Hard Code by Misha Bell (Anna Zaires, Dima Zales)

This book is about a woman named Fanny who wants to work in development and create her own apps but to do this she has to get a transfer from her job in the testing department. When she's asked to test sex toys she thinks she has it all figured out but when her testers bow out she decides to test them herself. When she needs to find a man to help her test out some of the toys she ends up recruiting her big boss and hilarity ensues! 

This book was a lot of fun! I loved Fanny and Vlad. They were both so different from each other but they worked so well together. I loved Vlad's quirky Russian family and Fanny's parents. I loved the testing of the toys it lead to so many funny situations that had me laughing out loud. I loved Vlad's brother Alex and his company and would love to find out more about him. And of course Vlad's sister Bella was also a very interesting character that I want to find out more about. Fanny's best friend Ava was so funny. All the characters are a hoot! I loved Fanny and Vlad's guinea pigs they were so adorable. There really isn't anything about this book that I didn't love. The plot is hilarious the characters are funny and have depth and the sex is hot hot hot! Definitely recommend this book if you like funny plots and hot sex!

The X-Club: A Krinar Exposé Prologue by Anna Zaires

Wow and wtf? this was sooooo good but so short it would have made an amazing full length novel with that said I hope the wonderful Anna Zaires decides to continue this story in the future. Amy is a journalist ready to prove that she can write more than silly articles and sets off to find out about X-Clubs (clubs where people go to meet Krinars and lots of unmentionable things happen). She ends up in an x-club with her coworker and friend Jay and they both have a crazy night with some K's. The story ends on a cliffhanger and leaves you wanting to find out more about what happens to Amy and her K, Vair and also find out what Jay's night consisted of. All in all a nice little story but it feels like it should be a teaser for a new novel because of the cliffhanger ending. Will Amy and Vair and maybe even Jay and his K's get their own full length stories? I sure hope so! This world still has a lot for us readers to discover.

Claim Me (Capture Me 3) by Anna Zaires

This was another awesome ending to an amazing series. I loved that Yulia and Lucas finally started to talk to each and really get to know each other. I loved the parts with Yulia and her brother, and how they both had to deal with the way their lives had turned out. I kept waiting for the shit to go bad near the end, and I was totally not expecting what happened. Things end well so that's good. Hot sex, great story, awesome characters. Loved seeing some of the events of Nora and Julian's trip to Chicago from Lucas' point of view that was nice. The bonus scene about Julian and Nora was also great. Can't wait to read whatever stories come next from Anna Zaires.

Bind Me (Capture Me 2) by Anna Zaires

** spoiler alert ** 

This book was awesome. After reading Capture me I had to know what happened next with Yulia and Kent. In this book we get to see Yulia and Kent getting to know each other, she's still his prisoner but he's starting to have feelings for her and so is she. But of course they won't admit that to each other or themselves. Lucas tries to show Yulia that he cares for her but he can't get over the fact that she won't be honest with him and why should she? She wants his affection to be real but she can't take any chance because her brother's life is at stake. The story was so frustrating to me because they were both confused about the person Yulia is trying to protect. He thinks she's still in love with a past lover and she thinks he'd be cruel wanting to kill her brother. But they are both so wrong! I kept saying to myself Yulia tell him! Although she tried and he shut her down she could have just blurted it out and he would have listened. Instead she chooses to escape (after Rosa helps her, I felt like Rosa was kind of a bitch in this book) and all based on miscommunication and jealousy. I sure as hell hope Lucas finds Yulia and figures out she's trying to protect her brother and not an ex-lover. Because as unlikely as the relationship between Nora and Julian was it's the same between Yulia and Kent I feel they should be together.

Capture Me (Capture Me 1) by Anna Zaires

I loved this book! It was so cool to get to see some of the events of Hold Me from Lucas and Yulia's point of view. I felt so bad for the things that happened to Yulia. I really wanted Lucas to be nice to her and see that she's not the one to blame. I felt a kind of Julian-Nora vibe coming from Lucas and Yulia I think I could see them both being together. A great book but the ending killed me! Right in the middle of a hot scene the books ends! I can't wait to find out what happens in book 2!

Titan's Addiction (Wall Street Titan 2) by Anna Zaires

This book was great I couldn't put it down! I loved seeing how Marcus and Emma's relationship evolved through so many ups and downs and Marcus' craziness. The ending had me gasping and happy that they finally get their HEA. A really fun read.

Wall Street Titan (Wall Street Titan 1) by Anna Zaires

Why oh why does Wall Street Titan have a cliffhanger! Lol there were some fifty shades of Grey vibes near the end of the book lol 😃 I really enjoyed it. Emma and Marcus were an interesting couple like fire and water meeting and not quite knowing what to make of each other. Emma was lovable but there's definitely more in her past that's shaped who she is and affects the decisions she makes so I'm excited to find out what that is in the next book. Marcus seemed like a guy with a chip on his shoulder and that his reasons for wanting Emma aren't necessarily for love but more because of obsession so we'll see how that goes. All in all an enjoyable read with a cliffhanger that will have me anticipating the next book's release!

Destiny Mine (Tormentor Mine 3) by Anna Zaires

Christine's review Jul 05, 2018 · edit This book was crazy! So many ups and downs. I loved that we got to see Lucas and Julian. Peter is still just as dangerous and violent as the previous books but his obsession, I mean love for Sara is off the charts in this book. Everything that happens in the book is just so out there and there's never a dull moment the story is always exciting. The chemistry and relationship between Sara and Peter is twisted but so was Julian and Nora's and Lucas and Yulia's. The ending was very unexpected but makes me excited for the next book! I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Obsession Mine (Tormentor Mine 2) by Anna Zaires

Peter has finally taken action and kidnapped Sara. Unaware that she is being taken from her home she wakes to find herself on the way to her new prison, a safe house Peter owns on an island in Japan that is only accessible by helicopter. While Sara struggles to get used to her new home Peter continues to jobs and search for the last man on his list. Sara begins to have conflicting feelings for Peter she loves and hates him at the same time but can she find a way to escape him and return to her old life? Or will Peter keep her captive and win her heart? 

 This book was great! I'm so happy to be reading more about Sara and Peter. I loved getting to know the guys a little better, I loved that Sara is struggling with the fact that she should hate Peter even though she kind of likes him. All the jobs were fun to read about and I grew attached to Peter's men and was sad when I thought one might have died. I loved seeing Lucas and Yulia that was really fun to revisit them. I couldn't believe what Peter was trying to do to Sara I don't want to give any spoilers but Sara is sooo not on board with that and she still longs to return home. This book was just great, I love where Anna's mind goes and how each book takes the reader somewhere new, there is always a cliffhanger or an even that is unexpected and keeps me reading. Another great addition.
