Review: Broken & Brave

Broken & Brave Broken & Brave by Savana Jade
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a really sweet story of a woman, Lanie, who was in a very abusive marriage. She finds the strength to leave her husband, but has to go into hiding since he isn’t too willing to let her go. She ends up being sent to live by Jaxon. He was the best thing for her. He fell in love at first sight. He didn’t care what baggage she came with, he knew it was big but he was unaware of the extent. Lanie thought that when she told him that he would leave her. There was a lot of foreplay with these two. There was also some familial issues (mostly with Jaxon’s family) thrown in that were really interesting to find out.
The only issue that I really had with this book was the repeat of things said between Lanie and Jaxon. I get that a woman with her history would need to hear these things multiple times before she will believe it, I also understand that a battered woman will go back and forth between wanting to love again and being afraid to. While I do understand these things, I feel like it was done a little too much. Other than that I really did enjoy this book.

  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...
