Josie has always been the ultimate forbidden fruit.
When I first laid eyes on her, she was a tempting, wet dream that just appeared in my home.
That sounds perfect, but she was there as my son’s girlfriend. It also made her completely off limits.
It still didn’t stop me from tasting her.
One touch, one taste wrapped up in a stolen moment that never should have happened marked me for life.
She’s my guilty secret that I’ve privately been obsessed with. I mean hell, it’s been years and I still think about her.
Now, she’s back.
She’s single, but not for long.
This time there’s nothing to keep me from claiming her, forever.
This is the third book in the Men in Charge series, each book is a complete stand alone, the one common denominator? An alpha Hero, a man that goes after what he wants, a guaranteed happily ever after, and of course steamy romance!

My thoughts:  

 Secret Obsession is an age gap romance.  I didn't feel like the age gap felt that wide because Trace seemed a lot younger than he actually was.  I thought this was an OK romance.  The connection between Trace and Josie was very strong.  I think my biggest complaint is that they didn't seem to spend a lot of time outside of the bedroom.  At least on page.  I would have like to see more interaction in day to day life.   I did like how Trace was firm with his son.  He was very spoiled and needed to grow up.  It's a quick read, so give it a shot.

Review: Staking His Claim by Tory Baker

Author: Tory Baker
Publication Date: March 2023

I want the one woman I should never touch.

Tulsa Rose has gone through hell and back.
We have a complicated history, becoming her guardian after a family tragedy is only the tip of the iceberg.
I sent her away.
It was the right thing to do, even if she felt like I turned my back on her.
The truth is, she was a temptation I couldn’t have.
She was way too young.

Now she’s home, ten years later.
I want her more now than I ever did.
Too bad she hates me.
It doesn’t matter.
I’m not walking away from her again.
She belongs to me, she always has.
I’m staking my claim once and for all.

Staking His Claim is the second book in the Men in Charge series.  It is a complete stand alone from the first book, so you don't have to have read that one to read this one.  This one is Tulsa Rose and Ledger's story.    I thought this was another sweet yet steamy romance.  I enjoyed getting to know the characters and thought their chemistry was perfect.  One of the things I appreciated was that the story takes place ten years after the prologue.  I liked that Tulsa had time to spread her wings and gain  maturity out in the world before she came back home.  Their second chance relationship was better for it.  

There is not must angst, which I appreciated.  Toward the end there are two other relationships mentioned and I would love to get a peek into their stories, especially Nelly's.  Her back story kept being hinted at, but we never get to hear it.  Maybe in the future this author will give us her story. I do recommend this one.

She was always the one who got away.
 
Rosaleigh caught my eyes from the beginning, but I didn't make my move.
She was too young.
Unfortunately, my best friend didn't have the same morals.
It killed me, watching from a distance as he disrespected the woman who was always meant to be mine.
 
When she finally discovers the truth about him, all bets are off.
I'm done holding back.
I make my move, read to prove she has a real man now—one who will have her back and give her the life she deserves.
 
I won't let anything stop me.
She's not getting away again.
I'm going to make her mine.

My thoughts:

Make Her Mine is the first book in the Men in Charge series.  This one involves Rosaleigh and Phoenix (Nix).  I thought this one was a very sweet, yet very steamy romance.  Nix has been in love with Rosaleigh for years.  Now that she is back on her feet after her husband left her, he is determined to make her his.  I was really rooting for this couple.  Rosaleigh had so much weighing on her and she deserved to find some happiness.  I loved the relationship that Nix had with her daughters. It felt genuine and was just so sweet.  I do recommend this one and look forward to the next in the series.
