Received Summer Lovin' by Jacquie Biggar as an arc for an honest review. Loved the story of Rebecca having a one night stand that is life changing, the interaction with Mitch, and then the surprises that spring up throughout the book. This was a page turner read, loved it. Looking forward to more from this author. Looking forward to reading more of the Summer Heat set.
The Hunted by Jackie Ivie:
Given to read as an arc by Jacquie Biggar. This book is interesting with quite a different take on purgatory.
Protecting Her Pigg by Melissa Keir
Given to read as an arc by Jacquie Biggar. The story is a good read about an arsonist with a surprising twist at the end.

Oh my God just when I thought Jackie Ivie couldn't top herself she does . I couldn't put it down until I finished reading the whole thing. I love the way jackie gives her stories such depth and feeling. I would recommend this book just for jackie story alone if the rest are as good as she is definitely worth it. I can't wait for the next installment . Great job Jackie.

Miss Rachelle Ayala knows how to soften your heart.
Jolie and Ken's relationship started when they were kids. Ken was being bullied and turned into a very handsome escort. Ken will keep you breathless, his endless love for his sister is unremarkable. Miss Rachelle Ayala knows how to soften your heart. You will adore him more as you go along with the story.
Jolie is an allergy prone who is also has OCD. I loved her friendship with Nikki. Disaster happened during the Bachelor party. Nikki saves the day from the embarrassment. Miss Rachelle Ayala's new series Bad Boy For Hire second book will keep you guessing until the end. This book is so perfect for people who has severe allergy. I can relate it with my daughter. It is an eye-opening especially the epi-pen. I hope I never use that with her.
The setting of the book is in Hawaii. Paradise which is the top of my bucket list. Reading this book gives you insight how the Big Island is aside from the fun adventures of Jolie and Ken.
I LOVED this story. Love will always find way for lovers to connect.

I received an ARC of the book in exchange for my honest review.

I really can't say anything about the bundle, but I can tell you it is worth it just for Jackie Ivie's book. It was fantastic. The characters are really hot and at times funny. There is such a great twist in this book. It was not at all what I was expecting. I will reread it very soon. Jackie let's her male characters have a caring side that makes them different from most of the romance books that I've read and I really appreciate this part of their character. She lets you see the story from both points of view, which for me is a bonus. This is a wonderful buy and I think everyone who loves romance will fall in love all over again with her new story line. Happy Reading.
May 24, 2016
I was given an advanced copy of The Hunted by Jackie Ivie which is featured in this book set, for an honest review. Omg it was very good and I would recommend this book set for that story alone. The characters are a hoot because they realize it is something different about each other that has drawn them together. Fallen angels, an accountant and the place between heaven and hell is what you have to look forward to it this action packed story. All lost souls are lost forever you just need some light to fill the darkness....Great one Jackie, I look forward to the next installment.
July 17, 2016
The only story I have read so far is Jackie Ivie's The Hunted. This wild ride kicks off a new series. The world building is very subtle and doesn’t interrupt the flow of the story to dump information on the reader. The story has humor, action, and very steamy romance. The story starts off with a bang and provides surprises right up to the HEA ending. I was given an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
February 20, 2016
I read The Hunted by Jackie Ivie and it is a fantastic read. Once I srarted reading I could not put it down until it was finished. I do not like to give spoilers during my reviews but I will say what's not to love about sexy hero seeking his shot at redemption with a paranormal twist. I love that Jackie writes a female character who is bright, funny and strong. What a amazing start to the series. I can not wait to read rest.
February 19, 2016
I just finished Jackie Ivie's The Hunted and I can honestly say this is going to be a GREAT series! Strong characters and the ending.......and well, it brought happy tears to my eyes. I've read every one of her books the moment they were released and JACKIE IVIE is the only author I can say that about.
February 20, 2016
Jackie Ivie has done it again! I'm a huge fan of her VAL series and am always excited when a new book comes out. Now we have a whole new drool worthy series! I'm already hooked and jonesing for the next book in this series! The Hunted had me on the edge of my seat and once I started reading I couldn't put the book down!!!!!!
February 20, 2016
I received an ARC of THE HUNTED by Jackie Ivie for an honest review. Jackie as such an amazing writing skill that it makes you wish she'd finish 10 books before you read the first one. I couldn't put it down. For those who have not read it... I would you suggest that you give this book and her other books a try because you'll love it.
February 20, 2016
Jackie Ivie does it again! I will definitely be following her new series. The humour and romance are great and the characters are completely loveable. Jackie really sets the scene with great attention to detail it makes it so easy to imagine yourself there. Can't wait for book two!
February 20, 2016
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...# just finished hunted by jackie ivie . loved it cant wait for next in series .will have summer heat on order cant wait read the rest of them if they anything like hunted i will be glued to it
February 20, 2016
I received an ARC of THE HUNTED by Jackie Ivie for an honest review. And boy, oh boy! Fast paced and full of steam, this is a fun and engaging read with great characters and an interesting plot. I'll be following Jackie Ivie's Chronicles of the Hunters series and look forward to a second dose.

Bad Boys For Hire: Ken is a deeply moving and intensely raw journey of learning to truly accept every part of yourself. If you don’t love yourself, you will never believe that anyone else can ever honestly love you. Wisdom may come with age, but that doesn’t mean that it gets any easier to find reasons to love yourself when you have been clearly shown just how deeply flawed and perfectly unworthy you are of the mark set before you. No matter how powerful and genuine the love of another is, it will never be able to penetrate your heart if you refuse to believe that you are loveable. If you aren’t careful, you can slowly tear your world apart with uncontrolled doubt and baseless guilt. The best we can do is to learn to let go and accept the realization that we were created to be perfectly imperfect. Only One is perfect, and His love is the only thing that can make you perfect.
Jolie was forced to endure the worst thing possible on her wedding day. Not only was her fiancé missing, but he had cheated on her with a stripper from his bachelor party. To add insult to injury, she found her wedding itself falling apart just like her relationship with her ex. Digging deep, she pasted on a fake smile and chose to face and thank each of those who attended her ceremony for their support and love. Falling apart just like her dream wedding was not an option, so she waited until she could do it in later in private. In an attempt to cheer her up and prove to her that there was still come good in this world, her friends hired an escort name Ken to show her a good time on her honeymoon. He was determined to show her a good time after the pain and humiliation that Jolie was forced to endure. Would the romantic atmosphere and mysterious charm of the Islands cloud their better judgment, or would they discover more than either of them bargained for?
Ken and Jolie both fascinated me for very different reasons. While Jolie’s circumstances are very different from anything I have ever had to endure, I can completely identify with how she felt about measuring up short to those around her. That’s an easy thing to identify with when you have been raised being told that you just aren’t good enough. It’s hard to go through life knowing you are different through no true fault of your own. Life just seems to throw more blessing and advantages to some and not others. Ken’s inner struggle wasn’t about recognition since his outward transformation but about learning that while he could make his intentions known, it was up the other person as to whether they wanted what he had to offer. He had to learn what truly loving another person meant. While vulnerably and sacrifices hurt, in the end they will without a doubt bring you the greatest rewards.
I never fail to fall hopelessly in love with a story carefully and lovingly crafted by Rachelle Ayala. Her masterful talent never fails to astound and amaze me. This is one author that you don’t want to miss out on! Her heart is what draws me to her and keeps me coming back for more. She can tenderly touch and heal the raw parts of your heart, and show you that it really is ok to be you. We just need to strive to become a better version of who we are each and every day.

Another awesome book by Rachelle Ayala. Bad Boys for Hire Ken. I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Jolie is an organized person, she has her life mapped out where she wants to be at certain points in her life. She has her wedding and honey moon planned out. She is always one who follows through on all her plans. When her groom doesn't show up for the wedding. Well he does, but she doesn't know that, thanks to her meddling friends. Her friend Nikki hires a replacement.
Once the replacement shows up the book gets better and better. There are sad parts, funny parts and twists. I found it really hard to put down. I think you will too. (less)
I also had the chance to read Festival by the Sea by Traci Hall. One you pick up this book it is so hard to put down. I started it and finished it the same night. Darcy , her brother Dax and his best friend Al have been friends for a long time. Darcy returns home, when her father passes away to help Dax run their business called the Dive Shop.
Dax senses their is something worrying his sister but can't get her to tell him what it is. He asks Al to spend some time with Darcy because she used to confide her secrets to Al when they were kids.
I think you will enjoy this book. The only thing I found wrong with it, is it ended way to soon, I wanted to keep reading and reading.
I also read Summer Lovin by Jacquie Biggar. An awesome read. Once you pick it up it is sooo hard to put down. I really enjoyed it. It makes you laugh, makes you cry and keeps you wondering what is gonna happen next.
Rebecca and Mitch share a secret that no-one else knows. They try to avoid each other in town and then things start happening that put the two of them together. Rebecca is a teacher and she witnesses a young boy that does not go to her school and fears that he is in an abusive relationship. She tries to help him. Will she be able to help him or make matters worse. I don't want to give the answer away so why don't you pick up a copy and check it out. You will be surprised. It really is a great read

So far, I've read only Michele Hauf's THE GEEK GETS THE GIRL, but it is so good, I rate the whole box set a 5-star read, because only this book is worth the cost! I'm sure the others are just as good!
Rachel Parker, whose job is in marketing, is in Paris and because of problems in the local branch of Haute Heels is now acting as manager. The computer systems are in dire needs of upgrades, but it seems a certain Zac will be taking care of that. Zac is not at all the type of guy who usually gets her hot, but there is a certain je ne sais quoi to the nerd, oops! sorry, Zac the geek! However, Zac is more than the IT person; he is in fact the CEO and he is incognito to see what ails the Paris branch of Haute Heels. He only looks like the proverbial geek because his baggage got lost and he has to make do with his spare glasses and some cheap clothes. Zac is more than intrigued by Rachel, who seems to be coming on to him.
THE GEEK GETS THE GIRL is a delicious case of partially mistaken identity, and it is positively gorgeously written. Who could resist delights such as “office ephemera”! Ms. Hauf’s writing is so eloquent, I could easily picture Parisian flair, French chic and I could clearly see Zac and Rachel. There was a lot of chemistry between Zac and Rachel, and I loved them both so much. They feel real, they are so engaging, and Rachel is a take-charge kind of woman for real, and Zac is just wonderful, and such a welcome change from all those controlling, dominant, domineering leads that are just about everywhere. THE GEEK GETS THE GIRL is such a refreshing book; such great characters are rare, their behaviour remains consistent throughout, every situation is perfectly handled; THE GEEK GETS THE GIRL is a most excellent book, don’t miss it!
I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

THE HUNTED by Jackie Ivie.......
The first story in Jackie Ivie’s brand new series THE HUNTED is an exciting suspense/romance that will keep readers at the edge of their seats till the very last page.
Woken by her internal body clock and ready for the Miami sun to relieve her pre-meeting anxiety, the last thing LeeAnn expects is to find a stranger in her hotel room or the attempt on her life that follows.
Kane has a mission, and protecting the target at all costs is a must; and rules are there for a reason, so allowing personal feelings to muddy the waters are definitely not part of the equation. But Kane is experiencing something beyond comprehension since he first laid eyes on this exquisite woman, and his ability to treat LeeAnn like any other job is becoming more and more difficult.
On the run from an unknown Hunter, and battling the desire that consumes them both, LeeAnn is about to discover that not everything you read in those fantasy novels is fiction. Darkness and light come in many forms, so in a moment of profound clarity, Kane will reveal a secret thought only real in nightmares, risking eternal damnation and his mortal soul.
THE HUNTED is a riveting read and a fabulous beginning to this brand new series!

I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC of The Hunted by Jackie Ivie. I liked LeeAnn and Kane, they were both interesting characters. LeeAnn was not afraid to show her vulnerable side and yet be strong at the same time. Kane was a take charge kind of guy who just so happens to be a total hottie! I felt the beginning was a little slow, but picked up half way through. The shower scene was AMAZING (Jackie always nails the sexy stuff!!) and captured their emotions perfectly! After that, the story felt rushed and I was trying to keep up. I was surprised by the revelation of "what" Kane was and where they were at the end. I would have liked more information and details. I really liked what happened with Kane at the end but it was just so hurried and bam! it was over. I am struggling to write this review because I have never given anything less than a 4 star review for Jackie's books. I love her writing and story telling. I look forward to more from this new series and am interested to learn more about the Hunters.

I did not read the whole box set but I received an ARC from Kathy Ivan for my honest review of Sex, Lies and Apple Pies. What an awesome story! I loved every minute of it and hated to see it end. I just loved the Slade character the best. Very well written and a great cast of characters that all interact with each other so well. It is a mystery with some romance thrown in. I am not going to ruin the story by telling you about it but it will keep you reading and wondering what will happen next.

I must say this was definitely HOT. The steamy romances were amazing. This is a great collection of very good steamy stories from authors that have that knack to make you heat from the inside out. Each author has a unique voice and way of writing and by combining the stories in this collection you never got bored. This is a great addition to any readers library who likes to read stories with the HEA.

Review for
Bad Boys For Hire: Ken by Rachelle Ayala
Fun, sassy and very entertaining! Another great story of love finding it's way and overcoming even the most picky and uncooperative people. Jolie's perfectly planned wedding turns out not so perfect after all: shellfish for a family plagued with allergies, flowers switched with another wedding, redecorating the cake just before the wedding, and, to top it off, the groom got too cozy to one of the strippers. Her friends couldn't let Jolie's special day go down the drain, so they did the only thing they could do: hire a male scort to replace the groom. While Ken, former surfer, awaits his first acting gig, he accepts a job with Bad Boys for Hire. When he's contacted to make a last minute appearance as the groom in a doomed wedding, he realizes that the bride is non other than his childhood crush. He's determined to persue her, so he follows her on her bittermoon in order to win her heart.
Review for
Summer Lovin' by Jacquie Biggar
Beautiful, fun, entertaining and hot story line. Rebecca's secret is on the verge of coming out when Mitch can't wait any longer to make good on the vows they exchanged. When trouble in the form of two boys and their less than ideal caretaker, Mitch protective's side gets turned on and he will do anything to help these kids and winning his wife's heart in the process. Even though is part of a series, can be read as a standalone. Will definitely be looking up the previous books in the series.
