The first time I met Chase Parker, I didn’t exactly make a good impression.
I was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant, leaving a message for my best friend to save me from my awful date.
He overheard and told me I was a bitch, then proceeded to offer me some dating advice.
So I told him to mind his own damn business—his own tall, gorgeous, full-of-himself damn business—and went back to my miserable date.
When he walked by my table, he smirked, and I watched his arrogant, sexy ass walk back to his date.
I couldn’t help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room.  Of course, he caught me on more than one occasion, and winked.
When the gorgeous stranger and his equally hot date suddenly appeared at our table, I thought he was going to rat me out.
But instead, he pretended we knew each other and joined us—telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about our fake childhood.
My date suddenly went from boring to bizarrely exciting.
When it was over and we parted ways, I thought about him more than I would ever admit, even though I knew I’d never see him again.
I mean, what were the chances I’d run into him again in a city with eight million people?
Then again…
What were the chances a month later he’d wind up being my new sexy boss?

Review
 
You can never go wrong with a book written by Vi Keeland. This author knows how to work a sense of humor into her stories mixed with a deep meaning behind the character's lives.
Chase and Reese meet under very peculiar circumstances, he ends up saving her from a disastrous date and they go their separate ways. But as luck will have it that's not the end for these two, their paths keep crossing in the funniest of ways and thanks to Bossman, Reese gets the job of her dreams at his company.
Chase wants Reese, desires her in the deepest of ways, the problem is she's not an easy target and will not risk her job for just a sexy rump between the sheets with her boss, no matter how attracted he is.
While the banter from the very beginning, as well as the chemistry between Chase and Reese is off the charts hot, their story has a deeper meaning behind the sensual foreplay. These are two characters that lived through life changing experiences, that come with some baggage, and that are trying their best to put their pasts behind and live life the way it was intended. While I felt bad for Reese and what she went through, it was Chase's back story that got a hold of my heart and squeezed tight. I can't even imagine to go through something like what he went through.
While Chase is a delicious piece of salted caramel cheesecake on the outside, on the inside he's a fresh warmed croissant. A seductive devil with a heart of gold. 
While I loved and devoured every single word of this book, I would've liked to see a bit more feeling towards the end, a bit more of emotion from both characters, but specially from Chase since he was the one coming from a bigger shock.
All and all this is another solid hit for Ms. Keeland, well written, and one that contains the winning characteristics I'm accostumed to when it comes to her stories, humor, sensuality, unpredictability, and overall captivating.
Thank you for the chance to read and review this beauty Vi, until next time!

 Synopsis

I hate his cocky, overconfident smirk and the way every woman in the office drools over him. I hate the irresistible way he fills out his suit and his manwhore ways. I hate his tempting touch and the way he makes me want to break all the rules. His Clark Kent Glasses, his cheesy sense of humor, his animalistic desire to have me—on my desk, against the filing cabinet, spread out across the conference table.

I hate that he's my number one competition and if we're caught, I lose it all. And most of all, I hate that he's off-limits and I just can't stay away.

Quinn
I’d say I’m down on my luck, but that’s an understatement. I’m flat on my ass. Homeless, hungry and in hiding with my little sister at the age of twenty-one, I’ve never been so desperate. I’ve hit rock bottom when I get an offer I can’t refuse. Sell my body to save my sister? There’s nothing I won’t do to keep her safe. I make the rules and I’m not afraid to defend myself if this rich guy crosses the line. But once I see beneath his cold, calculating façade, the lines aren’t so clear anymore.
Andrew
She’s an intoxicating mix of tough and vulnerable I’ve never known before. This homeless woman who fits right into my upper-class world is running from someone powerful, and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her. But Quinn isn’t meant to be controlled, so I’m forced to choose between owning her and loving her. I’ve finally met my match, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make her truly mine.


 
 
Review
 
 This has to be one of my favorite books by Brenda Rothert.

This story captures the reader's attention and won't let go until the final word has been read. Not only is the storyline superb, but the two very strong, compelling characters and the journey that unites their lives pull at your heartstrings and won't let go.

Andrew is a self made millionaire who doesn't have time for relationships and who appears to not even want them. Even though he appears strong he's still keeps the death of his father and the pain that loss left behind close to his heart. The moment he meets Quinn he knows he met his match, she won't obey his rules like all the other women he's been with, she's fierce, something that attracts him about her immediately.

Quinn has to be one of my favorite female characters ever. Her strength, her devotion to her little sister, her selflessness, and her take no prisoners attitude, make her a force to be reckoned with. She has big secrets that she must protect in order to save her sister, in order to save herself, and she's willing to do whatever it takes to keep them buried.

Andrew and Quinn's relationship is a slow, sensual dance, the author gives us a chance to get to know these characters as individuals before they become a couple. Little by little her story starts to reveal itself and I love Andrew's protectiveness, his compassion, and the fact that even when he doesn't know the whole story behind Quinn he doesn't judge her for the decisions she made, on the contrary, it causes great admiration towards her.

Quinn's bravery opened my eyes to some things that us as humans tend to see every day and sometimes ignore. Sometimes we forget that every person out there has a story we know anything about, that we all have a hunger inside of us that keep us fighting for what we think is fair, that the clothes we wear do not represent the type of person we are, that the sacrifices we often make are not always a waste of our lives.  This was simply a heartfelt story, told beautifully through the eyes of two imperfectly, but perfect for each other, characters that would leave you wanting more.

-Emily-

They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. I say that’s the biggest lie ever, as does the positive pregnancy test sitting on my bathroom counter.

It was supposed to be a one night. A mutual agreement of shared pleasure, and passion, but now it's turned into so much more than that.

So much so that there is no way I can run from the future thats growing deep inside of me.

Still I'm not cut out to be a mom and I can't do this alone.

-Jasper-

Her memory is all I can feel and see in my mind. I want her, and I'll do whatever I can to find her and make her mine again.

It’s on the night that our parents announce their union of marriage that I find out the woman I slept with in Vegas is not only my new step sister but also carrying my unborn child.

Her insecurities are clear as day. She's afraid to be a mom, and even more afraid that I don't want her or the baby and she's wrong, so wrong.

However, finding out she is having my baby, just makes things that much more simple because now I can claim her as my own.

She can try and run from me, even hide but, I'm still going to do whatever I can to prove to her just how much I want her and my unborn baby.

Can Emily let go of her insecruties and see that she is more than fit to be a mother, or will her and Jasper forever be seperated by her fears?

Emily might be ready to end things, but Jasper's just getting ready to claim what's rightfully his.

-No one in this book is related by blood. And this isn’t a “daddy book” It’s a stepbrother turned dad book. This is a full length novel with a HEA, that contains NO cheating.-

Spotlight #Review I Saw You by Elena M. Reyes

Add to Your TBR: http://bit.ly/1RJiXhx



Synopsis

Success brought fame.
With fame came money.
And money brought every single wh**e to worship at his feet.
Chester Green has it all living the coveted life as rock’s hottest front man—traveling, partying, and in every city, burying himself between the thighs of a groupie or two. He gorged on the perks for more than a decade until life became dull, and the taste of a woman became bland on his tongue. Nothing excited him. Nothing, until the day life literally crashed into him.
Arianna Garcia is tough, fiery, and doesn’t back down or fall sway to his charms. She isn’t a groupie, making the hunt so much harder and the rewards so much sweeter. His money and fame mean nothing to her.
All he wanted was to relax and release some pent up tension.
Now all he wants is her.
The chase is on.
Review
Elena Reyes promised hotness and she certainly delivered with I Saw You.

Let me start by saying that this book contains one of the things I look for more in a story, a strong heroine. I'm sick and tired of reading stories of weak women who are waiting for the alpha to rescue them. Not Arianna Garcia though, this girl is a fireball, she's successful, with a good head on her shoulders, a woman who loves her family and someone who is not afraid to put herself first. I loved her, her need to make something of herself made her more likable and real to me, and that's exactly why she's the perfect mate for Chester.

Chester Greene, Mr. playboy rockstar, has been around the block more than a few times and as he gets older he realizes that he's looking for something more meaningful than a one night stand with a groupie. When he meets Arianna sparks flight immediately, but she's not your ordinary girl, she won't give it up easily, she respects herself too much.

And then there's nasty Ashley, she's Chester's best friend since childhood who's in love with him and will do anything in her power to keep who she thinks is her man.

While they were a few occasions when I wanted to ring Chester's neck for not waking up and seeing the kind of snake Ashley was, I understood his reasons for putting up with her. She was his childhood friend, his sister almost, and I guess he didn't want to admit to himself that Ashley, the sweet girl he rescued when they were innocent kids was behind all the nastiness that kept him from becoming one with Arianna.

I have to say that I'm not one to go for books about rockers, not because I have anything against them, but because in my experience as a reader not too many authors know how to bring them to life in a realistic way. I think Elena did a great job bringing Chester and his band members into the spotlight, she not only let us into their professional life but also into their personal lives, allowing us to see that not all is fun and games when it comes to living that life day after day. The author definitely gave us some steamy sexy times between Chester and Arianna, their chemistry explosive, yet the tenderness between them was always present.

I truly enjoy this book and if you like hot rockers with a good sense of humor, a heroine you can relate too and and evil witch you want to smack over and over, this is your story.
