Cheers for a romance novel cover that looks adorable.

I can't find any of these over-used stereotypes in sight :

1. Headless Man - Apparently, readers don't want a face to ruin their image. It's too bad I prefer a gorgeous face to a hot body. What's the point of a good body if you can't look someone in the eye?

2. Shirtless man w/winking nipples - Don't believe me? Take a spin through someone's romance book list. Let it be said that I'm a nipple aficionado (talk about a bitch to get the spelling ri More...

”Everything tastes better covered in whip cream.”

Noah by Elizabeth Reyes was pure sexy, yummy fun! I simply jumped in, let my guard down, and enjoyed the ride! Ha! Okay, just warning you now, everything sounds a bit dirty on Smut Mondays! :D

Veronica (Roni) gets dragged into the local boxing gym on a free week pass for a snap-out-of-your-depression-get-fit workout session by her best friend, Nellie. Veronica has been in a dark hole ever since her mother’s death and needs a push and a pull to get More...

The guys on 5th Street are just as fantastic as those Moreno Brothers. I adored Noah. I ended up losing two nights of sleep because I couldn't put Noah down. The romance between him and Roni is so incredible sweet. Well… and incredibly hot too. A must read for all romance readers. FYI: Reyes ability to create the best alpha males out there is alive and well with the 5th Street series. I can't wait to read Gio.

I had a lot of fun reading this sweet romance about finding love in unexpected places!

Veronica and Noah meet when she is forcibly taken to a free training session at the gym Noah works at. He's the trainer assigned to whip her back into shape after she's put on forty pounds. Veronica puts this weight on while caring for her sick mother during a lengthy illness. Her mother finally passed, and she's dealing with depression over that and basically having no life after putting everything on hold. S More...

My emotions for this review are seriously summed up with this gif!!

I honestly thought this book was an utter load of bullshit. The blurb sounded interesting and when I read it, I assumed their would be lots of training session's and gym time between Roni and Noah but after four or so chapters Roni magically lost 40lbs pounds and wasn't overweight any more or feeling down about herself.

What? No, seriously, what?

How was it possible or even healthy to lose forty po More...

Noah is a 19 year old personal trainer who is also an up and coming boxer. An orphan who was in foster homes, he lives for the ring and the gym. Veronica Cruz has lost her mother to cancer. Depressed, she has put on 40+ pounds on her 120 lb frame. So her friend, Nellie, does what any good friend would do. She forces to a gym where she got free one-week passes. Of course, Veronica is not particularly pleased that this gym is more of a boxer's gym then say the local one at the mall. Noah has been More...

Oh man! This is the read I have been waiting for. It has been so long since I have a read a book and it has been nothing but pure fun.

Also, I am pretty sure this is the first book with a smut scene I have ever read, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT. AT ALL.

Noah is about a young woman named Veronica who, after the death of her terminally ill mother, has found herself in a state any woman her age would be ashamed to be in-- anti social, out of work, single, and over 40 pounds heavier than before. Through More...

I really liked this story and enjoyed the author's writing style. I think the age difference between Roni and Noah was handled well. House parties, brawls, video games and hickies showed Noah's age but he was also very mature especially bc of having a tough past. Roni's apprehension of starting a relationship with Noah was realistic as well since I don't know many 28 year old women who would quickly want to start something up with a 19/20 year old. I look forward to reading more from this author More...

Wow.

One of the best things about Elizabeth's books are her swwon-worthy, gorgeous, possessive boys! The Moreno brothers (plus Eric and Romero) were total cave-men and yet you couldn't help but fall in love with them!

Her new series doesn't dissapoint, either! Noah is possessive and sweet and has actual depth. I loved how considerate he was, and though Roni was so infuriating with her 'age' conerns, she aventually saw sense and admitted her feelings for Noah.

I usually get very bored with stories More...

Okay I am back to refine my original review since I was able to spend the weekend absorbing everything about the story. Here we go!

For starters, I just can't seem to get Noah & Roni out of my head. Their connection, relationship, & personal hardships really got to me. Being the same age as Roni really allowed me to understand all of her hesitations with the age-gap. I wouldn't dare imagine dating a 20 year old right now. At the same time, I would have seriously fallen head over heels in More...

¿Qué si me gusto? ME ENCANTO.

Y debo decir que Roni me sorprendió en la parte del 'drama', al no ser como las otras tipas de las novelas, donde cuando se enteran de una verdad del hombre que quieren se sienten tanto que terminan la relación y desconfían y mierdas esas, en cambio ella fue curiosa y quiso saber la verdad, y le dijo a Noah que no le importaría, idolaaaaaa.

Y Noah, que digo de él. Fue a{ldsñgklfhldfsafkas. Fue paciente con su relación con Roni. Me encantaba como la marcaba como suya a More...

4.5 Stars :)

What is it about alpha males? Seriously, Ms. Reyes seems to know how to create a perfect one each and every time. Case in point, Noah. What to say, what to say. Hmmmm... Noah is a boxer. He's strong, sexy, sweet, & protective. All the things I love in a leading male. The only drawback for our heroine, Veronica, is that he's only nineteen years old to her twenty eight. However, with that said, he's been through a lot and he rarely came across as just a teenager. Unfortunately, it More...

OH.MY.GOD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this was mind-blowing breath-taking and heart-aching !!!! ok , i've read one of Moreno Brothers books ans it was wonderfu; , but THIS ???? this was FANTASTIC .I haven't loved a book like this in a very long time , i've very grateful for my friend Reem (ROck) for recommending this. So sweeeeeeeeeeeet baby

Noah, Noah, Noah...how delectable you are with those "suckable lips"!!! I just loved this book! My first read of author, Elizabeth Reyes’s, writings. I just couldn’t stop reading this novel until I found out how it was going to end! And, like I said, Noah was just sooo nice a guy. So hot! So gorgeous! Wow! And, then there’s Veronica Cruz. Twenty-eight years old and alone. After just losing her mother to cancer and letting herself gain forty pounds, she just does not care a smidge about her life. More...

4 1/2 stars. Excellent. I was swept away by this book. It is the first of this author's 5th street series. If this book is any indication of what is to come then I will be reading them all. I have not read Ms. Reyes' Moreno series but I will definitely check it out.

I bought this book because it was recommended to me from a book blog and it was on sale at Amazon. What a delicious surprise. Noah is incredible. He is very young in age (20) but mature and he is a boxer. My first read with this genre More...

From my lovely critique partner - I keep telling her, "This one's my favorite!" every time she writes a new one. I love Noah. :)

Very sweet, nice, A little inspiring and an interesting perspective especially Noah's comment about Derek's age. I liked Noah's thoughts about Roni and he definitely seemed older. Also there are a lot of books where there is a 5-9 year age gab out there and the only time it ever seems weird is if the woman is older, interesting concept. I was happy with the ending, it was a quick read and the points how even older people are often not at the same stage or stuck earlier like Rick being an Ass are More...

It took me a while to buy this book, only because I saw the boxing gloves in the cover and my first though was “I don’t really enjoy this sport”. But since I really think that Ms. Reyes is an amazing writer, I go ahead and bought it, without even reading any review first.

The lesson here: Don't judge a book by its cover. This was another well written book, with a great story, and while I’m still not a fan of boxing, I felt the same way Roni felt while watching Noah’s fights. That part was just n More...

Okay...WOW OH WOW!!! Is it possible to fall in love with an author all over again...I mean two times in a row??? Ms. Reyes, I am truly speechless right now....and WOW!! To say I loved Noah would be an understatement so I am just not going to say it. Period. End of conversation. But I will say, that I have been spell bound, mesmerized, enthralled, captivated...whatever you want to call it! The point is my heart has been stolen by not only the book, Ms. Reyes, her amazingly HOT characters but also More...

Oh Yes!! 4 1/2 STARS!!!! I loved this book Ms.Reyes did an awesome job building this romance.

Noah is just shy of 20 he is a boxer at 5th street gym but was recently sidelined because of an injury, so now Noah is training others to make some extra cash. In walks Veronica and her bff Nellie. Veronica is 28 and has been in a slump she has recently lost her mother the only family she had then on top of that she packed o More...

Though i have some mixed feelings about this book I really did enjoy it. Compared to the Moreno Series, though it didn't compare to some of the books in that series, Noah was definetly getting there! So, lets talk about the good and the bad.

Good:

-Noah, i just loved Noah! To me he was just as swoon-worthy as any Moreno brother, but there was more to it. Noah had enough alpha male and sweet guy in him to make it work. I loved how he staked his claim with Roni, but the moment any doubt or problem a More...

I absolutely loved this book! It was a good break from the romance novels I have been reading lately. Noah was so damn sweet!!! And the fact that he's a boxer made him evvvveen hotter in my eyes! Kudos to Veronica for showing an exemplary amount of self control, because I would've jumped his bones within one month of knowing him! And her and I are the same age.

Men hit their sexual peak at 19.... Don't judge me! Lol!

But anyway, this was a great book, More...

Noah in my eyes looked like:Taylor Lautner


well, I had gotten this book as a freebie. I am so happy that I downloaded it. it was so good. I fell for Noah right from the beginning. wish there was a little more detail in the ending, yet I am looking forward to reading Gio and Hector. would have loved to know who Nellie ends up with.

Últimamente ando leyendo libros de hombres dominantes y sexys. Este libro no fue la excepción. Joven, fuerte, decidido, maduro, impulsivo... uy, Noah es una obscesión. Ya quiero leer el siguiente libro y saber más de 5th Street!!!

Joder, me encantan los machos alfa! Pero esta chica me hace querrer arrastrarla por el suelo

Thannk you, Martse´s book blog, or i never would have found this. Can´t wait to start reading this. I admit it was first the cover that got me intrigued..

I love Elizabeth's books i have read everything she has written and she does not disapoint. I can not wait to read Gio's story

This was great, angsty, emotional and I just love these alpha males Elizabeth Reyes writes! I adored the Moreno brothers and this is more of the same ... in a good way! As is often the case with these types of stories the women drive me a little insane with the "to"ing and "fro"ing but if I'm honest with myself it's what most of us women are like....let's face it we tend to analyse and over-analyse all the time! (especially in matters of the heart!)

This is another great book from this author, ve More...

The best. I loved it. Perfect weekend read
