Winning Back Ryan by S.L Siwik

After a horrible day at work, I came home to find my boyfriend...in a curious position. After determining why he was unhappy, I, Anne Watson, decided to try and fix our broken relationship. My four closest male friends, however, had another idea. Revenge.  

**Content Warning: This book contains a sexual assault scene and mature material. ** 

Ramblings . . . 

Four guys and one girl...well what can i say she is one lucky girl, especially they are all her bestest friends. Who say male and female can't be just friends! well...obviously the story can't be that simple *wink wink* Do i need to say anymore about this book...surely that make you intrigued already. Well...It's a rollercoaster ride of friendship, relationship and listening to your true feelings.  I loved this book, it kind of took me down memory lane actually. I was once lucky to have 3 guys as very close/ bestest friends like Annie did, so i understand where she is going through and totally relate to the story but obviously Annie's story is more interesting than mine...lol...anyway let's focus back to this book. The book is full of laughter, banter and emotions. Having best friends from the opposite sex, you can say its different but then you can say its the same. You will see from Winning Back Ryan that its so much funny having guys as your best friends, everything is so much more carefree. It really shows the strong friendship between the 5 friends, always there for each other, no matter what the situations is, their bond is strong like super glue with deep understanding of one another. Annie's 4 amazing friends Max, Ben, Brian and George, all have different charming characteristics and play a different part in Annie's life.  

I'm sure you all would agree that it's impossible not to have some sort of feelings towards your bestest friend, especially it the opposite sex and they know the ins and outs of you better than yourself. The story shows how your bestest friend can hold back his own feels as long as he see her happy and how they don't force her to choose between friends or the boyfriend and even go behind her back just to protect her. Annie really is lucky enough to have the sweetest, caring and charming friends ever. They all decide to help Annie when she does to take revenge on her ex boyfriend because the way he cheated on her but she soon realised where her true feelings were all this time. Annie is probably a little selfish, not facing her feelings are or just annoying them because she treasure her friendship and to scare to see it will destroy it all if she takes that step. 

Obviously i can't give you all details as much i want to shout it out to you all...it will totally spoilt the book. It really is great book, love triangle, friendship, relationship, sexy banter...it truly is a joy to read.  Not a moment dull...once you start reading, you feel like you're another friend to them...

Cover Reveal ~ Kristen Proby: Loving Cara

Goodreads ~ Amazon  ~ Barnes & Noble

CHEMISTRY WAS NEVER THIS SEXY IN HIGH SCHOOL.

In her sizzling new series, USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby sets the stage for a passionate reunion under the breathtaking Montana sky.

Cara Donovan’s summer tutoring job is turning out to be a challenge—and not just because of her troubled twelve-year-old student. It’s his uncle Josh who’s the real problem. If problem is the word for an irresistibly cocky, muscle-bound rancher with a taste for tight Levi’s and shameless flirtation. . . .

Cara is nothing like the wallflower Josh King remembers good-naturedly teasing in high school. This Cara is gorgeous, confident, fun. From the moment the fiery teacher steps foot on his family’s Lazy K Ranch, the stubborn playboy is determined to corral her. So what happens when his luscious lover takes over the reins?

The first in a steamy trilogy, Kristen Proby’s enthralling novel is filled to the brim with one hardworking family’s triumphs and challenges, all the wild adventure of the modern West, and a whole lot of titillating fun.

EXCERPT:

“Where are your jeans?” Josh asks as he meets me at my car the following morning.

“These are jeans.” I pull my tote bag out of the car and walk toward the front door of his house. “Is Seth here yet?”

“No, he’ll be a few minutes. I have him feeding the dogs at the big house.”

“Okay.”

“Those are not jeans.” He’s scowling down at my denim shorts like they’re the devil incarnate.

“They’re denim.”

He narrows his chocolate eyes at me, but I see the humor there, and the butterflies take up residence in my belly again.

I love riling this guy up.

“Fine, they’ll have to do. Go ahead and get settled, Seth will be here in a minute. I have to ride out with a few of the guys to repair a fence, so I’ll see you at lunch time.” He pulls on some gloves and settles his green baseball cap on his head backwards again.

“You don’t wear cowboy hats?” I ask without thinking.

“Not usually. I have one, if you’d rather I wear it.” He smirks.

“No, just curious,” I mumble and head toward the house.

“Don’t leave before I get back. I have plans for you.”

He grins wide, winks, and saunters off toward the massive barn that sits between his house and the big house.

Well, isn’t that view nice? His Levi’s hug his ass perfectly and sit low on his hips, and as he walks I can see his buttocks and thighs flex.

Dear God, I’m lusting after a rancher.

Ramblings..

Holy moly...I was swept off to steamy fantasyland. God, I really enjoyed this book, one of the best paranormal romance I've read in a while. Swept away by a gust of wind right into the book. We were lucky enough to get our hands on this Arc, thank you Sharon! True to the author's word, it surely was full of steamy scenes...hot steamy scenes haha... Obviously there is so much more to the story...its full of action, mystery and adventure of self discovery into the unknown world.  

Nicole a strong, brave kick ass female with special powers that no-one knew part from her sisters. Which they work together at night and help those in aid from danger, until one night a shadow of a man saw her in action and got curious what she was. That's when Nicole and Gunna's world took another turn. Gunnar is sent on a mission, a tough, powerful warrior was sent to Nicole for a reason. 

Ahhh...I Love the chemistry between Gunnar and Nicole, they are so cute together. They had instant attraction, as time spent together so does the feeling. They are both sex on fire! You can feel the connection they have for one another throughout the journey and adventure they take upon.  How they develop and becoming possessive and protective of each other. I really feel the love for each together, at some point of the book i wanted to jump and scream to help i'm at desperate situations. 

Gunnar takes Nicole to the world that she's didn't know before vice versa Gunnar didn't know Nicole's breed existed. They both fight for the love of their kind, protecting and saving their friends from the dangerous outcome lying ahead. 

Loved the book, it was interesting all the way through til the end, the story capture you in with different character and mystery solving along the way. Really intriguing to read the next book in the series, the author builds up all loveable characters and leave you wanting more from them all. Can't wait for the next chapter of adventure in the fantasy world.

Bit about the lovely author Sharon Kay 

Sharon Kay was bitten early by the writing bug. At age twelve she wrote a short story, about a magic ring, that won a statewide contest. With her nose always in a book, she read the most novels for her age group in her local library’s summer reading program.

In her teens, writing took a back seat to fashion, as she was determined to find clothes different from what everyone else bought at the mall. And what she couldn’t find, she created. She learned to sew, worked in a fabric store after school, and spent her spare time with a needle in hand. Her black and orange prom dress is still one of her favorite creations.

She majored in apparel design in college, spending her summers working in costume shops and bridal boutiques. She worked for ten years in the Chicago garment industry, then switched her focus to apparel production logistics before becoming a stay at home mom.

Sharon lives in the Chicago area with her husband and son, and didn’t expect to write again. But Wicked Wind and the Solsti series formed in her head one weekend and refused to stay quiet until she put pen to paper. Her characters tend to keep her up at night, as they banter, fall in love, and slay endless varieties of power-hungry demons.

Into The Deep

by

Samantha Young

We were lucky enough to read an ARC for this and holy cow, it is one of THE books of the YEAR!! Check out our review next month on the blog tour ;)

Live young. Live hard. Love deep.

Charley Redford was just an ordinary girl until Jake Caplin moved to her small town in Indiana and convinced her she was extraordinary. Almost from day one Jake pulled Charley into the deep and promised he was right there with her. But when a tragic incident darkened Jake’s life he waded out into the shallows and left Charley behind.

Almost four years later Charley thinks she’s moved on. That is until she takes a study year abroad in Edinburgh and bumps into none other than Jake Caplin at a party with his new girlfriend. The bad-boy-turned-good attempts to convince Charley to forgive him, and as her best friend starts spending time with Jake’s, Charley calls a truce, only to find herself tumbling back into a friendship with him.

As they grow closer, the spark between them flares and begins playing havoc with their lives and relationships. When jealousy and longing rear their destructive heads, Charley and Jake struggle to come to grips with what they mean to one another.

And even if they work it out, there is no guarantee Charley will ever trust Jake to lead her back into the deep…
