May 2016 Netgalley Reviews

Seduced (Wicked Woodley's #4) by Jess Michaels
From the moment he was introduced as Warrick's older brother in the previous book, Ruined, I have been looking forward to the story of Captain Jack. Taking on a life of crime to care for his brother, he became king of the underworld who happened to have a huge heart. From the moment he was confronted by Letty (who thought he was enticing her brother Griffin to follow his notorious lifestyle) he was the one seduced. Soon Letitia saw the true heart of Jack and quickly confided her own struggles in life that led to low self esteem and self doubt. If not for their stations in life they were the same side to a coin - fighters and defenders of those they loved even it it caused them a lifetime of pain. In finding each other the pain was able to heal and their loved restored hurts of the past.
Enjoyable characters,steamy romance, great story-line time and time again from Jess Michaels.

The Wedding Affair by Heather Boyd
I was into this story enough to want to reach through the pages and shake Felix and tell him to move onward and upward from Sally. She must have been a catch 6 years prior but time turned her into someone who held on to a grudge no matter what. I don't understand why Felix spent so much time groveling when I never felt it was really explained how he hurt her in the first place. Even once the misunderstanding of his ambition was explained (not very well explained at that) Sally chose to still be bitter for no other reason than why stop being bitter when that's all she knows how to be towards the hero? I liked Felix' s character but I wish he was paired with someone else or the heroine was written less spoiled.
