Seduce Me (Ravage MC #2) by Ryan Michele

I didn’t read the first book in this series yet…but book #2 looks and sounds smoking hot.  I love biker books!


Title: Seduce Me (Ravage MC #2) 
Author: Ryan Michele
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: June 9, 2014
Synopsis
Casey Alexander grew up part of the Ravage Motorcycle family since the day she was abandoned by her mother and thrown into her father’s lap. Always seeing herself as an outsider, she spent her whole life trying to fit in, but never really succeeding. When she loses her beloved father, the utter aloneness engulfs her, leaving her searching for solace in the one man she’s always craved. Confessing her love for him only results in devastation when he pushes her away. Convinced she needs a fresh start, she leaves everything behind in order to mend her broken heart and begin building a future without him.

Gage Thomas (G.T.) Gavelson fell in love with his Angel when he was just a pint sized kid. Both beautiful and smart, he always felt she deserved so much better than him. Growing up beside her in the club only continued to test his will power, until one night, he gave into temptation. Realizing he couldn’t allow himself to hold her back from the life she deserved, he pushed her away, allowing her to believe she would never be enough for him. Letting her go had been the hardest thing he’d ever done. Even though he’d thought it’d been the right thing to do, not a day goes by that misery doesn’t consume him for it.

When a tragic shootout occurs, everything changes as once again their lives are intermingled. When you find your way back to the one person you are meant to be with, forgiveness should be easy. But sometimes, we hurt each other too much to ever be able to forgive.

Is their love strong enough to heal their pain?

About the Author

I'm a mom and a wife who works full time. I have a huge obsession with collecting paperbacks and reading. Becoming an author, wasn't exactly what I set out to do, it just happened. I needed something to help me get rid of the feeling of being 'just a mom' or 'just a wife' that was consuming me and writing became that outlet. My book(s) cover some tough issues which are hard for some readers to digest. I am grateful for every single one of you who read my books.

First Look: Review of Bang by E.k. Blair - 5+ Stars

Read my spoiler-free review of Bang. It's set to release on May 19th. I was so lucky to receive an advance review copy of this book...and I have to say that I'm a little bit obsessed with it. This book will end up on my top ten book favorite books of 2014!

Title: Bang
Author: E.k. Blair
Release Date: May 19, 2014
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21459365-bang?ac=1

Synopsis:
They say when you take revenge against another you lose a part of your innocence. 
But I’m not innocent. 
I haven’t been for a very long time. 
My innocence was stolen from me. Taken was the life I was supposed to have. The soul I was born with. The ruby heart embedded in a life full of hopes and dreams.

 Gone.
Vanished.

 I never even had a choice. 
I mourn that life. Mourn the what-ifs. 
Until now. 
I’m ready to take back what was always meant to be mine.

 But every plan has a fatal flaw. Sometimes it’s the heart.

 **Due to the dark and explicit nature of this book, it is recommended for mature audiences only as some scenes may be particularly disturbing.**


 Bang (Black Lotus, #1)Bang by E.K. Blair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Definition of BANG
transitive verb
1 to strike sharply :  BUMP
2 to knock, hit, or thrust vigorously often with a sharp noise
3 often vulgar :  to have sexual intercourse with

intransitive verb
1 to strike with a sharp noise or thump
2 to produce a sharp often metallic explosive or percussive noise or series of such noises
3 to play a sport (as basketball) in a very aggressive and forceful manner

Bang is one of the most unforgettably dark suspense thrillers to land on my Kindle.  This “unputabledownable” book is absolute Kindle Crack.  I was completely captivated from the first to the last page.  I’m still thinking about the characters, the plot, everything….and I read it a few weeks ago.  E.k. Blair asked early reviewers to refrain from posting spoilers about Bang,  so you’ll need to read this book to experience this great story.  I’m glad I was kept “in the dark” and refuse to spoil your reading experience.  Bang is equally raw and intense.  It’s a story about love, lies, deception and revenge.    Bang deals with some pretty intense subject matter.  This is as real as it gets.  E.k Blair does not sugarcoat her characters’ actions in any way. Bang is one hell of an emotional rollercoaster ride with a nuclear meltdown of an ending. This story was painful to read at times and had me saying ONWTH (Oh No What The Hell) about 100 times.  E.k Blair’s writing is brilliant to say the very least.   I highly recommend this book. 5+ BANGed up stars!

Title: Dirty Deeds (Dirty Angels #2)
Author: Karina Halle
add-to-goodreads-button31


Synopsis
“He’s fearless and ruthless. Soulless.”

 As a flight attendant, Alana Bernal has had her share of suitors. She's also had more than her fair share of tragedy within her messed-up family. But what she hasn't had is love. Real, rip-your-heart-out, tear-your-clothes-off, all-consuming love.

 At least that was the case until she met an American tourist, Derek Conway, a ripped ex-soldier with steely eyes and a commanding presence. 

 What started as a chance encounter between the two in Puerto Vallarta, a weekend full of hot sex and mindless passion, has led to something more.
Something deadly.
Because Derek isn't the type of man to fall in love. He's not a man who sticks around.
And he's definitely not in Mexico on vacation.
Derek is a mercenary, a killer-for-hire, a man who does the ugly jobs for the highest bidder.
Unfortunately for Alana and Derek, the highest bidder has the power to destroy whatever worlds they have created for themselves.
The highest bidder can destroy everything.

*This is a romantic suspense book, #2 in the Dirty Angels trilogy but can be read as a standalone novel*

Coming June 15th!

Release Day Review & $50.00 Gift Card Giveaway - The Forgotten Girl by Jessica Sorensen

Happy release day Jessica Sorensen.  The Forgotten Girl is LIVE.  I will not be forgetting this book anytime soon.  Check out my review, excerpt and Jessica's $50.00 gift card giveaway!


Synopsis
Twenty-one year-old Maddie Asherford is haunted by a past she can’t remember. When she was fifteen years old, there was a tragic accident and she was left with amnesia.
In the aftermath, Maddie’s left struggling with who she is—the forgotten girl she was six years ago or
the Maddie she is now. Sometimes it even feels like she might be two different people completely—the
good Maddie and the bad one. Good Maddie goes to therapy, spends time with her family, and works on healing herself. Bad Maddie rebels and has dark thoughts of hurting people and sometimes even killing them.

 Maddie manages to keep her twisted thoughts hidden for the most part. That is until she starts having
blackouts. Each time she wakes up from one, she’s near a murder scene with no recollection of what
happened the night before and this helpless feeling like she’s losing control of her life. Maddie doesn’t
want to believe she’s a killer, but she begins to question who she really was in her past. If she was bad
Maddie all along and that maybe she was a killer.
Bio
The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Jessica Sorensen, lives in the snowy mountains of Wyoming. When she's not writing, she spends her time reading and hanging out with her family.

Spoiler-free review

A review copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Are you looking to read a dark and twisted psychological thriller?   The Forgotten Girl by Jessica Sorensen should be on the top of your reading list if you are in the mood for some mindfuckery .  I thought I was going a bit cray cray as Maddie/Lily spiraled into madness while struggling with amnesia.  There were a few times I was confused, but it all came together in the end. WHAT AN ENDING!  There is not much I can say in order to remain spoiler free.  The Forgotten Girl is very intense, the writing and plot was amazing and original. I think I still have a bit of whiplash from this one (and still saying WTF).  It’s worth checking out!

Excerpt:
“Who… are… you…” I croak, my body quivering.
“You’re going to be okay, Maddie.” 
The name makes me feel hollow. Maddie? Who’s Maddie? Who am I?
The person continues to stare for a while before crouching down beside me. I have the strangest 
compulsion to reach up and claw their eyes out, hurt them, but I can’t lift my arms up. They lean over 
me, sheltering my face from the rain with theirs. I still can’t see their expression or facial features, but 
know their watching me. Studying my wounds. My heart thrashes. Quicker. Quicker. Quicker. My chest 
moves with it, gasping for air. I can’t hear, see, think. Who am I? 
“Who are you?” I manage to say. “Do I… do I know you?”
The person silently assesses me with their head titled to the side, putting a cigarette into their
mouth. They strike a match and light the cigarette, puffing on it a few times before pulling it out of 
their mouth. Then they reach over me, their fingers seeking my hand, smoke dancing into my face and 
nostrils. Then he utters softly, “Wait, you’re not her.” 
Not who? I start to shake, scream, try to move, my heart racing so fast inside my chest it aches 
deep inside my muscles. My adrenaline soars, blood rushes through my body. It’s too much. I get dizzy, the world becoming colors and shapes that I can’t make sense of… I can’t make sense of anything. But I feel the touch of fingers on my hand as they pry my fingers open easily, despite my desperation to hold onto it. The object falls out. Plink. Hits the pavement. My heart slams against my chest so hard it knocks the breath out of me. I suck in an inhale and scream as loud as I can. Pain surges through me, fills my head. It feels like I’m splitting in half, becoming someone else, part of me dying. Kill him. I lift my hand up toward the stranger as he watches me through the dark, unafraid. When my fingers graze his neck, I fold them around the base and squeeze, strangling him. He doesn’t fight back, just remains crouched beside me, as if saying: Go ahead. Do it. Kill me. And I do until I open my mouth and finally get my scream out, the pain in it evident and burning it’s way through my body. “I don’t want to be here anymore!” “It’s going to be okay,” he whispers as he gasps for air. “I promise.”But he’s wrong. Because moments later the rain drowns me out and everything goes black.

Blurb
Still reeling from the death of her father, Alexandria hopes to find both independence and reprieve from her grief by heading off to college. However, life throws her a serious curveball when she discovers that her roommate isn’t quite the person she imagined it would be.
Smoking, tattoos, and drag racing for fast cash are Elijah’s only interests. A harsh life has made him apathetic and indifferent, until Alexandria enters his life. When their paths cross, turmoil abounds.
An inevitable encounter, an undeniable attraction, and an unexpected chance at love—will it be enough?
