Review:

When I started this book, I had a feeling she was going to end up with the landlord. Turns out I was right. It was a very hot and steamy story. I have grown a little tired of the girl getting pregnant right away after falling in love, but this story put some pretty good twists into the story. At times I felt like Layla was being a brat, but I guess when you can't seem to trust your heart and have never really had a good relationship (or one at all) then you wouldn't know how to act. Chase and his brothers seemed like all great guys except for the fact that they would touch any woman that would come with a crook of their finger. With all that being said, I did love the characters. They all got along well together and had great chemistry. The writing was thought out well and the story was good.



Book Two: Kade

Synopsis:

You met Kade and Nikki in "Chase". Now it’s time for their story.Nikki works hard and plays even harder. A fan of no attachment type relationships, Nikki is nowhere near ready to settle down or commit to one man. What she doesn’t expect is Kade.

Review:

Kade was one of my favorites when I read the story of Chase and Layla. I loved his laid back and humerous attitude. He was a little on the disturbing side with the whole sharing girls with his brothers thing, but I can look past that. I didn't understand why Nikki would be upset with Kade with having other relationships when they weren't together. I know she was trying to protect her heart, but you can't judge others by someone else's mistakes. Even if Kade seems like the type to not want a serious relationship. I also can't believe that Kade couldn't see how Ashley really was with him. If you have MULTIPLE people telling you that she has feelings for you; don't you think you should take that into consideration and maybe believe them. I loved how this story turned out and all the characters that were in it. It had some really steamy scenes that had you fanning yourself. Excited to read about the other characters romances.



Book Three: Ryder

Synopsis:

Ryder Crawford is going places. His band ‘Morning Alliance,’ has just gotten signed, and are now touring with one of the most popular bands in the world.
