Blitz: The Darkest Torment - Gena Showalter (Lords of the Underworld #12)

Order THE DARKEST TORMENT here!


THE DARKEST TORMENT Synopsis:

Can Beauty tame her Beast? 

Driven to his death by the demon of Distrust, Baden spent centuries in purgatory. Now he's back, but at what cost? Bound to the king of the underworld, an even darker force, he's unable to withstand the touch of another…and he's quickly devolving into a heartless assassin with an uncontrollable temper. Things only get worse when a mission goes awry and he finds himself saddled with a bride—just not his own. 

Famed dog trainer Katarina Joelle is forced to marry a monster to protect her loved ones. When she's taken hostage by the ruthless, beautiful Baden immediately after the ceremony, she's plunged into a war between two evils—with a protector more dangerous than the monsters he hunts. They are meant to be enemies, but neither can resist the passion burning between them…and all too soon the biggest threat is to her heart. 

But as Baden slips deeper into the abyss, she'll have to teach him to love…or lose him forever. 

Includes Q&A featuring J. R. Ward, Jeaniene Frost, Nalini Singh and more!

Wrath by Penelope Marshall
#Mafia #Romance #BadBoy #KindleUnlimited


For years I was a good wife, watching my husband, Christian, the mob boss for the Cerisi crime family, sleep with every woman in sight. 

But all that changed after an impromptu girl's trip to Chicago which led me to a passionate one-night-stand with a handsome, blue-eyed, stranger who was everything Christian was not. 

Unfortunately, he wouldn't be a stranger for very long. 

All I wanted was to put that night behind me. All he wanted was to relive it…

Cover Reveal: Until Ashlyn - Aurora Rose Reynolds


LOOK HOW FREAKING PRETTY THIS COVER IS!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! More cover reveals to come because I absolutely love covers! If I could collect every cover in the world, I am sure to be the happiest person alive!

Synopsis: Dillon Keck knew Ashlyn Mayson was drunk when she suggested they get married. He knew he should have taken her back to their hotel room and put her to bed. Instead, he did what he had been craving to do since the moment they met.

Claim her as his.

Waking up married in Vegas isn't something Ashlyn Mayson ever thought would happen to her. Having Dillon, her boss, a man she thinks is a dick, insist they stay married is absurd, but every time he touches her, she gets lost in him and wonders if maybe they are meant to be together.

But someone isn't happy for Dillon and Ashlyn and their new found romance, and they're willing to do anything to keep them apart. Even commit murder.


Mark it on your calendars, people because you will not want to miss this book.


Until Ashlyn by Aurora Rose Reynolds
Releases December 27th.

ARC: Justice For Boone - Susan Stoker (Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes #6)

Published Date: September 20, 2016
Genre: Romance
Synopsis: Sheriff s Deputy Hayden Yates has worked hard to gain the respect and admiration of her fellow law enforcement officers. She s succeeded so well, in fact, that she s become just one of the guys. As her friends slowly begin to meet their soul mates, Hayden longs to be seen as a desirable woman, and not the tomboy she s always been. 
No slouch when it comes to attracting the opposite sex, cowboy Boone Hatcher might want to give it a rest for a while, especially after his last girlfriend accuses him of domestic abuse. Deputy Yates sees right through his ex s ruse and Boone sees right through Deputy Yates. Hayden might seem all business, but her need for justice comes from a heart that beats with pure passion. 
A few dates turn into something more, and as the couple s relationship deepens, so do the threats from his ex. It s up to Hayden to convince Boone the danger is real before jealous antics escalate to deadly obsession.

Susan Stoker just doesn't disappoint her readers. 

This has to be my all-time --- *awkward silence*

Well not my all time favorite series but she is definitely a favorite author. I definitely wish I could see her in person because she brings such beautiful guys into my life that I can totally drool on. SRSLY.

Like it is awful as too how bad my man crush was on Boone because he is absolutely delicious so I can see why his last girlfriend went crazy. Hayden Yates is my spirit animal. Trust me on this. She gets along better with guys than girls though craves for the attention of the man as a girl. 

UGH.

I want to be Hayden Yates and I want Boone Hatcher to my boyfriend, husband, soulmate. MY FAVORITE BOOK FROM THE SERIES BY FAR. 

Susan Stoker always creates the best of the best characters to be you in that moment. 

4.8 out of 5 stars.

University is the time
To find yourself
But I don’t need to find myself
Just want to find you
 

After watching his older siblings find their love matches at Highbanks University, Mateo Ramirez feels unlikely to follow in their footsteps. What girl would want him? Unlike his brother and sister, he battles diabetes and chooses music over sports. But at least he can write songs about his life—and the girl who caught his eye when their parents ran against each other for US President.

Hey, chica! Come conmigo
And baby, why don’t we go
Down under the bridge to the water
With you it can only get hotter
 

Jessica Monroe is a talented swimmer who dreams of representing Team USA at the Olympics. When she earns an athletic scholarship to Highbanks, she’s excited to attend the same school as the cute boy she met two years ago: Mateo. Too bad he’s not around when a teammate spikes her drink. Jessica may never trust men again.

Trust
Is a hard-to-earn thing
Just
Try to keep listening

Swallow
Down all of the unjust
Hollow
My chest, my heart will bust
 

College years are the time to shake off the past and find your future. But will that future find Mateo and Jessica together? Dive in and immerse yourself in the eagerly anticipated conclusion to Jennifer Lane’s Blocked trilogy.

I FLOVE MATEO AND JESSICA.

FLOVE, FLOVE, FLOVE.

I mean, come on, who wouldn't like this broken guy who ends up being perfectly imperfect with a girl he never thought he would chance to meet. She is beautiful, smart, and yet utterly broken as well.

They build each other up as much as they break each other's walls down.

FLOVE, FLOVE, FLOVE.

Read Mateo and Jessica's story because you will just enjoy how Jennifer Lane ended the series. I'm not bitter that it's over but definitely heart broken.

Falling For My Boss - J.S. Cooper & Helen Cooper (One Night Stand #3)

Published Date: May 16, 2015
Genre: Romance
Synopsis: When Elizabeth Jeffries was hired for a job with her party gram company, she had no idea that her new boss Scott Taylor was going to have such an effect on her. He was a handsome flirt and he liked to push the boundaries of their office relationship. Only Elizabeth, with the guidance of her best friend, has decided to push right back. She wants Scott to know that he’s not the only one that can play games. Thus begins the ultimate game of cat and mouse. They both begin to tease and lure each other into their webs and then something explosive happens. The games go too far and Elizabeth is pushed to the limit. Scott doesn’t know what to think when he finds out Elizabeth’s big secret and the reason why she took the job. The truth causes everything to blow up, however neither one of them were to know that that wasn’t to be the last job that Elizabeth would take that would bring her back into his world.

What can I say about this book other than that it wittingly one of the best romances ever -- Who knew that party grams are the best thing in the world? They can bring the most unpredictable things into your lives. 

In Scott Taylor's world? It brought love and a lot laughs and sexiness.

Boss/Worker relationships always are the best things in the world other than Teacher/Student relations because of the fact that I love these power relationships. Elizabeth Jefferies and Scott Taylor brought no other than that. 

Falling For My Boss is unfortunately so addicting that you kind of, sort of, have to read this in one sitting. I sure as hell couldn't get over this book until I got into another book... But that's a story for another time. 

I don't know about the rest of you bookies, but I always put myself into the story -- Usually as the main character -- and boy, this book took me for a thrill. Luring, teasing, tangling each other into the story and the romance of the Scott Taylor and what he will do to keep one of the best assistants ever. 

4.7 out of 5 stars.

ARC: Ruin - Clarissa Wild

Published Date: September 20, 2016
Genre: Romance/New Adult
Synopsis: Maybell Fairweather was the girl of my dreams.

Always smiling brightly, she kept going, despite the names her classmates called her behind her back.
She was full of curiosity and independence, the extent of which I could only be jealous of. Even though she had all odds stacked against her, she knew what she wanted from life and pursued it, no matter the cost.

She was completely my opposite in every way.
Perfect, even though she couldn’t see it.
Perfect … until me.

Because this is the story of how I ruined her.


He will be my RUIN.
She will be my RUIN.

Clarissa Wild continuously astounds me with her writing skills and Ruin didn't disappoint like I thought it would. There were parts in the story that really blew my mind and before I got to the end-word of Wild's life, I kind of figured out that this book was based off a true story. (If you follow Clarissa on Facebook/Instagram/Etc).

Whenever authors give you a more outstanding look into their lives and how they felt and what exactly inspired it really got me in the guts.

I was expecting some supernatural thing from her because of the cover but don't underestimate the power of Ruin.

I know I probably say this a lot but it was heart-breaking as much heart-mending.

5 out of 5 stars.

READ THIS.

Fighting Silence - Aly Martinez (On The Ropes #1)

Published Date:February 23, 2015
Genre: New Adult/Romance
Synopsis: Sound is an abstract concept for most people. We spend our lives blocking out the static in order to focus on what we believe is important. But what if, when the clarity fades into silence, it's the obscure background noise that you would give anything to hold on to?

I've always been a fighter. With parents who barely managed to stay out of jail and two little brothers who narrowly avoided foster care, I became skilled at dodging the punches life threw at me. Growing up, I didn’t have anything I could call my own, but from the moment I met Eliza Reynolds, she was always mine. I became utterly addicted to her and the escape from reality we provided each other. Throughout the years, she had boyfriends and I had girlfriends, but there wasn't a single night that I didn’t hear her voice.

You see, meeting the love of my life at age thirteen was never part of my plan. However, neither was gradually going deaf at the age of twenty-one.

They both happened anyway.

Now, I'm on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.
Fighting for my career.
Fighting the impending silence.
Fighting for her.

Every night, just before falling asleep, she sighs as a final conscious breath leaves her.

I think that's the sound I'll miss the most.


Each book in this series can be read as a standalone.

This is one book that I can vouch for without having any incentive behind. Aly Martinez brings a whole new perspective into books with the characters -- So damaged and yet so perfect. I took a chance on the boxset because of the many great reviews. 

Till Page and Eliza Reynolds are definitely a book couple that I can love. 

Like I said, Martinez gives us a brilliant perspective into new things. One that I definitely did not expect. 

Just take a chance and read this book.

Till is finding for himself and his family. A beautiful soul inside and out -- Especially when he is looking to get Eliza back. What Till wants, he gets.

5 out of 5 stars.

Anyone who knows me could tell you, I am a friendly kind of person, never met a stranger and take up conversations any where at any time. I work hard, and my mind never seems to shut down, as I wake up often in the middle of the night with ideas pouring out and demanding to be dealt with. Of course that means much of my books were written in the middle of the night.

I grew up and still live in the great state of Texas where everything is bigger, where we have warm weather and a central location. I love my state, my town, and my family, which includes my four sons, my significant other, and many friends as well.

I have thoroughly enjoyed writing the books that are currently available and hope you will enjoy reading them just as much. And of course, there will be many more stories to come.

Total Dick - Christina Saunders (Bad Bitch #3)

Published Date: July 5, 2016
Genre: Romance/Comedy
Synopsis: I’m your classic skirt chaser. A womanizer. A total d*ck. My reputation is dirtier than a New Orleans street after a Mardi Gras parade. I take unwinnable cases and win them. Where people see defeat, I see a big fat paycheck. And when most men see rejection, it’s because the sexiest woman at the bar has already promised to go home with me.

But Scarlett Carmichael is the one person I can’t seem to conquer. This too-cool former debutante has it all—class, attitude, and a body that begs to be worshipped. I’ve never worked with a person like her before—hell, I’ve never played nice with anyone before in my life, and I’m not about to start with her. This woman wasn’t meant to be played nicely with. It’s going to be dirty. It’s going to be hot. She’s about to spend a lot of time with the biggest d*ck in town. And she’s going to love every minute of it…

What's a normal family without a skirt chaser? We all have one. NOPE. Do not lie to me because I know how true it is. There's that one womanizer/(manner)? The total asshole or dick that we just don't want to like but kind of have to because they bring the fun into everything. 

Kennedy is one of those things and boy, does he do it well.

He's even ready to pull the moves on Scarlett Carmichael because well she has the body that he wants. What he doesn't expect is her full on attitude towards him because he has made some poor choices that result him looking like a total asshole and Carmichael definitely calls him out on it. 

THAT'S WHO I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP -- JK. I am grown up and I want to change my life other than this blog and family. Ya know? Sentimental towards these things. 

Anyways, this book will not only have you laughing but it will definitely keep you on your toes which brings this "who dun it" aspect to it all. You just kind of, sort of, have to fall in love with this. 

5 out of 5 stars.

Hardass - Christina Saunders (Bad Bitch #2)

Published Date: July 5, 2016
Genre: Romance/Comedy
Synopsis: I cave in to no one. My hardass exterior is what makes me one of the hottest defense lawyers around. It's why I'm the perfect guy to defend the notorious Bayou Butcher serial killer - and why I'll come out on top.

Except this new associate I've hired is unnaturally skilled at putting chinks in my well-constructed armor. Her brazen talk and fiery attitude make me want to take control of her and silence her - in ways that will keep both of us busy till dawn. She drives me absolutely 100% crazy, but I need her for this case. I need her in my bed. I need her to let loose the man within me who fights with rage and loves with scorching desire...
 

HOLY SHIT, CHRISTINA SAUNDERS MAY BE ON MY FAVORITE AUTHORS LIST!

I have never laughed so hard in one sitting because page after page, she had me clutching my sides. It also had you fanning yourself and re-reading pages because you just wanted to soak in the goodness of her writing skills. 

Washington is a little hardass that does his job when he's asked too but guess what? This little Caroline, -- OH SWEET CAROLINE -- Sorry couldn't resist but she is going to chink away that Wash's hardass exterior and she is going to do it in record time. 

Goddamn. 

I want more of Wash and Caroline -- Is that too much to ask more in a book? Don't stop at three. I want more criminal defense cases and see how well Wash handles being under the pressure. 

5 OUT OF 5 STARS.

Yes... Yes... Yeah, I needed to shout that.

Chaos - Alexis Noelle

Published Date: July 18, 2016
Genre: Romance
Synopsis: CHAOS
That's my life. No other way to describe it.
As the Sargent-at-Arms for the Deathstalkers MC, my days are filled with
Constant craziness and crap.
But I like it.
It's who I am. And what I'm all about.
Finally, after years of Hell, everything feels like it's right where it's supposed to be.
Except with her
She's far from where she's supposed to be.
Tracie is so damned determined to be with someone who isn't "one of us."

Delusional.
That's what she is.
Downright insane at times.
Those idiots can't handle her.
Will never be able to handle her.
And I'm about to show her why.
And she'll finally understand.
Because this life ain't for everyone,
Especially when danger lurks in the shadows of all the
Chaos.

Chaos is the right word to explain this book. I couldn't keep up with this book because it pulled me left, right, up, and down.

I can't say whether i liked this book or not but it was decent to the point of a thrilling romance but it was so typical that I was over this within a heartbeat... Alexis Noelle did a pretty good job at descriptions and keeping you on your toes but you kind of figured out who the antagonist was halfway through.

With Twist, Torch, or something as his name -- It was a cute love story with a twist to it.

3 out of 5 stars.
