ARC REVIEW Heart of a Bad Boy by Sugar Jamison

Sugar Jamison wraps up the Destiny series with Levi and Shelly's story. Until you get to the epilogue of this story it doesn't matter in which order you read it. Bad Boy CEO and Betting on the Bad Boy are pretty much reversible and I would say it about Heart of a Bad Boy but the epilogue is kind of the piece de resistance, it was the closure for the series. However can I see another Destiny book outside the King family, yes; and I hope we get one.

Levi and Shelly have been best friends since Levi moved in next door. Two unlikely friends one of those bad King boys and the Church Deacon daughter. But never the less, through thick and thin and although apart for the last 13 years they have been close. Shelly know Levi is a playboy all she has to do is look in the media and see he's with a different girl, girls who are the completely different from her, but it doesn't stop her from loving him. When Levi gets called back home the first place he goes is to see Shelly. Shelly's father is out of state on a much needed vacation while he is gone Shelly decides that she is going to do all the stuff she could never do with her father here, and lucky enough Levi is here to help corrupt her, I mean help her.
Thirteen years with out seeing his best friend and Levi is stunned by how beautiful a woman Shelly has grown into. Helping her find her true self without the watchful eye of her father and Shelly blossoms into a confident young woman. Levi just needs a little push to realize that his friendship with Shelly has always been love.      

Overall, I love these brothers. Levi however managed to be the sweetest most romantic of the three, I mean what he did to prove his love to Shelly... happy cry, ugly cry but a happy one.

ARC REVIEW Betting on the Bad Boy by Sugar Jamison

Betting on the Bad Boy is the second part to Sugar Jamison Destiny series. So far the two books are parallel and it doesn't matter which order you read them in. Sugar Jamison has written a series about three brothers who were raised by the town drunk who up and disappeared one day leaving his sister Lolly to raise them. Lolly did the best she could by them but once they were called trash they were forever branded trash, and the first chance they had to leave they left Destiny. Each of the brother is unique. Duke the oldest is a hard and anger man who lives for his custom cars. Colt is the brains of the bunch who turned Duke's custom car business into a billion dollar company. Levi the youngest is the fun loving playboy who hosts the reality show based on King's Customs.

This is Duke King story. Duke King has an interesting story thirteen years ago he fell in love with the judge's daughter. Duke was a hard man even in his youth. The only person to out right show him love after his mother's death was Lolly, he never knew how to express his emotions and never knew what it felt like to truly love. After becoming father to his brothers at the age of fifteen and listened to the town calling him trash for all his life he never thought he was worthy enough for her. Grace knew that the moment she saw Duke that she wanted nothing more than to make him happy, that she could love him forever. But one night their world came crashing down. Duke was arrested for attempted murder, a trumped up charge brought on by Grace's father and the father of the guy Duke was beating the crap out of, who happened to be the Police Chief. Duke served six of his ten years when he got out he started Duke's Customs and with Colt's help they became billionaires. They would have left well enough alone with the hell they once called home but when Lolly called them back home because her failing health.

Grace was devastated when Duke was arrested but due to the hatred her father had for Duke he never knew about his son. Ryder is now thirteen years old a budding trouble maker and in desperate need for a father figure. Duke steps up and wants to be in his son's life and after he gets over his anger he makes a bet with Grace. If he can make it a full month living with them and being Ryder's father than she will let him move them to Vegas with him. The time he spends with Ryder has a rocky start but with the two of them being so similar Duke quickly falls into line with being a good father. Grace is confused she never stopped loving Duke and while she is scared he is just going to leave she can't stop making love to him every night. It's rocky between Grace and Duke also slowly relearning each other and truths about their time apart being told and Duke's overbearing nature to take over and give Grace the life she deserves butts head with Grace's overprotective and stubborn need to do everything herself.

Overall this was a quick good read. I love how the town that hated them is slowly growing to love the King boys. I can't wait for Levi's story.    

ARC REVIEW The Bad Boy CEO by Sugar Jamison

The Bad Boy CEO is the start of a new series for Sugar Jamison (at least I hope it is). Well Sugar has created three brothers that I fell in love with; completely different personality types but that just makes them lovable in the way that they are different. I love the way Sugar Jamison writes, and how she describes Zanna, I love that she made her resemble Raquel Welch. The story was enjoyable and the characters are very memorable.

This book centers around the middle brother, Colt, but has small views into the other brothers love life as well. Duke the eldest and the creative one, Colt the middle child and the brains behind the whole business. and Levi the baby and the T.V. star former race car driver. The brother all act like they don't like one another but they do, everything Colt has done is to make sure his brothers stay safe and together. After Duke got out of jail and started doing custom car stuff Colt made it possible for the Duke King brand name end up everywhere. When Levi started to risk his life racing Colt made a job for him host and star of the King's Customs' shop reality show. Colt is gruff but very loyal, when his aunt called up the brothers and said that she was dying and needed them home. Forced to go back to their hometown they swore they would never return to the brothers pack their bags and leave to back to Destiny.

From the moment Zanna held her shotgun on Colt wearing nothing but her underwear Colt knew he was a gonner. Zanna is leasing a room from Lolly, the King brother's Aunt, and she wasn't expecting anyone to walk into her home let alone a gorgeous bad boy. Zanna has sworn off bad boys, she has a weakness for them but they are always getting her into trouble, so much trouble she's hiding out from her last boyfriend. Zanna is determined to stay away from Colt and Colt never having felt this way before is determined to steer away from the drop dead sexy woman. Aunt Lolly has other plans. She wants Colt to modernize her beauty salon, and help the manager bring the shop up to date. Little did Colt know the manager is Zanna. Together, after Colt stops acting like he knows everything, they start to clean up and fix up the shop. Colt has a big chip on his shoulder when it comes to the people of Destiny; growing up they were always the poor trash of the town, but now with a multi million dollar empire he is determined to show everybody how that is no longer true and that he is so much better then them now. The sexual chemistry between Zanna and Colt is combustible and in no time they are burning up the sheets. Zanna isn't expecting much from Colt she knows he's not here to stay, but all that reminding doesn't stop her from falling in love. Both they both must get past their issues, Colt and his chip on the shoulder and Zanna and her past.

Overall, this was a fun read, and I hope that we get the full story for each of Duke and Levi romances.
