Down London Road by Samantha Young

Johanna Walker is used to taking charge. But she’s about to meet someone who will make her lose control....

It has always been up to Johanna to care for her family, particularly her younger brother, Cole. With an absent father and a useless mother, she’s been making decisions based on what’s best for Cole for as long as she can remember. She even determines what men to date by how much they can provide for her brother and her, not on whatever sparks may—or may not—fly.

But with Cameron MacCabe, the attraction is undeniable. The sexy new bartender at work gives her butterflies every time she looks at him. And for once, Jo is tempted to put her needs first. Cam is just as obsessed with getting to know Jo, but her walls are too solid to let him get close enough to even try.

Then Cam moves into the flat below Jo’s, and their blistering connection becomes impossible to ignore. Especially since Cam is determined to uncover all of Jo’s secrets …even if it means taking apart her defenses piece by piece.

My Review :

I was sooo anticipating this book to be released because is simply love On Dublin Street … i mean Braden & Joss just clicked in the most perfect sense. with this book I think something is missing although Cam is super hot….i feel i didn't have that much connection with Jo. but i love Jo and her relationship with his brother. 

What I like :

• i got to read even a glimpse of Braden & Joss still strong
• the Nicolses gathering. i mean who doesn't want to have this kind of family? they are warm, welcoming and filled with love
• Cam's friends …. they are not assholes! 
• Hannah…. i hope she gets her own book! i mean there's a story behind this girl! 
• Uncle Mick

What I didn't like :

• Cam's first impression attitude to Jo
• super disappointed with Jo & Cole's mother
• Jo super low regard with herself. 

i give this book 3 stars. 

LEO by Mia Sheridan

Evie and Leo met in foster care as children and formed a bond of friendship. As they grew, their bond turned to love and they vowed to make a life together when they turned 18 and were no longer a part of the system.

When Leo unexpectedly gets adopted as a teen and he moves to another city, he promises Evie that he will contact her as soon as he gets there and come back for her in a few short years. She never hears from him again.

Now eight years later, in spite of the odds, Evie has made a life for herself. She has a job, she has friends, she's content. Then a man shows up out of the blue, claiming that her long lost love, Leo, sent him to check up on her. The attraction between them is undeniable. But, should she trust this sexy stranger? Or is he keeping a secret about what his connection to Leo is really all about and why Leo disappeared all those years ago?

My Review :

let me just wipe my tears before i start this…… still wiping tears …..

who doesn't want fairy tales and happy ever afters right? i always look forward to this kind of ending although i expect my heart to be broken first and enjoy the story before i got to the ending.

i regret not reading this when i got this book…. because I FREAKING LOVE LEO!!!! and EVIE :) i mean i kinda expect in the beginning that Jake has this explosive secret join on but……WOW…. i just love the story's pacing and how i freaking love evie's politeness and good heart and yeap I'm very jealous she got a a gay best friend and a married woman best friend and they are very much loveable characters! 

Jake, gosh i love this guy! my heart breaks for him….i want justice with what happened to him….i really want his foster monster mom aka Lauren to be in jail…. good thing her husband left the company to Jake its not enough for what she did to Jake when he was younger….

i want more from Leo & Evie :) big 5 fantastic stars for this book!!!! 

DONT HATE THE PLAYER....HATE THE GAME by Katie Ashley

For Noah Sullivan being the best friend to a douchebag and player like Jake Nelson has never been easy. It's been a rocky road since kindergarten when Jake duct taped Noah to his chair before recess. With just six weeks to high school graduation, Jake accidentally blows his drunken ass up on his grandfather's tractor, and Noah finds himself immersed not only in a whirlwind of grief, but on a quest to find a mystery girl from Jake's past. 

While cleaning out Jake's room, Noah and Jake's dad make a startling discovery. Instead of the obligatory porn collection or pot stash, they find a ring, but not just any ring. Its half a carat of commitment in a platinum setting-proving even man whores have taste. After Jake's mom pleads with Noah to find the girl who meant so much to Jake, Noah begins a modern day Grail quest to track the girl down.

Since Jake was a notorious player with a legendary collection of trophy panties, Noah finds himself in over his head. There are the usual suspects like Avery, the Ice Princess Jake dated for appearances, or Presley, the school mattress Jake dated for convenience. But the trail begins to point to the most unlikely of suspects: Maddie, the Valedictorian and choir girl who was trying to help the unmotivated jock graduate--the girl who also has surprisingly caught Noah's eye and meddled with his heart. 

Hanging out with Maddie shows Noah a different side of Jake--one that was deeply human and surprisingly douche-free. And the more he tries to solve the mystery of the ring and of Jake, the more Noah starts to discover about himself and of love.

My Review :

so, i never doubt that this is another great story by katie ashley i just never expected to be soooo emotional reading this. i love the humour and my gosh the characters i love them :) 

lets start with Noah, i seriously wish there's a guy like him when i was in high school i mean you can actually feel his character he is really sweet but the side of just being a "17" year old teenager just pops and makes him more adorable! i mean I'm really in love with him :) i felt heartbroken with him when the news of jake's death (i mean we all know this but seriously i wish he didn't die….more on that later) i mean how can you get over something like that losing your best friend in high school right? i think his vulnerability as a person showed how great he is and how grounded his mom raised him. and then the quest for the owner of the ring, i mean when we met maddie we are like very sure it was her but hmmmm not quite expecting the whole jake letter thing! i think thats a brilliant part of the story.

maddie, she is like this perfect goody pastor choir singing valedictorian girl who wouldn't be existing in jake's life. i think her being one of the "players" of the story sweetens the deal ….. there is no such thing as perfect right? and we all have secrets we keep. anyway i just love her, her being the girl Dr Phil just makes me smile every now and then and how noah describes her body I'm cracking up every time. 

jake, how wish he didn't die…..i mean how can he be dead right? but of course ms ashley wrote this story so i don't get so say right? lol but i think i like jake who doesn't right? i mean yeah he has his flaws but yeah my heart broke for him that he won't get to see life ahead of him.

presley, seriously i want more scoop! lol i just wish she gets her HEA i mean she kinda deserve it one way or the other…. and I'm guessing she will :) 

overall this was a very delightful sunday read that had me glued to my kindle for like 5 hours! i can't put it down and i cried, i laugh and fell in love with this story

4.5 stars!!!!! :)

ROCK WITH ME by KRISTEN PROBY

Front Man Leo Nash from the world-famous rock band, Nash, is the last person on earth Samantha Williams would trust. She's already learned about loving a celebrity the hard way and isn't signing up for another lesson.

Every time Sam gives Leo attitude, he wants to knock that chip off her fragile little shoulder. What the hell did he ever do to her, anyway? He's not used to women treating him like he's poisonous, and he isn't about to let her run away every time he gets close. He's had enough of people running away to last him a lifetime...when this one runs, he gives chase. But, catching Sam isn't as hard as he thought.

The sexual attraction between them is so thick, Sam can practically hold it in her hand. There's no way she can deny herself the promise of pleasure being with Leo would provide. 

But, pleasure always comes with pain and when secrets are revealed and trust is challenged, who will run and who will chase?

My Review :

So this is definitely a 5 ++ stars book for me! I mean the first time we met Leo in Play with Me....i instantly fell inlove with him and Sam....talk about instant tension! i love it! Im a sucker for rockstars romance so yes please read this and youll think you wana relocate to Seattle and find your own Leo...hey there's still those Montgomery men! and Matt Williams! cant wait for the next story in this story! i freaking love Kristen Proby's writing....she never bores me!

And yes i think Sulan needs a special mention because that guy is just super super hot!!!!!
