Brooklyn James should know better.
Born into Hollywood royalty, the brooding prince has a reputation as being a player. A manwhore. A womanizer.
Adoring fans are his thing.
His best friend’s little sister is not.
Even thinking about her the way he is isn’t cool.
Not cool at all.
And yet every time she pouts those sexy lips at him, she turns him inside out. Makes him harder than he’s ever been. Drives him to the brink of insanity.
Amelia Waters has always idolized her big brother, and the last thing she wants to do is disappoint him.
Falling for her brother's ex-roommate is off-limits.
She knows this, but she can’t help herself.
The way Brooklyn looks at her with those smoldering blue eyes makes her wet in an instant. Turns her into a shivering, shaking mess of sexual frustration. And soon the idea of spreading her legs for him is the only thing she can think about.
She wants him.
He wants her.
When they finally decide to give in to their insane attraction, they agree it will remain between them. That their illicit affair will be short-term. No strings. No baggage. No messy ending.
But when the first night of mind-blowing sex leads to another, and another still, how long can the endless hookups go on before Amelia’s brother finds out? Or worse yet, before feelings develop?
Brooklyn and Amelia know they need to walk away from each other before either of those things happens.
The problem is doing it.
Talk about a mess.
Hollywood Prince is a sexy, standalone, contemporary romance about a bad boy and the off-limits girl who steals his heart.
Amelia Waters is looking for her Mr. Right, Prince Charming, and the whole fairy tale. She's had a rough time due to loss and family issues. She has always been the good girl who likes to please her father. She has been working in New York at the family business despite wanting to be a photographer.
On the night she meets Landon Reese, a man who could just be her Mr. Right since he checks all of her boxes, she gets shocking news. And that sends her running off to Laguna Beach to confront her older brother, Cam, to find out the truth. She is tired of being treated like a Princess and wants to be an adult. But Landon is intrigued enough not to fade off into the background.
Brooklyn James rides in on a motorcycle to save a drunk damsel in distress camped out on her brother's doorstep. He is Cam's neighbor and best friend so feels responsible for her since her brother is out of town. Her rescuer is known as the pantydropper or manwhore. He's a hot, brooding, charismatic ex reality T.V. star, current lifeguard, and struggling screen writer. His parents are Hollywood royalty and he has lived in their shadows. He had his T.V. fame, but now is frustrated that his screenwriting is not progressing as he wants. He does not do relationships and is not looking for love.
But Amelia and Brooklyn spark despite it being a bad idea--the best friend's emotional little sister, the time limit, the distance, the different in their relationship views. But Amelia is ready to explore her wild and adventurous side, and he is just who she wants to get dirty with. She's a good girl causing trouble for the bad boy who is caught between right and wrong. He tries to keep her at arm's length. They flirt, fuss, friendzone, but get all mixed up in sexual tension until they can't resist. But they develop rules and time limits to try to be smart about it--sex only, no mess, no sharing, it ends when she leaves, total secret. Uncomplicated, right?
Their chemistry is sizzling and sex scenes are hot! They become quickly addicted to each other, but there are challenges, confusion, fears, and mixed and hidden feelings. Just when one thinks about taking a risk, something happens to set them back. There are no easy answers when both are afraid of what happens when it ends and equally as afraid of what would happen if they continued.
They both have some decisions to make about their lives and future. They were both holding themselves back in some ways. If nothing else, Amelia provided some inspiration to Brooklyn. Amelia has two princes in her life, one could be Mr. Right, one could be Mr. Oh-So-Wrong...but is it all what it seems? And ultimately the choice might not even be up to her, and she could end up alone like she started.
Kissing frogs and determining who are toads and who are princes is not an exact science. Life is complicated, messy, and surprising. There are no easy answers and perfect choices. But Amelia has to figure out where she wants to be and hope that ultimately she finds her happily-ever-after.
We get to spend more time with Cam and Makayla (No Pants Required), Keen and Maggie (Bedwrecker). I love the fact that they made their own pseudo family/friend group. We also met Amelia's best friend, Carter (who I adored) and Brooklyn's friend, Chase. I am interested in more of Chase's story.
This was a slow-burn, off-limits, friends to lovers story. It was also a personal growth journey for the younger two people in this group. It was funny, sweet, smoking hot, and romantic. It brought on some surprises and definite swoons.
I was gifted a copy in exchange for an honest review.
Each book can be read as a stand-alone but the characters are friends or related
Kim's 4.5 star review
I, Makayla Alexander, am on a mission to reinvent myself. So when a super hot guy boards the plane and flashes his rock hard abs, I pay attention. When he sits next to me and offers me his nuts, I can’t resist. But when I choke on them and he tells me I need to work on my gag reflex, I realize I might be in over my head.
Before I know it we’re in the lavatory and attempting to join the Mile High Club. Let me just say this...anyone who tells you it’s easy to get it on at 37,000 feet isn’t telling you the truth. After the flight attendant busts us for getting frisky in the air, the only thing that can ease my total and complete mortification is the simple fact that I am never going to see him again.
Hours later, I can’t help but wonder if fate will ever allow me to become a new version of myself.
Because Fate, she’s a fickle bitch.
Case in point...my seatmate is my new next-door neighbor.
Even with the whole fate thing we have going on, we are so not meant to be together. He’s all cool and sexy in that make love not war kind of way. Guys like him are dangerous. With that bring-you-to-your-knees body, that handsome-as-hell face, and that dirty, dirty mouth, I guarantee one glance from him wets every girl's bikini bottoms.
And then there’s me…the quirky girl looking to find herself in California. All I want to do is learn to let loose. Say words like peace and groovy. Bury my toes in the sand. Who knows, maybe even have sex on the beach.
Unable to get him out of my head, I entertain the thought of being more than just friends. I know the idea is absurd. And yet, I go with it. You see Camden Waters gets me. Really gets me. Like no other guy has before.
On this 7-mile stretch of paradise, I decide to keep things simple and just have fun...that is until fate decides to screw with me, again.
Can two people hell-bent on finding themselves realize the search should have ended the day they met? Find out in No Pants Required—a sexy, funny, romantic stand-alone, that will have you hurrying to grab your bathing suit and rushing to the beach to check out every lifeguard on duty.

Bedwrecker
Kim's 4.5+ star review
Every girl has had a broken heart.
Every girl knows love hurts.
Every girl has a story.
This is mine…
My name is Maggie May and I met him under a haze of purple lights. As cliché as it sounds he was tall, dark, and handsome as hell, and I had fireworks in my eyes…literally.
It was New Year’s Eve and beneath the magic of all that glitters and shines, I fell for him and his wicked ways. The way he moved, the way he touched me, the way he brought me to orgasm over and over.
You should know that I don’t believe in love. Fairytales and happily-ever-afters are never anything I’ve dreamed of…until him.
Something changed the moment our eyes met. It wasn’t insta-lust or insta-love, it was simply him and me, and the dance floor at our feet.
The problem is our story ended three days after it started.
But now he’s back.
And he says he’s sorry.
Can I believe him?
Do I want to believe him?
He calls me his bedwrecker…but what if he wrecks me?
