Amazon US  *  Universal Link




My Rating - Stars!


Riley Long's The One Night Plan is a fun one night stand romance. The third book in the Crushing series, it is easily read as a standalone. 

In this part of the Crushing tour, Lucas has a one night stand with someone who's famous and closeted. And to make it worse, the guy is his new client. 

Nicky is a closeted rock star who has no plans to come out. But Lucas changes everything, as he can't resist his new publicist.

This is a book that follows the two men on their fairly straight forward journey of trying to make things work.  

The One Night Plan is a cute and simple read. This Riley Long book is a a good bet for anyone looking for a light angst rocker read.

 

 


Lucas nodded and stood, ready to follow Nick just about anywhere. The guy was hot, with his husky voice and his muscular arms, and his confidence was magnetic, drawing Lucas in. The way he’d touched Lucas’s thigh made his whole body scream out for more. Lucas didn’t see any red flags or hear any warning bells. He’d had a handful of hookups with varying degrees of satisfaction, though usually not with strangers. Something about this guy felt right. And just like moving to LA, just like taking off to find the bar, when something felt right, Lucas felt compelled to go with it.

Outside of the bar, Nick led the way, guiding Lucas several blocks farther into the city. They soon arrived at a hotel that was … well, not what Lucas had expected. He’d figured Nick would guide him to a cheap, anonymous motel with questionable cleanliness. That’s what usually happened with his one-night stands, right? Instead, they’d arrived at a shiny new building, several stories high, the front modern glass and metal, everything very angular. Lucas raised his eyebrows, mentally reassessing the situation. Who are you, Nick, to take a stranger to such a nice hotel for a hook-up?

Nick didn’t hesitate when they entered the brightly lit lobby. He led Lucas over to the elevator and hit the button firmly. The moment they were inside, Nick was on Lucas, placing his strong hands on either side of Lucas’s face. He pressed their bodies together and then their mouths. He had Lucas pinned against the wall, and Lucas’s heart pounded, his dick getting harder with every passing second. Nick’s hands gripped him firmly, rough fingers stroking his jawline as his hot mouth captured Lucas’s, tasting of gin.

They kissed frantically, Lucas tugging at Nick’s clothes, already desperate for the feel of skin, which he was rewarded with briefly before the elevator dinged softly and the doors slid open. Nick pulled away, cleared his throat, and adjusted his shirt, standing straighter in an effort to look composed. Lucas couldn’t help but grin. Luckily, there was nobody waiting to board.

Nick grabbed Lucas’s hand. “This way.” The hall branched in several directions and Nick put a hand on Lucas’s lower back. The touch sent sparks up Lucas’s spine as Nick guided Lucas to a room a few doors down.

The beep of the door lock sent a twist through Lucas’s stomach and he licked his lips to moisten his suddenly dry mouth. I’m really doing this—hooking up with a sexy stranger my first night in LA. He fought to suppress a bubble of laughter. What a cliché.

But really, Nick was sexy. As they entered the room, the dimly lit lamp in the corner illuminated Nick’s strong, square jaw and the high cheekbones that made him look like a model. Broad shoulders stretched his t-shirt to its limits. Lucas could hardly wait to be wrapped in Nick’s muscular arms.

MF - The Follow (The Follow #1) by Eliza David







Blurb

New hire Shauna McIntyre joins The Charisma Group, a New York-based talent agency specializing in social media management. Even though she has never been much of a fangirl in her personal life, Shauna expects that her signature professional task is managing the online fandom of her famous clientele. What she didn’t expect was to fall in love with one of them.

R&B sensation King Smith has made a career of singing soulful tunes and strumming his guitar for his adoring fans. King also harbors a secret: he’s in recovery for sex addiction. When King lays eyes on Shauna, the crooner with a craving for no-strings lust decides to change his life in an effort to hold on to her.

Once King is tempted by the admiration of a persistent online fan, Shauna has a decision to make. When professional lines are blurred and relentless love takes hold, will Shauna sacrifice her rising career for an affair with a famous man with a seemingly insatiable thirst for his fandom?

My Rating - 5 Stars!


The Follow is definitely not the normal rocker romance.  The first book in Eliza David's The Follow series, I love it. 

King is a famous rocker who happens to be a sex addict. I definitely don't see too many authors exploring this all too real issue.

My first time reading this author, I really enjoy the writing style. The author does a terrific job developing the characters, allowing the reader to fully become invested in them. Both characters evolve as the story goes, and they are inspirational in the way they can be truthful and open with their feelings. The writing style pulls the reader in the characters minds and emotions. 
Yes, we all know the stereotype that rockers sleep with a lot of people, but this one puts a new spin on this. The sex addition is written in a tell all way. The author doesn't shy away from King's problems at all, and the way this can prohibit one from being in a serious relationship. From the start, King is portrayed as having a serious problem and it is definitely shapes his life.

As for Shauna, she's portrayed in a relatable way. She feels the attraction but has to deal with his addiction. She is not nieve or stupid, making for an enjoyable story.

I enjoy the manner in which the story is told time wise. It starts in the present and quickly returns to when the characters met and the development of their relationship. Their story is full of steamy scenes, some tough angst, and a whole lot of chemistry.


The Follow is a worthy read, as Eliza David tackles this one with compassion and care. As a fan girl myself, this one hits me in all the right places. The social media aspect is scarily accurate.

Rules of the Game by T.L. Travis







Blurb

Kendall Shaw is in a rut. Sick of feeling like his dad’s personal puppet. Sick of being set up on less than stellar dates by so-called friends and family. Just plain sick of everything. That is, until Joe enters the equation.

Joe Butler has worked diligently to build his architecture business and reputation, which has just signed its biggest client to date. A law firm with endless connections in the greater Seattle area. Connections that could elevate his firm’s status.

When Kendall and Joe’s paths cross, sparks fly. But Joe has a strict no dating policy, especially when it comes to clients. But Kendall is relentless and refuses to accept no for an answer.

In this battle of wills, who will be the first to give in?


Review 
My Rating - 3.5 Stars!

Rules of the Game is a short, fast paced romance between client and attorney. 

There are some cute moments and some hot sex. As a short, it's cute and a little bit sweet. Despite wishing it was a longer story, it's a charming short story. 

They're definitely a cute couple, but I want more of them. At the current price point of $1.99, I wouldn't buy it, as it's only 34 pages. But if the price drops, it's a cute one.
