REVIEW: Unexpected Desires: The Serendipity Trilogy Book One by Zoey Derrick

I agreed to be their surrogate; to give my friends the one thing they couldn't do on their own.

The choice was easy.

What followed was not.

I fell in love with them along the way, but they can’t give me what I want most- their love.

The connection between them is undeniable.

How could I possibly come between them?

The truth is that I can’t.

Now, I’m pregnant and alone when all I’ve ever wanted is someone to love me, wholly and unconditionally.

I thought they were it, the Ones, but I was wrong.

My name is River Ashley Bennett and better plans are in store for me.

I just don’t know what they are yet.

We're broken.

Shells of the men we once were.

Our love has never been stronger, but we're missing the one thing we want above all else- a woman between us.

We gave up our dream when we were left unexpectedly by a woman in our past.

We want it back.

We didn't realize how much until she fell into our laps.

We have a chance to redeem ourselves; to feel complete in a way we never imagined.

There's only one problem.

She's pregnant with our best friend's child.

Can our desire and dreams withstand the time and trials we’ll have to endure to make her ours? Or will we be left on the outside looking in?

We want her.

We need her.

We are Keenan and Bodie Carmikael and we will stop at nothing to make her ours.

Forever.

EEK! I was so excited Zoey Derrick had a new book coming out let alone 3 of them. She is by far one of my favorite authors.

Zoey is so amazing,just from reading one of her books I immediately became addicted to her novels. Her writing style is amazing, erotic and fun with lots of twists and turns. She doesn't stick to the general goodie romantic situation either and I love that about her.

I guess I should actually talk about the book lol.

This book has quite a few character suprizes that I wont spoil for you but it gave me quite the shock. Had my jaw dropping with an omg moment.

River or Ash agreed to be Caden and Aryn's surrogate so they can have a baby and share the love they feel for each-other with a baby. They knew her from setting in the box where they met each-other and her and they trusted her explicitly. She was the only person they truly wanted to do this for them.

She agreed eventually keeping her distance from the baby so she doesn't get attached or trying to. She knows it will be harder than every to let her o if she gets attached.

Shes lonely and surrounded by coupled people and missing contact with someone that cares for her. The guys try but she cant get in the middle of what they have.

Then she meets Bodie and Keenan Carmikle and its a whirlwind from that point on.

 This is one amazing book and I cant wait to read book 2.Full of fun and eroticism and so much love you just cant handle it. She brings characters from her other books back in this book and its amazing how easily it flows with her doing that.

With the baby and her emotions this is a heart-wrenching book for sure.

Immediately after reading I went and ordered the second one because I was just that addicted.

REVIEW: Rapier (Apache County Shifters #3)by T.L. Reeve and Michele Ryan

Ten years ago, Rapier Dryer sent his mate away. The plan was to meet up later and find a new home, however, Raymond Quincy had other plans for them. What should’ve been months turned into years, and now, Rapier’s in a race against time to save Jasmine once more.

Jasmine Dryer knew the risks of splitting up. At five months pregnant, they thought it was the best chance to save their family. A decade later, she’s no longer running. She’s willing to stand her ground with her mate and face off against the one man who could single-handedly destroy everything.

Together they’ll forge an alliance with the Raferty Pack, determined to rebuild all they’ve already lost. There’s strength in numbers, and Rapier and Jasmine are willing to use that strength to keep their family safe. However, when people start dying and Raymond escapes prison, the tenuous bonds between Rapier and Jasmine are tested.

This epic battle has been brewing for years. Rapier’s prepared to end it once and for all—but then their twins, Bell and Zoe, are kidnapped.

And the man who has them is out for Rapier’s blood as well.

Make sure you check out the entire Apache County Shifters Series

Kalkin (Includes the short, Twins, too!)

Caden (Includes the short, Teacher, too!)

Rapier (less)

Oh man im such a big fan of The Apache County Shifters series so when I saw they finally did one for Kalkin I was so excited and ecstatic. In book number 2 Rapier was by far one of my favorite characters. Hes an amazing character you really dont find much about throughout the series.

But in this book you learn everything about why he is the way he is. Why he is so caring towards Cookie.

Jasmine is absolutely amazing, she split up from her mate Rapier so they could save their children she was pregnant with at the time from a madman trying to take everything over. Sh did everything for the last ten years with just her and her sisters and her twins. No contact with her mate nothing, just them protecting each other.

This book had me in tears on numerous occasions, Its so very emotional. As a couple reunited they go through so many things in their short period of time back together.

Kalkin and Rapier join forces trying to defeat Quincy only to come to many problems and issues along the way. Kalkin wants to do it the legal way as he is the alpha and the sheriff. Rapier just wants to let his lion free to rip Quincy to shred's from what he has done to him and his mate and his pride for the last decade.

Its a definite power struggle for them both as they join forces fighting who they are.

I just loved it and couldn't put it down its a must read. If you haven't read Kalkin or Caden I suggest you do all three together are an amazing read.
