Restoring Jordan ~ Elizabeth Finn

Restoring Jordan by Elizabeth Finn
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb:

When Adeline Parker decides to celebrate landing a coveted internship at one of Chicago’s most prestigious architectural firms by indulging in a brutally dark and handsome man, she gets more than she bargained for.

Lost in a maze of hallways on the first day of her new position, she stumbles headlong into a boardroom of suits. Very expensive suits. They are the somebodies of this prestigious firm, and she is, by all accounts, the very definition of a nobody. And sitting at the table with the rest of the principals from the firm is a man—the very man who unwittingly deflowered her only days before.

From the look of it, Jordan Ellinwood is none too happy to see her again; by his own admission, he’s a one-night-stand man, and the fact she conned him into taking her virginity isn’t sitting well with him either. But as her path is inextricably attached to his, their closeness will no longer be a choice.

As an intern, she’s off-limits, and that says nothing of the fact he’s twelve years older than she is. But when coworkers bent on jealousy and resentment threaten her reputation and internship, the long-dormant emotions Jordan has so effectively stifled fight to break free. And as he struggles to get out of his own way long enough to let her see his compassion, her career is jeopardized and leaves him fighting with every last ounce of himself to save her.

Will it be enough? Can he overcome his emotional shortcomings in time to rescue her future and his own—now so very attached to hers?

My Review:

4.5 I want a Hero like Jordan stars!!

Here's another one of those books you want to kick yourself for waiting so long to read.

From beginning to end it kept me engaged and had a great flow..

Even though Jordan wasn't able to voice his Feelings, his every action screamed his Love!

Adeline was shy but stood her ground with Jordan even though at times I wanted her to be as strong when it came to confronting her peers.. but I was able to understand her insecurities.

The Super Sizzling smex scene's which I've come to look forward to in Elizabeth Finn's books did not disappoint!!!

I anxiously look forward to her next story..

All in All a Perfect read!!

Twelfth Night ~ Kallista Dane

Twelfth Night by Kallista Dane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb:

It's Christmas Eve and Kayla still doesn't have a special gift for her husband Matt. Times have been tough. Money is scarce. But money isn't their only problem. Matt has been cold and distant. Kayla's been stressed, losing her temper and taking her frustrations out on Matt.

Her conversation with an old man sparks an idea - she'll give Matt 12 envelopes on Christmas Eve, holding the promise of twelve erotic nights, each one naughtier than the last.

Matt has his own idea. He's determined to take charge at home. From now on, if Kayla acts like a child, throwing temper tantrums, he'll treat her like a child - even if it means yanking her over his lap for an old-fashioned bare bottom spanking every time.

Will living out Kayla's forbidden fantasies bring them closer together? Or will it be Matt's firm hand on her bottom?

Married for Christmas (Willow Park #1) ~ Noelle Adams

Married for Christmas by Noelle Adams
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb:

After years of dreaming, Jessica is finally getting married, but the marriage isn't exactly what she thought.

Daniel is her best friend, and she's known him all her life, but he's never gotten over losing his wife two years ago. His dream is to become the pastor of the church in their hometown, but the small-town congregation keeps balking over calling an unmarried minister. Since Daniel needs a wife and Jessica wants a husband and family, she proposes an arrangement that benefits both of them.

They can get married. They can build a life together. They can celebrate Christmas as a couple. It's fine that he doesn't love her. And it's fine that she's not exactly suited to be a small-town pastor's wife. And it's fine that she's more attracted to her sexy, brooding husband every day.

Jessica can be practical about this marriage. She knows what she's getting into, after all...

This book includes fully-developed sex scenes between a husband and wife.

My Review:

3.5 star read!!

Heart felt, warm and spiritual!

This was a beautiful Friends to Lovers story with a non-conventional marriage twist..











Daniel was a Pastor and recent young widow. He hasn't been able to get over his tragic sudden loss, but won't let that get in his way of doing his job and being there for others.









Jessica was focused on her career and didn't give much thought to marriage since the only person she would have considered perfect was already taken. An unfortunate event brought her closer to her Best Friend and she's done everything possible to be supportive and understanding










Daniel & Jessica come to an agreement and marry for the convenience of it. She wants a family which he could provide and He needs to be a family man if he wants to be respected further in his congregation and it doesn't hurt that their best friends already and have a history of memories and do Love each other, but just not in that way or so they thought!











The story was pretty steamy and a bit angsty at parts when Daniela or Jessica would pull away due to the uncertainty of their feelings.. The Holidays and some Life altering events brought to light what should have been from the first.. They truly were meant to be together!

At Any Price (Gaming the System #1) ~ Brenna Aubrey

Achievement Unlocked: Geek Virgin

When Mia Strong, proud geek-girl and popular gaming blogger, auctions off her virginity online, she knows she'll make waves. But what she will not be making is a love connection. Her rules are set in stone: One night. No further contact.

It's a desperate step, but it's the only way she can go to medical school and pay her mother's mounting hospital bills.

Difficulty Level: Millionaire CEO 

Adam Drake, the enigmatic auction winner, is a software prodigy who made his first million at seventeen. Now, in his mid-twenties, he's sexy, driven and--as CEO of his own gaming company--he's used to making the rules. Before Mia knows what's happening, he's found the loophole in the rules of her auction. Every stipulation she's made to protect her heart gets tossed by the wayside.

She can't tell if he's playing her...or if he's playing for keeps.

3.5 Geek-a-licious Star Read!!!

At any Price had a different spin and I very much enjoyed the story line! There were certain things I didn’t understand due to the gaming aspect of it but none the less it was interesting and funny to read about.

Mia was this naturaly beautiful, loving, hardworking med student shouldering more than she could obviously handle and came up with this master plan, to help herself and mother out of their money issues. Although her mother was kept in the dark of her master plan to auction off her Virginity!

Adam Drake is a child prodigy, genius, super yummy, self-made billionaire and Adam was the highest bidder. He has an Alpha undertone that I enjoyed reading about and as the reader could see he had baggage and quit a few skeletons in his closet.

These two were broken in their own ways and both had to learn how to open up and put it out there if they truly wanted to have a future. There were cute moment s and I can’t wait to see what will come of their new found trust’s….

Wild ~ Adriane Leigh

Wild by Adriane Leigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Blurb:

Kat Kennedy moved to the rugged coast of Maine to start a new life, but encountered much more than she bargained for in dark, dangerous, and seductive Lane Wild…

Desire and temptation smolder before she succumbs to her darkest fantasies with the captivating stranger. She doesn’t expect to see him again after an explosive one-night stand leaves her breathless and craving more, but just like lightning in the darkness, he shows up in her life at the most unpredictable moments.

A sensual game of cat and mouse ensues before the attraction between them reaches a fever pitch—the magnetism combustible, the sexual tension nearly unbearable—and Kat finally abandons inhibition and explores the cunning, selfish, and sexual side of a world she’s never known.

They have the perfect non-relationship—passion-fueled nights with no strings attached—until lifegets real and the past and present collide in a dangerous storm of lust and obsession.

My Review:

3.75 Bam Bam star read!!



Super-Hot from beginning to end...


Lane Wild & Kat had this unbelievable chemistry from first encounter and we got front row seat's to this uncontrollable Lust from the get go.. I enjoyed Kat's Sassiness and Lane's Alpha tendencies..



In my opinion there wasn’t a better pair out there and they had the Pages Sizzling..



So if you’re looking for a Quick Super Duper Hot read with a delicious dirty talking Alpha and a Cute Redhead that can dish it right back look no further..

Rock Bottom (Tristan & Danika #2) ~ R.K. Lilley

Rock Bottom by R.K. Lilley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Blurb:

Their love had the power of a runaway freight train, and the potential to be just as destructive.
The tempestuous sequel to Bad Things picks up where the first book left off. Reeling from a profound loss, Tristan and Danika struggle to pick up the pieces and build a life together, but the hard habits of a lifetime are not so easy to escape.
Rock Bottom takes us on a dual point of view journey through addiction and desire, through love and agony, and answers the question we’ve been asking since these characters were introduced in Grounded: “What happened between Tristan and Danika?”

DANIKA
Even love couldn’t cushion a fall like ours. My love for Tristan was so big that I felt consumed by it, and even so, it was not enough to overpower our combined demons.
I struggled. I yelled and screamed. I scratched and kicked.
I fought like hell, but even the most determined fighters have to stop before they break.
No one could say I didn’t fight for him.
“I love you,” I spoke softly into his ear.
He gripped me harder. “I can’t ever lose you, Danika. I’m not sure I’d survive it.”
“You’ve got me. And I’m not going anywhere. Not ever.”
I meant the words when I said them, but life had other plans for us.
I’d have given my life for that fight. In fact, I very nearly did.

TRISTAN
She was the one.
If I’d ever had a doubt, I didn’t now. She was the one I’d be thinking about, longing for, until I took my last breath. If I lost her tomorrow, I’d pine for her like a lovesick fool.
This was the kind of love that only hit you once in your life.




My Review:

5 Fan-Fucking- Tastic Stars!!!



Here's another emotional, angst filled read I am a masochist for!! I devoured this book in one day. This was a seamless continuation of Bad Things that took us on a crazy ride, right alongside Tristan and Danika. We were taken through all the highs and lows of their relationship and their devastating reality on why Love just wasn’t enough to prevail!



Danika just gave Tristan ALL OF HER…. Mind, Body & Soul! There was nothing she wouldn’t forgive him or do for him she always placed him first and that still just wasn’t enough.



Tristan was obsessively in Love with Danika.. And due to his self-destructive personality just took things to different levels and just wouldn’t allow himself to see what was right in front of him was all he needed. Throughout he struggled with lose and addiction tried but just couldn’t get to that finish line and in the end the Bad won out!



We didnt get that HEA but we got to see two people that Loved each other Hard trying to make a relationship work through all of lifes obstacles and tragically fail! But I loved it & hope we get that second chance at Love in Lovely Trigger

Torn From You (Tear Asunder #1) ~ Nashoda Rose

Torn from You by Nashoda Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Blurb:
Love is like an avalanche. It hits hard, fast and without mercy.

At least it did for me when Sculpt, the lead singer of the rock band Tear Asunder knocked me off my feet. Literally, because he’s also a fighter, illegally of course, and he taught me how to fight. He also taught me how to love and I fell hard for him. I mean the guy could do sweet, when he wasn't doing bossy, and I like sweet.

Then it all shattered.

Kidnapped.
Starved.
Beaten.
I was alone and fighting to survive.
When I heard Sculpt's voice, I thought he was there to save me.

I was wrong.

(It is recommended to read "With You" the novella first).

*Warning: This book contains some disturbing situations, strong language and sexual content. Over 18 years.


This is a love story with some dark elements. Dark contemporary romance. No cliffhanger and next in the Tear Asunder series is Ream's story (the band's lead guitarist)




MyReview:

Hot Damn!
Couldn't put this read down .. I swooned, I cringed, I laughed and I loved every part of it

Another reviewer said it was a mix of KA and CJ Roberts and that nailed it in the head for me because that was what was going through my head the entire time while reading. It was a very dark read but with an Alpha male that just wouldn’t quit.

Sculpt/Logan was an underground fighter, motorcycle riding Hot as sin Rocker/Lead Singer. So unpredictable but Ohhh so protective of what was his. He did what he had to do and dammit you dealt with it. He was relentless in the end and would not take no under any circumstances.



Emily/Eme/Mouse was beautiful inside and out and fell head over heels for Logan. Their newly developed romance was completely halted when something so mind boggling happened and Eme's world was turned upside down. She didnt know who to trust anymore and was almost broken beyond repair!



Eme wakes up in a nightmare and the person she thought she LOVED could very well have been the one that did this to her. It was so gut wrenching watching Eme slowly be broken and losing hope of ever convincing her captor to let her go!!



There were so many memorable moments in this book as well as funny and action packed. Need to know what will happen with all the other characters as they all played key roles through out the book..Can't wait

With You (Tear Asunder #0.5) ~ Nashonda Rose

With You by Nashoda Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Blurb:

Sculpt is an illegal fighter.

He’s also the lead singer of a local rock band.

No one knows his real name.

And from the moment I met him, he made me forget mine.

In order to convince Sculpt to give me self-defense lessons, I had to follow his one rule—no complaining or he’d walk. I didn’t think it would be a problem. I could handle a few bruises. What I hadn’t anticipated was landing on my back with Sculpt on top of me and my entire body burning up for him.

I tried to ignore it.

I failed of course. And having a hot, tattooed badass on top of me week after week, acting completely immune to what he was doing to my body—it was frustrating as hell, so I broke his rule—I complained.

Then he kissed me.

Author’s Note: This novella is Sculpt and Emily’s beginning and how they met. It is an extra and not required to be read before “Torn from You”. Their story and what happens to them is the novel “Torn from You”.

*Warning* Huge cliff-hanger. Like huge! But “With You” and “Torn from You” are released on the same day.*




My Review:

FYI** If your wondering which to read first?
doesn't really matter since this one is a prequel for Torn from you..It doesn't give anything away!

We get to see how Sculpt & Emily met and all the juicy bits up until that life changing DAY!!!!





This one packed a nice hefty dose of Lovin!
