Mitch is sexy and amusing. When she goes to a voyeurism club and finds him tending bar, she decides to have him fulfill her BDSM curiosity, with humorous results. The best lines in the book go to Mrs. T and the SFTFS club, they are dirty, straight to the point ladies.

I received a copy of this book from Love Books. This is a great story of love and trust. It's full of romance and drama and mystery and suspense. I really like Devon, she rose above her family and her past to become strong, independent and ethical. Bennett is too quick to jump to conclusions, always the wrong ones, for me to really like. But I like Bennett way more than I like Dom, his father or her Devon's father. My favorite character is Bennett's granddad. There is so much intrigue and lying going on, you just can't put the book down until you find out what is actually going on. It's intense and engrossing and entertaining.

I received a copy of this book from the Love Books. This story is so unique and dramatic. Hill, Marty and Pete are fascinating, the dynamics between the three of them are amazingly easy and warm.

The ending could have gone a little further as far as the whole commitment stands. But it really is a very enjoyable story.

I received a copy of this book from the author. This is a very strange story. I love the concept, but it seriously takes forever to actually like Cyprian. If you didn't know how old he was you would probably guess that he was around 20. And I get that his head is messed up, but still some of the things he says and does are very juvenile. He also made Cami weak. It's full of drama and angst and heartbreak and twists, but it does have a great HEA.

This is the best book that I have read in a long time. OMG the jokes, I was dying. Mork, Al (thanks for that), potatoe. Kasey has a great sense of humor with dry wit.

I received a copy of this book from Hidden Gems. I am voluntarily giving my honest opinion. This is sweet, hot and suspenseful. It keeps you on the edge of your seat for sure. The end was interestingly shocking. The only problem I had was the daddy/babygirl. I think it would have been much more romantic if she didn't call him daddy, especially the way it ended. But it is a very entertaining story that can make you hot and bothered, and make you tear up.

I was gifted an advance copy of this book. I'm choosing to review it. I have never been disappointed with a Deborah Cooke book, and I am not with one either. The storyline is intriguing and entertaining and the characters are very intense. I'm not sure how much I really like Amy, she was great until Matteo showed up, then she got shallow and sneaky. I love Ty, he's sweet, a bit shy, charming and a really really nice guy. I felt so bad for him every time Amy called Matteo. The book is engrossing and enjoyable, it's full of romance and sweetness, and it has steamy hot scenes. I highly recommend this book.
