Accidentally on Purpose

by L.D. Davis

I loved this book like crazy! It was one of those reads that took you through the ringer emotionally and I hated, loved, cried with, was angry at every character in this book. FABULOUS read! Emmy is a single gal living in her parent's house, not living up to their expectations of being successful and married like the rest of her siblings. Her boss Kyle is a huge asshole and the two of them hate each other.....until they don't. Their tumultuous relationship gets in the way of Emmy's possible future and happily ever after with Luke, who also works in the building where Emmy and Kyle do- cozy, right? I will not say anymore, as to not give away too much, but needless to say, this book is a MUST read! <3 Kellie

CHOCOLATE LOVERS series

By Tara Sivec

In honor of the one year anniversary of the publication of Tara Sivec's first novel, Seduction and Snacks, it is time to update the blog to include her works.  Honestly, I kind of put it off, because once I start thinking about this series, I spend so much time literally laughing out loud that I can't breathe!!!  I mean, seriously, who can read:   “I had been out of the game for too long. I couldn’t even get drunk and flirt anymore. I could however, get drunk and look like a stroke victim.”  and NOT pee a little. 

The first title, Seduction & Snacks, is the funniest of the group.  Claire decides to get rid of her virginity one drunken night.  She ends up getting pregnant but never learning the guy's name.  S&S finds her 5 years later when she has the FUNNIEST kid EVER and also meets up again with Baby Daddy.  My husband actually complained when I read in bed, because I shook the mattress with all my laughing.  Tara Sivec wrote characters that we all wish we lived next door to.  I honestly LOVE Claire, Liz, Jenny, Carter, Jim and Drew. Drew's tshirts alone need their own book!  

You will see how Claire and Liz start their businesses......Seduction and Snacks.  You will love how all the characters love each other.  You will want to take them into your hearts! 

CONGRATULATIONS, Tara Sivec!  You have definitely gifted us with characters that will stay with us for a long time!  ***ANN***

ONE NIGHT WITH SOLE REGRET series

By Olivia Cunning

There is simply no one who I trust with my rock stars more than Olivia Cunning.  She is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! She writes about hard edged rock GODS who have strong women who complete them.  I picked up an anthology of these novellas to help bide my time until Wicked Beats (see Sinners On Tour review) comes out this August.  Admittedly, they are not My Sinners, but they are still a HOT way to spend a few days.  I mean what would your Sole Regret be........

Share Me is the prequel to the series.  Honestly, I didn't care much for it.  Sorry, but I have to say it.  BUT, it was only 99 cents AND I see now that reading it will help me understand later developments.  It is JUST sex (no real relationship stuff), but it does give background to our male characters. 

I actually read Try Me first (not realizing there is a prequel), and it was my favorite of all of them. Gabe is a sexy drummer with some interesting skills in the sex toy area........Do I REALLY need to say more?

Tempt Me is another sweet read.  I see a LOT of possibilities where this couple is concerned.  Madison is going to take just one more night with her hot rocker, Adam, before she breaks it off........

Tempt Me actually is the best story of them all. I think it shows more depth to characters as well as some STEAMY, SWEATY sex......

Touch Me starts off at a sex club...............Owen wants a sure thing.  Caitlyn is looking to have an adventure to get her over her divorce.  The found each other.  I mean, who wouldn't want to spend one night with a rocker to live out every sexual fantasy? Sign me up!

Goodreads says that expected release date for Tie Me is June 14, 2013. THAT is one I am looking forward to....... 

I recommend these titles, but know that they are extremely sexual and not just in a simple boy + girl way.  They are hot as hell though!  Just leave your inhibitions at home!! :)  ***ANN***

MUSIC OF THE HEART

By Katie Ashley 

I cannot express how much I enjoyed this title!  I actually overheard a couple of my best book buddies discussing it at our book club meeting (yes, overheard because I am ALWAYS talking and not listening LOL).  I thought it sounded fun but never got the title.  When I did manage to connect all the dots, I read it in one sitting and fell totally in LOVE with Katie Ashley.  

Abby is joining up with her brothers' Christian rock band to tour over the summer.  Oops! She gets on the wrong bus and ends up with Runaway Train, a HOT hard-rocking group of yummy manliness! THAT is a mistake I would like to make! 

Abby meets Jake, lead singer for RT, and sparks fly!  I loved the characters in this book.  Jake's mom is the sweetest.  I cried real tears and laughed belly laughs.  Plus, there was some scenes of SMOKIN' HOTNESS!!! This little book had it ALL! Do not hesitate.......go 1-click it NOW! You can thank me later......***Ann***

ROCK THE HEART

ROCK THE BAND

ROCK MY BED

By Michelle Valentine

In honor of Rockstar weekend, let's get acquainted with one of my favorites, Riff, from Michelle Valentine's series.  He is my Oreo loving rocker! 

Rock the Heart introduces us to Lane and Noel, high school sweethearts who were torn apart by immaturity and misunderstanding.  Lane is now working for a marketing company in NYC.  Noel is a the sexy front man for the rock group, Black Falcons.  To keep her job, Lane has to win over Noel.  She has to deal with her past, a controlling and deceptive boss and her feelings for the only man she has ever loved.  

It is a sweet story and a quick, easy read. I enjoyed it.  It was a nice break from some of the books which are just constant sex.  

Rock the Band was a novella mainly concentrating on the progression of relationship between Lane and Noel.  Honestly, you could NOT read this and never know it, but it was still cute.  More heat in this one, as they spend less time dancing around old issues.  I read this when is all I really wanted to do was curl up with my Riff.........

Ohhhhhhh, Riff, what can I really say? That he can eat Oreos in my bed ANYTIME HE WANTS! When we first meet Riff in Rock the Heart, he is a bit offensive, but we have learned why now. He meets Aubrey, Lane's best friend, and it sizzles!  Riff is my reason for loving the first two books in this still growing series.  I am still hoping to get a Golden Ticket.........

All in all, I definitely recommend these rockers.  Noel is kind of wimpy for me, but Riff is anything but! YUMMMMM   ***Ann***

SINNERS ON TOUR series

By Olivia Cunning 

MY Sinners have a special place in my heart. They are my first selection I made all by myself without any recommendation or ever hearing about them from anyone......FATE, I tell ya. This series follows the HOT adventures of a rock band, Sinners.  

We start off in Backstage Pass with Bryan, lead guitar.  I swear to God, I now get a bit excited every time I see a guitarist's fingers.  I have to admit, Olivia, I was a bit like "WTF????" when I read the female's name, MRYNA.  I figured she was like 70 or something, but I was wrong.  Myrna is a college professor on human sexuality who decides to travel with the band and do research on sexual habits of groupies. Did I mention, these books are HOT? 

I like how these books are self contained BUT we still get to see progress of our favorites from prior titles. 

Rock Hard (LOVE that title hehehehe) picks up with Sed and Jessica, lovers who were torn apart by misunderstanding and immaturity but who were destined to be together........with some FLAMING HOT lovin' in Vegas. 

Hot Ticket features sweet Jace and Aggie......they are into.....ummmm a bit of bondage. Aggie even makes hand-stitched leather corsets that would be a fun thing to own..........On a serious note, I actually shed a couple tears in this one.  Very emotional. Not JUST total hotness.  

THIS is where it all gets WEIRD......I think it was an error somewhere along the line.  Books were published out of order.  The fourth actually isn't released until August (already pre-ordered TYVM).  Wicked Beats is sure to be just as amazing with our drummer, Eric. 

The fifth book, Double Time, is with the most sexually adventurous member of the group, Trey.  I love Trey, but ooooohhhh doggie, he has some issues!  Be prepared for some WILD times that are definitely not normal boy meets girl stuff.  

Also, throughout this series, we also meet Trey's brother, Dare, and his band, Exodus End.  Now THAT is going to be an adventure........Keep them coming, Olivia Cunning!  We CANNOT wait!!!!!! **Ann**

 WITH ME series

By Kristen Proby 

This is a series that keeps me on the edge of my seat begging for more! It was suggested to me at my book club.  I went home and purchased Come Away With Me that night, not really expecting too much, as I can be pretty picky.  I read it that night!  Luke is such a sweet hero, and Natalie is just lovely.  These books are very passionate!  I have been known to recommend them to total strangers in grocery store or a bar.  But, I learned quickly not to suggest them to just anyone.  I had one friend who was like, "Seriously, Ann, can we go back to PG13 for a while."  Well, of course, I totally lost respect for her (JOKING......kinda) and gave her Harry Freakin' Potter. She is the only person EVER to not like these after giving them a try. They are short enough and SMOKIN' HOT enough to be quick fun reads for people who work full time or just don't have a whole day or two to devote to a read. 

I also appreciate the fact that these come tied up in a nice little bow with a happily ever after, but we still get to drop in for a glass of wine and visit with them through the other titles.  Fight With Me, for example, picks up with Natalie's roommate.  

Play With Me was my FAV until Rock With Me came out.......so it seems like Ms. Proby is just getting warmed up.  She has Safe With Me coming out this summer!  THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE!   **ANN**
