I don't know about anyone else, but I thought Trevor and Naomi were adorable. I'm pissed I don't have the rest of the series and will have to now get the boxed set to read what happens next. Naomi was so cute. I give her props for calling Trevor after the first date. I don't know if I would have been able to get over myself and my hurt feelings to call him, but it worked out for her.

Can't wait to see where they go from there.

EVERY PART OF YOU: TAKES ME (Every Part of You, #5) by Megan Hart)

Every Part of You: Takes Me by Megan Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ARC provided by publisher through NetGalley for an honest review.

Broken hearted after Every Part of You: Denise Me , Simone is living with the heartache of loving someone who doesn't want to be with her. Adrian and Corrina, try to help her by indulging in a different aspect of her fetish. But that only works temporarily.

At the same time, Elliott, realizes he misses Simone more than he ever thought he could. He tries to talk to her, but his efforts are less than stellar and at the same time, his past is coming back to haunt him.

Will they be able to make things work...

This was a lovely ending to the series. I almost tread up a couple of times as I could feel Simone's despair over Elliott and his over his realization that he actually did love someone. The effort for Elliott to break down his own wall and admit he cares can be felt in every word written from him POV.

I loved that about this series where the POV changes really added to the intensity of the characters emotional plight. This series was my introduction to this author and I really enjoyed it.

TRUE BODY ROCK (Body Rock, #4) by Nora Flite

True Body Rock by Nora Flite
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ARC provided by author for an honest review.

First I want to thank Nora Flite for her wonderful story of Lola and Drezden falling in love, along with Lola fulfilling her dreams and Drez discovering new ones.

In this final installment, Lola can't believe things are so good. Her dream of becoming a famous rock star is coming true and she's fallen in love with the green eyed lead singer of her band, who can't seem to get enough of her. But outside forces reek havoc on her insecurities. There are things about Drezden she doesn't know, and others will use those thing to pick at what is so fragile to begin with.

Is her brother Sean jealous of Lola's success or is he really trying to protect her? When its clear that Lola is in real danger, Sean and Drez put aside their grudge in order to protect what is most important to both of them... Lola.

This was a great ending to the Rock-N-Roll love story of Lola and Drez. We learn the truth about his past. Drez learns that Honesty is the thing that will keep Lola with him. Lola learns that she's stronger than she ever thought she was. And with Drez, she has all her dreams come true. She just has to trust her own instincts.

I love how Nora kept Lola pure. She had a tough childhood, which lead to some of her insecurities, with men and relying too much on her brother and his instincts. But when the chips were down, she took things into her own hands, listened to her gut and made her own choices.

I loved how Drez grew from knowing and loving Lola. He was driven and hard, but once this woman that he was so drawn to came into his life, all of that changed. It didn't cause his music to suffer, like he thought a relationship would. It made it grow and flourish. Made him a better person and helped him let go of his past.



And in the end, they made beautiful music together.



Lovely series. I would definitely recommend the series and I will be looking forward to what Nora will write in the future.

ONE WEEK THREE HEARTS (Three Hearts Trilogy, #2) by Adele Allaire

One Week Three Hearts by Adele Allaire
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

I find the story intriguing, but the writing difficult. After their night together resulted in what Rose wanted most of all, a horrific tragedy befalls her. Now months laters, she in Hawaii with Matt at Jason encouragement. But he doesn't seem happy to see her. In actuality he's cold, forceful, degrading and pawning her off on another man to use.

Rose doesn't know what to make of this until Matt explains Jason's roll in it all.

But here is where I as a reader am having an issue. Most of the dialogue is from Matt. But then there are the jumps that the author does, from what Rose is thinking or into action. It's really hard to explain and even harder to read. I don't dislike it, I'm just confused by it as it doesn't seem to happen all the time and when it does happen it's like a jolt forward into something no one had a conversation about, yet its happening.

I don't know how to explain it. I'm also not happy about the fact that Matt seems to think the way to get Rose out of her depression is to treat her with disdain, abuse and apathy. But for some reason I'm still interested. I'm so confused...

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3.5 Stars

I liked the relationship between the three of them, but some of the writing was confusing. As if I was in the writers head and I would get confused as to what she was trying to tell me was going on.

The emotion of the story was there but the structure of the writing was a little off.

THIS MAN CONFESSED (This Man, #4) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

This Man Confessed by Jodi Ellen Malpas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 TRAMPLE STARS

Now that Jesse has made Ava his in all the ways that he can, he is in trampling mode. Ava's brother, her mother, and anyone else that gets in his way. She belongs to him and he's making it known. They have a few more hurtles to overcome, one being psychotic. But soon everything is as it should be.

I was a little disappointed that things went so far before Jesse opened up to tell her everything. I mean he almost cost Ava her life by doing his caveman protection style. Putting himself in danger wasn't any better.

The entire series was really good, although I liked the first book the most because it contained a lot of situations that were extremely funny. Although all the forms of sex they named was pretty funny. There was Sleepy Sex, Sense, Reminder, Alfresco Retribution and even Compromise F**k, among many others.

Jesse and even Ava, for that matter, were more considerate of Sarah than I would have ever been, but I definitely respected their decision to help her even after all the things she did to them to keep them apart. It was nothing compared to other nut-ball.

Great ending, although I wanted more. More with the family. The epilogue brought us back to funny and sexy.

I would definitely read more from Jodi. Looking forward to more from her.

BENEATH THIS MAN (This Man, #2) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

Beneath This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 - ISH STARS

After the Ava found out what Jesse had been hiding and the nasty things he said to her, she been in hell. Her heart is breaking and it isn't until John, Drew and Sam appeal for her help that she goes to Jesse.

Once she sees the state he's in, Ava decides to help him and will leave once he's back on his feet again. But that plan is shortly dashed when Jesse awakens and not only professes his love, but swears he won't ever be that man again is she will only promise to never leave him again. Part obligation and part love, Ava concedes, but only if there are no more lies between them.

Ava gives as much as she's given in this book. Putting Sarah and the other women who want Jesse in their place. Jesse does everything he can to make her is. To the point of brining her family into the mix and making them like her.

"You EVER lay a finger on him again, requested or not, and I won't stop until I've snapped every bone in your fucking body. Do you understand me?"

- Ava

At the same time, her brother is back in town and Ava is also in danger. Mysterious things star to happen. She is used to being on her own and doesn't tell Jesse, which isn't a good thing. Jesse is also keeping things from her, which she chooses to ignore, be that good or bad.

Someone doesn't want them together and wants Ava hurt, maybe even dead. Which kicks Jesse's protective instincts into overdrive. But now Ava has other reasons for staying safe and Jesse will do anything and everything it takes to keep them all safe. Even making her marry him in the one place she despises.

I liked the book, but by the end I was pissed that Jesse was still keeping secrets. And although the protective thing was fun to read, there is no one on this earth I could have ever dealt with someone like him.

I found Ava doing everything in her power to go against what Jesse was demanding of her hilarious. That's what I would have done.

The one think I'm still confused about is Ava's exotic looks. She's supposed to be dark skinned with long dark hair, but she's obviously Irish with that last name. Hmmm ;D

THIS MAN (This Man, #1) by Jodi Ellen Malpas

This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 CENTRAL JESSE CLOUD NINE STARS

Ava O'Shea has just broken up with her boyfriend of 4 years and is rooming with her best friend, Kate Matthews until she can get herself situated and find her own place. But her work schedule is keeping her very busy. Ava is an interior decorator and due to her work on the new Lusso building, Ava and the firm where she works are getting a lot of attention.

That attention brings her to The Manor owned by Jesse Ward. He wants her to decorate the new extension on The Manor, which Ava thinks is an exclusive hotel. From the moment they meet, there is heat and tension. Ava doesn't want to get involved, but Jesse won't let her run away. And she does a lot of that.

Lots of misunderstandings and Jesse's very dominate alpha ways cause Ava to run away from him, but soon she's falling for This Man .

This book was hilarious. First with Ava thinking that Jesse's manor was a hotel to her antics with her best friend, Kate.

I loved how Jesse and Ava had names for their sexual interactions or his way of demanding sex when they were arguing was to tell her...

"We need to make friends."

~ Jesse

I loved how Jesse new that the moment he saw her, she was for him and he wasn't going to let her go.

"Ava, you should know that once I've had you, you're mine"

~ Jesse

Although it was hilarious, I didn't quite understand why Jesse seemed to imprint on Ava so quickly and so intensely. Obviously that information will come later in other books, but while reading this one, it was a total mystery.

I loved how every time she asked for his age, the number changed and that it would frustrate her so much.

This was so fun and funny, I couldn't wait to get to the next book.
