"The Princess and the Porn Star" by Lauren Gallagher (aka L. A. Witt)
Expected Publication Released Date: May 2013

Author's Book Description:

She’s got the moves. He’s got the heat. Will their hearts catch the rhythm?

Rachel Taylor’s manager has to be kidding. A porn star dancing beside her in her next music video? She didn’t claw her way back from near obscurity in the pop music world only to become a laughingstock all over again.

Yet the moment she meets Lee, a.k.a. the infamous Buck Harder, their chemistry sizzles. There’s much more to the man behind the stage name than the obvious attributes that make him so successful, and soon she’s fantasizing about sharing more than just a stage.

In only a few steps, they find a perfect, dance-floor groove hot enough to melt the camera lens. But when the video’s release blows up in their faces, her record label exercises an obscure but ironclad clause—stay away from each other. Or else.

Meeting in secret seems the most delicious solution. But they can’t hide this kind of heat for long…and when the paparazzi sniff them out, she realizes choosing to stay with the man she’s fallen for could cause her to fall off the pop music map—permanently.

Warning: Let’s just say there’s a reason Buck Harder went into his line of work, and it ain’t his pretty smile. Wink wink.

"Most Likely to Succeed" [Girls Most Likely to... Series, Book 1] by Kate Davies

My Book Summary : When Kelsey graduated, she was known as the Girl voted Most Likely to Succeed. However, ever since then she has been feeling that was a cursed placed on her, especially because of family obligations she was never able to go to college let alone find a way out of her hometown. Now ten years later, her 10-year high school reunion is happening the following weekend and her best friend Tess--who is putting together the reunion--talks Kelsey into going. Soon she'll get to see her high school crush and old lab partner, Nathan, again--will she be able to get over her fears of what she feels are her past failures? Or will she let past regrets get in the way of something wonderful?

My Book Review : 2.5 out of 5 stars. Two high school friends learn that their feelings for each other have only grown over the years. I liked the moral of this novel, which was that it doesn't matter about everyone else's opinion of you but what you think about yourself. Also, Kelsey and Nathan made a very fun and sweet pair.

However, I felt that this novel rushed through all the scenes that weren't about Kelsey and Nathan hooking up. It seemed like there could of been more added to this novel to make it come together a little better.

Therefore, I don't recommend this novel but if you decide on reading it then you should know it is for those who like contemporary romances.

Book Teaser(s) :

“I want you,” she gasped. “Want you so much.”
“Feeling’s mutual,” he growled, lifting her other leg so she was wrapped completely around him. He turned and strode toward the bedroom, carrying a laughing Kelsey in his arms.
A few steps inside and his knees hit the edge of the mattress, so he tipped forward, dropping Kelsey gently onto the bed. She grinned up at him, arms raised. “Hey, gorgeous,” she said.
“I think that’s my line.” She scooted backward until her head reached the pillows. He climbed onto the bed, stretched out over her and leaned down for another kiss.
He had intended it to be soft and slow, to build the tension again. But the best of intentions disappeared as the kiss turned hot and wet and more than a little dirty. Kelsey scrabbled at his shirt, dragging the hem out of his jeans and tugging it until it bunched under his arms.
“Off, off, I want it off,” she mumbled against his lips. “Need your skin. Now.”
Hell, he could get on board with that. Sitting up until he was on his knees, straddling her body, he pulled his shirt off over his head and tossed it on the floor.
She reached up and stroked one hand down his chest. “Damn, were you really hiding this under those lab coats all those years?”
He grinned and shook his head. “Trust me, I was a late bloomer.”
“Well, you’ve blossomed quite nicely, Mr. Barrow.” ~ within Chapter 4

“But I certainly didn’t live up to my potential,” she retorted.
“You could say the same thing about me,” Bree reminded her. “Unwed teen mom, blah blah blah. Am I a failure in your eyes?”
Kelsey’s mouth dropped open. “Of course not!”
“Then cut yourself some slack.” Bree eyed her closely. “Unless Nathan’s said or done something to make you feel this way, in which case, my rusty knife has an appointment with his balls.”
Kelsey coughed, waving a hand in front of her face. “Oh, God, Bree, don’t do that! You’re killing me here.”
Bree shrugged. “I’m just saying.” ~ within Chapter 6

"Lust by Moonbeam" [Oh, Canada!/Alien Abductions/Moonbeam Series, Book 1] by Cynthia Sax

My Book Summary : Catherine (Cathy) has always felt alone, ever since her parents died when she was a little girl she has felt out-of-place and never fit in with anyone even when she tried. Now she's visiting Moonbeam to prove that the dead tree o-rings they have are either naturally occurring or a hoax thereby to disprove the small town's alien landing reports, which won't win her any friends in Moonbeam either. Yet when she first arrives she meets Veterellec (Rellec), who the towns people call Frank, the owner of the property that she'll be studying and a man who turns her on like no other...

Now if she only can trust her heart not to fall for him before she is ready too she might be fine. That is if she can get over his beliefs about being an alien and all...

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars! One woman is about to learn the meaning of love at first touch.

Cathy and Rellec's story is sweet and erotic! His world is seems a bit confusing to me in the explanation, and I'd love to see a drawing of what he really looks like (since his ridges vibrating is hard to imagine sometimes), but I liked how these two came together and fight for each other. Also, this novella does have quite a few funny spots, mostly because Rellec still learning Cathy's slang words of the English language. =0)

The only reason I didn't give this novella a higher rating is that the two of them are too much of exhibitionists for my taste. Which I know might seem weird because it is a book and I can't see them, it's still the truth of the matter.

Nevertheless, I do recommend this novella and series to anyone who likes sci-fi erotic romances!

Book Teaser(s) :

“The thrusters obliterated the trees.” Although Rellec slowed his pace, Cathy’s heartbeat remained joyfully erratic, her pulse jumping each time his broad shoulders brushed against her smaller form. “The thrusters are too powerful or the trees are too delicate. I will adjust the thrusters first.”
“That’s all you can adjust.” She narrowed her eyes. The Ministry wouldn’t appreciate him mucking around with genetics. “And the thrusters are used for?”
“Our transport vessels, my Cathy. The thrusters enable the transport vessels to leave the surface of your blue and white planet. The gravitational pull is very strong.”
Cathy stared straight ahead, keeping her face carefully blank. Damn it. He was hunky and hot for her, so, of course, he was also batshit crazy. ~ within Chapter 1

“He thinks of me as some sort of breeding...cow?” He wouldn’t ever love her, not in the way she loved him, and when he found out she didn’t know how to be a mother or a daughter-in-law or a wife, he’d hate her. Cathy rubbed her hand over her face. This was her biggest disaster yet in a life filled with disasters.
“That comparison is unlikely, as large domesticated ungulates are not native to Sila.” Vern waved a beeping wand over Cathy’s head and frowned, the ridges on his forehead condensing. “Hmmm... Your thought processes are not logical, yet you do not have damage.”
Cathy narrowed her eyes at the young alien. “I’ll give you a tip, Vern. When you meet your own prospective breeding cow, do not tell her she’s illogical. We don’t like hearing that.” ~ within Chapter 5
