<b>A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...</b><br />
<br />
<i>His need to possess her is non-negotiable. </i><br />
<br />
Story Brooks’ fiancé just called off their wedding two weeks before the happy day. As if that isn't bad enough, her semi-estranged father, an infamous NYPD hostage negotiator, has suffered a heart attack. Not wanting to examine her lack of emotion over the broken engagement, she hops on a plane to reconnect with her father before it’s too late.<br />
<br />
Playboy hostage negotiator Daniel Chase has never, not once, been refused by a woman, so when a debate over hospital snack foods with a delectable kindergarten teacher ends in flat-out rejection, he makes it his mission to seduce her. His only obstacle? She’s the daughter of his mentor who implicitly forbade Daniel from pursuing her.<br />
<br />
Despite her father’s warnings and Daniel’s troubled past, Daniel and Story can’t resist their intense attraction to one another. But when the reason for her fiancé’s abrupt wedding cancellation comes to light, can Story and Daniel's already forbidden relationship survive?</div>

This review is long overdue. I know, I'm sorry. But I will be going on somewhat of a hiatus since my school has been crazy busy. So, I have a few reviews ready and I'll post them whenever I feel like I have the time. Thank you for your patience and enjoy this review!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
This was one of the best books in the series. Wow. The heroine
was sassy and smoking hot. The hero was badass and also smoking hot. Daniel and
Story had the kind of chemistry that just can’t be ignored. I was sucked right
in and hooked right from the start.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wow. This book was just wow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I fucking loved Daniel. I fucking loved Story. I fucking
LOVED them both.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The story starts off with well Story. Her fiancé – now ex –
was dumping her because he had cheated on her with some bitch from work. Story
realized that she was losing bits and bits of herself while she was with that
douchewaffle and so this kind of release was kind of a relief for her. And for
us. God, I love a woman with a backbone.</div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“You know, I could
have sworn you were going to pick the trail mix.”</i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Oh, yeah? Why is
that?”<br /> </i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Because you’re both
full of shit.”</i></blockquote>

<div class="MsoNormal">
My God, I fucking love this woman.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then there’s Daniel, who’s super hot and superbadass. And
he’s also had secrets of his own. When Daniel’s mentor, Jack, got a heart
attack, his world and Story’s overlapped. That was when it all started. Story,
being Jack’s only daughter, was off limits to Daniel, who was a complete ladies
man. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
And so the war begins.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Daniel had demons to face and, with Story, that was what he
tried to do.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">He was proving to her
that he was capable of being more than a woman’s plaything. And in turn, Story
realized, he was proving it to himself.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

I LOVE HIM SO MUH-UH-UH-UCH.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Purple-haired, sharp-tongued Reese MacKay knows all about making the wrong choice; she’s made plenty of them in her twenty-odd-years. So when her impulsive, short-lived marriage ends in heartbreak, she decides it’s time for a change. She moves to Miami with the intention of hitting reset on her irresponsible life, and she does quite well…aside from an epically humiliating one-night stand in Cancun with a hot blond bouncer named Ben. Thank God she can get on a plane and leave that mistake behind her.<br />
<br />
Football scholarship and frat parties with hot chicks? Part of charmer Ben Morris’s plan. Blown knee that kills any hope of a professional football career? So not part of the plan. Luckily Ben has brains to go with his knockout looks and magnetism. After three long years of balancing law school with his job as a bouncer at Penny’s Palace, he’s ready to lead a more mature life—until his first day of work, when he finds himself in the office of that crazy, hot chick he met in Cancun. The one he hasn’t stopped thinking about.<br />
<br />
If Ben truly were a smart guy, he’d stay clear of Reese. She’s the boss’s stepdaughter and it’s been made very clear that office romances are grounds for dismissal. Plus, rumor has it she’s trouble. The only problem is, he likes trouble, especially when it’s so good-looking…</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Wow, no words could express how much I love this book. This
is one of the best or possibly the best book from the series, and that’s saying
something. K.A. Tucker wrote such a romantic and intense love story that will
keep you hooked from beginning until the end with the witty comments, hot make
out sessions and the undeniably strong chemistry between Ben and Reese.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My God, this book was utter perfection. No other words. I
absolutely loved it and right now, I really can’t find anything wrong with it.
I. LOVE. IT.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Reese’s character was just so fucking lovable. I loved how
tough she was and how smart she was. You don’t see that many actual intelligent
women these days in books. Sometimes, they’re smart yeah but Reese is
manipulative and shrewd. I would <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">never</i>
want to put myself on this woman’s warpath. Trust me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When Reese falls into a desperate situation, she calls on
her stepfather for help. In return, she has to agree to his conditions, which
are to clean up her act and help out in his firm. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the other hand, Ben has a lot of family issues to deal
with and because of said family issues, he’s never really committed to a
serious relationship, terrified of the damage it could cause (he doesn’t admit
this of course because he’s all macho man). But Reese changed all that for him.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7ym5yDLxf1qiyde3.gif" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After a humiliating event for Reese with Ben, she was glad
that he was merely a one-night stand. That is, until he finds Reese at the firm
he was working at. The first thing he says? HA! It’ll make you laugh.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, the two being so stubborn and with Reese just
freshly out of a relationship with a douchewaffle who cheated on her, both were
in no position to be in a real relationship. Thus, the struggle begins.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And I loved the quote I had on top. It’s so ironic that she
ended up being the foolish woman. God bless her. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love how weird their relationship was though and how
casual they were with each other. They were always so comfortable around each
other and would have this really easy thing going on. Loved it!</div>

Born in small-town Ontario, Kathleen published her first book at the age of six with the help of her elementary school librarian and a box of crayons. She is a voracious reader and the farthest thing from a genre-snob, loving everything from High Fantasy to Chick Lit. Kathleen currently resides in a quaint small town outside of Toronto with her husband, two beautiful girls, and an exhausting brood of four-legged creatures.</div>

At 21, Calla hasn’t done a lot of things. She’s never been kissed, never seen the ocean, never gone to an amusement park. But growing up, she witnessed some things no child ever should. She still carries the physical and emotional scars of living with a strung-out mother, Mona—secrets she keeps from everyone, including her close circle of college friends.<br />
<br />
But the safe cocoon Calla has carefully built is shattered when she discovers her mom has stolen her college money and run up a huge credit card debt in her name. Now, Calla has to go back to the small town she thought she'd left behind and clean up her mom’s mess again. Of course, when she arrives at her mother’s bar, Mona is nowhere to be found. Instead, six feet of hotness named Jackson James is pouring drinks and keeping the place humming.<br />
<br />
Sexy and intense, Jax is in Calla’s business from the moment they meet, giving her a job and helping her search for Mona. And the way he looks at her makes it clear he wants to get horizontal . . . and maybe something more. Before Calla can let him get close, though, she’s got to deal with the pain of the past—and some very bad guys out to mess her up if she doesn’t give them her mom.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
J. Lynn never ceases to amaze
me (or make me sob like a five year old). With characters that have depths like
Jax and Calla, she managed to twist a beautiful story out of all of the ugly in
their pasts. The storyline hooked me in from the beginning and sunk me deep
within the world of the characters with suspenseful thrill and heart-wrenching
romance.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
Um, wow.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
Like what the hell just
happened?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
I don’t know why but picking up
one of J. Lynn’s books always makes me cry. It sucks but it’s also awesome. I
mean, I’ve honestly been so busy that I’ve gotten tired of reading lately but
this book revived my love for angst-filled stories. So thank you, J. Lynn,
you’ve given me my reading mojo back.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
Guys with the name Jax are hot.
And yes, I’m referring to Kimberly Lauren’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Beautiful
Broken Rules</i> and now to the wonderful <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Stay
with Me</i>. Jax James is a no-bullshit kind of man and I loved that about him.
He was definitely not all shy with his affections for Calla even though he can
be an idiot at times. He’s a genuinely good guy who can make super hot sexual
innuendos (and also other sexual ehem moves too). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
We see the world through
Calla’s eyes, how she’s battled with lower self-esteem and fear of being looked
upon differently by people. But she’s strong. Despite all the bad shit from her
past, all the bad shit that’s going to happen in the book, she did not break
down. Not once. And I’m so proud of her for that. Of course she got shaken up
but she’s smart about dealing with her problems instead of being like those
idiotic heroines in romance stories who just throw themselves into dangerous
situations claiming that “oh, this is to save him/her”. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
Like, no bitch, putting
yourself in danger does NOT save people okay. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
Calla can be hilarious too with
some of her lines. I find myself laughing with whatever’s going on in her head.
Love that!<o:p></o:p></div>

Anyway, I can go on and on
about this book, not to mention all the cameos made by the previous couples
*squeal* I LOOOOVED <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">WAIT FOR YOU</i> and
I still haven’t read Jase and Teresa’s story but I will. Soon. I promise ;) And

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i> She’s forbidden.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Saffron Carlton is the darling of the big screen, starlet on the red carpet, and wife of mega producer Felix Carlton. Her life seems perfect with her overflowing bank balance, adoring fans, and luxury homes around the world. Everyone thinks they know her. But no one truly does.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The silver limelight is tainted the day the couple announce their divorce.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>He’s flawed.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Raised in squalor, fed on violence and poverty, Cas Smith knows the underbelly of the world. He’s not looking for fame or fortune. He’s looking for a job to get him the hell away from the danger of illegal fighting, and comes face to face with the woman who ran all those years ago.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unable to turn down her job offer, he agrees to be her bodyguard and personal trainer, all while she hides her secrets.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He had no intention of letting her back into his heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But neither of them were prepared for what happens when forbidden and flawed collide —fracturing the world they know, changing the rules forever.</span><br />

<b>A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...</b><br />
<br />
<i>The greater the risk, the hotter the reward…</i><br />
<br />
Homicide cop Troy Bennett had a reputation on the Chicago PD for being fearless and in control—until the night his daredevil partner is killed during a raid. From that moment on, he swears he’ll never again be responsible for the loss of a loved one. To escape his demons, Troy transfers to the NYPD, bringing him up close and personal with Ruby Elliott, a beautiful, street-savvy pool hustler.<br />
<br />
Reckless and stubbornly independent, Ruby embodies everything Troy’s avoiding, but when she walks into O’Hanlon’s Pub and blows his carefully laid plans to hell, Troy knows he has to have her—risks be damned. But there’s a connection between Ruby’s shadowed past and a case Troy’s working involving a notorious Brooklyn felon, throwing her safety into jeopardy. Confronted with his biggest fear, will Troy push Ruby away to keep her safe or fight to keep her in his arms where she belongs?</div>

This short novel was hilarious and sweet and HOT AS HELL. Ruby and Troy’s chemistry was off the charts. If it had been trapped in a box, it would probably have burst from all the excitement and intensity. Fantastic!<br />
<br />
Their story was pretty short but it was super fucking hot. I read the first book around a year or two years ago and I remember it being so freaking smoking. The sex? FUCKING CRAZY.<br />
<br />
Troy moved from Chicago to join the NYPD after a certain case left him plagued with emotions he did not want to have. So he took off and is starting fresh, planning to just focus on his career. Until Ruby Elliot walked into his life.<br />
<br />
Ruby was a hustler. She wasn’t born into the white picket fence kind of house and instead was taught how to survive in the real world. But, like Troy, she wanted a fresh start and wanted to get on with her life and do real, actual work.<br />

<br />
When their worlds collide, everything changed. Suddenly, the future that they had planned so thoroughly is changed bit by bit as they start to invade – in a good way – each other’s personal space.<br />
<br />
I absolutely loved the book. I just wished that they had more time to develop or at least increase their connection so we could see how strong their bond was.<br />

<i>A broken heart forever bears scars. . . </i><br />
<br />
Sterling Legend grew up a prince in the City of Angels. His life was perfect and he wanted for nothing until his entire world shattered. He lost everything dear to him the year he turned seventeen. Now he’s grown into a formidable man on the cusp of outrageous success. His life revolves around his work and all the beautiful baubles that Los Angeles can offer to a wealthy young man. He’s buried his feelings and his heart so that he will never be hurt again.<br />
<br />
<i>A lost love that she could never forget . . .</i><br />
<br />
Rhiannon Bliss was forced to leave L.A. to extinguish the fire of a first love, but an ocean, a different country, and seven years couldn’t quell her desires. Now she’s returned to the City of Angels to care for her mother. Can she fight her feelings for the man that once broke her heart? Does she even want to?<br />
<br />
<i>Finding your way back to love can be an impossible path. . . </i><br />
<br />
Sterling Legend is at the top of the entertainment industry. His fast rise to success due to his talent and to his last name. But Sterling wants to find success on his own. He is on the path to producing his first film, without his famous father as the star, when the ex-love of his life re-enters his world. Rhiannon Bliss left seven years before without a word. Sterling has no need to forgive, but his desire for Rhiannon is overwhelming. Can two broken hearts use the heat of their attraction to find their way back to love?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although I must admit that it wasn't as good as Amanda and Ryan's story, Rhiannon and Sterling made me laugh and frustrated and it just gave me all the chills. Their story was so complex with ghosts from their pasts and their family wars. It was amazing to watch them walk through that shitstorm to finally end up together in the end.<br />
<br />
The characters were awesome but nothing really unique.<br />
<br />
I adored Sterling Legend. He's a man who goes after what he wants, even crossing the stubborn, hard-headed, temperamental, need-to-be-number-one-all-the-time Steve Legend. So when his mother left a script for him and Amanda that seemed to be a "curse", Sterling wanted to oblige his mother's final wish.<br />
<br />
Even if it meant that he had to work around and without his father - who loathed the script and would do anything to put it to a stop - to collect funding, actors, director, etc. But I liked that. I liked how he strayed away from the Legend name to make a low-budget indie film that could win Oscars. LOVED. HIM.<br />
<br />
Rhiannon was awesome too. I mean, she's a freaking artist. God, I love her. She's also stubborn at times and she can be afraid. But she's always so sweet and mellow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://www.readsleeprepeat.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Dreamy-face.gif" height="176" width="320" /></div>
<br />
But their romance was so hard for the both of them. Sterling's name brought a lot of bad signs into the relationship for Rhiannon's parents. Knowing the Legends for so long, they knew what the Legends were capable of and was far from trusting of Sterling.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Rhiannon, please remember, that to be a Legend can be the most horrible of blessings."</i></blockquote>
However, I felt some of their small fights were unnecessary and it could've just led up to a bigger, climatic one. Some of the lines were too cheesy. I really don't understand Rhiannon's father, like fuck off man. Maybe the author intended for us to really loathe him but I feel like I wanna throw him into the pits of hell just because he suddenly acts like a father when he wants to defend his honor. Prick.<br />
<br />
Otherwise, great book! </div>

<b>There's nothing like the first time . . .</b><br />
<br />
In Carnal, Colorado, Faye Goodknight is the town's quiet, shy librarian. She may also be Carnal's last remaining virgin. For years, Faye has had a crush on Chace Keaton, but the gorgeous cop has always been unattainable. She's resigned to live contentedly with only her books for company-until Faye suddenly meets Chace alone in the woods...<br />
<br />
Chace doesn't think he's the good guy everyone believes him to be. He's made a lot of choices he regrets, including denying his feelings for Faye. Through his choices, he's come to believe the pretty librarian is too good for him, but after their time in the woods, Chace realizes that she may be his last chance for redemption. Soon, their long simmering desires grow to a burning passion. Yet always casting a shadow over their happiness is Chace's dark past...</div>

This is another fan-fucking-tastic novel off the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Colorado Mountain</i> series. Here, we see
our favorite police officer overcome his demons with the help of the local
librarian, Faye. It’s a very intense, climatic story but it’s also addicting
with its innocent sweetness.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He screws up. A LOT. in the beginning. And I loved that!!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chace Keaton is the type of man I’d totally tap or marry. Or
both! He’s the typical Kristen Ashley alpha male but he’s also a man who’s
always wanted his “happily ever after”… just in a manlier way.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He’s got a way with words that can wow Faye Goodknight,
who’s never really had any real experience with men (which is so freaking
adorable!).</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I like it that you
have no clue how to kiss but still, the two kisses I’ve shared with you are the
best I’ve ever had.”</i></blockquote>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ah, Faye, you are one lucky woman. Faye is another sweet
character who’s different from the other heroines of the series. While the
others were more experienced, Faye is innocent with her feelings for the local
hero. But, of course, she still has a backbone that probably every girl has.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And Faye has a problem. This problem would bring these two
together. There’s a kid that caught Faye’s eyes, and not in a very good way.
It’s in a very worrying way. So she goes to the cops and asks for help. To
which, Chace obviously happily obliges.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I’ll admit, I’m not
goin’ all out for this kid just because I’m a cop. I’m doin’ it because it
means something to the town’s pretty librarian.”</i></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God these two are undeniably adorable! Like the other books
in the series, it also has that air of suspense to it. It’s extremely intense
and thrilling to read. It’s not your typical romance where it’s all just
happily ever after. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They have so many bumps along the way but we just know that,
with their strength of what they’ve been through, their commitment to each other
and their chemistry, they’d make it to the finish line.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA. She nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn't taken her first breath!).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana but has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.</div>

<b>A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint...</b><br />
<br />
<i>He'll fight for her life. She'll fight for his love.</i><br />
<br />
Kat MacGregor has forty-eight hours to make good on the debt her ex-boyfriend owes a crime boss. Unfortunately, the measly tips she makes waitressing are barely enough for her to live on, much less cover the twenty-thousand needed to keep her breathing. With time running out, Kat 's forced to accept help from the only man who's ever made her feel fire rather than fear.<br />
<br />
When he learns a friend's sister is in trouble, former Boston MMA fighter Aiden "Irish" O'Brien heads to Louisiana to offer himself up as collateral to keep her safe. But to satisfy the debt, he has to do the one thing he swore hed never do again: fight. With more than just money on the line, will Irish have what it takes to not only reclaim the man he once was, but become the man he needs to be for the woman he can't live without?</div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fighting for Irish</i>
is a story about redemption and forgiveness. Aiden pulls Kat out of her
individual hell where she keeps running and provides her with the life that
she’s always dreamed of and deserved. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Aiden is <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">the</i> man.
I freaking LOVE him!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He’s on a trip to find Kat, who has identified herself as
someone else. Kat is hiding from her past, from the men who want to find her
and possibly kill her. Aiden was going to change all that for her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This man is a sexy, SEXY fighter who’s quit the ring a long
time ago for specific reasons mentioned in the book (so not gonna spoil it).
He’s huge in terms of his body, his heart and also *cough* down there.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Kitten, you’re going
to inflate my ego to dangerous levels with all that talk about me being so
big.”</i></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Phew, I’d love to be Kat in that situation.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the other hand, Kat lives in paranoia every day. She
lives in a small town where nobody knows her, avoiding everything connected
with her past life, and living in the moment. That is, until her past comes
chasing after her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With Aiden’s help, Kat faces her darkest fears and her
biggest problem. With his help, Kat broke free of the chains holding her down. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although she was frustrating at times with her stubbornness,
she was an admirable character. <o:p></o:p></div>

<i>New York Times</i> and <i>USA TODAY</i> bestselling author, Gina L. Maxwell, is a shameless romance addict with no intentions of ever kicking the habit.<br />
<br />
Growing up, she dreamed of helping people escape reality with her sublime acting abilities. It wasn’t until college when she realized she had none to speak of, thereby derailing her lifelong plans. Another ten years would pass before she discovered a different means to accomplishing the same dream: writing stories of love and passion for romance addicts just like her.<br />
<br />
Thanks to the support of her amazing family, Gina is now the Boss of the world’s first organized romance mafia, the Maxwell Mob, and living her dream of bringing a little romantic fantasy to the world—one steamy novel at a time.</div>

<br />
Daunted by the singular tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house.<br />
<br />
But desire for Christian still dominates her every waking thought, and when he proposes a new arrangement, Anastasia cannot resist. They rekindle their searing sensual affair, and Anastasia learns more about the harrowing past of her damaged, driven and demanding Fifty Shades.<br />
<br />
While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her, and make the most important decision of her life.<br />
<br />
This book is intended for mature audiences.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="MsoNormal">
After rereading this for like the hundredth time, I still
found <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Darker</i> to be the best book of
the trilogy. This is where the romantic connection and explosive chemistry were
most prominent. Christian and Ana overcome more and more hurdles in their
relationship, including trust, family, and past lovers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I really liked the book, I really did. But I just have to
mention that Ana saying “Oh my” and her inner goddess are really unnecessary.
Much, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">much</i> better details could’ve
been added instead of that. Plot-wise, this book is fucking amazing, but the
writing style I’m not a big fan of. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But anyway, YAY. In this book, it’s waaay more intense and
after the cliffy in the first book, this book just comes as a true joy. Christian
Grey is the love of my life. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Honestly Ana pissed me off a lot in this book. Although some
of her issues were rational, some others were just so selfish and dumb. I was
just like, “What the fuck is wrong with you?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, I’d rather talk about Christian Grey (cue the
screaming fangirls) He is the ultimate man. Like really, if there was a perfect
man, it’d be him. Aside from his fear of being touched, Christian is a man who
would do anything for a woman he loves. I just… GOD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“This is me, Ana. All
of me… and I’m all yours. What do I have to do to make you realize that? To
make you see that I want you any way I can get you. That I love you.”</i></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh41yaHZ3-UdmbHhfEs4ak2IFB_KzUKO9g1w3buaYN1RHik54ssk9VHMuITy8v6ugz6uoEyuhMLRY06tw-55dkaM-3FvsJn7rTSVQ_h3CpQHmY6QQDC2GUALBsPoImLEYeFAE3u8twgsHO6/s1600/cmt-medium.gif" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He is mercurial, as I would describe him in Ana’s terms.
He’s hot one second, cold the next. He can be super sweet then turn into a
raging beast.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I don’t know whether
to worship at your feet or spank the living shit out of you.”</i></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
God, when he kind of cracked that one time in the book, I
cried. I CRIED READING THAT SCENE AND IT WASN’T EVEN SAD. Imagining Christian
who is so strong and powerful be in such a vulnerable state broke my heart completely.

Early in her life, Josephine Malone learned the hard way that there was only one person she could love and trust: her grandmother, Lydia Malone. Out of necessity, unconsciously and very successfully, Josephine donned a disguise to keep all others at bay. She led a globetrotting lifestyle on the fringes of the fashion and music elite, but she kept herself distant.<br />
<br />
While Josephine was trotting the globe, retired boxer Jake Spear was living in the same small town as Lydia. There was nothing disguised about Jake. Including the fact he made a habit of making very bad decisions about who to give his love.<br />
<br />
But for Josephine and Jake, there was one person who adored them. One person who knew how to lead them to happiness. And one person who was intent on doing it.<br />
<br />
Even if she had to do it as her final wish on this earth.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The first in the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Magdalene
</i>series honestly did not disappoint me at all. The connection between the
two protagonists in Kristen Ashley’s books is always so strong and they have
extremely steamy romance. It comes with passion and aggression, everything that
real love includes, and that’s just perfect.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p>I've been having a Kristen Ashley marathon so bear with me.</o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fuck, I fell in love with the characters over and over
again. Even with Josie’s grandmother. She sounded really awesome.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jake has never met Josephine – or better known as Josie here
– before her grandmother passed. And Josie, hearing that her grandmother left
part of her inheritance for a stranger is shocked. Especially by the fact that
her grandmother had left her to him. Like literally she inherited Josie to
Jake. Fucking hilarious. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Jake’s got three kids he has to take care of and a streak of
bad women from the past. He’s taught them well, but being a single parent is
difficult and so, with Josie’s help, he managed to keep his family happy and
healthy. Well, in the end at least…</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<i>She ignored her father, looked to me and announced. “I’m a vegetarian.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<i>“Yeah, she decided that this morning,” Jake noted at my side.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<i>“Killing animals for human consumption is disgusting,” she informed her father.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<i>“Wonder what killing daughters for bein’ pains in the ass is,” Jake muttered.</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ah, can’t you just feel that deep family bond?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the other hand, Josie has been travelling all around the
world with a famous photographer and has met many influential people. She’s
wealthy and successful. But when news of her grandmother reached her, she took
a temporary leave from her job and took off for home. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Josie is one of those heroines who do not realize their
potential and greatness. She’s very humble and sweet and I love that.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<i>“Con told me about you. His dad’s new girlfriend.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<i>At her words, I felt shafts of fire burn through me like spears were drilling from top to toe. This feeling was painful because this feeling was hope in the face of hopelessness.</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She doesn’t believe that Jake would love her in such away,
let alone like her. And I’m just like, “Woman, please. You’ve got this man
wrapped around your pinky.”<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA. She nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn't taken her first breath!).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana but has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.</div>

<b>Is love in the cards?</b><br />
<br />
Since birth, Lexie Berry has had nothing but bad luck. Orphaned at an early age, she had a rough childhood and a boyfriend who was murdered. Now the beautiful, stylish Lexie is determined to change her luck and her life. But first she's got to make good on a promise: to pick up Ty Walker from prison. One look at the gorgeous ex-convict and Lexie knows she's in trouble-and already thinking about taking a walk on the wild side . . .<br />
<br />
For five years, Ty was imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. Now he wants revenge on the people who framed him. Yet when the high-stakes poker player sees the leggy Lexie, he suddenly has other desires on his mind. Realizing that Ty is innocent, Lexie tries to stop his plan for vengeance and help him become a better man. But as Ty battles his inner demons, dirty cops and criminals plot to take him out. Can he and Lexie find a way to escape the past?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Better than the first two of the series, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Lady Luck</i> alternates between the
perspectives of Ty and Lexie. Two fierce characters who are both stubborn as
hell and equally as fucking fantastic. The chemistry was explosive and the
romance boiling hot. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I LOOOOVED IT. Jesus Christ, this is Kristen Ashley at her
best. I loved every bit of it, even the parts where Ty was all caveman-like. I
sometimes get pissed off over how rough they are but then, this time, it was
just *deep sigh*<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay, so what I liked most was the structure of this book
which definitely veers off Kristen’s usual track. Usually we get the male POVs
towards the end of the book and it’s usually during the climax. But this one,
we get Ty almost throughout the whole thing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love how we get a glimpse into his mind because, well,
boys are hard to figure out, especially the heroes in Kristen’s books, because
they’re all crude and everything. It’s really fucking cute.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<i>Then he noticed her lips were pressed together, he guessed as to why and reminded her, “Time to bolt is over. You’re wearin’ my rings.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<i>Her head jerked and she declared firmly, “I’m not going to bolt.”<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<i>The tightness in his chest he hadn’t noticed until he heard her words released.</i></div>
</blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Wow. That last line just said more than a paragraph ever
could. Simple, powerful. Perfect.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p>(That gif is from my favorite anime just an FYI)</o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ty is actually really fucking cute and I just love him so
much. He fucks up a couple of times, like really badly, and wow, the way he
grovels is just wow. I LOVE YOU, TY. He loves the light that Lexie radiates
into the world and when it disappeared, he panicked. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lexi is also another favorite of mine because of her sass.
She’s straightforward and classy and sexy in one package. Even though her past
kind of sucks, she still grew up to be a fantastic woman. And very, very
protective of her man.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“And I don’t know what
he’s going to do or how long it’s going to take. So Something has to give
because there’s a bitch in this town who needs a lesson and I’m the teacher.”</i></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Per-fect. I loooove her so much I swear to God.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA. She nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn't taken her first breath!).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana but has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.</div>

<br />
The <i>Beautiful Disaster</i> and <i>Walking Disaster </i>phenomenon continues in the first heart-pounding new adult romance in The Maddox Brothers series.<br />
<br />
Fiercely independent Camille "Cami" Camlin gladly moved on from her childhood before it was over. She has held down a job since before she could drive, and moved into her own apartment after her freshman year of college. Now tending bar at The Red Door, Cami doesn’t have time for much else besides work and classes, until a trip to see her boyfriend is cancelled, leaving her with a first weekend off in almost a year.<br />
<br />
Trenton Maddox was the king of Eastern State University, dating co-eds before he even graduated high school. His friends wanted to be him, and women wanted to tame him, but after a tragic accident turned his world upside down, Trenton leaves campus to come to grips with the crushing guilt.<br />
<br />
Eighteen months later, Trenton is living at home with his widower father, and works full-time at a local tattoo parlor to help with the bills. Just when he thinks his life is returning to normal, he notices Cami sitting alone at a table at The Red.<br />
<br />
As the baby sister of four rowdy brothers, Cami believes she’ll have no problem keeping her new friendship with Trenton Maddox strictly platonic. But when a Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever—even if she is the only reason their already broken family could fall apart.<br />
<br />
In the first installment of the Maddox Brothers books, readers can experience the rush of reading <i>Beautiful Disaster</i> for the first time, all over again.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Beautiful Oblivion,</i>
similar to other of McGuire’s books, was heart-wrenchingly awesome. There’s no
other word for it. Trent Maddox is one of a kind and so is Cami. They had such
a fantastic connection.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
WOOOOW. Okay, um, Trent, I love you. I just freaking love
you. He was such a determined character even though it’s probably morally wrong
to chase after a woman who’s already got a boyfriend. But he’s Trent Maddox. So
I forgive him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://www.lifeinprogress.ca/.a/6a0120a95a88d5970b019b027444c5970c-800wi" height="179" width="320" /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, Trent had a good reason to do so anyway. He’d watched
Cami from afar for far too long (which I wished we had a background to) and now
he’s going after her. Unfortunately, Cami is taken by T.J., her boyfriend who’s
in California. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Trent is fucking adorable though when he’s chasing her.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He’s so goddamn sweet and alwkejrwlerj just
so cute!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“I was just thinking
now was as good a time as any to acknowledge that you’re perfect and it
wouldn’t suck if you fell madly in love with me anytime soon.”</i></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, um, how do you not fall in love with him? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
However, Trent also had a bit of a fault. I felt, like
Travis, he was a bit too desperate. Some of his lines were too cheesy and it
seemed as if he was just this weak character instead of the admirable hero he
is.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Cami is also fucking awesome. She acknowledges her problem,
how she’s in love with two people at the same time. Although she, like Abby
too, came off as annoying towards the end, I liked her character. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately, what pissed me off was – like <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Beautiful Disaster</i> – it seemed as if
Trent liked Cami more than she him. I mean, there’s this fantastic guy who’s so
in love with you and then Cami seemed to take it for granted.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
Lauren Grahame has spent her whole life thinking something special was going to happen. She didn’t know what it was, she just knew it would one day be hers. But she learned the hard way that special wasn’t on offer.<br />
<br />
So, after divorcing her cheating husband, Lauren searched for nothing special and she thought she found it when she landed a job as a waitress in a biker bar in Carnal. It was perfect: a nothing job in a nowhere bar in Nowheresville.<br />
<br />
Then Tatum Jackson walked in. Part-owner of the bar, he took one look at high-class Lauren and wanted nothing to do with her. And he made this known, loudly.<br />
<br />
Tate’s angry insults seared in her brain, Lauren decides the feeling is mutual and she doesn’t want anything to do with the gloriously handsome Tate Jackson. The clash of the bartender and barmaid begins but, even though Tate makes his change of mind clear (in biker-speak, a language Lauren is not fluent in), Lauren is intent on going her own way.<br />
<br />
Until a serial killer hits Carnal and Lauren finds out Tate isn’t a bartender, he’s a bounty hunter. He stakes his claim for Lauren before he goes on the hunt for a killer but Laurie doesn’t speak biker nor does she understand bounty hunters and Tate comes back from the hunt to find his old lady has moved on.<br />
<br />
Life throws curveball after curveball at Laurie and Tate. As secrets are revealed, women are brutally murdered, and Lauren tries to find her inner biker babe.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Another fucking amazing book from the <i>Colorado Mountain</i> series. Seriously, these mountain dudes really know how to work it. Tate is fucking awesome (mostly because he fucks up then grovels, and also 'cause he's hot) and God, Lauren is such a sweetheart with her naivety and friendliness. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
We start off with Lauren who takes off when she finds out that her douche of an now-ex-husband was cheating on her with her fucking best friend. I know, total douchewaffle. She wanders around for a while until she settles into a little town called Carnal. Finding a job as a waitress at Bubba's, she had to sass Krystal into letting her in. Then she met another douche, as if her husband wasn't enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
None other than Tatum Jackson.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Christ, he really was a prick. I wanted to punch him straight through the face when I heard what he said about Lauren. I mean, come on, man, nobody – and I mean <i>nobody</i> – should say that to a woman. Fuck, but he did. And thus begins the tale of a sweet, sweet love-hate relationship between the two.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But Lauren… well, let's just say her ex-husband had fucked with her mind. Like really bad. But Tate's working on it.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
<i>"Special doesn't </i>exist<i>. So the best you can do is find real. I found real, Brad, and I like it."</i></blockquote>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basically her and Brad's relationship is the gif above. Sick it to him, Laurie!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And Tate, wow, he has a way with words. Yes, he may seem really crude (which I love my men like) but he's got a way of making you feel really special.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
"<i>I'm gonna piss you off 'cause I can be a dick. That's who I am. And you're gonna piss me off 'cause, babe, you got attitude. That's who you are. And that's who we're comin' out to be together. And I'm all right with that because, with what I had before, even when you're a bitch, I like it. But when you're not, it's a sweetness like I've never tasted."</i></blockquote>
I think I just barfed in my mouth over how cute this shit is. I mean, really? Can you be any more realistic and romantic? Realistic and romantic don't fit together unless it's put together by Tate Jackson. Goddamn man.<br />
<br />
The serial killer also adds to the intensity of the whole situation and the last few chapters were crazy. As in <i>crazy</i> crazy. You would not expect that person, wow. Definitely worth reading!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA. She nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn't taken her first breath!).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana but has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.</div>

<b>Love is the greatest gamble of all . . . </b><br />
<br />
Nina Sheridan desperately needs a timeout vacation. With a fiancé who can't even remember how she takes her coffee, Nina wants some distance to rethink her engagement. Flying halfway around the world from England to a mountain town in Colorado should do the trick. But when she finds a gorgeous man at her rental cabin, Nina's cold, lonely adventure suddenly heats up.<br />
<br />
The owner of the house, Holden "Max" Maxwell is surprised by the beautiful woman who turns up at his door. But when Nina becomes ill, Max spends days nursing her back to health. A private man with a broken heart, Max finds himself drawn to the strong-willed woman. Soon it becomes impossible for Nina and Max to deny their growing attraction to one another. Yet even as these two wounded lovebirds think about taking a chance on a relationship, a dangerous secret from Max's past emerges-and threatens to end their love for good.</div>

<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9GuKaKkVNacYQQhkkIgFhxWMom-POlAVIeWvzq0rq-EJvSjnACTTJTWy4b8_3YU6aQAMZgr70NHKLRXfUkOS2V1k1jLu2n04vv9U_7lSAdoGG50OHHrtYHp2nNLddYO6rLvqJ-QlXT0E/s640/review.png" height="120" width="540" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Kristen Ashley is the ultimate creator of badass, dirty mouthed alpha males. Hones to God, all her men are so addictive, smoking hot, and completely badass and possessive. In <i>The Gamble</i>, we get Max who's gone through so much in so little time. And also Nina, very high class, very sweet, and very confused. Together, they have the kind of chemistry that would suck the air right out of the room (in a definite good way).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Sweet mama, I wouldn't have read this series if it wasn't for my best friend (God bless you, woman). When I read the blurb, I thought it was just going to be an "ehh, okay" kind of book instead of a "wow, okay" kind of book. But I was wrong. So wow, okay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Like every other of Kristen's books, this one is written from Nina's point of view and we see her as an introduction to the novel with her car being stuck in a ditch and her reservations for lodgings being cancelled by none other than Max himself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But loved, loved, loved Nina's character! She's very independent, smart, and she sticks up for herself. Like other Ashley heroines, she's also a little lost somewhere and so, with the help of Max, she finds herself again.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I. Fucking. Love. Her. She knows just the right things to say.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
<i>"We girls, we're tough, darling. Soft on the outside but, deep down, we're </i>tough<i>. DOesn't feel like it now but none of this is going to beat you."</i></blockquote>
But then when she holds grudges, it's hi-lar-i-ous! Definitely don't wanna get on her bad side.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Maybe plot how I'll drug and kidnap my father, drive him to the next state and dump him outside a Police Station with a note pinned to him saying that he killed JFK and was there to confess."</i></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In comes Max with his suave ways. He was a dick at first, like most guys are, but then he became the possessive male who came to love Nina in all of her cute high-maintenanced ways. God, when he gets angry but like a good kind of angry (?), it's so hot!<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"<i>Not a big fan of my woman running herself down, not even doin' it as a joke. You got an unbelievably pretty face, fantastic fuckin' eyes and a spectacular body."</i></blockquote>
Um, I think my underwear just flew out the window? Holy. Shit.<br />
<br />
Although Max can be annoying at times when he thinks with his dick, but the outcome? WOO-HOO!!! Like really, can you do me? Okay, moving on. Seriously. Okay. Um.<br />
<br />
THE ENDING. Yes, let's talk about the ending. Wow, the ending. Did not expect that. Really was surprised. I think the <i>Colorado Mountain </i>series all have a bit of a mystery/action in them which makes it all the more intense and exciting to read. READ IT!!!<br />

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana but has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.</div>

<br />
Growing up the way I did, you’d think I’d be more screwed up than what I actually am.<br />
<br />
Soon as I turned sixteen, I left that bump in the road I called home and took my chances on the street.<br />
<br />
Best decision I ever made.<br />
<br />
Now, at the age of twenty six, I’m educated, employed and damn good at my job.<br />
<br />
My friends have become my family. Like me, they know what it’s like to grow up unloved.<br />
<br />
But the saying is true.<br />
<br />
The world makes way for those who know where they are going.<br />
<br />
That’s me.<br />
<br />
I know where I’m going and I’ll get there eventually. On my own terms and at my own pace.<br />
<br />
But then there’s him.<br />
<br />
I feel his eyes on me. I see him hiding in plain sight. He watches me.<br />
<br />
He makes me feel.<br />
<br />
It’s unconventional.<br />
<br />
But it’s real.<br />
<br />
I’m sure you’re wondering how a person falls in love with their stalker.<br />
<br />
So am I.<br />
<br />
This isn’t a story.<br />
<br />
This is my life.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This twisted novel was one of the most exhilarating, frustrating, goddamn awesome reads I've had this year. The characters all left such a huge impact on me from the main roles to the supporting ones. Each and every one of them was vital to the development of the story. This is a story that absolutely did <i><b>NOT</b></i> disappoint. I look forward to more work by Belle Aurora (and possibly a sequel to that horrifying cliffy). Seriously though.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I jsut. The ending killed me okay. IT MURDERED ME. CHOPPED ME UP TO PIECES. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My first thought after the book ended:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://jennadoesbooks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/animated-stitch-book.gif" height="189" width="320" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, I was that close to throwing my book (iPad) away after reading that one tiny part. And then it turned into this (which included me rolling in my tears)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sweet Jesus, this book ruined my life. In a good way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think Belle Aurora's trying to compete with J.K. Rowling and Suzanne Collins. The <b>SPOILER ALERT </b><strike>character deaths</strike> <b>END OF SPOILER</b> tore me APART. Like to pieces. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyway, let's move on to the characters. Wow. Lexi is sweet. She's independent, hard-working and super caring. I remember how much she loved Michael, how she's always so thoughtful and considerate of him. Very motherly. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then there's the connection between Lexi and Twitch (yes they call him Twitch). </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>He's a raging fire. And I'm a fragile moth fluttering into the flame. Sooner or later, I'm going to get burned. I know this.</i></blockquote>
AAAAH ALL THE FEELS ARE FLOODING INSIDE ME.<br />
<br />
We've also got Twitch who's a mysterious man. Goddamn. He's sexy, gritty, powerful, mm-mm, alpha male too! My kind of man.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>There's something about Twitch. He's just… raw. Everything about him is raw. And gritty. And unbound.</i></blockquote>
Amen to that, sister.<br />
<br />
Honest to God, this story was so fucking intense. Like, really intense. It was sort of a dark romance I guess, definitely not as dark as Pepper Winters' (because those are terrifying but fantastic) but this one is equally as awesome! <br />
<br />
One teensy problem was the rush in the "I love you" department. However, really fucking good backup with the sexual and emotional chemistry.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Thus, I loved it. And I've been recommending it to everyone I know and now it's also you guys. READ IT!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Puh-lease, write a sequel for this! </div>

Belle Aurora is twenty six years old and was born in the land down under. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At an early age she fell in love with reading. Boredom one summer had her scouring the bookshelves at home. She stumbled across Sandra Brown’s Breath of Scandal and fell in love with romance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and humor. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Humorous romance novels.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kristen Ashley and R.L. Mathewson had opened a brand new world where she could lose herself yet feel safe and at home in their stories. Belle has been known to become a screeching banshee while anxiously awaiting their newest titles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Belle never thought she would write. It had never interested her until recently. Friend-Zoned began to form and in February this year Belle typed the words Chapter One. And she fell in love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With words.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friend-Zoned is the first in the Friend-Zoned series. Keep an eye out for this cheeky author.</div>

In the beginning, there was him.<br />
<br />
Gutsy, green-eyed Eleanor never met a rule she didn't want to break. She's sick of her mother's zealotry and the confines of Catholic school, and declares she'll never go to church again. But her first glimpse of beautiful, magnetic Father Søren Stearns and his lust-worthy Italian motorcycle is an epiphany. Suddenly, daily Mass seems like a reward, and her punishment is the ache she feels when they're apart. He is intelligent and insightful and he seems to know her intimately at her very core. Eleanor is consumed—and even she knows that can't be right.<br />
<br />
But when one desperate mistake nearly costs Eleanor everything, it is Søren who steps in to save her. She vows to repay him with complete obedience…and a whole world opens before her as he reveals to her his deepest secrets.<br />
<br />
Danger can be managed—pain, welcomed. Everything is about to begin.</div>

Never have I ever felt so much pain and happiness and frustration all at the same time when reading a book until Tiffany Reisz came along. <i>The Original Series</i> has continued to wow me over and over again and it was no different with <i>The Saint</i>. The emotional connection between Eleanor and Søren is uncontainable and undeniable. They have a wonderful relationship where aside from love and friendship, they've also got the fights that will crack you up. Really, you will never be disappointed with this series.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
That's about the extent I can go before I go into full-blown fangirl mode. Here it goes…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
OKAY HOLY SHIT WOW HOLY SHITTTTT. Oh my God, this book was just as good as the previous two. Eleanor really is the shit. My God, I love her character to bits. I couldn't stop laughing with her. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I mean honestly this kid. When she refused to go to church (by claiming that she's turned buddhist and atheist), her mom had to convince her by telling her that they had a new handsome priest. Didn't work. The priest had a really expensive motorcycle? Sign her up.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
<i>"I'm coming. But I'm doing it for the Ducati, not for God."</i></blockquote>
Sometimes I wonder what I would do if I had a daughter like her. Sweet mama I love this kid so much. She was like fifteen at that time. Wow.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I highlighted so many quotes from this book that it's impossible to fit into this review. Really. Just read the book. I'd probably highlight the whole book if I could.<br />
<br />
In this story, we get the introduction to Eleanor Schreiber before she became the infamous, notorious Nora Sutherlin (we even find out where she gets that name from!). This is a story about a child who felt unwanted and trapped, and was saved both emotionally and physically by this hot goddamn priest, Søren.<br />
<br />
I mean seriously, descriptions of Søren? Lord Almighty, take me now.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>His voice, rich and resonant, echoed out to the very edges of the church and back again. His words wrapped around her like a golden cord binding her to him. The sanctuary brightened with each word he spoke as if the sun itself drew closer to hear his voice.</i></blockquote>

How do you not fall in love with a man who has a description of his <i>voice</i> like that? ONLY HIS VOICE MAN. Imagine the rest of him. Wow. He's like some kind of Greek god. Hell, he'll probably <i>define</i> a Greek god.<br />
<br />
Then Søren's also just so wow. WOW. Like honestly, WOW. He's so fucking sweet and thoughtful and oh my God, I'm in love with him.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Because there is nothing I wouldn't do to protect you, Eleanor. Nothing I wouldn't do to help you and nothing I wouldn't do to save you. Nothing."</i></blockquote>
and…<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"You're not fine, Eleanor. You're risking hypothermia and whatever you think of me right now, I'm not worth hurting yourself over."</i></blockquote>
Seriously? SERIOUSLY???<br />
<br />
This man is utter perfection.<br />
<br />
But really, Nora/Eleanor is my favorite heroine. EVER. Ever. Ever. EVER.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"What are you doing over here? Shouldn't you be all snuggled up in bed with Jesus?"</i></blockquote>
I can go on and on about this book and it would never be sufficient enough to describe it. Buy it. Read it. LOVE IT. <br />

Tiffany's books inhabit a sexy shadowy world where romance, erotica and literature meet and do immoral and possibly illegal things to each other. She describes her genre as "literary friction," a term she stole from her main character, who gets in trouble almost as often as the author herself.<br />
<br />
She lives in Portland, Oregon. If she couldn't write, she would die.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Twenty-eight year old Coco Thomas knows the recipe for disaster:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) Agree to plan last-minute engagement blowout for spoiled Mafia princess before you realize her choice of caterer is Nick Lupo, a despicably gorgeous young chef with a hot new restaurant in town, a reality TV show victory, and a romantic past with you—one that did not end well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) Strike a deal with Nick in which you agree to spend a weekend with him in exchange for his services, under the strict conditions there will be no talking about the past, no second chances, and definitely no sex.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) Violate all three conditions within 24 hours and spend two glorious days remembering what made you fall for the sexy, egotistical bastard in the first place, and why it hurt so much when he broke your heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Add one road trip, plenty of good scotch, and endless spoonfuls of chocolate cake batter drizzled over your body and licked off inch by oh-my-God-yes-right-there inch, then just admit it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You’re totally FORKED.</span><br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Melanie Harlow likes her martinis dry, her lipstick red, and her history with the naughty bits left in. Her stories are inspired by a sense of place, an appreciation for the past, and unexpected pleasures in life—especially the romantic kind. She lifts her glass to readers and writers from her home near Detroit, MI, where she lives with her husband and two daughters.</span></div>

<br />
Marlene Parker thought she met her soul mate at eighteen but when he left her pregnant and alone to pursue a life of rock n roll, she vowed to never love again. Now four years later, she is being offered the dream of a lifetime. Moving to France with her daughter to start anew. There is only one problem. Marlene’s formative ex is back in town, and his pull is strong as ever.<br />
<br />
Luke Anderson has everything a man could want. Fame, fortune and enough beautiful women to last him a lifetime. That is until a young runaway shows him what is truly important. Family. A word in which plagues Luke with regret. As a scared twenty two year old he ran away from the love of his life and their unborn child. Now ready to reverse his biggest regret with only three days to do it, Luke’s fate hangs in the balance. The question is, will he be able to convince Marlene their love story deserves a second chance?<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Different from the usually extremely angsty rockstar novels, <i>Love of a Rockstar</i> takes on a lighter tone that tells the tale of the rekindling fire between Marlene, a single mother swamped with work and the heavy weight of a child, and Luke, the man who abandoned them to pursue his career. It was a quick, fun read and I definitely love me a rockstar.<br />
<br />
Okay, let me start off with the good things.<br />
<br />
I love Marlene, love this woman. She's strong, independent. She can be stubborn as hell. She's sometimes too driven by love. But the effort she puts in into raising Nil is just admirable. Marlene put everything she wanted aside to take care of her daughter first.<br />
<br />
Then there's Luke. At first I thought he was a douche (and I still think that he didn't grovel enough), but then he became sweeter as he got along better with Nil and with Marlene. I mean, for fuck's sake, this guy abandoned his girlfriend when she got preggers. And she was going to go to LE CORDON BLEU!!! That's one of, if not the best, culinary school in the world.<br />
<br />
But then yeah, well, they fuck up. They kiss, they make up. And the story goes.<br />
<br />
Although I loved the characters dearly, there were some faults that I just couldn't let go.<br />
<br />
First of all, Marlene, like what the hell? Do you have that little willpower? I get that you're in love with him, but he <i>abandoned</i> you for Christ's sake, at least try to keep your vagina controlled until you get your emotions under control. I expected her to be either a) super upset, crying and she kicks him like out of the house for at least a couple of days or b) confront him, yell at him, like really blow up on him then have hot makeup sex.<br />
<br />
Then, Luke, he had some irrational anger scenes that I just wanted to smack him in and yell at him, "YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE MAD!" But anyway, moving on.<br />
<br />
If the book had more details into the relationship - or maybe alternated between two point of views - we'd at least see more of Luke's feelings to see that he's really serious.<br />
<br />
The grandma, I love though (even though the parallels between her relationship and Marlene's were just too improbable), her quotes! Especially these two:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"I believe in finding a man who can be your best friend, because once the lust fades, friendship is what will hold the foundation of your marriage together."</i></blockquote>
And ESPECIALLY this one:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"You young people all want to live in a romantic movie but life isn't like that. It's messy and at the end of the day you want your best friend at your side."</i></blockquote>
THIS! I'm just like, YES!<br />
<br />
Great read! </div>

<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">I stepped out of the limo into the frigid Seattle air. It had been almost four years since I came home and to be honest, my nerves were on edge. My fans screamed wildly as I gave them a quick wave and hustled inside for warmth. The elaborate entryway of the hotel reminded me how far I’d come since the beginning of my career. Back when I was a broke ass musician, I slept in the van along with the rest of my band mates. Then again, we partied more than we slept. Alcohol kept my nightmares at bay and my emotions numb. That was in the past though; now, I was a new man, ready to face the consequences of my actions. My gaze landed on the receptionist desk where my manager said Marlene worked. Sure enough, there was a woman at the counter who looked like her but her hair was different. Shorter, blunt at the edges with side swept bangs. As if the woman could feel my eyes on her, she glanced up. I knew it was Marlene by the shocked expression on her face. As if she was seeing a ghost. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">Just to double check, I took a step closer. “M?” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">At the term of endearment, her tooth snagged her bottom lip and that was all I needed. My heart turned over in my chest as I looked at the woman who had haunted my dreams. Her face was the same, still uniquely beautiful. However, being a mother brought out an inner glow. Like the first time I saw Marlene, it was as if I was staring at the sun. Happiness warmed my soul. It was obvious she didn’t feel the same. Her wide-eyed stare turned into one of panic and my gut told me she was about to bolt. Quickly, I strode over but it was too late. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">I held out my hand to stop her. “Wait,” I yelled. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">Marlene’s long leg’s sprinted toward the women’s restroom where she disappeared inside. I knew </span><span style="font-family: 'Bodoni MT', serif;">I should have told her I was in Seattle instead of surprising her. My manager clasped her hand on my shoulder. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">“What are you staring at?” She asked. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">My eyes willed for the door to open and for Marlene to re-emerge. I was borderline desperate to hear her musical voice again. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">“This time she was the one who ran away.” I murmured </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">I heard a smile in my manager’s voice. “So what are you going to do?” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">“I’m going to wait.” </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Bodoni MT, serif;">Four years ago, I walked out on the family I could have had. It would take a miracle for Marlene to forgive me and let me be a part of my daughter’s life. Nonetheless, I was ready for the challenge. They were everything I had left. </span></div>

<b>Book 1 in the NA rock star series, Lost in Oblivion</b><br />
<br />
<i>Love definitely wasn't on the setlist.</i><br />
<br />
Opening for their idols on their first tour, Oblivion is living the dream. Mostly. Frustrated at being shoved out of his mediator role by their new manager, Deacon McCoy loses himself in brutal workouts. He only comes up for air long enough to refuel—and to tease the deliciously cute chef who makes him crave a lot more than what she's offering on her serving plate.<br />
<br />
As the child of roadie parents, Harper Pruitt has heard every pickup line twice. To her, musicians are one step above the scraps on her cutting board. All she wants is to get enough experience to run her own catering company, but Deacon and his bottomless stomach are too tempting to resist. He's far from the typical rock star and before long, she finds herself experimenting with him, inside and out of the kitchen.<br />
<br />
Apron - and panties - optional.<br />
<br />
When Harper sees that Deacon’s dream band with his best friends may be turning into a nightmare, she can't walk away. Deacon's so much more than just a peacemaker and the man behind the bass. But she has her own dreams to chase...even if she's starting to think what she's building with him might be the biggest one of all.</div>

Holy shit, <i>Rocked</i> most definitely rocked my world. The characters were fucking fantastic, both ambitious, practical and romantic. It was intense, fast-paced (in a good way) and it just progressed with more hot sex and even more saccharine sweet scenes. I absolutely loved it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Shit, wow, this was another impressive rockstar romance. Wow. It just blew my mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
You've got the assholes in a band, you've got the guys who can't put their dicks in their pants, and then you've got the logical, sweet ones. That's Deacon McCoy for you. Hot damn, this man can melt anyone's panties. He's big (both his package and his "package"), rational as he is the brains of the group, possessive, fantastic in bed, gives multiple orgasms, what more could you ask for?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Oh and did I mention he's a rockstar???</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
HOLY FUCK!!! Ugh, he's the bassist and he's so. fucking. hot. and. sweet. and. perfect. and. I just wanna eat him up. And he's so cute with Harper:</div>

<br />
That's such a weird gif but so damn accurate.<br />
<br />
Anyway, then we've got Harper. I like this girl too. She's sassy, sweet, and she cooks! Don't go all sexist on me now. But seriously, she grew up with roadie parents and loved to travel. She was perfect to be one of the chefs to go on tour with Oblivion (how sexy is that band name?) and Rebel Rage. She can handle the rockstars that come with the package. But she did not expect Deacon.<br />
<br />
Harper's had a plan that she's stuck to for the past God knows how many years. She knew what she wanted and she's going for it. But then Deacon entering her life somewhat wrecked her plans. She didn't think that the tour fling would turn into a forever kind of thing (hey that rhymed).<br />
<br />
But they both knew the sizzling connection between them and, although Harper was initially in denial, they both managed to work it all out just fine. They have a sweet, funny kind of relationship and I love that!<br />

USA Today bestselling author Cari Quinn wrote her first story—a bible parable—in 2nd grade, much to the delight of the nuns at her Catholic school. Once she saw the warm reception that first tale garnered, she was hooked. Now she gets to pen sexy romances for a living and routinely counts her lucky stars. When she’s not scribbling furiously, she can usually be found watching men’s college basketball, playing her music way too loud or causing trouble. Sometimes simultaneously.</div>

In this sequel to <i>Wallbanger</i>, the second book in the Cocktail series, fan favorites Caroline and Simon negotiate the rollercoaster of their new relationship while house-sitting in San Francisco.<br />
<br />
Playing house was never so much fun—or so confusing. With her boss on her honeymoon, Caroline’s working crazy long hours to keep the interior design company running—especially since she’s also the lead designer for the renovation of a gorgeous old hotel on Sausalito. So with her hotshot photographer boyfriend gallivanting all over the world for his job, she and Simon are heavy-duty into “absence makes the heart grow fonder” mode. Neither has any complaints about the great reunion sex, though! Then Simon decides he’s tired of so much travelling, and he’s suddenly home more. A lot more. And wanting Caroline home more, too. Though their friends’ romantic lives provide plenty of welcome distraction, eventually Caroline and Simon have to sort their relationship out. Neither wants “out of sight, out of mind,” but can they create their own happy mid-ground cliché?<br />
<br />
<i>USA TODAY</i> bestselling author Alice Clayton delivers another delicious, frothy cocktail of a book, shaking up her characters, stirring in laugh-out-loud humor, and serving sizzling romance straight up!<br />

Alice Clayton returns in <i>Rusty Nailed</i> with a hilarious novel starring our favorite duo – the smoking hot free-lance photographer, Simon "Wallbanger" Parker, and the fabulous, KitchenAid Mixer lover, Caroline Reynolds. Here, they face much more mature problems about commitment, relationships, friendships, and most importantly, the future. As the stakes are higher with their love for each other, they risk so much more to lose, but everything would be worth it in the end.<br />
<br />
AAAAAH, HE'S BACK, LADIES!!! Goddamn, Lord knows I love how much I love my Wallbanger. Although I must admit it wasn't as funny as <i>Wallbanger</i> (because wow nothing can beat that, okay, like ever), but this sequel was just fantastic!<br />
<br />
Simon is still same old, same old. But, of course, he matures significantly in this novel. We see as he faces his past once and for all and is getting ready to really build a life with Caroline. He becomes super sweet and even schmexier. Despite his maturity, he's still got his Wallbanger traits.<br />

<br />
Yes, please, baby.<br />
<br />
Anyway, while Simon's ready to settle down, Caroline's work is becoming more and more intense. Jillian's away on her undecided-end-date honeymoon, thus she is taking over for the meantime and that meant no more free-time, skipping lunches, and locking up the office everyday. With everything going on and Simon getting on her nerves (mainly because she panics in her head), Caroline becomes more worried with each day.<br />
<br />
However, in spite of all their differences and conflicts, they're still the same couple we all know and love.<br />

Novelist Alice Clayton makes her home in St. Louis where she enjoys gardening but not weeding, baking but not cleaning up after, and is trying desperately to get her long-time boyfriend to make her an honest woman–and please buy her a Bernese Mountain dog.<br />
After working for years in the cosmetics industry as a makeup artist, esthetician, and educator, Alice picked up a pen (read laptop) for the first time at 33 to begin a new career: author. Having never written anything longer than a grocery list, she soon found writing to be the creative outlet she’d been missing since walking away from the theater 10 years before.<br />
<br />
She has a great time combining her love of storytelling with a sense of silly, and she was shocked and awed to be nominated for a Goodreads Author award in 2010 for her debut novels, the first two installments of The Redhead Series–The Unidentified Redhead and The Redhead Revealed. Her latest novel Wallbanger is a return to her trademark comedic erotica, or funny smut, that Alice has become known for.<br />
<br />
Additionally, Alice loves spending time with her besties on Not Your Mother’s Podcast (check them out on iTunes) and has recently partnered with actor Greg Grunberg, blogger Brittany Gibbons, and actress Keili Lefkovitz on a new travel show that will begin filming in January.<br />
<br />
Alice enjoys pickles, Bloody Marys, eight hours of sleep and a good pounding.</div>

Lies. Betrayal. A double life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lola Anders isn’t who she seems. Two years ago she ran away from a dangerous life she’d been living since she way born in order to stay alive. She changed her name and reinvented herself into a good girl… at least part of the time anyway. A secretary by day and an escort by night, Lola lives a double life in order to maintain balance and survive. And things are going well, until a ghost from her past shows up out of nowhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sexy and dangerous Layton Everett enters Lola’s life again without warning. Not only does Layton know who Lola really is but he also used to work for her family’s sworn enemy . Lola worries he’s shown up to finish the hit put on her two years ago, so she tries to stay away from him, but it’s difficult when he seems to be everywhere. Plus, she’s attracted to him more than she likes to admit.</div>

<span style="color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.96306800842285px;">Jessica Sorensen has always blown me away with her work. When the blurb sounds so simple, the story is extraordinary. So, with an amazing blurb like this one, I'm definitely expecting so much!</span></span></div>

Sometimes you can’t change—and
sometimes you just don’t want to. Discover Ben’s side of the story in this
fourth novel by the beloved, top-selling indie author of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ten Tiny breaths, One Tiny Lie, </i>and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Four Seconds to Lose.</i><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
Purple-haired, sharp-tongued
Reese MacKay knows all about making the wrong choice; she’s made plenty of them
in her twenty-odd-years. So when her impulsive, short-lived marriage ends in
heartbreak, she decides it’s time for a change. She moves to Miami with the
intention of hitting reset on her irresponsible life, and she does quite
well…aside from an epically humiliating one-night stand in Cancun with a hot
blond bouncer named Ben. Thank God she can get on a plane and leave <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that</i> mistake behind her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
Football scholarship and frat
parties with hot chicks? Part of charmer Ben Morris’s plan. Blown knee that
kills any hope of a professional football career? <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">So</i> not part of the plan. Luckily Ben has brains to go with his
knockout looks and magnetism. After three long years of balancing law school
with his job as a bouncer at Penny’s Palace, he’s ready to lead a more mature
life—until his first day of work, when he finds himself in the office of that
crazy, hot chick he met in Cancun. The one he hasn’t stopped thinking about.<o:p></o:p></div>

If Ben truly were a smart guy,

Born in small-town Ontario, Kathleen published her first book at the age of six with the help of her elementary school librarian and a box of crayons. She is a voracious reader and the farthest thing from a genre-snob, loving everything from High Fantasy to Chick Lit. Kathleen currently resides in a quaint small town outside of Toronto with her husband, two beautiful girls, and an exhausting brood of four-legged creatures.</div>

Ben<br />
<br />
I love the angry ones.<br />
<br />
Of course, anyone who knows me would argue that I love any and all women, and I can’t exactly disagree. But I love the angry ones the most. They’re a challenge to be conquered, the reason for their fury usually fitting neatly into three buckets: insecure, scorned, hormonal.<br />
<br />
And this chick gazing up at me with fire in her caramel eyes?<br />
<br />
I’m betting on bucket number two.<br />
<br />
“My, what an awfully bright <i>red</i> shirt you have on,” she pushes out between gritted teeth, as if she’s trying to be polite but can’t hide her disdain.<br />
<br />
I didn’t know what I was walking into when the punk-rock chick with the crazy-ass muscular body waved us over, but her friend with the purple hair and her back to me had me intrigued. Now that I’m getting a good look at her face, I know who I’m spending my last night with in Cancún. She’s not what some would call traditionally “pretty.” Her eyes are slightly too big and far apart, her nose is slightly too long and slender, and her lips—though nice and wide—are on the thin side. Yet something about all of that put together makes her sexy as hell. Maybe it’s the little nose ring. Or maybe it’s the way her decent-sized tits are pressing up against me, her low V-neck tank top—a casual shirt, telling me she’s not trying to pick anyone up—giving me a fine view of her cleavage. Whatever it is, my dick is certainly pleased. “You like it?” I ask.<br />
<br />
An irritated glare flickers to the material. “No.”<br />
<br />
I can’t help but chuckle at her candor. “Will you at least give me a head start before you gore me?”<br />
<br />
Those thin lip curls into a condescending smirk. “Bulls don’t see color. That’s a myth.”<br />
<br />
The only thing I love more than an angry girl is a <i>smart</i>, angry girl.<br />
<br />
This is going to be fun.<br />
<br />
“Well, how about I solve the problem for you.” I take a step back from her and swiftly yank my shirt off, exposing six days of suntanned skin and an upper body that I know looks damn appealing because I work my ass off to keep it that way. The random catcalls from the tables around confirm it.<br />
<br />
And then I simply stand there and grin like the cocky ass that I am as Angry Girl can’t keep her eyes from scanning the muscles I’ve honed since my college football days, her lips parting ever so subtly. I see the shift in her, the moment where she realizes that, though she’d prefer to castrate the entire male species right now, she can’t ignore her attraction to me.<br />
<br />
At least, that’s what I want to see.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
An amazing, beautifully written book that captivated me from the first page. The characters were so fantastically weaved and the plot was just wonderfully developed from beginning till end. No rush, no prolongation, just the right pace. The ending, although frustrating, was the perfect kind of closure for a book like this.<br />
<br />
Okay, before I go into a frustrated rant about the ending, let me talk about the wonderful points about the book.<br />
<br />
Paige has probably never really been on fate's good side. I mean, her fiancé died honorably but it left her a mess. Then her father getting Alzheimer's at an early age. Yet she stays strong throughout all of this clusterfuck. Let me just clap for her because wow, this woman.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then we have Adam. He was sweet, so fucking sweet. I really don't know how to talk about him without spoiling anything about his past or his present for that matter. But anyway, he has a serious case which is almost incurable.<br />
<br />
I really like this guy. Like really really like him. All his sides. AGH so frustrating because I can't spoil it.<br />
<br />
But anyway, wow this story was so complex and tiring mentally. But it was so beautiful that I was just hung on it from the beginning till the end.<br />
<br />
Really, you should pick up this book.<br />
<br />
Honestly, there's nothing really wrong with the ending. I'm just more of a big fan of a grand happily ever after but well… anyway. It was a hard ending to deal with but it was more about acceptance and moving on with life. It was the kind of ending that fit well with the book so, even though I was slightly mad (while I was sobbing), it was a great "<i>the end"</i>.</div>

<b>Today, I have the lovely Reese Monroe here for an interview! Check it out below:</b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Sam</i>: </b>Hi there, Melissa. My first question for you would be, what made you want to write in this genre? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Melissa: </b>I didn't necessarily set out to write a romance novel. My previous books were in the dystopian genre and <i>Rainfall</i> is very different, but it is essentially the story that captivates me. When a concept occurs to me that is original, I write the story and let the genre fall where it may. <i>Rainfall</i> was such a novel idea, and I couldn't let it pass!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Sam</i>: </b>Wow! That's just fantastic. Why did you make your characters in such a way? Is there an inspiration for them?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Melissa: </b>I love my characters, and try to always give them depth and dimension, so that the reader can connect with them. Every one of my books features a strong female lead, I think it's my mother's influence – she always taught me to be independent and make my own way, so in a way, my characters embody everything she aspired for me to become.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Sam</i>: </b>And we did get a strong female lead in <i>Rainfall</i>. Kudos to you for that! Do you have any upcoming projects you're really looking forward to?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Melissa: </b>I am currently under deadline to complete the final book in <i>The Legacy Trilogy</i>, so I am very busy with that. I also have another romance idea that has been niggling in the back of my mind, so once <i>The Legend</i> is complete, I hope to turn my attention to that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Sam</i>: </b>We'll be looking forward to that, definitely. One last question: If you weren't writing, what else would you be doing?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Melissa: </b>Reading! I am a book worm, so I suppose I would probably have my own blog doing book reviews. Sadly, as an author, I am not able to read as voraciously as I used to, because it is difficult not to be influenced by other writers. Originality is very important to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><i>Sam</i>: </b>It is too to readers. Thank you for being here today!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
Melissa is also the self-published author of the stand-alone novels Rainfall and The Traveler (available on Amazon).<br />
<br />
An avid reader herself, Melissa finally decided to stop ‘watching from the sidelines’ and to do what is her passion.<br />
<br />
“I was driving home from work when inspiration struck, and a storyline started unravelling in my head. For a few days, it was all I could think about and eventually I realised that the only way to get it out of my head, was to put it all down on paper. I started writing, and that was that.”<br />

<i>Onto every diva’s backside, a little wood must fall.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Lights, Camera, Book 2</i><br />
<br />
Hollywood actress Heather Wainwright was looking forward to a long, relaxing break before starting her next shoot. Except her assistant volunteered her for L.A.’s annual 24 Hour Plays.<br />
<br />
Nervous about doing a good job for such a worthy charity, Heather falls back on “diva” mode, a defense mechanism that always carries her through. Until she encounters something that really gets on her nerves—a lowly carpenter whose Norse god eyes pierce right through her.<br />
<br />
Highly sought-after production designer Seth Rafferty has little patience for A-listers with superior attitudes, which is why his attraction to Heather is absurd. Yet, sensing vulnerability beneath her screen-queen act, he lets her assumptions play out.<br />
<br />
After the wrap party, Heather awakens with little memory of the night before—except that Seth gave her the best orgasm of her life, then disappeared. When he shows up on the set of her next movie, she winds up to give him a piece of her mind…and Seth shows her just how stinging hot “chemistry” can get.<br />
<br />
Warning: Contains an outwardly snobby actress with a good heart, a delicious carpenter with a power drill, some much-deserved spanking, and an appropriately consensual—if tipsy—orgasm, as well as sex at an inappropriate time of the month.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A turbulent relationship between a smoking hot man who knows how to work his drill and a superstar who puts up a façade to hide her past? Sign me up! This book did not emphasize the problems of the Hollywood life but instead focuses on the romance and the connection between two people who seemed so different yet they were so alike. <br />
<br />
Wow, another fantabulous book by Laurelin Paige! I mean, holy crap, the sexual connection between the two were off. the. charts!!!<br />
<br />
Gotta be honest though, Heather wasn't as cool as Maddie. Heather pissed me the fuck off. She was too stuck up of a grade-A bitch. Yes, supposedly it's because of her past bla bla bla. No excuses. She was a chicken and it pissed me off. Even the final fight. I'm just like, "Woman, you brought it on yourself so don't put it on him."<br />
<br />
But anyhow, Seth on the other hand.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="http://cdn4.gurl.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/sad-gif.gif" height="180" width="320" /></div>
<br />
He's a man who's built so much from so little. He's forgiving, romantic, stubborn at times, but definitely determined. If I were him, I wouldn't have put up with Heather's shit. But he's so goddamn forgiving because he knew that there was something in Heather worth keeping. HE'S JUST SO GODDAMN SWEET I CANNOT.<br />
<br />
The book wasn't that long so I enjoyed a little short story. Great book!<br />

Laurelin Paige is the NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Fixed Trilogy. She's a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there's kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn't seem to complain, however. When she isn't reading or writing sexy stories, she's probably singing, watching Mad Men and the Walking Dead, or dreaming of Adam Levine.</div>

<b>Kylie Scott returns with the highly anticipated follow-up to international bestseller Lick. </b><br />
<br />
Mal Ericson, drummer for the world famous rock band Stage Dive, needs to clean up his image fast—at least for a little while. Having a good girl on his arm should do the job just fine. Mal doesn’t plan on this temporary fix becoming permanent, but he didn’t count on finding the one right girl.<br />
<br />
Anne Rollins never thought she’d ever meet the rock god who plastered her teenage bedroom walls—especially not under these circumstances. Anne has money problems. Big ones. But being paid to play the pretend girlfriend to a wild life-of-the-party drummer couldn’t end well. No matter how hot he is. Or could it?</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>"Life's a song, Anne. Let's play."</i></b></div>

Aaaah, another hot rockstar to add to my list of hot book boyfriends! Mal was fucking hilarious in <i>Lick </i>and so, for him to get his own book, I just screamed. He's just as adorably funny but this time, he's also a romantic. His connection with Anne was all over the place and they were so fucking cute together. Loved the characters, loved the book!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
OHMYGOD MAL ERICSON!!! Sweet Jesus, this man made me (metaphorically) pee my pants like 200 times throughout this book.</div>

Mal, please. I just can't with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
But anyway, Mal had problems and he needed an escape from all that. He had a lot of problems with his family and so, when he met Anne, it all changed. He changed. Well, some of him at least. He's still the same guy we all know and love. The texts he shared with Anne were so fucking funny oh my God. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
And it's all different with Anne. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
<i>"You're good for me. You take me any mood I come in. I don't have to be always happy or on around you. You roll with any shit I say and give as good as you get. You don't let me push you around with it if it doesn't suit you and you haven't asked me to buy you a fucking thing."</i></blockquote>
GOOOOD, THEY'RE SO CUTE TOGETHER.<br />
<br />
And then Anne is the sweet one in this case. She's the sweeter one and she got screwed over. So when she met Mal, it's all different for her.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Life here and now with Mal was a roller coaster. Scary and elating. No amtter how strange the circumstances, I was going to enjoy this time.</i></blockquote>
Ugh, too fucking adorable.<br />
<br />
LOOOVED IT!!!<br />

Kylie is a long time fan of erotic love stories and B-grade horror films. She demands a happy ending and if blood and carnage occur along the way then all the better. Based in Queensland, Australia with her two children and one delightful husband, she reads, writes and never dithers around on the internet.<br />
