Review: Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma

5 stars




An emotional roller coaster!!! Lochan and Maya are brother and sister that care for their younger siblings. Most of the time they felt like the parents and you can feel their inner turmoil over their changing relationship. 

As disturbing as their relationship was, it felt right for them and the moments they shared was so special. 

You're not just my brother, you're my best friend


Individually I loved them both. Lochan for his social awkwardness and protector of the family. Maya for her strength and her decisiveness.

Heartbreaking, emotional and full ofangst for their forbidden relationship. This is a story I will not forget.

Thanks for the BR Harriet, I would never have read this alone x

Review: Sex. Love. Repeat by Alessandra Torre

4 stars




This was a very unique book. Madison has 2 relationship going on at the same time where they both know about the other. I liked that we find out how this arrangements came about.

Both guys were gorgeous and the sex scenes were hot. I had a hard time deciding who I liked better.

And the more I fuck one, the more turned on the other gets


The ending was bittersweet for me as although it was the right decision for Madison, it was not the choice I wanted.

If your looking for a book with loads of sex and a few shockers this is a really good book to pick up.

Review: Crossing the Line by Kele Moon

5 stars



Another one in the battered hearts series I love. Tabitha and Wyatt have been separated for 13 years but now she's back. The story brought us back to when they were younger and we got to know them through the years. 

Wyatt... where would you find a guy like him? So unconditionally devoted to Tabitha. And Tabitha, I was worried I would be angry at her for leaving. But it was completely the right decision.

Nothing is impossible, especially if it’s worth fighting for, and you have always been worth fighting for.


Love all the old characters back. Although we've had Clay's story I feel we understand his past a bit better. And Jules, I love the twin chemistry with Wyatt. 

Overall, great romance development,a decent amount of sexy time, and I thought it was one of the best second chance romance I've read in a while. X

Review: Love Plus One by Andrea Smith

4 stars



Very enjoyable!! Lindsey is the daughter of Sammie from book 1. Fate has her crossing paths with one of the g-men and manwhore, Taz. 

What I liked about this book was I thought it had the perfect mix of drama/smut/suspense. Taz was adelicious Alpha male and Lindsey was a very likeable heroine (except for one bit).

We're going to my place... We're going to fuck


There isn't much I can say negatively about this book except that I didnt read the rape warning in the blurb otherwise I would have been able to prepare myself better. Still, wasn't easy to read. 

This book had great pace, it wassteamy but had a great storyline going and of course most importantlyTaz was hot. What more can you ask for?! Well worth a try x

Review: Crash into Me by Tracy Wolff

4 stars



I cannot resist a brothers best friendromance. Jamison finds herself touring with her brother and her brothers best friend, Ryder, who she has had a crush on for a long time.

The steamy scenes were hot! Jamison and Ryder were very likeable. I wasshocked by some of the events at the end.

I promise I won't attack you in your sleep. Your virtue is safe with me.


My only problem is I`m not a big fan ofthird person pov. But, I will definitely be looking out for the next in the series. I would recommend this if you want aquick steamy rocker book with a bunch of guys with issues.

Review: Remember When 3 by T Torrest

4 stars




After that heartbreaking cliffy in the last book, I could not wait to finally have this book in my hands. I loved being back with Trip.

I've always loved you, Lay. It's always been you.


I enjoyed all the sexy and happy times,they deserved it!!! Of course you know they aren't going to be happy in their little bubble forever and it went in a direction I was happy with.

No relationship is perfect, Loo. You have to decide to accept the imperfections and realise that what matters is that you're perfect together.


I love this series. The first book gave me first crush type butterflies. The second gave me angst heart flipping emotions. And the final book was a nice progression for the couple.

If Im being honest I absolutely loved the previous two books more but needless to say this was an amazing trilogy that I will forever love and I would recommend this trilogy for everyone!x

Review: Beautifully Awake by Riley Mackenzie

4 stars




This book started off really refreshing in a hospital setting. Moody brain surgeon Doctor Chase and Lil work together at the hospital.

The writing style grabbed me. I lovedChase pre-20%. Sierra (the BFF) gave the story some light moments and I enjoyed the hospital scenes.

You're eyes still work, right? Even if your vagina's sealed shut by now


However, I thought their relationship was on fast forward, I wanted a bit more dragged out sexual tension at the beginning. Ironically towards the end I felt it could have been cut short. Also, the Dr Moody/Dr Sexy/Dr Possessive references bugged me.

This was a good start to the series and I can see potential in the series getting better. If you are looking for somethinga bit different, plenty of sexy timeand a hawt moody doctor, this would be a great choice. 

Review: Catch me by Claire Contreras

4 stars





Brooklyn has a past. She starts work at her dads company and meets record producer Nick.

They had great sexual tension for half the book which I loved. The story waswell written in that we are given bits of her past and slowly piece together what happened.

I asked you who you are. I dont give a fuck about who your parents are


Unfortunately the second half wasnt as good for me and I thought a few times some parts just dragged a little.

Overall I thought it wasn't as good as her other books but still a great standalone to pick up if you enjoysexual tension and a bit of past and present.

Review: Fighting to Forgive by J B Salsbury

5 stars



That feeling when I read a book and my heart is beating out my chest, I'm grinning like an idiot at the end anddrooling swooning over the herodoesn't come along often. Layla moves to Vegas to build a new life for herself and her daughter. Starting a new job, let us meet 'the snake' Blake:

Some women call me fine, I prefer handsome... Sexy works too, or you can call me Blake.


I was very satisfied with the pace of their relationship. Blake had a bit of a hard past, Alpha male but cheeky and protective too.

 
Layla: My eyes are up here
Blake: Not looking at your eyes


I loved how Blake changed gradually from meeting him in book 1, to seeing his player ways and finally falling in love. The prologue had me intrigued but I wish his big secret was a bit more shocking.

Layla. She was a bit weak and her jumping to conclusions I could have done without. But there was a few times I found myself patting her on the back for sticking up to herself.

You think I can't handle a few naked boobs? Hate to state the obvious Blake, but that's something I see on a daily basis


I loved this as much as the first book. It is everything I love about a book, lovely romance, great storyline, yummy hero, great side characters (loved Jonah and Blake scenes), fabulous epilogue... Love this book!

Review: Wethering the storm by Samantha Towle

4 stars



For a sequel, I actually quite liked this continuation of Jake and Tru's story.

Storyline wise there wasn't much but after an angsty first book, I think they both deserved the happy and sexy time. Some parts especially with the band mates had me giggling.

Tom: You do still have a dick in there, don't you?


One part was heartbreaking and some parts just made my heart melt and remember just how much I adore Jake from TMS.

I begin and end with you


Overall it was a sweet sexy love story, predictable storyline and a great sequel. x

Review: Ink my Heart by Jean Haus

"3 stars



Maybe I'm being a bit harsh with books nowadays but this book borderedaverage-DNF.

Justin is your average bad boy, tattoo, dimples, blonde, lead singer of a band, has regular one night stands.He walks into a tattoo parlour and meets our heroine, the tattoo artist, Allie. 

I gave this a 3 star because the characters didn't really stand out to me but we did get dual POV. Romance was nice, there was dating and texting. Storyline was average, little drama, low angst and so overall just okay!

I almost dnf this half a dozen times but I did get to the end. If you like the first book, enjoy rocker new adult it is worth a go and can be read as astandalone.

Review: Shattered Ties by K A Robinson

"3 stars



This wasn't an original storyline but I love reading young first love type books. Our heroine is Emma the rich girl and our hero is Jesse, the poor and tattooed new boy in school.

I almost DNF but the story and the characters grew on me. 

I like being tied to you. Just promise not to shatter me


Towards the end there was a glossed over storyline which I wished was in more detail. And then... A CLIFFHANGER!!! I try to avoid these as much as possible. In this case it made me mad. Mad at the storyline. Mad at Emma. Mad at Ally. Even mad at Andy!!! 

I did start to like this and if it wasn't for the cliffy I might have given this 4 stars. I think this new adult book might work for you if you like high school romance with a bit of drama. X

Review: Opal by Jennifer L Armentrout

"5 stars 



*Gasp* What a cliffy!!! Third book and I felt Katy and Daemon are in a much better place. Can't really say anything else if you've not started this series.

What did I love about this book? Loads! I love how relatable Katy feels again after not liking her so much in the last book. Love Daemon and I don't think I will ever get bored of the banter they have. 

My lips change lives, baby


Writing was amazing. Fabulous storyline that had me on the edge of my seat and then the cliffy!!! Oh boy... looks like I have to push a few books down my list to make way for Origin. One thing that I didn't like... Blake!!! 

I don't read much YA and I don't read much paranormal but this is a seriesnot to be missed x"

Review: Come Alive by Karina Halle

"5 stars




Wow wow wow and wow!!!

The 7th book in the series and it was beyond anything I expected. Told entirely from Dex POV, we are finally at a place in the series where I am happy and things sure are heating up for our favourite couple. Though, things don't go as expected when they investigate a voodoo sect.

Dex is without a doubt my all time favourite book boyfriend. He's cheeky and charming ways has me swooning and falling harder for him each time.

“I realised it didn’t mean anything without Perry by my side. She was my reason for living. She was the reason I’d come alive in the first place.”


I felt for Perry. She was being cautious and with valid reason considering their past. Still as likeable as ever, a genuinely kiss-ass heroine. 

I love this couple and I can't gush on enough about them. Really looking forward to their next book Ashes to Ashes. If you have not started this series I would highly recommend this for all!!! X"

Review: Sweet Home by Tillie Cole

"5 stars (but...)



There isn't much to say about the plot as Romeo summed it up pretty well:

I feel like we're the fucked up rated-R version of Romeo and Juliet


Romeo is an Alpha male and Molly is ageeky bookworm. The moments they had together was heart-fluttering, butterflies in my stomach, tingles in my toes. Some of the dialogue wassoo cheesy, but I loved it. 

she's the reason I fuckin' breathe


There is a big but and that is I did not like the direction of the story from about 67% onwards. Can't say anymore than that.

If you like Romeo & Juliet, with aBeautiful Disaster feel, 2 star-crossed lovers and a heart fluttering romance, I would recommend you try this out x

Review: Welcome to Sugartown by

"4 stars



Elijah Cade is the newbie in town and works for Ana's fathers automobile. There was insta love, a cute 6 year old brother, a fabulous BFF Holly andgreat steamy smut for almost half the book. And then, Elijah's past catches up on him and the story does a 180. 

...because this little thing between you is toxic and its going to tear both your lives apart


Some parts I hated and it was painful to read. I was disappointed with Elijah at one point but then I loved howprotective he was of Ana.

...wherever she is, is home to me.


A great debut that ends nicely butleaves some storylines unanswered.If you are looking for a nice-fluffy-smut turns dark-oh no-heartbreak try this out x

Review: The Edge of Always by J A Redmerski

"3 stars




We are back with Camryn and Andrew as their HEA goes through some highs and lows.

What I did love about this sequel is that no matter what problems they came across their love for each other was always so strong. Andrew is such asweet hero and I wish I had an Andrew. 

you're the world to me... I hope you never forget that


But the storyline was hard for me to swallow. As much as I love this couple, a couple times I did not like how the story was going and so tempted to DNF. This could have been a great novella.

Their HEA from the last book was perfect but If you want more Andrew, road tripsand a love that can withstand anything life throws at them, then this is a great book to pick up x

Parts that I did not like: [spoilers removed]"

Review: Rock the Beat by Michelle A Valentine

"5 stars



Love this series!!! Drummer of the Black Falcon, Trip, decides to do some investing at a track. He meets Holly, who has recently been dumped. I think Trip was written for me, he wascheeky, full of himself, flirty, dirty talking.

Thing? What are we in fifth grade? It's a cock, Holly. Call it what it is


I felt like I had a permanent grin for half the book. Even though by 10% I knew exactly where this story was going, I was kept entertained by the couples interactions and the comfort of the story.

Trip: I'd say in a week it so I'll have to keep my door bolted shut to keep you from sneaking in and having your way with me


I love this book but there are a few negatives I would like to address, the main one being it was too short AND it ended at 89%!!! Secondly, I absolutely adore Trip BUT where were the other band members? Lastly, apart from Trip being the drummer, the title Rock the Beat doesn't seem to make sense with the story.

If you like short and predictable, adirty talking rocker and a feel goodromance, this is a great one to pick up x"

Review: Cloak and Dagger by Nenia Campbell

"5 stars



I was really surprised by this one. To sum up the beginning of the story, Michael is an assassin and he is ordered to tie up some loose ends which ends up him kidnapping our heroine, Christina. 

Michael started out as captors normally do, distant, uncaring, violent, a jerk.But of course we started to see the real Michael and I love him!!!

I came back...For you


This got my 5 stars because the storyline kept my interest throughout with all the action, I was gasping a few times at the turn of events and aww I love Michael.

I'm not human enough to want something I can't have?


If you like the type of book withcaptor/captive storyline, with plenty of action and violence and a slow building romance, I would give this book a go. I will definitely be reading the next book.

Review: Isn't She Lovey by Lauren Layne

"5 stars



Two opposite people. The heroine Stephanie dresses like a Goth and looks like a troubled girl. The hero Ethan comes from a rich family and looks like a homecoming king. As well as working on their summer project together, they are faking a relationship. These two had great chemistry and the back and forth banter is one of my favourite things when reading romance.

Can you please watch where you're pointing your teeth? The glare from your caps are hurting my eyes


Add in a no insta love and loads of sexual tension, this was just... lovely!There isn't many guys POV I like but I loved Ethan's, he felt like a typical guy.

You're a uterus away from turning into a complete chick


An epilogue would have been nice, even if its only a few weeks into the future. I would pick this up if you like predictable, drama-free and heart fluttering romance Loved it! X
