There is a lot of backstory for this couple, and although I normally get annoyed by flashbacks, they really added some depth to Until Harry. The family aspect and how relevant each family member was to this couple's life also added a lot. I love a couple that pines for each other. The misunderstanding wasn't weird or unbelievable. It was heartbreaking and real. The death of Uncle Harry is the catalyst for this heroine's return home, back to a family that doesn't understand her and yet loves and misses her to no end. The hero has his own heartache, and although he's the dark and broody type, his deep affection and intense love for the heroine was the best part. This was a well rounded story, full and real and memorable. My first by L.A. Casey, but definitely not my last!

Then he turned up the bossy, and I remember one of the best things about Jordan...her super spicy love scenes!
The setup for the series seems to revolve around the small town atmosphere and maybe the sisters of this heroine. There's always a lot of stories within small towns, and always enough busy-body gossips to act as talking heads in a book. I was a little underwhelmed at first, but I think most first-in-series have some series setup issues...background and families and individual characters that need introduced and impressions made. Once we get into the meat of the story, however, the pace picked up and I could sink into it. The past between the hero and heroine, the way each of their families played such major roles, some wonderfully supportive, some truly villainous...made this a multi-layered story to lose yourself in.

This turned out to be one of her most evocative, down to earth and real stories yet. She is an emotional force. She has the insight and talent to give her readers authenticity without losing the fantasy.
Any time a favorite author of mine begins a new venture, I'm always a bit apprehensive. I shouldn't have been with this lady. Her newest heroine, Penelope, is in a very dark place in her life. At the tail end of a marriage that she once thought fulfilled her every dream, she is on a downward spiral into self pity and self indulgence. Until she decides to pick herself up and not let herself be this person that she is becoming. Isn't that the mark of true bravery? Being scared and alone, but forging on because it's what needs to be done. Penelope is brave.
There are a few chapters of back and forth between past and present. They show some of the beginning of Penelope and Derek's marriage, and some of the inevitable moments of failing. I feel like Abel touched on an issue that a lot of women have when they first get married. Sometimes it's easy to lose yourself in your husband's world. You become something else...not adding on to what you once were, but changing completely. It's hard for young women especially, I think, because they are still learning about themselves. Men have very defined roles in life, but I feel like women's roles are more amorphous. There is no right or wrong, so each woman has to decide for themselves. And Penelope realizes during the first parts of Liquid and Ash how far she has strayed from what used to be her hopes and dreams.
Brandon is the friend of a friend. He's a little bit wild...especially to Penelope. He's a bartender and sells pot, and his lifestyle is one that I initially questioned pretty hard core. It wasn't until later on in the book that I really started falling for this hero. Stay with him, have faith...he ends up being such a great person and exactly what Penelope needs...after she finds herself again.
I felt like yes, the romance was amazing. Sexy as hell, of course. Unique in both the characters and their stations in life. But what comes across the most in this book is growth. Penelope grows so much as a person, as a woman. She discovers the woman that she really is, and she finds a great guy who will support her, love her, and protect her. Finally.

Restored is the continuing story of Sam and Tiel...unarguably Kate's most controversial and unexpected couple to date. Only now, Sam is content. What a word to stick with a guy like Sam! When last we were with him, this suave and sexy man had just come to the realization that Tiel was his one and only. I was personally emotionally wrung dry. And I think Tiel and Sam both were, as well.
The thing with this couple...and one of my favorite parts about them as well...is that even those that are closest to them don't really understand them. As we learned in Shannon's book, The Cornerstone, Sam is a dynamic guy, and he picked an equally private, unique woman to keep for his own. I know a lot of readers gave Tiel a bit of the cold shoulder at the interaction she had between the Walshes and their women during the initial few meetings. What I loved about this story is that a lot of it takes place during the same time that Shannon and Will are finding each other. So not only do we get some more of the endearingly abrasive Shannon, but we get SO MUCH more of Tiel. I feel like I know her better, understand her better, and love her more than I did before.
I adored spending more time with Sam and Tiel, but I'm ecstatic that we get so much Riley. I can't express how stoked I am to read Riley's story. All of the Walshes (and Halsteads!) make a few appearances, further solidifying that solidarity that this family can show. Each of their personalities are obvious, and I love how I have come to pick each of their "voices" out of the crowd.
This is a series that needs to be read in order to appreciate it fully. This book in particular wouldn't be understood at all if it's the first one you pick up. It's also a series that is just begging to be re-read. And I almost never re-read a book...let alone a series. It's just that good. ...more
What a fantastic installment to the One Eyed Jacks series! It's an intricate tale of passion, secrets, and betrayal. Bobby and Talia share a few stoleWhat a fantastic installment to the One Eyed Jacks series! It's an intricate tale of passion, secrets, and betrayal. Bobby and Talia share a few stolen nights together and each of them realize how intense their feelings are for each other, but for one of them, the entire connection has been a setup. When everything falls into place, that connection is severed and it is years until they meet up again...only then is the biggest betrayal of all uncovered.
I admit to having a hard time with the gravity of this particular betrayal, but by the end of the story, Gerard pulls me away from my comfort zone and drags me kicking and screaming into the love story of Bobby and Talia. And she makes me accept it. If you haven't delved into this phenomenal military romantic suspense author's books, do yourself a huge favor and start now.

“His hands shifted to my face and he kissed me, fast and hard. It felt like a punishment and tasted like a promise.�
I truly don't fangirl very often“His hands shifted to my face and he kissed me, fast and hard. It felt like a punishment and tasted like a promise.�
I truly don't fangirl very often. My tastes are weird and sometimes I will adore an author for two or three books and then hate every character they write after that. I bumped into Kate Canterbary right after she released book one in the Walsh series, fortunately. I remember thinking, "Damn, this was one smoking hot, emotional, and captivating story!" But now that I've spent four books with this family and learned with each installment more and more about their past and their present, I'm honestly a goofy, loopy, swooning fangirl for Kate Canterbary. Each time I start a new book, I hope against all hope that this book will be just as unique, just as slapstick/harda$$/bada$$/romantic/se*y as the last one, and each time, I am shocked all over again at just how unique each of these people and their stories are. Shannon and Will are one hot mess, but it never feels messy. It feels right, right from the start.
Shannon is truly the cornerstone of the Walsh family. She's the quintessential matriarch, the one who takes care of everyone else first, and herself last. She's not the cuddly, coddling, maternal type, however. She's the ride your a$$, hound you for days, mock you until you shape up type. Then she can turn around and somehow say just the perfect thing to take care of the emotional needs of her brothers and the women who are falling into their lives.
“I didn’t know how to be the person others worried about, and I rarely knew what to do with their concern.�
Will is a Navy SEAL. This story doesn't focus on his SEAL-ness so much as how it affects him as a person, however.
The story covers months of time, with long pauses for both H/h to reflect on themselves, to miss one another, to fume about a lack of contact, to seethe over a slight, to wallow in their insecurities, or to ache for the person who makes them each feel so much more than anyone else ever has. Shannon is not the chaser in this relationship, and I respect her all that much more for it. She doesn't see Will as commitment material, and she doesn't waste pride begging for scraps. Not that Will ever, ever gives her scraps. The problem is, she expends a lot of effort dodging something that is very real, and something she needs very badly.
“You can go now,� I snapped, finger-combing my hair from my face. Will paid no attention to me, and instead of getting dressed, he kicked off his jeans from where they were bunched at his ankles. He sauntered toward the bathroom, and I listened, fuming, while the faucet ran. He returned with a glass of water and he shot a cocky grin in my direction. “I said, you can go now.� Will flopped down beside me with a laugh. “Yeah, I’m not going to do that.�
If you thought you hated Angus before, you have no idea how much you'll hate that rat ba$tard after reading The Cornerstone. There were no limits to his awful. This was the only thing that I felt was unresolved here. I wanted more than a passing thought about the Walshes father's betrayal. I wanted maybe Sam and Shannon, and maybe even Erin, to sit down and come to terms with how royally messed up their father was.
No matter how much I loved Shannon, there is no way that she overshadowed Will. He's just as dynamic as she is, if you can believe it. At first, he's just drawn to the sassy, bossy redheaded Walsh who is sister to the jerk marrying his sister. He wants her, he gets her. And it is blow-your-head-off amazing. Every. Single. Time.
“You’re a prick,� I groaned. His hips snapped forward and the bed creaked beneath us as he pushed into me. He was so much bigger than I expected, and my mind was quickly numbing to anything but the pleasure surging through my body. He was tearing me apart, thrust by thrust, and I wanted to do the same to him. “Stop talking, Shortcake,� he said. “You’re ruining this for me.� The headboard knocked against the wall in a harsh rhythm, as if he was trying to fuck me into the next room. Each time he drove into me, my eyes rolled back in their sockets, and I was convinced I was about to combust, but that didn’t prevent me from getting in some taunts. “Not much to ruin,� I said. “All this talking makes me think you need a dick in your mouth,� he murmured.�
He gives as good as he gets, and they are so much fun to listen to. It's comedy, it's raw passion, its devastating loneliness, it's a slow realization, and a beautiful ending for the Walsh that is the toughest we've seen yet. An all time favorite!!!

It almost changes my perspective on things, makes me want to reread some parts. As it is, this was a wholly satisfying, sexy, intriguing romantic suspense. Most of the book takes place with the hero and heroine holed up in a desert stronghold, pretending to serve the bad guys. While trying to stay under the radar, they gravitate toward each other, which only draws attention. Slow burning, believable romance. Action packed ending. Great read!

I adored the first half of this book in which fighter 221 begins to come back to life after over 20 years in captivity. The series has a slight sci-fi bent, as the premise circles around an underground mafia fighting ring in which the fighters are prisoners hyped up on drug cocktails that make them into rage machines with no memory of their previous lives, and no will to do anything but kill. Thankfully, Cole doesn't get into the specifics and leaves it up to the reader's imagination, so we can't pick it apart.
I'm all about the hero who is primal, chest beating, and brutal, but turns powerless when it comes to his woman. That is for sure 221, or Zaal, as we come to know. Talia brings him out of his shell slowly but the attraction between these two is evident from the first moment she reaches out and touches him while he's chained to the basement floor, trying to overcome the drugs coursing through his system. It's the first soft touch he's felt in 21 years, and my heart just melted at that point. The next 150 pages were golden. I lost a little steam during the super sappy ending for this couple. The purple prose was a little overwhelming. But the good parts way overshadowed those bits and the series arc progressed even more with the last couple of pages. I think readers might guess what's coming up for the next book, and I can almost say that I think a handful more pages could have really enhanced this story. However, it's not a cliffhanger per se. Just a teaser for book three, I'm assuming.
These two books were my first by this author and I'm very impressed! I can see why all the fuss now. She does caveman alpha very, very well.

This is a story about the boy and girl next door who got dealt a raw hand in life and lived through some really tough things before finding each other. Both the hero and heroine have some scary skeletons in their closet, and it was perhaps the most standout thing about this sweet love story...there was zero judgement from any of the main characters. It was all about learning to trust yourself and love yourself after hating your own mind for such a long time. Add in an uber protective, tough guy hero and a woman and her adorable son that need saving, and you get The Twisted Road to You by Barbara Longley.

The romance is always intermingled with some pretty heavy subject matter, so it's definitely not the light and fluffy sort.
In this book, the heroine is a true crime writer with her own true crime story waiting for her to tell. When her fear of commitment leads her fiancee to step back from their relationship, she feels led to close that chapter of her life. She goes back to her small harbor town where she grew up, where her sister was brutally raped and murdered, where her father killed the suspect, and her mother eventually committed suicide. So yeah...there's some baggage that this woman carries around. Her high school boyfriend still lives there, and the two still have an intense attraction. But the focus of the story is definitely on the whodunnit. A whirlwind of characters with intertwining lives constantly leads the reader in different directions. In the end, it wasn't even a question of who committed the crime, but why they did it, and why they let the aftermath destroy so many different families.
I felt like the end wrapped up very quickly. There were a lot of people touched by the senseless tragedy that happened over twenty years ago, and each of them is brought into the fold; however, they don't really get any closure. And in fact, their lives are torn apart, but after all is said and done, the author chose not to really give the reader any more from them.
White definitely doesn't shy away from brutal details. But she's not overbearing with them either. It's enough to horrify me but not haunt me. A great read.

Revealed to him was built on an entirely different premise than Frederick's first two books in this series. I ended up loving Tiny and Ian's story, anRevealed to him was built on an entirely different premise than Frederick's first two books in this series. I ended up loving Tiny and Ian's story, and while Jake and Natalie were enjoyable characters and the idea behind this plot were good, the execution fell somewhat short for me. It wasn't bad at all, just not as good as I expected for a couple of specific reasons.
First off, Jake and Natalie don't officially meet in person until 54% into the book. They have a week...give or take a day or two...of texting and phone conversations first. While I can understand these circumstances can build excitement and give a person a surface-level understanding of someone, this pseudo-relationship was not enough for me to consider it a romance yet. They spoke mostly of Natalie's agoraphobia and the events leading up to her break down. They touched on a few personal things but not much. When they do meet, their intense feelings for each other are almost immediate. I'm usually okay with the love at first site schtick, but under these circumstances, this just didn't work for me. Possibly because so much of their feelings were blurred by Natalie's overpowering mental illness. I mean, this girl has issues, big time. I understand Jake's need to rescue the damsel in distress, but I wished we'd have gotten more healing and dealing than was presented.
Jake was somewhat frustrating for me even in books one and two, when he is presented as an overprotective brother keeping his sister away from the man that she loves. I may be a little biased because I think Asian men are divine, but Kaga is my newest book boyfriend, and I haven't even read his book yet. So Jake kind of rubs me the wrong way when he is still a hard ass about Kaga dating his sister.
Things I loved...I loved the way Jake's prosthetics weren't glossed over. He lost a hand and a leg in the war, and his disability became a major part of the story. Minor details like phantom limb pain and daily care of his stumps, the different prosthetics, etc, were a normal thing to read about. It made it less mysterious, and it wasn't used as a titillation factor. It was used to show how strong Jake was and how well Natalie fit into his life. She made him feel normal...not like a freak, not like someone who had a metal and plastic arm and leg. She made him feel whole again, and that was really beautiful to read about. They really ended up being a good fit for each other.

There was no doubt for me before reading this that Alexandra and Ian were perfect for each other, and I feel like the author wrote it knowing that readers already knew this. So this second book in their story was more solidifying for just how good they are together. It was hashing out of the extenuating circumstances surrounding the beginning of their romance.
Tiny is still dealing with the fallout from the ending of book one. I feel for her because of the lack of support she has from the other people in her life. Other than Ian, her mother was really the only person she could turn to. She does have a friend introduced in this book, and I kind of expected there to be more to that story than there was because of Ian's distrust of her. Oddly enough, she ended up not having a lot to do with the story, so her presence felt kind of superfluous.
Ian shows again and again how awesome he is, and how dedicated he is to Tiny. Tiny got on my nerves a bit due to her mistrust of Ian's dedication. He gives her no cause for her doubt, and she just has one too many moments of freakout for me.
The ending, of course, is amazing. Total closure. Fantastic book. This author completely surprised me. I will definitely be reading more by her....more

Jude Samson has been a part of the Woodley family through the strong bonds of friendship for years. Ever since his uncle shunned he and his mother and refused to acknowledge them in polite society, Jude has served the Woodleys. He sees himself as just another servant, but they see him as a close friend and confidante. Lady Audrey sees him as even more than that and has for years. In this story, the two are presented with many opportunities for alone time and one thing leads to another...
I felt like I was missing a chunk of history with this family, almost as if this was a second book in the series. Audrey's sister ran off awhile back, and that was a major focal point of the plot, but it was a bit confusing to me. Jude is carrying this (unwarranted) guilt over something that has to do with the sister's disappearance, and I expected big things to happen after that revelation, but it never really came. I guess I felt like the story was constantly on the verge of something big, but it fell short.
The romance was nice. Audrey is perhaps a bit headstrong at this moment, but it seems she's always been an average sister/daughter and is just now ready for something to happen in her life. Her sister's disappearance after marriage to a man-ogre affected her greatly. Jude is an average guy, it seems. Not a huge standout character but a good person, a good friend, and a talented lover. As per usual, the sex was too frequent for me to get too excited about it, but that's a problem I have often. Less is more, but I think I'm usually alone in those thoughts. What was here was perfectly spicy, on the edge of erotic.
A nice story. Not my fave Jess Michaels but a nice start to a new series/family.
This was a meaty, multi-layered rich guy/poor girl romance. It's a fantastic escapist's dream. The hero, Ian Kerr, is So much better than I expected!
This was a meaty, multi-layered rich guy/poor girl romance. It's a fantastic escapist's dream. The hero, Ian Kerr, is not only rich, but a really nice guy. Victoria, or "Tiny", finds him at the perfect moment in life, and seeing as how she's the perfect girl for him, the rest is history.
Tiny is a smart, dedicated, hardworking woman. I don't think Ian would have been so intrigued by her if she had been any less. Their initial meeting is one of sparks heading toward fireworks, but it's what follows that initial attraction that really sealed the deal for this reader. The daily grind, the pitfalls in the life of the "normal" people like Tiny...Ian is steadfast and compassionate and clever and wonderful. What a great hero. And he gets a great heroine.
What I felt like when I put the book down? Not only did we readers get a heroine who snagged a fantastic hero, but the hero was equally lucky. Tiny is a great girl, and they both deserve the best. While I felt like this story was fairly complete, it does lead into the next book that ties up all the loose ends.
BAM! That is how it's DONE, folks! It is 4:58 in the morning as I sit here tapping out this review. The last 150 pages of this book had me enthralled.BAM! That is how it's DONE, folks! It is 4:58 in the morning as I sit here tapping out this review. The last 150 pages of this book had me enthralled. From page one, the whodunnit and the twists and turns made it ridiculously hard to stop reading to live my life. I'm telling you, as soon as I thought I figured out a plot twist, something new would be uncovered. It was like the author was saying "No, no, no. Don't you remember this guy..." And I'd change my mind again, only to be led down another line of thought. I wrestled with two or three scenarios for the entirety of the books.
And that ending! Wow!!! It just doesn't get much more intense than this.
I'd recommend this to readers who like a little romance with their suspense, and those who can take the nitty gritty side of things. This author pulls no punches. The heroine went through every woman's worst nightmare, and we the readers get to hear about it all. There are a LOT of people involved in this multi-layered, strangely not coincidental convergence of connected characters. No ponies, butterflies and rainbows here. No, sir. But it IS very well done. I'm possibly a little scared of the woods now...and the dark. I may hold off on camping for a bit.
A hero who needs to be a hero again, a heroine who has been broken down in unimaginable ways, a cop who's not even sure himself if he's on the right side, a little girl who's growing up too fast, and a sadistic, sociopathic killer who's come back for round two...makes for one hell of a ride.

This was a short-ish New Adult Romance, the third in Tracy Wolff's Extreme Risk series. What makes it unique is that it involves two of the original group members and doesn't introduce anyone specifically to the main storyline. (Although I'm wondering about a certain pseudo-love interest and whether he will get his own book.)
Luc has, up to now, sort of been the guy in the background. He's more beta male than the other two guys, and less of a standout than the uber confident and outgoing Cam. The way he has thus far melted into the shadow of his snowboarding kings and queen could have made him out to be less dynamic than they were, but I didn't find that to be true. He is unique in his calmness and his ability to not stay in the limelight. Turns out, being around his ridiculously talented, risk taking friends sort of made him okay with his place in the snowboarding world. Except for the fact that he's had to sit and watch Cam pining after someone else. And except for the fact that he's so much better than he's even given himself credit for.
I'm a huge fan of friends to lovers stories. I love the big moment of realization, when one or both have their eyes opened to their attraction to each other. And the inevitable sexy times that follow tend to burn up the pages. That's definitely the go-to scene in this book. A particular pool scene comes to mind...although pretty much every scene in which Luc gets to let loose his inner dominance basically blew my head off. Wolff can write some SEX. Not particularly dirty or kinky, but rough and powerful and full of emotion. Add in what these two do for each other outside of the sheets, and they make the perfect couple. They build each other up, and they both see the best in one another.
I liked the way she ended the story...there's a bit of a twist...but I felt like I could have used another few pages of Cam and Luc wrapping things up...an epilogue, another scene in which they connect and come to terms with their strong emotions toward each other.
I'm glad I caught back up with this group of friends and I plan on checking out her other series. If they're half as spicy as this book, I'm in for a treat.

Everyone was really hard and intense in this new SB book. Crawford, the Texas Ranger, who is constantly beat down, in the wrong place, wrong time, meeting the wrong people, getting into trouble that he never started...his story was exhausting and I spent the entirety of the book just wanting something to go right for this man. He didn't show much emotion other than anger, and it kind of kept me from falling for him as much as I usually do with Brown's heroes. Considering that his existence during the course of events that take place is centered around getting custody of his young daughter, I expected more softness, I guess. More circumspection, more thought before acting.
Holly is a judge...a job in which softness isn't really an option. The fact that she is presiding over Crawford's custody case makes their relationship a little eyebrow raising to begin with, but the way Crawford throws caution to the wind with regards to Holly was kind of a downer for me. He's awfully pushy/stalkerish in that respect.
Even so, the suspense is top-notch. Intense without being overly dramatic. The build up to the romantic relationship is long and perfection. I would have liked some kind of epilogue, or maybe some more time with Crawford's daughter, showing his Daddy side.

I'm a huge Kristan Higgins fan, and this book tops the list of my favorites by her. It is heartfelt, soul-deep, and true-to-life, with that trademark Higgins sass that has won over so many readers. KH has always sort of straddled the women's fiction/romance genres, and this one leans more to the chick lit side. It's told in dual point of view from both sisters. I tend to get really frustrated with that type of narration but it really worked here. I genuinely loved both Jenny and Rachel. They lead very different lives but both are good peeps with their own set of problems. At each chapter change, I was excited to get back to "the other" sister. Their lives are constantly overlapping, so you don't have much time to miss the other before you're back with her.
Not having a sister myself, I admit to being a little jealous of these women's relationship. It's like having a lifetime best friend and confidante, and I want one! No fair.
As I read one sister's story, I got more and more leery the closer I got to the end, thinking that the story was going to go one way...the wrong way...but I shouldn't have worried. We all know Higgins writes romance, and therefore her endings are generally sigh-worthy.
I will never doubt Kristan Higgins again. Every time I read a new book, I'm always astonished at the raw emotions she mixes with laugh out loud humor, and how it all works perfectly together. Her characters are all wildly different, her stories never stagnate, and out of the hundreds and thousands of authors I've read, she's still a favorite.
