My Only Regret
by Rhonda James
Rhyann Michaels has spent most of her life doing only what was expected. Working for a tyrant boss at a job she secretly despises, dating losers but always hoping for more. Just once, she would like to break out of the mold that has been cast. She often dreamed of what it would be like to live life with wild abandon and do the unexpected. How would it feel to stop looking for Mr. Right, and say yes to Mr. Wrong?
One night, that’s all it was supposed to be. He’d told her all the things he wanted to do to her body, even promised to make her forget her own name, what he failed to tell her was how to go about forgetting him.
Jesse Montgomery has spent most of his life on stage. He was cocky, confident, and usually got what he wanted. His band has worked hard and their music career was finally taking off. Beautiful women surrounded him, and there was always one waiting backstage hoping for the chance to share his bed. He liked variety; one woman would never be enough for him, that was, until he met her.
One night, that’s all he wanted. One night of passion with the most gorgeous woman he had ever laid eyes on. He made promises, and took her back to his place and happily fulfilled them, but when he woke the next morning she was gone. The only thing left behind was a note. Their night of passion may have made her forget her own name, but it had been burned in his memory forever.
He’d counted on giving her a good time, what he hadn’t counted on was giving her his heart.
I give this book a rating of 5+ heated stars.
Hot Rocker Romance, Ugly cry,
“When those beautiful blue eyes close, they’re begging me to take you away and make love to you all night.”
I’m in love with Jesse Montgomery. This book has everything that you would want in a great read.And the sex is HOT.

Two years later, Ryhann finds herself jobless and on the doorstep of a Rock Star looking for an assistant. She can’t believe her eyes when he answers the door. Can Ryhann keep her feelings at bay or will she reconnect with Jesse? Can she help him change?
“Don’t you dare fu$$ing leave me again. I need you. I love you. I can’t live my life without you.”
This was my first book from Rhonda James and I loved it. This is definately a 1-click buy and a series to be reading. There were so many elements to this story that kept you engaged. There are several twists and shockers. And I loved when Ryhann would stand up for herself with the groupies.

5 Stars
You meet Merek and Challis in the first book of the “Silver Star Ranch Novel” series by H J Bellus.
Merek is well know in the rodeo community and Challis has won titles for her barrel racing.
They are both working hard to keep their family farms.
Merek spots Challis in a local bar one night and has an instant attraction to her and does his best to get her attention. I absolutely love the feistiness that Challis has.There seems to be a real love hate kind of thing going on.
Will they both be able to help save their family farms? Will Merek finally get Challis to come around?
There are so many elements to this great read. You will laugh, cry and want to shake Challis a few times. You are left with a cliffhanger.
This is a genre that I haven’t read yet. I really enjoyed the change. I loved the sassiness of the characters and the storyline is great. This is my first time reading H J Bellus, I will definitely be following this series.
