Debt Inheritance (Indebted, #1)Debt Inheritance by Pepper Winters
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 dark stars!!!

This one was recommendation of Sivy, she said “hope you like dark romances” and truly I'm not so much into them, I mean, I have a lot of those on my to read list, but it takes more time for me to finally decide to actually read it. So I read the blurb, saw the cover and completely imagine how this dark hero would be, so I jumped to read it and have to say, excellent recommendation Sivy, Thanks!

Nila Weaver is a fashion designer, sheltered all her life by her father and her brother, she’s shy and inexperienced in the men department, so when her father practically pushes her into the arms of the hot stranger who she assumes is an admirer of her work, she accepts the invitation immediately… little she knows that the stranger has a hidden agenda and his father knew it…

“I hated being lied to.
I hated even more believing those lies until the truth decided to come for me.
Turned out, I was never an individual; I was a possession to trade.
I was never unique; someone had lived my life many times before, never free, never whole.
My life was never mine.
My destiny was already written.
My story began the night he came for me.”


So the stranger?... yes, he is Jethro Hawk, a sexy man with a dark edge…

“I was a hunter. Skilled with both bow and arrow and gun. I stalked the weaker and slit their throats when they succumbed to my careful aim.
But sometimes I liked to... miss. I liked to give them a small window of safety, all while closing the noose when they didn't expect it.
I liked to play with my food.”


And well, as the title mentions, he inherited Nila, to do with her as he pleases, and he does, he likes toying with her, he wants to destroy her, break her, and he really enjoys it.

“Destroying my dress wasn’t enough? You had to steal my past too?” I held up a photograph of a half-naked Jethro holding my chin as he kissed me. That wasn’t based on my dateless life, but it was so lifelike, so true, so incontestable.
How did they make it so realistic?
Jethro shook his head, rolling his eyes. Locking his bike, he pocketed the keys before turning to face me. Dropping to his hunches in front, he whispered, “I not only stole your past. I’ve already stolen your future.”


Like I said, I’m not so into dark romances, but I started with this one and couldn’t put it down, the situations Nila was subject to where hard to read at some point but I kept reading to see how the things evolved…

The writing is so good, I like books told by dual POV because you get to undertsand the characters better, the only thing is there was not so much explanation about the reason of the debt, only that was something agreed byt the ancestors of both families, but I suppose we'll read it in the next book. It ends with a cliffhanger, but it didn’t left me with the feeling of being annoyed and desperate to read the next one, I mean I definitely want to read the next book, but I’ll wait patiently for it! :D

Her Forbidden Hero (The Hero, #1)Her Forbidden Hero by Laura Kaye
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 broken hero stars

This is a sweet love story of two persons who are meant to be together, but need to learn how to fight their demons and insecurities, to trust in each other, in order to be together.

We have Marco Vieri, a war hero who has so many demons and feels so broken that he doesn't believe he deserves happiness, so when Alyssa Scott returns home after college and he start to have feelings for his best friend sister, a girl he used to protect from her drunk father, he feels the need to protect her even from himself.

All at once, he saw her through new eyes. And what he saw very particularly wasn’t a little girl. Not anymore. She might’ve been small in stature, but between the long chocolate waves of her hair, the way her V-neck shirt shaped over her breasts, and how those damn jeans hugged her, there was no safe place to look and not think woman. And it was a short trip from that thought to wondering how she would feel under his hands, in his arms. He was a man, after all. A man who had been without the pleasure of a woman these long months while he fought tooth and nail to get back to a shadow of his old self. But the beautiful girl, er, woman standing before him wasn't just any woman. She was his best friend’s little sister. Strictly off-limits. That was guy code 101.

Alyssa has been in love with Marco since she can remember, and she tries very hard to show him she’s not longer the little girl who needed protection, she’s a grown woman and is determined to get him to see her with different eyes, but she doesn’t know everything Marco lived in the war, so she doesn’t understand his situation and he’s determined to not ask for help or let her or anybody see how broken he is.

Alyssa nuzzled into his back and pressed a kiss against his shoulder. He sucked in a breath, his erection punching against the fly of his jeans again. But it wouldn’t just be sex. Not with her. The ache in his chest and the constriction in his throat, that was about the part of him that wanted to comfort her and be comforted in return, that wanted companionship and a place to belong. It would be about lo— He shook his head, clamping down on the tail end of that thought. Without question, Alyssa would give him everything he wanted and more, but what he wanted was just a bunch of fantasy bullshit for someone like him. It killed him to do so, but he twisted free of her arms and forced himself to face her. Frustration and regret weighed on his shoulders like an anvil. “This”—he waved his finger back and forth between them and swallowed down a river of sadness—“this right here. This can’t happen."

Both have problems, different kind of problems, but they’re both stubborn and try to solve their problems without asking for help. What they can deny is the growing attraction between them, Aly knows is not a teenager crush anymore and Marco knows the feeling he has for Aly is not a case of having the hots for his best friend sister, so they have some moments of weakness.

Alyssa inhaled and tilted her head to the side, inviting his exploration. He couldn't resist. He licked and kissed up her neck until he reached the soft indentation beneath her ear. He sucked at her there until she was panting in his arms

Beautiful story, a lot of heartbreak in the story, but with a sweet ending. It’s written in dual POV, so we get to be in Marco’s head and understand better his problems. Totally recommend it.

Under LockeUnder Locke by Mariana Zapata
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 frigging stars!!!



"I can't ignore this shit between us anymore, and I'm not gonna. Not when it makes so much sense"



Iris is a nice, quiet person, she didn't had a normal childhood. After his dad, a former member of the Widowmakers MC left her family, she and her mom got sick. After her mom died, Iris had to take care her little brother Will.



After losing her job and being nearly bankrupt, Iris moves to Austin, TX to live with her half brother Sonny, who is part of the Widowers MC. Sonny gets Iris a job at Pins and Needles, a tattoo parlor, not really her dream job, but she is really trying to see the bright side. The only thing Iris didn't consider was Dexter Locke, her rude new boss with a very short temper, member of the Widowmakers MC and hot and sexy as hell....



"His broad shoulders and thickly veined forearms were more than enough to make a girl stare. Because his face... Jesus, shit. Jesus. Shit.



I was going to ask Santa for his good identical twin for Christmas"




Iris hear him talking bad of her on the phone, so Iris decides she's going to do her work and give him the cold shoulder treatment (her calling him "The Dick" in her head was funny). Things get dangerous for Iris because of some stuff her father did so she ends up stuck with Dex as protector while things cool down. Their relationship evolves and she see a different side of Dex....



Dex's fingers extended to where the palm covered all of the back of my neck and his fingers wrapped around most of my throat. "My ma used to tell me you have to fight through some shitty ass days to get to the best days of your life. So I’m tellin’ you now, that you gotta hang in there. I swear to you, after this shit is over, you’re not gonna have to worry about him ever again.” His thumb dug deep into my flesh.



I made a noise that sounded like I was dying. “Oh Dex.”



“Babe, you’re the sweetest little girl I’ve ever met. You deserve better than this broken heart bullshit.” His fingers kneaded the muscles on my neck. “If I ever see that beautiful face cryin again
over somethin’ that worthless sack of shit did, I’m gonna make your daddy regret ever meetin’ your ma, you got it?”




Of course, things gets more serious between them and you can imagine the combination of short tempered and jelous Dex...



“Baby, there’s nothing wrong with my judgment. I know exactly what I’m doin’, and I know damn well that if I ever see you smile at somebody like you did at Trey today, I’ll kill the poor bastard.”

“Dex!”

“I’m not jokin’. I don’t ever wanna see that shit ever again so unless you want me goin’ to jail for murderin’ somebody, quit it,” he stated, not blinking, not breathing, totally focused."




A lot of sexy as hell scenes in there too!...



"He bit down again before nuzzling the line of my jaw. "You're mine." His lower body pressed into my stomach. Hard, he was so hard. "Your mouth, your face, your ass, your pussy, Ritz. You're all mine."



All the book is written in Iris POV, it's fun to be in her head, sometimes sad when she remember her life as a teen, but her silly "that's what she said" jokes were fun... Seriously this book had me since the first word. It's a long book, very detailed, but not in a boring way.



So, in this book we have a hot biker with a short temper and super possessive of his lady, a super fun and likable heroine who likes to give a piece of her mind to a super hot alpha... what's not to LOVE!

Unfortunately there's no news for a second book of this author, I was really hoping to read Sonny's or Trip's story!

The Seduction 2 (The Seduction, #2)The Seduction 2 by Roxy Sloane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

book 2

4.5 'cause I love Vaughn's dirty mouth stars!!!

This book continues where the first one left off, Keely is running from Vaughn, there's a turn of events for Keely, one that involves one of the clients at the Law firm she works, the danger is still looming, but Keely doesn't know and Vaughn have still no idea who hired him to seduce Keely.

The chemistry between them is impossible to deny, Keely has a very hard time denying this and Vaughn is still trying to dominate her.... and still Vaughn's dirty mouth is present...

"You want my cock driving deep inside you," Vaughn growls, circling swiftly, driving me higher. "You want every fucking inch of it, al the way to the hilt. I'll bend you over, and fuck you right here against the wall until you're screaming out of your goddamn mind. The neighbors will call the cops, you're so loud" he continues, holding my gaze, rubbing me faster. "But you won't care, will you? Because it feels so good. They'll find you on your knees, with my cock buried down your throat, but you won't stop sucking me, you won't break position, until I say because I'm. Not. Done. With. You. Yet"

Things start to change, the way Vaughn sees Keely scares him, so he tries to avoid her.

At the end we have another cliffhanger!... I didn't like this, but still is a great series!.

The Seduction 1 (The Seduction, #1)The Seduction 1 by Roxy Sloane
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 mind blowing stars!

What caught my attention of this book?, first, it was a freebie, then I was attracted to the cover (who doesn't like a sexy cover, right?), then I went and read the blurb and I was game!. A sexy hero who seduces women for a living, a sweet and shy girl who denies to get involved with the beautiful, dark stranger with the very dirty mouth... I shudder (in a good way) every time I he tells something dirty to her, trying to dominate her... since their first encounter.

"Be careful." The man winks again. "Or next time, you'll wind up on your hands and knees." He leans in to whisper, just for me. "Exactly where you belong".

And these were the most sweet words spoken in the whole book, imagine the wicked things that come out of Vaughn's mouth! *blushing*

But of course, there's a hidden agenda, he was hired to seduce her and show proof of that, by whom? well, that's the mystery and we don't get to read it in this book.

There's a lot of sexy scenes and mystery to keep you reading until the end, and it's a very short and easy read, the only bad part is, it ends with a cliffhanger!. I can't wait to read the next part and it's only .98 cents at Amazon.

Crash (Crash, #1)Crash by Nicole Williams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 TOTALLY JUDE STARS!!!

This was my second time reading this book and I want to reaffirm that the best part of this book is Jude Ryder, unequivocally. To me, Lucy was a little bit annoying, so I’m not writing a review; I’m going to quote my favorite Jude moments, I think that’ll be the best way to encourage readers to five this book a chance…

First, one of his not so good moments, but still, it’s important to understand the depth of my crush on Jude…

“The name’s Jude Ryder, since I know you’re all but salivating like a rabid dog to know, and I don’t do girlfriends, relationships, flowers, or regular phone calls. If that works for you, I think we could work out something special.”

See?... not his best moment, but then his life hasn't been the best, but still turns out to he can be completely different with Luce…

“It’s not hard to recognise something special when life’s thrown a lotta shit your way”

*sigh*

“How does a guy like you promise someone forever at eighteen?”

“Easy,” he said, pressing a soft kiss into the corner of my mouth. “He finds a girl like you.”


*** Jeez Jude you’re killing me***

“Because I know I will never love anyone like I love you. That’s what will overcome the past every time it tries to rear its ugly head.” He stepped closer. “So it’s either you and me or me and me, Luce. And I don’t really like myself, so I hope you’ll pick the you and me option.”

***I’ll pick you!!!*** <--- sorry, but like I said, I have a big case of Jude crush

“Jude," I said, biting my lip. "I just can't. I can't do this."
His expression darkened. "I know I don't deserve a second, or third, or whatever the hell this is chance, but you and I have something special, Luce, and you know it. Give me another chance, one more chance, and I'll walk a line so straight people will think I've been possessed." God I wanted to look away from those eyes, but I just couldn't. They were impossible to ignore. "One more chance. Not because I deserve it, but because we deserve one.”


And I can go on and on, but the important thing is, if you like books with a bad boy that turns out to be very sweet and protective of his lady, with a lot of angst and a sweet ending, well this is a great option, AND, this is just book one, you can read a lot more of Jude and Lucy in the next 2 books.

Heart on a ChainHeart on a Chain by Cindy C. Bennett


4 heart wrenching stars

“That doesn’t sound quite right to me—what choice did I have but to survive?”

I had this book on my to read list like forever and finally took the time to read it. Well, with this book I’ve experienced sadness, anger, hope and happiness… it’s a real emotional roller coaster. It reminded me a lot to the feeling I had while reading Reason to Breathe by Rebecca Donovan.

Kate is a 17 years old girl that has been suffering abuse at home, physical and emotional, since she was 9 years old. Her father is an alcoholic and her mother has a very strong pill dependency, so her home life hasn’t been the best, ‘cause apart from the abuse, her family is poor. Unfortunately the abuse doesn’t end at home, since she is bullied at school by her classmates.

She had a friend at school, Henry, who had feelings for Kate but moved out of town when she was 11 years old, but Henry is back for his senior year and finds a very different Kate, shy, closed off and hiding in the corners to avoid contact with her schoolmates. She even eat her lunch sitting in the corner floor at the cafeteria!.

Henry tries to approach her, to be her friend again, but she doesn’t understand why he’s trying so hard to be her friend if this could be a social suicide for him. But well, Henry does have something in mind, because he’s been in love with her since she was 11 years, so he tries to save her, even not knowing all the abuse she suffers at home.

“Kate, I’ve loved you for years. I mean, I know twelve-year-olds don’t know what love is, so I guess I should say I’ve really liked you for years. But when I saw you this year, I knew. I knew we should be together. I just didn’t know how hard you were going to make me work to get you to even like me. So, yeah, of course I want you to love me back.”

The story is sad and beautiful at the same time, the beautiful parts are all related with Henry and his family, Henry tries to teach Kate how to live without fear at school, how to stand up for herself, even by protecting her and be her knight in shining armor. Honestly the abuse parts were difficult to read, I mean how can people be this way? How can they torture someone just for fun?, unfortunately, as many can say is unbelievable that a person can suffer this much abuse at home or at school, it really can happen, and sometimes reality is even worse.

The end was sweet, but I wanted to have more details of their future together, you know have a glimpse at their HEA, but it was good.

Overall a great reading, but you need to be prepared for the emotional roller coaster!.

All that he wants (The billionaire's seduction Part I)

4.5 sexy arrogant stars!!!

This is a short story, part of a series, so there's not and ends to the story, not a cliffhanger either, it's the introduction to the story of Lilly, a woman who works as assistant in a consulting firm in LA, and Connor, a hot and sexy stranger who arrives to her office, on a Friday night, making some demands to her jackass boos.  She thinks she's handsome and super sexy, but way out of his league, besides he's cocky and arrogant.

Suddenly things escalate and they move to more suitable activities for a Friday night...

You feel that?” he growledso low it was a whisper, the tickle of air on my skin exciting me even more. I nodded silently, because I couldn’t speak. I didn’t trust myself – I was afraid if I tried to answer, I might start moaning again. Continuously and loudly. “YOU do that to me,” he breathed. “YOU make me hard like that".

The writing style is so good, I really enjoyed Lilly's funny monologues and her movies references.

Wild Man (Dream Man series book 2) by Kristen Ashley

4.5 WILD AND SWEET STARS!!!

Well, what can I say, since I first read The Gambler I became a Kristen Ashley's fan and her books don't dissappoint, so here again I just finished reading Wild Man and I again have to say it was great!...

We met Brock Lucas on Mistery Man, he was the DEA agent working undercover when Gwen was abducted, and now we see him as he really is, showing his true wild colors and as any good alpha male in KA's book  what you find is fan-fucking-tastic, he's a tough guy but takes care of his family and his sons, good through and through.

Then we have Tessa O'hara, who owns a bakery and as her jobline indicate, she's a sweet person to the core, a survivor to his ex husband's abusive actions, so she wasn't looking for a relationship until hot guy, meaning Brock entered her bakery.  Their interaction is great, you have super tough guy, with shy girl, you must think he walks all over her, but as the story develops she shows her attitude and it's fun to read.

Are you angry with me?” 
No,” he bit off. “I  was angry with you, seeinas I fucked my woman for the first fuckin’  time, she made me a promise when my cum was still inside her and then just hours later she reneged on that promise. Now I’m herecause there’s a goddamned for sale sign planted in your front lawn and I walk in here and see you lookinlike this so, gotta say, babe, I’m not angry. I’m fuckin’  pissed. ”

Add drama, meaning the exes trying to get attention, a loud and crazy loving family, the girls posse, including the crazy Elvira, who we also met on Mistery Man, and you get a great book.  The only reason why I gave it 4.5 stars was because I felt something was missing at the end, in the Epilogue, but then again, that's just me, maybe you'll find differet, but give it a try.

The Unwanted Wife (Unwanted, #1)The Unwanted Wife by Natasha Anders
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 painfully amazing stars!

This book is seriously amazing, painfully so, since I was crying like a baby while reading it, from beginning to end!.

I found this one in the recommendation section and the blurb got my attention but it was all the good reviews why I decided to jump and read it and I was seriously not disappointed AT.ALL!

The story is about a Theresa, a woman who married Alessandro de Lucci, believing she would be happy with the love of her life. Alessandro de Lucci doesn't like to be told what to do, and since he was told to marry Theresa, he's not happy with it and treat her poorly. After 18 months of marriage and being treated like a doormat, Theresa wants a divorce, but Sandro doesn´t, unless she gives him a child.

During the few chapters I was hating Sandro so much that I didn¿t think it could be possible to change my mind about him, but as the story progress you start to understand that both, Theresa and Sandro, where victims of her father manipulative scheme to get something he wants.

Finally, things starts to straighten and she starts to see her her in a different way, but she's skeptical and always asking why is he showing interest in her, what his motives are.

“All the air suddenly seemed to leave his sails and his shoulders sagged as he dropped to his knees in front of her,bringing his eyes down to the same level as hers."I want to be here with you. Why is that so hard for you to understand?”

REALLY?... I still don't understand how he was so stupid some times, I mean after all the humiliations? but well, he was trying hard anyway so a few points to him.

The story is so heartfelt, I really loved it and recommend it, if you are in the correct frame of mind to cry a little bit!.

Until Nico (Until, #4)Until Nico by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 HOT AND FANTASTIC MAYSON STARS!

Yes, the Mayson brothers are back and this time we get a full view of Nico, in my opinion, the most complicated of the four, but still hot, hot, hot!

If you’ve read the first 3 books in the series, then you know everything about the BOOM, right?... well now even Nico, the one who didn’t believe in that story about the Mayson men falling deeply in love at first sight changes his opinion when he meets Sophie, a shy and sweet librarian who doesn’t date because she has some issues with men in general.

Despite his effort to convince her to go out with him, Sophie keeps saying no, ‘cause is overwhelmed with Nico’s attention and she’s not sure she wants to pursuit what’s clearly growing between them.

“I don’t think it’s fair to explore this thing with him when I’m not even sure who I really am. His eyes meet mine, and he shakes his head.
“I don’t know what’s going on in that pretty little head of yours, but know this—you run and I will find you.”


Of course, he’s a Mayson!... so really Sophie has no much choice but to go with the flow, since Nico will take a no for an answer.

“Why do I feel like I just got screwed?”
“Baby, when you get screwed, you’ll know it,” I smirk.


Oh and the Mayson sweet possessive charm shows immediately!.

“I don’t know how I’m going to be able to cope knowing that men are looking at you when you’re out. I don’t even want to think about the times I’m out of town, leaving you alone.”
“Men don’t look at me.” I scrunch up my eyebrows and shake my head.
“Fuck yes, they do! You just don’t notice, and they’re too chickenshit to talk to you. No man wants to give a woman the power to crush his ego, and baby, I hate to tell you this, because I like that you don’t realize how beautiful you are, but you are the kind of woman that could make a man feel like he has it all or make him feel like he has absolutely nothing.”


But not all things sweetness, since there’s someone lurking in the shadows putting in danger their relationship, so the suspense factor makes of this book a better reading.

The author follows the same formula as in the other books in the series, a sexy and possessive alpha, a cool and fun heroine, a lot of sexy and hot scenes, some funny moments, and a bit of suspense, so if you liked the previous, then you’ll enjoy this one too.

But really the best part of the book is the EPILOGUE, as always is super fun to watch them deal with their kids, but deal with their grown up kids is even better!

Leonardo (The Santinis, #1)Leonardo by Melissa Schroeder
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 hot Santini stars!

I liked this one a lot. It’s well written, fast paced and the characters are likable, AND there’s a bunch of hot military men, hell yeah!. First there’s Leonardo Santini, the hero of the story who serves in the army teaching medicine. He’s hot, alpha and totally sweet too, oh and he has 4 brothers who also serve on the army, in different areas and we get to see a bit of them… well actually just one of them, Vincente, but their interaction reminded me a lot of the Mayson brothers from the Until Series…

”Leo looked at his brother. “Go away”.
“So rude. Mom’s not going to like that when I tell her”. He smiled at her. “I’m her favorite”. Then he walked away. No, sauntered away. That was the only way she could describe that walk.
“He is not mom’s favorite”.


Then there’s Maryanne, the heroine, a physical therapist who serves in an army hospital too, since all her brothers and father are in the military too, we see a bit of their interaction too and it was totally fun…

"He knocked on the door. He heard some rustling and then the door opened wide. It wasn’t Maryanne. It was a man, as tall as him, with dark hair and a rather pissy look on his face. He had apparently been sleeping.
“What?”
“Jackson Michael Johnson, is that the way you greet someone at the door?” Maryanne asked from behind the man. Of course, he could only hear her. He couldn’t see her with the massive roadblock in the door.
“I was sleeping, MJ” He saw a hand reach up and smack the man on the back of the head.
“Damn, MJ, do you have to hit so hard?” He stepped aside.
“Do you always cry like a little girl?” she asked.”


When Leo and Maryanne meet, he doesn’t like her so much ‘cause she’s though with her patients, but everything is just a cover up, she really is a very thoughtful person but being the little one in a household full of military guys, she learned to hide her soft side. She’s not very used to guys treating her kindly or trying to romance her, so when Leo acts like this, she’s pleasantly surprised and scared, since she knows it will be easy to fall in love with him and she’s scared he will break her heart…

“Maryanne?” She looked at him and blinked.
“You never call me MJ.” Not really a question, just a statement of fact.
“Yeah. You aren’t MJ to me. You’re Maryanne.”
She studied him for a second then her gaze softened. A lump rose in his throat that turned out difficult to swallow. She leaned forward to brush her mouth over his, not closing her eyes the entire time.
“What was that for?” he asked when she finally pulled back.
“For seeing me differently than anyone else does.”


A wonderful story to read with sweet and hot moments, and the glimpse of the second book, Marco’s story, looks promising!.

GatorGator by Bijou Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 intense stars!!!

See, the first thing I need to say about this book is, this is not a typical romance novel, it can'tbe with the 2 principal characters being as damaged as they are, but I did like it. Why?... well, I'm a junkie for books where there's two people figthing to have a chance, to find a happy ending, against all odds, and this book fits the description perfectly.

The principal characters live in a world full of darkness, Gator is a contract killer with a very troubled past, and Mia, she's and abused child, her parents were trash and use her for their own benefits. She's part of his next target, but when he sees her through her rifle scope, he sees something in her and he wants to keep her with him. He soon realizes that she's not a normal girl, she's a bit slow understanding things, but he wants her still, even more because he wants to protrect her.

In Mia's eyes, he's her savior, her protector and her chance at happiness, she's used to people use her and tell her what to do, but Gator, Jake for her, is different in her eyes, not the troubled man, not a killer, he's her light. She'll do anything to keep him with her.

Cradling Mia's face in my hands, I whisper, "Did you forget who you are?"
The fear and pain her eyes rip me until I want to rip Vic limb from limb. She nods while tugging gently at my shirt.
"What do they call me?" I ask.
"Gator."
"Does a man like me share his woman?"
Mia shakes her head. "I'm yours."
"Yes."
"I'm sorry I forgot".


This story may not be sweet or funny, but like I said, it's intense, full of hope and with two people looking for a chance to be happy, to find redemption and they will fight anything to get it.

With a few grammar mistakes, but if you look past those, it's absolutely worth it!

Last Chance (Rock Romance #2)Last Chance by A.L. Wood
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 stars

Unfortunately, this book was not what I was expecting. I thought we'll read more of Natalie and Steele, but instead most part is written in Liam's or Layla's POV, although the book is still focused in their relationship.

There's a lot of dramatic and intense inner dialogues from the characters, but at some point I felt nothing really happened, and some of the things didn't feel realistic (view spoiler)

There's actually not so many steamy or sexy scenes, but there's a HEA and that part I did like it!

4 rocking stars!

I added this one long time ago and I never had the chance to read it, I guess it got lost among all the other books on my TO READ list, but then I got it for free at Amazon and read it AND I liked it very very much. Maybe I was craving some drama, and this was exactly was I was looking for.

The story goes like this; Natalie is a girl who seems like what people call an "uppity bitch" (Steele's words not mine), she seems unapproachable from the outside, but everything is a facade, she's actually very broken on the inside. She lost her parents a few years back and what she's trying to do is go through life without forming any bond that may cause her pain, so she remains unattached, except for her best friend Layla.

Then we have Ryan "Steele", the lead singer in "Steele's Army" a very famous rock band. Steele's life wasn't easy either so he's enjoys a lot his rock star lifestyle.

When they meet, he's offended by her tough exterior, basically with the fact that she seems unaffected by the band fame. He wants to break her, she tries to be strong and shows no weakness to him.

Basically that's the story, but add steamy scenes, great characters and you have an great reading time!

My favorite character was Liam, Ryan's best friend who apparently understands Natalie better that even Ryan. I'm sure there's an interesting story behind.

The worst part was the freaking cliffhanger at the end, so I'm reading the next part immediately!

Promise Me, Cowboy (Copper Mountain Rodeo, #3)Promise Me, Cowboy by C.J. Carmichael
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 sweet and promising stars

Sage Carrington was a horse barrel racer when met bull rider and hottie Dawson O’Dell. They had a thing that unfortunately ended with Dawson’s wife caught them in the act. Sage was heartbroken and hated Dawson for lying about his married status. Sage had an accident the next day and decides to leave the rodeo life behind and go back to Marietta, Montana with her family.

Five years later Dawson shows up in Marietta to participate in the Copper Mountain Rodeo, with a daughter and he is determined to gain Sage’s trust and love back.

“Just so you know what you’re missing” And then he reached for her, pulling her close, putting a hand under her chin and kissing her in a very rough and meaningful way.”

The story is short, sweet and simple to read, there’s not many complications in their relationship, although, in most part of the book there was no real relationship between them. I think I missed more interaction between Sage and Dawson, ok more like physical interaction, but definitely a good book, like when you put a piece of meat to cook on a crock pot, it will cook slowly but in the end it’ll be tenderly good. Yeah, that was my feeling with this book.

Until Lilly (Until, #3)Until Lilly by Aurora Rose Reynolds
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 I.SIMPLY.LOVED.IT! stars

“Why can’t I hate you?” Her words are quiet, and I can hardly make them out. I whisper into her ear before kissing her under it, “Because I am your one, too.” *sigh*

I was expecting this book since I read the preview of Lilly and Cash's relationship at the end of Until Trevor, so when I knew this was out I had to jump and read it. The story was exactly what I was expecting, so not much of a surprise in there, but I enjoyed so much that my husband kept throwing pillows at me so I stop laughing... ok not my problem that he decided to fall sleep while I read the funniest scene in the book!!!

So in this book, we have the same elements that in the previous books, a super HOT dominant alpha, a funny, strong and sweet heroine and a bunch of hot, super sexy scenes and of course there's more in the story line, not a simple romantic story.

If you've read Until November and Until Trevor you must be aware that the Mayson brothers fall in love of THE ONE fast and hard, and Cash is not the exception, he fell in love with Lilly but the couldn't be together because Cash had to do what he thought was the right thing, but when they find each other again they can't deny their feelings, even though Lilly is not reluctant.

I hated what Lilly has to went through, but I loved the results, their relationship was stronger than ever. I simply enjoyed every detail of this book. The end was a little bit of a shock for me, I mean I knew that twat Jules was crazy but not that much.

Anyway, there's a bunch of sweet moments, specially with the kids...

“Daddy said that it’s my job as your big brother to take care of you.”
“Well, if Mommy and Daddy have another baby,” I feel Cash’s hands squeeze me, “I will be bigger than them,” she says, and I can see her putting her hands on her hips like a total diva.
“I will still be bigger.” He sighs like he is annoyed, making me giggle.


funny moments...

“I don’t know what that is. I don’t have Facebook.”
“You don’t have Facebook?” I gasp. “How in the world do you know what’s going on with your friends if you don’t have Facebook?”
“I call them and say ‘hey, what’s going on? How are things? Anything new?’”
“Oh, yeah, I guess you could do that.” He squeezes my hand and chuckles. ”


and SUPER hot moments...

“You always say that. ‘I’m going to be pissed.’ When was the last time you were pissed?” I ask. His head tilts, studying me.
“I don’t know. A while, why? You trying to piss me off?”
“What? No!” I squeal as he leans in, pressing me to the wall behind me.
“You have a perfect ass, babe.”
“What?” I breathe, feeling goose bumps form across my skin.
“I can’t wait to get my hands on it and turn it red, so please, try to piss me off. It will just get me what I want faster.” I feel moisture flood between my thighs at his comment. I have never been spanked, and I don’t understand why that turns me on, but it does.


but my favorite part of the book is when Cash meets Lilly's parents through Skype, that was simply hilarious!

Do I recommend this book?... HELL YEAH!...LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT!

Her Boss The AlphaHer Boss The Alpha by K.S. Martin
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


3 - 3.5 ALPHA STARS

Ok, where to start with this one. To be totally honest I'm not a big fan o paranormal books, I mean, aside of the Twilight series I don't have much experience in the genre, so I tried to read this one with an open mind. So why I decided to read this one?... well the first two things that caught my attention were the title and the cover, yep I was like "Alpha AND Boss in the title?, PLUS a hot cover?, COUNT ME IN!"... YES, I have to admit, I'm a hot cover whore *blush*... after that I read the description and I was like "mmm paranormal?" and the I saw that it was a short read so I was like "Let's do this!"

So Jake, The Alpha, is Lauren's boss, she's been working for him for a year, she's a hard worker and basically has no life. He's a businessman AND a werewolf, and of course he wants to claim her as his. Ok being honest, I LOVE this concept of claim her, so I was enjoying the book so far. Back to the story, she feels him watching her every time, making her uncomfortable.

“What is that guy’s problem?” She muttered to herself. “Why is he always staring, leering even at me?”

She ends up stuck with him due to a situation with her car and he ask her to join him for diner as a payment for his help, and basically the dialogue between them gets pretty intense.

“Let me feed you and when we finish, if you want to, I’ll take care of your other needs.”

WHAT?! At this point I was thinking "This is going to be the fastest mating I've heard about", but again, I have not so much experience in this genre, so I reminded myself to keep an open mind.

THEN we get to the juicy part (no pun intended) the sex scenes, which are SUPER HOT!... I mean no wonder he is an Alpha, because he is plain hot and domineering.

He pushed her thighs apart and kissed the soft flesh of her inner thighs, she watched him down the length of her body, her fingers knotted in the sheet beneath her. “I want to taste you, I’ve wanted to taste you since the Moment I first saw you.” His blue eyes were intent on hers as his tongue worked slowly from the well of her vagina up to the sensitive bundle of nerves. Lauren nearly came off the bed.

The story develops and it gets interesting when Lauren is caught up in his world, given a different sense to the story, and that's all the details I'm going to share of this one, but overall it's an enjoyable, sexy reading.

Kaleidoscope (Colorado Mountain, #6)Kaleidoscope by Kristen Ashley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

***5 beautiful stars***

"You think you lost beauty, but you didn’t. Just turn the dial."

Oh Kristen Ashley, you did it again!... I have to admit I had some doubts since the previous book was not my favorite, but no, this is another great book in the series!

Jacob Decker is a genius, hot, sexy and handsome PI, for years he's been hung up on his ex, and because of that he cut ties with Emmanuelle Holmes 9 years ago, his ex's best friend who had an special bond with Jacob. They reconnect when Deck goes to Gnaw Bone and finds Emme on the street, but she's not the same Emme she used to be, she's different and he finds himself not wanting to fight the attraction he feels to her.

Things progress fat between them, although Emme is dating a man involved in Jacob's case.

“Before, we had Elsbeth between us. My head was fucked about that, about her, and it took almost a decade to get it unfucked. Lookin’ back, havin’ you back, I now know and I reckon you know, that’s the way it was. She was between us. She knew it too. And she didn’t like it. But it didn’t matter. My head was fucked so I couldn’t see clear of her and not doin’ that, I didn’t see you."

I knew my lips had parted. I also knew my eyes got big. And last, I had no clue what to say. So I said nothing.

“Now she isn’t between us,” he finished."


I love the story, is so beautiful how they admit they always had feelings for each other and how they start a relationship, the problem was, Emme was marked when she was 12 years and she still needed to deal with that in order to move on with Jacob.

The book, as any other KA's book, has an element of suspense that makes it a great read, and as usual another great elements are the hot sexy moments, the super hot alpha male that wants to protect his woman at all cost AND the GIRL POSSE!

“Is the sex good?” Krystal asked me, and my head jerked again.

“I, well… it… we just started—” I stammered, not even knowing why I was stammering instead of telling her that was none of her business.

“I hope it’s good but not great,” Krystal remarked. “Sex slave to an alpha. Bad news.” This time my head didn’t jerk. I blinked again.

“I’m a sex slave to an alpha and I have no complaints,” Lauren muttered, grinning at Zara. “Me either,” Zara replied, grinning back.

“I’ve had mine longer than all of you,” Nina announced. “And I’m of a mind that there will never be a time I complain mostly because it’s been years and Max has given me nothing to complain about"


Yes funny moments and did I mention SUPER.HOT.SEXY.SCENES?...

Kneeling between her opened legs, he held her eyes as he rolled it on. “You’re beautiful, Emme,” he whispered.

“Jacob—” He fell forward and covered her, lips to her lips, he rolled his hips and positioned the tip of his cock inside. “I’m big, honey,” he murmured against her mouth.

"I noticed,” she breathed, her arms rounding him. He slid an inch deeper. Tight. Heaven. Fuck, he wanted to bury himself inside.

“You can’t take me, tell me, or you can’t talk, bite my shoulder.”

“More,” she panted, lifting her hips. Fuck yes. He slid an inch deeper. He closed his eyes and rested his forehead against hers. Slick. Close. Fucking heaven. “More, honey,” she begged. He gave her more, slid out and partially back in. “Jacob—”

“We go slow.” He gave her more, slid out and then partially back in. She squirmed under him, tipping up her hips. Beautiful. Fuck. Killing him.

“Jacob—”

“Slow"

"God,” she whimpered as he gave her more, slid back out and then in. Her legs rounded him and her nails again scraped his back.

“Jacob—” He opened his eyes. “Slow.”

“But—” He slid out and back in. “I—” she began. “Sl—” he started to repeat, but she tipped her chin, caught his lower lip between her teeth, locked her eyes with his, let his lip go and begged, “Please, honey, fuck me.”

Her words, her actions broke his control and he couldn’t hold back any longer. He thrust in savagely and buried himself to the root"


For me this was a great book, definately worth it!

Going Down (Holding Out for A Hero, #1)Going Down by Shelli Stevens
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 "Hot Wyatt Brother" Stars

I still don't remember how I found this book, but the truth is I don't care, the point is It's great!.

Ellie is a yoga instructor from Chicago who needs to skip town, avoiding to testify in court against his ex, who's been charged with drug trafficking. So she ends in the picturesque town of Wyattsville, Oregon, where she meets the hot sheriff in town, Tyson Wyatt. So the first encounter is pretty much him running after her, since she has some issues with men in uniform, and things started to build between them pretty quickly.

Ellie's body stirred with awareness at his proximity, her nipples tightening beneath her tank top. She licked her lips, acutely aware of the thin cotton covering her bare breasts.

"How long do you plan on being in town?" he asked softly, his gaze on her mouth.

Her heart thumped wildly and she had the craziest urge to lean forward and press her mouth against his.

"Probably just a couple of months. Getting out of the city for the summer..."

"Well then, Ellie," he murmured. "I have a feeling we'll be seeing each other again real soon. So you'd better get over that distrust of law enforcement bit."

Her knees almost buckled when he stepped away without touching her. Disappointment swept through her. You're an idiot. Being disappointed that a cop you don't know didn't kiss you?

"I'll, um, work on it." She cleared her throat. "Was there a reason you dropped by in the first place?"

"Just wanted to welcome you to Wyattville and introduce myself." He laughed and shook his head.
"Damn, guess I forgot to do both of those, now didn't I? The name's Tyson Wyatt and welcome to town."


So the book is short, basically it focus on how the met, they need to trust each other, specially Ellie and yes, how the fall into each other, Oh and there are great sex scenes too, so what's not to like!

Checkmate (Neighbor from Hell, #3)Checkmate by R.L. Mathewson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Funny as Hell Stars!!!

I LOVED this book right from the beginning, it's simply HILARIOUS!

This is the story of Rory James and Connor O'Neil; they've been enemies since kindergarten, but it's not just a simple rivalry, it's more like they TRULY hate each other and want to ruin each others life.

They rivalry is so intense that the whole town have rules for them, not being able to be in the same place at the same time and they're banned from most of the stablishments in town.

They end up working together and they want to kill each other, and the process is super funny!.

If you read the previous books in the series you're gonna love that Jason and Trevor Bradford appear in this book as well, since they're Rory's cousins and you know the Bradford family is very tight.

I don't want to spoil the reading, so I'm not going to post quotes of this book, but like I said, I was laughing from the beginning, so here's how everything started:

Twenty-five years earlier.........

"Rory's a boy's name," the mean little boy who'd pushed her off the swing only seconds earlier, announced as he glared down at her accusingly.

Never taking her eyes away from the bully, Rory slowly got up as she wiped dirt off her shirt and jeans. When she finally stood up all the way she was forced to tilt her head back slightly so that she could continue to glare at him the way her older brothers had taught her.
"It's a girl's name," she said, taking a deep breath and shoving him back.

One thing she'd learned, thanks to having five older brothers, was never to let anyone push her around. Once you did, you'd have to sleep with one eye open and keep an eye out for snakes in your bed, spit in your cereal, and toe nails in your mac and cheese. She might have to put up with five big bullies at home, but that didn't mean that she was going to put up with it at preschool, she decided as she gave the boy that had all the girls giggling and calling cute, another shove.

"You're ugly!" he practically sneered as he reached over and pulled one of her pigtails, hard.

"Well, you smell like my brother's butt!" she said, shoving him hard, cause she really couldn't call him ugly since he was kind of cute with honey blonde hair and green eyes.

"Well, you look like my uncle's butt!" he said, yanking the other pigtail hard enough to make her eyes sting.

"Well, you-"

"That's enough of that!" Mrs. Fitzpatrick, the mean woman her father left her with, said as she grabbed them each by the arm. With a firm tug, she dragged them towards the large multicolored building that her father said looked like a rainbow took a shit on. She wasn't sure what shit was exactly, but she knew that no matter what shit was, her father was probably right.

"She started it!" the boy pointed out as they were dragged to the small table in the far corner with the scary clown painted on it.

"That's enough of that, Connor," Mrs.Fitzpatrick said sternly as she planted them on wobbly, red blotched stools. "You will both sit here and think about what you did while the rest of the children enjoy free play."

Rory narrowed her eyes on the little boy that had cost her a turn on the swings as he narrowed his eyes on her.

"You'll pay for this," he promised tightly.

"No, you will," she said, knowing the second, the very second, Mrs. Fitzpatrick turned her back on them that the large jar of pink glitter by the window was going to find its way into Connor's hair.

Kaleb (Alluring Indulgence, #1)Kaleb by Nicole Edwards
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

2.5-3 stars

Where do I start. First, I was having some issues to keep reading, because for me it was very slow at the beginning, nothing really happened, I didn't feel the thrill of the chase between Kaleb and Zoey, it was like "I want her", "I want him" but they didn't do anything about it. It was a bit frustrating.

I have to be honest, once the things started to heat up between them there was some pages worth reading again ;D. There are some menage scenes, which for my tastes are well written.

I think I was expecting a little bit of drama, but it never came and to be honest, I still don't know how to feel about Kaleb, I thought he was going to be a sexy, hot, alpha, but I'm not sure if he fits in there.

Another thing that I liked is when a book links the story with the next book in the series, and in this one there's a bit of the storyline for next book, Zane and V's story, and I'm hoping that one is going to be a good read.
