Review ~ Restraint by Adriana Locke

Restraint by Adriana Locke My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was excited to read Restraint and get to know Blaire and Holt, and I found it to be a good read. It was a whirl wind romance that grew over a week long period. Blaire and Holt were both strong willed and work orientated people who didn’t really have time to date, or fall into a relationship. However,...

Review ~ Arrogant Boss by Olivia Hayle

Arrogant Boss by Olivia Hayle My rating: 3 of 5 stars Arrogant Boss was the first book that I have read by Olivia Hayle, and I found it to be an an ok read. Emily and Julian were attracted to one another early and took time to act on their feelings. Emily was reserved about her relationship with Julian, due to working for his business. Julian wanted...

Review ~ The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary

The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary My rating: 3 of 5 stars 3.5 StarsThis was quite the amusing read right from the beginning as I watched the banter between Sebastian and Sara! They really didn't like one another and found themselves in counseling!! But it was soon obvious that the chemistry was brewing and it wasn't long before things were hot and steamy...

Review ~ Empire of Sin by Rina Kent

Empire of Sin by Rina Kent My rating: 3 of 5 stars Anastasia and Knox had a tonne of chemistry and always gravitated to one another. They both had demons in their pasts, but wouldn't open up to one another. Anastasia tried to escape from a dark world, and was eventually pulled back into it. Knox was a strong and confident character, and although he...

Review ~ Breaking the Rules by Lucy Score

Breaking the Rules by Lucy Score My rating: 3 of 5 stars Breaking the Rules is set 5 years into the future. Xavier is the same broody man he was in the first book, however he is determined to get his girl back. I felt that Waverley was a completely different character to the first book, involved in darker issues and getting involved in secret operatives....

Review ~ Crossing the Line by Lucy Score

Crossing the Line by Lucy Score My rating: 4 of 5 stars Crossing the Line was a read that I easily got lost in. I enjoyed meeting Waverley and Xavier and how their chemistry burned right from the beginning. Xavier underestimated Waverley and often thought she was a spoilt actress, but over time he realised the pressures she was under and that her parents...

Review ~ Asher Black by Parker S. Huntington

Asher Black by Parker S. Huntington My rating: 3 of 5 stars Asher Black began strongly and I really was swept away into the world that Parker S. Huntington created. I enjoyed the first few interaction’s between Asher and Lucy. She was scared to begin with when she realised who Asher was, but it didn’t take her long to break him down. I felt she had...

Review ~ No Ordinary Gentleman by Donna Alam

No Ordinary Gentleman by Donna Alam My rating: 2 of 5 stars 2.5 StarsThe start of this read was pretty amusing, experiencing Holly in an awkward situation that Alexander bailed her out of. I enjoyed watching the sparks fly between them, as well as their steamy encounter. When they crossed paths, I could tell that Alexander had deeper feelings than...
