FIVE WAYS TO FALL



Synopsis:

Sometimes you can’t change—and sometimes you just don’t want to. Discover Ben’s side of the story in this fourth novel by the beloved, top-selling indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths,One Tiny Lie, and Four Seconds to Lose.Purple-haired, sharp-tongued Reese MacKay knows all about making the wrong choice; she’s made plenty of them in her twenty-odd-years. So when her impulsive, short-lived marriage ends in heartbreak, she decides it’s time for a change. She moves to Miami with the intention of hitting reset on her irresponsible life, and she does quite well…aside from an epically humiliating one-night stand in Cancun with a hot blond bouncer named Ben. Thank God she can get on a plane and leave that mistake behind her.Football scholarship and frat parties with hot chicks?

Part of charmer Ben Morris’s plan. Blown knee that kills any hope of a professional football career? So not part of the plan. Luckily Ben has brains to go with his knockout looks and magnetism. After three long years of balancing law school with his job as a bouncer at Penny’s Palace, he’s ready to lead a more mature life—until his first day of work, when he finds himself in the office of that crazy, hot chick he met in Cancun. The one he hasn’t stopped thinking about.If Ben truly were a smart guy, he’d stay clear of Reese. She’s the boss’s stepdaughter and it’s been made very clear that office romances are grounds for dismissal. Plus, rumor has it she’s trouble. The only problem is, he likes trouble, especially when it’s so good-looking…

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Reese is turning over a new leaf and has started working at her stepdads law firm. When Ben starts work, will they both overcome their commitement issues and fall for each other?

I liked Reese. She was sarcastic and blunt and kind of a bitch. Although I felt her fixation with her ex dragged on a bit. Ben was kind of a manwhore and it was a little offputting to read some parts. Other than that I liked how these two grew to become friends/co-workers to lovers.

The story captured my attention but by halfway I started to lose a little interest with Reese's ex drama. Overall if you are looking for great banter, YA/NA with great characters I would give this a go.

Her Master's Courtesan by Lily White
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


3 stars




Aiden captures women, breaks them down and moulds them into a courtesan to sell off. What will happen when his new project, Rebecca tries to change things around?

I can hardly blame the book, I wanted twisted, original, shocking and it delivered just that. But a lot of the situations made me uncomfortable. Aiden had no redeeming qualities whatsoever and IMO I found it strange that Rebecca was enjoying it so much.

This is dark erotica so there was plenty of sex scenes with some dark moments. It was hard to put down, it wasnt like anything Ive read before but I cant say I liked it. I have no clue how to rate this so I left it at 3 stars.

Dirty Angels by Karina Halle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



4 stars



Luisa is finding a way to escape her ugly marriage to a major Mexican cartal, Salvador. But what happens when she escapes him to fall into the hands of another cartal rival?

Javi's back! I loved his sense of humour. I didnt quite like how he was with Luisa, she really was his weakness and his softer side wasnt a side I particularly enjoyed. Had I not read the Artist trilogy I probably wouldnt have understood him. Luisa though, considering what she went through, fab heroine!

The story failed to reach 5 stars because I felt like it could have been darker. Also, as much as I love Javi the story didnt quite grab my full attention until the last third of the book. Overall this was a dark sexy romance, and there was plenty of violence. My Javi ♥

Thanks for the BR Ada, Ilze and Jeanne x

Unbeautifully by Madeline Sheehan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



5 stars




Ripper suffered a horrific experience leaving him scarred. Despite this he manages to find some beauty within the ugly in the form of Danny, aka the Presidents daughter.

Oh boy. This book pushed all my boundaries. It had a lot of storylines I usually dont like in a book but found it acceptable in the world of bikers. I love Ripper, this beautiful broken man. The book was engaging from start to end.

Overall I found this not as harsh as book 1 but it tugged at my heart, it was intense even with a few chuckles inbetween. Was there any part of the book that bored me? No and thats why it deserves the 5 star.

Flat-Out Celeste by Jessica Park
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


3 stars




Celeste is a social outcast at school and now preparing to go to college. Justin is a student liasion hoping to persuade her to choose his college. They develop a friendship, but would her insecurities get in the way of love?

Maybe I wasnt in the YA mood but I found myself a bit bored. I wasnt happy with Matt&Julie's situation. I thought the best part of the whole book was Matt&Julie's scene at the end. I dont have much to say about Celeste&Justin, I guess that pretty much sums up how I feel about them.

I think if you are in the mood for first love low drama type with a few cute moments, I would recommend this. It didnt quite reach higher ratings but I think lots of readers will enjoy this one.

Falling for the Groomsman by Diane Alberts
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars




Tyler popped Christine's cherry 8 years ago and left. Now reunited at his sisters wedding, he wants her back. Can he undo his mistake and make her fall for him?

Christine was one of those heroines still bitter from the past and plays hard to get. Although it was a bit frustrasting to read I thought her reasons were justified. Tyler deserved to sweat it out and their back and forth was fun at times.

This was a fun start to the series. I would recommend if you like short and sexy romance. This book was actually average and I couldnt decide between 3 and 4 stars but when the ending left me with an awwww, it sealed a 4 stars.

Baiting The Maid Of Honor by Tessa Bailey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 stars




Reed and Julie share an instant atraction at their friends wedding. Both with a little baggage, would they end up being more than a temporary fling?

Now who doesnt like a dirty talking tattooed hero? Loved Reed! Tessa Bailey writes some scorching sexual tension and hot sex scenes. There was great banter either with the girls or the boys or the couple. Im beginning to think our little Kady (Bride to be) is a sneaky matchmaker. Epilogue= Fat grin= Perfect!!!

I love a quick sexy book and this one delivered. I think you can pick up any of these books without getting lost but you will miss out on the little detail on how the couples cross over. Loved it!

Seducing The Bridesmaid by Katee Robert
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 stars




Regan wants a successful man with the same goals as her to bring stability to her life. One night with no strings attached. Thats all it was suppose to be with Brock. He wasnt suppose to fit in her life or can he?

Brock was maybe not my type of hero, he felt a bit needy to me. My main issue was Regan's treatment towards poor Brock who spend his life in his brothers shadow. They were good together though and there was some nicely done scenes.

This was short steamy low angst low drama. It was still a good addition to the series but to me it was just okay. I just didnt really like the main characters to rate it higher.

Best Man With Benefits by Samanthe Beck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars




Best man Logan cant help but be attracted to the off limits younger sister of the Groom to be, Sophie. But can he break her out of her shell and prove she is beautiful on the inside and out?

Shy introvert heroines are not normally my favourite type of heroines but Sophie was a cute little thing. Although her insecurities were a bit frustrating at times. Logan was amazing and I loved the confidence he brought out of her. Their ending was cheesy though and a bit cringe-worthy.

This was predictable from the beginning to the very end but I enjoyed their story. I thought it was a little more angst than previous books that could have been avoided. A great wrap up for the gang.

Dare to Resist by Laura Kaye
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars




Kady and Colton. Brothers best friend story. Now both stuck in a hotel when the monsoon hits, will they be able to resist each other?

These two were really cute together. I loved their bickering in the first half. My issue with this novella was Colton, I wasnt entirely convinced of him. It was like he had a split personality. Also the cheese at the end was a bit much for my taste but overall I enjoyed it.

If you loved Laura Kaye'sHeart in Darkness, I think you will enjoy this one. It was short no drama no angst just two people in a love/hate relationship finally giving in to their attraction.

Until Nico by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars




When Nico returns a missing phone to sweet Sophie, he wasnt expecting to fall fast and hard for her. But would he be able to convince Sophie he is the man for her?

I dont normally like insta love. Nor do I like innocent heroines. But in this case, I really liked Sophie. Nico was just too adorable, loved him!!! The end took a little of my enjoyment towards the book away.

There was a few face grinning heart flutter moments. I would definitely pick this up to reread if Im in the mood for light and fluffy with a bit of drama. Great end to the series, it looks like spinoffs are in the near future?!

Restoring Jordan by Elizabeth Finn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 stars




Adeline and Jordan have a one night stand which resulted in Adeline giving up her virginity. But when Adeline turns up at his workplace as an intern, will they be able to resist each other?

Like Finn's other books I found it easy to get into. I find with her books there seems to lack dialogue but with the dual POV you can understand and connect with both characters. Loved Jordan!!!

I really enjoy these type books: short light and steamy standalone with a bit of angst. Overall I think I sort of liked it but not really enough to give it 4 stars. X

Fall from India Place by Samantha Young
My rating: 2 of 5 stars


2 stars




After years apart Hannah has reunited with her first love Marco. But with both of them holding back secrets, will they survive a second chance romance?

I didnt like Marco. Hannah was frustrasting, dragging out her secret and then her mixed signals. I wasnt getting their connection. The double twists did not surprise me one bit and I really disliked Marcos twist. I was actually skipping some sex scenes. I could go on with what didnt work but Id rather not.

I think if you are a fan of this author and series I would still encourage you to check out other reviews. One thing I did like was sweet Cole all grown up. This book was just not to my liking, doesnt mean it wont suit other readers.


Pre-release

hmmmm
Hannah's second chance romance with a "secret". We all know what that is codename for. I hope I can be proved wrong or at least it will have a good spin to it x

Reasonable Doubt: Volume 2 by Whitney Gracia Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 stars




After that cliffy from book 1, I needed to know how things will work out for Andrew and Aubrey.

I still love Andrew. Aubrey was maybe a bit clingy. I liked it but I still dont feel like we were any closer to knowing Andrew any better (except the end) and it needed to be longer.

Sexy, great couple, love the emails. Now the wait is on the the last book. I wonder how long the wait is going to be this time?!
