From USA Today Bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a new, fun, steamy standalone about a notorious playboy and the nerdy girl who brings him to his knees.

Boston's debauched elite is going up in flames, and it's the Fitzpatrick family that set it on fire.

Hunter

I didn’t mean to star in a sex tape, okay?
It was just one of those unexplainable things. Like Stonehenge, Police Academy 2, and morning glory clouds.
It just happened.
Now my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston’s nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan.
The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family’s oil company.
Little does she know, that’s not the only pipe I’ll be laying…

Sailor

I didn’t want this gig, okay?
But the deal was too sweet to walk away from.
I needed the public endorsement; Hunter needed a nanny.
Besides, what’s six months in the grand scheme of things?
It’s not like I’m in danger of falling in love with the appallingly gorgeous, charismatic gazillionaire who happens to be one of Boston’s most eligible bachelors.
No. I will remain immune to Hunter Fitzpatrick’s charm.
Even at the cost of losing everything I have.
Even at the cost of burning down his kingdom.

I’m just going to rip the Band Aid off. I can’t think of one positive thing to say about The Hunter. The plot is meh, but most of my issues have to do with the main character.

Review: A Shadow in the Ember by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Review: A Shadow in the Ember by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Confused, confounded, befuddled, perplexed. That pretty much sums up my feelings about A Shadow in the Ember, book one in the Flesh and Fire series. It seems like everyone LOVES this book, so clearly I’m in the minority. Granted, I haven’t read the Blood and Ash series, to which I now know this book is a prequel. Since this is the first book in a new series, though, I assume it could stand alone.






Review: The Setup by Meghan Quinn

Review: The Setup by Meghan Quinn

Let me start by saying I’m a fan of Meghan Quinn’s baseball series, and I still recommend it even though I was disappointed in The Setup. I enjoyed the start of the book very much. There is a lot of fun banter as well as the beginnings of a nice slow burn between Lincoln and Indie. I also liked their fun competitive nature and the mutual respect that only two young and gifted athletes could fully appreciate.
