Dirty Rich One Night Stand by Lisa Renee Jones Adult Contemporary, Courtroom, Suspense. Can stand alone.

The crazy, pranking, slutty best friends are always the best stories. “Are you just going to flirt with me or… Read More
On The Plus Side by Alison Bliss Interrelated Standalone. Contemporary Romance. I really loved Size Matters, the first book in the Size Matters series (see my review), because I found the heroine to be the most relatable heroine ever.

Under Locke by Mariana Zapata Narrated by Callie Dalton Standalone New Adult Romance Under Locke by Mariana Zapata has been on my radar since it released.
