Gift Wrapped by Karla Doyle

23247211 After catching her boyfriend cheating the week before Christmas, Brinn is seriously lacking in holiday spirit. So when she looks into the eyes of a last-minute shopper after closing on Christmas Eve, she’s sarcastic rather than sympathetic. But Brinn is ever the good girl and her conscience wins out. She offers the handsome stranger ten minutes to select a gift and ends up with a present of her own—a date. On Christmas Eve.

Davis hates Christmas. Especially this year, since a neighborhood heist liberated him of his hard-earned belongings and the few gifts he’d purchased. But the robbery led him to a cute store manager with a sense of humor, smokin’ body and no plans for the evening. Mistletoe might be in order after all.

Their Christmas Eve date is like gift-wrapped, sexy satisfaction. But the best gifts keep on giving, and one naughty night may not be enough—for either of them.
 












I love Holiday Romance stories! Every year around this time I am on the hunt for my next favorite Christmas love story. I found it early this year! Gift Wrapped was absolutely perfect! I loved this book so much and it was exactly what I needed! 

This was a story about two people who meet unexpectedly and hit it off right away. They embark on a short term fling, only to have deeper feelings grow. They then must decide what to do about their situation. There were a few parts that were a little predictable but at the same time, that's what made this book so great. There was lots of funny moments, witty banter, dirty thoughts ;) Sexy hot love scenes, a sweet romance, a hot dirty talkin hero, a funny and snarky heroine, and just perfection. This book is probably one of the best holiday romances I've read! I haven't read anything else by this author, but I will definitely be looking in to her other books! Brinn and Davis were so good together and I was sad when it was over! This is one that will definitely become a reread and will be staying on my kindle!

REVIEW: Covert (Chicago Angels) by G.K. Moore

22392229Covert by G.K. Moore
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Book Description: 

Alessandro is the unwilling heir of a Chicago crime family. Intent on leaving the life set out for him, he decides to run as fast and as far away as possible. His plans crumble when one girl crash lands in his life. He should hate the daughter of his father’s mistress, but it’s near impossible when he finds that they are alike in more ways than one.

Olivia grew up watching men walk in and out of her mother’s life. When one man finally decides to stay, she learns that crime lords don’t leave until someone’s dead. Olivia’s salvation comes from the person she least expects: his son.
 
Six years later, Olivia and Alessandro are reunited when her life is threatened. If time has proven one thing, it’s that repeating their parents’ mistakes seems inevitable.

In a world where friendship is a luxury and love a death sentence, two unlikely lovers find each other only to be separated by their cruel reality.



     




REVIEW: Keystrokes by Lisa Marie

23496732Keystrokes by Lisa Marie
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

Book Description: 

What if you won the opportunity of a lifetime?
The chance to go from nothing to something
practically overnight?

Farrow Connoley is practically a celebrity – online.
She runs a successful blog, with thousands of followers.


In reality, she leads a boring, unremarkable life.

Entering a contest, one lonely January night,
brings about changes she dreamed of,things she never thought possible.


Like meeting Kasen Wells, a reluctant movie star,
struggling with the fame he never wanted.

Craving an easy going, normal life, will he walk away from it all?
Should Farrow embrace her fifteen minutes,
or cling to the mediocrity of her everyday existence?
Or will fate intervene, making their choices for them?

BLOG ANNOUNCEMENT!

Recently we were talking and came to the conclusion that we wanted to do a little more with the blog. We love reviewing and posting cover reveals and promos for books but to be honest, we don't get a lot of interaction. 

As further honesty, even though we're pretty plain spoken in our reviews about our likes and dislikes (and loves) of the books we review, we're actually shy. It's a lot easier to discuss a book instead of posting our thoughts and opinions on other (book related) topics. 

So the way this is going to work is we're going to start doing a weekly conversational post. Each week you'll get a post from one of us on something book related that's been on our minds, and you never know when one of us will be in the giving mood and have a giveaway of that week's book on our minds. 

The weeks that we personally don't post, we're hoping to have guest posts from some of our favorite authors. 

We're calling this our SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT. 

To start us out, Lindsay is going to be blogging about a book she's currently reading. 

Just to keep you on your toes, we'll occasionally have giveaways. So you'll have to keep an eye on our posts to find them. ;) 




Affliction by River Savage!

We want to welcome you to our release day post for Affliction by River Savage. 

Normally Nikki and Lindsay review books together, mostly because way back in the beginning of the blog, they couldn't never agree on who would get to read what books. They have very similar tastes in reading material, so they compromised and decided to buddy read the books. Joint reviews were a happy accident when they started debating the books they read. 


While Lindsay and Nikki did read Affliction together, due to the recent holiday, travel, family obligations and scheduling conflicts, they were unable to sit down and do a joint review together in time for this post. So, today, we have Lindsay's solo review and we'll have their joint review ASAP. 


So, without further ado, we bring you Affliction by River Savage!

COVER REVEAL for Sweet Recovery by Jessie Lane!

He broke her heart… now he has to pick up the pieces.

Lucas Young met the woman meant for him when they were just children. He spent years pushing the sweet, innocent Ginny away for one reason or another instead of claiming what was his, breaking her heart in the process.

Five years later, he runs into Ginny, only he no longer recognizes the person she has become. The good-hearted, free-spirited girl he loved is now a shell of who she used to be, living the sort of life she never wanted. And Lucas is driven to find out why.

However, uncovering Ginny’s secrets will prove to be dangerous for them both.

Will he be able to piece back the broken woman who used to love him with every fiber of her being? Or did he push her away for good?
