Scandalous (Sinners of Saint, #3) ~ L.J. Shen

They call him The Mute for a reason.
Hard, cold and calculated, he rarely speaks.
When he does, it’s with disdain.
When he does, his words aren’t meant for me.
When he does, my stomach flips and my world tilts on its axis.
He is thirty-three.
I am eighteen.
He’s a single dad and my father’s business partner.
I’m just a kid to him and his enemy’s daughter.
He’s emotionally unavailable.
And I am…feeling. Feeling things I shouldn’t feel for him.
Trent Rexroth is going to break my heart. The writing isn’t just on the wall, it’s inked on my soul.
And yet, I can’t stay away.
A scandal is the last thing my family needs. But a scandal is what we’re going to give them.
And oh, what a beautiful chaos it will be.

Another Fantastic read by L.J. Shen

These HotHole bad boys are in a class of their own and each requires a warning

Trent was hard on the outside but with enough licks you get to the yummy sweet as sin inside

I thought it would all be about LUST and not LOVE but was sorely mistaken

The Seahorse reference was genius and brought that "Aww" aspect to the story

It tied in beautifully where Trent stood as a single parent and gave us a small glimpse into Luna's love for her father. I would have liked to have read more about their relationship but understood in some way Edie had to shine in this aspect.

You'd think the age difference the secrets and deception would give it that angsty vibe - it was anything but since these two held nothing back when it came to their attraction. It was Hot and Sexy till the very end.

Trent was everything I was expecting cocky, arrogant, confident and in control without having to utter a word. And Edie although young was strong and resilient. 

I don't want this series to end and I'm hoping we get more on Baine (mini-Vicious) or even a spin off with the HotHole spawns..

Please keep them coming!!

The Goodbye Girl (Red Market, #2) ~ Mary E. Palmerin & A. Giannoccaro

The Red Market is where every pound of flesh has a price tag tacked onto it. It is a place where money can buy you everything, even a heart.

Caesar has fallen and a new boss, Mateo, has risen; but he has lost his Lettie Doll and he doesn't know where to find her. She stole his soul and now he must find someone to replace her. Just like her love, his new power is an illusion. The real force behind the Red Market is about to show her cards and no one wants to play her game.

Mateo and Lettie will both have to fight to find their love, but sometimes it is only found in death. You cannot go through life unnoticed by demise when you play with it every day. Sooner or later, it catches up with you and you lose. 

**Graphic content warning. Taboo, violent themes prevalent throughout. Reader discretion is highly advised.***

This is not a pretty read.. You will have nightmares.. (I have)

It's sick, it's perverse, it's taboo it's gory and raw..

Simply put it was....

 Not only was the story line intense but we dealt with so MANY mental disorders..

We were taken through a horror ride where we got to see their triggers and what essentially made most of them go off the deep end.. Not they were very far from it to begin with..

SOOOO many secrets exposed.. There was never a moment of peace.. 

All the ulterior motives were dealt with.. Ghost made their Grand appearances...

There were some scenes as with the first book that were just 

insane.. More than anything scary because it happens, people do these things..

Gahhh it was CRAZY!!!!

Mateo and his Dolly issues....

The craziest part from all of this??

It had a Happy Ending!!

Yes it did..

and crazier for me to admit?

I was happy and content with it.. I accepted it..

Read at your own risk...

Filthy 6 (Filthy Serial, #6) ~ Megan D. Martin

The sixth and final installment in the Filthy serial novel.

Faye’s life had finally come together, things were finally falling into place—until he ruined it. 

Rhett shattered her heart and destroyed everything.

Faye did what she does best—she ran. 

But this time things are different. She’s different. He’s different. 

And maybe it’s too late.

WOWZER...Some much needed closure!!

I absolutely Loved where it took me and now see and understand the why's to the way the 

5th installment ended.. Megan Martin did an excellent job at taking us through this crazy, 

sick, sordid story while still managing to give us a Happy Ending!!

Through all the pain, hate, addiction and ugliness FAYE endured she still managed to 

come out on top.. And I applaud her.. for her strength.. and her will to survive.. 

even when there was no comfort in sight. EVERYONE she loved turned their backs on her till the very end, even though one had good intentions at heart..

RHETT was consumed with guilt, especially when he realized he didn't let himself see 

what was right in front of his face. I'm guessing he always had this darkness lurking but somehow  kept it at bay. 

Once he made up his mind he moved on.. But was never able to Forget.

Until 6 years later fate took over!!

 I don't want to get into the final installment and give anything away accidentally but I will 

say it was a fantastic ending.

With a HEA although somewhat dark since we were reading about some seriously broken individuals but as happy as can be expected..

Unteachable ~ Leah Raeder

I met him at a carnival, of all corny places. The summer I turned eighteen, in that chaos of neon lights and cheap thrills, I met a man so sweet, so beautiful, he seemed to come from another world. We had one night: intense, scary, real. Then I ran, like I always do. Because I didn’t want to be abandoned again.

But I couldn’t run far enough.

I knew him as Evan that night. When I walked into his classroom, he became Mr. Wilke.

My teacher.

I don’t know if what we’re doing is wrong. The rules say one thing; my heart says screw the rules. I can’t let him lose his job. And I can’t lose him.

In the movies, this would have a happy ending. I grow up. I love, I lose, I learn. And I move on. But this is life, and there’s no script. You make it up as you go along.

And you don’t pray for a happy ending. You pray for it to never end.

Awesome writing that grasped me and didnt let go till the very last word..

Just the concept of the book was so taboo... but I did nothing but cheer this crazy relationship on even knowing the out come might not be good... The Blurb stated it all and set the vibe...

My Maise:

My Evan:

Not often I want to skip to the end to see what happens, but I wanted to soooo bad with this story.

So happy I didn't and just let the story play before me just like a movie.
