Forbidden Love (Needle's Kiss, #3) ~ Lola Stark

Jude and Haven share a secret. One he willingly hides and she tries to forget, but it regardless, it has tied them together.

It's not until their relationship is discovered that Haven has a choice to make. She can pine for the man who walked away or choose a new path.

But secrets have a way of showing themselves, making it difficult for Haven to let go...

And when she does, can Jude live with the consequences?

I  love Lola Stark and even more I loved this series!! Conflicted Love was one of my favorites for 2014 

So I was super excited when I saw  Haven and Jude’s story was finally here.. 

Forbidden Love starts off exactly where Conflicted Love ended! But that's where it ALL ends!!!

I just couldn't grasp  those first few chapters and was totally disappointed with Jude, he just came across as such a coward.. This was supposed to be about Haven and Jude but it wasn't, they weren't “TOGETHER” . We did get some past history on them both and the chemistry they HAD shared but that's the problem.. HAD!!!. 

About 70% of the book was about Haven moving on and healing with glimpses of Jude in the far, far background regretting a lot. 

Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the writing and this story definitely did a number on me.. 

I couldn't stop the water works!!  

(unfortunately I can't say why without ruining the actual story-line)..  

But I felt as if I was reading about a different couple I kept wanting a miracle a HEA for someone else!

Although this story was about forbidden love & second chances I just couldn't forgive and get over the fact that Jude didn't  fight for her when he should have even though he was there when it most counted I guess..

The story ended up being about Haven not Jude and Haven which was my issue throughout!! 

I would have loved  a longer epilogue where we got to see Jude grovel more or prove he deserved Haven and that HEA!!

 

Conflicted Love (Needle's Kiss, #2) ~ Lola Stark

Trip’s life motto is simple: get in, get off, get out. His lifestyle works for him, that is until he finds himself in an unexpected situation with the one girl he can't seem to get out of his mind.

Teeny has been strong for too long. One amazing crazy night, with her best friend's cocky colleague, leaves her with more than just unwanted feelings and cravings she just can’t seem to quench.

She's knocked up.

He's freaked out.

Life is about to get crazy for two people who can't stand to be close, yet can't seem to pull apart. Tension and confusion turn into mood swings and midnight snacks. How can things ever go back to simple times when every direction leads to chaos?

           5 Amazingly Tripped out Stars!!

This was an all around feel good read for me!! I laughed, I cried, I grumbled (at Teeny mostly) and I laughed and cried some more!!!

Trip was just AMAZING in every way! He was doing everything possible to prove he could be what Teeny and Midget needed.. seriously I would have caved when he brought the pickles in the middle of the night.. In my eyes Trip could do no wrong (it was just one awwww filled moment after the next)

"Got a baby comin'. Can't strap Midget to the back of my Harley"

Teeny just had tons of hormones taking center stage and her insecurities didn't help much!! Lucky Trip didn't give her much brooding time and won her HEART just being himself.

I got the HEA I was wishing for in this laugh out loud, sexy, super Hot but insanely sweet read..

This one is definitely a reread for me and has landed a top spot on my favorite shelf!!!

Cant wait to see what else Lola Stark has cooking =0)

Tattered Love (Needle's Kiss, #1) ~ Lola Stark

When ex-Special Ops bad-ass Mace walks into Needle's Kiss tattoo parlour, he never expected to find the girl who would turn his life upside down.

Hard as nails Scarlett has been unlucky in love: she’s been burnt, chewed up and spat out. Reluctant to have another relationship, can she keep her wits about her when hot-as-sin Mace walks into her tattoo parlor? Or will he break her down and leave his mark within her ink?

What starts out as a little fun, turns into something so much more.

Can Scarlett look beyond Mace's devastating past or will his demons come back to haunt them both?

Content warning: contains steamy, anywhere-goes sex, an alcohol induced embarrassing night out and two headstrong lovers taken on a whirlwind of crazy.

5 You are my Sunshine Stars...

This book was off the charts full of awesomeness for me..

It opens up introducing Scarlett, a kick ass chick which I was sooo girl crushing on from the start and

Then we meet Mace a total Uber, tatted, pierced Alpha male.. With a sweet side when it counts, so sweet he had me giggling when he was laying it on thick..

It was a super hot, ridiculously entertaining read I couldn't put down.. And the Epilogue was the perfect Segway for the next in the series... One which I will definitely be reading!!!!

I fell in Love with Lola Stark's writing style..
