Review – So Good by Nicola Rendell

August 18, 20171 Comment

So Good by Nicola Rendell

So sweet.

So sexy.

So romantic.

So charming.

So HOT.

SO, SOOOOO GOOD!

So Good is without a doubt, one of the best friends to lovers romances out there. These two characters are literally the best of friends, with a deep, soulful connection that the reader feels immediately. I can’t even begin to describe how much these two lit me up and made me smile and swoon.

Nicola Rendell is one of the best as writing romances that are sweet and sexy but oh so hot. Her males are the best kind, ones that scream ALPHA but are also super sweet and romantic. I fell in love with Max!

As always, there are comedic touches in this novel that have you laughing out loud or smiling so much it hurts!! Cupcake and Julia are HILARIOUS side characters.

I loved EVERYTHING there is to love about this novel! There is a reason why Nicola Rendell is a FAVE of mine and this book solidifies that reason!

On the roof of a house outside Truelove, Maine, master carpenter Max Doyle looks down through a skylight and sees the most beautiful woman he’s ever laid eyes on. She’s naked, she’s gorgeous, and everything about her is perfect, down to the ball-busting tattoo of a rose that wraps around her hip. But it isn’t just any woman making his knees buckle. It’s his best friend, Rosie Madden. And as he stands there, mesmerized and precariously close to toppling off the roof, he knows he’ll never, ever be able to look at her the same way again.

Rosie can’t help but notice that Max is suddenly acting very strange—lots of long stares, totally tongue-tied, and not at all like the slightly cocky hunk she’s proud to call her best friend. She can’t figure it out, until later that night when Max rescues her from the world’s worst date, challenges her to a game of pool, and shows her just exactly what she’s got him thinking about. Repeatedly.

But life is complicated. Rosie’s cat, Julia Caesar, wants to eat Max’s dog Cupcake for an afternoon snack. A dream job threatens to pull them apart. And another glance through the skylight changes everything, one more time. Yet try as they might, they can’t go back to being just friends, because falling in love with the one you’ve always adored?

Review – Porter by Georgia Cates

Porter by Georgia Cates

Porter is the final book in the Lovibond series and I’m super sad to see it end! I’ve loved all these books and while Porter wasn’t my favourite of the three is was still a brilliant story that I devoured.

Porter & Frankee have an instant connection. They are breathtaking. SUPER HOT. Georgia wrote these two so well. They matched perfectly.

Porter is quick paced, it holds the reader captive and refuses to let go.

Craft beer and the sexy men who brew it.

My employee’s daughter. The tomboy. The kid who once did odd jobs around the brewery. That’s all she was… until three years passed and she walked into my office for an interview.

Frankee Dawson is no longer that girl I once called Kiddo. She’s grown into a beautiful, sexy, desirable woman. Very desirable. And that’s a problem. She’s my employee’s daughter. Lovibond family. And too young for me. Too innocent.

I want to feel her respond to my kiss.

I want her body to tremble as she anticipates my touch.

I want to learn all the places that bring her pleasure.

But mostly I want her to know that she’s never truly been loved by a man until me.

Frankee is my intern and under me for the summer. Literally. It’s a difficult secret to maintain when you can’t keep your hands off each other.

This was supposed to be a hot summer fling. Sex and fun without commitment. That’s what we called it. But we were wrong. This is more. I’ve never felt this way about a woman. Never cared more about someone else’s happiness more than my own.

I love her. And I’m happy, so damn happy… until a terrible mistake from my past springs forward and threatens to rip us apart.

There are a million reasons for her to leave me. And trust me, she should. But all I really need is one good reason for her to stay.

Review – Life Plus One by Rachel Robinson

August 18, 2017Leave a comment

Life Plus One by Rachel Robinson!

I am SO LUCKY to read the books I read! Some I get to read early. Some I buy. But when I read a book like Life Plus One by Rachel Robinson it solidifies my love for the adult romance genre. I’ve read some pretty incredible books this year and I’m sure I’ll read more before it ends but I can safely say that Life Plus One will sit in my top three of 2017 EASILY!

This is not a book that can be read really quickly, for a fun sexy hit. No, this a book where you have to take your time. It’s a book that hits you SO DEEP in your soul that sometimes you feel there is no way out. Rachel stole a HUGE part of me and it’s left somewhere between the pages of Life Plus One with Ben & Harper.

One thing I LOVE in my books is ANGST and Life Plus One had it in SPADES. I was on the edge of my seat, gasping and sighing and swooning and hurting in equal measure. My smile hurt my face, my pounding heart hurt in my chest, my tears hurt my eyes, my body burnt and ached with SO MUCH sexual tension and connection that was brutally battered by LIFE and missed opportunity. My emotions were everywhere, still are EVERYWHERE.

To me, Rachel Robinson writes the best SEAL ROMANCES out there. They are littered with strong, sinful, sexy alphas that make you all dreamy eyed. Life Plus One had an alpha that was strong and sinful and super, super sexy, but he was also so sweet, so raw, so BEAUTIFUL. This man stole away with me. Don’t get me wrong there was a couple of times I wanted to slap him but it was his whole persona that just ended up making me love him more despite his “moments”. Ben was one in a million!

This book also delivers an amazing friends to lovers trope! Honestly Rachel DELIVERS it so freaking good. I felt everything. All their love, all their jealousy, all their lust, regret, pain, anger, sadness, happiness. ALL OF IT. I connected to them both so easily, so quickly that I actually felt as though I was breathing their air, living side by side with them. And that’s all down to Rachel and how she DELIVERS this story and these characters.

Cover to cover….Beginning to end… Rachel Robinson destroyed me, ripped me apart, splattered my soul and left me broken, but she also raised me up, filled me with love, breathed beautiful life back into me and left me so happy that it was all sooo worth it.

I could go on forever. I could literally speak about this book for days and not her bored. There is SO MUCH to it, that just when you think you know what’s coming or going to happen, the rug is dragged from under your feet and you’re freefalling. But in the end, it’s an experience I’m SO GLAD I took and it’s one I will NEVER forget.

6, but that’s not nearly enough, beautiful, stars!

Ben Brahms shed his glasses, gangly body, and a life long pact to attend an Ivy League college with his best friend the day the world took on a sinister hue. With his outward appearance matching his new career as a Navy SEAL, Ben is saving the world…literally, at the expense of everything he gave up. A whole life.

Her.

Harper Rosehall honors the pact. She takes on, and then dominates college on the opposite coast. Always the geek, and always behind socially—especially with men, she blossoms. With her moral compass guiding her, she finds herself drawn back to San Diego and all she left behind.

Him.

With memories from their pasts haunting every interaction and decision in their present—and future, their timing never seems to be quite right.

A marriage.

A baby.

Nothing.

Some friendships last the test of time, can Ben and Harper’s stand the tests of life?

Life doesn’t care what you love, it takes it away anyways.

Review – The Perfect Bastard by LK Collins

August 17, 2017Leave a comment

This story was not at all what I expected it to be. Single dads are the current “thing”, the latest hot fad that seems to be popping up everywhere. Roan Reddick could be like any other man trying to do the right thing by his family while also trying to do his sexy thing on the side and keep it hidden. But I was wrong. This single dad was so much more. This man is unlike any hero that LK has ever written. This story has a different feel than anything LK has offered and is a wonderful show of her talent and versatility.

Roan is a broken man but hiding it as well as he can. He’s tempermental and hardworking. A brilliant engineer and shrewd businessman. He’s determined to give his two girls everything but knows that he can’t give them the most important thing – their mother. That doesn’t stop him though, but one night he takes something for himself. One night he takes Mia Cavalano, his best friend’s little sister, and finds solace for himself. It was wrong and he knows it. Still that one moment of indulgence changes his life and Mia’s. So much so that Mia opts to leave Boston, Roan and her broken heart behind to go to college and start over.

But Mia can’t pass up an opportunity to return home when her job transfers her there. She goes back knowing that Roan and those memories of their night together await her. But there’s no way to hide what’s between these two. It’s smoldering and steaming right at the surface. They want to deny what they feel and fight a second chance at love. So many worries and insecurities – the girls’ abandonment by their mother, the fear that Chandler will not accept his sister and best friend together, the guilt that Roan feels.

I loved Roan! He’s sexy and strong, but he’s flawed and bitter. He’s dark and just so heartbroken. He’s loved and lost. He’s tired of fighting but is scared to trust what he feels for Mia. The one thing that is sure in his life are his daughters and his absolute devotion to them. Mia is fierce, feisty and absolutely perfect for Roan. She’s accepting of his flaws and understands just how much the past has hurt this man that she has known and loved most of her life.

The Perfect Bastard is one incredible second chance love story. Angsty, full of sexy moments and undeniable chemistry. The ultimate story – the real love story in my opinion – is the love that Roan has for his girls. The ups and downs that he faces with them… the defiance, tears and feelings of failure. The past is never far behind with this family. But leave it to Mia to act as a bond between Roan and his girls even when she has to face her own doubts.

Beautifully done! A story of true love and more importantly, the amazing truth that the love of family can heal broken hearts. Great job, LK!

5 Fighting Stars!

What is the one thing you shouldn’t do when your wife leaves you? Sleep with your best friend’s sister.

It’s too bad Roan Reddick never got that piece of advice before he fell into bed with Mia Cavalano. She’s smart, sassy, and sexy as hell. She’s also the only woman to flip his world upside down since his wife. And she’s leaving for college in two days, which is good considering he’s not looking for a relationship, not now, not with the agony that lives inside him from his past. But Roan can’t kick the craving he now has for Mia.

One choice changed everything.

After years away, Mia realizes they just aren’t meant to be. So she vows to keep her focus on her career and forget about the one-night stand that rocked her world so long ago. But when work transfers her back to Boston, a place that holds so many memories, she has no choice but to go. All she has to do is stick to her plan and keep her focus on work, which should be easy, right?

Besides, in a city of half a million people, how hard can it be to avoid the perfect bastard?

BONUS BOOK INCLUDED! After reading The Perfect Bastard which ends around the 50% mark, you can enjoy UNPLUGGED in its entirety. We are including this bestselling novel as our free gift to you. In UNPLUGGED you’ll meet Merritt, an alpha male with a dirty, sexy, luscious mouth. He’ll screw you senseless while talking filth. Prepare to have the panties melted right off you while reading this story about a week of sex with no strings attached, gone wrong.

AUTHOR’S NOTE: Both The Perfect Bastard and UNPLUGGED are full-length stand-alone novels with an HEA, no cheating, and no cliffhanger. These stories contain mature subject matter. Not intended for those under 18, but those over will thank us later…happy reading!

Review – Wish You Were Here by Renee Carlino

August 16, 2017August 16, 2017Leave a comment

Wish You Were Here by Renee Carlino

My rating: 6 of 5 stars

Have you ever read a book that has moved you so much and means more than you can pen into words? I’m still MESMERIZED—so UNEQUIVOCALLY MOVED—by Renee Carlino’s words in Wish You Were Here, a story that STUNNED ME SPEECHLESS. A story that made me melt…made me break…made me think…made me feel. Wish You Were Here made my HEART BLEED and my SOUL SOAR, and I can’t stop feeling this romance.

I knew right away that this story was SPECIAL. I knew that Wish You Were Here is the kind of story that sticks, the soul-stirring type that stays long after the last page is turned. I knew this tale would hold my heart in its hands forever, and I would let it take my heart as its own because Wish You Were Here OWNED ME and MY HEART FROM THE START.

This is a romance you have to experience and wholeheartedly feel for yourself—preferably blindly—as I did. Wish You Were Here is not a story but an adventure, a romance that is so much more: love but mostly life. This story, along with its hero and heroine, is strength in spades. Wish You Were Here is a journey of love and life; happiness and heartbreak; and so much strength.

It was like we already knew each other, like we had met in a previous life.

After a magical night together, Charlotte and Adam felt the force of fate, as if they were soul mates. I MELTED from the MAGIC of this couple. I felt their SPARK too. Together, this hero and heroine were the sun amid the storm.

“Love is a wordless secret; it’s an inside joke. Only the two of you have to understand it.”

I lost myself in Wish You Were Here, vanishing into this life-altering story, SPELLBOUND, as it seized every part of me: body, heart, and soul. Wish You Were Here is HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL, a book bleeding with feels. Oh did my heart break, shattering into pieces!!! Tears flowed like a river and I didn’t try to stop them…could not stop them. I UGLY CRIED, and it was catastrophic yet cathartic. The feels flowed feverishly where I FELT EVERY WORD ON EVERY PAGE. I felt every drop of sunlight, every drop of rain, every pull of my heart, and every slay of my soul. I FELT EVERYTHING!!!

The first thing I noticed about this story besides its stunning cover is that Renee Carlino weaves her work with detail, incredible descriptors that transport you right into the story. I was immediately thrust into the world of Wish You Were Here. This is my first Renee Carlino romance but I can feel how this incredible and new favorite author of mine poured her heart, blood, sweat, and tears into a breathtakingly beautiful and brilliant book. This PERFECTLY POIGNANT LOVE STORY is one that remains for a lifetime like that epic love we all seek.

Wish You Were Here is a story that is SO MUCH MORE than a romance. Wish You Were Here is taking that leap and living life to the fullest. Wish You Were Here is love against the odds. Wish You Were Here is happiness, hope, and heartbreak in a book bathed in beautiful words.

Devastatingly beautiful, passionately poignant, and life-changing, Wish You Were Here is a book that bleeds LOVE and LIFE. You can’t help but become touched by this love story and FEEL Wish You Were Here word-for-word and cover-to-cover.I’m still being touched by this romance. Tears are etched in my eyes, ones that still feel fresh from feeling so much. My HEART IS WIDE OPEN as it sits—SHATTERED yet SOARING—from this soul-searing story. Wish You Were Here is a romance I wish everyone would read. I’ll forever feel this masterpiece in vibrant color.

A TOP 2017 MUST-READ ROMANCE!!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 but worth all of the stunning stars

View all my reviews

Charlotte has spent her twenties adrift, floating from interest to interest, job to job, and guy to guy, searching for a spark but never quite finding it. All she knows is that she won’t discover it working as a waitress at a pies-and-fries joint in Los Angeles or living with her fun but aimless best friend in a tiny apartment in the Arts District.

Then Charlotte collides with Adam, a gorgeous and soulful painter who seems just as lost as she feels. Their instant connection turns into a midnight drink… and a whirlwind night of champagne, Chinese food, and the kind of conversation that only happens in romantic comedies. But the next morning, Adam gives Charlotte the cold shoulder, leaving her confused and hurt—and wondering if the few odd moments between them the night before were red flags in disguise.

Months later, Charlotte hasn’t been able to shake Adam, so she decides to find out what happened the morning after their magical night together. This fateful decision rewrites their wild love story, but what Charlotte doesn’t know yet is that the ending has already been written.

“You’re making love sound tragic,” I said.

“No”—he shook his head—“I wouldn’t want it any other way. Tell me about us. What do we like to do?”

“Paint and sail and eat and drink. Just simple things.” “Don’t forget about sex,” he said.
“Yeah, lots of sex. Before the children were born we

“We were practically naked every second of the day.”

“I like that.”

“When they got older, we’d sneak away for weekends and leave them at my mom’s.”

“What are they like? Our children.”

“Happy. That’s all we wished for. We put our love first and it just spilled over into them and now they’re happy.”

Tears sprang from my eyes and ran down my cheeks. Isn’t that what we all hope for when it comes to our children?

His tone suddenly changed. “That’s beautiful, Char- lotte.” It was like he was waking up from the dream. I didn’t want to go back to reality yet, but I knew these fantasies were just to help Adam get his mind off things.

“I can imagine a long life with you,” he said. “I can imagine what a great wife you’d be.”

I pulled my hand out of his. “The story is about you and me.” He didn’t say anything; he just nodded and then continued to stare out the window. I bent and kissed the top of his head again, and whispered, “It’s about us. Don’t take that away from me.”

Review – The Soul Mate by Kendall Ryan

August 15, 2017Leave a comment

The Soul Mate by Kendall Ryan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just SIGH! Kendall Ryan has written her SWEETEST STORY YET! I’m still basking in the sun of The Soul Mate. I’m still SMILING and GLOWING from this lovely love story. I’m still FLOATING on CLOUD NINE from the spell The Soul Mate left behind!!!

Sometimes a one-night stand is not just a hot romp; it’s so much more. It’s a kiss that touches more than the body. It’s not just sex in the sheets; it’s a connection felt everywhere: body, heart, and soul.

It was more than chemistry—it was sheer animal connection, and I knew, even from that first, innocent kiss, that she could feel it too. Our connection was unlike anything I’d ever felt.

Beautiful Bren had the best one-night stand ever with a gorgeous guy who rocked her world. One night was all she wanted but more than many nights later, she is still thinking about the man who took her to ecstasy land.

Jesus, he was like a drug. One taste and I wanted to mainline him straight to the vein.

Mason, AKA Dr. Dreamy, is a hot doc who can examine me anytime. I LOVED him and his dirty mouth, big heart, and sweet soul. Mason had me SMITTEN!!! I LOVED Mr. Romance!

Neither Bren nor Mason can forget that hot and mind-dizzying night. It’s as if their combustible connection is one forged by fate. One of soul mates.

“It’s not just me—you’re feeling this, right?”

The Soul Mate is ALL OF THE SWOON! Sexy meets sweetness in The Soul Mate, a love story that makes the heart flutter and the soul swoon! This love story is ENCHANTING and ENDEARING, one where you will smile and swoon the whole time reading. The Soul Mate is a WHIRLWIND of a ROMANCE that makes the HEART DANCE! A Hallmark love story in words, The Soul Mate is ROMANCE HEAVEN…my soul mate indeed!

“You can’t live life in fear, kid.”

“What if it’s the only thing distracting me from how my heart is breaking?”

“Sometimes, you have to let it break. That’s the only way it’s going to heal.”

💋💋💋💋 swoon-filled ‘Soul Mate’ kisses

Review – Royally Endowed by Emma Chase

August 14, 2017August 14, 2017Leave a comment

Royally Endowed AMAZON

Royally Endowed by Emma Chase

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Love isn’t a cure; it doesn’t magically solve every problem. But it makes solving those problems worth it. Love is our inspiration, our motivation…and our reward.”

I’m FLYING…FLOATING on Cloud Nine and I can’t stop!!! Royally Endowed by Emma Chase injected me with some serious SWOON SERUM where I still feel a HEADY HIGH! Royally Endowed is DAZZLING, DREAMY and oh so DIVINE. This fairytale felt like I was experiencing a dream. My face was etched with a dreamy look. This story shot STARS IN MY EYES!!! I still can’t stop SMILING and SWOONING!

In the first few pages, Emma Chase made me feel the plight of a lovesick and broken man. I broke from this broken man. My heart hurt as I felt his sting of rejection sting me.

What I feel for her is the one thing in my life that makes sense. That matters. But I never told her that.

Logan St. James, panty-melting hot bodyguard for the Prince of Wessco, is royally endowed. But it’s not his package that has the younger sister of the Princess smitten; it’s Logan’s huge heart. This beautiful bodyguard is sexy, swoony, strong, and selfless. I LOVED LOGAN so hard!!!

“You’re always doing this,” she whispers.

“Doing what?”

“Saving me.”

I fell in love with the bubbly and bold personality of beautiful Ellie in Royally Screwed, the first book in this series. Princess Olivia’s younger sister is all grown up now and Ellie is a breath of fresh air on a gloomy day. I could feel her sparkling personality through the pages, this beauty inside and out.

“Don’t want you to fall.”

But he’d catch me if I did.

Ellie can’t help but be smitten with the white knight, her bodyguard, who is always saving her. Logan doesn’t want to want the girl he guarded as a teen who is now all woman. A relationship with whom he is guarding can’t happen.

“Beautiful.”

“What?”

“You look beautiful, Ellie.”

Oh did I MELT!!! I melted into a puddle of goo. Logan is sweetness and swoon with a side of sexy. Logan WOWED me in every way!

“I burn for you, sweet girl. I dream of you, even when I’m awake.”

A relationship beyond friends is FORBIDDEN but fate wants to pull the strings.

“Do you feel it too?”

I would give anything…I would die for the chance to go back and tell her now. Tell her the truth.

[Tell her]:

“I feel it too, Ellie. I always have.”

I did not expect this story to twist and turn itself around me where I FELT ALL THE FEELS. I did not expect to CRY sad tears along with my happy ones. I did not expect to feel so much. I FELT this love story stream through me, sweeping me away. I FELT the passion mixed with promise for this heart-worthy hero and heroine. I FELT every emotion. I FELT EVERYTHING!!!

Royally Endowed is a HEARTFELT, HEADY, HEAD-IN-THE-CLOUDS love story that soars straight to the soul. Fierce. Forbidden. Fabulous. This slow burn of a breathless book seduces with sweetness and swoon. Royally Endowed is WHOLEHEARTEDLY ROMANTIC, a fairytale of feels where you dare to dream.

Emma Chase has WOWED ME again with her superb storytelling skills!!! With its laugh-out-loud humor, off-the-charts chemistry, passion, smolder, strength, sweetness, swoon, soul, and sooo much heart…Royally Endowed is EVERYTHING!!! Emma Chase paints the perfect picture of palace life where you’ll feel as if you are part of the royal family of Wessco too.

Oh did I FALL HARD for Royally Endowed! I was ENCHANTED with this romance. A heady mix of smolder, sass, sweetness, sadness, and suspense, Royally Endowed EXPLODES WITH EMOTION! Emma Chase makes MAGIC IN WORDS, and I was thoroughly TOUCHED by Emma Chase’s fairy dust in Royally Endowed. This romance is so royally good!

“When you look at her, does the whole world sort of…fade away? And she’s the only thing you see? The only thing you ever want to see?”

👑👑👑👑👑 royally good crowns

View all my reviews

Logan St. James is a smoldering, sexy beast. Sure, he can be a little broody at times—but Ellie Hammond’s willing to overlook that. Because, have you seen him??

Sexy. As. Hell.

And Ellie’s perky enough for both of them.

For years, she’s had a crush on the intense, gorgeous royal security guard—but she doesn’t think he ever saw her, not really.

To Logan, Ellie was just part of the job—a relative of the royal family he’d sworn to protect. Now, at 22 years old and fresh out of college, she’s determined to put aside her X-rated dreams of pat-downs and pillow talk, and find a real life happily ever after.

The Queen of Wessco encourages Ellie to follow in her sister’s footsteps and settle down with a prince of her own. Or a duke, a marquis…a viscount would also do nicely.

But in the pursuit of a fairy tale ending, Ellie learns that the sweetest crushes can be the hardest to let go.
***
Logan St. James grew up on the wrong side of the tracks, in a family on the wrong side of the law. But these days, he covers his tattoos and scars with a respectable suit. He’s handsome, loyal, brave, skilled with his hands and…other body parts.

Any woman would be proud to call him hers.

But there’s only one woman he wants.

For years he’s watched over her, protected her, held her hair back when she was sick, taught her how to throw a punch, and spot a liar.

He dreams of her. Would lay down his life for her.

But beautiful Ellie Hammond’s off-limits.

Everybody knows the bodyguard rules: Never lose focus, never let them out of your sight, and never, ever fall in love.

Ellie

But then the mood shifts, as if the air becomes thicker, weighted, more . . . sultry.

Because slowly, Logan sinks down to one knee in front of me—looking in my eyes the whole time. In this position, I could touch his shoulders, comb my fingers through his thick, dark hair. He’s the perfect height for me to bend down and kiss his mouth—the perfect height for him to kiss me back . . . in a lot of places.

My breath hitches. And I wonder he feels it too.

There’s a sound of tearing Velcro, and Logan takes something off his ankle—a holster, with a small silver knife, about three inches long.

“Keep this on you all the time,” he says seriously. “Just in case. If you wear a skirt, the strap will fit around your thigh.”

And I almost laugh. Most girls get a ring from a guy on his knees. I get a murder weapon. But still, it makes me feel safe . . . watched over. Like I’m something precious that deserves to be protected.

I take the knife from him, testing the surprisingly solid, heavy weight of it in my hand. I press my index finger to the tip.

Logan grabs my wrist tightly. “Careful. It’s sharp.”

There’s a small, painless nick, a tiny bead of blood, so I put my finger in my mouth, sucking.

And Logan’s watching me again.

Watching my mouth.

His chest seems to rise just a little faster, and his throat ripples when he swallows. He bends his head, curves his strong back, and then I feel his hands on my ankle, securing the strap. His touch is warm and self-assured. It’s the way he always moves—confident and experienced. Logan knows his body and he knows how to use it, in every way possible.

I almost moan. The sound is in the back of my throat, but I keep it trapped. I never knew the ankle was an erogenous zone, but it sure as hell is now. A hot pulse of pleasure streaks from Logan’s fingers on my bare skin, up my thigh, between my legs.

And I throb there, growing swollen and heavy as he keeps his hands on me.

Can he tell? Does he know? He’s so aware of everything, always so attuned, I wonder if he can sense my arousal . . . feel it in the air that clings between us.

Review – Thousands by Pepper Winters

August 13, 2017August 15, 2017Leave a comment

Thousands by Pepper Winters

My rating: 6 of 5 stars

There is no GREATER HIGH than when I sink myself into a Pepper Winters story. Half of her words penetrate me like a knife, cutting into me deeply, twisting and turning around my heart, where I plummet through the dark. OH DO I LOVE THAT FALL! The other half shines through me like the sun, soaking me in warmth and light, where I feel as if I’m floating on air, everything so right. It’s this whirlwind of light mixed with dark that draws me into Pepper Winters’ creations, stories that strip me bare as they bare everything to me.

Here I sit days after reading, still STUNNED SPEECHLESS, still so very MOVED by Thousands, Pepper Winters’ latest story in the Dollar series. Thousands sank into my soul—my emotions on edge—as its pendulum-like push and pull SPELLBOUND ME. Words opened the floodgate of feels: POIGNANT … PASSIONATE … POWERFUL. These words penetrated me like rain and I wanted to feel every last drop.

Two hearts are broken, longing to be whole.
Two souls are dead apart but alive together.
Elder and Pim, fate finds them together again.

Now I understood the message. I was dead without her. I was alive with her.

Dark-haired, dark-eyed, and inked Elder is gorgeous. Hero and hunter. Angel and devil. Saint and sinner. PURE PERFECTION. Burned by a painful past with wounds that still resonate deeply, this beautiful man seeks salvation. I NEEDED HIM TO BE SAVED TOO. I LOVE ELDER, MY DARK HERO, SO MUCH!!!

I was nothing. I was no one.

My HEART BLED for Elder, this beautiful and broken man! Elder doesn’t want to love Pim when he can’t love himself, but the fuel of fate is too lethal to escape.

“You’ve emotionally crippled me, Pim. You’ve reached inside and wrapped around everything vital keeping me alive.”

These words PENETRATED ME. These words gripped my heart. These words soared straight to my soul.

Beautiful Pimlico ‘Pim’ has survived hell, battling the most evil of monsters. She is gaining strength, fighting back to reclaim part of who she was before her life ended. I LOVED this STRONG HEROINE, a WOMAN WARRIOR!!! From meek little mouse to roaring lion, it’s Pim’s turn to roar. I admired her courage and tenacity so much! She is sweetness and strength, a survivor.

Pim seeks to be the light in Elder’s dark world, the spark to his soul. THOUSANDS was a SPARK to my SOUL.

I no longer lived for me. I lived for him.
She wasn’t alive because of me. I was living because of her.

Elder and Pim’s chemistry is UNDENIABLE. One look is all it takes for their electricity to detonate. I felt it through the pages, this combustible chemistry that MELTED ME.

I launched myself at her. She didn’t run. She was weightless as I crushed her to me. She was eager as my mouth slammed on hers and every last thought exploded into nothingness.

The kiss speaks what words can’t. A kiss that is a fusion of soulmates. A kiss that is EVERYTHING.

“All things worth having are terrifying.”

“Then you must be the greatest thing on earth, Pimlico, because you f**king petrify me.”

These words are PURE POWER.
Power to break.
Power to bind.
Power to feel each one.

Oh did I FEEL!!! I FELT these words vibrate through me, GRIPPING and GUTTING ME, as they cast a spell on my soul that spun, soared, and shattered for Thousands The persistent push and pull…the fire and ice…the secrets and lies…SO INTENSE, so much that I FELT THIS STORY along with Pim and Elder. I FELT every heartbreak, every hope, every bit of happiness, and every bit of bleeding angst from these real-to-me characters. I FELT EVERYTHING!!!

That END?!? IT SHOCKED and SHATTERED ME!!! When you think you can’t wade into the pits of hell any deeper, Pepper Winters takes you there, thrusting you into despair where you can only pray for survival from the massacre on your heart and soul. A MASTERMIND of monster-mixed-with-hero stories, so FLAWLESSLY fused with dark and light, there is no better dark romance author than Pepper Winters. NO ONE. This Queen of Darkness is IT for ME!!! Thousands is a TOP 2017 book, a MUST-READ romance!!!

HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL and PASSIONATELY POIGNANT, Thousands hits the heart and slays the soul. From the moment I began Thousands, this soul-searing story both bared itself to me and STRIPPED ME BARE, stealing every smile and tear, entangling itself around every emotion. I knew this book would break me, and that it did. This book BROKE ME in the BEST WAY!!! I WAS RUINED!!! But oh was I IN LOVE!!! So much love!

I lived Thousands. I breathed Thousands. I was bound to Thousands. I became Thousands, a story worth billions in gold. THOUSANDS OWNED EVERY PART OF ME. I am still BREATHLESS, my heart beating for Thousands. Thousands thrust itself into my heart, both throbbing as one, and never let go. I still can’t let go.

This was pure love, and I sank to the bottom of it and didn’t care if I drowned.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 heartbreakingly beautiful ‘but worth 1000s ‘stars

“Love had been stolen from me for reasons entirely my fault. But then a miracle happened, and Pim gave me something I thought was lost forever. She gave me a love I’d earned. Love that ruined me. Love that made me hopelessly hers…”

Once upon a time, I didn’t think I’d ever be normal.

Now, I’m talking and trusting, and it’s all thanks to Elder.

He gave me my life back, and I gave him my heart, but love stories like ours are never simple.

I did something to protect him.

He did something to survive me.

We screwed up.

And now, it’s no longer just about us.

It’s about safety, sanctuary, and sin.

Review – Wicked Bite by Rebecca Zanetti

August 13, 2017August 13, 20172 Comments

Another 5 star read from Rebecca Zanetti. I absolutely have loved this series. This one went out with a bang. This is a pure page turner. A must read. While it could be read without reading the previous books, it would definitely help you with the plot.

Bear and Nessa have this undeniable chemistry but Bear does not trust her motives. Nessa tells half truths so that Bear doesn’t catch what she’s really up to.

So much action, passion, and intensity that you won’t be able to put down. I’m excited for the next series.

As she hunts for a drug lord killing her fellow witches, all Tessa Lansa’s instincts point to the Grizzly motorcycle club. That might be because their leader, Bear, is the strong, silent shifter type: warm brown eyes and more muscle and alpha male than any woman can ignore. Which makes Tessa’s plan to seduce and betray him all the more dangerous…

Bear doesn’t trust the curvy, blue-eyed witch. But Tessa can heal the injuries that sap his strength. And since he can’t stop thinking of her lush body and teasing smile, her plan to mate him to reclaim her own power is highly tempting. Just one problem. Once a desire this wild is loose, no one will ever control it…

Chapter 1

Somebody was in his cabin. Beauregard McDunphy lumbered around the side of the modest wood structure, his fur rippling in the wind, his big paws leaving tracks in the wet dirt. At one point, not too long ago, he’d been bigger than any bear in the area—shifter or animal. Now he was merely normal size. Yet he could still take a human trespasser without much effort. He lifted his snout, and the fur rose down his broad back.

He was a loner, and he liked his privacy, so anybody who even remotely knew him understood to stay the hell out of his space. What was that smell?

Irish roses and something . . . female. The scent of woman. He growled, the sound hollow.

Who the hell was in his cabin? He stalked toward the front door, which remained open. Oh, he was going to scare this interloper. He sucked in air to snarl, rolling his neck so he could fully flash his canines.

A woman came into view, turning around, skirt rustling. “There you are.”

He paused and studied her. Thick black hair piled on her head, violet-blue eyes, smooth features. Delicate. Something stirred inside him, and he shook his head, trying to focus. Why wasn’t she scream- ing? Most people freaked out when faced with a grizzly bear. Wait a minute. He knew her. Didn’t he know her?

She pressed her hands to her hips. Her green houndstooth de- signer suit looked like something out of the fifties. Somehow, it worked on her. “Do you mind shifting back to human form? We need ta talk.”

2 Rebecca Zanetti

The brogue. Irish brogue. Pretty eyes. Small stature. Sparks of power all around her.

It hit him then. A witch. There was a witch in his home. He growled again and set his bones to transforming into his human shape. The process took longer than it should have, considering he’d mainly been in bear form for nearly three months. Three useless months that hadn’t changed a damn thing about his failing health.

Pain lanced down his spine and through his arms. His bones broke and reformed, hurting much more than they should. The fur receded on his arms and then the rest of his body. Agony flared through his face, reshaping it, nearly making him black out. Finally, he straight- ened, his body elongating. He kept his expression stoic and tried to banish the ache.

“That looked painful,” she whispered, her gaze soft on his face. “It was,” he responded before he could think. Then reality crashed

back. “Why is there a Coven Nine witch in my fucking cabin?” His safe cabin in the Seattle wilderness where witches and the Coven Nine couldn’t get to him. What was her name? He couldn’t place it. Everything was cloudy. Yet he remembered seeing her in Ireland at witch headquarters—she was a council member. When was that? Months ago.

She hummed and looked around, her gaze high and a light pink dusting her cheekbones.

He settled his stance. His human brain kicked back in. “As a member of the Coven Nine, what are you doing here?” She was on the ruling council of witches, and she should have security all around her. His back stiffened, and he turned to scan for threats.

“I’m alone,” she said.

That was impossible. Yet even with his senses returning, he couldn’t find any other people near, much less any witches. “Why?” he barked. His voice was rough and hoarse from disuse.

She blew out air, her pretty lips pursing. Her gaze rose nearly to the rough wooden ceiling. If she craned her neck up any more, she might fall backward.

Bear frowned. “What the hell?”

She cleared her throat. “Do you, ah, do you mind?” Her hand swept out, even the small movement graceful.

“Mind what?” he snapped, glancing over his shoulder again. Trees

and silence met his gaze. Thunder ripped above, and an angry autumn rain began to slap the ground. Summer had given up the fight, and the oncoming winter scented the breeze. He stepped inside the cabin.

She backed up so quickly her butt hit the ancient stove, and she gave a startled eep. “Please, Mr. McDunphy.”

What in the world was wrong with the woman? “Please, what?” Was this some kind of trap?

“Put some clothes on,” she said through pearly-white teeth.

He started and looked down at his naked body. “Oh.” Clothes were such a damn annoyance. “Uh, okay.” A small dresser sat by the bed, on the north wall. He moved past the raggedy sofa and modest fireplace to yank out a pair of faded jeans. He struggled into them, wincing as he engaged the zipper.

Life was so much easier as a bear.

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Rebecca Zanetti has worked as an art curator, Senate aide, lawyer, college professor, and a hearing examiner – only to culminate it all in stories about Alpha males and the women who claim them. She writes contemporary romances, dark paranormal romances, and romantic suspense novels.

Growing up amid the glorious backdrops and winter wonderlands of the Pacific Northwest has given Rebecca fantastic scenery and adventures to weave into her stories. She resides in the wild north with her husband, children, and extended family who inspire her every day—or at the very least give her plenty of characters to write about.
