Dear Bridget, I Want You ~ Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland

Dear Bridget,

I’m writing this letter because it’s highly doubtful I’ll ever garner the courage to say this to your face. 

So, here goes.

We’re totally wrong for each other. You’re the proper single mum with a good head on your shoulders. I’m just the carefree British doctor passing through town and temporarily living in your converted garage until I head back to England.

But here’s the thing… for some bloody reason, I can’t stop thinking about you in very inappropriate ways. 

I want you.

The only reason I’m even admitting all of this to you right now is because I don’t believe it’s one-sided. I notice your eyes when you look at me, too. And as crass as I appear when we’re joking around about sex, my attraction to you is not a joke. 

So, what’s the purpose of this note? I guess it’s a reminder that we’re adults, that sex is healthy and natural, and that you can find me just through the door past the kitchen. More specifically, it’s to let you know that I’m leaving said door cracked open from now on in case you’d like to visit me in the middle of the night sometime. 

No questions asked. 

Think about it. 

Or don’t. 

Whatever you choose.

It’s doubtful I’ll even end up sliding this letter under your door anyway. 

--Simon

OMG! I loved this book. Another great collaboration with Penelope and Vi. I mean, read the blurb! Hello! So freaking HOT! I loved these characters and the premise of the story. The whole, "I want you, but shouldn't. You're going to leave. I can't get attached." scenario completely amplified the sexual tension between these two. 

Bridget's backstory broke my heart. The tragedy her family faced is something many don't get over. But she works hard and continues to move forward. Jumping back on the saddle, so to speak, is not something she has considered for quite a long time, but the feelings Simon stirs are undeniable. 

Simon isn't looking for attachment. He's just passing though on his residency until he returns to England. Yet, Simon cannot get enough of Bridget. She's not like the young, immature women he has dated. She's something he never expected and we can feel his desire through the pages of the book. 

There were many laughs, some tears and lots of page turning as I flew threw this book. Emotional and fun all at the same time. And super, super HOT!! Definite "one-click" worthy!

The Outskirts: (The Outskirts Duet Book 1) ~ T.M. Frazier

The swamp is about to get a whole lot HOTTER. 

After a tragedy, Finn Hollis escapes

into the swamp to be alone. 

That is until Sawyer Dixon shows up, 

all SCORCHING HOT innocence, 

claiming she owns the land less than 

fifty feet from his front door. 

Sawyer gets under his SKIN, but even worse? 

She makes him CRAVE things. 

Things Finn hasn’t thought about in a very VERY long time. 

Finn WANTS Sawyer gone.

Almost as much as he wants her in his BED.

Another great story by TM Frazier. I really liked this book and I liked that it was different than her dark reads I already fell in love with. The characters and the story were so well written. I just fell in love with them. Well most of them. There was a couple characters I wanted to punch in the face.....but I digress.

Finn is hidden away in his little swamp with his broken heart and terrible attitude. I love that Sawyer knocks him on his butt and she doesn't even realize she did. The determined and free girl that Sawyer has become is inspiring and just makes me so proud of her. She makes Finn a better person. She makes others around her better. 

Besides being amazingly hot, Fin is super sentimental and emotional, but don't let him hear that I told you that. He needs you to believe he's mean and scary. You know, so he can stay ostracized from everyone and have a pity party of one. On a serious note, the traumatic events he went through are nothing to scoff at. I don't know how I would have reacted to a situation like his, but at the same time, I know he should be blaming himself. Which is all he does. 

Like I said, I love what Sawyer brings out of everyone and how she brings people together. I love that Finn is finally able to be scared again, but because of the feelings he has that he hasn't in a long time. What I did not like was that twist at the end there, which I kept flipping the page and thinking, "No. It can't be done yet." Well played TM. Well played.

William Tate Morrison – The man who came into my life and turned my entire world—and me—on its ass.

Logan Mitchell has always been a man with a plan.
One for work. One for his relationship. And one for his life. Which is exactly the way he liked it—until recently.
Now with words like marriage and weddings floating around his head, Logan’s plans have suddenly changed course, and where they want him to go has him feeling somewhat distracted.

Tate Morrison knows Logan better than anybody else—or so he thinks. So when his lawyer is finding it hard to sleep at night, he chalks it up to the craziness that has recently descended on their lives.
Never in a million years would he guess what’s really on Logan’s mind.

Tate is the fifth book in the Temptation Series, and the next chapter in the lives of the two men we have all come to know and love..

Will I ever get enough of these two?! Gah! I just love Tate and Logan. Even though there were a few times in this book I wanted to slap Tate, I did want to hug him more often then not. I love how Logan and Tate are with each other. The way they set each other on fire and the way they comfort each other. They just balance each other out and have a love all of us wish they had. 

The twist of this book was not a nice one! Ella, I may have to beat you the next time I see you for that. Without giving too much away, you better be happy I love you and that you picked up the pieces of my heart after that one! But alas, it was another wonderful addition to the Temptation series. 

I love these characters and the way Ella writes. I am completely, emotionally invested in Tate and Logan's life and it's all because of Ella's wonderful writing. I'm constantly on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book to come out, because I have to know what happens.
