Reckless by Lex Martin

I'm trying something new with this post.  

It's a spotlight on a single book (well, and the book before it, because I think you should read that one, too).

What are those books, you ask?

Shameless and Reckless 

by Lex Martin!

I fell in love w/ Shameless a couple years ago (Kat & Brady are part slow burn, part friends to lovers) and when I heard we were getting more from that world, I was super excited!!  Reckless, which is Tori & Ethan's story, did not disappoint!  And look at this cover!!

*heart eyes*  

It's faster paced, but still has the friends-to-lovers vibe.  Tori is there to take care of Ethan's kids (they're adorably written - I love well-written kids!) & has sworn off men.  Ethan is stressed to the max & going through a divorce & the two butt heads at their first meeting.  But they have pretty great communication with each other, and don't really let things "stew" for long at all.  That is one of my pet peeves, when misunderstandings happen and the main characters don't bother to talk to each other for an extended period of time.

Tori & Ethan might have an issue (or two) but they talk to each other & get it figured out quickly & then move on to working out other issues.  I loved the pacing, the laugh out loud moments, and am especially looking forward to Lex (hopefully) writing Ethan's brother, Logan's story!  : )  

I hope you'll give both these books a shot & let me know what you think!!  

TTFN!

Welcome, 2018!

So far, 2018 has been amazing, book-wise!  I already have a few favorites and it's only February!  

I started out the year with some new-to-me authors, and discovered some amazing stories! (The title will link to my review on Goodreads, if you're interested.  : ) ) 

- Becoming Mrs Lockwood by K.I. Lynn - 10++ stars, and full of sweet emotions and steamy times. The cadence of the story reminded me of another favorite, Tina Reber's Love Unscripted series.  : ) 

- Lovin' on You by Fabiola Francisco - Wonderful story that pulled me right in & wouldn't let me go!

- Watch Me Follow by Harloe Rae - OMH!  This one blew me away!  The premise (he's a stalker, whaaaat?) sounds dark, but the story is full of Sunshine.  The way these characters are written is so amazingly beautiful!  They just fit together so well, and I love the direction the story takes!  

I've also read some FABULOUS old and new stories by favorite authors.  

- Married Into Love by Rochelle Paige - Easy, quick read full of humor, love and sexiness!  No drama, just a super fun Vegas wedding that sticks!  ; )  

- Day by Jessica Florence - This is book 2 in her Hero Society series (superheroes, y'all!!) & I love the direction and way the stories are written so far.  Each one is its own episode while doing an AMAZING job of creating an overall story arc.  SUPER fun read!  

- Steady by Lindsay Paige - I coin it as a great "life" read - sweet & steady & highly enjoyable!  

- Until Harmony and Stumbling Into Love by Aurora Rose Reynolds - Both added to my favorites shelf immediately.  Steamy, fun, make-me-feel-happy reads!  (Until Harmony comes out next month!)

- I also caught up w/ several reads from various Lani Lynn Vale series, and Piper & Jack Davenport have several books out this year so far.  I ALWAYS devour books by them!  : )  LB Dunbar & Susan Stoker are on my list this year so far as well!  

Soooo blessed, and from the looks of things, I'll have some more gushing posts ahead this year!  I can't wait!  : )  

What've you read & loved this year so far?  Share share share!  Obviously I'm always up for new-to-me authors!  ; )  

TTFN!
