Feature: Lost and Found Sisters by Jill Shalvis

They say life can change in an instant…

After losing her sister in a devastating car accident, chef Quinn Weller is finally getting her life back on track. She appears to have it all: a loving family, a dream job in one of L.A.'s hottest eateries, and a gorgeous boyfriend dying to slip an engagement ring on her finger. So why does she feel so empty, like she's looking for a missing piece she can't find?

The answer comes when a lawyer tracks down Quinn and reveals a bombshell secret and a mysterious inheritance that only she can claim. This shocking revelation washes over Quinn like a tidal wave. Her whole life has been a lie.

On impulse, Quinn gives up her job, home, and boyfriend. She heads up the coast to the small hometown of Wildstone, California, which is just a few hours north, but feels worlds apart from Los Angeles. Though she doesn't quite fit in right away, she can't help but be drawn to the town’s simple pleasures…and the handsome, dark-haired stranger who offers friendship with no questions asked.

As Quinn settles into Wildstone, she discovers there's another surprise in store for her. The inheritance isn't a house or money, but rather something earthshattering, something that will make her question everything she thought she knew about herself, about her family. Now with a world of possibilities opening up to Quinn, she must decide if this new life is the one she was always meant to have—and the one that could finally give her the fulfillment she's searched so long for.

ARC Review: House Rules by Cathryn Fox

This is Part 2 in the "Dossier" novella series. The series is about a group of friends who leave a birthday dossier for one another that includes a list of things that have to be done when each reaches a certain age. I did not read the first book in the series and it isn't required to read this one. I don't think there are any spoilers of preceding books so if you want to read this book, you can feel free to start the series right here.

This is one of Cathryn Fox's short dirty novellas. It's only 90 pages but it delivers everything you need to satisfy your craving for a bossy alpha male, a heroine who finds herself and lots and lots of steam. Kennedy has been in love with Sean since she is a teenager. Sean is the older brother of Kennedy's best friend. He has treated Kennedy like an annoying kid sister and never like a woman. So when Kennedy gets her dossier and it directs her to a location where she encounters Sean, it's her chance to shoot her shot. What Kennedy doesn't know is that as much as she has wanted Sean over the years he's been barely repressing his desire for her. When Kennedy shows up as a stripper at a club that Sean frequents, all the little sister best friend bets are off.

Sean comes up with a crazy idea to keep Kennedy around so they can explore whatever it is they have together without the dossier making things temporary. From the first time Sean is with Kennedy, he feels like one time is not going to be enough. Kennedy feels the same. The interesting thing about this book is that Sean doesn't tell Kennedy that he knows the girl he met in the club is the same girl he grew up with and Kennedy mostly believes he doesn't know. When Kennedy finally figures out Sean knows who she is, she doesn't tell him she knows. The couple spends most of the short book exploring what they have and unleashing some crazy chemistry. There isn't much of a story here because hey, it's only 90 pages. I have to say though, to be a novella, I really enjoyed these characters and I can absolutely say that the book is worth reading.

ARC Review: Snows Seduction by Kristin Miller

Snow’s Seduction is the first of a trifecta of fairytale meets kink meets...I dont even know, a love triangle? I've read this author before so I knew what to expect and this was pretty much it. These books are super short (like 80 or 90 paged) and suuuuuper dirty. They are particularly well suited for self date night material (you know, for intimate time with yourself) but the story is kind of not the main point. 

Just to give you an idea of the "story" here's a summary: Snow is a werewolf shifter (I feel crazy just writing that), it's her birthday, she's set to become the alpha of her pack and she has...financial issues? I don't know guys. I mean who did know that werewolf shifters have such mundane issues like money problems. I don't know if it was supposed to be funny but I found it hilarious that the wicked stepmother was the stepmother who mismanaged money because she liked jewels. I was like, wait, what? LOL! 

Anywaaaay, Snow is having a party, a bunch of shifters and what have you are attending and Snow is finally getting her shot with one who has been her long time crush- Malcolm. On top of being the smoking hot star of her fantasies, Snow's stepmother also leads her to believe  that Malcolm may be the answer to their financial problems. The problem for snow is that she is awkward and not really prepared for The Art of Seduction. Lucky for her and us, the readers, Snow's best friend Hunter is there to help her bring out her inner sexy. Of course that leads to her realization that she has chemistry with Hunter and eventually to the very steamy steam that makes up most of the pages of this short novella.

You just really have to take these books for what they're worth. I am not here to tell you that this is some literary work of art, because it's not. But what you do get is something that is fun, entertaining and super sexy. If you need a little spice in your life and maybe even a couple of laughs this isn't a bad book to pass a couple of hours with.
