In My Mailbox is something was

Story Siren and I think it’s
pretty awesome. It’s a way to showcase the books that you gotten through
different places. Books you gotten in the mail, brought from a store, borrowed
from the library, received to write a review, or they can be
in eBook form. Here's a link to see how it all started.

Boyfriend From Hell (Fallen
Angels #1) by
E. Van Lowe
Fifteen year-old Megan
Barnett and her single mom, Suze, have a special relationship—they are friends,
close friends, who do almost everything together.
“But come on, guys, she’s my mother… Can I really tell her that while we’re snuggled up on the sofa watching Spider Man Three, I’m secretly undressing James Franco with my eyes? Of course not…”
“But come on, guys, she’s my mother… Can I really tell her that while we’re snuggled up on the sofa watching Spider Man Three, I’m secretly undressing James Franco with my eyes? Of course not…”
The special bond takes a turn for the worse when Suze decides to start
dating again. She hasn’t had a man in her life since Megan’s father left ten
years ago.
Enter two mysterious young men, Megan’s new classmate, sinfully attractive bad boy, Guy Matson, and the dangerously handsome art dealer, Armando. Before long Megan and Suze both wind up in steamy relationships.

But
neither of the handsome pair is quite what he seems. In fact, one of them is
Satan, with his sights set on a new bride. Megan has precious little time to
figure out how to stop him. If she doesn’t, either Megan or Suze are quite
literally going to HELL.
I was looking for a book about celebrities
falling for other regular. A friend of mine recommend the next series and I got
them and I loved them all. I read all of the books super fast.
It Had to Be You (Chicago Stars #1) by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
The Windy City isn't
quite ready for Phoebe Somerville -- the outrageous, curvaceous New York
knockout who has just inherited the Chicago Stars football team. And Phoebe is definitely not prepared for the Stars'
head coach Dan Celebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. Celebow
is everything Phoebe abhors. And the sexy new boss is everything Dan despises -
a meddling bimbo who doesn't know a pigskin from a pitcher's mound.
So why is he drawn to the shameless sexpot like a heat-seeking missile? And why does the coach's good ol' boy charm leave cosmopolitan Phoebe feeling awkward, tongue-tied...and ready to fight?

off his mind or out of his life. Instead, the hell-raising playboy decides to
make her over from plain Jane to Texas wildcat.
But nothing's more dangerous than a
wildcat with an angel's heart in a town too small for a bad boy to hide. And
all hell breaks loose when two unforgettable people discover love, laughter,
passion -- and a match that can only be made in Heaven.

Molly
Somerville loves her career as the creator of the Daphne the Bunny children's
book series, but the rest of her life could use some improvement. She has a
reputation for trouble that started even before she gave away her
fifteen-million-dollar inheritance. Then there's her long-term crush on the
quarterback for the Chicago Stars football team her sister owns—that awful,
gorgeous Kevin Tucker, a man who can't even remember Molly's name!
One night Kevin barges into Molly's not-quite-perfect
life and turns it upside down. Unfortunately, the Ferrari-driving riving,
poodle-hating jock isn't as shallow as she wishes he were, and she soon finds
herself at a place called Wind Lake. Surrounded by paintbox cottages, including
a charming old bed-and-breakfast, Molly and Kevin battle their attraction and
each other as they face one of life's most important lessons. Sometimes love
hurts, sometimes it makes you mad as hell, and sometimes—if you're lucky—it can
heal in a most unexpected way.

going to change now that she's taken over her late grandmother's matchmaking

True, she's entertaining, and she does have a certain quirky appeal. But Heath is searching for the ultimate symbol of success -- the perfect wife.

Natural Born Charmer (Chicago
Stars #7) by
Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Chicago Stars quarterback
Dean Robillard is the luckiest man in the world: a bona-fide sports superstar
and the pride of the NFL with a profitable side career as a buff billboard
model for End Zone underwear. But life in the glory lane has started to pale,
and Dean has set off on a cross-country trip to figure out what's gone wrong.
When he hits a lonely stretch of Colorado highway, he spies something that will
shake up his gilded life in ways he can't imagine. A young woman . . . dressed
in a beaver suit.
Blue
Bailey is on a mission to murder her ex. Or at least inflict serious damage. As
for the beaver suit she's wearing . . . Is it her fault that life keeps
throwing her curveballs? Witness the expensive black sports car pulling up next
to her on the highway and the Greek god stepping out of it.
Blue's
career as a portrait painter is the perfect job for someone who refuses to stay
in one place for very long. She needs a ride, and America's most famous
football player has an imposing set of wheels. Now, all she has to do is keep
him entertained, off guard, and fully clothed before he figures out exactly how
desperate she is.
But
Dean isn't the brainless jock she imagines, and Blue--despite her petite
stature--is just about the toughest woman Dean has ever met. They're soon
heading for his summer home where their already complicated lives and
inconvenient attraction to each other will become entangled with a charismatic
but aging rock star; a beautiful fifty-two-year-old woman trying to make peace
with her rock and roll past; an eleven-year-old who desperately needs a family;
and a bitter old woman who hates them all.
As
the summer progresses, the wandering portraitartist and the charming football
star play a high-stakes game, fighting themselves and each other for a chance
to have it all.

Motor City Mage (Urban Arcana #4) by Cindy Spencer Pape
As
a cop who keeps paranormals in line, Des has a hard time trusting them. So why
does he want the beautiful werewolf Lana more than his next breath? She's
mouthy, flamboyant and distractingly sexy-not the type of woman for a reserved
mage like him. Lana admires Des, but she can't be with someone who won't take
her seriously, no matter how much she'd love to rip off his dress shirt.
When a dangerous new drug shows up in Detroit, Des must
locate the source, and Lana is determined to help. But their plan goes awry,
trapping them in a demon dimension. To return home, Lana and Des must flee
through a series of unpredictable alternate realities, fighting enemies while
trying to shut down the drug trade. But if they're going to survive, they'll
have to rely on each other, even though getting closer will add fuel to a fire
that's already burning out of control...

she’s not thrilled…even if he is fairly gorgeous and knows his way around a
toolbox.
Having to fend for herself financially for the first time in her life, Parker signs on as a florist’s assistant and starts to find out who she really is. Maybe James isn’t the glib lawyer she always thought he was. And maybe the house isn’t the only thing that needs a little TLC…

In order to protect myself, I’ve

Now I’m faced with a terrible
choice: follow the rules or follow my heart.
