Cooper Wilde spend his entire adolescence counting the days until he could escape rural northwest New Jersey. Now at 26, he can't  believe he's coming back. But his late father's bar, Haymakers, is in financial trouble and his older brother, Jake, has asked for Cooper's help.

Riley Smith, 25, is fresh out of her Ivy League MBA program and wants to make an impression on her employer, H & C Bank. Her first solo assignment is a fraud investigation on a business loan they made to Haymakers.

Even though Old Town is less than 90 minutes from New York City, Riley feels like she's stepped into another world in this remote, one-bar town. Riley can't wait to do her business and get back to the city as quickly as her sports car will take her...until she meets Cooper Wilde. He's not like the other guys in this rural town and Riley feels inexplicably attracted to him.

If you like your trucks loud, your beer cold and your men hot...you'll love WILDE RIDERS.

♥My Review♥

I was given a copy of this from the Author and Booksniffer Review Tour for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast paced read and easy to follow. Even though most of it was predictable, it was a nice change from what I generally read. Love those cowboys!!

I thought the story line flowed really well and couldn't find much, if anything to complain about. The characters were lovable and I enjoyed their interactions with each other, especially the four Wilde brothers.

I enjoyed the part about the Fair because I live in a city where we hold our State Fair, and it was like walking with Cooper and Riley when he was showing her around and all that the Fair had to offer.

I plan on reading more of this series because it was an enjoyable read and I would love to learn more about what is in store for the Wilde Brothers.

I gave it ♥♥♥♥ our of ♥♥♥♥♥ on Goodreads and would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves Contemporary Romance.

Reasonable Doubt: Volume 1 (Reasonable Doubt #1) by Whitney Gracia Williams│Review

♥♥♥♥♥

♥Synopsis♥

My cock has an appetite.

A huge and very particular appetite: Blonde, curvy, and preferably not a fucking liar...(Although, that's a story for another day.)

As a high profile lawyer, I don't have time to waste on relationships, so I fulfill my needs by anonymously chatting and sleeping with women I meet online.

My rules are simple: One dinner. One night. No repeats.

This is only casual sex. Nothing more. Nothing less.

At least it was, until "Alyssa"...

She was supposed to be a 27 year old lawyer, a book hoarder, and completely unattractive. She was suppose to be someone I shared law advice with late at night, someone I could trust with details of my weekly escapades.

But then she came into my firm for an interview -- a college-intern interview, and everything fucking changed...

Book 1 in a three part Erotic Romance Series.

♥My Review♥

After the first five words, I was hooked! Not to mention as I continued reading the synopsis, I had to meet the man behind the rules. The man who had this huge particular appetite. I had to know what turned his world completely upside down.

This was a fast read for me. Like I said, I was hooked just by the first five words of the synopsis. This was a page turner. The writing was amazing and the words flowed so well and so fast, I didn't realize I had read the entire book only within two and a half hours with only several interruptions.

I really liked the characters and I loved the banter between the two main characters. Even though Andrew was a dirt bag throughout the book, I didn't mind at all. I still loved him when he was the biggest ass! I understood why Aubrey said what she said, however I felt like that was cheating the system.

Now, that ending!!! 

I cannot wait to read the next book which is expected to be released April 17, 2013 according to Goodreads.

I gave ♥♥♥♥♥ out of ♥♥♥♥♥ on Goodreads and HIGHLY recommend this book!

♥Synopsis♥

Small moments can seem insignificant until they change the course of a life forever. The sound of a bulldozer. A chance meeting at a gas station. A gust of wind through a chime. Benign events become something more when viewed through the lens of fate.

Emma Santori is a prisoner of tragic memories. Locked in a spiral of depression, she leads a desolate and empty life, trapped in her decrepit home. Rooted in routine, she’s numb and vacant. As a lonely Catholic school teacher, her only joy comes from her young students. One Saturday morning, her isolation is infiltrated by a mysterious architect building a home beside hers.

That man is Eric Wilder and he’s keeping a secret that’s destroying his life. Filled with guilt and self-loathing, he’s forced to move often. He chooses the small northeastern town of Pine Lake as his latest refuge, and hopes to make a successful attempt at starting his life over. As always, he’s unable to make that happen.

That all changes when he meets Emma.

She finds herself drawn to Eric when she accidentally bumps into him, but Eric’s unfazed by their first meeting. When a gust of wind brings these two people together once again, Emma discovers Eric’s secret. She’s forced to battle between her Catholic faith and her desire for this stranger.

Their attraction is intense and they soon discover they’re each lonely and longing for what the other has to offer. As their friendship blossoms, Emma realizes her passion and lust for Eric are the remedy to her depression. Eric discovers his feelings for Emma are the only antidote to his secret burden. 

They begin an erotic journey, which leads these beautifully broken people to discover that love can be both righteous and wicked.

♥My Review♥
♥♥♥♥

When I was given the opportunity to read this book, I was excited! I had read the synopsis and I knew then, that I HAD to read it.

Okay, The Righteous and The Wicked flashes back and forth between our Female Protagonist, Emma Santori and the Male Protagonist, Eric Wilder; both who have their own secrets and work very hard to not let others see just how much they are about to crack!

I was extremely intrigued by Emma, who was constantly struggling with her faith and her desire for Eric. I couldn't help but laugh at some of the things she did in her desire to seek out Eric, even though he was unaware that anyone and certainly not Emma, knew his secret and this secret, only made her attraction to him stronger.

Eric has this way to make you feel conflicted feelings towards him. You know his secret and you know how he deals with it which makes it hard to feel any sympathy, yet when you see him with Emma and his soft and sweet side, it makes you care about him regardless of his secret.

This book was well written and the characters developed so much growth throughout the book. The situations were very realistic in a way that you would believe that it was happening in a small town near you.

I laughed. I cried. I was completely enthralled with these characters and story.

I gave it ♥♥♥♥ out of ♥♥♥♥♥ on Goodreads and I definitely recommend you checking out this book. 

I look forward to reading more from April.

Jellybean Kisses by Amy Evans│Blog Tour and Review

First love is the sweetest....

Jax and Jacey are everyone's favorite couple, even though they've barely ever kissed.

In kindergarten, Jax pulled out a chair for Jacey and swept the play dough off so that she would sit down next to him and he's been carving out ways for them to stick together ever since. Though everyone in their conservative, small beach town sees them as a couple, they're not, exactly. Because while they both want more, they've agreed to wait.



 Jacey works hard, respects her elders and follows every spoken and silent rule about fitting in and doing the ‘right’ thing. She doesn't dare give the gossips more fodder from her family, so she's kept Jax firmly in the friendzone. It takes a hurricane for her to realize timing is everything, but months later she’s still too afraid to put her heart on the line and tell him how she feels. Then plans change – hers for summer and his for college, and Jacey needs to make the most of the time she and Jax have left, or stay stuck in the land of missed beginnings forever

While growing up, S.M. would travel the roads around her house while imagining she was somewhere else. Her imagination would take her everywhere, making the long hot summer days seem shorter throughout her fantasies.

At the age of twelve, she decided to write her first book. Filled mostly with dialog, she filled up one-hundred pages, front and back. After taking the book downstairs to show her mom, and persuading her to buy her more paper, she excitedly ran back to her room. As she barreled through the door, S.M. tripped over items left on her floor, and her papers came raining down in her room. Discouraged, she stood there in tears, picking up her papers and throwing them in the trash. Her work had no organization, no numbers on her pages, just a child fulfilling a joy that she would put down and not pick up again.

When she became older, she joined the military for something different. In that time, she was able to explore many places and even met her husband in Iraq. After coming home, she started her family in Arizona and went back to school, earning a Master's degree in Adult Education and Training.

♥Excerpt♥

“I came here, baby, to tell you I love
you. I love you. I love you. I love you.” 
He inhaled sharply, but said in an even voice. “And I can’t lose you
before the greatest fight I will ever wage.”

Redemption. Could I absolve him? I lay in
a hospital bed for two weeks. All of it at his hands. I’d been marred, though
the scar on my skin was not the worst damage. It was a reminder of the scar I’d
carried inside. Could he erase that scar? Could he heal a wound one could not
see?

There was silence, deafening silence. I
tried to keep it together. I used every ounce of energy I had to keep the fire
at a low flame, but it blazed through me. He would’ve shot my kid, and I
couldn’t let that happen. These kids, they’d become my lifeline. My light.

“Without those kids, I’m just as dark as
you.” I said emotionlessly, empty. These last few weeks of pretending during
the day, only to come home and sob until sleep graced me was maddening. “I’ve
got nothing left to give you, J. Nothing.”

 I hung
my head, losing the fight with the tears that had been threatening to erupt
since J arrived. “I can’t be your light, when I have none.”

We lay on the floor, two damaged bodies
searching for the light. J pulled my head into his hands, bringing us face to
face. I could feel his breath against my lips. “You were a comet that bust into
my life out of no where” he whispered. “I begged for you. On my knees in the
dirt, I groveled to the sky to bring me light. And there you were, at Eight Oh
Eight, staring up at me, even though I knew you couldn’t see through the
window. I saw you, though. Elle, I saw you long before you saw me.”

“How could I love a killer?”

“How much pain was worth loving this man?

“Please, baby.
Please. I need you. I love you. I can’t go into this without knowing you’ll be
here when I return.”

“I’m not sure what
to say. I want to tell you I’ll wait. That I’ll be here, waiting like a good
girl for you. I want to because I love you. Fuck, I love you.” I turned,
finally ready to look him in the eye. “I don’t know where I’ll be. I can’t tell
you that. But I can tell you that I love the fuck out of you, and no matter how
much I try to stop,” I paused. Fuck this mother fucker. Fuck! God, why was he
doing this to me? Angry tears, sad tears, hopeless tears, tears filled with
longing fell from my eyes. J caught then with his thumb, but there were too
many. They ran over his fingers like a waterfall.

“Fuck, J. I don’t
want you to die.”

He pulled me to him,
and I inhaled his scent. I’d never be able to smell Acqua di mother fucking Gio
again and not think of him. Today it was mixed with the smell of exhaust, like
he’d been riding around all night. For what felt like the gazillionth time, I
crumbled into his arms. How did two times come to be a number exponentially
higher?

“I don’t want to
die, baby. I want to fall asleep next to you. I want to wake up next to you.
I’m fighting this war for you. To be with you.”
