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!

First Chance (Rock Romance #1)First Chance by A.L. Wood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

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!
