Book Review – His Risk To Take (Line of Duty Book #2) – Tessa Bailey

I cannot say enough good things about Tessa Bailey’s Line of Duty Books! I loved Protecting What’s His (book #1) so the fact that I absolutely loved book #2 just solidified Tessa Bailey as a favorite.

Homicide cop Troy Bennett is still dealing with the death of his friend and partner, so a move to the NYPD is just what he needs to escape his past. Then he meets Ruby. Ruby has the same kind of reckless personality his partner had. She embodies everything he needs to stay away from, but he can’t deny her pull. He gets to know her better and realizes that not only is she reckless, she also has a connection with a wanted criminal.

I really loved this book. Its short (104 pages) but I completely connected with Troy and Ruby, loved their banter and really loved the steamy scenes! Let’s start with our yummy cop, Troy. Sexy, possessive, talks dirty… a man after my heart

“I’ve been impatient to fuck you for days. If you keep taunting me, I’ll have no choice but to assume you want it as rough and dirty as I can give it. And baby? I saw the way your back arched and your thighs squeezed together when you heard my voice behind you. I know how bad you want it.”

I loved that Ruby could hold her own. But her past ensured that she was also extremely guarded. And though Troy was wary of a repeat of his past where she was concerned, he was also determined to fight for her.

She’d never in her life experienced that kind of unconditional support. It made her want to reveal everything about herself, to just lay all the good and bad at his feet, to let him pick through the debris.

I absolutely loved Troy…. loved the two of them together. I’m sad that the story is so short. I thought the angle with the criminal could have been explored more… especially with his son…maybe a love triangle… but my complaints are only because I wanted to spend more time with these two. I will say that for a short book it was angsty AND funny… and really well written.

Recommended to anyone who loves a dirty talking yet incredibly sweet, possessive alpha male. Steamy steamy STEAMY! With a dose of angst and sweet thrown in for good measure

4.5 Stars!

Book Review – Broken Desires (Broken Series Book #1) – Azure Boone

Huh? What just happened? It’s one thing going into a book knowing there’ll be a cliffhanger, its another when the book you’ve been really enjoying just ends, as if someone said ‘cut’ and forgot to resume I’m not a happy camper!

So the blurb; Sofia follows a dare and sets an appointment with the hot gynecologist she’s crushing on. After an embarrassing series of events, she feigns a diabetes attack, leaves his office and prays she never sees him again. Two days later, she meets him in the supermarket and he asks her to dinner.

Daniel deals with his dark past by pleasuring women. Very selective with who he chooses for his erotic games, his next available choice, Sofia, doesn’t measure up to the kind of woman he needs. But with his options near zero, he decides to take a chance, and soon discovers that pleasuring Sofia opens a door to a rewarding new desire.

I really really enjoyed this one. And I don’t think I expected to. I got it as a freebie and kept it on my TBR for ‘a rainy day’. A few people who got it told me they enjoyed it and a Goodreads friend recommended it to me. So I thought why not… and lucky I did because I was pleasantly surprised!

I’m really a sucker for tortured heroes and that’s exactly what Daniel is. His background hints on a sexually abused past which has caused him to punish himself by denying himself pleasure. He uses his job as a gynecologist to pick up women who might not be adverse to his predilections. Due to a dare, Sofia finds herself on his styrups… and though Daniel realizes that she’s too naive to accept his fetishes, he can’t resist.

I really loved how they got together, how their interacted. Sofia is hilarious though I do think she overeacted  at times. Let’s just say that you don’t want to cross Sofia, she even punches! And that thing with the cupcakes… to be honest it was hilarious but still a bit over the top I thought. Though all in all I loved her, especially because she fought for him even thought she could ‘fix’ him.

He suddenly curled into a semi ball on his side and her heart constricted. What was wrong with him? Whatever it was, she desperately wanted to fix it.

Daniel is really the kind of hero you just love. You can’t help but empathize even though we still don’t get to know much about his past. Or even what his kinky fetishes really are. They were touched upon but not really in depth. All we saw was the broken man..

“I’m broken Sofia.” His words pierced her heart and mind. “The shit I have in my head won’t allow me to be the hero you need.”

I seriously loved these two together. Not only was it incredibly steamy, it was incredibly sweet too. So here I was alternating between sighing and fanning myself and then that epilogue happens. I for some reason thought the story would end with a HEA and I would sigh, possibly dab my eyes with a tissue and then move on to another book. Only to find out Book #2 continues with their story :/ I mean I really want to find out what happens but the next book is only 82 pages and I’m not sure why that just couldn’t have been added to this one to make a complete book

4 stars, could have been more were it not for that ending.

Book Review + Giveaway – Allure (Spiral of Bliss Book #2) – Nina Lane

Arouse Book #1 is one of my favorite books this year and I just couldn’t wait for its sequel!

After all the drama that was Arouse, Dean and Liv are desperately trying to work out the problems in their marriage.

We both want this so badly. I can feel it resonating between us like the hot pull of our first attraction, tangible and intense. We want our marriage to be a haven of warmth and pleasure again. We want our pure lustiness back, untainted by fear and mistrust. We want the unending spirals of bliss we can create only with each other. We want to shut the rest of the world.

And they try, only to realize that reality always sets in. Dean has to go back to California to deal with a family emergency. Liv insists on going with him which not only opens up old wounds, it also creates the most intense pain… pain that I couldn’t believe Dean had to go through again… Sigh… I almost cried for this man.

We also finally understand why he’s the way he is; his need to protect Liv. So intense and so heartbreaking…

Liked the way I didn’t feel cold inside when I was with her, the way I didn’t think about anything except her… I liked the way she looked at me, as if she knew I would protect her. That I could.

Until… I couldn’t.

I actually ached for Dean. His need to protect Liv is unrealistic, but I will say that as much as I’m rooting for Liv to live her life and discover her bliss, I understand Dean’s need to protect her. Especially since we find out even more of her past.

Expect angst in bucketfuls, and you will probably shed a tear because this one definitely makes your heart hurt. I can’t wait for Book #3… I’ve never rooted for a fictional couple the way I have Dean and Liv.

If you want a realistic romance, one where the hero and heroine are relate-able, one where the situations are authentic and one that will make you ache as you swoon, then Nina Lane’s Spiral of Bliss books should be your next buy.

4.5 Stars!

Cover Reveal – Lockout (The Alpha Group Book #2) – Maya Cross

Loved loved LOVED Locked (Book #1) so I’m happy to be part of the cover reveal for Book #2! And here it is…

This is not a standalone story. It is the sequel to Locked, which should be read first. Locked is currently available for just $0.99.

Who is Sebastian Lock?

Sophia had never felt attraction like that before. Raw. Electric. Irresistible. Swept off her feet by the dashing, enigmatic billionaire Sebastian Lock, she was taken on a journey of self-discovery, taken to places she never dreamed she’d go.

But things are never as simple as they appear. Sophia’s trust is a fragile thing, and Sebastian seems insistent on testing it. He has his own demons to battle, and nobody has brought them to the fore like she has.

As their relationship deepens, and Sophia begins to break down his walls, all that greets her are more questions. Why is Sebastian fighting so hard to keep her at a distance? Who is the girl on the background of his phone? And why does the strange tattoo on his chest seem so familiar?

These puzzles plague her, but as Sebastian’s mysteries begin to unravel, she must face an entirely different truth. Staying in the dark may be painful, but finding the answers could be deadly.

TEASER

As the first song ended, the music changed. The new tune was slower, more sultry, and Sebastian was quick to adapt. A delicate twist of his wrist and I was spinning away, then suddenly snapping backwards to rest against him once more, this time with my back against his chest. With torturous softness, his hands began to trace their way across my sides and down my thighs, flirting with the hem of my dress. Such intimacy in a public place should have made me balk, but the sensuality in the air was infectious. I was utterly lost in the moment. I could feel his breath hot on my skin as his lips teased the air just above my neck, tantalising but never touching. With every vacillation of our hips my ass grazed against his pants, letting me know that I wasn’t the only one finding this to be a powerfully erotic experience.

Other couples were throwing propriety to the wind too. Several men swept passed us with open shirts, their chests glistening with sweat, their partners slicing the air with their skirts like fans. One woman had shed her top all together and was twisting from side to side in just her bra like a belly dancer. All around the room, people were laughing and clapping and cheering in time with the beat. I’d never been part of such an unrestrained expression of joy before.

“You look stunning,” Sebastian breathed into my ear.

“Do I now?” I replied.

“You do. Although it might have something to do with the fact that everything you’re doing right now, I’m imaging you doing it naked.”

I laughed. “Is that so? Well then, I probably shouldn’t do this.” Slipping free of his grip, I turned once more and began to glide around him in a slow circle, swaying my hips provocatively and dragging my hands slowly up and down my body.

A low, masculine sound escaped his throat. “God, I can only restrain myself so much, Sophia.”

I grinned, but didn’t stop. It was thrilling putting on that kind of show for him in the middle of a crowded room. I could see the outline of his excitement pressing urgently against his pants. The truth was, with all the electricity that was coursing through my veins, I wasn’t sure I wanted him to restrain himself. I’d had the elaborate foreplay, now I wanted what that promised.

Blog Tour – Book review + Giveaway – Unbeautifully Loved – Emma grayson

Lexie is on the run from an abusive ex. She, her bestfriend Molly, and her son Finn move to Camden and they all feel as though they could finally make it their home. Lexie is not deceiving herself however, she knows that Dex, her ex, will always find them and prepares herself for the eventuality.

The town is also home to Lukas Gunn… a super sexy son of a gun At first glance Lexie can feel that he’s different, but again doesn’t allow herself to hope. Lukas is not only super sexy, he’s also possessive and protective. Exactly what Lexie needs. As Lexie settles in the town- job, friends… she gives in to the charm that is Lukas…

I’ve never in my life been kissed the way Lukas was kissing me, I’d never felt what he made me feel and I never, ever wanted it to end; ever. Fuck, I’m in trouble.

I’d be in trouble too, Lukas was hot and sweet…

“Lex, tonight, as well as every night since I laid eyes on you just goes to show a few things. One, I want you but if I have to wait then that’s exactly what I’ll do-I’ll wait. Two you’re absolutely beautiful  and downright sexy, and the thought of you makes me crazy. Three, I’ve only known you for a short amount of time but I already know just how incredibly strong of a woman you are, and there’s something between us. You can deny it all you want but I’m going to prove to you it’s worth going for.”

Nice as it is to live and hope in Camden, bad things lurk. And whoever is behind it is after lexie. So as much as this was a beautiful love story, we also had suspense thrown in; trying to figure out all the weird goings-on.

I will say that as a lover of romantic suspense (and as you know by now, I grew up reading Nancy Drew Mysteries and was later addicted to Veronica Mars), the suspense wasn’t as suspenseful as I’d have liked. I was upset at Lexie for just throwing herself into dangerous situations unnecessarily…

The romance bit of it however, was really sweet. Lukas and Lexie are hot together. He talks dirty and acts dirtier and is as possessive and loveable as I like them. So yes, he was my favorite character; next to Finn and Molly…

It all wraps up beautifully and I want to know more about the sexy Kane who’s the subject of Book 2

3.5 stars.

Amazon: Unbeautifully Loved by Emma Grayson

In three words I can sum up everything I learned about life. Regardless of the shit going on in your life, this fact still remains.

It. Goes. On

Lexie Todd knew these 3 simple words. They were her mantra. So, after dealing with years of abuse at the hands of her boyfriend and the father of her son, she knows what needs to be done. With help from her best friend Mollie, they go on the run.

After months of being on the run they finally find the perfect town to settle in. Unable to trust and always having her guard up, the last thing Lexie wants is to get involved with Lukas Gunn.

Persistent, annoying, bossy, over protective and extremely hot, Detective Lukas Gunn.

After an incident leaves her vulnerable, Lukas knows there’s something haunting her. He’s determined to find out, wanting to protect her and make her his. But Lexie is determined also. Not wanting to give up her past, she pushes him away. Repeatedly.

But when history repeats itself, will Lexie finally be able to trust those around her to keep her safe? Will Lukas be able to save her? Or will Lexie succumb to only knowing what it’s like to be Unbeautifully Loved?

Book Review – Wanderlust – Skye Warren

Not all who wander are lost.

I found the perfect book. Perfect because as a lover of dark erotica, I am aware that most of it is not about romance… but I never stop hoping… hoping that even as they embrace the darkness, they can find some equilibrium, some light, maybe even love. This is precisely why Wanderlust is the perfect book for me… incredibly dark, but emotional too and yes, I rooted for this unlikely couple.

Evie has grown up sheltered. Not just sheltered but incredibly shut off from the world. Her mother only sees evil in the world and hopes that keeping Evie at home will ensure her safety. After twenty years of this, Evie has had enough, wants to experience the world. Her biggest desire is to see the Niagara Falls. And she sets out to do exactly that. Only to come face to face with Hunter.

There are some men you just don’t say no to.

Hunter is going to take Evie. That much is clear. Just how much she co-operates is up to her. And while she sees the darkness in him, she sees something else too. Or maybe she’s just as broken as him, willing herself to see something else…

I absolutely loved these two characters. I loved that even as Evie saw his darkness, she saw his light. And even as she saw his light, she remembered his darkness. But maybe in all of it, he could save her, and maybe, just maybe she could save him too.

I didn’t know him at all, but he had touched the deepest part of me and in my own way, I had touched the deepest part of him too. There was a strange but addictive magic to sex. It tied a thin string from his soul to mine with every joining, and I wondered how many times it would take before we were inseparable. They were fanciful thoughts, but I felt that way- like dreaming, like lightness. He would bring me back down. he would ground me.

This is dark taboo erotica, so be warned. Deals with non-consensual sex and captivity (so please heed the warning). But what I did not expect is how beautiful it all turns out to be. I laughed, I cried, I hoped…

I loved everything about this book, everything. This is my first Skye Warren book and it will not be the last.

5 stars!

Book Review – The Prince (The Original Sinners Book #3) – Tiffany Reisz

“A good book should leave you… slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it.” – William Styron

Sigh… I definitely lived a thousand lives with this one!

First things first… a tale of two princes… one, the Prince of Kentucky… the other… well the other is Kingsley… the Prince of whatever he wants it to be… but mostly the Prince of the Underground.

Nora is now with Wesley, otherwise known as the Prince of Kentucky. We finally find out more about Wesley, his family and the kingdom he’s bound to inherit. Question is; does Nora fit in Wesley’s world?

The bigger story however is Kingsley’s. We get to see his past, how he and Søren met, which of course then tells us more about Søren and his past. And he was as arrogant then as he is now

“You’re learning Portuguese too?” Kingsley asked. “How many languages do you speak?”

“Eight.”

“I’m bilingual. What do they call someone like you?”

“Intelligent”

Ha! Love that.

First of all I loved the structure of the story. I loved moving back and forth from Kingsley’s past and his present. Some of the revelations shocked me. Especially Søren’s sadism. Seriously frightening stuff. It was like a car crash you can’t look away from.

Yes, some of those scenes were way out of my comfort zone but we all know to expect the unexpected when it comes to Tiffany Reisz… and I’m sure she enjoys shocking the likes of me. But learning Søren’s past does help understand where the sadism comes from… and be prepared for his past… not for the faint hearted!

I will say that while I love Wesley, he annoyed me how much he mentioned Søren’s name. For someone who doesn’t want to be compared to Søren he just couldn’t shut up about him! Which is why I am officially rooting for Søren… especially since we’re getting more and more glimpses of a softer side.

So back to the story. Expect the usual hilarious dialogue… mostly from Nora, that woman is crazy hilarious! Expect even more sadistic scenes from our favorite priest… and some shocking twists. Tiffany Reisz introduces suspense in this one and as with everything she does… its incredible! I really didn’t see that coming… and that end left me murderous… especially since I have to wait till July 30^th!

5 stars.

The perfume is legendary, once worn by Cleopatra and Empress Josephine — and made in New Orleans for more than 150 years. Its history and enthralling scent render it priceless, and while many are determined to exploit it, Joletta Caressa’s beloved grandmother, Violet, took its secret formula with her when she died.

Now Joletta must reconstruct it using the journals written by Violet, who brought the perfume home from a Victorian-era grand tour of Europe. The code is in the yellowed pages, tied to the places Violet visited — London, Paris, the Swiss Alps, Venice, and a secluded garden in the Italian countryside.

As Joletta follows the itinerary described, she runs into Rone Adamson, a charming Southern gentleman with a quirky sense of humor and suspicious understanding of perfume production. After an odd accident, Rone comes to her aid then invites himself on her pilgrimage.

Meanwhile, within the pages of the journal, Violet embarks on a daring love affair, intimately connected to the perfume, with an intriguing artist who woos her with his tender touch. Yet all is not sweet scents and moonlight for Violet in the 1850s; scandal and death darken her path across Europe.

With Joletta’s own path mimicking her grandmother’s much too precisely, she must decide whether to trust her dubious white knight — or leave him behind as she follows the perfume’s trail to its bitter end.

“Who?” asked Markus.
Then Dean jerked his head towards us as his chest expanded in and out.
Markus turned and spotted us in the distance. He froze as his eyes landed on Shane and I. Then he began to breathe hard and I heard his heart accelerate.
“You can’t.” Markus said while staring at me with widened eyes.
