MY REVIEW:
MY RATING: 5 Stars!!!

I highly recommend because this book is incredible!! I read this book twice in 4 days and I rarely reread books.

First of all this book is AMAZING and is giving me a book hangover! You know that feeling of complete contentment after reading a book and not wanting to leave the characters or the story because it's just so amazingly written? This is how I feel about this book. It's hilarious, sexy, sweet, and a whole lot of other adjectives that I just can't think of because I love this book so much. This book will make you smile and swoon and remember why you fell in love with the romantic comedy genre in the first place. I've read a lot of romantic comedies and this is one of the best ones out there in my opinion. 

I started reading this author in December on a whim. I was looking at books I had on my kindle, you know the ones you see on Amazon for free or for $.99 and think why not while adding it, and found the first book of this series. I really liked it and continued with the series always waiting for Piper and Oliver's story because I knew it was going to be epic and Erin Nicholas did not disappoint. 

Piper was the personal assistant to Oliver and has been in love with him for at least the last two, not that he's realized it. She wants more then to be his personal assistant and ends up giving her two week notice. Ollie doesn't know what he will do without Piper there to help him with everything. Oliver decides he's going to stick around Piper and make her fall out of love with him, but could he instead possibly fall in love with her? 

I love Piper's character. She's sassy, sweet, funny, relatable and has amazing fashion sense. I seriously want some of her clothes from these books. Oliver is a creative genius, who needs to learn who he truly is and be able to fly on his own. I love how these two characters fit together. They make eachother better versions of themselves. I don't want to say much more, but I HIGHLY recommend reading this story. We met Piper and Oliver in Sugarcoated and as the books progressed I couldn't wait to read their story. Piper and Oliver's story was definitely worth the wait. This was the perfect conclusion to this series. 

EXCERPT

The guys were going to kill him.

Ollie scrubbed a hand over his face.

They wouldn’t be surprised, of course. But they were going to be pissed.

They’d all known that Piper quitting was a risk and that one day she’d probably wise-up and lose her patience and that would be it.

They’d also all known that when it happened there was a 90 percent chance it would be because of Ollie.

The other 10 percent chance was that it would be because of Ollie and Dax together.

And now it had finally happened.

If it came down to choosing between him and Piper, he wasn’t sure he wanted to know how that debate would end up. Or how short the discussion would be before they decided they wanted and needed her more.

That was only one of the reasons he hadn’t told them yet.

The other was because he was still processing the part where she’d said she loved him.

What was he supposed to do with that?


She wasn’t just supposed to say that out loud right to him, was she? He had not been expecting that. The guys and their girlfriends had insinuated for a while now that Piper might have a crush on him but no, he hadn’t expected her to ever say anything herself.

It was a might have. A crush. Okay, they were adults and maybe adults didn’t have crushes exactly, but everything anyone had said suggested that it was just that Piper thought he was interesting at times and that she didn’t hate spending time with him.

But a crush wasn’t love. For fuck’s sake.

And it had to be Piper?

Piper Barry was amazing. She was gorgeous. She was smart. She was capable.

She could do anything. She was funny and sweet and sassy and tough.

She was intimidating as hell.

What was he supposed to do with her now?

What was he supposed to do without her now?

Well, the solution seemed pretty obvious. She’d basically given him the answer herself—I can’t be in love with you and work for you. And the only one of those two things I can change is the working for you part.

So he needed to get her to not be in love with him anymore. Then she’d come back to work and all would be fine.

Now he just had to get her to realize she could do a hell of a lot better than him.

Of course, he’d been a pain in her ass for five years now. If that didn’t do it, he wasn’t sure what would.

Irresistible- Freebie Alert!!

 ★  ★  ★  FREEBIE ALERT ★  ★  ★

“This book, like all her others, is absolutely irresistible."-- Laurelin Paige, New York Times bestselling author

Irresistible, a steamy single dad, small-town romance from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is FREE for a limited time only!

BLURB:

I’m a full-time single dad to three daughters and CFO at Cloverleigh Farms. I don’t have time to fall in love—I’m too busy trying to run a business, keep the red socks out of the white laundry, and get the damn pillowcases on without owing a dollar to the swear jar.

Sure, Frannie Sawyer is beautiful and sweet, but she’s twenty-seven, the boss’s daughter, and my new part-time nanny—which means she’s completely off-limits. It’s bad enough I can’t stop fantasizing about her, what kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her?

(Exactly the kind of jerk you’re thinking.)

Actually, I’m worse than that—because I didn’t stop with a kiss, and now I can’t stay away.  She makes me feel like myself again. She reminds me what it’s like to want something just for me. She’s everything I ever needed, but nothing I ever imagined.

I’m a former Marine. I should have had the strength to resist her from the start.

But I didn’t. And now I have to choose between the life I want and the life she deserves.

Even if it means giving her up.

Destructive King-Review!!!

Destructive King by Rachel Van Dyken is now live! 

A mafia romance about love and loss by Rachel Van Dyken, the number one New York Times bestselling author of the Eagle Elite series.


BLURB:

...When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry;

I am not there. I did not die.

 -- Mary Elizabeth Fyre

"I'm sorry for your loss." I would rather be tortured for an eternity than hear those damn words from one more person, as if Claire, my dead fiance, was a cell phone or car keys.

How about, I'm sorry your life is over.

I'm sorry you want to die too.

I'm sorry you see her in your dreams and wake up only to relive the nightmare.

I'm supposed to be the strongest of them all. Ash Abandonato, ruler, assassin, made man, brother, friend--instead, I hurt everyone I touch in hopes that they'll feel even a sliver of the pain that bears down on my shoulders.

I didn't lose.

It was taken from me.

And it's all her fault, Annie Smith.

I daydream about her death.

And then I close my eyes, and I see her soft smile. I feel her touch, her kiss--it was a mistake what we did that night, but I can't take it back, and now she's under my father's protection--my protection.

My worst enemy.

The woman I'm the most attracted to.

I can't decide if I want to strangle her or kiss her, and now that she's stuck in my life, my only goal is to make her feel the same loss I do and destroy her in the process.

I'll trick her with my touch.

Seduce her with my kiss.

And in the end, when my enemy is at her most vulnerable--I'll bring down an entire Empire and continue my reign as King.

Bow down, I'll say as I bring the Five Families to their knees.

Blood in.

Never out.

Damned.

My Review:
My Rating: 5 Stars

 "Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live." Norman Cousins. This was one of the quotes opening the chapter and honestly hit me hard after reading it. Losing someone you love is not easy and if you let if grief can pull you under. That's what happened to Ash. After the loss of his fiancĂ©e Claire, Ash only feels anger and despair. He blames Annie for Claire's death and because of that feels she needs to pay for it. Except, even as much as he hates her he can't help his attraction to her.

Annie is an orphan and under the protection of the Abandonato family. She's just trying to keep a low profile and and survive until graduation. She has a soft spot for Ash and wants to help him grieve and keep living, after all Claire was her friend too. However, Ash can't see past his grief and continuously hurts Annie emotionally as payback. Will Ash finally be able to see past his grief? Will we find out more about Annie's past? Will Annie make Ash pay for hurting her?

I truly enjoyed the angst and strength of these characters. I love that even though these are heavy angsty books, Rachel slips in human moments to lighten things up. There are some moments where your heart just aches and then a few pages later a character makes a joke or you see a family moment and you know that even though it hurts it will get better. I love we get to see the original Eagle Elite characters and all the other kids and see how this family has grown. Grief is a hard thing to write because of the complexities but Rachel has a way of taking it and making the words wrap around your heart and understand the loss. This was my first 5 star book of the year and I can't wait to read more of the Mafia Royals and find out their stories.
