Hitched 3

I’ve ruined everything.

I’ve broken the cardinal rule and fallen in love with my fake wife, and then I went and did the worst thing a husband can do.

Winning her back will be nearly impossible, but I’ve never backed down from a challenge before and I’m sure as hell not about to start now. Olivia will be mine, and I can’t wait to put a bun in her oven.

You won’t want to miss the final installment in Noah and Olivia’s love story, and especially the way this over-the-top alpha male wins over his bride once and for all.

This is the third and final volume in the story.

Review by: Stacey 

4.5 stars for the final part of Kendall Ryan's awesome trilogy Hitched!!!  It's no secret I have been a huge fan of Noah and book 3 I love him even more!!! No matter what Olivia throws his way he fights for her and I love his commitment to making this fake marriage work.  I love how this book picked up right where book 2 ended and dove right into the story.  This book really shows how far the couple has gone and where their heart is. It's amazing to see how Kendall Ryan can be so creative to write such a fun, sexy and enticing read!  

I highly recommend this series and I loved every minute of it. Every one needs a little Noah Tate in their lives and no one knows that more than Olivia.

4.5 Stars 

Review by: Gina

This is the conclusion of Noah and Olivia's whirlwind courtship! As a whole series, it was something different. There was a lot of drama but also a lot of smoking hot togetherness. This book continues where Vol 2 ending and we find out what Noah was doing in the bathroom and Olivia's reaction. The first half of the book revolved around that and didn't progress as much as I wanted it to. But the book picked for for the second half. Olivia and Noah make up and push their differences aside and can actually see their true feeling for eachother. It was great to finally get a happy ending for this couple. Overall, it was a good book and a good series. I enjoyed reading these books from this author and look forward to reading more in the future.

Review by: Kim 

Olivia and Noah are at it again in this, the third volume of this highly entertaining book.
Kendall Ryan has given us a story full of warm fuzzy feels, angst and laugh out loud moments.
In the beginning we met a couple who through the manipulation of their father's found that in order to hold onto the legacy that said fathers' worked so hard for...a marriage was going to have to happen. And not only were Noah and Olivia to marry, but there had to be a little one on the way too. 
Only...Noah was the only one that knew this. Yes people, he screwed up and didn't open his mouth. 
In this last installment, Noah is scrambling hard to hold onto the only woman that ever made his heart feel something. 
Olivia runs..when things get hard or she needs to think, she runs from everything and everyone. And this time she's running from the man who mixes her up and makes her feel things that she's not sure she wants to feel.
Together, Noah and Olivia must decide whether meeting in the middle and figuring out how to make things work is worth the effort. 
Or will walking away from not just each other, but everything they thought they were fighting for be easier and better for the both of them?
Read this small series.

Jed Had To Die by Tara Sivec • COVER REVEAL

JED HAD TO DIE COVER REVEAL

NEW ROMANTIC COMEDY/MYSTERY from Tara Sivec
Releasing November 1st 2016 (ebook, paperback, and audible)





Blurb:
The happiest day of Payton Lambert's life was the day she graduated high school and watched Bald Knob, Kentucky get smaller and smaller in her rearview mirror. She wanted more for her life than a tiny town where everyone knows your business and you can’t find a decent cup of coffee for at least forty miles. Twelve years later, an unexpected phone call in the middle of the night has her packing up her life in Chicago and racing back home to the one person she ever regretted leaving behind.
Wait, one person?? Make that two. When the hell did Leo Hudson become sheriff of Bald Knob and get so hot? The scrawny Future Farmer of America who followed Payton around like a puppy and could recite cow insemination facts in his sleep is long gone. Leo is still hot on her heels, but now he's wearing a badge and dead set on solving a murder that may or may not involve Payton...along with half the town.
You steal a few wine coolers in high school and make one little comment about cutting off a man's balls when you come home, and suddenly, you're suspected of killing him.
In a town where the biggest crime happened the day Jethro Snell kicked a few of his cows (an honest mistake when you've had a few jars of homemade moonshine), people are pointing fingers, rumors are spreading like wildfire, and Payton swears she's only making out with the sweet-talking, studly sheriff to distract him from the secrets she's keeping.  
When you've been tased, peed on by a yippy dog named Bo Janges, and can't stop picturing what Sheriff Hudson looks like naked, it will be a tough job making everyone agree that...Jed had to die.

THE SUMMER GAMES: Out of Bounds by RS Grey • RELEASE DAY BLITZ & REVIEW


Title: The Summer Games: Out of Bounds
Author: R.S. Grey
Release Date: Aug 1, 2016
I despise Erik Winter.
He’s arrogant and cruel—a man I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy—and by some twisted turn of fate, he’s my new Olympic gymnastics coach.
I’ve had to contend with gruff coaches in the past, but Erik is far worse. His stern demeanor complements a body built for intimidation, and his reprimands come from a mouth so cunning, I know it could strip me of my defenses—if I let it.
Though each of us would love to be rid of the other forever, we are bound to each other by need and necessity. I’m his rising star, his best shot at proving himself to his critics. And without a coach, I have zero chance of winning gold in Rio.
The easiest way forward would be to wave a white flag and make peace with the man I’ll be sharing close quarters with for the foreseeable future, but he is intent on war.
Fine. By. Me.
If he pushes me, I’ll push back harder. If he wants to test me, to play with my head, I’ll show him just how many boundaries I’m willing to cross. Because I know it’s not a choice between winning or warring—not if you can have them both. At the end of it all, I plan on leaving Rio with gold around my neck and his icy heart in the palm of my hand.

Review by: Gina 

Another fantastic book for RS Grey!!! I am just loving this series!!! They are fun, exciting, filled with a lot of hotness! This book, The Summer Games Out of Bounds, is by far the hottest book that I have read from this author!!! Every once in awhile you will come across a scene in a book, read it, then decided it needs a re-read because it was that hot! Oh yes, yoga scene did that for me! It was a pleasant surprise from the author! 

I loved the storyline! The forbidden romance between an athlete and a coach. There was also that level of danger revolving around their relationship. Brie and Erik LOVED to push eachother buttons!!! I was getting frustrated for both of them! It was they MO, and it worked for them. Brie was a complicated character to me. She had that innocent vibe but then she was very confident. She said what was on her mind and did things because she wanted to do them and never thought of the consequences. But you could see a shyness or apprehensiveness to her when it came to Erik. She kind of bounced back and forth. There whole relationship was based on whether to give in to temptation or not to give in. You can see that war going on with the characters throughout the book. 

Overall, it was a fantastic read!!! There was a lot of stuff going on to keep you wanting to continue reading but it never seemed to drag on. You will get frustrated with these characters, but that's them. That's how they operate and it never changed through out the book. The book is funny, sassy, and oh so hot!!! I highly recommend! 

4.5 Stars 


Review by: Amy C 

"Crazy would be doing the same thing I always do but expecting me life to just change on its own. This nix me-us- doing something different".... About sums it up right here! Daring to live and do outside of the preconceived boxes they out themselves in, Brie and Erik need to break the mold. Both to set in their ways and hidden behind walls so tall they rival the Great Wall of China, these two need to figure their crap out and start living for the now. No past to define them and no future to hold hover them....right now. Once they let go sparks FREAK'N fly and their soar!!

Seriously as if this series couldn't get any cuter or sexier now we have gymnasts?? I never thought of them as hot or steamy but their descriptions alone set my mind a flutter and my heart into over drive. Hot coaches that bleed sexy and determined athletes that have ambition to burn equals a FANTASTIC read that kept me seriously on my toes the whole book. Brie can take the gold but its really Erik who discovers her worth is much greater than the gold around her neck.

LOVED LOVED LOVED this next edition in this already fabulous series!! I seriously couldn't wait for another installment. Although  I wasn't sure Rachel could top the soccer beauties from book 1, she steamed up the pages of this book nicely and left me with a whole new appreciation for grips and flips ;p. I completely loved the writing and the setting was a fun and thrilling ride. Great book, FREAK'N fantastic series and an absolute complete recommend!

Review by: Stacey 

Wow! Where do I even start??? Summer Games is the 1st book I've read by R.S Grey and it was so good!!! Sexy, hot and so much more!!! The relationship between Erik & Brie was crazy!!! Their love/hate was soooo intense and at times a but much for me to connect with but through it all I coined the put it down and seriously read this in a day ....and yes it was packed full of ups and downs but I really loved Brie! I appreciated her witty and feisty personality and loved how she would tease and taunt Erik! Erik was a bit mean at times but I liked how the reader could see he really liked Brie and his way of showing her was just different than most guys and most stories!  

I loved this book and can't wait to read another RS GREY book!  It was sexy, hot and full of emotions.

4.5 Stars 




I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way, I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things... everyday.
I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors include Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things "funny". Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.

Fool Me Once by Katee Robert • FMR REVIEW




ABOUT Fool Me Once:

They say opposites attract, but this is just ridiculous.

Aubry Kaiser doesn’t like people—actually, that’s not right. She loathes people. With her crippling anxiety, there’s no way she can demo her favorite video game at a convention with five thousand other people. Maybe if she brings someone to act as a shield…

But the only person available is the sexy cowboy she can’t stand.

Quinn Baldwyn is in a mess of his own. He’s been dodging his wealthy family’s matchmaking attempts—and life advice—for years, but with his sister’s wedding on the horizon, he needs of a shield of his own.

He and Aubry can barely hold down a civil conversation, but in bed…fireworks. And the closer they get to Quinn’s sister’s wedding, the more he realizes that he might actually like Aubry.

Now it’s up to him to convince her she might actually like him, too.

PURCHASE HERE: 

Review by: Tatia 

An enemies to lovers story that had me smiling all the way through. Aubrey is a hardass. That's the easiest way to put it. She's fierce, sarcastic, and doesn't like people. It's not just that people tend to annoy her, it's that crowded areas tend to freak her out. With all of the ideas floating around in her head about how it's possible to die, when she gets an invitation of a lifetime, she's reluctant to accept. Insert her arch nemesis - Quinn. He's been a thorn in her side since she first met him. They don't get along. They're always throwing insults at each other. Quinn can't stand her either. He loves pushing her buttons and exchanging barbs with her. When they both reluctantly decide to be a barrier for each other, you know these events can only end in one way - the demise of one of them.

This was a great read. It was easy with all of the banter they tossed around, how they couldn't even seem to say one sentence without rubbing each other the wrong way. Katee Robert is a new to me author and definitely one I will be reading more from. You saw growth in these characters. They took things they were afraid of and, with the help of each other, built on them. They conquered them in a way. It was great to see, not only that, but the chemistry between these two. It was like a firecracker. The heat kept building and intensifying until it finally exploded. I loved it!

4 Stars
