Things a good neighbor can do for you:

1. Give you a cup of sugar

2. Let you borrow his lawnmower

3. Water your plants while you’re on vacation

4. Make your eyes roll back in your head with his tongue

Katya Tocci has never paid much attention to who lives next door – her career always kept her too busy. She’s a good girl, working her way to becoming the most sought after cake designer in all of San Francisco.

But even a good girl’s gotta cut loose once in a while, right? So one fake dating profile later, and she’s ready to tarnish her squeaky clean image. Little does she know, her fun time is closer to home than she ever imagined.

Throw in a neighbor who wants to corrupt her, and another who just wants to own her, and her entire world is flipped upside down.

Who knew neighbors could be so helpful?

 

neighbors-teaser-excerpt


Excerpt

It was no joke.

Liam had been waiting in the lobby for her at nine o’clock, sharp. Liam Edenhoff – “but everyone calls me Eden” – he’d introduced himself again to her before guiding her out to a taxi he’d had waiting.

She felt a little nauseous. She’d chugged down another half bottle of wine, and some crème de menthe, before heading downstairs to meet him. She’d almost talked herself out of going, but she’d made the mistake of telling her roommate Tori about the whole fiasco. Apparently, Katya owed it to women everywhere (and Tori in particular) to explore this opportunity to its fullest. She’d all but been shoved out the apartment, the door slammed and locked in her face.

 

“Nervous?” Liam Eden-whatever-his-name-was asked her as the cab slowed to a crawl.

“Nope,” Katya’s voice sounded overly loud.

“Liar. Tonight is gonna be an interesting night, angel cake.”

“Stop calling me that.”

“What’s your last name?”

“None of your business.”

“Okay then – when the gang bang starts, I’ll tell them to call you Katya X.”

She couldn’t stop the blush from happening that time. Liam burst out laughing, then soothed the sting by grabbing her hand.

Even when they got out of the cab, he didn’t let go of her. Normally, she would’ve been uncomfortable with a stranger assuming such a familiarity with her, but this time, she was thankful for it. She held onto him tightly as they walked down a crowded street. Then they turned into an alley, and his gang bang joke didn’t seem so funny. He led her to a plain door, above which a simple, small, neon sign spelled out “The Garden”. Outside were several small groups of people, chatting and smoking. Some of them called out greetings to him, all of them using his nickname, but a large and scary looking bouncer addressed him very properly.

“Hey, Mr. Edenhoff, wasn’t expecting you in tonight. Any problems?”

“Nope, just bringing a friend to show her the place, let her see what I do for a living.”

All the blood was quickly rushing from Katya’s limbs, pooling somewhere in her stomach. None of this was a joke. He really did own the place, that much was obvious.

As Liam led her through the door, though, Katya actually felt a surge of confidence. She was still nervous, still more than a little scared, but she was okay with it. Liam seemed like a nice guy, he wasn’t going to take her into some dark room and insert foreign objects into her orifices. She could leave whenever she wanted to, whenever it got too uncomfortable. Everything was fine, and for once, she was doing something exciting. She’d even have something interesting to talk about at work the next day.

Finally.

BLP REVIEW ~ Rebecca

 

HOLY FUCK.

That is all.
Speechless.
Except for the word Fuck. Which is on repeat in my head. Hot, unexpected, different, totally addictive, read in one sitting Holy Fuck of a book!

I don’t even know where to start.

#TeamLiam

#TeamWulfy

#TeamKatya

#TeamTacos

#Team69

I have no clue whose team I’m on, well no, the last 2 are confirmed but the first 3 are up in the air on a cliff-hanger extraordinaire!

Stylo Fantome’s blown my mind. Again.


Degradation (The Kane Trilogy #1)

I haven’t read in a long, long time a book that I so loved and hated simultaneously, as fascinated as I was horrified. A train wreck of a relationship, as beautiful as it is broken, brutally raw, poignant, passionate, tragic and destructive. If the Devil had a fucked up contemporary fairy tale it would be this and the ride has only just begun…


Completion (The Kane Trilogy #3.5)

“Stylo Fantome … without doubt one of THE discoveries of 2014 …  Hide yourself with a stiff drink and come meet Jameson and Tate, let Ms Fantome take you away for a few hours of sheer unadulterated bliss, the odd orgasm or two and make you remember why you read, why imagination is such a powerful and fabulous tool.”


My Time in the Affair

“Stylo Fantome’s talent is huge, her writing is flawless, emotional, thoughtful, sexy and deliciously hot. One click this now, in a sea of mediocrity her star shines brightly,”


Best Laid Plans (The Mercenaries #1)

Living in the frozen depths of Alaska is a still (God knows how) relatively unknown gem who goes by the name Stylo Fantome. As we now hit her sixth published book it is becoming more than clear that she is a talent who is here to stay, her flair and imagination, the complexity and emotional depth of her characters and stories combined with her ability to surprise with choice of genre or subject matter and yet still deliver every single time make her a one click automatic choice with no cover, blurb or info needed – just the author name alone.

When I look back at some of my reviews for her previous books I realise I should not be surprised at the quality of this one because her ability to write engaging, flawless stories across totally different genres is exceptional and consistent. Creativity like this does not come along often, with every single book her talent and growth as a writer shines through. I do worry about a mind that produced The Bad Ones, that was way too dark and fucked up for me even while I could appreciate the storytelling, so I’m very happy that Neighbors is a lighter read. Make no mistake though, it is not a fluffy light, it’s fast paced, surprising, intricate (without appearing to be), hot as fuck, sexy, all about the choices we make, the games people play, and the consequences good and bad of stepping outside our comfort zone.

I’m not going to put much in this review about the characters, the story and the dynamics involved because if you’ve read the blurb you know it gives very little away and that’s the way to go into this book; don’t read too many that give lots of spoilers or tell you the damn story before you get chance to experience this crazy, wild, intense, beyond fucking hot story.
Grab your drink of choice, turn your phone off and disappear into these pages to decide which team you are on, to scream at the kindle when the cliff-hanger ending comes unexpectedly fast because you were so invested in the characters and storyline that time ceased to exist. All three of the main players will fascinate you for different reasons. As always, nothing about any of the relationships is conventional as society sees it. Complex, frustrating at times yet addictive, guilty pleasures abound and it is absolutely flawless, a class of its own.

So as I said grab your drink, prepare snack of choice (tacos will work!!), turn off the phone, get new batteries and toy of choice (trust me the first sex scene, FUCK ME!) and get comfortable with Neighbors.

If it’s your first Stylo Fantome then pop your cherry in style. If you’ve read her previous work then settle in and prepare to be surprised. Either way, enjoy the shining light that is Ms Stylo Fantome and the absofuckinlutely fabulous Neighbors.

About the Author:stylo

Crazy woman from a remote location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since … forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball – I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I’m clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.

I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there’s your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair – both a curse and a blessing – and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can’t understand me.

Yeah. I think that about sums me up.

NEW RELEASE PROMO ~ The Trouble with Mistletoe by Jill Shalvis

  troublewithmistletoe-lighter-with-ribbons-250x403


Synopsis:

If she has her way . . .
 
Willa Davis is wrangling puppies when Keane Winters stalks into her pet shop with frustration in his chocolate-brown eyes and a pink bedazzled cat carrier in his hand. He needs a kitty sitter, stat. But the last thing Willa needs is to rescue a guy who doesn’t even remember her . . .
 
He’ll get nothing but coal in his stocking.
 
Saddled with his great-aunt’s Feline from Hell, Keane is desperate to leave her in someone else’s capable hands. But in spite of the fact that he’s sure he’s never seen the drop-dead-gorgeous pet shop owner before, she seems to be mad at him . . .
 
Unless he tempers “naughty” with a special kind of nice . . .
 

Willa can’t deny that Keane’s changed since high school: he’s less arrogant, for one thing—but can she trust him not to break her heart again? It’s time to throw a coin in the fountain, make a Christmas wish—and let the mistletoe do its work . . .



The Trouble with Mistletoe Buy Links:
 
“You want to come upstairs, Willa?”
What she wanted was to put her hands back on his chest now that she knew it was as hard as it looked. Instead she gripped either side of her seat with white knuckles. “Of course not.”
“I think you do. I think you want something else too.”
“What I want,” she said as coolly as she could, “is dinner as promised.”
“Liar,” he chided softly.
“Well that’s just rude, calling your date a liar.”
“So it is a date.” His tone was very male and very smug. It should’ve pissed her off but instead it did something hot and erotic to her insides.
Clearly knowing it, he smiled at her and then dragged his teeth over his lower lip as he contemplated her.
Gah. She wanted to do that. And she wanted to do more too. She wanted him shockingly badly and suddenly she couldn’t remember why she shouldn’t. She tried to access her thought processes on the subject but her brain hiccupped and froze. Which surely was the only reason she let go of the death grip on her seat, slid her fingers into his hair, and . . . brushed her mouth over his.
He didn’t move, not a single muscle, but when she pulled back, his eyes had gone dark as night, piercing her with their intensity.
“Don’t read that the wrong way,” she whispered.

“Is there a wrong way to take it when a beautiful woman kisses you?”

 



BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy

Why, oh why have I never read a Jill Shalvis book before now?? Anna over at Herding Cats has told me often enough that JS’s books are great reads and I should definitely check them out, but did I listen?

The Trouble With Mistletoe was a really great read. I loved both Willa and Keane.
The main characters were both very likable, each had their own thoughts and fears when it came to commitment but together they navigated the beginnings of a relationship and they were so well suited!

TTwM was laugh out loud funny, sweet, sexy and had a real feel good vibe to it. I loved that it was set at Christmas (and that Willa was as over-the-top Mrs Christmas as I am!!) but what made me smile huge was Petunia, Keane’s aunt’s cat that he unwittingly ends up cat-sitting and the reason he and Willa meet in the first place!!

One of my favourite things in a book like this is a really good supporting cast of characters and Ms Shalvis didn’t disappoint – the gang of friends that Willa has, and her girls, were great and fun to read about and I’m looking forward to getting to know more about them in their own stories!

So, yep, this was my first Jill Shalvis read but definitely won’t be my last – I’m gonna go and check out the first book in the Heartbreaker Bay series as well as the rest of her back catalogue – and if the others are as good as this one I’m gonna be a long time fan!!

Book Blurb

ETHAN’S HIT A ROUGH SPOT

So I caught my dad in bed with my ex-girlfriend.

My best friend cancelled our plans to celebrate my birthday.

Decided to drink away the betrayal.

Made out with a cardboard cutout of a celebrity in front of my new roommates.

Got in a bar fight.

Hooked up with that pretty bartender whose sad smile I’ve secretly been painting pictures of since forever, but she shoved me out the door without a word.

Did I mention the tattoo I don’t exactly remember getting?

And that’s only Saturday.

Now I need to pick up the pieces of my messed-up life.

 

LEEANNE’S HAD A TOUGH LIFE

What do you do when you’ve lived in the same small town your whole life and you feel as if you’ll always be stuck in the same rut, like a piece of busted wagon wheel? Well, maybe you start by hooking up with the first decent guy who walks into your bar.

Maybe once you do, it’s hard to get him out of your head even though you try. And maybe, just maybe, you find out he makes you laugh even more than he makes you want to shout his name.

If you’re me, you don’t even know what to do with a guy like him. A little piece of happiness…that feels downright dangerous.

Excerpt

(LeeAnne’s POV):

So, whatcha thinking? Time to go?” He rises up on his knees. The way he’s poised, he could either move away or get closer just as easily.

“Oh, I don’t know. I’m not dizzy yet.” Not that I honestly want to get dizzy, but we’ve gotten a little too serious. After Ethan brought me here to have fun, I want to lighten the mood.

With his hands deep in the pockets of his leather jacket, Ethan leans in toward me again. “I thought you didn’t want me to make you dizzy.”

I didn’t think so. Yet here we are, hot breath puffing in the cold air between us. My lips tingle as he leans close. It’s impossible to forget the way his hands explored me so carefully before. The way his tongue tasted me like he wanted to keep on tasting me forever.

“You remember that first time you kissed me?”

His cheeks turn a deep merlot. “Damn right I do. I remember thinking it was the best kiss I’d ever had.”

Well now. I’m pretty sure if I wasn’t sitting on something cold and metal, I’d have just melted right into the playground gravel.

“It was the first time I’d kissed someone because I wanted to, and not because I thought I should.” My chest feels strange when I confess this to him. Like it’s full of butterflies or bees. Lighter but nervous. And oh God, my heart is just bouncing every which way.

As his hair brushes my forehead, his dimple deepens and his eyes get darker. “I’m glad you wanted to kiss me, LeeAnne. I’ve been dying to do it again.”

Maybe…maybe I don’t have to lean on him. Maybe I could just lean in again. Meet those wind-chapped lips halfway. That’d be okay, right?

I wrap my arms around my knees and smile. “I think I’ve decided I wouldn’t mind getting a little dizzy.”

His lips brush mine so fast, I’m left breathless when he jumps from the merry-go-round to give it a spin.

“Hang on tight,” he says.

So I do.


BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy

I loved my return trip to Evergreen Grove…. Ethan and LeeAnne were fantastic characters.
Both of them have been hurt in some way and both have their own demons to overcome on a daily basis and that in itself gives them more in common than either of them realise.

I think one of the things I love most about Elisabeth Staab’s books are the development of the relationships and the characters getting to know each other – hell, when they do eventually get together under the covers (or where ever else they happen to get their kit off!!) it’s hot as hell… – but for me, the biggest draw is the build up and peeling away the layers to find the person underneath, and in Piece by Piece Elisabeth gave us exactly this.

As ever, there was a great supporting cast – some we’ve met before and others new in this book – and I’m hoping that from meeting them in Piece by Piece we get more visits to Evergreen Grove.

This was a great read with likable and believable characters, great banter, laughs, a teeny bit of angst, a lot of musings from both Ethan & LeeAnne (which I thought was fab as I do like reading a characters internal thoughts and take on things!!) and a fair dose of heat…. I can’t wait to see who’s up next in this series!!

BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy 

I know I probably shouldn’t have but I liked him but I have to admit that Oliver Parker is now a firm BBF favourite of mine!!! Yeah, to begin with he was a total git; he was rude, had an ego the size of one of his family’s hotels, was self centered and full of it but as the story went on he totally grew on me! The more we saw of him and found out about his place within the family and business, the more you could understand why he was initially the way he was!

Riley was fab. True to herself until loyalty and love got in the way, she was honest, open and extremely likable. Her relationship with her mum and her growing feelings for Oliver all brought out different facets of her personality that I liked.

The more time this pair spent together, in but also out of bed, the more they got to like each other and their initial ‘agreement/unrefusable offer’ begins to turn into something more!

I really enjoyed this book. It was funny, hot, well written and kept me engaged and entertained.
I’m looking forward to what’s next from Ms Tribue.

I rate Nights with Parker 4.5*

BLP REVIEW – Tracy

Stacey Lynn is a new to me author but one who’s back list I will definitely be checking out!

Dirty Player was a hot, sexy and fun read. I really liked both Oliver and Shannon.

Oliver was arrogant and very confident – given his reputation and success you could get why he was like that – but was also extremely caring and protective of Shannon once they were together. Shannon was feisty, determined, loyal and a lot of fun. She’d given up a lot to help her brother Beaux achieve his dream of being a professional football player. Both had trust issues – both completely understandable – so they had some common ground to start with.
Neither thinking the other was what they were looking for, their initial getting together was only supposed to be short term… but the longer they spent in each others company and the more they got to know each other (in and out of bed!!), ending things when they were just starting was never gonna be on the cards.

There were some great supporting characters that were likeable, relatable and fun and I would love to find out more about them. The exes, gods, if I could have reached into my kindle and throat punched them, I would have done it, both were horrible folk!

Well written, with a fantastic epilogue, Dirty Player was a really great, engaging read that I would definitely recommend and I rate 4*.

BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy

 

Brief Me, Baby totally hit my spot…. I do love the Fiona Davenport ladies and their hot, sexy, instalove books really are a secret (ok, not so secret now!!) favourite of mine!!!

I flove a good alpha and where I’m not always a fan of an instalove story, there’s something about the Yeah, Baby series of stories that do it for me.

I liked both characters; Jax knew what he wanted and went for it – even when he understood why Natalie was trying to take a step back and stop what was going on between them, even if just for a little while.. Natalie was determined to succeed under her own steam and not use any well known connections that would undermine her work and effort and I got why she reacted as she did to Jax when his work history was disclosed! When this pair got together they were smokin’ hot….

When I hit a book slump or need a bit of a quick pick me up, FD (along with another author in the same genre!!) really do get me back in the mood for reading!

If you like a good read, with a hot male and a spunky female lead and are looking to heat up a couple of hours, grab yourself a copy of Brief Me, Baby (don’t forget the fan/cold water/significant other!! 😉 )

 


 

 
 

 


EXCERPT
“Four days,” he growled into my mouth before capturing it in another searing kiss.
After doing my best to avoid him, I should have tried to push out of his arms. We were in his office for fuck’s sake, but that didn’t seem to matter to me as I melted into his embrace. When he lifted his head, our chests were heaving, and I couldn’t remember why I’d run from him in the first place. My head was spinning, and the only reason I stayed on my feet was because his hands were
wrapped around my arms.
“You ignored me for an entire weekend.” His hold on me tightened. “Hours upon hours we could have spent together if only you’d picked up your damn phone!”
Before I was able to wrap my brain around what was happening, he dropped down onto the couch, pulled me across his lap, and spanked me. Bursts of pain spread across my skin, making me freeze up in shock. I couldn’t believe he was actually spanking me in his office! He took advantage of my stillness, spanking me repeatedly. His rasped out words punctuated the pain.
“I.”
Whack.
“Warned.”
Whack.
“You.”
Whack.
“Jax!” I gasped out, attempting to slide my hands over my ass for protection. I didn’t get far before he had both my wrists in his grasp, pressing them against my lower back with one hand while caressing my stinging cheeks with the other.
“You’re mine,” he murmured, lifting me off his lap until I was standing between his legs. “I wasn’t fucking joking when I told you I was going to redden this sweet little ass of yours any time I have to remind you that you belong to me.”

I had no response. None. What could I say when one half of me wanted to climb onto his lap for wild monkey-sex, while the other, more rational, part knew damn well that the moment I left his office I was going to run again?

 



 
 

 


The Mafia Ties Series:
Nic & Anna

f74d7612-5402-4799-9d67-b2bc36bc2efa

A smokin’ hot dad falls for the innocent nanny… and he’s a Mafia boss.

Deception: Nic DeLuca is used to taking what he wants. Born to lead a powerful mafia family, he’s not in the habit of asking for permission—or forgiveness. He’s willing to cross any boundary when it comes to possessing what he considers to be his, and from the moment he laid eyes on Anna Martin, he knew she was meant for him.

Nic is quick to move the innocent nanny into his home… and his bed. But, he hides his dark side from Anna. The deception is necessary to ensure she falls for him before she realizes exactly who he is.

Danger: Anna Martin was looking for a nanny position, but she found more than she bargained for when she fell for single dad Nic DeLuca. When she finds out he’s a mafia boss, her head tells her to run but her heart tells her to stay. With his baby girl in the hospital, Anna stands by her man in his time of need. But when danger swirls around them, will they manage to find happiness together?

Devotion: It didn’t take long for Nic DeLuca and Anna Martin to fall in love. The mafia boss and innocent nanny may seem like an odd match, but their devotion to each other is absolute.

When Anna is taken by a rival family, Nic will go to any lengths to rescue her—and ensure nobody touches what’s his ever again.

campus. The last thing he needs is a tutor cramping his style … but curvy Claire gets under his skin in more ways than one.

 

Claire can’t stand football players, and Jake is just as cocky and arrogant as the worst of them. He’s also impossibly sexy. Despite

their frequent arguments, she starts to see another side to him — and finds him increasingly hard to resist.

 

When they finally surrender, the heat they generate could melt the North Pole… but is Jake really willing to sacrifice his image for

Claire? Or will she be left on the sidelines with a broken heart?

 


 


 


This is the first book from Tia Lewis, and while the characters were a bit younger than others I’ve read lately, I really enjoyed the story.

I liked that there was more to Jake and he wasn’t just your atypical college jock, even though that’s how he initially came across. To an extent he didn’t ‘fit in’ when it came to the rest of his team mates but from the outside you’d think he was exactly like them.

She was smart, studious and hard working, he was football mad, not too interested in studying and focusing on his grades and you’d never think this pair would get along.

When the tutoring starts they definitely don’t hit it off right away, they snark and argue back and forth pretty much every time they are together but as they start to spend time together you begin to see a different side to both characters and they begin to connect – in fact, after a while they connect really well!!!

Outside factors in the shape of family and friends and things that happened in the past give you insight into what has shaped both Jake and Claire. Initially, both main characters were quite unkind in what was thought and said before they got to know each other – it has to be said that their friends were worse, to the point it seemed quite cruel on occasion, even though we discover that there are possibly other reasons for the negativity and dislike….
I really enjoy a dual POV and finding out what makes each character tick…. Through the story both Jake and Claire develop and they begin to look at the other in a different light.

I liked Jake’s coach and how he, along with Claire after a while, knew there was more to Jake than he believed and that they cared enough to make him see it for himself.

I would have liked an epilogue to see how things worked out but that’s my only issue to be honest.
A well written, enjoyable story (when I didn’t want to smack one or three of the characters!!) I’m looking forward to reading more books from Tia soon.

BLP REVIEW ~ Tracy

Stacey Lynn is a new to me author but one who’s back list I will definitely be checking out!

Dirty Player was a hot, sexy and fun read. I really liked both Oliver and Shannon.

Oliver was arrogant and very confident – given his reputation and success you could get why he was like that – but was also extremely caring and protective of Shannon once they were together. Shannon was feisty, determined, loyal and a lot of fun. She’d given up a lot to help her brother Beaux achieve his dream of being a professional football player. Both had trust issues – both completely understandable – so they had some common ground to start with.
Neither thinking the other was what they were looking for, their initial getting together was only supposed to be short term… but the longer they spent in each others company and the more they got to know each other (in and out of bed!!), ending things when they were just starting was never gonna be on the cards.

There were some great supporting characters that were likeable, relatable and fun and I would love to find out more about them. The exes, gods, if I could have reached into my kindle and throat punched them, I would have done it, both were horrible folk!

Well written, with a fantastic epilogue, Dirty Player was a really great, engaging read that I would definitely recommend and I rate 4*.

BLOG TOUR ~ Draw Play by Tia Lewis

Blurb

I can’t believe my coach assigned me a tutor. I’m all that on the field and between the sheets—who cares about my stupid grades?But Claire doesn’t treat me like I’m dumb. When we’re not busy fighting, she actually encourages me. And with those sexy curves of hers, I know just how to thank her.

Claire:
I hate football players, but I need the money. Jake is just as cocky and arrogant as the worst of them … but his touch sets me on fire.

I have to believe he’s different, that he won’t use me and break my heart.
Because I can’t stop wanting him. I just hope I survive the ride.

Excerpt

Her hands tangled in my hair, pulling me closer to her. I made a noise of surprise—she almost attacked me. She was desperate for it, for me. There was something about that, something hot. She needed me. I would give her exactly what she needed.
I hated myself for giving in so easy, even as I kissed my way down her body. She moaned, and didn’t stop me when I peeled away the sheets. The sight of her, all of her, had me hard in no time. I had to be inside her. I had to be. She had to open herself to me.
I ran a hand down her body, skimming her curves, taking her in. The narrow waist. The round hips. The firm thigh and calf. Then up again. My fingers caressed her, drawing sighs from deep in her throat.
“Yes,” I whispered. “Let me make you feel good.”
She whimpered then, visibly relaxed. I had her where I wanted her, and the thought made my cock throb again.

BLP REVIEW ~ TRACY

 

Roadside Assistance is the second book in the Body Shop Bad Boys series, which is a spin off from the McCauley Brothers series that is a favourite of mine by Marie Harte.

Foley Sanders was quite a surprise…. We knew from the previous book that the guys at the garage all have a bit of a past, they are all big, tattooed and badass….. but Foley had a really sweet, caring and protective side to him which we saw often, particularly when he was dealing with his mum.
When he encounters Cyn, who is so unlike the females he usually dates, he is instantly intrigued and more than a little interested in the feisty female even though she seems to have a serious dislike of him.

Cynthia Nichols had pretty much had it with guys.. They can’t accept her as she is and no matter how things start out with them they end up trying to change her. Between this and the hurtful comments from her mother about her size and how she’ll never get or keep a man if she doesn’t pay more attention to how she looks Cyn has all but given up on men – until she runs into Foley.

This story was about acceptance and love. Not only being cared for as you are by someone else but about loving and accepting yourself and being open to the fact that someone can be and is interested in you for ALL of you, and that they honestly do like what they see, even when you can’t.

I loved how determined Foley was when it came to pursuing Cyn and how he made her feel. He was all in, regardless of how much she may have doubted his feelings. Don’t get me wrong, he was an idiot at points and had the typical ‘foot in mouth’ issue (especially on their 1st date) but he was a straight talking guy and had the best intentions when it came to the women in his life that he cared for. There’s so much more to Mr Sanders than how he looks, the guy is smart, funny, loyal, hard working, sexy and a hot as hell dirty talker (always a plus in my book… 😉 )

Cyn was sarcastic and funny and gave as good as she got – the banter between her and Foley was great fun to read. As the story unfolded we found out just how aware of her looks she was and why she felt as she did. Once or twice I wanted to give her a bit of a shake and make her stop looking back and comparing Foley to previous boyfriends, she needed to believe in him more than she did – but given her history, I did get why she had doubts and an occasional lack of self confidence. When she eventually got her head on straight I was cheering her on for finally getting with the program – and not just when it came to her relationship.

We once again met up with the other guys at Webster’s garage – always a lot of fun – and we found out a little more about Sam Hamilton (Foley’s best friend, and the main man in the next book in the series) that gave us a little insight into his character and why he did some of the things he did in the book (I could have happily smacked him at one stage) and we caught up with Del and Mike (from What to do with a Bad Boy, McCauley Brothers #4) and how things were going with them.
We were also introduced to the Donnigan’s (now, there’s another great series – let me tell you that’s gonna be as good a read as the Body Shop Bad Boys, but I digress)
I loved Nina, Cynthia’s sister in law, but gods, when it came to her mother….. aahhhh, that woman! As you’d expect from Marie’s books, the supporting characters were likeable and interesting and I now want to know some of their stories more than ever.

Roadside Assistance was a really great read and another hit in the Body Shop Bad Boys series. I’m really loving these books and can’t wait for more in the series!!
