Oliver and Parker have been circling each other forOliver and Parker's story. Please read every book in this series in order. You definitely have to.
Oliver and Parker have been circling each other for weeks and you can feel the chemistry between them as soon as they met. That was in the books prior, which is why I say you have to read every book in the series in order.
This was adorable! I love how even though Oliver was a tad on the annoying side (too much of a jokester), the book wasn't the annoying type of enemies to lovers. Yes they circled each other and had banter but it was cute banter.
I truly enjoyed this book and I can definitely say that all of the books in this series keep getting better.
WHATEVER IT TAKES is book 5 in the CODE OF HONOR series by Reese Knightly.
I'm so obsessed with this entire world the author built. All of the books a WHATEVER IT TAKES is book 5 in the CODE OF HONOR series by Reese Knightly.
I'm so obsessed with this entire world the author built. All of the books are interconnected and the characters are reoccurring. I love an interconnected series.
This level of building the backgrounds and stories of so many different characters takes skill. I truly love this author's work and all of the books and men that are so swoon worthy.
Luke Rhine is a retired army general who's best friends with Dillon Gannon's boss, the colonial. When Luke is in danger, Liam, the colonial, sends Dillon to Luke's side to protect him.
Leaving California and going to Luke's Arizona ranch leads to steamy tension, angst and fighting those feelings that you ultimately can't fight.
Dillon is emotionally exhausted and feels he has too much anger to ever be in a serious relationship. He's happy relegating his life to living on his ranch and taking care of the animals. Luke's ranch is an animal sanctuary which I found so sweet.
There's love and there's a battle which is common for the elite soldiers that are a part of the authors incredible world building.
She also has a great way of differentiating the characters in all of her books. There are so many books written, yet each man has his own unique voice.

Rough Country is a neighbors, grumpy/sunshine, single dad romance.
This book is really cute and sweet but it also gets deep and romantic! I loved it. Rough Country is a neighbors, grumpy/sunshine, single dad romance.
This book is really cute and sweet but it also gets deep and romantic! I loved it. I usually love Kelly Fox romance novels because she gets deep in your soul and when her characters connect, it's the most adorable and relatable thing.
This book at first comes across as your average MM romance but let me tell you, I kept going back to reread some of my favorite scenes. I just adore these two. ...more
Meh, I'd give it a 4 because it was Christmasy and beautiful and heartfelt. For a Xmas book this is as good as it gets!
The second in a series but can Meh, I'd give it a 4 because it was Christmasy and beautiful and heartfelt. For a Xmas book this is as good as it gets!
The second in a series but can definitely be read as a holiday novella standalone, this book is a cute take on the usual action this author gives us! Enjoy the beautiful magic, holiday cheer and murderers hiding in a small town!
With this author, there has to be a suspense! This is so cute seriously I loved it....more
Aww ! I love Jaime Reese! This is my second book from this author.
There were pros and cons for this story for me so I'll share my review in those terAww ! I love Jaime Reese! This is my second book from this author.
There were pros and cons for this story for me so I'll share my review in those terms.
The cons were that the book similar to the other one I read from this author, centered around family. That was a drawback from me because I really dislike the whole evil wealthy family trope.
But, fret not, the love connection made up for it.
I'm torn on this read. I feel like they made their love declarations way too early on. I also feel that the dad part at the end was very "wattapad" of this author.
I can't do any more family drama, so I'm scared to read anything else from Jaime Reese as I'm worried this author's MO is primarily consistent of family drama. ...more
Rough is the second book in the interconnected series, Operation Justice Force by Reese Knightly who suddenly became my new go to author. I've been re Rough is the second book in the interconnected series, Operation Justice Force by Reese Knightly who suddenly became my new go to author. I've been reading her entire catalogue and I'm hooked!
The best part is how interconnected all of the characters are. She writes it seamlessly but as I was reading I was impressed by how incredible Knightly's world building is. Once you start getting know all of the characters, it's so fun going from one book to the next. She drops subtle hints about the upcoming couple in her books but not in an overbearing way.
I had a hard time deciding if Mason and Gage were friends to lovers or enemies to lovers so I marked it as both. You'll see.
I loved this couple and the writing. This is my favorite in this series so far. One of my favorites of hers in general. I was so interested in reading Mason and Gage's story and I was not disappointed!
I love the way Gage accepts Mason's help and doesn't do the typical "I don't want pity" character trait that's so annoying. I loved that Mason went from wanting to be alone to wanting to be with Gage. They are so adorable.

I don't feel bad at all about it because this author is lucky I don't DNF. Am I angry? Yes lol I'm suffering but I don't have the ability to DNF once I'm really into a story.
I wish there was more romance and less silly scenes. I'm never a fan of comedy in romance novels. Well, Cora Rose does it perfectly and Patricia Logan and Leighton Greene are great with throwing in some comedic relief.
I can't take it anymore and the more I read, the angrier I am. I'm angry at myself for not having the ability to just DNF this stupid series. ...more

All Thayne wanted was peace. His boss had other ideas assigning the white haired and blue eyed mysterious Jarret Evans to be in charge of his safety until Thayne had to testify against his tormentor.

This is the first book from Leighton Green that i unfortunately didn't like.
I wasn't interested in the story and had to force myself to finish this wThis is the first book from Leighton Green that i unfortunately didn't like.
I wasn't interested in the story and had to force myself to finish this when I wanted to DNF it twice and came really close. The thing is, I know in the author's mafia series that it's best if you read all of the books in order. So I did. I would highly recommend you start with the other mafia series she has written if this is your first look into author Leighton Green'a work.
The Morelli Family Series, the entire world the author creates with her mafia series starts there. I strongly suggest that you read Married To The Mobster first.
Then, in the last book of that series we meet the one of main characters in this book, Jack. Officially Johnny Jacopo.
So this is what I didn't like about the book. Johnny aka JJ or Jack is kind if a depressed downer the entire book. He feels like he made some big mistake in his past surrounding the Castilli Family who he is working for. Due to his guilt, he stayed in the Castelli Mafia "Family" and allowed himself to be demoted and treated like garbage by his fellow mobsters. It's not a huge issue of bully or anything, I just mention that to say, he's highly depressed and always sulking and it's a huge reason, probably 50% of why I didn't like this book.
I didn't like that the Main mafia character was a loser and thought of himself as one. I prefer my mafia males to be obviously hot but also, rugged, ready to those down and cocky. He was neither of those things although I'll give it to him that he did save the other MC Miller a bunch of times.
Basically there is a huge mystery in this book that Jack has to solve. Miller also gets involved and they end up working together to solve the issue. So it's a very suspenseful book but lacked the romance I need to love a romance novel.
I didn't feel a connection or any love between these two MCs. I would have loved more passion, more angst, more anything regarding that type of heart warming emotion that makes you love a book.
It just wasn't for me at all. I felt frustrated but I am highly excited for the next book and I have loved MOST of the author's books.
I didn't like one of the books in the Morelli Series that much so I'm hoping this is just a fluke and I'll love Sandro's story because I was into him without even knowing too much about him.
Still, Leighton planted the seeds. And they are very delicious, dark and dangerous seeds! Just the kind I love. I have a feeling that in the next book I'm going to fall in love with Santo. He's got that BDE that I love in my mafia MCs!
Wow! Mind blown because let me just say... this book is absolutely AMAZING if you love romance and love love! I'm one oI will NEVER forget these two!
Wow! Mind blown because let me just say... this book is absolutely AMAZING if you love romance and love love! I'm one of those people who adores a book about two soulmates who find each other and have magical moments of true love that you really understand if you've been in love yourself.
When going into Crease you already know Max from books 1-3. If you don't already know who Max is, let me stop you now and say you should probably go back and read at least book 1 Shiver (it's also amazing). Book 2 is a 3 person relationship which I don't like so I skipped. I really only like and find palatable 2 person relationships but that's just me. We all have our own kinks and preferences which speaking of... back to Max and Crease. My GOD is this book HOT!!!
Deep, passionate, loving, surprisingly epic and HOT AF are only a few of the adjectives that come to mind when I think about this book. It doesn't even begin to cover how passionate this was.
This is not your regular MM hockey romance. In fact, there's very little hockey.
I wish more books were like this. Less background stupid unnecessary story line and more focus on the 2 main characters! I love when romance novels have scenes where the 2 MC's just find each other's souls and connect on a deep level. That's what you'll find here.
The way Deryke who's German (yass) loves Max is the kind of love I think every person in the world wants. A deep soul touching love.
Crease is a: Hockey Hurt/Comfort Gay/Bi-awakwning
Romance that starts when a straight hockey player, Deryke is on vacation in Kala, the well known gay island that's meant for fun and freedom from cameras runs into Max Latham, who's also a well known hockey player. They've always known each other on a surface level, but something happened to Max recently and it changed him. He just wants to be left alone to dwell in his own misery.
What he doesn't expect is to find himself so suddenly needy and craving for his NFL rival.
You guys... this book seriously hot hot hot! If you love hurt/comfort, there's no better book than this.
I am in love with everything about this story and everything about Deryke and Max.
I LOVE in a gay romance novel where the characters are obsessed with each other on a super needy/clingy level! Crease is all about codependency and I am ALL about that!
Codependency to me, is the best part of a romance. In a novel as well as real life. I was in awe of how well the author wrote the codependency between Max and Deryke! I love when an author writes UNAPOLOGETIC codependency! I can't stress that enough!
I know there are alof of exclamation marks used here but my God, I'm tired of reading about independence and not about neediness. I love neediness in men! It's my absolute favorite part of a romance story where one person is literally obsessed and willing to give everything to the other person. Max was open and raw. Just how I like them! This story was EVERYTHING!
I wish I could live in this book honestly. I would read about these two every day for the rest of my life. I could read about these two just eating breakfast and doing nothing all day and I would be happy due to how openly raw and obsessed with Deryke Max is! Gahhh I'm just so sad it's over now....more

WALKER so purchasing her books are a guaranteed good time. The characters always act maturely and that's what I love. Real men putting it all out there with mid to low angst.
The love portion of the book is pretty straight forward.. in a way. The murder suspense cold case and homicide portion takes up the majority of the book but its perfectly done.
There was just enough excitement and suspense without overshadowing the love story between Jake and August.
I just loved August. He was so sweet and insecure. Lonely and begging to be loved yet has an unemotional and grumpy outside exterior. Jake is so straight forward and unlike anyone August has ever met.
August has been grieving for 8 painful and lonely years. Once he meets Jacob (Jake), the constable who calls with a lead on an old case of Augusts, August flies out to Tallowwood to solve the case that's been haunting him once and for all.
What they uncover is unexpected and written well! ...more
