"Forever His Baby"
[The Baby Saga Series, Book 1] by Airicka Phoenix
Author's Book Description :

Two brothers. One impossible choice

From the moment her suspicions are confirmed, Lily knows she’s screwed. What the hell is a nineteen year old with no future going to do with a baby? She can barely take care of herself. She needs help.

In walks Sloan McClain, the only man Lily has ever truly wanted — and the brother of the boy whose baby she’s carrying. While Lily expects a great number of outcomes when she tells Sloan her news, him proposing marriage and asking her to keep the baby is not one of them, especially not when she has every intention of giving the baby a better future by giving it the home she can’t.

Having spent the majority of his life protecting his brother from the bone-breaking fists of their father, Sloan is no stranger to hardship, loss and abandonment. He has learned long ago never to rely on anyone to take care of what was his, and that baby is his. He isn’t about to let Lily give away his family, nor can he allow that child to destroy the future he has built for Cole. His only option: marry the mother and claim the baby as his.

But no secret ever stays hidden forever.

"Bye-Bye Baby"
[The Baby Saga Series, Book 2] by Airicka Phoenix
Author's Book Description :

Love has no expiration.

The morning Beth packed her bags and walked out of Cole’s life was the day he swore the only girl for him would be the six year old who called him daddy. He didn’t have time for love, not between raising his baby girl and trying to figure out what the hell he was going to do with his life. But fate has a funny way of coming around and kicking you when you least expect it. Cole’s new life was no exception.

As a product of a severely broken home, Beth Doan knew better than to ever get married. She’d seen what that commitment did to people and she loved Cole McClain too much to let marriage destroy them. But the minute she boards that bus she knew she was making the biggest mistake of her life. Only maybe she wasn’t, not when she goes running back home to the only man she ever loved and finds him in the arms of another woman.

When an unexpected accident throws them together four years later, the last thing either anticipated was to become responsible for a little person who needs them a whole lot more than they need their bitterness and hurt feelings. Can Cole and Beth forgive and forget long enough to save the life of a child neither one of them predicted falling in love with?

Or are some wounds just too deep to heal?

"Be My Baby"
[The Baby Saga Series, Book 3] by Airicka Phoenix
Author's Book Description :

It started with a drink and ended in a night neither will ever forget.

Calla McClain had done a great number of questionable things in her past, getting drunk at a friend’s wedding and winding up in bed with the man she loved should have been a dream come true. Only their one night of mind blowing sex wasn’t the only mistake she’d made in her intoxicated stupor.

Waking up hitched to the girl he’d been in love with since they were sixteen suited Jared just fine. He was in no hurry to cut those papers up, no matter how hard the new Mrs. Dumont insisted she was no good for him. He wasn’t going to let her keep them apart, and he sure as hell wasn’t going to let her walk away now that she belonged to him.

But can Jared accept the demons snapping at Calla’s heels? Can he convince her they were perfect for each other? And what will happen when they learn that getting married was the least of their problems?

"Always Yours, Baby"
[The Baby Saga Series, Book 4] by Airicka Phoenix
Author's Book Description :

How could someone so pure want filth like him?

Damon Comb was no stranger to pain, hunger, loneliness, and abandonment. Being given a family that would die for one another didn’t erase six years of torture. It didn’t take away the nightmares. She did. She was everything someone like him should never be allowed. She was goodness and strength and she made him human.

How could someone so broken complete her?

Willa McClain had it all, a family that adored each other, the love of an entire town and a future she worked her butt off to get. But all she wanted was the boy with the sad blue eyes and the crooked smile. He was her best friend, her protector and the only one who really understood her.

How could a love like theirs be extinguished?

But nothing ever lasted forever. Damon knew better than anyone how quickly the tides could change. Can he keep his past at bay before it consumes the only light in his dark world? Can he finally tell Willa the truth, or will his fears tear them apart forever?

How could love so strong ever fail?

Idolizing In: Bad Habit Series, Book 1

- This is an ARC book - Available Formats through Amazon.com: Paperback - Pages: 384; Kindle Edition - File Size: 6387 KB; Audiobook - Unabridged | Expected Release Date: July 14, 2015 | Publisher: Montlake Romance | Obtained: NetGalley

"Sweet as Sin" [Bad Habit Series, Book 1] by J. T. Geissinger

Author's Book Description : Inside a drop-dead sexy, hard-partying rock star lies a good heart…and a dark secret.

Twenty-something Kat Reid is loving life as an in-demand Hollywood makeup artist. She has absolutely no interest in rock ’n’ roll, but in order to pay the mortgage, she agrees to work on the set of a rock video for the world-famous rockers known as Bad Habit…which brings her face-to-face with Nico Nyx, lead singer of Bad Habit and Adonis in the flesh.

However, the fiercely independent Kat isn’t impressed by the hard-living, womanizing rock star. But when Nico’s model girlfriend shows up to the set drunk and Kat is tapped to replace her as the video’s sexy bride, her combustible chemistry with Nico suddenly threatens to consume the set. Nico feels it, too—and becomes determined to win Kat over, body and soul. Yet behind his rock god swagger, Nico hides a dark secret. Can he rock Kat’s world forever, or will he just break her heart?

My Book Review : 5 out of 5 stars!! When Kat (Katherine) meets Nico during his music video shoot, she never expected her world to change in the blink of an eye. But it does. The question is does she have the courage to stay on and enjoy the ride or will "she run for the hills" too soon?

If you’re looking for an EXTREME romantic rollercoaster read than this is the book for you!! Very well written! At times, it made me feel like I was reading Kat's diary. Overall, Kat makes you fall in love all of the characters, even herself.

Reader Disclaimer :: If you were a fan of Travis from Ms. McGuire's "Beautiful Disaster" then I think you'll enjoy Nico from this novel. However, if you weren't a fan of Travis from "Beautiful Disaster" then this probably won't be the best choice for you. Mostly because Nico has an intensity about him that is like Travis. Meaning that while it's undeniable to see that Nico has feelings for Kat, he's very possessive of her and is quick to rage when he's feeling protective, which I have read previous reviews that some female readers didn't like reading "heroes" who were portrayed like that. Therefore, if that reader is you and you don't like possessive heroes (like Nico & Travis) then I don't think you’re right for this novel.

Now back to the good stuff...

I was pleasantly surprised with how Kat & Nico's romance progressed and grew. It was erotically heartwarming in its extreme intensity. And while I'm shocked at where Ms. Geissinger took the plot at times, I LOVED how everything played out!!

I hope we'll get to see the rest of Bad Habit paired off and if any of their stories are as mesmerizing as Nico & Kat's then this series will be a winner!!

I HIGHLY recommend this novel and series to those looking for a fast-paced whirlwind rock star contemporary romance!!

"I'm not a stranger. We've been introduced." His fingers curled over the curve of my hip. His head dipped toward mine.
Breathing was becoming difficult. My face felt so hot it burned. "I don't kiss men with girlfriends."
"We already covered that. She's not my girlfriend. Next excuse?"
My hands were flattened against his bare chest as I tried to push him away. My voice came out small. "I don't want to."
Nico shook his head, his eyes hot. "Such a fuckin' liar," he whispered.
Before I could react, he lowered his mouth to mine. ~ within Chapter 5

Feasted On: Sixth Street Bands Series, Book 1

"Gone for You" [Sixth Street Bands Series, Book 1] by Jayne Frost

Author's Book Description : As the guitarist for the rock band Caged, I know the rules: no relationships. No complications. Leave ‘em smiling when you go, but always go. Besides, it’s not like I’m ever in one place for more than a few days at a time. As the next hottest thing out of Austin, the band and I are riding the wave, and the music is all that matters.

Until her…

Lily Tennison has “complication” written across her beautiful face. But I can’t get involved. The timing’s all wrong. But she’s under my skin, and I can’t resist her troubled eyes and sweet smile. And I do have a little time to kill. Not much, just a few days in Dallas.

So I’ll scratch the itch and move on, like I always do.

Simple, right?

Note: You won't need to turn up the heat—Sixth Street Bands Romances have plenty of steamy fun. This story can be read as a stand-alone but is part of the Sixth Street Bands music scene.

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars! Rock star guitarist, Cameron, has a good life. However, when his friend, and bandmate, is placed in the hospital Cameron's life is sidelined by the need to stay in one place for an extended period of time. During that time, he meets Lily. Lily comes from a well-known Texas family, who disowned her when she decided to do what she always wanted with her life by becoming an artist, and sets Cameron's life on fire as he goes about pursuing her. Yet, are they meant for only a few good memories or something more worthwhile?

While I loved the cover its book description didn’t really sell me on this novel, who helped want to read it was Eat Sleep Read Review’s own review for this novel as it explained a lot. Now that I’ve read this novel, I can say that I was pleasantly surprised that I liked reading from a single POV standpoint, Cameron’s POV to be exact, as much as I did. Cameron is forthright in his beliefs and wants making it hard for the reader not to agree with him. Plus, I found his attraction and “chase” for Lily to be very endearing. They are very sweet together. In addition, while I still wished I could read a bit from Lily’s perspective, I liked the way Cameron handles everything that came his way. He was the perfect “reformed” playboy rock star hero!

I hope to see the rest of Cameron’s band matched up as this series progresses! I recommend this novel to those looking for a lighthearted yet sultry rock star romance!

Book Teaser(s) :

She took a calming breath. "What exactly can I get for you, Mr. Knight?"
Holding the pen so tightly I could see the white in her knuckles, she waited for me to tick off my list.
"The workout clothes I mentioned. Size large. A couple pairs of jeans. Boot cut. Size 32x36. T-shirts and socks." Draping an arm over the back of the couch, I looked her up and down. "And underwear."
Scribbling furiously, she didn't look up. "Boxers, briefs..." Her pen finally came to rest, and a smile hitched up one side of her lips. "...or panties?"
I choked on the piece of melon trying to make its way down my throat. Coughing and sputtering, I leaned forward. Lily casually walked to the table, handing me the half empty bottle of water.
Grabbing it from her, I took a large swallow. A couple of tears sprang to my eyes as I looked up at her. The girl was way too cocky for her own good. Clearing my throat, I took another swig, finishing the bottle.
"Well?" She looked at me innocently.
"Boxers," I growled. ~ within Chapter 3

Made the Grade: The Amish Bachelors Series, Book 1

"An Amish Harvest" [The Amish Bachelors Series, Book 1] by Patricia Davids

Author's Book Description : Nursing His Heart
When Amish carpenter Samuel Bowman is injured in an accident, he fears he'll never see again. He's always provided for his family—and now that it's harvest season, the Bowmans are needed in the fields, not at his bedside. So when a young Amish widow becomes his nurse, Samuel expects Rebecca Miller to make his life easier. But his caregiver is bossy, outspoken and challenges him to move on with his life. Though Samuel's sight is in question, he can plainly see the woman he's come to care for won't let herself love again. Now it's Samuel's turn to heal her heart.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! A spin-off from Ms. Davids' "Amish Redemption" (book 13 in her Brides of Amish Country) follows Joshua's oldest brother Samuel who is determined to work hard by expanding his family's furniture business in hopes of keeping his brothers (and their own families when they get them) living in their community of Bowmans Crossing. However, a detrimental accident leaves Samuel temperately blind and has second/third degree burns on his hands and face. As harvest time approaches Rebecca, a young Amish widower who now helps those as a caretaker, is asked to assist Samuel and his family. During their time together, they grow close but is Rebecca willing to open her heart enough to love someone else again and will Samuel be able to overcome his need to take on the world without asking for help?

This is a sweet novel about overcoming heartache and circumstance. I found Samuel & Rebecca to be charming in their banter and growing relationship as they keep one another on their toes. Plus, Samuel’s brothers kept me entertained too, it’ll be interesting to see who they will end up with as this series progresses. Nevertheless, even though I enjoyed its ending I wish Rebecca could have been more decisive instead of wishy-washy about her own feelings.

Overall, I recommend this novel to those looking for an enchanting Amish romance!
