Surrender Melody Anne

SurrenderSurrender by Melody Anne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have been a fan of Melody's writing for a long time. But she really stepped it up a notch with surrender. Gideon and Christen move over because Rafe is new to town!

I love a tortured character and this is exactly what Rafe is having been scarred with a failed marriage no woman will ever get to his heart again, he doesn't want love he wants a mistress- a business agreement. He acts like a cold hearted jerk and makes no apology for it. However he gets in over his head with Ari she intrigues him and he wants her

Ari is down on her luck having dropped out of school and in need of a job to pay for her mother's mounting medical bills she's desperate but won't sell her soul to Rafe no matter how much she needs his money.

I loved these characters and when there together they are on fire! Wow... I read this book in one sitting, if they get over there own issues they would make an amazing couple!

She brings out the humane side of him the side he's long forgotten and he makes her more confident which is what they need! So excited for book two.

Addison Fox - Merger to Marriage

Merger to Marriage (Boardrooms & Billionaires, #2)Merger to Marriage by Addison Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thanks to netgalley for giving me the chance to review this title by Addison Fox. Merger to marriage is book 2 in the boardrooms and Billionaires series. While I enjoyed book 1 I liked book 2 a lot more, The McBride sisters are AWESOME the definition of sisters doing it for themselves!

Merger to marriage focuses on Mayson the youngest of the three siblings. While attending her older sisters wedding she meets a gorgeous stranger who seems very attracted to her.

Feeling a little rebellious and tired of labels Mayson acts on impulse and has a one night stand that has life changing consequences.

Holt is a successful business man who's worked hard to escape his past. He has no idea that the intelligent beauty he spent the night with is his best friends sister in law. When Mayson tells him she's pregnant he's worried he can no longer out run his past.

Sexy and charismatic people!! this was a great power couple I enjoyed reading about there growing relationship and heated bursts of passion. Like the first book I felt this story was a little rushed but it was a great fast read. I am also a great fan of cross over characters which this had. I'm very excited for book 3.

Hayson Manning Wife in name only

Wife in Name OnlyWife in Name Only by Hayson Manning
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Zoey is the owner of a very successful honeymoon resort, it's gained a lot of notice. Now a huge magazine wants to do an interview with Zoey about her own great romance, the only problem is she's been separated for over a year and now she's going to have to ask her husband for a favour of a life time.

Rory is a big deal in the business world and loves the LA life. He hasn't seen or spoken to his wife in over a year but now she needs his help and he needs the good publicity after a few cut throat deals he's picked up the nick name Ice Man...so he's going to fly to Zoey`s island for the magazine shoot but hopefully will leave with his wife.

I really enjoyed this little read it definitely had a mills and boom feel and you really could predict the ending, but the hopeless romantic in me liked it. I love a rekindled romance and both of the characters where great. There sexual Chemistry was awesome like many relationships life just got in the way for them, and it was fun to see them get to know each other again and evaluate their priorities.

I couldn't help but think of Mama mia with the island setting and Zoey being a big fan of ABBA. Great read for those summer days!

I am so excited to be a part of the Code Red blog tour!

My review:

Nicole is a woman sworn off men for life after a bad romance in college. She and her friends have a Code red system..What is code red?
Well after a drunken night code red was put in place. These girls could date any guy they wanted as long as the guy in question didn't offer risk to them (computer geeks, nerds, and men who live with there mom). After all who wants to suffer a broken heart again!

But Nicole is picked to work with the new 'suit' from New York on a top secret project which involves them sharing an office.. Josh is the hottest guy shes ever seen he practically makes her blood boil and gives B.O.B a run for his money lol. (He's a code red!)

Josh is a sweet heart there was nothing I didn't love about him, he knew Nicole had her issues but he wants her anyway. Stunningly beautiful, Caring and a real gentlemen the chemistry between the two of them is intoxicating!

The whole dynamic of this book is awesome between the relationship Nicole has with her girlfriends and the relationship with Josh this story is a winner.. Seriously funny, witty and incredibly sexy. I was entertained so much I laughed out loud many many times it was refreshing.

Snippet from this great read:

“Nicole. I’ve heard a lot about you. I’m looking forward to working with
you.”
“Me too,” I replied automatically. He released my hand and I tried not to
be sad about not touching him any more. I failed.
“I’ll see you in a bit,” he said before walking to Chris’s office and
knocking on the door. Suit was a perfect thing to call him because he was
born to wear one.

Christina Lauren Beautiful Stranger

Beautiful Stranger (Beautiful Bastard, #2)Beautiful Stranger by Christina Lauren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After falling in love with Beautiful bastard I ran to my local target store to get my hands on book 2 beautiful stranger.

This is another winner, while I did love book one more this was still another great read! This story is about Sara, best friend of Chloe Mills who we met briefly in BB. She's escaping her life in Chicago after a very bad and public break up.

First night in NY she meets Max Stella notorious play boy, who happens to friends with the BB himself Bennett Ryan. I loved the dynamics of the story and the cross over characters.

I enjoyed the fact Max was British, being British I always pay close attention to the terminology used. Honestly I couldn't find fault! I liked seeing this Man fall in love and try to convince a woman who was reluctant to open her heart again to take a chance on him.

Sara was a great female character she was down to earth and friendly, even though she was from a family of means she wasn't snobby or a glory hound, I found I could relate to her.

Max and Sara are a great power couple who I enjoyed getting to know. They where very charismatic, witty and sexy.

I can't wait for more from the epic duo that is Christina Lauren.

Erin McCarthy True

TrueTrue by Erin McCarthy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley for giving me the chance to review this book. I am loving the New Adult genre right now and this story didn't disappoint. If you enjoyed reading Beautiful disaster and Easy you'll really like this read.

Rory is a straight A student but her social skills are lacking, having been raised by her scientist father after her mothers death high school was tough. She closed herself off feeling little in common with her peers. But she's using college as a fresh start.. Live a little, make friends and at 20 she definetly wants to have a boyfriend.

Tyler is the school stud and bad boy with his tattoos, piercing and rocker tees. He's everything Rory feels she's not boys like him don't look at girls like her, but one night he comes to her rescue giving them the chance to get to know each other better and learns never to judge a book by its cover.

I'm in love with these characters on the surface they couldn't be more different but they had so many similarities once you got to know them. There love was tender and touching, like most girls her age Rory was very judgmental of herself but Tyler was always there to point out her positives.

In return she was there to offer him support when it came to his family circumstance that was so different to hers. She could of walked away but didn't..Tyler and his family firmly living on the wrong side of the tracks.

Tyler was so giving, loyal and a total victim of his environment it hurt to read. Caring for his younger siblings and drug addict mother..it touched me deeply to know Rory was there for him and wouldn't give up on him.

This book had so many lessons that were written wonderfully. Never judge a book by its cover, fight for what you believe in even if others doubt you and sometimes we can learn lessons and have relationships with those who seem completely different to you.

Impressive writing and I loved the alternative chapters between Tyler and Rory we where able to get a great insight into both of there mind sets.
