the suttonville sentinel series closes out perfectly with the perfectly imperfect match .  dylan dennings has a plan. finish high school, get drafted, go to the minor leagues and end up in the majors. he's a machine when it comes to practicing. his singular focus is baseball. not girls, especially not after the debacle with alyssa. he's going to focus on training and on the summer camp that the suttonville sentinels are hosting for young kids interested in baseball. he's not supposed to be distracted by one of his campers' older sister. and the fact that he keeps managing to piss her off without intending to is definitely not part of his plan. it's just around her it's like his brain and his mouth aren't on the same wavelength. there's just something about lucy foster that has him off-kilter. lucy knows she's quirky. she doesn't run in the popular crowd at school. she's obsessed with chickens and her best friend's chicken farm. sh...

i've read andie christopher's miami-based series and have really enjoyed those novels, so when i saw that biker b*tch  was available for request i jumped at it even though i'm on the record as having issues with motorcycle club romances. i don't usually comment on the level of edit on galley proofs, because i know that they are not the final versions of the manuscripts, but in this case it has to be said that i hope this was an early version and that the final version will have some substantive editing because there were copious errors and misspellings, but even beyond that it was clear that the manuscript still needed some tightening. the basic story is that skyler and travis grew up together and have basically been in love with each other forever without admitting it. when skyler turns eighteen her life goes to hell. her father is arrested for being a bad guy, the leader of a motorcycle club known for its illegal transactions, for bringing the drug trade to their ...

the second book in julie hammerle's north pole series,  artificial sweethearts , introduces us to tinka foster, who quite frankly is kind of an emotional mess. her entire childhood has been overshadowed by her brother's accidental death when she was an infant. and she's spent all her time avoiding confrontation because she can't handle people being unhappy with her. the problem with this approach is that people are still unhappy and this makes tinka even more unhappy. home for the summer after a year away from her parents, everything feels wrong. especially when her parents surprise her with a new hometown, her old best friend who she isn't currently speaking to, and a golf instructor/potential love interest that she isn't interested in. ever since she went away to boarding school she's felt out of control, and all these changes make that sensation feel worse. she expected to come home and settle back into the routine of making her parents happy. but now...

the second part in the uninhibited series, unbound , goes full on sexy with cari and jasper. as the danger to cari escalates, so does the sexual tension. when things reach the breaking point, jasper brings cari to her knees only the way he can. and if he has a little help from his friend, jackson, well, all the better. this is a quick, very hot read. it continues the stalker story without giving away where things will end, but also ramps up the tension to the mystery and the tension between cari and jasper to steam-worthy levels. out of the three parts, this is probably the sexiest and the hottest. nothing wrong with that, in my book. **unbound will publish on july 10, 2017. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (brazen) in exchange for my honest review.

in anomaly , josie's worldview changed entirely. she learned she had the ability to push and retract and affect the reality around her. she learned that when it came to fighting for her life, she could kill someone. she learned that she had greater reserves of strength that she could have ever imagined. and in enigma  it's going to take all those reserves to battle the mole that is destroying the oculi world from within. it's not just josie and her family that are in danger, it's the entire oculi world. and the problem is that it's impossible to know who to trust, especially since oculi have the ability to shift heir appearance with a push of their thoughts. and if all that weren't problematic enough, she also has to hide her relationship with reid. especially given that trainers are not supposed to get involved with their trainees. except she has no one else she can really trust. and it's already hard enough to trust him. so staying away from him i...
