Cooper (Corps Security, #4) by Harper Sloan

Not the Cooper I thought this book would be about when this series started. Though we get the older brother Asher who is just as gorgeous and just as haunted by his past. He basically raised Cool when they were cursed to have a mom who thought them nothing short of worthless. Coop was set in his ways in the ways of woman. With a mom like he had he figure all women were the same and vowed to never to give his heart to a woman. How I wish Coop could see the child that's coming into this world and see just how much love he has to offer. Now the child will always know what an amazing man their dad was. The child will never know what its like to go without love. Finally his brother has found love with a great woman and hopefully somewhere his brother is somewhere smiling at that.

Leah's Seduction 5 (Gianni and Leah) by Emily Jane Trent

Finally a breakthrough of sorts. The more time they spend together Gianni is stubborn to admit that there is more to their relationship than just being sexual. Leah is opening up feelings he never thought he'd feel or deserved but by him finally opening up about the locked room their is a strong shift in their relationship. Truth has a way changing things and feelings and Gianni is trying to grasp these new found feelings. The plan for his enemies is finally coming into fruition. Which shows why he is the successful businessman he is today. It feels like toward the end that Gianni is wants to come to grips with these new feelings that he has for Leah, but refuses to give in to them. Even though in their sexual relationship she is the submissive and he is the dominant, it would seem that in the battle of hearts she is the dominant and he will have no choice sooner rather than later to just submit.

Leah's Seduction: 4 (Gianni and Leah) by Emily Jane Trent

This maybe my favorite book in the series. Gianni continues to deny his growing feelings for Leah but he continues to read the journal and open up Leah sexually. Leah is more sure than ever that she loves him and doesn't hide her feelings but she is hurt despite his actions and the way he cares for her that he still denies that he is in love with her. We get an even closer look into the mind of Gianni the business man the moves he made and the way be handles his enemies is absolute genius. At the end Leah is surprised by an invitation to spend Thanksgiving with his family. Why can't Gianni say he loves her when all his actions say otherwise? Maybe after Thanksgiving weekend we'll find out.

Status (Social Media, # 4) by J.A. Huss

Just trying wrap my head around a few things. Finding out about Grace/Daisy's past. Which was absolutely and totally messed up. The man who took her a sick and twisted man. The secret that Sam was hiding which compared to Grace is so insignificant. I wonder if her and Tray will work things out since something's were out of his control. Is something going on with Felicity and Conner am I imagining things? Through everything Vaughn has turned into the man of her dreams. He's loving attentive and supportive. Of course the love scenes have only gotten hotter. (Anyone else wanna float in Vaughn Asher river?) When she finally returns to her apartment nothing is like it was as Vaughn took charge as only he can. Which Grace finally accepts. Then the secret that she forgot, the thing that Vaughn hopes he's forgiven for is no longer a secret. Which causes her to spiral out of control and once again push Asher away. Nothing surprises her or me more than what was waiting for her on that roof. Book four was pivotal book in the series and things can only get better or worse from here.

Beck (Corps Security #3) by Harper Sloan

This series continues to gut me. The amount of pain that each has to go through is downright painful. We get a deep insight into Dee and Becks relationship. What may have seen like them playing games on the outside on the inside Dee was facing demons no one could have ever imagined and it was Beck who was there to pick up the pieces. Finally Dee laid everything bare to the people most closes to her: Greg, Izzy, and Beck. Once she was let go of the pain that she was holding inside she was finally able to love Beck like he deserved. That was not a easy feat. The years of pain that Dee went through and how she covered up with her happiness and a smile but only one saw through all of that Beck. The problem with her business is bigger than they anticipated and it also has some commonalities with a case the guys are working on. Sadly in the midst of everything a hero lost his life, which left everyone including me completely heartbroken. Despite the loss something amazing came out it. I look forward to seeing what exactly becomes of that surprise and the people that will be affected by it.

They go through so many things to make this relationship work: A secret, a crazed out ex, and unbearable guilt. Despite the unimaginable heartache they go through during the course of their relationship they were able to be the family, love, and strength they needed to heal and I couldn't be happier for the pair. Next its Beck and Dees stories finally we'll learn why she is so broken and how hard Beck is willing to fight for her or let her go.

Axel (Corps Security #1) by Harper Sloan

I love a man in uniform and if that man in uniform has big sensitive heart how can you resist him? In the first installment Axel is featured. Axel and Izzy love story is full of pain and mis-communication. They spent years apart thinking the other had given up on their love. This story was filled with so pain and hurt but most importantly second chances. Despite and Ex husband coming back to claim what he thought was his the couple to have a happy ending. Though the ride to that happy ending was bumpy. I look forward to the next installment with Cage. Haunted by the memory of his sister who was never able to save. Hopeful in his story he can find love and redemption.

Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward

There was nothing I didn't love about this story. It starts off with a stepbrother coming to live with his fathers new family and that was the least complicated part of the story. There was an instant attraction between Greta and Elec. Though at every turn Elec sought out to make her life miserable. In the midst that though he start to like her. After one night when she stood up to his father and comfort him after a nightmare. They shared one night with him before he had to leave and that night would change the course of their lives. A tragic event brings them all together and secrets and feelings unravels. A secret totally blew my mind. Though through all of the that true love happened which led to a son's redemption. I could not put this book down. I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars it was just that good.

Chains by Kelli Maine

I absolutely loved this story. From the first page I was sucked in. This foster kids were each others strength. Essentially told from the POV of Tyler a would be MMA fighter finds the girl he left behind. As kids Tyler, Alex, and Danny were adopted by an abusive man who hid who he was to the outside world. Even though were no longer underage he still haunted them and for Danny he could never quite let her go. Somehow the three find each other again. Taking joy in being together and the few moments of fun they had as children. When it seems like the trio would all find their happy ever after tragedy strikes. A ending that made me hold my breath. Beautifully written heartbreaking story.

Leah's Seduction: 2 (Gianni and Leah) by Emily Jane Trent

Gianni and Leah continue to grow closer. The more Leah gives herself to Gianni the more her feelings for him deepened. Leah tries to deny it but even Gianni can see and feel it because despite what he tells himself he's beginning to feel the same way. Between reading her personal thoughts and having her near him and how she gives herself to him willingly before long feelings will get involved. There's also the fact that she may be a pawn at work. How long will Gianni and Leah give up the pretense that they care about each other and it's more than just sex? When will Gianni come clean about reading her private thoughts?

After the Internship (The Intern #3.5) by Brooke Cumberland

A perfect ending for the unlikely couple. It was nice to see so many things further resolved and a few surprises. We go through the drama of wedding planning while dating a high profile model. The paparazzi seems even more out hand which causes the couple to take a step back and realize what's most important: each other. After taking time for themselves plenty of changes happened. Brighton decides to make a career change that benefits his new family. Ceci has also found happiness in a career she loves. Ceci and her family gets further closure with the death of her father. A lot of tears happy and sad but I couldn't think of a better ending for the couple.

Leah's Seduction: 1 (Gianni and Leah) by Emily Jane Trent

Leah has a lot on her plate. The things going with her family and a boss who takes her for granted. Though she finds solace in her journal. She holds nothing back. All of her fears, desires, sort comings its all there in that book. She misplaced her journal but she has no idea that the man she met or bumped into is the man who has been reading her inner most desires put on paper. I have to say I'm not much of a Gianni fan in this one. Yes he's hot and rich and swoon worthy but I don't care much for how he treats Leah. Typical rich guy who can have any girl he wants. Some guys can pull that off I'm not seeing that though with Gianni. I'm hoping as their story continues he redeems himself. Otherwise I suggest Leah leave before her heart and body becomes even more entangled up in Gianni.

Empathy by Ker Dukey

I choose to read this book on a whim and I'm so happy I did. I could not put it down. This story has drama, action, intrigue, and mystery. The story starts of with a big brother who did what he could to protect his young brother and the results of that one night cause a ripple that would effect the rest of their lives. This is just one of those stories you must read for yourself. If I could write a review that wouldn't give anything away I would. Another one of my top reads for 2014. I'm officially a fan of this author.

Block (Social Media #3) by J.A. Huss

The more I read about Mr Vaughn Asher the more I love and the more he continues to surprise me. Still a dominating male with an alpha covered shell.

Grace is just getting a handle on things when rumors come out which send her spiraling and of course through some major drama Vaughn is there to pick up the pieces.

The Dark Light of Day by T.M. Frazier

This is definitely not your typical romance. Abby had no idea what love was until she lived with her Nan. Up until that point she was the only one whoever loved her. Having been cursed with abusive parents Abby was thankful to have someone to love her. Then suddenly everything is taken away from her and she's left with no one to trust. Enter Jake.

Abby and Jake let each other see a side to each other no one has ever seen and they fell in love. Part love story part redemption. A rollercoaster ride of intense drama. I was totally swept up in Abby and Jakes story.

Hemy (Walk of Shame #2) by Victoria Ashley

Though in his method of coping he loss the love of his life. Through some miracle he is granted a second chance with Onyx and is he ever the relentless one. Fight as she might she can't resist him though now that she knows he has changed she still has one secret left to tell him. That hurt for a moment but eventually he was able to get the family his parents tried to destroy when he was younger and the love that he never knew was possible.

Twisted Together (Monsters in the Dark #3) by Pepper Winters

A perfect ending to a not so typical love story. After the first two books I was thinking how long into the book I would get before the bottom fell out. Monsters out there worse than Q want him dead. Feeling betrayed that he was nothing like his father. Which in the book right up until the very end he thinks he is. Throughout Tess fights over unworthy feelings for Q but circumstances gives her a chance to prove just how alike the pair are. When Q is taken the roles are reverse she is intent on getting back just as much as he was when she was taken. I'm happy that the pair have finally found some happiness in the midst of the darkness that they have faced so far. They are truly the others equal and realized that love like never comes along twice. The wedding was absolutely beautiful but not without some surprises thanks to Suzette. Who I was happy that Franco finally took noticed and realized she wasn't that broken girl he held when she arrived. I'm going to miss the pair but I'm curious what life will be like for them once a little Mercer is added to the mix? It may another set of issues for Tess and Q to overcome.

Slade (Walk of Shame #1) by Victoria Ashley

What is up with these Walk of Shame boys. They crept into my heart without me even knowing it. Slade was once this clean cut lawyer who fell in love when tragedy struck and somehow ends up being a stripper and a bartender. Then his roommate decides to help his friend Aspen out and right away you could see the chemistry. They both have baggage that could fill a 747 and somehow they manage to break through the damage and fall in love. Though not with a lot of lapses in communication. I look forward to getting to know all the boys and seeing beyond the pretty faces they project to the world and the pain underneath. To finally see them face their demons and heal.
