One weekend, Kristi and Cam both show up at the cabin that they own with other friends. That in itself wouldn’t be that unusual, but this time they both show up unattached. Usually at least one of them is in the middle of a relationship, but this time they are both free. So when a bet is made on a game of Hearts, there’s no reason for Cam and Kristi not to explore the lust that they each have for each other.
 
This one is a hard one for me to review because I didn’t have really strong feelings about it either way. Everything about the story was just so-so. If you like your romances to be low conflict and short, this might be worth reading. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be trying the next book in this series.

This is a continuation of Addison and Rush’s love story. Rush is still in Las Vegas working at his tattoo shop and Addison is back in Cali trying to get through finals, so she can graduate. Addison is worried about what happens next for them. She’s not content to see each other for a day here and there or even on the weekends. She wants to be with him as much as possible. To see him, touch him, make love with him and wake up next to him.

Rush wants Addison to move to Las Vegas and in with him. He plans to ask her when she comes for the weekend. He hopes she feels the same way he does but he’s cautiously optimistic. He forgot that his ex is coming to town this same weekend and will be working in his shop. He tries to keep the two away from each other because he confided in his ex about what happened between he and Addison in the past.

I love this series. I just wish the books were longer. It’s a series a very short novellas. I adore the characters and I admit I’m a little in love with Rush. He’s a very sexy character. He’s got a filthy mind and a filthy mouth. Both are things I absolutely adore. This kind of wraps up their story and the next book is about Vince and Lisa! I look forward to it and all the wonderfully filthy sex scenes and dialogue that I’m sure will come with it!

                      


Kate Reading Goals for 2014

My goals for 2013 were simple enough. And I’m good with simple. So I’m following in the same vein for 2014.
 
1. Read 200 books.
 2. Try the romantic suspense genre-a genre I’ve been avoiding. I want to read at least one each month, just to give the genre a fair shot.
 3. A challenge from Kay. The Wallflowers series by Lisa Kleypas.
 4. A challenge from Anne, yet to be determined.
 
And while not a goal, I’m definitely looking forward to getting back to reading my favorite plot. Marriage of convenience, an arranged marriage, mail order bride. My absolutely story line. But after a string of really bad ones, I decided in May to quit reading them for the rest of 2013. Now I can’t wait to start reading them again.
 
So I’m looking for suggestions and advice. What do you recommend in the suspense genre? How about marriage of convenience/mail order brides?
