THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIG MISTAKE (MIAMI VICES #4)

One grumpy workaholic on a mission to get the ultimate promotion. One ray of sunshine tour guide whose goal is a good time. He needs to unload the beachfront property her family runs to close a big deal, but never expects to fall hard for the fiery beauty who stands in his way.

Ethan Vice: One deal. One simple deal to flip a few dozen properties to another hotel chain, and I’ll be the CEO of Vice Hospitality, the ultimate goal on my list of business accomplishments. All I have to do is swing by some rundown hotel in the Keys I didn’t even know we owned, and get the guy who runs it to sign some paperwork. But the minute I arrive in Sandpiper Key, I’m blinded by sunshine and beauty and a woman unlike any I’ve ever met. Maria-Elena Martinez is wild and gorgeous and insists that life can be fun, a philosophy I’ve never understood. But before I know it, my heart is melting like an ice cream cone on the beach. What starts out as a playful interlude turns into a serious romance and suddenly I’ve just done the one thing I never do…I’ve screwed up and might not get the deal…or the girl.

Emmy Martinez: The minute Ethan Vice shows up on an official visit to La Magia, I am determined to show our “invisible investor” that the Martinez family has created true magic at our small but unique resort. But I didn’t expect the island tour to include hot kisses and long embraces from a billionaire who’s having fun for the first time. He may be the most serious man I’ve ever crushed on, but he’s also sexy, complicated, and is working his way into my family…and my heart. When our fling begins to feel like something far more permanent, I dare to believe that Ethan could be the magic I’ve been missing in life. That is, until I find out he’s made a terrible mistake that will ruin my family and break my heart. There’s only one way he can rescue our romance…but can this billionaire sacrifice success for the magic of true love?

Miami Vices #4

Liza's Review:

The Billionaire's Big Mistake is the newest book in the Miami Vices series from Breezie Bennett. Readers finally get oldest brother Ethan Vice's book. I have to say that Ethan has always seemed a bit uptight and a total workaholic, so I was wondering what type of woman would finally make him want to more in life than work. Emmy Martinez was like a ray of sunshine from the moment she appeared on the page, and was so opposite to Ethan, I couldn't wait to see what happened between them.

I loved how much Ethan changed over the course of this story. I honestly wasn't sure he really had it in him. He has always been so focused on work, and was there to facilitate the sell of the resort to ensure his position of CEO of Vice Hospitality upon his father's retirement. His arrival at Sandpiper Key, and specifically La Magia set his life on a detour he never expected. Emmy Martinez and her family were such a breathe of fresh air to Ethan's world. He went from over serious workaholic to a man who enjoyed all aspects of life. Emmy made me smile so much in this story. She has such a Pollyanna outlook on life and I really loved her for making no apoligies and being true to herself at all times.

I loved that Ethan and Emmy were so attracted to one antoher from pretty much the moment they met, yet they waited until it was the right time for them to be together. They had such amazing chemistry and it grew stronger the more time they spent together. Part of the story I loved best of all was when Ethan's siblings and significant others came to visit. It was so fun to see everyone's reactions to the changes in Ethan, and to see how happy he and Emmy were together. I love how much support Ethan got from his siblings when he told them his plans for La Magia, and how it could change the future of their company.

I've loved each book in the Miami Vices series of books, and loved how Breezie Bennett wrapped up the series so perfectly. She once again gave her readers a funny, sexy story that will pull at all your heartstrings. I can't wait to see where Ms. Bennett takes her readers in future books.

THE DRAGONS DAUGHTER AND THE WINTER MAGE

 The Dragon's Daughter and the Winter Mage

Invisible Loner

Gendra—partblood daughter of an elite mossback soldier and the only shapeshifter to achieve the coveted dragon form—is anything but interesting. She’s actually plain and awkward and … invisible. Every guy she meets either looks right through her or—worse—thinks of her as just a friend. Fortunately Gen is far too practical to wallow in self pity. Much.

A Search for True Love

But as Gen accompanies her oldest friends on a quest for Her Majesty High Queen Ursula, she can’t help feeling bitter about her lonely fate as, two by two, they pair off with each other. As usual, everyone but odd-woman-out Gen seems to be finding the happiness in true love that has always eluded her. And Gen’s pathetic attempts to come out of her shell have only met with social disaster.

Dragon’s Daughter

Still, with magic rifts plaguing the Thirteen Kingdoms and a strange intelligence stalking them from an alter-realm, Gen has plenty to deal with—especially when she’s cut off from the group, isolated and facing a lethal danger. It just figures that Gen is on her own, once again. But with no one coming to save her, she has only herself to rely upon.

And, perhaps, the help of a mysterious, stranded magician…

About the Book

I’m not that kind of girl. The kind who falls for her wealthy, inexplicably attractive, and totally unavailable male friend. 

 

Sitting on the sidelines, I’ve watched women throw themselves at the sexy British bachelor Sterling Quinn, and vowed I would never be one of them. 

 

But now the tables are turned. 

 

Sterling needs to get married, something about an old-fashioned inheritance requirement. And suddenly I’m not just working PR . . . I’m thrust into the role of matchmaker. 

 

The more time I spend with the gorgeous and flirtatious Sterling, the more the lines between business and pleasure start to blur.

 

But is this a risk worth taking? 

 

Deciding what I want most—my flawless professional reputation, or a second chance at love with a man who delivers everything I didn’t know I needed—is going to be my biggest gamble yet.

Hamptons Heartbreak 

A New York City Romance Series Book #4

Contemporary Romance

Review Copy Provided by the Publisher 

Nikki’s Review:

I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK. Is it enough to just tell you to buy it and read it? Because you should absolutely do that. 

The characters in this book are so likeable. From the beginning I was invested in their story. Lance and Vivienne instantly burned up the pages from their first meeting, whether it was during their witty banter ( a whole conversation about a man’s lack of aim while peeing  ), or sultry their romps in the pool. Damn, those pool scenes are fucking delicious. 

This is not a particularly angsty book, but there is a ton of emotion. Lance and Vivienne have tough exteriors, but there’s a lot of baggage and vulnerability under their armour. I love when the walls fall down and all the feels come spilling out. 

Tara Leigh never fails to deliver a solid story that is character driven and ridiculously sexy. Hamptons Heartbreak is my favourite book in this series…so far! I can’t wait for the next installment! Have I mentioned that you should just buy the book because it’s amaze balls? 

Rating: 5 Stars (A+)

I’m only too willing to play the part.

NIXIE

Nash is my fiancé, but he isn’t mine.

Our vow to love, honor, and cherish each other,

You are cordially invited to the biggest wedding Wall Street’s ever seen...

Nikki’s Review:

Winner winner chicken dinner! I am so in love with this series. I liked that this book was full of angsty emotions. I love feeling all the things. I love being pulled in different directions and having my heart and mind all jumbled at times. This book delivered all that and more!

Nixie, the heroine, got on my nerves at times. I like a strong heroine, but I also like when they’re vulnerable enough to lean on someone for help when it’s needed. She was so stubborn when it came to Nash helping her. That being said, I could kinda understand where she was coming from. After losing her parents she had to grow up rather quickly. Throw in a gambling addict jerkwad of a boyfriend who is venturing into abusive, and I can see why she didn’t blindly trust anyone. 

Nash is an amazing character. He’s loyal, charming, successful, and has a big heart. But at the same time he’s full of that broodiness I love in a hero. 

Like the previous book in this series, there is a lot of push and pull between the characters. It takes them time to understand their developing feelings. Well, they understand the crazy lust, but their pesky hearts are causing them some issues. These two were so well developed by Ms. Leigh. Their feelings, whether they were happy, sad, mad, or glad, were palpable. All of those feelings were front and centre, and I loved experiencing them. 

This book, like the previous books in the series, is very character driven. As a reader I really cared about them. I hurt for them, and I was cheering them on the whole way. When an author makes me fall hard for their characters I know the book is special. I can hardly wait for the next installment!
