Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Good to be Bad is the third book in the Good Love series by Lauren Blakely and Lili Valente. Two of my favorite authors! You can read each book has standalone but I recommend reading the series since they are absolutely sexy, funny, and oh, so swoony.
Gigi James loves a good competition. She loves board games, Rubix’s cube, and baking the best pies. She is beautifully unique with her fashion and her ways of having fun. She hasn’t met a man who could love for her. Then, she meet him. A unicorn. A sexy Brit who could solve a Rubix’s cube in under one minute, who can make her melt with his sexy brain, and swoony foreplay while playing Scrabble. One night. That’s all she wanted. She didn’t have time for more but when you catch a unicorn could you let him go?
Hell. No. But when that unicorn turns out to be the competition in a baking event? She has to think about her business. The family business in her hands. Is he worth the risk to Sweetie Pies and more importantly, her heart?
Weston Byron wasn’t looking for love. He didn’t even want to find a date but when he sees her, he just couldn’t resist. He had to have her even if it was just for one night. She captivated him. He had no idea Gigi would change his world. He just had to prove to her that he wasn’t going to hurt her like the arses before him. He loved her quirks. Loved her even more for them.
Omg!! I loved the first two books but this one is my favorite. It’s so much fun and the heat leveled up! The characters are charming, brilliant, and beautiful. I also loved their nerdy sides. I mean, who wouldn’t love to have a library with a ladder?! Swoon.
Quotes:
“Let’s drink to the best kinds of games.”
“And those are?”
I lean close, brush a soft curl of her hair off her shoulder, then press a kiss to the column of her throat. “Bedroom games, of course.”
His words are sexier than his body, and his body is a work of art.
“I don’t bite. Not unless you ask nicely and tell me how hard you like it.”
5 out of 5 stars

Good To Be Bad is the third book in the Good Love series by Lauren Blakely and Lili Valente. Two of my absolute favorites together again. Woo hoo! These two women just make magic when they write together and I love every word! This is Gigi’s story. She’s running her business, living the dream and not looking for a man. But when she hears a sexy British accent attached to a suit wearing hottie, she can’t help but be intrigued and instantly attracted. West can’t help but be attracted to Gigi. She’s funny, sexy, fashionable and asks for what she wants. What’s a little fun now and then, nothing series. Until it’s more. And oh boy, is it more! Gigi and West are so fun together! They have so much in common in and out of the bedroom. Overall, I laughed, cried, got hot and bothered and smiled the entire time.

Audio: Lili Valente and Shane East once again dazzle us! They make the perfect pair and the perfect Gigi and West!

Blurb:

It was only supposed to be one time…

But that red-hot one night stand from the party?

The sexy man in the suit who gave me more Os in a few hours than I’ve had in a year?

Turns out my charming British stranger is keeping a little secret.

He’s as much of a whiz in the kitchen as he is in the bedroom and soon we’ll be going head-to-head in NYC’s biggest bake off.

My one-time lover is now my enemy. I vow to loathe him for all eternity, though that would be easier if I wasn’t dying to get naked with him again.

But the more I learn more about my rival, the more I suspect he just might be everything I’ve wanted…

If only I knew how to let him in…

Release Day Blitz & Review – Off the Record, Kristen Proby

May 11, 2021 | Posted in Release Day Blitz, Review | By

Off the Record: A With Me in Seattle Mafia Novel by Kristen Proby is now live!

From New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby comes the thrilling conclusion to her With Me in Seattle Mafia series…

Rafe “Rocco” Martinelli was never one for the family business. Alas, being born into a crime syndicate means doing the family’s bidding and making sure you’re connected–and, yes, breaking a few kneecaps. Rafe would love nothing more than to hang up his enforcer apron and live a quiet life, but as more and more higher-ups in rival clans turn up dead, Rafe realizes he doesn’t have a choice. Especially not when the captivating and gorgeous bratva princess needs his help. Dr. Annika Tarenkov learned early on that her belongs to her family. She’s a pawn in the long game, a bargaining chip for power and prestige. She gave up the only person in her life she thought she could be happy with, all for the greater good of the family. Now, a newly made widow and desperately seeking answers, she’s forced to confront her past as it converges with her present. But all it does is make her wonder about her future and how she can make Rafe hers again. While being with him is like wrangling a toddler at times, he still makes her heart race and her breath catch. And she wouldn’t feel safer with anyone else. With the chips seemingly stacked against them, they must work to uncover the perpetrators of the nefarious plot that’s been brewing for some time–before it’s too late.

Sandra's Review

5 out of 5 stars

Off the Record is the third book in the With Me in Seattle Mafia series by Kristen Proby. You can read each book as standalone but I highly recommend reading the series since they are tied together by family and friends. Two of the Martinelli men have found their happily ever afters and now it’s time for Rocco aka Rafe to finally get his.
Rafe fell in love with Annika ten years ago while they were in college. Torn apart due to their families being enemies. They had to move on. Annika was married. Rocco works within the family business as a killer and a pilot. They have seen each other over the years but they had to avoid one another. That didn’t mean they forgot the way the other made them feel. Loved. Adored. Wanted. Desired. Safe. But they could never be…
Right? F*ck that. Annika was lived through hell over the last ten years and it was time to get her life back. But first, it was time to kick some ass, and take some names. With Rafe on her side. A man who never stopped loving her. But can she get over her insecurities of being damaged goods?
I ♥️them!! I have loved this whole series. These friends and family are protective, sweet, badass, swoony, and sexy. Annika’s badassness was unexpected from the woman I met in the first book. She is messing around. And Rafe…yum!! Such a romantic. *swoon*. The writing is addictive. There are definitely some twists I didn’t see coming and I love that!
Quotes:
He lifts his bag off the floor and follows me up the stairs. I can feel his eyes on my ass. He always did have a thing for my behind. “It’s just a butt, Rafe.”
“A grade-A one,” he agrees, his voice filled with a grin.
God, I missed flirting with him.
“They’re all going to pay,” Annika says and turns back to me. Her mind is made up. I’ve never seen her this…fierce.
It’s a fucking turn-on.
“A man should have to earn this, A. And I just have to say, if you were hot then, and you were, you’re beyond my wildest dreams now.”
