FRESH TEMPTATION BOOK #1

16168688 Victor Barboza is a man who has everything but a good woman.

Cara Green has a young son, three part-time jobs, and a few extra pounds.

Their worlds collide as Cara serves Victor at an upscale party in Manhattan, upsetting Victor's ex-fiancee, Alexis, in the process.

Victor pursues Cara, but Cara is not sure of his intentions: Is he using her to make Alexis jealous? Does he just want her for sex? Or is love Victor's true aim?


MY REVIEW:

At the end of the day we have to remember we read these stories to get away from reality. Like watching a movie. It's called fiction for a reason. How believable is this?: Not, but that's the beauty of it. I deal with reality all day long so when I read fantasy it's fun. This one is. Victor falls for a single mom who is working three jobs to make ends meet. When his ex gets her fired service job at the banquet she is working at the charity dinner he is at he feels for her since he knows how hard it was for his mom raising him and his brothers. He won't stand for that, so rides the crazy roller coaster as he tries to make it work for Cora & little Isaac. What bothered me about the book?: the way Cora fought him at every turn, yet fear will make us all do crazy things & her body image & self esteem. Wow, I do get that I think any woman living can understand that. Victor was not up front with her so when he held back info it cause a lack of trust.
Do I recommend this book?: yes, highly.

THE CURVE BALL (BIG GIRLS AND BAD BOYS)

THE CURVE BALL                                    J.S. SCOTT
Posted: Sept. 22, 2013

The Curve Ball by J.S. Scott When Maggie Jones lets her best friend talk her into attending the annual charity mystery single's ball to help her friend out of a jam, she never imagined she would end up paired with the most handsome, eligible man at the ball. Unfortunately, he was also the man that she had secretly adored for over a year. What chance did an overweight pastry chef have with a hunk like Jake Rawlins?

Jake Rawlins wants Maggie Jones, but he can't get her to take his advances seriously. He's been hinting around for a year. Now he's ready to take drastic measures to get Maggie to notice him.

Will Maggie realize that her Prince Charming has finally arrived at the ball, or will she miss out on having a man who truly wants her exactly the way she is just because of her insecurities?


This is a short story erotic romance.

18+ Only. This story contains graphic sex, graphic language and other subjects for mature audiences only.


MY REVIEW:

As women we always see ourselves differently then men that love us see us. Even just the average man on the street. Being a BBW most of my life I never was made fun of as an adult it all came from childhood. As I came into my teens I was little more average but more voluptuous let's say for my age. Then as I got older mid twenties hair & make-up & learning to carry myself well. Was my trick to hid my insecurities. So, Maggie not believing that Jake her friend who was six feet tall, handsome, & sexy would be into her, I could believe because any woman ten pounds over weight & they are telling the truth would feel the exact same way as the one 100+ lbs. over. This was well written. Carried a lot of thoughts of a BBW. The love story itself was just so heart warming the way Jake planned it all was just so endearing. It was that more believable when Jake became insecure when he thought she didn't want to be seen with him.

Teasing Trent by M. Malone One girl. One guy. One unforgettable night.

Trent's supposed to keep his best friend's sister company on her birthday. He just has to remember the promise he made to himself in college to keep his hands off her. He's not worried until he finds out she wants to stay in. Just the two of them.

Ever since Mara walked into her brother's dorm room freshman year and came face to face with a shirtless Trent, she's known he was The One. She finally has a plan to get him exactly where she wants him. In her bed.

If Mara has her way, she'll get a lot more for her birthday than a Hallmark card…

**WARNING**
This book contains yoga as an erotic torture device and the unexpected appearance of a vibrator. I'm just saying...

(NOVELLA - prequel to The Alexanders series)


MY REVIEW:
OKAY THIS BOOK GOT ME SO WANTING TO READ THE REST OF THIS SERIES NOW THAT BEING SAID:


Poor, poor Trent. Mara is the evil vixen out to take Trent down in the most deviously erotic way. In his attempt to honor his best friend’s wishes to keep a watch over his twin sister with a hands off rule while he fights for our country, he finds it is getting harder to do as his feelings for her grow. As well as his attraction to her sexually. Mara can't take anymore she is going to have Trent if it kills him & it will. ;) . This is very cute for an erotic short prequel. You will enjoy it. I did.

One More Day by M. Malone "You're with the right person when no matter how bad things get, you'd still rather be with them than anywhere else..."

RIDLEY WELLS HAS NO idea what to do with her life now that she's graduated from college. But when a friend is murdered and her apartment is trashed, she runs to the only person she trusts, her twin sister. No one will think to look for her in the rinky dink Virginia town of New Haven.

Of course, her luck lands her passed out in the grass in front of resident bad boy, music producer Jackson Alexander. Strike 1!

Then she realizes Raina's out of the country and she has nowhere else to go. Strike 2!

So when the handsome producer with the platinum smile mistakes her for her sister, she gets an idea.

Where better to hide than in plain sight?


WARNING: This book contains cloak and dagger intrigue, family drama, brothers fighting, supermodels with attitude and hot sex between people who can't keep their hands off each other. Just saying...


MY REVIEW:


One More Day

     When, Ridley Wells who is, Raina Winters the famous models sister, comes into some trouble over the simple thing of just trying to find their other parent the twin’s never met.  Her she was just a normal average college graduate working part time blending in.  Nothing like her sister who was always out there in the public eye.  In fact her sister changed her name to help protect her from the public eye that Raina’s life would bring her.  But when the investigator is murdered and her place trashed she runs to the one person she know can help her.  Her sister.

     Living off the grid to get there taking train and buses and living on plastic wrapped foods out of machines gets to her.  Not to mention the New Haven, Virginia humidity.  She ends up passed out on the grass in front of a fish pond and found boy two adorable boys of a music producer Jackson Alexander his friend Matt and Jackson’s brother.  Ridley comes to and realizes that she has a problem to deal with.  Yet, she knows Raina is out of town and she can now just be her for once, right?  She has nowhere else to go she needs help and somewhere to hide.

     When Jackson our handsome producer with the million dollar smile that can talk her panties right off mistakes her for her sister, she takes the idea and runs with it.  What’s a girl to do, what better way than to hide in plain sight.   Now if she can only get ahold of her sister and find out why she changed the security code number and let her know she is acting as her and what has happen and she needs her.

     As you know by now I love this series.  This Author just grabs you with her Characters and her way with words and her style of writing.  She has this sense of family and love that is so nice but there is a huge thing of for the couple and their loving.  Ridley and Jackson wow they can burn it up.  Know this is romance erotica.  Which means to me a true story that has erotica in it.  I cannot wait to read Eli’s story and I hope there is a Ben’s story we don’t her that much about him.
