Sweet Life (Sugar Rush #5) by Nina Lane @NinaLaneAuthor @InkSlingerPR

What a tasty holiday treat that can be savored any time of the year! Sweet Life, the fifth installment in one of my most beloved series by Nina Lane, has become my new favorite! I am just absolutely smitten, head over heels in love with Warren and Julia's romance. Once again, I found myself lost in Lane's enchanting world as my emotions ebbed and flowed with those of her characters, feeling all their love, passion, heartaches and joys. And this time, a refreshing change of pace as well with the journey of a more mature couple. With age comes experience and believe me, this duo may be in their 50's, but the connection they shared was off-the-charts ~ setting my kindle ablaze with their intense sexual chemistry. A beautifully written, heartwarming story of pursuing second chances, the love of family, lifelong friendships, of overcoming past regrets and the courage to face and take on challenges. Following the series, we saw glimpses of Warren and Julia in each of the Sugar Rush novels. Their story could be considered a standalone, but I do suggest diving into at least the first three books to appreciate this couple's history and their dynamic relationship fully. Their connection runs deep as for thirteen years, Julia Bennett effortlessly stepped into the role as matriarch of the Stone Clan when her older sister, Rebecca, suddenly and tragically passed away.  She was the glue that held the family together through the worst of times and right along with Warren, Julia helped raise the Stone children. They are not only in-laws but each other's support system and the closest of confidants. Their relationship, though unconventional due to the circumstances, was painted tastefully, respectfully by the author. The love they shared blossomed organically, weaving the past into the story line which served to strengthen their bonds of love. This couple delightfully surprised me. Julia on the surface played the role of the sharp-tongued, stubborn, tough as nails woman who's always composed and always in control. Seeing her past and the impulsive girl that embraced a wild-child free spirit, all the secrets she carried, the love kept hidden for years and her vulnerable side, shed new light on Julia's persona. Peeling back her layers, she bloomed right before my very eyes. I loved the duality of her character ~ a fiery woman who wore a stern mask as armor for all the world to see while guarding her gentle and fragile heart underneath. I adored Julia for her insecurities and fears as well as her icy, rigid demeanor. She was a tigress, a woman who loved her family and Warren so fiercely, willingly sacrificed her own heart to protect them. Warren Stone melted me. Seriously, this charismatic corporate mogul and father of seven had major swagger. He quickly became one of my favorite characters penned by this author. Beneath his custom-tailored designer suits adorned with cutesy candy themed ties, beat the heart of a ravenously sexy man so wildly passionate, I was swooning my way through page after page practically losing my mind. I loved him and his undying determination to claim Julia, despite her hesitations and reservations. Warren was the perfect hero ~ a man who faced challenges head-on, fought for what he wanted, and never gave up. And in the bedroom ~ Papa Stone liked his control. In a word, Warren was scrumptious.   Written in dual points of view, with occasional flashbacks to the past that explained this couple's long history, I truly enjoyed Warren and Julia's journey. If you are looking for a read that will capture your heart and touch your soul, I highly recommend Sweet Life and this entire series!! Thank you, Nina, for another great romance.   iBooks:  http://apple.co/2l0u6Hq Amazon link: http://a.co/5i0qFap Meet the hot men of the Sugar Rush Candy Company...      I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this publication.

Sweet Surrender by Nina Lane @NinaLaneAuthor

5 Sugary Sweet Stars I’ll never get my fill of Nina Lane’s eloquent writing style and her swoon-worthy heroes totally own me. Whether they are a loving professor, a badass biker, or the rulers of a candy empire, these perfectly flawed and devastatingly sexy men are forever branded within my heart. My latest obsession…Tyler Stone, the wickedly sensual black sheep of his family. Tyler and Kate’s journey to true love told in Sweet Surrender was yet another memorable romantic tale brimming with such beauty, I was easily lost within the pages of the fantastical world Lane created. I simply adored Tyler and the way his character developed. On the surface, he was the quintessential spoiled trust-fund guy whose priorities were women and parties. But as the story progressed, he revealed there was so much more than to his playboy persona. Misunderstood and overshadowed by his successful siblings, Tyler divorced himself from the family business, and lived a carefree lifestyle. It all came to a crashing halt when one bad decision forced Tyler to become accountable and atone for his mistakes by working at Sugar Rush’s corporate library. Clueless on how to get the job done, he used his overly sexy charms (that I instantly fell for) to finagle a deal with the very reserved, prim and proper Kate Darling, the company’s executive assistant. In exchange for helping Tyler, Kate will get some much-needed lessons on how to become more alluring. Kate was a likeable, strong willed heroine who lacked confidence when it came to dating. She was bright, paid attention to details, focused on her career, but deep down she saw herself as nothing more than practical and undesirable. However under Tyler’s tutelage, Kate found herself and blossomed into a self-assured woman. In Tyler’s eyes, she was an attractive little minx from the moment they first met. She just needed his passion to help guide her to a more comfortable place sexually. And the incredibly sexy, dirty-talking Tyler was all too willing to show her the way with all his scorching hot lessons. Kate was a positive force and the perfect match for sweet Tyler. She whole-heartedly believed he was more than just a simple playboy. Under Kate’s loving care Tyler discovered his own self-worth. She grounded him, gave him purpose while feeding him reasons to shed his wild ways. I loved his transformation. Gone was the Lothario and in his place was the tender-loving, responsible Tyler Stone - a man deserving of Kate’s affections and a true hero I fell in love with. Tyler and Kate have become my favorite couple within this series. Their instant connection was powerful and I savored every moment of their fiery sexual chemistry. Sweet Surrender is the perfect choice for when your in the mood for a truly feel good, heartwarming and flirty romance. Thank you, Nina for another amazing reading experience.

ALWAYS (Spiral of Bliss #5) by Nina Lane @NinaLaneAuthor

Perfection. Nina Lane penned an exquisite ending to her heartfelt romantic series. Professor Dean West, I fell in love with you all over again. I was delighted and honored to receive the ARC for Always. I followed this couples’ journey from the beginning, and with each tale, my love and adoration for these characters flourished. Their love, their missteps, their pain, their growth, everything they endured, touched me in an unforgettable way. This is without a doubt one of my all time favorite series and there are not enough stars in the sky to award my beloved Dean, his beauty Olivia, and this read. Once finishing Always, I found myself at a loss. Unable to find the words that can fully explain how my heart felt as I stepped inside their truly incredible love story. I can try, but my words will never do their profound beauty justice. I. Was. Floored. Overwhelmed. Astounded by this bittersweet, emotionally driven finale. It is here where they face an unexpected, life-altering obstacle. Liv continues to strengthen her resolve to push herself and her family forward, as Dean struggles with the fact that some situations are beyond his control. He cannot slay all the dragons, but will do anything and everything for the love of his life. Dean West ~ the bravest and most valiant knight, whose kinks and flaws in his armor made him THE PERFECT hero. My love for his character is immeasurable. The professor was just as swoon worthy, commanding and sexier than ever. All his passion, his vulnerability, his devotion, the fathomless love for his beauty, scorched my soul. I just wanted to crawl inside this story and wrap my arms around him. Olivia ~ one of the most gentle, soft-spoken heroines ever, and I absolutely adored her. Just like a butterfly, her transformation was remarkable ~ from the insecure timid girl I first met in Arouse, to an admirable woman of strength ~ she left me in awe. Liv and Dean's journey was an epic love story that will be forever seared deep within my soul. I cherished every moment of their passion (these two, as always, are HOT); sniffled my way through their heartaches; giggled in their moments of levity; and those quirky jokes and drawings made me smile. As I made my way through each book within this series, Nina Lane held my heart in the palm of her hand, causing it to sing with joy over the triumphs or weep with sorrow in their moments of darkness. It was an absolutely incredible experience. I was filled with bliss seeing their continuing tale, but mourning the end of their journey. My only consolation is to revisit the quaint town of Mirror Lake whenever I feel these characters calling. If you love sizzling romances laced with passion, that will twirl your emotions, I highly recommend this series. And as always, I’m looking forward to Lane’s next magical romance.

Adore (Spiral of Bliss #4) by Nina Lane @NinaLaneAuthor

4.5 “My Beauty” Stars Dean… the outrageously alluring and incredibly seductive hero who I affectionately nick named ‘Professor McHottie Pants’ stole my heart yet again in Adore…swoon Dean and Olivia West… So ecstatic to revisited one of my all time favorite lovebirds and this story was a great surprise. Throughout this series, (which I recommend reading in it's entirety before diving into Adore), I’ve weathered all the ups and downs of their relationship ~ the heartaches, the triumphs, and the obstacles that threatened to rip them part. I was curious to see how their story would continue. I was worried and hoped that their ‘happily ever after’ would not become tainted or forced to experience undue angst. Consuming this read in one sitting (because I could not tear myself away from the amazing professor), I found myself touched by another one of Nina Lane’s heartwarming tales.  This time, I was faced with this couple’s realistic struggle to reignite their passion while moving past the doldrums of marriage. Liv, while taking on more responsibilities with the business and an active member within the community of Mirror Lake, is dealing with the challenges of motherhood. She is tired and exasperated, pushing herself to the max as Nicholas is going through the ‘terrible twos’ stage. I loved seeing her character become more resilient with each struggle she faced. She’s vulnerable, yet became stronger as she tried to conquer every obstacle thrown her way. Despite her struggles, she would do everything and anything for her husband. Her love for him is limitless. And as always, it’s Dean who provided the strength she needed to persevere. I cherish their unique and mutually dependent relationship, which feeds their souls. Poor Dean, between his constant travels, Nicholas’ interruptions and the unrelenting pressure to take his career to a new level, he isn’t getting any nookie. Sexually frustrated, he misses the effortless spark of their passion and is annoyed it takes work to get Liv all sexed up. There’s just no spontaneity or free time and something’s got to give. Together, they faced the issue head on, determined to rekindle their sex life and find a way back to one another. And this where my Dean shines through – his resolve to regain control by spicing things up in the bedroom. As expected, he totally wowed me with his smoking hot and dominating ways. The professor certainly knows how to get down and dirty by using all of his charms and raw sexiness to kick the heat level up to scorching. Just when I thought I couldn’t love him more, I’ve fallen deeper for the way he consistently needs to protect and provide for his wife in all ways. Each time he calls Olivia “my beauty”, he melts my heart. Just the perfectly sweet and swoon worthy hero. Nina Lane has a magical way of stringing words together so beautifully sweet, they are seared into my soul. Adore was a compelling realistic and heart warming romance that will forever stay with me. I adored and appreciated the emotional way she scripted Liv and Dean’s everlasting love. This read was a wonderful treat for me, and as always, looking forward to more epic romances from her creative imagination. ARC provided in exchange for an honest review
