Title: Full House
Author: Jess Dee
Blurb:
A full house beats a pair any day.
Three of a Kind, Book 3
It’s been a long, lonely business trip for diamond dealer Max Ashberg. He’s missed his lover like crazy, and he’s come to the realization that he’s ready to take the next step: nominate himself to be Trev’s new housemate. Except when he gets to Trev’s place, there’s someone living in “his” room. A woman—with the face of an angel.
Six weeks shouldn’t make a huge difference in a man’s life, but in that time lawyer Trev Greenfield has realized two things: He wants much more than a standing Friday night “date” with Max. And he’s falling heart-over-head for his new housemate, potter Grace Miles.
Grace never meant to fall for Trev, but when a power failure turns their chemistry into live electricity, there’s no denying the spark. There’s also no denying the shock when Grace discovers a naked man in her new home.
With Grace poised to run and Max teetering between confusion and growing lust for the delicious possibilities, Trev has his hands full trying to hold the two loves of his life together…before they slip through his fingers. Leaving them all with shattered hearts.
Warning: There’s a lot of sex in this book. I mean a lot! Hot sex. Sweaty sex. Gay sex. Straight sex. Ménage sex (M/M/F and M/F/M). Oh, and romantic sex. Lots of romantic sex. Hot romantic sex. Sweaty romantic sex. Gay romantic sex… You getting the picture?
REVIEW:
I really really enjoyed this book, it starts off a little different than your normal romance since some of the characters have a their relationships established already but its the way Jess Dee brings all of them together that entrances you into the story and trust you will not be able to put down. I liked how she wrote the conflict of their relationship and how being unconventional can work even if no one else approves of it. This book was very close to my own philosophy of if it makes you happy who cares what anyone else thinks.
Oh and have I mentioned how HOT and STEAMY it is? Jess surely does not disappoint in that department either. The chemistry between Gracie, Trev and Max is phenomenal, shows us just what we would do for our loves. The love just pours out of this book, it was more than just excellent wonderful sex. Once again Jess Dee has a written a winner!

TITLE: Trouble Under Venus
AUTHOR: Autumn Piper
BLURB:
For some love lasts a long time, for others a lifetime. Can theirs outlast space-time? Randi's summer vacation plans? Attending Professor Sudo's Time Travel Academy so she can blast back to 1980 Miami and figure out where her father disappeared to. She's the head of her class until hottie Mitch arrives disguised as a geeky geologist and totally messes up her meditation. Goodbye Soulful in Sedona, hello Yearning in Yoga. So long solo time-travel, hello pushy partner--who happens to be a buff tri-athlete, a sympathetic listener, and an ace FBI agent on a top-secret mission. With his help, she'll conga her way into the Cuban mafia, try not to destroy the delicate fabric of the space-time continuum, dodge a few bullets, and solve The Mystery of the Missing Dad. And maybe fall just a little in love... Content Warning: A new adventure in women's fiction, with a heroine who boldly goes where no chick has gone before, tons of danger and intrigue, a roller-discoing Granny, life and death betrayal, steamy Miami nights and one hot FBI agent.
REVIEW:
Randi is hell bent on trying to figure out what happened to her father whom she has never met, the only way to do that is to go back in time to 1980 which was the last time anyone saw him. Professor Sudo has discovered a way to go back in time thru meditation, electrical chakras and finding a special vortex, but only those that have mastered the art of true meditation will be able to complete their missions and get an opportunity to fulfill their wish. Randi is very hopeful she is going to be one of those people, hopefully hunky male Mitch does not alter her plans.
I was very excited to read this book because I love anything sci-fi and sure enough it did not disappoint. The main part of this book is in Miami, which I am from, and could not help but laugh at the author’s description of certain characters from the 1980’s. I was drawn to its intrigue, could not put it down because I needed to find out what happened next. The chemistry between Randi and Mitch was amazing, the way they teased each other and made each other mad just added to their romance. I like that the author made it a challenge for them to be with one another, knowing that they shouldn’t be together just added that special thrill. It had a lot of twist and turns which I noticed in other books can come off a bit confusing but in this book was written so well you had no problem staying caught up.
If you are looking to read a book with a suspense/mystery/sci-fi genre with some romance added then this one should definitely go on your TBR list. I did get emotional at the end, I noticed the author likes to torture her characters in a good way and does not disappoint in their HEA.

TITLE: Poseidon's Catch
AUTHOR: Susan Hanniford Crowley
BLURB:
Sexy Poseidon aches for eternal love.
Mila would be content to taste love once however fleeting.
When Poseidon meets Mila, a passion ignites in him that he’s never known but she is burdened by a secret.
Can Poseidon save the woman he loves before the sands of time run out?
EXCERPT:
“I want to hear what Aphrodite suggests.”
Her smile broadened. “For starters, the beard has to go. It makes you look old.” She tousled his hair. “That wavy black mane of yours could use a trim. Oh, those gorgeous cerulean eyes are perfect. Maybe some sunglasses to play a sexy game of peek and boo.”
The two gods followed the goddess of love, as they went down two corridors and into her throne room. A mirror on a marble table stood off to one side. The three gazed into it at once.
“Now to find the perfect place where Poseidon can fall in love.” Paris lit up then faded. Numerous romantic locations displayed their glory in Aphrodite’s mirror. Finally it was down to two: The French Rivera and Cancun.”
A frenzy of almost nude dancing bodies filled their view. “Cancun is having a bacchanal?” Poseidon stared wide-eyed at the wet barely clad beauties.
Apollo drooled. “This one. Posei, pick this one. I’ll go with you.”
The view kept changing. In a sea of faces, Poseidon saw one small delicate face. Then she was gone, lost in an ocean of sprawling, celebrating, feasting humanity.
Aphrodite giggled. “Cancun it is then.”
REVIEW:
Poseidon the Greek God of the Sea has a dilemma, he doesn’t want to have unattached sex anymore and realizes he wants to find his true love. Where does an immortal Greek God look for love? In Cancun of course, with the help of his friends Aphrodite and Apollo he sets out to find the one that will own his heart, even though Apollo is really only after getting more conquests under his belt.
Mila enjoying her vacation in Cancun would have never expected love to literally fall into her lap. When Poseidon trips over her beach umbrella and breaks it, he can’t help but ask her out to dinner but she sadly declines. From that point on he is determined to make her his.
I really enjoyed reading this book, great twist on Greek Gods. This is one of those tragic love stories which makes you tear up at the end. The relationship between the hero and the heroine were wonderful and author made it a point to show how their love grows. I enjoyed the hidden factors in the plot, made you sense something was up but not sure what, the suspense and intrigue added to the very steamy and sentimental love scenes. Made you question: what would you sacrifice for your true love? It would be great if the author told Apollo’s story, I am pretty sure it would be a fascinating read to see which woman would finally bring him down on his knees lol.
