What Matters Most……Is Love, Trust, Tenacity…….

…. And oh yes, let’s not forget sizzling eroticism and some hot phone sex!!!!

I just can’t get over Erin Nicholas’s amazing penchant of perfect timing for humor and her fabulous narration of a billionaire caught in the cross-hairs of a sassy, hate-your-money, sweet, and in-your-face lady!!!

What Matters Most to billionaire Tony Steele is to get the girl of his dreams away from marrying his best friend. Whisking her away to Vegas, they paint the town red, leave footprints at various clubs, and in between the tequila shots and dancing, propose and marry her – all in a matter of few hours. Waking up to Mrs. Steele beside him and not remembering a single minute of their mind-blowing night takes Mr. Steele from between the sheets into a frying pan.

WhatMattersMost-BillionaireBargains2-ErinNicholas-Dec2014

What Matters Most to Reese Chaplin is to get away from her cheating bridegroom and the altar, lose herself in Vegas and Tony Steele. A night of magic, dancing, drinks and guilt-free celebration of passion, love and a spur of the moment wedding in a chapel!!! And all that mattered for Reese was that she’s with the man she had harbored secret feelings of lust and love, until reality kicks her in the rear.

And now What Matters Most for Tony is to convince the woman he loves that she’s the one for him with all her sweetness, independence, sassiness and her hatred for money. And he needs to convince her that sometimes it’s perfectly all right to enjoy life, and go crazy despite being a billionaire.

Tony is an absolutely fabulous billionaire, smart, helpful and just plain simple at heart, trying very hard to get rid of his billions to woo his lady back. Reese is the ultra helpful social worker, always looking out for the downtrodden, trying to balance the money and the have-nots. Both, adorable, frustrating, stubborn and so in love with each other!

There is not one single thing that I can pinpoint and say is the best. In the second book in Erin Nicholas’s Billionaire Bargain Series, “What Matters Most”, is that it’s a sheer perfection of humor, love, passion, and wit between a couple trying to bring a balance to their life, despite the fear of skydiving into a future with each other.

Ready Or Not – You’ll Be Captivated!!!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment
December 15, 2014

I’ve followed Jennifer Berg from her first book in the Ready Series, “When You Are Ready”, and have been enthralled with stories. And from her first book to the latest in the series, “Ready Or Not”, has been journey of hard work, apprehension, learning, progress and maturity from experience.

“Ready Or Not” brings Olivia Quinn and Jackson Reid as neighbors turning into friends to making a future with each other.

ReadyOrNot-CoverReveal-Sept2014

Liv breaks away from her wealthy political family to stand on her two feet, independent and working for what her heart believes in. She becomes a counselor with stellar qualifications and leaves behind her trust funds and a past that was swallowed by politics and power. And her professional experience brings her up close and personal with Jackson and his teenage son.

Single father Jackson is starting a new life with his teenage son, Noah, in a new city. His tryst with his puberty raged son brings him face to face with Liv, who coincidentally happens to be his neighbor; a neighbor, who happens to be giving him sleepless nights and making his life a living hell of raging hormones.

Attraction flares, sparks fly, passion reaches its zenith and they fall in love with all their past failures and insecurities. As Liv’s past comes to light, Jackson is a solid rock supporting her. With Noah going through changes and Jackson trying to be a good father, Liv eases his fears and insecurities. Personally, Liv and Jackson are my favorites.

Jennifer Berg has done a brilliant job of penning Liv and Jackson. Her maturity in writing is so very evident with the depth of her characters. There is so much more importance given to the relationship among her friends, the unconditional love and support from Liv’s extended family, the clarity of emotions between Jackson and Liv, made this story so much more precious and pleasurable to read.

Forever Us – A Perfect Start!

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

The final installment of the “Someday Series” is a fitting ending to the start of a new phase of life for Jace and Cat. They met, dated, romanced with a passion and weathered some real upheavals in their life. And now is the ultimate testing time for their love and trust with each other, in each other.

ForeverUs-SomedaySeriesFinal-Dec2014

Life sure dealt a mean curve ball with the arrival of Jace’s son, Gavin throwing Jace and Cat for a loop. Control, power and manipulation being the fodder for Angelica James, she is conniving and thrives on blackmail to circumvent situations and people for her own personal gain. But there is always an end to the madness and Cat does a fine job of putting an end to it, with sophistication and class!

“Forever Us” is so much more than a love story. It’s the continuous evolution of two people, who have immense trust in each other despite adverse situations. It is the story of two people who understand the importance of family, relationships and empathy. And it is the story of two beautiful people who believed in each other beyond any boundary, with immense love for each other, that gave them the courage and strength to go past the emotional bumps and insecurities.

Melanie Shawn does a fabulous job of drawing out the contrasting depths of various relationships. Relationships are bonded with heart and not just blood. And when you have your heart in the right place, adverse situations can make you very strong. With love, support and compassionate friends, Jace and Cat welcome their new life with Gavin – a perfect beginning of a new life!

In His Shadow – Interesting Trails

Filed under: Book Reviews — Leave a comment

Don’t think I’ve read this many new authors in a span of few months and adding Tiffany Snow to that list of interesting discoveries with her “In His Shadow”, book one of Tangled Ivy Trilogy.

Ivy Mason has built a life far away from a past that had painful memories. Working in a bank, she hides behind a steady job, and a routine that brings stability and structure to her life. Sharing an apartment with her childhood friend Logan, and with her life revolving around her job and a handful of friends, she has no clue that bumping into Devon would throw her life into a fast and furious ride.

InHisShadow-TangledIvy-TiffanySnow-Dec2014

Devon works as an agent for an underground British agency called the ‘Shadow’, and true to that name he leads a life in the murky and dangers of evil walking the world. He is after a man believed to have a vaccine for a deadly virus that is being targeted to be unleashed into the population, and Devon is chasing down the terrorists to stop it. Ivy ends up in the crosshairs of this dangerous mission when a customer at her bank is murdered, and she unwittingly gets linked with life threatening events and Devon.

As Devon protects Ivy, she falls for him. As Ivy tries to fathom the mystery that Devon is, he wants Ivy with a desire that knows bounds; despite the threat his profession carries. Loyalties are tested, trust becomes a heavy price to pay, and passion is an addiction that cannot be cured. Ivy is courageous and brave enough to test the waters of the evil and sacrifice for her love. Devon would go to the ends of the earth to keep Ivy at his side…forever.

“In His Shadow”, takes you on a ride of adrenaline rush, with evil lurking in the shadows and international struggle for power and control. A couple of times I felt there was a break in the flow of the story, but then the pace picks up and takes you to the end…yet not the end. This really doesn’t leave you with a cliffhanger, but clearly leaves you with the feeling of more coming.

Devon and Ivy sure have some unfinished business!!!

A very good read that definitely holds interest and leaves you wanting more…
