Will hates the way Patrick's shoulders slump. He hates the look of defeat on his face. He hates most that he's put it there. "I don't want to hurt you."   "You already did." The Wake Up Married series, which I've been calling the Will & Patrick series, has been on my to-be-read list since I first heard about it at the end of last year. When the opportunity to read and review not just one but all six books, I jumped on it because when it comes to books, I don't pass up on something as fantastic as this. I was able to get through the entire serial in one sitting and loved every single page! Now, I'm not a fan of serials because they tend to test my patience (and if you're familiar with my reviews, you've hea...

Note: This ARC was provided by Harlequin in exchange for an honest review. Out Rider is the eleventh novel in the Jackson Hole series by bestselling author Lindsay McKenna. I haven't read any of the previous releases from the series--though I'm quite curious about them after having finished this latest one--but you can still read this as a standalone without feeling as if you're missing something. Here we have Devorah McGuire, a former marine who now works for the US Forest Service as a ranger. She moves to Jackson Hole, Wyoming in hopes of putting as much distance as possible between her and her past. She then meets Sloan Rankin, a man who knows his way around the Grand Tetons National Park and mentors Dev to the best of his abilities. There's a chemistry between them that neither can deny. Dev has already survived one traumatizing experience with a man she thought she could trust before and Sloan has his own set of scars left behind by a failed marriage. If th...

Swerve (Boosted Hearts #1) by Sherilee Gray Date Released: April 26, 2016 About Swerve He’ll risk it all for one more night…  When Hugh Colton’s father ran off, leaving him with a pile of gambling debts and a crime boss demanding repayment in stolen cars, his options were limited. Now his life’s on hold, and the last thing he needs to be worrying about is a distressed redhead in a Poison Ivy costume. He sure as hell shouldn’t be rescuing her in the car he’s just boosted—or asking her to come home with him. But a thief like him can’t offer more, no matter how much he wants to. Everyone either leaves or is taken away, at least that’s all graphics designer Shay Freestone has ever known. And after a confidence shattering, career destroying break-up, she’s sworn off relationships forever. So it’s a good thing this raw, bearded, mountain of a man isn’t her type. Yet as one reckless hot night leads to another, their casual, no-strings affair starts to feel like so m...

Note: This ARC was provided by Enticing Journey Book Promotions in exchange for an honest review. A bad boy and good girl falling for each other is one of my favorite romance tropes and the book that works that theme quite well is Swerve , the Boosted Hearts series starter from author Sherilee Gray. I'd have to say this is probably my top bad-boy-and-good-girl romances this year and it also happens to be my favorite Sherilee Gray, whose Axle Alley Vipers series was a fun read and one that I intend to finish via the third and final book this weekend. Swerve is sweet and sexy and leaves you fully satisfied by the time you get to the end. It's about twenty-five-year-old three-job part-timer Shay Freestone and thirty-one-year-old car thief and mechanic Hugh Colton. They're both doing whatever is necessary to keep their lives moving forward--albeit she chooses to do so by juggling several jobs and he's forced to boost vehicles in order to pay off his father's am...
