Conklin's Foundation Review

Conklin’s Foundations (book 2) By Brooke Page     

Conklin’s Foundations is the second book in the Conklin Trilogy… and I think Tyler Conklin just found a permanent place in my heart. It picks up after Becca gives all the “nasties” in her life a piece of her mind and is utterly disappointed in the people she thought loved her. Don’t worry, she doesn’t get to wallow in self pity to long…Tyler comes to her rescue, queue “knight on white horse fantasy” **sigh**.
 After some amazing make-up sex and beautiful jewelry, things finally start to settle down as Tyler and Becca as they take their relationship to the next level. This doesn’t last long for them, especially when Tyler’s “old” lover and nanny, Margo, (ewww) decides to show up and disrupt their lives. As Becca tries to handle the situation, her insecurities almost get the best of her. Tyler tries to show her she is the only woman for him, but sometimes woman can be doubtful, especially when there is another woman in the mix…  
There is love, comedy, betrayal, shockers, and some super sexy Tyler/Becca scenes that are hot hot hot! If you loved Conklin’s Blueprints and can’t wait to find out what happens to Becca and Tyler… you need to read Foundations – Brooke brings it all to the table in this romantic trilogy.

**Excerpt**
Becca:  I quickly grabbed my drink and headed into the dining room, Tyler hot on my tail. He smacked my ass just as I was going to sit down, Jamie and Nathan got the full glimpse as I yelped. “Tyler!” I whinned, rubbing my ass then taking a seat. He just grinned as he sat down wiggling his eyebrows. “Holy shit, how drunk are you?” Nathan asked Tyler. Tyler shook his head at Nathan as though he was crazy then picked up his cards. “I thought you said he was a gentle lover?” Jamie snickered then covered her mouth the second she realized what she had said. My face went red with embarrassment as Nathan let out a howl. “Tyler, you’ve really gone soft,” Nathan mocked…

Beautifully Awake by Riley MacKenzie Review

Beautifully Awake – By Riley 

Mackenzie


Review By Tonya Nichols
If you are a fan of Grey’s Anatomy or ER, you will love Beautifully Awake just like I did. Hot, arrogant neurosurgeon… OMG! Chase Colton is one hot piece of arse I would consider banging my head up against a wall for. I fell in love with this broody, possessive, sensitive, funny doctor. 
 Lili Porter is a case worker with a rough past that is just trying to get through life day by day… sleep-running. Chase Colton is a hot shot neurosurgeon with his own dark past, whose cases Lili has just been assigned to. Chase is all business in the office, except for the mixed signals he sends Lili.  One minute he is Dr. Compassionate and the next he is back to Dr. Intensity, leaving Lili hot, bothered, and confused. After a hot make out session and some jealous encounters, Chase and Lili finally try to make a relationship work.
Can they beat their own demons and overcome the running they’ve become so accustomed to, and become what each other needs? This is a beautiful story of love, loss, tragedy, friendship, and human compassion. Don’t worry you will get some definite steamy sexiness and laugh out loud moment as well…
Excerpt**** This is an excerpt from Sierra, Lili’s foul mouthed pregnant best friend, who toasts at dinner with Chase and Lili after her labor scare – (talking to Chase….)
“Turns out you and my cervix have something in common, or so I’ve heard.” Sierra clinked our glasses. “To long and firm!” --- I freakin loved Sierra!

****THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS****


Ok, I have a weakness for rock stars and I have to say Jack Lair delivered!

The instant sexual tension is evident between them, but due to the fact that Leila actually gets to join the band they both fight the attraction. They both know that if things go bad for their relationship that only one of them is out of a job. 
The sexual tension grows as they start to rehearse for Devil's Lair upcoming tour. They become fast friends and Jack feels the need to look out for Leila. 
Leila is already in a band with her best friend Evan and ex-boyfriend Matt and other friends but they are all supportive when she joins Devil's Lair. 
Through the weeks leading up to the tour the tension grows and they both cave in and share a kiss which leads to more but it's more than just sex for them both.  Things start going well, the rest of Devil's Lair accept their relationship but as always their is always heartbreak around the corner. A past bed-buddy turns up pregnant claiming it's Jack's. Also she has information about a very angry past band member....things will surely heat up in the next book. Loved it! <3 Amy

)

Blurb:
Maxwell Knight was dangerously good-looking, seductively charming, and definitely trouble.

He was everything Jeanella Mefferd did NOT need now.
Fresh out of college, life was predictable and comfortable for Jeanella. She had the strength 

of her friends, the security of her job, and she was dating a reliable man; it was all smooth

sailing. That was until one night, when she met someone who made her feel things she’d

never felt before—dangerous, heart pounding, breathless heat.
Never imagining she would see him again, Jeanella has no idea what to do when fate steps in

and thrusts Maxwell Knight into her life, just as things were beginning to change around her. 

When she lands her dream job and travels to New York for Fashion Week, can she focus on 

her career instead of on Maxwell?

Will she ignore all the danger signs and jump straight into his arms; or would she miss out on

the chance of finding something great?


TEASER:
           When he probed with more questions about what I looked for in query letters, I told him I liked romance novels and I basically looked for potential book boyfriends.
        “Book boyfriends?” He chuckled out loud. As I watched, his chest moved to the rhythm of his laugh. “Really?” He took his last bite and chugged his coffee.
        “Yes…really.” I had already finished my plate since I was too nervous to talk.
        “Is that like for people who can’t get one in real life?” He was totally amused by this notion.
        “No…silly,” I giggled. “Readers read books to help them escape from the daily routine of life. Many of these romance books have a swoon-worthy, gorgeous guy with really nice abs and a six pack, who can deliver wild, hot sex.” Just the thought alone made me turn red and I froze when he gave me a heated look. Then, his eyes concentrated on my lips, shifted to my breasts, then back up to my eyes when I said ‘wild, hot sex.’ I just described him and what he could potentially do.
Gravitating toward me, his eyes locked lustfully on mine. His lips were just inches away as they parted to speak and I didn’t know how he got so close to me. “I would like to be your book boyfriend,” he said with the hottest sound that could sing out of his lustrous, lick-able mouth. The puff of his breath on my lips sizzled way down to my sex. He reached out to my face, his thumb sensually sliding, feather light to touch my bottom lip with one long, slow stroke. As I watched his tongue glide over his bottom lip at the same time, I quivered beyond control.
        Completely dumbfounded, I sat there staring at him and in my mind, I had already taken off my clothes for him. Blinking because that was all I could do, I wanted to say yes, but my pride and my head knew better and stopped me.
Suddenly, he broke his gaze and it felt like he had just dumped ice water over my head. “Is that what a book boyfriend would say and do?” he chuckled as he picked up our plates and took them to the kitchen.
What just happened? I was almost certain my face was deep red, because I felt it down to my toes.

Flame by Brooke Cumberland Review- Feb 10



Sarah's Review

**5 star review**

I was lucky enough to read this story as it was written and I loved every single part of it!! 

After not actually getting around to reading the first two books I was worried that I wouldn't understand what was going on, or who everyone was, but I was wrong, it was written so perfectly that it can be read as a standalone with no confusion at all! 

It's hot, steamy, angsty, heart wrenching and all consuming. 
Carissa has an attitude that I love in a lead female character, her 'couldn't care less' perspective on things was refreshing and really made her likeable. She has a shitty childhood to put behind her and a string of one night stands under her belt, which is her preference, she doesn't want to settle down. Ever. That is until Drew walks into her life with his sweet talk, hot looks, alpha male attitude and irresistible British accent! He wants to make Carissa his, and he isn't one to give up, luckily! 

Their relationship progresses, with ups and down that make you aww in one chapter, and want to scream in the next! I recommend this book, and highly recommend that your phone or kindle is secured in bubble wrap when you hit certain parts, yes you will want to hunt Brooke down and shake her for putting you through the bloody mill, I know I did!
