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.

After the earth shattering moment at the end of Hitched V2, I was keen to see how Noah would dig his way out of his latest predicament. I knew he had thought it through, but it was hard to convince Olivia. But in true Noah style he worked hard to win Olivia back.

Noah and Olivia took their time getting back to one another. Olivia really thought through her feelings, and at times I wished she'd get through it quicker, she seemed to over analyse every little thing! Noah knew what he wanted and showed Olivia how far he was willing to go. He won my heart in the first instalment, so I forgave him quickly!

I enjoyed watching Noah and Olivia at work – their relationship outside of the office may be a bit shaky, but they mesh well together and I know they'll be a fantastic team.

Overall, the Hitched series has been a delight to read! I enjoyed the flirty banter in the first book and watching the characters become stronger as they faced each hurdle together. They worked through some hard times, battled with their feelings for one another, and were better people by the end of the journey. I think that Kendall Ryan delivered Noah and Olivia's story perfectly and wrapped it up so I finished the book with a sigh. I'll be one the look out for more of her work in the future!

I loved that Noah put his feelings out there like this!! 

“Please, Snowflake. Don’t shut me out. I’ll do anything. Just tell me. Say the word and I’ll be on my knees—begging forgiveness, at your service, ready and willing to make it up to you.”

Mr. Romantic by J.A. Huss ~ Review, Giveaway & Swoon Thursday (@jahuss, @XpressoReads)

If you want to try a J.A. Huss series, I suggest you get into this one people! She has turned up the suspense in the second novel in the Mister series and I cannot wait for more!

Charm is the key to the world.

Charisma, magnetism, sex appeal—that ‘it’ factor that can’t be described.

Nolan Delany has it is spades.

The infamous Mr. Romantic.

And maybe he is out of my league… But I’m going to give it the old college try anyway. Because I didn’t travel two thousand miles for a job interview at his request just to be put out like trash.

Don’t underestimate me, Mr. Delaney.

I’m really not as innocent as I look.

What a fantastic read this turned out to be! I was not expecting such a change in style considering the first book was more of a romantic comedy, but J.A. Huss has kicked it up a notch with Mr. Romantic, adding some intensity, suspense and a few dark elements that I have come to love about her work! I am super excited to see where this story goes now and how all the Mister’s are really connected!

Ivy was sent an invitation to attend a job interview, and was swept away in a private jet across the country, to meet with Nolan Delaney – Mr. Romantic. She didn’t understand why she was picked and felt out of her comfort zone, but was determined to either lose her virginity or get the job (and I love a girl with a goal!). Each time she met with Nolan, the more she wanted to know him and to unravel his secrets and desires.

Nolan wasn’t sure why Ivy was sent for the job, and intended to send her home as soon as possible, but she unlocked something inside of him that had been dormant for some time. He wanted her badly and did everything he could to have her, even for one night. They each held secrets and Nolan told her about his darkest fantasies and let her in on details from his past that no one else knew about.

I enjoyed seeing the trust and passion grow between Nolan and Ivy. Ivy wasn’t very sexually experienced, but allowed Nolan to teach her and show her things that she wouldn’t usually do. Nolan’s fantasies are a little dark and twisted, but I felt that it was what this couple needed and may mean more in the overall story arc.

I enjoyed the new direction that this story took, with the Mister’s pasts coming back to haunt them, but also bringing the Mister’s together again. I loved the name drop that happened as well, and I may have got a little excited seeing that a character I want to know more about had something to do with the Mister’s pasts! I hope he makes an appearance again in future books! Mr. Romantic was everything I expected from a J.A. Huss read – a dark twisted romantic storyline, with a touch of suspense that I need more of! Bring on the next book!

Since they are no longer with us, and with permission from Trisha Wolfe, I have decided that those of us that love to swoon need a central meet up point.  So here it is ladies! I have a link up for everyone at the bottom of the post you can add your swoons to, and I’ll set it up every week! So tell all other swooners out there to come on over, link up so we can visit each other! ***


Nolan is sure one to talk dirty to a woman... check these out!

“Oh, don’t worry, Ivy. I don’t get girls in bed by wining and dining them. It’s the talking that lowers all those keen defenses and inner voices telling them to run away as fast as they can.”

Towards the Sound of Chaos by Carmen Jenner ~ Excerpt & Teasers (@CarmenJAuthor, @RSofRomance)

Toward the Sound of Chaos released this week, and it sounds like it will be a beautiful and emotional read. The three excerpts I read were amazing so I think I NEED to get my hands on this one!
Toward the Sound of Chaos
Title: Toward the Sound of Chaos
Author: Carmen Jenner
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Published: May 18th 2016
Buy Now - Amazon USAmazon UK 

Jake Tucker is broken. At twenty-two, he went into the Marine Corps a naïve, troubled youth. Nine years and four tours later, Jake finds himself back on US soil, though his mind remains firmly planted in the sands of Afghanistan with the men he left behind.

Wounded, chewed up and spat out by war, Jake has only his dog, Nuke, PTSD, and survivor’s guilt to keep him company. He’s lived every day for nine years wondering when it will be his last, but there’s little comfort in the fact that he’s still standing when his platoon isn’t.

Ellie Mason doesn’t have time for broken. She’s too busy trying to put food on the table. And keeping up with the demands of her autistic son, Spencer, is sometimes like fighting behind enemy lines. As if navigating the minefields of single parenthood isn’t enough, Ellie finds herself drawn to the quiet Marine who’s just as lonely as she is. But she’s loved damaged men before, and it left her wounded.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Fairhope, Alabama, Ellie and Jake find themselves running toward the sound of chaos.

Love is war.

Only the strong survive, and surrender is inevitable.


“Why haven’t you found a woman to love yet, Jake?”
I stiffen. Her question catches me off guard. I don’t know how to reply to that. I have found someone, but she deserves better than to spend her life with a freak.
“I like being alone.” That was a lie. “Who in their right mind would have me?” is what I want to say, but I don’t. I don’t tell her how much I loathe myself, or that I wish I was dead, or that at night I lie awake wondering if this was part of Aasif Bashir’s plan in disfiguring me—that he’d hoped that one day I’d roam the earth a free man and yet never know the freedom of a woman’s touch again.
I don’t tell her that I hate being alone because I can never shut off the voices or quiet the sounds of war that ring in my ear long after the dust has settled and the blood has dried. I attempt to fill the void with distractions: Nuke, Ellie, Spencer, pouring myself into something physical until my limbs shake from misuse, but it doesn’t mask the stillness. That’s always waiting for the moment I shut everything off. And it never becomes any less haunting.
“I hate it,” she says, as if she’s echoing my thoughts. “Being alone. When you climb into bed and everything’s so still you could hear a pin drop? There’s something in that silence that screams all my greatest fears.”
“What are they?” I say, too quickly.
“My fears?” she asks with a sigh. “That I’ll be alone forever. That Spence will grow up and leave like all kids do, or that he’ll enlist and my life will be filled with endless days and nights of that sound. Of nothing.”
I feel like she just cracked open my skull and pulled the words from my head, but two hearts as lonely as ours? Well, that’s a dangerous thing. Deep down I know as much as she does that I’m no good for her, and yet I’m still too selfish to push her away.
“You shouldn’t be alone,” I whisper.
“Neither should you.” She leans back into my embrace, and I kiss the top of her hair because I never dreamed I’d be lucky enough to do that again to any woman, let alone to this angel who came crashing into my life and made all the pain that came before her seem worth it.
I survived war, I survived torture at the hands of the Taliban, but I won’t survive Ellie Mason, not with my heart still intact.

RoomHate by Penelope Ward ~ Release Week Blitz & Teasers (@PenelopeAuthor)

I love Penelope Ward's writing, and RoomHate is definitely my kind of read! I want to meet Justin sooooo bad! 
RoomHate
Title: RoomHate
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Contemporary Romance

From New York Times Bestselling Author, Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

Sharing a summer house with a hot-as-hell roommate should be a dream come true, right?

Not when it’s Justin…the only person I’d ever loved…who now hates me.

When my grandmother died and left me half of the house on Aquidneck Island, there was a catch: the other half would go to the boy she helped raise.

The same boy who turned into the teenager whose heart I broke years ago.

The same teenager who’s now a man with a hard body and a hardass personality to match.

I hadn’t seen him in years, and now we’re living together because neither one of us is willing to give up the house.

The worst part? He didn’t come alone.

I’d soon realize there’s a thin line between love and hate. I could see through that smug smile. Beneath it all…the boy is still there. So is our connection.

The problem is…now that I can’t have Justin, I’ve never wanted him more.

Author's note – RoomHate is a full-length standalone novel. Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

The last time Piper Ross saw her best friend’s sexy older brother, Jase Simmons, he was being taken away in handcuffs. Seven years later, two things haven’t changed: Piper is still head-over-heels in love with him . . . and Forrestville’s chief of police—Piper’s dad—still hates his guts. So when Piper sees a chance to get close to Jase, she makes her move—literally. As his new roommate, and as the office manager of his tattoo shop, Piper won’t be satisfied until Jase knows that she wants to be his.

The quintessential good girl, Piper is pure temptation for Jase. The only reason he’s always kept his distance is because she’s the last person he’d ever want to hurt. But once he realizes that Piper is ready to take the leap, everything just makes sense. Suddenly Jase feels like a new man—until nasty rumors start swirling and Piper’s heartless father stirs up even more trouble. Now Jase must convince Piper that she wasn’t wrong about him . . . because falling in love never felt so right.
