Review of "The Club" (The Club Trilogy 1) By Lauren Rowe

Review of "The Club" (The Club Trilogy 1)
By Lauren Rowe

I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  This one was a little hard core and in the beginning I was wondering if I was going to get into it.  But, sure enough, it sucked me in, just like that!  Book 1 is a cliffhanger and I am excited to see what "The Reclamation" (The Club # 2has in store!  I believe this is the first book that author Lauren Rowe has published, and it turned out to be a pleasant surprise for me!

**** 4 Stars ****

Overview

When playboy businessman Jonas Faraday receives a private note from the anonymous intake agent assigned to process the online application to an exclusive club, he becomes obsessed with finding her and giving her the satisfaction she claims has always eluded her.

In the Club, what starts out as an innocent exploration of attraction quickly spirals into a steamy story of unbridled passion, obsession, heartbreak, and ultimately redemption.

Release Date:  January 5, 2015

Review of "Stinger" By Mia Sheridan

Review of "Stinger"
by Mia Sheridan

WOW!!  I think it's safe to say that Mia Sheridan is absolutely amazing!  Stinger is another favorite for me!  The electricity between Grace and Carson was undeniable from the start.  I loved how one unexpected encounter, one magical, unlikely weekend with each other changed their lives forever.  It took me a few days to read this book, but when I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it.  I cannot wait to read more from Mia!  Her books take my imagination to a place where I feel like I am right there with the characters, connected and sharing their joys and pains.  Thank you Mia for doing it again!

***** 5 Stars *****


OVERVIEW

Grace Hamilton was the girl with a plan.  She knew exactly where her life was going and prided herself on always achieving her goals.  It was who she was and how she lived her life.  She never stepped outside the lines, and never considered what she might desire and whom she was actually trying so hard to please.  Until him...

Carson Stinger was a man who didn't play by any rules except his own.  Working in the adult entertainment industry, he didn't care what others thought, and took each day as it came, no direction, no plan.  He knew what women wanted from him and believed it was all he had to offer.  Until her...

When circumstances forced them to spend several hours together, they walked away changed.  But for two people who never should have meshed, overcoming the reality of their vastly different lives wasn't possible.  At least not yet.

THIS IS A STAND-ALONE NOVEL.

Review of "A Beautiful Star" By Lilliana Anderson

Review of "A Beautiful Star"
By Lilliana Anderson

I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I have to say,  I honestly loved this book!!  I really liked the characters; Sandra, Jonathan, Brad, and even Madeline!  This is such a heartwarming story of loss, acceptance,  trust,  patience, and true love.  As much as I have enjoyed the other characters and storylines in The Beautiful Series,  (especially the story of Elliott and Paige) I think this one was my favorite story with my favorite characters.  Thank you for sharing Lilli!  Can't wait for the next one!

That's Right!

Review of "Handled 2"

Review of Handled 2
By Angela Graham  and S.E Hall

I really did love the conclusion to this story.  Handled 2 was also witty and entertaining!  I loved that they were basically forced to rely on each other to survive... Despite the fact that Paige would love to think that she can handle everything on her own.  It was nice to see her soft side peek through her tough exterior.  I do, however, wish that the ending was drawn out just a little bit more.  But overall all I was very pleased with this story!  Completely kept my attention!

Review of "Handled"

Review of "Handled"
By Angela Graham and S.E. Hall

I must say, not many books have made me laugh, but this one literally had me laughing out loud! The quick-witted banter exchanged between Vaughn and Paige is entertaining and will leave you wanting more! Paige is definitely a "firecracker" and Vaughn is just plain sexy. Handled is a cliffhanger, so you will want to make sure that you have Handled 2 ready to jump right into. I give this one 5 stars for keeping me totally entertained!

Review of Second Chance Holiday
By Aurora Rose Reynolds

Another quickie... But I Loved this one!  I had not read the overview (because I just love Aurora Rose Reynolds, and the cover is so cute)  and I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that the characters were familiar! (From the"Until Series")  It was nice to learn about Mike 's story, and Kat was sweet as pie.  I really enjoyed the relationships that developed between Mike,  Kat,  and Brandon! Thanks for another great one Aurora Rose!

Review of Being Neighborly
By Carey Heywood

Who doesn't love a good boy meets girl next door story?  This book was a nice easy Sunday afternoon read!  It is a novella, only 57 pages, and I usually don't love books that short, but the story of Beau and Bethany was sweet and pleasant. I will definitely be checking out more books from author, Carey Heywood!

*** 3.5 Stars ***

Overview

Beau Hamilton spends his days working the family farm, leaving him no time to worry about finding a girlfriend.  He wants to settle down and start a family, but his prospects aren't looking up.  He knows what he wants;  a nice country girl, who doesn't mind living on a farm, a girl nothing like his new neighbor Bethany.

Bethany screams "city" and it's only a matter of time before she higtails it out of farmland and back to the land of coffee shops on every street corner.  She's not the type of girl who would be happy, living on a farm the rest of her life.

Despite all the reasons he shouldn't be, Beau finds himself drawn to her in ways even he can't dismiss as only being neighborly.

Review of Hemy (Walk of Shame #2)
by Victoria Ashley


I must say, Hemy was just about as hot as Slade! Even though this story is filled with sex, I still loved the romance. Who can resist a guy who will do anything when it comes to his one true love? I can't wait to see what Victoria has in store for us with Cale's story!

**** 4 Stars ****

Overview


My name is Hemy and I am a heartbreaker. I have hurt the one person that means the most to me in life; the only woman I've ever loved. I got her where I wanted her, then ripped her heart out. Since then, I've spent countless nights having dirty, meaningless sex, only leaving them wanting and begging for more. Some may even call me the devil; soulless. They look and judge, but there is one thing they don't know. I want more than this life of stripping and sleeping around; the never ending party. I want love and everything that comes with it. The problem is, I only want it with her.
Onyx. She refuses to be mine again. She wants to see me suffer the way I made her. But, I will stop at nothing to make her mine again. The pain only drives me harder; feeding my fury, and giving me a reason to live... her.
Review of Slade (Walk of Shame #1)
By Victoria Ashley


This may be the hottest book I have ever read! Slade and Aspen's raw chemistry is consuming and once you start, you won't be able to put it down. Let me warn you though... This book is not a sweet charming kind of love story, and is not recommended for the easily offended. 

**** 4 Stars ****

Overview

Slade Merrick is a sex addict... it is what he does best. He sees no reason to settle down any time soon. He can have any woman he wants, so who could blame him? When he is not tied up with this hobby, (no pun intended) he is either bartending or stripping, another thing he is way too good at... With Slade, every woman's darkest fantasy is brought to life. Until She walks through the door! Aspen is pure perfection. Slade wants her and she hates it. She hates the way her body reacts to his. Can she deny her feelings for Slade?

Things are about to get dirty...

Review of "Until Trevor"

Until Trevor
by Aurora Rose Reynolds

(Book 2 in the Until Series)

I think that I actually liked this book more than the first one!  Trevor is almost as over-protective as his brother and he and Liz make a perfect pair.  I also really enjoyed the drama in this story;  there was just the right amount of conflict.  I can't wait to see where Aurora takes us in Book 3, Until Lilly!


**** 4 STARS **** 



Overview

Trevor Mayson had his life planned out - make the family business successful, and play the field for a few more years before eventually settling down.  Then he sees her.  Liz Hayes was beautiful, shy and everything that he could ever want... but she didn't fit into his plans.  After Trevor painfully rejects her, Liz finally starts to move on, but Trevor is finding it difficult to truly let her go.  It seems the more he tries to stay away, the more intense his feelings for her become.  Is he ready to change his life plan to let her into his heart?

Review of "Until November"


Until November
by Aurora Rose Reynolds


I really enjoyed this book!  Asher and November were both such lovable characters in their own ways.  I love a good sweet girl, over-protective bad boy plot.  However, I wasn't very fond of how the ending jumped to years into the future.  It made it a little awkward going into the next book of this series in a different time frame than the first one left off at.  But, I recovered pretty quickly.  ;-)  I have already recommended this book to quite a few people.


**** 4 STARS ****


Overview

November is looking forward to getting to know her father, and the safety of a small town.  After leaving the big apple and her bad memories for Tennessee, November starts working for her dad at his strip club doing the books.  The one time she's allowed there during club hours she runs into Asher Mayson.  He's perfect until he opens his mouth and makes assumptions.  November wants nothing to do with Asher, but too bad for November, fate has other plans.  Asher Mayson has never had a problem getting a woman, that is, until November.  Now all he can think about is making November his and keeping her safe.

Review of "Archer's Voice"

I am starting this blog off with one of my favorites!   I will post my reviews first and then a slight overview of each story.  Here goes my first review...



Archer's Voice
by Mia Sheridan

I absolutely adored this book!  Archer and Bree were so easy to love.  Mia Sheridan has done a great job of making the reader feel like they are a part of this story.  Archer's Voice is the Ultimate Underdog Conquest!  Not only was this my favorite stand alone novel, but it is one of the best books I have read so far!  Thank you Mia for sharing this heartwarming tale!

***** 5 STARS *****



Overview

Archer's Voice is the story of a woman chained to the memory of one horrifying night and the man whose love is the key to her freedom.  It is the story of a silent man who lives with an excruciating wound and the woman who helps him find his voice.  It is the story of suffering, fate, and the trans-formative power of love!

Hello Fellow Book Lovers!

Hello fellow book lovers!  

Thanks to a friend of mine, I have been inspired to help others make that most difficult decision of what to read next.  I have read countless reviews that have persuaded my decision to read or not to read certain books.  While everyone has there own opinion of what is worthy and what is not, I respect those who actually take the time to write their honest opinions for all to see.  My hopes are to help fellow readers, by making their next decision a little easier.  Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy!
