Afterburn & Aftershock by Sylvia Day Narrated by Amy McFadden 2 novellas, sexy standalone.

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

Claiming Alexis (Ace Security 2) by Susan Stoker Narrated by Erin Bennett Romantic Suspense, 2nd in a series about different couples. It is better if you read Claiming Grace first.

Taming Mr. Flirt by A.M. Madden and Joanne Schwehm Standalone contemporary romance, related to another. I absolutely loved Finding Mr. Wrong by A.M. Madden and Joanne Schwehm, so I couldn’t wait for Kyle and Nessa’s story in Taming Mr. Flirt. 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.

Raw Need by Cherrie Lynn Standalone Contemporary Romance. Part of an interrelated Series. I enjoyed Raw Deal by Cherrie Lynn (my review), but it didn’t completely wow me like her Ross Siblings Series did. But I had high hopes for Raw Need.

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.
