Hudson by Melody Anne (Anderson Billionaires #4)

 

🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨

The marriage flu is contagious! Hudson is a feel-good romance that will make you smile. Everyone loves match-maker, especially when it comes in the form of Uncle Joseph.

Daisy Green is a firecracker, determined to save everything she loves from being destroyed. She's so focused on the past that she can't let change in and see a possible future. Then her path crosses with the one-night stand she never thought she'd see again!

Hudson Anderson (by far my favorite guy so far!) has always known he wanted to build for a living and now he finally has the chance to make his dream a reality. I love that Hudson grew up poor and has his own past to deal with, so he's not the pompous billionaire that everyone expects.

Hudson and Daisy butt heads in the best of ways: making you laugh, frustrated and flushed all at the same time! Two people from separate worlds, introducing the each other to views they've never experienced before. I loved this duo!

There's plenty of Anderson family love to go around in this one and if you're like me, as soon as you finish the book, you'll immediately look up the release date for Crew's story, which is February 11th, 2021!!!

SUMMARY:

Hudson Anderson has watched his brothers fall victim to the marriage flu. He wants nothing to do with it. That is until he meets a fiery Daisy Green who shows up on the property he's just purchased, calling him a thief, and insisting the property isn't his. He should brush her off, and move on with his life. But instead, he finds himself intrigued, and he wants to get to know her.

The veteran's center Hudson worked on with his brothers for the past couple of years is finished. And now he's moving on with the next step of his life -- building his dream complex, a huge golf course community. When his uncle Joseph connects him with Bubby Green, he should know it doesn't come without strings, but the deal is too good to pass.

Daisy Green is a warrior when it comes to causes. She wants to save her town, save her people, and save those things others want to tear down. She's never imagined she might just want to be saved herself. She's furious when her grandfather sells her family land to a spoiled, rich man who wants to build something only the elite can enjoy.

Both Hudson and Daisy think they can change the mind of the other. But maybe, instead of changing one another's minds, they might be able to meet in the middle and start building something beautiful together.

This is the fourth book in the Billionaire Anderson series. Come and enjoy the family dynamic of the Andersons with characters you'll fall in love with, and a romance we all strive to achieve.

The Secret One by Ruth Cardello (Corisi Billionaires #3)

 

💙💙💙💙

This is the 3rd installment in the series, if you haven't read the first two, STOP now and go read them!

Each book in the Corisi Billionaires series has lead to what unfolds in this story. Full of unending secrets, lies and romance -- you can't help but be swept away into the drama as you watch it all unravel.

I loved the chemistry between Christof and McKenna from the start, even though they had a rocky beginning. The story line was a little choppy at times, how it goes between more than just the two main character POV's, but hang in there, it's worth the wait.

 💧 Drama

💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

When Christof meets a beautiful mechanic on the side of the road, he knows they're meant to be. His family, however, needs him and his mediation skills in Italy, where decades of secrets and betrayal could cost them everything. His mother is convinced a fiancée would help smooth things over. But he'd be nuts to ask a woman he just met to participate in such a farce.

Men always find something about McKenna they want to change -- her independence, her success, the grease that clings to her after a satisfying day in the garage. So when she starts falling for a handsome billionaire, she doesn't believe it will last. Their engagement is fake, but the sparks that fly when they're together are too real to resist.

If Christof and McKenna trust themselves and each other, Italy will jump-start a love as intimate as it is intense. If not...their relationship isn't the only one on the line.

Making Whoopie by Erin Nicholas (Hot Cakes #3)

🥮🥮🥮🥮🥮

The perfect marriage of convenience! Making Whoopie will own your heart from the first chapter, and I guarantee you'll never be able to look at cheesy potatoes the same way again.

Grant and Josie's chemistry is undeniable, only growing stronger the longer they're together, whether it's fake or not.

While Grant's main focus in life is to educate women on how to be self-reliant, Josie is a walking contradiction to that, but she fights tooth and nail for what she wants in life.

A sweetly charming, romantic comedy and my favorite in the Hot Cakes series so far. A steamy read with a Cinderella-vibe that will leave you with a sweet tooth. I'm really looking forward to Cam and Whitney's story next!


😄 Comedy
💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

This marriage of convenience is about to get sticky.

Getting hitched for the health insurance is not Jocelyn Asher's idea of romance.

But the hospital quote has really frosted her cookies, and suddenly, "I'm rich. We should get married," sounds a whole lot more swoony.

Especially when the man proposing is this gorgeous. And takes her to parties featuring champagne and petit fours. She's a sucker for anything with bubbles or icing. And just like that she finds herself married to a near stranger.

Grant Lorre is usually allergic to spontaneity.

So why did he ask the beautiful small-town baker he had a one-stand with to marry him? Somehow watching her lick batter off a whisk -- not a euphemism -- made a wedding and a little fraud seem like a sweet idea.

They'll just play house and make some whoopie -- pies, of course -- for a few months and then move on with their separate lives. Until then, bring on the cream filling. And that is a euphemism.

But as things heat up even outside of the kitchen, they quickly realize there's no recipe to follow when it comes to love.

Grant's Heat by Angel Payne & Victoria Blue (Shark's Edge #4)

❤❤❤❤❤

Grant's Heat will take you on a ride you're not prepared for! One of my favorite author pairings is Angel Payne & Victoria Blue: together they make you feel as though you're having a heart attack, only to be revived and put through the ringer again. As emotionally prepared as I think I am for each of their books...there's nothing you can do, just hold on and enjoy the ride!

Grant is still his swoon-worthy, dominant self that we've all fallen in love with in this series. Watching him pine over a woman he can't have, makes me love him even more. Always there if you need him, but not willing to cross any boundaries or disrespect relationships.

Rio is a whirlwind and you never know what to expect from her, so I felt like each chapter kept me on my toes and threw me for a new loop with each page. Her torment and loss hurt my heart, making me feel like a jackass for being a little glad certain events happened.

While this is definitely a romantic drama, it still has that flair of suspense, keeping you guessing what's going to be thrown at you next. I absolutely love this series and devour each book the second it's available. I can't wait for the next one, but I might need to refill my inhaler first, lol!

 💧 Drama
💋 Romance

SUMMARY:

Grant Twombley has it all -- a successful career, a contacts list full of gorgeous and willing bedmates, and the ear of Los Angeles's most prominent captain of industry.

But being Sebastian Shark's right-hand man isn't without its challenges. Messy ones. Unknown forces still work to take down Shark Enterprises, and Grant's full focus is needed to protect their empire. But he's sitting on a scandalous secret. A truth he can't even share with his best friend. Until disaster strikes.

Rio Gibson carries dark secrets of her own. She hides them well...until her world is shattered. She holds Shark responsible, but the only person she shares her suspicions with is also the man closest to him -- the giving, gorgeous man who makes her feel so many new and surprising things. Dangerous things.

But Rio's used to handling the heat in the kitchen, and she can handle this challenge too. Getting out simply isn't an option -- no matter how bad it'll burn in the end.

Weekend Wife by Erin McCarthy

💛💛💛💛💛

Weekend Wife is the role of a lifetime! This was a fun, romantic comedy that I'd love to read again in the near future. My first read by Erin McCarthy and I'm now hooked!

Grant and Leah had amazing chemistry from the start, so I love that their fake relationship grew from a friendship they had already established.

Leah is an actress currently waiting tables, fighting her attraction for the handsome man she can't get a read on, who comes in to the diner every week.

Grant thought he could get over his fascination with Leah if he saw her once a week. When things spin out of control, his family gives him an ultimatum that sets certain events in motion.

Filled with witty banter, steamy scenes, and amazing characters. I read this all in one sitting (had my Kindle read it out loud to me at work), and I laughed so much at the most inappropriate times, lol. Weekend Wife is the perfect weekend read to get you ready for Valentine's Day.

😂 Comedy
💋 Romance

Summary:

Billionaire businessman in need of a fake fiancee...

It should be the easiest job ever for an out-of-work actress, right?

All I have to do is pose as Grant Caldwell (the Third)'s fiancee for a fancy-pants weekend in the Hamptons. Easy. Wear designer clothing and sip champagne? Don't mind if I do. Flirting with Grant? It's so delicious I should be paying him.

Nothing can go wrong as long as I can keep my hands off of him.

But that's the hard part. And I do mean hard.

Because Grant is sexy.
And bossy.
And surprisingly sweet, a real rarity in his pretentious family.

Oops. I'm not as good at faking it as I thought. Or maybe they call this method acting. Because it's getting harder to figure out where my character ends and I begin...

It just might be the role of a lifetime.

You're The One by Layla Hagen (Very Irresistible Bachelors #1)

❤❤❤❤❤

You're The One will have you adding NYC to your bucket list! You won't be able to help falling for Hunter, and especially his family.

Everyone has that one friend that they'd do anything for - and Hunter is that person for Josie. So when he runs into a problem that neither of the lawyers can solve, there's only one clear solution...marriage.

My heart ached for Josie during this story, as she's the typical woman who's always dreamed of her perfect wedding to the dream guy.

Hunter knows he's asking a lot from his best friend and doesn't want to lose her. I love how open and honest they are with each other throughout the story, it gives the characters a genuine feel.

Beautifully written, with a family of supporting characters that will have you in stitches from laughter. I adored this book, as I do everything from Layla Hagen, and can't wait for more in this series!

Summary:

Hot. Flirty. Romantic.

It all started as pretend...

My best friend, and one of the most powerful men in New York, needed my help.

Our first kiss was unexpected -- but it still made my skin sizzle, my knees go week.

The next one was in front of his tight-knit family. We had to be convincing. But it was so wicket hot, it almost convinced me too.

On our first night together, he told me that I had to keep us both in check, because he didn't know how to keep the lines from blurring...

He touched me like I was precious, and held me close...barely stopping his fingers from pushing down the straps of my dress...

On our second night, our banter turned to flirting. Hunter -- my best friend was now Hunter -- the man. Intense. Alluring. Sexy as hell.

How was I supposed to not fall in love?

The Wild One by Ruth Cardello (Corisi Billionaires #2)

💙💙💙💙

The Wild One will have you booking a flight to Paris! This is the second book in the Corisi Billionaires series, and I love how it's a story about the two main characters, but there's still that underlying mystery that's been continuing from the first book...so if you haven't read The Broken One, you'll definitely should before diving into this one.

Wren Heath wants an escape from her boring, stagnant life - so when she meets up with an old friend in Paris, she decides to throw caution to the wind and spend a glorious week with Mauricio Romano.

When the two part ways, under stressful circumstances, they're both forced to realize the extent of what their time together really meant to them.

I adore stories involving self-proclaimed bachelors, who are adamant they'll never change their ways. The best part of the story is by far the Romano family. Their family dynamic are what goals are made of, not to mention how they love to meddle.

This was a wonderful addition to the series, and I'm looking forward to more. Hopefully with more answers about the bigger picture that we keep getting glimpses of in each book!

 💧 Drama

Summary:

After years of choosing safe over satisfying, a weeklong Paris fling sounds perfect Wren Heath. And who better to have it with than Mauricio Romano, a billionaire with a reputation as a first-class heartbreaker. A few days. Fun, then done. What happens on vacation stays on vacation, right?

Paris was Mauricio's playground, and love was never part of the game. Lust? Toujours. Then he meets a sweet woman who wants to be a sex kitten. He knows how to give her the wildest five days and nights of her life. No commitments. No strings. But the hotter it gets, the harder it is to remember his own rules.

What do you do when what happens in Paris stays in your heart and then shows up at home?

Are these two destined to clash or destined for love?

Shark's Edge by Angel Payne & Victoria Blue (Shark's #1)

🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈

Shark's Edge is the beginning of a thrilling ride! The story will hold you captive, between the white-hot chemistry, witty banter, and mystery. I guarantee you won't be able to put it down until the last page, and even then, you'll be counting down until the next book releases. (Lucky for me I already have it!)

Abbigail Gibson wants nothing more than to follow her dreams, but the one person she can't get out of her head, is Sebastian Shark.

Sebastian Shark lives up to his name, and has never come across someone who makes him second guess his decisions, until the tempting redhead name Abbigail enters his office.

The secondary characters are wonderful in this story, from Bas's best friend Grant, to Abbi's partner in crime, who also happens to be her sister-in-law. These two provide sanity and laughter, through their unfiltered advice.

I couldn't get enough of this story - with the underlying mystery that will have you continuously guessing, to the back and forth steamy banter between Bas and Abbi, you'll devour this book and be begging for more.

Angel Payne & Victoria Blue make one hell of a dynamic writing duo, and one of my favorites. The Shark's Edge series is definitely right up there among the best and I can't wait to see where they take us next in this journey filled with romance, angst and a little suspense!

 💧 Drama

🔥 Steamy Romance

Summary:

Sebastian Shark is on the verge of realizing his dream. The Edge -- the most luxurious Los Angeles skyscraper ever conceived -- will be his legacy, an icon to dominate LA's skyline just as Shark dominates its boardrooms.

Self-made businesswoman Abbigail Gibson is on a trajectory toward massive success, but to get there, she must navigate the egos of her demanding clients -- particularly the driven and obstinate Shark, who possesses the special talent of aggravating and arousing her within the same breath.

They are a collision of chemistry, but is their potent attraction toward each other worth losing sight of their ultimate goals? Taking a bite of passion has never carried more risk -- or promised sweeter reward.

Fate has other ideas, however, as Sebastian is targeted by unknown enemies and Abbi is caught in the fray. Will the danger draw them closer or drive them apart?

Declan by Melody Anne (Undercover Billionaire #4)

💥💥💥💥💥

Declan will hold your heart hostage! Such a wild ride, so be prepared to cancel all of your plans until you've finished reading this book!

Angela knows that she's suffered a tragic event that her brain won't allow her to remember. She's shocked as familiar faces from her past appear and have her on the run for her life, with her son in tow.

Declan has admired Angela from afar, so when the head of the organization he's been trying to shut down for years, makes a mistake and leaves a witness behind, he's determined to keep Angela and her son safe. At any cost.

Melody Anne does an amazing job of drawing the reader in and keeps you guessing, while being highly intrigued as to how the story will unfold. A thrilling story and the best way to wrap up the Undercover Billionaire series. Romantic suspense at it's best!

Summary:

Declan Forbes has always been the black sheep in the family, and he likes it that way. The less people liked him, the less drama he had to deal with. But the thing about being a loner was a person might find themselves...lonely.

Working for the FBI, Declan liked his world the way it was, even if something was missing. He'd also take a bullet in the gut before admitting anything was wrong. Something was off, though, because from the moment he meets Angela he's a goner. She's in the midst of the case he's been trying to crack for the past few years now, but he's not exactly sure how she's involved and she isn't talking. One thing Declan has learned in his years in the Marines and the FBI, though, is how to get a person to talk. It could even be...fun.

This is the final book in the four book series, Undercover Billionaires. It can be read as a stand-alone. Each brother has his own book.

Finn by Melody Anne (Anderson Billionaires #1)

💙💙💙💙

Finn is the gentleman your mama warned you about! A story about two people that come from similar backgrounds, suffering from their own losses.

Finn Anderson is sweet, yet broody, knows what he wants and doesn't take no for an answer. He's smitten with Brooke from the moment she knocks him on his backside.

Brooke Garrison is a self-reliant badass, but she's struggling with how to move on with her life after losing her brother.

I enjoyed the times Brooke and Finn spent together, and there's plenty of steamy scenes. It started out promising, especially after Brooke gets the better of Finn, but after about 1/3 of the book I felt as though the storyline started to drag a little. I would've loved to see more about the veterans center and the progress along the way.

I like a little more mystery or fight to my characters, but Finn had decided he was going to marry Brooke the first time he met her, so there was very little drama building, other than Brooke's resistance to him.

Overall it was a cute story, especially with both of them overcoming their past and learning to live life again. Not one of my favorites from the author, but I'm looking forward to seeing future stories in this series!

 💧 Drama

💋 Romance

Summary:
Finn Anderson is a loyal military veteran who has no desire to live a life of luxury and ease, but sometimes a person doesn't get a choice. His life is flipped upside down when he and his four brothers learn they're long-lost relatives of the absurdly famous and wealthy Joseph Anderson. The eccentric but generous billionaire puts the brothers to work building a new veterans center, and that's not all: Joseph won't stop until each new nephew finds love.

Finn has never expected or wanted an easy life, and he struggles with his early retirement from the elite SEAL team. But when a very confident Brooke Garrison literally sweeps him off his feet during a self-defense class he's teaching, he thinks less about his past and more about a brand-new future.

If Finn knows anything for certain, it's that he can't let this woman get away. Though Brooke is tough and compassionate, the loss of her brother has left her vulnerable. She isn't sure she can risk loving and losing another person in her life, including a very determined ex-SEAL. Can the two of them look beyond their past wounds and embrace what they're feeling?

Filthy Rich by Julie Kriss

🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Filthy Rich is a steamy office romance you won't soon forget! This isn't your average boss and secretary tale, it's even better!

Samantha takes her job very seriously and has a backbone to prove it, but when given the opportunity to pursue the one thing she wants most, in a way that's comfortable to her, how can she pass that up?

Then there's Aidan - the man who came from nothing, determined to make something of himself. Not only for him, but for his "brothers" as well. When Samantha is able to crack his facade, all bets are off and a new game has begun.

There was literally NO point in this book that I found myself able to put it down, it was that good! The interactions between the characters are so genuine, and the back story for both of them make you want to reach through the pages and be their friend.

This was my first venture into Julie Kriss books, and I am an avid fan now. Plenty of steam and romance, but a wonderful underlying story as well. Loved it!
