Hello!
If you've been following my reading progress you now understand that I really LOVE to read, romance books of course, but my hubby told me I needed to cut my addiction 'cause I was increasing our monthly expenses :( so of course I needed to find a cheaper way to keep my addiction and cut my book expenses, so here are a few websites I found that publish a daily list of free ebooks available at Amazon, Kobo, Smashword, Google, Barnes and Noble and more...

Until Nico by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 HOT AND FANTASTIC MAYSON STARS!
Yes, the Mayson brothers are back and this time we get a full view of Nico, in my opinion, the most complicated of the four, but still hot, hot, hot!
If you’ve read the first 3 books in the series, then you know everything about the BOOM, right?... well now even Nico, the one who didn’t believe in that story about the Mayson men falling deeply in love at first sight changes his opinion when he meets Sophie, a shy and sweet librarian who doesn’t date because she has some issues with men in general.
Despite his effort to convince her to go out with him, Sophie keeps saying no, ‘cause is overwhelmed with Nico’s attention and she’s not sure she wants to pursuit what’s clearly growing between them.
“I don’t think it’s fair to explore this thing with him when I’m not even sure who I really am. His eyes meet mine, and he shakes his head.
“I don’t know what’s going on in that pretty little head of yours, but know this—you run and I will find you.”
Of course, he’s a Mayson!... so really Sophie has no much choice but to go with the flow, since Nico will take a no for an answer.
“Why do I feel like I just got screwed?”
“Baby, when you get screwed, you’ll know it,” I smirk.
Oh and the Mayson sweet possessive charm shows immediately!.
“I don’t know how I’m going to be able to cope knowing that men are looking at you when you’re out. I don’t even want to think about the times I’m out of town, leaving you alone.”
“Men don’t look at me.” I scrunch up my eyebrows and shake my head.
“Fuck yes, they do! You just don’t notice, and they’re too chickenshit to talk to you. No man wants to give a woman the power to crush his ego, and baby, I hate to tell you this, because I like that you don’t realize how beautiful you are, but you are the kind of woman that could make a man feel like he has it all or make him feel like he has absolutely nothing.”
But not all things sweetness, since there’s someone lurking in the shadows putting in danger their relationship, so the suspense factor makes of this book a better reading.
The author follows the same formula as in the other books in the series, a sexy and possessive alpha, a cool and fun heroine, a lot of sexy and hot scenes, some funny moments, and a bit of suspense, so if you liked the previous, then you’ll enjoy this one too.
But really the best part of the book is the EPILOGUE, as always is super fun to watch them deal with their kids, but deal with their grown up kids is even better!

Leonardo by Melissa Schroeder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 hot Santini stars!
I liked this one a lot. It’s well written, fast paced and the characters are likable, AND there’s a bunch of hot military men, hell yeah!. First there’s Leonardo Santini, the hero of the story who serves in the army teaching medicine. He’s hot, alpha and totally sweet too, oh and he has 4 brothers who also serve on the army, in different areas and we get to see a bit of them… well actually just one of them, Vincente, but their interaction reminded me a lot of the Mayson brothers from the Until Series…
”Leo looked at his brother. “Go away”.
“So rude. Mom’s not going to like that when I tell her”. He smiled at her. “I’m her favorite”. Then he walked away. No, sauntered away. That was the only way she could describe that walk.
“He is not mom’s favorite”.
Then there’s Maryanne, the heroine, a physical therapist who serves in an army hospital too, since all her brothers and father are in the military too, we see a bit of their interaction too and it was totally fun…
"He knocked on the door. He heard some rustling and then the door opened wide. It wasn’t Maryanne. It was a man, as tall as him, with dark hair and a rather pissy look on his face. He had apparently been sleeping.
“What?”
“Jackson Michael Johnson, is that the way you greet someone at the door?” Maryanne asked from behind the man. Of course, he could only hear her. He couldn’t see her with the massive roadblock in the door.
“I was sleeping, MJ” He saw a hand reach up and smack the man on the back of the head.
“Damn, MJ, do you have to hit so hard?” He stepped aside.
“Do you always cry like a little girl?” she asked.”
When Leo and Maryanne meet, he doesn’t like her so much ‘cause she’s though with her patients, but everything is just a cover up, she really is a very thoughtful person but being the little one in a household full of military guys, she learned to hide her soft side. She’s not very used to guys treating her kindly or trying to romance her, so when Leo acts like this, she’s pleasantly surprised and scared, since she knows it will be easy to fall in love with him and she’s scared he will break her heart…
“Maryanne?” She looked at him and blinked.
“You never call me MJ.” Not really a question, just a statement of fact.
“Yeah. You aren’t MJ to me. You’re Maryanne.”
She studied him for a second then her gaze softened. A lump rose in his throat that turned out difficult to swallow. She leaned forward to brush her mouth over his, not closing her eyes the entire time.
“What was that for?” he asked when she finally pulled back.
“For seeing me differently than anyone else does.”
A wonderful story to read with sweet and hot moments, and the glimpse of the second book, Marco’s story, looks promising!.

Gator by Bijou Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 intense stars!!!
See, the first thing I need to say about this book is, this is not a typical romance novel, it can'tbe with the 2 principal characters being as damaged as they are, but I did like it. Why?... well, I'm a junkie for books where there's two people figthing to have a chance, to find a happy ending, against all odds, and this book fits the description perfectly.
The principal characters live in a world full of darkness, Gator is a contract killer with a very troubled past, and Mia, she's and abused child, her parents were trash and use her for their own benefits. She's part of his next target, but when he sees her through her rifle scope, he sees something in her and he wants to keep her with him. He soon realizes that she's not a normal girl, she's a bit slow understanding things, but he wants her still, even more because he wants to protrect her.
In Mia's eyes, he's her savior, her protector and her chance at happiness, she's used to people use her and tell her what to do, but Gator, Jake for her, is different in her eyes, not the troubled man, not a killer, he's her light. She'll do anything to keep him with her.
Cradling Mia's face in my hands, I whisper, "Did you forget who you are?"
The fear and pain her eyes rip me until I want to rip Vic limb from limb. She nods while tugging gently at my shirt.
"What do they call me?" I ask.
"Gator."
"Does a man like me share his woman?"
Mia shakes her head. "I'm yours."
"Yes."
"I'm sorry I forgot".
This story may not be sweet or funny, but like I said, it's intense, full of hope and with two people looking for a chance to be happy, to find redemption and they will fight anything to get it.
With a few grammar mistakes, but if you look past those, it's absolutely worth it!

Last Chance by A.L. Wood
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3 stars
Unfortunately, this book was not what I was expecting. I thought we'll read more of Natalie and Steele, but instead most part is written in Liam's or Layla's POV, although the book is still focused in their relationship.
There's a lot of dramatic and intense inner dialogues from the characters, but at some point I felt nothing really happened, and some of the things didn't feel realistic (view spoiler)[the pregnancy for once, I thought how did that happen if she swallowed a buch of pills!... I don't know I didn't buy it (hide spoiler)]
There's actually not so many steamy or sexy scenes, but there's a HEA and that part I did like it!

First Chance by A.L. Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4 rocking stars!
I added this one long time ago and I never had the chance to read it, I guess it got lost among all the other books on my TO READ list, but then I got it for free at Amazon and read it AND I liked it very very much. Maybe I was craving some drama, and this was exactly was I was looking for.
The story goes like this; Natalie is a girl who seems like what people call an "uppity bitch" (Steele's words not mine), she seems unapproachable from the outside, but everything is a facade, she's actually very broken on the inside. She lost her parents a few years back and what she's trying to do is go through life without forming any bond that may cause her pain, so she remains unattached, except for her best friend Layla.
Then we have Ryan "Steele", the lead singer in "Steele's Army" a very famous rock band. Steele's life wasn't easy either so he's enjoys a lot his rock star lifestyle.
When they meet, he's offended by her tough exterior, basically with the fact that she seems unaffected by the band fame. He wants to break her, she tries to be strong and shows no weakness to him.
Basically that's the story, but add steamy scenes, great characters and you have an great reading time!
My favorite character was Liam, Ryan's best friend who apparently understands Natalie better that even Ryan. I'm sure there's an interesting story behind.
The worst part was the freaking cliffhanger at the end, so I'm reading the next part immediately!

Promise Me, Cowboy by C.J. Carmichael
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3 sweet and promising stars
Sage Carrington was a horse barrel racer when met bull rider and hottie Dawson O’Dell. They had a thing that unfortunately ended with Dawson’s wife caught them in the act. Sage was heartbroken and hated Dawson for lying about his married status. Sage had an accident the next day and decides to leave the rodeo life behind and go back to Marietta, Montana with her family.
Five years later Dawson shows up in Marietta to participate in the Copper Mountain Rodeo, with a daughter and he is determined to gain Sage’s trust and love back.
“Just so you know what you’re missing” And then he reached for her, pulling her close, putting a hand under her chin and kissing her in a very rough and meaningful way.”
The story is short, sweet and simple to read, there’s not many complications in their relationship, although, in most part of the book there was no real relationship between them. I think I missed more interaction between Sage and Dawson, ok more like physical interaction, but definitely a good book, like when you put a piece of meat to cook on a crock pot, it will cook slowly but in the end it’ll be tenderly good. Yeah, that was my feeling with this book.
