His Property - Hannah Ford (His Property #1)

Published Date: April 7, 2016
Genre: Erotica
Synopsis: Whips. Chains. Punishments. 
These are my world now, ever since gorgeous billionaire Liam Rutherford pushed me into the back of his expensive black SUV, forcing me to live with him at his fancy penthouse apartment in New York City, holding me as collateral for my father’s gambling debt. 
He claims I don’t have to do anything I’m not comfortable with. 
But that’s only because he’s convinced he’ll be able to break me down, to make me beg for his whips and chains, his rules and punishments -- and all the other twisted, filthy things he’s into. 
His chiseled abs, his intoxicating smile, his tongue pushing past my lips, his nails digging into my back… they’re making me lose my mind. I am a slave to his every desire, his every want, his every wicked whisper. 
The need for him rages inside of me, even as it makes the humiliation scorch my veins from the inside out. 
He says he’s beyond saving. 
But I’m going to do my damnedest to try… 
Before he breaks me completely. 

Oh boy, what to say about this book... 

I don't know whether I liked it or not. Seriously, it was like 10 pages and then it just stopped -- TO BE CONTINUED. Like what? Why not just finish it? But I can also understand why she didn't. 

Hannah Ford gives us a short, sweet, and full of Rutherford. 

I think this is a series that I will be continuing in the future but it won't be anytime soon.

There's not much that I cannot say about this book without giving away everything but I found that this book really was an adorable book.

3 out of 5 stars.

Project: Killer - J.L. Beck (Project #1)

Published Date: May 16, 2016
Genre: Dark Romance
Synopsis: In her eyes, he would always be the same…

Twenty-four-year-old Maggie Jacobs had lived a life of heartache and pain. After losing the one and only man she ever loved to incurable cancer, she went on to take a job working for PGI Corporation in hopes she could find a cure in honor of him one day. Little did she know her very working there could be the difference between life and death.

Killer was just that—a killer. He lived for the moments when he could break bones and bring other’s nightmares to life. After all, isn't that what they wanted from him? Genetically altered by the government, stripped of all his own memories, Killer heads down a dark and dangerous road. Memories evade his mind, but nothing sticks out quite like the girl in his dreams. With her dark brown hair and eyes, she’s a danger to his heart, but a victim to his rage. He knows she has the answers to his past. If he gets his hands on her, she will never be seen again.

Secrets, lies, and the sweetest of betrayals encompass them. Can Killer find his way through the rage and back to Maggie or is it too late? Can someone who is hell bent on being broken truly be saved?

This book will be the death of me.

Not because I hated it but because of how much I enjoyed it. Now this is a book that I would purchase because Project: Killer was so well-put together by the lovely J.L. Beck and her amazing writing. She can write erotica but she wove in this dark intricacy throughout this book that you kind of had to fall in love with him. 

Killer, the ultimate... Well, killer has the heart of steel and he is cold as ice. He is void of human emotion and all around one of the scariest characters to be around. But he is someone that I want. Emotionally and physically. 

I loved Maggie because she brings to life the definition and embodies true love. 

It was unwavering ever since their childhood and glimpses into that made me just love this book even more. So it was a good 4.6 out of stars.

Spy Girl - Jillian Todd (Spy Girl #1)

Published Date: April 12, 2016
Genre: Romance
Synopsis: Huntley Von Allister’s first mission sounded easy enough:
Get close to the hottest Prince on the planet.
Keep him safe. 
Uncover the plot to assassinate him. 
Kill the bad guys. 
And don’t blow her cover. 

She is well-trained and ready for anything . . . or so she thought. 

Prince Lorenzo is called the Playboy Prince for a reason, and his brand of panty-melting charm is adding a whole new sexy level of complication. Especially considering she has way too much chemistry with his friend and Olympic athlete, Daniel Spear.

Now the biggest challenge of her mission?

Protecting her heart.
And at what cost?

I don't know whether to say that I liked the book or not. I mean, I obviously liked it well enough to give it a 4.3 out of 5 but personally, the whole concept was skewed in my head. She was supposed to fall in love with the most handsome guy on the planet. But then best friend? Like what the hell just happened to everything?

The book trailer definitely made the book look better than it was so I suppose Jillian had that going for her. But I guess that I really liked the whole James Bond feel to the book and because this was my first time reading Jillian, I am surprised that I wasn't disappointed in the book. (I hardly venture out from my known authors). 


Spy Girl will honestly cut your heart out and serve it to you on a silver platter. Because hey, she's the whole concept of an ice queen until boys melt her heart away.

You Don't Own Me: A Bad Boy Mafia Romance - Georgia Le Carre (The Russian Don #1)

Published Date: March 17, 2016
Genre: Romance/Erotica
Synopsis: Dahlia 'You Don't Own Me.'  Zane 'In my world I own everything.'
Zane
I'm everything a mother prays her daughter will never come across.
Manwhore, Mafia boss and ruthless killer.
I've never met a woman who could hold my attention longer than it took to satisfy my c**k.
Until Dahlia Fury.
She alone is different. She walked into my world, the way a lamb strays into the path of a wolf, completely defenseless.
She made me hard the moment our eyes locked. I had to have her. But I never imagined taking her would be like popping a powerful drug. One I'd crave over and over.
The heat between us is blazing, like nothing I've experienced before, and every time I see her I want to devour her inch by inch.
I defined the terms of our arrangement (one month), but each time I brand her, like a damned addict I need another fix ...

-
Dahlia
'You can do it. It's just a simple Swedish massage,' my friend pleaded. I should have listened to my inner voice. I shouldn't have gone, but I didn't, and ended up in a room alone with the epitome of an Alpha male, a sexy powerful Mafia boss with eyes cold enough to freeze my blood.
He took hold of my body in the most shockingly possessive way. He made me lose control. I ran from him as if all the devils in hell were hot on my heels, but he never left my mind.  
Then, something unthinkable happens and the cold-hearted predator is the only one who can help. He agrees to help, but ... nothing is for free.
Now I roam around his London mansion waiting for him to summon me, touch me, arouse me, and satisfy me.  
The way only my Russian Man Beast can...

Oh god damn, this is a book that has kept me on my toes and that has not happened in a really long time. But there were some downfalls and I am going to tell you some of them.

My insides shriveled up as soon as I read the first encounter between Dahlia and Zane. It was crude, rude, and plain out disgusting. I mean, there was only so much that I could take from this book before I had to close it. 

But from what I know, this was meant to be an erotica. So I braved through it again and it actually started to bring my attention up again. I wasn't getting bored as I predicted because it was steamy. It was hot. It was sexy.

Though, I do have to take an honest route and call rape in some case here. But you will have to read this book before you can call your own shots on this. Because in the end, I did end up falling in love with Zane. The unpredictable and yet ultimate alpha book boyfriend.

But hey, this book as mentioned was as hot as a sauna inside of a volcano. Yeah, that's hot, hot, hot. But without giving away too many spoilers because of the fact I don't want to ruin this book for those that are wanting to read this book. I will say in the end, I did enjoy this book enough to rate it a high 3.9 out of 5 stars. 

It wasn't goddamn awful but I wish I could get some whiteout and white it out.

Aced - Jennifer Lane (Blocked #2)

Published Date: December 2, 2015
Genre: Romance
Synopsis: Volleyball wonder Lucia Ramirez found her love match in Blocked despite the glaring political spotlight aimed on her family. In Aced, the second book in Jennifer Lane’s Blocked series, it could be her brother Alejandro’s turn to get lucky in love. 

Medical student Alejandro’s hot Latin looks get him plenty of attention, but his deep faith and admiration for his father keep him on a righteous path, with no time for something as frivolous as love. He strives to do the right thing—study diligently, take care of his siblings, represent the family well—so why does he feel so unfulfilled?

Enter Lucia’s friend and teammate Maddie Brooks, who shines at blocking the ball and acing the serve. Too bad this graduating senior isn’t so confident about her life off the court. Her longtime boyfriend has just bailed on her, and med school applications loom large. Oh, and a nerve-wracking tryout for Team USA also approaches.

Maddie meets Alejandro when he visits Lucia at school, and she’s soon drawn to his sharp mind. Alejandro is similarly intrigued by Maddie’s talent and strength. But will personal biases and family politics smother the slow burn of their attraction? Unless Maddie can learn to believe in herself, and Alejandro can become his own man, their kindling romance hardly stands a chance.

Will either of them be bold enough to try something new? Find out in this emotion-rich story that refuses to shy away from life’s hardest questions. Because love is worth the risk. 

Wow. This is what I call a 5-star-ish read. When it came down to Luz's love story from the Ramirez family, I knew that I needed to get my hands on the second one, Aced. Maybe I have been a sucker for sports romances because Alejandro and Maddie are completely blowing up the area. 

Be still my heart because they just put me under their beautiful love. 

Though I am trying to describe this book, the only word that comes to mind is foreign. It is their personalities. They bring out the best and the worst in each other. But to be honest, Alejandro is probably the cutest character due to the fact that I have read. 

Stubborn, athletic, smart, Alejandro will make your heart beat faster and faster. 

My heart reaches out to Maddie because of how her relationship played out before she met Alejandro. I just want to scream and shout that she goes. She's awesome and needs to understand that.  Just as I described Alejandro. They were practically a match made in heaven. 

This is a good 4.5 out of 5 stars.
