The Tycoon's Stowaway by Stefanie London

Reviewed by Desere 



When picking up a Stefanie London book I can always be sure there will be blazing hot passion, scrumptious settings and really awesome fun and fresh characters. But what makes her books so much fun to read is that each time she manages to surprise me with something new. Of course the characters are new, the setting is new and the story is new, but it's the hero and heroine's personalities that manage to surprise and blow me away with every one of her books. In this read she did it again, by taking a non traditional Mills and Boon Modern hero and changing him up in ways that had me thinking " Why are more of the hero's in these reads not like this?"

It starts with Brodie, he is not the typical tycoon type, he's more fun and laid back, hardworking yes but with that seriously sexy
" Let's get down and dirty at the beach because I am all about the party!" This being said there he does also have a hidden side behind the party-boy attitude, he's a really big softie and takes really good care of his sisters. Successful yacht charter owner, sexy party at the beach bad-boy but I will take care of you at all costs , so yeah pretty much the perfect man!

His love interest from eight years ago, Chantal, makes quite the comeback into his life. But seeing her dance for other men is not what he had in mind when she was in his fantasies, dancing just for him. Chantal had a rough marriage , being controlled and told what to do, who to see, how to dance and how to act was an absolute nightmare, so when Brodie literally drags her out of the sleazy bar and away from the dancing stage, she's less than impressed. But she decides to stick around on his yacht for the night and by morning she will get back to the bar, and continue her journey of proving herself worth of being a top dancer her always-making-sacrifices mother will be proud of. The only problem in her master plan is when Brodie starts to put his charming cheesy moves on her,she can't seem to resist. Sex with Brodie is just the kind of stress reliever she needs before getting back to her task, but what to do when Mr. has-a-woman-in-every-State decides she's the one and only ?

As I have already said I adored the character of Brodie, his fun and fresh beach bad-boy attitude really grabbed my attention. I especially loved his softer side, through this character the author showed that there is always and I mean always another side to everyone. It's not the side they want the world to know about because it would mean them being exposed to losing some great battle.
Another little bit of awesomeness was that Brodie  never gives up when he wants something, and hunting Chantal down and dragging her back to the yacht, sounds really cavemen like and usually I am totally against it, but this author made it sound so super sexy it melted my heart!

The character of Chantal was one of those heroines that makes you sit up straight and take notice right away. Strong willed, independent, always moving to reach for her dreams, never giving up and a bit of a total goof when it comes to realizing there is a whole other way to let other's help you without giving up all of your independence that you worked so hard for. Such a goof in -fact that I at one stage thought it might be a good idea to just lock her in cage till she comes to her senses, the author of course had a whole other idea and without revealing it all, I will just add HA HA HA in your face Chantal!

I am taking away an amazing memorable message from this read. Life is meant to be fun and a little crazy with all sorts of unexpected hurdles but accepting a little bit of help sometimes can be even more fun and crazy then you ever expected, but exactly what you need.

I highly recommend this read for anyone looking for a fresh, funky not your everyday kind of read romance. Stefanie London's writing is addictive and the craziness that goes along with the funkiness is what will keep me coming back for more and more every time!

" She's been missing from his life for eight years, but now that's he has found her he won't be letting her escape again. His fantasy is about to get real in every sense of the word!" 

The Rules According to Gracie by Stefanie London

Reviewed by Desere 

Everyone has a set of rules they live by, but temptation holds no regard for rules. In the latest read from author Stefanie London we meet Gracie Green.

She has shopping lists full of rules for men, career,financials and family.The longest of these lists is the one used to determine a guy's suitability . She 's already disappointed her socialite mother once, so now she needs to find Mr. Perfect. Too bad she keeps getting distracted by her super-sexy, six-feet-of-hunky-delicious-tattooed-hotness friend, Des.

Bar owner instead of yacht owner, tattooed with drooling sexiness instead of drenched in cash, Des is all shades of Mr Wrong. And he never get's involved with society girls. Yet there is something about Gracie that draws him near. It could be her lush curves, the sensual lips, or her ridiculous ability to date the wrong guys, it could be a number of other things, either way he can't seem to not want her.

As Gracie 's search for Mr Right continues and discouragement grows, Des decides it's time to show this little socialite what she really needs in a man, and it has nothing to do with a briefcase and generous bank account. He'll teach Gracie the Rules According to Des, even if it means he has to break his own rule in the process.

This was a quick read, and trust me once you get started there will be no stopping. The delicious sexy attraction blossoming between Des and Gracie, is that addictive!

The character of Des was simply delicious! I loved how he slowly but surely steered Gracie from her path of searching for the perfect man. The character of Gracie was hilarious, I laughed so hard at her attempts to find the right guy and through her character the author showed that we are not meant to
please others, the only person you need to keep happy is yourself.

Through both characters the author showed that rules are needed in life, but essentially there is a time and place for the rules to implemented, because if it's all about the rules all the time, you will for darn sure miss every opportunity to find out how the other half of the world lives.  The read tells of a journey of self discover, breaking the rules and having fun, super, hot sexy fun!

I highly recommend this fabulous read, passionate, sexy, flirty and fun. This author certainly shines like a bright diamond in the romance world! Keep them coming Stefanie!

Breaking the Bro Code - by Stefanie London

Reviewed by Desere

There are countless tales of woman who find themselves in love with their brother's best friend, of course it almost always involves a lot of sneaking around and learning things about each other you never noticed before.

But sadly it always involves a brother that might or might not break someone's knee caps, and that someone is always the poor hero in the story. It also involves discovering that it 's all a big misunderstanding of lust and no love, a friendship damaged and a large dose of uncomfortably.

In the second read from the very talented Stefanie London we meet Ellie Johnson, she has a lot of important things to think about and men ain't one of them.

But when gorgeous Col Hillam, her brother's best friend saunters back into her life, she's none too keen but he proposes a purely professional arrangement to help her safe her ballet studio but the last time they got within kissing distance from each other they got carried away, really carried away and it ended in disaster!

Col knows Elise is off limits but it only makes her more tempting and with chemistry this hot it surely means the bro code is null and void right? But will Elise want to play with fire again and more importantly will she put her heart on the line or simply let Col walk away and remember him as just another one of her brothers friends?

I adored this read so very much , it had sweet passion, intrigue and such a lovely combination of sweet and sexy meets lust and passion , that it just popped from the pages and I certainly did not want the story to end.

Elise and Col were both written really well and with loads of brilliant intensity and vibrancy , it simply seemed as if they were coming alive with each word and I can honestly say the more I read the more I expected them to leap from the pages any second.

The character of Col was very intense and very yummylicious! I liked that he wants to remain a private person at all times yet tries very hard to come around to that suave and all too smooth kind of hero that can let just about any woman's clothes drop with a simple hi. I adored him for trying yet I also wanted him to retain his privateness simply because it made him so much more mysterious, which I totally loved. I loved how the author eventually takes the two and combines it into the perfect guy.

Elise was really neat , I really liked her being so independent and always trying to think on a crystal basis, but it was so delicious seeing her crystal cool and calm thinking plunder to the ground when Col is near, simply sizzling entertainment!

I am taking away a message of leaving memories in the past is sometimes a good thing, but when it gets too much too handle it starts ruining your life and leaves you feeling drained. There is always someone you can talk to, as a friend or as something more, not matter someone is there waiting in the wings to help you through it. See them for who they are and grab hold with hands!

I recommend this read for fans of romance with sweet and sexy characters , a unique plot and a larege dose of bubbling hot passion !

" Bro code or no code, this attraction is about to go up in flames of desire" 

Only the brave try ballet by Stefanie London

Reviewed by Desere

Imagine being a big time professional football star, sustaining an injury and then to bring yourself back in the game you need to take ballet lessons! Yeah, your over the top manly team members are for darn sure going to have a field day with that one, not to mention the stuff the paparazzi will come up with.

This is exactly what sex on legs football star Grant Farley has to endure, but worse than any girly jab any one can come up with or slush that the press can dream up, is the strong attraction he feels for his ballet instructor Miss Prim and Proper Jasmine.

Grant knows he shouldn't tease her but it's just so much fun he can't help himself, and in the process he will get this lessons to get flexible again over and done with, so it should all work out okay. That is if he can manage to not let the teasing go any further than the classroom, that's the plan anyway, but who knows maybe a fling is just what he needs to bring his full head on A-game again.

Jasmine has enough issues of her own to deal with , she's in this lesson thing for the money it's as simple as that, or at least that's what she tells herself. The flaming hot attraction towards Grant can be filed away with a little discipline and dedication, right? Discipline and dedication is what dancers do best, but that only works when it's related to dancing and other areas in life and soon Jasmine and Grant find themselves trapped in a world of secrets being revealed, an explosive passion and a life changing decision that will either bring them together or shatter both their hearts.

I really, really, really loved this book! It was fun and sexy, humorous and had so much fantastic flair that it blended into a perfect romantic escape that I did not want to see end. I wanted to remain in this author's world that was simply magical and blew my mind!

Both main characters were written very well and so very realistic. They both have injury related issues but of course both have to find their own way of dealing with it and the impact if has on their careers. Seeing how the author let them be completely different but the same on so many levels was really awesome.

I very much enjoyed the level of turmoil and anguish they both have to run through to try and get over the hard blows life has dealt them. And yes I will be the first to say it sounds weird that I enjoyed anguish and turmoil because anyone who knows me knows I want everyone to be happy , but when I say I enjoyed the anguish and turmoil I mean that the author tugged at my heartstrings so badly it not only had me in tears but most importantly reminded me that every single one of us has different ways of dealing with pain. The author brought the reality of it all into play with such vivid detail it completely overwhelmed me, major tissue alert!

I loved all the ballet and football terms, I am not a big fan of either but I very much enjoyed learning about both through the eyes of the author and her characters. Some books that relate a lot of information to the characters careers do so only halfway and I feel lost and irritated and most of the time I need to go and give old Google a good search to try and understand what the author is saying, not the case in this read. The author 's very detailed descriptions put me front and center with all the information I needed to create the scenes and get them playing out in my mind.

I felt the heartache and disappointment of both characters, I felt the adrenalin rush as they push themselves to reach the top and I felt each and every moment of joy as they journeyed to the perfect ending.  I will say that the book starts out just a little slow, but this tied in with the realistic part of it all, most reads of this nature has the couple meeting , dancing around each other and by chapter three they jump into bed together. In real life it does sometimes work that way but for the most part people do actually take the time to wait and get to know each other first. So the little slow buildup in this read is totally worth it, because when it hits that explosive moment you just know that this is the way real love is meant to play out.

Through the character of Grant and his up and leave 'em past I learned that it is always good to pursue our dreams but leaving behind our loved ones it never meant to be apart of the deal. Yes, our loved ones are not always going to support us in what we do, but always remember to be the better person and try and make them understand why you are following the dream., but never let your dream overshadow the love you know will always be there from the ones that mean the world.

Through the character of Jasmine I learned that life has all kinds of terrible twists and turns but it's just the way it is. When it seems too much, running away from it , will only let you end up with regret at never taking a chance, give it your all and push away the insecurities and fears and push forward and go with the flow.

I highly recommend this read for all fans of romance reads. The read had loads of crazy sexy fun mixed with a good dose of old fashioned realistic emotion. Stefanie London brought her own very unique style-anality to this read and I will be eagerly awaiting her next book. Passionate, sexy as all heck and the perfect read to let you know life has pitfalls but there is always a way to get back up.  Watch out world Stefanie London has arrived !!
