Review – The Southern Nights Series by M. Never

Southern Nights cover

Review graphic

This was just SO GOOD!

When I started reading this amazing series, I was immediately thrown back to Friday nights, bright lights on the field and football being king from August to November. I’m a Southern girl. Football is a religion. Reading this story reminded me of fall, returning to school and coming of age. No feelings are more intense, no time is more magical. M. Never managed to capture those wonderful, horrible times in the form of a cocky country quarterback and a sassy city girl.

Kam Ellis lives and breathes football. He’s the star of the high school football team and has Alabama in his future. He has a reputation as a player. Every girl in school wants him – until one doesn’t. Laney Summers comes roaring into town from NYC, her celebrity chef father and high powered mother having recently divorced. She’s full of sass and vinegar. She knows about Kamdyn Ellis and refuses to fall for his charm and super star athlete status. From the moment he sees Laney in class, he falls and falls hard. But don’t be fooled by the tough exterior…. Laney is just as attracted to Kam. But she’s fighting it. When a tragic accident and injury almost destroy Kam’s future it’s Laney that stands by his side when he needs her the most.

Thus begins first love and first heartbreak. The journey these two take to finding not only true love but career success, self confidence and family is not smooth, but what an awesome read this series was! Kam and Laney are bound to each other no matter how they may fight or stray. There were moments that these two made me so angry. Their story is so full of angst, misunderstandings, steamy chemistry and just the most loving bond imaginable. Ultimately, this is a story of love overcoming the obstacles and pitfalls of youth that parents want so much for their children to avoid. It’s a second chance love story that just so relatable. The secondary cast of characters in this book – namely Kam’s mother and Laney’s parents – are just as important to this love story as Kam and Laney are.

I just LOVED THIS! It shows that M has such a well rounded talent. She can play the dark and embrace the light in her stories and this is proof. Well done, M! Well done!

5 Roll Tide Stars!

Kamdyn Ellis is the man.

Mr. All-Star athlete and resident bad boy. #7 quarterback on the field, and #1 player off.

Every guy at school wants to be him, and every girl at school wants to date him. Well, except Laney Summers that is. The sassy city girl is the only one immune to Kam’s clear blue eyes and arsenal of southern charm. But when a debilitating injury sidelines Kam’s future and ability to play football, it’s Laney who is tasked to be his tutor while he recuperates at home.

The chemistry between Kam and Laney is undeniable, and after months of ignoring what’s clearly evident, Laney gives in. Allowing herself one night with Kam, no strings attached, no commitment to speak of. Alone, under the stars, on the fifty-yard line, Kam and Laney set out to discover if what they have is real, or just one steamy southern night.

The Southern Nights series is a compilation of three novellas following the story of Kam and Laney, an all-star football player destined for greatness and the sassy city girl who challenges him on every level. This collection is steamy, fun, flirty and full of heart!

Review – Firefly by Molly McAdams

Firefly by Molly McAdams
My rating: 6 of 5 stars


“Without love, there would be no reason to stand back up and fight. Without love, there would be no reason to live.”



Here I sit hours after reading, still STUNNED SPEECHLESS from Firefly by Molly McAdams, a STUNNING STORY that stole, stripped, and shattered both my heart and soul. It’s as if this story was my perfect match, my soulmate in words. Firefly felt like it was made for me: MY PERFECT STORM.

This story stole my breath, where I was left gasping for air. This story stole my soul, a soul that equally shattered and soared. This story stole my heart, helpless from the words that squeezed out every emotion, but a heart that bled for and beat for this book. Actually, this story didn’t steal a thing. I SURRENDERED my body, breath, heart, soul, and every emotion to Firefly.

>>> TRUTH OR DARE ? <<<

TRUTH: Three lines. Just three lines of this story had me in tears.

Firefly gripped me immediately, chasing my heart and soul like a fierce fire where I fell to the flames. This firestorm of feels was a fight I would not…did not want to win. Firefly lit me up with life, one where every breath matched every breathtakingly beautiful word. Light to light. Dark to dark. Beauty to beauty. Feel to feel. I FELT FIREFLY EVERYWHERE.

>>> TRUTH OR DARE ? <<<

TRUTH: When I ‘met’ the hero and heroine, it was INSTA-LOVE. The characters made me fall in love with them immediately where I rooted for their forbidden romance to fold into love. I felt Lily and Dare’s story where it became mine too.


She glowed so damn bright … and when we were together, it was like setting a dry forest on fire in the dead of night.

Lily is as equally brave as she is beautiful. She is a light in a dark world, one where she doesn’t belong. I loved her strength and admired her courage to risk it all for love.


This connection … it felt as if my soul was screaming — begging — for me to recognize its mate was within reach.


Dare, this dark hero with a huge heart stole my heart! This alpha was my addiction. His pain was mine. Dare set me on fire! My body was on fire while my heart bled. Dare made me SMOLDER and SWOON!!!


“I was made to love you. I just found you in the wrong life.”



I was GUTTED with words that both gripped my heart and tore it apart!!!

Together, Lily and Dare are mesmerizing…just magical! This is a couple fighting fate and all the odds. I loved watching them conquer their demons! Dare and Lily have a shared bond that neither can grasp nor get….one not of merely lovers but of destined soulmates.


“How do I feel? Firefly … I’m fucking terrified.”

“Of what?” I asked when the silence became too much.

“You.”


These words stole my breath, bearing down on my heart where it beat and bled for this book.

>>> TRUTH OR DARE ? <<<

DARE: I dare you not to feel this story while reading.


“I would stay until it ends.”

I knew how this would end. We were like fire, but fire never lasts. And when it’s over, devastation is left in its wake.



Firefly is devastatingly beautiful, a book that bleeds heart and hope. I cried a mix of sorrow and swoon. My HEART BLED for this book while my SOUL SHATTERED and SOARED.

My emotions were entangled around every word.

Firefly is a movie that plays in your head while reading. Firefly is a Romeo and Juliette romance with a modern day twist. It’s forbidden love. It’s messy love. It’s PERFECTLY IMPERFECT LOVE. It’s so much love. Oh did I love thee so much!!!

A book that bared its soul to me, Firefly is a TOP 2017 READ!!! Romantic suspense fits Molly McAdams like a glove, so PERFECT! Firefly is FLAWLESS!!! Molly McAdams’ words are poignant poetry that glide across the pages, so smooth and soulful. This incredibly talented writer writes from the heart and you can tell her heart is poured into every beautiful and brilliant word. Her heartfelt writing hits my heart hard like a hurricane EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. EVERY WORD MATTERS. Meaningful. Mesmerizing. Magnificent.

Firefly makes all senses come to life where you can’t help but FEEL ALIVE while reading. Passionately poignant and heartbreakingly beautiful, Firefly lights every feel on fire while slaying the soul. Oh was my SOUL SLAYED by a story that OWNED EVERY OUNCE OF ME!!! My soul sparked to life like fireflies from the soul-searing story called FIREFLY by Molly McAdams. I was a moth drawn to a fierce and feel-wielding flame; the flame was Firefly. I DARE you not to feel this FIREFLY!!!


I would let my heart be destroyed a thousand times if it meant a thousand more days with him.



🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ‘dare you not to feel’ stars 

View all my reviews

As the Princess of the Irish-American Mob, there’s no shortage of men ready to help guard and protect me. To slowly suffocate me to the point of seeking freedom—a place where I can breathe.

Kieran Hayes has been saving me for as long as I can remember. It’s in his blood, and one of the many reasons I fell in love with him. Until my favorite trait became his biggest flaw, making me resent the man I love. An unwavering warrior, his love for me has been shrouded by those instincts.

Save Lily. Protect Lily. Hide Lily. Cage Lily.

What I wasn’t prepared for was Dare—the man who would set my world on fire with just one touch. He saw straight through to my soul, as though he knew I was desperate for freedom, and silently demanded my heart from the beginning.

And I didn’t expect Dare to be Demitri Borello—the reason for so many deaths in my family. A man who will take my life the moment he finds out who I am.

Despite it all, I’ll love him until that moment comes.

A fire will die if there is no oxygen for it to consume. Ours is rapidly stealing every last breath we can sacrifice to it.

***The Redemption series is a series of romantic suspense standalones***

“Nothing’s getting past me,” I assured her.

Her breath washed over my lips as I leaned in to kiss her again when she whispered, “I thought we were talking about you.”

I paused for a few seconds, then looked up into her hazel eyes. “What?”

“I think I’m in danger from you.”

My brow pulled tight, and I forced out a low, frustrated laugh. “Me.”

She nodded again, the movement of her head so slow as her eyes explored mine. “I need you to let me go for so many reasons, but I easily forget why when you don’t. I think there was a reason neither of us crossed that invisible barrier before today. Because being in your arms?” She hesitated, her tongue quickly darting out to wet her lips. “Trust me, it’s dangerous.”

A weight pressed down on my chest, making it hard to breathe. Because damn it if she wasn’t right.

There were dozens of girls over the years who’d meant nothing more than a night. Maybe two. Not one could I remember the name of, most I couldn’t remember their face.

Then there’d been one who I would’ve sold my soul for if I could’ve had one more night with her.

My days with her had been everything. A slow burn that had built over time until I hadn’t been able to get enough of her. Until she’d meant too much.

And there hadn’t been a girl since.

Not a second glance. Not a thought. Nothing.

Until one morning at Brooks a few years ago.

But there was nothing slow about the thoughts and needs for the girl pressed against me. There hadn’t been since the very first morning I’d found her staring at a mirror like it had the power to destroy her world. Like that possibility fascinated her.

Fuck, if I didn’t need to find out why.

Dangerous was exactly what we were. Only she had no idea just how much.
My gut twisted as unwanted thoughts entered my mind, but I pushed them away. Because I knew what I needed to do. I needed to let her go and force myself not to follow.

But when there’s a flicker of light in your life after so much darkness, it’s impossible to stay away.

And this girl burned so damn bright.

Calling to me and beckoning me toward her, and I knew no matter how many times I let her slip away, I would follow her just to catch her again.

I brushed my thumb across her full lips. “Goddamn firefly.”

Review – Beautiful Mistake by Vi Keeland

Beautiful Mistake by Vi Keeland 

Well, I’ve sat on my review for a day now. I’m not sure I can ever put into words how mind blowing Beautiful Mistake actually was. Once again I’m IN AWE of Vi’s words and lyrical talent. 

Beautiful Mistake is a MASTERPIECE. I honestly do not know how Vi repeatedly writes books THIS GOOD. I mean each and every book captivated and consumes. Each and every book feels fresh and flows perfectly. However, this book excelled all those previous to it. It eclipsed her previous works for me. Vi made this book SO MUCH MORE. Beautiful Mistake is like a symphony. As we progressed deeper and deeper into the book the beat of my heart gradually began to beat faster, my breaths came harder, with each and every build of the masterpiece Vi stole my heart. 

Beautiful Mistake touches on a student/teacher romance. There is no huge age gap and it’s more a Professor/TA romance but it still managed to have that forbidden aspect that made this book sizzle and burn. Throughout we get flashbacks of a past that pulls at every emotion, flooding the senses with a desperate need to know what happened. The suspense that weaves through this book was intense and addicting. As with all Vi’s books, there was trademark comedy, laugh out loud one liners and scenarios that left me giggling and falling deep in love with our hero and heroine. 

I looove Caine West. I’m 100% infatuated with him. He’s something else people. His words made my burn up and turned me to goo AT THE SAME TIME. He’s dirty, so dirty, but so raw, swoony and really romantic. Vi seriously does write some of the best hero’s EVER. Coupled with Caine was the fantastic, Rachel. Rachel was the PERFECT heroine for Caine. Super sweet, so funny and incredibly sexy. They matched together perfectly and stole my heart, while they fought for each others.

Beautiful Mistake consumed me. It became my addiction and I devoured this heartbreakingly beautiful romance. It undoubtedly became a favourite of mine and a top read of 2017!

A sexy new standalone from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Vi Keeland

The first time I met Caine West was in a bar.
He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out.
When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight—telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass.
You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend–smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married.
He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he’d done.
Especially when that lazy smile graced his perfect face in response to my rant.
Only it turned out, the man I’d just told off wasn’t the right guy.
Oops. My mistake.
Embarrassed, I slunk out without an apology.
I was never going to see the handsome stranger again anyway, right?
That’s what I thought…until I walked into class the next morning.
Well, hello Professor West, I’m your new teaching assistant.
I’ll be working under you…figuratively speaking.
Although the literal interpretation might not be such a bad thing—working under Professor West.
This was going to be interesting…

Review – Sexy Beast by Piper Rayne

Sexy Beast by Piper Rayne

Sexy Beast is just that. A sexy beast of a read that is EASILY Piper Rayne’s BEST BOOK YET! 
This book is super sexy. I loved EVERY MINUTE  of it. Garrett is my FAVE single dad yet! Lordy, that man was insanely hot, moody, broody, delicious and hella dirty! 

His relationship with Charleigh was EXPLOSIVE. The undeniable attraction and chemistry between Garrett and Charleigh was palpable. 

This story well and truly packed a punch though, with an intense slow burn, alongside a heartbreaking past that Garrett endured, my emotions were well and truly stirred up. Mix that with a forbidden aspect of best friends little sister romance and Sexy Beast was a WINNER! 

I absolutely ADORED these two as a couple and breezed through their story with blissful ease.

I loved this sexy, sinful romance and cannot wait for more Piper Rayne goodness.

It’s time.

Time to get a life.

Time to start over.

Time to move beyond the past.

The guys in the Single Dads Club would tell you it was time years ago, but until recently, the risk of hurting my little girl outweighed the benefit of getting a piece of ass.

Now that I have a tween daughter on my hands? It’s becoming more apparent with every poster hung on the wall, every fight over wearing make-up and every uncomfortable conversation about puberty, that at least one of us needs a female touch in our lives.

Jesus. I can’t even think the words ‘female touch’ without thinking of her.

Charlotte Rose. Charlie.

She’s everything I shouldn’t want, but someone needs to tell that to my damn libido because every time she’s around I have a constant case of blue balls.

There’s a list of reasons why I shouldn’t give into what I feel—she’s my best friend’s little sister, she’s seen me at my most vulnerable, and the biggest one—she’s the first person in twelve years who has the potential to break me.

Review – The Unrequited by Saffron A Kent

The Unrequited by Saffron A Kent

Incredible. Absolutely INCREDIBLE. I’m speechless. 

That was the first line I wrote for this review and then sat for 2 hours thinking about what I could actually say. I’m still a little all over the place and lost for words. This book is ANGSTY PERFECTION. For me that was an absolute winner. But, that’s not all. This is a student/teacher romance *fist bump*. It’s taboo and raw and gritty. It’s uncomfortable in places then it’s simple and easy in other places. The flow and masterful mixing of all the subject matter is done with delicate precision. It’s so obvious to see that these characters meant so much to the author and she took her time making their story as true as it was. As brutal as it was. As breathtaking as it was.

“I’ll pour the gasoline, light the match, and watch you burn, Layla—and trust me, you’re going to love it. I’m going to ruin you for every other man out there and you’re going to love every second of it.”

I want to say that I shouldn’t have loved Thomas as much as I did. I shouldn’t have liked him at all. I won’t say why because I’ll give too much away but trust me I just shouldn’t have liked him. But, and here is where Saffron blew me away.. I slowly fell in love with a broken, beast of a man who shut himself off and pushed everyone away. I fell in love with his undying devotion to EVERY character in this book. It’s a contradiction I know, but, that push and pull from him alone was done so well, it’s where a lot of the angst came in and I loved it. I fell in love with HIM. And Saffron made that possible.

“Because I’m a girl who’s not supposed to be the love of someone’s life, not with my selfishness. I was meant to live in the shadows and secrets. I can be Thomas’ secret, for a little while, at least— until I absorb all of his pain and set him free.”

Saffron also made it possible for me to adore Layla. The crazy, messed up, beautifully broken Layla. This woman may not click with everyone, some may find her way too crazy. But the beauty of all this was in the way Saffron wrote Layla making her beliefs honest, so gut wrenchingly honest. 

Anyone who has been in love knows that love can make you crazy. Anyone who’s been in love and not had it returned can make you crazy. It’s a fact that love does make us crazy and while The Unrequited focuses on that crazy side of love and the raw, brutal journey it can take you on, it also focuses on the beauty, the hope and the strength that can develop from love. 

“The tiny words on the paper seem to have risen and attached themselves to my skin. I feel them everywhere, all the time, as if I know them.”

This quote contains SO MUCH TRUTH. This book is under my skin, coursing through my veins. The Unrequited is not your sweet and flowery romance. It’s not boy meets girl, fall in love all sweet and swoony. No, this book is raw, it’s brutal, it’s gritty and uncomfortable it’s dangerous but it’s filled with intensity, explosive passion, heat, honesty and all consuming love. And it will stay with me for a long time and quite easily become one of my TOP reads of 2017.

Layla Robinson is not crazy. She is suffering from unrequited love. But it’s time to move on. No more stalking, no more obsessive calling.

What she needs is a distraction. The blue-eyed guy she keeps seeing around campus could be a great one—only he is the new poetry professor—the married poetry professor.

Thomas Abrams is a stereotypical artist—rude, arrogant, and broody—but his glares and taunts don’t scare Layla. She might be bad at poetry, but she is good at reading between the lines. Beneath his prickly façade, Thomas is lonely, and Layla wants to know why. Obsessively.

Sometimes you do get what you want. Sometimes you end up in the storage room of a bar with your professor and you kiss him. Sometimes he kisses you back like the world is ending and he will never get to kiss you again. He kisses you until you forget the years of unrequited love; you forget all the rules, and you dare to reach for something that is not yours.

NOTE: Please be aware that this book deals with sensitive topics like cheating. 18+ Only.

Now scarred and tormented by nightmares, Sydney hides her fears from everyone as she moves back home and takes over her mother’s bakery.

 

Just when she believes she has a handle on her life, a mysterious man waltzes into her shop and turns her world upside down. Behind the beard and silver eyes Sydney knows he’s hiding something, but is the attraction worth losing herself again?

 

Dylan Bennett knows he is in trouble the first time he lays eyes on Sydney. Behind her wavy blonde hair and flour-covered clothes he knows that she holds the key to his undoing, but he can’t risk it.

 

As an undercover agent, Dylan lives his life by strict codes and calculations. He knows one wrong move could put Sydney in danger, but something about her draws him in and that may prove to be the biggest risk he has ever taken. What happens when she finds out the lies behind those silver eyes?

 

Will the deception become too much for Sydney or will she fight alongside Dylan to bury the one person who brings her past back to the surface?

Review – Atheists Who Kneel and Pray by Tarryn Fisher 


Atheists Who Kneel and Pray by Tarryn Fisher

My rating: 6 of 5 stars

In one night, I sucked down Tarryn Fisher’s words like they were my air to breathe, inhaling Atheists Who Kneel and Pray. Tarryn Fisher breathes life into a story that hits straight to the heart. I knew that only after a few words, this soul-searing story would be MY EVERYTHING and that it was.

I couldn’t bring myself to the end that night so I savored that last ten percent the next day….

Then I sat, STUNNED SPEECHLESS, as the full force of this storm of a story HIT ME, this hurricane in words. Tears streamed down my face, eyes that were etched for a while with the waterworks that fell hard from mere words…words that wielded PASSION and POWER in spades. This whirlwind of words took me under its spell and all I could do while reading … experiencing … feeling … was pray that I would survive this story.

Atheists Who Kneel and Pray is a title as UNEQUIVOCALLY UNIQUE as the story itself, a tale so UTTERLY RAW and REAL. Tarryn Fisher’s words aren’t just part of a story you’re reading: They are an experience … a journey YOU LIVE and FEEL. I felt every emotion that the hero and heroine felt; their hauntingly beautiful love story was mine. Atheists Who Kneel and Pray is not just a story but a full-blown immersion where the heart, breath, and soul collide as they become one.

Gorgeous musician, David, needs a muse to give his songs that edge. Beautiful Yara is cynical, a non-believer of love, a floater from city to city. She is David’s perfect muse. The problem is that David believes in love.

The chemistry between Yara and David is palpable; their connection is passionate. I could feel their fire spark through the pages. Fire and ice is one fierce combination.

This was what it was like to be worshipped.


Real love is sacrifice and commitment.

Love was a leap of faith. Love was just a word until someone gave it a definition.


The problem is that love is not one-sided where one half worships the other; it’s reciprocal.



Don’t let it be too late.


I fell fast. I fell hard. I FELL IN LOVE WITH EVERYTHING in Atheists Who Kneel and Pray. I don’t know why I waited so long to meet Tarryn Fisher’s wonderful and wondrous writing, but I was a fool to procrastinate. Tarryn Fisher writes from the heart where her heart is poured into those beautiful and brilliant words. I felt Tarryn Fisher through her words. I just now need to devour her other masterpieces so I can feel the rest. How could I not feel those too?

Passionately poignant, heartbreakingly beautiful, and spiritually soulful, Atheists Who Kneel and Pray is A STORY FELT not read. I devoured Atheists Who Kneel and Pray with tears streaming down my face, tears of despair and desperation, tears of heartbreak and hope, and tears for love that never dies. My SOUL WAS SHATTERED YET SOOTHED, as my HEART BROKE in the most beautiful way from this beauty in words. Atheists Who Kneel and Pray is heartbreaking and heartwarming, the sweetest torture of a tale, MESSY LOVE AT ITS BEST.

Atheists Who Kneel and Pray is DEVASTATINGLY BEAUTIFUL, a book that bares itself to you but strips your soul bare too. This romance BREATHES LIFE INTO THE PAGES in a touching and turbulent tale where you can’t help but feel something spiritual … something MORE. It’s as if Atheists Who Kneel and Pray is fueled by fate, stamped with a spirit, perhaps something supernatural, which seeps straight to the soul. I can’t help but still feel this soulful story swimming through me, crashing hard into my heart like the tide, my heart pounding from this roller coaster of a Tarryn Fisher ride, a ride I never want to to stop feeling…a ride I never want to end.

“Love is not a part of something else. It’s the only thing.”

Yara Phillips is a wandering muse.

She dates men who need her, but always moves on to something new, never staying in one place for very long.

David Lisey is in need of a muse.

A talented musician lacking lyrical inspiration. When he first sees her, he knows he’s found what he’s been looking for.

Yara believes she can give David exactly what he needs to reach his full potential:

A broken heart.

David’s religion is love. 

Yara’s religion is heartache.

Neither is willing to surrender, but religion always requires sacrifice. 


Dear Yara,

The bands in London, November 12th. Want to catch up?

David

So casual. So nonchalant. You’d think we were only acquaintances, that we’d once sipped a couple of beers together instead of tattooing love on our skin and reciting marriage vows. I read the e-mail again and analyze the shit out of it. How can I not? I count out the words: thirteen. The punctuation: four. His name, my name. A flippant, casual turn of phrase: catch up. In the end, there’s only so much psychoanalyzing you can do to a thirteen-word e-mail. I move on with my life, feeling rather pathetic. But not before I e-mail him back. And okay, sure, I don’t move on with my life. What does that even entail? Forgetting? Forgiving? Being happy? Besides, I know what he wants to talk about. I know why he’s coming.

Hi David,

Yeah, sounds good. Let me know when and where.

Yara

My e-mail is a word shorter.

I’m that petty.

Review – Jilted by Sawyer Bennett 

Jilted by Sawyer Bennett

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just died and went to ROMANCE HEAVEN, Jilted there by LOVE…so much LOVE for Sawyer Bennett’s latest love story!!! Second-chance romances are my weakness, and Jilted was my DREAMY DRUG. I am still HIGH on this romance!!!

This story…I did not expect it to UTTERLY CAPTIVATE and CONSUME ME from the very first page. Jilted paraded its pages in front me like Miss America, flaunting its Hollywood glitz and glamor while DAZZLING ME with small town charm. A Southern hero and heroine sealed the deal for this Southern gal, as like loves like. There is nothing sweeter than a small town romance, especially one of soulmates.

Eden, a small town-turned Hollywood starlet with one of my favorite names, is as beautiful as she is bold. This heroine is a mix of strength, sweetness, and sass. I bowed to her ‘take no prisoners meets Southern lady’ character.

Cooper is ALL-ALPHA PERFECTION: tall, built, sexy, smart, strong, stubborn, and sweet. This alpha is a Southern gentlemen by day and delicious dominant at night with both a dirty and sugary sweet mouth that is bound to make you melt.

A playboy, his one love got away when they were still young.

“I’ve been ruined for anything but Eden.”


When Eden and Cooper collide many years after their childhood romance broke apart, it is one fireball of an explosion of fiery tempers and nostalgic feels. The heat is off-the-charts combustible, a chemical storm neither can deny.

“I’m going to possess every part of you.”


HOLY HOT!!! I SMOLDERED at Cooper’s all-alpha words that POSSESSED ME.

“Please say you want me and you’ll stay.”


I SWEATED and PLEADED with the pages that this couple would finally find their way and stay…together.

“I believe I was put on this earth for the sole purpose of loving you.”


Hollywood glam meets the small town South in Jilted, an epic love story that is hot-as-sin sexy and sweet-as-pie swoony. I SWOONED, sunk into this second-chance romance, rooting for two halves of soulmates to become whole again. This story SWEPT ME AWAY!!!

Jilted is my new favorite Sawyer Bennett romance, as it’s the perfect blend of smolder, sweetness, and swoon.Jilted is an ENCHANTING ESCAPE. With its Sweet Home Alabama vibe, it’s like watching and reading this epic love story of soulmates. Prepare to MELT from the MAGICAL words of Jilted, a story heavy in heat and heart, as you bask in the glow of second-chance love. I’m still floating on Cloud Nine.

“True love always finds a way.”

Hollywood hath no fury like a woman scorned. In this fun, flirty second-chance romance from New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett, an aspiring starlet reconnects with her first love.

“Sawyer Bennett never fails to deliver heroes I fall hard for and heroines I adore.”—Violet Duke

Eden Goodnight went to Los Angeles to make it big, not to be publicly humiliated by her cheating fiancé at a red-carpet premiere. But when Eden returns to her hometown to put the scandal behind her, she can barely find a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. Turns out the locals are worse than the paparazzi, and they all think she’s turned into a spoiled brat. But in a strange twist of fate, the one person who seems to understand what Eden’s going through is Cooper Mayfield . . . the boy she left behind.

Small-town charm is no match for the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. At least that’s what Coop’s been telling himself all these years. As Eden’s old flame—and the landscaper for her family’s historic home—Coop feels some responsibility for getting her out of her funk. But as soon as he sees that million-dollar smile, he’s a goner. Soon they’re making out like teenagers again. But when a life-changing role falls into Eden’s lap, Coop just hopes she doesn’t give up on a love that’s meant to be.

Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released more than 30 books and has been featured on both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists on multiple occasions.

A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.

Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two.

Review – Until It Fades by K.A. Tucker 

Until It Fades by K.A. Tucker

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I’m about to meet a new or new-to-me author’s writing for the first time, it’s a HUGE HIGH. The anticipation … the wonder … the unknown … it’s all such a RUSH!!! I finally met KA Tucker’s words in Until It Fades, and was WOWED by the depth and dominance of her writing. I REVELED in this story’s POWER. ALL-CONSUMING and AWE-INSPIRING, Until It Fades is a Cinderella story that casts a spell on the heart and soul.

I DEVOURED Until It Fades in a day. Hours was all it took to breathe in this book, inhaling the words like air, my feels the fumes that floated around me. This romance is a SLOW BURN and oh did I burn for this book!!! I was CAUGHT as the words pulled me in, CLAIMED by both a brave hero and heroine who I loved right away, and CAPTIVATED by this story that struck my soul and held my heart in its hands.

“Consider this your second chance. A way to redeem yourself, if you feel like you need it.”

If you had a second chance at love and life, would you take it? If you made mistakes, would you want redemption? A second chance is a gift to be spent on building a better life, and that’s what the fierce heroine in Until It Fades set out to do.

I ADORED and ADMIRED one of the strongest heroines I’ve ever read in Catherine. Like her Greek name, she is a warrior, a goddess of strength. Catherine puts the ‘hero’ in heroine, a young woman who made mistakes in her past and lives with them daily, but unexpectedly finds redemption one night when a stranger’s life collides with hers. Catherine goes from ‘Scarlett letter-stamped’ to savior in one night to a strange man who, perhaps, was not her accidental meeting but her fate.

Does he feel what I’m feeling, too? Is his heart racing right now? Or is it just me?

Brett, hot and humble hockey captain, is PURE PERFECTION. I LOVED this alpha with a huge heart!!! This man is a knight in shining armor but his hero is no damsel in distress.

With each encounter between Brett and Catherine meet, it’s a collision of chemistry.

 

I’m having a hard time breathing.

“Tell me you believe me.”

“I believe —”

He steals my last word with his mouth.



I could FEEL their MAGIC, this blend of smolder and sweetness, and it was one POTENT MIX. I morphed into lava, the beauty in these words made me FEEL them too. This prince and princess who have battled the odds need to ride off into the sunset together.

 

“I’ve never wanted anyone as much as I want you.”

 

Until It Fades is a fierce FAIRY TALE of FEELS that you can’t help but LOVE, a story that steals the heart from the start! KA Tucker instantly moved to my list of TOP AUTHORS. This author is a new top writer of mine, and I’m a fan for life. I can’t wait for more by KA Tucker!!!

This Cinderella tale with a twist was my happy, my heart, and my hope. Until It Fades is MAGIC in WORDS, words that MELTED ME. I fell in love over and over again while reading this STARS-IN-YOUR-EYES STORY of strength, survival, and second chances at life and love. I can’t stop smiling from this slow burn of a book that rendered me HOPELESSLY SPELLBOUND. I’m still FLOATING ON CLOUD NINE!!!

“It’s good to have dreams. Without dreams, we wouldn’t have goals. And without goals … what’s the point of living?”

Twenty-four-year-old truck stop waitress and single mother Catherine Wright has simple goals: to give her five-year-old daughter a happy life and to never again be the talk of the town in Balsam, Pennsylvania: population two thousand outside of tourist season.

And then one foggy night, on a lonely road back from another failed attempt at a relationship, Catherine saves a man’s life. It isn’t until after the police have arrived that Catherine realizes exactly who it is she has saved: Brett Madden, hockey icon and media darling.

Catherine has already had her fifteen minutes of fame and the last thing she wants is to have her past dragged back into the spotlight, only this time on a national stage. So she hides her identity. It works.

For a time.

But when she finds the man she saved standing on her doorstep, desperate to thank her, all that changes. What begins as an immediate friendship quickly turns into something neither of them expected. Something that Catherine isn’t sure she can handle; something that Catherine is afraid to trust.

Because how long can an extraordinary man like Brett be interested in an ordinary woman like Catherine…before the spark fades?

Review – Wicked Grind by J. Kenner

Wicked Grind by J. Kenner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Second chance romances are my weakness. J Kenner’s sensual and sweet second chance romance, Wicked Grind, was MY KRYPTONITE.There is nothing as passionate and powerful than two former lovers rekindling that flame and two broken souls becoming whole again. Shiver-me-sexy meets sugary-sweet in Wicked Grind, a second chance romance that SEDUCES with every word.

I DEVOURED Wicked Grind that quickly became MY SWEET ADDICTION. Wicked Grind hums with DESIRE. This COLLISION of childhood lovers was my SWEET ACHE and I could not turn the pages fast enough. I LOVED the hero and heroine, and their UNDENIABLE attraction so much!

Wyatt is a tall, dark, built, and sexy world famous photographer whose work is edgy and enticing. Wyatt is fire-hot and I could not help but MELT!!! When his work collides with his personal life in the form of beautiful Kelsey, his childhood sweetheart, it’s one crash that may cause one or both of them to get burned.

I SMOLDERED as the fireworks ignited from these former flames as the words fused with fire. This couple is the perfect match. I felt their connection surge through the pages. The sexual tension and poignant past between Kelsey and Wyatt GRIPPED ME HARD where I was GLUED to their sizzling story.

“Can you handle knowing I’ll see you raw and vulnerable? And not just see you. Do you understand that I’m the one who’s going to take you there?”


I SWOONED as the sorrow mixed with sweetness hit my heart hard.

“I’m invisible.”

“You’re not invisible to me.”

I SWEATED from the powerful push and pull of this story that tugged my heart in every direction.

“You know my conditions. Now ask yourself what you want. And then ask yourself how much you want it.”




J. Kenner is the queen of seduction and oh did Wicked Grind SEDUCE EVERY OUNCE OF ME!!! With writing as smooth as silk with strength in spades, a sweet and sexy hero, and a soulful second-chance romance, I was a GONER!!! I was so sunk into this love story…hook…line…sinker!!!

With its undeniable chemistry and unparalleled intensity, Wicked Grind is PURE INTOXICATION. I LOVED this ENTICING ESCAPE!!! While this story is tied to the spellbinding Stark world, Wicked Grind is fresh and fiercely stands on its own. Wicked Grind is one WILD RIDE! This love story is POWER and PASSION in words, and I am panting for more.


Even in my fantasies, I can’t bring myself to give us a happily ever after.

💋💋💋💋💋 seductive kisses

Sometimes it feels so damn good to be bad

Photographer Wyatt Royce’s career is on the verge of exploding. All he needs is one perfect model to be the centerpiece of his sexy, controversial show. Find her, and Wyatt is sure to have a winner.

Then Kelsey Draper walks in. Stunning. Vibrant. And far too fragile for a project like this. Wyatt should know—after all, he remembers only too well why their relationship ended all those years ago.

Determined to break free from her good girl persona, Kelsey wants spice. Adventure. And she’s certain that Wyatt is just the man to help.

But when Wyatt agrees to give her the job only if he has complete control—on camera and in his bed—Kelsey can’t help but wonder if she’s in too deep. Because how can a good girl like her ever be enough for a man like Wyatt?

All Wicked novels stand alone
