Book Summary:

I’m afraid of death.

Working at a funeral home does things to people, and when my parents died, my fear stared me in the face.
I needed to start over and all but ran to a small, tired town in Utah.

I was told that the house I’d be renting would need a lot of work. Of course, I was up for the task because that meant a cheaper place to live. But no one told me about how bad it truly was – missing windows, pink toilets, yellow wallpaper. No one told me how the previous owner went missing, or that his blood stained the hardwood floors.

Another thing I wasn’t told? That a hot and broody handyman would be fixing it up with me. And the best part? 
He’s fresh out of prison.

This wasn’t how I expected this to go, to be working alongside Cole Garner, being reminded of my fear because he won’t tell me why he was in prison. He harbors some dark secrets, and even though I shouldn’t, I will figure them out. I just hadn’t planned to fall for him while I was looking for answers.

Cole’s past wasn’t the only answer I discovered. Details of what happened to the previous owner arose, and I’m forced into the truth of his murder. Even though I ran from it, death has no intention of leaving me alone.

My Thoughts:

I was sold on the curvy girl aspect. But throw in that Tegan worked in a funeral home and has a ghost haunting her, and I was sold! I loved the twists and turns of the storyline. Then you have Cole, the MMC. He has a past of his own, and he is hot as sin. Cole and Tegan's chemistry was fabulous!

Book Summary:

Welcome to the Sexy as Sin series, where badass female athletes don't mind working up a good sweat on or off the field.

Levi Daniels has got the fastest legs in all of college football, and even as a Junior at NMU, Northern Michigan University, he’s being looked at. Granted, his father being an NFL star doesn’t help. His good looks, his sweet charm, his amazing ability, and his last name are drawing not just eyes for an early draft, but unwanted eyes from the females who want their ten minutes of fame off his back.

Juliana Watts is the only daughter and sister of five males! She grew up roughhousing it with the best of them and knew sports like the back of her hand. Her father made it a point to catch a ball with all five of his kids, and just because she was a girl, didn’t mean she lucked out. Where did that leave her? An amazing quarterback with great accuracy and a hell of a throw. That also left her frowned upon for being a female in an all-male sport.

Now, she’s got the chance to show the world what she’s made of as a college coach is putting her on the team. She has no problem with it. Her soon-to-be teammates might. After the first interaction, though, she’s drawn to the man who stood up for her, but she doesn’t have time for a relationship.

Especially not one he is offering.
A fake one to help her, but to curb the ladies trying to bother him.
Simple rule, no love is allowed anywhere, on or off the field, if she says yes.

My Thoughts:

This was a great sports novella that pulled you in from the start. I loved that the MFC Juliana was a quarterback. How cool is that! And Levi, the MMC, didn't disappoint. He was the sexy team player there to support her all the way.

Book Summary:

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the most ruthless of them all?

Queen Scarlett rules Underland through fear and deadly proclamations. Her infamous "off with their heads" maintains an iron grip on her magical kingdom. Across the border in Darkmore, Queen Ravenna wields blood magic in solitude, trusting only her prophetic mirror after her sister's betrayal nearly cost her her life.

When rumors of war threaten both kingdoms, these rival queens are forced into an uneasy alliance. But as they work together to counter the mounting danger, their mutual distrust dissolves into something far more dangerous—attraction.

Now, Ravenna's sister Mara has emerged from the shadows with an army at her back and vengeance in her heart. As magical creatures choose sides and kingdoms hang in the balance, Scarlett and Ravenna must decide if they can trust each other with not only their crowns, but their hearts.

The mirror's prophecy is clear: in the coming battle, one queen must fall.

My Thoughts:

This had an Alice in Wonderland vibe. Queen Scarlett rules Underland just like the Queen of Hearts ruled her kingdom. While Queen Ravenna, the ruler of Darmore, is more compassionate. But when these two combine forces, they are a force to be reckoned with. The slow-burn tension between these two is wonderful, and I loved all of the magical creatures.
