As the
final blog posting for the year, I’ve decided to give you all my top 14 books
of 2014. It took me quite a while to
compile this list since I have read so many amazing books that I just couldn’t
seem to put down and found myself up many nights until all hours of the
morning. These are just a few of the books that I kept checking my Kindle for
or broke out of One-Click Jail to purchase! I hope you enjoy my little list and
please if anything happens to jump out at you support our wonderful Indie
Author’s and click on the book covers to purchase the book. It’s been an
amazing year here for us at All is Read and we hope you all have a safe,
healthy, and Happy New Year!!

14. Idle Bloom
by Jewel E. Ann
This is
one book that I can definitely say would be a great pick to one-click and curl
up with…. Oh and make sure to have a box of tissues ready just in case. Vivian
and Oliver are wonderfully written characters and I loved the fact that the
book is also based in Boston, being from MA myself a lot of the areas mentioned
are familiar and I have been to most of them.

13. Hudson
by Shayne McClendon
Hudson is an Alpha Male to a T….
Demanding, intense, controlling, and aware of what is happening around him at
all times in all aspects of his world. That is until a little ball of fire
named Gabriella puts him into his place within minutes of meeting him. What
happens next is a relationship that was unexpected. Shayne is a brilliant writer and I am glad to
say I own quite a few of her stories, the first being The Barter System
(another must read!!) She put enough twists and turns into the story but it
makes you feel like you’re sliding between traffic on a busy street seamlessly.

12. Life’s Perfect Moments
by S.H. Pratt
I absolutely LOVED this book!! S.H.
Pratt knows how to write a story that reels you in hook, line, and sinker. I
was sucked into this book immediately and could not stop reading until I had
finished it. Madi has endured a lot in her life but has always loved Logan, a
fact she hides because she is afraid of being rejected. Logan, oh sweet sweet Logan he is the perfect
hero of sorts, sweet, understanding, and patient when it comes to Madi’s
fragility. This book holds plenty of angst, sweetness, adventure, toss in an
obnoxious ex that you want to slap senseless and some hot as hell scenes here
and there you end up with a perfect read!!

11. Sugar Rush
by Belle Aurora
I discovered Belle Aurora’s Friend
Zoned shortly after falling into the world of Indie books and have never looked
back. I love this series and Sugar Rush
is the 3rd book to come out. Max’s story is right up in line with
Nik and Asher’s, comical yet sweet. I really have enjoyed all of Belle’s
stories … Twitch and RAW seem to be the most well known of her characters and
books, I have also noticed he has made the lists of my sweet friends. I am
definitely recommending that you all check out the comical side of her writing.

10. Until Lilly by
Aurora Rose Reynolds
I love Aurora’s writing style and she
definitely does not disappoint with the dominant men. Cash is one of 4 brothers
that own a construction company who happens to meet Lilly at a coffee shop and
they hit it off. The happy couple meet that damn evil monkey wrench and they
split up. Years later they run into each other and the pull that was there
seems to have never left. This book was amazing and honestly the whole Until
Series is too...., hell everything Aurora writes I snag up and dive right on in.

9. Throttle Me
by Chelle Bliss
Holy Hell this book was hot!! I will
fully admit that I totally licked the cover, City is just that damn tasty…. Suzy and City are opposite in every way and
just happen to end up in each other’s lives when he comes upon her on the side
of the road with her broken down car. What happens next is an amazing, hot, and
steamy ride that neither of them expected or wanted. This was the start of the
Men of Inked series and the subsequent books are just as awesome!

8. Reapers Legacy
by Joanna Wylde
This is the second book in the
Reapers Motorcycle Club Series and it did not disappoint. We meet Ruger,
Sophie, and Noah, Ruger’s nephew. Ruger
and Sophie have known each other for 8 years seeing as his step brother Zach is
Noah’s father. Zach is a total deadbeat
and Ruger is always helping Sophie out when she needs it. He is a hot, tatted,
pierced, take no BS, bad boy biker who oozes self-confidence and is literally
sex on legs. Oh and
I absolutely loved Sophie, she is
opinionated and stands her own ground. I love this series and can’t wait for
the next books that come out of Joanna’s amazing mind!!

7. Weak For Him
by Lyra Parish
I have not been able to get the name
Finnley Felton out of my noggin after reading this book! Jennifer and Finnley
have a rather interesting relationship and I’m a sucker for a dark haired man
with jade green eyes so…. this was a match made in heaven for me at least. I
can’t forget to mention the other dreamboat in the series Luketon…. Wowza!!! Lyra
was able to weave a crazy web with this story, it grabs you and won’t let go. This
is a must grab!

5. Save Me From Myself
by Stacey Mosteller
David and Lyric’s story… Each has had
heartache and while one is left to pick up all the pieces of their life the
other runs away to avoid it all and start over.
I’m still swooning over David… he is definitely drool worthy!! This was
Stacey’s debut and she has not slowed down yet already having 4 books in the
series published and more to come soon.

4. Love’s Suicide
by Jennifer Foor
This was the book that made me ugly
cry this year…. It was heart wrenching at times but such an awesome read.
Brooks and Katy broke my heart, then pasted it back together. I wish there were
more guys out there like Brooks and that I had one!!! I love Jenn’s books and
have read them all but I think this one right here may just be my favorite!!

3. Rock My Body
by Michelle Valentine
Michelle’s Black Falcon Series was my
introduction to the indie world. I bought Rock the Heart and immediately
devoured it, while in the process I happened to meet my first book boyfriend
Tyke Douglas. This book was a
bittersweet release for me since it marks the end of the series but I was
thrilled to finally have Tyke’s story in my little hands and I only seemed to
fall deeper for him the more I read. This is definitely one of my insta- click
Authors and I recommend her books to everyone!!

2. Fully Automatic
by Jade C. Jamison
I stumbled across Jade’s book Bullet
early on in my Indie introduction, actually it was the second Indie book that I
purchased! Once I started reading it I knew there was no stopping and was up
until the wee hours of the morning. It was during this read that I found yet
another book boyfriend, Brad Payne. 3 books into the series later Brad’s side
of the story was written and Fully Automatic was born. I one clicked this bad
boy so quickly I think I left a smoke trail LOL. Jade has an assortment of
stories that are must reads in my opinion, and is another of my insta- click
Authors who I will pimp out to anyone that will listen.

Vengeance is Mine
by Kasey Millstead!!
Oh what can
I say about this wonderful Author that won’t sound like I’m a babbling fool or
a stalker…. Every book that I have picked up by Kasey this year has been
awesome! From her downright sexy Down Under Cowboy series to her stand alones
like Fighting to Stay or the amazing Vengeance is Mine she consistently has
given the reading world a kick ass library that should not be passed up. This sweet,
sweet Aussie has an amazing flair for writing and I’m so glad that I stumbled
upon the sign up to review Cowboy Town. (Thank you in more ways than one
Jackson Henley!!)
