I will add more as I goLove Me for Me by Lauren Hawkeye - This was an absolutely wonderful story. It is the story of Serena King and Alex Blackthorne. They met oustide of their American Lit class and immediately felt a connection.After getting to know each other they realised that they both had secrets from their pasts which shaped who the are now.Alex knew there was something in Serena's past which caused her to be very skittish around people, but he took his time to put her at ease enough to start building on their initial connection.Their love unfolds as each secret is revealed.This was my first Lauren Hawkeye novel but I doubt it will be my last.House Rules by Liz Crowe - This story stars off with Jack Gordon Jr finding his mother on the kitchen floor, laying in her own blood filled vomit.This introduces us to Jack's upbringing which shapes who he is in the future, a guy looking for a stable home life.There is a big jump from the last chapter where Jack meets Sara, to the Epilogue where they are getting married, but don't worry, there are three more stories sold separately which fill this blank spot.Great readingNo more wasted time by Beverly Preston - This was an absolutely wonderfully moving story.We meet 44 year old Tess Matthews as she is seeing her two daughters off on their holiday to Europe. After seeing them off she catches her own plane to Bora Bora.Next we meet 49 year old Tom Clemmins we he buys his way onto Tess's private tour in Bora Bora.This is the start of a very intense but moving romance.It was wonderful to read of an older couple and they way that an older family reacts to a new addition.It was my first book by this author but it won't be my last.Moving forward by Erika Ashby - This was a great read. We meet Jesika, a year after the death of her husband. She is finally coming back to the land of the living when she meets Derek at careers day at her son's school.The connection between Jesika and Derek almost seems fated.Their journey moving forward is touching.I can't wait to read Mallory and Seth's story.The Devils Tattoo by Nicole R Taylor - It was great reading a book based in my home country, I could actually picture the places and what they were like.This story was a really good read. The main characters are Zoe and Will. Zoe suffered in her past relationship and has closed herself off from people except for Dee.Will had a bad experience in his last relationship which has made him wary.Their relationship has it's ups and downs but it was wonderful to see them strengthening as time went.Sons of Mayhem b Nikki Pink - This is a book about the outlaw motorcycle gang, Sons of Mayhem's VP and a college student.Nicole is a college student who has always been good and feels like she needs a change. She catches her room mate, Lucy, coming home on the back of a motorcycle. Lucy convinces Nicole to come to the next party at the clubhouse.She meets Jase who is one of the VP's for the Sons of Mayhem MC club.This meeting is the start of a whole new life for Nicole.How he really feels by Lisa Suzanne - In this story we meet Julianne and Nick.It was instant attraction for Julianne. She has a major crush on Nick, her new boss. Come New Years Eve she makes a resolution that she is going t be more proactive in her feelings.Little does she know that Nick had already noticed her.Their path together is not a smooth one. It is full of ups and downs and heartache.I really enjoyed this book.Inoperative: Cyborg One by Charity Parkerson - This was a short story about M.I.L.E.S and Alexia.M.I.L.E.S is a cyborg who is given to Alexia to protect her.I don't normally read these types of books but I must say this story intrigued me from the very start. I may have to have a look at more in this series.Finding Home by Lacey Wolfe - This is a beautiful story of Julie who finds herself pregnant and alone after her boyfriend gives her an ultimatum.Julie heads home to her mother's house and gets the shock of her life when she finds a half dressed man, Mark, in the kitchen cooking.So starts a gorgeous story.This is the first story that I have read in the Brookfield series but I think it won't be my last.Skylar Tower by Khelsey Jackson - This story is about Evangaline Skylar, a strong, independent woman and the rich CEO of Sky Tech.Evangaline meets Angelo when he comes to her offices hoping to get an interview with the gorgeous female CEO. There was an instant attraction between the Italian reporter and Evangaline which confused her as she had always guarded her heart. She didn't allow anyone apart from her bodyguard/driver Axel, to get close to her.This is the start of a bit of a love triangle which ends up with more than one person hurt.Great read.Summer's Journey by Summer Daniels - This series is about Summer's sexual exploration after her divorce. She meets Mark and they start a journey of sexual exploration, alphabetically, meaning each time they meet they try something sexually that starts with a letter from the alphabet.I love Summer. Her personality and interactions with Mark had me almost laughing out loud whilst reading.This finishes at C but I am so hoping it continues as I want to hear so much more.Loved this and need more.
