Stirring up Trouble by Kimberly Kincaid - @KimberlyKincaid

Kimberly Kincaid has become a favorite of mine for when I’m in need of a sweet and sexy romance where I find myself smiling throughout.  Sloane was introduced in the previous installment and I immediately wanted her love story. She just seemed like a vibrant and witty lady who took life by the steering wheel and put her foot to the petal and said “watch out world here I come”. But in all of that energy there was also a romantic who could sweep her readers away in her romance novels but hadn’t had her feet lifted off the ground yet by any man.She was yearning for that "O" in Love and wanted it to be as big as the ones in her novels. Although Sloane didn't think that settling down was in the cards for her she still couldn't fight the attraction of one serious sexy as sin Gavin.   Gavin was submerged in all the details of the painful and devastating death of his mother. What was left behind wasn’t only settling of her estate or normal things but a broken 13 yr old sister Bree. Gavin was doing the best a person could do thrown into this situation. The chips were stacked against this brave man because he’s dealing with not only being a sudden parent but working full time at a busy restaurant and also his sister is in the “hormonal teenage years” along with the grieving of the only parent she had.  Gavin and Sloane were adorable together. It’s like they could see inside each other the real person that wanted out. Sloane was used to being labeled the fly by the seat of her pants girl and Gavin was Mr. Serious. Together she saw herself as responsible and caring in Gavins eyes and Gavin learned how to loosen up and have a little fun. There were some pretty sexy  times between the sheets and against many other surfaces. "wink"   I'm not sure I've ever read about drinking wine in a sexier way and I'm still thinking about it.  There was some misunderstandings that caused a blip in this sweet love story but Sloane and Gavin belonged together with Bree by their side. I rooted for them the whole way and loved how it all came together.  Kimberly Kincaid made me cry some sappy and happy tears several times and I am so glad I got lost in this book.

Locke (Corps Security #5) by Harper Sloan - @HarperSloan

If you are familiar with the Corps Security series then like every other reader out there we’ve been anxiously awaiting Maddox Locke’s story.  Brooding, temperamental, moody  Maddox Locke set hearts beating like crazy from the moment he was introduced in this series.  From his painful past that we all wanted to know about to his big heart that he couldn’t hide. This guy is one character that burrowed under my skin and I just wanted to see him find happiness so badly. Emmy was a surprise. What we thought as this little meek and mild sweet girl was a feisty woman who had battled demons nobody should have to encounter in such a young life. The tragedy that drove Emmy away pushed her right back into her nightmare. Maddox wasn’t going to stand by any longer and he was set out to get Emmy and bring her home. What transpires is a story of passion, healing and trust. Maddox had to accept that Emmy was the one person that loved him scars and all.   These two souls belonged together and although there were so many obstacles that wanted to keep them apart true love would not be denied.  The entire cast was involved and there were the normal humor and excitement. The one thing about this series that captured my heart and thousands of hearts around the world was the unique and loving family of misfits . Each Hero this author created and their loved ones have etched themselves into our hearts and our minds and will make this one series that will always be special and a favorite of so many readers. The next generation of the Corps Security kids are coming and I just can’t wait.

Vipers Den: Part One Piper & Kade by Eliza Brown - @IamElizaBrown

Viper’s Den was a surprising energetic and at time humorous as hell joy ride. I was at first a little bit confused with the heroine's personality. She is very brash and at times blunt as heck. After relaxing and just telling myself to see where this was going I found I actually enjoyed her “out there” persona like a cold glass of lemonade on a hot summer day. It was refreshing although a little tart. Sassy one liners and inner monologue to make you cry from laughing.   Add just enough sugar and you got one tasty treat in the feisty Piper Jones. Heck even her name is sassy. So the funny parts in this book had me rolling and for some reason every time I heard Piper get a little irate in my head ..I saw Madea. Yea crazy moments that had me going WTF? But loving every minute of it. Do not cross Piper!! We had crazy ex stalkers and silly friends and well meaning family members. So much drama in one little book you’d think it would bury the romance under all the craziness but it worked.  It was sexy as hell when Kade and Piper connected. I am talking hot hot hot. Kade was the perfect boyfriend and he had like every quality that would make it hard for any women to be immune to his charm. But add in the fact that this sexy guy cooked!! Oh holy heck!! Then the sweetest love scene that some how not only sizzled it vibrated ..with passion and emotion. I was very pleased with this sexy short but perfect in all the right places novella and am eager to see where this author takes us with this crazy energetic cast of characters.

A Lil' Less Lost (The Kingsmen M.C. #2) by Tara Oakes - @Lil_Oakes

A ‘Lil less lost is the explosive continuation of Jay and Lil’s passionate love story. If you read the first book in the series ,  A Lil’ Less Broken then you know that it ended on a MASSIVE cliffhanger.   This installment started off with a bang and kept me flipping pages hoping and praying for this sweet couple to catch a break. Jay is determined to get the love of his life back and save her and their unborn child.  Lines were crossed and deals were made. Whatever it took and Jay was going to get Lil back. What I loved about this series so far is that it has so many unique and different characters that add to the feeling of family in this dangerous yet vibrant and full of love MC world.  There were some twists and turns and even some added POV’s that made me sit up and take notice quite a few times. When Jay and Lil are reunited things are so emotional and I just fell harder for Jay. He’s one tough alpha who doesn’t hide his love for his woman. Jay pulled out some romantic times and I was smiling and pleased with the sexy romance.I eagerly await the next book in this series and am so curious to know where Ms. Oakes will take us next.

Unforeseen Obsessions by Valerie J. Clarizio - @VClarizio

This was truly a very mysterious and action filled romantic suspense. But it had quite a few swoon worthy sweet elements in a a very touching love story. I have a very, very delicate balance with my love/hate relationship when it comes to romances where the heroine or hero has lost their first love. It has to be handled in a way that I don’t feel like the new person has just come in at second best. Alex’s story broke my heart and I wanted her to have someone to help her heal so badly. Peter was that perfect sweet and protective hero for her. He was a true gentleman and he adored her and even the fact that her lost husband was his best friend just really in the grand scheme of things made him love her more.  What better way to honor a person they both loved so much but to heal each other and find happiness in the ashes of pain.  This love story was handled perfectly and I adored the characters. There was some high sexual tension and sexy times,   with  some pretty emotional times too.   As much as his body ached for her, his heart ached for her more.  The mystery kept me guessing and I had a few Moments.  The conclusion completely and totally made my heart swoon and rejoice and I was so pleased.  I recommend this read to any romantic suspense junkie out there.
