Hello Lovely Readers!
First and foremost, thank you for visiting my blog. This is my outlet and I absolutely love sharing some amazing book recommendations to you!
Secondly, I realize that in the last month I have read a CRAP ton of books, but I have only shared with you the NEW books that I have read. I am a creature of habit and have some favorites that I love to re-read and those books NEED to be shared with you because they are freaking amazing!
So without further ado, I present to you some of my favorite authors and books that I re-read in the month of January.
These are all currently on Kindle Unlimited, because I am pretty cheap, so I hope that you will enjoy them too! <3

The Boston Underworld Series consists of six full-length standalones that can be read in any order.
Reading Order:
Crow, Reaper, Ghost, Saint, Thief, Conor
Book 1: Crow
He’s a killer. A mobster.
The last man on earth I’d ever want to be with. I won’t lose my head just because he’s hot, Irish, and has a wicked accent to boot.
He’s one of the only leads in my best friend’s disappearance, and I don’t trust him.
So I’ve got a few rules in mind when it comes to dealing with Lachlan Crow.
1.Keep a clear head and don’t get distracted.
2.Do what’s necessary and never forget why you’re there.
3.Never, and I mean never, fall for him.
Fourth and final rule?
Throw out the book altogether. Because the rules don’t apply when it comes to the Irish mafia.
It was only supposed to be temporary, but now Lachlan thinks he owns me. He says he’s not letting me go.
And I believe him.
***
Lachlan
I don’t know who she is. I don’t know why she’s here.
But if it’s my attention she wants, she has it.
The Russians want her dead, and now it’s up to me to look out for her. This girl is trouble. A distraction I can’t afford.
So why have I already decided she’s mine?
I’ve claimed her and there’s no going back now.

And if it ever comes out, I have no doubt in my mind…
He won’t have a problem killing me too.

I’ll keep her safe. I’ll slaughter anyone who tries to hurt her.
The only thing I can’t do… is protect her from myself.

The day after I proposed.

I wanted forever.
She didn’t.
It’s been ten years.
I tried to move on, tried to get married, had that same wedding crashed by my now best friend who says the only way for me to stop pissing off the universe, is to gain closure with the one woman I can’t forget.
So I do it.
I embark on a journey down memory lane that not only lands me in prison but on the receiving end of a fist fight in front of the entire town, this naturally happens after drunken pool sex, climbing the same girl’s window, and getting threatened at gunpoint by her father.

I just hope I survive the message.
And then, I hope I survive her—again.

Lex hates Gabi. Gabi hates Lex.
But, hey, at least the hate is mutual, right?
All Lex has to do is survive the next few weeks training Gabi in all the ways of Wingmen Inc. and then he can be done with her. But now that they have to work together, the sexual tension and fighting is off the charts.

Book 1: The Studying Hours
CRUDE. ARROGANT. AHOLE.
Sebastian ‘Oz’ Osborne is a walking, talking cliche.
One of the university’s most celebrated student athlete—and possibly the biggest douchebag–Oz has a filthy mouth, a fantastic body, and doesn’t give a sh*t about what you, or anyone else thinks. He loves to have fun,but loves winning even more.
SMART. CLASSY. CONSERVATIVE.
Jameson Clarke may be the university’s most diligent student—but she is no prude. She spends most of her time in the hallowed halls of the library, not because she’s a brainiac–but because she’s not. School doesn’t come easy, and she’s determined to finish the year without a D.
D stands for Douchebag.
Oz is a champion wrestler; one of the best. And he didn’t fight his way to the top by backing down from a challenge.
He wants to be friends with Jameson.
He wants to spend time with her.
He wants to drive her crazy.
He wants…
Her.
EVERY DOUCHBAG HAS HIS WEAKNESS.

Dating? Being part of a couple? Nope. Not for him.
He’s never given any thought to what he wants in a girlfriend, because he’s never had any intention of having one.
Shit, he barely has a relationship with his family, and they’re related; his own friends don’t even like him.
So why does he keep thinking about Violet DeLuca?
Sweet, quiet Violet—his opposite in every sense of the word.
The light to his dark, even her damn name sounds like rays of sunshine and happiness and shit.
And that pisses him off, too.

Book 3: The Learning Hours
He’s not a douchebag;
but that doesn’t stop his friends from turning him into one.
MY FRIENDS WANT ME TO GET LAID.
So much so that they plastered my ugly mug all over campus, in bold printed letters:
“Are you the lucky lady who’s going to break our roommate’s cherry
Him: socially awkward man with average-sized penis looking for willing sexual partner. You: must have a pulse. He will reciprakate with oral. Text him at: 555-254-5551
The morons can’t even spell. And the texts I’ve been receiving are what wet dreams are made of. But I’m not like these douchebags, no matter how hard they try to turn me into one.
THIS ISN’T THE KIND OF ATTENTION I WANT.
One text stands out from hundreds. One number I can’t bring myself to block. She seems different. Hotter, even in black and white.
However, after seeing her in person, I know she’s not the girl for me. But my friends won’t let up—they just don’t get it. Douchebags or not, there’s one thing they’ll never understand:
GIRLS DON’T WANT ME.
Especially her.
