The Billionaire's Secrets by J.S Scott

Author: J.S Scott
Release Date: November 7, 2017





I finally got around to reading this book and I was not disappointed at least of the intensity and rawness of this story. I have followed this series and I could not wait to read Xander's story.  Xander was a rock star who witnessed the murder of his parents which resulted in addiction and PTSD.  If you have been following the series, then you know that Xander is the younger brother of Micah and Julian from the previous books. Desperate to have their brother back, Micah and Julian hire a "housekeeper" to help Xander heal and boy does she do it!! Samantha is on a mission to help Julian stay clean and to become involved in society again, no matter the cost.  Unable to deny their attraction to each other, Samantha and Xander embark on a steamy journey, but will Samantha stay after the summer is over?

Xander's story just wowed me because it was so grounded and raw.  Even though I have never suffered from PTSD or experienced such a tragic event, I felt Xander's emotions and it was written so well.  I have always been a fan of J. S Scott because she has a brilliant way of writing a character's emotions and displaying it  on the page.  Xander was everything that I thought that he would be. He was raw, emotionally unstable, and a quite a feat to conquer. Xander was almost killed and he also witnessed his parents being murdered.  This was a major element of this story and it was amazing to see Xander develop from a wounded duck to a beautiful swan. Sorry for the metaphor, but it was all that I could think of at the moment. There is quite a twist in this story that links Samantha and Xander in a way that he nor I was expecting. I really like Samantha and their first meeting was hilarious.

The pacing was a problem for me.  The book took a major nap in the middle and it was off putting. Even though the story turned real sloth like, I enjoyed Xander and Samantha's relationship and their chemistry and intensity pulled me in from the very beginning.  This is an inspiring story and it dives deep in the world of Xander and his suffering from PTSD.  The side characters was not overpowering and the author kept this story focused on Xander and Samantha and that is hard feat when the series has about 7 books. What a great series overall.!

One Sexy Mistake by Sarah Ballance

Author:  Sarah Ballance Date Released: November 28, 2016 Genre: Romance Rating:  3 Stars *** If it wasn't for the weird beginning to this story, I would have gave this book 4 Stars.  This story started out really weird for me to say the least,  but it grabbed my attention. I am glad that I gave this book a chance because this story is really sweet.  This book is about two computer hackers who find love on a dating app. Olivia is a computer hacker who was fired from her job because of her program being prematurely released by someone.  To make matters worse,  she is dumped by her boyfriend the next day. Wanting to have a no strings sexy one night stand, she meets Grady on line, whom is also a computer hacker. The beginning is so awkward and stupid, that I almost quit. She meets this guy on line and goes to his house, not knowing whether he is a serial killer or not. Then they proceed to have sex, but it is so awkward and it made m...

A True Cowboy Christmas

Author:  Caitlyn Crews Date Released :  October 30, 2018 I went backwards with this series because I actually read book 2 titled "Cold Heart, Warm Cowboy" back in 2019 and when I chose this book I had no idea that it was a part of the same series. Weird.. The book that we are gathered here to review is "A True Cowboy Christmas" and it tells the story of Abby and Gray Everett.  Gray Everett does not believe in love based on a failed marriage and think Abby will be the perfect and practical wife to share his life and ranch with.  You lovers do know how that always ends right?  It was a little cliché, but I am always down or up for love. Let's jump into it.  As I stated before, Gray has ranching in his blood and has just buried his very abusive father.  Gray has a teenage daughter and who also happens to be a widow.  Gray has realized that he needs a family for his daughter and an eternal partner.  A marriage without love makes sense right?...
