Misadventures With My Ex
Shayla Black
Misadventures Series
Once, Eryn Hope fell fast and incurably for Weston Quaid. And he seemed to adore her too—until she learned their love was built on lies when he walked out on their wedding day.
Three years later, West has finally won control of his family empire and fortune, but it cost him Eryn—something he regrets every day. When business forces him to return to her life and temporarily shut down her livelihood, of course she’s furious. But their chemistry is still beyond combustible. So he makes her a proposition: he’ll take care of her until her bistro reopens…if she becomes his mistress. Her mind screams no, but her body whimpers yes, yes, yes.
As soon as West has her back in his bed, their passion burns hotter than ever. So do his feelings. But can he and Eryn really recapture the love they shared? And when their bargain ends, will he be the one shattered this time or will they finally come together forever?
***Misadventures is a romantic series of spicy standalone novels, each written or co-written by some of the best names in romance. The stories are scandalous, refreshing, and, of course, incredibly sexy. They’re the perfect bedside read, a ‘quick blush’ for the reader who loves a page-turning romance.***
4 Stars
Eryn was head over heels for Weston. A man who swept her off her feel, made her feel and was ready to spend the
rest of her life him. That is until he didn’t show up for the wedding. No call, no note, no explanation. Eryn picks up the
pieces of what should have been her happily ever after and opens her own business. She tries to move on but something
about Weston, has him stuck in her heart, even though he broke it.
Weston comes from one of those power businesses family’s. When he finds love in a place his mother doesn’t
approve, Weston tries to make it work but in the end he gives up love for family politics. Or does he? Three
years has past and nothing has changed his feelings for Eryn one bit, but convincing the woman of his heart
will be a whole other story.
Shayla Black gives readers another hot and sexy read with Misadventures With My Ex. Second chance stories
are some of my favorites. Eryn and Weston are amazing together. Being such different people, they give a balance
to each other in subtle ways that intern make them each a better person. They have chemistry and attraction, but
discovering the truths of the past they learn that honestly and trust are they only way they will work. Never falling out
of love with your ex, can have it rewards.
Review: Ink by Numbers by Carrie Ann Ryan
Ink by Numbers

Montgomery Ink: Colorado Springs #3.5
Published: March 26, 2019
Kaylee knows art, friendship, and love. And because she’s known love, she wants nothing to do with it ever again. She likes her life just the way it is. Her art and her Brushes with Lushes classes keep her sane and happy.
Landon spends his days with numbers and financial spreadsheets. At night, he just wants to relax, but the only way he can do that is with a woman. But these days, not just any woman will do.
Kaylee and Landon do an excellent job of dancing around each other, but no matter how much desire burns between them or their own personal hang-ups, they’ll need to make a choice: life as they know it, or a life that could be so much more.
4 Stars
Carrie Ann Ryan sweeps readers off their feet with the latest installment of the Montgomery Ink, Colorado Springs series with Ink by Numbers.
If you have been reading the Montgomery’s of Colorado Springs you have gotten to know a little bit about Kaylee and Landon. Kaylee is the lovely and creative owner of Brushes with Lushes. Kaylee has a past I wasn’t expecting but that past helped mold her into the pretty awesome person she has become. Landon is a solid friend of the Montgomery’s and a numbers nerd. The hottie of a man has been a in a rut with his life. Over the course of the Colorado Springs spin off of The Montgomery Ink series we have seen Kaylee and Landon have dance around the chemistry they create. Are they or not, has been a running question for many. Even them. Now we get their story.
Ink by Numbers is a quick, emotional and sweet short story. Kaylee and Landon are so good for each other, it just takes them a while to get there. The romance is slow but once the flame is on, there is not stopping the two. The things we learned of both Kaylee and Landon give such insight to whom they are. Ms. Ryan filled in the blanks for all those questions we had of Landon and Kaylee.

Her life is a joke.

She laughs at inappropriate times.
She talks when she shouldn’t.

Lani Lynn Vale has done it once again.
Ever heard the term calamity Jane? Well that’s Raleigh. Queen of the klutzes. Like myself, this woman will fall going up stairs. A sweet and kind soul that has a disaster happens circumference around her that follows her everywhere she goes. Sometimes claiming others in that disaster. Raleigh has more strength than one would this. Knowing the term walking disaster is light for what she is, she gets up each day and face it head on.
Ezra is one of those people you can’t judge a book by its cover. Well there are moments that made me dislike him, I did realize that once I got to know him he redeemed himself in many nice ways. You could call him a player, but I would say he was just a man that didn’t know what he wanted until it literally fell on his lap.
Ezra and Raleigh story is everything I have come to love and expect from Lani Lynn Vale. A good plot, distinctive character personalities, a good helping of humor and some super hot sexy moments. Hissy Fit is the first in Ms. Vale’s The Southern Gentleman series. Without giving anything away, there are some sensitive moments with in the book, but are handled with elegance and style. Ms. Vale created an engaging story that is emotional, humorous and sexy. That’s definitely a winner in my book.
Review: Wild Ride by Jayne Rylon
Wild Ride
Jayne Rylon
Powertools: Hot Ride Series, Book 1
published: March 19, 2019
Can a marriage of convenience turn into true love? Maybe…with the help of the right man.
Quinn has made mistakes—like sleeping with the wrong people. It’s taken him time to figure out what he wants in bed and out of it. Understandable, since he’s attracted to both men and women and surrounded by a network of friends who seem to have no trouble finding love in any combination.
When he meets Trevon—the sexiest man ever—on the side of the road, only one thing keeps Quinn from pursuing him: Trevon’s even sexier wife, Devra.
Like Quinn, Trevon and Devra have led rough lives. Financial and safety concerns forced them into a marriage of convenience they both secretly wish was more.
The lessons Quinn’s past taught him should put the brakes on his fantasies of propositioning Trevon and Devra for a one-night ménage. But the need to atone for his previous transgressions, along with pure temptation, drives him to bring the struggling couple closer, even if it means breaking his own heart in the process.
This is a standalone book in the Hot Rides series and includes an HEA with no cheating. The series is part of the greater universe where both the Powertools and Hot Rods books are also set, so you can visit with many of your previous favorite characters and see what they’re up to now!
4 Stars
I have been waiting for Quinn’s story and let me say Ms. Rylon did not disappoint in anyway. Quinn’s past was not a pleasant one however he was able to find a family made by bonds not blood. For those that have read the Hot Rod series, Wild Ride is a treat to see the progress Quinn has man. Now a man and responsible, love seems to be the only thing missing from his life.
Trevon and Devra has an interesting and so heartwarming. Married for reasons of safety and security, expressing their wants and desires and love is not something easy for them. This may make you bat an eye but read the story you will completely understand. So much love and passion to be shared, only if their were a friend to help or push.
Wild Ride is only of my top three books from Jayne Rylon. Three people with hard pasts find the strength from each other and within themselves to raise above. To open themselves to their desires. Quinn, Devra and Trevon relationship develops organically and is deeper than even themselves couldn’t imagined. Wild Ride is sensual and emotional, fun and sexy. A fast and enjoye read that gave this reader just what I look for.

The problem is, he once loved my best friend. And now she’s gone, and I refuse to be in that shadow, or worse, a replacement for someone we both loved.

About BREAKING WITHOUT YOU
Available April 16, 2019
From NYT bestselling author Carrie Ann Ryan, comes a brand new series where second chances don’t come often, and overcoming an unexpected loss means breaking everything you knew.
I fell for Cameron Connolly at the wrong time. And when he left, I thought my life was over. But then, after the worst happened, I truly understood what that phrase meant. Now, he’s not ready for a second chance, and I’m not offering one. Though given that our families have been forced together after losing one of our own, I know there’s no turning back. Not this time. Not again. Not when it comes to Cameron.
~~
I never wanted to hurt Violet Knight, but there were reasons I had to leave all those years ago—not that she’d believe me if I told her what they were. I not only left her, I also left my foster brothers. Honestly, I didn’t want to come back to Denver to help run my father’s failing brewery. But when it comes to my brothers, I know I’ll find a way to make it work. Perhaps I’ll even earn Violet’s forgiveness and face the connection we both thought long forgotten in the process. Because I wanted her then, but now I know I need her. I just hope she needs me.
