The perfection conclusion to the Baileys series! Rules for Dating Your Ex is the story we've all been waiting for since meeting Sedona Bailey, and my heart couldn't be happier right now.
First and most important: If you haven't read Lessons from a One Night Stand yet, go grab it for free and then binge-read the entire series until you've caught up. Now you may continue to read...
Sedona Bailey had her heart broken during the most emotional and trying time of her life, but she had to do what was best for her and her unborn baby...even if that was to leave the father.
Jamison Ferguson (be still my heart with his accent) hit rock bottom after a career-ending injury, causing him to stay away from the two most important people in his life until he can prove himself worthy again.
I can't possibly express how much I love the entire Bailey clan, including their significant others and offspring. Grandma Dori is still by far my favorite and she's even feistier in this book!
While I'm sad to see the Baileys series come to an end, I've enjoyed the ride immensely, finding new characters to love and obsess over, and I'm thrilled for a new series to begin.
Watching Jamison have to win over Sedona, Palmer and the rest of the clan was the highlight of my week. The family interactions are hilarious and heartfelt as always, leaving you wishing there was a family reunion you could crash and somehow become an honorary Bailey.
Piper Rayne have outdone themselves with this series and I will recommend it until I'm blue in the face. It's definitely one that I'll have on my yearly reading list to binge!

SUMMARY:
If your ex arrives in your hometown eighteen months after you walked out on him while you were eight months pregnant, follow this short list of rules before you give him a second chance.
Rule #1 - Don't stand in the way of your brothers who want to rough him up.
Rule #2 - Don't meet him for coffee and agree to allow him to meet your daughter.
Rule #3 - Don't drool when your daughter falls asleep on his chest for the first time. It's just your ovaries talking.
Rule #4 - Don't let him hold your hand. While we're at it, no hugs, no kisses on the cheek...just no physical contact in general. That only leads to remembering better times.
The last one is the most important...
Rule #5 - When you find yourself needing someone's help and you're tired of always asking your family, don't let him be the one who's there for you.
Because all those good qualities of his will suck you right back in and you'll have no chance of fighting your feelings, especially now that he's ready to be a father to your daughter.

Not According To Plan was a wonderful surprise, in more ways than one! I'm crossing my fingers that we'll get Amy and Brad's story soon as well. Buckle up and enjoy Jade and Max's story.
Jade Easton's career is about to take off when she discovers she's pregnant from a one-night stand. Little does she know that there are many more twists waiting to unravel.
Max Navarro is finally achieving his goal of opening his gym in multiple locations, but can he be pulled in different directions and still have it all?
**I'm going to be honest, I was a bit hesitant to read this when I first heard about some of the plot twists (spoilers are NOT cool people!), but I'm so glad I gave it a chance!
This was written with such hilarious and witty characters, not to mention the relationship between Max and his brothers. Super minimal angst, which I appreciated, allows you to be pulled in to the story and hoping that they can somehow work it all out.
The family/best friends dynamics are great and will have you laughing and a little heart broken, but it's so worth the journey, I promise! Don't miss out on this story, it's definitely one you'll want to read again soon.

Summary:
For one night of my life, I dared to do something reckless. My birthday. A bar. Karaoke. And a man so hot he could melt the sun.
Sparks flew. Lust took over.
For one night of my life, I felt alive.
Then I was back to my "boring" life. Career-driven. Goal-oriented. Always planning ahead.
But nothing could have prepared me for the positive pregnancy test. We weren't that reckless.
There goes my "boring" life. And what happens when I tell the father?

Redemption lives up to it's name, but have tissues nearby. Such a beautifully written story about love after loss and tragedy. A powerful example of how everyone makes mistakes, it's what you make of it, that matters. Ash and Taylor are two very powerful characters that you won't soon forget, especially after they weave themselves into your heart!
Ash was a little hard to stomach at first, but sometimes people have to sink to their lowest before they can rise and make a change for the better. This was definitely true for his character and I enjoyed seeing his growth and acceptance.

Summary:
For years, I was close enough to fame to touch it. Taste it. Drink it.
Until one more drink became my answer to everything.
Until one night I made a mistake which couldn't be undone.
So, I cut all ties to my former life and the addiction that destroyed it. And I left in search of redemption on the other side of the country.
After months building a new future, I thought my past had stayed put.
Until I opened my front door to find she'd followed me.
Taylor Hastings. My sister's best friend.
And the good girl I'd never been good enough for.
Not then. Not now. Not ever.
One glance at Taylor's face told me she'd come searching for a safe haven. One glance at the swell of her stomach told me she hadn't come alone.
I didn't hesitate to offer her my help and my home because looking out for her was the right thing to do...
Even if the way I wanted her would always be wrong.
So, I kept my distance. And Taylor kept her secrets.
Until one kiss changed everything.
Until one kiss made me realize it wasn't our first.

A Lie for a Lie is the perfect second chance romance! I've been getting a little burned out with romances lately, but give me a feisty and stubborn female lead, and I'm all in (no pun intended.)
When Lainey and RJ are reunited, I knew I wouldn't be able to put this book down until I finished. This can definitely be read as a stand alone, but it makes me want to read the entire Pucked series, just so I can appreciate some of the characters storylines more.
This was such a wonderful book from Helena Hunting, who is one of my one-click authors for a reason, and I can't wait for A Favor is a Favor!

Summary:
Sometimes I need an escape from the demands, the puck bunnies, and the notoriety that comes with being an NHL team captain. I just want to be the normal guy for a few weeks. So when I leave Chicago for some peace and quiet, the last thing I expect is for a gorgeous woman to literally fall into my lap on a flight to Alaska. Even better, she has absolutely no idea who I am.
Lainey is the perfect escape from my life. My plan for seclusion becomes a monthlong sex fest punctuated with domestic bliss. But it ends just as abruptly as it began. When I'm called away on a family emergency, I realize too late that I have no way to contact Lainey.
A year later, a chance encounter throws Lainey and me together again. But I still have a lie hanging over my head, and Lainey's keeping secrets of her own. With more than lust at stake, the truth may be our game changer.

A wonderful conclusion to the heart-wrenching duet that begins with Baby Mine, so you MUST read that one first before diving into Baby Mine. It's a brutal start, but so worth the journey.
While pretending to be a happily married couple, expecting a baby, watching Hunter hide his true feelings for Lennon, gutted me to the core. Knowing there were still secrets that could ruin any potential relationship, had me hanging on to every page with bated breath.
As all Kennedy Fox books, they'll take you on a ride that you're not sure you'll survive, but you find yourself begging to go anyway. The emotions that the authors poor into their books make it that much more emotional and real for the reader.
Final warning: This duet will definitely leave you with a book hangover. Be prepared with kleenex, chocolate and plenty of coffee for the morning after. I couldn't go to sleep for over an hour after finishing this duet, and I loved every damn minute of it!

Synopsis:
The worst day of my life happened when Brandon died.
We had our entire future mapped out.
Careers, marriage, kids - in that order.
Then the universe threw a curveball and ended it all.
As I come to terms with everything, I learn I'm carrying his baby. Now I'm living with his roommate, the guy who's made my life a living hell the past two years. Hunter's now the one to hold me up when all I want to do is fall.
Knowing my religious parents will never accept the pregnancy out of wedlock, Hunter offers to be my fake husband. While I think he's gone crazy, it's the only plan that'll keep them in my life. So I do whatever it takes to make our relationship believable - kissing, touching, even letting him hold me when we sleep. The lines are so blurred, neither of us want to admit we're no longer pretending.

Hunter & Lennon's story is heartbreaking! I stayed up until 2am to finish this and nearly threw my Kindle after the final page. I knew I'd be left hanging until "Baby Yours" releases in May, and I thought I was emotionally prepared for whatever Kennedy Fox could throw at me...boy was I wrong!
I've never wanted to have an alibi and take a fictional character out to the woods before, but this book wrecked me. Watching Hunter love Lennon from afar, while trying to make her hate him, ripped a whole in my heart.
Kennedy Fox knows just how to make you open your heart enough to fall for their characters, only to rip it out and hold it hostage until the next book. If anyone drinks their readers tears, it's KF and I gladly supply them for the incredible journeys they take you on.

A one-night stand with unforeseen consequences, forces life-changing decisions to be made by two strangers. They exchanged nicknames, which made it virtually impossible to track each other down.
Football star Nick Shaw has everything going for him, except for the typical family drama, but when his path crosses with Olivia, he feels a connection that makes him start to question what he really wants in life.
This sports romance has something for everyone although it takes a few pages to truly be drawn in to the story, but once you're in, you won't want to stop.
When I was 2/3 of the way through the book, I thought it was about to wrap up, but I'm so glad it didn't, cuz the last few chapters are especially what made me fall even more in love with the characters in this book. I can't wait for Killian and Giselle's story next!!!
