Review: Falling for the Devil: Book 1 in The Gods & Monsters Trilogy

Falling for the Devil: Book 1 in The Gods & Monsters Trilogy by Isadora Brown
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Andrew comes to earth to claim Harleen's soul, a girl who had a tough life and struggles to finishes her high school with all her life issues.

Review: Basket Stuffer: An Easter Romance

Basket Stuffer: An Easter Romance by Penny Wylder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

An hot Easter romance before Easter and it's hot as summer

Penny has once again thrown her charm of writing quick reads. This book has starts with a bang... literally a 'bang'ing and ends with the same. It has everything in the book, two single parents one let down and the other betrayed by their partners. The love and instant attraction of Pippa and Bernard has been scripted with righteous amount of emotions and desire. This book also talks about women individuality and it's importance. A wonderful book in a short and steamy package.
I loved it and leaving an voluntary review for the ARC, I received.

About Two For Holding 
Savannah
I didn’t think I was missing anything. I had my son, a great career,  and a home that I’d made for both of us. One puck over the glass  at a hockey game made me realize I wanted more. The larger - than - life hockey player inserted himself into our world and I never  wanted to let him go. 
The thing is, I don’t know if I’m strong enough to keep him.
Porter
My home was on the ice, with a stick in my hand and a puck on my  tape. It took one little boy with a toothless smile and his spitfire  mother to change all that. I wanted them to be my home and I was  willing to take all the penalties necessary to make it happen.

Now I just have to convince her that we can handle it all together.

Melding three lives into one isn’t as easy as it seems, especially  with the traveling, the media, and the insecurities. Savannah and Porter have to decide whether to use  the breakaway to head to the goal or take a seat on the bench.
After all, 425 Madison Avenue is the perfect place to fall in love.

*Each story is completely standalone.
My Review
Yet another heart warming love story from the 425 madison series
The fourth book in the 425 Madison Series, Two for Holding is all about a love between a single mom and a hockey player. I just loved this story, from the beginning till the end, it was amazing. I have read few other single mom romance story where the Male protagonist first fall for the Female protagonist and later start liking the kid but in this story Porter's first attraction was Savannah's son and later his eyes falls on Savannah and their love journey starts. Really a time worth reading, I enjoyed every single page of the story and voluntarily reviewing it for the ARC, I received. 



ExcerptCopyright @ 2019 Kay Gordon  
Hamilton was spelled out across the back, right above his number. A grey C was on the front, right  above the left breast, and I knew right away it would fit me. Also in the bag was a matching jersey,  although quite a bit smaller, and I felt my heart pounding in my chest.Porter Hamilton was surprising me at every turn.Moving to my feet, I tugged off the sweatshirt I had on and pulled the jersey over my head. A slight  thrill went up my spine at the thought of wearing his name on my back. I turned to look at my friends and  held my arms out.“How does it look?”Holly gave me a thumb’s up while John nodded his head in approval.“You’re a real hockey girlfriend now.”I rolled my eyes and took my seat when our food and drinks showed up. I’d just finished off a hotdog   when a slew of skaters hit the ice for warm - ups. The crowd cheered like crazy and people pushed towards the glass, trying to get the attention of  their favorite players. My eyes found number twenty - two almost immediately. He wasn’t wearing a helmet and his eyes were laser focused on the ice as he  took several laps around the net. I watched his tall, powerful frame as he skated with purpose.That man was sexy as hell.Porter finally looked up from the ice and glanced over to where we were. A smile hit his face  instantly and he skated until he was standing at the glass in front of us, tapping on it with his stick. He  pulled a glove off one hand and crooked a finger at me.I cleared my throat and stood from my seat. He flicked his fingers again, indicating I should turn, so  I did, allowing him to see his name and number on my back. When I faced him again, a look a pride had  overtaken his features.He said something but it was so loud that I couldn’t hear what it was. I shook my head and gestured  to my ear, causing his grin to widen. He pointed to me and said it again, slower that time, making it easy  for me to read his lips.“You’re so beautiful.”My cheeks immediately blazed and I fought to keep from averting my eyes. “Thank you.”Porter just grinned again and glanced behind me to where John was standing with a look of boyish  excitement on his face. The hockey player jerked his chin at him in greeting before giving me another  grin. He held his hand up in a wave, shoved the glove back on, and turned to skate back to his team. “Wow.” Holly looked at me with wide eyes as I sat back down. “That boy has it bad.” He wasn’t the only one.

Review: The Billionaire's Accidental Baby

The Billionaire's Accidental Baby by Leslie North
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Over Friendly Ex-Employee and Money minded Ex-Boss together makes a baby
The billionaire's Accidental Baby is the first book in Billionaire and Babies series by Leslie North. Brian, the CEO of the company where Connie is working as a developer keeps on trying to become a Billionaire from a multi millionaire. He had a rough childhood and now he is trying to cross the small path to become a Billionaire. Brian and Connie both have physical attraction on each other but when Connie tries to impress Brian before an investor and it backfires making him lose the deal, he fires her. Both reach the bar separately but ends up together and leaves to his house to end up in bed.
Two months later, Brian is dating Felicia, who could help him in reaching the goal of becoming the billionaire, he proposes for both marriage(without Love) and business merge to her and she agrees. Then arrives a news for him, when Connie comes to him and says she is Pregnant.
Already Brian was struggling between his goal and feeling for Connie but he decides to chose his goal over Connie, at first. With Felicia, they make a NDA, but meeting and being with Connie for her pregnancy issues, makes him more confused on his decision. How he finally comes to his sense is the remaining story.
I received an ARC and voluntarily reviewing it. To be honest, I didn't like the story, very much. Neither Connie nor Brian, ready to fight for what they really want. Brian, being a jerk as he agrees by himself at the near of the story, chooses his billionaire dream but even Connie didn't show much interest in expressing her feeling for him. Their was no seriousness in their love story, everything seems to be more casual. Suddenly Brian jumps to chose Connie, when he finds Felicia betrays him (business wise). It would have been more truthful when Brian chooses Connie before knowing about Felicia's doing. This is what I felt about the book, when I read it. I'm giving only 3 stars for the book.

Review: Torn: A Dark Captive Romance

Torn: A Dark Captive Romance by Stella Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seems like this is gonna be more darker than the previous books of Stella Hart
When I received the ARC from Stella hart, I was very excited to read and review this book. The prequel consists of four chapters completely in the past two in late nighties and two in 2010. It was pleasing to read the first chapter to read it from a seven years old girl's POV about her first crush, the next was terrifying to read about and the fourth was normal. But the third where the part of how woman are treated really irritated me, like hell. It was not New Eden, it was New Hell. I hated Prophet Jacob more than I hated Tobias King of Dark Dynasty. I'm really waiting to read how Mason saves Jolie from the Hell called New Eden in the upcoming books of Original Sin.
PS: Stella Hart is really good in naming the communities in her series. The Circle (Heartbreaker), Crown and Dagger (Dark Dynasty) and now New Eden (Original Sin)

Review: My First Daddy: A Dark Daddy Romance

My First Daddy: A Dark Daddy Romance by B. B. Hamel
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
An Older Man Younger woman romance in the Dark Daddies Series by BB Hamel. This book was super hot in the collection. It deals with the dark romance between Avery, a young virgin and Julian, experienced older man who was Best friend with Avery's father. A age gap of 20 years, they never had the desire before, until they meet for the first time after Avery had grown up. Julian wanted to offer her a job after knowing her current life situation but offer more than her thought.
Too hot to read in place where started already and too warm for the places where the summer yet to start. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of the book.

ExcerptCopyright @ 2019 Allie York 
“When you signing up? Women love a chef.” My best friend Derek is the back manager of  Amore and got me the interview as head chef. Tonight, he gets to be both managers since the front  manager called in sick. Sick is code for his new girlfriend is visiting from upstate. Mike gets sick every  third Saturday, almost religiously.         Derek nudges me, and I remember that he asked a question, “Sign up?”         “Match Me. It’s where I met Callie. I also met Claire on there,” Derek tips his head at our staff, “Clint is  talking to some woman on there too. You need to get out there. Enjoy the finer things the big apple has  to offer.” I only roll my eyes. I didn’t come to New York to date. I came to work in a new environment and  get some better kitchen experience. One of the female servers watches Derek and I talk, trying to be  discreet, but it’s no secret that she’s hot for Derek. Even my player best friend knows better than to mix  business and pleasure. Although that may be his only rule when it comes to women. Sharing a bedroom  wall with him proves that point.         “I’m not signing up for a dating app.” I watch the crew start to ease toward the door, mentally preparing  for our shift.         “Look at it like a hookup app. None of these women want to get married, if they did, they wouldn’t waste  time with this shit.” Derek waves his black phone in front of my face, “Since when are you against getting  laid?”         “You know I’m not against it, it’s just not my goal in life.” I shrug. Call me old fashioned but I can’t stand  our culture sometimes. I’m a commitment guy, not around for hookups.         “You could still make it a priority, or just an option.” Derek leans back against the wall, looking smug with  his argument. He has a point. I make enough money to take a girl out and having someone to talk to  besides Derek’s dog would be nice. When he’s home, he has a date over, so I have taken over all of  Dozer’s care, but that doesn’t mean I want to be the guy who sits at home with the dog. Although, Dozer  is a great listener.         “Well…” I begin.         “You are so easy,” Derek shakes his head and taps my phone in my pocket, “Match Me is the app. Put  your profession on there as often as possible. Women love a chef. You cook, they reward you for it, I  promise.” Derek bumps my shoulder and I start the app download.  

Review Swiping Right to find Mr. RightJust Swipe Right, the third book in the 425 Madison Avenue by Allie York deals about the common decision making issues in finding the true partner in the current dating app based love life of a Couple. Eliza is a columnist and a single for all over eight months, her sister Piper, creates her profile on Match Me to find her a new date. Though hesitant in the beginning, Eliza gets herself involved in the app and starts talking to guys and meeting them. Eventually, Murphy, a chef who is now single for over eleven months creates a profile on the same Match me dating app by his friend, Derek's insistence. He too swipe right on few profiles and start meeting up with girls.More then a man created app, Eliza and Murphy meets by God created destiny where both cross their in many occasions including a date with someone else. Eliza also meets Stuart, an CEO and start dating with him before Murphy lands on her eligible match. Eliza dates both men at the same time but gets close with Murphy emotionally and physically compared to Stuart. Both men knew she is dating them both simultaneously and both want her for themselves alone. Who is the right person for Eliza and Who she picks at last and How she finds he is the right one is the story.I loved this book, it had clearly dealt with how today's generation struggling in choosing between two people in the era of dating app. I enjoyed and hence leaving an voluntarily review.
