Bachelorette Party #2.5
Mixed into Love
Dane Edwards thought he’d be in town for less than two days.
It was supposed to be a quick business trip to help a friend decide if a club was a good investment. Then he spots the blonde bombshell behind the bar, and all his plans fly out the window.
It’s always been easy for Addilyn Johnson to tell customers no.
Dating guys from the bar is something she’s never been tempted to do. Until Dane. With a little nudge in his direction from a bachelorette, she finds herself saying yes… and winds up with more than she bargained for!
Although Mixed Into Love is a crossover between my Bachelorette Party series and Fiona Davenport’s Yeah, Baby series, it can be read as a standalone. Each book in the Bachelorette Party series features a different couple.

Rochelle Paige
111 books2,753 followersI absolutely adore reading - always have and always will. My friends growing up used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.
I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream as long as you are willing to work for it.
When I told my mom that my new year's resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me "About time!"

As far as introductions go, this one was a slam dunk. I've never read anything from Rochelle Paige, but if this book was anything to go by, this writing duo has found a new fan in me. Dane was certifiably hot with enough Alpha tendencies to have the ladies panting. Addilyn was extremely sweet and the perfect virgin for Dane to conquer and mark as his own. This couple was incredibly endearing, the plot was light and entertaining, and the conflict was easily dismissed. This story was insta-love and hot sex at its best!

I can’t say how much I’ve been looking forward for the rest of this series, so when Rochelle announced it as part of this launch I was beyond excited!!!
Of course I devour everything she writes and am always keeping an eye for her next release, and Mixed into Love is the perfect example why Rochelle keeps a secure place on my auto read author list, because it sure was a delicious little read.
Dane and Addilyn’s short story gave me everything I love about Rochelle’s work, an insta-love/lust treat, with a perfect, possessive, obsessed, protective and caring alpha that is lost to his heroine from the first moment he sees her and from then on she become the center of his world, treating her like the precious gift that she is. Of course the sex scenes spice up the tale and when Dane revealed his dirty talk?! Wow, like I said, perfect Rochelle Paige’s brand of goodness! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Another hit from Rochelle Paige!
I loved the story! For me, Rochelle Paige delivers what I want in a book.
OTT alpha- check
Instalove- check
Likable heroine-check
no cheating- check
No ow/om drama - check
Steamy sex scenes -check
Honestly, what's not to adore. This story was no exception. I loved Dane and Addilyn. Dane took one look at her and he was head over heals. He took every measure to insure she would be his!
My only complaint was I wish there was more from the epilogue. It was not far into the future and I needed more :(

Totally over the top alpha who goes after exactly what he wanted. Claim, Conquer and Cherish. What a steamy installment that made me smile and sigh all the way through.
That's why my girl Rochelle is on my #AutoRead list.

I read the first book in this series after getting hooked on the blurb and I loved it so then I had to wait to read the second one but then I saw this one and I one clicked it but I had to read them in order so I held off reading this one. But once I finished Checked Into Love I wanted to stay in Rochelle Paige’s world so I jumped straight into this one.
And I am such a freaking idiot. I had no idea it was part of the Sex, Vows & Babies series until I got to the authors notes at the end and I had no idea that that was A Kindle Worlds series based on Fiona Davenport's Yeah, Baby or I would have been all over it. And now I have a new book obsession to exercise my one click finger on.
So the characters from this book are very vaguely mentioned in Checked Into Love so there is no reason to hold off and read them in order. But I did enjoy it especially since I had just put it down so I could match up the over laps, which would also work if you read them the other way around.
This story was a massive case of insta love with an OTT alpha. And as is common in these cases there was the usual breeding subject thrown in and I freaking loved it. Dane was so protective and possessive and everything I love in one of these books. Not to take anything away from Addilyn since he was so sweet and didn’t have any of the usual annoying hang up heroines tend to have that drive me insane.
I seriously enjoyed every word of it and I can’t wait for the rest of this series.

Short and sweet. My kind of book where the H/h are together the whole time. I loved it.
November 15, 2017
First I must say I absolutely love Rochelle Paige, she is incredibly talented with an endless imagination but she really needs to use Google before she writes stuff. The other day I read Protecting Charlotte and she messed up saying Sony owned Xbox and in this book it's after midnight and the H and h go to Chick-Fil-'A and eat inside when they close at 10pm. I know I'm a nit picking bitch but I can't help it little things like that drive me crazy. Dane Edwards is 30 years old and he owns a very successful bar in Chicago. A friend from college has asked him to come to Atlanta and check out a bar he's interested in buying. Dane only planned on being in town for 36 hours but that all changes when he arrives at Club Cache and meets the lovely bartender. Addilyn is 20 years old, a student at Georgia State University and she's majoring in Hospitality. That's why she's working as a bartender at Club Cache because she needs four hundred hours of work experience before graduation. As soon as Dane talks to Addilyn he knows his life is about to change forever. Dane was awesome and I loved the surprise cameo from Xander Gray (Safe With Me, Baby).

4 stars. This is a sweet, sexy novella set in Fiona Davenport's Sex, Vows and Babies Kindle World. This is Dane and Addilyn's story. Dane is a bar owner in Chicago. He flies down to Atlanta to help a friend decide whether to buy a bar. When Dane walks into the bar, he sees Addilyn and it is love at first sight for him. He sweeps her off her feet and convinces her to spend the week with him. They play tourist in Atlanta and have lots of sexy times. Dane and Addilyn fall in love and get their HEA in the process.
Addilyn and Dane were a great match. Addilyn is young and innocent but she doesn't fight Dane's love for her. Dane was a hot alpha, sweet and protective. This novella was on the longer side so we got to see their relationship develop every step of the way at a pace that was believable. I enjoyed that the book was set in Atlanta. It was fun recognizing sights that I have visited before too.
Overall, I really enjoyed this short, sizzling read and I look forward to more from this fun, sexy series!

Dane and Addilyn were a super sweet couple. He see's her working in the bar he's thinking about buying. He knows right away, but wants to convince her. After walking in on her roommate in a "compromising" position, he takes her home with him. They spend the week together hanging out during her spring Brea. Dane doesn't waste a second. He convinces her to get a place with him and is trying to get her pregnant. He's older and knows she's the one. They are just a really sweet couple. This was a insta-love safe read....my favorite kind of book.

Loved this! So sweet and sexy. Hot alpha hero and virginal feisty heroine!

Dane fulled out all the stops to gain access to the sexy half pint bartender.... Going as far as purchasing it at midnight. Oh, how a weekend can turn into a lifetime of fun and celebrations.
This was sexy, cute, protective, and just an all out adventure from beginning to end. Oh, don't forget about the special apoearance.

"You in town for business or pleasure?"
"My trip was supposed to be business, but now I'm thinking it's going to be all about pleasure."
What happens when you have a hot guy wanting to spend an entire week with a girl he just met?
You get an epic love story!
Dane is a man on a mission.
That mission being seducing Addilyn.
But he doesn't have to do much, because she is just as captured with him.
"Why did you change your plans?"
"Why do you think, Addilyn?"
"Because of me? So you want to spend more time with me while you're here?"
"That's an understatement if I ever heard one."
These two had a fast and powerful attraction to each other! It was hot and sexy, and full of passion.
So much was packed into this short story! I want-I need-more of Dane and Addilyn!!
Great story from Rochelle Paige!!!

Dane is on a quick business trip to Atlanta when he walks into a bar and meets Addilyn who is a bartender. Dane is immediately drawn to Addilyn and wants to know more about her. Addilyn couldn’t believe that Dane was flirting with her. Dane is determined to get to know Addilyn better and he is given the chance for the week that is in Atlanta on business. The moment that Dane that they first kiss Dane knows that Addilyn is his and will prove that to her.
I thought this was a good read. Dane and Addilyn’s chemistry was immediate and very hot!!! Dane knows that Addilyn is the one for him from the moment that they meet at the bar and he is determined to keep her safe at all costs. I loved how Dane was very alpha and how Addilyn had was innocent but had a fiery side to her. I can’t wait to read more!!!!!!

Dane, a successful Chicago bar owner stationed, is in Atlanta doing a favor for a friend. Dane is vetting a bar said friend is thinking of purchasing. Dane figures it'll be a quick trip as he knows what to look for, however, when he sees her, his plans change very quickly.
Addilyn, a bartender, loves her job and is good at it, but she's looking forward to earning her degree in hospitality. When he walks into the bar, she knows things are going to change.
Dane immediately realizes he's met his future wife, though Addilyn starts off with the impression it's only a fling. The feelings growing between them are strong, intense, and forever. Unfortunately, they live in different states, Addilyn is months away from graduating college, and she's suddenly in danger.
Can Dane and Addilyn continue their relationship and decide where to live? What about Dane's bar? Will Addilyn obtain her degree? Can Dane keep Addilyn safe? Will these two get their HEA?
One-click now and follow along as two people are brought together by fate and discover the person they were destined for. Please keep in mind this is part of the Sex, Vows & Babies Kindle World for Fiona Davenport's Sex & Vows and Yeah, Baby series, but it isn't necessary to read those to understand the story. Though I do recommend it as they're wonderful books.

I'm going to round this one out to 3.5
I liked it, but I wanted a little bit more. They really didn't seem to get to know each other well. She never really asked him about things just accepted things as they were.

Mixed into Love by Rochelle Paige is a contribution to Fiona Davenport's Sex, Vows & Babies Kindle Worlds series. It is a crossover that merges Rochelle's Bachelorette Party series and Fiona's Yeah, Baby series. This novella can easily be read as a standalone as well. I have not read Bachelorette Party series YET, but have read every Yeah, Baby novella. The author infused Safe With Me, Baby from the Yeah, Baby series which was a bonus as it is a favorite of mine.
Rochelle did a phenomenal job setting her characters and story line. I felt giddy from the very beginning and didn't put it down until I was finished. I have always enjoyed her writing and Mixed into Love just added to my "fangirling" ways. She writes sex with ease that makes the reader melt into putty. Mixed into Love was a pefect insta-love romance between a sexy alpha writer and a young virgin. Their chemistry leaked from the pages and made you one with the characters. Dane is my kind of man - sexy, masculine, protective yet a marshmallow when it comes to the woman he wants. SWOON!!!!
I would recommend Mixed into Love to any of my fellow readers as it is an easy, quick yet totally satisfying read.

Mixed into Love was a little gem of OTT goodness. Dane walks into a bar he’s checking out for a friend when he sees the love of his life. After seconds of being in Addilyn’s presence, he’s already rearranging his life and setting things in motion to make her his.
Addilyn is one semester away from graduating college. Currently on spring break, she plans on working extra shifts to save some money. Little did she know she was about to be swept off her feet by a sexy hunk.
Dane was the typical OTT alpha: bossy, protective, possessive and dirty mouthed when it counted. He was determined to make Addilyn happy and was sure that he was the only one up for the job.
Addilyn was a sassy girl, she had some attitude to keep Dane on his toes but was ultimately sweet and nice.
With a little action (and when I say a little I mean like a tiny dew drop) lots of sexy shenanigans and OTTness going on, Mixed into Love was another total hit for me in the Fiona Davenport’s Sex, Vows and Babies KW.

Dane & Addilyn are a breath of fresh book magic and I loved their chemistry. Dane goes into a bar that he is checking out for a friend and ends up meeting the woman who will change his life-Addilyn. This story is fresh, there is immediate instalove , action, suspense and amazing LOVE—oh and the fabulous passion that comes when Dane & Addilyn are together. I found this novella to be a great story, full of life and sparks. It is a MUST READ story in the “SEX, VOWS AND BABIES “series. Dane & Addilyn make this great couple who have this connection that is felt immediately from their initial meetings and gets stronger and hotter and the story progresses. I enjoyed this novella and cannot wait to read the others in this new series.

I have been waiting SOOOOO long for a new book in the Bachelorette Party series and was seriously happy to read this great new release from Rochelle Paige.
Loved it! Plus it was a crossover with the Sex, Vows and Babies series as well so how could I go wrong? What's not to like?
Alpha hero who see's what he wants and takes charge to get it? Check! Virgin heroine who is swept off her feet? Check! Baby making galore? Check! Swoon worthy HEA? Check!!
Don't hesitate to give this one a one-click and also don't forget the first book in the Bachelorette Party series (Sucked Into Love) if you haven't read it, do!!
