From NY Times and USA Today bestselling author, J. Daniels, an Alabama Summer series novella.

Ben and Mia Kelly can’t seem to catch a break.

Grueling night shift and opposing schedules have left the passionate couple geared up and ready for some much needed alone time. There’s only one thing standing in their way.

Parenthood.

With two curious boys who have mastered the art of cock-blocking roaming the house, Ben and Mia, sexually frustrated beyond reason, quickly resort to surprise sexcapades and naughty little trysts whenever and however they can get them.

Who said anything about keeping things legal?

Assume the position. Things are about to heat up in the south.

Warning: This book is recommended for readers over the age of 18 due to strong language and explicit sexual content.


MY REVIEW:
**** 4 STARS

I can actually say I liked this book much more than the first one, maybe because I had already fell in love with the characters and I got to explore much more of them. Here we get to see their married life and how they deal with parenthood and also with being a couple. I think the events played in the book were pretty real and they're something that happens to a lot of married couples with children and everything was described with humour and also with love and urgency too. 
My favourite thing about this series, and specially about Where I Belong and Where We Belong is Nolan, I love that kid so freaking much. I adore Nolan's relationship with Mia, since their first moment together. And this is personal, but I love that Mia is a real mom to him, 'cause I would have love that my mom's ex-husband would have been a real dad to me and put me first before his needs and not compete with me for my mom's love. Mia is not like that at all and I love how giving she is. 
Also, I really liked that sex here was presented as an issue. That they struggle to have a healthy sexual life now that they have kids and are married. It's very real and somehow at the same time it's not all about the sex just for the sake of it, but it's because they love and miss each other and sex is their way of connecting in the most deep way and show each other that love. 
I still think I would have like more character development, specially in Mia's case, I don't know about her dreams as an individual and not only just as a mom and married woman,  but I guess it's what it is. I still liked the book a lot! :)

1. Addicted Series (Calloway Sisters included) by Krista & Becca Ritchie 

 Source: kbritchie.com

 This series is amazing, New Adult and it starts getting on the Adult category as the books come out, the characters go growing up in age and in character development and you go right along with them. 

The first book is Addicted to You, and here's a little review I made on Goodreads, I don't know if I'll make a bigger review of this, but here's a little something for you: 

I didn't think much of this book at first, I mean a sex addict and an alcoholic... It didn't call to me and I was even reluctant to read it, but I took the chance and I'm thankful for it. At first it was ok I guess, I just 'saw' the actions of the characters and wonder to myself the why's and when's of their addictions, and honestly, there was a point where I said: dude, this seems that doesn't have any good end... But as I read it I understood that in just one book their issues wouldn't come to conclusion and at the end of the book I was so riled up and breathing hard, like my heart was literally being squeezed by their feelings and the events in the book. I even cried. So for turning a book where I was expecting just shit into something so much more meaningful for me (because sometime there I really felt a connection) I rated it 5 stars. 

The rest of the book, keeps up where we left off the first one, we get to know more characters and see how this story evolves to something more than just the tale of a sex addict and an alcoholic, there's this bunch of people who becomes family in the books and every one of them deals with their own issues while always being there for each other. And there's plenty of sexy times too ;) 

If you're interested in this series, you can get them here. Also the rest of the series Calloway Sisters, can be found on that page, as well as the descriptions of each book. 

 2. Scorched by Jennifer L. Armentrout 

This is a beautiful story about dealing with life, with personal and emotional issues and how you overcome them. It's about growing up by knowing yourself and when you need help, specially help from yourself. It's New Adult and I recommend it to all girls and boys who have dealt with some mental health issues such as addictions, depression or anxiety, among others, and need to hope that there's still some kind of happy ending out there, and it begins with ourselves :) 

Link to the book, here. 

3. Moonlight on Nightingale Way by Samantha Young.

It's the end of an era! The end of the great On Dublin Street Series, adult and with lots of romance, sex, and personal stories that are written so well they keep you on edge and you can feel the chemistry between the characters as it you were one of them. This book was the perfect ending of this series and I rated them 5 stars on Goodreads and Amazon, they were awesome, I just can't add anything more substantial or objective because I love them! 

 Check them out, here.

 Bonus!!! Sweet Addiction by J. Daniels

This one's about a beautiful and independent woman who falls for the alpha male. Yes, those macho men who you love, or hate to love but can't avoid it, they're just too hot and you secretly wish some lover could care about you obsessively much, and you'd totally returned the feeling given the sex is awesome but also because that person completes a part of yourself you didn't even knew existed or that it was incomplete. Also, there are a lot of treats and frosting involved, wink wink! 

Check the book and the rest of the series here.

That's it for now folks, hope you like my recommendations for you and if you pick any of these books I really wish you enjoy them as much as I did! P.S. I'm really sorry if there's some grammatical and orthographic errors, I'm really trying to be the best on my English, but I'm still learning everyday :)
