From That Moment




Title: From That Moment
Series: Promise Me #2
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 18, 2020

Blurb

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan continues her sexy new contemporary stand-alone series with an enemies-to-lovers office romance.

Paris Trissel is in a dating rut. Despite the pact she made with her friends to find someone to share her life with, she’s throwing in the towel after only a few blind dates. Add in the fact that the new hire at the job she used to love happens to be the Brady brother she can’t stand, and Paris is having a terrible year.

Prior Brady’s life seems pretty perfect from the outside. He has a wonderful, caring girlfriend, a family he’s never been closer to, and a new job he can’t wait to sink his teeth and talents into. Too bad the woman he has to work with for hours a day hates him on sight.

Once the two are forced to find the balance between chemistry and temptation, however, they’ll realize they’re stronger together than apart. Except when Paris’s past comes back with a vengeance, bringing terror, pain, and horror with it, both she and Prior will have to lean on each other.

In more ways than one.

Prior and Paris were great characters and I loved that they didn't fall into a relationship super easily. They had a lot of animosity between them and had to work through some issues before they even became friends which I thought was really fun to see. Paris could come off as a little standoff-ish but once Prior broke down her walls we got to see that she was a strong character and perfect for Prior.

I loved the close family dynamic that we got to see with Prior's family and Paris' friends. They're a very tight group and always so supportive. I love seeing that in books and this author never fails to write amazing groups like that.

Not My Romeo

NMR - RB banner.jpg

“Rife with uproarious moments and banter that sings, this scorching contemporary will captivate Madden-Mills’s fans.” —Publishers Weekly

Not My Romeo, the all-new sexy and unforgettable contemporary sports romance from Wall Street Journal bestselling author Ilsa Madden-Mills is available now!

Madden-Mills - Not My Romeo - 29324 -CV-FT-V

We start off with a lie on Valentine’s Day.

My blind date isn’t the studious guy I expected: he’s a drop-dead gorgeous player with sinful amber eyes. Somehow we end up at his penthouse. I blame the gin and tonic.

The next day I learn he’s Jack Hawke—bad-boy professional quarterback with a murky past. The NDA he has me sign should be a warning that he isn’t a regular person. Please. I sign it Juliet Capulet, so goodbye, famous football player with abs of steel, and good luck tracking down this small-town librarian.

But Jack keeps showing up in places I least expect him. Just when I’m sure he’s gone, he waltzes into my community theater and wins the part of Romeo to my Juliet. How’s a plain, mostly innocent girl like me supposed to resist a man like him?

Is Jack my real Romeo…or will this gorgeous football player only break my heart?

I loved this book so much! Elena quickly became one of my favorite heroines with her no nonsense attitude. She was quirky and fun and a little quiet at times but she was also not afraid to speak her mind and would stand up to even the most imposing football players. She and Jack were amazing together and it was so fun to see Jack not sure how to handle a woman like Elena who didn't just fall all over herself to get to him.

Jack really opened up around Elena and it made me love him so much that he showed that side of him to her when usually he hid it around other people. He was sensitive and sweet under the tough football god exterior and it really drew me to his character. He and Elena together had me smiling so much and I just couldn't get enough of them. I was sad to see the book end but I can't wait to read more from this series.

Trust Me is the second book in the Free series from Grahame Claire and it brought all the sweetness. Holt and Baker had a super fun and cute romance and it captivated me right from the start. I loved that they had such an easy connection, nothing felt forced or out of place and instead it was evident from the first scene that these characters were perfect for each other.

There was a lot of character growth though and I really liked seeing how Holt and Baker both were able to move forward with each other. Baker had a lot to work through but she took a chance with Holt which I thought was admirable. Holt had a lot of hurt from his past too and it made me feel so strongly for him and love him even more to see that vulnerable side to his character.

Bottom line, this is a great book and I definitely recommend it. These characters are first introduced in the previous book Free Me and I think to better understand them that book should be read first.

Wicked Billionaire

Wicked Billionaire (Wicked Horse Vegas, Book #9) Sawyer Bennett Release Date: August 4, 2020


As the prince of a luxury hotel empire, I am as close to American royalty as one can get. I grew up accustomed to a certain lifestyle. One where people give me what I desire and anything, or anyone, else can be bought. Everyone wants a piece of me, yet no one is actually deserving of my time. 

That changes when Bailey Robbins, the smoking hot housekeeper in one of my hotels, catches my attention. Sure, she has curves for days but it’s her smart mouth I can’t help but be intrigued by. I may have avoided relationships all my life, but something about her makes me want to introduce her to my world. 

The darker, wicked side of Declan Blackwood.

Download Wicked Billionaire: Amazon | Nook | Apple | Google | Kobo | Audible



I was looking forward to this book after meeting Declan in the last night book Wicked Secret. He is smoking hot with the rule of not getting attached. He likes his life working hard and playing harder. Life is pretty for him he has everything he needs and wants. Until Bailey comes into his life. She ends up being something that he likes and wants a lot of.

Bailey is brilliant I really like her. She hasn't had it easy and works her backside off she never complains about it just get on with it. Even with a cheat ex husband and parents that need help she doesn't let it get to her she just takes life day for day. Seeing Delcan Blackwood he isn't the typical guy she would normally go for. He luvs himself and is a player something she doesn't need. But when she gives him help with a gala that needed to be sort she found herself in a much better situation. Declan Blackwood might not be the man she thought he was.

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it. The story flowed well and Bailey and Declan were smoking hot together. But that's what you want when you hear the wicked horse series. It was great to see Declan changed throughout this book. He turned into this really caring guy and Bailey made him see life different. They both came from different backgrounds but by the end you wouldn't thing it. I really enjoy this series there so easy to read and the characters are great there so worth the read.



This series brings all the steam and Wicked Billionaire was no different. I loved the intense chemistry between Bailey and Declan, especially when Declan was trying so hard to stay away from her since she was his employee. All that tension was amazing and it had me dying to see what happened when it was finally too much for either of them to ignore. And it was so worth the wait!

As much as I loved their sexual tension and connection though, I actually think I liked the relationship parts even more. The ending few chapters where Bailey and Declan were in an almost normal relationship was super fun to read about and that was where I was smiling along with them the most. It showed the most changes in Declan and it was clear that he really did care about Bailey and it was the sweetest. Overall, this story is a big thumbs up from me and I definitely recommend it.

Kylo and Saint's story had me instantly sitting up and taking notice of how hot these men were. Their first scene was off the charts sexy and from there it only got steamier. It made it even more intriguing to see how willing they were to explore their new feelings for each other, especially Saint who had never been with a man before. Which I loved maybe a little too much. It was so fun to see that Saint was the one that was newly feeling an attraction to a man and yet he was the one that was pushing Kylo into giving him a chance. He knew he wanted Kylo and no matter what he was going to have him.

If you're a lover of M/M like i am then I definitely recommend this book. Or even if you're just looking to get into the genre for the first time I think this would be an amazing book for your first time. It is connected to Wreck Me Forever but can be read as a standalone in my opinion.



Excerpt

“Kylo,” he called. I looked to him as he walked back to where he’d left his phone. Then he had my eyes again. He put a knee to the bed, leaned over, and pressed his lips to my shoulder.
“Night,” he said, and looked up at me.
I cleared my thick throat.
He’d kissed my shoulder.
My skin.
“Yeah, night.” I nodded. He grinned, straightened, and walked from the room.
What the hell was that all about?
Why did he do that?
This was fucking weird. He made no sense. I scrubbed a hand over my face.

I will never get tired of the Boom! Talon gave me all the feels with his protectiveness and I loved reading about him trying to get Mia to give him a chance. Which also made me love Mia just as much since she didn't give in to him easily. She made him work for it and it made for a super interesting and fun story to read.

This book was captivating from the start and it was so easy to get sucked into Talon and Mia's story. Talon was amazing and even though he was definitely Alpha he wasn't pushy at all and instead he moved at Mia's pace. I loved seeing the slower pace of their relationship and seeing how they moved forward when things did start getting more serious. It had me rooting for them the entire time I was reading and I was so happy with how they ended up.

Overall, this book is definitely a recommended read and I do think it can be read as a standalone if you wanted to. There are obviously past characters mentioned but nothing spoiling their stories and it doesn't get confusing if you don't know these characters already.
