart. Charlie Mason thought she knew better until her insecurities overruled and she again believed he broke her.

In a bid to finally find their happily ever after, Lex and Charlie find themselves on a journey of learning how to love again. They began a new future to move forward from a broken past, but life is never so easy. When you finally have the one thing you’ve always wanted, what do you do when that place of darkness finds its way back, shattering everything you fought so hard to have?

This is the final story of Lex and Charlie, two souls that were brought back together in a twist of fate. An eternal love that has been through every storm, dragged into the dark abyss without a chance of climbing out, but through all the battles they find themselves in a place they call home, away from the darkness and away from the fear. With a glimmer of hope, they look directly into the light. 

I'm doing a double review because....well...because I can! LOL

So, lets start off with book 1, Into the Darkness....

Loved it! Absolutely loved it. Thought it was so great and I couldn't put it down! All the characters are so funny and easy to read and like. Lex is an amazing man and sounds so delicious!

Like some authors that I've read and enjoyed in the past, Kat T. Masen writes as a different character for each chapter. Sticking with only Charlie and Lex as the 'voice' each chapter. However, the only thing I didn't enjoy was that each chapter was basically the same chapter as the previous just from the others point of view! So one chapter we get what's happening on Charlie's end, and then repeat it in the next chapter as Lex. Luckily it's not always entirely exactly the same. But I have to admit, it got old really quick re-living the same time frame in someone else's view.

Over all, I loved the finding the lost love of your life scenario! I loved how they originally hooked up even though most people frown on it. One of my favorite lines from this book (which is my Quote From the Book for this one) is when Lex tells Charlie that he would have no problem leaving his wife, not if something better came along, but something right. Oh, I swoon every time! Love it!

Now, onto book 2, Into the Light....

I wish I could jump for joy and say I loved this as much as the first book.

But it just wouldn't be true.

Not only do we continue with the repeating chapters and back and forth on who's point of view we hear from, but we also add a chapter via Nikki and Eric in their point of views as well. For why? I haven't a clue.

After the first half of the book, I would have gladly stopped and been pretty pleased with the outcome. Having finally found out more about what really happened before Charlie went off to college and how broken she was (which was an amazing part of the book by the way!).  But I honestly didn't feel the last half of the book had any reason for being.

Overall on the Dark Angel series (to date), I was very pleased I read it! Like I said, I really really enjoyed book 1, and was a little disappointed in book 2...but I still love and adore all characters involved.

Book 1

Book 2
