Callum by Melissa Schroeder


I do believe Callum has met his match in Phoebe, "turning on her heel, she started off in the wrong direction. He reached her in two steps, grabbing hold of her elbow. She stopped, he back bumping against his front. Every nerve in his body went on alert. His co** twitched." She is the type of girl who surprises Callum at every turn, "no. I punched him." She waited a beat. "Then I threatened to castrate him if I ever saw him again." He couldn't stop the laugh that escaped. It was hard to believe this woman would be able to hurt anyone, especially a grown man." The boy is built and has no qualms of flashing that around, "he tore at his clothes until he was standing in front of her completely nude. Lord, the man would never cease to amaze her. Sinewy muscle encased with the most amazing golden skin. How did he get every inch of himself to look like he walked around in the sun naked? His erection jutted out a drop of his pre-come wetting the head." I can't wait for the other men in this series to get their own book. 

Romance Impossible by Melanie Marchande


Maxwell that boy is something else, "this will probably surprise you," he said. "But on the scale of head chefs, I'm actually not that hard to work for. If you're eager, if you're passionate, and above all, if you listen to effing directions -" Here, he briefly grinned again " - we'll get along just fine. And you come highly recommended." Jillian she's a good person, she brings Maxwell some things to feel better, "I brought you some things," I said, shoving the bag towards him. "I just...Lydia said nobody checked on you, so I wanted to make sure you were okay." And Maxwell that boy is just so damn charming, "shhh," he whispered, punctuating it with a flick of his thumb that sent a shock of pleasure up my spine. "The neighbors will hear, love." This book was alright it wasn't what I thought it would be.

                "The scroll chose you. For whatever reason, she's your reap."
                "Well, that sucks." Leila chewed her bottom lip. "If I don't do it?"

Secrets of Seduction by Nicole Jordan


Good lord, I loved Hawk, "his expression softened a measure as he lowered the blade to his side. "Are you daft, setting out in a storm?" And the boy gets distracted by Skye's breasts easily, "yes, but I can sleep in my shift if need be." For a moment his gray gaze drifted lower over her body, as if her were imagining her in her shift." And when a lady only climaxes once in his bed he gets offended, "she hadn't climaxed a second time, thought. Vowing to do better, he eased his weight to one side and would have rolled off her, but she wouldn't let him go. Her arms were still wrapped around him, her fingers drifting lightly over his back. She was stroking his scars again." I loved reading Hawk and Skye's adventure it was such a fun read. 

Misappropriate by Kathryn Kelly


I didn't read the first book in the series, and that's okay because I wasn't lost and Christopher has lots of love for his woman, "he was always up for a good time - as long as Megan was with him. Call him an obsessed mothereffer, he didn't give a good eff. Where Megan was, was where he wanted to be." And when his woman is missing for a few hours he goes ape-sh**, "hey me?" He narrowed his eyes at her. "Where the eff you been? And who the eff was that effhead harrassin' you?" And the way he talks to his baby boy is priceless, "I feel you, boy," he said gruffly, kissing the tip of his nose. "You want your gorgeous momma not your big, ugly old man. But you ain't goin' to sleep any time soon and Daddy is about to burst out of his effin' pants-" And even if you're joking around you don't mess with his girl, "hey, effhead," Christopher growled. "Watch your effin' mouth and how you talk to my old lady. She ain't gonna be in here for-effin-ever to calm me the eff down. Curse like that at her again and I'm effin' you up." 

Entry-Level Mistress by Sabrina Darby


Daniel is just a smitten, "no, I don't invite all my employees to lunch. But I'm inviting you." And he's not afraid to let his intentions or his feelings known, "what I want, Emily, is something I shouldn't even be thinking right now, with that door unlocked and Janine about to come back from lunch any minute." Emily lays their agreement out in front of them, "so this, it's going to happen your way, everything? you text. I run. you pick me up, drop me off..." This book was a good time read. 

Blind Wolf Box Set by Aubrey Rose


I enjoy boxsets a lot more than stand alone books because you can dive into the next book right off without waiting. And Damien, is just all sorts of 'I need the next book now' type of man so I'm really glad I got the boxset. I like how he's independent, "the stairs will be fine. I'm blind, not crippled," the mad said, a half-smile dimpling his cheek." Julia is no damn pushover let me tell you what, "there's nothing to talk about," Julia said. "You came here and flirted with me, kissed me, all the while you're engaged to someone else?" Damien is the type of man to tease when he's injured, "don't worry," Damien said. "The rest of me is in perfect health. And I do mean perfect." He slid his hand around Julia's waist, and she leaned over to kiss him."
