My Sweet Demise

Desperation makes a girl do crazy things…

When twenty-one year old Raina O’Connor is kicked out of her room on short notice, she’s thrown into a frantic search for a new place to stay. As the situation becomes more urgent, her choices have dwindled to her least favorite option—ladies’ man, Kent Nicholson.

Kent Nicholson loves women, just not as a roommate…

When a gorgeous blonde with big hazel eyes answers Kent’s ad for a roommate, his red flags start flying. He’s looking for a wingman, not a chick who will put a damper on his game or drench his apartment in pink. It’s clear she’s in a bind, and something about her makes him break his own rules. But when he reluctantly accepts, it’s with four concrete conditions.

Be his wingman. Don’t get in his way with other girls. No bitchy attitudes. And most importantly, she can’t fall for him.

Pretty sure this was the world’s worst idea—ever…

Trust is something earned. Raina learned that the hard way when her father broke her heart as a child, making it easy to steer clear of relationships. But living with Kent somehow stirs emotions Raina has always forbidden herself to have. Plus, he’s everything she never wanted—untrustworthy, pigheaded…and gorgeous. Something tells her Kent isn’t free of his own secret scars…

Love can drag you down and spit you out, and be worth every second.! 

***************

Raina tends to get the raw end of the deal. When she is almost out of options for a place to live she uses her girl power to convince Kent to let her stay. Kent may be smoking hot but he is no gentleman. He's rather rude to Raina but things turn around pretty quickly. These two have some major issues and throw an opinionated over powering older sister and you got yourself one hot mess. Raina's issues are pretty straightforward however she can't seem to let them go and if your going to be with a guy like Kent you are going to need a lot of faith and a bucketful of trust. Kent he is keeping his main issue close to his vest and we can figure it out fairly quickly but what I had trouble with was him letting going of everything after falling for Raina. Lucky for him she doesn't give up on him. There are times in the book when I was done with him lol. Some hot, steamy sex scenes. Fantastic ending. Can't wait for the next book. 

Rhett

I’m Rhett.

I’m cocky because I can be. I’ve got it all: the looks, the money, the endurance. I’m the guy that every girl wants to be with, yet none of them have ever been able to tie me down.

I don’t do love. I don’t do relationships. And I sure as hell will never do marriage.

I’m all about the fast life and everything that entails. There’s a different woman in my bed every week. My friends are jealous of me. My enemies envy me. Everyone wants my life. And everything in my life is absolutely perfect.

Until the day she told me she was moving away. She’s my best friend. She was my first kiss in grade school. We share everything with each other. We never dated because I don’t love her. I don’t care that she’s moving. I don’t care that she’s moving for a guy. I don’t care because I don’t love her. I don’t do love.

I’m Rhett and I don’t let anything get me down. Then one night changed everything and everything I thought I knew was called into question.

All of a sudden, being Rhett didn’t mean so much anymore.

********************

Rhett and his best friend Clementine have an unusual relationship- only in the sense they are a little too close for being 21-year best friends of the opposite sex and do things they probably shouldn't do unless they are romantically involved.  Rhett is pretty bullheaded about his "no love" policy, so much so he can't even see that he's in love with Clementine. Clementine needs to move on with her life and with Rhett being so close with her it has prevented her from having a boyfriend ever. Lines get crossed, and Rhett's feelings get screwed up. He ends up losing Clementine just as he figures out she's the one. Now he either has to let her go or fight for her.

Some hot, juicy sex scenes. Fabulous ending.

Chase

735 to 1.

735 = number of notches on his belt.
1 = the notch he couldn’t get.

Who is he?

Dean Chase.

He loves the thrill. He loves the women. And above all, he loves the chase. 

But the one thing he doesn’t love is being tied down by a woman. To him, once the chase is over, it’s time to pull up his boxers and move on to the next target.

That is until he meets Blair Parker. 

Blair is unlike any of the women under Dean’s belt. She’s confident, mysterious, and sassy. In Dean’s world, she’s the wicked curved ball he couldn’t figure out. She’s the first woman who always seems to be out of reach no matter how hard he chases. So when it comes to Blair, Dean couldn’t move on. 

Dean will need to change his ways in order to chase Blair down to make her the 736th notch on his belt. But will chasing after Blair become Dean’s undoing and end his love of the chase once and for all?

The Chase is volume one of a three-part contemporary romance novella series. 

****************

Chase is one cocky, sexy piece of man meat. It doesn't help his ego that he's a fantastic lawyer. When he crosses Blair's path, he is mesmerized by her. As he keeps running into her the stronger his need to have her grows. Things get complicated, but Chase is determined to have her. Just when he starts having feelings for a woman that he's never had before things get even more complicated. Some hot, steamy, juicy sex scenes. Damian makes a brief appearance too. Cliff hanger ending.

Uncockblockable

Uncockblockable (Evan Arden)

Nick Wolfe is famous in Chicago – or is that infamous? He’s not only known as the illegitimate son of Mafia boss Rinaldo Moretti, but also as an unstoppable ladies’ man. He always seems to get the girl in the end, even when everyone around tries to plot against him. He’s a party guy, doesn’t work, and spends all his time picking up chicks and making notches on his headboard. He's the ultimate ladies man...or is that man-whore? Until he meets her, and she turns the tables on him.

******************

This was a quick read. I found sometimes I didn't know really what was going on. Basically this book takes us through Nick's life of picking up girls- he is one sly, story telling, man whore! The best part is when he meets Milena and is speechless. Upon the second time meeting things move fast. There is an underlining threat with their families and I imagine things aren't going to be easy for them. Some hot, juicy, steamy sex scenes. Good ending.

Taming Damian

She destroyed me. Can I still love her?

Damian Castillo is the man, the legend, the heartbreaker—the self-proclaimed man-whore that doesn’t believe in love or commitment. That is until he meets Alexis Blythe—the innocent, strong-willed small town girl who didn’t immediately give into Damian’s charm. With Alexis, Damian sees something more than just hot, no-strings-attached sex, and against his inner resistance, he gives into his feelings for her.

But just when their relationship begins to bloom, something unexpected threatens to break them apart. Will Damian leave Alexis and go back to his playboy ways and break yet another heart? Or will Damian’s love for Alexis be strong enough to convince him to stay and fight for a woman that’s like no other he’s ever met before?

**************

Holy Moly what an emotional ride! I had to put the book down sometimes because I just needed a break. These two are their own worst enemies - they hide their feelings from each other and it ends up causing more problems. Damian acts before he thinks and he ends up breaking Alex's heart-and breaking his own. You will figure out pretty quick what Alex's is hiding, but there is another secret that you will not guess - it will floor you and probably bring tears. Damian is a champ, but he is not fully on board. I thought first Alex was just over reacting but as the story unfolded Damian was there but he wasn't fully vested in Alex. Lots of hot, steamy, juicy sex. Heart breaking moments but those are forgotten when you get to the end. Fantastic Ending.

I  am going to miss Alex & Damian.

Damian

Meet Damian Castillo. The man, the legend, the heartbreaker. As a self-proclaimed man-whore, Damian doesn’t believe in love or commitment. In fact, he can’t remember the last time he’s had feeling for a woman that went beyond hot, no-strings-attached sex. The only things he cares about are his bar, his appearance, and his needs.

But then he meets Alexis.

Meet Alexis Blythe. A small town girl that has lost a lot of love in her life. Wanting to leave her past behind her, she moves to San Francisco looking for a big change. Yet, despite everything she’s gone through, she still believes in true love.

But then she meets Damian.

When Alexis shows up at his bar, Damian’s caught by surprise. She’s different. She’s sweet, innocent, and feisty. But above all, this woman didn’t respond to his charm and piercing-blue eyes the way every other woman did. To Damian, she’s his ultimate challenge.

Could Alexis be the girl that will break through Damian’s wall of perpetual bachelorhood without getting hurt? Or will Damian remain true his ways and break Alexis’s heart and her hopes of true love?

****************

The cover shot for this book was spot on with what I imaged Damian would look like. He is a smoking hot cocky bartender (& owner) who has women falling at his feet. When he first meets Alexis he knows there's something special about her. This isn't your typical playboy falls for a good girl story because Damian never stops his manwhore ways. Alexis is that girl that has no idea how beautiful she is. She's been hurt before, but she still lets Damian in knowing he is a man whore. Turns out she should have been more cautious with her heart. It takes Damian awhile to figure out his feelings for Alexis and now he has to convince her his hearts in it this time. Lots of hot, spicy, juicy sex. Cliffhanger ending.

The Heartbreaker is the prequel to DAMIAN

Book #3

The Heartbreaker

Meet Damian Castillo. The man, the legend, the heartbreaker.

The only thing that matters in his world is his “little black book”: his large black shoebox filled with hundreds of phone numbers from the nameless women in his life. He knows what he wants: mind-blowing, no-strings-attached sex. And as the hottest bartender in San Francisco, he never has a problem getting exactly what he wants. 

But sleeping with every hot woman that throws herself at him can sometimes lead to unexpected problems, and Damian discovers this when he finds himself caught in the middle of his two recent conquests. Will his manwhore ways get him into more trouble than he can handle, or will this heartbreaker manage to get out unscathed?

***********

Damian is a man whore to say the least. I might feel bad for him when he finally meets the "one" and she discovers his black box. I think he just met her at the end of this book.

Some very hot and juicy sex scenes. A few dramatic moments. This novella will keep you engaged at every turn. Ending will leave you wanting more which you can have with "Damian."

Even after years of trauma therapy, Peyton still believes she’s broken. She has little desire to date or show off her natural beauty, content simply to hang out with her best friends and run her pie shop in New Orleans.

With Reed determined to have her, Peyton must decide whether to continue to hide behind her apron and baggy clothes or take a chance and share her scars with Reed, a man with a playboy reputation and scars of his own -- a dark past he can’t possibly share with Peyton, not after learning the horrors she’s endured.

Approximately 24,000 words, it can be read as a standalone or for more enjoyment, can be read along with Southbound Surrender.

**************

The author packs a lot in a quick read, but it does not feel rushed. 

I have not read "Southbound Surrender" but I can tell you that this book makes me want to! Piper is his roommate, and she is out to fix Kelly- she might not be able to, but she can set him on the road to love.

Kelly Black has a bit of an ego but once he meets Olivia he is taken down a notch. Now for the first time in his life he has to figure out how to date someone instead of bedding them. 

As for the ending there is so much more that could be written. Some might consider it a cliff hanger ,but I think it was great, and I felt like Kelly just might be able to move forward.
