Wrath (Wrong, #2) ~ LP Lovell & Stevie J. Cole





***Warning. This book contains extreme violence, and scenes that may upset some readers. ***

Tor

Jude Pearson could just as well kill me as kiss me most days. He was my captor, my living hell, and yet, he became my saviour, my heart. Stupid. Hes heartless, conditioned to feel nothing, and so I ran... straight into the clutches of his enemy. Joe Campbell wants Jude to suffer, and I just became a pawn in a very dangerous game.

Joe has broken me in every way, everything that I once was stripped away, and in its place is festering hatred and a rage so cold I feel nothing else. I have one purpose. Revenge. 


Jude

Love makes you weak, it makes you irrational. She was collateral, completely innocent when she was unwillingly dragged into my corrupt world. With the damage Id already caused her, I couldnt let her love me, so I let her go, and now...he has her. 


No matter where she is, she will always be mine. This man has taken every-fucking-thing from me, and he has the last thing that matters to me. I will kill him. Slowly. Joe Campbell better run because the devil is fucking coming for him. 

Sometimes two wrongs can make a right.

Rage.

Hate.

Revenge. 

Our Wrath binds us, but it may also break us.








Okay so right from the start.. SHIT GOT REAL..
I sorta, kinda knew it wouldn't be pretty but Holy Mother... I was a wreck just reading the first few chapters.. I really wanted to rewind time and slap some sense into Tor so she wouldn't run!!!


Then the situation went from fucked up to there is no going back.. How does some one coup, how could you NOT blame yourself, CAN you EVER forgive yourself if you survived.. I was a blubbering mess.. I reread just to make sure I missed the part where she was just having a nightmare.. I started rewriting a particular scene in my head because I REALLY REALLY needed a different outcome..


This was a fast paced story, that was so original and unpredictable..
I really had no clue what I was in for when I first picked up Wrong and it just got better from there... Kickass Heroine, Yummy Bad Boy, Damn Hot and a plot that will keep you glued to your kindle from the first swipe!!!



And Folks we do get a HEA!!!
Bravo Ladies.. this is a read I will definitely be recommending

Souls Unfractured (Hades Hangmen, #3) ~ Tillie Cole





"For fractured souls are like magnets.
Drawn to collide into an impossible bliss…"

Labeled a ‘Cursed’ woman of Eve from birth, Maddie has endured nothing but pain and repression at the hands of The Order’s most abusive elder, Moses. Now living with her sister in The Hangmen’s secluded compound, finally, Maddie, is free. Free from the suffocating faith she no longer believes in. Free from endless years of physical and mental torment.

Just… free…

At age twenty-one, the timid and shy Maddie is content to live within the confines of her new home—safe from the outside world, safe from harm and, strangely, protected by the Hangmen’s most volatile member; the heavily pierced and tattooed, Flame.

Flame.

The man who ceaselessly watches over her with his midnight dark and searing eyes. The man who protects her with a breath-taking intensity. And the man who stirs something deep within her numbed heart.

But when circumstances conspire for Flame to need HER help, Maddie bravely risks it all for the broken man who has captivated her fragile soul.

The Hangmen’s most infamous member, Flame, is ruled by one thing—anger. Plagued by haunting demons from his past, an all-consuming rage, and isolated by an abhorrent hatred of being touched, Flame's days are filled with suffocating darkness, pierced only by a single ray of light—Maddie. The shy, beautiful woman he cannot purge from his thoughts. The woman he has an overwhelming need to possess…
... the only person who has ever been able to touch him.

Flame’s mission in life is to protect Maddie, to keep her safe. Until a trigger from his troubled past sends him spiraling into madness, trapping him in the deepest recesses of his disturbed mind.

His Hangmen brothers fear that Flame is beyond saving.

His only hope of salvation: Maddie and her healing light.

Dark Contemporary Romance.
Contains explicit sexual situations, violence, disturbingly sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language, and very mature topics.
Recommended for age 18 years and over.
 




After a few days of regrouping and trying to put my thoughts and emotions into words I still don't think I could ever do the story justice..

I've loved this series from the 1st but Flame & Maddie's story has just floored me.
Tillie Cole is just utterly amazing!! I never could have fathomed the abuse Flame had been put through. What he dealt with. What he was able to overcome. I balled my fucking eyes out.. His back story wrecked havoc on my mind for days.. 

We somewhat had an idea of Maddie's horrific abuse.. But she totally surprised me with her strength and her ability to guide Flame through his demons.. Grasp on to what she wanted and put her fears and past aside for Flame!!



From that very first scene at the church where Flame called, Hell screamed out to Maddie.. I felt his distress his fears his need to protect her at all cost.. I had goose bumps..

"I let a scream tear from my injured throat. And I kept pushing my bike harder"

The want and desperate need Flame and Maddie had for one another was just tragically beautiful. Both so damaged they couldn't allow themselves the simplest touch, caress, embrace!!! 

"What are words? Sometimes the flick of a pair of eyes or the flush of skin reveals everything you need to know. Words can wound. Silence can heal."

" I have been there too. I have felt the urge to fade, to never wake again. But then something happened to me. Someone happened to me... YOU."

This story flowed effortlessly, perfectly!! The scene was set for whats next to come and I for sure will be anxiously awaiting.. All the characters were present and all had their role to play.. I was only sad when I realized Flame & Maddie's story had been fulfilled..

Tillie Cole this was perfection!!



Certified!!

Out of Time (Nine Minutes, #2) ~ Beth Flynn




They thought with his execution it would all be over. 
They were wrong.
The leader of one of South Florida’s most notorious and brutal motorcycle gangs has been put to death by lethal injection. Days later, his family and friends should have been picking up the pieces, moving on. Instead, they’ve been catapulted into a world so twisted and dangerous even the most ruthless among them would be stunned to discover the tangled web of deception, not only on the dangerous streets of South Florida but all the way to the top. 
In this gripping follow-up novel to Nine Minutes, Out of Time takes readers from the sun-drenched flatlands of 1950s Central Florida to the vivid tropical heat of Fort Lauderdale to the halls of Florida’s Death Row as we finally learn the gritty backstory of Jason “Grizz” Talbot, the terrifying leader of Satan’s Army motorcycle gang, and the secret he spent his life trying to conceal. 
Not even Grizz’s inner circle knows his full story—the tragedy that enveloped his early life, the surprise discovery that made him the government’s most wanted and most feared, and the depths of his love for Ginny, the tenderhearted innocent he’d once abducted and later made his wife.
Once Grizz’s obsession and now the mother of his child, Ginny has spent years grieving the man she’d first resisted and then came to love. Now remarried to Tommy, a former member of the gang, the pair have spent more than a decade trying desperately to live a normal existence far from the violent, crime-ridden world they’d once carved out on the edge of the Florida Everglades. For Tommy, especially, the stakes are high. Desperately in love with Ginny for years, he’s finally living his dream: married to the woman he never thought he could have. But even with the façade of normalcy—thriving careers, two beautiful children, and a genuinely happy and loving marriage—they can’t seem to put the past behind them. Every time they turn around, another secret is revealed, unraveling the very bonds that hold them together. 
And with Grizz finally put to death, now Ginny has learned secrets so dark, so evil she’s not even sure she can go on. 
Will these secrets tear their love to pieces? And how far will Grizz go to protect what he still considers his, even from beyond the grave?



I Devoured it!!
I know I'll be going through a serious book funk after finishing OOT!!
Nothing will appeal, I'll be in limbo for days, all I'll speak about is OOT!!
It was that FUCKING GOOD...
I never really thought Nine Minutes ended on a cliffy but there was so much more that could've been answered.. And we get that in OOT with a cliffy and more questions and so many other crosswords and story lines!!! Gahhhh 


Grizz was the mother-fucking man hands down, 
the way every turn was already mapped, questions anticipated.. 
The life he was brought up in and the life he led weren't easy.. Reading about his past was gut wrenching, 
I could sympathize and came to terms with the man he became. He absolutely adored 
Kit and while reading OOT you could grasp just how deep that Love went..

Ginny had so much thrown at her and had to come to terms with all the lies she 
lived with..
All the decisions made for her, she was sheltered for her own sanity.
 I wondered while reading if she would've been able to deal with the truths, 
been able to still Love Grizz as much as she did knowing how ruthless he was, really seeing how he dealt out his punishments and how he gained all that respect and 
fear from his club and those around him.

Grunt finally got a chance to tell his side of story, shed some much needed light on past events. 
I kept telling myself through out the story that he was SO young, also had an abusive childhood and was forced to grow up way to fast. 
As well as everything he did, every move he made was all for Love. He was loyal to a fault but again loyal to those he deemed worthy. We got to see a different, more mature, controlled/reserved side to Tommy and he was amazing and so patient with Ginny.
I fell for him more and more as I continued to read, but also wanted to kick him in the neck with certain revelations..

SO many characters played important roles which I will not get into.
But all I will say is that there were some jaw dropping, eye opening moments that were just Brilliant. BUT no matter what was revealed and what the future holds for those still actively in the game I have been and forever will be Team Grizz..


One of the coolest things about reading this book is that I know all the counties and streets mentioned in it.. Some roads I take on a regular basis and can't help but wonder how it would have looked back in the 50's..
I still cannot believe when I picked up NM last year that it was from a debut author, 
and NOW reading OOT the continuation to NM I'm still in Aww of the writing, world building and characters have been amazing.. I will continue to follow Beth Flynn anxious to see what else she has in store for us and recommend these books to anyone that will listen for a very long time..

King (King, #1) ~ T.M. Frazier




Homeless, hungry and desperate enough to steal, Doe has no memories of who she is 
or where she comes from.


A notorious career criminal just released from prison, King is someone you don’t want to cross unless 
you’re prepared to pay him back in blood, sweat, pu$$y or a combination of all three.



King’s future hangs in the balance. Doe’s is written in her past. When they come crashing together, 
they will have to learn that sometimes in order to hold on, you have to first let go. 



Warning: This book contains graphic violence, consensual and non-consensual sex, drug use, abuse, 
and other taboo subjects and adult subject matter. Although originally slated to be a standalone, KING 
is now a two part series.








I'm at a loss for words!!! I need Tyrant NOW!!!!!!!
I'll be 100% honest and say it was a rough start for me up to like 10% 
but holy hell after that I was so consumed by the book I couldn't eat or sleep until the end.. 
And What An End!!!  (Clutching Heart)


Goodness Gracious.. The Feels.. I've heard people mention it before.. Now I Know!!!
The entire story was just an up and down, twist and turn, emotional mind FUCK!!!
Every main character won me over and I couldn't help but laugh when they did, feel offended when they were and cry when it just couldn't be held back!

Even though the story's about King and Doe 
Preppy was front and center along with Bear and Grace.. You will fall for each and everyone of them guaranteed..  

Doe woke up with no memory of her past and found her self alone and on the streets.. She's thrust into a world were her only focus is Survival... find shelter and food by ANY means necessary!!
This is where the story really takes off and Doe finds herself  undoubtedly screwed. 


We reacquaint ourselves with King in all his hotness and Preppy in all his lovable, psycho craziness years later. 
Doe comes into the picture and gets in too deep, way way, way over her head..
The story takes us on a wild super intense ride where Doe eventually finds herself as King's property!

"You're not my prisoner. You're mine." ~King

Along the road you just can't help falling for King & Preppy..
Preppy and his quirky dangerous, loyal self and King with his total Alpha demeanor and twisted asshole persona...  

"King got off the bike and stalked toward me. He snatched the helmet out of my hands and roughly shoved it onto my head. My hair was trapped over my eyes and I was momentarily disoriented" ~Doe  (did I mention King was an asshole?)

There were so many Holy Shit and You've Got To Be Shitting Me moments..
So many Laugh Out Loud and a few HELL FUCK NO ones!! 
where you have to bust the tissues out  and sob ugly tears while still smiling...

"Preppy settled for PREP on his knuckles."
" I'm so gangsta." Preppy said, admiring his newly tatted up knuckles. "You're about as gangsta as my ninety year old grandma," ~Bear
I thought I was done for with that ending but boy was I wrong 
when I got a taste of Tyrants teaser..


A Definite Must Read!!

Wrong (Wrong, #1) ~ LP Lovell & Stevie J. Cole






Tor 


My life was mapped out and planned to perfection. I knew exactly what I wanted and where I was going, until I was thrust into his world and ripped from mine. In the blink of an eye everything shattered, proving to be nothing more than a cheap illusion. Now I’m living in this twisted form of hell, where enemies and friends are one and the same. I thought I wanted perfection. Now I don’t know what I want - perhaps not even my own freedom. 



Jude 



I'm the definition of wrong. I'm violent, I'm greedy, and I stop at nothing to win. I'm a notorious bookie and in my game paying with your life is not just a figure of speech. You lose, I collect. I take whatever you have. She’s collateral for a debt, and if that debt's not paid someone will die. This should be just business, so why can’t I kill her? 

Everything is not always as it seems. 



Lust. Blood. Lies.



Nothing this wrong should feel so right.









Oh Yessss this was a wickedly, sexy, twisted addictive read!!


These new to me Authors wrapped me up in this world and will have me tied up in knots till I get the entire story... Hook.Line.Sinker.


What a rush! 

It's scary how much I enjoy these kind of reads.. 
Helpless female?? Well not really.
 Victoria's a mouthy, opinionated sometimes slap happy captive....
career driven and realistic.. definitely not a pushover and might have succumb to Stockholm Syndrome.  (But who can fault her when there's a Jude in the picture)

Unfeeling Bad Boy Bookie Boss?? Humm Maybe not.
Jude was a crude & obnoxious, bad-ass hardcore killer on the surface, but keep digging and talk to him in a sexy British accent and you MIGHT just be able to  start peeling those layers.

We get tons of action, we get to see the darkest side of Jude as well as the remorseful one!
We sadly get to see Tor broken &
We also get laugh out loud moments along the way and a few jaw dropping ones..

"You've just been stabbed. Your dick is fine. You don't need to keep checking whether it's still there." I slap his hand away from his crotch. "Stop playing with it." ~ Tor to Jude

Don't miss out on this one, I know I won't I need to know what happens next with an 
ending like that!!!



Need Wrath (Wrong, #2) NOW!!!!
