The Wrong Blaze by Meagan Brandy

If you ever wonder if a Meagan Brandy book is for you just read one her prologues and your decision will be made. She is a wizard with her words and will slay right through your soul with an all-consuming  love that will pour off her characters. That feeling that her words give you will leave you wanting more and flipping back through the pages just to find your favorite parts. Don't even get me started on her men because DAMN I can't get enough.

I fell in love with Alec within seconds. The protective ones alway get me and Ms. Brandy can write a protective over the top man like no other.  There is this connection between the two characters that just screem from the page even when they are not together. I can't describe it...its like this build up you have been waiting for and when it happens you can breathe a little easier knowing that everything is right in the romance reading world. I fell in love with her writing from the get-go and she was quickly added to my stalker list.

Richer Than Sin by Meaghan March

I usually love me some Meghan March. Her writing when paired with the characters she writes usually ends up exploding on the pages. As much as I want to sit here and type that I loved this one just as much...I cant. I struggled through this one trying to find the connection between Lincoln and Whitney. I think I almost wanted more from the past version. I wanted to get that feeling that there was nothing stronger than their love,  but I felt like it was just a repeat of what I was already reading.

With that said there were moments in this book that I did enjoy. I loved the back characters. I felt their fire and love of their family. Cricket seemed so carefree and fun and balls to the wall kinda girl we all love to read about. I also loved the grandfathers role in this book. I loved how Lincoln tried to make everything right, but in the end I just felt like I was continually wanting more. Ms. March will continue to be one of favorite authors though and I cant wait to see if the next book gives me more of that emotional connection.

Someone Else's Ocean

I usually go into a Kate Stewart book with my balls tucked because I know somewhere hiding in her book is a chapter that will gut me. She has the capability to slay with her words and she chooses just the right moment to break you during her book. Although I had a little difficulty connecting with Ian and Kota I found myself enjoying the atmosphere that the book created. 

 Both were running from issues and looking for some piece, but for me I wanted to feel that soul connection I usually feel with Ms. Stewart's books. Ian was adorable and confusing at the same time. He seemed to run a lot, but at times had a very dominate personality. I like Kota and her free personality. I was jealous how she was letting it go and finding her own inner peace thousands of miles away from everything she knew.

Pretty Venom by Ella Fields

There is just something about Ella Fields words that make you get lost in a book. It at times has you so lost in the story that you feel like you are there watching everything fall apart. Trust me when I say fall apart that is exactly what I mean. She is the queen at making everything unravel just to put it back together again.

I really enjoyed the first part of this book. The build up of upcoming events had me not so patiently waiting to see what would happen. The problem is the second half of the book seemed to get a little tit for tat. I get the lash out and I get the wanting to have your revenge it just seemed to take away from both of them. Renee was so strong until it almost seem like she got lost in her groveling and Callum went off the deep end. In the end it all came back together and I got my happily ever after

The Peer And The Puppet by B.B Reid

Sometimes your soul finds a book and its just the perfect fit. From the first chapter I just knew that I was about to read something special and unforgettable. Trust me when I say this book is that book you will still be talking about 6 months down the road. I'm not some long time fan of B.B Reid. To be honest this is my first book by her. With that said this book went from just a book I was reading to THE book of 2018. Guarantee that I will be a stalker from here on out.

I read so many books that most of the time the female blends into the story and just exists, but Four was so transparent, mysterious and brazenly enchanting that I was a fan from the first time she opened her mouth.She was written to perfection, quickly becoming the key component to a story that will have you shouting 5 stars all the way.

Ever...words cant express my love for him. He was this asshole you wanted to hate and every time he opened his mouth you wanted to knee him in the balls, but he had this charisma that just stole the whole story. He was Alpha with a twist of sweetness that once you peeled back the layers he became everything you would ever want in your next book boyfriend.

Because You're Mine by Claire Contreras

I went into this book because of the title I'm not even going to lie. What I didn't know was this book would instantly top my 2018 top reads of the year. Ms. Contreras made this book come alive with a story that captivated you within the first few pages. Her writing took you on an adventure with the story, but her characters made you want to breathe the story in and never look back.

Catalina and Lorenzo want more. They want more of life, but neither knows how to ask for it. Catalina is a smart ass who refuses to do what everyone thinks she should. I loved how sassy she was and that she was not afraid to take the dangerous men in her life down a knotch.

It's not often you a read a book that draws you in so far you feel like you are part of the book. I found myself rooting Cat and Loren with every word I read. There is something about a jealous guy who wants his girl even when he shouldn't that just draws me in. 

I can tell you that Ms. Contreras is a new author to me, but in the next month or so you can guarantee that every book she has ever written will be devoured by me. She is a wizard with words and I can't wait to read them.

That Guy by Kim Jones

This is my first Kim Jones book and let me tell you it will not be my last. This book will be in my top 2018 books when I do my favorites of the year. People are so good about remembering birth years and anniversaries, but me...I will remember 2018 as the year I was introduced to Kim Jones.  It just has that IT factor. Its hilarious, hot and deviously plotted out that you cant help fall in love with both characters. 

Sometimes characters just click and everything from the beginning of the book just falls into place. Jake and Penelope's connection just rolls off the pages. It slaps you in the face and you have no other choice than to want to cheer on these two all the while you are laughing your ass off because let me tell you Penelope is every girl we have ever read about or hell dreamed to be.

It's not often I read an author and then go stalk them on Amazon so I can buy up every other book they have out, but Kim Jones managed to do just that. The humor and words and just the story so different, but yet endearing and page turning it turned into an addiction I couldn't put down.
