Ride Steady by Kristen Ashley (part of the Chaos series)
June 30th 2015
The ride of her life . . . Once upon a time, Carissa Teodoro believed in happy endings. Money, marriage, motherhood: everything came easy---until she woke up to the ugly truth about her Prince Charming. Now a struggling, single mom and stranded by a flat tire, Carissa's pondering her mistakes when a vaguely familiar knight rides to her rescue on a ton of horsepower.

Climb on and hold tight . . . 
In high school, Carson Steele was a bad boy loner who put Carissa on a pedestal where she stayed far beyond his reach. Today, he's the hard-bodied biker known only as Joker, and from the way Carissa's acting, it's clear she's falling fast. While catching her is irresistible, knowing what to do with her is a different story. A good girl like Carissa is the least likely fit with the Chaos Motorcycle Club. Too bad holding back is so damned hard. Now, as Joker's secrets are revealed and an outside threat endangers the club, Joker must decide whether to ride steady with Carissa---or ride away forever . . .

The Four by Rhys Ford (part of the Ink and Shadows series)
July 2015
Kismet Andreas lives in fear of the shadows.

For the young tattoo artist, the shadows hold more than darkness. He is certain of his insanity because the dark holds creatures and crawling things only he can see—monsters who hunt out the weak to eat their minds and souls, leaving behind only empty husks and despair.

And if there’s one thing Kismet fears more than being hunted—it’s the madness left in its wake.

The shadowy Veil is Mal’s home. As Pestilence, he is the youngest—and most inexperienced—of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, immortal manifestations resurrected to serve—and cull—mankind. Invisible to all but the dead and insane, the Four exist between the Veil and the mortal world, bound to their nearly eternal fate. Feared by other immortals, the Horsemen live in near solitude but Mal longs to know more than Death, War and Famine.

Mal longs to be… more human. To interact with someone other than lunatics or the deceased.

When Kismet rescues Mal from a shadowy attack, Pestilence is suddenly thrust into a vicious war—where mankind is the prize, and the only one who has faith in Mal is the human the other Horsemen believe is destined to die.

Power of Attorney by N.M Silber (part of the Lawyers in Love series)
April 2015
Federal prosecutor, Jacob Sachs, doesn't enter a room, he storms it, usually with a trail of assistants following in his wake. His confidence and skills in the courtroom are legendary. He's accustomed to being envied and desired, but he's not accustomed to being challenged.

Abby Roth is an intelligent and skilled attorney, with a mind even sharper than her tongue. She's a force to be reckoned with, in court and just about everywhere else. She can hold her own with the best, and give even a courtroom Titan like Jacob a run for his money. 
When Jacob and Abby are forced to work together to stop an infamous group of hackers, it quickly becomes apparent that the chemistry between them is explosive. Together, can two lusty lawyers handle bossy bureaucrats, testy tree huggers, aspiring anarchists and a cranky bailiff named Harriet?

Winning Appeal by N.M Silber Review

2 stars out of 5
I'm so disappointed. I love this series, and was expecting so much more than what I got.

Synopsis:
"Once upon a time, a good girl who wanted to be naughty, met a naughty boy who wanted to be good...
Beth Pierce, is the Director of Fundraising for her older brother's new legal non-profit. She spends her weekends fighting off lecherous men at charity galas and her weekdays trying to hide her attraction for a certain sexy young attorney in her office.

Mark Patterson, is the object of Beth's desire. He spends his weekends having casual encounters with women and his weekdays trying not to think about how gorgeous, smart, and sexy Beth is. Because not only is Beth his colleague, she's the younger sister of one of his closest friends.

When Mark is assigned to escort Beth to those weekend galas, they both quickly realize that things could get very interesting. Will Beth be as naughty as she would like to be? Can Mark be as good as he wants to be? Even if they give in to their desire for each other, how can they risk romance when so much is at stake?"

I have been looking forward to this book for what feels like forever, but after reading it I feel like it was such a let down. Even though it wasn't unreadable there was still more that I disliked than I liked.
**It is upsetting because this book was supposed to be released in September, but the author pushed it back to rework and fit in Mark's point of view. I loved that Nadine did this and felt grateful that an author really listened to her readers, and also wanted to put out quality to work. But this was not at all what I was expecting. Given the delay I would have expected much more than what I got.**


What I had problems with:
-The fact that this was a novella, and was never labeled as one. I feel sort of tricked, because everywhere that I looked at regarding this book never categorized it as a novella. I went into reading this thinking that I was getting a full novel and a full story, but sadly this was not the case. I didn't find this out until finishing the book and then seeing the end page say "Winning Appeal: Lawyers in Love novella". I mean Adam and Lily's wedding was a novella(that I loved!), and that felt like much more of a story than this did.

-How rushed the story felt. I don't know if this was because it was a novella or what, but this story felt so rushed and fast paced that I couldn't full enjoy what was happening. One minute she was distracted and injuring him, and the next they were dating/making plans to have sex, and then dealing with a stolen painting. It all felt so clumped together and really took away from what could have been an awesome book.

-The lack of "lawyering". In most if not all of the other books in the series there was some court room time, and I really enjoyed those aspects but in this one there was none. One scene had Adam and Mark outside of a courtroom but other than that nothing. I get that Beth isn't a lawyer but the series is based on lawyers so it felt a little odd not having any of that in the book.

-Braden. I have no idea what happened because I usually love him, but in this book he made me so annoyed. He overstepped his bounds as a brother multiple times and it made me slightly uncomfortable. Beth is a grown ass woman she doesn't need her brother setting parameters on her sex life with her boyfriend. I loved that Beth told Mark how she felt about that and stood her ground that she was capable of making decisions in her life regarding him. The whole asking for Braden's blessing was also something that rubbed me the wrong way. Braden constantly made Mark feel guilty for kissing Beth...his girlfriend. They weren't doing anything wrong but Braden made Mark feel that they were and it really annoyed me.

-The mystery. It felt so blah, I really did not care about what was happening and who it was happening to. It honestly felt like a filler and not really like a thought out plot point.

What I liked:
-The mint scene. I was laughing so hard especially with the limo driver Louis tackling Mark for safety. I can't get over how hilarious and ridiculous that whole scene was!

-Mark and Beth. I thought they were very cute together and they seemed like a good fit. I like how much they both liked each other, and once they were able to relax around each other it was easy to tell how great they were going to be together. I think this is why I am so disappointed, I liked them so much and felt like their book did them no justice.


Final thoughts
Don't let my let my opinions keep you from reading this book and/or series. I hope you get more enjoyment out of it than I did.
**I am so excited for Abby and Jacob's book! I am truly hopeful that it will be better than this one was.**
