Read:: Love's Learning Curve by Felicia Lynn

I had the pleasure of being able to read this book with an ARC. This is my first ever Felicia Lynn read. I have read all of her BFF's books, Ms. Harper Sloan but I haven't heard a lot about her books. So the opportunity arose and I grabbed it, well actually I won it but whatever. I read before bed as usual, went to sleep, then woke up at 230 AM and had the urge of, I wonder what happens next, so I began reading again. The next thing I knew my alarm was going off and I was ending the book. I couldn't put it down. I had to know what would happen, would it work out, and would Charlotte's mother be ran over???

Charlotte is a Senator's kid, his only child, but we don't hear much from daddy during this book. Her mother is a different story, if I could have went into the book and hit her with something, I might have. Charlotte has never experienced much of anything, her friends were chosen, her dates were chosen, her clothes, you name it, her mother had control. Charlotte is at the breaking point, that point where she wants more. She wants to live her life, she wants to experience stuff. Its a natural feeling, however most of us do all thi during our teens and not at 21.

Tyler, such a sweetie, I wanted to keep him. The prologue introduces us to the baseball hotshot and his conversation with his high school coach. This young man just wants to play ball, wants to make more of himself without failing, wants to show everyone that he did make it. He doesn't have time for distractions.

Enter the distraction! Their first meeting was epic. I loved it. He was an ass and she was pointing her finger and telling him exactly what she feels. Charlotte doesn't ever get to do this and it makes her feel great. They keep running into each other at different places and Tyler wants nothing but to keep a smile on her face. He doesn't understand why he's feeling like this however he knows it makes him feel good also.

After a misunderstanding that would have really sent me to taking care of business with my mother, they allow themselves the happiness of being together.

Ms. Lynn leaves us with a 'The Ending--For Now' Yes you saw that right FOR NOW so I am keeping eyes and ears open for when we will read more of Charlotte and Tyler together.





Love’s Learning Curve Synopsis:

College for most girls comes with a rite of passage to make mistakes, to live fearlessly, and to experience the real world while not under a microscope, having every move made scrutinized, criticized and worst of all, publicized. As the only child of the governor of South Carolina, and potential US Presidential candidate, Charlotte Maryland Baker is not granted the luxury of the typical college experience. 
Tyler Stone lives for baseball and everything that comes with it, and has the stats to prove he’s an exceptional player. The only place Tyler Stone feels he matters is on the pitching mound. Without the distraction of dating, or making friends he can concentrate on the one thing that makes him feel complete – Baseball.
Opposites attract, so they say, but what WILL happen when these two opposites collide.

What is it about this guy?
On paper, he’s one hundred percent wrong for me. His e-mails are equal parts annoying and funny.
Okay, more funny than annoying. More like refreshing. Different. Exciting.
But as I stand next to him now, he’s giving me head-to-toe tingles, and I find myself dwelling on his e-mails.

Meet smart, sexy career girl and New York snob, Charli Richards. She has everything except happiness until the day she meets Layton Griffin. It’s a random encounter on an airplane; it couldn’t mean anything, right?

Layton isn’t even remotely close to who Charli sees herself hooking up with . . . ever. Her mom and best friend agree he’s not for her, but he makes her feel something exciting, awakens her world.

But then Layton changes, going to great lengths for Charli to see him for who he really is.
Will those changes bring them closer together, or will she never be able to see him in the same way again?

Read:: Lucky Catch by C.M. Dorporto


So I have read every book in this series and I watched from the outside how explosive this couple can be, but I freaked out when I heard they were getting their very own book. Of course I grabbed it up.

This book is great, it has a great storyline, as always CM tells us both point of views, so we know what everyone is thinking. We get visited by some favorite friends and family members. These two really had to work for it once they decided to quit messing around and to have a real relationship.  They had everything that could be thrown in their way there, blocking happiness.

CM does a great job taking you on that journey, showing you how strong it can be, and if you really want it, get it.



They'll do anything to hide what they want, even though it's each other they want most. Determined to keep their friends-with-benefits status under-wraps, Luke and Delaney spend their junior year of college sneaking around. Once the truth is revealed, their relationship takes off, but not without the challenges from Delaney's carefree attitude or Luke's overbearing parents. Luke’s determined to stand by the girl he loves and trust she’s doing the right thing, despite his hectic baseball schedule that keeps him on the road. When Delaney's past threatens to destroy them, will forgiveness be enough for them to realize they were each other's lucky catch? ***Standalone but it is recommended you read the entire series***
Recommended age: 17 years and older due to language and sexual situations

AUTHOR BIO

Ella Starling is a 20-something European dark romance author. When she isn't thinking about bad boys & their good girls, she's spending time with her two cats and her boyfriend.

Read:: ARC Cain by L.B. Dunbar


I met Cain and Sofie in Abel, by L.B. Dunbar. Cain is Abel’s older brother. Cain took the brunt of the beatings and lashings from their controlling father. Cain believes he is not able to love, be loved, or wants to love. He has only seen love disappoint. His father only believes that Cain is good if he keeps the money coming in and remains champion. ‘If I wasn’t a champion, I wasn’t anyone to Atom Callahan, our father, and his heaven, the fight club.’



I met Sofie in Abel also, a friend of Abel, going to the same school as him. She and Abel are close. We finally get the back story to how Cain and Sofie know each other and their story. I was shocked and intrigued at the same time.  They fight all the freaking time. They love hard but they screw it up for themselves. They stumble over the love part and continue bull rushing to the tearing each other apart part of the relationship. Sofie finds out a secret Cain has kept from her for over a year. It is a lot of process for her and she runs.

These two kept finding each other. They made my head and heart spin. Sofie ran, Cain moved, Sofie moved in, Cain left to go back to Vegas. Sofie is confused on Cain’s actions most of the book. Poor Cain thinks that his actions should tell her how he is feeling when in fact she just wants to hear the words.  He absolutely made my heart melt at points with Sofie “I want you to be my wife.” Then I added, “For real.”


By the end I was wondering if LB was going to have a HEA or not, we were getting closer to 100% and nothing was being resolved. These two were still fighting their feelings, fighting with and for each other. I absolutely loved that they joined together to fight against his horrible evil father. I loved that they finally saw that together made more sense than not.


I am so happy that I followed Eric Battershell Photography who shared the cover for Abel which caught my eye and I one clicked to begin this series of this family.








“I hate that I love you,” she said. “You left me.”

“I lost you, there’s a difference. Now that I found you, I intend to keep you.”

Lost.

I’d tasted the sweetest fruit of temptation, and I wanted another bite. I had promised myself before, but once wasn’t enough. The savory flavor of her lingered long after I’d lost her. Contending with the pressure to return to the fight, in order to prove myself to my father and the world, I had to let her go.

Found.

It has been a year. Sofie Vincentia and I had played a dangerous game. For one night, we pretended, only to discover our farce was real. I’d lost her, but I hadn’t stopped searching, hoping for her return. I was used to getting what I wanted, so when she didn’t come to me, I had to go after her. This would be the greatest fight of my life.
