Avoiding Mr. Right by C.J. Ellison

Synopsis:

Carla Johnson thinks issuing orders to a lover will keep her heart safe and leave her in charge of her own destiny. Afraid for Carla’s future, her best friend Heather implores her to change her self-centered ways, handing her a list of love life mistakes to steer clear of:

1. Casual Sex
2. Friends with Benefits
3. Avoidance of Intimacy

Carla ignores the list—unwilling to face she might have a commitment problem. Until she invites a co-worker to her place one night. She instantly regrets the hum-drum sexual encounter and discourages the accountant from pursuing her.

So you may remember that I read Vanilla on Top a while back. That was the first book in the A Walk on the Wild Side series. I am going to be honest...I am loving these books. There were several times in this book when my jaw dropped to the floor and it took me FOREVER to pick it back up.

I was not looking forward to this book b/c I didn't really care for Carla in the first book. I was not really sure about her in the beginning of this book either. She comes across as being annoying and kinda slutty but as you read you get to see that she really wants to make something of herself and cares about her career. She also donates her time and energy to a great cause so you forgive some of the abbrassiveness you see at first. Carla is very clear that she is not going to have a relationship with Andrew. He is a "boring" accountant and she wants some adventure. 

Andrew has been watching Carla for a while and can tell that there is more to her than meets the eye (yes I love Transformers!). He realizes that even she doesn't know what she really wants. He works really hard to make her realize that he is not just some boring accountant and they can actually have a VERY satisfying relationship!

I totally love Andrew. I think he is awesome and I don't see how Carla resisted for so long. He is demanding but at the same time he is really sweet and just wants her to be happy. I TOTALLY recommend you reading these books. I laughed a lot and like I said MOUTH ON THE FLOOR! I will honestly never look at our accountant the same way again.

I am going to eventually get around to checking out C.J.'s VV Inn series. Barnes and Noble has the first 3 books for $5.99. I have only seen good comments on the series and I feel like it could be really good. 

Buy The Books:

Undeniable By Madeline Sheehan

I am actually really nervous.....

Ok...so this book was recommended on some of the blogs that I follow...after reading the synopsis and some of the reviews I am REALLY nervous about reading it.  I have not seen a bad review but I don't know if I can get past the age difference...so this weekend I have a TON of books to read but I think I am going to make sure that I get to this one. So let me know if you have read it and what you thought...I listen to what others say and think (otherwise I would not have bought this book).

Synopsis:

Warning: This is not a typical, sappy love story. This is an all-consuming, soul-crushing, tear-your-heart-into-pieces story. It’s intense, gritty and raw, dark and disturbing, and it doesn’t happen overnight. This is an epic love story that knows no boundaries and has no time limits. It grows and develops—with hurt, sacrifice, and heartache—over the span of a lifetime. Eva Fox is the princess of the Silver Demons Motorcycle Club. Growing up with bikers in the club lifestyle is all that she knows. When she’s a young girl, Eva meets the reason for her existence. Deuce West is the sexy, biker bad-ass of the Hell’s Horsemen Motorcycle Club. Like Eva, he was born and raised in the club—but that’s where the similarities end. Their first meeting is innocent, but as Eva matures into a woman, their chance reunions evolve into a fit of lust and love. Fate continues to bring them together time and time again, but their twisted journey is filled with pain, betrayal, and bloodshed that could tear them apart. Eva sees in Deuce what he cannot see in himself—a man worthy of love—and Eva spends her lifetime proving to him that her undeniable love is the one thing he can’t live without. This is Eva and Deuce’s story. It wasn’t easy. Nothing worth doing ever is. And love is worth everything

PS This is my first Kindle book...I feel like I am cheating on B&N!!

Damaged by H M Ward

Synopsis:

Life sucks. And, as soon as Sidney picks up the pieces something always knocks her back onto her butt. It's never pretty, but this time is different. This time pretty isn't even the right word.

Peter is the personification of perfection. It's like he fell off his angel perch in purgatory, because let's face it--any guy that hot has got to be naughty. He was probably sent here to ruin her life.

Peter is beyond beautiful with his sexy blue eyes, dark hair, and toned body. Add in his charming wit and Peter is everything Sidney ever wanted in a man, but when things get hot and heavy Peter shows her the door. Sidney takes the walk of shame and leaves. It's the end of the worst blind date ever. Her life couldn't possibly reach higher levels of suckage, but it does.

The next morning everything comes crashing down. The insanely hot guy from last night, the one that saw her half naked, is teaching at the front of the class room.

Review:

So this book started out pretty funny. You have the awkward first meeting and then the even more awkward moment when they realize that Peter is her teacher.  You get to see how they try to have a professional relationship but basically they would be great friends if circumstances were different.  You also get to see that Sidney is fighting more demons than you first realize. You also get to see how Peter is too. 

I liked this book. I am ready to see what happens in the next book. I like Peter and I like that he realizes his mistakes and tries to make up for them. There were also some seriously funny parts. One scene had me literally LOLing to the point of bothering the other person in the room.  It was also just jacked up enough for me to be saying WTF??? Are people really like that?  I would give this book a 3.9.  Go get it and read it...the next book Damaged 2 is coming out on June 24.

My love for Ethan Blackstone

I put this up on our main page, but have to share the love with my Adults Only page. The Blackstone Affairs. Reading it right now. I am on the second book called All In. Ethan is absolutely perfect. The description of him, exactly down my alley. Sunny likes the blonde hair, blue eyed country boys. But I have a spot in my heart for those dark hair, green or blue eye guys. So the only man that compares to Ethan...David Gandy. Yes, he is by far the #1 book boyfriend for everyone. I don't care. He can take me away to London anytime.

Will have my review out this weekend. Be on the lookout!

Vanilla On Top by C.J. Ellisson

I had never read anything by C.J. Ellisson before this book and I will tell you that I am going to be putting her on my authors to read. This book was awesome. I would recommend it.

Heather is very shy and basically lets everyone walk all over her. She has been doing her boss' job for the last couple of years along with her own. She is not bitter towards her boss...she actually likes him and does not want anyone to find out she has been doing his work. She gets talked (forced) into speed dating with her best friend. She meets Tony and he takes a call during their 2 mins to get to know each other--HOW RUDE! Tony is a career driven guy who is always in control and wants to have someone tell him what to do just once. So Heather does...keep in mind Tony was "forced" into the speed dating too. Heather and Tony begin to work out a "relationship" only to find out that things are more complicated than they realize. I don't want to give anything else away so....GO GET THE BOOK AND READ IT! :)

I think I really liked Heather b/c she finally decides to just take charge and even though it is a struggle for her she realizes that she likes who she is when does it. You can tell that she is trying to figure out who she really wants to be as opposed to who she has become. Tony...sigh...I mean how can you not just sigh...love him. He made my list...I mean who wouldn't love him. I like that he sits back and lets Heather take control and tell him what to do. It is awesome. I love dual POV books and this is one. Again I would totally recommend this book.
