Summer Heat: A Storm Inside Novel (The Wild Pitch Series Book 1)

Summer Heat: A Storm In Inside Novel


I am a huge fan of sport romances and I really enjoyed this second chance love story filled with family feuds and unconditional love. This was my first time reading a book by Alexis Anne and her writing was good, but I wished the book was written from a dual point of view because as I reader at time I wanted to know what was happening with Roman's family and what was going through his mind. I also did not enjoy the past and present style of writing as I wished that they had just given us the background story first and then continued with the story because it sometimes felt like we were missing important facts about their past. Roman's character was your typical alpha male sportsman however I enjoyed the fact that he did not let his injury ruin him but instead he made it positive and became a better person. June's character always seemed confused as she did not know what she wanted or needed and this kind of annoyed me. The chemistry between June and Roman was good, but it could have been better. I also enjoyed the secondary characters of all Junes family members as they added to the humor of the book. Overall this was a good second chance sports romance filled with family drama.

Rating: 3/5


Plot

June Daniels had fallen in love with the wrong man many years ago because they could never be together due to their family feud.

Your Irresistible Love (The Bennett Family #1)

Your Irresistible Love



After a very long time did I found a book that I really enjoyed because this book had the almost everything I love in a romance novel such as an alpha male, an independent female character and great chemistry.  This was my first time reading a book by Layla Hagen and I found that I really enjoyed her dual point of view style of writing and the fact that she did not only make this book about the romance but also about family and friendships. I loved Sebastian's character because he was a self built billionaire who loved his family and always put them first in his life and of course I loved that he was a gorgeous alpha male who gets possessive.  Ava's character was great because she was self sufficient and independent and was more impressed by Sebastian's family and character rather than his money and success. The chemistry between Sebastian and Ava was hot and I really enjoyed that the book was more than just sex, however I did wish that there was more drama in the book. I also really enjoyed the secondary characters of all the Bennett siblings because this book has set the foundation for a great series. Overall this is a great billionaire romance filled with family and a whole lot of chemistry.

Rating: 4/5

Beauty and the Beast (Beauty #1-4)

Beauty and the Beast



This is my first time reading a book by Skye Warren and I kind of enjoyed it, but I did wish that there was more character and plot development throughout the book. Blake's character was of a wounded soldier who is struggling to integrate back into society after a horrible accident when in the army and who is lusting after the maid who cleans his house. I personally felt that they did not give enough information on Blake's character and I hated the fact that they completely ignored his PTSD and made the book more about sex than emotions, however I did enjoy his protective alpha male side. Erin's character was a typical college student who is completing her masters and is lusting after her employer whom house she cleans. I also felt that there was a lack of background in Erin character because she sometimes felt emotionless and drab and she was not pushing for Blake to get completely better. The chemistry between Blake and Erin was hot, but the writer put to many sex scenes in the book which lead to both the book and characters to lack depth. Overall this book which had a lot of potential lacked character development and a proper story line.

Rating: 2.5/5
