"Sugar & Spice" [Spicetopia Series, Book 1] by Phoebe Alexander

Author's Book Description : A billionaire undercover boss.
A single mom who’s totally off limits.
Temptation never looked so sweet...

Cy Sweet has always been the black sheep of his family, which is probably why he was chosen to go Undercover Boss in Sweetopia, his family’s theme park. Enticed by his father’s bribe, he dons an apron to serve pastries in Cotton Candy Castle, one of the park’s most popular attractions.

He’s tempted to blow his cover when he meets The Red Velvet Queen. Sure, she’s a costumed character and the jewels in her crown are fake, but she’s absolutely breathtaking. His desire only grows when he invents a baker’s dozen reasons to visit her every day…enough visits to discover her sweetness comes with a side of spice.

But they’re both in disguise. The Queen is actually single mom Jolie Cox, who relentlessly struggles to make a living for herself and her sons. And Cy is actually her boss, not to mention heir to the corporate empire she despises.

What will happen when their identities are finally unmasked?

Sugar & Spice is Book 1 of the Spicetopia Series. Though the series can be read in any order, here is the preferred reading order:
Book 1: Sugar & Spice (Cy and Jolie's story)
Book 2: Virtue & Vice (Moon and Katja's story)
Book 3: Fire & Ice (Neve and Enya’s story)
Book 4: Naughty & Nice (Micah and Natalie’s story)
Book 5: Dares & Dice (Tyler and Makenna's story)
Book 6: Loyalty & Lies (Calvin and Paisley's story -- crossover with Eastern Shore Swingers Series)

My Book Review : DNF. This is another book that I picked up for FREE during the holidays and had hopes of enjoying it. Yet, at this time

Idolizing In: Smooth Talking Stranger by Lisa Kleypas

Format: Paperback | Pages: 372 | Release Date: March 2010 | Publisher: St. Martin's Paperbacks

"Smooth Talking Stranger" by Lisa Kleypas

My Book Summary : Ella has worked hard for what she has, which is a good life with her boyfriend Dane in Austin, Texas, a career that she is very happy with, and good friends. But after avoiding talking to her mother and sister for nearly two years, she takes a call from her mother asking her to come to Houston immediately since Ella's younger sister (Tara) has just left her son at Ella's mother's place and she can't keep him. Now Ella has to find out where her sister is, take care of a baby (even though she has never done so before), and take control of the situation and try to fix it.

Once she gets there, she finds that her sister left a birth certificate with the baby. Now she knows that the baby's name is Luke, he's only a week old, and there is no father's name listed on the birth certificate. After making a few calls to her cousin, whom Tara has been living with, Ella has her write up a list as to whom Tara has been with within the past year -- since she wants the father of this baby to take responsibility even if Tara doesn't want him too. The first name on that list is billionaire playboy, Jack Travis.

Jack is a ladies’ man, with no plans in settling down soon, but as soon as he meets Ella & Luke in his office's lobby he realizes how cute she is and he's determined to help her out by putting her up in a hotel until she finds another place to stay, and even agreeing to a paternity test (even though he swears to have been on one date with Tara but never sleeping with her). Now even though the truth comes out that Jack is telling the truth, he keeps helping Ella out through this trial time of raising a baby and straightening out her sister's mess, especially since she doesn't seem to be getting any support from her boyfriend or her mother.

However, Ella has had a hard time growing up and makes a point of not getting close to anyone but Luke seems to sweep under her defenses, with Jack not far behind. Will Ella be able to put everything to rights again? Will she realize what she has before it's too late? Or will she run back to her old life and boyfriend the first chance she gets ....

My Book Review : 5 out of 5 stars!! This story of Ella & Jack I just LOVED!! The way he just swooped in and took care of her, even when she didn't want it, was wonderful and soo sweet to read! I will say that when she's doing the hunt on who's Luke's father and she's confronting a man who is described to be blond ... I knew exactly who Luke's father was before the 5 or more chapters later confirmed it. Basically for my first time reading something/anything by Lisa Kleypas I got to say I was impressed! I'll definitely have to check out more of her books.

Book Teaser(s) :

Teaser Tuseday for this book...

"Where's he going to stay?"
"With me, of course."
Jack was quiet for a long moment. It might have been my imagination, but I thought his breathing had acquired a rough edge. "I can get him a hotel room," he finally said. "I'll pay for it."
"Why would you ... what? ..."
"I don't want him staying overnight with you."
"But he's my---" I stopped and stared at him in disbelief. "What is this? Jack, I live with him." ~ within Chapter 14

MY Second Sentence Saturday :

"Cramming Her Candy Bag" by Farrah Paige

I mean, it's one thing to put in some extra time at work, it's quite another to mentally and physically exhaust yourself until you have to leave.

... the magic's in the music and the music's in me ...

Some Fae are coming out to play in Dana Marie Bell's "Dare To Believe" (part of the Gray Court series - Book 1). Leo has been working in his company for 5 years and even though he became the CEO of it during the recent years he just found out which employee of his has been enticing him. The only problem is she wont stay around him long enough to get to know her, let alone an introduction. Until he plans on finally doing so at the company's annual masquerade ball....
....Ruby has had a crush on her boss ever since she first started with the company. Yet she knows inter-office romances aren't good so she avoids him ...... even though it's mostly she's just to shy and believes she'll make a fool of herself by drooling to much over him. Anyway, they finally meet and talk at the party .... Now Leo doesn't want Ruby to go....

3.5 out of 5 stars. Dana Marie takes on a different world in this book (dealing with the Fae Courts) and I really like the setup. The characters are great ... makes you just want to get to know them more. This is more then just sex and finding each others mates like her Halle Pumas' series, which makes this story that much more interesting. You should definitely check it out!!

To find out more about this book and/or series, or any other of Dana's books then check out her website!

** Title is from the song Do You Believe in Magic by The Lovin' Spoonful **

Feasted On: The Billionaire's Pregnant Mistress by Lucy Monroe

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 215 KB | Release Date: June 2010 | Publisher: Harlequin Presents

"The Billionaire's Pregnant Mistress" by Lucy Monroe

My Book Summary : Alexandra (Xandra or Allie) just found out a week ago that she is pregnant, and now she is nervous as hell to tell her lover Dimitri about it and about coming clean about her past. They've been together for a year now but they both have things about themselves that they just have yet to tell each other. But she is going to do so now and hope that everything will work out for the best...

However, when Dimitri comes home he has some news of his own that he isn't happy about but he must do ... he must brake up with her, as his grandfather made him promise that he would finally take up his responsibilities and marry the girl that he's known for years, even if he doesn't want to. Once they see each other though talking is the last thing on their minds, but after their "fun" Dimitri drops the bomb that they have to brake up because he has to marry someone else, before Alexandra is able to even form the words for her news. She is devastated and runs to the bathroom, but once she walks back into the bedroom, she realizes he left her. After crying for who knows how long she calls Dimitri to tell him that they still have things that they need to discuss, so he reluctantly agrees to meet her at a restaurant. Once there she tells him that she loves him and that she's pregnant, but emotions are running high for both of them, making it so he gets angry with her believing first that she was lying until she shows him proof then he believes that she cheated on him and then all hell brakes loose...

Even after the argument between them Alexandra knows she still loves him, but decides that he must not care for her, so she heads back to her family's place to try to move on with her life .... even though it's harder then it seems.

When Dimitri finally comes to his senses and searches for Alexandra, coming up missing, he desperately searches for her, promising to himself that he will make her his wife once he finds her .... if is not too late.

My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars!! Charming and enjoyable from beginning to end!!! The relationship between the main characters is palpable, they have such duty to their families that when all these things hit them at once they don't know how to behave so they do anything to find the control they both loose instantly. I enjoyed reading about such passionate and prideful people ... as soon as I started the story I didn't want to put it down!

Book Teaser(s) :

"But you did not wish to marry well?"
"I wanted to marry a man I loved, not a bank account."
"Then it should please you to marry me. If the words you spoke at Chez Renée were true, I can give you both."
"They were true then," so much so that parts of her heart were still cracked and bleeding after the abrupt was they'd broken up, "but I don't love you anymore."
"I refuse to believe a woman of such strong character could fall out of love at the first sign of adversity."
She was beginning to have a horrible suspicion he was right, but she wasn't about to feed his smug pride admitting it. ~ within Chapter 5

Feasted On: Baby Bonanza by Maureen Child

Format: Kindle Edition | File Size: 471 KB | Release Date: September 2008 | Publisher: Silhouette Desire

"Baby Bonanza" by Maureen Child

My Book Summary : A little over a year ago Jenna had a fling with her boss, Nick, while she was working on one of his cruise ships. However, when he found out that she was his employee instead of a guest, like he originally thought, he broke up their relationship and fired her. Since then Jenna's life has change and now she's back on one of Nick's cruise ships again, as a guest, on a mission to inform him that he is the father of her twin boys!! Over the year apart she has tried to contact him to let him know but he never returned/responded to any of her emails or phone calls, so a face-to-face is the way it's gotta be.

Yet, now that she is here she's as nervous as hell, but as soon as she confronts Nick she thinks that it'll all be over and okay ... he'll believe her, will be fine to just pay child support, and then they both can get back to their lives. However, it doesn't seem to work that way. For one, Nick doesn't believe her at all so they need to take a DNA test to be sure, which is fine since she expected as much but now she has to wait a couple of days before the results come in and Nick doesn't want her out of his sight. Then to top it off he already admits to himself (before the results come) that if they are his sons then he is going to want more then just to pay child support, he'll want time with them too and if he thinks Jenna won't allow that then he'll take them away from her.

While the waiting is on for the results both Jenna and Nick realizes things about each other that they didn't know last year, and get closer together. Could this mean a happily-ever-after for them or will they each feel like being together is a big mistake so they'll just do what's right for the kids?

My Book Review : 4.5 out of 5 stars! =0) In truth I am surprised I enjoy this book as much as I did, and for a quick read, it was a great book!! The connection between Nick and Jenna is great to read, and seeing how they grow as characters in such a short time is fun too. This is one romance novel I who recommend to everyone! Especially right now that it's FREE through Amazon.com!

Book Teaser(s) :

"You were dancing, alone in the dark," he said as if she hadn't spoken at all. As if he were prompting her memory. "You didn't notice me, so I watched you as you swayed to the music, tipping your head back, your hair sliding across your shoulders."
"Nick..."
"You has a smile on your face," he said, his voice lower now, deeper, and she wouldn't have thought that was possible. "As if you were looking up into the eyes of your lover."
Jenna swallowed hard and shifted uneasily as her body blossomed with heat. With need. "Don't do this, Nick..."
"And I wanted to be the lover you smiled at. The lover you danced with in the dark." ~ within Chapter 6

"Manipulated" [Hammered Series, Book 3] by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott

Author's Book Description : My name is Owen Blackwell, and I’m currently in recovery.

Not from what you think, though I do enjoy a bit of whiskey.

No, my issue is that I fell foolishly in love with my best friend. Oh, and she’s getting married.

So, in my eternal stupidity, I hooked up with a woman at our annual masquerade ball. You know what they say—the best way to get over a woman is to get under another.

Who is this woman, you ask? Calliope Templeton. She's unlike any other I’ve ever met. And believe me, as the guitarist for Hammered—only the biggest selling rock band out there right now—I’ve met quite a few.

Now I have to figure out how to convince her we’re more than just a one-night stand. She’s supposed to be my happily ever after.

And if necessary, I'm willing to show her just how resourceful one determined Irishman can be...

★-★-★-★-★-★

Manipulated is book 3 in the Hammered rockstar series. Our other rockstar series are also set in the Oblivion world.

My Book Review : 3.5 out of 5 stars! Callie (Calliope) has been trying to bring her life together ever since her divorce about a year ago, now she lands a job that could bring her photography career into the big time. Yet will Owen, the sexy bassist from the band she’s working with, add to her newfound happiness or brake everything she has worked so hard to accomplish?

I had never read this series before, but the authors have it set into their Oblivion Series’ world, and I had read a book or two from that “world” already, so I had a feeling I would enjoy this one. And I am happy to say I did enjoy it.

"The Greek's Pregnant Lover" [Traditional Greek Husbands Series, Book 2] by Lucy Monroe

My Book Summary : Piper and Zepher (Zee) have been friends for two years now, ever since her first project with him after she moved from New York to Seattle because of her ex-husband's slanderous remarks, and for the past six months they've been lovers as well. Both have rough pasts that they are both still slowly getting over, Piper with her family moving around so much when she was younger and then dealing with her ex-husband's lies and infidelity, and Zee with his father's cruelty to his mother and his mother leaving him at an orphanage making him never being able to trust love and making feel like he could never love anyone. After a few weeks of being apart Piper and Zee meet up in Greece to talk/work on a new project that Zee's company is starting, and they both are excited to see each other again. However, to the surprise of Piper, once they meet up Zee informs her that they are going to take a few days’ vacation and tour Greece before they start in on the project. During those few days Piper comes to the realization that even though they both agreed that they would just be lovers, she has found that she has slowly fallen in love with Zee and now has no idea how to tell him, especially since she knows how opposed to love he is.

Then the day before they start to work on the project Piper notices that her birth control patch is no where on her body, and thinks she might be pregnant .... what will they decide to do?

My Book Review : 3 out of 5 stars, it was a good book but not as good as the previous book I've read of hers. Plus, it was a little unbelievable how accepting the main characters were to their circumstances and how easily they handled them. *shrug*

Book Teaser(s) :

Long before their discussion of love at dinner the other night, he had known she was still waiting for her fairy-tale ending complete with love ever after and Prince Charming.
He was a former street rat, no prince, and love was not, and never would be, on his agenda.
"You're talking about love again, aren't you?"
"Yes. Can you honestly say you would have considered a marriage proposal without it?"
She bit her lip and looked away, shaking her head once in negation.
"As I thought."
"So, where does that leave us?"
"I do not know." ~ within Chapter 6
