SexyBeast is the evolution of a boy to a freaking sexy AF KING! Ricky handles his business and does not second guess himself or his decisions. We've seen him be Blue's protector from the beginning but now he's got so much more to live for. And boy is he one #sexyking #sexybeast #sexydaddy.
I love that he is always in protective mode but is never afraid to show the ones he loves his softer side. It started with Blue and now Gabbi
I absolutely adore Chloe. She is one of the funnest characters. She has a heart of gold but just needs that extra push to put herself out there.
Tis the Reason for the Season is the perfect little sneak peak into the Year of Chloe. We get to see what happened to spur her into finally taking the leap and putting herself out in the dating world.
Damn that was

I'm from the Louisiana and food is our love language so I knew before I started Shut Up and Kiss Me that I would absolutely adore Emerson & Nolan. I mean what's better than food & sex?!
Shut Up and Kiss Me is like a big ol' Louisiana crawfish boil on a Saturday night! It's filled with good food, good friends and family and just the right amount of spice;) mmm mmm mmm ça c'est bon!
Fave quotes:
“And you? Well, hello there, Clark Kent,” Bette says to Nolan. Ever the gentleman, he takes her hand and kisses the knuckles. “Pleased to meet you. If you need anyone to leap a tall building in a single bound, I'm your man.” Bette chuckles, warm and exuberant. “And I do believe I've died and gone to I've-been-charmed heaven.”—-y'all Dot & Bette are the cutest old ladies! Friendship goals for sure!!
I won't focus on my overactive imagination that wants to straddle Nolan and ride him cowboy. Ride him cowgirl. Ride him till the cows come home.—-like I said just the right amount of spice
Taste was an absolutely delicious read filled with sweet heat & spice;) Gianni Lupo knows his was around a kitchen & a woman's pleasure. After they are snowed in & enjoying blizzard bangs {he definitely earned his nickname} he soon realizes he needs to up his wooing game to win over Ellie's heart.
Fave quotes:
“I want to show her I'll be a good father.” “Be a good man first,” said my dad. “The rest will follow.”—I love this scene with Gianni & his dad. I live his growth from restless boy to a man who will do anything for his family
Harleigh & Nix have been through so much. He's always been here protector & she has always been his solace...until that night. Now they are strangers separated by a reservoir and hate.
A couple of chance meet ups and a frantic phone call lead them back to each other. But can their feelings for each other be enough??
Fave quotes:
It was a strange place to be, wanting so much more for my future, but being shackled to my life in The Row.—my heart breaks for Nix. He's got such a good & loyal heart. I hope he figures it out :)
Nix was my home, he always had been.—-when you find that person you hold on with both hands ;)
Helena has created this awesome Pucked universe that is filled with love, laughter & life (not always pretty but they deal together
‘My life with Jude is a dirty fairy tale.'—-best way to describe TJ & Jude's “fake” to real romance. 10 months have passed & cooler heads definitely prevail. They are more mature & know exactly what they need to do this go ‘round.
TJ is more open & honest with Jude about everything before. He is so thoughtful about how and when to tell his friends & family (though they did get scooped). I absolutely love their private IG account & it is such a sweet gesture.
Jude is just such a sweet & caring person. His love for his friends is so honest & true. Gah! And his no holding back this time with TJ is refreshing. A BS free relationship
I need more of these besties to more asap!! I can't wait to see where Harleigh & Nix's story takes them
I love when my favorite authors collaborate with new to me authors especially when we get to see some of my favorite characters...hey there Grant
Fired up is the first of the Bayside Heroes series that I have read and I need the rest of the gang asap!!
After years of being in a miserable relationship Asher is finally free! Yes y'all Sheena is a grade A c*nt
I Danté & Frankie's story and was very curious about the girl who would bring Marco to his knees!! Who knew that it would be the total opposite to him. He's a super flirty, loves the ladies type of guy and she is a naive girl who loves Jane Austen
Oh my gosh! I am mortified for poor Cooper! Bless his sweet parents for wanting to be his wingmen and try to find him a nice girl. I have been non-stop laughing
This steamy collection is the best holiday treat!! It has some of my favorite (and some we love to hate
This was outside my usual genre but I'm so glad I read it. Decimate will devil keep you captivated!
Wicked Summer Knight is the perfect afternoon quickie;)
James Joseph is my new favorite Brit. He is perfect as the mysterious & brooding Sebastian. Eeep and I love Stella (character & narrator
Sebastian is a sexy Scrooge who is a victim of Christmases gone wrong in the past. He has spent the last ten years not celebrating Christmas until his Granny needs him. He drops everything to help her and the town she loves.
Celia LOVES Christmas. I love her! She is so punny;) She is the anti-Sebastian lol but she wants a redo on last Christmas.
Circumstances put Celia & Sebastian together and they work flawlessly together. From ideas to implementation they are in sync and exactly what each other needs.
Snowsly just might be the perfect little Christmas town. It's filled with family, love and magic;)
Fave quotes:
He might not be in the best mood but at the same time he was built like Adonis and smelled just like Christmas—all fresh-cut pine and crackling fires. He might just be the perfect man. If only he liked Michael Bublé. And was a little more . . . festive.—-I
Dynamic Duo has done it again! I'm in love with the hot cruncle (crappy uncle).
Levi is dubbed the cruncle by his nephew Alex after arriving at their inherited bed & breakfast in a bad mood. It didn't take long for Levi to lose the bad attitude. He & Presley build a strong relationship organically. He falls in love with Presley & Alex...only problem his brother Tanner decides that he wants his family back and moves to Beaufort.
Ugh the emotions were strong in this book. They are truly in a lose lose situation and Levi makes his choice thinking he is doing what's best for everyone...
Fave quotes:
‘Never forget the comfort of just sitting under an oak tree and watching that amazing southern sunset. Never forget the taste of sweet tea made right. And down-home cooking—if you don't find someone who can make it like Mamaw, make it your damn self! (Or learn if you still don't know how.) And if for some reason you're reading this and missing home, maybe it's damn well time you went back.'—-the entire letter from Presley's mamaw was beautiful but I love this the most
I love a good second chance story & Tangled Up did not disappoint.
From childhood sweethearts to complete strangers...Until one highway pileup and fate put Beck & Carly back in each other's worlds. Their chemistry is off the charts & it's like life never got in their way.
They are seriously cute & super sexy together. I was rooting for them from the beginning. Carly has such a good heart & I love her mission. And Beck...hello swoon worthy hot doctor who love his geriatric patients
Captain Filthy Mind & the Superhot Wingman are the Best men for Hannah & Flip (sister & best friend). As the best men part of their duties are to go to the wedding destination-Miami- early to get things ready for the wedding. What they aren't supposed to do is fall for each other...what happens in Miami stays in Miami right??
Like a June night in Miami Mark & Asher are scorching
I absolutely identified with Grace from the start. I'll be honest & say I don't know very much about k-pop but the last couple of years have been a total eye opener just learning from Rachel & the Rockin Readers lol. She is a fountain of k-pop knowledge & I adore her passion and it absolutely shows in My Summer in Seoul.
Meeting the guys through Grace we get to see all of their personas. We get to witness how toxic their fandom can be along with how they are allowed to deal with life. Their lives are beyond stressful and its truly endearing that Grace never stops trying to make them happy or figure out ways to ease their stress.
Fave quotes:
“Grace, your worth isn't in what you do. That's too big, right? Your worth happens every second of every day... when you help someone who needs help, when you love someone who needs love; it takes place in the small moments, not the big ones.”—-I LOVE Grace's Dad! Love & appreciate all of the small moments
PNR isn't usually my go to genre but I am absolutely living this series! Primal Lust has a little bit of everything! Definitely a steamy read and we find out more about what's going on the blood banks.
All of the mates are crazy in love & passionate about each other but just how far would you go for the one you love?? Would you give up the life you know to stay with your mate??
Questions still need to be answered and I can't wait for Broken Fate
“Any guy who will write love songs about you and tell the world that you are his plus loves all of your best friends is definitely a keeper!”—Brandy after reading Claimed
This was my first book in this series {I know I know} and now I need everyone else's stories
This fake fiancé is definitely a keeper;) Huxley is a smart, shrewd, demanding, sexy AF cockhole (love this Meghan)! Oh my gosh he is such a tease though!! How could he hold out for soooo long
