Great book. Really fab characters- Ansel and Mia are both just so likeable and endearing. Hilarious scenes in the book with a healthy dose of angst that keeps you on your toes. Similar in some ways to the Beautiful Series but this is a bit gentler somehow. Heaps and heaps of hot, steamy passion . Looking forward to more from this group of friends....more
Nico Mayson is completely blindsided by love when he meets the quiet , shy Sophie and in an instant he knows he has experienced5 Nico and Sophie Stars
Nico Mayson is completely blindsided by love when he meets the quiet , shy Sophie and in an instant he knows he has experienced the legendary 'BOOM'. When the Mayson men meet 'the one' it literally knocks them for six , all bets are off and they are so the smitten kitten.
[image]
These two are all about each other but the path to true love is paved with drama and tension. I love this series and regularly re read these books. If you love books about Alpha heroes who are very protective of their women , then snap this up. Nico is a handsome , tough bounty hunter and Sophie is a quiet school librarian who has no one to look out for her except herself and she's ok with that until Mr Mayson enters her world and pretty much rocks it.
Emma Chase is a 'go to ' author for me and I adored this whole series when I read it in 2014 - I fell in love a**spoiler alert** 5 Drew and Kate Stars
Emma Chase is a 'go to ' author for me and I adored this whole series when I read it in 2014 - I fell in love again when I listened on audio in 2019.
This book has everything - it is laugh out loud funny , it is heart wrenching in places , it has a hero I adore and want to throat punch in equal measure at times plus a heroine who is really, really, likeable because she is as flawed and human as she is perfect for Drew.
This is the second book in the series and carries on a while after Tangled finished. It is largely Kate's POV and is well written and addictive. Seriously, you will not be able to put this down.
I would recommend reading the books in order. Great story , epic miscommunication and beautifully executed grovelling by the Hero. Perfect.
HEA? Yes Cheating? Hmmm.....Nothing too horrendous........more
If you only buy a couple of books a month, this is the one you should buy. If, like me, you have an endless queue of TBR nov5 Perfectly Stunning Stars
If you only buy a couple of books a month, this is the one you should buy. If, like me, you have an endless queue of TBR novels lined up on your Kindle, get this and read it first. Read it now. This is a fantastically written book that will grab your attention from the very start. Grace and Miller are the lead characters who are so beautifully crafted and written that you feel like you are right next to them and sharing their emotions. They will pull every emotion out of you. The supporting cast are so important and play their roles out perfectly. Ms Porter has mixed the past and present with ease and you feel very much that you are right alongside Grace. This is an MC book so it is gritty and raw. There is violence but it's in context . There is a lot of heat and action in this book, but if ever there was a clear line drawn between just sex and soul deep love making , then it's here. Definitely over 18's only. I really loved this book. It captured me completely. I really enjoyed her style of writing and the vibe of the whole story. Highly highly recommend. Would give over 5 stars if I could. The ending is beautiful. No cliffhanger.
2018 update - I'm about to read Dagger In The Sea by Cat Porter & realised that I had never posted my original review for Lock & Key on GR. I read this in 2014 & it's a book that has stayed in my heart and head....more

This is Niko and Sadie' s story and may possibly be the best yet. They are all 5 star reads. The writing is gorgeous. The story flows and grips you from the first page. Brilliant characters and I love the way we revisit previous couples but they don't take over the story. The focus is very much on the main couple. Great story. Hot passion. Lots of emotional . A really lovable hero and heroine. It all just works beautifully. I would love to hear Orion's story next.
Re-Read September 2018. Still love this series! Still a five star read.
Re read January 2024 Excellent narration by Kirsten Leigh & Chris Ruen. Listening time is 6 hr 35m. This series really does stand the test of time and is a go to comfort read for me. Ice hockey romance with a really likeable H/h. HEA? Yes Cheating? No Be aware - Traumatic loss of parents and sibling discussed. ...more

5 Brenna and Dragon Stars
I was surprised that I enjoyed this so much as it deals with some very dark issues . The story revolves around Brenna and Dragon , initially addressing the situation Brenna was fleeing from and then the complex situation she puts herself into when she returns to her father and to Dragon after being away for 5 years. It was a well written book and this was reflected by my reaction to something the hero did that, really, is unforgivable. The author took a big risk with this element of the story but it paid off and she did it brilliantly . POSSIBLE SPOILER AHEAD.....I liked that Dragon was not a 'man-whore' , it is an aspect of MC novels that I hate and is a reason I rated some other MC novels lower. He did have a history but it all stopped for Brenna. I think this was crucial to his being likeable even after his awful behaviour and part of the reason you still like him. I want to read more about The Aces...consider me addicted already....more
I love this series - so much so, that when one of my GR friends was reading it, I ended up rereading it entirely.
Ellie and Gunner 5 Solid Texas Stars
I love this series - so much so, that when one of my GR friends was reading it, I ended up rereading it entirely.
Ellie and Gunner are the main couple in this book but Ari and Jeff's story runs through it too. Gunner and Jeff are best friends, Ellie is Jeff's little sister and Arianna is her bestie. This book is more than just a love story - it's about friend's, family and all the dynamics those connections have. It's got a healthy dose of angst, heaps of sex and swearing, a couple of bitchy OW that you love to hate. Yep....it's all good.
HEA? For Gunner and Ellie , yes, and it leads into the next book which focuses on Jeff and Ari. Cheating? No
Re read via audible 2024 I think these novels are my 'absolutely escape reality' series. I read them years ago and have been re reading via audible and ebook.
The world is all a bit crazy , sad and unpredictable just now , so jumping back to a book world where you get swept up in the dramas that are all resolved with a happy ever after seems like a good idea.
The books remind me of crazy over the top soap operas....oh the drama....

This is a quick synopsis but the basis of all the books are the same:
-Girl falls in love with cowboy / rancher / horse breeder/ carpenter (who are all wealthy but grounded) and the guy reciprocates all the feelings.
[image]
- Some pesky hussy with legs for days and amazing boobs tries to lure said boy away.
[image]
-There is usually a previous connection or one night stand with said hussy, then something majorly dramatic happens and our heroine leaves in something of a snit.
[image]
-The Hero is bereft, gets off his face drunk and contemplates possibly bonking another woman to fix his broken heart ...
[image]
-The hussy rocks up , seizing her chance and tantalising the Hero with her magical boobs/ legs/ hair...
[image]
- The Hero nearly folds...
[image]
But love prevails. The OW is sent packing. The crisis is averted and there is a reunion involving great passion and lurve.
[image]
Nearly every heroine gets pregnant , delivers a baby and is demanding bedroom antics from her man within hours of childbirth. All the characters are giving 'weak smiles' , 'weak grins', licking their lips , biting their lips , the Hero is pulling the heroines lip out from her biting it. And don't get me started on the winking. Dear Lord the winking. Everyone winks. Sometimes multiple characters on the page are winking.
[image]
I don't care though - I still love all the drama and angst.
The books need to be read in order really to follow the flow of the characters journeys.
Book 1 Wanted Gunner & Ellie (But Jeff & Ari's story starts here)
Book 2 Saved Jeff & Ari (But Josh & Heather's story starts here)
Book 3 Faithful Josh & Heather (Brad & Amanda's story features too).
If you want some time out from reality , pick up this series. Hot guys, impossibly stunning girls, ranches , a country song list a mile long and winking. Lots of winking...
HEA? Yes , everyone eventually gets an HEA. Cheating ? In some books there may be some fraternising with other people hell bent on breaking up the happy couples. Nothing too terrible though. (view spoiler)[ Book 2 Jeff has a ONS whilst not with Ari and reportedly the OW gets preggers / Miscarriage features. Books 3 & 4 There is mild touching and snogging with another character/ Book 3 Brad has mild touching with another character and drug use is discussed. (hide spoiler)]...more
