My Review!

5 Hot Mafia Stars!

This is my 5th Rachel Van Dyken book and my 5th 5 star 
review for her. To say I am a huge fan is an understatement.
This series is fan freaking tastic. It is so much like reading 
The Sopranos and I friggin love every minute of it. I am 
completely smitten with Nixon.

I started this book off with Flo Rida's tune in my head. "You 
spin my head right round, right round" because I was like, 
why in the hell in Nixon watching Trace with Chase? What? 
It didn't take but just a minute to jump right back in. Elect 
(book 2) picks right up where book 1 left off. It is fantastic!! I
started this book and could not put it down! 

So,..team Chase or Team Nixon? For me, I am Team Nixon. 
Reason? Well You have to read this one and you will find out
that there is a certain someone that I think might just be 
Chase's one. And I think it is going to be fun as hell to read 
about. Nixon is her soul mate, man. You just don't get any 
better than that. But, I lurvvvve Chase. I do, I do. 
Gah, this series is so good. Just go read it. I don't want to 
ruin it!!

Crash Into Me

Crash Into Me
by: Tracy Wolff
Crash Into Me (Shaken Dirty, #1)
 
Blurb:
Jamison Matthews has lusted after Ryder Montgomery since she was a preteen. But now that Ryder and her brother's band, Shaken Dirty, has made it huge, she's just one of many pining for the brooding lead singer. Too bad Ryder still sees her as a little sister. Not that it matters. Her brother would never allow it, and the last thing Jamison wants is to be another notch on a rock star's bed post. Even if it's Ryder's.

Ryder doesn't deserve happiness. After his fame destroyed his last girlfriend, he swore he'd never fall in love again. So when Jamison, the girl he's been in danger of loving for years, joins the band on the road, he'll do anything to deny the sparks between them--even after one hot night together. But Jamison is determined to show Ryder that he's worthy of love--her love--and that she's all grown up and ready to play.
 
*******************************
4 Hot Rockstar Stars!!
*************************
My Review:
 
This is Jamison and Ryder's story. I loved this book. I literally started reading it and devoured it whole. I love me a good rockstar book and was so glad this one didn't dissapoint.

Jamison has been crushing on Ryder for forever. She has watched him and her brother's band grow into the successful band they are now and her crush has grown right along with it. Unfortunately, Jamison is the best friend's sister and totally off limits. Ryder seems to have this under control, but Jamison doesn't. I love Jamison. She is so sweet and sassy and always there for Ryder and I love stories that are about a long time crush and the other person finally "gets it". It worked in a big way.

This book reminds me a lot of Olivia Cunning's style and I couldn't be happier. I loved the side stories going on and the angst and drama. This one was great. If you love your rocker, badass boy stories, don't miss this one.

Before We Fall

Before We Fall (Beautifully Broken #3)
by: Courtney Cole
Before We Fall (Beautifully Broken, #3)
 
Blurb:
Sometimes, one dark moment is all it takes to turn your world black...

For 24-year old Dominic Kinkaide, that moment took place on the night of his high school graduation. One dark incident changed him forever. He's a hardened actor now, famous in the eyes of the world, but tortured in his own. He doesn't care about much of anything, except for losing himself in the roles that he plays.

23-year old Jacey Vincent doesn't realize how much her father's indifference has affected her. She is proof that sometimes it isn't one specific moment that wrecks a person, but rather it's an absence of moments. She's like a bird with a broken wing-strong yet fragile, as she tries to float through life, finding acceptance in the arms of random guys, one after the other... to fill the void that her father left in her.

Until she meets Dominic.

After jaded Dominic and strong-willed Jacey are thrown together, his secret and her issues create a dark and damaged energy that will soon turn their attraction to each other into an explosive storm.

Even though when the clouds have cleared and the dust has settled, both of them are almost obliterated... they've learned a priceless lesson.

Sometimes, before we fall... we fly.
 
*******************************************
4.5 Angsty Dominic Stars!!
**********************************
My review:
Wow. This series has got me hooked. If you thought Pax was an asshole, wait until you meet Dom. He is King Asshole. Up until halfway through this book I didn't care for him at all. He was an arrogant womanizer. If you've read the first 2 in this series, you know that this series isn't light hearted. It's based on darkness involving drug addictions, womanizing, dark secrets, etc. Cole has a way to completely consume you once you get started reading and this one was no different. I found myself unable to put this book down until it was over. Even now, I am left reeling and wanting more.

This is just another great read in this series and I seriously cannot wait to get my hands on the next one. Way to go, Courtney Cole. Bravo.

Night Moves Blog Tour Stop and Giveaway!! Honk Honk!

Night Moves (G-Man #3)
by: Andrea Smith
Night Moves (G-Man, #3)
 
Blurb:
 
There's a new Alpha in town . . . and he's a Brit!

Darcy Nicole Sheridan, is 22 years-old, beautiful, single, spirited, sexy and - spoiled. She knows that about herself. Raised by wealthy (and doting) parents as an only child, Darcy pretty much coasts through life until her heart was inexplicably broken by her boyfriend, Darin.

To ease the pain, Darcy flies to Belize over the holidays fully intending to wallow in self-pity and distance herself from her ex. Her pity party is short-lived however, after observing a very handsome, very intriguing man on the beach. Darcy becomes the focus of the smokin' hot, wealthy and somewhat mysterious 'E.J.'

Soon she finds herself entangled with an alpha like no other… Her world is rocked by a series of events that will forever change the course of her life, showing her what love is all about; and forcing her to come to terms with hidden sexual pleasures only one man could fulfill…
 
*****************************************
5 Oh My God, Andrea is THE SHIT stars!
********************************
 
My Review:
Well, hell. Andrea Smith can write! That bitch is bad ass! She is by far one of my favorite authors, ever. When I hear she is about ready to release a new book, I get so giddy I can hardly contain myself.
 
This is Darcy's book. After reading G-Man #2, I could not wait for Darcy's book. I was hoping and praying she was next! Darcy is a spoiled, born with a silver spoon in her mouth girl who knows it. That doesn't make me love her any less! She is promised a very good position with her daddy's company, but one day he decides, nope, it's time Miss Darcy learns to earn her keep. He up and sells half the company to Easton.
 
 Easton, aka EJ, is a gorgeous, sexy Brit who can melt your panties right off. Easton is very controlled and doesn't even believe he is capable of love. But, ho ho ho, he is about to meet his match! He is set to mentor Darcy and help her earn her way up. He mentors her alright, in and out of the boardroom. Why, you've got a kinky side there Mr. Easton. Love it!
 
After all this we got going on, guess what else we get. Yes, folks, we finally meet back up with Lindsey and the Rat Bastard. And this meeting will have you on the edge of your seat about ready to gnaw your friggin' nails off!
 
This is truly a smutworthy, award winning book and I cannot wait to see Andrea Smith sky rocket straight to the top. Don't forget the little people, girl! Buy this book!

And now.... a little teasy poo for ya!
I awoke with a start; my wrists were painfully sore. Then I remembered. I felt a smile play on my lips as my fingers massaged the tender flesh on one wrist, soothing the skin that had been chaffed by the handcuffs My ankles had been bound together tightly with leather straps which in my mind had been worse but I'd understood the necessity of it. Easton had been about inflicting pain last night, not pleasure. Well that's not altogether true; the pain had brought me pleasure not that he'd intended it to but it had nonetheless.
I snuggled back against him, feeling his arms tighten protectively around me. He was stirring and I knew he hadn't slept well last night. He'd tossed and turned, repositioning himself a half dozen times around me asking me if I was okay. I knew he'd been apprehensive about how I'd react to my punishment; concerned that he'd crossed the line with me or maybe with himself, but I'd leapt across that line, hands and feet bound tightly together into his world of discipline and respect and I understood the rules now; I comprehended this man.
I rolled over to face him, looking up into his smoldering gray eyes that were studying me intently. Was he concerned I'd flee from his bed? Not a chance. I was still naked beneath his sheets. I could still feel his cum dripping from me. My God! We'd fucked most of the night - after the punishment had been dispensed with that is. I'd never been with a man that had a sexual appetite comparable to Easton's. It was as if he'd been on a mission to bury himself in me, and despite my reddened behind and sore wrists and ankles, I hadn't wanted him to stop.  
He lowered his mouth to mine, kissing my lips softly.

Recipe for Attraction

Recipe for Attraction (Madewood Brothers #2)
by: Gina Gordon
Recipe for Attraction (Madewood Brothers, #2)
 
Blurb:
Bad boy Neil Harrison may have sexy body and an even sexier smile, but there’s no way in hell architect Carson Kelly is falling for the elusive bachelor. For starters, he’s her boss, and getting intimately involved with the infuriating alpha male could be a career-killer. And secondly, he’s battling personal demons in one of the most dangerous ways possible: illegal street racing. After a friend’s tragic death years ago, Carson swore she’d never get involved in that life again.

Neil knows Carson’s keeping secrets and he’s determined to uncover all of them…even if he has to seduce them out of her. But as their antagonistic work relationship ignites a passionate affair, Carson must decide if protecting Neil from his need for speed is the perfect outlet for her own restless desire, or if they’re on a one-way path to destruction.
 
****************************
4 Solid Hot Madewood Boys Stars!!
************************************************
 
I absolutely loved this book! You can totally count on the Brazen series to give you a hot, sexy read. I literally devoured this book. I could not get enough. Neil is a broody, obnoxious, stubborn, son of a b*tch and I love it! Carson is a badass biker chick who knows exactly how to handle Neil. While they should not be involved since Neil is basically her boss, the attraction is too strong and they cannot fight it.
 
Carson has her hands full trying to prevent Neil from street racing and her methods are hot as hell! She's basically using sex as a way to keep Neil from potentially harming himself. This book is full of drama and angst and will give you heartburn, for sure. But, it is oh so good!
 
I didn't read book 1 of the series, but I am definitely going back to now. Those Madewood boys are hot! This is definitely a series to keep my eye on!

Searching for Someday

Searching for Someday
by: Jennifer Probst
Searching for Someday (Searching For, #1)
 
Blurb:
Kate has given up on love—at least for herself. She is both blessed and cursed with the ability to sense a romantic connection between two people—a gift that her family passed down for generations. When Kate launches her own matchmaking company, Kinnection, with her two best friends in a cozy New York town, she has to put aside her own romantic disasters to make her business a success.

But when a furious man stalks into her office and accuses her business of being a scam, Kate is given the ultimate challenge to prove herself. Slade puts himself in her hands and asks Kate to find him love. Enraged at his arrogance but stubbornly eager to prove herself, Kate agrees, dedicating herself to the journey of finding him love...only to find herself falling for him along the way.
 
******************************
4 Kinnections Stars!!
*********************
My Review:
You want to know something about Jennifer Probst? Let me tell you. You can rest assured that when you pick up a book by this author, she is going to deliver. This one did not disappoint.
 
My first book by Jennifer Probst was one of the ones from the Marriage to a Billionaire series. I love how we get little snippets from that series in this book. This is Kate's story. Kate has her own Matchmaking company and uses her "gift" to find the perfect match for others. As for finding romance for herself, she lives by Sweet Brown's motto, "ain't nobody got time for that!"
 
Well, she didn't have time for that until we meet Slade. Sexy smexy Slade. I mean, with a name like that, what do you expect? Slade storms in on a mission to prove the business is a scam and to protect his not so vulnerable sister dearest. In order to prove it's not a scam, Kate has to find Slade's match. Bet you never will guess who his match is!
 
Ha, you have to read to see. This book is just another great addition from Jennifer Probst. I already can't wait for the next one from her.

Working It Blog Tour Stop and Giveaway!!

Working It (Love by Design #1)
by: Kendall Ryan
 
Blurb:
Emmy Clarke is out of her depth in New York City’s fashion world, but when she lands a job as an assistant at a modeling agency it seems like the perfect mix of business and pleasure. Working under the notorious Fiona Stone is a nightmare, but there’s one distinct perk: ogling the ridiculously hot male models who parade through the office—particularly rising star Ben Shaw.

Ben is everything Emmy’s not: exquisitely gorgeous, highly paid, and well-traveled. He’s also got more issues than Vogue. Emmy looks after Ben on photo shoots, but she refuses to become another one of his lusting groupies. Ben finds Emmy’s refreshingly real attitude to be surprisingly attractive.

Against a backdrop of the most fashionable cities in the world, casual flirting turns into an illicit affair, but when Ben’s twisted past is revealed, and the bitter Fiona catches wind of their relationship, their careers and hearts are threatened.


Note: This book is intended for mature audiences. It contains sexual encounters and graphic language, including a m/f/m encounter.
 
*******************************
My Review: 4.5 Sexy Smexy Stars!
******************************
I really, really enjoyed this book. It's probably my favorite Kendall Ryan book so far. First off, the cover is amazeballs, but we expected nothing less from this author.
 
I really liked Emmy. She is a sweet and down to earth southern girl trying to make it in the Big Apple with a bitch of a boss in a The Devil Wears Prada sort of way-ish. She is going along doing her best when she gets  a full eye of one Ben Shaw.
 
Ben is it. He's one of the top models and finds himself swooning over Emmy. Problem is, Fiona has her hooks in him. He tries to fight his feelings for Emmy, but it's no use.  Once they all go off to Europe, the shit hits the fan. This book is hot. The scene with Brayden....uhh someone get me a fan.
 
Be sure to grab this one, ladies. I think it's Kendall's best work yet!!
