Diana

First thing to know about me? I don’t need an older man with money to solve my problems. And yet, men my own age seem to constantly disappoint, mistreat, and even get me into trouble with the law. My family has helped me before, but I’m determined to stand on my own two feet this time. I’m getting a second job and I’m going to dig myself out of my worries, no matter what it takes. My new boss, however, has other plans. He doesn’t understand that my problems are none of his business, and I don’t understand his motives. He’s going to have to convince me there’s more to him than just a guy with impressive moves in the kitchen.

Leo
Life has been good to me so far. My successful pizzeria is the talk of the town and I have everything a man could need or want. What I don’t have is a good enough reason to show up single to the family reunion. Again. Finding true love is not all that easy when all I do is work. Turns out, I don’t need to try to find it, because when Diana walks into my restaurant looking for a second job, I’ve found my missing piece. Everything about us makes sense, and I’m determined to show her I’m more than just the guy holding the dough; I’m going to be there for her, through thick and thin. 

Review : Diana has been going through a lot her ex framed her for drunk driving and she’s living in a crappy motel she gets a job at pizza place where she meets Leo. Leo is attracted to her right away and when Leo sees Diana distressed after delivering pizza cause and asshole customer she promotes her to line cook . Leo discovers her problem with her ex and he makes some calls he tows her car cause it’s a danger . Her and Leo get closer when they are making pizza and end up kissing and Leo teases Diana . Leo’s brother finds Diana ex and they get the charges dropped on Diana. Leo and Diana have a date night and it turns into sexy time I loved the story so cute .

Quotes :Baby, no axes are falling anywhere near you as long as I’m in your life.”

I’m right here, Diana. I’ll always be right here.”

No one has ever kissed me like that.” He growls and kisses me again, murmuring in between prodding, warm, wet kisses. “No one else will.

Diana, with an eerie calm, turns to me. “Leo?” “Yeah, baby?” “Hit him again for me, would you? That hurt my hand.” She doesn’t have to ask me twice.

You know I’ll always be here to catch you, Diana.”

Cake Walk by Abby Knox

Cara

I found the perfect spot to sell my cakes for my preschool’s fundraiser: smack in the middle of the town’s most exclusive gated community. That has everything to do with where the money is, and probably nothing to do with catching a glimpse of my dad’s gorgeous best friend, Michael.

Michael

I don’t remember how I ended up as the enforcer for the homeowners association, but I truly give no crap if some cute blonde wants to sell cakes on my street to raise money for the local preschool. When I discover that the cute blonde is my best friend’s daughter, I have to enforce the rules to make Cara go away. Far, far away, before I act on my feelings. Because my feelings are wrong…right?


Review : such a cute story about Cara and Michael. This is about Cara who is one day racing money for her school she’s teaching at and then out comes Michael her dad’s best friend who she’s had a crush on . So she begins to instigate flirting with him and then they end up having sexy times . Michael ends up donating more to her school and he ends up asking her to marry him . They tell her family and it goes OK. It jumps into the future and Cara is pregnant again such a cute story.

Quotes : Don’t ever remove hair just because a man likes you bare. Real men know the sexiest thing in the world is when a woman feels comfortable.”


Cara, wife of mine, I worry all day every day whether you’re pregnant or not.

The truth is, there’s nothing normal about our family, and that’s just fine with me.

Judge Me by Abby Knox

May 29

Chloe

I’ve been obsessed with the famous baker since I was far too young to fall in love with a man so much older. My family thinks it’s an innocent celebrity crush, but what they don’t know is I’ve been saving myself for this stone cold silver fox. And now, to everyone’s disbelief, I’ve got my chance. There’s only one problem that I hope he doesn’t notice: I’m a terror in the kitchen.

Phillip

Everything about my life is endlessly enviable. A celebrity chef with his own television show, best selling cookbooks, and a sprawling estate– it would seem I have it all. Except for one thing. I need someone to help me fill these empty rooms — with love, with children, and with a feminine touch. And then one day, a single catastrophic audition video changes everything. I’m going to do everything in my power to meet this woman. I only hope she doesn’t mind leaving the cooking to me.

Review: This was such a cute read I loved it . This is about Chloe and Philip see Chloe became obsessed with Philip after seeing him on a cooking show and she gets into this American cooking show with him as the judge the problem she sucks at baking and the only way she got there was Philip found her charming and wanted to meet her . This book is cute and sexy Chloe and Philip flirt and then end up having sexy times they get Married and it flashes for years later with them at Christmas with kids .

Quotes



I don’t know the first thing about baking, except as a spectator sport. But I do know one thing. One day I’m going to marry that man.


Unfortunately, I can’t spank an American on worldwide television, but I take solace in the prospect of figuratively paddling a cocky colonist into submission.



It beats for no one and nothing until you showed up in my garden last night.

Credence by Penelope Douglas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


May 20-27
Three of them, one of her, and a remote cabin in the woods. Let the hot, winter nights ensue…

Tiernan de Haas doesn’t care about anything anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she’s grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. Shipped off to boarding schools from an early age, it was still impossible to escape the loneliness and carve out a life of her own. The shadow of her parents’ fame followed her everywhere.

And when they suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But has anything really changed? She’s always been alone, hasn’t she?

Jake Van der Berg, her father’s stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes guardianship of Tiernan who is still two months shy of eighteen. Sent to live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the mountains of Colorado, Tiernan soon learns that these men now have a say in what she chooses to care and not care about anymore.

As the three of them take her under their wing, teach her to work and survive in the remote woods far away from the rest of the world, she slowly finds her place among them.

And as a part of them.

She also realizes that lines blur and rules become easy to break when no one else is watching.

One of them has her.

The other one wants her.

But he…

He’s going to keep her.


Review : I really enjoyed this book it was a fun read this is about Tiernan who’s parents committed suicide . Her parents were famous but they also didn’t care a lot about her so she goes to stay with her step uncle and cousins . She’s hurt by her parents not caring enough to write her a note or something and then things start happening with all the guys. Tiernan looses her virginity to Jake and then when he went fishing she has sex with Noah and Kaleb . Kaleb is mute and kinda intense and she ends up falling for Kaleb . He goes up to the fishing cabin for awhile and her and Noah go and get him . There was a fire awhile back and the guy who started it came back to mostly blackmail her what a nut job. Tiernan ends up leaving and going back to LA and Noah shows up there he got a sponsorship to do racing . Jake and Kaleb also show up . Kaleb ends up speaking to her he practiced for six weeks I loved this book the ending was super cute with them five years later having a baby .

Quote :
Do these men ever get completely dressed? Women survive with the heat and sweat all the time without discarding our clothing



This is why I’m better alone. I don’t have to feel all these things all the time. Embarrassment, shame, guilt… If you don’t put yourself out there, you don’t hurt.


Everyone contemplates suicide at some point, even if it’s just for a minute. And one thing is usually the root cause. Loneliness.



His light chuckle carries as I quickly disappear from his sight. Asshole. But then I stop, noticing. He laughed. Out loud. It wasn’t much, but I heard his deep voice. He’s growled or grunted a few times, but he let me hear him laugh



Let’s not be friends. Let’s fight and laugh and make babies someday and go insane, because I’m fucking in love with you.



Oh, the irony. Six months ago, I ran from a life of people who wouldn’t talk to me and ended up falling for a guy who may never say a word to me.



I can’t believe you’re here,” I tell him just above a whisper. “You actually left Colorado.” “It was time,” he says.



“I love you,” I tell him. He touches his nose to mine. “I love you, too.”
