You've seen the headlines: Womanizing billionaire player! Watch out! Stay away!

We were just two strangers. Facing a forbidden attraction, a chemical connection. Neither of us expected or wanted it to amount to more. 
But I had never been drawn to a guy the way I was drawn to this one: my brother's best friend, and CEO of the company where I interned.
Even knowing I should stay away, I proved to be too human, after all.
The chemistry was amazing.
The laughs were incredible. 
I opened up to him in more ways than I'd opened up to anyone before.
But sex was as far as I'd go. 
Just sex because he was too irresistible.
Just sex because I wouldn't be falling for him.
Just sex because I'd leave in three months, and I'd like for my brother not to kill me, and for nobody to find out he was my wicked little secret.
He wasn't the One. 
He was just a womanizer.
But for a time, he would be mine. 

I love Katy Evans writing. When she has a new book release, you drop everything to pick it up. Her writing is flawless and smooth. Womanizer is another great addition to her collection.

So this is the first of the Manwhore series that I was able to read. ::Hangs head in shame:: But I am a huge fan of Katy’s from the Real series, so I had to check it out. I mean, hot billionaire CEO and the best-friend’s baby sister…What’s not to love? This is a forbidden love story at its finest.

I love Livvy’s determination to be a hard working girl and to shun all the stereotypes of the beautiful blonde bombshell. She wants to work hard and prove herself. While having that single-minded focus, a coincidental meeting on a terrace makes her think that maybe a little one-night stand won’t deter her intention. What she wasn’t ready for was the sparks and the sizzle between her and this gorgeous man.

Callan is never wowed by women. He smart, strong, sexy and a billionaire. He could have his pick of whomever, but Olivia just keeps surprising him. He can’t get over this new addiction with her. He sees as more than just sex, but realizes, this is his best friend’s baby sister. She’s off-limits. But he can’t resist.

This story was hot, steamy and every sort of yummy. It was fun, exciting and the chemistry was off the charts. This gave me all the feels and I absolutely loved it.  

Knox (Sexy Bastard) ~ Eve Jagger

Blurb

Sexy. Famous. A player on and off the field.

Cooper Knox has a body built for sex and sin, and he's my dirty little secret.

He was supposed to be a one-night stand - but now he’s back in town, and he’s going to find out the truth.

I’m his best friend’s little sister: off-limits and totally out of his league.

We swore we’d stay away from each other.

Our secret could destroy everything.

But Knox always gets what he wants.

And he wants me

Review

I love me some sexy baseball players and Knox does not disappoint. As much as it sucked that Knox was traded, I’m actually happier that he ends up being a Brave….and so are his friends. It’s like a coming home for him and now he can spend more time with Shelby if he can find her again.

When Cooper Knox finds out who Shelby really is, man does that throw him for a loop! And Shelby, thinking that she won’t be seeing Knox again for a while, gets a big surprise when she realizes he will be very much around.

Shelby and Cooper’s chemistry is off the charts. Why they try to stay away from each other may look good on paper, but it doesn’t take long for them to say “consequences be damned!” Shelby is one awesome chick; smart, sexy and witty. How could Knox possibly stay away? The problem is if Jackson, Shelby’s older brother and Knox’s best friend, finds out.

I don’t want to give too much away, but I loved Shelby and Knox’s story. It also gives us a chance to see the other Sexy Bastards again and what’s going on with the whole gang. I need to know more about Jackson though. I hope his story is next (Hint Hint).

A Night With Knox: (A Sexy Bastard Novella) ~ Eve Jagger

  

 

One night. 

A sexy secret. 

And a New Year’s Eve they’ll never forget.

Pro baseball player Cooper Knox is tired of groupies and fans - so when a sassy brunette with curves for days doesn’t recognize him, he’s not about to let his secret slip. 

She wants a night to remember - and he’s going to show her a few moves she’ll never forget. 

 But secrets have a way of catching up with you - and when the ball drops at midnight, the new year isn’t the only thing that will be starting with a bang.   

For a short novella, Eve, you did not disappoint. I love Knox already and cannot wait to get more of his and Shelby’s story. A Night with Knox is fun, witty and super hot!!

Shelby is alone. Her brother scares every, and I mean every guys off. Her most recent date left her hanging on New Year’s Eve. She is smart, beautiful and quick witted. She deserves some fun and Knox is her kind of fun.

Cooper is tired of the baseball groupies and wishes he could find someone who has no clue who he is. He needs someone who could care about him, for him. When he runs in to Shelby and introduces himself, she doesn’t fawn all over him like all the other women do. Don’t get me wrong, he is super sexy, but she’s able to bust his balls and they have a lot of fun together.

The night they spend together is hot and steamy. I was totally into it and then, bam! Book over! I want more NOW! I cannot wait to hear the rest of their story

Forbid Me (The Good Ol' Boys #2) ~ M. Robinson

It was only a matter of time until the truth came out. 
I never thought it would come to this… 
I tried, God knows I tried to stay away from her but eventually I crossed that line and broke that trust. I could no longer go back and I sure as fuck didn’t regret a single moment of it. I knew there would be hell to pay, I knew the wrath I’d be facing but I would willingly take the burns and scars just to have the love of my best friend's sister. 
If there is one person I’d willingly go to hell and back for it was…

Standalone within a series. New Adult Contemporary Romance: Strong language and sexual content, not intended for readers under 18.

I absolutely loved Forbid Me! Dare I say, I loved it more than Complicate Me?! I know you are all saying “for shame,” but I could not get enough of Jacob! Yes, both are 5 star reviews to me, but Forbid Me would be a 5++.

While Forbid Me can be read as a standalone, I’m happy I read Complicate Me before hand. Major props to M for being able to reference things that happened in Complicate Me, without taking up space in this story to recap it all. It drives me crazy when authors do that just to stretch out a book. M’s characters are well developed and her writing gets you sucked right in to the story. I also completely love the now and then theme going on thorough out the book. The fact that there was drama (the forbidden best friend’s baby sister and 7 year age difference) it was not “in your face” craziness, which made it more enjoyable for me. I didn’t have to hear about the details of them sleeping with other people, which we know happens, but it wasn’t thrown in their faces. That would have hurt my heart as I’m sure it would have theirs. Make sense?  

While Jacob and Lily started off as young and immature, we were able to see them grow up and feel their connection through the pages. There were many emotional times where I wanted to smack some sense in to those two. (Granted, not as much as Lucas and Alex though). As stubborn as Lily was, I’m also proud of her for standing her ground and not jumping in too soon. On the other hand, yes, Jacob screwed up, but he worked really hard to earn her trust and love back. This could have been avoided had he told Lily what happened those years ago, but his own personal hurt and embarrassment held him back.

Lily’s connection to her mom gutted me. This was something that hit really close to home for me. Watching someone you love suffer and being completely helpless, trying to get in every last moment you can and then still not being sure if you said all the things you wanted to say, just… well it fucking blows. It eats away at you and couple that with the struggles that she had with Jacob…no wonder Lily had her walls up.

That being said, I’m glad Jacob didn’t give up. Actually, I was kind of cheering that he had to work hard since he gave Half-Pint and Lucas such a hard time about their relationship. He didn’t run and didn’t let Lily run, either. A certain “battery” scene comes to mind. :: giggle:: Once you read the book, you’ll know what I’m talking about. I laughed, cried, made frustrated noises and had to fan myself a couple times due to the hot sex scenes!! You can’t help but fall in love with these two and you can’t help but itch for Dylan and Aubrey’s story next. Well done M, well done.
