Review: Dylan by Melissa Foster (Bad Boys After Dark #2)


Note: This ARC was provided by the author via RockStar Lit PR in exchange for an honest review.

The Bad Boys After Dark series by Melissa Foster continues with the second Bad brother, Dylan, bar co-owner, and he's paired up with Tiffany Winters, sports agent, and if you've read the series starter, Mick, you'll know that Dylan first noticed Tiffany at his eldest brother's wedding and that Tiffany was someone Mick knew professionally. From the get-go, it's clear that Tiffany tries to keep some semblance of control and distance from the ever-so-tempting Dylan, but even as she tries to rebuff his advances, this particular Bad brother refuses to back down from the challenge that is Tiffany, who he's nicknamed "Summers". He wants the woman who constantly has her mobile phone in her hand, answering every text message and call, to loosen up and enjoy herself with him, but Tiffany doesn't know how and she's wary of trusting Dylan's actions and motives, having experienced betrayal at the hands of a cheating ex. Even as his own brothers warn him, worried that Dylan will get his heart broken for his efforts, Dylan knows for sure that there's a tenderhearted woman beneath Tiffany's really tough and cold exterior.

I rather liked this second novel! Dylan and Tiffany were quite a pair, with him being this man who believed in romance, wooing, and falling in love and her being this woman who was all about making a name for herself in an a male-dominated industry and not having time for anything than a quick hookup. Out of the two Bad men whose stories have been shared so far, I admit that Dylan is my favorite, not that Mick wasn't great. There was just something about Dylan being this man who wanted commitment but wasn't sappy or overly sentimental about love. He was that perfect combination of sweet and sexy, so I totally get why Tiffany wasn't able to resist him and his undeniable charms. As far as Tiffany was concerned, it took me a few chapters to warm up to her, but the more those protective layers of hers came off, the more likable she became. I really liked the woman that she evolved into once she welcomed Dylan into her life. She was still independent and ambitious, but she learned to prioritize. Two brothers down, two more to go, and I can't wait to read Carson's and Brett's stories next! Five stars for Dylan. ♥

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

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

Image
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
