Wet Dream (Hotties Of Haven) (Volume 1) ...

This is the first book in the hotties in Haven series by Jenna Jacob and she does not disappoint. Brea ends up calling Colton and Jade (from sin on a stick) after a run of bad luck) and needing their help and reconnecting with their friendship from high school the three of them make you laugh. Sawyer is a friend and local that that Brea meets and the chemistry she can't stay away from him even though she made a deal with herself to ban men. Will they be able to work together. This is is a great story and a great new series.

This was a great quick read, This is a great start to a new series from Jenna Jacob's. Jade and Colton were high school friends that hid their feelings from each other but after Jades life falls apart and she goes looking for a new life and ends up finding Colton. Their chemistry is HOT and they belong together, can't wait for the next book in the series. Jenna Jacobs again shows how to keep you interested and you don't want to put this book down.

REVIEW
This is a wonderful box set of romance, happily ever afters and wishes. All are very well written and I enjoyed them very much.
I am going to write my review on a few of the stories. I truly recommend this box set if you love romance at its finest.


The Bad Boy Meets his Match by Kristin Miller
We have Cora who now owns a lingerie store and just recently broke up with her boyfriend. Cora has dreamed many nights about an old love she had when she was younger Alec. Alec now is a multi billionaire who inherited his fathers company and Cora has kept up on all the smut in the papers about him. Cora decides to do a weekend get away with some of her girlfriends and they are going to the lake where Cora met Alec for the first time. But things don't go as planned and Cora is in for a shock. Alec is beyond shocked when he sees who is staying in the cabin next to his. What will become of this couple who never forgot their time together? Fantastic Romance story.


Collide & Burn by Claudy Conn
This was truly a romance. Wade Devon is a ruthless millionaire who basically has never wanted any type of relationship with any woman aside from one or maybe 2 nights. When Wade decides to buy a horse farm while in town a laughter catches his ear, the woman who made the laugh catches his eye and more. Charlie is happy she gets to stay on the farm although sadden that her parents are selling it and moving away. She can't wait to meet the mysterious man who has purchased the farm or can she? Once Charlie's eyes land on Wade all bets are off and keeping her heart in tack well she isn't sure how she will manage. Very sweet romance that was not rushed.


Snowflakes, Exes, and Ohs by Melanie James
Dylan and Abbie were a couple all through high school and had planned to marry. But as life often does things get in the way mainly Dylans need to not be tied down in a small town so he is off to the Navy and when he returns after something tragic happens he finds more than he bargained for. Can Abbie forgive him? Can he forgive himself?
Let me say I have read many books actually all books written thus far by this author and none tore my emotions wide open as this book did. You will go from crying literally to anger, to shock and surprise. Wow talk about a roller coaster ride. I loved it I truly loved it.


Unwrapping Noel by Jennifer Theriot
This is a fantastic love story.
We have Noel who is a public relations specialist. She has done very well for herself. Noel had a crap marriage though and finally divorced her husband Dave after 13 years of marriage. But he reeled her back in at least to get her help after being diagnosed with cancer. Do you think that changed him? Nope think again but finally Noel opens her eyes to the horrible man she was once married to. Noel hates the Christmas holidays and it just gets worse for her. She has never really felt that she was sexy or attractive.
Noels dear friend Tony is getting married so Noel is off to California and with some luck have some fun.
Well as they say when your not looking. While in California she attends a meeting with Tony and some others to discuss a new project. Little does she know her life and heart is about to change thanks to one Mr. Leon Hallas the trainer / business partner of Tonys that is if ex-husband Dave don't mess it up.
Again very well written and truly a romantic story. I enjoyed it very much.


Ruck by Holly S. Roberts
Van is jealous of what his brother Joel and his wife Cami has but he has always been the one night stand kind of man. His best friend Danny has always loved him although he never knew it and when he finally figures out what he wants he may not get it. Danny is hurt by how Van has been since she has known him so right now its a game and it's not Rugby. I really enjoyed this story.


I was gifted a copy of this book for my honest review. And I have also preordered it.

I dont know what it is about these books, but there's something.... that i just purely enjoy about them. The swash buckling, old school hand-to-hand fighting of monsters and devil spawn is just awesome. I feel my 13 yr old boy (don't lie everyone has one - no matter your actual gender) come out and cheer in delight every time an amazing feat is committed in the nick of time to stop the good guys from getting be-headed or skewered, though i must admit quite a few good guys went down in this book - at least 4, 5? but that just adds to the feeling or dread and excitement!!

 

Armand the french duelist is by far my favorite character, every time he's in a scene, getting into mischief or boasting his good looks, i feel my self smiling in delight. He's just such a character! and he's well rounded, while he's fighting skills may be at times unbelievable, he's not the best, he has his moments of weakness, and he hides behind a front of french courtliness, claiming how all the ladies chase after him, but when the time calls for it he's savage and loyal and wise. pretty sure I'm in love with a fictional character that spends a good chunk of his time flapping around a handkerchief (how low i have fallen - i need to read more cassie palmer books, and rekindle my mental affair with pritkin.....lol).

The main character of this book, Jakob is also pretty great, its fun to run around as him, he's young and not always brave but he is loyal and smart (though i totally figured out the puzzle before him! Yes I'm proud of that, don't judge me) and resourceful, his faith in god and his brothers-in-arms is admirable (plus with this shit he's seen i can't blame him!) he's just a really good lad, and you can see him - as a character - just brimming with potential. I also really appreciated the add of a great female character in this book - who was seen as a crucial part of the team, while being not only exceptionally clever, could kick ass better than jakob. which is impressive due to the era this book takes place in.

 

Speaking of which, the setting for this book is fantastic! i love how it is set so many years ago, where the thought of terrifying creatures from hell is actually (somewhat) believable, and they don't have the modern weapons to fight the monsters with, that we today do, and there for must use what is at hand with the best of their ability, its incredible to read about. I'm alsi a big fan of how its set with the holy roman empire in mind, and that for the most part the book is set in German, or references to it (this particular book was set physically else-where, a tomb in fact, riddle with traps! - that held all the artifacts of god - but the feeling of German-ness? never left) though it does complicate things when it comes to names. I for one have difficulty keeping track of who was who due to the unusual names and my inability to pronounce them, well the sir names - which they mainly use to refer to people - their first name (which i wish they used much more frequently) are much easier to keep track of! 

 

Anyways I'm rating this book 4 stars, my review, my rating > due to the fact that i had a blast reading it. It was fun, adventurous, puzzling and death-defying set in a period where witches and the undead seem much more reasonable and tangible. What more could i ask for??
