This book!! OMG!! I LOOOOOVE Emma Hart, her books are like the world’s best baked cupcake. So beautiful, so delicious, so AMAZING. Each and every time I read a book of Emma’s, I fall in love, super hard!

Stripped Bare, is now probably my favourite book of Emma’s. The whole journey is electric. Full of feels and sexy sensations that just come to life. Jump out, off the page and play out, clear as day, before your eyes.

Words, phrases, sentences, Emma’s comedic whit, and deliciously dirty talking characters just MAKE THIS BOOK! Seriously, everything gels together. Everything flows. Everything makes sense and I just loved being able to float away and get lost in this book.

West and Mia.
OMG. The connection. The chemistry. These two are so hot and super, SUPER sexy! While reading Stripped Bare these two lit a fire so bright I burnt up. I was left gasping. I need more, I want more. I don’t think I’d ever get enough.
From the first time these characters meet to the very last page these characters devoured me and practically held me hostage. Stealing my love from me. 

Once again, Emma proves why she is a Bestselling author! And I’m sure this book will be another hit!

5 sizzling, sexy, stripper stars!!

What do you get when you mix a bachelorette party, the queen of dating disasters, and a stripper so hot he was forged from the fires of hell? Screwed. You get screwed….

Cocky. Commanding. Powerful. Relentless.
Those four words all summed up West Rykman perfectly.
So did filthy, dirty, sexy, and addictive.
He was supposed to be my one night stand…not my new marketing client.
He was definitely not supposed to be back inside my pants, not that anybody told him that.
I knew one thing: What West Rykman wanted, West Rykman got.
And he wanted me.

What happens in Vegas… might just make you stay.

Review – Monday by EL Todd

Monday cover

Karen's Review

An all-consuming, angst-ridden, and awe-inspiring friends-to-lovers romance, Monday grabs you fiercely and never lets go. Engaging. Emotional. Evocative. Monday brings enough feels to last until Sunday and more.

I decided to read Monday, my first story by EL Todd, blindly—something I’ve never done before. No synopsis. No clue about the story except for the hot guy and pretty gal on the cover. A few pages in and I was captivated, caught in the raw and riveting writing of this author that was quickly casting a spell on me. Hook. Line. Sinker.

Beautiful, smart, and sassy Francesca with her dark hair and sea green eyes meets a gorgeous and intense man in a bakery one day where she works that changes her life.

Hawke. Dark hair. Blue eyes. Tall. Muscular. Inked. Player galore. And oh so a predator. I want to be his prey.

It’s an insta-attraction. A magnetism that pulls with a force like a hurricane. On their first date, their kiss ignites fireworks and was the best either of them had.

“We were two poles carrying the same wire. Electricity ran between us, and once the touch was severed, so was the energy.”

Monday Teaser.jpg

That powerful kiss left them both panting and wanting more. Though Hawke becomes scared of what it could lead too, and plays the dreaded friend card.

“I really like you but I’m not the man you want…the kind that isn’t good enough for you.”

Ouch. That burns. My heart starts to crack for Hawke’s low self-worth. Once Hawke discovers Francesca is his best friend’s little sister, friends it is. Francesca is off limits. Forbidden. Despite both of them wanting…needing more. Despite destiny that brought them together.

“I know it sounds crazy but…I feel like our paths were meant to cross.”

Monday Teaser 4.jpg

So these friends morph into soul mates in every way…sans sex. Hawke and Francesca’s friends-only status is tested when Francesca has to stay with Hawke for a week due to apartment maintenance. The flirting is fierce. Oh is Hawke a delicious and devilish dirty talker.

“You packed lots of panties, right? Because I want to see them on that beautiful ass of yours.

Friends…yeah, right.

“Come on, take a peek. He’s excited to see you.”

Smile. Scorch. Repeat.

This is a couple who needs to realize they are destined to be together. You can’t fight fate as fate always wins.

“I wanted him, but in a way I couldn’t explain. I detected pain emanating from every part of his body. It was like a high-pitched song only I could hear.”

Monday Teaser 2.jpg

These beautiful words shot arrows straight to my heart. Francesca is the light to Hawke’s dark. The high to his lows. The angel to his devil.

“You have the most beautiful soul.”

“No. That’s your soul you’re seeing—inside of me.”

Monday Teaser 3.jpg

You go through life looking for a soul mate. Your friend. Your lover. Your more. Francesca and Hawke are each other’s other half. Two halves joined as a whole who are meant to be joined forever.

“We were molding into a single person, one entity.”

Monday Teaser 5.jpg

Francesca beams light into Hawke’s dark life. However, a dark childhood filled with abuse has made Hawke mark himself a monster when Francesca only sees a loving man. He is torn, and so lost that he may never be found. Those demons that he tries to keep buried swim up to the surface, whirling around like a hurricane, threaten to destroy everything.

“Like a ghost, he vanished from my life.”

Gah! This cliffhanger left me gasping for air. Monday is heartfelt and hypnotizing where I was glued to the pages. Every. Step. Of. The. Way. Pure beauty in words. I want more. Need more. Tuesday needs to happen soon to erase this Monday hangover.

synopsis.jpg

I don’t believe in destiny.

In fate.

Or in soul mates.

But I believe in Hawke.

My life has never been whole since my parents left forever. I have my brother, someone I can barely tolerate most of the time, and I have my best friend, Marie.

And I have myself.

But when Hawke walks into my life, there’s an immediate connection. Our eyes lock and an unspoken conversation is exchanged. For the first time in my life, I actually feel something.

But he doesn’t.

He keeps me at arm’s length and pretends there’s nothing between us when there clearly is. I’m not the kind of girl to wait around for any guy, so I don’t.

But that doesn’t mean he isn’t in the back of my mind.

Our paths cross again in a way neither one of us expect and it changes everything. Was it destiny that made it happen? Was it fate?

Or was it something else?

Review – Dirty Little Rendezvous by Emma Hart

image

image

image

Bloody Brilliant!

Dirty Little Rendezvous is an utterly delicious, seductively sweet and oh so hot read. Once I lost myself in the world of Burke and Masters, I was in HEAVEN. This whole book is bloody sensational.

So not only do we get ALL of the Burke brothers in Leila’s story (BONUS), we also get a SUPER HOT, BRITISH SINGER, with TATTOOS, who’s BRITISH and has MUSCLES. He’s FUNNY, he’s FRESH, he has MUSCLES, wait did I say that already? Lord, I praise all things Jase Masters!! He’s ran away with everything he could possibly own in me!! And I don’t want it back!!

As a Brit myself, Emma setting this book in Paris & London and having places I could relate too, was a winner before I even started. My connection to this story was THROUGH THE ROOF. I literally inhaled every word and freaking LOVED every second of it. I was not only consumed, devoured, by the sexiness and the humour Emma pours into her words but also the solid beauty and oh so swoony parts that fill this story making it so electric, I felt like I had fire running through my body all the way through.

I’m so glad that Emma gave Leila a book.  The spunky, sassy sister of the Burke brothers became a part of me when I read the previous stories. She was everything you wanted in a secondary character. Intriguing. Funny. Loveable. And her own story DOES NOT disappoint, in fact it’s BETTER than I could have ever imagined. Leila Burke is a top heroine of mine. She’s EVERYTHING I want to read in a female character. She makes me want to be her. Her reaction to British words was priceless and written brilliantly. The whole thing was utter beautiful perfection.

Overall, I think I’ve read Emma’s best book yet, and her other books are chuffing OUTSTANDING!! So you know, this kind of pushes an already high bar even higher. Still, the morning after I’m drowning in a sea of emotional, swoony feels. I don’t want to pick up another book, I don’t want to lose the happiness these two embedded in me.
I’m sad it’s all over, I cried at the epilogue, literally. The little twist Emma adds in was like the icing on the cake.
I hate rating this book 5 stars as it’s worth so much more.
I will forever love the HOT, TATTED, MUSCLED singers and their FRESH , SASSY and STRONG leading ladies that make up the Burke’s and the Master’s.

And if that’s not enough. We get LOTS more Mila!!!!

FIVE Bloody Brilliant stars.

Sometimes the past becomes the present… And he’s hot, cocky, and British.

Leila Burke expected a lot of things when she joined her brothers on tour in Europe. He wasn’t one of them.

​Jase Masters had no idea what to expect when he agreed to support Dirty B. on tour. She definitely wasn’t it.

It’s been eighteen months.

He remembers that night a little too well.

She insists she has no idea who he is.

He’s rugged and determined.

She’s wild and free.

Together, they’re a tornado.

Keeping it from touching down is the least of their worries.

Review – Hook by Elisabeth Grace

13082656_518358208349429_2432632992583222813_n

Review Graphic

Sexy, mysterious, suspenseful, Hook is not your ordinary love story. It’s the love story of a hooker and a business man. Neither searching for love, but both finding it unexpectedly in each other.
This was my first read of Elisabeth Grace’s work. The blurb had me intrigued from the moment I read it and the cover had me wanting it even more! Grace did not disappoint with Hook!

Hook Teaser1

This is a tale of someone who’s been dealt a bad hand in life. Someone who’s struggled. Those who “loved” her turned their backs, when she needed them most. Brandi, the hooker, whore, prostitute. Call her what you will, but one thing stands true. She’s not ashamed of her work. She’s done what needed to be done in order to give her disabled son the best care possible and still keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. She’s overcome obstacles life’s thrown at her….she’s persevered!
untitled
“Early on, life had handed me that lesson on a tarnished silver platter. But I’d be damned if I sat back and let life roll right on over us, leaving its tread marks behind.”

Mmmm Marco. I can’t way enough about him. Marco Valenti is a hotter than sin, sexy, dreamy Italian who’s in Las Vegas on business. His life is work. He doesn’t have time to do relationships; scheduling the occasional prostitute to satisfy his needs. He uses women as temporary bed warmers. That is…..until Brandi.

“Cosa mi stai facendo?” I looked at him in confusion, having no idea what he’d said. ” What are you doing to me?”

Hook Teaser3

Brandi and Marco have an undeniable, attraction and connection to each other. They come into each other’s lives like a hurricane, shaking up the lives they’ve known since they can remember. The chemistry between these two is breathtakingly palpable! I was in deep swoon with Marco Valenti and if were into chicks, I’d be swooning for Brandi too!

Will Marco’s secrets destroy what they have?

Will Brandi push him away?

“Careful how far out you wade,” he said in a low voice laced with warning. “These are shark-infested waters.”

Hook had me on hooked (pun intended) from page one! The story was mesmerizing, intoxicating. I was so entranced with this story that I couldn’t put it down. Grace brings out the heart pounding, edge of your seat scenes in Hook! I flipped page after page until I had completely finished the book and was left begging for more!

Bravo Elisabeth; on a beautifully written, edge of your seat, steamy read! I can’t wait for Burn!

5 Smoldering Stars!!!

synopsis.jpg

Women loathed me without even knowing my name.
Men coveted the very idea of me.
Escort. Call girl. Prostitute. Hooker. Whore.
I’d heard it all. Done it all.
Over the years I’d felt a lot of things about my occupation…but not regret–never regret. I had my reasons for doing what I did and nothing and no one had ever made me question them.
UNTIL MARCO VALENTI.
He’d changed me and I’d naively fed into the fairy tale.
But Marco wasn’t my Prince Charming.
He had secrets of his own.
Secrets that would eventually rip away everything I held dear.

Review – Between Us by Ella Fox

image

image

Between Us is the breathtakingly brilliant third book in the Renegade Saints series.  This book is Cole’s story and follows his intense, passionate, lust filled love with Devon.
These two have completely stolen my heart. I devoured this book in a matter of hours. Cole’s story is actually one of deep heart break and worry that has shaped him his whole life. Devon is the light at the end of his tunnel. Their intense attraction starts the minute they lay eyes on each other and the blistering connection that they feel around one another oozes from the pages, infiltrating me as the reader, sometimes making me feel like a third wheel. This book is that REAL! Trust me! It’s also INSANELY hot. Cole is a dirty rocker who made me blush and swoon all at the same time.
Devon is a fantastic heroine. She’s strong, sexy and sassy. She was everything I love in a female character. Ella wrote her perfectly.
At times throughout, my heart was in my mouth and my breath caught as we are held by a thread waiting to see what will happen with Ian, Cole and Devon. I couldn’t read fast enough waiting to see how everything would play out. The suspense just added to the heat of the story.
While Between Us mainly focuses on the blistering love and attraction between Devon and Cole we also get glimpses at the other Renegade Saints men.. Which suited me just fine! I love them all. But after reading this, Cole is definitely my favourite. We also get a taster of what’s to come in Tyson’s story. I feel that book is going to be completely AMAZING.
I honestly can’t sing this book enough praises. Between Us sung to me! Five stars aren’t enough for this truly brilliant book!

His lifestyle. His rules.

Is she willing to risk her heart to play his game?

Guitarist Cole Hayes learned early that falling in love is the easiest way to lose. Determined never to go down that road, he sealed his heart off, numbing himself with erotic and sensual pleasures–with men and women alike. The rules were simple: group sex only and never one-on-one.

It’s all so simple until he meets Devon Bannister, the beautiful director shooting the documentary on his band. Suddenly, she’s all he can think about. Neither can deny the attraction and desire between them.
Although Devon is open to exploring Cole’s lifestyle, for the first time in his life, he finds himself reluctant to share.

How can he own all of her, if he’s only willing to give half of himself?
