  Most people would describe Katherine Berger as a responsible girl with a big heart, a loyal friend who takes care of those close to her, and the possessor of a wicked sense of humor. There was something about her that most people didn't know. "My name is Kat Berger, and I love porn." When twenty-five-year-old Kat is dragged to a porn convention by her best friend, she's both embarrassed and nervous. The last thing she ever expected was to meet someone who makes her laugh like no other. This is a story about acceptance and friendship, and a love born out of the most unexpected of places.   My names kat Berger & I love porn.
Love can blossom from the most unexpected places.... A Porn con for example, Kat went along with her friend to a porn convention and while she waited for her friend who was in line to get an autograph Kat got chatting with someone else who also claimed was waiting for his friend. Kat and Tristan hit it off right away they laughed, chatted shared lunch all was going great until later she found Tristan at his own booth giving autographs and a sign that said Robbie Lingus. The characters; Kat, I loved her she's easy going, funny, honest, witty and has the most quirky friends. Tristan is aspiring to be a lawyer but on the side is a porn star, he's charming, attractive, surprisingly shy at times, a perfect BBF, I loved him. The Plot; Both Tristan aka Robbie Lingus and Kat become great friends but with his job being what it is Kat pushes her feelings of jealousy and attraction way back and concentrates on being his friend in his limited friend circle. A slow burn progression from friends to a lovers story with lots of laughs along the way. I loved Lingus there are so many laugh out loud moments, its a brilliant rom com, witty, charming with great characters and oh so hot!. Recommended Rom Com, Loved it! I listened this on audio it was brilliantly narrated and with so many witty comments and one liners I'm sure this would be one of those books that when you re-read or re- listen you would laugh all over again and pick up on things you may have missed the first time

The flame may flicker but it never goes out. I loved this story is was heartwarming, sad, funny at times, hot and captivating. Fire in you is told In Jillian's pov, how she first met Brock when she was just 8 years old, the day her dad took Brock in, fed him and gave him a room, trained him at his academy to be a fighter with Jillian as his shadow always there for him, crushing on him, loving him until the day that all changed. The author cleverly keeps you guessing as to what may of happened the night Jillian received scars, with flashbacks in time, the night she let go of Brock and as the story progresses you get little snippets of what it could be. After 6 years of hiding away in a dead end job, Jillian is propositioned by her father to work at the academy with an offer she can't refuse. Jillian has reached a point in her life were she needs to experience life again after the incident other than arguing with her cat so she takes the job. What Jillian didn’t expect was to be working with the one person she had been avoiding for years, Brock. My only misgiving with this story was Brock. Even knowing Jilly had loved him for years he never shared his feelings from when they were teens to redeem his A- hole ways, even when he said he wasn't with her out of guilt from what happened when they finally get together, I still wasn't convinced and that's a shame Brock was on his way to my bbf shelf, I mean hot ex fighter, tattoos, possesive ways, I was fanning myself but if only he had said words along the lines of I had always loved you but......... or I realised I loved you years ago when..... but that never came he only claimed to love her when he saw her again and with that admission he gave me doubt. Anyway despite how I feel about the outcome with Brock & how I wish the story would of gone, I couldn't put this book down, I so desperately wanted to find out what had happened to Jillian, I eagerly wanted her to find happiness and I loved that she finally got a hea, not the full hea wedding bells, kids I was hoping for but a hea none the less. I felt it lacked an epilogue not all story's need them but I felt this did. Did Brock prove himself? i'le never know. A childhood to adulthood love story that was at times moving and contained everything I love in a contemporary romance read.   Rule #1: No hot guys. It might sound ridiculous. I get it. It kind of is, but college was supposed to be my sanctuary. It was my place to start over. The rumors, the whispers, and the jealousy I endured through high school would all be gone. No one would know me at college. Rule #2: No drama. I’d major in pre-law. I’d make a few loyal friends. Everything would be easy breezy. No one was going to use me or hurt me. I wouldn’t let them. Rule #3: New year. New place. New me. Right? Wrong. And all because of Shay Coleman. Football captain and quarterback, he was the big guy on campus. The cocky guy in my political science class with a smirk. I hated him on sight . . . . . . and he was about to break all my rules.

Arc received for review purposes   We first met Lauren in Rockstar’s Temptation, where she wasn’t the best sister to Maisy and tried to come between her and the man she loved. Lauren doesn’t know why she is such a bitch, but she is. She believes in being who you are and fuck those who don’t like it. Her ex is pissed, and she soon realises the hard way that she never should have betrayed him. Yet, pretty-boy Andrew isn’t as innocent as she thought. In fact, it turns out he’s connected to one of the biggest gangs in America. Lauren is beaten and abused in every way possible. Her human rights are stripped, and she is treated like an animal. Blindfolded and gagged, Lauren has no idea what is going to become of her, or if she will ever get out of the mess she has found herself in. Karma has finally caught up with Lauren Ashford, but is this the end, or can someone out there help her? Are there men strong enough, or even brave enough, to face up to her captors? When the Philadelphia Kings of Rebellion charter come crashing into her kidnappers’ motorcycle club's cabin, they find a beautiful girl chained up to a wall and made to live like a dog on the hard floor. From here, Lauren is given the greatest gift. To go home. Once back in the UK, Lauren is under the protection of the UK Kings of Rebellion MC and is shocked to find that even though they are dangerous, they treat her so much better. Here she meets Grim, the oldest son of the president. He’s covered in tattoos, drives a bike, likes to dress in leather and loves to protect her. Is this the man that Lauren needs? Or do her old habits of being a “do now, think later” kind of bitch, come back to bite her in the ass? One thing is for certain, Demon, the president of the motorcycle club who took her, wants her back... Karma #1 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZM04478 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZM04478 https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1006599554 Envy #2 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B015QNM0H6 http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B015QNM0H6 https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/id1049798738   Karma definitely came knocking.
I haven't read the previous book so I don't know the full details of what the backlash was with regards to what Lauren did to her sister and boyfriend, Lauren explains how much of a horrible sister she was and how she tried to sleep with all her sisters boyfriends. Lauren paints a pretty nasty picture of herself when she finally faces herself in the reality mirror but first it takes her being taken, raped, beaten and degraded by an MC for her to reflect. The boyfriend she cheats on turns out to be a nasty piece of work from an MC, leading a double life and he gives her over to the MC as punishment. Karma or destiny? Lauren is chained in a room naked with another girl and later joined by another girl who is an MC'S presidents daughter. Together they are used daily for sex, as playthings and when alone together locked back in their room they comfort each other. This I struggled with, raped daily, tortured, treated inhumanely but when together the girls giggle, make light of situations and joke, I couldn't get my head around some of the comments. For me this part of the story in captivity was too long, some parts repetitive and I pretty much got the picture early on. Lauren is rescued and taken to safety with her new friend who belongs to the king's rebellion MC then taken to the English chapter. Bradley also known as Grim falls hard for Lauren, he's the one who rescues her, he's possessive, protective and a typical MC alpha and a relationship develops between them but The president of the MC she was taken from wants her back and he and his men go to England to get her as revenge. Yes all the way to England. I found some things to unbelievable to comprehend and I've read a lot of MC books and I know it's fiction but it still has to click. There's action, danger, hotness and a lot going on to keep you turning the pages a goodread and I would read other books. I loved Bradley he made this story for me , he is everything I love in an MC read. Told mainly in Lauren's pov, first person ends with cliffhanger.   A steamy and hilarious standalone romance from New York Times best-selling author Samantha Towle… I’m used to being in charge. In and out of the office. So, when my parents go behind my back and hire a co-CEO to help me manage my family’s business, let’s just say, I don’t take it too well. Especially not when the woman they’ve hired is the one girl who hated my guts in college. She thinks I’m an overprivileged, womanizing man-whore. I think she’s an uptight, stuck-up bitch. And, now, she’s here, in my office, telling me how to run my company. I don’t think so. It doesn’t matter that she has legs that go on for days or that I keep imagining bending her over my desk and showing her just how bossy I can be. I’ve worked my ass off and paid my dues to get to where I am, and she’s not taking it from me. No freaking way. Morgan Stickford is about to learn the hard way that Wilder Cross is the only boss around here.   A sexy, fun and refreshing read. Under her is an enemies to lovers story.

He’s part of the Screw Crew. He’ll just use you and leave you. He’s ruthless and always gets what he wants. Just look for the trail of broken hearts and dreamy sighs and you’ll find him. “Hot as sin, Carter.” I don’t have time to fall head over heels for any guy. Besides, he’d never notice someone like me. I have a three step plan. Get through college. Get a job. Get my sister out of the hell hole I left her in. That’s all I have time for. That’s until I hear of the betting pool the guys started. Whoever screws me first gets the money. The moment Carter looks at me, I know it’s only because of the bet. I tell myself our first kiss is only for show. I hate my heart for falling for his irresistible charm. For one foolish moment, I actually want him to be my first earth-shattering love. All it takes for me to give in is a little attention, a cocky smile, and a fake promise of a happily-ever-after. When I’m surrounded by crumpled sheets and the smell of sex, I realize I let him have me for four hundred dollars. To save what little pride I have left, I pretend it didn’t mean anything, that he’s just one last screw before we all leave college. I’ve spent the last four years lying to myself. When I’m ready to take the final step of my plan, and save my sister, guess who walks through my front door? #ScrewCrew This is a full-length, stand alone, unrequited love/second chance romance/reunited love/opposites attract with a HEA and no cliffhanger.

Fans of L.J Shen's Hot holes will love this.
Wow! I loved Heartless it took my breath away. It was everything I loved, enemies to lovers, Secret baby, Insta love, second chance romance and in the mix fan me down hot with great characters. It was like eating my favourite cake with my choice toppings. Della hasn't had it easy life, she's studying hard at college after losing both her mother and father and taken in by a woman who she now looks at like a mother who also takes care of her younger sister while Della has the chance to get her qualifications at college. Della shares an apartment with other girls but doesn't go out partying or socialising she study's and works at a diner as a waitress, she is away from home and there for one reason and that's to complete her courses, get a good job and be able to look after herself and her sister. Della's first encounter with what the girls call the screw crew is in the diner where she works and you could say it doesn't go down well. Della has heard the rumours about the boys and the girls saying they want to be part of the boys screw crew, a notch on their bed post as though it's something to brag about and she has no time or respect for any of that. While serving the guys, a bit of banter and flirting, the guys realise she doesn't fall for their charm easily and they make a bet that they can bed her the bets go up to $400.00 to who can get her first, this may have been said in jest but Della is more determined than ever to stay away from them. You quickly learn that rumours are simply that, just rumours and the guys come to Della's rescue more than once. Carter Hayes has an instant attraction to Della which annoys him, he is determined not to be one of those guys who fall for a girl and get hurt in the process like his dad did, so what does he do? he plays the mean card to protect himself. The chemistry is hot, I loved the gradual melting, the moments of defeat, the submission and surrendering where Carter stops fighting his feelings to stay away and then the burn returns again when Carter and Della become reunited again years later. I loved all the guys and I can't wait for more in this series, I didn't want it to end. This story goes from the last college year to 4 years later when Carter is CEO of his fathers company. Della may not of believed in fairy-tales but she goes from rags to living the life of a princess with her swoon worthy King. Arc gratefully received for review purposes   Lucca was made the underboss, being what nightmares are made of. Chloe was scarred by her past, learning too young that nightmares are real. He has waited long enough to claim her soul, but he must take it from the devil first. Her soul might have been better off claimed by the devil. The only way to save her from her past is to delve into his. The world as she knows it will come crashing down. I’m the fu**ing boogieman. I’m just a fu**ing freak.   Finally!!!
I have been looking forward to Chloe's story so much. From book one Chloe is the girl who's afraid of her own shadow, afraid to be touched, bullied throughout school because of her scars and timidity. Chloe used to hang with the popular girls but something happened to give her nightmares, and flashbacks of a guy in her dreams she calls the devil and from books 1-3 you get glimpses of what could of happened but never getting the full story. Lucca is the Mafia underboss, he's scary, hard, a man to be feared and he's been infatuated with Chloe, scars and all from the first day he saw her. Lucca kidnapps Chloe keeping her at his mansion, his intension are for good to help her escape her demons but it takes Chloe a long time to trust him. Elle and her friends all think she's gone off to college. I've liked this series it's exciting, the younger generation in the Mafia family, Lucca though is slightly older, he is my favourite character so far, mysterious, alpha and a deepness to him only Chloe see's. Chloe can be annoying her words childlike and the boogyman word annoyed me but as a whole I've loved these books. Series must be read in order, told in dual first persons pov. Looking forward to Maria's story she's a ball buster mafia princess, can't wait, I love women with backbone and shes got it. Listened on audio, narration was brilliant.

As handsome as any model, as polite as can be, a goalie of unmatched skill, and the best friend anyone could ask for. But he longs for a particular special someone to make his life complete. He’s been in love with Wren since he was a teenager, but as his best friend’s sister, she’s always been off-limits. Wren Lemiere has prided herself on being a love ’em and leave ’em girl her whole life. She’s all about equal opportunity in the battle of the sexes. Why should guys like her brother and his best friends get to be the only ones allowed to play the dating game? One wrong move, however, and she finds herself in violation of her own rules. In need of a fake husband and baby daddy for her unexpected bundle of joy, Wren finally accepts Jensen is the logical one to ask for help. Except he has a counteroffer…one with so many strings attached, they may just find themselves wrapped up in ties that bind. Forever   4 stars Wren Lemiere needs a baby daddy, her playgirl ways have caught up with her and shes pregnant, her 30th birthday is looming and in order for her to get her inheritance there is a stipulation that if she gets pregnant she must be married or the inheritance is void. Jensen Monroe is a star hockey goalie for the Assassins and has known Wren for years, he is her brothers best friends and has been secretly in love with her for just as long. Wren is oblivious to the love Jenson has for her, he is one of those guys that will do anything for anyone and loved by all so when she asks if he will fake marry her so she can get the inheritance he has conditions. The girl who doesn't believe in love and has only ever known one night stands and casual sex must allow herself to feel loved, there is to be no fake marriage that will end after she turns 30 he wants the real thing and he is all in. Wren comes across as selfish almost cruel for the way she takes advantage of jensens good nature and feelings however as the story progresses she began to thaw and I actually began to like her. Jensen will make you swoon he is ideal BBf I loved him. Characters from previous books in this series are present and Vaughn and Brie are in this quit a lot, Brie and Vaighn being mutual friends. They have all grown up together and they are a close knit group. I looked it, enjoyed it and reading about other characters made me want to read previous books in the series which I will consider. The downside is this is told in third person so it took me a while to get into and figure out who was who. A niggle I have was there was a big issue re the inheritance in fact it was a big part of the plot but yet after the marriage and when the baby was born it wasn't mentioned again, yes there was a hea but the story felt incomplete unless it summarises in the next characters book. Great read that leads to a hea, part of a series, can be read as a standalone. Based on hockey sports stars but mainly focuses on the characters so you don't need to be a sports fan.

Doing right by her became a priority for me, even while I was busy as the new head of the Philly syndicate. I sent her to the best boarding schools and kept her as far away from the life as possible. It worked perfectly. Until she turned 18. Until she came home. Until I realized that the timid girl was gone and in her place lived a smart mouth, a wicked imagination, and a body that demanded my attention. Who am I? I’m F*cked. Nice to meet you. Add to Goodreads here: http://bit.ly/2tMCCMs   I loved this one! I have a weakness for baddass and mafia reads and Nate ticked all the tight box's. Nate has risen to the top and is now a Mafia boss from being a foot-soldier once a man on the streets, homeless and moved into organised crime with his two friends. Five years ago he entered a bloodbath and somehow rescued Sabrina, she was just 13 and in the hands of Russian drug dealers & mafia involvement, Nate took her into his care and then sent her away to boarding school to get a good education. Five years later Sabrina returns to the mansion no longer a girl but a beautiful woman and Nate is instantly attracted but fights it because he has been her guardian even though she was sent away. Sabrina is 18 and Nate in his 30's. Sabrina is mature for her age with all she has been through, she felt something for Nate as soon as he rescued her, she felt safe with him and saved herself for him and wasn't letting him send her away a second time. The heart wants what the heart wants. This is only the tip of the iceberg & this is only the romance part of this jam packed story, there's more than enough to keep you turning the pages, a war against the Russians, missing cargo, an inside spy and the Russian mobster wants Sabrina back. Shootings, killing, and hotness Nate is action packed. I loved it. Recommended Mafia romance. Told in dual first person pov.

SHE’S LITERALLY THE GIRL NEXT DOOR. One of Hollywood’s A-listers, I have the movie industry in the palm of my hand. But if I’m going to stay at the top, my playboy image needs an overhaul. No more tabloid headlines. No more parties. And absolutely no more one night stands. Filming for my latest blockbuster takes place on the coast of Maine and I’m determined to stay out of trouble. But trouble finds me when I run into Lana Kelly. She doesn’t recognize me, she’s never heard of Matt Easton and my million dollar smile doesn’t work on her. Ego shredded, I know I should keep my distance, but when I realize she’s my neighbor I know I’m toast. There’s no way I can resist temptation when it’s ten yards away. She has a mouth designed for pleasure and legs that will wrap perfectly around my waist. She’s movie star beautiful and her body is made to be mine. Getting Lana Kelly into my bed is harder than I’m used to. She’s not interested in the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, but I’m determined to convince her the best place in the world is on the red carpet, holding my hand. I could have any woman in the world, but all I want is the girl next door. A sexy, standalone romance.   "The man a million women wanted only wanted me" Two people from two different world's. Matt Easton was an ambitious actor with a following of fans and paparazzi, life was constantly in the spotlight. Lana Kelly was a home bird, a jewelry designer with a small shop in town, she hated attention and even though her designs could be placed in the best stores anywhere she was content and happy with her little shop and enough to get by just to pay the rent. On a rainy night their world's collided, then Lana discovered Matt was renting the beach house next door to her and there was no escaping him. Matt was in Lana's quieter beach town while on location in the nearby city. Lana & Matt grew close before she even knew he was famous and taking it further could Lana handle the limelight?. Hollywood Scandal doesn't have a story-line I haven't read before because I have more than once, famous actor comes into town falls for the girl next door kind of plot, heck, I've even watched Nottinghill with a similar story-line were there's drama, decisions to be made, relationships tested but Louise Bay has a way of making you feel like this is fresh and new with her writing style and not forgetting the added hotness. I loved the characters, Matt is a down to earth guy behind his pearly white smile, I liked his character and Lana; not a strong heroine at times, she lacked confidence but hey if she had confidence there would of been less story. The main focus was how Lana would adapt, who would make changes could they make it work once they go public. I enjoyed Hollywood Scandal and the end made me swoon and gave me those mushy feelings as it lead to a hea.

What she does not expect to find is Remington St. Germain and his adorable son, Adrien. Remington is intense, devastatingly hot and a Prince Charming on the outside, but a dirty talking, insatiable devil behind closed doors and not the type to give up on something that he wants. Adrien makes her loss almost bearable. Selene soon realizes that life with Remington is not only interesting, but adventurous and dangerous. Someone is eager to keep Remington and her apart, and will go into great lengths to make sure that happens. Remington is at a crossroads. He can either let Selene go, forget about her. Or pursue her with determination, just like he does everything else. Otherwise he will be right back where he was before she came into his life. The clock is ticking, and danger looms closer. He will do anything to save the woman who is fast becoming a part of his soul. Sometimes life gives you a second chance. But what happens when danger threatens that chance?

Havoc is the first book In a trilogy Box set and touches the surface letting you get to know the characters but there's deeper things to come. Death threats, a mystery letter, Selene's likeness to Remington deceased wife and how did she die?? I was so looking forward to how the other books would play out and I wasn't disappointed. In Book 2 Remington and Selene are falling hard and fast, Remington's son looks at Selene like his mother, things are getting intense, the chemistry is still hot and off the charts. The jealous threats continue, Remington's team is still drawing a blank to the mysterious letters and threats. Security is high but someone knows how to get through the cracks.

Everything was happening, attempted murder, twists and turns, parts of the plot seemed to unbelievable with the events and drama but this is fiction so I went with it.

I loved this hard, these two authors are unparalleled and just get better and better, they take you on an unpredictable journey one I never want to end. I finish their books feeling like I've been thrust in a wind tunnel, my mind blown all over the place and come out the other side straightening myself out and composing myself. Another brilliant book, an amazing journey that's gripping, intense, hair-raising, rousing, all the praise goes out to LP Lovell & Stevie J Cole, you ladies are gold.

Danger follows former MMA fighter Gage Holt like a shadow.

Still, he can’t resist a taste—and it’s so damn good he has to see her again. As addicted as he is to her, Gage knows there’s no future for him and Skyler—not with his past lurking in the dark corners of an MMA cage. But Skylar’s tougher than she looks, and she’s ready to fight for her man.   Aw, I loved Gage and Skylar, once I started one night of sin I couldn't put it down. Gage is an ex MMA fighter or trying to be an ex fighter but he's being put into a corner by a local thug businessman who wants Gage to fight in exchange for his brothers debts. Gage runs Sin a nightclub with his two best friends. He's moody, a man of few words and hot as hell !!

Skylar is a good girl wanting to be bad for once. It's definitely lust at first sight for both of them and it's Skylar that initiates the chase she's after a one night stand for the first time ever and is determined to get one with Gage. A one night that turns into more, Skylar and Gage are so right for each other and Skylar won't take no for an answer with this commitment phobe broody fighter who's barriers eventually begin to fall.

I loved it, wanted more and can't wait to read more from this author in this After hours series.

Wild Card is a standalone novel and the first book in the North Ridge Trilogy about rough and rugged Canadian mountain men, the Nelson brothers. Canada’s never felt so hot. She swore she’d never go back home. She swore she’d never see the man who broke her all those years ago. But you don’t always get to choose your path. And sometimes that path is as wild and rugged as the heart. Rachel Waters thought she saw the last of the small mountain town of North Ridge, British Columbia, when she left six years ago. But while her advertising career blossomed beneath the skyscrapers of Toronto, her mother’s sudden illness has the 26-year old returning to North Ridge to care for her, putting her career on hold while dealing with family secrets, regrets and unresolved goodbyes.

I loved this story, a feel good read with no heavy drama or angst. Amanda is born & raised as a cattle farmers daughter in Montana but she's always had an interest in monarchy and goes away to study which eventually lands her in a job at the palace for Prince Dante and to plan his coming of age 30th birthday. A sword passed down generations is discovered to hold inside the handle a decree that Dante didn't know about which is the heir is to wed a virgin by his 30th birthday or the heir loses the throne in a nutshell Dante has two weeks to find a virgin a tall feat in itself You guessed it, good, study hard girl Amanda with an overprotective father is said virgin. His sword was predictable without cheesyness, I loved the characters and extended characters, Amanda's dad and his cowboy straight talking no bs ways even in a palace and what you would call prim and proper surroundings had me chuckling a few times. A few hot moments I loved Dante and Amanda's chemistry, a jelous plotting family member and a love at first sight story, so more than enough content to keep you turning the pages. An enjoyable read, told in dual pov's and leads to hea. Arc received for review purposes AVAILABLE IN KU   Her lips, the way she feels, how she moves against me.

Add to TBR here: http://bit.ly/2wmoYPG   Wow! What a powerful and moving story. True love finds it's counterpart, it always recognises it. It's all in the Muscle memory. Jay & Delaney were in love, inseparable, they were homeless but happy, they had bad days but were happy, why? because they had each other, until they didn't . Jon Doe woke up in a hospital room, he didn't have a name so they gave him one, didn't have a home so his social worker helped him to get into a half way house, he didn't have a social security number so he volunteered to pay his way. Jon Doe who decided to call himself Jon Doherty was a nobody with no memory of who or what he was before. Jon accepted that he had to build a new life and started to build one, even build new relationships. Delaney never stopped looking but she was looking for Jayson Fairbanks who had simply vanished after a night of getting high and falling on a train track, Delaney broke her ankle that night and John was whisked away and she didn't see him again. A moving and heartfelt story, Jon didn't get flashbacks or glimpses of his memory like he hoped he would but when he did meet Delaney who was a waitress, for the first time his world stood still, he knew her but didn't know how. "She's my ghost, she haunts me. I don't remember her but I know her" Delaney's strength and love for Jay was heartfelt, he was now with someone else, he was starting a new life but as long as he was happy so was she. My heart ached for her, she was selfless. "He's not dead. I get to walk around in a world with him in it and breathe the same air as he does and that's good enough for me". If you could read about the depth of love, the effects and how deep into the soul real love goes, where it's the air you breath and the source that pumps the blood in our veins then muscle memory tells of such a love. Jon/Jay's mind may have forgot but his being, the depths of his soul couldn't forget, He was the second half to her whole. IN LOVE WE TRUST Beautifully, written with beautiful characters. Told in third person and leads to hea. Arc received for review purposes  Excerpt “I can’t believe I used to be this guy,” Jon mumbled, gently touching the computer screen. It was a photo of him and her, outside of some nightclub. Delaney looked great in a cute outfit, with her hair up in a bun on top of her head. The guy with her, though, looked completely untrustworthy. He wore a long olive green jacket with a black knit sweater underneath, some jeans with holes in them, and a large pair of boots. He’d just gotten his hair dreaded, and he stared dead eyed into the camera, not even a hint of a smile. I don’t even look like him anymore. They weren’t all like that, though. There were lots of him and her smiling together. Laughing. At parties, at stores, at restaurants. Everywhere. Together, all the time. He was almost through all the pictures when he realized he hadn’t seen any with them kissing. Lots with their arms around each other, but nothing truly intimate. That just couldn’t be possible, every couple had at least one photo of themselves kissing. After a little bit of digging, he found a subfolder labeled “Private” – jackpot. He shifted to the center of the sofa and balanced the laptop on his knees, then opened the subfolder and clicked on the first picture. They were standing next to the entrance to a subway stop. He had Delaney’s face in his hands and he was kissing her. Even through the pixels, he could feel the passion. Her mouth was parted, her bottom lipped trapped between his. It sent a shiver down his back and caused his stomach to sink, but he kept looking. There were so many. Most of the selfie variety, but there were a bunch obviously taken by friends and then sent to him. Him and Delaney, kissing in restaurants, bars, taxiis, trains. Everywhere. Anywhere. Holding each other, touching each other. There was one of her straddling his lap while they were in a booth at some bar. She was standing on her knees and he had his hands up the back of her shirt, and they were staring at each other so intensely, it took his breath away a little. How could I possibly forget something like that? But if he thought that was intense, the next batch were even more so. Taken in a dark room, the flash had lit them up like beacons and drowned the edges of the pictures in blackness. It almost felt like he was looking at photographs of dreams. They were in a bed, flat on the floor, if he wasn’t mistaken. All at awkward angles, yet still beautiful in odd ways. He’d been the one taking the pictures – Delaney’s mouth was in the top of one shot, her bright red bottom lip trapped between her teeth. Her arms were raised, disappearing out of the frame. She’d been wearing some sort of tight gold knit sweater, no bra, and a pair of black underwear. She was again straddling his lap, and his free hand was under her shirt, cupping her breast. He stared down at his right hand, at his palm. Could feel it tingle. Could swear he remembered the softness of her skin. In the next shot she was bending over and his hand was on her ass, and the next she had switched positions entirely. She was between his legs, her back against his chest. His arm was snaking down the front of her body, his hand inside those black panties. The tingling sensation on his palm grew. His favorite picture, though, was surprisingly tame in comparison. They were in a men’s bathroom somewhere – it was very clear they’d had no shame whenever they’d been together. Delaney was holding up her phone, taking a picture of their reflection in a full length mirror. She was against a wall, arching her body away from it and pressing herself to him. He was leaning over her, such a tall imposing presence compared to her tiny one. He had a hand in the hair at the base of her skull, and he was pulling. Quite hard by the looks of it. His other hand was on her hip, holding her pelvis flush with his. Her mouth was open in a gasp and he had her bottom lip trapped between his teeth, pulling it slightly away from her. No nudity. No sex. Yet still. It was like that picture held in it everything he’d been missing for the past five months. Everything he’d forgotten. Sensuality, aggression, pleasure, passion, dirty, raw, naughty, nasty, love. I loved this woman. Jon’s pulse was pounding in his ears. The pictures weren’t bringing anything back, not in any literal sense. He didn’t know where that shot had been taken, couldn’t remember where that bathroom was, and had no idea why they’d been in there. But something was happening.  BUY LINKS

A battle of wills, a battle against the age gap. "You don't want to start this war with me." "You think you can take me?" I am a woman! Hear me ROAR." I liked Deserved, the story wasn't without its angst or drama. A 12 year old girl gets dumped on the doorstep of a father she has never met, an ex who's involved in motorbike gangs and on the run, There's Tommy who brings hotness to the plot and shows he has a dominant side, to which there wasn't enough of and fan me down Jake the best friend who's a bit of a man whore and a sweetie who I definitely want more of. There's plenty in deserved to keep you turning the pages. 34 year old Tommy although not always a likeable character in this story is the owner of a cab firm and has recently found out he has a 12 year old daughter Carly. In need of help Tommy calls Lottie who runs a children's home but gets Lacey on the phone instead who agrees to go over and help him out. 24 year old Lacey has been in care knows all to well what children in care go through and has studied hard to be in a position to help those that were once like her. Lacey helps and now works with her foster parents Oli and Lottie in the children's home. Lacey and Carly hit it off straight away and Lacey becomes a big part of her new life with her new found dad and a blessing to Tommy who is finding his feet as a parent. Feelings begin to develop between Lacey and Tommy but With a 10 year age gap between them Tommy refuses to let love take it's course, after doing the deed puts a stop to it going any further. Deserved is a heartwarming story, one that will have you pulling your hair out for the characters one minute and smiling for them the next, I love it when a book has you rooting for the characters to get what they deserve for once and that in this story is each other. Told in dual pov's and leads to hea. arc received for review purposes BUY LINK http://getbook.at/vjdeserved   His name is Beat, and I should hate him. Bound, blindfolded and bruised, I'm tied in his basement, waiting for the men who stripped me from clothes and humanity to collect his debt to them. Me. His name is Nate and I should hate him, but I don't. I'm not supposed to know his real name, even worse, I'm not supposed to care. He is nothing to me but means to an end. The plan is simple: break free, collect the pieces of my broken soul, kill the bastards and run away. His name is Nathaniel Thomas Vela, and I've never seen his face, though I hear that it's beautiful. Behind the rugged and handsome exterior, there's a quiet murderer, a killer who thinks guns are for pussies and ends people with his bare hands. His name doesn't matter, neither does his face, but what does matter is my heart. And right now, sadly, it's his. Blood to Dust is a standalone, full-length novel. It contains graphic violence and adult situations some may find offensive.   Another LJ Shen book I loved this authors books to me are like chocolate when on a diet, I crave them. Edgy, gritty, contains violence, Blood to Dust is dark, erotic and full of suspense. Prescott; A good girl from the posh side of the tracks who found her prince who evidentally turned out not so charming. Taken, beaten, contained, tied up, time is ticking until Camden her villain of an ex who is obsessed with her returns to take back what is his with a threat to kill her for running and crossing him. Beat or Nate, ex con, served time with Godfrey Camden's father, hired to watch over Prescott until Camden returns. Beat wasn't aware his assignment meant keeping a girl chained to a bed for weeks. Beat had wanted more for himself when he left prison, instead he finds himself cleaning for a wealthy and randy woman and at Godfrey's beck & call but his options are limited for an ex con. Beat first comes across as heartless and as ruthless as Camden, his father and his men but Prescott is clever, she's cunning, shes fearless and after finding Nates diary from his time in prison has an inside view of her captors mind and begins to plot. Prescott's reasons for escape isn't just freedom, it's revenge, revenge for what she lost, revenge for every beating, revenge for every rape she endured and to find her brother. Nates walls begin to fall as time passes, alliances are made and the need for revenge agreed. Blood to dust is more than a captor and captee story, I found Prescott and Nate's story moving at times although unconventional, the words poetic and the plot exciting. love can develop in the most unusual surroundings and this bond ignited the perfect fuel for the revenge craved and birthed hope of new beginnings in their world of chaos. I loved the characters, the plot had danger, hotness,darkness and humour, it was captivating and exciting like all this authors books. Contains scenes of rape, violence and is by no means a hearts and flowers story, this is LJ Shen after all. Told in dual pov, leads to a hea and is a standalone (not part of a series). A perfect BBF bad boy read. I listened on audio with male narrator which was good.

The Red is a standalone novel of erotic fantasy from Tiffany Reisz, international bestselling author of The Bourbon Thief and the Original Sinners series BUY LINK http://www.tiffanyreisz.com/the-red-by-nora-sutherlin   Erotic fantasy.
This is one of those books that has the logic and common sense within my mind battling with all that unfolds on the pages as the story progresses. Pure curiosity drove me to the end. Would I recommend it? if I knew the readers tastes & I thought they fit then yes. Did I enjoy it? not really. A young woman, an owner of an art gallery, on the brink of bankruptcy is approached after closing by a stranger with a proposition, to become his whore, be at his bidding, be ready when he called, in payment she would receive paintings that would save her gallery. She agrees, just like that, yes I will whore myself out to save the gallery, and from there is where my judgemental thoughts kicked in, I couldn't prevent it. Red flags kept going up to much for me to enjoy it. It was weird but at the end made sense. At times it felt like a historic romance, the speech, the references but it wasn't. I love an erotic story this was different to my usual reads though, The Red was certainly erotic and more. It's a tough one to review and one each reader will react to differently. You will either love it, hate it or be dumbfounded by it. Told in Mona's pov, third person. leads to a somewhat hea. |
