She's My Knight #1

Genre : Manga, Romance, Contemporary, Shojo, Comedy, Humor, 

Haruma Ichinose, 17, has been popular since he was born. So popular, in fact, that he figured no one could even come close...until he met Yuki Mogami. She's tall, cool, collected, and totally makes him crazy. He may just be in love...but can he deal with falling for someone even more dashing than himself?

Ichinose is popular and good looking and he knows it. Mogami is the princely type and it seems Ichinose is  falling for her but isn't sure how to let her know his feelings.

If you are looking for light and fluffy reads then you're going to want to check this one out. This was so funny and corny and I really enjoyed this. It even made fun of itself with the popular romance tropes out there. Like I couldn't couldn't help but laugh to myself a couple of times while reading this. really liked seeing the little moments between the two, seeing how they really felt and was trying to hide it. It was entertaining how self conscious he was liking a girl who was taller then him and seeing the roles kinda reversing between the two where Ichinose kept landing in the role of being more feminine and Mogami swooping in to help. Overall I really enjoyed this cutesy book and look forward to seeing more in the future.

Hadley Donavan can’t believe she has to go home to Nebraska for her sister’s wedding. She’s gonna need a wingman and a whole lot of vodka for this level of family interaction. At least her bestie agreed he’d man up and help. But then instead of her best friend, his evil twin strolls out of the airport.

If you looked up doesn’t-deserve-to-be-that-confident, way-too-hot-for-his-own-good billionaire in the dictionary, you’d find a picture of Will Holt. He’s awful. Horrible. The worst―even if his butt looks phenomenal in those jeans.

Ten times worse? Hadley’s buffer was supposed to be there to keep her away from the million and one family events. But Satan’s spawn just grins and signs them up for every. Single. Thing.

Fine. “Cutthroat” Scrabble? She’s in. She can’t wait to take this guy down a notch. But somewhere between Pictionary and the teasing glint in his eyes, their bickering starts to feel like more than just a game…

Hadley needs her best friend as her wing man to a family wedding but for some reason his twin brother that she deems evil shows up instead. As if this family occasion wasn't already going to be a stress now shes got to deal with him. After what he's been though Will is convinced that his brothers "Best Friend" Hadley is indeed after his money and needs to figure out a way to break things off and get rid of her. First step is to take his brothers place and keep them separated learn a bit about her and figure out how best to break things off between the two.

I love a good enemies to lover kinda book and this book was just perfect for me. I loved seeing the push and pull between the two. You can see Hadley was a genuine friend to Wills brother but he was just so convinced that she was a gold digger which was unfortunate. Then theres the whole romance that was blooming between the two you just can't help but root for them because its clear they both are really good people but Will has been left jaded from his past that he can't help but see the worst in others. It was nice seeing him soften towards her family and Hadley gave as much as she got with a bit of mischief. Things are not going to be easy for the two but it was just fun to watch how things turn out in this book.

Hannah Daniels reads steamy romance novels to forget her last trip on the love roller coaster shredded her heart and tossed it like confetti. Her instincts about men stink, but at work they’re on point. Only her busy schedule means she reads whenever she can make time. Like at the laundromat while sitting on top of a washing machine. Don’t judge.

Firefighter Mason McNally has searched his whole life for a woman who stirs his soul. When he finds her, she’s nose-deep in a racy paperback atop a vibrating washer. Herbeauty, boldness, and raw sensuality ignite his interest. But there’s a problem. He’s forgotten he’s wearing a wedding ring.

No amount of hasty explanations that it’s for his brother’s psychology experiment convinces her to give him a chance. But he’s rushed into fiery situations before, and this woman is totally worth the risk. He’ll just have to prove to her that first impressions can be wrong and their spark of attraction is oh so right.

I didn't realize that this book was going to be around the holidays so I decided to pick this book out but if you like reading books based around the holidays like myself you'll want to pick up this book down and save it for the ending of the year. Other then that I thought that this book was pretty good. I enjoyed the story and the connection between the two main characters and if your into that sorta thing there are plenty of steamy moments. I loved that there was that wierd element of wondering about a possible stalker that's been sending some photos to Hannah. If you are looking out for good contemporary filled with drama and romance you'll enjoy this book as much as I did.

A TAIL AS OLD AS TIME

Addison Turner has scripted a perfect future for herself, complete with a fairytale ending. She will become the name in doggie fashion design and live happily ever after with the husband of her dreams—and her dachshund, Princess, by her side. Just when her plan is on track and she’s gaining recognition at the local dog show, Addison is hit with some Oscar-worthy drama. A group of prize-winning show dogs are stolen from under her nose, and she’s stuck asking for help from Felix Vaughn, an infuriatingly hot bartender who is the exact opposite of Prince Charming.

When more dogs go missing—and Felix becomes a suspect—the two team up to clear their names. Although Felix and Addison fight like cats and dogs, there’s an undeniable spark between them. And as the trail to the missing dogs heats up, so does their red-hot chemistry. Can Addison be persuaded to throw away her script to find an ending that just might be better than she ever expected? 

Addison has her life planned out, finding a guy who is perfect for her, find a way to get her doggie fashion designs out there and finding a way to save her fathers store. Just when things start to look up, she ends up being the center of attention when the prized doggie models to show off her designs so missing. It just seems that every time shes around prized dogs keep going missing. Now shes on a mission to save her reputation and find those missing dogs. Little did she expect to start falling for the wrong type of guy in the process.

I loved this book. Honestly I wasn't sure what to expect when I first picked up this book. It was the title it sounds like a beauty and the best retelling but it really wasn't. I guess in some ways it kinda did but if that is why you are looking towards this book then I wouldn't suggest you pick it up for that reason. Instead if you are interested in a interesting batch of characters, a mystery, romance and above all else dogs you'll love this book. Being a dog lover myself I found myself appreciated this book a bit more. I loved the characters and seeing that spark between her and Felix even if she was trying to fight it. He after all wasn't what she was looking for in a man. Then there is that connection and heat between the two. Whew. It was really good. I loved that there was loads of mystery, drama and mishaps to keep things interesting. I enjoyed making guesses on who it would've been and was thrown when I found out it was it in the ending. Overall a great book I really enjoyed it.

A LITTLE FAKE RELATIONSHIP NEVER HURT ANYONE . . .

Kate Massie has big dreams-they just haven’t worked out. Yet. In the meantime, she spends her days clerking for a judge and her nights fantasizing about her tall, dark, and sexy gym crush. So when she runs into him one night, she’s shocked to realize he was her shy, nerdy junior-prom date. But that isn’t where the surprises end . . .

James Abell needs a date to his sister’s wedding. So when Kate agrees, he’s relieved . . . until one little lie turns their wedding date into a full-blown fake relationship. Only it doesn’t feel fake-not the toe-curling kisses and definitely not the electricity. Neither of them is looking for something real . . . but they just might fall for their own little white lie.

Review:

Kate comes back to her home town after finding out that her dream job wasn't falling through and settled as a clerk. Lately shes been dreaming about some guy that goes to a gym she goes to and surprised that to find out she had went previously to a dance and now he all grown up. Not long after finding that out the set up an arrangement for her to be his fake date to his sisters wedding but the longer they are with each other the more those fake feelings turn into something more

I liked it, it was a fun book to read. Personally it felt like many books out there with the whole fake date turning into something more books but it was still fun to read anyways. I tend to find myself drawn to those types of books anyways. What I did like about this book was that even if it's similar to many books out there, there was plenty of differences that stood out. If your wondering what those differences are then you'll have to get ahold of this book because I wouldn't want to spoil the book for you! I did like the main characters, the story was well written and overall just a enjoyable book to read.

Synopsis:

Brilliant designer Miko Jin is a hopeless romantic. She’s spent most of her life falling in love over and over again…with the men she finds in the pages of her favorite novels.

When Miko meets Liam Ashton, it’s love at first sight. At least, for her. Sure, the two of them are polar opposites, and yes, he seems to be dating someone new each week. But Miko knows what true love is and that you can’t rush it—after all, what she lacks in real-world experience, she makes up for in book smarts. With novels as her guide, and her best friends by her side, she knows she can get Liam to love her back. But just like any good romance novel, fate has a few plot twists in store. Will Miko get her own happy ending? Will she find the strength to stand up for what she deserves even if it means breaking her own heart?

Review:

Miko is a reader who wants to be like the books she reads with the amazing romance. Thing is the guy she has her eyes and heart set on is a player and shes willing to change that to make him hers. Or at least she'll take what she can get from him. Hopefully he'll see her then more then just someone to hook up with.

I liked this story. there were a couple funny and cringe worthy moments. My thing was I personally wasn't a fan of Liam. I just didn't like his character or personality I think her hurt her too many times. I thought it was entertaining seeing Mikos pov though so many readers out there I'm sure can relate to her character. Overall I did enjoy this book it was entertaining.

Review : Unsaid

Unsaid by Avery Aster

(The Manhattanites #3)
Genre : MM Romance, Erotica, BDSM,Contemporary, Romance, LGBT, Comedy
Goodreads: Click

Synopsis:

For fans who loved the snarky wit of Will & Grace and the epic love drama found in Brokeback Mountain comes Avery Aster's new full-length, standalone contemporary erotic M/M romance novel, Unsaid.

Chelsea’s hottie Blake Morgan III has reemerged from a nasty breakup. His marriage was a frigid disaster beyond repair, and he vows to be single—forever. Bruised, but still hot in Prada, he creates his Seven Desires wish list, his sexiest imaginings. Blake soon realizes there’s only one man he may trust to make these uninhibited intentions come to fruition: his best friend Miguel Santana.

Lower East Side multimedia artist extraordinaire Miguel Santana may be known as the cocky Latin stud in the city, but all he’s wanted since college was Blake’s hand in marriage. He was livid when Blake walked down the aisle with the wrong guy. Miguel has his own list titled the Seven Needs, which are quite contrary to Blake’s dirty-boy deeds. They involve serious commitments, which may leave his new-to-the-singles-scene buddy sprinting for the door, destroying any hopes Miguel has for happiness.

Can these two hunks conquer their intimate fears and love one another as only best friends can? Join the star-studded cast in The Manhattanites series and see for yourself! 

My Thoughts:

Blake just came out of a bad relationship with his ex husband and isn't looking to jump right into things. Instead his besties convince him to make a list of thing to do in the sack that he wasn't able to get while being married. A few of his fantasy's to experience while he's free to do as he please. Little did he expect was that one of his long time friends, Miguel would step up to the plate when it was all meant as a joke. Turns out Miguel as a list of his own and is basicly if you scratch my back ill scratch yours in helping eachother out. But the thing is emotions always get the best of some peoples and Blake isn't sure hes ready.

Meanwhile Liv is having to deal with the stressing of being mommy and a CEO of the company and managing her wedding. Things become even more stressful when she finds out that one of her besties could be more then just that.

So with that being said this isn't only about Blake...in case you were wondering. I loved getting that side point of view. Thing is was that it seemed like there was just two different stories getting put together in a book. To me personally I think it should've been separated into two different books. Because really it was just that, Blake story was different from Liv's issue.

Overall this was a great addition getting to know more about Blake and Miguel's story, I've pretty much read all of the books before and after which each of the manhattanites and all of the books are great, steamy and funny. I liked getting to see Blake and Miguel's relationship. I loved how different thier relationship was and who equally different their pasts are. Miguel was known for getting around meanwhile he was a closet gay to his parents, Blake isn't and is sure of himself.

Although this book is the third book and a standalone with a glossary to the characters I would recommend you readers out there who are interesting to check out the previous books, it'll help you love this book all the more.

4.5 of 5 stars!
