Forced together, the two battle to cope with their budding attraction as they struggle to navigate the pitfalls of the Los Angeles music industry.
Working as a team allows them to grow closer, however, outside forces keep them from fully committing to the partnership. And Austin’s carousing, along with his revolving door of one-night stands, doesn’t help Sydney trust his dedication.
The opportunity of a lifetime hangs in the balance.
Will they finally sync to become stars? Or will Austin’s actions make them just a one-hit wonder?

My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars
It is truly a remarkable book with a story that will make even the non-believers of true love believe! I loved that this story was about an island that worships a mermaid after a family legend. It is said that a man who is searching for true love and asks the mermaid with an open heart , she will grant there forever love. The Flynn family is a down to earth family that has family drama like a normal family. Mona, which is Rowan’s mother, was my favorite character since she is bossy and dragged everyone to do what she said. Loved that Ash was a character that only cared about work and money. He was the perfect character to see develop to a man who is truly kind, loving, and determined to be part of a family again. Great book, perfect for the beach.

Every instinct told Police Chief Clancy Flynn that his island’s claim to fame was nothing but a silly tourist attraction. But now and then, he couldn’t help but wonder if his lifetime of bad romances—starting with the pretty tourist who broke his twelve-year-old heart—could be traced back to a childhood prank involving that very statue….
Then one day the pretty tourist comes barreling back into Bayberry—all grown-up and on the run with her niece. Though Evelyn McGuinness is wanted for kidnapping, she tries to persuade Clancy that there’s more to the story. Now the by-the-book police chief must make the toughest decision of his life: to take Evelyn into custody—or into his arms….
My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars
An amazing continuation to Bayberry Island. I loved that this book was very thrilling and had my heart jumping, thinking that Evelyn was going to get caught after kidnapping her niece. The mermaid was able to get two love birds back together after 18 years. Love truly moves mountains. Clancy sheltered Evelyn and Christina while knowing that if he got caught, he was getting arrested, too. I was happy that the story ended in a happily ever after.

A chance encounter would ignite a spark. Fate would fan the flame.
Dani doesn’t believe in love. She knows that love only leads to heartache, like the murder of her mother when she was just fourteen. Besides, dating is tough when your dad is one of the most powerful crime bosses on the West Coast.
So instead of relationships, Dani believes in one night stands. But when a casual fling goes frighteningly wrong, she runs home to the only person she knows will protect her – her father.
She doesn’t make it. Dani’s stranded on the side of the road with no one to help her. Except Blaze.
Blaze has been through hell and back. Raised by his junkie mom, the Inferno MC is the only real family he’s ever known. As their jaded Vice President, he’d do anything to protect the club.
When fate throws them together, sparks fly.Their attraction is undeniable, but can this jaded and broken pair find happiness? Or will Dani’s family secrets tear everything down, including the MC?
My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Won this book from GoodReads. This book was sexy hot. Didn’t expect the characters to speak so freely. Didn’t know what to expect when I started to listen to this audio book. I was frustrated at the beginning with Dani and her college boyfriend, who harmed her even though she asked him to stop. I was furious that he went ahead with his action. Blaze is a sexy hot biker who has lived a tough life. He encountered Dani because she almost drove him off the road. He was furious and was going to show her a lesson until he found her crying and vomitting at the side of the road, and her car ran out of gas. At first sight, both thought to themselves that the other was sexy hot and sparks exploded, and tension surged. They were meant to be with each other. Dani was able to tame the tough biker. Unfortunately, Dani’s father wasn’t who she thought he was. He would have done anything at any cost to get money. She finds out that he killed her mother, which I couldn’t believe the evil in this man. Was happy that she found out the truth and was able to vengeance her mothers death and save what was left of her family. I’m glad that they both got married on their own terms and not let others decide what type of wedding they should have.
I have lost the man I once was, letting guilt and heartache define who I am. Darkness has controlled me, and one woman has seen what no one else has seen in me, what I do not wish to exist. My hunger for her has driven me to the edge of sanity, but no more. She’s about to find out that the Master has returned.
My Review: Rated 5 out 5 stars
Once again, Lisa writes another amazing book. Left my heart broken, trying to find out if Rebecca is still alive or not. Crystal is such a sweet girl who is trying her best not to fall for Mark, the sexual controller. Loved that she stands up for herself and doesn’t let him get his way. I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next in their relationship. Mark is torn apart from not knowing what happened to Rebecca. He ended up becoming her Master but she was truly in love with him and wished that he felt the same way about her.He is driven with guilt of never telling her he truly loved her since there relationship was not ordinary. As I read, you could feel the disappointment in not protecting Rebecca, anger, guilt, and hatred, and he is looking for revenge from any angle. He has timed out from being the master but is trying to get Crystal to turn to his kinky ways. Felt the sexual tension between them. A touch sends tremors through their body. They are meant for each other, but both try to put a barrier between them. When Lisa describe the feelings they got when they saw each other and just a slight touch sent feelings that neither felt could be possible. You won’t want to miss this book.

My Review: Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Won this book from GoodReads. This was such a hot and sexy book. There was a hot stud who was a veterinarian and motorcycle teacher. But Chloe’s secret was a story from the past that most people would never re-tell because of the effect it had on the person. I loved the book because it brought joy, love, butterflies in your stomach, and, in contrast, tears, sadness , anger, and sympathy. I liked the cover of this book bringing love and motorcycles together. It was a very short story but really kept my attention and wanted to continue reading to see what was going to happen next. I recommend this romantic surprise story.

An orphaned boy runs away, knowing he is better off in solitude than in the company of those with whom he does not belong. However, Little Red is not meant to be alone, his crimson halo a calling card to those far and wide. And so off he goes… into the woods to attract the eye of a wicked wolf.

Astoundingly, the woods are not a frightening place, and Little Red flourishes among the weeds and thorns until he isn’t so little anymore. And the wicked wolf he’s gone to catch? Well, this forest has more than one, and perversely, their snapping teeth and sharp claws make him feel at home. Years after walking into the woods, Red is expected to walk back out, carrying with him the head of the most dangerous predator.
But those who sent him into the forest failed to take into account that not everyone fears the bite of the big bad wolf. Some crave it…
