Blurbs; 

Tempting the Best Man 

A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

She'll make him lose control...

Madison Daniels has worshipped her brother's best friend since they were kids. Everyone thinks she and Chase Gamble would make the perfect couple, but there are two major flaws in their logic. 1) Chase has sworn off relationships of any kind, and 2) after blurring the line between friends and lovers for one night four years ago, they can't stop bickering.

Forced together for her brother's wedding getaway, Chase and Madison decide to call a truce for the happy couple. Except all bets are off when they're forced to shack up in a tacky 70’s honeymoon suite and survive a multitude of "accidents" as the family tries to prove their "spark" can be used than for more than fighting. That is, if they don't strangle each other first....

Tempting the Player

A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

He's a player on and off the field...

Chad Gamble, all-star pitcher for the Nationals, is one of the best players on—and off—the field. And right now, the notorious bad boy wants Bridget Rodgers. But with her lush curves and snappy comebacks, the feisty redhead is the kind of woman a man wants to settle down with…and that’s the last thing Chad needs.

When the paparazzi catch them in a compromising position, Chad’s manager issues an ultimatum: clean up his act or kiss his multi-million dollar contract goodbye. To save his career, his meddling publicist says he'll have to convince everyone Bridget isn’t just his flavor of the week, but his girlfriend.

Being blackmailed into a fake relationship with Chad Gamble isn’t easy, especially when the sizzling physical attraction between them is undeniable. With a month to go on their arranged pretense, it's going to take every ounce of willpower they have not to fall into bed together...or in love.

Tempting the Bodygaurd

A sexy category romance from Entangled’s Brazen imprint...

He can protect her from everyone except himself.

Alana Gore is in danger. A take-no-prisoners publicist, her way with people has made her more than a few enemies over the years, but a creepy stalker is an entirely different matter. She needs a bodyguard, and the only man she can ask is not only ridiculously hot, but reputed to have taste for women that goes beyond adventurous.

Chandler Gamble has one rule: don't protect anyone you want to screw. But with Alana, he's caught between his job and his increasingly hard libido. On one hand, Alana needs his help. On the other, Chandler wants nothing more than to take the hot volcano of a woman in hand. To make her writhe in pleasure, until she's at his complete mercy.

She needs protection. He needs satisfaction. And the moment the line is crossed, all hell will break loose...

These books are literally nothing less than beautiful from the smut to the boys it doesn't get better than this. 

If you like kind, making love sex-stories the first two books are definitely for you but if you like to read about kinky sex then the last and final book in this series is the one to go for. 

Chase, Chad and Chandler are beautiful, and their stories all have something different. 

The girls in these books are independent, different in looks (both size and facial appearance) and amazing character to read about. 

So if you have been one of the few which haven't picked up these heated books go get your grabby fingers all over these fine pieces of meat or if you're a vegetarian, these fine pieces of carrots!

Measuring Up by Nyrae Dawn

“He hurt me more than anyone ever has, but he loved me better than anyone ever did, too.”

I have yet to read more books of Nyrae Dawn's but her writing captured me in Measuring up. She used simple words, simple sentences yet altogether they made something very beautiful.

Annabel Lee is a 17 year old girl that isn't a size 0, or close to. Her mother is in very nice words a complete and utter witch. Having hired a personal trainer to help her lose weight during the summer. The last thing she expects is for her personal trainer to be blonde, muscular and funny. His name is Tegan and in her eyes just another jerk, but Tegan is much more than that. He's the boy that teaches her to box when she's having a bad day, Who jogs with her letting her set the pace.

Fitness isn't all that is on either of their minds though, and soon he offers her much more than just working out together. His kisses leaves her always wanting more. The way he looks at her makes her feel much more beautiful than what the scales read and most of all unlike her mother he does not expect perfection, or tends to shield her from the world like her father does. Tegan has a lot to learn from Annabel though. He needs to learn that he can't always protect those he loves and that sometimes you have to do what's right for you instead of what's right for others in order to ever be truly satisfied in life.

Love is a complicated thing though, and soon both of them have to learn that loving someone doesn't always mean needing someone.

Measuring up is a book that you read within a night, it's a book that makes the smallest, the simplest things in life matter. It's a book that makes you realize love is not need. To love you do not have to need that person, if anything you should love them but never need them because that love can disappear from your life in a matter of seconds.

This book gets 3 out of 5 stars from me, it was beautifully written and a perfect romance. I guess the reason it wouldn't get 5 out of 5 though is because we've all seen this story before, boy meets girl - girl isn't good enough for boy. Boy loves girl anyways, girl loves boy. Life gets in the way and then they get the perfect ending. But this book does have more than that in it, it's message is what we should all keep within our hearts for years to come.

Need is not love, and vice-versa.

Lux Series by Jennifer L. Armentrout

This series is yet another example of Jenniefer L. Armentrout’s beautiful and creative writing and storytelling skills. 

Lux Series: 

The Lux series so far has made me laugh out loud, cry myself to sleep, want to punch someone in the face and drool over hot beautiful Aliens!

"So the dickhead had a name. Daemon—seemed fitting. And of course his sister would be as attractive as him. Why not? Welcome to West Virginia, the land of lost models."

Obsidian is the first book of this utterly captivating series. The book is written in Katy's point of view. The girl from out of town who has just moved in next door to the Black family which consists of Dee and Daemon - who are not your average everyday beautiful mortals.They are much more, they're aliens from a planet called Lux, and they are known as Luxen. They have lived on planet earth since they were children but their kind have been coming here for decades as their enemies the Arum destroyed their home. And are still out to get them, how will it all work out when it's not just Dee, Daemon has to worry about but Katy too? 

"Air punched out of my lungs. I held her tight, and I knew right then I would burn down the whole universe for her if I had to. I would do anything to keep her safe. Kill. Heal. Die. Anything. Because she was my everything."

Onyx is the second book in this series. Daemon must prove to Katy that what he feels for her is real., but they've both bigger problems right now. The Department of Defence has shown up bringing with them a new boy to the small town. He knows what has happened to Katy and tells her he can help her with learning control, but Daemon doesn't trust the boy. That's not all though Katy has seen someone that shouldn't be alive. How will Katy survive the drastic changes in her life, and will she ever be normal again? 

"I love you, Katy. Always have. Always will."

Opal, the third heart breaking book in Lux. They've no way out, danger is closing in all around them. How will they survive when they have to trust the boy who's proven he can't be trusted? Katy's world is falling apart, but it's about to get even worse. She can't be without him, and he can't be without her. So how are they going to keep fighting when they're not together?

"So I was thinking, there're eighty-six thousand, four hundred seconds in a day, right? There're one thousand, four hundred and forty minutes in a day...There're one hundred and sixty-eight hours in a week. Around eighty-seven hundred and then some hours in a year, and you know what?...I want to spend every second, every minute, every hour with you...I want a year's worth of seconds and minutes with you. I want a decade's worth of hours, so many that I can't add them up."

Origin. The fourth book in this emotional roller-coaster. We get to know Daemon inside and out in this one, as each second chapter is in his point of view. The first thing we learn is Daemon wasn't kidding when he said he'd burn down the world to save her. People they trusted can no longer be trusted, enemies surround them in every corner. With help coming from the most unlikely allies. And cliffhangers are what Jennifer L. Armentrout loves to leave us with.

As I wait patiently till August for the last book of this series ‘Opposition.’ I have begun 'The covenant series' and so far am very pleased with the writing and story.

Jennifer L. Armentrout gets five stars for this series. It was a series full of surprises. It was exciting, heart-breaking, romantic and drool worthy. I usually don’t read books about aliens, but Jenn has converted me. If every alien book out there is like this one, I’ll definitely be picking them up from now on. With her articulate writing and fascinating stories, Armentrout never seems to fail me.
