Daisy Prescott brings us back to the mountains with this 4th installment of the Love With Altitude series. A little privilege, a little down to earth; the writing of this story and scenery is seamless and the snark and wit of these characters is spot on. Up to You is a story about 2 people who give up the lives they thought they wanted, move back home and find the lives and love they never thought possible, via an unconventional set-up and love triangle that will have you cracking up and falling in love right along with them. Although the stories in this series are connected, this book can totally be read as a standalone. I enjoyed the hell out of it and I think you will too!

Wow. Everyone will relate to this story. You’ve been Lucy and you probably dated Stephen once or twice in your life. I know I did. I was glued to the pages waiting to see what would happen in Stephen and Lucy’s relationship. I’m not sure how I could hate a character yet root for them to work out. This book is a wild ride of emotions and I loved every second of that ride. Just WOW.

If I hadn’t known this was written by 2 authors, I would be shocked to hear it after I read the book. The writing was practically seamless, going back and forth between Tessa and Eve. I think the biggest hint which chapters were Eve’s, was where all the Aussie lingo was cracking me up in the heroine’s voice. Tessa brings her signature dirty-talking hero, though he brings a whole new meaning to the strong and silent type. His words pack a punch when he does utter them, though. Both Tessa and Eve got some tears from me with scenes they wrote, and I was not expecting that type of reaction with this book. But these 2 characters just suck you in with their drama, and heartache, and learning to love again with each other. Plus, Autumn has a specific kink she’s never been comfortable enacting and Blake is the perfect man to help her try it out. Yes, I did just sigh in my love for these characters. I really hope there’s another collaboration in the future because I’ll be at the front of the line to read it.

So what happens when you combine Dirty talker extraordinaire Tessa Bailey with Funny AF Aussie Eve Dangerfield? You end up with an amazing book that leaves laughing so hard that you snort to reaching for the nearest toy!

This was my first Misadventures book, and it will not be my last, because #Shameless18 author, Helen Hardt, did not disappoint. There’s lust at first site between the main characters – Jett, a rock star, and Heather, a struggling screen-writer – but Jett has a secret that makes him unavailable to her. Their chemistry is too hot to be denied, though, and their story is a lot of fun to watch play out. There are a lot of hot scenes with some of the supporting characters as well, which adds to the sexiness of the story. This is a great book that I highly recommend!

An honest love story about letting go, healing the past and finding happiness in second chances. Not many authors can write high society characters that seem very down to earth and relatable, but K.A. Linde has a knack for it for sure! She also writes some mean angsty twists that have you turning pages and switching teams so fast you get whip lash. This duet puts you through the gamut of emotions, it was sweet and endearing yet so frustrating that you just want to slap some sense into the H/h at times! But isn’t that what the best love stories do…make you feel? Great read from a great author!

I completely loved this book, and cannot wait to tell Lauren Rowe that in person at #Shameless18! The chemistry between the main characters is instant, but they can’t act on it immediately, which allows the story to build delicious anticipation as it moves from the unfulfilled lust to the main event. There’s a cast of supporting characters that are wonderfully developed, funny, and loving. There are scenes in the book that brought me to tears with the sweetness of them, while others made me laugh out loud. Finally, the sex scenes were super hot, and included some phone sex, and some angry sex, too. There’s really something for everyone in this book!

Lisa Renee Jones has this way of taking a supposed one night stand, and making an absolute meal out of it. Her sex scenes are so masterfully drawn out, they are a sweet form of torture. She certainly doesn’t disappoint with Dirty Rich Cinderella Story. This is the second book in her Dirty Rich series (check out my review of Dirty Rich One Night Stand, too) but you do not have to read DRONS to enjoy this book. In addition, it’s a spinoff of her Walker security series, which you also do not need to read to enjoy this series (although there are cameo appearances of the Walker men that are fun when you have read their books.) Lisa’s characters really come alive, and their intelligence and success make them extra desirable. Read this series today, and you will not be disappointed!

If you are looking for a super fun book, your search ends here! In the midst of real estate wars and house flippers in the Hamptons, Rian and Pierce meet and fall in insta-lust with each other. Their story is full of volcano-hot chemistry, adorable moments that made me laugh out loud, beach sex, and the threat of the secrets they are keeping from each other. The fun moments and sexy times are well balanced, and the characters are a lot of fun. Pick this one up today, and you will not be sorry!
