Je Suis à Toi - Pepper Winters (Monsters in the Dark #3.5)

“Life taught me an eternal love will demand the worst sacrifices. A transcendent love will split your soul, cleaving you into pieces. A love this strong doesn’t grant you sweetness—it grants you pain. And in that pain is the greatest pleasure of all.”

Genre: Erotic

Synopsis: Q made me the happiest esclave in the world. He gave me his heart, his empire, his ruthless unforgiving love. And life finally left us in peace.

A man like my maître has special needs though, growing stronger as our lives intertwine. The only way to survive his monster is to agree to all his desires.

Including his latest wish.

I’m his.

And I won’t refuse.

Review: I found this book incredibly erotic and amazing. This was the first time that I read Pepper Winters but I can guarantee that it won't be the last time. A novella that held the darkness of people's hearts and told the romantic nature of it all.

This encompassed my love for these dark tales and I can assure you that my reviews for the Monsters in the Dark series is definitely not over now that I finally got a taste of it. Without truly realizing it, this is the book that shows how messed up I am because I loved something that shouldn't be in my dictionary of affection. Q and Tessa are ready to thieve away your heart.

Will you accept the challenge of letting them? This is a 4.3 out of 5 stars.

Excerpt

“Don’t struggle. You know I’ll keep you safe.” Q’s murmur danced down my back.

My panic receded as trust billowed fast and true.

Q was born into darkness, but he’d never baptized me in his blackest desires. And because of that, I could implicitly say he spoke the truth. No matter what he did to me, he would never truly harm me.

Q paused, his tattooed chest soaking. His feathered sparrows fluffing off droplets almost alive on his skin. “I told you once never to fall for me. That I didn’t want the curse of breaking your heart while I broke so many other pieces of you.” His hands landed on my breasts, cupping them reverently. “Yet you fought me, just like you said you would. You fell for me, just like you promised me you would. And now, you’re willing to give me what I need even after I tricked you and lied.”

I swayed as I fell even deeper for this complex husband of mine. Q was all my fantasies in one glorious lifetime. The fact he finally wanted to share me with his child spoke volumes about his capacity to love.

“I’m so glad you ignored me, esclave.” His fingertips branded my nipples with pain. “So fucking happy you married me.” Pushing me backward, he smiled harshly as my spine met the pool wall. His chest strained as he sucked in a heavy breath. “You’re so fucking beautiful.”

My heart hammered in my ears as he kissed me.

His tongue laced with mine, and I sank into the sweet embrace, knowing it would be the last I received tonight. The air crackled with an impending storm. Q’s control frayed every second, his eyes drenching in determination and the salacious need to hurt.

Breaking the kiss, he opened his hand, revealing the other item he’d retrieved.

A tiny pair of silver scissors.

Haven’t met Q & Tess yet?

Wicked Games - Samanthe Beck (McCade Brothers #1.5)

Published Date: March 31, 2014

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...

When a battle of wills becomes a game of lust, one wrong move could be fatal.

Actress Stacy Roberts is ready to ride her rising star straight to Hollywood’s A-list. All she needs is the famous Hollywood Hedonism party (check), one very naughty angel costume (check), and a few drinks to get her sexy swagger back (check, check). Tonight, she is not aching for her hot, hard-bodied ex. Or worrying about the threatening letters signed by "Your Worst Nightmare."

For Detective Ian Ford, "nightmare" doesn’t begin to cover it. Whatever demons prompted Stacy to cut and run have him tied up in knots. Worse, his ex is dressed to kill any man with a pulse, and Ian is seeing red. If Stacy wants trouble, she’ll find it. Only Ian’s going to make damned sure that the only trouble she gets is with him.There are no rules. They either both win, or they both lose. But this time, there’s an extra player—one who’s determined to make sure this is the very last game Stacy plays…

I didn't know what I was supposed to expect from this book other than the fact that I 1-Clicked this book from the cover of the book. It reminded me a lot of Jennifer L. Armentrout's series, The Gamble Brothers. Well, I guess it comes from the same publisher. Brothers. Who knew they could bring us so much joy?

Alright. These series tend to be a thriller kind of romance. There's an antagonist, protagonist, and a semi hero along for the ride. Isn't that all we dream about? A steamy romance minus the antagonist. You're looking for HEA and this book does have one but it also has the wave effect where you are going up and down and up and down. There's no plateau in this book, if that's what you're looking for.

It's hot. It's steamy. It's somewhat played out. 

I don't whether I am starting to get over romance but this one didn't seem to do it for me. I mean, sure, it had it's hot guy. The girl who needs saving but claims she doesn't. During this book, you'll probably want to close your book a few times before opening it again because it just didn't float your boat. 

But I do have to admit that Ian Ford is not only the typical alpha male that I so crave but there is also the factor that i hate that every romance book that the girl is always so messed up. Needs the saving. But hey, some people like that factor so go you, Samanthe Beck. I appreciate your writing. I really do. But I do have to say that the storyline did not thicken enough for me to enjoy the book. 

Don't get me wrong. I liked the book to an extent but I also think that there could have been more to the story. It jumped around way too much and it wasn't steady. So if a rating of 3 out of 5 stars, I'll leave you guys with the thought that if you like short and sweet HEA's, this is the book for you.

Excerpt: 

“Firecracker, does this feel like I don’t desire you?” Marshall grinds his groin into my ass, letting me feel his thickness. The resistance I have been putting up falls away like a thin layer of clothing. Heat settles in the pit of my stomach and a dull ache forms between my thighs.“I’ve wanted you every day since I saw you almost ten years ago, Rachel,” Marshall whispers into my neck as he nips along the column making me shudder. “I’ve never stopped wanting you,” he continues, his voice coming out gruff due to my grinding down on his thick, pulsing length. “I was just waiting on you to realize you wanted me too, and to stop being so fucking difficult.” “I’m sorry,” I apologize, because I really am. So caught up in my insecurities and fear, that I almost ruined the best thing to ever happen to me. “You were never in danger of losing me, Rae,” he lets me know while he holds my face in his hands. “’Til death, baby. Only death will keep us apart; and even then…” My lips crash to his with nothing more to say between us. Our bodies long to communicate in the best way we know how. Our bodies long to connect. My skin buzzes with heightened arousal as our tongues touch, an electric current zapping through me. “If you leave me, this earth, I will find you, Rachel,” he threatens. “You can’t leave me. Whatever happens, tell me we’ll face it together; that we’ll get through it together.” How can I deny him that? He wants to partake of my joy and my sorrow. He wants to be there with me through whatever life throws at us and here I am: wanting to bail. “If you leave me, I will rampage through Hell to drag you back to me,” he asserts and I can’t help but chuckle lightly. “You assume I’d go to Hell?” I question. “Hell is reserved for evil people, I hear,” he states. “And evil would be leaving me on this Earth to let other women have their ways with me.” That causes me pause. Looking over my shoulder, I pin him with serious eyes as I tell him, “If I die and that happens, know that you will have no peace. I will haunt you until you off yourself.” Marshall only smiles against my neck before saying, “Ditto.”

Ghiselle St. James is a Jamaican author who has a never-ending love for

written thoughts: poetry, song lyrics and non-fiction. She has been writing

erotic novels since she was 13 years old which made her popular with the

boys (hehe). Writing has been her outlet, as has singing, for most of her

life, and will continue to be.

I really hate talking about myself in the third person…

Having graduated in 2010 from the Jamaica Theological Seminary, with an

honors’ degree in Social Work, the writer in me seemed to reawaken and has

yet to go back to sleep.

I completed my first novel in January of 2013 and had never felt so

accomplished in my life. Since then I have published four books and have no

plans on stopping any time soon.

I write what’s in my heart as it’s hard to separate my heart from anything

I write. As a result, characters that are real to me often come out. I pray

my passion brings you as much joy as it has brought me.

After seven years. Has fate finally given the the chance for Rachel to come back to him? With this book, I think you will fall in love with the idea of love even further. Personally, I don't believe in love but when it comes to these books, it makes me want to believe that it is real. You just have no choice. It has been seven years in waiting to be back in the arms of their loved ones again. 

In the previous novella, we delve into further why they have stayed away from each other. They drove each other away with their own actions. Sadly. You want to smack Rachel. But you also want to sock Marshall. There's no winning in the situation.

I definitely had a love-hate relationship with the characters but this book shows that life is full of complications that will always rip people destined to be together apart from each other. No words.

In this book, you will find psychotic women, love-sick men, secrets, and more within the pages of the book. So I guess, you will have to 1-click the book to see where you find yourself with the characters. With the rating of 3.7 out of 5 stars, you can meet Marshall and Rachel and continue their story.

Complicated - Ghiselle St. James (Tainted Love #2.5)

Published Date: April 25, 2015

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: Seven years ago, a secret had torn them apart, but their love always pulled them back together. Things have taken a turn for the worse, and once again, circumstances have brought them together. Can Rachel continue to hide behind her past, or will she stop running from the one man she would love forever? Can Marshall get his girl back, or will it always be a complicated cycle of make ups and break ups?

When Ghiselle came into contact with me about the books, I knew that after reading the synopsis, I just had to get my hands on it. Please excuse my grabby hands while I start reading one book after another.

With this series, the story line did rapidly move forward and it was hard to keep up with every single detail but Marshall and Rachel's relationship wasn't the ideal one. That's for sure. As you further their story,you want to smack Rachel. Several times if I may add.

I just cannot deal with the ongoing cycle between the two and I just don't understand. Well, I guess that is why the book is called Complicated. However, I cannot say that I didn't like the book. It kept me well on my toes and I think the main reason I was confused was because I was thrown right in the middle of their relationship. I didn't get the full feel.

Marshall, an attractive man that is obviously very old compared to an underage girl. But this is the romance that you like to call taboo. Something that you don't want to talk about because it's a hush hush situation. You don't really expect it to happen and boom, it hits you in the face.

The way the book ended made me immediately open up the next one and you just have to continue to read the series. Or the novellas. Whichever you'd like to say this book is. Definitely a short read so if you're looking for a thrilling, short taboo romance, this is the read for you. A simple but demurring 3.9 stars out of 5.

SLACK - J.A. Huss (Rook & Ronin Novella)

Published Date: December 18, 2013

Genre: New Adult

Synopsis: Ford Aston is not too picky about what he wants out of Christmas. He’s not into this holiday—like at all. He doesn’t do presents, or family dinners, or parties, or church. 

He does pets. And he’s got one lined up for Christmas Eve. In fact, it’s the highlight of his day. And if he can get through drop-in visits, nosy twelve year olds, an inappropriate conversation with his best friend’s girlfriend, dinner with a family that’s not his, and a party at his mother’s house—well, he might just get home in time to enjoy himself with a stranger and make it all OK.

SLACK: A Day in the Life of Ford Aston, is a prequel to TAUT: The Ford Book, and can be read as a standalone novella.

Getting more insight into Ford Aston is definitely something I needed. When I first met him, I definitely rolled my eyes at him and asked who this arrogant bastard was. The more I read this novella, you learn even more about him and I could see my favorite messed up billionaire from Fifty Shades playing in here. I mean, tell me that you can see it because if you can't, then you need to read Fifty Shades again and get your eyes and mind checked.

I really cannot wait for Taut because I will get even more Ford in my life. Although he acts cocky and very arrogant, all he seeks for is acceptance and love. But I could see that he doesn't see himself to be loved. All he does are submissive because he is a dominant at hand and you can't ask for anything more because it is definitely hot.

Ford Aston is Christian Grey reincarnated and I don't mind at all where it leads me. Who doesn't want to have a day in Ford Aston because although he has a cold exterior, he just needs to warm up to you and you'll kind of want to put him on your book boyfriends list.

I rate this a good 3 out of 5 stars and it is only low because I want more and more and more.

It Was Always You - Brenna Aubrey (Gaming the System Novella)

Published Date: May 22, 2015

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis: It Was Always You, a Gaming The System short 

Friends discover their feelings are more than that but timing has never been on their side. 

When Jeremy, her brother’s best friend, came back into her life, Michaela cursed the fact that she was in a relationship with someone else. But now that she’s free, he’s dating her roommate. 

This is a contemporary romance novella with a happy ending. The characters exist in the same world as Brenna Aubrey’s bestselling Gaming The System series, but you don’t need to have read any of those books to enjoy this story. 

Good god, Michaela. You can't see that a man is pretty much loving you and they settled for second best with your roommate. Yeah, she's pretty and all but you can see that Tiffany does not like Mic for the fact that her boyfriend likes Mic more because they bond and stuff.

Short book but of course a happy ending. Jealous much over relationships? The timing is definitely bad and you do feel bad for Tiffany at the end. 

I don't have much to say about Mic and Jeremy, just because it was such a short book and you didn't really get to bond with them for very long. You only knew little snips of their life together and didn't get the full feel. It was rushed and definitely should not have been only a novella. Their story was cute but not long enough.

Time to go back to Mia and Adam in the third installment of the story. Brenna is someone that I enjoy reading because she makes her books super steamy and yet romantic at the same time, all while being heartbreaking. I rate this book a good 2.8 out of 5 stars.

"His eyes returned to mine. All his features, his coloring looked like shades of deep blue in the faint light of this mountain evening. 'That it was always you.' Those words seemed to trail out between his lips, mix with that phantom breath, coalesce into something otherworldly between us. My throat tightened and I swallowed."

Follow - J.A. Huss (Social Media #1)

Published Date: August 27, 2014

Genre: New Adult/Erotic Romance

Synopsis:#Women.

I fuck them. I use them. I pay them off. I find another. My demands are never denied. My contracts are always signed. They submit to me. Willingly. Completely. Temporarily. This is how it's always been.

Until I saw that filthy tweet.

@VaughnAsher My bare pussy. Your tongue. #ThingsIThinkAboutToGetOff

"FilthyBlueBird" thinks she can tease me with hashtags and then hide behind a Twitter handle? She thinks I wouldn't be more than happy to #RockHerFilthyWorld? She's wrong.

Her online fantasy is about to collide with her public reality, and it's about to happen... now.

I am not quite sure how I felt about this book. J.A. Huss is an interesting writer and I read this book way back June and I guess that I never wrote a review about it. My thoughts were drawn to Fifty Shades of Grey, because the main girl meets handsome, rich, famous guy, bondage, sex, and heartbreak is all involved. 

Every single time I read a book like this, I am slightly intrigued. One of my favorite authors is E.L. James and I am waiting for Grey to get into my hands but this is a slightly more modernized book, Fifty Shades of Grey meets, excuse my language but fuckin' Twitter and Facebook and all of that nonsense. 

Anyways, my rating on this a 3.8 stars out of 5. It will be up to whether to read it my awesome book nerds but if you are looking for a new genre to read, this is a read for you.
