My Rating 5 Of 5 Stars
Synopsis
The Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster phenomenon continues in the first heart-pounding new adult romance in The Maddox Brothers series.
Fiercely independent Camille "Cami" Camlin gladly moved on from her childhood before it was over. She has held down a job since before she could drive, and moved into her own apartment after her freshman year of college. Now tending bar at The Red Door, Cami doesn’t have time for much else besides work and classes, until a trip to see her boyfriend is cancelled, leaving her with a first weekend off in almost a year.
Trenton Maddox was the king of Eastern State University, dating co-eds before he even graduated high school. His friends wanted to be him, and women wanted to tame him, but after a tragic accident turned his world upside down, Trenton leaves campus to come to grips with the crushing guilt.
Eighteen months later, Trenton is living at home with his widower father, and works full-time at a local tattoo parlor to help with the bills. Just when he thinks his life is returning to normal, he notices Cami sitting alone at a table at The Red.
As the baby sister of four rowdy brothers, Cami believes she’ll have no problem keeping her new friendship with Trenton Maddox strictly platonic. But when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever—even if she is the only reason their already broken family could fall apart.
In the first installment of the Maddox Brothers books, readers can experience the rush of reading Beautiful Disaster for the first time, all over again.

My 5 Review
Wow, What Can I say Jamie had me falling in love with the Maddox Boys in BD....... and I LOVED Travis, I did not think anyone of the boys could top him.... I thought wrong Trent Maddox is AMAZING, sweet, sexy, and LOVES hard when he loves....
I devoured this book in 24 hrs. There is just something about Jamie's writing and her stories that pulls you in from the start. I had no choice but to keep reading until I got to the very end.
This is one of those stories where you need to go into it not knowing any spoilers for sure, otherwise it could ruin the full story and effect of it all on you.
“Have you ever wanted something that you knew you shouldn’t have? That it was wrong on every level, but you knew you needed it?”
Trent tattooed, sweet, I loved him, I loved how he loved hard.... I loved how he wormed his way right into Cami's life even though she tried to fight him.... they became friends.... Best friends....
"I've had a lifetime of wrong. You're the only thing that's right."
Cami, She was so independent. She was a heroine I truly loved. She knew the minute that her and Trent had become friends she would be in trouble. After all every knows that the Maddox boys scream trouble. Women love them, and Men dream of being like them. Where ever you see a Maddox you see woman wanting to be on their arm.
“I’ll help you get lost any time, Sunshine. The only deal is you have to promise to come back. I never want to lose you again.”
Watching the friendship between Trent and Cami was awesome, sweet, and I just loved every minute of it. I was happy to see also that their relationship was a slow build and it was not instant love.
I loved getting pieces of Travis and Abby in this book as well as some new characters that I fell in love with also. I can not wait to see what comes next in this series.
There is alot more to this story, but honestly I do not want to spoil any of it for anyone... So I will leave you with this ....

Synopsis
TAKE – verb: to reach for and hold in one’s hands or get into one’s possession, power or control.
Logan Mitchell is a man who’s always been more than happy to take what he wants. It’s a philosophy that’s proven lucrative in both his business and personal life, and never was it more apparent than the night he laid eyes on Tate Morrison. After pulling out all the stops and convincing the sexy bartender to give him a try—he’s hooked.
Now, Logan finds himself in a predicament that demands more from him than a smart-ass answer and his innate ability to walk away when things get too deep.
He has a choice to make, and it’ll force him to do something he’s never done before—take a chance.
Tate Morrison knows all about taking a chance. He took the biggest one of his life the night he showed up at Logan’s apartment to explore his unexpected reaction to the man.
Ever since then, he’s thought about little else.
At first he was convinced his attraction was based solely on his body’s curiosity. But the more time he spends with the silver-tongued lawyer, the more Tate realizes that their physical chemistry is only the beginning.
He’s starting to catch a glimpse of what life with Logan would be like, and it’s one full of excitement and satisfaction—a far cry from what he had in the past with his soon to be ex-wife.
Each man will face their fears as they begin to understand the true meaning of give and take. Their feelings for one another will be tested, as will their very beliefs. But now that they’ve found love where they least expected it, will they be brave enough to reach out and take it?

Excerpt
“That’s your truck?”
“Yes.”
“It’s so…”
“So what?” Logan challenged as he pulled his keys from his pocket.
“Old?”
“Excuse me. I’ll have you know I was driving this baby all through college and she still runs like a dream.”
Tate watched as Logan walked over to run his hand over the scratched-up tailgate, and he was amazed that he even made that look sexy. Like he was stroking a lover.
“And it’s a she, huh?”
Now around at the passenger’s side, Logan opened the door and looked at him over the bed of the truck. “Yeah. Jealous?”
Laughing, Tate walked over to where Logan stood with a hand on the door and kissed him slowly on the mouth.
“I’m jealous of anything you stroke like that.”
“Get in the truck, Tate.”
“Or else?”
Logan stepped forward, crowding him back against the inside frame of the vehicle. “You’re not ready for the or else…”

My 5 Star Review
I did not think it was possible to love Tate and Logan any
more than I already did after reading Try, BUT Ella proved me wrong with Take.
Take continues where Try left off and the story of Tate and Logan continue.
Logan always takes what he wants and he wants Tate no holds
barred. Watching these two men go
through the feelings and emotions in this book was amazing. Their relationship
takes on a whole new front in this book. When they decide to make it publicly
known that they are in a relationship.
Tate does not know how he is going to deal with his parents,
but he knows he needs to and soon before his ex wife and sister do it for him.
Logan’s family and friends welcome him with open arms and you can surely feel
the love from them all.
These two men have some hurdles to get through and some
curve balls are thrown their way, but their relationship is stronger than they
both think.
One thing I loved about this one was that Tate took the
reins more and he did it so powerfully. Once he realized that Logan was truly
what he wanted there was no stopping him from having him. Watching these two
men grow more emotionally attached in this book was awesome.
Ella has a writing style that I truly love. She brought us
two great characters that I fell in love with instantly. She brought us raw sex
scenes, but also some very heartfelt emotional ones as well.
I can not wait for the next book. I love Tate and Logan and
am waiting patiently for more of them.

What happens when three irresistibly sexy brothers lose a poker bet to their enterprising sister? They get hired out for her housecleaning venture. Now, the Manley Maids are at your service. Satisfaction guaranteed. It’s what a woman wants...
Resort entrepreneur Sean Manley was all set to buy an historic mansion at a great price, making a name for himself while making millions, when the seller and a poker bet change the game. Now he’s in the place as a hunky male maid and there’s one more complication: Livvy Carolla.
The house is Livvy’s inheritance. Her plan? Unload it to the highest bidder and use the cash to start her own bakery business. One look at the help” and she’s hot to take him with her. Until she finds out he’s got a secret agenda.
But when Sean falls for the free-spirited, strong-willed Livvy, he has new ideas for the estate—and Livvy’s part in it. If all goes well, they’ll both be getting what they want. And then some.

My 4 Star Review
This is the first book of Judi's that I have read and I will say it was a refreshing delight to read.
What a Woman Wants is the first book in the Manley Maids series and features three brothers Sean, Bryan, and Liam Manley who have lost a poker hand to their sister and become maids for a month as part of her business.
The first story is about Sean, he is a resort entrepreneur, who buys historic mansions and turns them into resorts. Sean has had a Historic Mansion that he wants in his mind for some time now. The Martinson Estate, owned by the previous owner, Grandmother Meriweather Martinson. Her granddaughter, Livvy Carolla has inherited the Mansion, but wants to make a quick sale. She had no relationship with her grandmother at all. So she wants nothing to do with the Estate.
Livvy who was abandoned as a child into boarding school,never had a relationship with her grandmother. She goes to the Estate with the intention of getting it sold as quick as she can. What she does not plan on is having to deal with Sean.
Livvy has a big obstacle in front of her and that is her grandmother's will. One that it seems she planned out very well with conditions that had to be met with by Livvy. Livvy enlists the help of Sean on her scavenger hunt so she can get things done and sell the Estate. what she does not know is that Sean has a plan of action himself. After all he wants the Estate himself, BUT Livvy does not know this.
I loved the back and forth between these two. The cat and mouse of the clues that Livvy had to find because of her grandmother and her will Stipulations.
Will Livvy find all the clues and sell the Estate? Will Sean get what he wants in the End? Or will these two comes together and build a life together at the Estate??
What a funny, sweet read it was. I enjoyed this one and I am looking forward to the next one as well.

About Judi
I have been writing for as long as I can remember, winning my first writing award in a second grade Caldecott Medal contest. Readers' Digest gave me my very first publishing credit in April, 1994, and I was hooked. I seemed to have followed writing contests around, being a finalist in such online contests as American Title III, sponsored by Romantic Times BOOKreview Magazine and Dorchester Publishing, and two First Chapters contests, sponsored by Gather.com and Simon & Schuster/Pocket Books.
My imaginary friend was Casper the Friendly Ghost. The little ghoul even had a special place set for him at our dinner table and got blamed for many of my childhood mishaps. I grew up watching Bewitched, I Dream of Jeannie and The Addams Family--my mom looked like Elizabeth Montgomery and I had a special Barbie outfit that looked like Morticia Addams' dress. My favorite books areBewitching by Jill Barnett and A Knight In Shining Armor, by Jude Devereaux, so it should come as no surprise that I like to write tongue-in-cheek lighthearted paranormals.
I love pop culture and manipulating language, so you'll find lots of puns, double entrendre, plays-on-words, alliteration, clichés, and twisting of phrases, as well as several one-liners in my stories that give me a few chuckles. I studied Spanish at Penn State (Go Lions!), lived in Spain, and traveled throughout that beautiful country.
I've always written and still have my journal from fourth grade where, even then, my stories were full of fantastical creatures, whimsy, and magic. I wrote my first romance in 9th grade and still have that story in my memory chest. Even back then I dreamed of being a writer.
Now with kids, a husband, a house, a social life (Go Survivor Girls!), two cocker spaniels named Vixen and Raven, and a kitten named Pagan who won't come near me unless I've got food, I get to live my dream of being a writer!

My 5 Star Review
What an Amazing ending to one breathtakingly beautiful
story. I LOVED every single minute of Jared and Aly. Right from the start A.L.
pulls you in and keeps you turning pages to the very end.
Come To Me Softly picks up right where Come To Me Quietly
ended. So please make sure you read the first book in this series before
reading this one.
A second chance at life…
A second chance at love…
A second chance at love…
Jared did not think he
deserved either one of these until he met Aly. Running from his past, he knows
that until he faces it head on he cannot have a future with Aly without finally
putting the past to rest. When he decides to face it he encounters more than he
bargained for: a dangerous mix of jealousy, lies, and dishonest intentions.
When those intentions threaten Aly, Jared loses all control, giving into the
rage that earned him his bad boy reputation years before. Jared does not believe he deserves to
be happy and have a life with Aly. He thinks he should remain miserable and have
nothing great in his life.
Jared, what is there not to
love about him? NOTHING!!! Jared is so amazing in this story.
“Jared, "I like anything that ends in you
and me.”
The love that Aly and Jared have for each other is so powerful and all
consuming that you just root for them from the first pages of the story. You
wish for their happily ever after no matter what.
“Promise me you won't run when it gets ugly,
Jared. Because life always does, and I can't bear the thought of living without
you in mine."
Aly, I loved how she was with Jared when he came back. I love how she
knew he needed to put his past to rest before having a future with her. I
Absolutely LOVED how she stood right by his side and never faltered from it. She
is is trigger as well as the breath he breathes. He needs her like he has never
needed anyone before.
“I can't live without you, baby . . . can't
sleep without you . . . can't breathe without you."
“Even as damaged as I knew he was, this
gorgeous man was my perfection.”
There is a lot of struggles that Jared must get through before we see
him get his Happily Ever After. We see firsthand what Aly will do to help him.
“I once believed I'd take whatever piece of him
he was willing to give. That was no longer good enough. I wanted it all.”
That is all you get from me. I do not wish to spoil this for anyone. I
will say this… If you have not read this series yet, YOU are totally missing
out on one fantastic Series and you should scoop it up now.

Aleena Moore is content with her life. She has goals and dreams and an easy smile. She also has a secret she holds locked inside.
Jared Holt believes he doesn’t deserve to love or be loved. He destroys everything he touches. Haunted by the mistake that shattered his life, he’s fled from the memory of that pain.
Jared doesn’t know why he’s compelled to return, but finds himself drawn back to the place where it all began. The exact place where it ended. When he runs into his childhood best friend, Aleena’s older brother Christopher, he agrees to share Christopher and Aleena’s apartment while he looks for a place of his own.
Aleena is no longer the little girl Jared remembers from his past and evokes feelings in him he never wanted to feel again. Terrified of destroying her, he fights to keep her away. But her touch is something he can’t resist—the touch that sealed his fate.
Their pasts are intertwined and their futures uncertain. The only truths they know are the secrets they whisper in the night.
A.L. Jackson is the New York Times bestselling author of Take This Regret and Lost to You, as well as other contemporary romance titles, including Pulled, When We Collide, If Forever Comes, and Come to Me Quietly.
She first found a love for writing during her days as a young mother and college student. She filled the journals she carried with short stories and poems used as an emotional outlet for the difficulties and joys she found in day-to-day life.
Years later, she shared a short story she’d been working on with her two closest friends and, with their encouragement, this story became her first full length novel. A.L. now spends her days writing in Southern Arizona where she lives with her husband and three children.

My Review for Mended (Connections #3) by Kim Karr
Mended (Connections #3)
by Kim Karr
MUSIC HAS THE POWER TO HEAL ALL…BUT NOT ALL BROKEN HEARTS CAN BE MENDED.
Always in control, Xander Wilde considered life on the road to be a perfect fit for him. But when disaster strikes on the Wilde Ones’ latest tour, fate intervenes…and a newly single Ivy Taylor, the only girl he has ever loved, steps back into his life.
After moving past her painful breakup with Xander years ago, Ivy was poised to become the next big name in pop music…when suddenly she withdrew from the limelight—the same day she announced her engagement to her controlling agent, Damon Wolf.
Xander knows he should keep his distance. But once they’re on the road, he can’t resist pursuing her for a second chance. Yet a jealous Damon can’t let her go—and he’s keeping dangerous secrets that could destroy them all.
When the three of them come together, everything falls apart. But if Xander and Ivy can hold tight to the bond that connects them, they just might have a chance at reclaiming the powerful love they thought they had lost forever...

My 5 Star Review
I think this one might just be my absolute favorite one so far. So much emotion and the Connection between Xander and Ivy is Incredible...
MUSIC HAS THE POWER TO HEAL ALL…BUT NOT ALL BROKEN HEARTS CAN BE MENDED.
We First met Ivy and Xander ( who is River’s brother) in Connected and Torn. Now it is time for their story. Although I thought Xander was a total ass in the previous books, I knew Kim would redeem him in this one and by God she did for sure. I absolutely LOVED Mended. I can honestly say this is my favorite one thus far in the series.
Ivy and Xander first met and dated in High School, when a tragedy strikes and they were left heartbroken and confused. They both went their separate ways.
She's not just a girl I used to date...she's the only girl I ever really loved. She's also the girl whose heart I broke.
Now 12 years later a chance encounter has given Xander another chance to redeem himself with Ivy. Secrets come to the surface and Ivy must work through what she thought she knew and what she is learning now to be truth. One thing though she is engaged and her future hubby is not the nicest person in the world. When truths are finally revealed will Ivy and Xander be able to move forward and live happily ever after???
I love how Much LOVE shined through between Ivy and Xander. I saw that connection from 12 years ago the second they saw each other and felt it right down to my bones. Kim truly did an amazing job with these two characters.
Xander showed true emotion and I loved every single minute of this story.
We get a lot of twists and turns with this story. There were times my anxiety was out of control because I was dying to know what was going to happen next and I just could not read fast enough. Also when all of a sudden I got another curve ball thrown at me and I was like OMG!!!!!
Ivy had struggles to, after all Xander had broken her heart once before and she was very guarded now. Xander had to work hard to break down that barrier to her heart. These two working together try to let the past stay in the past, but it is not an easy thing to do. Sometimes you just have to work through the past to get to the future.
I loved every single minute of this book. Kim has written one hell of a story that will stay with you for a very long time. I cannot wait to get more of this series
"If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, they're yours."

Although I thought Xander was a total ass in the previous books, I knew Kim would redeem him in this one and by God she did for sure. I absolutely LOVED Mended. I can honestly say this is my favorite one thus far in the series.
Ivy and Xander first met and dated in High School, when a tragedy strikes and they were left heartbroken and confused. They both went their separate ways.
She's not just a girl I used to date...she's the only girl I ever really loved. She's also the girl whose heart I broke.
Now 12 years later a chance encounter has given Xander another chance to redeem himself with Ivy. Secrets come to the surface and Ivy must work through what she thought she knew and what she is learning now to be truth. One thing though she is engaged and her future hubby is not the nicest person in the world. When truths are finally revealed will Ivy and Xander be able to move forward and live happily ever after???
I love how Much LOVE shined through between Ivy and Xander. I saw that connection from 12 years ago the second they saw each other and felt it right down to my bones. Kim truly did an amazing job with these two characters.
Xander showed true emotion and I loved every single minute of this story.
We get a lot of twists and turns with this story. There were times my anxiety was out of control because I was dying to know what was going to happen next and I just could not read fast enough. Also when all of a sudden I got another curve ball thrown at me and I was like OMG!!!!!
Ivy had struggles to, after all Xander had broken her heart once before and she was very guarded now. Xander had to work hard to break down that barrier to her heart. These two working together try to let the past stay in the past, but it is not an easy thing to do. Sometimes you just have to work through the past to get to the future.
I loved every single minute of this book. Kim has written one hell of a story that will stay with you for a very long time. I cannot wait to get more of this series
"If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, they're yours."
