This week for Christmas I was given a mills and boons Blaze 2 in 1 book. I have not taken the time to read mills and boons for so long I was a bit nervous about reading it. Let's face it even their Blaze is tame compared to the books I post on here but so far I have really enjoyed it. I am more than halfway through books one a cute cowboy Christmas tale. He was a foster kid turned lawyer who posed in a pin up calendar to save his foster family's ranch. She is a manager at a coffee cafe he visits and there is a little mystery but I think her twin sister died at 16. The main problem so far is he lives 5hrs away from her but generally they bump into each other and it's been full steam ahead. Sex on the second date? Yikes that's forward haha.
I guess what I discovered is that it is nice to read a book where there are no vampires, Dom\ Subs , magic, violence etc. Not saying I'm giving up the hard stuff but will definitely revisit the mill and boon every now and again.

Take Me Home - Alison Foster and review
Take
Me Home by Alison Foster
Title: TAKE ME HOME
Author: Alison Foster
Genre: New Adult,
Romantic Comedy
Release Date: December
22
EXCERPT
My skin feels prickly as I’m snapped out of
my self-pitying thoughts by a knock on the door.
“Who is it?” I say, looking through the
peephole. All I can see is a… Christmas tree?
No reply. I guess Christmas trees aren’t
big on conversation.
“What the hell?” I mutter as I open the
door just a smidge. A second later, I yelp in shock and try to close the door
shut when a man emerges from behind the green plastic tree.
Tanner Hayes.
“Did you really think it wouldn’t be me?
Santa knows who’s naughty and nice,” he says, lodging his big boot between the
door and the door frame before he pushes it wide open, flinging me backward in
the process.
My mind goes numb with thoughts of fleeing.
I shouldn’t be stunned. Tanner is a curse I can’t shake, but I am at a loss as
to how he could find me so fast.
Tanner paces around the room, putting the
Christmas tree down by the bed. It’s a huge, fake tree, complete with cheap
ornaments and lights that start blinking when he finally plugs them in after
struggling to locate an electrical socket.
“Kind of brings a little of the season into
this shit hole,” he mutters.
I stare at him silently, unable to
understand what the fuck is happening. I don’t get it. How in hell did he find
me? I know my father’s security team is sharp and fast but for the life of me I
don’t see how Tanner even figured out I fled, let alone how he located me and
drove up here. Did he take a helicopter? A plane? There’s something not adding
up.
He suddenly turns to me with a smug look on
his face. I hate him and yet I can’t stop admiring his bulging muscles. Tanner
is one of nature’s most successful experiments as far as integrating a
breathtaking physique with cocky coolness—tall and spectacularly ripped and
poised with a closely cropped crew cut that accentuates his angular features.
He oozes sensuality and confidence. He can grab control of any situation. Too
bad he’s arrogant, not to mention my father’s right hand. I can’t even count
the times he has saved the great Jordan Kane’s ass.
“What’s your plan about the cockroaches?”
he says after a while of silent staring as he takes in the miserable room.
“Cockroaches?” I cringe a little at the
idea. “They’ve probably all frozen to death in here.”
“Yeah, you’d like to think that, wouldn’t
you?” he says and then leisurely extends his leg to crush something with his
boot.
It takes me a while to determine the
squishy sound was him stepping on a cockroach.
OMG, this is so disgusting. I’ve had it
with him and his cold, controlling, manipulative ways. “I’m an adult, Tanner.
Go the fuck back to Los Angeles. You can’t make me do anything against my will.
This is Canada. I won’t cross at the border and I won’t get on a plane.”
The staring competition begins once again
until a grin forms on his lips. “I think I can make you do anything I want,” he
says, as cool as a cucumber.

My Review - as posted on Amazon
Tanner is a pain in the arse to Trista, always finding her when she tries to run away from her difficult family life and bringing her home. Trista dislikes Tanner for always being one step ahead of her but at the same time she is attracted to him.
In Take me home Tanner finds Trista on a stormy night and things get very heated. Tanner has sworn to stay away from women but Trista slips through his defences. Things are bumpy when Tanner returns Trista home but the story ends on a good note. I'm hopeful for a happy every after for these two. I can't wait to read more from these two in the future.

Take Me Home - Alison Foster - Review
We bump into Tanner in book three of Foster's Scandal series and he was intriguing from the start. When there was mention at the end of that series that there would be more of his story to come I couldn't wait. We already know that Tanner is attracted to one of his clients daughter and Take me Home is a more of a glimpse into that relationship.
Tanner is a pain in the arse to Trista, always finding her when she tries to run away from her difficult family life and bringing her home. Trista dislikes Tanner for always being one step ahead of her but at the same time she is attracted to him.
In Take me home Tanner finds Trista on a stormy night and things get very heated. Tanner has sworn to stay away from women but Trista slips through his defences. Things are bumpy when Tanner returns Trista home but the story ends on a good note. I'm hopeful for a happy every after for these two. I can't wait to read more from these two in the future.

The Last Betrayal - L. Grubb
Title:
The Last Betrayal
Series:
Crusader MC #2
Author:
L. Grubb
Release
Date: November 24th, 2015
Goodreads:
Synopsis:
Prologue.
I was unglued. Completely unhinged to the point of flipping everyone off and saying fuck this shit, packing my stuff and riding across the country where no-one can find me.
My heart feels like it’s bleeding wrong, pumping blood in the wrong direction. Cracked and shattered, it would take a lifetime to repair.
I may have known Lauren just a few months but she flew in, wreaking havoc with her bubbly persona, latching onto me like I was her Goddamn lifeline.
It was all fucking crap. It was just a bit of fun for her, she told everyone, wasn’t ready to settle down with the white picket fence and 2.5 kids. Did I ask for that shit? Hell to the fucking no. Never once did I mention I wanted all that. I just wanted her, as she was, but mine; only mine.
She broke me. Big bad biker dude and she fucking broke me.
My name’s Champ and it’s my turn to fucking talk.
