The Sapphire Heist (Jewel #2) by Lauren Blakely @LaurenBlakely3 @InkSlingerPR

The conclusion of this sexy series kept me guessing till the very end. The last book left me with my mouth hanging open and I just couldn't wait to see how this couple would work things out.  I adored Jake and Steph and their sizzling chemistry. They had obstacles that went beyond the mystery of their search for diamonds. Their mistrust due to past betrayal caused them some angst and for a time I was pretty irritated with both of them. They both were stubborn at times yet thankfully their growing feelings helped them work things out a long with sweet and funny grovel by this sexy hero. Lauren balanced the mystery and the angst with the perfect balance of humor and suspense. I rooted for these two to not only find their answers but to also realize their past didn't define their present or most importantly the future they could have together. This was a exciting and sexy series and I can't wait for more from Lauren.   #Safe #KindleUnlimited #AutoReadAuthor  #SafeRead #SizzlingPages

Loving His Forever by LeAnn Ashers @LeannAshers @ejbookpromos

I'm filled with sheer happiness and all things of Romance bliss that could be found after reading this newest installment from the talented Leeann. She blows me away with each page, each chapter and I'm left sighing with bittersweet longing at the end. I wanted Ethan and Braelyn's story immediately after they were introduced in Protecting His Forever. Ethan is the perfect example of a Hero. He never wavered from first sight and he stole my heart on every single page he was on. So sweet yet so alpha in all the right ways. Then Liam.. Oh that mini alpha I'll be anxiously waiting for his forever to come. Then low and behold LeAnn gives us more manly goodness of Torch.. Omg swoon. Like we already have Chase and Isaac we are stalking stories. LeAnn lady I could go on and on but seriously I'm so on love with these stories. The characters are so alive and passionate. I'm gripping my kindle during the action and I'm laughing out loud at the comedy and humor. Then throw in every single aspect of the romance and love along with the camaraderie and friendships. Well it's just that good.   Anytime I find an author who concentrates on building relationships by having loyal characters and no inner relationship angst I am hooked. Safe books are my Crack and this lady is my newest supplier. No drama with other women at all and that's just the way I love it.  I see massive good things ahead with the MC story line and have faith she'll prove that you can write MC romance without having drama like sweetbutts and club shanks. I trust her heroes will be just like Kane and Ethan.. Loyal and true from the start.

I Like Big Dragons and I Cannot Lie (The Dragon #1) by Lani Lynn Vale @LaniLynnVale

This was a good start to Lani's debut Paranormal series. The characters were immediately captivating. I enjoyed the family ties and the explosive action. When a story keeps me on the edge of my seat with suspense and thrilling adventure, I'm definitely satisfied. I didn't find this very romantic until late in the book. Because Lani did a great job building up this magical yet modern world I still enjoyed it just for those reasons alone. My favorite parts where the small dragons. I also loved how the characters could share power. Blythe and Keifer grew on me as the story progressed. I felt by the end their feelings had started to really be portrayed in a emotional way. I really enjoy when a couple spend time together and you actually feel "why" they fall in love. I'm hoping the next installment has more of a couple centered love story. I still enjoyed the start of what looks to be a sexy, magical and adventurous series.  #SafeRead #PNR #Action #Dragons 4 Solid stars

Branding the Virgin by Alexa Riley @_alexariley @ardentprose

I love going into an Alexa Riley book that I'll have just what I want. This one really kept a smile on my face. It started when Ty took the keys and I knew I'd have an alpha who wasn't asking and would steal my heart.    Mary Jane was just the right type of meek and sweet that Ty needed to balance his bossiness. This sexy sweet read was a perfect read for a rainy night.    I didn't want it to end but that's usual for this author. I can already see some amazing things for these characters. As always I'm left happy yet my inner addict is screaming more more more. #SafeRead #PerfectHero #oneclicknow #AlexaRiley #AutoRead #newrelease

I Speak...Love (A Different Road, #3) by Annalisa Nicole @AnnalisaNicole4

Wow, I'm simply filled to the brim with so many emotions. Annalisa is by far my top favorite author of sweet heartwarming romance with a steamy kick. She takes flawed characters and breaks them down to the barest essentials to where the only place they can go is up. Stephen was always that cold mystery..who was in the background and on the sidelines. You see him but he's always leaving or trying to hide. The secrets he lived with weren't just explosive,they were destructive and painful.  I feel his heart was absolutely damaged truly from carrying around this burden for so long. Maddy was chipped, scarred, cracked and discarded. She didn't know how to absorb the purest love coming from the Masons and Stephen was drawn to her pain like he saw in himself. He knew he wasn't good for her but love like this would not be denied. Once the secrets are brought to light the only thing left was redemption and forgiveness and my girl Annalisa shows pure humanity in her romance and in her cast of characters and the simply profound family dynamics .  I cried sad tears then I sobbed from happy tears. There isn't anything like having a story bring you from pain to beauty and leave you feeling like you loved and you learned right a long with these touching characters.  I will hug this lady like so hard the day I meet her sweet self. Annalisa my dear friend, Never change..Romance is this.. struggles, heartache, healing and faith. You keep your stories Honest and True and keep your characters Flawed yet LOYAL and that lady is what a Love Story is all about.     #Safe #AutoRead #PerfectHero #KindleUnlimited #SafeRead

Hard Rules (Dirty Money #1) by Lisa Renee Jones @LisaReneeJones

Hard Rules started this series off with a scorching and passionate beginning. I completely found myself seduced by the characters and completely captivated by the background mystery going on. Lisa created a cast of characters that were unique and filled with vibrant life. I always find myself swept away by my heroes and Shane definitely gave me everything I want in a leading male. He oozed sensual power and he had an aura of authority.    I felt he had that vulnerable layer when dealing with Emily that showed he had a heart within that stone cold facade he portrayed for everyone else.    Emily was shrouded in suspenseful mystery. Her story is barely addressed yet I felt her character was honest..just afraid. So many secrets and so many enemies that no matter where you look someone is there testing their trust.      I was holding onto my kindle with a death grip at the end. I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment because Lisa you have really jerked the rug out from underneath me with that ending. Some cliffhangers are painful and some are so explosive they just leave you breathless. This one was both and it hurt so good     #SafeRead #AlphaAlert #OneClickNow #Series
