Book Review: The Baller (Down & Dirty Football #1) by Vi Keeland #Giveaway
The last thing that up and coming sports reporter Delilah Maddox needs during her first locker room interview is a cocky football player giving her a hard time. However, that is exactly what she gets from star quarterback Brody Easton. Emphasis on cocky and hard. Brody isn't used to women turning him down and he wants Delilah badly, but she doesn't go out with "players." What follows is a relentless, sexy and comical pursuit that Delilah has no hopes on escaping. But Brody has some shit in his past so what happens when all of that resurfaces just when he's got Delilah right where he wants her?
I have had the honor and pleasure of reading and reviewing most of Vi Keeland's book and I swear each one is better than the last. The Baller is by far my favorite from this author and one of my top 2 favorites of 2016 so far. It was just brilliant! It had humor and amazing tension and sexy times while also blending in an intense level of emotions. I loved Brody, of course (who wouldn't?), but who I really fell in love with was Delilah. It's not often that I like a heroine this much, as in never, but Delilah was awesome. So strong and sometimes hilarious. There was a certain scene with a certain outfit that had me hysterical I may have even peed a little bit. She is seriously amazing and I want to be her when I grow up.

Book Review: Mastered (The Enforcers #1) by Maya Banks
I can always count on Maya Banks for a hot dominant hero in her books and Drake Donovan is no exception. Dark, beautiful and beyond wealthy, he can have any woman that he wants. And he does. Often. When Evangeline walks into his nightclub, he can't take his eyes off of her. She doesn't belong in his world with her beautiful innocence, but he must have her.Almost virgin Evangeline doesn't know how she let her girlfriends talk her into going to this sexy nightclub. This is not her. In here eyes, she's just a Plain Jane, but Drake sees something more and she just can't say not to him.
I found Drake to be very mysterious on top of all the sexy, which made him even more alluring. It is clear he does more than just own a nightclub, but we don't get any real clues to what he is. By the end I kind of hated him a little bit (ok, maybe a lot) and I need the next book to see if he can redeem himself.
On the other hand, Evangeline frustrated me a great deal throughout this book. I don't mind a heroine with insecurities, but dear lord I wanted to smack some sense into this one because hers were just too much. But then we ended with her finally growing a set and standing up for herself in a way and I was proud of her for that. I'm hoping to see some more growth from her as we continue on.

Book Review: Wicked Lust (Wicked Horse #2) by Sawyer Bennett
What's hotter than a sexy alpha cowboy that fulfills sexual fantasies? The answer you're looking for is nothing. Nothing is fucking hotter than that. Welcome back to The Wicked Horse!
When Sawyer first introduced Cain at the end of book one, I nearly exploded and I've been dying to read his story ever since. Cain is the head of security at The Wicked Horse as well as a fantasy maker for the dirtier side of the business. And a damn good one. He has no desire to be in a relationship again and this allows him to indulge in endless sex while working towards a good bonus.
Sloane is a reporter here only to sniff out a scandalous story on the supposed sex club. However, she did not plan on Cain. At first she thought to use their attraction to get the information she needs for the story. She soon realizes he is someone special and using him is the last thing she wants to do. But what choice does she have? Both are holding back secrets and it is only a matter of time before the truth is out and everything crumbles.

Book Review: Big Rock by Lauren Blakely #Giveaway
Spencer Holiday is one of New York City's most prominent playboys. But at least he is a gentleman about it. He always makes sure that a woman is well cared for and well satisfied before he sends them on their merry way. Now his father needs him to tone down his manwhore ways to help his father secure the sale of his business, so he ropes in his best friend and business partner, Charlotte, into playing the part of his fiance. Charlotte needs to get her ex off her back so she figures this fiance charade is the perfect way to do that. With a few ground rules in place, what could go wrong?
OMG I loved this book. L.O.V.E.D. It is told 100% from the man's point of view (yessssss!) and it is witty and hilarious and frickin hot. This was such a fun and lighthearted read and as soon as I was done I wanted to start it all over again. Spencer is absolutely delicious. Gentleman playboy might sound like a ridiculous oxymoron, but it truly is what he is. And trust me when I say it is a lethal combination. Poor Charlotte didn't stand a chance. And as it turns out, neither did Spencer. I love a good friends to lovers romance and this one has become one of my top favorites. I don't reread books very often (hardly ever, honestly) but this is going on my to re-read list. LOVE!
