REVIEW – SOMETHING SO RIGHT by Natasha Madison

19859591

SYNOPSIS:

The moment everything changed didn’t happen in that cliché rockets-red-glare kind of way, it happened in the form of a waking nightmare. I caught my husband, my high-school sweetheart, the father of my children, balls deep in a sordid affair.
That was when I gave up on men and love.
I didn’t count on the NHL’s golden boy, the beautiful, arrogant Cooper Stone turning my life and my hockey rink upside down.

My kids are why I wake up in the morning.

Hockey is what Cooper breathes for.

We’re from different worlds and places in our lives but when our hearts collided something so wrong and different turned into something so right.

*****Dee’s Review*****

4 ~Alpha Male~ Stars****

A hot Hockey Star, a strong independent woman, tons of heat and sexual chemistry. You better be ready for Something So Right because this book will leave you panting…

Parker is a divorced mother of two. She married her high school sweetheart and got her heart broken when she discovered he was having an affair. After that, she’s lost all hope about ever loving again.

Ever since Parker took control over it, the business has been thriving. One of her new business ventures for the rink has been a rehab for hockey players. She helps professional players get back in shape, after injuries.

Parker loves her life, but there is something missing, even if she doesn’t know what it is. The minute that hockey superstar Cooper Stone walks into the doors of her rink, she is about to find out what exactly she has been missing, and her life is about to change forever…

Cooper’s life is Hockey. He is sexy, and also very cocky. Cooper and Parker don’t instantly like each other, but the lust will hit them so hard, they will have no choice than to stop and take notice of what is happening between them.

Copper is a total alpha male, he knows what he wants, and he goes and gets it, and of course he wants Parker. He understands she’s been hurt in the past, but he needs to make her his, and he’s willing to do everything he can to show her what real love looks like, but that doesn’t mean it will be easy.

This story is very sexy and heartwarming. Parker’s kids added so much more depth to an already wonderful plot. Not a lot of angst, but a lot of steam, Natasha Madison’s debut novel will sure win the hearts of many readers, that are looking for a hot romance.

REVIEW – ONE by Jewel E. Ann

CoverOne copy

SYNOPSIS:

Lake Jones is a cover girl for cutting-edge prosthetic legs, a binge-watcher of Netflix, known to spy on her neighbor through her door’s peephole, and fond of laser games with her hairless cat. She’s also a bit sexually-frustrated.

Until …

God bestows a breath of mercy upon her in the form of Minnesota’s NFL starting quarterback. But this gift is no stranger. Lake met Cage Monaghan three years earlier.

It was one day.
One moment.
One kiss that resurrected her dreams of finding love.

His dimpled smile distracts from his imperfections, which include: a love for country music, fishing, and a feline-hating girlfriend.

When life finally gives them their chance, it’s a humorous and heart-wrenching journey to find their place in the world.

“We would be Cage and Lake. We would be unpredictable. We would be reckless. We would give normality the middle finger.”

***This book is a standalone. However, it is HIGHLY recommended that any readers who have not, but may consider, reading the Jack & Jill Series, do so before reading this book. It contains spoilers to Jack & Jill.

Jewel E Ann became one of my MUST READ authors since I read Undeniably You last year. Her writing is intoxicating. She has created some of the most incredible book boyfriends that not many can rival. ONE is a spin-off of the ”Jack & Jill”series. The main characters met in Dawn of Forever and the little scene that they share definitely had us readers wanting more of Cage and Lake’s story! Well, all I can say is that you will not be disappointed with the journey Jewel takes these two characters on. I find myself still sighing over all things Cage Monaghan.

Lake Jones, little sister of Luke from the ”Jack & Jill” series has recently moved to Minnesota, with her hairless cat, Trzy. She needed to start fresh somewhere that didn’t have all the painful reminders of her past life before the tragic car accident that resulted in the death of her fiancé and the loss of her leg. She works as a tester of prosthetic legs for the scientist that creates them. For the most part, she’s happy with her life, but she’s been going through a long dry spell in the romance department. Lake still mourns the loss of her fiancé, but she also hasn’t been able to forget the man she met three years ago while on a mission to help her brother, Luke, find his fiancé, Jessica. Although they only spent a couple hours together, it left a lasting impact on Lake. Cage was able to take up space in her heart and she found it impossible to let him go.

Luckily for Lake, her newest neighbor happens to be a Pro-NFL player for the Minnesota King’s and during a house party, she comes face to face with the man who’s been the focus of all her fantasies, Cage Monaghan. Cage is currently the new Quarterback for the Minnesota King’s and his performance on the field is guaranteeing a Super Bowl win. When they bump into each other, there’s no denying the attraction is still quite strong between them.

For me, it was Cage who made this book amazing. I did love the moments spent with their families, especially with Luke & Jessica, but for the most part, it was Cage that stole my heart! His love for Lake seemed limitless. I loved that he never saw her disability as a flaw and that Lake was complete perfection in his eyes. Even his jealous tendencies were adorable to me.

Lake’s vulnerability, for the most part, was endearing. I did love her ability to laugh in the face of adversity and also her tender side. Her scenes with little Shayna really tugged at the heartstrings.

The romance between the two almost seems like it’s insta-love, but you have to remember Cage and Lake met years ago and that it only took a few hours to develop a strong attraction towards each other. The love between Cage and Lake is beyond intense. I was almost surprised at how for the most part the story seemed to be very low on drama. But then we get to the 90% mark and I felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest!! I couldn’t breathe!!! This was going to make or break my love for this book!!! Jewel really knows how to literally pull the rug out from under you and nearly drive you to drink!! I do enjoy books that torture me a bit because if everything flows too easily in a story without any major conflict involved, I tend to lose interest quickly.

ONE is a standalone, but if you haven’t read the ”Jack & Jill’series, I highly recommend that you do. For starters, it was an AMAZING series and most importantly, Lake and Cage meet in the third book and you’ll want to experience that part of their history. You’ll understand why this book had to be written.

ONE is available now. Be sure to one-click!!

LIVE – VEILED by Karina Halle

 

veiled available now

 

 

Veiled AMAZONFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Lie and The Pact comes a new romance that will test your limits and leave you breathless.

Death.

It’s something that Ada Palomino has always known so well, having grown up in a house of horrors, surrounded by a family plagued by ghosts and demons and things that go bump in the night.

But after the sudden and tragic death of her mother two years ago, death has never felt so personal.

Or so close.

Now eighteen, Ada is trying to move on with her life and the last month of summer holds nothing but sunshine and promises with her first year at a Portland design school just around the bend.

That is until her increasingly violent and realistic dreams, dreams of other worlds, of portals and veils where her mother is tortured and souls bleed for mercy, start to blend into reality. Ada has to lean on her older sister, Perry, to try and make sense of it all but even then, she’s never felt more alone.

Then there’s Jay. Tall, handsome and deeply mysterious, Jay would be just another stranger, a familiar face on the bus, if it wasn’t for the fact that Ada has met him before.

Every night.

In every single dream.

And the more that Ada is drawn to him in both worlds, the more she’s in danger of losing everything.

Including her heart.

And her very soul.

Veiled-3D-bookThen, out of nowhere:

“You looked beautiful tonight, by the way.”

Oh jeez. Be still my fucking heart.

I try and swallow, his words, the sincerity in his voice rocking my world off-balance. “Which part? When the power went out or when Jacob went upstairs to fight a demon?” I joke. But I joke because I’m feeling this a little too much.

“All of it. You know why I call you Princess?” he asks, his tone graver than before, like he’s letting me in on a very deep secret.

“Because I’m a spoiled brat?”

“Because you’re beautiful.”

Well that shut me up. The sentence hangs in the air, larger than life.

He clears his throat and goes on and I have to fight against the urge to roll over and face him. “You have this way about you. You don’t see it. But I do. Like you’re born royalty. The way you hold yourself. Your walk. The face of an angel.”

Butterflies take flight in my gut, spreading through my veins until my whole body feels like its floating. “Why are you being so nice to me? Am I going to die?”

He laughs softly. “I don’t know why I’m saying these things. Just seemed like the things to say. You’re destined for something great, Ada, I know this. And it’s an honor to help see you through it.”

His words cascade down on me like ashes from a fire. Where they land, I’m ignited.

Jay thinks I’m beautiful.

And more than that, he believes in me.

Silence settles over us, stealing time. I hear him breathing in the dark, steady as a heartbeat. He might even be sleeping.

But I can’t even begin to shut down. My entire body, from the top of my scalp, down to my toes, is buzzing with heat and electricity. It’s like everything I felt for him before, everything I try to ignore, is coming out in full force, responding to his words, to his body so close to mine. I can feel the warmth at my back, sinking into my spine, just from his presence only.

I’m starting to have feelings for him. Not just in a he’s a giant hulking beast who’s here to protect me from the underworld way. But real feelings, slowly creeping into my heart, day by day.

The thought is terrifying in the same way that demons are terrifying.

They both might take possession of me.

They both might ruin me.

And I’m not sure how much of me I’ll have left.

 

 

 

 

QUESTIONS ABOUT VEILED

Q: Is this YA?

A: No. The main character is 18 and there is sex, crude language and violence in the book. It is recommended for mature teens or 18 and up.

Q: Is there a cliffhanger?

A: Nope! There’s also no cheating and no love triangle (think I’ve covered the bases there!)

Q: Do I need to read the series (Experiment in Terror) that Veiled is a spinoff of first?

A: Absolutely not. Veiled stands alone. You do not need to have read the EIT series beforehand as this follows a different character (Ada Palomino) and a different storyline. However for those who have read EIT, all your favorites are in the book!

Q: Is it horror? Your other series was and I don’t handle scary very well…

A: No, it’s paranormal romance (though I promise you there are no vampires or werewolves), and while there are creepy elements to the story, it wouldn’t be classified as horror. If you can read KMM’s Fever Series or ANY urban fantasy, you’ll be fine.

REVIEW – SPINSTER? by Nikki Mathis Thompson

IMG_9540.JPG

SYNOPSIS:

In centuries past, women of a certain age are supposed to be married, if not, society begins to come up with reasons why. Frigid. Unattractive. Picky. Not enough goats in her dowry.
The sad state of affairs is, that in today’s society, things haven’t changed that much. Except maybe the goat part, well, depending on what part of the globe one resides.
Meet Tess Warner —Smart, independent, great job, great friends, full life…chronically single. Not that she’s obsessed with finding her plus one, but she’s not ruling it out either. She lives her life as she see’s fit, open to what comes her way. Little did she know a random request from an old classmate was about to come her way, a request that would put her in the path with someone from her past. Not his past, because he has no idea she existed, then or now. His past ends up being more than Tess had bargained for, making her question her no baggage code of ethics, as well as everything she thought she new about love, and letting go.
This is a story of a woman, then and now. Sexual misadventures, embarrassments, achievements, varying levels of self-esteem, and pant sizes. A humorous look at a modern woman’s plight transversing the mine field of frogs. And maybe, just maybe, colliding with the fabled, “one.”

-“Years of disappointing encounters had honed her faking skills like the sword skills of a samurai. It was all very choreographed. She imagined herself wielding a blade. Slash…”moan.” Slash… “ooh.” Jab… “yes, that’s it.” Raising her sword above her head, she went in for the kill…the not so subtle, but highly effective, shudder.”
-“He had the penis the size of a baby carrot. Sure they look cute in a salad, but when attached the guy you’re falling for…depressing.”
-“Wine made her do slutty things, especially if consumed in indiscriminate quantities. That’s why she drank Vodka, it was the safest bet…Well, if you don’t count that afternoon in Miami. But, in her defense, that scantily clad cabana boy at Fontainebleau had a body that would make a nun come in her habit.”
-“The reason there are so many fish in the sea is because ninety-eight percent have to be thrown back.”

5 Charming Stars*****

(ARC kindly provided by author in exchange for an honest review)

What a fun novel!!!! I started reading it in the morning and was done by night, I simply couldn’t put it down. I had to pushed back appointments, ignore the office, and I even asked my husband to take care of dinner, because I didn’t want to miss one minute of this charming story. A delightful book that I’m sure will make everyone who reads it, feel happy!

19831927._SY540_

Why is it that if a woman isn’t married by a certain age, people assume something is wrong with her? Doesn’t matter if she’s happy and successful, if she’s not attached to someone she becomes damage goods.

That is a topic that our heroine, Tess Warner knows a lot about. Tess has a wonderful job she loves and she’s great at, as a writer for an urban magazine. She has a group of amazing friends that keep her life colorful and a family who adores her, but worry about her, because she’s still single.

We follow Tess around as she goes from date to date, some good, and some total disasters, but lucky for us, whichever way it goes for her, we’ll laugh because she faces every experience with a lot of great humor.

When Tess does finally find someone that is the complete package, turns out, he might have a little too much baggage. Can she handle it and finally put all her chips down and gamble for possible heartbreak or will she simply quit the game, and move on?

Reading this book felt like going on a girls night out; fun, adventurous, flirty and a little bit inappropriate. That is the Nikki Mathis Thompson writing style. Her books always feel empowering, and completely relatable, just a ton of fun!

In a world where so much negativity is going around, a book like this one; that brings readers together and delivers so many smiles, is vital. So read it, enjoy it, share it!

I believe we all have a little bit of Tess inside of us. When you get to your thirties you are finally coming into your own, you feel more comfortable in your own skin, so why settle?

This book reminded me, that we all should focus more on the positive that we have going on in our lives. Embrace our flaws and strengths, and simply learn to let go of the bad and move on, because our happiness should solely depend on us, we shouldn’t put that responsibility on anybody else.

So tonight, get a bottle of your favorite wine, and indulge in this wonderful book; you will have a grand time, I promise.

REVIEW – TO HAVE AND TO HOLD (The Wedding Belles, #1) by Lauren Layne

THATH _Cover

SYNOPSIS:

USA TODAY bestselling author Lauren Layne is the “queen of witty dialogue and sexy scenes” (Rachel Van Dyken)! Now, Sex and the City meets The Wedding Planner in The Wedding Belles, her sizzling brand new contemporary romance series about three ambitious wedding planners who can make any bride’s dream come true… but their own.

Discovering her fiance is an international con man just moments before they exchange vows devastates celebrity wedding planner Brooke Baldwin’s business—and breaks her heart. Now a pariah in Los Angeles, she seeks a fresh start in New York City and thinks she’s found it with her first bridal client, a sweet—if slightly spoiled—hotel heiress. Then she meets the uptight businessman who’s holding the purse strings.

Seth Tyler wishes he could write a blank check and be done with his sister Maya’s fancy-pants wedding. Unfortunately, micromanaging the event is his only chance at proving Maya’s fiance is a liar. Standing directly in his way is the stunning blonde wedding planner whose practiced smiles and sassy comebacks both irritate and arouse him. He needs Brooke’s help. But can he persuade a wedding planner on a comeback mission to unplan a wedding? And more importantly, how will he convince her that the wedding she should be planning… is theirs?

f8cd3eabe503f9300fae149a86dfbce9

This book was such a wonderful surprise. I will be honest. I thought the previous novella was very lukewarm and mediocre. But I love Lauren Layne and more often than not, her books are usually a hit for me. But then I started seeing some reviews and nobody seemed to be over the moon in love with this one. Luckily for me, I couldn’t get enough of this story!! This series centers around three women who work as wedding planners at New York City’s most elite wedding planning agency, The Wedding Belles. Now, don’t let the titles and covers of the books fool you like they did me. These stories are not about sappy weddings and pure fluff, oh no! From what I have experienced in this book, I would say these are some seriously hot and angsty adult contemporary romances, that contain some top book boyfriend contenders!! It may be premature for me to say, but this series could possibly top Ms. Layne’s Stilletto series. I found this book to pack quite a punch!!

To Have To Hold - Teaser 3

Brooke Baldwin is the newest Belle. Her move to NYC was a result of having recently been left at the altar when the FBI showed up during her wedding to arrest her fiancé for stealing millions through a Ponzi scheme. She’s looking for a fresh start and her wedding scandal ended up ruining her reputation on the West Coast. Her first client is Maya Tyler, heiress to the billion dollar Tyler Hotel Group conglomerate. She feels the floor drop from beneath her when she comes face to face with whom she believes to be the groom. Never has she had an instant attraction to the Groom of the wedding she is hired to plan. Luckily for her, Seth Tyler happens to be the older brother of the bride to be. He is jaw dropping gorgeous but unfortunately he comes off as quite the pompous douchebag. But there is an undeniable electric chemistry between Brooke and Seth.

I have many tropes that I love in a good romance and one of them is when there is a love/hate connection between the two main characters. It usually guarantees that there will be a healthy dose of angst and mind blowing steam to satisfy my reading needs. The chemistry between the hero and heroine in this story is incredibly HOT!!!! I found myself almost beyond impatient for their heated arguments to turn into some hard and angry sex, which ultimately is inevitable between two people who definitely feel an intense attraction for one another.

It isn’t customary for the brother of the bride to be so involved with all the wedding planning details but since both of their parents are deceased, Seth is very protective of his little sister and he’s not getting good vibes from the man who wants to marry his sister. Seth suspects the man is a con-artist who is only after his sister for her money. His interfering ways and gruff behavior irk Brooke to no end, and yet she can’t stop the insane attraction she feels for Seth. And Seth makes any kind of excuse to spend more time with her.

Neither Brooke nor Seth believes that the attraction building between them can turn into something permanent but they also won’t be able to fight it for too long. Both agree to give in to their desires just for one night and let me just say, I might have just melted into a puddle of desire at this point. What sweet relief!!!

When one night proves not to be enough to quench their desires for each other, will Brooke and Seth realize what they have is something so much more before it’s too late?

I honestly enjoyed this one so much! By the end it put a huge smile on my face, and yet I was sad to have to say goodbye to Seth and Brooke, but I’m sure that they’ll be around in the next two books as well. Hopefully, we’ll get to see where the road ahead takes them.

*****Mel’s Review*****

4 Stars!
(ARC provided by author)

19795613._SX540_

Delaney Hart is the oldest of three sisters from a small town in California called Wildwood. She had a tough childhood & had always been considered the rebel/bad girl with a reputation that followed her. After a tragedy rocks her life, she leaves town for Los Angeles & plans to never return. Suddenly she finds herself unemployed and returning to the town she hadn’t been to in over a decade. She has to deal with property her family still owns & decide if she wants to renovate it or demolish it. One thing she didn’t plan on is the sexy guy from her past that she crosses paths with. Ethan Hayes was never even on her radar in high school, but he certainly is now. He’s gorgeous & she can’t believe she ever overlooked him. She decides he would be the perfect distraction from her current problems.

Ethan Hayes is a man living with many regrets after a decision in his past changed the course of his life. His father is the mayor & he has a wealthy influential family that tries to control him. He gives his loyalty to people that don’t deserve it. He’s given up everything to pursue his dream of owning his own brewery. While he works towards his goals, he earns money working for the city. This puts him involved with the woman he had a huge crush on in high school. Delaney didn’t even know he existed back then, & now their families were in a feud. She should be off limits to him since getting close to her would be professional & personal suicide, but the more Ethan is around her, the more he wants her.

-He was such a sucker for her.

-“You can’t deny there’s something between us. Something…intense.”

-The passion between them flared so fast and so hot it dragged him under until Ethan couldn’t breathe for wanting her so badly.

-It was obvious she still wanted him. And she was having as much trouble fighting their attraction as he was.

-“We are fucking nuclear together, and we both want the same thing.”

Ethan is tired of letting his family determine his path in life, & decides to go after Delaney. The more time he spends with her, the more connected he feels to her. He begins to not care so much about the complications & his own agenda, & just wants to be with her. Real feelings develop & what started out as a fling slowly turns into so much more.

Ethan is making Delaney want things she’s never had before, like unconditional love. She’s always taken care of everyone else & he makes her feel safe & special. She originally wanted to be done with this town. Do what she needed & run away again, but now she’s reconsidering putting roots back down in her home town. She hadn’t felt this kind of desire or comfort with a man ever before, & even though she didn’t usually do relationships, she found herself wanting more with Ethan. They both decide to take control of their future while seeing if they can also possibly be with one another. Can they make it work when everything & everyone seem to be against them? I really enjoyed this book about forbidden romance & hope the next book is for Trace & Avery! :))

-She was the one person who seemed to be able to quiet the chaos inside him.

-“We have something, and it’s not going away.”

-“I want more, Delaney.”

-“You’re amazing.”

-“Everything…a man could…ever want.”

If you have ever read a Skye Jordan novel, you know that her Heroes are the ultimate sexy as hell alphas and her heroines are as tough as nails with maybe a tiny bit of the damsel in distress in them. And you are sure to get a healthy dose of the most decadent panty melting schmexy times that will set your libido on fire. That is definitely what you are in store for with Forbidden Fling. I will warn you that it does start off a bit slow but when things start to heat up between the two main characters, it was hard for me to put this one down.

Delaney Hart has returned back to her hometown after having left for several years. A certain tragic accident and subsequent harassment from some of the townsfolk forced her to run away from her home and family. The township is threatening to demolish her family’s rundown and abandoned bar, and her aunt Phoebe asks her to come back home so that she could make the decision on whether to demolish or rebuild the property.

Ethan Hayes is the local building inspector and has been planning on running a brewery with his grandfather, but he needs a liquor license. He was certain that the Harts would end up demolishing their bar and that he’d be able to buy their liquor license. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that Delaney Hart would return home. He had a huge crush on her during their high school years but was never even a blip on Delaney’s radar. Back then, she only went out with the bad boys and Ethan was too straight-laced for her.

When they both cross paths again, they can’t help but notice how insanely attracted they are to each other.

REVIEW – BROKEN PRINCE (The Royals, #2) by Erin Watt

The-Royals-Broken-Prince-Erin-Watt-Elle-Kennedy-Jen-Frederick

SYNOPSIS:

These Royals will ruin you…

From wharf fights and school brawls to crumbling lives inside glittery mansions, one guy tries to save himself.

Reed Royal has it all—looks, status, money. The girls at his elite prep school line up to date him, the guys want to be him, but Reed never gave a damn about anyone but his family until Ella Harper walked into his life.

What started off as burning resentment and the need to make his father’s new ward suffer turned into something else entirely—keep Ella close. Keep Ella safe. But when one foolish mistake drives her out of Reed’s arms and brings chaos to the Royal household, Reed’s entire world begins to fall apart around him.

Ella doesn’t want him anymore. She says they’ll only destroy each other.

She might be right.

Secrets. Betrayal. Enemies. It’s like nothing Reed has ever dealt with before, and if he’s going to win back his princess, he’ll need to prove himself Royally worthy.

Even more addictive than the first, and I thought that Paper Princess was book-crack. My head is spinning, my heart beating fast and a huge smile is painted on my face because this series is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!

I’m going to be honest in saying that I don’t know how to review this book, without giving anything away. I hate spoilers, I prefer going into my books blind, and in the case of this story, I feel it would be detrimental to say too much.

But I also realize that what I can do , is tell you without fear how reading this story made me feel. Completely enchanted, yes, that’s the most accurate word I could find because it’s incredible how the words of these authors have irrevocably captivated my heart . You’ve heard it before, The Royals will ruin you, well… do not take those words lightly. That’s exactly how you will feel, these sexy brothers will rob you from your words, and every single one of your emotions with the complex beauty of their dark hearts.

Secrets, so many of them. When one is revealed , and you think the shock is finally wearing out, another one comes to hit you right in the face, and we just eat it all up and beg for more. By the time you are done reading, you’ll pretty much do anything The Royals will ask of you, these books are thatGOOD!

Don’t be foolish in trying to figure out what the secrets are, or what the book is about by asking people or dissecting reviews; just buy the book, read it, and enjoy losing yourself in a story that will for sure leave you breathless.

I, for one, could read these books forever. I actually had a dream the other night that I was Ella, and what a dream it was to be in the arms of Reed Royal.

In Broken Prince Ella is still missing after Reed made a mistake that sent her running. The Royal brothers all went from resenting her & trying to get rid of her, to accepting her as part of their twisted family. She became their rock & gave them purpose. She brought joy back into their lives, & made them laugh again. They all loved her & wanted to protect her. Without Ella, their world felt like it was falling apart.

 

They eventually track Ella down & when she returns to the Royal mansion, she’s angry & hurt with Reed. She doesn’t want to be there. She just wants to finish school & then be done with this family & this town, but her heart has other ideas. She still can’t shut down her feelings for Reed as much as she tries not to care.

 

Reed will do whatever it takes to win Ella’s forgiveness. He’s determined to get her back & prove he’s worthy of her. He is willing to make a complete fool of himself for her. Reed groveling is priceless. I loved that the tables were turned & Ella had all the control.

 

-“You’re the only one for me.”

-“I missed you.”

-“Tell me you missed me too.”

-“It’s okay, you don’t have to tell me. You can show me.”

-“You still want me.”

 

Reed is quite the beautiful charmer, and eventually resisting him becomes impossible. Reed wants to care for her and has never felt this way before, and Ella wants to be able to trust him.

 

-Fuck. This girl is wrecking me.

-“Sometimes…the way you make me feel scares me.”

-“She’s the best thing to happen to the Royals in a long time.”

 

I loved this book so much! I devoured it just like I did the first one. I can’t get enough of these delicious Royals. This book had a lot more emotion to it. It also ends on another cliffy & left me dying to get my hands on the next book!
