Book Review: The Morning After (Morning #1) by Adriane Leigh

Georgia and Kyle have been together forever. Since they were twelve years old, to be exact, and he was the only person able to break her away from her pain. But now their relationship feels off. Needing something, though she hasn't a clue as to what really, Georgia buys a beach house in North Carolina, where she is going to spend her summer. Not to be away from Kyle, she wishes he would join her, but works keeps him away and in D.C. As usual. She convinces her best friends Drew and Silas to join her though and she is looking forward to quality time with her besties and redecorating her dream home. However, Drew brings some unanticipated guests along with her in the form of her boyfriend and Gavin and his best friend Tristan. Tristan with his slightly too long golden hair, piercing green eyes and panty melting smirk. He is the definition of manwhore, but that doesn't stop the attraction. But Georgia needs to stop thinking about him. She needs to stop lusting after him every time he walks into the room. And she really needs to stop kissing him. Her life and future are with Kyle. Aren't they?

Now, I'm not new to Adriane Leigh's work. I read and very much enjoyed both Wild and Ridge. But this book? This book blew. me. away. Yes it is very sexy but it was also extremely emotional. I'll worn you now that if you have issues reading books that contain cheating, this might not be for you. Although I would strongly urge you to give it a shot anyway.

Georgia is pretty broken inside and has always counted on Kyle for everything. But without realizing it, something in their relationship has shifted. Or maybe something in her is finally waking up. I have to say, as the book went on and the more I saw how Kyle treated Georgia, I liked him less and less. In fact, by the end I was pretty darn close to hating him. So that probably made the cheating a lot easier for me to swallow. I wanted Georgia to be truly happy and I just didn't see that happening with him when it is clear he will always put himself first, his job second and then she gets whatever is left over. Which isn't all that much. Eff that.

Book Review: The Seduction (The Seduction #1) by Roxy Sloane

Vaughn has what most men would probably consider a dream job - getting paid to seduce and sleep with women. His clients pay him to sleep with their wives and return with the evidence that can be used against them. Since he has no intention of ever dating or falling in love, this set up works quite well for him. Keely is a paralegal and the lowest woman on the totem pole at the firm where she works. Her boss is a complete jerk and the only bright point in her day is meeting with the sweet old man to finalize his will. Little does she know that she is Vaughn's next target. Or how meeting with that client just might change her life.

As soon as I read the blurb for this book a few weeks back, I was hooked. I needed it! So as soon as my ARC hit my inbox, I loaded it onto my Kindle and just a little over an hour later I was finished. It doesn't matter that it was the wee hours of the morning, I HAD to read it immediately. And I was not disappointed.

Vaughn has an absolutely filthy mouth and is 100% alpha all the way. I love all that about him but I also hate him because his job sucks and he's an arrogant asshole. There is clearly something in his past which led him to do what  he does, but we have no clue what it is yet. We also don't really know who hired him to compromise Keely, though I have a few suspects in mind. She has no husband and really is just a good girl.
