BETTING THE BAD BOY by Sugar Jamison

We're back again with the Kind brothers, Duke edition. Duke is the oldest of the Duke brothers, with a criminal record that he earned unfairly. 

 Duke King has put away for ten years for protecting the girl he loves from herself.  When he got out of prison, with the help of his brothers, Duke was able to start King's Customs.  A multimillion dollar custom car empire.

 The last thing Duke wanted to do was go back to Destiny. The place where all the trouble in his life started.  But when his aunt calls and tells him that she's in the hospital, Duke packs up his brothers and hits the road to Destiny.

 What he did not expect to see was Grace Truman, the very woman that caused him to go to jail for ten years to be back in Destiny as well.  What he was totally blown over by was the boy she had that looked like a mini him.

 The book is fun packed with drama and you have got to read the second instalment of Sugar Jamison's Destiny Series, Betting the Bad Bay.

 I cannot begin to imagine the betrayal and hurt that Duke must have felt to know that he had a son and the mother did not even try to tell him about him.  It must have been heartbreaking especially since what they have in the past was strong and not to mention that he went to jail over her.

 I understand that Grace was an immature young lady and did a stupid thing that put the love of her life behind bars, but somehow I could not get over that in the book and I disliked her. She was portrayed as a strong individual that stood up to her father about her son, but just because of what she did to Duke I just did not warm up to her. 

 That was something that I did not like about this book was that Grace was not that redeemable in my eyes.  She caused the incident, and now all these years later when Duke comes back to Destiny she wants to act the injured party?  I mean really Grace, really.

 Now she wants Duke to live with her and their son to see if he would be a great father to Ryder (their son).  Everyone that knows Duke knows that he would be a great father since he raised his brothers when their drunk of a father did not care too.

 Okay, all the Grace bashing aside, this series was written in a unique way that I'm still on the fence about if I like it or not.  All three books are written alongside each other, so events that happened in the first book came back; only in the main characters point of view.

 So scenes we've already read in The Bad Boy CEO are also going to be seen in this book only in Duke's or Grace's point of view. I love the innovative of the idea and I would like to see other authors try this approach just for me to get a better feel of this way of writing a series.

 Fans of Sugar Jamison is going to have an interesting ride when reading this book.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

MY CURVY VALENTINE by Sugar Jamison

This book is tied with Gentlemen Prefers Curves for the best book in this series.  Maggie is such a beautiful person, but she is also clueless. I could tell that she was has been married to the same guy for years before the both of them even knew it. Deciding to quit her high paying job as a bio-medical engineer and to follow her fashion dreams by working in a clothing store that caters to the full figured woman like herself. You might think that Maggie Calhoun must be out of her mind, especially since this all came about with her parents divorce. And you would be right, Maggie is out of her mind.  Out of her mind in bliss.  This is the first time in her life that she is doing something for herself, and she plans to enjoy it.  That is until her brother's best friend, Alex, moved his bakery beneath her apartment. Every morning she is awakened by sexual dreams that include whatever is being made in the bakery each morning.  Her dreams o...

WICKED BOND by Sawyer Bennett

Finally, we come to Bridger's story and I must admit, it was not what I was expecting.  Bridger Payne is a walking enigma that no one can quite figure out.  Even his best friend don't know the full story of where Bridger came from. In the Silo, Many want him but not can have him, well not the real him anyway. That's because Bridger lives with so much pain, a pain he has no reason to get rid of since the pain is what makes him survive. If you've read the books from the series you would know Bridger. He helped each and every one of my lovable guys to get their head out their arse and go after their women. You would think that a man that gives such good advice would also take his own preaching, but no such luck. Bridger more believes in happily ever after for everyone other than him. In his mind, he's too f*cked up to be helped and he's learned to accept that, but then Maggie was unexpectedly dumped in his care and Bridger found emotion he's neve...
