Caution : Filling is hot by Tara Mills

Reviewed by Desere

This was one of the most fun reads ever! A set of twins dead set on bringing two people together, add in their grandmother to help.

And the very unsuspecting couple each trying to do their own mix of flirting with pleasure and avoiding contact.

The book had all kinds of super hot romance, fun and totally off the hook craziness that had me laughing out loud, which was no surprise as this author is one that knows how to not only tickle your funny bone but, send it into a full blown can't stop laughing, tears streaming down your face, my insides hurt mode.

I adored the super hot attraction between Chad and Piper. The author created spectacular, realistic characters and blended in loads of totally awesome extra's.

I am not going to reveal much more than that, all I will add is go and get this book as in NOW! You will not be sorry. The book has everything a romance reader can ask for and a bonus of just how hot, dangerous and mixed up the filling of life can get, when we slap together our very own recipe for love.

Fun, flirtatious, hot, passionate and simply delicious!

Intimate Strangers by Tara Mills

Reviewed by Desere 

I am sure there are many of us that have at some stage have been happy in love and the thought of falling for another seems completely unlikely.

Yet it can and does happen every now and then. You look at the person you're with and then look at the other person that has you in knots and you have to chose.

Do you go for the safe option by sticking with the love of your life, or do you follow the excitement and thrill of a newer love?

In this very short but oh so powerful read author Tara Mills shows just how complicated it can get when you have to make that very choice.

Only the story does not play out the way you would think. The book had many twists and turns, for some readers this might be a bit of a let down as the more twists and turns a book has the more complicated it can get.

But for me this is exactly what I loved about the book. The more twists and turns showed up the more it kept me interested and the more fascinating it became. It also showed the book and the characters as very realistic.

As we all know in real life things always has twists and turns that you cannot predict and yes sometimes it can be a pain but it also adds to the thrill of life.

The author did a magnificent job at taking a story of love and turning it into a action filled, thrilling adventure. I am taking away a message of when life throws you to the sharks , don't panic instead go with it. You will end up exactly where you are meant to be.

I recommend this read for all fans of short, powerful attention holding, kick-ass reads!

Accidents make the heart grow fonder by Tara Mills

Reviewed by Desere 

We have all seen those commercials where the woman is jogging and has the good looking butt and then the guy in the car comes driving along and cannot stop staring and BANG he smashes his car.

But have you ever thought that this is what could happen to woman too? I certainly never have, but in this read from the brilliant Tara Mills it does and my oh my it's so funny I laughed over and over.

But it did not stop there, the read goes on to be without a doubt the funniest thing I have ever had the pleasure of reading no wait that would be listen as I had the pleasure of this being my very first audio book ever!

I laughed so hard that yes people stopped and stared I even got a lot of " Are you all there ?" looks pointed in my direction and you know what I could have cared less! The read was so worth the stares. 

The book tells of Sabrina and how she is more than just losing it, anything and everything is going wrong, you name it and it goes to heck! 

So smashing her car whilst checking out the nice buns on Jackson, is just the beginning and of course in true Tara Mills fashion Sabrina smashing her car is not the only thing that crashes, nope poor Jackson goes down too! But that is the least of Sabrina's embarrassing worries, believe me it gets much worse and so much funnier!

If however you are thinking this read is all fun and games you're wrong. The author also incorporated a lot of bittersweet emotional and heartfelt moments for Sabrina and Jackson. The combination of funny and bittersweet made the read one of the most perfect of it's kind that I have read in a long time. That is all I am giving away for now, because believe me you want to read this, no you need to read this book! 

I highly recommend this book for EVERYONE! It has loads of humor for the comic in you, enough bittersweet romance for that special romance side and enough twists and turns ( that btw you will never see coming) to keep you glued to your seat or as in my case permanently attached to my headset! 

And yes be prepared to be given the crazy stare for once you start this read there is no turning back, laughing, tears, erratic reactions, crazy pulling out your hair, riveting stuff! 

If you are feeling down or simply in need of some fun romance this is the read to do the trick!

Keep them coming Tara it ROCKS!!

Falling by Tara Mills

Reviewed by Desere 


Falling is a 15 page read from the very talented author Tara Mills. It tells the short story of Meredith and how one one clear crisp morning her peaceful silence is interrupted by the sounds of her very sexy neighbor Garret using a leave blower to clear his yard, but of course she does not appreciate the interruption nor that his leaves are now strewn all over her yard.

As can be expected she takes him on about it, but soon finds that in front of her is not a torn in her side but her future staring back at her.

Although this is a short read the author really lets the message of "When the feeling comes you will know" shine through. We have all reached a moment in time when we just know that we are looking or seeing our future, it could be a house, a car or in the case of this read the person you are meant to spend your life with.

I liked that the author shows that Meredith went through some trial and error in life before getting to where she needs to be. I would of course have liked the book to be slightly longer but at the end of the day I get that the author wanted to relay a message of how strong feelings can be when the moment hits and that a strong connection is sometimes all we need to know we have found what we have been waiting for.

A very nice and sweet little read. Well done Tara!

If You Want Me by Tara Mills

Imagine having the woman of your dreams in sight, you take aim but before you can fire your best friend shoots first and sticks to landing and the woman of your dreams is now his arms and seeing her happy is all that matters, so you back down for years.

You hang around to very discretely make sure she is okay and that your so called best friend doesn't hurt her, all the while keeping your love a secret, waiting for the opportune moment and once finally in your reach you grab it with both hands, only she needs a night of wild sex and nothing more how can you convince her that you want it all?

This is the situation that Ryan faces for years he has wanted Naomi so when she calls him up for a one night stand he is over there in a flash, no man can resist having the woman of his dreams finally in his arms and the start of something take form, but the next day Naomi makes sure to have her best friend Becky intervene and keep Ryan away and all because she knows she is ready to jump his bones again at any minute but she is not so sure Ryan wants full time so why start something that will surely end up in heartache. But Ryan has other plans, now that the woman is in his arms he will do anything to keep her there.
The character of Naomi was really cool as I thought the author showed through Naomi's actions that we all hit a point where it is all too much and we get a little lost but that hitting that low is not always a bad thing, sometimes it gives us the courage to grab what we really want, but afterwards our minds clear and the doubts set in. We over think everything about what we have just done. The key to remember is how vital communication is towards those we set our actions to during our low point.

The character of Ryan was super hot and so adorably sweet he melted my heart from page one! The author showed that he is the type of man we very little see or hear about, the kind that has such a good heart that they would do anything to ensure the happiness of those they love even if it means killing their own feelings along the way. I loved, loved, loved how the author let him hit the point of no return and gave him the courage to take what he wanted when the time was right.

The backdrop settings blended with the storyline very nicely, it all being set during a wedding gave the perfect romance feel, even the pool scene mirrored the reflecting of both Ryan and Naomi's life. The dialogue was hot, spicy, sexy, sensual and delivered a pack on every page.

I am taking away a message of communication is vital when you want to make your dreams come true, making your feelings known might not end with you in the arms of the one you love but if you don't take that chance you will never know.

I highly recommend this read for each and every single romance fan out there. It was short and sweet filled with loads of spice, tension and so super hot the pages practically took flame!  The perfect one hour escape to hot, passionate romance!

Friends&Lovers by Tara Mills

Reviewed by Desere

Abuse is a word very often never said simply because it involves too much hurt, anger, embarrassment, betrayal and for those reasons many prefer to rather look the other way.

But if you take the time to stop and think what a huge impact it has on the lives of the victims and their families, you will find that just like you they hurt and will give anything to find help before it is too late. What if it was your daughter, sister or mother taking physical abuse over and over, would you turn your back if you were able to help?So why look the other way when it is a stranger?

Helping anyone though will take a courageous, strong, confident and willing to fight for the cause kind of person. One such person is Lauren, as long as she lives she will fight to ensure that no other woman ends up the way her sister and nephew did.

Running the woman's shelter keeps her busy and her mind off from together-we-will-burn-up-the-sheets Wes, her high-school crush and ultimate fantasy that fills her thoughts when work is not there to act as distraction. Until the fantasy comes walking into her office and straight back into her heart. She never revealed her feelings for him 15 years ago and she certainly does not plan on doing so now. The man is afterall strip 'em, do 'em and walk away material.

However, Wes has other plans, he has come back into town not only to settle down and start a life, but to get Lauren into his bed and keep her there, she will simply not get away this time. But once he gets her into bed and finds the nightmares she lives with, he realises he will not only need to protect her from the one that haunts her at night but save her from herself and a life of depression, not to mention the madman about to take her from his life.

The character of Lauren was brilliant! I loved that the author let Lauren use her own personal tragedy to light a better path for woman that cannot. I could understand that she also uses it to try and block out the memories of pain and this being the reasoning behind her rather less than fabulous appearance. It made her very realistic as in real life when we hit a low point we do tend to fall into a pattern of doing everything to stay busy,we get up and go on but only in body and never in spirit leaving behind the other everyday things such as taking the time to doll up.

The character of Wes, was simply put terrific! He had the charm and ease of a badboy yet also the heart of a true prince. I simply could not get enough of him being so gentle with Lauren whilst at the same time pushing her to the limits to help her through her issues. It was as if I was reading about the perfect man, in touch with the heroine's feelings and thus knowing when to push and how far but also in touch with the gentleness she required to ensure she crawls out from the deep, dark whole she is buried under.

The backdrop settings were vivid and stunningly described, with each hurdle Wes and Lauren face the author ensured that the backdrop matched to perfection, action packed or passionate it all fit together beautifully. The dialogue gave me everything I want from a good romance read, it had passionate words of love and adoration of want and need, words of emotion so strong it brought me to tears and the action filled scenes where lives were in danger was packed with strong and adrenalin rush words and completely in tune with what was playing out. I adored watching Wes and Lauren's relationship blossom, it was totally awesome and so well written, the author ensured that the story did not drag on and on, everything moved at a fantastic fast pace and not once was I bored, truly nice job Tara!

I am taking away a message of life has it's up's and it's downs. Sometimes the down's are hard to get over, but when you go down always remember those who care for you don't push them away. And most importantly never keep your love for someone hidden take the risk for you never know you might find yourself lying in their arms safe, secure and truly living the dream.

I highly recommend this read for all fans of romance. The read was sensual, sexy, passionate, emotional, heart-warming, action packed and the author delivered just the right amount of each to keep me on the edge of my seat, a real kick ass read!

And best of all delivered one of the most powerful messages I have received from a romance read in a long time, abuse towards any other human is never to be excused and never to be hidden instead do all you can to help for one day it might be you.

I truly look forward to more reads from this author, am certain they will offer up the same realistic link I simply love!
