Lacey and Maddow got married on a drunk weekend in Vegas. The next morning Lacey left him behind without even saying goodbye. Fast-forward a couple of months, Lacey and Maddox are both guests in the same wedding. I’m sorry but I got bored with both characters within 4 chapters.

Maddox had hired a private investigator to find Lacey after she left him in Vegas. Also, the reason the Lacey left is that Maddox and her brother were not getting along at the time. Maddox is Callie’s cousin, who married Dallas, who is Lacey’s brother. So, a few weeks after the Vegas wedding and after Lacey had left Maddox she saw pictures of him with other women, but he swears that he didn’t sleep with them, but she doesn’t believe that. Well, if Lacey didn’t want Maddox to be with other women, she should not have left him in the first place.

Served Hot by Marie Harte

Served Hot by Marie Harte

Published November 13th, 2017 by Entangled: Brazen

OMG
Dex is seriously and deliciously hot. He once blackmailed Maya to be his prom date and he feels no shame in blackmailing her again for another 10 dates. Only Dex can pull off blackmail without it being sleazy. He is just too cute. He is a former marine but underneath all that bulk and muscle he is a marshmallow that I just want to eat up. 

“Baby, I can handle you with one hand tied behind my back” – Dex 
 
Maya is seriously guarded. Her mother abandoned her multiple times and then she passed. Her father loves Maya but after seeing what her mother put her father through, she doesn’t want to let a man get that close to being able to hurt her. Dex is perfect for her. He is determined to not let Maya push him away and he is just too irresistible that even Maya has a very hard time coming up with an excuse not fall for him. 

“I’m glad you came back. I’m glad you forced me to go out with you.” – Maya 
 
I don’t know how Marie Harte is going to top off Dex and Maya. Although I also started to like Anson in this book, his loyalty to Dex made me like him. 

“It’s the biceps, right? Chicks dig the biceps.” – Dex

Okay, so Quinton and Kinsey had a night of passion in Vegas, but the next day Quinton pushed her away, encouraging her to go to Europe.

Well now she is back, and her douche ex is on the team as well. So, Jax, her brother, has a great idea, why not pretend she is dating Quinton? Of course, Jax doesn’t know what happened in Vegas otherwise he would not be happy with his idea.

OMG, this book was full of feels. Kinsey’s dad is sick and he’s not getting better. Quinton also lost his mom and he never really mourned her, so this is bringing back a lot of bad memories. I like the talk that Kinsey’s dad had with Quinton. I loved this book. Can’t wait to read more. *ARC graciously provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

Rock Wedding by Nalini Singh

Rock Wedding by Nalini Singh

Published July 19th, 2016 by TKA Distribution

Nalini Singh is an amazing writer. I had been counting down the days to read Rock Wedding. Abe and Sarah have been through so many struggles. It is worth finally reading their happy ending. Sarah loved Abe so much the first time that they were married. Abe being an addict, hurt her. There ending was bitter but I am so glad the Abe finally admitted having a problem and sought help. It was hard for Sarah to trust Abe. He shattered her heart and trust into a million pieces but Abe didn’t give up and he proved that he wasn’t the same man as before. He was better. I loved how Sarah transformed into a strong, and confident woman. I don’t want to spoil anything, but a floozy tried to intimidate her and make her feel less, and Sarah was quick to shut her up. She didn’t cower, she stood up for herself. That was my favorite scene. Out of all the Rock Kiss books, this has been my favorite. Abra <3 forever

A Simple Favor by Darcey Bell

A Simple Favor by Darcey Bell

Published March 21st, 2017 by Harper

A Simple Favor by Darcey Bell is like Gone Girl meets Norman Bates. No one is who they seem. The narrator Stephanie is a complicated and honestly a bit disturbed woman. Her husband and her brother die in the same car accident and she is left alone with her son Miles. She is alone other than her job and her mommy blog but will often lie on it or embellish the truth. 

Emily’s life seems perfect, she has her handsome husband Sean, and a son, Nicky, the same age as Miles. One day she asks Stephanie to pick her son up from school and doesn’t come back to pick him up. A while later her body is found. After this nothing is normal. Stephanie starts getting closer to Sean. Nicky is convinced he sees his mom at school and Stephanie tries to convince him it's only his imagination. 

This book was full of mystery and thrills. I also liked that it was in different points of view. 

Once I picked it up, I couldn't put it down. I had to know what was going to happen next and it did not disappoint.

Now it gets better with a movie coming out based on the book starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick.
