Slow & Steady by Kendall Ryan

You know the books you read that are just easy. Easy to read, to get lost in, to lose time and forget that you have shit to do? That is what this book was for me. I enjoy Kendall Ryan's writing and stories so it was a no-brainer to grab this and dive in. It delivered the entertainment I search for while getting lost in the pages of my kindle.

Greyson works...and sleeps...then he works some more. When he needs a little R&R he heads to the strip club. Never in his wildest dreams did he expect to see the wife of his fallen friend to be the body he was drooling over..guilt and the promise to protect takes over and he knows he has his work cut out for him to earn his way into their lives.

Finley never imagined that she would be shaking her ass to put food on the table, a roof over her babies head and making ends meet. She had a husband, a home, and was expecting when her whole world was changed. That moment in her eyes was caused by the man that is now starting at her...while she is buck ass naked.

Not being one to take hand-outs Finley fights every kind gesture that Grey makes to help her and her daughter. But guilt fuels Greyson and not much can deter him from being the one to help this family change their lives for the better.

Really enjoyed watching this hard-working military man fall hard for a woman and her adorable daughter...and becoming the family they never thought they would have again.

Sparrow by L.J. Shen

I'll be honest...when I first met Troy I was not his biggest fan, the reason was his gift giving...whore of a mistress. But like all good stories I know there is more to it than what I am getting...so I read on. THANK FUCK. I fell hard for the southie that was torn by his past, his future and promises that he made to a man he loved and admired. What he didn't expect was to fall hard for the girl that was given to him so many years ago..to protect...to save...to marry.

Sparrow was easily liked from the beginning. Not a weak, damsel in distress...she rolls with the punches and doesn't cower when life dishes out more than she should have to deal with. She speaks her mind and fights for herself. Totally loved Sparrow...marrying the boy from the block that was always way above her social ranking wasn't what she signed up for, but she was determined to get what she could out of the deal. 

The spark between these two was pretty hot from the start. The line between love and hate is tight and these two straddled it like a stripper on a pole. Once Troy figured out his side piece wasn't worth the hassle things began to fall into place and the story delved deeper and wove it's way into my soul..it was addicting, tense, heart-felt and had the asshole turn to the hero in a matter of chapters. 

Thank you Tara..once again you win!

Listen To Me by Kristen Proby

Kristen Proby writes books that as a reader I can connect with, they are comfortable, engaging and the characters have heart. Jake and Addie were so right for each other, but watching as a friendship and trust bloomed between them was more fun than the instant bang-fest.

Addison is a bad boy magnet...having been burned so many times she meets Jake just as she has banned rocker bad boys from her life/bed. Timing not so good for Jake but he is persistent and knows that if he puts in some time she will be worth it.

Jake has guilt...being the world's biggest star burned him and those closest to him so he has demons..don't all the good ones? Being able to trust not only himself but those around him is a journey that leads him to his future.

I am excited for more in this series. This group of women are funny, strong, independent and have an unwavering friendship that will endure whatever crap the suitors to come can dish out.
