With Rival just released, I’ve definitely been swooning over this series. However, while Maddox is…so very yummy. He hasn’t replaced Jared for me. 

Until you

By Penelope Douglas

Published: February 18, 2014

From Goodreads:

Have you ever been so angry that hitting things felt good? Or so numb that you actually felt high? The past few years have been like that for me. Traveling between fury and indifference with no stops in between.

Some people hate me for it, while others are scared of me. But none of them can hurt me, because I don't care about anything or anyone.

Except Tatum.

I love her so much that I hate her. We used to be friends, but I found out that I couldn't trust her or anyone else.

So I hurt her. I pushed her away.

But I still need her. The sight of her centers me, and I can pool all of my anger into her. Engaging her, challenging her, bullying her...they are my food, my air, and the last part of me that feels anything human.

But she left. She went to France for a year, and came back a different girl.

Now, when I push, she pushes back

Swoon… Jared

“She’d wrapped her legs around me, and I ran my hands up her thighs, in complete awe of her soft, hot skin. We weren’t going to fucking move until my hands or mouth had been on every part of her.

As I kissed her neck, she brought my face back up to her lips, and I reveled in how she responded. She wanted this as much as I did.

Hell, yes.

I knew I didn’t deserve it. I knew she deserved more. But I was going to bury myself in this girl or spend my life trying. I couldn’t get her close enough or kiss her fast enough. I wanted more.

I dove for the little spot under her ear, smelling and aching for her. I felt freer with her body wrapped around mine than I had in years.

‘Jared, stop.’ She pulled her head away from me, but I just kept going. Nope. You. Me. And a fucking bed. Now.”

I had to include this quote because while it’s incredibly hot in the beginning, the rest of it left me laughing my head off. It’s one of my favorites.

“I leaned up on one hand and grasped her thigh with the other, moving my hips between her kegs faster and faster. More and more. Harder and harder.

My eyes closed, the pressure inside of me at its breaking point.

Fuck.

I looked down into her blissful face, and dived into her a few more times before letting it all go.

Cool fire spread through my veins, and all the air left my body as I dollapsed on top of her, breathing like a marathon runner.

‘Jared, I need a clean shir-oh.’

My head snapped up, seeing Jax, and Tate squealed, pulling my body down to cover hers.

‘What the fuck?’ I was naked as hell and Jax just stood there, wide-eyed with his lips formed in a circle. ‘Get the hell out!’ I yelled.

After a pause, he broke out in a grin and snorted. ‘Hey, you must be Tate. I’m Jaxon.’ And the fucker held out his hand for her to shake.

Thankfully, Tate was shielded by me, but I wasn’t covered. The dickhead had left the door open, too.

Tate peeked out and offered her hand bashfully. ‘Um…hi, Jaxon. Nice to meet you.”

Assumption

By Aurora Rose Reynolds

Publication Date: August 25, 2014

From Goodreads:

Can they find a way to be whole again and still find a place in each other's hearts

as·sump·tion:

a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof

They say when you assume that you make an ass out of you and me. Kenton Mayson learned this lesson firsthand when he made assumptions about Autumn Freeman and the kind of woman she is based on what little information he had. What he finds out is she’s not only beautiful, but also smart, funny, a fighter, and exactly the kind of woman he wants to share his life with. Autumn made assumptions of her own about Kenton, and now he needs to prove her wrong in order to protect her and their future.

Swoon…Kenton

“He smirks, his eyes running down my legs. ‘Come to bed.’

‘No.’ I shake my head, looking at the door.

‘You try to sleep on the couch and I’m dragging your ass back up here to bed,’ he threatens.

‘I don’t think that’s such a good idea.’

‘Afraid you won’t be able to keep your hands off me?’ He smiles”

“I smile at his low growl. ‘I’m not even pissed that you wanna fuck with me right now.’ He pulls my head away from his chest, his hands go around my neck, and his thumbs slide under my jaw, tilting my head back. His mouth lowers and my eyes start to flutter closed. ‘Every time you fuck with me, it makes me wanna fuck you. One day, we’re going to get to a point in our relationship where you’ll say something to set me off and I’ll bend you over right where you stand and punish you for misbehaving or talking back.”

Ugly Love

By Colleen Hoover

Publication Date: August 5, 2014

From Goodreads:

When Tate Collins meets airline pilot Miles Archer, she knows it isn’t love at first sight. They wouldn’t even go so far as to consider themselves friends. The only thing Tate and Miles have in common is an undeniable mutual attraction. Once their desires are out in the open, they realize they have the perfect set-up. He doesn’t want love, she doesn’t have time for love, so that just leaves the sex. Their arrangement could be surprisingly seamless, as long as Tate can stick to the only two rules Miles has for her.

Never ask about the past.
Don’t expect a future.

They think they can handle it, but realize almost immediately they can’t handle it at all.

Hearts get infiltrated.
Promises get broken.
Rules get shattered.
Love gets ugly

Swoon…Miles

“I stand in the doorway of my bedroom and watch her sleep. She doesn’t know it, but I do this every morning she’s here with me. She’s what starts my day off right.

            The first time I did this was the morning after I met her. I couldn’t remember much from the night before. The only thing I remembered was her. I was on the couch, and she was stroking my hair, whispering, telling me to go to sleep. When I woke up in Corbin’s apartment the next morning, I couldn’t get her out of my head. […]But the second she opened her eyes and looked at me, I knew. She was either going to be the death of me…or she was going to be the one who finally brought me back to life.”

“I didn’t fall in love with you… I flew.” 

“It may be a small piece at a time, but my past is yours now. All of it. 
Anything you want to know, I want to tell you. But only if you promise me I can also have your future.”

IN HONOR OF VI KEELAND'S RELEASE!
CONGRATS!

Worth Forgiving (MMA Fighter #3)

By Vi Keeland

Publication Date: Qugust 21, 2014

From Goodreads:

They say men like a lady in the living room and a whore in the bedroom. I never knew the sentiment was reciprocal. Until I met Jax Knight. A gentleman in public, a commanding, dirty talking rogue in the bedroom.

Daughter of legendary fighter “The Saint,” Lily St. Claire knows firsthand how fighters can be. As the owner of a chain of MMA gyms, she’s no stranger to aggressive, dominating, and possessive men. That’s why she’s always kept her distance. But the day Jax Knight walks through her door she’s captivated by his charm. Stunningly handsome, well mannered, Ivy League educated, and confident, he shatters all the preconceived notions she’d come to think were true about men who trained to fight.

But falling for someone so soon after her breakup wasn’t something she’d planned on. And definitely not something her ex plans to allow.

Swoon… Jax

Melts my panties…

“Oh fuck this,’ I growl, taking the two strides to reach her quickly, finding all the emotions in her eyes that I feel deep inside of me. Lust. Need. Desire. Hunger so deep, it consumes me.

            Walking us two steps until her back is to the wall, I reach down and lift her up easily. Pinning her body between mine and the wall, I wrap her legs around my waist and bury my face in her neck, breathing deeply to take in her scent.

            Heat pulsating wildly through my veins, I pull my head back, dig my hips deeply into her parted legs so she can feel how hard she’s affecting me and claim her mouth in a kiss.”

Melts my heart…

“Have you ever been in love?’ Quietly, I ask […]

He kisses my lips gently.

‘Have you?’ I ask again.

‘I think so.’ He kisses the corner of my mouth, then the other corner, before softly kissing the center of my mouth again. ‘Every day I become more sure.”
