Book Title: The Edge of Darkness
Author: Melissa Andrea
Series: Darkness Trinity

BLURB

Araya Noelle.
I used to dance. I loved to dance, but I don’t anymore. I was in an accident I don’t remember…or maybe I don’t want to remember. Either way, every day since, has been…an adjustment and I’m left with a constant reminder that nothing is forever. Now, my life is a tangled web of darkness filled with deceit, hate, betrayal and lies. I don’t dwell on the past, I don’t regret and I don’t remember. I thought I was surviving – but then I met Ryland Dare and he changed everything. He reminded me that life’s worth living and that remembering isn’t always a bad thing.

You don’t know true darkness until you've felt light…

Ryland Dare.
On the outside looking in, some would say my siblings and I have had a pretty easy life. But beyond the fancy cars, the huge house and endless social events, is where the truth really lies. Power hungry father, defeated mother and fake friends? Yeah I have one of each. It’s not as depressing as it sounds. My brat of a sister, crazy ass brother and sweeter than sweet Annie, keep me entertained. Then Araya Noelle comes along and shows me what I’ve been missing. She thinks I changed her life, but really, she saved mine.

At the edge of darkness, a ray of light, will dare them to HOPE. DARE them to LOVE. DARE them to LIVE.

EXCERPT
“I’m afraid I’m going to have this hanging on my conscious all day now.” he teased.
“That only seems fair.”
“Yes it does, but I have a better suggestion.” his voice slid over my skin like silk.
“Better for whom?”
“Go out with me.”
His proposal stunned me for a second and then I found my voice.
“So better for you?”
“I like to think of it as a mutual enjoyment.”
“I fail to see how.”
He shifted, and his breath hit my face in warm puffs. “Go out with me and I’ll show you.”

I loved Tracks (Rock Bottom #1) and can't wait to download Trials by Sarah Biermann. To be released by August.


"They think Jeremy murdered her."

Drugs pushed them away...will murder bring them together?

Since losing the rock star love of her life, Harvard Law student Dylan Ackhart is doing the best she can to move on. Now in her third and final year, she's doing well in school and just landed her dream internship in Boston's District Attorney's office. She keeps away from the news so she doesn't hear about Jeremy Mason- about his frequent parties, new women, and apparent drug use.

But when the body of a young girl is found in his home, suddenly Dylan and Jeremy are thrust together in the most difficult and awkward of circumstances. Dylan is forced to choose between the only man she ever loved and the only dream she ever wanted. Will she leave everything behind and be with Jeremy? Or will Jeremy find himself in more trouble than she can help him out of?

More Than This by Jay McLean

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wow effing wow! Where did this book come from? I read More Than This in one sitting. I couldn’t put this book down if I tried.

Mikayla has it all. She has it all….an amazing family, boyfriend and best friend. Its prom night and she is ready to go make some memories. While at a pre-prom dinner some ass clown spills a drink down the back of her dress to get her attention. She runs off to the bathroom to dry off and finds walking into the beginning of the worst night of her life. Mikayla’s world is turned upside down. Nothing will be the same and life as she knows it is just a memory. Enter Jake Andrews…a hot Aussie transplant who helps Mikayla try and get her reassemble her shattered existence.

I’m not a “swooner” but Jake effing Andrews has made me into one. That is all.

I want to remain spoiler free and not ruin this book for you. Be prepared to go on a tsunami sized emotional roller coaster. I never saw the ending coming…talk about twists and turns! I laughed cried big ugly tears and even wanted to throw my Kindle a few times. More Than This by Jay McLean is one of those books that will stick with me forever…just like Colleen Hoover’s Slammed and Hopeless. FYI – the characters are seniors in high school/college freshman – but this not a YA book. There is no cliffhanger but a HUGE set up for the next book. FIVE baseball sized stars! Read this now.

Seize Me by Crystal Spears

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It was 1:00am when I looked up from my Kindle and I realized I was in trouble…I can’t put this book down… I was seized. Seize Me (Breakneck #1) by Crystal Spears might be one of the most intense biker “love stories” I ever had the pleasure of reading.

Winter Belov is no stranger to violence. She ran away from her Russian mafia family after her father blows her boyfriends’ brains out. Winter becomes an exotic dancer in Las Vegas – leaving her pampered life behind. Winter and her best friend Lana are asked to dance at a birthday party for Braxxon Breaker, President of the Breakneck motor cycle club. Braxxon is exactly the type of man Winter wants to stay away from. He is a hard core criminal, drug dealer and murderer…but the heart wants what the heart wants. Braxxon is hot as hell and Winter falls for the crazy slut magnet MC president. Their sexual chemistry is explosive in more ways than one. Winter becomes a pawn in the middle of a revenge plot and swiftly descends into biker heaven and hell. Life will never be the same ever again.

Seize Me is one effing insane, no holds barred “love story” that takes place in the seedy under belly of the biker world. Crystal Spears doesn’t sugar coat anything. This is not a flowers and hearts story…this is in your face biker love, rape, drugs, torture and murder. Doesn’t sound like your type of book? It might not be…this story isn’t for everyone. I was in the mood for dark and twisted and I got it…big time. I devoured SM. The writer did a fantastic job unraveling this story from alternating POV. I loved Gummy bear addicted (you will understand when you read this) Winter. She wasn’t a human doormat. Winter might be one of the most bad ass heroines I ever have come across. Will I auto download the next book? Hello…you have to ask :) This is Kindle Crack baby!

Lick by Kylie Scott

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Thanks to Momentum and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

I felt like I scored a backstage pass to one of the best rock romances to hit my Kindle in a long time. Kylie’s Scott’s Lick (Stage Dive #1) Four and ½ rock Stars!!!! Total Kindle Crack. I read this book in one day….I didn’t have a choice…I couldn’t put it down!

Like the saying goes… “What happens in Vegas…stays in Vegas?” Not true if you can’t remember getting married the night before.
Twenty-one year old Ev Thomas wakes up on a bathroom floor after spending the night hugging the porcelain God puking her brains out. She quickly learns that the hot guy on the floor beside her happens to be her new husband and a rock star -- David Ferris. Not only is she wearing an ice cube sized engagement ring…but his name is tattooed on her ass. David isn’t too happy that his bride doesn’t remember their night together or the fact that she said “I do”. Ev has her future mapped out and being married (especially to someone she doesn’t know) is not on her agenda. Ev is swept into David’s life of paparazzi, band mate drama and groupies. Will they stay together or will secrets and lies keep them apart?

I LOVED this book and added it to my favorites/top rock band romance list. This super-fast paced story is incredibly well written, filled with just the right amount of angst, drama, steam and romance. It did have a normal girl/rock star fairytale feel but with a refreshing twist. There is no cliff hanger. Lick it up! (sorry old Kiss song:).

Lick is Kindle Crack. 4 and 1/2 rock stars. Review to follow.

Book Title: Choices of Fate
Author: S. Simone Chavous
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: 06/14/2013
Series: Fate Series, Book 1


BLURB
On her own since the day she turned eighteen and left the group home where she grew up, twenty-five year old Alexa Ryan has made a comfortable life for herself. She has a great job, the perfect apartment, every material possession a girl her age could desire. Unfortunately, she also has an unusual condition that has forced her to keep everyone at a distance.
Ethan Kellar has spent his entire life running from destiny. When he was just a boy, a powerful seer prophesied his role in events that would determine the outcome of the secret war his people had been fighting for centuries. A role he was determined not to accept, leading him to avoid letting anyone get too close, until the night Alexa fell into his arms.
Drawn to her in a way that he has never experienced, Ethan decides to take the ultimate risk by trusting Alexa and revealing to her all that he truly is. Thinking she is an ordinary woman, he believes that she could be his key to preventing the prophecy from being fulfilled and allowing him to live the life he has always wanted, one that he chooses. Having been so consumed with the desire to determine the course of his own life he wants no less for Alexa and knows he must tell her everything, give her a choice. Before that happens they surrender to the intense physical attraction between them and he realizes too late that in trying so hard to change his fate, he may have set the events of the prophecy in motion.
In that moment, Ethan makes the most difficult decision of his life and does the only thing he can to save Alexa. He walks away.
Consumed by grief, Alexa falls into a deep depression until she learns that her brief encounter with love resulted in a child and somehow finds the strength to put herself back together for the sake of her baby Chloe.
Nearly two years after Ethan walked out Chloe develops an unexplained illness that sends Alexa in search of anything that can help. Her pursuit leads her back to Ethan and thrusts her into his dark and mysterious world, unlocking the secrets of her past and revealing threats to their future. Together, Alexa and Ethan fight to protect Chloe and their love, but there is one battle Ethan fights alone as he struggles to choose his own path and avoid the choices of fate.

Fear of Falling by S.L. Jennings

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


“This is what you deserve, Kamilla, You’re a dirty filthy whore. And whores need to be beaten. You make me do this to you. You make me hurt you. I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t love you.”

Kami’s childhood was a living hell. Her days are filled with fear…her dreams are littered with hate and despair. She is damaged...she is broken. Kami does her best to keep it together with the help of her two best friends – Angel and Dom. Every day is a struggle for her, and she is no stranger to numbing her anxiety-filled existence with booze. Kami had her share of hook-ups and one night stands and never allowed any relationship to develop into anything series. She didn’t feel that she was able to be in a relationship since she carried around more emotional baggage than a luggage factory. Kami believed that any man that scratch the surface of what she held inside would run for his life. Then she meets Blaine. For the first time ever Kami feels something in addition to fear...she feels something real with Blaine after sharing one hell of tequila-soaked body shot. One man tore Kami’s world apart. Now another man wants to break down the emotional fortress that formed around her heart and just love and protect her. Will Kami’s fears and violent past allow her to let Blaine in?

“There was too much…there. I don’t know what is was that crackled between us, but it was there. And it was confusing the hell out of me.”

Blaine is a scary-beautiful bartender covered in tattoos and some well-placed piercings. Blaine, who has own emotional baggage falls for Kami in a big way. Blaine and Kami’s story unravels so smoothly from alternating points of view.

“He represented something that I could never have: a serious relationship, companionship, trust…love. I had to keep reminding myself of that fact.”

S.L. Jennings Fear of Falling is truly an emotional journey into the heart of a survivor. Pack your bags for one hell of an emotional roller coaster ride that will haunt you. This isn’t your hearts and flowers romance. Be prepared to be exposed to a story filled with heartache, love, violence, lust, stress, fear and happiness. FoF is one of those stories that will stay with you long after you close your Kindle cover.

While this story was gut-wrenching at times…I did find myself laughing from the dialogue between Angel, Kami and Dom. Before I die, I will call someone a “cum dumpster”. While there is drama…there is also a sweet steam factor. Blaine and Kami’s chemistry is there…in a big way. Oh, Blaine….what a rock star. He might be my new book boyfriend. This book is not to be missed. FIVE haunting stars! No cliffhanger.

+++LOVED S.L. Jennings book references+++ Kami, and I have the same taste in books ; )

Star #255 - My star. I am scared I won't be able to write a review worthy of this book.
