Review: Third Strike

Image
Third Strike by B.J. Harvey My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review 🎧 This was the greatest "best friend's sister" book I have EVER read!!! New to me author! Ok so I listened to this book in one day at work. I was pulled in because I love the narrators voice and was told that this would be a good one.... It was not a good one. It was freaking awesome. I can not even come up with a word for how great it was to me. This was the story of a man that made some really stupid mistakes, but they came from a misguided sense of loyalty. Drew was raised by his mom and had no other family. It always seemed like there was something else to kick him down. There were so many great moments in this book! I cried more times that I care to admit.... and then by the end I was full on ugly crying! I cried happy tears.... I cried sad tears.... I cried sexually frustrated tears! I cried ALL THE TEARS!!! I went into this book with no knowledge of anything in i...

Review: Dangerous Exes

Image
Dangerous Exes by Rachel Van Dyken My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review 🎧 Yep.... another great book! These books were great! Some really great moments. After his tough break in Dirty Ex's, I was really happy that Jesse was able to get some love too. There was some really sunny stuff happening with these 2. Isla and Jessie both act really childish at the beginning. But to be honest, with everything that Jesse went through with Vanessa you really can't blame him. And Isla was just reacting. I knew at the end of Dirty Ex's that they were going to be great together but that Jessie was going to have a lot to overcome to allow it to work. Vanessa did a number on him, and losing out on Blaire to his best friend had the potential to do some damage of its own. I really enjoyed their story and had a great time reading about them driving each other out of their OCD comfort zones. It was a great story. View all my reviews

Review: Dirty Exes

Image
Dirty Exes by Rachel Van Dyken My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review 🎧 Love...love....love! The 3 POV had me. I found myself wondering constantly who was Blaire going to end up with! The way that this story unfolded was completely entertaining! There were definitely some jaw dropping moments and I was all in! Blaire had me from page 1. I very much wanted her to get her HEA. I won't say which one it ended up being with, but I will say it is who I wanted her with. But as with any love triangle story I felt super bad for the guy left behind. So I am quite hoping that he gets his HEA in the next book! I loved everything about this book and I totally think that everyone should go get it now.... absolutely a MUST READ! View all my reviews

Review: Method

Image
Method by Kate Stewart My rating: 4 of 5 stars I really wanted to love this book. Everyone was going on about how great it was, and I just didn't connect with it. The story line was a good one. For me it had the potential to be a real emotional read. And it wasn't the characters, because I thought that they were pretty good too. There was a lot of time hopping in the book, and while I understand why the story may have needed to be told in that way, I think that may be why I was unable to form a connection to the characters and the story. I will say that I did shed a couple tears at the end and felt like it ended well. It wasn't a bad book. Or maybe I wasn't in the frame of mind for a book like this at the time. But I do think that, despite my personal feelings it was a good book and I can see why so many people had recommended it. The story is a very powerful one. View all my reviews

Review: Intention

Intention by Ava Harrison My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review 🎧 Wow! Just w-o-w! This story had me all kinds of emotional. Nathaniel and Madeline were just so freaking entertaining! I loved their banter through the whole story. The way that their personalities meshed together was so much fun to watch! The emotional content was off the charts awesome! I cried 5 times! 5. Different. Times!!!! I honestly think that I could have been happy reading more about them. I loved them as a couple and I loved them as a team! Totally worth 5 stars!!! View all my reviews

Review: Boyfriend Maintenance

Image
Boyfriend Maintenance by Lauren Helms My rating: 4 of 5 stars What a cute fake relationship book! Really great back story. Nice, light fun read. Perfect for between those angsty AF books. I only wanted to smack Jake one time! And I'm beginning to wonder if Sara will ever get it together (a background character that has popped up in a few of these books) View all my reviews

Review: Archer

Image
Archer by Haley Jenner My rating: 5 of 5 stars Whew!!! Ok.... now that I have cleared up the tears from my eyes I can try to write a little something! This book! KILLED. ME! I DIED! ALL THE DEADS!!! This is such an emotionally charged story! And to be honest I am sure it is one that MANY people live through. I found myself yelling at Archer so many times. He infuriated me to no end! And even when he got his **** together, he still pissed me off. Even then I was feeling like he was resentful toward Annabelle for trying to implement some self-preservation in her actions. It is a very back and forth story. And then there was a C-U-Next-Tuesday that I wanted to toss in the gutter where she belonged! UGH! I hate women like her (you will know when you meet her....she is the WORST). My emotions are still pretty raw after this story and as much as I want to jump right into Jake's story, that you get a little peek into at the end, I just don't think t...

Review: Jagger

Jagger by Dee Garcia My rating: 4 of 5 stars Short. Hot πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯. Sweet! I mean really... Who doesn't like reading about male strippers??? They are hot AF. And when they find a love.... πŸ’–πŸ˜. Jagger had me rooting for his HEA from the very beginning!!! View all my reviews

Review: Interlude

Image
Interlude by Auden Dar My rating: 5 of 5 stars The angst and turmoil is real!!! This book is the perfect example of why communication is so important! So many of the problems that were had in this story could have been avoided if only the parties would have communicated better. But where would the fun in that be? Then we would have nothing to read about! I went through so many feeling while reading this book. I yelled at my kindle a time or 2. I laughed! I wanted to throw things.... I felt my heart break so many times, and not just for Lina! My heart broke for Julian ..... and it even cracked a bit for Andrew (which was totally unexpected!) I am really glad that I FINALLY got to read this duet. It was everything I love to get out of a book.... and it even made me cry a bit. The epilogue was probably the most beautiful ending to a book that I have ever read! (I wont give it away.... but let's just say that it was not what I was expecting at all an...

Review: Risky Play

Image
Risky Play by Rachel Van Dyken My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review🎧 New to me author. Loved! I thought this was an awesome story. I love a great heroine decides to take her life into her own hands after it seems to have been destroyed. Despite her fiance leaving her at the altar she takes her life and lives it.... goes on her honeymoon. Allows herself to hook up with some one.... and then when she sees this man later on in her real world and he is a total jerk she keeps her head high and takes it with style and grace. She doesn't let any of these men get the better of her. And I totally admire that. The drama was fun. The romance was super sweet and very romantic. And the characters were lovable. I am really hoping to read a great story about Jagger getting a HEA in the near future. View all my reviews

Review: Prelude

Image
Prelude by Auden Dar My rating: 5 of 5 stars The emotional turmoil is in sane with this book! Julian Caine is just hot as can be from the very beginning! My heart spent most of the book just crying for Lina! This girl has suffered so much loss in her life that she is willing to settle for a passionless relationship just so that she isn't alone. Then comes her friend from childhood, Julian. There are some other interesting things going on with this story that I have yet to uncover. Auden had me feeling this book. I felt the loneliness, the jealousy, the pain, and then I felt the joy and happiness. It was just such a great book... and now I am totally ready to dive into book 2!!!

Review: One Wild Night

One Wild Night by Vivian Ward My rating: 5 of 5 stars Holy mother of crazy hotness! This book was off the charts sizzling! πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ This was a first read for me by Vivian Ward and I started with an awesome one! Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have your husband watch you with 2 strangers? Oh.... um ..... me neither! πŸ˜‰ But this is a great story of what could happen.... so if you wonder then you should read this book... and make sure you have your husband, boyfriend or favorite toy nearby!

Review: Rise

Image
Rise by Dylan Allen My rating: 5 of 5 stars This book I was having a really hard time deciding how to feel about Simon.... I mean he can't seem to make up his mind about Addie, but then the way that he is with his family kind of makes up for it. Their relationship is kind of back and forth for a while. Both of them seem to have a problem letting people in because of the ones that have betrayed them in the past. Once they finally start to get through all that crap is when the love begins to bloom! You just can't help but love them and cheer for them to be able to get through all the mess so they can be together. Totally love this book by Dylan Allen.... absolutely worth all 5 stars!

Review: Riding Hard

Image
Riding Hard by Lauren Landish My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review 🎧 I have found another author whom I am beginning to love!!! This is my 2nd book from her. Her men are HOT AF.... Her ladies are sassy and wonderful! And I'm not just talking about the main couples! I totally wish I could go hang out at the B&B Ranch and eat dinner made by momma Lou! Mark has got the weight of their whole lively hood on his shoulders and doesn't think he could have the wife and kids he once dreamed about. Katelyn is the new woman in town and is looking for more color in her life... She's about to find it! Her tenacity doesn't allow her to sit back and do nothing when she feels him pulling away! I love these 2. And I laughed out loud and cried both happy and sad tears! πŸ’™πŸ’™πŸ’™ View all my reviews

Buck Wild by Lauren Landish My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review 🎧 Wow! This book took me there! It was hot and sexy... made me cry all the happy tears! Just wonderful. I can't wait to get into the next one! (And I love the way he calls her darlin'!!!) View all my reviews

Review: Bad Boy Blues

Image
Bad Boy Blues by Saffron A. Kent My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love a good enemies to lovers book.... and this was a GREAT one! Zack and Cleo are just crazy together. They have each other feeling all the highs and all the lows. From the very beginning Saffron has you believing that he is not the same guy that he was before. Their first encounter when he returns was not one that made you think that he was the same bully that tormented her in school. So it makes if easy for you to love him and root for them together. I really just loved this story. I feel like their connection was a really strong one from the time they met when they were 10 ans 12. They always say its a thin line between love and hate.... Saffron emphasizes that point with this book. It was very well written and I found myself fist pumping when Cleo made a good jab at someone., and smiling like a loon when Zack would say something nice...ever if he hadn't meant it to be. Worth all the ...

Review: Spring Break Navy SEAL

Spring Break Navy SEAL by Sierra Hill My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another short, sweet and sexy test from Sierra Hill! These characters were fun to read about and easy to root for. It only to a couple hours to read so if you're looking for a quick read, this is absolutely a great pick!! View all my reviews

Review: Blue

Image
Blue by Jane Anthony My rating: 4 of 5 stars Wow! Just wow! This book had me all over the place! And the twist! Whaaaaaaaaaaat? Wyatt and Willow are a very odd couple. It is so difficult for me to write this because I am so mind blown that I am having a hard time putting it into words and not spoil anything! I will say this though..... Jane Anthony is so great at writing about tortured people. I was not able to put this book down, except at bed time. I NEEDED to know what was going to happen with them! Such a great read! Totally worth 4 stars! View all my reviews

Review: Hate Notes

Image
Hate Notes by Vi Keeland My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review 🎧 Oh man! So this was a book that I listened to. I loved it so much! It was my first experience with Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward. I have not read either of them before. This book was so unexpected! There were things that happened what I totally did not see coming at all! I loved Iris with a passion! She was so wonderful! Her meddling was just hilarious. She totally knew how to play her grandson! There were many times that this story made me laugh... made me cry.... made my jaw drop like crazy! I just thought it was a phenomenal story! I very much enjoyed listening to it. These ladies wrote a great story and I am looking forward to getting into more from them! View all my reviews

Review: Tumble

Tumble by Adriana Locke My rating: 5 of 5 stars 🎧Audio Review 🎧 This book is so dang sweet!!! And pretty freaking sexy. With a seriously swoon worthy man! 😍 I loved everything about this book! The characters are great. The secondary characters you need to read more about. The sweet home town feel of it all! :sighs: I kind of want to go live in Dogwood Lane! This was my first Adriana Locke book and now I need more!!! View all my reviews

Review: Lethal

Lethal by Cassandra Robbins My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow.... πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯.... I don't even think there is enough flames for this book! I legit need to go stick my head in the freezer!!! I am so freaking in love with Blade and Eve! Are you kidding me right now??? This book had so much greatness that I am absolutely amazed that I was able to finish it in one day.... (we won't talk about how many of my work hours were spent reading and not working). Do you ever just want to jump into a book and slap the person you are reading about? Well that happened to me today..... MANY TIMES! Despite all the crap that Eve had went through in her life she was still so open to love... and when she felt it she let it be known! That took a bravery that not many women, or even men who face down gun men, posses! I will say that I may have a bit of a girl crush. Blade was H.A.F!!! Holy hell! That man damn near set my panties on fire! A time or 2 I thought my Kindle mi...
