***4 Stars*** When I read the tease of this book in Naughty Wishes I couldn’t wait to find out more about Natalie and Sam and what it would take for them to find their way back to each other and it was all kinds of gut wrenching and frustrating ~ and smexy as all get out ~ but so worth it in the end. This one was all kinds of heartbreaking, as well as frustrating, because Natalie and Sam were so entrenched in their own inner conversations with themselves that it caused a huge rift in their relationship and I wanted to reach out and smack some much needed sense into them. Thankfully that was taken cared of in a most interesting, yet simple, way and I liked how they finally connected again. In this one we get to know the good dentist, Aiden, a little more and I’m still on the fence on if he should get his own book/HEA or if he should remain the single hottie Dom until the bitter end, but I shall trust in the author to do what she feels is best. As for the tease of the next s...

***5 Stars*** This one is really more of a slice of life than the first short was, which I am perfectly good with, because it is about Kylie and Dan remembering who they were when they first got together and rekindling the passion in their relationship. It doesn’t take much for them to figure out what they want, but the journey to get there was smexy as hell! If you are looking for a short, quick, smoking hot read and have a liking for a little menage thrown into the mix, then pick this baby up for a quick fix. We get a sneak peak at the next Naughty Short, Naughty Secrets, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing what happens there. And at the end of the book Ms. Castille asked if Aiden, the smoking hot dentist, should get his own HEA? I’m still on the fence about that. I want MORE Aiden, no doubt about that ~ especially after reading this one ~ but I kinda like having him be everyone’s single smexy as all get out kinky fairy god-Dom....maybe I’ll have an answ...

***4 Stars*** This is definitely a naughty short story and I loved it! I mean it had it all ~ smexyness (LOTS of smexyness) a good dose of humor and heart. This may be a short, but this baby definitely packed a punch. I really liked Lily and my heart hurt for her with all that she dealing with. She is at the end of her emotional rope and despite the chaos inside her, still loves her husband and doesn’t want to leave him. Chris...well, it was hard to like him, empathize? Yes. Like...it took a while to get there, but once he pulled his head out of his butt, the man was all kinds of goodness. Watching as they found their way back to each other definitely brought out all the feels because despite it all, they loved each other and I have to say where they are at the end is all kinds of satisfying (and HAWT!). Naughty Desires was a very well written short story.  No muss, no fuss, no extra drama going on, because it didn’t need it at all, but at the same time I felt like I...

***4.5 ‘Sinatra’ Stars*** It’s funny, I had just finished Luca when I saw that Rocco was the next book up in the series and I had a total “Huh?” moment because I couldn’t for the life of me remember meeting a Rocco in either Nico or Luca’s books...and then the lightbulb went off, I did a little search in Luca to see if my brain had indeed figured it out (which it did), gave myself a little mental slap and then got all kinds of excited because Rocco aka Frankie was one of my favs in Luca and the one I wanted to know more about and I wasn’t disappointed. This book gave me all the smexy, alpha AF moments mixed with a good dose of suspense, humor and heart that kept me turning the pages until the very end. Rocco, Frankie (I LOVE how he got his nickname), Rocco...I don’t care what you call him, the man was all kinds of alpha AF smexy, even if he was scary AF (though that actually made him more smexy IMHO) but beneath the cold exterior lives a man whose heart is warmer than most bel...

***5 ‘Mio Angelo’ Stars*** I loved Nico (the book, though the man was pretty damn smexy). The vibe and writing and all the various, and crazy, characters that I got introduced to but the one that stood out the most was Luca. I wanted to know more about him and dear lord did I get what I asked for in the most deliciously dirty, panty melting and heart melting way ~ yeah...I know...just roll with it ~ This book had it all and kept me turning the pages just to see what would happen next with Luca and Gabrielle and kept me tapping the screen even when there were no more pages because I needed more. I adored Luca. The man is all kinds of large and in charge alpha male. He’s also ruthless and doles out his brand of justice without thinking twice doesn’t miss a beat and doesn’t let anyone and  that saying about how Italians are born to seduce? Yeah, the man breaths and you’re more than willing to drop your panties. He opens his mouth and you don’t even have to worry abo...
