Intoxicate (Explosive #4) ~ Tessa Teevan

Marry me. 

Two words Kalli Montgomery never expected to say out loud to Xavier Cruz, even though she's been in love with the sexy, single father for as long as she can remember. Unfortunately, she hasn't just been friend-zoned for the past ten years. No, even worse, he's treated her like a little sister, no matter how hard she tried to prove she could be so much more. When she agrees to spend the summer as the caregiver for his daughter, Lily, she knows it's her last chance to finally make him take notice. 

As unexpected circumstances threaten to disrupt his home life, Xavier's desperate to keep his family together. He'll do whatever it takes, even if it means marrying a woman he doesn't love. For Xavier and Lily, Kalli will do just about anything, even at the risk of getting her heart broken in the process. 

Little does she know, sometimes love isn't quite as unrequited as one may think. Xavier sees her-he always has. And the vow he made all those years ago never to go there with his best friend's little sister is wavering, and it's wavering fast. When they come up with a plan that leads to wedding bells, it's a no brainer. 

This marriage of convenience has one rule: absolutely no falling in love. 

Easier said than done. Throw together a girl who believes rules are meant to be broken, and a man whose whole career revolves around following orders and you get a recipe for disaster. What could possibly go wrong?

I was so patiently OKAY FINE impatiently waiting for this one!!
Every glimpse of Xavier was drawing me in more and more he was so intriguing and I needed to know his tale..

I am a such a glutton for Angst and Sexual Tension.. crave it sometimes.. want those feelings where you can't help but hold your breath in anticipation, want to fling your kindle across the room cause your so pissed off or start muttering to the characters advise you damn well know they can't hear.. This book had it all sexy sweet tension with some angst thrown in!! So yes I was one happy satisfied reader!

I loved the way the story started off with the present and that "Marry Me" then ventured off into showing us how we got there and then what came after!! with both of their POV's..

Boy oh Boy Xavier really had a number done on him when he was left with a newborn to care for at such an early age and a Military career that was still so new.. Luckily a great mom that came to the rescue without hesitation and a wonderful Kale & the gang became his network of support for him and his baby girl.

Then we have Kalli young, vibrant, carefree full of sass and sarcasm living and loving life to the fullest.. No real worries or responsibilities, Hell she was still living at home well into her late 20's cause she could and really didn't care what anyone thought!

Let's jump right into Xavier.. Oh the so MANY times I was SO wanting to Throttle the man, everyone knew he was attracted to Kalli but he did absolutely Nada about it just always wanting more time, constantly second guessing things... I felt like he was just full of excuses and had his head stuck so far up his ass I wanted him to grovel and beg when he finally snapped out of it.. Then Kalli started off acting like a total doormat IMO.. putting herself out there numerous times and getting shot down just as many.. I would have been so done with him after the first time he made it clear she would never be first or second, Hell not even third in his life...She was always doing so much for him and Lily without giving it a second thought.

Because I love Angst so damn much I was able to forgive Xavier his Stubborn ways - which really only came from his love for his daughter and how he put his needs aside to put hers first above all else. (who can stay mad at that) And I was able to realize Kalli wasn't letting Xavier walk all over her (she'd loved the man he was for 10 years).. She knew what she wanted and knew what would be waiting on the other side once she tore down those walls.. A man that loves so hard and protects his family so fiercely nothing gets in his way..

Kalli was exactly what Xavier and his daughter needed in their lives and she knew this and got everything she wanted and more!!

This was such a fun read watching Xavier struggle with what he wanted and how he thought he needed to be.. Kalli being patient but totally tempting him at every turn and their moms were to cute with their plotting.. so much went on that had me pausing and laughing cause I would have reacted the same or even said something so similar if found in that situation.

**I have come to love this series and Tessa Teevan's writing style**

Monster Stepbrother ~ Harlow Grace

His dark obsession runs deep.

How does a girl go from being her Daddy’s precious baby doll to feeling like a filthy whore? 

Easy really. When my father remarries it changes the course of my life and everything becomes . . . complicated.

My new stepbrother is a monster who hates me. Unapologetic, controlling and brazen he’s intent on making my life a living hell. Blackmails me into doing things I never thought I’d do. Illicit things. 

Oliver King makes the rules. He f*cks me whenever he wants. How he wants. Where he wants.

My head screams this is wrong, yet I can't resist giving in to forbidden desires.

I’m his possession, his toy — his ultimate pleasure.

He’s never letting me go. I’m his dark obsession. 

My dirty addiction to my stepbrother grows to a dangerous level. Am I sick to crave more from the man who has made me his slut? Or should I escape and run as far away as possible? 

My name is Maya Childs and this is my story. 

Dark erotic novel that contains sensitive subject matter that may make readers uncomfortable. Not appropriate for readers under 18. Contains explicit language and descriptions of sexual situations and violence.

*******Won an ARC on Facebook =0D*******

3.5 Just Misunderstood Stars...

~ Not what I was expecting but thoroughly enjoyed nonetheless!!~

This was definitely a super Hot read.. The beginning threw me for a loop since I couldn't figure out why Oliver was so cranky and mean all the time.. Then when we meet Maya later on she was just plain bold and came off as a total tease..

But once the story started cranking and you saw the whys on both Oliver and Maya's ends.. it all flowed wonderfully and I was able to get into the story line and enjoy all of its naughtiness which there was plenty of!! These two had a lot to overcome both with major childhood trauma's and not coping with them very well I might add. But we do get that HEA so it was all good!

***Now I am so ready for Quin's tale!***

Stage Dive Series ~ Kylie Scott

Deep (Stage Dive #4) Coming soon....

Stay up all night with the sexy rockers in Stage Dive, the epic New Adult series from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, 

5 Finally Stars.....

Another one of those Why the F#%K did I wait till now to read !!!

I should have definitely known better..I loved Kylie Scott's Zombie Flesh series to death.. Haha

This had it ALL lust, some pretty steamy sex scenes, humor, the tiniest tiny bit of angst, great secondary characters, great flow with the troubled bad boy, but not a total a-hole Stud muffin and a non Whiney realistic heroine which I thought was just perfect!

Loved, loved, loved! On to Mal..

5 Will Never Be Enough Stars for Mal...

Mal??? This is for you

I can't even describe how much I Loved this book!

Every other word out of Mal's mouth had me either laughing, giggling, smirking or snickering.. He had this wicked sense of humor that was Hot, Endearing and Vulnerable all at the same time.

Anne was PERFECT for him.. Bless her soul lol.... She had the patience of a saint and gave it to him right back

This book was amazing! another smooth flowing tale with a dirty talking, super funny and adorable hot rocker bad boy that found the right girl when he needed her the most.. What I also loved about this one is Mal wasn't the typical damaged hero.. He just had some issues to deal with and was having difficulty coming to terms with them.

This series is just getting better and better..

Mal babe you have just landed the #1 spot on my book boyfriend shelf!

Flesh Series ~ Kylie Scott

    

Flesh~  Ali has been hiding in an attic since civilisation collapsed eight weeks ago.
When the plague hit, her neighbours turned into mindless, hungry, homicidal maniacs.
Daniel has been a loner his entire life. Then the world empties and he realises that being alone isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Finn is a former cop who is desperate for companionship, and willing to do anything it takes to protect the survivors around him.
When the three cross paths they band together; sparks fly, romance blooms in the wasteland and Ali, Daniel and Finn bend to their very human needs in the ruins of civilisation.
Lust, love and trust all come under fire in Flesh as the three band together to survive, hunted through the suburban wastelands.
NOTE: This story is rated "Hot" (4 out of 5 flames) and contains M/F/M and F/M pairings.

Skin~ Six months since the zombie plague struck, former librarian Roslyn Stewart has been holed up in a school with eight other survivors. But now the shelves in the school canteen are bare. The stranger at the gate has supplies that will ensure the group’s ongoing survival, but at a cost. He wants a woman.
Nick is a man with a plan. He’ll treat Roslyn like a Queen, devoting the rest of his life to protecting and providing for her. In exchange, of course, for sexual favours. It’s the deal of the century given the state of the world. But Roslyn doesn’t see it that way. The first chance she gets she attacks the ex-army man and attempts to escape, forcing Nick to contain her. And so begins his awkward courtship of the woman, with her chained to the bed for security reasons.
Chained like a dog and forced to spend her every waking moment with a creep, albeit a good looking one, Ros is determined to escape. When circumstances force them to band together against a common enemy their very survival depends on their ability to learn to trust each other. An uneasy partnership develops, but can a relationship with such a difficult beginning ever have a future?

Room with a View~ Natalie has watched as the zombie plague devastated civilisation.
Angus had been a miracle. Twenty-three years old and gorgeous he had appeared like Romeo from the pool area and thrown supplies up to her balcony. But now Angus is gone – abandoned her, which is probably for the best. She couldn’t stand to watch him die too.
Stranded four floors up and fenced in on all sides by the infected, food and water supplies are running as low as Natalie’s spirits. A lingering death from starvation seems inevitable.
But then she sees Angus striding for the pool gate with a sawn-off shotgun in his hands. Can he make it past the infected to reach her? And what will it mean if he does?

So I was perusing Amazon (for a while)and wanted something different, engaging and Hot.. And I really hit the jackpot with this one.. Kylie Scott was a new to me author but the cover drew me in along with the blurb and I think I'd watched "I am Legend" w/ Will Smith recently and fell in Love with that move also was reading Joss Ware's Envy Chronicles series.. (which this sort of reminded me of but on a much more STEAMIER level).. I was sold!

SOOO the steam factor, mystery aspect , with tons of suspense and that nagging unknown vibe while trying to get away from zombie's and still get a bit of humour in the mix had me pulling an all nighter so I was definitely on to the next and the next!!

I just need to mention AGAIN it was HOT...

And Kylie Scott has been placed on my auto buy list!! 

The Flesh series is one of my favorite of all times and I ALWAYS recommend!
