CEO June: Robbie Hill by Tracie Podger

 



Robbie Hill was a playboy and proud of it. Between him and James, his friend and business partner, they’d gone through most of the women that frequented their establishment.

A chance meeting with a woman much older had Robbie questioning not only his education but how to please as well.

As CEO of a high-end London club, Robbie should be keeping his eye on his DJ’s and dancers. Instead he’s getting himself in a spin with a woman that could tie him in knots.

A couple of nights in her classroom was all it took for Robbie to learn his lesson.

The CEO series of STANDALONE erotic novellas is for readers over the age of 18 and most certainly contains scenes that are super hot. Some novellas are hotter than other, and some contain a little humour. #OneHandedReads

I would like to thank Tracie Podger for writing another good CEO story.


I wasn't that keen on Robbie Hill's story. Not sure what it was, but it was something that didn't grab me in the character. But the storyline was rather weird for me to read as I wasn't keen on what he had done in the beginning and what sort of person he was. It sounded a little bit like he hadn't changed much. But the woman who was dominating is thoughts was rather funny, but there was a bit when I felt sorry for Robbie with her lol.


I love reading Tracie Podger books, but this current CEO wasn't for me.

CEO May: Frankie Tate (CEO Series Book 5) by Tracie Podger

 




Frankie Tate had burned the candle at both ends for way too long. He knew if he didn’t get his life under control he’d run the risk of shortening it.

The scare of a heart attack and an attractive nurse that disliked him, were the triggers he needed to change his life.

As CEO of an accountancy firm, Frankie should be keeping his eye on figures. Instead he was counting the hours it would take to wear down his favourite nurse and have her all to himself.

One night in a hospitable bed was all it took for Frankie to see the error of his ways.

The CEO series of erotic novellas is for readers over the age of 18 and most certainly contains scenes that are super hot. Some novellas are hotter than other, and some contain a little humour. #OneHandedReads



I would like to thank Tracie Podger for writing another terrific CEO book.



Frankie Tate is a man who feels he's lost everything until 1 day he has a heart attack due to his excessive drinking. He meets a nurse who makes him re-evaluate his life and what he's become. What happens between the nurse and Frankie Tate is anyone's guess, but if you know Tracie Podger books, you'll know there are some sparks that will fly.



Can't wait to read more from Ms Podger.

My Lord by Tracie Podger

 


When Lord Duchoveny was presented with an opportunity that was hard to resist, it came with a clause. A woman he desired would also, technically, be his boss.

Gabriella Collingsworth oversaw the UK operations for a private investor and venture capitalist. Between them, they had agreed Alex Duchoveny would be the best man to head a new business with lucrative contracts.

What hadn’t been banked on was the immediate attraction between Alex and Gabriella and the push and pull of forming a relationship between two people with alpha tendencies.

A British stiff upper lip or stick up his ass as Gabriella called it, causes Alex to find it difficult to express his feelings for her.

That is until an old rival returns for revenge.

My Lord features characters from the novel, The Facilitator, and is a standalone for readers over the age of 18.


I would like to thank Tracie Podger for writing a great book for introducing Alex and Gabriella to us. It was lovely to see who they were and their back story for The Facilitator 1 & 2.

Alex is a Lord and isn't bothered really about his title. Gabrielle is a woman who will stick 2 fingers up to her male counterparts in the business world. What happens when Gabrielle and Alex meet at a meeting with the gorgeous and sexy Mackenzie Miller. Who the heck has it in for Alex and what lengths will Mackenzie and Alex go to save Gabrielle? 

You get to meet Mackenzie Miller, Alex Duchoveny, Gabrielle Collingsworth and also Veronica Duchoveny. I loved the back story and even guessed a few things that happened in the real world that Ms Podger added to make her story so believable. It also made me laugh at places and me gasp as well.

CEO April: Zed Barker (CEO Series Book 4) by Tracie Podger

 





When Zed Barker’s secretary offers to arrange a short break for him, he wasn’t sure what she’d book – he certainly didn’t expect to put his keys in a bowl.

Bored of his vanilla life, Zed splits from his long-term partner and discovers a different lifestyle. Thankfully, the women he shared that with enjoyed it, too.

As CEO of a publishing house, Zed should be keeping his eye on books. Instead, he was keeping his eye on the body of one of his authors.

One weekend in Cornwall in the ugliest house he’s seen, however, had him writing a new chapter in his life.

The CEO series of STANDALONE erotic novellas are for readers over the age of 18 and most certainly contain scenes that are super hot. Some novellas are hotter than others, and some contain a little humour. #OneHandedReads



This was the 1st book I've read of this series that I never read what it was about. I jumped right in as they say last night and read the whole book from cover to cover.

Zed Barker is a sexy gorgeous CEO and boy does he bring the steam ladies ;) Going away for the weekend is what he needed to get the juices running, but he doesn't expect to meet any of his authors that he represents. What happens next is up to one's imagination and boy do I have an imagination ;)

Can't wait to see what Mr CEO May has in store for me next :D

CEO March: Alex Cotton (CEO Series Book 3) by Tracie Podger

 



Alex Cotton needed some time out. He was burning out and wanted solitude. A camping trip in the wilderness seemed the prefect escape – except, he wasn’t alone.

Alex discovers a fellow burned out traveller was sharing the space he’d booked for himself and since it was late, there was not much he could do about it.

As CEO of a sports manufacturing company, Alex should be keeping his eye on sports equipment. Instead, he was captivated by the balls of his unexpected neighbour.

One night in the wilderness had Alex questioning everything he knew about himself.

CEO March contains scenes of MM. The CEO series of STANDALONE erotic novellas are for readers over the age of 18 and most certainly contains scenes that are super hot. Some novellas are hotter than other, and some contain a little humour. #OneHandedReads


I've loved getting to know Alex and Damon through this wonderful story. I still want to know where Ms Podger comes up with her storylines as they seem so real to me and what is happening in the world today about homosexuality and things.


Can't wait to read CEO April now :D

CEO February: Brax Danvers by Tracie Podger

 



American in London, Brax Danver, was bored of his usual hook ups.

While walking his dog one evening, Brax stumbled across a clearing and a couple creating their own entertainment. It seemed they were happy to put on a show for him.

As CEO of a high class marketing agency, Brax should have been working on a pitch for a celebrity chef. Instead, he was being entertained in the clearing way more than he should be.

When Darryl Jacobs fell over Brax's dog lead, he fell into an exhibitionist’s dream.

The CEO series of erotic novellas is for readers over the age of 18 and most certainly contain scenes that are super hot. #OneHandedReads

Now Mr February CEO is a delicious, gorgeous American man in the UK. His tastes are eclectic and OMG lol. Finding stuff that he is into and what I know of things, I am curious to know where Ms Podger finds her inspiration ;) for these CEOs. Where can we find a CEO like Brax Danvers, amongst the pages of CEO February ladies.


Can't wait to read CEO March next :D

CEO January: Jake Winters (CEO, #1) by Tracie Podger

 



It was Jake Winters infatuation with his secretary that led him to become a member of an exclusive club in London.

The problem with the activities on offer was they became addictive.

As the CEO of his own company in London, Jake should be keeping his eye on the ball. Instead they were firmly following his secretary’s backside whenever she walked away from him.

One upgraded night in the club, however, had him watching way more than he bargained for.



The CEO series of erotic novellas is for readers over the age of 18 and most certainly contains scenes that are super hot. #OneHandedReads

Well what can I say?????


A 5 star book that has everything a full blown book would be in such a small amount of time to read. A journey I never thought I needed to read and love the characters as fiercely as I have done.


Can't wait to read CEO February.

Fallen Angel, Part 7: Fallen Angel Series: A Mafia Romance by Tracie Podger

 


Shattered hearts and minds can be fixed, so my wife kept telling me.

She was correct, she always was. She held me so tight, all my broken pieces had nowhere to go but back together. I just had to convince her she was needed by my side once more – Robert Stone

My husband had a decision to make; I had the biggest one of all.

I needed to reconcile Roberto Sartorri and Robert Stone and understand they were the same. It was going to challenge me – Brooke Stone

My family had been through hell.

I’d been to the gates, met the devil, and then decided to come back. Not even the great man would take us on at that time. My life had to change, however, and the return of a lost love would be the start of it – Travis Curran


Fallen Angel, Part 7 is told from three points of view. Robert, Brooke, and Travis bring us up to date on family life over a short period of time after Christmas and the worst year the family had ever endured.

Welcome to A New Year

Fallen Angel, Part 7 is a Mafia Romance and intended for readers over the age of 18. Contains graphic sexual scenes.



I would like to thank Tracie Podger for writing a brilliant part of the Fallen Angel saga.



This picks up from where Fallen Angel 6 finished off in a sense. It brings us to the present day of what the family are up to. There was parts I laughed at, there was parts I was crying at, but all in all a brilliant book of why we LOVE Roberto, Travis and Brooke and the things Brooke particularly puts up with. Brooke is one resilient woman and who ever lands with Travis (which you'll see when you read this book) must be a saint lol with his kind of messed up life. You get to know a little more about Gerry and Harley (who I love as well). I'd like to see more of Italy and that side of Roberto's life and how the boys become what they want to or if Gerry takes over the business at all???? 


I can't wait to see if Ms Podger writes anymore about Roberto, Travis, Brook and the gang.

Posh Frocks & Peacocks by Tracie Podger

 


What better to accompany Colleen the Llama, Gerald the goat, and Piggy the pig with rickets than two rescue peacocks?
In true Lizzie and Ronan style, however, these aren’t just any old peacocks.

Life for Lizzie and Ronan has been hectic. With a thriving holiday destination set up in the castle grounds, the naked artists still…naked, and the use of the castle as a film location, it’s time to plan the next development in their relationship.

But will it all go to plan?

Posh Frocks & Peacocks follows on from Cold Nips & Frosty Bits, which follows on from Limp Dicks & Saggy Tits!
 

This was a hilarious book from start to finish. I woke up at 2.20am this morning and picked this up (as I hadn't read since last year), just read it from start to finish with giggles and loving the characters.

Lizzie and Ronan are getting married. What antics are the new animals gonna bring to the story? What will happen at the wedding? Who is going to turn up and what mayhem will ensue?

The Killing Type by Jane Corry

 



A TWISTED TALE FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MY HUSBAND'S WIFE AND BLOOD SISTERS - THE PERFECT TRAIN-RIDE READ

Susie and her sister have never been close. These days they barely speak. So when Danielle messages her out of the blue and begs to meet, Susie knows something must be wrong.

But what Danielle tells her seems crazy. Her husband, Simon, may be a bully, but surely he wouldn't hurt her?

Then the accident happens. And Susie is forced to rethink everything.

Who is lying?
Who is telling the truth?
And who, really, is the killing type?


I would like to thank Jane Corry and Netgalley for this opportunity to read a short book.

This is told from both sisters perspectives. Who is telling the truth? Who is lying? Can both sisters be as cruel as they are being led to believe or are they sweet and innocent like they are portraying?

You will have to read The Killing Type and see who is a killer, if any of them are?????

The Sheikh’s Pregnant Love (The Karawi Sheikhs #3) by Leslie North

 



Danielle Greenski’s life is going to change in a big way. Single and newly pregnant, her days of traveling the globe for work and living a life of adventure are about to end. But not just yet—when she meets a gorgeous man who’s the perfect “last fling” before she settles down to mommyhood. After an amazing weekend with Sheikh Riyad Karawi, she’s totally fine with saying good-bye—until she’s kidnapped by rebels who think she’s carrying the Sheikh’s baby. Apparently, in addition to being a Sheikh, her weekend lover has some other big secrets he hasn’t shared. Like how he’s part of the country’s elite military squad. And wanted by rebels. And maybe the most intriguing man she’s ever met…

The last thing this womanizing charmer needs is to fall for a pregnant woman—it would completely blow the playboy persona he’s been using to get close to the rebel forces. But that’s what Sheikh Riyad is faced with after he meets American firebrand, Danielle. He can’t figure out why he feels the need to protect a woman he’s just met, why he can’t seem to get her out of his system—no matter how hard he tries—and why the thought of her going home is punching him in the gut. For now, he’ll just keep her around until he knows she’s safe. Or maybe, until he can convince her to stay.

If only he can make Danielle believe that he’s not just the playboy she met, but a man she could love forever.


I would like to thank Leslie North for writing a terrific ending to the Karawi Sheikhs series, throughly enjoyed them all.

Riyad Karawi has just saved his family from another threat from the rebels, but as he is just dropping something off to an informant, he sees this gorgeous woman. He is intrigued and wants to get to know her more. Danielle Greenski is pregnant and sat at the table staring at her wine glass when Riyad comes over and starts talking to her, she wonders who this gorgeous dark haired man is. She wants 1 night to forget all her worries and he will do nicely. What happens next is a girl's dream, she's whisked off to a hotel and for the next 2 nights it's all passion until all hell breaks loose when she is kidnapped by the rebels whilst buying a teddy for her unborn child. What lengths will Riyad go to, to protect Danielle and his family from the rebels when he finds out she is pregnant? Will it a happy ending for Danielle and Riyad or will it be the end of the Karawi dynasty?

You need to read the final installment of the Karawi Sheikhs saga to find out.

The Sheikh’s Secret Child (The Karawi Sheikhs #2) by Leslie North

 



As an ambitious American journalist, Amy Mathewson will stop at nothing to get her story—including going into dangerous, rebel-infested countries. But when she stumbles across seven-year-old Aisha in an orphanage her heart melts, and Amy vows to keep her safe.

Until the rebels start to close in.

Just when Amy thinks they’re in grave danger, a stunning Sheikh arrives, claiming Aisha as his daughter; a Sheikh with smoldering dark eyes and the kind of handsome that is difficult to forget. Unwilling to let Aisha go with a stranger, Amy agrees to accompany the Sheikh and Aisha to a safe house to confirm his claim. But it may not be safe for Amy, not with a sexy Sheikh making her feel things she hasn’t felt in a long time—and whose touch is as hot as the desert sun.

All his life, Sheikh Bahir Karawi has taken care of himself, knowing no one else would. When he discovers he has a daughter, he immediately sets out to bring her home, to make sure she never feels as alone as he always has. What he doesn’t count on is butting heads with the fiercely protective and dangerously beautiful Amy, who has taken up the duties of caring for his daughter. As they get to know one another, he can’t ignore the searing attraction he feels, nor the realization that Amy would be perfect, both for his daughter and for him.

As the rebels close in, Bahir realizes he will do anything to keep his daughter and Amy safe—even if that means putting his very life at risk.


I would like to thank Leslie North for writing another 5 star in the Karawi Sheikhs series.

Amy Mathewson leaves Miami, Florida for a new life to get away from her old life. She's a journalist and stumbles on this orphanage on the outskirts of Haamas to write a few stories about them. A little girl called Aisha takes to her and Amy looks after her when she falls ill. 
Sheikh Bahir Karawi finds letters from his lost love (that his uncle had hidden from him) claiming her child is his daughter. She died and her aunt gave her daughter to the orphanage as the family had disowned the woman and her daughter. He goes looking for her and finds her in the orphanage, but Amy is a fierce woman who won't let Aisha go with anyone as the rebels want Aisha. 
Sheikh Bahir takes Amy and Aisha into hiding as the rebels start getting closer, what happens between Bahir and Amy will take you on a ride through a fairytale with maybe a happy ending.

I love reading Leslie North books as they make it easy to forget the world around you and take you on an adventure into your deepest and darkest fantasies.

Cold Nips & Frosty Bits by Tracie Podger

 


Living between Scotland and Kent with the dashing Scot, Ronan, and a collie called Max, Lizzie can finally settle into a relationship with someone who gets her…most of the time.

Drama llamas and fainting goats aren’t all that Lizzie falls in love with, though. There’s the caravan she has named Christine.

With the menopause creeping up on her and Ronan hinting at marriage – neither of which Lizzie was rushing towards – decisions have to be made.

Follow Lizzie and Ronan on yet more humorous journeys of middle-aged relationships and the menopause!

Cold Nips & Frosty Bits follows on from Limp D*cks & Saggy T*ts.

I want to say thanks to Tracie Podger for writing another great part of the Ronan and Lizzie saga lol.

In this saga of an episode (like a soap opera these people are in the books lol), Ronan and Lizzie have invested in a caravan called Christine (OMG what a name). Menopause creeping up (what a nightmare as I understand that sister as they say). What can happen when Ronan has wedding on his mind, there are more antics than you can have hot dinners with this crazy lot lol. But if you're looking for a way out of your every day life at the moment and need loads of giggles, YOU HAVE TO READ Limp Dicks & Saggy Tits followed by Cold Nips and Frosty Bits for a hilarious weekend of laughter.

Can't wait to see what other antics these lovely fun people get up to in the next installment.

The Billionaire’s Pregnant Employee (Preston Brothers #3) by Leslie North


For as long as she can remember, Claire Baldwin has dreamed of seeing the world. For a small-town girl it might seem impossible, but she’s already seen more of the world than she ever expected, and her skills as an interpreter promise more adventures to come. When sexy billionaire Archer Preston needs someone to interpret businessmen from China, Claire’s skills are more than up to the task. Not only can she understand and speak their dialect, she’s also pretty good at interpreting Archer’s obvious attraction. When he suggests a no-strings affair, Claire accepts, knowing that Archer would never want anything more. But all her dreams come to a screeching halt when she finds out she’s pregnant—with twins. Thankfully, she and Archer still agree that love and marriage are definitely not in the picture. After spending more time with Archer, though, Claire begins to realize she might want that picture to include a family portrait.

Archer may not be entirely thrilled to know he’s going to be a father, but he’s committed to being in his children’s lives. Though the thought of settling down makes him more than a little queasy, he’ll take care of Claire, give her a place to stay at his house, and make sure his babies are healthy. Just so long as his relationship with Claire is strictly platonic. Which it is…for about a week. Seems they just can’t fight the searing attraction between them. Before Archer knows it, he’s fighting more than just a simple attraction to Claire. He doesn’t love her, does he? Just the thought of spending the rest of his life with one woman sends him running halfway around the world, and Claire can’t follow. If Archer doesn’t realize what’s really in his heart, he just might lose the only woman he’s ever truly loved…


 I received an advanced review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Roll on later that night and Archer and Claire mixes business with pleasure. A few weeks down the line, Claire finds out she's expecting Archer's baby. What happens when they find out it's TWINS. What will Archer do, will he run away like he does with all relationships or will he stick around and love her and the twins as much as he says he will.

To Stephanie Sugarman, Charlie Preston is just the bad boy billionaire who rejected his own son. Six years ago, she and Charlie had an admittedly hot one-night stand, which left her pregnant. When she tracked down his family, his mother offered her money to go away. Now, however, Stephanie’s forced to spend time with Charlie as her boss’s liaison while Charlie crunches the numbers for a potential acquisition. At first, she can’t stand to be in the same room as the charming, brilliant businessman. But as time goes on, she realizes the man she believed him to be and the man she sees now are completely different. This Charlie is honorable, charming, and—most importantly—would never abandon his son. And he seems determined to prove to her that he’s worthy of her heart.

Even though he and Stephanie only spent one incredible night together, Charlie has never been able to get her out of his mind. Now that he’s working with her, he has the chance to make things right, to prove he’s someone she and their son can trust. He’ll approach fatherhood the same way he approaches everything in life—with a detailed, meticulous plan. What he doesn’t anticipate is fiercely independent Stephanie, who gets a bit prickly when he tries to lay out a future for them. The problem is, planning is what Charlie does best, but he learns too late that all the planning in the world can’t make her stay with him. He’ll have to ditch his plan and follow his heart…no matter where it leads.

The Cowboy's Stubborn Sweetheart (Brothers of the Cooper Ranch #3) by Leslie North



Julianna Norrell’s dream of leaving Montana for big city life in NYC was wonderful—until it all went bust. She’d tempted fate by getting a fine arts degree in photography, and believing one brilliant show would make her career take off. But three years later she’s a borderline starving artist, making a living off of stock art photography. Plus, she's just been on the wrong side of a copyright infringement case and no gallery in New York will touch her. Se when her mother seriously breaks her leg at the same time Julianna gives up her lease, it seems fate is pulling her back to where she started: Cooper Ranch.

Wright Cooper has come home to lick his wounds. After being a major fundraiser in a failed political run, most of America has started to hate his guts, and Wright himself is beginning to wonder when he’d stopped vetting his politician’s ideas and simply started funding them. Now, he’s home to dust off his boots and find himself again in the beautiful land that had made him want to enact change for his country in the first place.

When the two childhood sweethearts suddenly find themselves living under the same roof, they’ll need to decide if they’re coming home for good, or simply stopping over before losing each other once again.


I would like to thank Leslie North for writing a brilliant ending to the Brothers of Cooper Ranch.

Can Wright Cooper and Julianna Norrell work together to help each other or will their love for each other get in the way?

All will be revealed in the final installment of Brothers of Cooper Ranch.

The Rancher’s Unexpected Baby (Brothers of the Cooper Ranch #2) by Leslie North



To Maxwell Cooper’s great pleasure, his horses of quality Quarab stock have been well received by American buyers. His goal of selling to the Arab royal family would give his breeding business international credibility and prove that he wasn’t the bad apple everyone had assumed. After missing his opportunity at auction two years in a row, he’s been invited to back to back VIP sales and word on the street is that the royal family is going to be in attendance. And nothing will stop him from keeping his eye on the prize this time.

Lena Fudge had been traveling the circuit as a newbie horse trader, but found herself fired after she passed along a hot tip while having hot sex with Maxwell Cooper. Now disgraced, she finds herself back in her family’s home in the middle of nowhere horse country. Learning she’s pregnant adds insult to injury, and despite her best efforts she’s fulfilling her family’s curse of living at home. She knows she has to tell Maxwell about the baby, but she refuses to ask for his help till she has her ducks in a row. That is until she runs into Maxwell at the auction stables after being rejected from a last ditch attempt to get her old job back.

Maxwell has been dreaming of Lena since their night of passion four months ago. One look at her, and being pretty sure he was the one to pop her cherry, he realizes he’s the father. But Maxwell knows Lena’s pride would not allow him to take care of her, so he asks her to work with him as a horse trader. It’s not charity. As it turns out, Lena is the full package. She’s a dream in the stables, amazing with buyers, and not adverse to a roll in the hay. But when things begin to go deeper than just a sale or sex, they’ll find them find themselves racing toward a bidding war that will either have them living a life of love or losing it all.


I would like to thank Leslie North for writing a brilliant 2nd part to the Brothers of the Cooper Ranch. 

I've been meaning to read this part of the series for a while and it didn't disappoint as it introduces us to Maxwell Cooper who is a quiet but surprisingly forceful when needed and Lena Fudge who is feisty & pregnant woman. I think Lena is a horse whisperer and she also has this in spades when it comes to talking potential buyers in buying from Cooper Ranch. Maxwell Cooper is determined to sell his prize horse to the Arabs, but will they be interested when they meet Lena Fudge (pregnant and showing). But Maxwell thinks he knows best, will they buy his prize horse or will he be doomed to lose the sale and Lean at the same time. Time will tell.

Angelica: To accompany the Fallen Angel Series by Tracie Podger



Do you believe in love at first sight?

I didn’t, in fact, I didn’t believe in love at all.

That was until the man with the dirty blond hair rescued me from hell.

Angelica has spent her short life in servitude.

Unofficially married at twelve and caring as best she can for stolen and abused children wasn’t the servitude she expected, though.

When Angelica realised she needed to run, or die trying, her only hope was that the Sartorri family would take her in.

She hadn’t banked on the man with the blue eyes and the dirty blond hair.

She hadn’t banked on falling for someone twice her age and who couldn’t even speak her language.

It was doomed to fail….wasn’t it?

THE AUTHOR ADVISES THAT YOU READ FALLEN ANGEL, PART 6 BEFORE THIS NOVELLA

Readers of the Fallen Angel series first meet Angelica in Fallen Angel, Part 6 and it is recommended that you ask about Angelica before reading this novella if you are not familiar with her backstory. This novella will be uncomfortable reading for some. For readers over the age of 18 due to the content. 



I was honoured to read this last part of the Fallen Angel short stories that celebrate the main characters in this enticing and brilliant series.

Angelica is a young girl who's body is broken due to the family she is enslaved in. Her mother worked for the family and the son claimed Angelica for his own. What happens to Angelica's spirit is a miracle and when she gets away is nothing of a miracle. 

A short story about the most brilliant woman you would ever meet with a spirit to match.
