This Day is THIS HOT!

This Day by Blanka LipiÅ„ska is LIVE and crazy HOT.  This is the second book in the 365 Days series. Check out my spoiler-free review below. This book should be read after reading 365 Days.

This Day by Blanka Lipińska on Kindle Crack

SYNOPSIS:

The steamy and thrilling story of Laura and Massimo continues in this unputdownable sequel to the international bestseller 365 Days—the inspiration behind Netflix’s blockbuster movie.


Laura Biel’s new life in Sicily looks like the perfect fairy tale: a grand wedding, a wealthy and devoted husband, a baby on the way, and lavish luxury complete with servants, extravagant cars, and seaside palazzos. Yes, all of this would be perfect, except for the fact that Laura is constantly surrounded by gangsters as the threat of her kidnapping looms large. Laura is about finally discover what it means to be married to the most dangerous man in Italy.

SPOILER-FREE REVIEW:

This Day (365 Days, #2)This Day by Blanka Lipińska
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 There is hot, and then there is THIS BOOK. This Day by Blanka Lipinska is nuclear hot. I loved that I had visuals of the characters from the 365 Days movie and the actors on Instagram pages. We met a few new characters in Don Massimo and Laura's world. Nacho (played by actor Simone Susinna in the 365 Days Part 2 movie) is crazy hot and quite a snack ;) We also get acquainted with Don Massimo’s twin brother. This Day played out like a steamyAF movie in my head. This smutastic mafia romance was hella sexy. Did I mention HOW CRAZY SEXY THIS BOOK IS? If you are looking for a wholesome, just-the-tip hearts and flowers romance, this is not it. These characters gold medaled in bedroom antics. I have to say the sexy time stuff did get a little old with a wash, rinse, repeat vibe. The Michele Morrone visuals made this 413-page book unputdownable.

This Day ended with a tear-jerker-worthy cliffhanger. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plays out in the final book in the 365 Days series. It needs to get translated from Polish to English ASAP. Teraz proszÄ™.  

About Blanka:

Blanka Lipinska is one of the most popular authors and influential women in Poland. She’s an author out of desire rather than necessity and writes for fun instead of money. She loves tattoos, values truthfulness, and treasures altruism. Annoyed with the lack of openness about sex, she took it upon herself to start a discussion about the many sides of love. She likes to say that talking about sex is as easy as preparing dinner. With over 1.5 million copies of her bestselling trilogy sold in Poland, Blanka was ranked as one of Poland’s highest-paid writers in 2019 by Wprost magazine. In 2020 the same magazine listed her as one of Poland’s most influential women. The Polish National Library readership survey lists her in the top 10 most popular authors in Poland and Forbes Women magazine included her among the top female brands. Her bestselling novel 365 Days is the basis of one of 2020’s most successful Netflix movies worldwide. The film has spent 10 days as #1, the second-highest in the chart’s history.

Spoiler-free review

It's Complicated (A Reservations Story #2)It's Complicated by Kindle Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s Complicated by Kindle Alexander is the second book in the Reservations series. Beckett St. Claire is a rugged outdoorsman who owns a survivalist training company. He meets Julian Cullen, the manager of an exclusive gay men’s club called Reservations. Julian is haunted with horrific flashbacks of being drugged, kidnapped, and sexually assaulted while working as an escort. Beckett can survive any situation, but can he survive Julian’s issues and help feel worthy of love?

This slow-burning romance was heartfelt and complicated. I loved watching Beckett and Julian’s relationship evolve. Like a true survivalist, Beckett was there to help Julian learn to navigate the rocky terrain of their new relationship and trust again.

It’s Complicated is a standalone with characters from Secrets, released in 2015. I wish I had reread Secrets before starting this one to refresh my memory with everyone’s backstory. It’s not necessary to read it first, but it’s a great book as well!


Author Bio:

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

This Book Is On My Best of 2021 List

North of the Stars (In Love and War Book 1) by Monica James is LIVE and you need to one-click this historical Viking romance. I'm blown away by this book.  This is the first book in a two-book series.  North of the Stars is on my Best of 2021 List! 

North of the Stars by Monica James Kindle Crack

England is burning.


And the cause…men are too afraid to utter in nothing but a whisper.


The Northmen.


My father is King Eanred.


And me?


I am Princess Emeline.


My father wants to protect our kingdom against the ruthless Vikings who continue to raid England, so he has betrothed me to Aethelwulf, the son of King Egbert of Wessex—the most powerful realm in all of England. Without this union, Northumbria will fall, which is why I must submit. I must do this for my people.


However, it is not in my nature to surrender. So when my father captures the most savage Viking known in our land, I do what no good, God-fearing Christian would do—I help him.


His name…Skarth the Godless.


People fear what they don’t understand, but I will not allow that to control me. Fear makes us blind to the truth, and I refuse to cower because Skarth soon becomes my teacher—in all things. And when his rival, Ulf the Bloody, shatters my world, it becomes clear the lessons have only just begun.


My soul is tarnished.


I am a sinner.


Lord, hear my prayer…

North of the StarsNorth of the Stars by Monica James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When I first learned about North of the Stars (In Love & War 1), I thought -- Vikings? I typically don’t read historical romances, but I LOVE the author, Monica James, so I decided to read it. I can’t even believe I wavered at the thought of reading this book. The Viking world might be my new character catnip! I literally need the next book like I need my next breath. This book played out like a movie in my head. I got lost in this all-consuming world of heathen Vikings and scandalous medieval royalty. This book was unputdownable, and I didn’t want it ever to end. North of the Stars is a runaway train of revenge, loyalty, and sins of the heart and soul. This complex and intense tale takes on a Braveheart and Game of Thrones 2.0 vibe. North of the Stars is absolute Kindle Crack. This is Monica James at her very best! NotS is on my Best of 2021 book list!

Nightwolf by Karina Halle Book Cover Kindle Crack
Synopsis:

My name is Amethyst DeMille and I'm in love with a vampire.

Sounds complicated, doesn't it?
Yet the fact that he's a sexy, centuries-old blood-drinking vampire isn't what makes our relationship complicated.
It's because we live in the same house together, work at the same exclusive club together, and he happens to be my best friend with absolutely no idea how I feel about him.
I mean, sure he's probably seen me give him heart eyes more than once. Wolf is not only a deadly, charismatic vampire with great persuasion skills, he also happens to be built like a Nordic God, all solid muscle and chiseled bone structure and haunting eyes that I sometimes think tell me more than he wants me to know. He's the type of guy most women find themselves falling for (and not just because they might end up his next meal).
But despite the simmering sexual tension and yearning between us, I know there's no way I'll ever be able to tell him how I feel. After all, I'm a human and he's a vampire and he's told me more than once that those love stories never end well.
Too bad my heart doesn't know the difference.

***
Nightwolf is a contemporary vampire romance with a friends-to-lovers twist.
This book is a spinoff of The Dark Eyes Duet, featuring Wolf & Amethyst, but can be read as a total standalone. However, if you are reading it as a series, The Dark Eyes Duet (Black Sunshine and The Blood is Love) should be read first.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Nightwolf by Karina Halle is a vampire and human, friends-to-lover, paranormal romance. This steamy and emotion-packed vampire love story took a bite out of my heart. I didn’t expect to feel emotional about this unusual relationship. Color me surprised! I don’t read too many paranormal/supernatural romances, but I decided to mix things up. I have enjoyed Karina’s books in the past, but never read any of her paranormal romances. I have been missing out BIG TIME!   Nightwolf is a spinoff from the Dark Eyes Duet. I wish I had the time to read the Dark Eyes Duet before starting this book since I enjoyed Nightwolf so much, but you definitely can read Nightwolf as a standalone.

BLURB

 

The first time I met Max Yearwood was on a blind date. 

Max was insanely gorgeous, funny, and our chemistry was off the charts. He also had the biggest dimples I’d ever laid eyes on. 

Exactly what I needed after my breakup. 

Or so I thought… 

Until my real date arrived.  

Turned out, Max wasn’t who I was there to meet. He only pretended to be until my real date showed up. 

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. 

Before he left, he slipped me a ticket to a hockey game a few blocks away, in case things didn’t work out on my actual date. 

I tossed the ticket into my purse and went about trying to enjoy the man I was supposed to meet. 

But my real blind date and I had no connection.

So on my way home, I decided to take a chance and stop by the game. 

When I arrived, the seat next to me was empty.

Disappointed again, I decided to leave at the end of the period.

Just before the buzzer, one of the teams scored, and the entire arena went crazy. 

A player’s face flashed up on the Jumbotron. He was wearing a helmet, but I froze when he smiled. 

You guessed it: Dimples. 

Apparently, my fake blind date hadn’t invited me to watch hockey with him, he’d invited me to watch him play. 

And so began my adventure with Max Yearwood. 

He was everything I needed at the time—fun, sexy, up for anything, and only around for a few months since he’d signed with a new team three-thousand miles away.   

Max proposed we spend the summer helping me forget my ex. It sounded like a good plan. Things couldn’t get too serious when we had an expiration date. Right?

Though, you know what they say about the best-laid plans.

About Dyan: 

Dyan Layne is a nurse boss by day and the writer of edgy sensual tales by night—and on weekends. Serenity, the first book in the Red Door series, is her debut novel. She's never without her Kindle, and can usually be found tapping away at her keyboard with a hot latte and a cold Dasani Lime--and sometimes champagne. She can't sing a note, but often answers in song because isn't there a song for just about everything? Born and raised a Chicago girl, she currently lives in Tampa, Florida, and is the mother of four handsome sons and a beautiful daughter, who are all grown up now, but can still make her crazy--and she loves it that way! Because normal is just so boring.
