Hey everyone, I am back with a sports romance to tell you about!
All Lined Up by Cora Carmack
Dallas Cole did not have a breezy time in high school. Her dad was the football coach and her football playing, ex- boyfriend, broke her heart.
The college choices that her dad would agree to were limited, but she was determined to make a career out of dancing. She was glad to be starting fresh and out of her father's shadow.
However, Dallas and her father would both be going to college together. He accepted the coaching position at Rusk University.
Dallas' best friend, Stella, was determined to make sure that Dallas enjoyed college life.
While at a party, Dallas over hears a disturbing conversation about herself. It was between her ex and the hot guy who was hitting on her moments before excusing herself to the bathroom.
In her haste to be alone she runs to a room, goes to the balcony, and screams.
Her screams do not go unnoticed by Carson McClain. While the two are talking, she hears that the hot guy, she was with earlier, is looking for her. She decides to climb down the balcony, where she lands not so gracefully in Carson's lap.
Carson McClain is the new football transfer who is determined to go from second-string quarterback to the starting line-up.
He is only at the party for the sake of team comradery.
BUT
When Dallas landed in his lap things were looking up.
However, he failed to mention that he is a football player.
AND
He has no idea that she is the coach's daughter.
This is book one in a trilogy. It was a steady paced and fun read! I will be continuing on with the second book, All Broke Down, at some point.
HAPPY READING!!!

Too Late By Colleen Hoover (Adults Only)
Hey everyone, the book I will be telling you about today has very adult themes and that may be sensitive triggers for some people.
Too Late by Colleen Hoover
Sloan comes from an unstable home life.
She comes across Asa Jackson who has a dark past of his own. From the beginning he charms her and the two date while attending college.
Years later, Asa Jackson is not the man she fell for.
She tried to leave once but she has nowhere to turn to.
BUT
When it comes to making choices, she also has her brother to consider.
Her brother has health issues that require him to be in an in-care facility.
When Sloan found out her brother lost his government care funding, Asa swept in to save the day.
Now, she is forced to move back in with Asa. Things are worse than before. People are in and out of the house, like a revolving door in a hotel. There are parties happening every night and Asa is the go to drug dealer.
Despite all the craziness going on in her life she still manages to go to class, where she meets Carter.
When she returns home and is in the middle of cleaning, she sees Carter walk in the house with Asa. She is informed that Carter is the new guy of the group.
Carter does not seem anything like Asa. He is funny, caring, and sweet.
Is it all an act?
Why is he involved in Asa's drug ring?
This book deals with tragic pasts, as well as an abusive and controlling relationship. The story itself is very gripping! I could not put this book down. My heart ached for Sloan and her bother and I loved Carter's character.

The Glittering Court By Richelle Mead
Hey everyone, I am back to tell you about a book that released earlier this month!
The Glittering Court by Richelle Mead
Elizabeth Ruthford is a an Osfridian countess who takes on the identity of a former lady's maid, Adelaide Bailey, to escape an arranged marriage. Her plan is to join the Glittering Court and start a new life in the New World, Adoria.
The Glittering Court is a school where select impoverished young women are chosen and given the opportunity to learn etiquette and skills of the upper class, to be married off to well off gentleman of their choosing.
While it may seem like a noble cause to help the common woman, it is a business venture for the founder and his family.
Each woman signs a contract before joining the Glittering Court and each girl is given a price to be paid upon marriage by the husband-to-be.
However, the heart wants what the heart wants and despite the rules, things do not go as planned.
Will the countess be discovered?
Will she ever find the happiness she desires?
OR
Will this adventure be more than she bargained for?
AND
Cost her everything?
I REALLY enjoyed this book! I loved the story line, the main characters as well as the friendships, and the story pacing was steady. However, the story is more of a historical read than a fantasy, the Governess, Viola, needed to be put in her place (along with others). It is to my understanding that there will be a few books after this one with a different main character. With that being said, there were several gaps in this story line that I hope will be filled as the story progresses.

Club Shadowlands By Cherise Sinclair (Adults Only)
Hey everyone, I have an erotic read to share with you today. So, if you are not 18 or older please skip this review.
Club Shadowlands by Cherise Sinclair
Jessica Randall's car breaks down during a tropical storm and comes across an isolated mansion.
The owner agrees to allow her inside to wait out the storm.
She is quick to learn that the house is not a home, it is a private club.
Later on, she quickly signs the documents to be allowed past the entrance.
She is shocked by what she she sees, but cannot help being aroused, as the private club is where a variety of fantasies are fulfilled.
The owner, Master Z, eases her into his world and cannot deny his attraction to this "Little One."
I enjoyed this book. It was a fast paced read. However, it was a typical BDSM read. There was nothing unique about the story line or the characters.

Down to You By M. Leighton (Adults Only)
Hey everyone, 2016 has been an amazing reading year for me, thus far! Today, I have a twisted but steamy romance to share with you!
Down to You by M. Leighton
While attending a friends bachelorette party, Olivia Townsend, mistakes the club owner, Cash Davenport, for the hired stripper.
When she wakes up the next morning in the apartment Olivia and her cousin share, she is shocked to see the hot club owner is in their kitchen.
Until she discovers that the man in her kitchen is not only her cousin's boyfriend, Nash Davenport. There has also been a case of mistaken identity.
There is no doubt that the twin brothers are sizzling hot.
Cash is the bad boy, the type that Olivia has always been attracted to. She has been burned too many times in the past and is determined to find a guy with a head on his shoulders and a mindset towards the future.
Too bad she see's everything her mother would approve of in the brother that is already spoken for.
However, a man is only as faithful as his heart is true.
The Davenport brothers have made it clear that they are interested in her.
As the lines become blurred, it only further complicates things when secrets are revealed. Secrets that could become deadly.
I LOVED this book! It is extremely fast paced, steamy and fun! I could not stop reading. This book has a major twist I did not see coming and when I was finished with the book. I was like NOOO, it can not end this way! HeHe. I will be reading the next book, Up to Me!

Beautiful Distraction By J.C Reed (Adults Only)
Hey everyone, I have a love/hate book to share with you!
Beautiful Distraction by J.C Reed
Ava Cross was doing her friend a favor, when Kellan Boyd's Lambo and her Ford collided outside of a club.
Lets just say, lasting impressions were made. He was a sexy but smug, entitled, jerk and she was quick to put him in his place.
She was certain they would never cross paths again.
Three months later, Ava reluctantly agrees to a road trip with her friend Mandy. Their destination is Montana, where they plan to see Mandy's favorite band preform.
On the way there, things go from bad to worse. They find themselves lost in the middle of nowhere, they get caught in dangerous weather and end up with car troubles.
In an attempt to get help and find shelter to wait out the storm, she comes across a house. When she knocks on the door she is shocked to find a familiar face looking back at her.
Too bad it's not a friendly face. It is the hot, but entitled, jerk from three months ago.
AND
Due to extenuating circumstances, Ava finds herself at his mercy.
Was their paths crossing again a divine intervention?
OR
Just a twisted coincidence?
I LOVED THIS BOOK! The story was fun and fast paced, the characters were memorable. The book was predictable at times yet there was a couple of plot twists and the ending was perfection.

Dirty By Kylie Scott (Adults Only)
Hey everyone, I have a hilarious and fun read to share with you!
Dirty by Kylie Scott.
Lydia Green was all set to marry and begin a future with the love of her life.
UNTIL
She received an anonymous video on her phone, exposing the groom's secret, his true love.
After viewing the video, she was quick to flee the scene. She hopped over a fence, ruined her wedding dress, snuck inside what she thought to be an empty house, through the bathroom window, and was discovered in the shower by the home owner.
Vaughan Hewson is a talented tattooed musician who has returned to his childhood home, after having a bit of bad luck of his own.
Can these two polar opposite strangers, who met under very unusual circumstances, become each others saving grace?
Or
Are they just meant to share a moment before moving on?
I LOVED THIS BOOK! I loved the characters. The humor was laugh out loud funny. The book was fast paced and as a reviewer I pride myself on giving authors and readers a like, my honest opinion. With that being said, usually when I love a book I give it five stars! However, given the few issues I had with this book, I am going to have to give it four stars. In order to avoid spoilers, I can not go into details regarding these issues but, I can say it has nothing to do with the steamy, romance scenes. Despite the few issues, Kylie Scott is still a favorite author of mine.
