Review: Savage Truth: The Grinders Book 1

Image
Savage Truth: The Grinders Book 1 by Kathleen Kelly My rating: 4 of 5 stars Kathleen Kelly was a new author for me. I was pretty impressed with this book. The bummer is that it really left me wanting to read more about Truth and what else happens with his family. I obviously found parts of his story quite sad and some disturbing (but that generally happen in the lives of drug addicts and their families). While I really did enjoy getting a full story of how Truth came to be the man that he is, I really felt like the story moved really fast, but the story also started with his mother and how his parents got together. I really enjoyed all the different POV and hearing about the things in his life from the eyes of the others that he was close to. Even with all the POV it was not at all confusing. My only problem was that I really felt like Truth's story was incomplete before she went into the lead in of the next band member's story. I will absolu...

Review: DITCHED

DITCHED by R.C. Boldt My rating: 5 of 5 stars I just KNEW I was going to love Becket's story!!!💖😍 I first met Becket as Emma Jane's male best friend in He Love Me....KNOT. I knew then that there was a lot more to him and I couldn't wait to get my hands on his story. He was just so fantastic! I totally loved him. And now I am head over heals in love with this man! Ivy is the woman that he is interested in, but she doesn't do relationships...its all about the sex with her. But we all know Becket wants more! So it is now his mission to get her into "more" with him! Some of the things that he says to her really are above and beyond swoon-worthy! I can not even begin to tell you how may times I felt my heart flutter! There was some good old fashioned unfulfilled sexual tension. (🔥more like delayed gratification🔥) There were some jaw dropping twists in the story. And I cried!!! 😭😭😭 Oh did I cry! If I could give this book mo...

Review: Gorgeous: Book Two

Image
Gorgeous: Book Two by Lisa Shelby My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was left so broken-hearted at the end of book one.... Olivia had finally opened up and let someone in .... just to be crushed! So we start out book 2 with Olivia in the midst of her misery. She makes a new friend... and then feels like she is being watched! This book has some pretty great mystery going on. Then there is the family drama! Ronan's family is drama with a capital D! So they both have some pretty messed up family issues. Do they let their pasts and family issues tear them apart? Or do they use their experiences to bring them back together? Ronan is a very serious romantic! He is probably the most sweet and romantic BBF I have read about recently. He really doesn't have a jerk bone in his body. His love for Olivia goes beyond. Eventually his sweet words rub off on her. She can spout some really pretty words of her own. I think that these 2 are just about the best couple in...

Review: Watching Her: A Dark Romance

Image
Watching Her: A Dark Romance by Angela Snyder My rating: 4 of 5 stars Great conclusion to the Keep Me series! I have loved Jackson from the very first book! I always felt like he was a very protective person. He has such a huge heart and seems to be looking out for everyone! Katya entered his world at just the right time! She was there to keep his mind on other things while Lucien and Adeline were in trouble. She also made him see something about himself that he was unwilling to acknowledge before, which then made it possible for him to recognize the real value of his feeling for Adeline before he had to be heartbroken over her marrying Lucien, as she was meant to. And Jackson now has the opportunity to have his own precious gem to take care of, and after all she has been though, Katya deserves to be taken care of by a caring and protective man. The love that blooms between the 2 lost souls is fantastic to see. They find each other when they both fee...

Review: Stockholm

Image
Stockholm by Leigh Lennon My rating: 5  of 5 stars I really enjoyed this book. I didn't read the blurb at all. I basically went in blind with only an idea of what the book would be about given the name. I was not entirely correct. You can guess by the name that it is about a woman that is taken captive and then she falls for her captor. It was not as dark as I thought it was going to be. When I was not expecting was the back story that went with it! I really loved that it came from 3 different POV, I was getting a little lost with the 3 POV and going back and forth between now and then the abduction took place. I thought it really was a great showing of how these things end up affecting the whole family, and even future members of the family. I thought it was a great book and had some really fantastic jaw dropping moments... and one HUGE bomb drop! (this had me totally wishing that there had been more in the book from David/Nolan's POV) The o...

Review: To Fall for Winter

Image
To Fall for Winter by Kelsey Kingsley My rating: 4 of 5 stars Right at the beginning Ryan was breaking my heart! 💔😭 He just seemed to be on a path that was not going to bring him to happiness! And then he met Snow! Talk about OTP!!!😍 I dont think they could have been more perfect for each other. She literally only knew him for a couple hours and she seemed to know exactly what he needed! But we cant have a story that has no issues in it! So they had a fight. And then my heart broke some more! This was a great story about 2 people who both thought that they weren't good enough for anyone, and they found each other! The insecurities on both sides play a part in their issues, so they will have to find a way to work through them together! I really enjoyed this book.... I cant wait to read more about this crazy Kinney family! View all my reviews

Review: Lost Ones

Image
Lost Ones by Nicole French My rating: 5 of 5 stars "The best moments in my life have always been with her. Right from the start." Oh the love I have for this book! 5 stars in NOT enough. I loved Bad Idea.... this book went above and beyond my expectations for it! The love that Nico and Layla share is both a blessing and a curse! Their timing was all bad! 💔😭 While Nico was trying to find himself in California, Layla was losing herself in New York. But her downward spiral was not all about Nico. Although they seem to be toxic for each other, they can't manage to stay away. It has been 16 hours since I finished reading Lost Ones and I can not let go of Layla and Nico! My heart was breaking into a million pieces. I had some very real feelings while reading this book. I felt angry at people. I wanted to cause bodily harm to a few of the characters. I honestly felt everything right a long with Layla. I can not even begin to tell you how ma...

Review: Gorgeous: Book One

Image
Gorgeous: Book One by Lisa Shelby My rating: 4 of 5 stars "I'll share my moon with you anytime" Ronan and Olivia are a super sweet couple! She didn't want to be with him. She knew that he could become too important to her. But he offered her a job and she could not refuse what he was offering. Now that he was so close to her, all he wanted was to be with her. She was set on keeping it professional. Once she finally gave in, all bets were off..... except she wanted to keep it a secret so she wasn't know as the girl that slept her way into the job. She has her reasons on why she didnt want to become emotionally attached to anyone. Ronan knew these. Through the whole story I was waiting for the other shoe to drop.... and it did..... at the very end followed by a "to be continued".... so now I can not wait until part 2 comes out!!! I felt like some one punched me in the gut! And my mind is still totally blown because, thou...

Review: Rounding Third: A Baseball Anthology

Image
Rounding Third: A Baseball Anthology by Jess Bryant My rating: 5 of 5 stars I read this in pieces! I really enjoyed this anthology! I really liked that there was a heat rating at the beginning of each story so you could choose the level of hotness you were in for. Each of the authors brought their own greatness to this book! Clutch was so great. Safe was so crazy, had me on the edge of my seat. I am always a fan of great sports romance! To have a whole group of them all in one place! It was a great way to spend the weekend. (and I really like that there was such a fantastic M/M story in there too!) View all my reviews

Review: Tap That

Image
Tap That by R.C. Boldt My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow! Callie and Reid are super hot!🔥🔥🔥 Hooking up with someone you work with is always a risky move. Especially when the object of you lust has the managerial job you want! But that sure doesn't stop Reid from getting together with Callie. That is, until he finds out that he has a shot at taking that managerial job from her. I wont get into all the details, because that would take away from your enjoyment of the book. Its an enemies-to-lovers story.... then they go back to enemies. Reid screws up really bad, but Callie was still willing to put herself out there to get the guy back.... but he just got himself in deeper and deeper. These 2 really frustrated me! But the effort that Reid finally puts into trying to win her back is just the sweetest! 😍 I really did love this story. It was a great read with some hot spots and not too much angst issues involved.... I really loved Callie and Reid! I was ...

Review: Knox

Image
Knox by Lane Hart My rating: 5 of 5 stars OMG! Knox is totally my favorite! His story was breaking my heart into a million pieces! Like I wanted to jump into the book so that I could beat the crap out of Jade.... but then I remembered that she is pregnant and I would have to wait until she had the baby..... she had redeemed herself by then! Knox always wanted a family. He basically had one with Ivan, Cain and Gabby. The he finds out that he got Jade pregnant! But just as soon as he starts to dream of this new family, it is basically ripped away because Jade doesn't think that he will ever be on the right side of the law, and not good for their baby. Right about that time Ivan and Cain both move out and move on with the women they love and are planning their lives with! So now he feels like he has no one (Like I said.... the man was breaking my heart). 😭 Eventually Jade gets her head out of her ass and sees that he really is trying to be better f...
