 1/2

He's got the temperament of a lion, and she's just the one to tame him.
Police records clerk Emma Beaumont has always played it safe, never taking many risks. Quiet, shy, and a little overweight, she's convinced herself that she's comfortable with the way her life is. That is until she lays eyes on incredibly sexy Lieutenant Johnny Street. But she's never met anyone with such a terrible attitude. He's a jerk. Everyone thinks so.
Little by little, Emma is forced to uncover a stronger, spunkier part of herself, one that isn't afraid to stand up to him. As she gets to know him, she starts seeing glimpses of a very different man. A man who has known great heartache, and as it turns out, has good reason for embracing such bitterness. Behind his sharp tongue and harsh demeanor, lies a young man who's desperately afraid of losing what's left of himself.
As Emma's intense desire for Johnny turns to love, she will have to ask herself how far she'll go to chip away at his frosty heart. And at what cost.
Content Warning: contains sensual sex and strong language

Review

****I recieved an ARC copy of this for my honest review, I reviewed this book on content only.****
"He's got the temperament of a lion, and she's just the one to tame him."
Lieutenant Johnny Street; the office grump, always harsh and wearing a continuous scowl. He's been hurt, put through more than his fair share of heartbreak and received enough hard blows to keep anyone down. But no one see's that side of him, no one knows why he is the way he is and that's just the way he likes it. Emma Beaumont, a sweet and self conscious records clerk works at the same police station and has had her eye on Street from day 1. The only problem? Street has never acknowledged her. So what happens when our cantankerous police man finally has had enough of starting at the unknowingly gorgeous Emma? Add a perfect timed storm, and outside circumstances, and we go on a journey of heartbreak and healing.
This book is a romance that will twist your insides. We meet great characters that make you scream at them the entire way. This book would have been a 4 star rating for me had it not been so short, giving it a rushed feeling. Still, another great one for the romance reader's to be read shelf! I'm hoping for more from this author in the future.

The Secret Diary of Lady Catherine Bexley 18+

The following review is for 18+ readers.

1/2
Lady Catherine Bexley is new to marriage and the marriage bed, but surely there must be more to it than this? Her husband is proper and perfunctory — treating her with careful respect but leaving her aching for more.
When she witnesses a gentleman disciplining a maid at a house party, the ache explodes into ravenous desire. She finds herself no longer willing to wait for her husband’s stiff and passionless attentions — and soon develops a naughty plan to finally get what she wants.

Review

****This book was given to me through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review****

" I find it amusing that the purity of thought I had once hoped to find in professing my thoughts in this diary has not been achieved. In my humble opinion, purity is an overrated characteristic and one that should be banned from marriage altogether."
What a fun naughty little read. This isn’t your average regency story. This is a story of a young woman of 19, Lady Catherine Bexley, discovering the life of a married lady and finding herself wanting more. She wishes for passion instead of proper. Upon her frustration she decides to take to writing in a diary to extract these thoughts and desires from her mind, taking us on a sexy journey that you won’t regret.

A Good Time

 

 

 A passionate free spirit and a sweet-talking playboy sound like a match made in heaven—until life gets in the way of all the fun and games…
Indy Adams values her freedom above all else. She works hard to support herself, moonlighting as a waitress while she fights for her first big sale in the Chicago real estate market. The last thing she needs is to be tied down, so she doesn’t think twice about declining her philandering boyfriend’s marriage proposal. Besides, she just landed a new client, a wealthy lothario—exactly the kind of guy who would understand her no-strings approach…
Handsome, rich, and charitable, most women jump at the chance to even talk to video game developer Griffin Walker, let alone date him. So he can’t understand why Indy wants nothing more than a few steamy nights together. Despite his romantic track record, Griffin longs for real love—complete with a home and family—and he wants it with Indy. But a blessing in disguise may lead them both to a life they never expected, and give Griffin a chance to show Indy that it’s okay to want more than a good time…

Review

****This book was given to me through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review***
A jaguar driving, sexy as sin video game creator who is rarely seen with the same woman for a long period of time, Griffin Walker appears to be your stereotypical playboy. Enter Indy Adams his real estate agent, and casual acquaintance. Despite his obvious attempts and flirting Indy already has her romantic life full with her soon to be officially divorced boyfriend. As luck would have it, things don't always go as planned in Indy's life and she finds herself single and looking for fun. What's more fun then having something casual with the flirty, gorgeous Griffin? However there's more to this playboy than his public image and she soon finds herself fighting feelings that aren't exactly one sided. Add an unexpected pregnancy and two stubborn people who aren't so sure what to do when things go off course, and you have quite the roller coaster.
I loved this book and read it in 24 hours. The writing is awesome and runs very smoothly. I enjoyed the characters, even when they weren't being the most likeable, and the story line was filled with everything you'd hope from a good romance. I wanted to know everything about them and was disappointed it was over. There were parts that were a little predictable or clique but it didn't make it any less enjoyable, and without those parts it wouldn't have worked as well as it did. This is really a book you can get lost in.
