Miss Mechanic - Emma Hart (Review)

Published Date: December 12, 2017

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: “Don’t let the bastards get you down.”
For twenty-six years, I lived by my daddy’s motto. Which is why “Mechanic Wanted” is all it takes for me to apply for the job at the garage we once owned. 
And I meet the biggest bastard of them all.
Dexter Ryne. Hotter than Hell in July and a firm believer that my place is on reception, taking phone calls and looking pretty. Not getting dirty under the hood of a car. 
Determined to prove each other wrong, we make a deal.
I have three weeks to prove my worth as a mechanic. If I don’t, I’m on telephone duty.
If I do, he’ll accept defeat and make my job permanent. 
Now, all I have to do is fight my attraction to the cocky little… beep.
Problem is, an engine isn’t the only thing he knows how to make purr…

MISS MECHANIC, a standalone romantic comedy from New York Times bestseller, Emma Hart.

Oh hey, girl, heyyyy. 

I loved Jaimie and I want her to be my new best friend. Right along with Noelle. While this book was super centered on the sexy, it was still pretty sexy. The smut, the sex, and the sass. What more can you ask for out of a book? 

Nothing? 

That's what I thought. 

That is why you should one-click this book whether it is paperback or kindle because hello, gender flip. Emma Hart and her awesome idea of putting women in men's positions is amazing. Like five stars amazing. Jaimie is sassy and I absolutely love the fact that I can be a part of her journey. Even for a few pages worth. 

Miss Mechanic will be your next favorite gender flip. 

What does Hart have planned next? Who knows but what I do know is that it will be great. 

Throw that wrench at me so that I can see five stars forever.

Unknown series - Wendy Higgins

Published Date: August 8, 2016

Genre: Paranormal/New Adult

Synopsis: Amber Tate believes the worst thing she’ll suffer in life is dealing with the unrequited love she feels for her brother’s best friend, Rylen Fite. She also believes war is something unfortunate that happens places far, far away from her rural Nevada town. She’s wrong on both counts.

When an unknown organization meticulously bombs major cities in the United States and across the globe, a trickle-down effect spreads to remaining towns at an alarming speed—everything from food and water sources to technology and communications are compromised. Without leadership, the nation is split between paralysis and panic, but Amber isn’t one to hide or watch helplessly. She’s determined to put her nursing skills to use, despite the danger, even if it means working alongside the man she can never have.

In this first installment of NY Times bestselling author, Wendy Higgins’s debut New Adult series, a frighteningly realistic apocalyptic America is brought to life, entwined with searing romantic tension that will leave you eager for more. 

Published Date: February 9, 2017

Genre: Paranormal/New Adult

Synopsis: Being on the run in the desert means food and sanctuary are hard to come by, but Amber Tate and her crew are not about to give up. Not after having so many of the things they love brutally ripped from them by an unknown enemy who sent their world into the apocalypse.

Survival takes precedence, but once safe shelter is found, their guards fall and the emotions they’ve been holding in are finally released. Anger, insecurities...lust. In their tight quarters, Amber, Rylen, Tater, and Remy can't escape it. The past must be faced, and passions run even stronger in the darkest of times.

In the midst of unrest, their worlds are rocked again when they discover the truth about the war that’s ruined their lives. They thought finding out the enemy's identity would give them the edge; instead it’s revealed terrifying dangers they never thought possible.

Published Date: December 5, 2017

Genre: Paranormal/New Adult

Synopsis: USA Today and New York Times bestselling author, Wendy Higgins, brings you the gripping, sensual conclusion to her apocalyptic trilogy.

Amber Tate never dreamed their heart-wrenching escape from the enemy’s attack would lead them to the most beautiful place she’s ever seen, marred by one ugly fact; it’s under enemy control. Like everywhere else in the world, Elmendorf military base in Alaska has been captured, and it’s time to take it back—all of it—one base, one city at a time. After losing so much, Amber clings to the only precious person she has left and vows to sacrifice everything to help save the Earth.

Remy Haines is a lover, not a fighter, so when she finds herself in enemy territory, expected to feign allegiance while gathering intel for the rebel cause, she’s never been more out of her element. Tensions only increase when her feelings for Jacob “Tater” Tate won’t go away, and the enemy’s leader takes an interest in her. She’s torn between what her heart wants, and what she knows she should do. As for what her body needs…well, it’s always had a mind of its own.

Anything Wendy Higgins makes me fall in love with books again. Which is why when I got offered the opportunity to read her newest series, Unknown, I took it. 

I am so glad I took the chance because Amber Tate (Pepper) and Rylen Fite are my new favorite book couple... Granted my favorite book couples is probably a hundred by now. I feel as though I grew up right next to Amber, Remy, Rylen, and Tater. They have wormed their way into my hearts just as the aliens did. 

Conspiracy theories should not be theories. I believe in them and so that means they shouldn't be considered theories. I loved the series because they brought to life the Paranormal world I wished existed. Minus the creepy characters and the aliens. But I kind of fell in love with one of the aliens as what they did was just pure sexy. 

That should feel so wrong but it doesn't. 

Thank the heavens for Wendy Higgins for bringing to life some of the sexiest books yet making it seem so wrong to think that. I love her books and if you are a paranormal fan as I am with a few hints of romance, this is the series for you to try.

Trust me on this and you won't regret it.

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.

** Justice for Boone is the 6th book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

Predator - Michelle Horst

Published Date: April 29, 2016

Genre: Romance/Suspense

Synopsis: All my life I’ve been hiding, until there is no corner on this god-forsaken earth left for me to hide. I have to pay for the sins of my father. No one with Ellison blood in their veins is allowed to live, and I am the last of my bloodline. 

I am kept in a container waiting for my death sentence to be carried out, when he comes. He is only known as ‘Predator’. No one knows who he works for, only that he leaves no one alive.
His every breath is filled with the last gasp of his dying prey.
But for some reason he doesn’t kill me.
I don’t know which is worse, the death sentence hanging over my head, or being at his mercy.

HOLY CRAP!

I did not know this book was going to be this great. So sexy. So brilliant. 

All her life, she has been hiding but from what... 

Predator or savior? 

He is on his way but will he save the girl that is to pay her life for her family's sins? 

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Predator because not only was it this psychological twist, it was just an amazing story. 

4.7 out of 5 stars.

Booty Call - Ainsley Booth (Forbidden Bodyguard #2)

Published Date: February 23, 2016

Genre: Romance

Synopsis: I know what I’m doing when I text Scott at four in the morning. 

He knows what I’m doing, too. 
That’s why he shows up twenty-three minutes later, freshly showered with a condom in his pocket and a barely dissolved breath mint on his tongue. 
I smirk as he looms over me. “You are such a dirty old man.” 
“We need to stop doing this.” 
“Why?” 
“Because you’re twenty-one and I’m not. Because I want to take you on a f***ing date and you won’t. Because we wind up yelling at each other half the time.” 
“But the rest of the time you’re inside me and it feels so good, right?” 
His eyes darken and I don’t need to look down to know he’s hard for me. 

Booty Call is a sequel to Hate F*CK and well, I think that the first part serial was much better than this one. Up and down, I felt so confused as to what was happening. 

Not the greatest story ever because Scott was practically insufferable but Ali was much worse. At first, I thought this was a sequel to another series but I was wrong. The characters and storyline were so similar that I just had to put the book down a few times.

Living a rich life sounds nice and all but it sounds like Ali wants out. Other than getting all of the lingerie that she wants. 

Clichéd, unnatural, and no personality characters -- except caveman and cavewoman. 

I was expecting a dirty romance but it took about half the book before it jumped to the "dirty" deed. 

Shocker. Ali is a virgin and Scott -- he wants her but can't have her... Can't taint her. 

14 YEARS APART. Jesus. Okay, older men have a certain appeal but this is just too much for me. I cannot deal with this. He really was a dirty old man who I felt like was always creeping on Ali. But she did it much worse on him by throwing down some really, really, REALLY cliché lines. 

Booty Call -- an awful romance.

2.2 out of 5 stars.

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.
