I had to stay up well into the wee hours of the morning to finish this book last night. Brooke and Jett are an explosive combination, and I love every minute of their journey. I liked the reluctance to jump into rekindling the romance in the beginning. This story seemed to take a little more priority in the story than the first book, and it was welcomed addition. While I was a little distraught with the whining nature of Brooke's character for a brief stint; it was quickly understood with the developments of the story. I am always so sad to see these stories come to a close. I love JC Reed's style and talent. She will take you on whirlwind romances that leave you breathless with want. I look forward to seeing what is to come in the final installment that was publicized at the end of Conquer Your Love. With all of the new developments I see this story taking quite a different direction.

As the story twists and turns he slows softens my heart to a conclusion that leaves me in love with his character. This book reminded me of my deep love for Crow’s Row by Julie Hockley. The danger, action, and lust is all there mixed into an unforgettable story that will leave you begging for more.
This is by far the best book I have read from this talented author. She has twisted and turned my emotions inside out through this entire story. I am wound so tight that I feel like I could explode. I am even a little miffed with the current direction of the main characters feelings. It has me even more determined to follow the story, and further confirms my instantaneous fan status. Elect is just to far away; how will I be able to wait. Add this to The BookWhisperer Recommended series!!!!

All the other Rock Chick were either brought into a dangerous situation or stumbled upon it but Jules went out and created these dangerous situations for herself. Jules does this to keep drugs from getting in the hands of the kids she loves, since she is a social worker. All I can say is, probably not smart to rile up drug dealers but very noble. This gets her into some small trouble and Vance steps in to eliminate that small trouble.
Did I like this book? Absolutely! Kristen Ashley has never let me down. It is straight up drama at every turn, dangerous, good-deed doing bad boys saturate the pages, and hot, sexy scenes between Jules and Vance makes me love this book and continue loving the series. I really loved that KA added Luke into this book more because something about him just oozes sexiness and I can’t wait to read more about him. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~(less)

Rock Chick Revenge kept me highly satisfied with all the action, the drama, the miscommunication, and the love. KA is awing me with her ability to write such awesome books. She keeps getting better and better as time goes on and I just get sucked in to all of it. I don’t think I noticed that life was happening around me while I was reading this book. Brilliant!
I would like to say that Luke has lived up to all I have ever dreamed of and more! You get a taste of him in Rock Chick Renegade but you get ALL of him in this book. He is a man’s man! Everything about him brought me chills. When he first finds out Ava is in trouble, he takes action to fix it because he swears nothing is going to hurt her. However, when she does get hurt, he goes so far off the wall that I can only label it as hot! Everything about him is hot. When they fight, he’s hot. When they go at each other, he’s hot. And when someone touches her, he’s pissed, which makes him hot. He is by far my favorite in the Hot Guy group (if you couldn’t tell from my praises above.)
I also enjoyed Ava’s character. She has been in love with Luke since she was 8 years old and lost touch with him while battled her weight problems. But when she walks back into Luke’s life, it is like she lite a fire in his soul. There is something about them that just burns so brightly.
If I could book one KA book and turn it into a movie, so far, this would be the one; that is how fantastic it is. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~(less)

Stella and Mace had a lot more angst than the other characters coupling because of their tormented past between each other and their past in general. Because of this angst, it was harder for me to connect with their love in the beginning. I felt their lust for each other, I felt their want for each other but when the moment hit when their love for each other was exposed, oh my! To see hard, demon filled Mace finally let his walls down and let Stella in made me joyous. I feel that Stella and Mace was a couple that really had to work hard for their relationship and love to be strong compared to the other Rock Chick couples. This made Rock Chick Reckoning a more heart-breaking read. Totally worth the heart-break!
I liked how KA brought the other couples POVs in to this plot. Instead of the story focusing on the troubles of Mace and Stella only, all Rock Chick couples were in danger and as a reader, I got to read mostly from Stella POV but I got read from the others character’s POV. This was a nice twist in the plot because the men were ready to lay low to protect their loved ones (and you get to read why they decide this) but when it came time for action, a war started and fury was let loose. I also like experiencing how the other couples perceived Stella and Mace together; how they slowly witnessed Mace open up.
Another great story from KA. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~(less)

This book had so much more insane drama, crazy family members, more detailed and intimate moments between Hank and Roxie that it has become the top of the tops in this series.
Spoilers!!! Hank is my kind of man in so man ways. First, he just goes for Roxie, all out. When he gets her in bed, he tells her that now she is his and her problems are his to take care of and will keep her safe. But, holy crap, that part when he goes for a run and Billy breaks into his house and kidnaps Roxie was just SO insane that I couldn’t not put down my book even though it was way past my bedtime. I had to know what was going to happen; I had to know that Hank was going to kick Billy’s teeth in for even thinking about touching Roxie. However, my heart sank into the deep, dark sea when Hank didn’t call her after she was rescued by Vance. I think I slipped into a small, minor depression. And let me just say, this all happens in the beginning of the book so there is so much more that take place after these events.
I felt that the reader got more background on Roxie than we have in the previous books for the main female leads. To me, this made me connect more with Roxie and I felt stronger about every situation that she was put in. I loved that Roxie is Tex’s niece and that they start to build this wonderful connection between each other when she rolls into town. I also loved getting to read more about Luke. I am going to love his story when I get to it.
The one theme that I see in this series is that none of these women want to start a serious relationship with the men at first; they are all very hesitant. The men, however, know immediately that this is their women, end of story. All I could think of while reading these three stories is “why in the world would any woman say no to a relationship with them? I mean, they super sexy!” ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~(less)

I gotta love it, it is Paul McCartney (and so super cute when her father sings it for her.) However, that is the only cute thing that he does in this book. Jet’s father has some bad men after him and he leads them right to Jet, which Eddie does not approve of, at all.
I will say the favorite part of this book (besides getting to read about all the sexy man character’s in action) was the first few chapters. I loved how KA set it up as a continuous fail for Jet with her actions towards Eddie. For Jet, Eddie was so attractive that she couldn’t think straight and always made a fool of herself while she was around. This leads her to just ignore him when he was in the room or remove herself from that room so she would not embarrass herself. But she still does it anyways. At a party, when Jet tells Eddie that she doesn’t like his type (and he takes it as a racist comment) my heart quickly traveled to my throat! I found myself saying, “No, Eddie, come back. I personally know that she didn’t mean it that way. I swear! Kristen Ashley, you better fix this and fix this fast because I wanted my sexy Eddie back.” And when he comes back, *shoo* he comes back ready to fight for his newly claimed woman. how could you not like that?! ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~ (less)

I started with the Colorado Mountain series, first book of Unfinished Hero, then all of the Dream Man, finished the Unfinished Hero series, and then started on Rock Chick. All I can say is it is about time that I finally get to know about Lee, who is a character in most of the above series but I never knew him. Now I know him and now I love him even more.
Lee is extremely sexy with his alpha male mentality and such an awesome character. He runs his own PI business (that employs sexy men…bonus for us readers) and secretly harbors a crush for Indy. This to me was the cutest thing ever because based on the actions that Indy has taken in the past to seduce Lee, he has always shut her down because she was too young at the time. However, when Indy gets herself into a little danger, Lee does not mess around and goes full force with his feelings of love and protectiveness towards her.
I could see KA’s personality coming out in this book based on the absolute crazy (but funny) situations Indy put herself into. The bar scene just made me laugh because instead of staying in the care like Lee tells her to, Indy gets out and gets involved in a bar fight. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~(less)

Yes, there is a plot line to this story but I think what I was so drawn to was the dominance Troy showed when he was around Ruby. It wasn’t anything over the top but it was present. He is a cop for Pete’s sake so he has to have this level of authority and he uses it at his job but he also used it with Ruby, which made it even sexier. His character is so confident and even cocky but not that extreme kind of cocky where it is a turn off from the get go.
I am really enjoying Tessa Bailey; she knows how to write. I am looking forward to reading many more of her books and falling in love with the male characters. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~(less)

Her characters are always funny with a nice twist of evilness (this is the “Neighbors from Hell series.”) The crap that Rory and Connor do to each other is priceless. What made me smile were that all these attacks on Rory were because Connor just couldn’t come out and say that he loved her. He was willing to torture her than admit his feelings. As they grew up, Connor dealt with any man that ever treated Rory wrong quietly. Many boyfriends were scared away because they were not good enough for her.
Mathewson gives great examples of why the town has forged together to keep Rory and Connor apart. The very first chapter is a break down of some of the rotten games that they have played on each other and how the town was pulled into the mess. Rules were made that they were not allowed in the same shop, class, or restaurant so that peace could be possible. So Connor decides that they will be a couple so that all the bans will be dropped. I thoroughly enjoyed reading how awkward (but oh so right) they felt in the beginning trying to be a couple but then it became second nature, it became hot!
I love friend to lover plots but I LOVE Mathewson’s enemy to lover plots even more. The way Mathewson writes their interactions together makes their love more passionate, more intense, and more needed. They harbored all those negative feelings for each other in the past years that when they get together, things explode.

This was an captivating chapter of The Arrangement Series Novella. Avery and Sean have nothing, but trouble where the two are concerned. After the near fatal ending of Novella 4 I had no idea where this would go. Not knowing if I would Sean in this book had me chomping at the bit to get my hands of this book. From the start my concerns were laid to rest, but the story was far from over. The steam continuing to boil in this story, and the ending will leave you on yet another cliff hanger and the story hanging in the balance. Although, new characters from book four still cling on throughout this story and have made the future of this series even more tantalizing. I know I say this all the time, but I can’t wait to see where the story will go in Novella six. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~(less)

While I felt a few bumps and jostles alone the way; I can say that I look for to be something great. After working out the kinks with experience the only thing left is an amazing story, and even more impressive emotionally charged romance. Feral Instincts was positively addictive. Ava was just an average young woman that has been attempting to rebuild her life after the loss of her Mother, and only family. When she finds herself abducted by the a mysterious and scary man she is forced to accept the hidden underworld that she never knew exists. More importantly she now seems to be one of them. In que Teagan, (**sigh**) uber Werewolf; very bossy, very sexy, and down right amazing. As the story speeds ahead it seems Vampire and Werewolves are coming out of the wood work, and the friction between our two main characters become almost palpable. I was overwhelmed with the intensity coming out of these pages, but loved every minute of it. I can see the potential directions for more novels in this series, and anxiously awaiting reading each and every one. Every character detailed in story will leave a mark that begs to be scratched with their own story.

So I finished all of the first three part of The Arrangement last Sunday. I had to wait about a week to be able to read Part 5, and let just say that was a heck of wait. So, here I am finished with Part 5; which I must say has been the most intense yet. The first three parts seemed to be the same amount nerve racking anticipation as lustful intensity. This section was so completely random that I was beside myself. It was a great addition to the story, but it was all nerve racking anticipation and leaning more to the side of hate in the great battle of love and hate. Sean has screwed up HUGE!!!! This will not be easily overlooked which then leads to the life altering ending that I just almost did not survive. Now, NNNOOOOWWWW it appears I will be waiting until April the 1st for part 5. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I most certainly will not survive this. It is impossible for me to make through this wait after a cliff hanger like that one. This has to attempted murder I am sure of it... ~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~(less)

I have been in a string of several mediocre books, and this was just the saving grace I needed. Fight for Flight was a truly incredible story packed full of emotion and intensity. Raven and Jonah are two very different people with drastically different backgrounds, but this just may prove to be everything they need to be perfect for one another. Jonah years have been spent keeping things light and easy. Determined to never open his heart up to the chance of loss; he has made quite a reputation for himself. After the loss of his Father Jonah barricaded himself behind his brick walls of independence that will protect his heart. Raven, is like nothing we have seen. Truly a unique character, she is a mechanic that just happens to fall in Jonah’s lap for his latest restoration. Only from the start these two characters are drawn to each other like moths to a flame, and I was easily absorbed into their story. I must comment on how nice it was to have a romance that was not your usual “I Love Him, I Love Him Not” scenario; from the first obstacle Raven is an open book for Jonah. Misunderstandings are overcome easily by these high functioning characters that think it through logically. Further supporting my love of these characters originality they are honest, trustworthy, and true reflection of love; whatever they have to overcome is done together. This alones takes this story to a much higher level than lust and attraction; forming the deep seeded bonds of love and dedication from fans. I see Jonah and Raven start out this story as two buds, and as the story progresses they bloom to the most vibrant and beautiful blossoms that I have ever seen. With the perfect mixture of action and emotion this will story will suck in board range of fans, and hold them on the edge of their seats. I know I say this all the time, but I absolutely cannot wait for book two. This next story will actually shift and follow Blake’s story; that might add I have fallen in love with over this story with the help of Raven. I don’t like to prematurely label books and authors, and with this being my first experience with this author I cannot certainty prediction, so let’s just say if the next is half as good as this book it will be amazing. If her first novel can be such an incredible masterpiece it will be a treat to read anything more she has to offer. This debuting MMA Series will be one of the BookWhisperer’s followed series, and be on the lookout for more details of upcoming books here. In complete honesty, this debuting novel was the probably top five books that I have read this year; definitely worth your time and money. BOOKWHISPERER FAVORITE!!~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~(less)

I couldn’t sleep one night and started this at 2am and just continued reading until it was time to get up for work. Ginger had just the right amount of sweetness to her edginess that made it easy for a reader to like her character. Derek on the other hand is just all male, all hot, and all possessive. All qualities that I love.
This book made me fan myself because it got so steamy. There were so many parts that just made my mouth drop open. 1.) The part when he gets her in his car (after his work function) and what he says to her. 2.) The bathroom scene (after the car ride home.) 3.) The bar scene. I mean, Derek just ruined me for real men.
However, there is more to this book then just the steamy parts. Ginger and her little sister Willa are trying to make a new life for themselves and Derek is slowly learning how they have been able to do so. I found myself really cheering for Ginger and Willa to succeed because of their horrible past. I wanted for them to continue to achieve their goals and not let the past catch up with them. But what kind of story would this be if it didn’t have some drama attached to this hot story?! ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~(less)

Kristen Ashley is a BookWhisperer Favorite author. Her talent for create intoxicating stories never cease to amaze me. Tyra and Tack are extraordinary character. For the duration of this series Tack has been loved. From his first encounter with Gwen in book one; readers have rooted for him to find a match. Finally Motorcycle Man offers that match, but it is nothing that I had anticipated. He was ruthless and crude from the start. Never in the past four books have I experienced this compassionless character that was in the first half of this book. As the story unfolds, so do the layers of Tack leaving me yet another incredibly wonderful man. I loved the character development that allows readers to see every action and expression to in a new light as the story progresses. On the opposite side of that coin was a very unique Tyra. After meeting three different woman in each novel this one had the biggest variation. It was difficult to predict her character, but I believe that she was perfect for Tack’s character. She is strong, dependent, and intriguing. Motorcycle Man was a bit darker than the first three installments, and Tyra was perfect for a dangerous storyline. As she grows in the personally, and within the club I loved the fellowship and power that it adds to the story. The inner working of this club is a world so unique from the remainder of the series making it easy to see an unveiling of direction for a future series. I can not wait to jump deeper in the Chaos world, and see where On The Wind will take us yet again. Kirsten Ashley is superb author. There is never enough to say about the stories and worlds that see can create. It is one that must be experienced, and readers will love every bit of her journeys. Keep them coming Ashley, we are fans for LIFE!!!! ~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~(less)

What I really liked about it is that the main character Zoe was not the average written character; she was kind of chubby and plain. I feel like a lot of books are either about gorgeous super-model female characters or just plain Janes but they have the body underneath baggy clothing. Mathewson wrote about a normal woman and the day-to-day struggles. Zoe has a crappy neighbor (Trevor), she has a weight issue, and just lost her job (not in that order.)
This book had hilarious moments because both main characters liked to pick on each other and because the Bradfords were a funny family. But this book also showed an acquaintance-ship turn into a friendship, a friendship (after many hours spent together) turn into a relationship, and that relationship turned into a sweet love. And as the reader, you take that ride with them. You see that Trevor hangs out with Zoe because she interesting and fun but slowly he starts really seeing her in a different light that changes his whole opinion on her. She becomes his every thought. I love reading about whirl-wind relationships that happen in a second but I also love reading about relationships that take their time and really connect; that is what this book was about.
I am ready to start the third book in the series and I hope I love it as much as I have the first two. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~(less)

Now I must admit that my expectations for his story were totally off base, but the story was still incredible. Mara just does not see herself as everyone else does, and I was constantly rooting for her to overcome this past. The ready made family was PERFECT. Billie and Billy grabbed my heart from the start, and I fell even more in love with Mitch for his immediate acceptance. Every situation just pushed in further and further in PERFECTION! This was drastically different from Mystery Man, and his character was not what I had anticipated. As I have said several times Kristen Ashely is the BOMB! Her wonderfully talented novels offer a rollercoaster of emotion that readers will NEVER want to end, but all good things must come to an end. Relax though, because that just means Tack is right around the corner. YYyyuummm!~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~
I believe I speak for both Jackie and I when I say we have a love for Kristen Ashley and the characters that she willingly offers us to love. She never disappoints and always presents with a solid read.
Law Man is one of those solid reads. Mitch Lawson gets wrapped up in Mara's life and does so willingly and hottly! But Mara doesn't want his help at first and sheshies away from him and that involves Mitch picking Mara up and holding her and explaining to her that what he wants is what he wants and he wants her! Just a side note: I would have said yes when he first walked into the door.
Also, this book is filled with emotional moments between Mara and Mitch, Mara and her family, Mara , Mitchell, and the children. Oh, don't even get me started on the children! Too cute!
They filled the story with such love and vulnerability.
And then comes the love between Mara and Mitch (sigh) and most importantly the love between Mitch and the kids. Nothing made my heart flutter more than when he sat Billy/Bud down and explained to him that he was going to take care of him and his sister, that he loves their Aunt Mara and will take care of her, and that he loves Billy and Billie (double sigh.)

Take a look a that cover if these to aspects don’t catch your eye; just let me tell you that the story will surpass both. Jett and Brooke are both explosive and genuine characters that will have you drool for more. This debuting novel will definitely make J.C. Reed a common name among adult romance lovers. Her style and talent left me amazed when I realized I was reading her first novel. The divine ability to create characters so complex is impossible for some seasoned authors. Brooke was easily a open book; being that the story is told in first person this was understandable. Jett, on the other hand, was left a mystery. As Brooke sorts through the “who is Jett Mayfield?”, so are the readers. Even more impressive was that this characters seems to transform over the pages, and never leaves readers with the ability to nail down this character. Recently, I had the pleasure of reading The Arrangement Book 1-4 by H.M. Ward, and this author reminds me so much of her style and spontaneity. Unfortunately, readers that like a nice and tidy ending are going to hate this story. Fortunately, I am not one of those readers. The cliff hanger ending left me flipping the page with vigor only to find nothing on the next page. Reed twisted me up in knots, and left me with a smile and promise for another book. SYL is a story that will leave you begging for more, and a instantaneous fan for the series from the first glimpse. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~(less)
I’m going to give you some background before I start this review. I have waited for this book. I have counted down the days and waited, patiently. Yes...moreI’m going to give you some background before I start this review. I have waited for this book. I have counted down the days and waited, patiently. Yesterday morning I got to work and emailed Jackie (who has given me the opportunity to write for her blog) about how much I loved Jennifer Armentrout and how I wanted to ask her to be my wife…in the sense of she will write books and I will read them. That is as far as that marriage will go and it is because I love her writing so much. I love the characters that she brings to life, the plots, and just the fun tone her books take. Within minutes of sending Jackie the email (of me confessing my love for Armentrout) she calls me to tell me that Wait for You came out early and she got it for me. I danced, in my office chair, in front of my co-workers (they know I love books so I don’t think they judged me too harshly.)
Alright, now that I have all of that out, let’s start the review.
I read the teasers that Armentrout uploaded and I was in love with the characters and plot already, just by those few paragraphs. But in no way did I see the actual plot in those teasers. I was so surprised what these pages actually held inside.
Avery was a great character; I felt that she was working on being strong (and continually getting stronger) and just fit with Cam. But I will say that Cam stole the show. His character was so absolutely lovable, free, cocky, and just plain awesome! You can’t go wrong with him; everything about his is perfect. How Cam constantly made an appearance was so brilliantly written that I just sat in my room and giggled while reading. Avery and Cam were too dang cute together!
However, this book isn’t all about giggling; it has a darker side than expected from other Armentrout books that I have read. It was nice to see how Armentrout took on a sensitive subject and worked her magic with it.
Jennifer L. Armentrout, will you book marry me? (NOT IN A CREEPY WAY…I want to make that clear.) ~BookWhisperer Reviewer MC~(less)

After reading the book description it was a MUST HAVE! So, for any book after such an intense wait there is only one question. Was it worth it? HELL YES!!!
Reaper's Property is best described with these independent words: biker gang, alpha male, chemistry, no non sense, dangerous, determined, all consuming, and HHHHOOOOTTTTT! This was an incredible read, but truth be told there is just something that sells me about a man that is determined to conquer. Even more importantly the reason for his determination to conquer is all due to him discovering that person in the world that he wants to cherish. Tell me that is not the sexiest thing in the WORLD! (Breathe in, Breath out SLOWLY) Horse is a very direct and intimidating character. It is fine line with this character, and readers will not find him easily predictable. Marie comes into the story after leaving her abusive ex-husband. Her brother welcomes her with open arms with the promise of protection and safety. Her abundant gratitude has her blinded; even accepting his dangerous and questionable lifestyle when she finds his ties to the Reaper Motorcycle Club. Hence, Horse. This is where you que the mysterious music, and in struts fine specimen of man. Everything about this book is taboo. Shouldn't be so hot, but it absolutely is!!! This is an awesome debut for this series, and I am instant fan. If you are a readers looking for something powerful, dark, and a captivating story this is the book for you. No pink sparkles and fairy wings, but rather the dark and twisted with something safe and comforting at the end. I can't wait for more.... I have to say that my favorite quotes in this book would have to be the several times Horse says, "I'm Gonna F*** You Now." and "Marie Caroline Jensen, will you do me the honor of being my permanent B****?". Horse is not your average man, and what you see is what you get. These two comments are great. One, shows the humor in his dry character. While two shows his inability to bullshit. Straight and to the point, exactly what he wants, and exactly what he is going to get.

After the end of Motorcycle Man I could think of nothing else, but getting my hands on this book. The idea of a story with Shy and Tabby was almost too much to bare. Even worse the story begins, and it is not relentless love conquers all. The heart break that surrounds the two of them for years was terrible. Misunderstanding, tragedy, and anger kept them apart for so long, but when they finally come together it makes it all worth it. This was not the typically Ashley story that I have come to expect. The biggest difference was the level of action intensity in this book. While it was action filled it was not your usual tragedy that results in a desperate action from main characters. The action of this novel filled more detail to the characters rather than a defining moment for the couple. Shy is a bad ass biker with a dark past, and when we reach the bulk of this story this concept really becomes a reality. Through it all I can't help, but love his character regardless of his nature. Tabby is a little backward, and and she knows this. So it is interesting to see her sort through her emotions, and her analyzing of every detail really allowed readers to step into her shoes throughout. Own the Wind built and built, but just when we hit the crest it STOPS! I know there is more to come, and even though the next novel will spotlight Hop and Lanie, there will still be more to learn about Shy and Tab. It is just the abrupt ending without the fee fall of suspense was missing from this story. Please don't underestimate the power of this author; it was still a truly exceptional book with the change. Kirsten Ashley is known by many as an incredible author, and every time I read one of her stories I remember just exactly why. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~(less)

Drew had managed to screw everything up royally. Dead Man's Bluff picks up two years following the conclusion of Book one. Two years of pain and grief for not only the lost love, but her life that been turned upside down. The only bright side currently would be the hunky doctor that is appears Megan is engaged too. Although, underhandedly they will find themselves in the same place all over again. This could be proof they are two of the most unlucky people in the world, or it just might be fates way of giving them a second chance. This book as incorporates Christopher, aka Mr. Blackstone, that I just happen to be quite fond of. I must say that it is obvious that their will be a book three, and the turn of events in this book have been eager to jump right in it. Poker Face was an incredible good book, but I have to say that I liked this book more. Maybe it was the ability to tug at my heart strings, or maybe it is the fact that with Megan situation is was not all about lust and love; but also realistic situations of life. This was incredibly good, and I can not wait for more. (less)

I loved The Proposition and remember wanting to build a time machine so that I could leap to the date when The Proposal was going to be released and I didn’t have to wait for it. I was so ready to start this book and just be in as much as love with it as I was the first, but unfortunately, I wasn’t. Honestly, I can’t really explain why. I have some theories: maybe I waited too long between the books and had a hard time connecting with the characters again, or maybe it was just me this time and something didn’t click. Whatever it was, I just didn’t feel the same while reading. And I feel so bad that I didn’t connect with it. I really, really do.
I still love Emma and Aidan. You know from the moment they got together in The Proposition that they were meant to be together for life. This book allowed me to see the strain on their relationship from Aidan’s inability to commit and how far he was willing to go to get Emma back. It was so sweet. He truly stepped up in this book. And I loved Emma’s pregnancy hormones throughout the book. One minute she wanted Aidan and the next she hated his guts. I thought Pesh’s arrival was a great addition to the plot line because he made both Emma and Aiden realize what they truly wanted. Plus, he was just a great guy. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~(less)

All of the Mobster series were incredibly short stories, but this one just seemed to speed past so much quicker. I love Antonio and Megan they have addictive chemistry and their stories are guaranteed to be action packed. I have been awaiting this third installment for months, and I can't not believe it was over that quick. Even more importantly it is the last of the series. I was so excited to see Megan taking a more active role in Antonio's world through this book. She seems to embrace the lifestyle that she never knew she had, and conquers all of her fears. I LOVED IT! There is nothing better to say. Rest assured that Amy Rachiele is not letting us down although this storyline may be done, but the journey if far from over. After the obvious building of attachment for Vito and Erin over the past two books; I just discovered that Rachiele's next book will be their story. I can not wait for that book. So here is to the months in waiting while I will be ever so patiently waiting.~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~(less)

Tear has been my second experience at reading this authors works, and it was just as impressive as the first. She knows how to create a story that will absorb you into its pages, and captivate readers with it intensity and suspense. Tear was just that type of read. Natalee is a young beautiful woman; witty and quick that will keep you on your toes. I loved every minute of following her character, and was anxious to see her find her every happiness. This young woman was just peddling through life until the unexpected appearance of two very beautiful yet very mysterious young men. While Natalee efforts of avoiding both new comers proves fruitless; little did she expect them to change her life forever. This is a story of secrets, loyalty, and love. Every minute will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page, and leave you a fan anxious to start book two. I can not wait for more of these series. While I was happy with the ending it is imperative that I see both brothers find their Happy Ending. ~BookWhisperer Reviewer JO~(less)
