Kris Kringle is just an average guy living in the tiny town of North Pole, Maine where Christmas isn’t just a holiday—it’s a way of life. But not for Kris. He might be named after the big guy in red, but Kris is more Scrooge than Santa. 

Until he wakes up from a night of partying with his friends to find himself in possession of a Santa suit, a toy bag and a puppy. Kris soon discovers that he’s been relegated to Santa’s naughty list and there’s only one way to get his name removed....put on the suit and spread some cheer. 

Lucky for Kris every cloud has a silver snowflake and his quest to get off that list lands him in the arms of the woman he’s been lusting after for years. 

It takes a little magic, but Kris is about to get everything he didn’t even know he wanted for Christmas.

‘Tis the season for Christmas miracles... 

Having landed himself on Santa’s Naughty List, Nick Santos is given a chance at redemption.

But playing Secret Santa comes with some unexpected perks, like finally catching the eye of the woman who sparks his deepest desires, Vixen White. 

Vixen has no idea what’s come over Nick this holiday season, but his good deeds around town help her to remember the magic of Christmas, long forgotten. And his sexy grin and a searing, stolen kiss under mistletoe have her wishing her dream of being Naughty St. Nick’s one and only will finally come true. 

All she has to do...is believe.

REVIEW: Once Perfect by Cecy Robson

His life was never easy. Hers wasn’t supposed to be this hard. They come from different worlds, but fate lures them together in a way neither expected in Cecy Robson’s raw, steamy series debut—perfect for fans of Monica Murphy and J. Lynn.
 
Evelyn Preston’s future once looked perfect—until her wealthy father was caught in an embezzlement scandal and took his own life. Alone and struggling to pay her college tuition and bills, Evelyn finds a job as a waitress at the ultra-hip nightclub Excess, where she used to have more in common with the privileged private-school clientele than her fellow staff members. But something attracts her to the sexy six-foot-four bouncer and underground MMA fighter Mateo Tres Santos. Although they’ve led different lives, their troubled pasts bonds them in both survival and love.
 
Mateo is ex-army who wound up in prison for assaulting the man who harmed his sister. Now he’s feeling the same protective impulse for this petite blond waitress. When Evelyn experiences a panic attack at the club, Mateo comes to her rescue. And when Mateo is wounded shielding her from a brawl, Evelyn returns the favor and comes to his aid.
 
As their attraction intensifies, Mateo is determined to find out what nightmares are lurking in Evelyn’s past—even if that means tackling his own to save her.

ADRI'S REVIEW:

First of all I would like to thank NetGalley and Random House for providing us with a copy of this book so that we could bring you this review. 

Wow, what a powerful book. It hit on subjects that were triggers for me I won't lie, but I loved the way it was handled. The author Cecy did a fantastic job of handling it.

 Mateo is a sexy latino man who sacrifices himself for those he loves. Evelyn once had a perfect life... well from the outsiders point of view, but her world crumbled around her one day. The things that no one thought was that she was going to pick herself up, and make something of herself. Yes she has setbacks, but that is kind of expected when she starts to remember everything that has happened to her in the past. Life has hardened Mateo, but not to the point where he doesn't know how to love, its actually the opposite, he loves so much he sacrifices himself for it. But even with all his hardness he is gentle and sweet with the women in his life that he loves. Now it doesn't hurt that he is sexy, strong, and latin. 

I have to tell you all, I couldn't stop reading this book. I was so attached to it that I even read while I waiting in line at Wal-Mart, Toys R Us and the Post Office during Black Friday shopping.  

I definitely look forward to reading the next book in this series. Cecy Robson, is definitely going to be one of my new go to authors.

Happy Reading... Adri

REVIEW: Prima Donna by Laura Drewry

In USA Today bestselling author Laura Drewry’s witty, sizzling, and tender romance for readers of Jill Shalvis and Susan Mallery, a woman who can’t slow down discovers that the perfect guy is in hot pursuit. 
Even when her hair salon goes under and she’s on the brink of breaking, Regan Burke keeps her “I’m just fine” attitude. She’s had a tough life, coping with a difficult family and keeping her act together . . . barely. Right now, she just needs a job, any job, so she can pay her mother’s medical bills. It’s the exact wrong time for Carter Scott to come into her life—and to be so damn sexy, so distracting, and so determined to get close. 

Carter isn’t looking for anything serious—his heart belongs to the kids who depend on his pediatric practice—but something about Regan makes him reconsider. Maybe it’s the scars she hides so well, the secrets she can’t share. Carter knows all about that kind of pain, and he wants to help. But offering Regan a job in his office only makes things worse, even if their chemistry is off the charts. Lucky for them both, Carter isn’t about to let go of love without a fight.

ADRI'S REVIEW:

First of all I would like to thank NetGalley and Random House for providing us with a copy of the book so that we could bring you this review.

Oh I need to say how much I liked Carter... Ok I am not so much in love with him as I am in Lust with him... Come on how can you beat a sexy, pediatrician who rides a motorcycle... there just isn't much you cant like about him.  And Regan, wow its amazing how strong she is. She has been through a lot over her life. To have dealt with the kind of hurt she has, and still be willing to kill yourself working that hard to provide for the person who hurts you makes her an amazing person. 

I can't blame either of these characters for being leery about having a relationship, but their connection is strong. It was a fun sexy read.

Happy Reading... Adri

Blurb

"What lies beneath my veiled perfection is the ugly truth—my truth, my reality, my destiny."

Vivian Graham has an acceptance letter into Harvard, a badass tattoo, loyal friends, ties to marijuana, a penchant for Dunkin’ Donuts, and her pesky V-card.

Everyday she takes the Red Line to her job at The Green Pot in Boston while her friends enter the coveted, black iron gates to higher learning. The ramifications from a tragic accident have put her life on hold while time marches on for everyone around her.

After graduating from Harvard Law, Boston native, Oliver Konrad, moves to Portland to start his career and his life. Three years later, after a horrific discovery, he returns home to trade in his three-piece suit for leather work boots and his suburban home for a condo in Cambridge.

All he brought back to the East Coast was an aversion to pillows and secrets he keeps hidden behind a mysterious locked door. Oliver’s days are predictable and his nights are lonely until he meets Vivian on the subway. Her long raven hair, green eyes, and mile-long legs are achingly sexy, but the way she "innocently" fingers and licks her Boston Kreme doughnut can only be described in two words—complete torture.

When their paths cross at every turn, laughter is abundant, friendship is easy, and love is unintentional. However, their future seems improbable.

 

Excerpt

“I don’t need panties.”

“I disagree,” he says with his back to me as he signs for the purchase at the counter. He takes the bag in one hand and grabs my hand with his other. “Shall we?” He leads me out of the store.

“A, I have plenty of panties. B, I told you I don’t wear them sometimes because it makes me feel sexy.”

He opens my door and sets the bag by my feet after I get in. Then he leans down and brings his face a breath away from mine as his hand slides up my leg. His thumb eases past my shorts. He stops and shakes his head as the pad of it meets my bare sex, no underwear.

My face contorts into a grimacing smile as my shoulders rise into a guilty shrug. He presses his thumb to my now wet center. My mouth relaxes as I suck in a breath and try to close the distance between our lips. He moves his head back just enough to deny me. He grins then moves his thumb a little higher. I moan as he rubs slow circles.

“How do you feel?” he whispers.

“G–good.” I grip the side of the seat and let my head fall back.

“What else?”

“Turned … on.” I close my eyes.

“What else?”

I tilt my hips up as he works me up so high I fear my own reaction to the impending fall.

“Oli …”

He speeds up, pressing his lips to my neck, and when his teeth graze over my sensitive skin I lose it.

“What. Else?” he whispers in my ear as the blinding sensation rips through me.

“Sexy … I feel … sexy.” I try to catch my breath while my head’s still spinning.

He kisses me hard then shuts my door.

I hate that I have no self-control to deny him giving me an orgasm while parked with the door open on a public street. Now he’s sporting a ridiculously smug grin as he pulls out into traffic.

“What was the point of that?” I break the silence.

“I wanted to prove that I make you feel sexy. Now that you know that, you can start wearing underwear.”

“What does it matter if no one else can see that I’m not wearing underwear?”

“First, some of the dresses you wear are awfully short. Second, I know you’re not wearing underwear and I don’t like walking around saluting everyone I pass.”

“Saluting?”

He shoots me a you-know-what-I-mean look.

“Whatever, you’re just being weird.”

“I’m being a guy.”

“That’s what I said. You’re being weird.”

ADRI'S REVIEW:

First of all I would like to thank Cora Seton with providing us with a copy of this book so that we could bring you this review. 

Cora Seton like always is fantastic and makes the fact that these characters have such deep connections so quickly feel seamless. I really enjoyed Dan and Sarah's story, even if Dan can sometimes come off as an ass, but then again Sarah proves to be quite competitive herself. I look forward to learning more in future books on what happens with these characters. On a side note, the fact that we got a little glimpse of some of her characters, not only the ones we have already met but also the ones that still have not come out yet is such a treat. Heck we even get to see a small glimpse of the Chance Creek Cowboys.

When his son Aiden's beautiful friend, Sofia, shows up unexpectedly at his door bearing gifts, everything changes. When had Sofia become a woman?

Warning - Adult language and some explicit sexual content.

This is a short, steamy holiday story.

Excerpt:


You're going to make this hard on me, aren't you?” An uneasy smile graced her pouty lips.
“I'm sorry, but you have to clarify this for me.”


“I know you spend this night by yourself every year. I usually do too because of my dad's work schedule. I didn’t see why either one of us should be alone tonight.” She leaned closer to his face allowing him to take in more of her enticing scent. “I wanted to be with you. I mean, I want to be with you.”


He continued to run his fingertips along her cheek and jawbone indulging in the feel of her soft skin. “You didn’t want me to be alone? That's very sweet.” Perhaps he had misunderstood her intentions. For some odd reason, disappointment filled him again. Maybe he wanted her to admit to more.


“You probably think I'm crazy. I swear I'm not a stalker.”


He laughed.


“I don’t know what it is, but I'm very intrigued by you.” When she looked away from him he sensed her embarrassed over her words. Obviously, it took a lot for her to come to him tonight.


He pressed his palm to her face. “I was thinking the same thing about you.”


Her big brown eyes widened as he raised her head to look at him.


“I'll be honest, I haven't given you much thought through the years, other than you being my son's shy, awkward friend, but tonight when I saw you, I couldn’t believe the woman you've become. You're breathtaking.”


She shook her head.


“You don’t believe me?” He twirled a stand of her hair around his finger. “Why not?”


“No one's ever said that about me before.”


“Hmm.” He didn’t know what possessed him, but he brushed his lips against her jaw. He had to know if her skin would be as soft to his lips as it was against his fingers.


She quivered as he lingered against her face.


“Still cold?” he asked.


“No.” She stared directly into his eyes. “Quite the opposite.”


“Can I kiss you?”
