Enticed By You by Amy Muscat

Entice by You
add-to-goodreads-button31

Peyton Emerson is working as a stripper in NYC to keep food on the table for her and her child Ivy.
Her boyfriend whom she loved dearly wanted nothing to do with her. Luckily, she has great parents and a great best friend/roommate Lottie.
One night she comes across the father of her child and he makes it clear that he wants her back.
Keller James has been away fighting in Afghanistan and now that he's back in the States, he won't stop until he finds the only woman he has loved. Convincing her that he never stopped might be the problem.

The book had a good premise. A second chance romance with deceit, love and friendship.
The characters were all ok, however the story felt unrealistic.
I do appreciate the lack of cheating and cliffhanger.

Cliffhanger: No

Seduce Me (Ravage MC #2) by Ryan Michele

Seduce Me

Casey Alexander has grown up in the Club's life. Her father was Bam, her best friend is Harlow "Princess"(heroine from Ravage Me) and Harlow's brother is Gage Thomas (G.T.) Gavelson who's the VP's son.
As long as she can remember GT has been in her life and she has loved him from a distance until one night everything changes and they're finally together. After a few weeks when she thinks GT will be hers, he hurts her in the worst way.  Casey runs away and makes new friends but she also learns that her heartache is not done.
When the MC is on lock down she is forced back home despite her not feeling like she's part of the family.  She is also forced to deal with her feelings towards GT.
GT made the mistake of pushing Casey away but he soon realizes he can't be without her.

I really liked this one. There was no insta-love. The story centers on GT and Casey, but we see how Harlow and Cruz are doing. We also get a new character in Bella. I wonder if she will get her own book.
Casey was a believable character. She did what she thought she should do to protect herself. She was devastated more than once but she picked up the pieces and moved on.
GT was a moron for letting her go, but he won me over and I was happy with him fighting for her this time.


“You know what she fucking wants. Loyalty. Honesty. Trust. She wants a man who only sees her and not the other millions of women in the world. She wants a man who treats her with respect and one she trusts to go out and not sleep with the entire female population.”

Cliffhanger : No

Brooke Anderson is dating the perfect boyfriend, too bad he isn't at the same college. She soon meets Rich Davis. A man full of purpose, dedication and no play. He also can be an arrogant bastard when he wants to be. It doesn't matter that he's gorgeous to look at. 
Sharing a project with him was the last thing Brooke wanted but she discovers that there is much more to him than meets the eye. The more time she's around Rich, the more she likes him. Unfortunately, it is not their time to be together. 
Ten years later when she meets him again he holds all the cards and he wants to win this game they started years ago.

I love second chance romances. They make me feel good. The best part of this book was Rich. When he meets her again, he's determined to make her believe in them. He does everything to convince her. He has been waiting for her for almost a decade and he won't give up this time.
Brooke, I had some problems relating too.

Cliffhanger: Yes

Synopsis

Perfection is an illusion fueled by the perception of others.
***
Tweet was my heart, my soul, and my purpose. She was my everything.
Neither of us were perfect. We both made mistakes. Looking back, that was okay, because every choice brought us to where we needed to be at the time we needed to be there. The one constant, our love and friendship.
There are two sides to every story and I wouldn’t trade our sides for anything in the world.

I Want It That Way (2B Trilogy #1) by Ann Aguirre



~ Synopsis ~

Nadia Conrad has big dreams, and she’s determined to make them come true. But between maintaining her college scholarship and working at the local day care to support herself, dating’s the last thing on her mind. Then she moves into a new apartment and meets the taciturn yet irresistible guy in 1B….

Daniel Tyler has grown up too fast. Becoming a single dad at twenty turned his life upside down—and brought him heartache he can’t risk again. Now, as he raises his four-year-old son while balancing a full-time construction management job and night classes, the last thing he wants is noisy students living in the apartment upstairs. But one night, Nadia’s and Ty’s paths cross, and soon they can’t stay away from each other.

The timing is all wrong—but love happens when it happens. And you can’t know what you truly need until you stand to lose it.

"A tender, sweet, and sexy story about how life—and falling in love—can never be planned."
—Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Wait for You

~ Review ~
Nadia Conrad is moving to her new apartment which she will be sharing with her 3 friends when she meets Ty the first time. Ty seems too serious and unhappy about having new neighbors. 
Nadia is starting her third year of college and she must do her best to keep her scholarship. Meeting a broody hot neighbor who has trouble written all over him is not what she needs. In spite of her doubts, she finds herself seeking to spend time out on the balcony with Ty and soon a friendship develops.

“Not that you aren’t also…hot as hell, completely irresistible in every conceivable way.”

Daniel "Ty" Tyler is raising his four year old son Sam the best he can. As a single parent, having a full time job and attending night classes he doesn't have time to date.  He's worried about the noise the new neighbors might create affecting Sam and his sleep. He's intrigued by Nadia and her genuine personality. It's also a plus that she is so good with kids and his son likes her.
He just doesn't know where this could go, and he doesn't want to hurt Sam if things don't work out. 
Can he move forward knowing this?

"I’m worried pretty much all the time that I’m dropping the ball somewhere, about to face-plant, but when I come out here and hear your voice, everything backs off, like, ten steps. I can breathe again.”


My thoughts:

I wanted to read this book as soon as I saw the beautiful cover.
Nadia was a nice girl and a nice friend. She was working hard towards her future and trying to make her parents proud of her accomplishments. When she meets Daniel, she knows she has a connection to him that calls to her. It's a plus that she likes Sam too. She is doubtful about a relationship because Ty comes with baggage and he doesn't seem to want a new relationship or family.

Ty is a great dad. He puts Sam's needs first in his life. He wants to protect him.

 “So I can thank God personally for Sam.”

His reactions all felt true to me including feeling tired from working, classes and wanting to just have a good night's sleep. He likes Nadia but he's not sure about wanting something serious, which I could understand. 
His emotions felt much more real to me than Nadia's. Saying that I'm not too sure I like that he never really fights for her. 
One thing I didn't like was Nadia's insta- love kind of attitude. Despite this, the end had me happy especially since I didn't realize it was a trilogy. 
I do wonder what the second book is about.

“You’ll always get hurt.” The words popped out before I could stop them but I didn’t mean them to sound so bitter. “You just have to make sure the person’s worth the pain.”

4/5 Fangs
