Billionaire Undown- Travis by J.S. Scott

Billionaire Undone ~ Travis by J.S. Scott
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

"the Chronicles of Narnia series was one of my favorite. I remember looking in every closet we had trying to find a secret door so I could take Kade and Mia away somewhere..."

Um I think I feel in love with Travis more than anything. Billionaire Undone is an example with no matter how brilliant a man could be women will always be smarter! ;-)

Ally and Travis have worked together in their own version of tension for over four years when the one thing keeping things at a distance no longer exist. Billionaire Undone is the perfect name as Travis slowly unravels as the book goes on. Without the ability to be indifferent its fun to watch hes hard exterior break down.

The growth of emotions and the twist and turns make this book worth its price and I would recommend it. Im not sure if its a quick read or I was just excited to find out whats next but def take a peak!

Mail Order Groom By Cindy Flores Martinez

Mail Order Groom

By Cindy Flores Martinez

June 23 – July 11

Book Promotions by Literary Nook

Mail-Order Groom, a debut romantic comedy novel by Cindy Flores Martinez, was inspired by the author’s own Polish ancestry and is based on her screenplay and movie project of the same title, which she shopped around Hollywood, New York, and other parts of the world.

A sweet romance about an American woman who marries a stranger from Poland after her fiancé leaves her right before the wedding.

Lisa is about to marry her first real love and have the wedding of her dreams, but her world is shattered when she finds her fiancé, Jeff, in the arms of another woman. When he calls the wedding off, Lisa is heartbroken.

In a twist of fate, she meets Krzysztof Zielinski from Poland on Mail-Order-Grooms.Com. He needs to marry an American woman so that he can stay in America, and he’s willing to pay money for it. His reason for needing to stay is what tugs at Lisa’s heart and convinces her to say “I do” to him. After all, it’s going to be strictly a business deal. She won’t even have to live with him, and marrying another man would be the perfect revenge on Jeff.

Lisa races to the altar with her stand-in groom, but she soon learns that she actually does have to live with him. Things become even more complicated when she finds herself falling for him, and he’s not planning to stay in America forever. Will Lisa’s heart break all over again or will she find love and happiness in the end?

Amazon - Goodreads- 

“Lisa?” Mom, AKA Helen, strode toward me boasting a pale pink mother-of-the-bride dress, matching clutch bag, and stylish blonde hairdo. “I didn’t realize you were already here.”

Dad, whose name was Harold, looked spiffy in a suit and tie.

My heart leapt at the sight of them.

Mom’s face was seized by awe. “Oh, Lisa, you look…” Her radiant stare devoured my dress.

“Stunning.” Dad was equally engulfed.

I fumbled with my bouquet. “Thank you.” They hadn’t seen my dress before except in a blurry picture that I had sent them on the day I bought it. I had wanted it to be a surprise to everyone. “You both look good too.” I admired them from head to toe.

Mom’s eyes grew misty. “I mean it, honey. I don’t think I have ever seen you look as beautiful as you do right now.”

Dad nodded, unable to speak.

Why did they have to pick that moment of all moments to be such wonderful parents?

“So, what’s going on?” asked Mom. “What did you mean when you said you weren’t going to marry Jeff? You were only kidding, right?” The worry lines on her forehead rivaled the worry in her voice.

Dad shot a confused glance toward the empty seats in the sanctuary. “Where are all of his guests?”

Chloe squished her thick eyebrows together. “You’re not going to marry Jeff?”

Zoey spotted Krzys waiting where Jeff was supposed to be. “Who is that man in there?”

I took a deep breath and mustered courage. Even though I had already told Mom and Dad what I was about to say over the phone, saying it face to face seemed so much more difficult. “Mom, Dad,” my heart started beating faster, “it’s like I told you before, I’m not going to marry Jeff today. I’m going to marry a man named Krzysztof Zielinski instead.”

Silence hung in the air.

Hooked from the synopsis i was really curious at what Mail Order Groom was going to bring to the table. An interesting story with some unexpected twist and terns. 

Mail Order Groom was able to entertain me with the story live and def falls within the romanic of the romantic comedy theme.

Overall a good book thats worth reading. Curious to see what else the author has written.

The obvious barriers between the couple proved to be realistic and came across in the novel just was unable to truly enjoy every portion.

Taken with You by @shannonstacey

Taken with You by Shannon Stacey
(Kowalski Family #8)
Published by: Carina Press
Publication date: March 25th 2014
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Synopsis:

Hailey Genest has seen most of her friends marry and have babies, and she’s happy for them, but it was a lot easier before she hit forty. She’s spent her entire life in Whitford, Maine, and if she hasn’t found her Prince Charming by now, she has to accept she’s probably not going to. When a new friend suggests they go on an adventure and embrace being single, Hailey agrees.

Surviving in the woods is game warden Matt Barnett’s idea of a relaxing vacation. But when he meets two women in need of help, he leads them back to safety – a task that proves more fun than expected, thanks to a certain hot blonde. He can’t resist pushing her buttons, even though she’s made it clear that the rugged, outdoorsy type just isn’t for her.

Hailey is glad to see the back of her tempting-tour-guide-slash-pain-in-the-ass. When he shows up in her life again, she’s determined to avoid him, no matter how good he looks in his uniform. But that’s easier said than done in Whitford, especially when he’s renting the house right next door…

Goodreads: Amazon: B&N: 

Taken with You by Shannon Stacey follows the Kowalski series with Hailey and Matt. Not only have i been a fan of the series but i always love to see how authors of long series are able to continue to connect past characters and still bring something new. I love Hailey, i love how she banters with Mike and on her own a strong character. 

You feel their chemistry immediately and only can hold on as the story unfolds. Both Mike and Hailey feel like they have reasons to stay away from each other, just a question on whats going to win brains or hearts.

Polite conversation and gracious manners wouldn't benefit her in a world of raunchy innuendoes and vulgar requests. Country club attitudes didn't belong in private chat rooms and back room parlors. Rated M for Mature Due to strong language and sexual content, this material is not suitable for readers under 18+ M/F, F/F, M/F/F, Bondage Divorced, unemployed and on the verge of bankruptcy, Megan Matthews is desperate for quick cash. When a friend suggests the world of video sex chat, Megan is forced to decide. Can she trade gracious, country club conversations for raunchy innuendos and vulgar requests? When you've spent your entire life playing by the rules, breaking them can be sinfully delicious.

Teaser

"I didn't want to be responsible for stealing your innocence." "You can't steal something I willingly give." "I know that now, but more than anything, I wanted to shield you from me, from the industry, from worldly corruption. You're everything I'll never be, Megan." "But you're everything I want to be," she whispered. Scooting closer, she wrapped her fingers in his hair. "You're generous, kind hearted, loving, and honest. You're gentle yet aggressive, bold yet secretive. I didn't tell you how I felt about you because I didn't think I was your type." "You're too good for me." "And you for me." His heart cartwheeled. If this wasn't love, then it didn't exist.

 Debut author with something kick a$$ to say! I was consumed with this book from the prologue. Breaking outside of the norm in the first few words you meet a mother and a widow packing up memories and embarking on a new journey of her life. 

Than you just need to keep buckle up and get ready for the ride of A Reason to Breathe!

Action, hotness, fear and sarcasm, what more is there to want. 

As an avid reader very few books in my opinion follow a guideline linked with reality or covers all demographics. I like that Jenn is older and a person who continues to get up as life hands her some rotten luck. Chapter One the story goes from oh okay cool to ummm what, a killer with an obsession throws unpredictable situations into the mix. Weird obsessed killed and hot white knight whats not to love.

Great first book and awesome read. I love a story that i become so obsessed with i don't want to put down. I will easily have this in my re-read pile to keep embracing the characters and enter their world.

I recommend you pick up this book and get easy to continue to have great things come from CP Smith!

Walk Into Me by Jill Prand

I know I will never get over her. Watching her walk away with him ripped my heart out and left it bleeding on the floor. But I can’t hide anymore. I have to face my life without her. ~ Brad

Brad has been in love with Lisa for as long as he can remember. One night years ago they took each other’s virginity but while it was the best night of Brad’s life, for Lisa it was a way to forget about Bobby. Or was it?

Brad re-emerges right when Lisa needs him most. Only Brad knows everything about her and when Lisa’s insecurities come to the surface the shoulder Lisa needs is Brad’s. Now Brad has to decide if he has it in him to trust his heart.   

Amazon * Barnes & Noble * Smashwords

i REALLLY tried, i tried to like Lisa but i couldn't. I spent the first half attempting to like Lisa and the second half praying for Brad to move on. 

First let me mention i haven't read book one, and though i was able to follow along fine i feel like if i had more history ill like Lisa.
Lisa is stuck between Bobby they guy she has loved since high school and Brad her childhood best friend.
I feel her pain, stuck between two great guys, but knowing she's being selfish and keeping Brad along for the ride and pulling the friendship card whenever he gets close to moving on is frustrating. She's not being fair to either men. Story is written from multiple POV which i always love when done well, which Walk Into Me is. Your able to follow whose speaking without having to pause and back track, that deserves a shot of Johnny, that is not an easy task.
Story ends on a cliff hanger which was one of the most interesting things for me, the what happens next in the Soap of Lisa and the Double B's.
Overall i would recommend reading book one first than book two. Maybe ill do that and appreciate Lisa more but being annoyed and frustrated with her character took some of the happiness away for me.

Finding Us by @HarperBentley

: Finding Us :

Jag Jensen and Ellen Love had been best friends their whole lives until he turned thirteen and started noticing girls his own age, but that didn’t mean he stopped watching out for eleven-year-old Ellen. By his senior year in high school, baseball had taken the front seat in his life, with a scholarship to college and a pro career looming on the horizon, when sophomore Ellen caught his attention and they struck up their friendship again. Although Ellen wanted more, Jag didn’t want to drag her into what he knew would be a crazy life, but love has a way of deciding one’s future, and eventually they became a couple. Ellen followed him to California as he began his pro career, but his wild and hectic lifestyle screwed everything up. 

Now Jag is lost, realizing he’s never been without his best friend in his life. Learning to live without Ellen doesn’t settle well with him, so while trying to remain at the top of his career, he also wants to get his girl back, which proves to be more difficult than he thought it’d be. Will Ellen give him another chance or does that sort of thing only happen in the sappy romance novels she always used to read? Jag hopes she’s willing to try again as he puts his heart on the line for the woman he knows will always be his forever and a day.

Jag, Jag, Jag! One of the best things about this book was its POV. Jag is the narrator, though sometimes hearing his thoughts makes me shake my head (he is a guy) i liked the idea of a male POV. Jag and Ellen have known each other their whole lives before they take on a dating relationship. Jag is trying to handle a new pro career and Ellen at the same time….no surprise he fails miserable. Not your cliche book of love and lost and i was definitely intrigued on what off the wall idea Jag would come up with next. 

I didn't read book one so i only have Jag's side of the story so i recommend reading book one Discovering Us eventually. Be warned, this book leaves you on the worst kind of cliff hanger, you know the one your reading a high emotional scene and it says…you are the weakest link GoodBye! 

I want to know what happens. Overall, well written though Jag reminds me how stupid some of the things guys think of are (unfortunately realistic). I recommend reading book one either before or after reading Finding Us. 

Ill say give the books a read
