Review: Dirty Deeds by Lorelei James


Note: This ARC was provided by the author via Give Me Books Promotions in exchange for an honest review.

Dirty Deeds was originally released more than a decade ago, but I can't compare the 2006 edition with this re-edited and re-worked 2017 edition since I wasn't able to read the original release. This also happens to be my very first Lorelei James read and now I get why she's a favorite of many a romance and erotica reader. This story of bad boy Nathan LeBeau and good girl Tate Cross is wickedly sexy, having two main characters who have opposing reputations. However, they're both looking for a change of pace. Nathan wants to prove that he is indeed capable of being in a romantic relationship and not merely into hook-ups and one-night stands. On the other hand, Tate's broken heart needs a break and the last thing she needs is to be in yet another committed relationship that could lead to disappointment. Can these two find the middle ground between the promise of love and sexual pleasure?

This book was dirty indeed, in all the best ways possible. I liked that these were two people who used to live their lives on opposite ends of the spectrum, but find one another just when they've both decided that they're ready for something different. Nathan never wanted for female companionship, but all he needed was the physical release. Now, he wants something more and it's with Tate, who may have wanted the same thing prior to experiencing getting he heart stomped on. What she wants now is a no-strings-attached affair. Nothing more, nothing less. It was interesting to see how these two tried to convince one another that their way of thinking was the "right" one. I really liked Nathan, especially because he actually was quite sweet and definitely knew a thing or two about romancing Tate. Dirty Deeds has me wanting to read even more of Lorelei James's books. This one gets four stars. ♥

Release Blitz: Saved by Hazel James

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone. Haven’t I been through enough already? Clay Prescott Joining the Army and deploying to Afghanistan? Hard. Kicking an alcohol addiction and starting a business combining fitness and mental health? Harder. Worth it? Hell yes.  Battles, my gym, has been so successful that I hired a new employee—a veteran herself—to help me open a second location. And that’s when it all goes to hell. Everything

At forty-eight, hook-ups, one night stands, and quickies in a bathroom are as good as it gets for him. It’s all he’s looking for when he goes to Neon. Instead, he finds Greg. Drawn to each other from the start, the two experience a bit of a bumpy take-off. But then Holden ends up on Greg

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
