Kick by C.D. Reiss
We are introduced to Fiona Drazen – currently under court appointed observation in an approved institution following her attempted murder of her Master.
Remembering nothing is not enough – she has a world of hurt in her past and the pain is only just beginning – how does she go on without the man she cannot live without.
Fiona has issues, far too many to mention and with Dr Elliot Chapman, trying to unravel her history and what makes her tick – all I am left with is the overwhelming question of what makes him tick? He has an ulterior motive – we just don’t know what it is. I was left intrigued.
I liked this and having not read the authors previous series – I promptly set about downloading all of her works and when the rest of this series is release I will be first to “one-click”

COME by J.A. Huss
Living alone suits Harper perfectly it keeps her safe or so she thought until James. Born into a world that holds no relevance to her, she was destined for a prearranged marriage at the hands of her father to a much older man at the age of 18 – she is on the run and determined for it to stay that way.A creature of habit – she follows her daily routine and does not deviate from it.
James has spent months watching Harper – getting to know her without her knowing – he has been in her home, knows her routine – he knows her and more to the point – he wants her because he knows in his heart that she is HIS. His Alpha tendencies aside he is determined that they get to know each other, because the one thing he will not do is give her up. But to get his girl he may have to do something more – he may have to acquiesce his power to her.
The plot is exceptional, the characters intriguing and the chemistry is off the charts.
Bring on Dirty, Dark and Dangerous – if this is an insight then I’m on-board!!!!!!!!!!

Worth by Shay Savage
A historically centred novella which is not my cup of tea but was without doubt well written and enjoyable.
The story centres around Tribunus Faustus, a high ranking roman soldier, and the slave intrusted to care for him while he recovers from his injuries. She is a lowly slave to all those around her but as he gets to know her he understands that she is worth more than the coins it will take to buy her – she is so much more. But can a man of his standing develop feelings for a slave – yes?

Eli Chambers and his partner, Cain Maddox, are looking for a roommate. Their relationship is far from platonic but add Paige into the mix and it will never be the same again – these three just need a nudge and it will set their world alight.
Loved this despite the fact that Paige could be a like on the wearisome side at times.
