They call him the Anaconda, and I’m pretty sure it isn’t because he likes snakes.

Nick Jenson is my neighbor. My hot, oh-so-sexy, very-well-equipped neighbor that I’d spend hours watching from the safety of my bedroom window.

I saw lots of things I probably shouldn’t have. Sometimes I’d touch myself, imagining it were his hands roaming over my body instead of my own. I had just one mission—to find out if the rumors were true.

Then one day, he caught me watching him.

I was mortified. I was prepared to quit college, move to another country, and live the rest of my life saying, “Nick who?” But, apparently, life had other ideas.

Because Nick? Well, he isn’t just my neighbor … He’s also my father’s best friend. If I thought things were difficult before, they were about to get a whole lot more complicated.

Oh, and those rumors? Holy fuck, are they true …

Excerpt
I throw the rest of my coffee down the sink, suddenly unable to stomach it. I wait for dad to leave for work before I bolt next door in search of Nick. I find him just as he’s closing his front door. I glance at the car, where the kids are already strapped in.

“Hey,” he says with a smile. He frowns when he sees my expression.

“Do you need to tell me something, Nick?” I growl, with my hands resting on my hips.

The color drains from his face. “Fuck. He told you, didn’t he? I’m so sorry, Anna. I couldn’t help it. He invited himself along. What was I supposed to say to the guy?” he says weakly.

“Jesus, Nick. How about no?” I retort, still in disbelief.

“I’m sorry,” he protests again. “I really had no choice. Short of saying hey, I’m fucking your daughter, there was nothing that would’ve gotten me out of this.”

“Fine,” I growl, knowing I can’t be angry at him for this. “So, what’s the plan?” I say, rubbing my temples.

“I hired a houseboat. For a week,” he muttered.

“A freaking houseboat?” I laugh, shaking my head.

“Jesus keep your voice down,” he hisses, glancing at his car.

“You’re telling me that for the next week, I’m stuck on a houseboat with my boyfriend, my father—who also happens to be my boyfriend’s best friend, and my boyfriend’s two kids?” Nick winces. “And you want me to keep my voice down?”

“Uh, is now a bad time to mention your dad just called me? He wanted to check that it was okay to bring Mandy.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I mutter, shaking my head. “He must’ve called you the second he left the house.”

This just keeps getting better and better. I liked Mandy, but it annoyed me that he made this big deal about us spending time together only to turn around and invite his girlfriend.

What the hell am I going to do?

Kayla is in such bad hysterics that she’s practically falling off the kitchen counter when I tell her about the mess that is my life.

“Are you fucking kidding me?” she huffs, barely able to spit the words out. “You’ve got to get me a ticket on that boat.”

“It’s not a fucking show, Kayla,” I growl. “There are no tickets.”

“Bullshit. This is going to be the show of the year,” Kayla giggles.

“Come on, please be serious, Kales,” I frown.

“I am being serious. You need me there,” Kayla says. The laughter is gone and there is nothing but honesty in her voice. The thing I love about Kayla is as crude and blunt as she can be, when you need her, she’s there. “I can help out with the kids and buy you more time alone with Nick. You think you’re gonna get any time with him without me there to cause a distraction?”

I think about it. Maybe having her there wasn’t the worst idea in the world. If something went wrong and I needed an out, I know Kayla would figure something out for me.

Review of “Hitch: Pierce Securities”, by Anne Conley

This was a great story! I love Dex and Amber. I give this book a 5 star rating.

The chance to start over in a new town and make a new life for herself is what Amber wanted, she didn’t have any planes to get involved with anyone or have a relationship now. She is good at her job as a police officer, she doesn’t want to have to prove her abilities, and sitting at a desk was not the ideal way to prove she was up to the job.

Dex is still trying to find his way as a civilian in Private Security after retiring from the Police force, after twenty years of service. His brothers in blue treat him like he is a traitor and won’t share any information with him when he is working on a case for Pierce Securities.

They were both working their jobs separately until they kept running into each other while working their cases. Can they work together to take down the man that they are both looking for?

If you like a book with crime, drama, romance, and hot alpha males, this is a great book to read. I look forward to reading more of this series, and hope the wait is short.

 

Review of “The Wolf’s Bounty: Hinterland Series Book 1”, by K. T. Harding

This book was interesting. I found it to keep me wondering what was going to happen next. It moved at a great pace and pulled me in. It was not what I was expecting when I started to read it. I really enjoyed it and found the characters to be very likable.

Bishop and Raleigh are great together work well together as well as play off each other very well. Dax has me wondering about him. I look forward to reading more of this series to find out what will happen next.

I am interested to find out more about Hinterland and what the connection might be to Raleigh’s home. I give this book a 4.5 star review. I hope to read more soon.

ARC Review of “Another Round of Whiskey”, by S. Moose @InkSlingerPR @S_Moose060912 @author_Kelly

I loved this story. Landon and Ashley have been in love for most of their lives, but Ashley wants to follow her dreams and Landon wants to let her do that. Her dream puts her in the spot light and many miles away from Landon. It’s only supposed to be for one year, however, when he sees something in print that he believes, it ruins everything. She stays away for seven years and finally returns home to follow her real dream, to become Landon’s wife.

Landon’s hurt so bad from her betrayal, can he ever forgive her and give her the second chance she is asking for? Landon’s heart has never stopped loving Ashley, but he doesn’t know if he can forget the past seven years.

Ashley won’t give up on Landon, she knows the truth of what he saw in print, if he had only gone to see her and ask her, she could have saved them both the pain they have been enduring for the past seven years. Ashley has never wandered from her love and commitment to Landon, now she just has to get him to see that and believe her.

The characters in this story, one of the Kelly Elliott’s Wanted Kindle World stories is very well written and shows that love can withstand a lot, but it takes real commitment and forgiveness for two people to find their way back to each other after so many years apart. I think I need to read the other stories in the Wanted Kindle World to see which of the others in Another Round of Whiskey are in them. I enjoyed all of the characters in this book.

A baby girl.

My newborn daughter.

Her mother is gone, and she has no one in this world but me. This delicate little girl couldn’t have been born to a more unsuitable father… until Leighton Mitchell opens my eyes and makes me see things differently.

Leighton is not my typical kind of woman. She does not get drunk on whiskey or chase country music stars for a chance at a one-night stand on a tour bus.

And mine.

 

BLURRED LINES by Nazarea Andrews

When Ethan is called home for an unexpected wedding, all he can think about is the well-meaning women in his life trying to set him up with someone that will entice him to move back to Texas. Settle down and get married and live a nice quiet life.

Which is why he ends up asking Spencer, his best friend and roommate, to go as his date. Never mind that they aren’t dating, that Spencer is definitely not interested in dating—his sisters have heard enough about him over the years that they might buy it.

A week at home, pretending to date a guy he’s been in love with for three years? What could possibly go wrong?

 

 
MERCY by Andrea Johnson

At eighteen years old, Mercy Warner packed up her little hatchback and set out for bigger and better things. Determined to put small town life behind her, Mercy had dreams – big cities and bright lights were her destiny.

Four years later, Mercy finds herself drawn to the small town of Mason, Texas. With strangers who embrace her like family and a local cowboy with dimples offering her happiness, it’s hard to resist what the town has to offer.

Will her dreams of living life under the bright lights of a big city overshadow the small-town life under the stars she’s drawn to?

Only Mercy has the answer.

 

 
FOUND by Kristin Mayer

I thought I knew him.

I didn’t.

One night he was in my bed; the next, gone like a ghost. But the memories of us together were branded on my soul.

Now he stands before me, a stranger with a different name.

The worst part is I still want him.

One thing is for certain: He isn’t stopping until he gets what he wants—me.

 

 
City Girl’s Cowboy by Kahlen Aymes

He might desire her, but he’ll be damned if he’ll ever let her hurt him again.

Thea Andreas left behind her cowboy boots, the dusty trails of Texas, and first love, River King for the bright lights and big city dreams of the Big Apple and a big-time modeling career.

When Thea inherits part of her great Uncle Leonard’s sprawling ranch, she goes back to settle the estate, but gets more than she bargained for when the majority owner refuses to buy her out, and no one else will either. See, the locals know the story, and their loyalty is clear.

River is cockier and sexier than ever and it’s not easy to resist when he makes it clear he’d be more than happy to oblige her with a roll in the hay, for old time’s sake. He’s the catch of the county and every single woman within a hundred miles wants him, rousing old feelings of jealousy and pain. What’s worse, River seems to revel in making her suffer.

The beauty of the ranch where she grew up and hauntingly intense memories of their first love might convince her to stay, but even if she wanted to give up her career and move back to Texas, it won’t matter if River can’t forgive her for chasing her dream.

He’s not impressed with her glitz and glory.

Sawyer Jackson is small town—and that’s exactly how he likes it. As the high school football coach, he has one thing on his mind: winning. But when Addie Mae waltzes back in town, he refuses to get lost in her money and beauty.

Together, there’s more than meets the eye.

Teaming up to plan the event, Sawyer and Addie discover more than diapers and bottles. Addie might just be using her career to hide who she really is. Can the high school coach show her that behind the facade is where the really beauty lies?

Another Round of Whiskey by S. Moose

At first sight.

At first taste.

I never thought Whiskey would become my addiction. We melted together as one. He was my world. I was his everything. Our love was consuming. Every time we touched, we ignited.

One dream.

One choice.

Seven years later, I’m back home and the beautiful man standing before me still has the power to set my body on fire. The desire is overpowering. But the pain of the past keeps him away.

When he leaves me standing in the middle of the bar, I sit on his stool and come up with some sort of plan. Anything that’ll bring back the piece of my heart I left behind. So, when the bartender asks what I’m having, I let him know.

Another round of Whiskey.

What happens when the law man finds himself attracted to the woman on the run?

Have you visited Mason yet?

She’s a country girl, having fun with her sister in Nashville, but has no plans to stay. She misses the Hill Country of Texas, and her horses. After recording her CD, she heads home and never looks back, even though the man behind the glass caused her heart to flutter as she sang.

Determined to find the girl with the perfect voice, Jeremy heads to Texas to try to convince her that she’s the next big thing. But when he sees her in her own world, as more than just a pretty face and a beautiful voice, he realizes that maybe his life in the big city isn’t what he really wants. Maybe the Hills of Texas and in the arms of sweet Kennedy is where he truly belongs.

 

 
EVERYTHING I NEED by Ellie Wade

Leni Turner

I learned very young that love has the power to destroy us, and so I’ve stayed clear, vowing to never lose myself to love another. I escaped Texas and broke free from the life that tried to destroy me. Yet here I am, five years later, my dreams shattered, on a bus back to the place I never wanted to be.

Liam Moore

I spend my days on the ranch, doing what I love, in my favorite place on Earth. After years without contact, I’m startled to find her green eyes staring back at me, making me realize how much I’ve missed her. She doesn’t want me in her life, and yet now that she’s back, I don’t know how I’ll make it without her in mine.

Sometimes, everything you need is right where you left it. It’s finding the strength to embrace it that’s the hard part.

Excerpt
Slipping off my shoes, I dim the lights on the wall panel. I
take my clothes off and hang them on a hook near the door before returning to
the tub.
    The tub, warm and inviting as I step in, eases my aching feet from my high heels and the tension in my shoulders. I pour some of the bubble suds and giggle. That was so cute and showed me a whole new side to Ethan—the at-home Texan who relates to his roots—instead of the strong, quieter, broodier man I see sometimes.
    While the suds foam and the tub fills, I look out the window. The sky is clear up here. The buildings are far enough apart to avoid spying on neighbors. It’s like floating in heaven.
    I hear his knock on the door, so I call, “Come in,” while making sure the bubbles cover all the important parts.
    Ethan walks in with two glasses of champagne in one hand and the bottle in the other.
    “You came prepared,” I note, leaning back on one side of the tub.
    “I thought I might join you.” He waggles his eyebrows.
    I giggle and reach for a glass. “Come on in,” I reply and wonder if he will really take me up on my dare.
    He sets the bottle and his glass down on the side of the tub. His tie was removed before he came in and I notice his shoes are long gone, along with his jacket. When he starts on the buttons of his shirt, I sit up, scooping suds over me. “Wait, for real?”
    “Yep. I think that tub’s big enough for the two of us.”
    “But you said you don’t take baths.”
    “I also said I’ve never used this one. Seems like an opportune time.”
    “But I’m naked,” I say, worried about everything—his body naked next to mine, not shaving my legs before I went out tonight. My mind flickers through my flaws. Ugh. No. Just no. Not like that. That stuff should be shared in the dark of a bedroom under the influence of alcohol and desperate sex. We’re too sober for this. I’m too sober for this. What does he possibly see in me when he has women like Nicolina waiting?
    He’s more than I’ve imagined, and in some senses, it scares me. He’s the sort of man women like Nicolina land. For
once though, it was as if she saw me as competition. The feeling is exhilarating.
    “Like I said, seems like an
opportune time.”
    His shirt is dropped, his undershirt following quickly behind. Good God Almighty. What does a guy who looks like that see in me? “I see you like to work out.” I clear my throat and want to bonk my head on the side of the tub for saying it out loud.
    Chuckling, he says, “I have a gym down the hall. It’s how I relieve stress.”
    “I thought that’s what sex was for.”
I gasp and cover my mouth, wishing I could keep my crazy thoughts in my head
where they belong instead of on my tongue. His eyes are heavy, a smirky smirk
restraining a laugh. “God, you cannot let me talk when I’m nervous.”
    “If this is what happens when you’re nervous, I’ll make you nervous more often.” His pants come down and my
curiosity is answered. Tonight he’s in boxers. When he catches my eyes on his
package, I’m thankful I’m wearing waterproof mascara because I immediately go
underwater. Screw my makeup. It’s really the only way to keep my mouth in check
at this point. I count to five and then pop back up. With my hands covering my
boobs, I ask, “You’re really coming in?”
    “Yes, scoot over.”
    Good God Almighty.

ARC Review of “Everest”, by S. L. Scott @GiveMeBooksBlog @slscottauthor

A beautiful read about a billionaire who is fighting to regain his life,  and a young woman who is struggling to make her dreams come true.

Ethan Everest is a self made billionaire who is betrayed by two people that he never suspects. He should have followed his gut feelings when he first met Singer. It would have saved him so much trouble and torment.

Singer Davis is a young woman who moves to New York City to follow her dream of working for a publishing company. She’s in a job that she hates because her dream has not come true yet.

Ethan and Singer meet at a party one night and there is an instant attraction, but then Ethan walks away from her, only to be betrayed. It takes them almost a year to finally get together and figure out that they were meant to be together.

There is love found, suspense, tragedy, and a sense of belonging in this book. I loved that Ethan could make Singer feel like a queen and treated her with the utmost respect. He never belittled her for where she lived or tried to play on her insecurities. He is a true gentleman with a huge heart, but has to hide it until Singer shows him it’s okay to feel. Ms. Scott is such a talented writer and I always enjoy reading her books. I give this book a 5 star rating.

ARC Review of “The Plan: An Off-Limits Romance”, by Ella James @GiveMeBooksBlog @author_ellaj

A second chance romance book that will make you feel good as well. Marley and Gabe married at a young age and it didn’t last. Now they are both back home in Fate, Alabama and living in the same house. It’s ten years later. Neither knew the other was living there. This could be awkward.

Marley returns home after finding out that her mother is terminally ill. She wants a baby but she’s not in a relationship. She decides to set that aside for a while and concentrate on her mother and her life back in Alabama.

Gabe returns home to heal from a broken relationship and getting sober. He is not happy to see Marley moving into the same house he lives in, even if it is in a different section of the house and they won’t be living in the same quarters really.

These characters are both trying to deal with a broken relationship and hurt from those relation ships. Is there still something between them, or did it die years ago? They are both very well developed characters and Marley’s friends add to her character because you see a different side of her when she is with them.

I really enjoyed this story and as usual, Ella James did a great job writing this story. I give this book a 4.5 star rating. I love reading Ella James books, and I look forward to reading more.

I don’t know how my life got so twisted.
One day, I’m working as a cash guard, shooting the tires off a stolen
vehicle, and the next I’m a guard for the only daughter of high-profile mob
boss, Marco Ventilli.
The twist?
I’ve already met the five-foot-four, one-hundred-and-ten-pound
bombshell that is Sera Ventilli. 
In fact, I’ve had her every way a man can have a woman, and if her
father ever finds out, he’ll skin me alive and bury me six feet under the hot
sands of Las Vegas. 
I knew Sera looked like the worst kind of trouble—my gut told me she was—but she swore otherwise, and I lapped up every single lie she fed me, like a Goddamn idiot.
All I had to do was keep the promise I made to my mother on her deathbed. Leave the Army, find a normal job and a good woman, and get on with my life.
Yeah. So much for that.
