Four beautifully crafted stories...

More Than Love You
Mind Blowing, Passionate and Raw...

These 3 words come to mind when I read this third book in "The More Than" series.

Noah Weston, first impression you think he is all brawn, sex on the brain 24/7, football player. Noah is now retired with no thought of what he is going to do next. He buys a paradise property in Hawaii to get some R&R to think what his next move is. What he did not count on when he arrived at his house is a hot looking goddess rocking a red bikini. Harlow Reed, someone who makes him weak at the knees and fall hard for at the get go.

They make an agreement. Harlow will help him get camera ready for a position he is pondering on accepting and Noah will pay Harlow, but also give her mind altering sex that Harlow is definitely up for. There is more to this story than meets the eye. Shayla captures the very essence of this couple with her words that wrenched my heart and made me fall in love with this couple. Because of the turmoil Harlow has experienced in her life, she is scared and cautious to commit to Noah by pushing him away when she really wants to be close to him.

Noah wears his heart on his sleeve and does everything to help Harlow believe that he is there for her for whatever she needs to get her through this dark tunnel and into his arms forever. This book is my favourite of the 3 books, I am a romantic at heart and found tears welling up on more than one occasion. This is one story that you need to see to the end, it is so worth the read.

Seducing The Bride
The One that got away...

Hayden Hughes is in a hot mess of a predicament. He has sexual feelings for his friend and business partner's daughter. Normally that should not be a problem, but she is 12 years his junior and has her whole life ahead of her. Perrie Atkins has always hada crush on Hayden. They have known each other for years and are good friends and have fun together, good clean fun. But as time has gone on, she has found herself in love with him. To her a difference in age is not an issue. When Perrie propositions Hayden, he finds himself in a very hard dilemma. His body is on board for having some steamy sex with Perrie, but his mind is a whole other matter. He has to be the mature one here, so he says it can't happen. It would jeopardize his personal and business relationship with her father.

Fast forward 4 years. Perrie comes home and with her a surprise. Hayden finds himself kicking himself for letting her get away. He makes it his mission to win her back at all costs. But he does not have much time to make this happen. A wonderful quick saucy read that was fully enjoyed by this reader.

Devoted to Wicked
Shayla does not disappoint...

I was given an opportunity to read an Advanced Readers Copy from the Author Shayla Black. I have not read any of the Wicked Lovers books from Shayla so the characters are new to me. I immediately was drawn to the characters in this novella and had no problem in following the story from the get go. It was a fast paced sexy read.

The story starts with Karis pretty much trapped in Mexico after having her passport stolen at the resort where she is staying. Panicked she calls her sister telling her what happened. The person who is sent to rescue her is none other than Cage, a one night stand she had on New Years' Eve. Cage shows up to assist in her moment of need, but also to find out why Karis had been avoiding him since their hot night of passion. Their chemistry for each other was off the charts, and he is determined to find out what happened, but to also protect her at all cost as Cage is suspicious there is something more than meets the eye with the theft.

Karis is confused why Cage has shown up after ignoring her after New Years' Eve. She does not want to have her heart broken again by Cage. They both seem to have their wires crossed and we find out why as the story unfolds.

This was a novella, but I was wishing I could read more. Another home run Shayla....

Seduced by the Bodyguard
Protect What You Love...

Who wouldn't want to be protected by a gorgeously hot bodyguard? Rand is asked by his friend to safeguard Sophie who has someone out to kill her. Sophie and Rand are immediately drawn to each other and this book has steam off the charts. There are lots of twists and turns trying to find out whodunit. A short sexy and suspenseful read with a happy ending.

4.3 STARS - all together


5 STARS


More Than Love You is a sexy standalone book within a series (More Than Words #3). I have loved reading all 3 from More Than Words series but, this one is my favorite!

Noah Weston’s tongue is hanging from the very first words for his Dirty Dream kind of a woman. His fantasy woman. Noah’s description of her.

“Inky hair flows down her shoulders to a truly spectacular pair of breast and banging curves.”

Noah just bought the house that Harlow Reed is house sitting. Noah bought the house from Maxon Reed (whose story was told in More Than Words & Griff Reed Book 2 More Than Need You) and if you couldn’t have guessed since her name is Harlow Reed that she is the sister to Maxon and Griff.

Noah has just retired from being quarterback from an “iconic football team”.

What I loved about More Than Love you is that there was also a message about Football injuries and the number of concussions that this sport has. Most people never realized the effect that it has on football players.

Noah had to retire due to the injuries he has had. Harlow is a speech therapist and recognized that Noah had problems with his speech and thought process. I don’t want to say more because I don’t want to give any spoilers.

I really enjoyed this book. It was HOT and Sexy and it had a good story to boot. I give More Than Love You 5 stars.

Now I am hoping there might be at least one more book in this series. I think Evan needs to tell his side of the story.

Devoted to Wicked is a cross-over Novella between Wicked Lovers and Devoted Lovers Series. Book #0.5. Devoted to Pleasure is coming July 3, 2018. I can’t wait!

Karis gets stuck in Mexico and needs to be rescued. Go Cage! He now gets a second chance.

Devoted to Wicked is a quick book to read and shouldn’t take more than a couple of hours at the most to read.

I haven’t read any of the Wicked Lovers series but, I will be rectifying that. I now have Wicked Ties the first book of that series on my Kindle oh and I will be listening to it since, I got it on Audible and I will start it soon!


4 STARS


Seduced by the Bodyguard is the 5th book in the Forbidden Confessions Series. This is a sexy as sin novella and it is full of romance, love, action and yes sex. This is also an instalove romance so you will need to suspend reality and just go with it and it can easily be read as a standalone!

This is Sophie Larsen and Rand Garrison’s story. Sophie is a singer and someone is out to kill her. Rand is filling in for a friend & is her bodyguard for an event when someone takes a shot at her from the crowd.

Their story continues as they fall for each other. I am really enjoying this Forbidden Confessions and it is great to fit in these short and sexy stories between longer books!

You just can't go wrong with a Shayla Black romance. Summer Fling box set is the perfect introduction to her work. So kick back, relax and enjoy. You won't be sorry.

More than love you
Retire NFL star Noah Weston wants Harlow Reed. They have great chemistry but she is commitment phobic and doesn't believe in love. Despite lots of stumbling blocka he pursues a relationship that will lead to happiness for them both.

Seducing the Bride
An older man, younger woman romance done with a delightful twist. He broke her heart four years ago now he has one week to make her his forever.

Devoted to Wicked
Quick steamy, spicy read with just a bit of danger mixed in. She was so wrong about him despite their incredible night together. Trying to figure out what went wrong has him tied up in knots.

Seduced by the Bodyguard
He's the quintessential bodyguard: stoic, hyper-focused, gorgeous. She's the blonde bombshell pop star whose life is endangered. Together they are explosively hot and may just set you pages on fire.

I loved each story and will continue to one click anything Shayla puts out! Her attention to detail in each of her stories makes them wonderful and they will hook you from the start.
