Review & Spotlight: He's So Fine by Marie Mason

He's So Fine

by Marie Mason

Genre: New Adult, College, Stepbrother Romance

Amazon

Amazon UK

Cage escaped the foster system and turned to the underground fight ring to earn enough money to put food in his stomach and a roof over his head. Now, his absentee father has shown up out-of-the-blue offering him a chance to get to know him.  He takes the offer and gets more than he bargains for—a curvy stepsister who knocks this bad boy to his knees.

 

My Review:

 If you love a dirty talking, sexy-as-sin, alpha, bad boy who loves sex then this one is definitely for you!

I really like Cage a lot. He's egotistical and a total man-whore but he has this sweetness to him. Women know what they're getting into by being involved with him. He never hides who he is. I love meeting Abby basically knocked his world off kilter.

Abby is very sweet and relatable. She's a bit naïve at times but I liked her. She put up a good resistance to Cage but he's hard to fight.

I was a bit hesitant about this whole stepbrother thing at first but Abby and Cage didn't know of each other and didn't grow up together so they really didn't have any familiar ties to each other.

This was a really fast and extremely HOT read. I look forward to reading more from Marie Mason in the future.

Rescue Me by NYT and USA Today Bestselling Author N.J. Walters

When firefighter Frank Ellis rescues an old flame from a burning building, sparks ignite. He’ll do anything to protect her, even if it means she discovers he’s a mythical phoenix.

My Review:
This one was smoking hot! Sexy and suspenseful, a really fast exciting read!
I love Frank. He's so sweet and protective. He left Martha years ago thinking to protect her and ends up saving her from a fire. To say sparks fly between them is an understatement. Martha was really great too. I like that she was very strong and a bit stubborn. They made a great pair and definitely belonged together.
I loved N.J. Walters books and this was another hit for me. I hope she writes more with phoenix's.

 

Flashpoint by Award-Winning Author Desiree Holt

...When everything explodes

 

Where There's Smoke by Award-Winning Author Cindy Spencer Pape

Firefighting in the 1920's is dangerous business, but so is falling in love.

 
My Review:
This was a really interesting and sweet read. I love that it took place in the 20's. It was very neat to see how the firemen ran things back then.
I really adored Nettie. She was very strong and sweet. She also had a bit of a sassy side. I really felt for her. She stayed in a bad situation because of a promise. Even at her own cost.
Eli is so sweet. He took Nettie in even knowing it could mean his reputation as well as hers. I also loved the he genuinely wanted to help people. He has a lot of money and could have just donated it to help the firehouse but he wanted to actually be a part of it.
This was a fast read and I really liked the authors writing style. I definitely plan on grabbing more from her in the future.

Slow Burner by USA Today Bestselling Author Sam Cheever

A love that burns slowly burns longest, creating the greatest heat.

My Review:
 Sexy, suspenseful, with lots of action. This was one fast and really exciting read.
 I really liked the main characters in this. Hilda and Duncan were both strong leads that you find out had a past connection. I loved Hilda's strength. She could be vulnerable but she tried to keep a strong front up through all this chaos going on. With her house being set on fire and others happening around her. Duncan was so protective and sweet with Hilda. He was convinced that there was an arsonist but no one believed him.
 Bad things just seemed to keep happening to them and blame kept getting thrown their way. They were very supportive of each other and made a great pair.
This was a first from this author for me but I really enjoyed the writing style so it definitely wont be my last.

Warrior (First to Fight #1)

by Nicole Blanchard

 

I thought it was just one night with my brother’s best friend. The boy I had dreamt about since he gave me my first kiss, under the lights of the Ferris wheel.

I knew he was about to leave for a year – no chance for a future.

But our one night together would create memories for a lifetime.

Our paths crossed again, but I had lied, and he was no longer the man he once was. He was warring against demons. Against the silence that was threatening to swallow him. And I had kept a secret from him, one he would never forgive me for.

But my secret was about to be ripped open. Displayed for the world on national news. And I had only one way to repair the damage.

I had to trust the man I lied to.

The man I never got the chance to make a life with.

The only man who could save what we had created together.

by Terry Bolryder

 

Bear seeking Mate: Curves preferred

Bear shifter Shane McAllister never thought he'd use an online dating site, but right now he's desperate. He has just months to find a mate or lose his family's ranch. When one of his brothers makes some 'creative' changes to his profile, tricking a city girl into a dangerous situation, it's up to Shane to come to the rescue. When he does, he's shocked to come face to face with a curvy sweetheart who just happens to be his fated mate.

Ruby doesn't know what she's doing, flying out to to a remote town in Montana meet a man she's only seen on a dating profile. But something about Shane's gorgeous green eyes makes her want to take chances. Until her journey leads her to a remote bar, surrounded by rough men. Things seem bleak, until Shane himself comes striding into the bar, throws her over his shoulder, and carries her out.  Perhaps mountain men do things different after all...

Against all odds, the two of them click instantly, and Shane is every bit as good of a lover as he is a sexy rancher. But Shane has more than one secret that he needs to tell his newfound love before they can be together, and there are more than just bears roaming in the mountains above Bear Haven...

So I reach out for a lifeline. Dare DuBray. He's my savior and my anti-Christ. His arms are where I feel safe, where I'm afraid, where I belong, where I'm lost. He will heal me, break me, love me and hate me. He has the power to destroy me. Maybe that's ok. Because I can't seem to save Finn and love Dare without everyone getting hurt. Why? Because of a secret. A secret I'm so busy trying to figure out, that I never see it coming. You won't either.

My Review:

A seriously sweet and extremely sexy sports romance. But even if you don't like sports you can still read this and really enjoy it!
 I loved Ty. He's a definite ladies man but very sweet and lets women know what their in for. I loved him falling for Gabriella. He was so sure that it was just a temporary thing but realized just how much he wanted her and couldn't let her go.

 Gabby is a very strong woman. She's had a really bad relationship in the past but she's handling it well. I love her confidence and humor. Also just a really caring person. She was very playful with Ty and it was really cute. She frustrated me at times with holding things back from him but I could understand her reasons.

 Overall just a very cute and fun read. It's book 2 in the series but can be read with no trouble as a stand-alone.

Nocte (The Nocte Trilogy #1)

by Courtney Cole

 

My name is Calla Price. I'm eighteen years old, and I'm one half of a whole. My other half—my twin brother, my Finn—is crazy. I love him. More than life, more than anything. And even though I'm terrified he'll suck me down with him, no one can save him but me. I'm doing all I can to stay afloat in a sea of insanity, but I'm drowning more and more each day. So I reach out for a lifeline. Dare DuBray. He's my savior and my anti-Christ. His arms are where I feel safe, where I'm afraid, where I belong, where I'm lost. He will heal me, break me, love me and hate me. He has the power to destroy me. Maybe that's ok. Because I can't seem to save Finn and love Dare without everyone getting hurt. Why? Because of a secret. A secret I'm so busy trying to figure out, that I never see it coming. You won't either.

Southern Heat (Game On, #2)

by Parker Kincade

 

Tyler Brady earned his reputation as the bad boy of baseball the old-fashioned way: by playing hard--on and off the field. After suffering a shoulder injury, he faces his first summer off in twenty years. Between the endless physical therapy sessions and missing the season, Tyler’s patience is about to blow.

After suffering a devastating breakup, Gabriella Marano is ready to play the field. Who better to reacquaint her with the pleasures of sex than a devastatingly handsome ball player? Tyler is well equipped to give her what she needs: a little harmless fun.

As their passion soars, Tyler realizes the woman who fires his blood holds his future in the palm of her hands.

In more ways than one.
