Review: Trick

Trick Trick by Lane Hart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this one. I really didn't like Patrick in the last book. Then I saw a warning that there was some sexual violence. I thought about maybe skipping this one, but then I decided that I would read it anyway because I usually love what Lane Hart has to write. ***THERE ARE SEMI-SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW*** (I could not think of a way to write the review without giving away a lot of the story)

Patrick (aka Trick) just won 5 fights in 5 days. So how does a single guy celebrate? Go to a club and pick up a woman for the night. He sees a lot of ladies there.... but only one got him to move his feet on over to the dance floor. Mina was there to dance the night away and forget the man that she WAS engaged to. They actually get down and dirty in the alley outside of the club. And then she couldn't get away from him fast enough.

Patrick stuck around to go meet up with his dad, who he hadn't seen in years, and attend the wedding of his stepsister. He was quite surprised to find that his stepsister was the girl he picked up at the club! And she was in fact back together with her fiance and still planning to get married. Not if he has anything to say about it.

The family dynamic in this story is completely dysfunctional. Patrick's dad (Mike) is still a jerk who doesn't pay him children much attention. He practically ignores them all, except Mina. Although she wishes he ignored her too. She is using her fiance as a way to escape the abuse that she has been enduring for years! Despite the fact that Patrick is his son, she feels safe with him, like he will protect her from the abuse his dad inflicts on her.

Patrick totally redeemed himself in my eyes in this book. He is most definitely the exact kind of hero you want to read about. He is passionate, caring, protective and has a hero complex so he is always compelled to save the day! With Patrick's help, Mina finds her strength. The sexual violence was a key point in the story. And while you would think that it would turn people off, it was written in way that had you feeling the despair of Mina and wanting to personally rip Mike to shreds. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS ONE!

  Timeless by Kaylene Winter          4.75 🌟  4 🔥 Absolutely LOVE this series!! And I am not sure if I am ready for the Encore books yet..... but I will get into them soon! This is a childhood friends to lovers story that spans decades. Both Fiona and Zane have a lot of family issues to sort through on their own and they have always been a huge support for each other.... the one thing that was always solid. Until her mom took her away claiming that Zane was going to be just like his father. These 2 go through so much to be together that I was feeling gutted through out the entire book! And I was constantly getting mad at the different obstacles that kept blocking them from their happily ever after! And when they are together..... they are HOT 🔥🔥🔥. The only thing that I was unhappy about with this book was ..... DAMMIT! When can we find out if Carter and Lianne get back together FOR GOOD?!?!?

                                                                               Stealing Heats by Lex Martin     4.25🌟 4🔥      This book was JUST what I needed!  It was hot, fast-paced, a bit of suspense, and a woman-you-love-to-hate!  Brother's best friend, but with the added angst that the brother died Rhett wants to save his family's ranch and the only way he can get a loan is to be married.  Paige needs to rehab an injury, but has no insurance to do it.  So win/win.  And then they go and let feelings get involved.  But with the way that Paige seamlessly fits right into his family with all his brothers, there was no way that feelings wouldn't come about.... not to mention the history and Paige's ch...

  Promise Me Not by Meagan Brandy          5🌟 2🔥 Definitely worth the wait! This was a SUPER SLOW BURN book! So if you are looking for spice, it isn't here!  But if you are looking for a heart felt, gut wrenching tale of love lost, then found again.... you are in the right place!  Mason was such a hot AF super alpha and was ready to take charge right away.  He knew he wanted it all and he wanted it with Payton!  Chase was sticking his meddling nose in where it didn't belong (AGAIN) and I was ready to figure out how to jump into the book just to punch him in the face!  But then look at him trying to redeem himself!  We shall see!  This story must have been a tough one for Meagan to tell.... they guilt and pain that Payton feels through out the whole book, over EVERYTHING and EVERYONE that she really has contact with.  But most of all the guilt about Deaton (the decease father of her son), Little D(eaton) and Mason. I...
