***5 ‘Miss Razzle Dazzle & the Lieutenant’ Stars*** So. Damn. Good. Not that I expected anything less when it came to Bash and Kieran and their friends and family, but...this finale gave me everything my bookish heart loves. First and foremost: Bash and Kieran getting their HEA. I loved the way they loved, respected and simply liked each other. They had a flow from the start that had me cheering for them on every level and I really liked how they figured out what they wanted for themselves and made it happen together.  As much as I loved Bash and Kieran, I have to say that watching as their worlds finally collided via their friends and family was a lot of fun. Just getting to experience Bailey, Henri, Sean and Xander meeting Bash (though Xander already met him) was awesome! That part may just be my fav of the trilogy ~ though there were a couple of other moments that come close ~ that was the best. This was a fun trilogy. It’s low on angst and while there was some drama, it jus...

***5 Stars*** Seriously. Sooooo hard NOT to absolutely adore Bash and Kieran. So. Hard. But as for how things have progressed since we last saw Bash and Kieran.  I have to say, I’m really enjoying how everything has been working out thus far. I like how they re-connected and just how open they are with each other, even if some things to take a little prodding. And though things are moving at a faster pace, it doesn’t feel rushed. They see each other for who they are and that’s what attracts them to each other.  As for the ending. Again, it isn’t a true “OMG” type of ending, but it is an honest one and a good place to end this chapter because what looks to be coming next deserves it’s own book. So, yeah, not upset by that ending at all and I am totally looking forward to seeing just how everything turns out for them. And then there are the supporting cast of characters. It really was a lot of fun to catch up with the South Haven crew and just see how their relationships ~ roman...

***5 Stars*** As with everyone who has read the South Haven series, my need to get Sebastian “Bash” Vogel’s story has been intense. So you can just imagine how excited I was to hear that he was finally coming *smirk* and then to find out at this would be a co-authored effort and blend two of my favorite ‘worlds’ even more? Well...I was all in and I was not disappointed in any way, shape or form. It had me snort laughing, swooning, melting and raising an eyebrow or two, but it also had me wanting to devour each and every word ~ even though I did end up taking my time to savor all the goodness. Simply put: I ADORED Bash and Kieran from the start. Both of these men are such good men it’s crazy. I loved how unapologetic Bash was about who he is, how he lives his life and just how much his friends mean to him. Kieran is that guy that comes at you sideways because he is all kinds of hotness, but has such a charismatic, compassionate soul that swooning is unavoidable.  Since this is a tri...

***5 Stars*** My cheeks hurt from the cheesy grin that was stuck to my face while reading this baby.  And how could I NOT smile when I got to hang out with a whole bunch of my favorite characters! This is a full on, feel good (well, mostly ~ I mean, Viper. And Logan ~ kinda sorta but it’s also kinda understandable ~please note that I ADORE both these men) make your heart go all kinds of warm and gooey novella that will have you laughing and swooning in equal measure. While I think one could dive in without reading about these characters, I highly, HIGHLY recommend that you pick a few and dive into their books before picking this one up. The reason this crossover has me all kinds of happy is because I have read about all of them and ‘know’ them on such a level that all their little quirks totally make sense to me.  But I loved catching up with them all and while all the men get my blood pumping, I gotta say that Paige ~ our very own P.I.T.A ~ kinda stole the show! ~ Copy provid...

***5 Stars*** *Le Sigh* I really wish this wasn’t the ending, but as far as endings go, this baby gave me everything I could have asked for and more...at least when it came to Solo and Panther. (The other things are just my wishful thinking *BSEG*) But as for Solo and Panther...I gotta say, I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of their journey and watching as they basically got over themselves, and what they thought they wanted, and went for what truly made them happy ~ even if that happy could cause issues for them. I loved their bantering and the swoons were amazing! As for how everything turns out for them? Well...let’s just say my cheeks are hurting from all the grinning I was doing as I read the last few chapters. This was a fun and sexy series and while I am totally happy with how things turned out for Solo and Panther, and knowing that both authors have stated that this is it for this series, I really wish we didn’t have to say good-bye to everyone. There are a few ~ Gucci, Whiplas...

***5 Stars*** Ooooohhhhhh *Eyes go wide and a very unlady like squee leaves my mouth as I do a booty dance in my chair* Yaaasss! I seriously need Classified like yesterday… But since I know that won’t happen...let’s get to Solo and Panther. Well…at least what I can get to when it comes to these two very alpha males without spoiling anything...I loved these two in Danger Zone and that love got amp’d up a thousandfold here. I loved delving deeper into what truly made these two tick and how they ended up helping each other stronger in the smallest but most meaningful of ways. The chemistry between them is even hotter in this book and I cannot wait to see how everything ends up for them. Now, based on the start of this review, you can tell that the ending of this book is a tad bit different than the first book, but it’s no less heart pumping. It was done perfectly and has me making grabby hands like crazy! But I shall practice patience and try not to squeal like little ...

***5 Stars*** *Shoots a dark look at the authors and then sighs heavily* Ladies, I love your minds and your words and I KNOW that this is just the start of the extremely smexy Solo and Panther...but seriously?!? THAT is where you leave things. UGH Fine...I will deal... *Takes another breath and prepares to dive into a very vague non spoilery review* This baby was all KINDS of fun. I swear I had ‘Highway to the Danger Zone’ by Kenny Loggins playing in my head the entire time because this book had all the goodness of Top Gun but with a hell of a lot more smexyness. I mean nuclear level smexy woven throughout the entire book and add in a whole slew of fun characters. And this baby was like crack. Putting it down simply wasn’t an option. As this is book only the first of Solo and Panther’s journey ~ in more ways than one ~ Imma keep this part brief. I adored them both. They are, at their very cores, good, honorable men who have just the right amount of Alpha to make y...

***5 ‘Let Me Be the One For You’ Stars*** These characters. This book. Hell, this series… I’m sitting her all kinds of hopped up on happy because I freakin’ adored this book. I was totally invested in Killian and Levi from the start and loved every moment of the sweet, frustrating, smexy and swoon worthy journey and couldn’t have asked for more. Ok. That last part is a lie. I want more because I’m a greedy biyatch and really just want to spend a lot more time with these characters BUT as far as getting to that HEA...I’m a happy girl. Killian and Levi. I adored Killian from the beginning. He may be the ‘mom’ of the group, ensuring that his wilder, more impulsive band mate don’t go too crazy, but he’s got this quiet confidence that draws you in and the kind of innate charm that will leave you swooning. And then there is Levi. I LOVED how comfortable he was in his own skin. He owned everything he was and I loved how he commanded everyone’s attention without breaking a swea...
