Seducing the Heartbreaker
Seducing the Heartbreaker by Christine Glover
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Seducing the Heartbreaker (Hollywood Heartbreakers Book 2) by Christine Glover
This is Fiona Maguire and Jax Hannigan’s story.

Fiona and Jax have known each other for years. She has always had a crush on him. Jax has always been attracted to Fiona but she was dating and then engaged to his best friend who was killed in a wreck. Jax feels that his friend’s death was his fault but Fiona has her own secrets about her fiancee’s death.

Jax’s reputation has him on the outs and without a car to redeem himself in NASCAR. Fiona is a PR expert and volunteers to help Jax. They end up pretending to be dating but is it just pretending? The chemistry is so hot between them and their feelings for each other is much more just physical. But they both have things that they have not revealed to each other. Will they lose their chance at true love?

Jax and Fiona’s story was fun and steamy with some twists along the way. They have a lot of issues and things to work out. I could feel the characters emotions throughout the story. An enjoyable read.

Get Wilde
Get Wilde by Shelly Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Get Wilde by Shelly Alexander is book number three in the Checkmate Inc. series. This is Ethan Wilde (Dick) and Adeline McAllister’s story (Red). Ethan is the trainer that got the Checkmate guys all buff. This can also be read as a standalone but I recommend that you read the other books in this hot series just because they are so good!

Ethan and Adeline have both experienced tragic career changes. One minute they had a promising career in their sport and the next minute that dream was crushed. Also, they both have had relationship troubles.

I loved how Ethan and Adeline met and got to know each other. The banter and chemistry between Ethan and Adeline is off the charts. They end up in a competition against each other. The winner walks away with a large sum of money. Adeline can use this to help with her business troubles. Ethan can use this money to expand his business. How will this effect this attraction between them? Will they discover that taking a chance on love is more important than money?

Oh my goodness despite neither one wanting a relationship they cannot keep their hands off of each other. Fun, hot, and heartwarming romance with some complicated situations. A must read!
