 Food for thought...what would that book be?  Hmmmm...

Synopsis:
Everything done in darkness, will eventually be brought into the light.
I ran, but all it did was keep me one step ahead of my past. I tried to start over; new name, new identity. But you can't change your soul.
A fresh start at college was just what I needed. For a while, it worked. I was the party girl, the one that seemed confident, but it was a lie.
When guys kissed me--I felt only pain. 
When they touched me--Nothing but fear.
Deep inside, every girl wants to be the beauty in the story, to find someone that will see you as their world. 
But the truth? I was the beast. And as much as I wanted redemption, I wasn't fool enough to think I'd ever get it. 
Until he walked into my life.
I wasn't prepared to fall for someone. My scars were too deep, the wounds too raw. But he offered me peace, he offered me security. I should have known it was just another lie--I should have known that falling in love with my professor was a bad idea.
But I was powerless to stop myself from falling. 
And he was powerless to catch me.
Because the darkness finally caught up to me, and as fate would have it, a cruel twist almost bled me dry. But I'm stronger than I knew. I'm stronger than you think.
You think you know my story, but you don't....after all everyone has Shame in their lives-- and I'm no longer afraid to show you mine.

Review of Shame
Shame by Rachel Van Dyken

Title:  Shame
Author: Rachel Van Dyken
Series: Yes
Release Date: October 5, 2014
Rating: 4.50 stars
Cliffhanger: No
Spoiler-free review

I have heard amazing things about the Ruin series for so long…so when I heard that the third book in this series can be read as a standalone I jumped at the chance.  I am not going to regurgitate the synopsis…but I will top-line it.
Lisa was in a toxic and dysfunctional relationship with Taylor and is manipulated to do some horrible things.  Even after his death, Taylor continues his twisted reign of terror to destroy Lisa.  Before he committed suicide he mailed two copies of his terrifying tell-all journal.  One of the copies lands in the hands of his step brother Tristan.  Tristan, who is hell bent on destroying the woman who ruined his brother’s life, takes a job as a professor at Lisa’s college.  He ends up falling for the Lisa after a chance meeting at a party.  Lisa is miserable knowing that she has a shameful past and afraid of what her new boyfriend/professor would think of her. Meanwhile, she has a stalker and her friends might not be able to protect her.  Everything isn’t always what it seems and when Lisa’s shameful past and present collide,  her life will never be the same.

I really enjoyed this book and was captivated from the first page to the last.  I will admit that I felt a little lost not knowing each of the character’s backstory/relationships.   Rachel did a great job highlighting some key back story point, but I think I would have embraced the characters a little more if I read the first two books beforehand.  With that said…Shame was still an addicting read. I loved the way this story unraveled via Taylor’s twisted journal entries. We got a peek inside the diary of a mad man.  Shame is loaded with a great mix of mystery, suspense and drama.  There were a few times I wanted to smack Lisa for not seeing what was right in front of her.  I think that’s how the author wanted the reader to feel and it led to an awesome plot twist/ending!  Shame is a must read for Ruin series fans. After reading Shame, I am even more excited to read the first two books in this series.

Top Ten Wes Michels Rules to Live By: 
10. When things become difficult--thats when breakthrough happens. Do the hard thing. 
9. Choose to smile...it's easier to frown. 
8. Each day, write down one thing you can do to help someone around you. 
7. Think big, act small. It doesn't take a life altering idea to change the world around you. 
6. If you don't have money--time is a good currency. Invest it in what matters, like people, your education, etc. Don't waste it by complaining about things that you won't even remember come next week. 
5. Think positive. Focusing on the negative gives the bad things in your life power--refuse to give negativity power. 
4. Be restless. Don't sit. While you're watching TV someone else is out there curing cancer, that someone could be you. 
3. Find peace in the small things, like your morning cup of coffee or the rain. Stop and listen, think, be aware of who you are and who the world is to you. 
2. There is always tomorrow. If you fail today, the world will not end, just make an effort to succeed tomorrow, and if you fail again, repeat the process. The biggest failures in life turn into the greatest successes. 
1. Live courageously and without fear. Fear is the absence of faith, faith should be what drives you to believe in the impossible and succeed where others have failed.

Eleven months ago, bartender and weird-shirt-wearing extraordinaire Roxy and Officer Reece Anders had a one night stand. Well, kind of.

She’s not sure she has room for forgiveness in her and when she begins to receive frightening messages and is on the receiving end of escalating violence, she thinks she knows who is to blame. The man who already destroyed one life already.

But Reece isn’t convinced. The threats are too personal, and even if Roxy doesn’t believe him, he’s not willing to let anyone hurt her. Including himself. He’s already messed up more than once when it comes to Roxy and he’s not going to let history repeat itself.

Review of Beat
Beat by Amity Cross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Title:  Beat
Author: Amity Cross
Series: Yes
Release Date: October 5, 2014
Rating: 4.00 stars
Cliffhanger: Yes
Spoiler-free review

Ren (Renee) finds her long lost dad after her mom loses her battle against cancer. Her not-so-loving father owns a gym called Beat and gives Ren a storage closet to live in.  Life is looking pretty grim for Ren. Then she meets Ash, Beat gym's resident bad-ass and legendary MMA fighter.  Well, legendary until he got thrown out of the MMA.  Eventually, he starts fighting again, but this time for an illegal circuit called The Underground. Ren and Ash’s relationship starts off real rocky.  Ren starts channeling all of her anger over her the loss of her mom and her evil step sister (who works at Beat) into training.  Ash and Ren start training together and things start to heat up on and off the gym mats. Against Ash’s wishes, Ren starts to fight in The Underground.  She starts to make a name for herself and dreams of moving out of the depressing storage room closet.  Will the past repeat itself?  Will secrets and lies give this bad-ass couple the beat down of their
lives?

Overall, I really enjoyed Beat.  Ash reminded me of Remy from Katy Evans Real series. His protective nature, animal references, and caveman bad-ass persona with rage was very reminiscent of Remy's character. He was likable, but not as endearing as Remy. Amity always creates strong
heroines in her books and Ren was no different. She was not a doormat, but rather a force to be reckoned with.   I knew going into Beat there would be a cliffhanger…so I wasn’t anticipating Ren and Ash’s story to be wrapped up. I can’t wait to read Pulse (Beat #2) in this yummy MMA series. Go
one click this one.

MMA hotness.

EXCERPT
My fist slammed into the heavy leather bag, the impact jolting up my arm and absorbing into my torso.
The only light was from the back row of fluorescents I’d switched on over the ring. It was dark, murky and helped me pretend I was someplace else. The drama from the daylight hours was gone and it was just me and the darkness. Exactly the way I liked it.

Shame is live on Amazon and only $.99 for the first two days.  I read Shame and loved it. Look for my review later this week.
Synopsis:
Everything done in darkness, will eventually be brought into the light.
I ran, but all it did was keep me one step ahead of my past. I tried to start over; new name, new identity. But you can't change your soul.
A fresh start at college was just what I needed. For a while, it worked. I was the party girl, the one that seemed confident, but it was a lie.
When guys kissed me--I felt only pain. 
When they touched me--Nothing but fear.
Deep inside, every girl wants to be the beauty in the story, to find someone that will see you as their world.

Blurb

As Reapers Motorcycle Club president, Reese “Picnic” Hayes has given his entire life to the club. After losing his wife, he knew he’d never love another woman. And with two daughters to raise and a club to manage, that was just fine with him. These days, Reese keeps his relationships free and easy—he definitely doesn’t want to waste his time on a glorified cleaning lady like London Armstrong.

Too bad he’s completely obsessed with her.

Besides running her own business, London’s got her junkie cousin’s daughter to look after—a more reckless than average eighteen-year-old. Sure she’s attracted to the Reapers’ president, but she’s not stupid. Reese Hayes is a criminal and a thug. But when her young cousin gets caught up with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might be the only man who can help her. Now London has to make the hardest decision of her life—how far will she go to save her family?

Excerpt:
“Okay, let’s get some shit straight and then you can head out.” Great, here it came. The Talk. Fortunately I was ahead of him for once.

“Don’t worry, Reese. I know this was just a one-off for you, and that you don’t want a relationship. That’s what I needed, too, so in a way it’s perfect. No harm, no foul. We can just pretend this never happened.”

A scowl covered his face. “What the fuck are you talking about?”

“Us. Or rather, the fact that there isn’t an ‘us.’ I get it—you like to sleep around. I had a good time, but I’m not expecting a ring or anything.”

His eyes widened, and I smirked.

“Although I’ll be around if you want another booty call,” I added slyly.

Yay me! I’m a sophisticated woman who knows the difference between love and sex.

Reese’s scowl grew deeper, and then suddenly he moved and I was under him, pinned down against the bed. He pulled my hands up, holding them prisoner above my head.

“Are you fucked in the head?” he demanded harshly. “You get laid for the first time in years, it’s phenomenal—”

“Well, aren’t you the modest one?”

“It’s phenomenal,” he repeated, emphasizing the word heavily. “And now you’re just going to ignore me? I am not fuckin’ down with that.”

The unveiling of a set of priceless illustrations of Dante’s Divine Comedy at the Uffizi Gallery exposes the unsuspecting Professor Gabriel Emerson and his beloved wife, Julianne, to a mysterious and dangerous enemy.

Unbeknownst to the Professor, the illustrations he secretly acquired years ago were stolen a century earlier from the ruler of Florence’s underworld. Now one of the most dangerous beings in Italy is determined to reclaim his prized artwork and exact revenge on the Emersons, but not before he uncovers something disturbing about Julianne …

Set in the city of Florence, “The Prince” is a prequel novella to “The Raven,” which is the first book in the new Florentine Series Trilogy by Sylvain Reynard.

“The Prince” can be read as a standalone but readers of The Gabriel Series may be curious about the connection between The Professor’s world and the dark, secret underworld of “The Prince.

In Flight (Up in the Air #1) 
Add to Goodreads

When reserved flight attendant Bianca gets one look at billionaire hotel owner James Cavendish, she loses all of her hard-won composure. For a girl who can easily juggle a tray of champagne flutes at 35,000 feet in three inch heels, she finds herself shockingly weak-kneed from their first encounter. The normally unruffled Bianca can't seem to look away from his electrifying turquoise gaze. They hold a challenge, and a promise, that she finds impossible to resist, and she is a girl who is used to saying no and meaning it. 

Bianca is accustomed to dealing with supermodels and movie stars in her job as a first class flight attendant, but James Cavendish puts them all to shame in the looks department. If only it were just his looks that she found so irresistible about the intimidating man, Bianca could have ignored his attentions. But what tempts her like never before is the dominant pull he seems to have over her from the moment they meet, and the promise of pleasure, and pain, that she reads in his eyes. 

A mini review of In Flight/Mile High - 5 stars!
Mile High by R.K. Lilley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Cockpit....I could never look into the front of any flying death bus in the sky since I was in an emergency plane crash landing.  It kind of scared me for life... leaving me with the inability to read books, watch TV shows or movies that have some type of airplane plot in them...like Lost, Cast Away, Snakes on a Plane -- you get it.  I put off reading the Up in the Air series by R.K. Lilley because of my plane issue. Well...I got the hell over it after scoring a first class ticket with Mr. James Canvendish.  In book one of this fast paced smutastic book/trilogy we are introduced to Bianca, her best friend Stephen and James. Bianca is a young, gorgeous flight attendant with her own mental carry-on bags full of issues. While at work, she who catches the eye of first class passenger James Cavandish. James is a young, super effing hot, wealthy, man-whore who is deeply involved in the BDSM lifestyle. James sets his sights on dominating Bianca - who happens to be a virgin.  Bianca and James end up falling for each other in their own special banged up way. I'm going to remain spoiler free here....and just say they have to overcome many emotional obstacles before their relationship crashes and burns on a runway.

If you devoured 50 Shades or the This Man series....you will want to check this super HOT read.  I'm on book three now.   I have to say I like this series way more than 50 Shades...just for the writing style alone. This is one hell of a steamy page turner...This is Kindle Crack.




Bad Things (Tristan & Danika #1) 
Add to Goodreads

Danika hasn’t had an easy life. Being insanely attracted to bad boys has never helped make it easier. 
One look at Tristan, and every brain cell she possessed went up in smoke. This man was trouble with a capital T. It was a given. 
She knew better. Bad boys were bad. Especially for her. Considering her history, it was crazy to think otherwise. So why did crazy have to feel so damn fine? 

For as long as she could remember, Danika had been focused on the future with single-minded purpose. Tristan came along and taught her everything there was to know about letting go, and living in the present. She fell, hard and deep. Of course, that only made her impact with the ground that much more devastating. 

Bad Things is about Tristan and Danika, and their train wreck of a love story. This series can be read as a standalone, or with the Up in the Air series. 



The Wild Side (The Wild Side #1)

Are you ready to take a walk? Alasdair Masters is in a rut. He just hit forty, has been nearly celibate for the past year, and his life has turned into a daily sequence of lonely patterns that revolve around avoiding human contact. 

His tidy life is turned on its head when a hot young blonde at the gym that’s been pseudo-stalking him decides to rock his world. A very young blonde. Way, way too young for him. The problem is, he can’t seem to tell her no, and she just keeps coming back for more. 

It doesn’t help that he’s ninety percent sure she’s a criminal, and still, he can’t seem to turn her down. What is a dull introvert to do when a chaotic cyclone that oozes sexuality comes twisting into his life? 

At first, he thinks she’ll give him a heart attack, but after his twenty-year marriage ended a year ago, he’s been a little lost, and when she comes crashing into his life, he realizes that he’s never felt more alive.

Every head start has a price… 

Seven years ago, Jillian burned just about every bridge she ever had. Being a lifelong fugitive, she’d seen it as her only chance to get away clean, but it had taken its toll. 

In a world where those with supernatural powers must stay hidden from normal society, being a creature that even most of the supernatural community considered a myth did not make for an easy life. And when the ex she ran away from finds her again, it’s about to get much harder. It doesn’t help that she’s still hopelessly in love with him…
