Southern Texas heats up when four roughneck billionaires set their sights on love in the new series from New York Times bestselling author Jessica Clare.

Boone Price and his brothers know oil; at least, the dirty, backbreaking side of working an oil rig. But when their scrubby, worthless hunting land turns out to be sitting on top of one of the biggest oil wells in North America, they go from the rig to the boardroom and end up billionaires practically overnight.

Now with enough money to do whatever he wants, Boone is developing a taste for fine things. And the finest thing he’s ever seen is Ivy Smithfield, local realtor. Boone’s determined to win her affection and show the world that he’s more than just a dirty fool with a bit of money. Ivy’s classy and beautiful – she’ll make the perfect trophy wife. The fact that she’s sexy and funny is just a bonus.

There’s one tiny problem – Ivy’s as dirt poor as Boone was. Her carefully crafted veneer of luxury? All an act to promote her business. What’s Boone going to do when he finds out the woman he’s falling for is, well, in his league?

The idea of this book was right up my alley, I mean, who doesn’t love a dirty talker amiright? I loved Boone at first, he was unapologetic and brash and knew how to use dirty words to his advantage. He was a roughneck through and through and just because he happened to have money, and I mean M O N E Y, didn’t mean he was changing for anyone. You can take the roughneck off of the rig…..Ivy is the total opposite of Boone, classy and groomed and rich…..or so she leads everyone to believe, including Boone, who only wanted her because he thought she was classy when he saw her(on a flier, none the less). But then, Boone started getting dumb. Like money is the answer to everything dumb.

“Come away with me.”-Him

“No, I can’t I have clients.”-Her

“I’ll buy them a car if they reschedule.”-Him

“Okay.”-Her

I’m paraphrasing like crazy here, but you get the idea.

I didn’t really connect with Ivy like I thought I would. She went back and forth to staying professional and getting involved with him, who according to him, he was going to marry. But one thing, ONE thing happened and she was lost.

With all of that being said I really did enjoy the story line and writing style. The chemistry with the two were palpable on the page and the tension of what will happen when he finds out is what really saved this read for me.

I will keep my eyes peeled for the other brothers stories, because there are a few that seem waaaay more than meets the eye there.

Commander in Chief by Katy Evans
Series: White House #2
Publication Date: January 5th, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis:

The sizzling second installment of the White House series, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans.

We fell in love during the campaign.

The stakes were high.

Reputations could have been ruined.

Scandal hovered over us like a cloud.

Now the man I love is the President of the United States of America.

And its not my vote he is after.

He wants it all.

My heart. My body. My soul.

He wants me by his side.

In the White House.

Normalcy will be gone from my life, privacy forgotten.

I am only twenty three. I just wanted to play a part in history. But it seems like history wasn’t done with me. The part where I lost my heart to Matthew Hamilton? It was only the beginning…

Excerpt:

He looks devilishly handsome.

His hair is combed back and oh, how I love every chiseled inch of his face. He’s the first to move, prying his hands from his pockets, eyes flaring, inhaling visibly—his inhale stretching the fabric of that black tux.

Disbelief and a punch of longing to have all of this man, his love and his name and his babies, hits me as he approaches. I’m gazing at him walk to me down the hall of the White House residence, both of us ready to attend a social dinner. My first public event with him.

I need a moment, or a thousand moments, to adjust to this new role.

Matt continues advancing—with every step his eyes drinking me in, his lips curling in a seductive, appreciative smile.

“You ready?” He stretches out his hand.

I nod and look at that hand—the hand I’ve held so many times, and that held me. I slide my fingers down the length of his, and he grips them and leads me down the staircase with him.

From the USA Today bestselling author of Rookie Move comes the second novel in the series that’s hot enough to melt the ice.
 
He’s a fighter in the rink, but he’s about to learn that playing nice can help you score…
 
As team captain and enforcer, Patrick O’Doul puts the bruise in the Brooklyn Bruisers. But after years of hard hits, O’Doul is feeling the burn, both physically and mentally. He conceals his pain from his coach and trainers, but when his chronic hip injury becomes too obvious to ignore, they send him for sessions with the team’s massage therapist.

After breaking up with her long-term boyfriend, Ari Bettini is in need of peace of mind. For now, she’s decided to focus on her work: rehabilitating the Bruisers’ MVP. O’Doul is easy on the eyes, but his reaction to her touch is ice cold. Ari is determined to help O’Doul heal, but as the tension between them turns red hot, they both learn that a little TLC does the body good…

I love a great hockey book and when it’s a series that’s even better because you see the growth of all the characters! Patrick is Mr. Team captain and he is used to being the enforcer! Ari is the massage/yoga instructor and she rolls out all of their kinks! Patrick is the quiet brooding type and Ari brings out a softer side in him! I was excited to see if their romance would score a goal or would Ari’s ex body check Patrick? This book had everything I love in a good sports book, entertaining, romance, sweet, and keeps you reading! The romance  slowly simmers to boiling point! Trust me you won’t be disappointed! Cannot wait for the next book in the series!

The anticipated conclusion of The Checkmate Duet from a secret duo of bestselling authors! Checkmate: This is Love is an enemies to lovers romance that will have you crying with laughter one moment and screaming in frustration the next… but you’ll be begging to play the game with The King. 
Game on.

***
Viola Fisher is the epitome of perfection.
She despises my one-night stands and mocks my less-than-classy habits.
She’s smart, beautiful, and too good to be true.
And I want her.
If she were anyone else, I’d have made my move years ago, but considering she’s my best friend’s little sister, she’s always been off-limits. Not to mention how much she loathes my very existence.
Hating me is her religion, but needing her is mine. Her sexy curves and filthy smart mouth make me want her even more, and I’m more determined than ever to change her mind.
I’ll prove I’m done playing games.
But until then, we’ll continue to play by her rules.
Viola Fisher may have won the battle, but the war isn’t over yet.
Checkmate, princess.

Part two starts off right where part one left off and MAN!!! My main question is how is what could the psychotic ex to his best friend and Violas brother have to do with Travis? With recovery on the horizon Travis and Viola try and make their relationship work, but then her trust starts to come in question with Travis. Is Travis ready for a serious relationship or will he forever be a womanizer? I love them both together and Travis is a true closet romantic lol! You will be cheering them both on as I was for them to finally get it together and just GET TOGETHER! This was a great conclusion to their story and I can’t wait for Drew and Courtney story!

Pick up part one of the series

In the new Play-By-Play novel by the New York Times bestselling author of Unexpected Rush, a football player who knows how to win on the field needs a better game plan for his love life.

A defensive end for the San Francisco Sabers, Flynn Cassidy is used to being in the spotlight—he just doesn’t enjoy it. But if getting in front of the cameras will help his new restaurant succeed, he’s willing. Now if he could just meet a woman who loved him and not his fame…

After her divorce, Amelia Lawrence is thrilled to start over as head chef at Ninety-Two. It’s just the opportunity she needs to heat up her career—if only she wasn’t wildly attracted to her sexy new boss. Their chemistry might be sizzling hot, but Amelia has no intention of being burned again.

Flynn can’t get enough of Amelia, and Amelia loves every second she spends with the tough yet tender Flynn. But trust is a hard-fought battle for both. Breaking the rules of contact and surrendering to their passion was the easy part. Are they willing to risk their hearts to win at the game of love?

This is a great semi sports romance, I say semi because while there was sports it’s not enough to be a ‘sports’ romance. Flynn is a football star on Sunday’s and then a hot restaurant owner on the other days of the week, living life and entertaining the ladies. This is all Flynn is thinking about until his eyes are opened by the new not chef of his restaurant! Enter Amelia! Once he has his sights set on her, its game over but Amelia is thinking the attraction they have for each other is  a recipe for disaster. Great warm romance !  This is a wonderful afternoon read and it won’t disappoint!

Womanizer by Katy Evans

Release Date: December 5th, 2016
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Katy Evans comes a brand new contemporary romance. WOMANIZER is a full length standalone, and no other books in the series need to be read.

You’ve seen the headlines: Womanizing billionaire player! Watch out! Stay away!

We were just two strangers. Facing a forbidden attraction, a chemical connection. Neither of us expected or wanted it to amount to more.

But I had never been drawn to a guy the way I was drawn to this one: my brother’s best friend, and CEO of the company where I interned.

Even knowing I should stay away, I proved to be too human, after all.

The chemistry was amazing.

The laughs were incredible.

I opened up to him in more ways than I’d opened up to anyone before.

But sex was as far as I’d go.

Just sex because he was too irresistible.

Just sex because I wouldn’t be falling for him.

Just sex because I’d leave in three months, and I’d like for my brother not to kill me, and for nobody to find out he was my wicked little secret.

He wasn’t the One.

He was just a womanizer.

But for a time, he would be mine.

First off, I cannot praise Katy MORE for this and past, present and future work. I always feel so much when reading one of her books, whether it be grief, love, compassion, or just plain sexy, If she wants you to feel it, you feel it!

Having been familiar with the world I was so pumped for Callen(the last man standing) and who would be the women to claim him. I’m absolutely gaga over Callen!!

First, let me say I quite smoking over 5 years ago but man I wanted to light up, this story will make you want to light up and share a cig with your crush even if neither of you smoke! The way Katy wrote Callen and Olivia’s first meeting around sharing a cigarette was both sexy and mysterious and threw me back to the days where If I liked someone who smoked, sharing a cig with them was the highest form of flirting and she captured it so well.

Olivia is as green to the world and men like Callen as they come, bright eyes and a bit of naivety at times, but she is Tahoe’s sister, and works for Callen and that causes some issues to arise, but not the ones that people may think. Olivia has a plan for life, but when she meets the sexy hot smoker guy, her plans are….

Thier relationship spanned over time, I say this all the time about Katy’s work because she makes you fall in love with the Hero as much if not at the same time as the Heroin every time and this was no exception. Plus Callen is just plain sexy, from his smoking to his words.

“I’m looking foward to tasting you this time, Livvy, sucking that **ssy of yours for a long, hard while.”

Umm, holy hell!

This book, like Callan Carmichael is just sexy!

Wonderful romance and Tobin, the sexy cowboy that he is will have you wanting to move out to the country!  I am not an avid fan of cowboy romances!

Welcome to Hartwell, a quiet seaside escape where uncovering old secrets could lead one woman to discover the meaning of a love that lasts…

While Doctor Jessica Huntington engages with the inmates at the women’s correctional facility where she works, she’s always careful to avoid emotional attachments in her personal life. Loss and betrayal taught her that lesson long ago. But when she comes across a set of old love letters in the prison’s library and visits the picturesque town of Hartwell to deliver them to their intended recipient, she finds herself unable to resist the town’s charm—and her attraction to the sexy owner of a local bar proves equally hard to deny.

Since his divorce from his unfaithful ex-wife, Cooper Lawson has focused on what really matters: his family and the boardwalk pub they’ve owned for generations. But the first time Jessica steps into his bar, Cooper is beyond tempted to risk his heart on her. Yet as their attraction grows hotter and Jessica remains stubbornly closed off, he begins to realize it will take more than just passion to convince her there’s only one real thing in life worth fighting for….

I really enjoyed this book! I have other books by Samantha Young that were a hit for me so this should have not come as a surprise that I loved this one too!

I loved the mystery and behind Jessica and her family as well as her choice of work and the ease of Copper even though he was dealing with past issues(ex-wife) as well.

The small little town of Heartwell made me want to go seek it out and live there! I loved all the characters int is (with he exception of a few)( and all the mystery behind some of the characters. Everyone was was well developed weather it be a side character or a main one and the chemistry between Coop and Jessica? outstanding(pun for those who read the book intended).

I will def be re-reading this one and hope that this is not a stand alone! I am obsessed with this town and the people in it and want to know more!

Are you just going to stand there and watch?
 
Eleanor Briggs just can’t help herself. The sight of the man in the high-rise across the street is driving her wild. She longs to feel his touch up close and personal. To win him over, she’ll need to shake off her wallflower sensibilities and become the seductress she never imagined she could be. The only trouble will be finding the perfect way to meet him…
 
Or are you going to join in?
 
Sex is easy for millionaire entrepreneur Trey Riordan. Finding something of substance, however, seems impossible. That is until a simple night of reading at a local coffee shop becomes something far steamier when a beautiful brunette comes by and leaves a note telling him to look out his bedroom window at eleven o’clock. But when the time comes, neither of them will be truly ready for what follows…

The premise of the book sounded exciting and a wicked, but once I read it, it felt off to me.  From the beginning I was a little lost and really did not enjoy the start of the book. I felt that it really did not have depth to start between the characters.I did like the hole peeping neighbor thing at first, but then it kinda bordered on stalkerish. Once the H and h meet the chemistry between the two is a bit dry and it seemed like the plot was all over the place, or I just didn’t get it.. I will say that the sexual scenes between the H&h are very hot! The story lost me along the way but towards the end I did enjoy them together but by then I was already at the end of the book. It did not hold my interest  but I have enjoyed other books by this author this one just fell flat for me.

I’ve long been a fan of Katy’s, from Real to Ladies Man and I’ve loved them all. Mr. President is no different. I was worried that would be a political romance with a bunch of words and terms id have to look up, but after reading the authors not,  my worry was at ease.  I won’t bore you with what you can read room the blurp and just dive right in.

I

loved

It.

Simply loved it!

 You ever read a book that was just plain sexy? not the characters(which he is) but the story is just sexy, this is that book for me and I don’t mean sex, there’s that, but this book wrapped me up into a world full of stolen moments, touches and steamy passion and it left one word on my brain…sexy. Even the cover is sexy!!

I was pulled in from the very first line, until the last. Katy has this way with writing characters that grab you, make you feel what they are feeling and take you on whatever rollercoaster ride they are on too. 

And man does she know how to write a charismatic male in a suite. Pretty sure that’s her specialty. 

“…..a single independent man can’t effectively run the country. I have a wife, and her name is the United States of America.”

I especially like the political innuendos she referenced:

“Every person that I know, every person conscious of themselves and their potentials…all want to make an impact, a contribution, to work on something that matters to us.”

I could go on and on with fabulous quotes and sexy one liners but bottom line is this book is such a win for me i’m giving it my covetous 6 star rating!

Way to go Katy as usual you rocked this one!
