BEING ZOLT by Dawna Raver


I waited and waited and waited. Okay a bit dramatic, but as soon as I finished Indulging Irelyn, I was ready to find out what the hell was gonna happen and how the bastard Marcus be punished for his cruelty.

Being Zolt was well, well worth the wait, and so many twists and turns in this book I was almost dizzy trying to keep up. Raver has an incredible gift of mastering each turn and twist and each is totally believable and after you read it you think to yourself "DUHHH...OF COURSE!!"

There are no spoilers here, because you truly have to read it to experience it.

This is NOT a standalone, you can't read this and understand the nuances and timeline without reading Indulging first.

I've heard a rumor that she is currently working on an unexpected third book in this series, Saving Kenna, and I'm not telling you why she needs saving, but I am sure this book will be sexier and hotter than the first two.

A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

GETTING WORKED UP by Erin Nicholas


The second book of the Sapphire Falls series, and so far is my favorite. I LOVE the super spunky and sexy Phoebe Sherwood, who is in love with the perfect man. Unfortunately her perfect man is in love with someone else. Phoebe and Matt have been buds for years, and at some point she knew she loved him. She just never had the nerve to tell him, but now he has told her his intentions to propose to another woman. That's when Phoebe decides to pull out all of the stops to convince Matt that ]she is his soulmate, not Nadia.

When hunky and handsome Joe Spencer, shows up in Sapphire Falls to stake his claim on his semi-fiance Nadia, Phoebe figures that she has found the perfect partner to help her get Matt back. It's a win-win, right?

What she didn't count on was falling in love with Joe. Joe certainly didn't see it coming either.


I found myself really mad at Matt, who made it clear to all of the boys/men in town that Phoebe was off limits, so Phoebe was friends to all, but very lonely.  This seemingly nice gesture was really his way of keeping Phoebe as a back up plan. He didn't want any of his friends "sleeping" with his potential wife.  By the end of the book he does redeem himself.

A++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Can't wait for the next in the series.



GETTING OUT OF HAND by Erin Nicholas



GETTING OUT OF HAND
Erin Nicholas

I am a tremendous Erin Nicholas fan, her books are hot and sexy and always full of humor. I was thrilled to see a new series, and her fictional town of Sapphire Falls is brilliant. Full of sexy men and a taste of Payton Place. Many of the residents have lived in Sapphire Falls for years, and most grew up there and know everything about everyone. That's where the true fun begins.

Gorgeous Mason Riley must face his childhood demons if he wants to attend his class reunion. In high school he was seen as the geeky need with a genus IQ. Now he's all grown up, filled out and wealthy. His goal? Win over the the girl who broke his heart, Hailey Conner, who happens to be the town mayor. And she needs him. Or rather needs his money. 

Hoping to get him to invest in her latest real estate venture she enlists her former college roommate and now assistant Adrianne Scott to help her seal the deal. Poor Hailey didn't count on shy and unassuming Adrianne falling in love with Mason. 

Book is a stand alone, which you know I love, but it is also a series where characters will be part of subsequent books, including the second in this series: Getting Worked Up.

This is a 5 star book, and you'll thank me for recommending it.
