When I think of Kelly Jamieson I immediately think of her hockey books which I am a huge fan of but now I will have to start thinking of her other series, especially this one. Each book in the San Amaro Singles series can be read as a standalone which is what I did, I jumped right into book two I am sure I will go back and read book one, With Strings Attached, but it was book two that grabbed my attention when I was look at the three of them. You ask why, well that's simple it was a menage with two men already in a committed relationship looking for a woman to share their love with and the woman wanted no part of a relationship so she thought a fun menage with no feelings was just her thing, I had to see how this would play out.
Jules was a hard character for me to connect with but that doesn't mean I didn't like her because I did, I just didn't understand her. She uses sex as a way of manipulation and never shows her feelings to anyone, if you ask me that has to lead to a very lonely life; but hey Jules seems to love it.
Mike and Carlos have been together for a few years and although they are in a committed relationship they feel a third would complete them, interesting since they haven't found the right person yet but then they move next door to Jules and they both know right away that she's the one...now all they have to do is convince her of that.
This was a HOT read with plenty of MF, MM, MFM, and MMF action. As I mentioned this was a good story even though I had a hard time connecting with some of the characters. Would I recommend this book, yes I would. Who would I recommend it to, well....anyone that enjoys menage/triad/poly relationships, also anyone that is curious as I was on how a committed couple would bring a third into the relationship in order to complete it. Happy Reading!!!

Kick is an outdoor adventure company that is run by former Marines, Grady has been brought in by his cousin Finn to become a guide for them and possibly a partner in the company. But then there is a horrible accident when Grady is guiding Finn and Chris in a white-water adventure in a new area they are looking to expand their adventures to. Finn is left in a coma while Chris has tragically lost his life. To say that Grady is in a bad place after this would be an understatement. Micah is a bartender at a leather club and he also volunteers his time at the hospital to read to patients and that is what he is doing when he meets Grady. Micah is reading to Finn when Grady comes for his daily visit. I would like to say that it was love at first sight but it really wasn't it was more of an attraction...but neither of them are looking for anything serious.
Grady and Micah are two guys with a lot of baggage but they are perfect for one another. This book had me on an emotional rollercoaster. I wanted to wrap Grady in a big hug and tell him everything was going to be ok one minute and then smack him up the back of his head the next. And Micah, oh boy he was just a big softy and every time he had a "brain blip" or got "Lost" my heart broke for him.
Rig and Ash are two interesting Partners in the company and I look forward to reading each of their books., but after reading the epilogue there is one person in particular I would really like to know more about. The Deeper He Hurts: A Kick Novel and The Farther He Runs: Kick are the next two books in the series and if they are half as good as this one was we are all in for a treat.

I LOVED this book. From Cal's quirkiness to Row's saltiness, they had me hanging onto every word they shared. If you enjoy a story with good banter, tI LOVED this book. From Cal's quirkiness to Row's saltiness, they had me hanging onto every word they shared. If you enjoy a story with good banter, this one is for you!
This story spans several years. We start when Calla "Cal" Litvin is a senior getting ready to leave for college in New York and then fast-forward about five or six years to when she returns home. She hasn't had any contact with Row during this time, but that doesn't mean she has forgotten him or his sister, who was once her best friend.

I tThis book is told with Dylan's POV as the first person and Annie's as the third, and since Dylan is the first person POV we learn a lot about him. I think the biggest thing that we find out is about his relationship with Max, his brother, and Ben, his father. Now that Dylan and Annie have finally met face to face, there is no going back, and seriously why would they want to. Yes, Dylan's family leaves a lot to be desired but he treats Annie like she is the most precious thing and after all the abuse she had been through first with her mother and then with her husband, she deserves to be treated kindly. This book has a lot of Hot Sex, Action Adventure and some mystery. I thought it was a great way to wrap up Dylan and Annie's story. I cannot wait to find out more about Max and Joan. Now there's some mystery and suspense, who is Joan really? What is she doing with Max? Why was she at the trailer park to begin with? Burn Down the Night cannot come out fast enough!

Something drew me to him even though he was a secondary character in the prior book. I knew he needed his HEA soon, and not with the witchy woman; he was with either because she was a total biotch. This one was promised to be a single-dad and an age-gap romance, two of my favorite tropes, and Nikki Ash did not disappoint with Kira, who was much more than just a Nanny.
Kira is on the run with her daughter from her abusive husband, doing her best to stay off the radar out of fear of him finding her. She desperately needs a job and finds a perfect one with Kingston Limited as an onsite childcare provider, allowing her to bring her daughter to work with her until school begins.

I was recently turned onto Lily White's books (September 2017) and I must admit that I am a fan, especially of her Dark Romances which is what I have read until this little gem. Crazy Madly Deeply was a gut wrenching read, which totally broke my heart. From the very first page I was pulled in and Holden held my heart until well after I finished the book. This story was so very different from others that I have read by Lily White but honestly I'll take her stories anyway she wants to write them, her brilliance comes through in each and every page.

In this first full length book I said it when I read the prequel, The Mercer Curse, and I'll say it again, "I love being back in Tess and Q's world".
In this first full length book of The Jewelry Box Series we find that Henri is trying to get into the dark world of trafficking and he finds himself in a bit of a predicament, either he gets in kills the Master Jeweler and frees the all of the Jewels, or he dies at his half brother's hands. Q is on a mission to rid the world of these types and Henri having a bit of a monster inside himself is the perfect person to help him get in The Jewelry Box, a world he has found is almost impenetrable. But what will it cost Henri if he does get in? I can tell you, this book is not for the faint of heart so be sure to read all of the trigger warnings.

I wasn't sure we would get this story because Louanne wasn't the nicest of people in the previous story, and Henrik has been a bit of a grump on occasion, but time and circumstances can change a person.
I will admit to not being a fan of Lou's at the beginning because of her previous actions, but once I got to know her better, I liked her a lot. Plus, the chemistry between Lou and Henrik was great.

Oh, how I LOVED Kelsey. She is a single mom raising her daughter after a house fire claimed her boyfriend/baby daddy one night, three years before the events in this story. There is soooo much I would love to talk about, but honestly, you need to go into this story without knowing too much about it. I feel it will enhance the story for you.

I don't know where to start other than to say if you like Dark Why Choose Romance, you need to add this series to your TBR list and get to it quickly because it's so freakin' good. Now, let's get to the meat of things. I know there are many good series, but how many can you honestly say that each of the books was a FIVE-STAR READ? Well, each of the four books in this series was a FIVE-STAR READ for me, and that's saying something because very few series stand that test. Maybe a couple of books are a five-star read, but not this one. Each of the four books were OUTSTANDING!

Welcome to Blackburn Farms, Kentucky'sThis is Abby’s family’s series from Code Name: Omega it was great seeing her and Kellen for a bit in this story.
Welcome to Blackburn Farms, Kentucky's largest saddlebred breeding and training facility. Now that his father has retired and his parents are traveling more, Ethan Blackburn runs the daily operations with the help of his siblings. But things are about to change a bit when he receives information about fathering a child with his enemy's daughter ten years earlier.

This book picks up shortly after book one ends and has you wondering what happened: is Maverick okay? It was only for a little while, but my heart was in my throat, wondering how badly he was hurt.
I enjoyed this read; although it didn't have nearly as much as the action the first book did, we do get a lot of character growth and many steamy scenes. I felt that character growth was needed for them to move on together, especially since Reid and Mav dislike one another so much. Do they forgive and forget? You'll have to read the book to find out why they were at odds.
