Fleeting Moments ~ Bella Jewel

One single moment changes everything

In one breath, you can have it all

A split-second later, it can all disappear

Vanished forever

That was me

I had it all

Then in a cruel twist of fate, it was taken from me

A beautiful life gone in a flash

But he was there

He was there to pick me up when I fell

To protect me

My savior. My rock.

He was just a stranger

Just a selfless stranger with a face I'll never forget

Can't forget

Won't forget 

And like everything else, he just disappeared

As if he never existed

I have to find him

I need to find him

He has to know that he saved me 

He has to know that in that one fleeting moment, he was all I could see

I read through this book in one sitting!!

Once I started I couldn't stop until I got the HEA I needed..

An event can change your life forever!

How you deal, how your loved ones deal, how life just goes on.

When a total stranger becomes your hero, what lengths would you go to thank them?

How would you cope if suddenly your led to believe it's all in your head?

What would you do if your fears and hurt were nothing compared to someone else's Hell?

Absolutely LOVED the concept of the story from beginning to end

The mystery, intrigue and tone of the story kept me turning the pages..

The only issue I had was the heroine went from this meek scared woman trying to

 prove a point while chasing her savior - after repeated warnings to let it be to this 

ballsy, risk taker. I won't get into the actual story since there are some twists and it will spoil the plot.. But that's the only thing that held me back from rating it a 5..

It was sexy, hot and suspenseful..

Drifter (MC Sinners Next Generation, #2) ~ Belle Jewel

They say opposites attract. In my world that isn’t a good thing.
I did everything I could to escape the grips of motorcycle club I grew up in when I turned twenty-one.
It wasn’t about fear, or betrayal, or even lack of love. I just needed my own life.
I had to know how it felt to stand on my own two feet without their protection.
Then I met Diesel. Mysterious, dark, with eyes that screamed to be understood.
From the second I met him, I knew I needed to be in his life.
There’s just one problem – he’s a member of a different motorcycle club.
Two things that should never be combined. Yet I can’t stay away.
No matter how hard he pushes. I can see beyond his mask.
I need to know who he is and I’ll overcome any obstacle to be in his life.
A friendship is born, followed by an epic love.
Our relationship is forbidden.
But I’ll do anything to be in his life.
Anything. 

This was  another fantastic spin off of Bella Jewel's MC series..

We get to meet the offspring's of 2 badass biker clubs..

**Cheesy Grin**

So what do you do when you've met one of the hottest, broodiest bad boys ?

One who's a royal ass-hole, is dating one of the meanest heffer's in school and

 somehow manages to rock your world and throw you for a loop at every encounter??

You Befriend him of course!!

I felt as if I was reading a merging of sorts ~ mean girls/gossip girls hopping over through the screen to Sons of Anarchy..

It was funny but sad, it was sexy and sweet but then you get that WTF? moments

With the college drama but also the Club drama..

Sometimes rules are meant to be broken.. Especially when it comes to Love..

Pandemonium (MC Sinners Next Generation, #1) ~ Bella Jewel

I am the good girl, the one who does no wrong. 

Daughter to a ferocious and strong MC President, I know what protection feels like. 

Until one night changes everything - and not a single person in the world can protect me from it, not even my dad. 

Suffocating. Alone. Desperate. 

I let my problems live deep inside until there is no longer anywhere to run. 

I need an escape. Anything to make the pain go away. 

Trouble comes for me, and I don't fight it. 

I tried so hard to believe in what I was, 

But nobody understood. 

Not until him. Not until Lucas. 

He sees me. He believes in me. 

He refuses to let me drown. 

He’s my way out. My escape. 

But Lucas is forbidden. He’s a cop. I’m in danger. And my father is trying to protect what can’t be protected. 

There can only be one outcome. 

Pandemonium.

What a great read about loss, desperation, addiction and acceptance!!
Two worlds collide under unusual circumstances and comfort is
sought from two very unlikely damaged individuals..

Both with their own guilt to carry, both trying to have protected those they love
and both finally realizing they did nothing wrong.
Unfortunately life isn't always fair and it's up to you to grieve but also let
those around you help!

A very emotional spin off series but a great addition you don't want to miss..
There was such an amazing twist I caught on to towards the end which
just made the story that much more intriguing..

Wow and the kids are all grown up!!!

Flawed Heart (House of Obsidian, #1) ~ Bella Jewel

Max & Belle's story

This isn't the man I married.

The man I married was strong, beautiful and pure.

The man I married cherished our lives together.

The man I married loved me.

This...This isn't that man.

One night. One accident. It changes everything.

I wish I could tell you the exact moment he fell out of love with me. I wish I could tell you there was hope. That I hung on. That I fought. I wish I could tell you that we fixed it. That happily every after was just out of our grips.

It wasn't. I ran, in the dead of the night, I packed my things and I left him.

Now I'm back. He's still the same man. A deadly underground fighter for the House of Obsidian. He's still dangerous. He's still broken. I still love him.

This is the part where I'm supposed to turn around and run... But I don't.

This was an awesome spin-off addition for anyone that has read and loved 

The Joker's Wrath MC series (Like I did) but can also be read as a stand alone which is a plus.

Max caught my attn right from the start when I first met him as well as Belle 

when Pippa befriended her..

We got their story from the beginning with alternate POV's and flashbacks to 

their past.. Max fell hard for the shy eccentric new girl and together they were 

able to overcome all the college drama and obstacles. Max was Belle's rock 

but somewhere, somehow in this perfect relationship something happened

Max changed & Blue Belle ran both with secrets!

This was an angsty read ~ Yay for me!!! where we get to see where both went 

wrong and watch them finally COMMUNICATE let down those walls and get the happily ever after 

they both deserved the second time around..

It was Hot and Max did not disappoint with his dirty talk and his alpha yummy-ness.

So ready for Rainer and Raide's story!

Desolation (Joker's Wrath MC, #4) ~ Bella Jewel

Pippa

The girl you all know as damaged. Quiet. Broken.

She doesn’t fit in. Nothing in her world feels right. She’s trapped in a spiral of darkness that seem to be consuming her day by day, until she sees nothing but an empty, black hole.

Her world is a dark place she can’t escape.

She has people around her who matter. Who love her. But it’s not enough. Not enough to break her out of the bitter despair she lives in.

UNTIL TYKE.

He knows pain. He knows darkness. He’s sweet. He’s kind. But most of all…

He understands her.

Combining their demons doesn’t seem like the best plan. Everyone is against them. He deserves better. She deserves better. They’ll never work. They’re too broken. Too damaged. It’s a destructive combination that will only end in heartbreak.

He’s a biker. She’s a broken angel.

But in their desolation, they find peace.

WITH EACH OTHER.

This was a great read!!

It's set 3 years after the events that took place in Anguish..

Pippa is still struggling to fit in but has found comfort and safety in her friendship with Tyke.. We got glimpses of the past from when Pippa was in captivity and also got to see her grow and flourish as a woman while she overcame her fears and insecurities.

We definitely got some angst and sweetness while we witnessed all that was Tyke..

He had his own demons to battle and since knowing first hand what Pippa had been through didn't feel he would ever be enough and didn't want her living the biker life..

Of Course that all changes!!!

We got a fabulous conclusion to the Joker's Wrath series, met some intriguing new characters and where given a glimpse of who we will see next hopefully in a spin-off  ..

All this and some seriously smexing scenes plus Tyke being all 100% ALPHA.  BONUS..  **sigh**

This is a series that slowly reeled me in and grasped me tight!!

I didn't want it to end..

Number Thirteen ~ Bella Jewel

Number Thirteen by Bella Jewel

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Blurb:

We're thirteen girls, captive, slave to our master.

A master we've never seen.

Obedience will become all we know in our shallow existence. It is the only emotion we're permitted to feel.

When we're bad, we're punished. When we're good, we're rewarded.

Our scars run deep. Yet we survive, because we have to...

because HE teaches us to.

All of us are special, we feel it with everything we are.

He has us for a reason, but it's a reason we don't know.

We've never seen his face, but we know that something deeply broken lies beneath the darkness. With every touch, with every punishment, we know it.

Then something changed.

He showed me who he truly is.

Now I want him.

I'll go against everything I know to be with him.

A monster.

My monster.

Loving him is a sin, but a sinner I am. I won't stop until I see every part of him. Even the parts he keeps locked deep down inside.

I am Number Thirteen, and this is my story.

My Review:

3 because of William Stars...

I liked but..... (yes there's a but)

So it started off with soooo much promise the beginning just grasped me and didn't let up till about 38% or so then it just got WEIRD

We got a glimpse of Williams tragic childhood a life altering moment that while reading about you couldn't help but cry...

Then fast forward we're reading about 13 ABDUCTED girls all locked up all tattooed with a number all very, very different!!

It starts off dark and mysterious and you just can't read fast enough to find out what happens next. You then get introduced to a few of the girls and start piecing things together, possible why's & maybe's?

THEN!!!

We get masked balls, daddy issues, cat fight's, seduction, jealousy, family dinner, cops, safe house on and on....

I think we just got a bit TOO much? It went from good to weird over & over again.. and I was still left with some unanswered questions believe it or not!!!

My Review:

I really wanted to LOVE this one!!



There were so many parts that were amazing and then
Wam.... I get hit with a weird scene. Indigo would be this awesome kickass chick and then she's acting like a wounded baby cub or something..



Same goes for Hendrix he's this totally Hot, Lickalicous Pirate.. All controlling and demanding then he's this annoying prick.(aahhh yea not in the hot way LOL..



But I have to say I loved the concept and would still continue to read what Bella Jewel puts out there, cause she can seriously write some mega hot smex scenes!!
