When Bex has to move across the states with her mom and step-dad, she knew life on the east coast would be hard. The climate change she can become accustomed to. NOTHING in her life could prepare her for Riverside Prep, or the group of students who seem to run the school.
Crayton Shaw is the leader, and the first time he sees the white blonde beauty, she wrecks more than just his most prized possession. She wrecks his mind and cracks the darkness inside his soul. While he tries his best to resist her light and is intent on destroying her spirit, can this "Little Ghost" show him how to love?
I'm still new to the bully romance world, but from the first page, I was hooked! I can't rave enough about this one! Crayton and Bex are so beautifully tragic. The darkness inside him perfectly complements the light inside her.
Though it's a slow burn, you never realize it. You are going to laugh, cry, and I promise you, there is a need to keep the ice water on hand to combat the HEAT! This is just the beginning, and I'm already salivating for the next book!...more

So when he has to do a favor for Willa HaNoel Keller doesn't mean to give off the recluse vibes. He just doesn't talk unless he has something to say.

Georgia's first impression leaves her stranded at the airport, and then she has to accept a ride from a complete stranger in an ancient green truck.

If that isn't enough, let's add in crashing ladies night, another rescue or 3. However, not all of Hickory Hills are as welcoming as the gang. Being a northern gal in a Southern town is a challenge all on its own.
Just wait til the beautiful Yankee finds out how much she cranks this Small Town Boy's tractor. If I had a man like Noel, I would be Very Happy. What he lacks in conversation skills he makes up for with his actions and his hands. I loved how he takes care of her, even when she is more than capable of doing it herself.
Darren Walker seems to have it all, but this man has no clue what the real world is like. Evangeline Bowen has been 'in the world,' she is a master atDarren Walker seems to have it all, but this man has no clue what the real world is like. Evangeline Bowen has been 'in the world,' she is a master at playing any roll. Darren and Evangeline meet under circumstances that would be normal for their respective professions, if not for a major twist. When the rules get broken, causing her to lose the only income she has, he offers her a deal of a lifetime. Marriage to him in the hopes of clearing up some deep family drama. Now, they just have to prove its real.

She pulls no punches, telling you exactly how she feels. These two are perfect for each other, even though neither one of them seems to realize it. Their push and pull is red carpet level spice.
This is the first book in a trilogy that will have you hooked on page 1. While I was slightly curious about the new turn of political scandal, I knew that if anyone could make me enjoy this trope, it would be Ms. Dombrowiak. Though it derives from what this author has written before, it still holds much of what she's known for. The steam, sass, strongly written characters, and heartbreak that have become her trademarks are fully present. As much as I hate cliffhangers, this one does its job and has me screaming for book 2!...more
How to describe Nash and Penny??? The calm in the eye of a hurricane? The balance of innocent and 'ruff around the edges?'
It took a second for me to reHow to describe Nash and Penny??? The calm in the eye of a hurricane? The balance of innocent and 'ruff around the edges?'
It took a second for me to remember Penny, then it clicked. She was introduced in 'Screwed Up.' The timid shy and terrified young lady has finally reached her breaking point with her overbearing parents. It's time to leave 'Penelope' behind, and let 'Penny' free.
He has been Haken's reclusive rumor for 7 years. Everyone knows of Nash, the owner of Timbered Forest Lodges, but the new tenant is determined to be the one who will break down his walls. Though he tries to fight it with all the tools he has, does he even stand a chance? Not if Rune, his four legged constant companion has his way.
The story of city girl meets country boy has been done so many different ways. This one is a step above them all! I haven't laughed so hard, nor want to stop for a cold shower so many times. In a word, these two are Perfect. I think this two tied with my love for Landon and Vanna.

Word of advice: If you've not read Kings ofI thought my heart couldn't hurt anymore after the KoK trilogy ripped it to shreds. I was sorely mistaken! Word of advice: If you've not read Kings of Killybegs, please go and do it NOW!
Beibhinn Devereux is such a force of nature. Living in her twin brother's shadow, knowing she will never have a seat in the syndicate of her own, has hardened her from an early age. When her father takes her on a trip to the Emerald Isle, she comes face to face with the boy who will one day own her heart and shatter it.
Cadden Connelly doesn't want anything to do with the Killybegs princess. All he wants from life is to party and be alone with his prized possessions, his books, and poetry, in the lighthouse he claims as his own. He is forced, just as she is, to sign a contract that will ensure the merger of their two families.
What he doesn’t count on is how something that is just a hobby to him will ensure that she will go from wanting to be his everything, to burning his world to the ground.
My heart has so much trouble with cliffhangers. This one might just be worse than the trilogies! I will not be OK until the second book is in my hands. Having to relive the best and worst moments through someone else's eyes and mind is always tough, but when it's a twin, the bond is multiplied 100 fold.
Both B and Cadden are beautiful hearts, forced to play parts they never wanted, and secretly finding real love for the first time, only to have it go up in a roaring flash and turn to ash. I know from experience there will be an HEA, but the journey the author takes you on with these characters gives new meaning to the phrase "EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!"...more

When it's revealed that she is to become my wife to save her reputation and her family from the media, this is my chance. To show her that while she might be my family’s rival, she's going to become my Queen.
Every time I read a book from this author I get to add another one to my list. All her characters have left me wanting more in the best way! The banter, the spice, and the sweet moments are always top notch. I am never left unsatisfied, except that I have to wait for the next book....more

There's only one stipulation, to receive it, she must be married. When her best friend offers the option of a marriage of convenience, it seems like it's the safest bet. He understands her, and there's no chance of her heart getting involved.
These two are so good together. I loved all the emotional feelings that I felt. Beckett will definitely turn up the heat and will make your heart melt. Cam goes through so much that all I wanted to do was reach through the pages and hold her. This book earns all the stars!...more

What these two have is the very definition of a meet cute. She backs her old Chevy truck right into the fender of his Range Rover. The sparks are instantaneous! And not in the hearts in the eyes kind of way!
When Paisley Dae shows up 10 minutes late for the job she's been dreaming of, imagine her shock to see its the same icy blue eyes glaring at her that she just met in the parking lot earlier. The rude, obnoxious, and deadly handsome man who hires her to help teach his daughter about taking care of her new horse.
Caleb Greyson has been through hellfire and now his only concern is the well-being of the only family he has left. Work is going to be very difficult with this green eyed, reckless, white blonde beauty who tempts him like nothing else. She has no clue about the skeletons he hides, but she's not going down without a fight.
It's light vs darkness. The 'Reckless Angel' vs the 'Fallen,' and the beautiful princess who will somehow show them both that they are tasked with the same thing... protecting her.
I absolutely devoured this one. The way this author writes is poetry in motion and the intensity of the passion and building of a new world is beautiful. I was rolling, swearing, sweating and crying with every scene.
I’m convinced that each child character she rights is my new favorite. Evie is sooo adorable and will absolutely melt the hardest reader heart in the same way she melts the adults. Living in the Time River Era and don't want to leave!!!

Miri is such a strong and confident character that will do whatever it takes for her family. Her dream is to play professionally, but she must resist the temptation of the man who will become her boss.
Gabe Rivers was born with a silver spoon. While the world sees the billionaire playboy, his softer, human side is reserved for one person. The only thing is, she's determined to keep it professional.
While some parts dragged a little bit for me, overall, it is very sweet and steamy. There’s a good balance between the sport and romance. I recommend it and am loving that an author is giving women their shot in the world of sports romance!...more
Victoria Davison is in such a pickle. While she is one of the top realtors in New York, she has been a**spoiler alert** Wow! This was such a hot read!
Victoria Davison is in such a pickle. While she is one of the top realtors in New York, she has been a great disappointment to her family by choosing to abandon their dreams and chase her own. To receive the remainder of her trust that her grandfather set up for her, she has to be married before her thirty-second birthday. Her mother is demanding she marry her ex, who she hasn't seen or talked to in six years.
While out walking with her friend, they come across her favorite band preforming a free concert. When Ruin preforms one of their hit songs, she locks eyes with the lead singer, Grayson Pierce.
His band is on top of the world, then the record company gives them ultimatums to clean up their act or lose their contracts. Grayson must clean up his image and keep his assets off social media. His manager suggests that he show the world by finding someone to appear as his girlfriend. Shouldn't be a problem, except his thoughts are consumed by the green eyed woman who captured his stare at a short concert they had performed for the fans.
He only needs the world to believe that she's his girlfriend. She needs to convince her family that the engagement isn't a sham. Can these two stubborn individuals who are commitment-phobic really sell their fake relationship, or will it become real?
I love when one book can suck me into a series and leave me wanting more! Excellent first read for this author. I loved their banter. The heat takes a little bit to get to, but the author cranks the flame to HIGH! Five stars!...more
Would you rather have a snazzy man in a suit, or a grumpy alpha in flannel? How about both? Pascal Gagnon is just as slick in the office as he is with Would you rather have a snazzy man in a suit, or a grumpy alpha in flannel? How about both? Pascal Gagnon is just as slick in the office as he is with an axe!
Parker may have been the one to get him fired, but she's the only one with the brains and guts to help the Gagnon's figure out what happened to their father. She has her doubts about the town believing she is Lovewell's resident hermit's girlfriend though. Small towns are always curious to a fault and this could be her biggest case yet.
Pascal Gagnon is a control freak of epic proportion. He likes everything in its place and when he is forced to live with a hurricane of a woman, who lives up to the description, he can barely keep it together. He will do it though for the sake of his family, and maybe realize she's just what he needs.
This may be my favorite book of the Lovewell Lumberjacks. I loved the banter and watching these two stubborn individuals pick at each other was hilarious! And man does the author turn up the heat enough to melt a blizzard! Definitely a page turner and worth every star!...more

Adam is the eldeWhile I had some trepidation going in with this one, I think this might be this author's best series. Guaranteed to have you in kinks!
Adam is the eldest son of Austin’s most prominent preacher. When he follows up on an address he found in his dad's office, nothing could have prepared him for what awaited beyond the doors of Pink.
Nor did he know that the mysteriously beautiful creature who had enjoyed breakfast with him was part owner of the club. Miss Sage Astor is a work of art. With pink hair, tattoos and piercings, she was his exact opposite.
Someone who was supposed to be a pillar of the community shouldn't get away with the secrets hiding in his closet. They decide to devise a plan that will not only drive her now ex out of business, but destroy his father’s reputation. Adam has always believed that he was a righteous man, and Sage’s plan goes directly against everything he believes. She's going to show him that sometimes giving in, doesn't have to be a sin.
When I say that this book will turn you on your head, I don't even have the words. You just have to read it. Every word is gold, and the sweet taste of freedom from sheding all Adam knows to form his own opinions will leave you breathless and feel everything. Every star earned and then some!...more

Lake Kennedy is the baddest and best at what she does. Being a female CFO comes have its highs and lows. She was just going in to reminisce. Listen to some music, enjoy a drink, then head home to her daughter.
What she didn't plan on was being followed out by the hot young guitarist, and be on the receiving end of the best kiss of her life in a rainstorm. Nor did she intend to follow him to his apartment, or have him rock her world. Imagine her shock when she finds out 2 weeks later at her sister's wedding that he's about to become her in-law.
Adrian Corvin has settled with his life. He enjoys playing at the bar with his band mates, working for his father's flooring company during the day. There’s not much else he wants in life. Then he sees the tall, dark haired, beauty and decides that he has to have her.
When he sees her again at his sister's wedding, he's even more adamant that one night isn't enough for him. He wears her down, and she agrees to no strings attached fun. Falling for each other is out of the question, but oh the lies he tells her have her believe that maybe not all men are the love 'em and leave 'em type.
Paula Dombrowiak knows how to pull you in and not only grip your heart strings but also keep it racing. This has moved up to one of my top five books of the year. I have not read a male character yet by this author that I haven't fallen head over heels for, and Adrian is no expectation! Persistent men with dirty mouths are my weakness. The way Adrian wears Lake down, the dirty words and his swoon factor is in the stratosphere. This book definitely doesn't lack for spicy scenes. I won't ever be able to look at a hotel pool, or a public bathroom the same way....more

Ryder and DI'd wait forever for Ryder Nash!
This is the second book in the Time River series. I have one thing to say, Ryder is so dark and beautiful!
Ryder and Dakota are as close as friends can be, have been forever. They know when the other is present before they enter a room. As they grow, that feeling turns into more, but life and warnings get in the way of it becoming something real.
The secrets and suspense throughout will have you never wanting to put it down. As much as I loved the main characters, there was one particular person who had me hooked from his first appearance. Little Kayden, "K-Bear," the Tiny Tornado himself! This toddler is one for my 'favorite kids' list! Everything about him is ADORABLE!
The way Ryder sacrifices everything for love made my heart stutter. It stopped and started so many times. This author really knows how to keep you on your seat, and how to crank the heat. Dakota is such a fierce woman who never gives up. She will always fight for love. Her recipes need their own book! I wanted to taste every dish!
Storm has suffered through more than any person should have to in several lifetimes. He finally has his sister back, but he's different Oh my STORM!!!
Storm has suffered through more than any person should have to in several lifetimes. He finally has his sister back, but he's different now. Circumstances have changed everything, and some not for the good. The only other female that he will do anything for is his daughter. There's no way anyone else would want him.
Jasmine has been taking care of the littlest Souls while their mama's are busy. That's not the only reason she's taken on the job though. She needs to find out the truth about what happened to her sister. She knows who has the answers and she's determined to stay with the Souls to uncover the mystery.
The pull is so strong between the man who had to grow up fast and the woman who was sheltered from the horrors of the world. Will she be able to convince him that his soul isn't as ruined as he believes, or will the darkness that revolves around him snuff out her light?
This almost tops the twins' story as one of my faves. The raw emotions that it inflicted had me laughing hysterically and choking back tears. The tension couldn't be cut with a chainsaw. It is a beautiful dark dance between them. Another 10 star read!...more

Caleb and Isla are worlds apart. She has the world in the palm of her hand. He carries around a backpack he's had since junior high. This is what it looks like from the outside.
Then fate intervenes. The sparks begin to fly, and the bookshelves of the library see things that would literally set the pages on fire. Until the real world returns.
They say things are never what they seem. This book will take this phrase to the extreme. These two characters ride a very real-world roller-coaster.
Just when you think things are going well for them, the author throws another curveball into their lives. It will keep you on your toes, keep your heart and other areas racing, and not wanting to put it down til the last page. I think this is her best work yet, and I can't wait for the next one!...more
