ARC Review: Mistaken by Fate by Katee Robert

Mistaken by Fate by Katee Robert is the third book in the Serve series, with each being standalone. I really liked this story, and I have to say it is probably my favorite that I have ever read of Katee's books. It was sexy and hot, and I loved the history and second chance romance between Ridley and Garrett. This one was a great addition to this series, and I am looking forward to reading more about the characters in the Serve world.

Ridley Ethridge has decided that she finally has the perfect stable guy for her in her childhood friend Will Reaver. She sets out to seduce him as a new sub at the exclusive erotic club Serve. But when the blindfold comes off, Ridley discovers that the man pleasuring her is none other than Will's twin brother Garrett. Ridley once loved Garrett, until he broke her heart eight years ago. Garrett was never able to get over Ridley despite the fact that he was the one who pushed her away years ago, and when he finds out that she intended to seduce his brother he sets out to be the only man that she needs. But Garrett still has the same fears that he used to, and Ridley isn't about to let him run away again leaving nothing behind but a broken heart.

I really liked Garrett and Ridley. They both had some issues and made some mistakes, but you could tell that both of them were never able to move past the connection between them. Not only did they have a good time together, but their needs and desires clicked on a level that they didn't with others. They were super hot together, and I really enjoyed seeing things play out between them. Ridley was submissive and liked being told by Garrett what to do, but she also challenged him and kept things interesting. Garrett was sexy and commanding, but he wasn't a complete jerk. His ultimate goal was Ridley's pleasure as well as his own, and he did a great job of taking care of her. I thought that the chemistry was there from the very start for these two, and I enjoyed seeing their emotional connection strengthen between them as they learned to trust one another.

Overall, I thought that this was a really great read. I enjoyed the characters and the story, and I thought that Katee Robert was able to tell a very satisfying story with these two. I definitely think that this is the best book I have read by her, and I look forward to seeing more of the Serve world. I am especially looking forward to seeing Will's story. I can tell there is so much more to him than meets the eye, and I am excited to see what is beneath the surface. I recommend this story and series for those looking for a sexy and erotic read.

ARC Review: Ice by Chelsea Camaron & Jessie Lane

Ice is the first book in the Regulators Series by Chelsea Camaron and Jessie Lane. While this book can be read as a standalone, fans of Chelsea and Jessie's will recognize some familiar faces from Chelsea's Hellions Ride Series and Jessie's Ex Ops Series. Having enjoyed books from both of these authors, I couldn't wait to dive into this one. I thought that it was a great start to this series, and I am really looking forward to getting to know the rest of the Regulators.

Morgan Powell is a twenty-four year old virgin that spends most of her time trying to advance her career as an investment banker. She was raised by parents that were more into appearances than the well being of their three daughters. When her parents kick one of her younger sisters out of the house, Morgan agrees to let her sister stay with her. When her sister Madyson and her best friend Brooke start getting into trouble though, she comes face to face with Brooke's father and they immediately get off on the wrong foot. Brett "Ice" Grady thinks that Morgan is doing a horrible job with her sister, and Morgan thinks that Ice is a total jerk. But the more they around each other, the more they begin to realize that there is more between them than just arguments. When something horrible happens, they discover that they are better together than apart.

I really liked Ice. At first he seemed to be a complete jerk, especially when it came to Morgan. But I really understood that he was doing the best he could to look out for his daughter. As a single father from a young age, he had been forced to deal with a lot more than he ever should have and it was clear that Brooke was his whole world. I loved that he started to really see that he had made some bad assumptions though as he got to know more about Morgan and her situation. Ice was a complete alpha that wouldn't apologize for who he was, but he was honest and upfront. It was also really great to see a MC male that was capable of being faithful, and I loved his character all the more for it. Morgan was strong and sweet, and I was really glad to see her determined to look out for her sisters. She was doing everything that she could to change her relationship with Madyson and show her what being a family should be like. But I really loved her relationship with Brooke. They clicked pretty quickly, and I really enjoyed seeing how she didn't try to take her mother's place or treat her as a child. She was respectful and let their relationship develop naturally, and I thought that she was perfect for both Ice and Brooke. Morgan and Ice had amazing chemistry and were super hot together, even though it took awhile for anything to actually happen between them. I enjoyed the build-up and the tension though, and it was good to see them developing a connection beyond just a physical level.
Overall, this was a great start to the Regulators series and I am really excited to see where it goes from here. I liked Ice and Morgan, but I really liked the secondary characters as well. I have to say that I am excited about Hammer's story, but I absolutely cannot wait to get to know Coal better. After reading about him in this book, I really loved his character! He was such a great guy when it came to helping Morgan and Madyson, and I just know that there is so much to him. I definitely recommend this book, and I think that this will appeal to more than just the typical MC fans. I think that if you like MC books you will like this one, but those that are a bit skeptical because of cheating and some typical MC type behavior have nothing to fear with this story. If you haven't read anything by Chelsea Camaron and/or Jessie Lane, I think that this is a great place to start but would recommend both the Hellions Ride and Ex Ops series as well.

ARC Review: Something Reckless by Lexi Ryan

Something Reckless is the first book in the Reckless & Real Series by Lexi Ryan. This series is set in the New Hope world, but these can be read as standalone from those books. I loved getting to see some familiar faces though, and if you haven't read any of those books I would definitely recommend them, especially the Here and Now books as the Reckless & Real Series features Hannah's sister Liz. I couldn't wait to start this book, and Lexi Ryan proved again why I love her writing so much! This book is an absolute must read, and I am dying to get my hands on the next book already!

Liz Thompson has been trying to find the right guy while also searching for a new job. Things haven't been going her way for a long time, so she has turned to online dating. She joined Something Real, a new dating site for her area that lets you meet people without ever exchanging photos or names until you reach certain points in your relationship. There she met Riverrat69 and they instantly hit it off. He was looking to research the app for investment purposes and wasn't looking for anything more, while she was looking for love. As time goes on, Liz begins to pick up on hints about who River might actually be, and she becomes convinced that he is her former lover Sam. She has never been able to get over Sam, despite the history that they have between them. When River suggests that they break the rules and meet in person, Liz finally agrees. Will River actually be Sam though, or has Liz been seeing what she wants rather than the truth?

Liz and Sam's story starts in Something Wild, the free prequel by Lexi Ryan. While you don't need to read that to understand this story, I would highly recommend it because for one it is free and for two you get to see the history between Sam and Liz and how things began for them. Liz had always wanted Sam, and had tried to get him to notice her. Sam had tried to do the right thing and wanted to wait for her to be older, as she was his little sister's friend. But the two of them always cared about one another, despite the many obstacles in their way. I was really rooting for these two from the start. It was obvious that a lot had happened over the years and that a lot of it wasn't good, but the connection and chemistry between them was undeniable. These two were smoking hot, and I loved seeing them find their way back to one another. Liz also had a connection with River, and it was easy to see why she was so convinced that River and Sam were the same person. I thought that they were very compatible and I was really looking forward to their meeting and the big reveal.

I will say that this book is similar to Lexi Ryan's other stories, in that just when you think you have everything figured out she throws you a curve ball. This book was fantastic, and I absolutely couldn't put it down. I thought I had it figured out right along with Liz, and it turns out I didn't have a clue until the very end. After finishing this story, I don't know if I wanted the next book more or to start all over and go back through this entire book again. I definitely need the next book, and I have to know what happens for Liz and Sam next. Things were left hanging in this one, and I need to see what happens after how things ended here. Luckily we don't have too much longer to wait, because I think it would probably kill me if we did. I really can't say much about how things ended or what happened, but I will tell you to just read this. Lexi Ryan is a fantastic writer, and I have yet to read a story of hers that I didn't love. She is absolutely an auto-buy for me, and all of her books are must reads that I know I will enjoy.
