Rush by Stevie Cole

When I read the first book Ms. Cole wrote I thought who the hell thinks like this. Who the hell has this kind of brilliance in their head? Then I had a few conversations with her and realized she does- that’s who. She walks her own path when writing, but the one thing that is for sure, when you finish- you will be left in awe at the crazy ride she just took you on. I have loved being on this journey as Stevie finds her mojo and who she is. She is passionate and it comes through in her characters. You will love them, hate them, root them on and journey along as they find themselves.

If you were like me you gathered that Jules was a bitch in book one. Damn did I have it wrong? What she is- is a person who has wanted something for 6 years she couldn’t have- or so she thought. Breaking the rules is one thing Rush is good at. He is the untouchable bad boy who just happens to have an eye for the forbidden. The forbidden could cost them both. Drowning while trying to sort yourself and your fame may cost you everything. 

Rush had me intrigued, but let me just tell you about 45% into this book I couldn’t put the damn book down. I turned into that girl that said- just one more page to see what happens. When he flipped into the role of you are going to be mine and that was it- I was like hello RUSH where the hell do I get my Rush fan club shirt. Stevie makes you fall for these men no matter what issues they have. They could have a fetish with wearing girls’ underwear and by the end of the book you will want your man to wear a pink thong. 

Something Reckless by Lexi Ryan

Let me start by saying if Sam wanted to tie me up he wouldn’t have to beg because I would probably run to the bed and tie myself up just to save some time. Ms. Ryan won me over with Sam and Liz. I loved the connection, the fight and the attitude that was served up by both of them. I always love when I’m so invested in a book that when their heart hurts so the hell does mine. The push the pull, the love and hate and the fight for something that could be great- just some of the things the author lets you feel on the journey to have something everlasting.

Sam has lived under the watchful eye of not only his family, but the public. When his privacy is threatened due to a mistake it will change not only his life, but also hurt the one person who has always loved him. Secrets, lies and unspoken conversations could end the one thing he ever hoped for- something more- something forever. 

This was my first book by this author and I can say it will not be my last. I really enjoyed the writing style and the flow of the book. I found myself not wanting to put it down. It was like a political drama meets romance and I loved every second of it.
