This anthology drew me in with the blurb. The best story in this collection is by Kate Meader. I was so invested in these best friends taking it to the next level that I didn’t want their story to end.
The other contributions were ok. Some I couldn’t get through and others were more heat than substance. Anthologies often introduce me to new authors to add to my TBR but unfortunately, not this time.
*This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*
Ready for Trouble by Tina Donahue
Jake and Krista were a fun couple to read about. There were many things in this book I liked but the biggest being that Jake never made Krista feel lesser than for her career choice. He respected her and her career goals. To me, that’s sexy!! Then their banter and sexy times on top of that. This was one hot book.
Always Ready by Kimberly Nee
I really liked this story. It has my favorite troupe in it – older brothers’ best friend. I have to say I really enjoyed this book because the author didn’t go the normal route with the whole ‘the brother is going to punch the best friend for liking the little sister route” that most book do in this genre. Steve and Lauren have been circling each other for awhile and they come together to honor Lauren’s brother and secrets and feeling get told and they realize the best thing for both of them is each other.
The Navy Seal’s Secret Baby by Kat Baxter
This was a great story!! I’m not usually one for surprise baby stories but this one was different. They didn’t wait long for Kevin to find out. It wasn’t this long drawn out surprise. I liked both characters and the fact that they were both trying to do right by their child but also each other. I loved how amazing Jane was as a single mother with always putting her daughter first but also yearning to want to be someone’s first choice.
Call Me Crazy by Rebecca Royce
“Have a thing for law enforcement, faith?” Holy buckets!! It seems like she does and so do I. Wyatt is a good man who even though he has had a tough life, wants to make his childhood hometown safe and also protect the woman who was so close, but he couldn’t touch in high school even if it’s from little green men.
Two for the Road by Bisou deVie
A city girl stuck in Canada. You already know this is going to be a good book. Ion doesn’t quiet know what to make of Jill when he first meets her. He is attracted to her but yet can’t help but eye roll at her knowledge of outdoor animals and improper shoe attire. However their banter turns to attraction and they find themselves having to spend some time together which brings on the sexy times. While I know it was the driving force behind the book, I would have wanted to throat punch that Decker kid.

I really liked this book. I like the thought of two individuals who were interested in each other but yet had to walk away for some reason only to meet up again. I liked the character of Jenny. She is someone who keeps bucking tradition in her family to pave her own path. Mack was told her wasn’t good enough for Jenny years ago but know he is back and ready to claim her as his own. I liked the alphaness of Mack. He knew what he wanted and was willing to fight for it.
Precious Cargo by Nicole Morgan
I have very mixed feeling about this book. I liked the premise of it, and if it was longer I think I would have really enjoyed it. There were two parts that threw me off. The first one had to do with their first time together. He had just had a really difficult conversation with Alena and she was emotionally spent. Then all of a sudden he is starting sexy times with her. Granted its only her pleasure and she wasn’t exactly resisting but for some reason it just felt wrong to me. My other issue is that the story just ends. There really isn’t an ending. It is a sort of happy for now but yet not really. The action is just starting to pick up and then it just ends. This is where i think if it was longer it would have been amazing.
Coming in Hot by Kate Meader

Tyler however has been in love with Evie since the first day he met her but because of him being a little shy she friend zoned him right away. One stormy night changes everything for them. The ending of this book made my heart happy!!
Along Came a Spider by Delilah Devlin
Spider was just trying to figure how why some people find fishing to be relaxing. However a crazy hook and some tin cans change the course of his life. Jessie is a woman in a bad situation but luckily a Navy Seal who sucks at downtime was nearby to help out. Reading about these two falling in love while dodging bad guys and jealous ex’s was fun to read.
