Teasing Trent- M. Malone

So this was the prequel to One more Day. I am SO pissed I spent .99 cents on it when I could have bought a 200+ page book for .99 cents. she should have made this one free. It was like 59 pages, and it was a good 59 pages because she is a good writer, but c'mon! Maybe I should have read the reviews so I could have been warned. Anyways, it was good I would get it if she offers it for free, but I wouldn't buy it for a dollar. Sorry, I know I sound cheap but I read a TON of books and can get a lot more book for my dollar. When you are reading 3-5 books a week, it matters.












Would I recommend this? If it is offered for free, or she somehow takes it further and makes it longer, by about 150 pages.

Beauty from Pain - Georgia Cates

So with all the .99 cent books out there, I really hate buying one for 3.99 especially one with under 200 Nook pages! But, I read the sample and had to have it. I absolutely love the characters! I started reading it at 10 pm and was done at 3 am. Around 1:00 I went to put it down and was like screw it I need to finish it. I  loved the characters and the ending left me hanging so of course I will be reading part two (Due to come out in the early summer.) Again, this book has both, Laurelyn's point of view and Jack's point of view. Love that!
The book takes place in Australia, and I am not sure if the writer is from Australia but I noticed the American main character using some pretty strange terms, like pony tail holder. She is southern so maybe that is what they call it in the south but we call it an elastic. I have been in Texas for about six months and haven't heard that term either. Either way, I loved the book, I just always pick up on little things when the author is from another country and the character is supposed to be American. Then again, I am from Boston and we have a completely different language.





Would I recommend this book? Yes!!! It is a quick read, well worth it. Plus, it has a sequel and I am a sucker for a sequel.
Steaminess: Definitely three chili peppers, this book was hot.

Disarm Series- June Gray

I fell head over heels with the characters, Henry and Elsie in this book. I purchased this book when it was new, waiting for the next one and the next one to come out. I am not sure if she plans on putting these together all as one book. I do know another one is in the making and I am very much looking forward to it! Elsie's brother was killed in action and she and Henry (her brother's friend and an Officer in the Air Force) live together. One night everything changes. This book made me laugh and literally cry, tears and all.

Here is a list of the books in order:

1. Disarm
2.Besiege
3. Retreat
4. Henry Sessions- this book is optional it is just Henry's psych sessions
5. Engage
6. Capture
7. Who knows! I hope she announces soon!


Would I recommend this book: yessssss!
Steaminess: Varies with book over all I would give it 1, but trust me it is a great book even if there weren't a million "love scenes"

Vanilla on Top- C.J. Ellison

I was hesitant about this book, because of the title. But, I actually really liked it. I thought it had a good story line and I really liked both of the characters, Tony and Heather. I really love books that show both of the characters sides. Ellison goes back and forth with the characters, showing it from both points of view.

One More Day- M. Malone/Minx Malone

So I started reading this book not realizing there was a prequel before it, so I will read that ASAP. I NEVER do that. How annoying. Anyway, I loved this book. It has a really good story line and wasn't my usual read with the overbearing man. Jackson, the leading man in this book was actually really nice and had none of the characteristics I usually love my male characters having. Ridley was a great character too, even if she frustrated me at times. I look forward to reading the next book. I love, love, love sequels. I love them more when they are about the main characters, but I am interested to hear about Jackson's brother.

Books in this series:
1. Teasing Trent <--- got to get this since this is the one I missed
2. One More Day
3. The things I do for You - this will be out 5/2012
4. He's the Man - this will be out 10/2013 <--- Thanks for keeping us waiting Minx! :)







Would I recommend this book? Yes!

Beautiful Bastard- Christina Lauren

I loved this book! An egomaniac COO and his intern. It was hot. It was quite a short read though, I read it in one night. There were a ton of hot scenes and it was a good story line. I found this to be an easy read that I found hard to put down.




Would I recommend this book? Yes, yes, yes!
Steaminess: three chili peppers

50 Shades of Grey - E.L. James

I don't really think a review of this book is necessary, it's popularity speaks for itself. This was the hottest book I have read for sure! Christian is a controlling billionaire, who in real life we would probably strangle, but on paper is it so hot. Ana is the innocent who fell in love with him and agrees to his contract. The sequel, 50 Shades Darker was just as hot, man can this woman write love scenes. And, the final book 50 Shades Freed was wonderful as well though many people thought it was a little dragged out, I couldn't ever get enough of Christian. The way she ended the book has me wondering if there will be a 4th book from Christian's point of view. I sure hope so!  I read the entire trilogy in 4 days.







Would I recommend this book: Hell yes! It should be at the top of your list.
This book was so hot a chili pepper won't cut it so it got a ghost pepper.

Having My Baby - Theresa Ragan

This book was really cute. It wasn't very realistic but if you are looking for a cute, funny and a little bit sexy read it was good. Who doesn't love a sexy football player...well besides the main character, Jill's, parents? The book is about a woman who turns to a sperm bank to get the baby she always dreamed of and Derrick is the donor. He decided he didn't want to have a child he didn't know out in the world, so his search began for the mother.


Would I recommend it? Yes for a fun read.

Steaminess got one chili pepper.
