Review: Plan B

Plan B by Jana Aston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kyle Kingston.

Did he just hit my top Jana man list?

Because holy shit. That man. Kyle. Wow. Just....yeah.

See, I have all the words here.

I've been patiently waiting for Daisy's book since the end of Sure Thing. I knew Daisy was someone I wanted to meet and I knew her story would be one I couldn't put down.

But Jana made us wait.
And wait.
And wait.

It was totally worth it!

If I knew I'd be getting Kyle Kingston, then I would happily wait another year. Or two. He's just so freaking amazing and perfect. AND OMG.

You need to meet him. You will love him so hard.

Review: The Lying Hours

The Lying Hours by Sara Ney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

RTC!

Vacation is a time for reading and relaxing and traveling. Which is what I've been doing.
I listened to this during my ridiculously long drive and it made the time go by so quickly. I couldn't stop listening. I guess that's not surprising considering I've devoured every single book in this series, but whatever.

This book is another hit. Abe and Skylar are one of those couples you want to see succeed. You need them to realize their mistakes and you need them to get together as soon as possible because they are that great and that deserving of one another.

If you've been following along, you know this is a theme. These books have you cheering from the beginning.
And OMG. Zeke Daniels is in this one. He's in here and he's so freaking perfect and hilarious and he's just all the things.
And his interactions with Abe are some of the best in the book.

Go forth and read. Go forth and find a Douchebag to love.

Review: The Learning Hours

The Learning Hours by Sara Ney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'M IN LOVE.

Quick! Someone speak to me in French.

RTC.

OMG! I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet! This book was so freaking fantastic that I couldn't stop listening. Those roommates of Rhett's were awful and I just couldn't believe how mean they could be.

But Rhett. Man. That. Man.
He's sweet and kind and generous and so freaking lovable that you just want the best for him. In life, in love, in all the things.

Because he's fantastic.

And Laurel is a great fit for Rhett. What started as a weird joke became so much more. And it was everything this series needed.

Sweet southern man.
Fiesty woman.

Chemistry. Electricity. Uncertainty.

If Rhett Rabideaux doesn't quickly become your favorite (non)Douchebag, I'm not sure what's wrong with you.
He's the best.

That french though. swoon

Review: Behind His Eyes

Behind His Eyes by Claire Kingsley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

After devouring the Bootleg Springs series and hearing Jonah Bodine Jr was from Jetty Beach, I knew I had to go back and give them a read.
Or listen.
And lucky for me, they are in the romance package so I just downloaded it and dove right in.

This is a sweet story of two people who are thrown back into their hometown and are trying to find their way on this new path life has created for them.

Ryan and Nicole are an unlikely pair, but they just click. They are the couple you cheer for because enough stupid has been thrown at them and they deserve a good, happy life.

If you haven't read a Claire Kingsley book, this is a good one to start with (although her Book Boyfriend series and that Bootleg Springs series are where I got my start).

Go forth and venture to Jetty Beach. I think you'll have a good time.

Review: Making Up

Making Up by Helena Hunting
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

LOVED this newest addition to the Shacking Up world. RTC!

Sometimes you just know you have a good thing in your hands from the moment you see the cover. And really, look at that cover. Those abs, those arms, those pecs....

Uh, where was I?

Oh, right. A good thing.

Making Up is that good thing. Griffin Mills is, well, he's a Mills brother. And Cosy is just the perfect pairing for this big-wig hotel guy. She's feisty and young and the best counter for Griffin's seriousness.

Helena has another hit with these Mills brothers. Just when you think you've found your one true Mills love, you are hit with a new brother.

Are there more hiding somewhere? I could read about these guys allllll day.

Review: Lyric

Lyric by Molly McAdams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I once asked Molly McAdams which books of hers I should read and this is the book she recommended.

So, nice choice.

I wasn't sure what I expected when I hit play on this audio. I was in it for the long haul, I had a 2300 mile trip ahead of me and I was determined to knock out some of my ridiculous TBR.

And Lyric was already sitting there on my audiobook shelf, downloaded and ready to go, just waiting for me to hit play.

So I did.

Now is a good time to tell you I didn't read the blurb. Just took Molly at her word and dove right in. There's nothing like blind trust to really get you in the mood for a book (although why I trust her is beyond me, the last time I read one of her books she left me gutted on the floor).

So, Lyric.

Wow. I like the detail, the characters, the love, the devotion, the...Wait, what??! The mafia?! Is this a mafia book?

Oh, yes, yes it is. And the twists and turns and lies and deceit that happen in this book left my jaw on the floor.

She got me. Why I am so surprised is beyond me. I should know to not trust Molly with my reading choices. I should have known better.
But here we are.

I'm moving on to book two because this book was fantastic.

Like I said, if you want the swooniest romance mixed with a bit of mafia blood--okay, a lot of mafia blood--then this is the book for you.

Just know that Maxon James is going to win your heart. You're gonna wish you were every lyric he had ever written too.

And because I'm me, I want the spin-off story of Gabe. This ten years of waiting through his eyes. Because I bet that shit is twisted.

Review: Duke of Manhattan

Duke of Manhattan by Louise Bay
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I just love, love, LOVE Shane East. LOVE HIM. Want to get wrapped up in that voice and never come out.

Wait. That's a little weird, right?

So, uhhhh....
Duke of Manhattan is all you want in a sexy, sophisticated, playboy falls in love kind of book. He's demanding, he's determined, and he's just so damn sweet. And he finds the perfect match. Just absolutely perfect.

As my first Louise Bay book, I am kicking myself for not reading her sooner. I can't wait to dive into her other works.
And if Shane East is narrating them, well, I'm all in.
