Unforgivable ~ Isabel Love

There are certain things that are unforgivable…

Falling for your brother’s best friend is one of them.

That isn’t the worst thing I’ve ever done, though.

Not even close.

Shame and guilt follow me everywhere.

Except when I’m with him.

With him, I can breathe again.

Smile again. Love again.

But he doesn't know what I've done.

Loved this book so much!! 

It was real, it was raw and I devoured it once I had the courage to read it..

I was not a fan of Ana's ~ based on what I knew from her from Charlie's book so of course just hearing one side of the story I made my mind up and picked sides.. just like that!

Isn't that we all do?

I felt horrible after reading and getting the gist of it.. her side of everything especially what Wesley went through.. Young puppy love, sacrifice, life in all it's ugliness..

Unforgivable was so different from the other 2 books I've read by Isabel Love..

and it was just as amazing in it's own Unique way!

Ruckus (Sinners of Saint #2) ~ L.J. Shen

Rosie

They say that life is a beautiful lie and death a painful truth. They're right.
No one has ever made me feel more alive than the guy who serves as a constant reminder that my clock is ticking.
He is my forbidden, shiny apple. The striking fallacy to my blunt, raw, truth.
He is also my sister's ex-boyfriend.
One thing you should know before you judge me;
I saw him first. I craved him first. I loved him first.
Eleven years later, he waltzes into my life, demanding a second chance.
Dean Cole wants to be my bronze horseman.
But my clock is ticking. See, I’m not like the rest. I have an illness.
Sometimes I conquer it.
Sometimes it conquers me.
My white knight has finally arrived.
Hopefully, he isn’t too late.

This was a fantastic read!!!

The story was not what I was expecting.. but everything I wanted.. needed.

Rosie was a danger to herself in my opinion she lived her life as if there weren't going to be any consequences to her decisions - well only to herself really.. she definitely pissed me off more than a few times.. She was trying to be independent when she didn't have a pot to piss in.. did reference to all the sacrifices those around her that loved her made but really truly didn't acknowledge until it was almost too late..

I can see where she meant well but just her stubbornness wouldn't let her see past her diagnosis..

Dean "Ruckus" was a danger to those around him with his self destructive behavior and that naughty mouth of his.

This guy had secrets.. Secrets that kept him hidden behind this perfect disguise.. He had so many different personas and showed everyone the side he knew they needed to see until Rosie!

She was always there in his thoughts and the angst when it came to these two was a gut clincher..

An absolute must read..

It had it all a yummy dirty talking bad boy, engaging plot, dark humor, relate-able situations and an awesome Epilogue..

The Debt ~ Karina Halle

Her life changed in an instant. 

And he's the only one who could have prevented it. 

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Pact and The Lie comes a new standalone contemporary romance about those McGregor men. 

Jessica Charles shouldn't have even been in London when the unthinkable happened. 

She should have been back at home in Edinburgh, perhaps hanging with her boyfriend, preparing the baby shower for her sister or doing yoga with her group of friends. She should have been going on in her normal, dependable life as always. 

But on that fateful day in August, when a mentally-ill ex-soldier opened fire in public, Jessica's world changed forever. 

Now single and crippled from the gunshot wounds, Jessica finds herself scared and alone, losing faith in herself and humanity with each agonizing moment that passes. 

That is until a stranger enters her life. A stranger who makes her live again. 

Keir McGregor has always been the strong, silent type. Throw in tall, dark, and handsome and you've got pretty much the perfect Scotsman. 

Except Keir is anything but perfect. He's got a past he's running away from and a guilty conscience he can't seem to shed. But the more time he spends with Jessica, the more he falls in love with her. 

And the more his secret threatens to tear them apart. 

He may have been a stranger to her. 

But she’s never been a stranger to him.

What an amazing story.. I FELT the connection between these two broken characters
right from the start..
This one blew it right out of the park!!

The opening to this story was gut wrenching and utterly raw..
we hear about it on the news so much more frequent now..
I for one always wondered about the survivors of these horrendous radical crimes ..
what of the family and friends of the offender.. how it all impacts everyone involved..
How could anyone deal with this not just physically but mentally!

Guilt is a very ugly thing - something that can consume you.. mix that with lies & secrets and you have a concoction you might never be able to run away from!!

I won't get into the story other than to stay I absolutely loved it..
It was so beautiful to see Jessica and Keir slowly fall in love but I was also on the edge of my seat waiting for all hell to break loose and the shit hit the fan!!

It was emotional, real, raw, sexy, inspiring and the feels just kept coming out of everywhere!!
It's a must read for Karina Halle fans she's out done herself again!!

Unexpected Circumstances Book Seven: The Devastation ~ Shay Savage

Although Branford is broken and desperate, he finds himself with no choice: He must declare war against Hadebrand, or Edgar’s evil darkness will envelop the commonwealth. Silverhelm’s army is grossly outnumbered, but Branford underestimates the people’s love for their commoner queen.

With their murderous intentions, the treacherous King Edgar and Princess Whitney must pay for what they have done. They must not be allowed to destroy everything the people hold dear.

He sees only one path: the annihilation of his enemy.

Abso~freaking~lutely Fantastic!!!

This was the FINAL installment and what an ending..

I definitely got my historical Romance fix with this.. But it was unique to anything I've read before it had a mix of suspense and mystery.. It had angst, it had heart break, it had some really Hot scenes..

I was hooked from the first book with Alexandra's innocence's and Brandford's need for vengeance what a pair those two would make.

If you've been following this series as I have it's been a nail biter, 

Kindle flinging, edge of your seat type of read!! with all the cliff hangers and jaw dropping moments..

Shay Savage has managed to wow me yet again!!

Obviously there were some upset readers.. I was one of them as well but hey the story kept true to what she wanted and I have to say as gut wrenching as some parts were to get through I devoured Every. Single. Moment of it and to be honest I wouldn't want to change a thing.

I won't get into the story but I will end this short and to the point review by saying I felt SO much while reading this series and that's something that I always crave when I pick up a book!!

So beware because there were triggers and situations some will NOT LIKE but in the end to each their own!

I LOVED IT!!!

Stuck-Up Suit ~ Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

It started out like any other morning on the train.

Until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle.

He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world.

Who did the stuck-up suit think he was…God?

Actually, he looked like a God. That was about it.

When his stop came, he got up suddenly and left. So suddenly, he dropped his phone on the way out.

I might have picked it up.

I might have gone through all of his photos and called some of the numbers.

I might have held onto the mystery man’s phone for days—until I finally conjured up the courage to return it.

When I traipsed my ass across town to his fancy company, he refused to see me.

So, I left the phone on the empty desk outside the arrogant jerk’s office.

I might have also left behind a dirty picture on it first though. 

I didn’t expect him to text back.

I didn’t expect our exchanges to be hot as hell.

I didn’t expect to fall for him—all before we even met.

The two of us couldn’t have been any more different. 

Yet, you know what they say about opposites.

When we finally came face to face, we found out opposites sometimes do more than attract—we consumed each other.

Nothing could have prepared me for the ride he took me on.  And I certainly wasn’t prepared for where I’d wind up when the ride was over.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

What a Fun, Sweet, Funny, Sassy read!!

Soraya never thought she'd need a man to make her feel whole per say..

She was independent and loyal but just had some serious bad luck when it came to dating..

most of which were set ups and blind dates her sister and friends sent her on..

Off the bat this story drew me in..

These two were total opposites but both had nothing to hide when thrust into the others world..

Event's took place that would have sent even me running so I really couldn't fault Soraya for decisions made which were all with good intentions..

Graham was just this broody, business shark that couldn't keep an assistant for more than a week due to his cranky, mean demeanor.. One he used as a shield.. 

Although Soraya was very easily able to cut through with her witty sarcasm and quick responses..

So many Laugh Out Load moments, with endearing heart warming ones..

It was like watching a Soap Opera..

Yea about that.... hahaha never mind you'll see *giggles*

I read this entire book with a grin..

I'm sure you will too!!

Warning: This book hero is over- the-top obsessed, totally head over heels in love, and desperate to make babies with the heroine ASAP. If you want a fun read with SUPER hot steam, Kindle-melting love, and a beard to rub between thighs, then this book is for you.

Alexa Riley is an auto buy author for me..

I don't even read the blurbs anymore!!

They're fun, sexy, hot, over the top cheesy at times 

For those readers that do not take lightly to cheating these would be perfect.

These men have eyes for their woman and only their woman..

So who cares if you get Insta-Love within the first chapter..

Who cares if every heroine is a virgin..

Who cares some of them have ridiculously over the top Alphas

THEY ARE FUN & HOT

and I need those types of reads.. a quick smutty read in between does me good!!

Keep writing and I'll keep reading!!

So here's my warning..

They will Turn You On!

The Enforcer (Untamed Hearts, #3) ~ Kele Moon

They are the lost boys.

Sons of mafia mistresses expected to keep their fathers’ sins in the shadows. The lucky ones are forgotten.

Unfortunately for Valentino “Tino” Moretti, his brother Nova was too smart to be forgotten, and too valuable to risk when he resists a life of crime. So they punished Tino instead. Forced into the cruel world of the Sicilian Mafia at twelve, Tino was broken before he was old enough to know the man he was supposed to be. Now he’s what the mafia made him.

The enforcer.

A trained killer forbidden to love, but he did anyway. He's loved Brianna all along.

Raw and beautiful, their romance was all consuming and far too dangerous. They were ripped apart a long time ago. It’s not until the borgata puts out a hit on her that Brianna falls back into Tino’s arms, churning up their dark past and unraveling all the Moretti brothers’ closely guarded secrets.

This isn’t the end of the story. It’s only the beginning, and it is brutal.

There’s a reason enforcers are considered too deadly to love.

This story has wrecked me!! I laughed, I cried, I bitched

One never knows what a person has gone through by just looking at them..

Family is everything to Tino.. Not just his brother's but those he consider's true friends

The bond and loyalty Tino has displayed over and over again, words could never describe..

He's all about actions and sacrifice!!

He was broken as a child and practically forced into a lifestyle he had no other choice but take on or risk not being there for his brothers.. He carried so much on his shoulders at such an early age,, and basically got the shorter end of the stick every single time he drew!!!

Brianna was his oasis in the dry and dissolute world he found himself stranded in..

And that too was ripped away without his even realizing it!!

Lies, Deception, Secrets..

Will Tino ever get his HEA?

Will Brianna be strong enough to take on what's to come?

I sure as hell hope so... 

I need part 2 NOW!!!
