The Spiral Down (The Fall Up, #2) ~ Aly Martinez






I was afraid to fly.

He made me soar.


After years of climbing the ladder of success in the music industry, I finally had everything I could want. 
Yet I still found myself wandering through life alone.

Captain Evan Roth was the one man I never saw coming. 
Tall, dark, mysterious… Straight. 

We were both damaged beyond repair and searching for something so elusive we weren’t sure it even existed.

But, when two broken souls collide in midair, falling is a given.

I just never expected to crave the spiral down.


So we met Henry in The Fall Up.. he was this fun loving guy, a rock for Levee
Famous, Loaded, Hot and Openly Gay!!!
He kept it fun and light but deep down you could tell he was so ready for his HEA..
His biggest addiction, his drug of choice?
He only went after straight guys.. 
Henry loved the challenge, the mere knowledge that he made them curious, 
made them go against everything they thought they knew about their sexuality..
Seduced them out of their comfort zone!!

The down side to that was that he would usually just turn into "that experience"
Not the One!!



Evan was a bit down on his luck, He was flying Part Time which meant a heck of a lot less air time than he would have liked and not just because of his pockets, He just went through a break up he was sure was for the best although he felt horrible about it!! 
and Oh Yea he's managed to catch Henry Alexander's eye.. 
Growing Up flying was ingrained in him.. Evan felt at ease in the air 
Henry? Well not so much.. Not at ALL!!!




Secrets, Emotions and Pasts did not play a roll when these two got together 
and it was easy to see they were both spiraling out of control..
a few white lies on Henry's part 
Evan not wanting to put a label on his sexuality but not being forth coming with 
his past experiences.. lead to major blow ups..
These two together were HOT!!!
and once they both admitted to what they wanted and set the LABELS aside..
Henry + Evan = Heaven

Loved this read!!
If you've never ventured off and picked up an M/M romance
this would be a wonderful way to pop that cherry..
It was sexy, sweet & hot..

Through Her Eyes ~ Ava Harrison





One phone call changed me.
Three simple words and I was shattered.
Damaged.
Broken. 
Alone.
So I started over.
And my journey of rediscovery led me straight into his arms.
Chase Porter.
The stranger who showed me life from a different perspective. 
But we both had secrets…
His would destroy my world.




Ava Harrison has once again won me over with her writing style and her ability to
put me right along side her characters..
We were taken on this grand adventure through her descriptive words
and mood set.. 

This was truly a book about self discovery, life, loss and packed with so much emotion..
Chase was able to break through Aria's walls and had her finally see clearly..
Not through the haze nor through what she thought others saw but 
Through Her Eyes..

"Your story is not yet written. Don't let your past dictate your next move. Live every day with intention. And today you intend to do something new. You intend to face your fear." ~ Chase

Aria was consumed with guilt and fears and just wanted to please everyone around her.. thought she had to do what others wanted to prove her self worth and in someway redeem herself for what she thought she lacked..

"I love you today. I'll love you tomorrow. I'll love you forever," he whispers as we become one.

It was such a beautiful story.. We saw so much and watched Aria start to let go and really, finally find herself..

My Time in the Affair ~ Stylo Fantome







~Mischa~ 

I made a conscious decision to cheat on my husband. 

Now, before you judge me, hear my story. Hear how much I'm like you, how similar my thoughts are to your own. Yes, I'm a horrible person. Yes, I've done horrible things. Yes, I don't deserve forgiveness. Yes, bad things happened because of my actions. 

But I'm willing to bet I've done things that maybe, just maybe, you have thought of doing. 

Maybe, just maybe, you're not as innocent as you'd like to think. 

Or maybe I'm not so guilty ... 




Warning this book had to do with cheating
It's not sugar coated, she wasn't legally separated, she made a conscious decision to do so.
I do not condone cheating but have to admit I love the adrenaline rush I get when reading about it.. 
The unknown, the guilt, the emotions..It all plays havoc on me and I Love It!!!

It all starts with!!!



This was the first book I'd picked up by Stylo Fantome and I was hooked!!!
The pace of the book, the characters, the emotions all flowed so seamlessly
I Loved how Mischa wasn't in denial over what was going on.. 
she didn't blame anyone but herself for what she'd done...did she have second thoughts? Yes..
Did she question her actions and feel regret?  Abso~fucking~lutely...
Was there a back story and events that lead to her adulterous status? Uh Yea..
But she owned it.. She was honest with her self and to those she hurt when it was time..

But there was SO much more going on in this story.. 
believe it or not that was just a sliver of what had actually been set in motion..
There was suspense, there was drama, there were tear jerking moments I had to claim something got in my eye.. 
and there was SEX... rip your clothes off, up against the wall  smexin, dirty talking, panty drenching sex..


So Heck yes this was a Fan~freaking~tastic read..
which made me a total fan of this author

Binge (7 Year Itch, #1) ~ Jennifer Foor




Flynn & Aria Roberts have had plenty of ups and downs during their seven year marriage. Everyone warned them not to wed so young - that they'd be missing out on the key years when people grow from young adults to mature individuals.

The only thing holding them together now is their love for each other, and even that is becoming questionable. To save the marriage, and the family they've already started, Flynn and Aria come up with an unconventional solution to help them find what's missing in their relationship.

The only problem is doing so involves rediscovering themselves completely, even if it requires them to be unfaithful. Can a marriage survive when vows are broken, or will chance encounters prove they've been missing out all-along?

Fulfill your deepest desires
Give in to temptation








This is the first book I've read by Jennifer Foor and definitely won't be my last
Flynn and Aria's story was so real - the insecurities - the resentments - the what if's...
So relate-able in fact I found myself comparing events..
I was a young wife & mom, I put my life on hold so my husband could go away and finish college, I married my high school sweet heart have gone through much of the same insecurities and doubts...
Bottom line we've all wondered at some point in our relationship..
Is the grass greener on the other side? 



Flynn was full of regrets and with all this guilt he harbored came across as Selfish and Uncaring.. He made rash decisions and lashed out instead of stepping back and taking in the issues as a whole... Aria was over the top insecure, I couldn't blame her at times but she just couldn't forgive and get past well the PAST. she'd lost all trust in Flynn, they'd both lost their desire to try and without the will their marriage started to unravel it lacked passion and turned destructive...
You could tell they both still loved each other due to all the back and forth but Aria was just all over the place, way to emotional and just kept giving mixed signals.. Flynn recognized his flaws and knew what he wanted so he was willing to do anything, forgive anything to keep his marriage & family!! 

Their story was one of self discovery, second chances, forgiveness & most importantly communication..
