REVIEW Ryder by L.A. Casey

Branna Murphy is broken. For months now she has been a part of a one-sided relationship to a man she loves more than life itself. She prayed for a miracle, and hoped something would change, but found that was wishful thinking.

Talking didn’t work. Shouting didn’t work. Crying didn’t work. Nothing bloody worked.

Ryder Slater is furious. For months now he has been lying to a woman he would take a bullet for in order to protect her. He is involved in something that goes deeper than his old past, and if he strays off target, people will start to die. People he loves.

He couldn’t talk. He couldn’t slip up. He couldn’t lose focus. He couldn’t do a damn thing.

Things between Ryder and Branna are at rock bottom, and Ryder knows it. Not only will he be taking on a force that could destroy his whole family, but he will be battling tooth and nail to save his relationship and keep the love of his life by his side.

Ryder targeted Branna from the first moment he saw her, and what Ryder targets, Ryder dominates.

I received an ARC of Ryder by L.A. Casey in exchange for an honest review.

I have got to start by saying that I absolutely adore L.A. Casey and this is one woman who in my eyes can do no wrong. Ryder is no exception to this statement. There is a slightly different feel to Ryder than there is to the previous books in this series, but I believe that is down to the new approach Casey has taken. 

There are quite a few flashbacks in Ryder, this enhances the story beautifully as you get to explore Branna and Ryder's relationship right from the very beginning. Learning Ryder's secret was worth the wait as this book is filled with suspense, action and yes a good amount of romance. 

Branna is a wonderful heroine and her thoughts and reactions are so real and so well written that you completely understand her point of view and experience her joy and heartbreak right alongside her. You also get to see a brand new side to Ryder and what is also fantastic about this particular book is that both Ryder and Branna are the responsible adults and basically the parental figures of the group. Because of this, all of the siblings responses to every situation are priceless and really make this a Must Read book for 2016.

REVIEW Guarding His Obsession by Alexa Riley

When Drake Hart's security team is hired to find a stalker, he has no idea what's in store for him. However, the day Zoey Lewis' picture lands in his lap, there's nothing he won't do to save her. He's always been quiet and shy, but seeing her changes everything. 

Zoey is missing a filter when it comes to interacting with people. She's used to being lost in her computer and being taken care of by her sister. She's an oddball, and people find it hard to deal with. But when Drake Hulk-smashes his way into her world, she doesn't feel so out of place. 

When Zoey is threatened and needs protection, will Drake save the day? With a body like his, all signs point to yes! 

Warning: He owns a security firm. She's a little nerdy. It's a classic trope and a recipe for sugary-sweet erotica! 

I received a copy of Guarding His Obsession by Alexa Riley in exchange for an honest review. 

Alexa Riley strikes again! Guarding His Obsession is another hot, sexy, romantic read that is perfect after a hard day at work. Alexa Riley has perfected the insta-love genre with these sweet and sensual reads. 

In this book we follow Zoey ,who is odd yet completely loveable and a pleasure to read. She is smart and witty as well as being beautiful so you can completely see why Drake falls for her hard and fast. I adored how Drake was a serious Alpha male with a heart of gold and a possessive streak a mile wide. 

There is a perfect amount of action just to give you something else in addition to all the romance not only with Zoey but with her sister Elle. Once again Alexa Riley gives us a sensational book with the best epilogue. 

Review of Red Card by Carrie Aarons

She spent five years planning a future that will never exist. He spent five years trying to erase a past he can’t forget. 

London is Leah Watson’s fresh start. When she secures the perfect internship during her study abroad semester, with an infamous celebrity public relations firm, she is determined to forge her own path - one that is nothing like her life back in Oklahoma. That plan is tested when British football’s bad boy, Killian Ramsey, decides that she's the one he wants and he's playing for keeps. 

Will she put her future on hold - again - for the type of man she swore she'd stay away from? 

Killian is one bloody good football player. After a tragedy shattered his entire world, the cocky and arrogant face he puts on for the media is a complete lie. When he meets Leah, his heart starts to beat for the first time in years. But when the feelings get too real, his perfectly constructed facade starts to slip. 

Will he risk it all to be with her - taking whatever penalties are thrown his way - or will he play it safe? 

I received a copy of Red Card by Carrie Aarons in exchange for an honest review. 

Carrie Aarons, you've got a brand new fan! I loved Red Card and all the wonderful characters it was a pleasure to discover. 

Leah Watson has had her heart broken, she let her life revolve around her boyfriend and when he breaks up with her she no longer knows what to do with her life. Leah is independent, strong but she has this beautiful vulnerability to her that makes her completely loveable. 

 Killian is the cocky arrogant bad boy with a big chip on his shoulder. His journey throughout this book is amazing to read and you find yourself falling for him and his Alpha Male ways right from the beginning. 

There is so much that happens in Red Card and Carrie Aarons has written this book perfectly. There are probably a few sensitive subjects but everything is handled so beautifully that this book really is a very special read.
