Making Over Maya

Hot Tide Book 2

This Cinderella isn't supposed to end up with the Wolfe.

She’ll teach him all there is to know about the highly competitive side of surf sponsorship. And in return, Dominic will turn the beautiful surf-klutz into a man-magnet. Dream deal, right?

Only the lessons start getting hotter than the beach mid-summer and Dominic realizes he wants more. Much more. But the deal was their relationship wouldn’t cross the line between business and pleasure…

Goodreads * Amazon

It's no wonder that Michele's first romance has a little sparkle of the stage tucked into its pages as she was a performer long before she got adicted to the page. Being a writer was not what she was supposed to be when she 'grew up' but then neither was a dancer. Her poor parents. They thought that when she toddled off to law school they'd bred a responsible, useful adult and instead they got a performer and word junkie. 

She now writes full time in a studio surrounded by the whisper of wind in the trees and only intermittent interruptions from her young son, husband and hunger pangs. She's based in New Zealand (land of beaches and hobbits) loves chocolate, yoga, sunshine, her boys and happy endings.

EXCERPT:

He went to the kitchen and washed out their wine glasses, placing them in the drying rack. He grabbed two large Mason jars and filled them with water, then headed back to the great room. “Mind if I light your fire?” Egan asked.
Celeste burst out laughing. He hadn’t realized what was so funny until she said, “I bet you say that to all the girls!”
Egan grinned, his mouth turning up at one side. “I don’t usually ask . . . it just happens naturally.”
Celeste rolled her eyes, a smile still lighting them from within. Damn. If Egan could only make her smile like that all the time.
He loved the serious side of Celeste, but he loved her funny, lighter side even more. He’d never met anyone he could laugh with and cry in front of whom he also wanted to grab by the waist and dip into a serious kiss. God, that mouth. He would be dreaming about it tonight. He could feel himself staring, so he shook his head to clear it. He flipped on the switch for the gas fireplace, watching it spring to life. He settled back down on the couch next to Celeste. This time, he sat a little closer. He turned toward her, adjusting his leg, and brushed hers in the process. He felt the electricity shoot through his gut and straight into his heart. He wanted to hug her, protect her, and slide inside of her, all at the same time.
“What?” Celeste asked, using a small hand to gently turn his face toward hers. “You have such an intense look on your face right now. I don’t know what you’re thinking.”
“But you know what I’m feeling, don’t you?” Egan couldn’t stop himself if he’d wanted. He leaned his head to the side and melted his cheek into the softness of her hand. It felt so right there, cradling his strong jawline. He knew his five o’clock shadow would feel scratchy against the incredible smoothness of her skin. He couldn’t help but wonder how that hand would feel tracing down his chest and over his abs. How it would feel to have it smooth over the muscles in his thighs. His groin tightened at the thought of her fingers trailing over him, touching him, taking him. He leaned his head back against the couch and groaned.
“Perhaps this isn’t the best idea, Celeste,” he whispered.
“It’s definitely not a good idea, Egan.” But instead of pulling back, she leaned further into him, settling into the crook of his shoulder as she rested her head against his chest. “You smell so good. What are you wearing?”
Egan wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer. “Um, soap?”
Celeste took in a deep breath again. “That cannot be just soap.”
“Soap and the natural scent God gave me.”
“Mmm,” she replied. “Lucky you.”
“Well, I don’t exactly sit around smelling myself, Celeste.”
“Yeah, that would be awkward.” She smiled when she looked at him, sitting up a little straighter on her feet, which she had tucked beneath her.
Her eyes were dark, but more. Flecks of amber kissed the brown that swirled around in her irises. He could lose himself in those eyes. Hell, I’m lost already. Who am I kidding?
She leaned forward, her eyes never leaving his. They were inches apart, and Egan had to clutch his fingers in a fist to stop himself from devouring her.
“Celeste,” he moaned, “if you start this, I might not be able to stop.”
“If I start this, I wouldn’t want you to stop,” she whispered.

Their Bride by Stasia Black & A.S. Green

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

I have to say I am getting into these marriage lottery books. In these books the world has essentially ended making survival the name of the game as females are few and far between. In Jacob's Well to fix that they do a marriage lottery where five guys are picked to be with one bride. Vanessa thinks this is a perfect idea to keep her safe from hunters that she has been fleeing from for years. Things would have been great but the lottery box comes up missing and the men chosen are not happy about the results. There is a rocky start to all this but over some time it really starts to come together with quite a few twists I did not see coming (like the bomb drop towards the end). If you like end of the world RH novels then you should try these. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

A Nature of Conflict by Kristen Banet

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

Just when I think these book cannot get any better she writes another one and totally proves me wrong!! Sawyer is used to the team by this point though those in charge are still trying to mess with them all trying to tear them apart. This time they focus on Quinn and Sawyer though I do believe they totally get more then they were expecting as these two truly go above and beyond. In depth characters we can all love and enough suspense to really keep the reader hooked from page one until the end. This series totally blows my mind with each new installment. If you have not started then yet then you really have to fix that!! I completely loved it and will be waiting impatiently for the next one so I give it 5/5 stars.

While trapped her guys and friends are trying their best to rescue her though they get lots of surprises along the way. If you have been keeping up with this series then you really have to read this one as it answers quite a few of our long term questions. If you have not read the books yet why not? They are totally awesome!! I really enjoyed it so I give it 4/5 stars and will be eagerly looking forward to the net installment.

This is a great start to this new series that has some incredible world building and a stroy line I could have never thought of. If you are looking for a good mermaid book then look no further. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

*I received a free copy of this book which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.

I have to call this a slow build MC romance novel as it took me a little bit to get into it but once it got good I was enjoying the characters. Vegas is a kick butt main female lead and she kept blowing my mind with her in depth plans. Then we get Blade the alpha pres of the local chapter with his dominant ways. Man do the sparks got when you put them together. The in depth plot was rather fascinating as it all played out. Overall a decent start to this series that I recommend to fans of the genre. I really liked it so I give it 4/5 stars.

The Determined You

Only You Book 2

Heroes paint the big screen, but a violent opponent interferes with true love, driving one actor to prove he's more than a script. 

Easy-going Lil Reed is like every red-blooded female would be: excited to meet her first Hollywood A-lister. After all, Grey Richards is the talk of the town. And she's the lucky one; his brother is marrying into her family. But Lil quickly learns an age-old lesson: be careful what you wish for. Grey is nothing like the charismatic and charming characters he portrays. This heartthrob is surly, arrogant, and completely closed off.

With no patience for gossip-reading fan girls, Grey is far from interested in the youngest Reed sister. And a guy like Grey would never date outside the elite Hollywood circles. That would be career suicide. 

However, when there's a threat against the Reed sisters, Grey feels compelled to protect the spunky and adorable woman who somehow wiggled her way into his heart. With danger closing in, Grey must save the sisters and prove to Lil that there's more behind the glamour and glitz. But will she ignore the fake tabloids for a chance at real love?
