Nadine's Obsessed with Books

Duncan is an NHL star and he is tired of woman using him for his money and fame. After he cuts loose his latest gold-digger he heads over to the "Sin Bin" for some drinks with a new resolve of swearing of women. Now you know that won't last long but it's pretty funny watching him try to stear clear of anyone of the female persuasion...let's just say he doesn't make it very far.

Amber is the newest waitress at the "Sin Bin" working to put herself through school. Amber has a very low tolerance for athletes and swears never to become involved with one other than working for Jared the NHL player that owner the bar.

Can two people that have preconceived notions about the other get to a place where they see said person for their true self and not what they believed to be true?

Kelly Jamieson serves up a hat trick with this newest addition to the Aces Hockey Series. Past couples make an appearance, Marc and Lovey (Major Misconduct), Andrew and Jenna (Off Limits), both couples have great chemistry but the chemistry between Duncan and Amber is ice melting!

Funny, Funny Read!

This was a great start to a new series by T.L. Alexander, and I can't wait for the next book. I would consider this a spinoff of the Layers Series because this book's Hero is Dr. Dino Coletti and if you read the layers series you'll remember that he is the uncle of Alexia and Samantha, he has moved to a small little town in Oregon to fill a two-year medical position at the hospital. That being said you do not have to read the Layers Series in order to read this one, it can be read separately and you will not feel as if you have missed anything.

Dannie grew up on Whisper Lake but moved away for a while, now she is back, after a nasty divorce, with her daughter and she is taking the lake by storm. I always like when a wealthy person returns to their hometown to do good, and that is exactly what Dannie is doing.

Dannie has heard gossip about the new man living on the other end of the Lake though she has yet to meet him...according to all the women, young and old, he is something to behold. After two run-ins (literally) she agrees that he is good looking but that's it, she has no interest in any man let alone a Doctor after the way her Doctor ex-husband treated her.

This story was so much fun to read, I loved all of the characters, and the banter between them all was just great. I was laughing so much during this book. I cannot wait to the next one is released.

Here's a Little Excerpt:

Dannie:
He invades me and my body opens up to receive him, as if saying, I've been waiting for you, dumbass. What took you so damn long?
He moans."Dear lord, you feel like heaven. I've wanted you and this for so long. You're never getting away, Dan. Never."
"Stop talkin' the talk. I want--"
He thrusts forward. "Is that what you want?"
"Yes," I say and dig my nails into his ass cheeks.
He finds his rhythm and I dance along. All is well until it shifts from first to fifth,and I get left behind. Soon he's groaning and spouting unintelligible words.
He pulls out and collapses next to me. "God, Dannie, that was..."
Over in a blink of the eye. Faster than a bullet train. Quicker than sand. Unbelievably unfulfilling. I bite my lip and choke down my tears of shock and frustration. How could a man who looks like he does, smells like he does,is hung like he is, and has had as many lovers as he has be such a...disappointment? I might not be an expert at these things; but come on...

Some Quotes from the Book:

“That’s how I knew my second husband was a keeper. I gave him the test… The third time we hooked up, I wore my biggest granniest, white cotton panties.”

“Marcie said he’s the hottest thing to hit the lake since your dad. I told her, it’s not possible. You dad is and will always be the honey to my dew.”

“He removes three condoms and sets his wallet aside. He kisses them one by one. ‘I’ve never been so happy to see you. Come to Papa, you little gold treasures of pleasure.’”

Caitlyn's birthday is coming up and the only thing she wants from one of her two best friends to rid her of her virginity....the only problem is that she cannot choose between Matt and Tristan. She has been attracted to both of her best friends for years, they each have something that pulls her to them. When Matt finds out what Caitlyn wants he makes her an offer that she cannot refuse, not either Matt or Tristan, but both of them!

This book was so hot it was like a porno for your mind. There was so much sex going on it was hard to believe that Cait was a virgin...we have some MM, MF, and of course MFM.

I have to admit that I liked the after effects of their weekend together, I felt it was pretty realistic as to what may happen if you believed that after the weekend you would all just go back to your normal life....yeah that's not happening!

This book is the perfect example why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. I'm not speaking about the HOT cover of this book I am referencing Bridger Thompson, he is a former Navy SEAL and now a mechanic at the local Body Shop but that is not all....nope he is the KING OF PORN! Yep that's right, Bridger is the King of Porn...he's not in front of the camera so no one really knows that is where he makes most of his money but it still a huge part of who he is.

You see Bridger was injured in Iraq and since he didn't have function of a certain body part he created a machine that he hoped would satisfy his ex-fiance's needs....did you catch the ex part there? Yep they are no longer together so now he creates these machines and pays women to pleasure themselves with it on camera. This secret side of him if it came out could ruin Dynassy Barnes chances of cleaning up her bad girl image.



I loved the chemistry between Dynassy and Bridger and they each brought something to the table so it wasn't a one sided romance....they each had a lot to loose if things didn't work out, but they each had a lot to gain if it did.



Will Bridger's secret come out? Will Dynassy clean up her image? Will they be able to work through things if secrets are revealed? Only one way to find out the answer to these questions - grab your copy today! You wont be disappointed. Machine is the second book in the Barnes Family series but it can be read as a standalone.

Janet and Sean are great together even though they have a bit of a rocky time they cannot deny the chemistry between them. This is the third book in the series and I think the stories are getting better and better with each one.

Janet is the bartender at Shifting Impulse and she has grown up with Shifters so they aren't anything new to her but when she meets Sean something awakens in her. I really liked Sean whom was just passing through North Bloom Lake for the weekend while attending an opening for his friends photography exhibition, so this was the first time we have met him but I have a feeling it wont be the last.

Like I have said in another review of this series....Shifting Impulse is the place to go for shifters and humans alike, you never know you might just find your fated mate there.

First I am going to start by saying that I enjoyed this story much more than Anna and the Bear. There was just something about Celine that I really liked, she was a bit shy and a whole lot of nervous when she met Ryan (Adam's twin brother) which I totally found endearing. There is one huge obstacle that Ryan needs Celine to conquer so that they can be together. But since the author tells you in the books blurb that there is a guaranteed HEA you know that things do work out for Ryan and Celine.

Shifting Impulse is the place to go for shifters and humans alike, you never know you might just find your fated mate there.

This is a hard review to do, while I thought the story was a good one it lacked something and I'm just not sure what that was. I didn't feel a connection or any chemistry between Anna and Adam at all. I liked Adam but Anna was very annoying at times. This is the first book in the series and I do plan on give the other books a read I really hope that I connect more with the next couple because Anna and Adam left a lot to be desired.

This story had Yummy Goodness written all over it. Friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite tropes and what better time for two friends to get together than over the holidays. Such fun!

Sawyer and Hollis have been friends for many years, they actually grew up together and watched Hollis' sister and Sawyer's brother fall in love, get married, and start a family of their own..but for some reason Hollis steered clear of Sawyer even though he had feelings for him. But that time has come and gone and Sawyer was going to make sure of it.

Christmastime has been rough for Hollis since his parents death a few years earlier, but Sawyer is determined to get him out of the depression he always falls into as the holidays near.

And what better way to do it than with a little wager, if Sawyer wins the towns most favorite Shop window Hollis has to go on an actual date with him.

 

 

Wrapped Together had me pulled in right from the beginning, I love the way Annabeth Albert pulls at your heartstrings at the same time she's making you laugh out loud. Sawyer and Hollis' story was one of sheer beauty and it definitely had my emotions all over the place. It wonderful way to start the holidays, curled up in front of the fireplace reading Wrapped Together on my kindle while sipping at hot coco...perfect!
