Wow, so in compiling this list, I realized that the same authors dominated my list again! Kristen Ashley, Tara Sivec, Mia Sheridan, Harper Sloan & RK Lilley are all going to be at Wicked Book Weekend next month, and they dominate my list! Also, Jasinda Wilder, a 3x author at Wicked Book Weekend and Colleen Hoover has gone as well. As much as I want to diversify my reading a little, these authors keep pulling me in for more, because they never fail! Sure I have some other authors on here, who are now new favorites. It’s so hard to find time for new authors when you love so many that you can’t miss their books! I am striving to read more new-to-me authors this year,
I also noticed my list is dominated by light and happy books. This year I am going to tryĀ to read a bigger variety. We will see how it goes!
This list started in order…but then after the first few, kind of lost any order. So with our further blabbering, here are the 2014 Favorites!
The Will (The Magdalene Series Book 1)
Ā by Kristen Ashley
Early in her life, Josephine Malone learned the hard way that there was only one person she could love and trust: her grandmother, Lydia Malone. Out of necessity, unconsciously and very successfully, Josephine donned a disguise to keep all others at bay. She led a globetrotting lifestyle on the fringes of the fashion and music elite, but she kept herself distant.
While Josephine was trotting the globe, retired boxer Jake Spear was living in the same small town as Lydia. There was nothing disguised about Jake. Including the fact he made a habit of making very bad decisions about who to give his love.
But for Josephine and Jake, there was one person who adored them. One person who knew how to lead them to happiness. And one person who was intent on doing it.
Even if she had to do it as her final wish on this earth.
Panties off, Josie,ā he ordered, his voice rough and commandingā¦ā
āNever keep anything from me, I donāt give a shit how you think Iām gonna react. Iāll react how I react. I will NEVER harm you doinā it.

Tattoos and TaTas (Chocoholics 2.5)
Ā by Tara Sivec (Can stand alone)
Claire and Liz have always had a friendship that defied the test of time, but when one of them is diagnosed with a disease that every woman fears, their bond is put through the wringer. How do you cope knowing your soul mate could be taken from you?
Filled with memories of their life long friendship, inappropriate behavior, bad tattoos and shaving cats, the two friends will realize that laughter really is the best medicine.
Tattoos and TaTas is not your typical love story; it’s a story of friendship and learning how to let go when something is beyond your control.
Right at that moment, I knew that I would do anything for my best friend. I would hold her hand when she was in pain, scream at my catatonic fiancĆ© when he saw her vagina and sit by her side when she became a mom. There was nothing I wouldnāt do for her and I knew thatās how it would always be.ā

CAGE: Greg Cage was born to protect. While growing up, he was his mother and sisterās shield against the world⦠until he failed. For the last decade, he has carried that guilt and need for vengeance around⦠until it was stripped from him. Now, with his best friend getting married and no longer needing his protection, he is even more lost, completely adrift, and desperate for some control.

She has been the rock in her family for more years than she can remember, and the fight to keep them together is her main priority right now. She has always been fiercely independent and proud.

But when that choice is out of her control, forcing her to rely on others to save her and her family, and pick up the pieces that are left, will she be able to let someone else be her strength?
The second Greg locks eyes with Meli, he knows that she is someone he needs. Someone he craves. Meli knew the second she met Greg that he would be nothing but trouble and heartache. Her life takes an unexpected turn, and that bitch Fate is back to wreak more havoc on another member of the Corps family.

Locke (Corps Security Book 6)
Ā by Harper Sloan
Locke: Darkness is the only thing I see. Ever since the day my life changed. The day that everything and everyone I held close to me ceased to exist. The day I lost it all and the demons of my past consumed my every waking moment.
I tried to keep others at armās length. Tried not to let my darkness taint them. Ruin them. Harm them. And whether I want to admit it or not, as much as I wish I could keep them locked out, they refuse to leave. Refuse to let me suffer alone.
If I hadnāt been so focused on keeping those demons from flying free, I wouldnāt have missed how one perfect angel was able to sneak her way under my skinārefusing to let go. Making me want things I donāt deserve.
She consumes me. Her beauty knows no end. The love she promises tempts me every time sheās near. But that pure heart that makes her MY Emmy is the one thing Iām convinced Iāll destroy if I ever let her close.
Iām a broken man. A broken man with too much darkness in his soul to ever let her light shine upon me. But even that doesnāt stop me from craving her with every single breath in my body.
I know exactly what I’m talking about. I know because my soul recognizes its mate. Its kindred spirit. We both have our pain, Maddox. We both have the shame of our past and the fear it holds on the future. The only difference is that you let that pain and fear rule your heart. And the difference in me is that I am willing to risk it all day in and day out for just a second of your love.”

Becoming Calder,Ā Finding Eden
Ā by Mia Sheridan
*MUST be read together. This is 2 parts.
Becoming Calder: There is a place in modern day America with no electricity, no plumbing, and no modern conveniences. In this place, there is no room for dreams, no space for self-expression, and no tolerance for ambition.
In this place, there is a boy with the body of a god and the heart of a warrior. He is strong and faithful and serves his family honorably. But he dares to dream of more.
In this place, there is a girl with the face of an angel and a heart full of courage. To her family, she is the vision of obedient perfection. But she dares to want that which she has been told can never be hers.
Becoming Calder is the story of good versus evil, fear versus bravery, and the truth that the light of love has always found its way into even the darkest of places . . . From the beginning of time, to the end of the world.
The gods created this place for usā¦so weād have a place to fall in love.ā
āCalder kissed me in a way that made me believe I had not only always been his, but I would be his forever. In this life or any other.ā
Finding Eden: Finding Eden is the continuation, and conclusion, to Becoming Calder.
When the world as you know it has ended, when all that you love has been washed away, where do you find strength?
When the new world you’ve stepped into is as isolating as the last, when your heart is broken, and your future is unclear, where do you find hope?
Finding Eden is a story of strength, discovery, forgiveness, and undying love. It is about believing in your destiny and following the path that leads to peace.
I think we have to focus on on the beauty weāve been given in this life, and make that the thing that defines us.ā
Becoming CalderĀ is about hope. Itās about undying love in the worst circumstances and has a good vs. evil theme throughout.Ā Finding EdenĀ is about strength, about forgiving yourself, and finding the road to happiness. Together, the two books are definitely going into my all-time favorites group. Filled with so much emotion and heart, this duo of books is one I canāt wait to get signed atĀ Wicked Book Weekend.

Alpha
Ā by Jasinda Wilder
The first time it happened, it seemed like an impossible miracle. Bills were piling up, adding up to more money than I could ever make. Mom’s hospital bills. My baby brother’s tuition. My tuition. Rent. Electricity. All of it on my shoulders. And I had just lost my job. There was no hope, no money in my account, no work to be found. And then, just when I thought all hope was lost, I found an envelope in the mail. No return address. My name on the front, my address. Inside was a check, made out to me, in the amount of ten thousand dollars. Enough to pay the bills and leave me some left over to live on until I found a job. Enough to let me focus on classes. There was no name on the check, just “VRI Inc.,” and a post office box address for somewhere in the city. No hint of identity or reason for the check or anything. No mention of repayment, interest, nothingā¦except a single word, on the notes line: “You.” Just those three letters.
If you receive a mysterious check, for enough money to erase all your worries, would you cash it?
I did.
The next month, I received another check, again from VRI Incorporated. It too contained a single word: “belong.”
A third check, the next month. This time, two words. Four letters. “To me.”
The checks kept coming. The notes stopped. Ten thousand dollars, every month. A girl gets used to that, real quick. It let me pay the bills without going into debt. Let me keep my baby brother in school and Mom’s hospice care paid for. How do you turn down what seems like free money, when you’re desperate? You don’t. I didn’t.
And then, after a year, there was a knock on my door. A sleek black limousine sat on the curb in front of my house. A driver stood in front of me, and he spoke six words: “It’s time to pay your debt.”
Would you have gotten in?
I did.
It turns out $120,000 doesn’t come free.
One word out of you, and Iāll snap. Iāll pull into the nearest alley and fuck you where you sit. Youāre flushed and nervous and the most beautiful thing Iāve ever seen, and you smell like expensive wine and good food and pussy. Iām barely holding onto my restraint right now.ā

Lovely Trigger (Tristan & Danika Book 3)
Ā by RK Lilley.
Does not stand alone, but it is a 5 star series.
BOOK THREE: TRISTAN & DANIKA
THE IMPACT
Tristan hit rock bottom, and no one felt the impact harder than Danika. She was forced to see, in the most brutal of ways, that love does not conquer all. Bruised, bloody, and broken she had to walk away.
THE AFTERMATH
Picking up the pieces of your life after a tragedy is a daunting prospect, and thatās considering you still own all of the pieces. But what if you donāt? What if someone else owns those pieces, and those pieces are a part of your soul?
You dig deep and work with what youāve got.
Thatās what Danika told herself and believed, every single day, for years.
Tristan and Danikaās love had failed every test that life had thrown at them. She couldnāt forget that, not for one second. And if those tests had been overly harsh, well, she wasnāt one to wallow in self-pity. The failure was the thing she had to focus on. The failure was the lesson. She had no intention of working so hard to make it out of hell without learning that lesson well.
THE REUNION
Over six years after the night that changed everything, Danika finds herself forced to spend the weekend constantly in Tristanās company, as they attend the wedding of two of their dearest friends. Itās been long enough that she feels they can be friendly again without it destroying her peace of mind, but just a small amount of time in his presence has her remembering something she had forced herself to forget: Thereād been a reason sheād gone through hell with this man, for this man, some true good to precede the bad.
She shocks herself by quickly giving in to a hunger that she never imagined could still consume her.
Even the best intentioned denial has a breaking point.
THE HARSH REALITY
After everything thatās happened, the rise and the fall, the pain and the aftermath, can these two navigate the waters of acute regret, survive the trials of coming face to face with all that they have lost, and find the strength to try again?
Love doesnāt let you walk away clean. Love is messyā¦. Love takes a fucking piece of you before itās done.ā

When Tucker Branch, playboy heir to Branch Bolt and Screw, screws and bolts a week before their wedding, Mia Devine wants nothing more than to crawl under her newly monogrammed sheets and plan a funeral for her dignity.

She never planned on meeting Lucas Fournier.

Nor is the simultaneous O.
The last thing Mia needs is another doomed love affair, but since she only has a week, she figures she might as well enjoy la vie en O with Lucas while she can. But each dayāand nightāwith Lucas is better than the last, and suddenly her heart is telling her this is more than a rebound fling.
Is it just the seduction of Parisā¦or could this be the real thing?
It felt so different, soĀ goodĀ to have someone willing to take his time. Someone to care about fulfilling my needs, someone who wanted to please me.
Someone who whispered my name in awe as he held himself deep within me.

Perfect TenĀ byĀ Nikki Worrell
Standalone
Joseph Starling Jr. was in the right place at the right time. It didnāt take him long to discover his particular talent. He knew how to make a woman feel good. If she wasnāt screaming out his name, purring like a kitten or clawing at him like a lioness, he had failed. Mediocre was not a word in his vocabulary. Her enjoyment was so important to him that his own pleasure was a secondary concern.
Faith Graham was nothing like the women he was required to date as an escortāit was what he liked about her from the first time he saw her. She was imperfect and insecure. Her hair was a bit on the wild side, and her clothes were slightly rumpled. But her curves! They were alluring. She had curves where most of the elite clientele he mingled with had straight lines, and not an ounce of softness to be found. Shocking him to his core, she didnāt want anything to do with him.
Joe had always thought that working as an escort for Perfect Ten was a dream come true, but he was beginning to wonder if there was more to life than raking in the cash and having his pick of women on any given night. Could he start over with a new direction in life, or was he already at the age of twenty-six too jaded? Was there more out there for Joe Starling or was he destined to be a boy toy at the whim of any woman rich enough to afford him?
Hey, we just met, and I donāt mean to be rude, but I like my womenā for lack of a better wordā womanly. I need softness and curves. Iām sure plenty of men find your type attractive, but Iām not one of them.ā I pulled Faith close again lowering my hand to rest on the soft curve of her bottom. āI certainly find your sister womanly though.ā
I thinkĀ Perfect TenĀ is great for any woman who loves a happier, upbeat, very sexy book. Do you have to be chubby to read this? NOT AT ALL. Though it’s nice to be able to relate, I think most women have felt that “why would he want me?” feeling, andĀ Perfect TenĀ nailed it.

Sasha is the first book in the connected standalone series Mixed Drinks
When it comes to relationships, I have really bad luck. Each time I meet a guy, I cross my fingers and hope he is at least halfway normal. Iām so tired of dealing with crybabies and freak shows that I could just scream. At this point, Iām so close to just joining a convent, taking the vow of chastity, and calling it quits with men entirely. Well, I probably donāt need to go to that extreme… I mean who am I kidding? There’s no way I could be a nun. But becoming an old crotchety lady with 20 cats lurking around? Now THAT is a definite possibility. That is until I see him, my brown-eyed stallion man, swooping in to save me from an unforeseen wrinkly old balls attack, and then… he is gone. Well, not gone completely, because I canāt stop fantasizing about him.
I fantasize about him so much that when I finally do see him again, I make a complete and total ass of myself. Several times in fact. How I do not drop dead of embarrassment right then and there is beyond me.
So, remember I said I have really bad luck? Well, sit back, grab a glass of wine or your favorite mixed drink, and let me tell you how it all started, and how it all ends…

Flat-Out Celeste (Flat-Out Love Book 3)Ā by Jessica Park
Can totally stand alone, but so much better if you read at least Flat Out Love (one of my all-time favorites) first.
For high-school senior Celeste Watkins, every day is a brutal test of bravery. And Celeste is scared. Alienated because sheās too smart, her speech too affected, her social skills too far outside the norm, she seems to have no choice but to retreat into isolation.
But college could set her free, right? If she can make it through this grueling senior year, then maybe. If she can just find that one person to throw her a lifeline, then maybe, just maybe.
Justin Milano, a college sophomore with his own set of quirks, could be that person to pull her from a world of solitude. To rescue herāthat is, if sheāll let him.
Together, they may work. Together, they may save each other. And together they may also save another coupleātwo people Celeste knows are absolutely, positively flat-out in love.
Whether you were charmed by Celeste in Flat-Out Love or are meeting her for the first time, this book is a joyous celebration of differences, about battling private wars that rage in our heads and in our hearts, andāvery much soā this is a story about first love.
I have social difficulties. I do not always read situations properly. Or, more correctly, I do not always read people properly.ā
āMaybe people donāt read you properly.ā
āThat is a generous way to see me.ā
āItās the only way to see you.ā

The Replacement | The PrisonerĀ Ā by Rachael Wade
The Replacement: A gritty New Adult drama about a young womanās self-destructive quest to find purpose, self-worth, and love in a broken world.
My name is Elise Duchamp. Iām twenty-three years old and Iām known as the town whore.
No, not the kind who exchanges sexual favors for money. The other kind. The kind who gives it all away for free, whenever and however she likes. I am that girl. The one everyone whispers about and the one none of the girls seem to like, because all of their boyfriends either want to sleep with me or already have. Promiscuity is my thingāthe kind that slowly, violently turns my insides black, but gives me something I need.
All things considered, Iām not completely reckless. Iām safe, and contrary to popular opinion, I do have a heart. I live in a world of careless choices, and with those choices come careless people. I cannot judge them, because I am one of them. I too bow down to the altar of the self-serving. I am not a good friend. I am not and never could be anyoneās girlfriend. Iām convinced any goodness in me shriveled up and died long ago.
But I am a replacement. That is something I know how to be, and this is a story of the lengths Iād go to in order to keep it that way.
Iām Elise Duchamp, and I destroy relationships. Ā I destroy people. Ā Wives, girlfriends, good people. Ā People like you. Ā I fuck their husbands, their boyfriends, eat their food, sleep in their beds.ā
The Prisoner: ***THE PRISONER is a novella (approx. 25,000 words) intended to be read AFTER The Replacement. Contains explicit material and language.***
My name is Christian Walker, and Elise Duchamp is my drug of choice.
No matter how hard I try to break the habit, itās a lost cause. Okay, maybe I havenāt really tried to quit this particular habit. All I can think about is owning her. Making her mine. Can you really blame me? With that sinful body, luscious mouth, and wicked tongue, sheās every manās dream, and she knows it.
No one is immune to her charm, not even me, a man who has everythingāa beautiful wife, an office with a view, and more money than most people can spend in one lifetime. Only I know how to make her toes curl. Only I know her body better than the other men she screws in her free time. None of them can compare to me.
But the joke is on me. Iām the prisoner.
The one who will never compare to him. The one man who makes me see red. His name is stored in her cell phone. Itās the first one she calls out to, the first one she cries for when all hell breaks loose. Ryder Jacobson.
The name makes me cringe.
She loves him, and I love her. In my own way, I always will. But the bad guy doesnāt always belong with the bad girl. Sometimes the bad girl needs a good man to believe in her, to give her that final push toward ultimate transformation. I wish I was that good man. That I could be her happily ever after. I guess thatās the thing about prisoners, though. Theyāre left alone with their torment, and in the end, they have no one to blame but themselves.
Now do as I say, Elise, and youāll come so hard you wonāt ever want another man to fuck you. Only me.ā
This was a unique story with a truly beautiful underlying message. Ā This story is about loving without conditions, but even more so, learning to love yourself. Eliseās journey was a tough one, yet there was hope throughout the entire book. Rachael did an amazing job with this story. It is not often an author can take a character we should all hate and make her someone to root for, but Rachael did just that, and taught us all a lesson at the same time.
I have a strong aversion to cheating books. When I told Rachael I would readĀ The Replacement, I hadnāt been sure what I was getting into. Then I read it, and fell in love, despite all of my misgivings. ThenĀ withĀ The Prisoner, once again, I love a cheater. How Rachael Wade can work her mojo into making me love a cheater, I donāt know. But she did it twice. I usually like to let standalones stay alone. I never beg for a sequel. But I wanted more Christian. I got itābut now I want even more!

Captured
Ā by Jasinda and Jack Wilder
Love is never easy. It’s especially difficult when you love a Marine. I knew the risk when I said “I do”, but I chose to love anyway.
In a flash, he was taken from me, and now I’m alone. Struggling and desperate. There’s no hope, no future. Just the endless cycle of day-to-day survival. But a letter returned could change all of that.
Hope and love often come from the last place you’d think to look, when you least expect it.
* * *
I was a lost, broken soul, tortured by the memories of what I’d endured. When I visited that old farmhouse in rural Texas, all I wanted to do was return the letter. Keep a promise to a friend.
What I got was healing. Understanding. The chance to find a measure of peace when all I’ve ever known is war.
We both lost everything. But in each other, we found something worth fighting for.
***This is a full length, stand-alone contemporary romance, set in the world of WOUNDED**
You look at me like Iām beautiful, and I really like feeling beautiful again. I like it, and I donāt want to give it up.ā
āI like the way you make me feel, too. Like Iām a real man again. Like Iām more than just the soldier with scars and PTSD and a sack load of psychological damage. Like Iām more than the fucked-up ex POW.ā

Ā by Tessa Bailey
Her mind rejects his world. But her body knows its master.
Journalist Caroline Preston arrives at Serve, New York City’s hottest BDSM club, with one goalāto hate it. If her brother wasn’t trying to turn the family’s respectable financial magazine into a publication that features “lifestyle” pieces for the wealthy and adventurous, she wouldn’t even be there, trying to write an article about a world she doesn’t understand.
But then she sees him.
Jonah Briggs doesn’t leave his post for just anyone. As the owner of the club, his sole purpose is to ensure that his clientele get everything they need, but when he sees Caroline, his only thought is what he wantsāto dominate the sexy little reporter and give the most exquisite pleasure she’s ever experienced.
Caroline has no intention of entering that particular lion’s denānot with her family’s reputation at stakeāno matter how dark, sexy, and complex the lion in question may be. But with every encounter, she craves more, and with every slide of his lips, she realizes Jonah might just be the man to break down all her defensesā¦if she’ll let him.
Careful, baby. You’re giving yourself away. You love it, don’t you? That sharp bite echoing between your gorgeous, shaking thighs? Who’s the one providing the bite, Caroline?
“You are, Master.”
“That’s right. Thank me for your punishment.ā

Maybe Someday | Maybe Not: A Novella
Ā by Colleen Hoover
Maybe Someday: At twenty-two years old, Sydney has a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her best friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers Hunter’s cheating on her–and she is left trying to decide what to do next.
Sydney becomes captivated by Ridge, her mysterious neighbor. She can’t take her eyes off him or stop listening to the passionate way he plays his guitar every evening out on his balcony. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either. When their inevitable encounter happens, they soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one…
Iām convinced that people come across others in life whose souls are completely compatible with their own. Some refer to them as soul mates. Some refer to it as true love. Some people believe their souls are compatible with more than one person, and Iām beginning to understand how true that might be.ā
Maybe Not: Colleen Hoover, the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe Someday, brilliantly brings to life the story of the wonderfully hilarious and charismatic Warren in a new novella, Maybe Not.
When Warren has the opportunity to live with a female roommate, he instantly agrees. It could be an exciting change.
Or maybe not.
Especially when that roommate is the cold and seemingly calculating Bridgette. Tensions run high and tempers flare as the two can hardly stand to be in the same room together. But Warren has a theory about Bridgette: anyone who can hate with that much passion should also have the capability to love with that much passion. And he wants to be the one to test this theory.
Will Bridgette find it in herself to warm her heart to Warren and finally learn to love?
Maybe.
Maybe not.
I feel like Iām two different people right now. Iām a guy who finds his new roommate insanely attractive, but Iām also a guy who canāt stand to be around his bitchy new roommate.ā

Seventeen years old when he broke my heart.
Seventeen days later when another picked up the pieces.
Seventeen years together.
Seventeen thousand problems.
Seventeen days of reliving my past and finding a new future.
Seventeen minutes until it all went up in flames.
Seventeen breaths until I took my last.
This is my storyā¦and itās going to burn.
The look in Collinās eyes as he continues to turn up the bass tells me he is definitely going to fuck me like an animal right now. And heāll make me love every dirty minute of it.ā
I just reread it and loved it just as much the second time!

Play (Stage Dive Series Book 2)
Ā by Kylie Scott
Play was such a FUN read! I loved Lick, but Play just had that extra special element that I couldnāt quite put my finger on. Or maybe I canā¦itās MAL! I loved Malā¦he made me laugh out loud so many times while reading this book. I mean, come on!
āHello, Anneās clitoris. Itās me, Malcolm, your lord and master.ā
But aside from the funny, there was also the sweet…
āPumpkin, Iām always serious when it comes to you. Even when Iām messing around, Iām still serious as shit. Whatever you need, whatever I have to do. Itās been that way since we met. Havenāt you noticed yet? Weāre fucking destined or something. I canāt help myself. Itās pathetic, really.ā
Honestly, the whole series is great. I am really looking forward to the fourth and final book, Deep.
Locke (Corps Security Book 6)
Ā by Harper Sloan
Holy shit. I cannot possibly put into words how much I ADORED this final chapter to the Corps Security series. I have been dying for Maddoxās story since the very first book. So dark, so mysteriousā¦you KNEW he was harboring deep pain. And you just NEEDED him to find his happily ever after. Harper ROCKED this book. So much heartache, so much healing, so much love. Both of their stories had me in tears. There are two quotes that MADE this book for me.
āIām going to be worthy of you Emmy,ā I vow softly, my cheek pressed against hers and my lips whispering my promise in her ear. āI promise you, angel. Iām going to be the man you deserve. I — God — I f*ucking love you.āĀ
āMOMMY! I wanna be a transformer just like Maddox Locke,āā¦.āBaby boy, you canāt just decide to be a transformer. Only special people get that honor and only God can pick them. But you know what? That means that Maddox is an even bigger superhero. Heās a transformer because he saved people.ā
This was the PERFECT ending to a BEAUTIFUL series. I canāt recommend this series enough. If you have not met Harperās boysā¦you need to rectify that immediately!
Stolen Course (Wrecked and Ruined Book 2)
Ā by Aly Martinez
This book left me speechless. No word can possibly convey the myriad of emotions I felt throughout this book. I was broken and slowly put back together. Heart-breaking, yet beautiful. A powerful story of love, hate, forgiveness, rebirth, and freedom. Just wow.
Brilliant, Aly Martinez, simply brilliant. This book is the second in the Wrecked and Ruined series. And while all of the books COULD be read as standalones, I highly recommend reading all of them in order. I am truly enjoying this series. It takes you on a CRAZY journeyā¦I LOVE it!
āForgiveness is a very abstract term. It doesnāt erase the past. It is not a magical switch you can flip or a stained rug you can just turn over. Itās merely a scar that covers a deep, dark gash that hate carved in your soul.ā

Hate: A Love Story
Ā by Laurel Ulen Curtis
I went into this book totally blind, not knowing anything other than the fact that it was love story of sorts… and by doing that, it added to all the heart wrenching goodness that is this book. I will share this… The book will induce an ugly cry, or several, so have the tissues nearby. Laurel nailed it. I can’t say any more because I don’t want to spoil anything. Just know, this book is simply amazing.
“What’s it like?…To be loved by someone and know they love you back?”
“It’s…powerful…and completely debilitating all at the same time. It’s ecstasy and agony, and it’s one of the single most terrifying feelings in the world…. It’s safety and danger, and the thought of living without it after you’ve had it is almost enough to make you stay away. But only almost. It’s the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever experienced.”
Assumption: Underground Kings
Ā by Aurora Rose Reynolds
Aurora Rose Reynolds has yet to disappoint me. I adore each and every one of her OTT alpha males and her strong female leads. Assumption was no exception. I loved Autumn’s spunkiness. And Kenton? Oh, Kenton. So rough on the outside, so adoring of the ones he loves on the inside. One of my favorite possessive traits was how he would wrap her hair around his hand when they feel asleep! So beautiful. Well done, Mrs. Reynolds, well done.
“You’re the glue that holds all of my broken pieces together”
Exposed by Fate (Entangled Brazen) (Serve)
Ā by Tessa Bailey
This. This book. This amazingly beautiful and steaming HOT book. What can I say to do it justice? This story was way more than what I expected…and I expected a lot. You see, I’m a hard core Tessa Bailey fan…I mean, mad hard core. So I knew I was in for a fantastic ride. Tessa told this story so so well. There was significantly more depth to it than just a dirty taking dominant playboy educating a successful interior designer trying to find and own her sexuality. There was so much more. I had so many feels reading this book. From hurt to love. From f#ckhot to sensuality sweet. This is a book about forbidden romance…two people who have known each other forever, but it was always “look but don’t touch”.
I fell hard for Oliver. He was hiding so much under the playboy facade he’d created for himself. And Eliza, who’d thrown herself so heavily into her work, her life was passing by. This couple was exquisite!
Overall, I give this book 10 stars for storyline and 10 flames for heat. It did, after all, have THE hottest shower scene in the history of ever.
Standing ovation, Tessa!!!
āHow did I survive this long without you? I love you, Eliza. Itās all I can feel. Iām made of it. If youāve got even an ounce of this for me, Iām so damn grateful.ā
Archer’s Voice
Ā by Mia Sheridan
I adored this book. So unique. So original. So beautiful. If you havenāt read it yet, GET IT NOWā¦seriously, stop what you are doing and click this book now. Iāll waitā¦..you can thank me laterā¦.after your world has been rocked on its axis.
āI didnāt know enough to dream of you, Bree, but somehow you came true anyway, How did that happen?… Who read my mind and knew exactly what I wanted, even when I didnāt?ā
Staking His Claim (Entangled Brazen) (A Line of Duty)
Ā by Tessa bailey
Matt Donovan. Matt mother effing Donovan. Itās no secret that I adore Tessa Bailey and all of her dirty talking alphas. But Matt Donovan has a special place in my heart. This story was fantastic. I gobbled it up in one sittingā¦foregoing bathroom breaks and other important things, like eating. Check it outā¦you wonāt regret it.
āLucy Mason, you brought the color in. You brought me to life when I didnāt even realize that Iād stopped breathing.ā
Seriously??? SWOON!!!!
Apartment 2B
Ā by K Webster
So beautiful. So completely soul wrenching. So utterly perfect. I don’t want to give anything away, so all I can say is BUY THIS BOOK. You will not regret it.
Pure genius.
āWith one last glance over my shoulder, I feel whole knowing that they are happy. Thatās my last thought as I find peace. At last.ā
Closer to the Edge (Playing With Fire #4)
Ā by Tara Sivec
Wow. I don’t even have words to describe my feelings after reading this book. This story was the perfect end to this series. I had ALL the feels…I was happy, swooning, laughing, heartbroken, angry, and so very sad…then I felt healed, warm, and joyous. This was a sensationally BRILLIANT masterpiece from Tara Sivec. I can’t write a review that would do it justice. All I can say is buy this book, grab some wine and tissues, and settle in for a beautifully emotional ride.
āYouāre my home, my future, my everythingā¦youāre my yellow door, Liv.ā
The Saint– Tiffany Reisz – Boom. They don’t make enough stars for what I would give this book. Just when I thought this seriesĀ was utter perfection, Tiffany binds my heart and soul with her writing bondage. This book showed me why it’s called The Original Sinners. I loved every second of it. I want to lay in bed with Nora and have her tell me stories, too.
See the Original Sinners Series Order.
.
Take – (Temptation series book 2)- Ella Frank – I was so excited when I saw the cover for Take! I just knew Ella was going to deliver another amazing M/M story of Logan and Tate. I could read this book over and over. So damn HOT! “You make me crazy and furious and out of my mind with need, but in the end you make me so fucking happy. I can’t ever remember feeling this way.” **….and queue mini moan**
Make sure you read Try first (so freaking hot, the m/m for first timers.)
.
Fade In- M. Mabie – I stumbled upon this book by accident. It was like the universe aligned and had me run into this author on a post of Tara Sivec’s. It was meant to be! The characters in this book need to be my best friends. They would get me.My heart went out to Tatum as she was dealing with major life changes. However, my panties when out to the laundry after Ben showed up! He is in the running for serious book boyfriend status. Click this for a heartfelt yet hilarious ride!
.
Ricochet –(Renegades, book 3)– Skye Jordan – This could be my favorite of the series. Nathan is an Army Ranger. He is emotionally broken and looking for an escape before he goes back to the fields. Rachel Hart is looking for the same thing. Just to let loose and have some fun. āIām offering you exactly what you want. No-strings, no-shame, no-limits, no-complications, wicked-good sex. Complete with an agreed-upon end date, a vow of secrecy and an eight-thousand-mile anti-stalking guarantee when itās over.ā This was a very emotional read but in a beautiful HOT way.
Series: Reckless Ā | RebelĀ | Ricochet Ā | RumorĀ
Kaleidoscope (Colorado Mountain Series Book 6)Ā byĀ Ā Kristen Ashley- I love a story about people who were friends at first and then something more. Jacob Decker had his heart broken years ago and fate brought him to Gnaw Bone and back to Emme Holmes. Their story is sweet in only a way that KA can deliver.
āBecause it means that much to me, Iām gonna handle this with care. You just gotta believe me.ā
.
If Only- (Masters of the Shadowlands book 8) – Cherise Sinclair –Ā I absolutely LOVE the series. I was hoping at some point to read about Sally’s story and finally Cherise delivers! We see Sally give up on having a Dom of her own. Thankfully, Galen and Vance ( CO-TOPS!!!) come to her rescue in more ways than one. The books was off the charts HOT. Did I mention CO-TOPS?
See the Shadowlands series, and get the first one FREE! SO GOOD! They can stand alone.
.
Corps Security Series – Harper Sloan – I’m cheating a little and putting this whole series on my list. One, because at some point this year I have read them all and two you can pre-order the WHOLE series to be released on Jan 13. Hot. Alpha. Pierced, Tattooed, Sexy as Fuck Men!!

Archer’s Voice
Ā Mia SheridanĀ – I honestly can’t believe there are people on this earth that haven’t read this yet. I want to be like Oprah and scream ~ AND YOU GET ONE! AND YOU GET ONE! AND YOU GET ONE! This love story of sweet Archer Hale and Bree Prescott was a beautiful read. Such a different and heart warming story. You can’t help but want Archer for your very own.
.
Passion and PoniesĀ ( Chocoholics book 2) – Tara Sivec – I’ve never wanted to have a Brony in my life until I read this book. She really opened up my eyes. There has to be a Tyler in the world looking for me!! This is exactly what we have grown to love and snort laugh with a Tara Sivec story. I read this book in one sitting because, honestly, I just couldn’t stop!
“PANCAKES, PANCAKES, MOTHER FUCKING PANCAKES!”
.
Lovely Trigger (Tristan & Danika Book 3)Ā RK Lilley – This has to be way high up on my list of favorite couple. I absolutely love them together. I loved the visit from the Up In The Air series characters but I was greedy for more Tristan! Passionate, tragic and sexy – my must read of 2014.
