He’s No Saint by AJ Harmon Blog Tour + Kindle Giveaway + Rafflecopter Giveaway

Posted on 05/08/2014 by Saucy Southern Readers

He’s No Saint by AJ Harmon.

Goodreads ~ Amazon ~ Barnes & Noble ~ iTunes ~ Kobo

Becoming a priest wasn’t his plan, but when Tyler Oswin suffers a tragic loss, the safety of the church seemed the perfect place to find solace and peace. Now Father Hugh, he works and tries to do good but his carnal nature always seems to get in the way of fully committing to his new profession.

Amy Lansing felt lost as a teenager after her father died and deals with her loneliness by joining the convent. She’s not living – she’s hiding. Holding onto the past is keeping her from dealing with her future and when she meets Father Hugh, her heart starts beating again, despite knowing that there can never be anything more than a friendship between them.

With all that has happened in the past, and the difficulty of their current situation, it seems that neither Tyler nor Amy will find the happily ever after they are both desperately searching for. But love has a way of bringing them together, only to find that his sins from the past will threaten their future.

He’s No Saint is a love story for all who believe in fighting for love. It is a stand-alone novel written by AJ Harmon, author of the best-selling series First Class Novels.

“Phenomenal” and “Breathtakingly beautiful” is how this romance novel has been described by readers.

Review

He’s No Saint is a breathtakingly beautiful tale of forbidden love, faith, and forgiveness with an ending that will bring you to your knees.

Wow! It is hard to put into words how this book affected me. Make sure you bring out the tissues because you are going to need them. Tyler has been through so much after losing his one true love because of a heinous crime. He became Father Hugh to escape the pain he was feeling and to try and help others that were going through loss. He can’t seem to forgive himself for not being there for Melanie when he could have. His days are filled with grey clouds until Sister Meredith arrives. She is the sunlight that is missing from his life.

Amy escaped to the convent and became Sister Meredith after her father died. She never had a healthy relationship with a man and so the idea of being celibate and giving her life to the church and its members was very appealing to her. She was quite happy being a nun and helping people that is until the day she meets the gorgeous Father Hugh. Her body reacted to him like it had never reacted to a man before. It scared her because she should not be having the type of feelings she was having about Father Hugh and so she runs away.

Father Hugh is smitten and finds that Sister Meredith is worth leaving all of it behind. He believes that she was brought to him through God’s divine intervention and he does not want to let her go. But he’s got some things in his way before he can get to her. One of them being a not so happy prostitute named Kit. She has the power to destroy any possible relationship that he might want to pursue with Sister Meredith. The question is will Father Hugh get there in time to save Sister Meredith or will he lose her just like he did Melanie.

I was once told by a little bird that “art’s highest purpose is to entertain, to enlighten, to inspire, to evoke emotion and to change an audience in some way, big or small.” This book evokes serious emotion. It is not your typical HEA. YOU MUST READ THE EPILOGUE!!! You will be crying like a baby. After everything these two have been through how could this happen to them…

Excerpt

Charlie was a parishioner that had lived a couple of blocks from St. Mary’s his entire life. He’d grown up in the neighborhood, married a girl he’d known since 1st grade, Ruby, and they settled in the same apartment building as his parents. Charlie and Ruby were inseparable, not blessed with children, but that did not affect their deep and eternal love for one another. Ruby had died many years before after a long battle with Alzheimer’s disease, Charlie becoming her caregiver in her final days. Father Casey had known the couple well, but Ruby had passed before Father Hugh had arrived. But Charlie had made an impression and Father Hugh loved to visit with him as often as he could. He was in awe of Charlie’s desire to be reunited with his Ruby… to feel her hand in his and see her smile again. It almost made him believe in love.

On this particular day, Charlie now in a nursing home, the phone rang in the nunnery to tell the Sisters that Charlie was nearing the end. He’d asked to see the new nun… the pretty one, and to have Father Hugh come and hear his final confession. Sister Agnes was heartbroken as she informed Sister Meredith of the request. Father Hugh was also saddened to hear that this would be his last time with Charlie, but quickly changed out of his work clothes and waited for Sister Meredith to accompany him to the nursing home.

They drove in silence the short distance and hurried down the white halls to find Charlie propped up in bed, his breathing labored. Sister Meredith took the old man’s hand in hers as she sat by his bed and smiled down at him.

“I’m glad you came,” Charlie smiled. “I wanted your beautiful eyes to be the last thing I saw on this earth.”

“That’s very kind of you,” she blushed. “I’ll stay as long as you’d like.”

“It won’t be long,” the nurse whispered, looking at the monitors.

With a sacred reverence, Father Hugh performed last rites and eased Charlie’s conscience by hearing his confession, all the while refusing to let go of Sister Meredith’s hand. His hand relaxed slightly as he drifted in and out of consciousness and occasionally had a smile on his lips.

“What do you think he’s thinking about?” Sister Meredith asked.

“No clue,” Father Hugh replied.

“You don’t think he’s excited about going to be with Ruby?”

“I guess he might be,” he shrugged.

“You must believe in heaven,” she gasped.

He didn’t answer straight away. There was a sadness to his expression that made her curious.

“You do believe in heaven, don’t you?” she asked again. “Heaven is where we will live for eternity with our families, our loved ones, our pets.”

“I’m sure you will get to have that,” he acknowledged. “You are a good person who deserves to have a heaven. All good people go to heaven.” Like Melanie, he thought to himself.

“I believe they do,” she agreed.

“Just not me,” he whispered to himself.

Sister Meredith didn’t hear him and tilted her head in thought. “What do you think about hell?”

“There is a hell,” he assured her.

“I know what I’m supposed to think about hell, but some days I wonder if it’s as bad as we’re made to think,” she admitted.

“I’m afraid that hell will be knowing that no one in heaven misses me when I don’t arrive. I’ve been a disappointment to my parents, Father Casey, and to God, and nobody in heaven is gonna miss me.”

“No! You are a good man Father Hugh and I cannot imagine you ever being a disappointment.”

“You don’t know me very well then,” he smirked.

Charlie gasped for air, his final breaths difficult. “Ruby,” he smiled and then he was gone.

The monitors beeped, Charlie’s chest exhaled for the last time and a tear fell from Sister Meredith’s cheek. She smiled as she glanced up at the priest, knowing that Charlie and Ruby were together again… in heaven. “They’re happy again.”

Father Hugh just nodded and they left the nursing home, each of them in their own thoughts. Sister Meredith felt a peace at Charlie’s passing, but Father Hugh felt restless and uneasy. As a priest, it was his job to preach of heaven and set the example of how to get there. As a man, he was sure he had no hope of ever reaching eternal glory and presumed he was headed in the opposite direction.

Synopsis

Audrey Valdez didn’t mean to fall for Will Anders. He isn’t her type. At all. But his goofy smile, Star Wars quotes and athletic body make it impossible. She’s lived so long in the darkness and Will is like the sun. He makes her laugh more than she has in years and cares for her more than her own family.

But there are things about Audrey that Will doesn’t know, things he can’t know. She tries to push him away, but he just ends up getting closer to her, and to her secret. Is the risk of losing him forever worth the chance a being with the only person she’s ever loved who has loved her back?

Excerpt

“Look, when you were with Zan, did I tell you what to do? No offense, Zan.”

“None taken,” he called over the splash of the dishes in the sink.

“Uh yeah, you did. You were always telling me to be careful and I know you beat him up that one time. Don’t even try to deny it.” There was no hiding anything from my sister. Mom might as well have named her Sherlock Holmes.

“Yes, but when you told me you were with him, I said I’d get over my own issues because he made you happy. So there.”

She rolled her eyes.

“Real mature, William.”

“Listen, I think I’m just going to go. I don’t need this right now.” I started to get up from the couch, but Lottie grabbed onto me and wouldn’t let go. She might be little, but she was strong.

“Lot, seriously.” But she wouldn’t release me from her clutches, and if I walked, I was taking her with me.

So I sat back down.

“You were the one talking about being mature, and you just did a really good barnacle imitation to get me to not leave.”

“Desperate times, Will. Desperate times.” Zan was making a lot of extra noise in the kitchen to give the illusion of privacy.

“What do you want me to do, Lot? I tried. I told her I loved her. That’s pretty much the best I can do.” Zan dropped a plate and it clunked in the sink.

“Sorry,” he called.

“I don’t know, Will. Win her over. Show her why she should be with you. Be your lovable charming self. You’ve never had any problems getting a girl before.” No, I hadn’t, but Audrey wasn’t just any girl. She was the girl.

“I can’t force her into a relationship with me if that’s not what she wants. I’m pretty sure that’s illegal.” Lottie waved her hand, brushing the legality aside.

“She does want to be with you, that’s the thing. She just has this crazy idea in her head that it won’t work out. You need to show her that you’re not giving up on the relationship, and thus not giving up on her, and maybe she’ll realize that and you two can live happily ever after, get married and have your honeymoon at Comic Con.” Lottie smiled with satisfaction. She just had everything figured out.

Tracey’s Review

4 – Stars

Audrey Valdez and Will Anders have a complicated relationship. He likes her and she likes him, but Audrey has a secret, a secret that she believes will be the end of them.

There is a lot going on in this book. Besides the ever-changing relationship between Audrey and Will, there is the whole back story involving the ‘gang,’ the circle of friends and family that comprise their world. The interaction between Audrey, Will, and the rest of the ‘Family’ is both touching and entertaining. These kids really have each others’ backs, and it’s through the trust and support of each other that Audrey is eventually able to let Will in completely, and see the bright side of life.

The revelation of Audrey’s secret was a bit frustrating for me, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I felt like it was pretty easy to guess what the secret, or the basic gist of it, was, and secondly, it just took such a long time for it to come out. Once we got to see what had actually gone on in Audrey’s life to shape her view of herself, the story moved much more quickly and was more satisfying. That being said, though, I did really enjoy the interaction of all of the characters here, and the continuation of story lines that were introduced in the first two books of the series. And, as with other of Chelsea Cameron’s books, the innate humor really is a plus, and fleshes out the characters and makes them seem that much more real. All in all, this was a good solid read for me, and I recommend it if you’re looking for a sweet, yet sexy, book.

Searching For Perfect by Jennifer Probst 6-Star Review Top 25 Romance for 2014+ Giveaway

Posted on 05/05/2014 by Saucy Southern Readers

SEARCHING FOR PERFECT by Jennifer Probst

The up-and-coming matchmaking agency Kinnections is the hottest thing to hit Verily, New York—just like Kennedy Ashe, social director for the service she owns with her two best girlfriends. A coach, consultant, and cheerleader rolled into one super-sizzling package, Kennedy creates dream dates, encourages singles to shine, and never refuses a challenge—not even Nate Ellison Raymond Dunkle, rocket scientist, nerd extraordinaire, and Kennedy’s newest client.

Kennedy vows to work her magic and transform this hot mess in a lab coat with a disastrous relationship track record into the most wanted man on the Verily dating scene. If only she could turn the wand on herself . . .

Though she radiates confidence and sex appeal, Kennedy harbors deep-seated insecurities from a tormented past and lifelong struggle with weight issues. When she realizes she and Nate are cut from the same cloth and might be perfect together, can Kennedy learn to let her heart lead the way? Or will her fears sentence her to the sidelines as Nate finds love—with someone else?

Kelley’s Review

Searching For Perfect is the modern day fairy tale of Beauty and the Geek. This story was so wonderfully written and captivated me from the first page to the last. Jennifer Probst has created yet another masterpiece in this read. I cannot recommend it enough.

I absolutely adored this story and took my time getting to the end because I knew I would be so sad when it was over. I am really looking forward to the next book in this series. Kennedy is breathtakingly beautiful. She has no problem snagging any man that she wants for a night or two because she has no interest in a long term relationship. That is until project Nate comes stumbling through the door. She is so excited to take the man who’s initials literally spell out the word NERD (Nathan Ellison Raymond Dunkle) and turn him into a beautiful butterfly. He is her Eliza Doolittle. Never in a million years would she have ever expected to fall for him.

Nate is an aerospace engineer who is so intelligent that he lacks proper social skills. You know the type with the pocket protector and nerdy glasses. To top it off he has taken horrible advice from his brother when it comes to women and his pick up lines are extremely chauvinistic. Kennedy seriously has her work cut out for her. Nate is smitten with her from the very beginning. He knows she is way out of his league but he can dream right? Kennedy is a master at what she does and before long Nathan has turned into a gorgeous hunk and a hot sexy man with a brain just happens to be Kennedy’s kryptonite.

I have never laughed so much when reading a book. My kids were like mom what is so funny. Nate and Kennedy are hysterically funny and seriously sexy. Kennedy is extremely hard headed and is lucky that when Nate wants something he does not back down but at the end of the day you can only do so much and if it was not meant to be you have to let the person go. The question is will Kennedy come back to him or will he have moved on. She did set him up with another woman.

Jennifer does a masterful job developing these characters and the supporting cast is superb once again. Nate’s brother Connor is a riot.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this lighthearted and fun romance. I gave this book 6-stars because it was immensely entertaining from start to finish. I did not want it to end. I am telling all my friends and all of you that if you take a chance on Searching For Perfect you will not be sorry. This book is in my Top 25 Romances for 2014.

The Resistance by S.L. Scott Blog Tour + 5 Star Reivew

Posted on 05/03/2014 by Saucy Southern Readers

You don’t choose when.

You don’t choose where.

And you don’t get to choose who you fall in love with.

The minute he opened his sexy mouth, Holliday Hughes should have known Jack Dalton was trouble. His smooth pickup lines, broad shoulders, and ridiculously handsome face charmed her right out of her clothes. She gave into her desires, the instant attraction blinding her to the obvious.

One night. That was all it took for Holliday’s world to be flipped on its axis. Jack Dalton was cocky. Smug. Volatile. Demanding. He ignited something deep inside her like no other, but there was something more to this brooding bad boy. There was a dark side to him she couldn’t help but be drawn to.

Torn between what she knew about him and a mysterious side he tried to hide, could she walk away or was he simply too hard to resist?

Excerpt

Wait. Don’t go. Stay. Whether we have sex or not, I just want your company.” His expression appears sincere, but he seems to have several sides to him.

With my back against the door, I keep my eyes on his. “Look. I don’t sleep around… much. But I have slept with someone just because it was Wednesday.” I shrug. “So I’m not innocent over here, but I work hard and I have a pretty crappy social life because of it. Sometimes it’s nice to feel a warm touch that vibrates with excitement instead of a cold one that’s battery-operated.” I step forward as if I owe him more, more of an explanation, or more of me, I’m not sure. “Judge me if you must, but I’m in Vegas and now officially on vacation. And despite what you may think, I’ve only had the one drink so far today, so I’m not drunk. I’m a grown woman who appreciates a handsome face and the artistry of a tattoo that has meaning to the person wearing it. I actually thought we’d have dinner and a good time. All that came from somewhere pure, somewhere that now feels dirty, a little tainted. So I’m going now and if one day you find yourself not so lost in Los Angeles, you know my information.”

I don’t wait for a response or apology. I don’t know Dalton well enough to know if he’d offer one anyway. So I go without looking back, passing the room service waiter on the way, and hop in an elevator that’s for the exclusive use of the two penthouses.

Half expecting to hear him call after me, my finger hovers over the Lobby button, but I count to ten and when I don’t hear anything, I push it. The doors start to close when a hand reaches in, stopping them. Dalton peeks around the corner with a big smile in place, and says, “Can we start over? Stay for dinner?”

“Why?”

“Because I like you. I like your honesty and I don’t get much honesty in my line of work.”
“You’re an undercover narc. Of course you don’t get much honesty. Isn’t that why you got into the business?”

A sly smile crosses his face, revealing a small dimple in his cheek. A light sparks from within, reflecting in his eyes, and with a nod of his head, he says, “Come back. I’ll feed you and give you the sex you came up here for. Because it’s a Friday and while Friday may not be hump day, it’s still a damn good day of the week.”

My mouth drops open. “The sex? You’ll give me the sex because it’s Friday?” I roll my eyes while huffing, and then push the lobby button twice.

Stepping inside, he blocks the doors from closing and a buzz is heard from overhead. With his arms stretched wide, he looks into my eyes. “No. I mean, if you want the food that’s currently getting cold inside, you can have it. If you want to have sex, let’s fuck. You can have anything you want.”

The elevator starts buzzing even louder, escalating its level of warning. Dalton spreads his feet apart to hold the doors open and reaches for me. “I’ll even call you Holli since that’s what you prefer.”

He’s sexy and when he’s flirting with me, even sexier. I can’t give in too easily though. I should make a few ground rules, or at least one. “I’ll only come back on one condition.”

“Name it.”

Tracey’s Review

Hot rock star alert! Jack Dalton is one sexy man, and ‘The Resistance’ gets five sizzling stars. If you’re looking for the hottest story to hit lately, look no further.

When Holliday Hughes and Jack Dalton meet in Las Vegas, she has no idea who he really is. She just sees a man that awakens every one of her senses and makes her leave her objections at the door. The sparks fly non-stop, and what begins as a weekend of off-the-charts passion give ways way to feelings that neither one expected. When Holli discovers Jack’s alter ego, she must decide whether she’s prepared to make the sacrifices necessary to stay in a relationship with him.

I picked up ‘The Resistance,’ and I could NOT put it down. This is by far one of my favorite reads of 2014, and here’s why: Jack Dalton is everything you look for in a BBF: sexy, snarky, smart, and with just a little bit, okay, a lot, of baggage. Once he decides he wants Holliday, there is no WAY that she’s going to be able to say no. It’s impossible not to love him, and to love them together. There were definitely moments that I wanted to throw my ereader across the room, but I hung in there, hoping that things would work out the way that I wanted.

“That’s the funny thing,” he says, keeping his voice low, just for my ears alone. “We try to label it to make ourselves feel less crazy for not being able to predict the outcome. But while we’re busy trying to define it, we miss the magic.”

I mean, come on, swoon-worthy, right?

I cannot recommend ‘The Resistance’ highly enough. Get out there and one-click it; you will not be sorry!

Let’s Misbehave By Kate Perry Blog Tour + Review + Giveaway

Posted on 05/02/2014 by Saucy Southern Readers

An Adult Contemporary Romance

Released April 14, 2014

Published by Phoenix Rising Enterprises, Inc.

Amazon | Barnes and Noble | iBooks | Kobo

Imogen Summerhill, box office darling, has never wanted to be in the spotlight less.

When racy photos—and video!—are leaked by her sleazy ex, her studio couldn’t be happier. All press is good press, and this will only enhance the intrigue about her upcoming blockbuster. But how is Gigi supposed to be taken seriously as an actress with all this inappropriate buzz? She’s Cate Blanchett, not Kim Kardashian.

But then Gigi meets Merrick Graham, the Bad Boy of Politics. The last thing either of them wants is to be tainted by more scandal: he needs the support of the conservatives, and she wants to untarnish her image.

Only they can’t resist each other—separately they’re good, but in the bedroom they’re even better. They can’t be seen together in public, but in private all’s fair game, and there’s plenty of room to misbehave…

Review

Let’s Misbehave is a fun and refreshing love story about two lovers that are doing their best to keep out of the media spotlight. I adored this story and fell in love with Merrick and Imogen. Katy writes some very spicy rendezvous between these two that will have your knickers in a twist for sure.

Imogen Summerhill is beautiful and extremely intelligent. She can speak nine languages and graduated at the top of her class but none of that matters now because all the media cares about are the dirty pictures and sex tape released to the world by her ex boyfriend Dirk.

Merrick Graham is trying to shed his bad boy image as rock star Ricky Hazard to be taken seriously as a politician. The last thing he needs is the media frenzy that is following around Imogen. She would bring him right back to Ricky after he has worked so hard to become Merrick the upstanding seriously boring member of Parliament.

When these two cross at a charity ball there is no denying the attraction.

“The caption says Merrick Graham, bad boy politician.” Imogen glared at the photo. “This conversation was perfectly innocent. I didn’t even know his name. The photo just makes it look like their were sparks.”

Katy does a great job developing two very fun characters in this story. They compliment each other quite well. He helps to keep Imogen’s bad girl tendencies at bay while she draws out his inner tiger.

Let’s Misbehave is the perfect book to start the spring season fresh and new. If you like sweet romance with a little spice you will love this read.

Last Day to Grab The Billionaire’s Game by J.S. Scott for only .99 cents

Posted on 05/02/2014 by Saucy Southern Readers

Synopsis

The Billionaire’s Game – The Billionaire’s Obsession ~ Kade

With his professional football career over due to a tragic accident, billionaire Kade Harrison takes on the task of solving a mystery for his brother-in-law and friend, Max Hamilton. Without his former career to fill every minute of the day, Kade’s looking for something to challenge him–now that he’s lost the career that had meant everything to him. But what starts out as a simple favor soon becomes a whole lot more than he bargained for when the woman he’s seeking slips away from him every time he gets close to finding her. When Kade does finally corner her, things start to get even more complicated. Asha Paritala is nothing like he expected, and the female he had tracked down as a favor for Max soon becomes a woman he wants for his very own, a woman who makes protective and highly predatory instincts he didn’t know he had flare to life inside him. Kade soon discovers that he wants Asha’s total surrender to the desire and passion that vibrates intensely between the two of them, but he also wants her trust, the one thing Asha’s history makes it difficult for her to give. Can Kade convince her that some things are worth risking it all?

Caught between two worlds, Asha Paritala is homeless, broke and damaged from a life of abuse and neglect. Born of an American mother and an Indian immigrant father, Asha was raised as an Indian woman by a foster family after the death of her natural parents when she was little more than a baby. She’s spent her entire life under the control of others until finally breaking free two years earlier, and she’s determined to keep her freedom, even if it means she has to struggle to survive. But when she meets Kade Harrison, her resolve is tested. After Kade helps her through a bad situation, she finds herself beginning to trust Kade as she’s never trusted a man before. Kade is everything she always thought a man should be, but can she lose herself in him completely when she knows she’s damaged and confused. And is it really possible that she could be a lost sibling to two people like Max Hamilton and Maddie Hudson? Asha is tempted by the possibility of family, and the irresistible lure of a man like Kade Harrison. Can a woman caught between two cultures, so flawed and so backward, really reach out and take what she wants, or will the instinct to run from the pain of her past destroy the hope of happiness for her future?

Find out if two broken souls can heal each other in The Billionaire’s Game, book 4 of The Billionaire’s Obsession series!!

This is a complete novel with no cliffhangers. 18+ due to sexual situations and graphic language.

Surrender by Melody Anne Blog Tour + Review + Giveaway

Posted on 05/01/2014 by Saucy Southern Readers

Title: Surrender
Series: Surrender #1
Author: Melody Anne
Publication Date: March 29, 2013

Summary: Raffaello (Rafe) Palazzo takes what he wants with no regrets. Arianna (Ari) Lynn Harlow has led a charmed life until tragedy strikes her family. He’s looking for a no-emotions attached mistress, she’s looking for redemption.

They are not a pair that should ever work, but undeniable attraction and devastating tragedies bring them together in the city by the bay where he fights to keep their relationship nothing more than an enjoyable way to meet his needs, and she battles to not lose herself in him. Spending time with Ari starts cracking the hard shell that Rafe has built around his heart, but he denies the affect she has on him until it’s too late to stop the inevitable conclusion that their relationship is headed for.

Rafe once believed in happily ever after, coming from a large Italian family. He’s got the Midas touch, since every endeavor he tries turns to gold. That all ends when his wife walks out the door and leaves him blindsided. His devastation quickly turns to steel when he decides no woman will fool him again. From that point on he treats relationships as nothing more than business transactions where both party’s come out mutually benefited.

Just when Ari has sunk to the lowest she’s ever been she finds an ad in the paper announcing a job that’s too good to be true. It turns out she’s right. She makes it through the intense rounds of interviews only to find out the job is for a mistress to the powerful Rafe Palazzo, owner of Palazzo Enterprises. Rafe gives her a day to think about whether she wants the position or not, and she’s sent on her way, only to find out her mother’s near-terminal position has taken a turn for the worse. Her mom’s only in the hospital because Ari messed up, and her mother’s the one who paid the price. Is Rafe her savior, or will he take her with him straight to the depths of hell?

Review

Surrender is scorching hot and will leave you panting for more. If you want to know what to read after The Fifty Shades of Grey this is it!

I read this series last year as it came out. Let me tell you I just about died after Surrender waiting for Submit. This book is that good and it is FREE right now so you have nothing to lose. Before writing this review I went back and re-read Surrender and it was just as good as it was the first time and I could not go to bed last night until I started Submit. I had to see what Ari was going to do again even though I knew what she was going to do. I had to read it again just to be sure :).

Rafe is a very alpha dominant male who puts an add in the paper for job that sounds too good to be true. His job description is very vague and Ari is intrigued. It pays quite a bit of money and she needs the money to pay for her mother’s medical bills. Ari is very sweet, highly intelligent, and witty. In the beginning she may seem a little timid but boy does she let Rafe have it. He is thrown off balance because no one has ever talked back to him and told him no. She becomes his biggest challenge and he goes above and beyond what he has ever done to have a woman. Even after all of his hard work she still says NO!. I absolutely love Arianna. She is spunky and I was on her side 100 percent.

Melody Anne does an amazing job with character development. Arianna is a girl after my own heart and let me tell you after I read this book the first time I hated Rafe. I had read all of Melody Anne’s Billionaire Bachelors Series and was super excited about this series and then I met Rafe and wanted to scream. By the time you get to the fourth book Scorched you are totally in love with him and realize that he was just scared of getting hurt again. This is a series that at the end I wanted to cry that it was over. My friends and I were hooked from the moment we finished Surrender.

Surrender will take you on a wild ride and leave you one-clicking Submit as soon as possible.

RETT_Cover

Rett Synopsis:

Barrett “Rett” Mason has never found the one girl who can tame his wild heart. And sometimes life is just easier and less complicated without love. While working for Kingston Construction, Barrett becomes fast friends with the owner’s son, Cole. They have one major thing in common– their insatiable appetite for women. But when Barrett meets Cole’s sister Finley, the easy, care-free, no commitment lifestyle he’d grown used to suddenly loses its appeal. Now Barrett has met his match and the one girl who is just too damn impossible to walk out on.

For several years Finley King has been a slave to the anxiety disorder that gripped her and kept her from enjoying life. Now with the support of her family, friends and medication she is on the mend but the one thing she lacks in her otherwise lush existence as a rock star’s daughter is passion. Barrett Mason is about to change that.
