Review - Mitigation (Legal Affairs, #4) by Sawyer Bennett


Matt showed and gave Mac the comfort she needed after a tragic event. Though when she went home things were the same although things did change in a big way. She could no longer go in that way. She gave him an ultimatum which after awhile he admitted being alone was worse than possibly getting his heartbroken again. I'm so glad that Matt found the light he is such an amazing man and who has a sensitive side and I think will make an excellent boyfriend for Mac. So now I look forward to their official date and wherever that may lead them down the road.

Review - Weak for Him (Weakness #1) by Lyra Parish

Not a typical start to a love story but it was very entertaining. Moving to Las Vegas to start a career at a accounting firm a few mishaps and that opportunity is gone but Finley Felton presents her with another job opportunity which is as far from accounting as you can get. He pushes her and she pushes her right back. Though getting to close isn't permitted him being the boss and Jennifer the employee. Throw in an equally attractive fun brother (Luketon Brand) and things get really interesting. Based on the way they live their lives who knew that they would make such a perfect fit for each other. Jennifer was able to fill the hole that was left by a tragedy and Jennifer finally got the love she deserves. I'm curious as to where the characters go from here and what role will Luke play in that. I kinda miss Lori (Jennifer's confidant in the mad house). I look forward to the next installment.

Review - Betrayal (Passion, #1) by P.A. Jones

A chance meeting between Emma and Gavin and one hot moment afterward seemed to make quite the impression because a year later there's another chance meeting it seems only their feeling for each other has grown. Emma has a dark secret that prevents her from giving herself fully to Gavin but a talk from her family gives her just the encouragement she needs to move forward. She tells Gavin her secret nothing if not understanding. Though it seems that Gavin may be hiding a very important secret(s) of his own. After a blissful night together and with a knock on the door we find exactly what those secrets are. It seems to me that Emma may have been innocent but she was a little naive as well. In this day and age who doesn't at least Google their potential date? I feel like she would have learn his secrets with a few mouse clicks anyway I'm interested in seeing if Gavin can get Emma to forgive him and if we'll ever find out why Adam left Emmma's sister at the altar a moment her sister still hasn't been able to shake.

Review - Lover Mine (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #8) by J.R. Ward

I have to say this may be my favorite book in the series. In the story we learn that Xhex, John Matthew (Darius), and Tohrture had/has a close tie with each other. A tie only one remembers having. Lash got his final reward though I don't think we've seen the last of him. Xhex and John mated after they made themselves emotionally vulnerable. Tohr stood for John and Xhex had her mom stood up for her (wasn't that a shocker?) It was nice seeing Xhex getting back to her old self. Though with a few improvements she was the same kick butt take no crap sympath/vampire she has always been. It seems that Tohr is finally on the way to healing the pain of losing his shellan is still there but he is no longer wallowing. Him and John (for reasons we found out) are once again close. It seems that their closeness was always meant to happen though now the roles are reversed. I wonder if eventually John will finally realize who he is? V is reunited with his sister Payne whom he thought had died. Blay and Qhuinn finally let each other go. The next installment should be just as interesting as a lover who was once thought dead may still be alive.

Review - Lover Avenged (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #7) by J.R. Ward


So many twists and turns in this installment and some very interesting developments. Wrath was forced to take in the world from a different view. Things become Physical for Xhex and John Matthew though instead of bringing them closer it made them basically strangers to each other. One best friend still pining for the other. An all things consider bad guy (Rehvenge)found love. Though considering how he choose to live his life he felt he wasn't deserving of it. If I learned anything from this series you have no control over who you bond with. You can only give in or walk away and walking away is a fate worse than death. The son of the omega was revealed to hoi mortal enemy. I wondering how things will play with those two now that a woman stands between the two. With the help of his woman Ehlena he ascended a role he never would accepted but in the end it was the right thing to do. Tohr finally return home and into the fight with help from an unlikely source. I enjoy the father son dynamic between him and John I would hate if that was lost because he was grieving for his mate. The war is going stronger than ever and with the son of the omega in the mix anything and everything could happen.
