Unforgettable books from 2014
I've read a lot of great books in 2014, and before the year comes to a close at midnight tonight, I'd like to share my favorites. These are the ten books that, to me, offer unique and unforgettable stories and characters. They're the books that I'll go back and read again (if I haven't already) because they offer the best places to get lost. After each of them ended I was left wanting more because they were so incredible, and unable to stop thinking about them.
So here they are, in descending order to my favorite. Some are new releases and some are not, but they were ones I happened to come across and read this year. Numbering them was difficult, and some include series because they were too good to pick just one.
10. Slade and Hemy by Victoria Ashley
Victoria Ashley has these two bad boys saying and doing all sorts of naughty things that will make your panties melt. Speaking of melting,
9. Light Her Fire by Samanthe Beck
This is the second in the Private Pleasures series by Beck, and although I also loved Private Practice, the first book and the third, Falling for the Enemy, those two didn't have me laughing out loud like Light Her Fire. Seriously, Josh was hilarious. I actually had to get out of bed the night I was reading it, so I wouldn't wake my husband. This was definitely the funniest book I've read all year.
8. Tempting the Player by Jennifer Armentrout
Who doesn't love seeing a player fall hard and fast in love? This was a very unique love story. The player, a baseball star, has an image problem that he needs to fix if he wants to keep his high dollar contract with the Nationals. After having a fling with an average woman, his publicist decides this average girl is the one he needs to pretend to have a serious relationship with in the eyes of the media and the team's owners. Bridget is a funny and strong female character, and her and Chad have great chemistry.
7. Unfixable by Tessa Bailey
This is one of two Tessa Bailey books on my list. I love everything she writes, but there was something about Willow and Shane's story that I couldn't get enough of.
6. Her Twisted Pleasures, Their Twisted Love, His Twisted Choice by Amelia James
These three books are so hot you'll need to turn the air conditioner on in winter! They are kinky and some would even say have scenes considered taboo. I liked the kink, especially the very twisted love story that you've probably never come across before. I'd say they are almost dark romances, which is why I found them so appealing when compared to most of the cookie cutter boy meets girl stories out there.
5. Lick, Play, and Lead by Kylie Scott
Lick, Play and Lead me to the next book in this series! I'm so excited for Deep's release in March 2015! I'm confused as to how it already has so many Goodreads reviews, but maybe 478 people were lucky enough to get advanced copies. You'll fall in love with each member of the band. The three sexy guys are all so vastly different, and so are their love stories.
4. Crash Into Me and Drive Me Crazy by Tracy Wolff
This rocker series was neck in neck with Kylie Scott's, however I liked the couples in these two books just a tad better.
3. Officer Off Limits by Tessa Bailey (also Protecting What's His, Asking for Trouble and Staking His Claim)
A scene from the beginning of this book is what keeps it from being unforgettable in my mind. Here's a quote: "I'll set the timer for one minute. You'll have sixty seconds to prove you're not just a bunch of talk." Best sixty seconds in a book ever, and it only gets hotter from there.
2. The Kinky Bank Robbers series by Annika Martin
Bad boys, bad boys. Whatcha going to do? The three robbers in this series make me want to get held hostage. Okay, I take that back. I want to get held hostage by these three robbers. I was seriously impressed with how Annika Martin made criminals so endearing.
1.The Billionaire Bad Boys Club by Emma Holly
The title says it all. This book is about sexy bad boys that are billionaires - every woman's dream come true, right? Emma Holly left a lasting impression on me in this story, proving that sometimes two men really can be better than one when it comes to sex and love. Happy endings can come in all shapes and sizes, and this book ended with my favorite HEA of 2014.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
