From the Legal Affairs by Sawyer Bennett



This book is out now. An offshoot from the Legal Affairs series. This time we get to read Matt's point of view. I haven't finished the series yet, but I will get to it soon. Matt is a very interesting character and I bet this is going to be so much fun!

Coming Soon: Thrive



Another book series that I haven't finished yet, the Addicted series. Another sequel is coming out and I can't wait for it. Correction: I can't wait to read about the hot Loren Hale.

The Wild Side - R.K. Lilley



Oh wow! R.K. Lilley did it again. This book is not just another erotic story that doesn't have depth. This book is not the shallow erotic type. It has lots of inside story and complex characters that you will learn to love.

This book is an erotic, arousing yet romantic and heartfelt story of an older-mature guy and a young-mysterious woman. He is a recluse, while she is a social butterfly. He is cynical, while she is idealistic. He is a writer, while she is a reader. He's in his 40's, while she's in her early twenties. This is a story of how opposite's attract.

"She was young.  I was old.  
She was wild.  I was tame.  
What on earth were we doing here? 
How the hell would we ever fit into each other’s lives?  
The answer was simple and bleak."


Though the story is just short and fast paced, I felt the attraction between Dair and Iris. I loved Dair and the way Iris describes him makes it easy to assume that he's the older but still oh so hot type. He has a great body, a brilliant mind, an awesome voice and mostly a beautiful heart. Yet he doesn't know it. His self esteem is nonexistent. What with all that happened to him and how others treated him.

I also loved Iris. I felt for her. I feel her. I felt her heart break. She is mysterious yet you can relate to her. We don't get to read much about her mysterious life in this book, but hopefully in the sequel we get to know her.

I must really commend the author because not all can write effectively in another gender. She was able to convey the male point of view, Dair's view in an interesting and refreshing manner.

"Inside of every man lived an asshole, and that asshole had a strong dose of ‘I don’t give a damn.’ While the asshole inside of me was obviously alive and healthy, all of his doses of I don’t give a damn had clearly worn off. Instead, in its place, I felt.  I missed.  I craved.  I yearned."

This is the first book in The Wild Side series. Book 2 - Iris is coming out June 2014, while the next book Dair will be out on July 2014. I can't wait to read the sequel to Dair and Iris' story.

The Will - Kristen Ashely



“Small-minded fools are everywhere and those with the courage to be who they are often have to suffer them.” 

“It’s never too late to reach for happiness and no matter what life has done to you, it’s never too late to find it.” 

Took me a long time to finish the book as I started it on the way to my annual vacation, then I got caught up with work so I wasn’t able to write a review. I feel bad because I should’ve written it sooner so I could’ve given the book justice. It was so worth it. 

I loved the characters and the hero and heroine. The heroine may be uptight at first but she changed halfway through and I learned to love her. Jake is totally swoon-worthy, the perfect alpha-male-father figure. I loved all the kids. All throughout the book, I felt a sense of peace and contentment. I loved how the story was not so angst ridden, there were some, but it was perfect and realistic to the story. 

This is the second book I’ve read of Kristen Ashley and I must say that this will not be the last and I’m excited to read more from her. I’m loving her style of writing about alpha male characters and swoon worthy scenes. Her love scenes are not dirty and not too detailed. Her stories are realistic but dreamy at the same time. I like that there’s a tinge of angst but not too heavy. And most of all the stories are not shortchanged and are well played out. 

I cannot wait for the next book in this series. I’m not sure who’s it’s going to be but since I like all the primary and secondary characters I will definitely wait for it. I’m guessing it’s going to be Alyssa and Junior or Henry or Amond’s story or perhaps an older Con and Sofie.
