Review-Gone For You by Riley Hart

February 7, 2017Leave a comment

My rating is 6 out of 5 stars.

Riley Hart is at it again. Grabbing my heart and soul with every word that she writes. Not only are her books sexy, they have emotions so strong that you can feel the characters pain and sorrow. This book was EVERYTHING. Yes, I cried like a baby during a few parts, but that is how you know a book is phenomenal. To drag you into the story and feel like you truly know those characters. I would say I’m blown away, but I’m beyond that right now. *drops the mic*

Oliver and Matt have been best of friends since childhood. Oliver was so in love with Matt but he kept those feelings bottled up feeling like Matt would never want him. Matt never showed any signs, at least.

Years go on. Matt moves to NY to pursue his music career but fails. He becomes a model. He is slowly dying on the inside but he hides it so well. He can’t hide that from Oliver though. When he comes back to LA to get away, Oliver has him all figured out, but Matt doesn’t want to hear it. He wants to make it on his own. He has too much pride.

These two can only be in close quarters so long though before those sexual feelings surface. They can convince themselves all they want that its only sex, but they are Gone For Each Other. Just like I’m gone for both of them. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing.

Oliver Hayes wears his heart on his sleeve, and his friends never let him forget it. Every Friday night spent at Wild Side, their favorite West Hollywood bar, Oliver’s lack of hookups becomes the hot topic. It’s not that he doesn’t want a good time. He just wants it to mean something, which is a lofty goal when he’s still pining after his childhood crush, Matt, who left ten years ago to start a new life in New York City.
Matt Daniels has always felt most at home seated at a piano. He might not have entirely fit in with his family and friends, but he was always able to find himself in music. Or at least he did before he gave up his dream a lifetime ago. Now, he has a successful modeling career and should be enjoying every second of it. Yet nothing feels right, and Matt fears he’s losing himself.
Just when Oliver decides to get over Matt for good, Matt waltzes back into LA. As Matt struggles to understand what he’s missing in his seemingly perfect life, he falls right back into leaning on Oliver for support. Things aren’t what they used to be between them, though. They tumble into bed together, and it’s hard not to continue ending up there. For the first time in years, Matt’s inspired to compose again, reigniting a spark he thought long extinguished.
But as always, Oliver can’t keep his heart in check, and soon Matt realizes he’s gone for Oliver too. The biggest question is, can he fully give himself to someone if he still hasn’t figured out how to love himself?

Preview of GONE FOR YOU
Oliver opened the door and took one step into the room before his eyes hit Matt. Matt sitting on the side of his bed wearing nothing but a pair of black shorts. His dark brown hair looked wet as it hung against his forehead, a veil between Matt’s eyes and him. Had he showered before he’d gone down to play? Tried to talk himself out of it the same way Oliver had forced himself not to go downstairs?

Matt’s right leg bounced up and down like a jackhammer as he looked at the floor and didn’t speak. Oliver didn’t either. He didn’t know what to say, so he just took another step into the room, and then another.

It was then when Matt’s head tilted up, that he shook his hair off his forehead and his eyes met Oliver’s searing with something that he didn’t understand. He thought maybe there was some pain in there…a little confusion, but more that Oliver couldn’t read.

His breath caught when Matt pushed to his feet. The shorts hung low on his slender hips, and he was sure Matt didn’t have underwear beneath them.

His chest was smooth. He had a light trail of brown hair that dipped below his shorts, which hung so low he could see the top of Matt’s pubes.

Despite how thin he was, too thin if you asked Oliver, his muscles were well defined. He had a lean six-pack that rose slightly as Matt breathed.

Jesus, he was so fucking sexy, so beautiful it seemed unreal.

Matt moved toward him again. His gaze turned more predatory as chaos erupted inside of Oliver—pain and confusion and lust…was that what he saw in Matt too? Lust was the missing piece?

His thoughts went haywire, snapping and buzzing with years of pent up energy. And then he was moving toward Matt too. He didn’t know what they were doing, didn’t know where it came from—at least on Matt’s part—but the second they met in the middle of the room, their mouths crashed together. Matt’s hand slid behind his head, cupped it with his fingers, tangled in Oliver’s wet hair. Oliver’s fingers locked onto Matt’s lean hips, felt his hipbone press into his hand and he wanted to get on his knees and taste them. Wanted to lick and suck and explore every fucking inch of Matt’s body with his tongue.

“What are we doing?” he asked when Matt’s skillful mouth traveled down his throat.

Matt sucked on the spot where his neck met his shoulder, before he replied, “I don’t know, Ollie. I just know…know that I need you right now.”
He could hear Matt warring with himself, hear it in the rough edge to his voice. Feel it in the way his body tensed up when he said the word need. It wasn’t easy for Matt to need anyone or anything, but Oliver would take on the fucking universe to make sure Matt had it. There wasn’t a time in his life when he wouldn’t, but this moment right here? He couldn’t pretend this was just for Matt. Couldn’t pretend he wasn’t greedy for him, that the fire searing through him for Matt was based on anything more than his primal hunger for the man. To have him, take him, fuck him, even if it was only once. He’d wanted Matt for years, loved him since he was a kid—and as they stood in the middle of his room, Matt’s hand running up and down his back, his cock pressed against Oliver’s leg, he damn sure planned to have him. In that moment, he didn’t give a shit about the consequences.

Review – Never & Again by Alissa York

February 7, 2017Leave a comment

Alissa York has written an absolutely amazing second chance love story with that little touch of taboo that makes Lydia and Jacob’s story even sexier!

She met him when she was a high school senior and he was a student teacher. They were drawn to each other but never acted on their feelings. They knew it was wrong… that it would only lead to heartache and loss. But a literal run in the day of graduation would change the course of Lydia and Jacob’s lives forever. Their relationship began that day – burning hot, even though they agreed to one rule. It’s only sex, no feelings would be involved.

They both knew that it was a lie… that is was STILL a lie.

The years pass and Lydia and Jacob find themselves together again – another literal run in. But this time… this meeting comes with revelations that shake Jacob to his very foundation. After losing his mother, his home and discovering that his wife was a cheater could Jacob finally have all that he’s ever wanted and have it with Lydia? He’s never stopped loving her and he can feel in his heart that she’s never stopped loving him either. Decision made. Never again would he be without her. There may be obstacles in the way but he’s not going to stop until he has her in his life, his home and his bed. Lydia knows that nothing good can come of this. She knows that as soon as she gives Jacob everything he’s going to leave her again. With so much more at stake, how can she trust him? How can she risk another broken heart?

This was a fantastic read that I couldn’t put down once I started. The story was beautifully written, the pace was just perfect. Lydia and Jacob’s steamy scenes kept me turning the pages and fanning my face, while the twists and turns on their road to happily ever happily made me scream at my kindle. Alissa’s talent is growing, and it shows in Never & Again. I am excited to see what she has coming next with the Broadway series! I highly recommend this up and coming author.

Brilliantly and fantastically done, Alissa!

5 Amazing Stars!

Lydia Reed is a busy woman. Raising a pre-teen as a single mom is no easy task, but there really wasn’t another option.

Jacob Teller’s life has not turned out as planned. Losing his mother, his apartment, and discovering his wife has been unfaithful sends him back to his home town.

A chance run-in brings Lydia’s world crashing down while bringing Jacob the hope of a family he never realized he was missing.

But life and emotions are never simple and are always messy. Obstacle after obstacle threatens to tear them apart while Jacob fights for his family and Lydia battles her heart and mind as they engage in a vicious game of tug-of-war.

Review – Trigger by L.P. Dover

February 6, 20171 Comment

Trigger by L.P. Dover

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

“Light is easy to love. Show me your darkness.” ~R. Queen

When I first saw that L.P. Dover was shaking things up with a romantic suspense or dark romance, I could not help but get excited! I love dark reads as much as I adore swoon-filled stories. Trigger is the latest sensation by L.P. Dover, a delicious dive into danger and darkness, and MY NEW FAVORITE BOOK BY THIS AUTHOR!

Trigger, like its name, was FAST AND FURIOUS. This riveting romance was a rush, a raging inferno of intensity where I could not turn the pages fast enough. Energy flowed through me like electricity where I could not help but be engaged. The powerful and perilous plot kept me highly tuned and trembling with anticipation. I WAS THOROUGHLY EXCITED, ENGAGED, AND ELECTRIFIED!

Preston Hale is gorgeous, muscular, tall, dark haired and grey-eyed…and also a killer.

“Killing was an addiction I couldn’t let go.”

Known as Trigger, this modern day vigilante rids the streets of the most sinister criminals. This Dark Knight is badass and beautiful, a mix of dark and light who has been to hell and back, surfacing stronger than ever.

“I didn’t give a f**k what people thought. I did what I had to do.”

Killing has become his addiction…his high…his drug.

“It shouldn’t make someone happy to kill another being, but I craved it.”

Until his high before he started killing, Emily ‘Emma’ Turner came back into his life. The beautiful blonde and blue-eyed woman was Preston’s best friend in college, back when life was much simpler…back when he was more light than dark.

“A need sparked deep inside of me. And for the first time in a long time, it wasn’t the need to kill. No, this ran bone deep. I ached to touch her skin, to mark her as my own.”

Emma never forgot the boy, and now very much a man, who she loved in college and still holds her heart today. When their paths cross years later, Preston and Emma still feel the combustive chemistry like during those college years.

“I threw my arms around his neck and pulled him down into a soul-searing kiss, pressing my lips achingly hard against his…He groaned into my mouth, his arms holding me so tight I could barely breathe.”

I felt that kiss, the passion pressing into me from the pages, the kiss that tugged on my heart.

“We can’t do this. If you’re smart, you’ll stay the hell away from me.”

Emma’s love for Preston never died, but this is not the same man who was sweet in college. This man is rough and raw…dark and dangerous…but Emma still can’t help but care for Preston. She’s determined to shine some light into his dark heart, bring back the Preston she knew and loved like no other.

“The Preston I fell in love years ago is still inside you.”

“He doesn’t exist anymore.”

I LOVED Preston, this melt-worthy man of many layers who walks on the edge of darkness but whose heart is pure gold. Preston protects those he loves and risks everything to be their dark hero. Oh what a hero he is who became my hero in this thrilling tale too!!!

Trigger is one deliciously dark and dangerous read, a drug that you need to devour! Trigger ignites with intensity in a tale that wrapped me in a blanket of darkness while, at the same time, slowly showered me with light. This pulse-pounding page-turner kept me on edge, emotions entangled as my heart raced out of my chest. I FELT THIS HIGH, this delicious drug of a story, where I was addicted and aching for more. I still need MORE.

★★★★★ fast and furious stars

View all my reviews

A killer . . . that’s what I am.
It’s what I do.
It’s what I live for.
I’m no longer the Preston Hale everyone knew. I left that life and the people in it a long time ago the second I made my first kill. I wasn’t going to give in, but when I heard the screams there was no going back.
It triggered the pain, the need.
I knew what I had to do, and I did it well. But I never expected for Emma Turner – the only link to my past – to come back into my life.
She triggers a different emotion inside me, something I hadn’t ever felt.
It’s not a want to kill . . . but a need to CLAIM.

When I got downstairs to the dining room, Glenn and Wade were already there, speaking to each other in hushed tones by the large window. There were shiny plates on the table, with all sorts of silverware around them. Start from the outside and work your way in, was what I was told when it came to using the various forks and spoons. Give me just one of each and I’d be happy.

It wasn’t long before Glenn noticed me at the door and the conversation ceased. “Emma, you look lovely tonight,” he announced.

I smiled. “Thank you.”

He beckoned me over to the table and Wade held out a seat for me. I sat down and he took the one on the right, while Glenn sat on my left at the head of the table. There was only one other place setting and it was across from me.

“Wine?” Glenn asked, holding up the bottle.

I nodded. “Sure.”

He poured me a glass and I took a sip. It tasted like heaven, all fruity and crisp. It was so good I had to take another sip, and another, while we waited on the special guest. Not even a minute later, the dining room door opened and a man walked in. Only, he wasn’t just anyone.

It’d been eight years and he’d surely changed, but there was no mistaking those gray eyes. His hair was the same light brown, and mussed up like all the guys did their hair these days. However, his body looked totally different. His cream colored, long-sleeve sweater hugged a set of muscular arms, and his face was more rugged, covered in a five o’clock shadow.

I almost choked on my wine. “Oh my God.” Is it really him?

“Emma, are you okay?” Wade asked, his voice low.

“Yeah,” I whispered. “I’m fine.”

I waited for Preston to look at the table, and when his gaze finally caught mine, he paused for a slight second. In his face, I could see the friend I lost so long ago, but it vanished quickly.

Glenn and Wade both stood when Preston approached, and I shot up out of my seat, bumping the table with my jerky movements. Glenn grinned at me and then at Preston. “Preston Hale, I’d like you to meet Emma Turner. She’s my assistant. Emma, this is Preston Hale, a close family friend. His father is one of my dearest friends.”

Preston held out his hand and looked at me as if he’d never laid eyes on me before. “It’s nice to meet you.”

Was he being serious? I shook his hand and made sure to put a little extra squeeze in there for good measure. “Meet me? Surely, you remember who I am.”

Glenn’s eyes went wide. “Wait. You two already know each other?”

I nodded. “From college.” I was about to add before he up and left without a trace, but thought better of it.

Glenn chuckled and smacked a hand on Preston’s shoulder. “Well, isn’t this a small world? You’ll have to tell me some stories on this one.” He nodded my way.

Preston’s jaw clenched. “Can’t. Don’t remember her.”

My mouth dropped open; it was like being punched in the gut and slapped in the face, all at the same time. No words would come out, so I sat there with a lump in my throat. In college, he’d been a close friend. I sang with him in his band, Silent Break. We connected on stage in a way I’d never felt with anyone. I cared about him, and had even been ready to take the next step in our relationship right before he up and disappeared. I never got to tell him how I felt. Now he looked at me as if I was a stranger.

The room fell silent. I wanted to say something, but I bit my tongue. It was going to be the longest dinner of my life.

Review tour- Pieces of Heaven by Natasha Madison.

February 4, 2017February 4, 2017Leave a comment

My rating is 6 out of 5 stars

When you read a book that is so good that every piece of your heart is touched, you give that book 10 stars. This book was beyond any expectation that I ever had for it. I laid my claim on Mick and I know that I will have lots of fights on my hands because EVERYONE, and I mean everyone, is going to want this man. He is absolutely perfect in every single way. You will read this book so quickly.

You will become an addict to these words that Natasha has so expertly put together. I have loved every book that she has written, but this one is by far my favorite. Hands down.
Mick is stuck in a rut. He has been holding out hope that this loser, Sandie, is going to leave her husband and be with him. She strings him along for so long that is considered normal for him. When Marissa walks into his life though, he will find out what true love really is. Thrust together while Mick is searching for Lori’s missing daughter. He never stood a chance. These two were made for each other.

Marissa is a strong woman. I absolutely loved her character. When her daughter, Lori, disappears she will stop at nothing to get her back. She tries to fight those feelings for Mick, but their chemistry is too strong to deny.

Basically, what you’re getting when you read this book, is not just a piece of heaven. Its all the pieces. This book was one hell of way to start the new year. It is an absolute must read.

I didn’t want this life.

But sometimes you’re forced to make the best of the crappy hand you’ve been dealt. I wanted to teach my daughter that. No matter what happens you face your problems head-on.

Never cower. Never give up.

Then someone took her and I had to put my faith in a system that had failed me, and my hope in a man I didn’t know.

Serve. Honor. Protect, are the only things I’ve ever cared about until her case was dropped on my desk. As we searched for her missing daughter, the last woman I thought I’d fall in love with became my reason for living.

Then the world came crashing down around us.

One secret would change everything, but I had one more hand to be dealt. And if I played my cards right, maybe, just maybe we’d get our piece of heaven.

Review- Unraveling Fayth by Winter Travers

February 4, 2017Leave a comment

What a way to end the series. Winter took it out with a bang. This book was pure perfection in every way. It was action packed and sinfully delicious. I just couldn’t put it down.
Poor Fayth is suffering from not being able to talk even though all the words are in her head. She is depressed and living with her brother again. One day she utters one word, Slider! After that Leo knows that he needs to contact Slider to help break her out of whatever is keeping her speechless.

Slider has been beating himself up pretty hard about Fayth getting shot. When he gets the call From Leo, he drops everything and comes running. When he takes Fayth and Marco back home with him, Fayth slowly starts coming back to herself all because of one thing… Slider.
These two have built a slow and delicious burn. I absolutely loved watching their love blossom, and it doesn’t hurt that they tear up the sheets. I am so happy to hear that we will be getting spin offs of this series. I can’t wait.

Fayth doesn’t know what she wants anymore. Torn between the life she used to live or staying in Rockton, Fayth can’t decide which future she wants. All she knows is that the one man who won’t leave her side is the one man who is taking over her heart.

Everyday Slider relives the moment he thought he had lost Fayth before he ever had the chance to have her. Now, with Fayth back in Rockton, he’s never letting her out of his sight. Although, someone else has other plans

Danger is lurking, and Slider is the one man that will keep her safe.

He let her down once.

He’ll never let it happen again.

The score is finally settled in this thrilling conclusion to the Devil’s Knights Series.

Review – How Sweet It Is by Janelle Denison

February 2, 2017Leave a comment

Oh what a sweet read this was!

Rebecca Moore had sacrificed so much in her life to see to her sister Celeste’s happiness after the loss of their mother when she was sixteen and Celeste a mire ten years old. She took on the responsbility of mother, care giver, and head of household when their irresponsible father tended to shy away from his duty to pay the bills and keep a roof over their heads. Those years shaped and solidified Rebecca’s opinion of what she wanted in life and in a man – stability, strength, steadiness. Spencer Bassett was no where near what she wanted in a man. He played video games for a living, was the carefree playboy and was six years younger than she was. No way could be have him… but boy, did she want him.

Spencer Bassett wasn’t going to give up on what he wanted – and he wanted Rebecca. He has always wanted her. The attraction between them was undeniable. He watched her give everything to her sister and now he wants to give her everything – fun, spontaneity, security. Love. He knows his time to convince Rebecca is short. He only has the weekend of Celeste’s wedding to show her that he’s the one for her.

This was such a fun, flirty but oh so steamy read! Spencer is sexy, funny and just plain yummy. For all that she’s done Rebecca is admirable, feisty and determined. It was so nice to see her just… give in and let go.

Wonderful afternoon read and perfect for Valentine’s Day! Grab this one!

4 Sinfully Sweet Stars

Practical, sensible Rebecca Moore doesn’t do playboys, especially ones like sexy, wealthy Spencer Bassett, even if he makes her want to do very naughty things with him. But when a weekend away at her sister’s wedding puts them in close proximity, Spencer doesn’t hesitate to take advantage of the undeniable attraction between them. Seducing Rebecca is his goal—with hot, steamy kisses, decadent chocolates, and sensual nights in his bed.

Rebecca is certain this is only a weekend fling, but Spencer is determined to win her over for good by showing her just how sweet it is.

Review- The Do-Over by Julie Richman

February 2, 2017February 2, 2017Leave a comment

My rating is 6 out of 5 stars.

What a book. I had been anticipating this book for quite some time and it was pure perfection. Julie will take you on an emot rollercoaster ride of love, loss, and second chances. I would recommend not reading it in public because I did and I looked like a loon. One second I was laughing and then crying feeling like my heart was ripped out. Exceptional job Julie. By the end, my heart was so full and all I could do was smile.

Wes and Tara have an Instant connection but are just at the wrong place in life. After meeting on a cruise and spending an entire night talking, they part without saying goodbye. Over a decade later, they meet again. This time its work related. Tara gets the opportunity for a do over and there is o my one thing standing in her way, a one night affair with none other than Wes’s best friend.

Wes and Tara have so many obstacles to overcome but through it all, they realize that they belong together. Such an amazing and emotional read. Excellent job as always Julie.

The Do-Over, an all-new emotional, second chance STANDALONE romance by Julie A. Richman is now LIVE!!
~ Sometimes, one degree is all that separates you from the one you were meant to be with. ~
Wes Bergman was sex on a stick.
We’d been circling one another our entire lives, mingling at the same clubs… attending the same events…sharing mutual acquaintances…yet we’d never actually met.
Until . . . we both boarded a Windjammer Cruise in the Caribbean. And it was like meeting my long, lost best friend for the first time. I hadn’t ever connected with a guy that way before.

But Wes had a girlfriend. So, when the week was over, he walked off the ship, unknowingly taking a piece of my heart with him.
Now, over a decade later, newly divorced, I’m the proverbial fish out of water. Dating has totally changed. Apps. Swipe left. Swipe right. Catfishing. Men my age want two things: twenty-five-year-olds—like my ex’s new child bride of a wife—or just a quick hook-up.
After a string of bad dates, I finally did something I never thought I’d do. I had a hot one-night stand with a really handsome guy I met online who didn’t even know my real name.
Turned out Mr. Fling is a big shot for my company’s newest client. And just my

luck, that client’s CEO is none other than . . . Wes Bergman.

Now I’m separated by one degree again from the man who stole my heart.

And Mr. Fling could destroy my chance of what I want most –
A Do-Over with Wes.

Excerpt:
His hand slowly stroking up and down the outside of my thigh is what roused me from my dream state. It was so soft and tender that I was getting more and more turned on with every movement. With my eyes still closed, I enjoyed the sensation. It wasn’t until his lips started brushing my shoulder, that I was unable to stifle a moan, revealing that I was awake.

“Good morning,” his whisper was hoarse.

“Mmm, good morning.” I stretched my body against his and turned my head to see his face hovering over mine, before our lips met.

“Sleep good?”

“Surprisingly, I did. I was so exhausted. Sorry for passing out on you last night,” I apologized.

“I think we both passed out the moment our heads hit the pillows.” Wes’ hand had migrated from my thigh to my stomach, where he softly drew circles with his fingertips.

Rolling over to face him, I pushed my hair out of the way, silently praying my humidity enhanced curls didn’t make me look like a deranged housewife, scaring the erection right out of the man. Slinging a leg over his thigh, I instantly got my answer. The crazy morning coif was not a cock killer. Thank God!

“You’re a morning person, I see.” Hiding my smile was not a possibility.

“Yeah, I am,” Wes laughed, moving closer to me, his eyes filled with the unmistakable desire to become lovers, something I’d dreamed about on the deck of a windjammer long ago.

“You can wake me up like this anytime.” I needed to let him know it was okay. He’d said he’d take it as slow as I wanted it and what I wanted right now was a slow rhythm of him plowing into me. Hard.

“Are you hard to wake up?” He was pressed up against me.

“I think you’ll figure out the secrets to rousing me.”

“You’ve already figured out the secrets to arousing me.” His voice still had that sexy edge of morning roughness to it, making me want to skip all foreplay and have him inside me.

“I’ll bet you have a few more secrets I can discover,” I said against his lips, as I shifted the leg I had slung over him, pressing my heat and wetness against his already throbbing cock.

Wes groaned and I could feel his smile against my lips. “You know you’re going to make it impossible to make slow, sweet love to you.”

“Good, because I don’t want it slow and sweet.”

Wes flipped me onto my back, “I can easily accommodate your wishes. Are you on anything or do I need to…”

“We’re good,” I assured him.

“Yes, we are.” He kissed my neck, then swiftly pulled my tank top over my head tossing it to the floor. “We’re going to be really good together. Of that, I have no doubt.”

And I knew he was right. Being with this man had been so perfect from the night we met. We meshed with ease and the result was pure joy.

The warmth in his eyes and smile made my breath catch, and in that moment, I was flooded with overwhelming emotion at how much I wanted him. How much I’d always wanted him. It was more than lust, beyond the heat of the moment. Wes Bergman was the man I had always wanted, from the night we met. That was clear to me now.

“I vote we skip the foreplay.” I wriggled out of my underwear.

“You’re on.” His smile told me he was taking on the challenge.

“You’re in,” I gasped, my breath catching in my throat, surprised at the swiftness with which he filled my request.

Review – Before The Lie by KD Robichaux

February 1, 2017Leave a comment

I was stunned from the first page. Vi and Corbin had me…. there was no way I couldn’t see this through to the end. I never saw this coming, and I am still so speechless.

This love story… this insta-love between one incredibly alpha Army specialist and one very shy high school senior. This was nothing like I expected. It was so much more. It was true love at first sight that I felt. It was red hot chemistry. The devil and his beautiful angel. Corbin was a young man with a tough past. A trouble maker, a criminal… someone with dark desires. Vi was an innocent girl who only found peace when she was rock climbing. But she never felt anything like the desire she felt the moment she laid eyes on Corbin. He wanted to protect her. Possess her… love her. She wanted to belong to him and only him. To be loved by him and to love only him.

Their relationship grew, strengthened and survived the rigours of deployments. It was everything that they had hoped it would be. Maybe even better. But as the title suggests, things change. The end of BTL is so gut wrenching… and even though I knew it was coming, I wasn’t ready for the punch to my heart the last words of the story gave me.

Steamy, sexy, angsty… moments when I laughed soo hard I cried! Kayla has written a beautiful tale of love and loss, passion and heartbreak. I confess I was captivated by Vi and Corbin. I was consumed by their story, and I freely admit I have begged Kayla to please, please, PLEASE HURRY UP with Truth Revealed. Their story is so far from over.

FANTASTIC, Kayla!

5 The Truth is Coming Stars!

It was love at first sight.

Not just for me, but for Corbin as well.

Our eyes locked across the room, and that was all she wrote.

But we didn’t rush things.

We wanted to do it right.

After all, we would spend the rest of our lives together.

The love of my life.

My soul mate.

He was the intense and fiercely protective soldier,

and I was his doting and faithful lover.

I found my happily ever after.

This was our story…

KD Robichaux wanted to be a romance author since the first time she picked up her mom’s Sandra Brown books at the ripe old age of twelve. She went to college to become a writer, but then married and had babies. Putting her dream job on hold to raise her family as a stay at home mom, who read entirely too much, she created a blog where she could keep her family and friends up-to-date on all the hottest reads. From there, by word of mouth, her blog took off and she began using her hard-earned degree as a Senior Editor for Hot Tree Editing. When her kids started school, and with the encouragement from her many author friends, she finally sat down and started working on her first series, The Blogger Diaries, her very own real life romance.

Review – Anything You Can Do by R.S. Grey

Anything You Can Do by R.S. Grey

Have you ever felt those warm, fuzzy bookish feels, the ones that fill you up from the inside out and blast out of you like fireworks, that light up the night sky?

Have you ever felt those ridiculously swoony feelings you get when you read a book that was just AHHH?!

Have you ever fallen so deep into two characters that they just make you FEEL, LAUGH and LOVE everything!!!

If you haven’t, then I urge you to pick up Anything You Can Do by RS Grey.

This fierce, fun, flirty, FLAWLESS novel produced all the feels, consumed every part of me and held me captive, from start to finish. And I know it will to you too.

I feel as though I’m glowing, every part of me just feels alive. I’m soaring, way up high and I don’t want to come down. I swear the words in this book just pushed me up, further and further with every passing chapter. Lucas & Daisy are just PERFECTION.

One thing you cannot deny while reading Anything You Can Do is that there is a hot, passionate, connection that you feel right down to your toes. From the moment this book starts the push and pull is electric. It gives you that edge of seat, bated breath feeling. It’s just soooooooo freaking good.

Daisy is a FANTASTIC heroine. So funny and sassy. Lucas is pure romance heaven. So sexy, so arrogant, so sweet, so moody, so swoony. He’s just all the things. And those little POV switches were GENIUS!! They made this book all the more intense and captivating.

Anything You Can Do is a pure romance readers delight. I need wayyy more than 5 stars! For me, this is RS Greys best book yet!

Lucas Thatcher has always been my enemy.

It’s been a decade since I’ve seen him, but our years on opposite coasts were less of a lasting peace and more of a temporary cease-fire. Now that we’re both back in our small town, I know Lucas expects the same old war, but I’ve changed since high school—and from the looks of it, so has he.

The arrogant boy who was my teenage rival is now a chiseled doctor armed with intimidating good looks. He is Lucas Thatcher 2.0, the new and improved version I’ll be competing with in the workplace instead of the schoolyard.

I’m not worried; I’m a doctor now too, board-certified and sexy in a white coat. It almost feels like winning will be too easy—until Lucas unveils a tactic neither of us has ever used before: sexual warfare.

The day he pushes me up against the wall and presses his lips to mine, I can’t help but wonder if he’s filling me with passion or poison. Every fleeting touch is perfect torture. With every stolen kiss, my walls crumble a little more. After all this time, Lucas knows exactly how to strip me of my defenses, but I’m in no hurry to surrender.

Knowing thy enemy has never felt so good.

Review – The Bartender by Piper Rayne

February 1, 2017February 1, 2017Leave a comment

The Bartender by Piper Rayne

4.5 heart warming, sexy stars!

Author duos are TAKING OVER and the newest kids on the block Piper Rayne are a match made in bookworm heaven! The Bartender is a bloody brilliant debut novel!

I was so surprised by this book, on the outside, the Bartender looks like a fun, flirty rom com! Which it is. But, it also goes deeper. Cole and Whitney develop a beautiful friendship after Whitney initially dislikes him, their friendship is one that blossoms, filled with lust and heat. Anyone who’s anyone knows I LOVE a good friends to lovers romance, with a bit of added hate in there and this book TICKED ALL MY BOXES.

Cole is fantastic! He’s deep and intense. He’s sexy and sinful. He’s dirty but oh, so delicious. And he drove himself straight into my heart!

Whitney makes up the FAB THREE. My nickname for the secondary characters that are introduced in this book. Despite initially struggling to connect to Whitney, I ended up really liking her in the end. Alongside Whit is, Lennon and Tahlia, they are a sisterhood I’d love to be apart of and I cannot wait for the next books to get their stories too.
The Bartender is a beautiful romance that will make you laugh, swoon, and just feel!

Who knew sleeping with the enemy could be this fun?

Was the one night stand a good idea?

Well, no. Probably not in retrospect.

In my defense I had just moved back into my grandparent’s house, I’d lost my dream job, and a guy on Tinder had stood me up. It was like life had suddenly stamped ‘LOSER’ on my forehead.

So when the guy behind the bar started giving me THE look…you know, the one that promised I’d be screaming his name into the wee hours of the morning? When that guy also has the perfect amount of scruff on his chiseled chin, biceps bulging out of his t-shirt, and a cocky grin you knew he’d earned in the sack…when he gives you that look, you don’t bother to figure out what your six degrees of separation are. You jump on that horse and ride it!

Pun fully and completely intended. And accurate by the way.

I fully admit to feeling sorry for myself and acting impulsively, but by the time I’d figured out WHO the bartender was, I was already falling for him.
