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:).

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 ; )

Pulse by Gail McHugh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Dear Goodreads,

Can you please increase the number of stars in your rating system? I know I am not the only reader on here that would like to be able to give certain books 10+ stars. So when I sit down to write a review of Gail McHugh’s second book Pulse (Collide #2), I would like to be able to show my love for this book and its writer. I don’t know if my review writing skills could do this book justice...but adding extra stars would help. I’m sure you guys at Goodreads are real busy but can you add them to my review? Seriously, Pulse might be one of the best books I have read all year!

Thank you for your help in this matter.

Best,
Cheri www.facebook.com/KindleCrack or www.KindleCrack.net

PS – Could you also offer had a book hangover rating? Or how about a time stamp function to show what time readers were up to in the middle of the night because a book was SO DAM GOOD.

PPS – Can you require authors to warn readers about the dangers of cooking and reading a book like Pulse? I had a minor fire while cooking dinner last night. I got so into this book that my BBQ and my dinner went up in flames. I’m lucky I have a Pulse since Gail McHugh almost made me have a heart attack while reading this book.

The Edge of Never by J.A. Redmerski

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


ARC provided by Netgalley and Hachette Book Group (Grand Central Publishing Forever) in exchange for a fair and honest review.

“I could die in this bed with him right now, wrapped in his arms and I would never know that I had died.”

The stars align and it all comes together and almost falls apart for "two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl" cut to Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here.

Camryn needs something...something to dig herself out of the emotional funk she has been in. She has loved and lost and felt like she hasn't lived. She grabs her lipstick, credit card, cell phone and buys a bus ticket (she picks the location based ticket person was eating....love that!).
Andrew is running from something...and boards a bus to visit his sick dad.
The stars align and they meet...I want to remain spoiler free. With that said. Be prepared to laugh, cry your heart out, lust and live on the road with this LOVABLE couple.

I didn't know what to think of this book...even when I was 60% the way through. Loved the writing, story, characters and then it The Edge of Never plunges you into an abyss of emotions. What a great effing book. I don't know what to say....except stop reading this (or whatever you are reading) now and buy this book!!! Big LOVE for J.A. Redmerski! Wow.... I am dying to read The Edge of Always #2)

Updated 7/8: I just read Killing Sarai by J.A. Redmerski and LOVED it. U cant wait for Reviving Izabel!

Losing Hope by Colleen Hoover

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Thanks Netgalley and Atria Book for providing me with an ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. Expected publish date: July 8, 2013

I remember reading somewhere that another book reviewer and fan of Colleen Hoover said that they felt “Hoovered”. I totally get that now. I think my heart was just “Hooverized” after reading Losing Hope. To be “Hooverized” is the feeling you get when you finish a Colleen Hoover book and your head and heart have been put through a gamut of emotions and you realize you just read one of the best books of your life… and it’s not likely you will ever feel the same way ever again.

I don’t know how she pulled it off…but she made Holder and Sky’s story feel like an entirely new book. Losing Hope is brilliantly told through Holder’s point of view. LH can be read as a stand-alone and an absolute must read for any Colleen Hoover fan. Why does Goodreads only allow five stars?

“I know I told her that she’s never really been kissed before, but until this moment I had no idea that I had never really been kissed before. Not like this. Every kiss, every movement, ever moan, every touch of her hand against my skin. She’s my saving grace. My Hope. And I’m never walking away from her again.”

Review to follow:)

Do you like dark and intense erotica? Love this new book from first time writer Gwendolyn Field. I am never letting my daughter go on spring break to Mexico.

Escape from Paradise by Gwendolyn Field
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Escape From Paradise by Gwendolyn Field was so real that I think I will be haunted by every missing girl on the news that disappears in Aruba, Mexico, Jamaica etc.  Angela lies to her parents and goes joins her friends on a spring break adventure in Cancun.  She meets up with a guy named Fernando at a club on her last night out with friends. Angela is drugged, raped, kidnapped and taken to an island off of Spain.  She is forced into a world of sex slavery by Fernando’s father, Marco. Marco owns a lavish “vacation” estate that is filled with slaves forced to service his friends or customers. Angela learns fast that she must obey her masters’ sexual desires or face punishment.  She is treated like a well-manicured lap dog, dressed in elegant attire and made to crawl on her knees from room to room.  She is hand-fed bits of food table side while she is made to sit like an animal while waiting for her master to bark out his next sex need to be filled.

Angela becomes numb and is totally hopeless that she will ever see her family or friends until she meets Collin Douglas. She finds herself having feelings for her new master/client of the week. Unbeknownst to Angela, Colin is an undercover FBI/special services agent who has been deep under cover for many years. He is no stranger to the sex trade world and is assigned to find Angela.  Colin scores himself an invite to Marco’s slave palace where he must partake in all activities or have his cover blown and end up dead.    Colin crosses the line into the dark side enjoying his job a little too much while having Angela act as his slave. His mind is filled with crushing guilt…his pants are filled with a crushing hard on. He unearthed desires he never felt before. He also finds himself falling for her.  Is anyone ever going to get off of the island alive or even just dead inside?

Escape From Paradise is one dark, bitter twisted stomach churning roller coaster ride of epic proportions.  This book is not for everyone because of the subject content – rape, BDSM, kidnapping and sex slavery. Mind you this story is also filled with love, lust, desire and redemption. This isn’t a hearts and flowers type of book…but it’s a real story that could have been ripped from the headlines of any news show. It will haunt you in every way. I couldn’t put this book down and I think I finished it in almost one day.  It’s a hard core page turner that shouldn’t be missed.  Gwendolyn Field’s debut novel Escape From Paradise is total Kindle Crack.  I can’t wait to find out what she is working on next.   Four and a half haunting stars – loved it!!

By the way I found article in USA Today on this very topic - http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/n... “According to the U.S. Department of Justice, human trafficking has become the second fastest growing criminal industry — just behind drug trafficking — with children accounting for roughly half of all victims. Of the 2,515 cases under investigation in the U.S. in 2010, more than 1,000 involved children. And those are only the ones we know of. Too often, authorities say, victims stay silent out of fear, so no one knows they exist. That's why President Obama declared January National Human Trafficking Awareness month. The National Human Trafficking Resource Center estimates it's a $32 billion industry, with half coming from industrialized countries.

Book Description:
From the author of the New York Times, USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling novel, THE EDGE OF NEVER, comes a story of passion and survival…

Sarai was only fourteen when her mother uprooted her to live in Mexico with a notorious drug lord. Over time she forgot what it was like to live a normal life, but she never let go of her hope to escape the compound where she has been held for the past nine years.
Victor is a cold-blooded assassin who, like Sarai, has known only death and violence since he was a young boy. When Victor arrives at the compound to collect details and payment for a hit, Sarai sees him as her only opportunity for escape. But things don’t go as planned and instead of finding transport back to Tucson, she finds herself free from one dangerous man and caught in the clutches of another.
While on the run, Victor strays from his primal nature as he succumbs to his conscience and resolves to help Sarai. As they grow closer, he finds himself willing to risk everything to keep her alive; even his relationship with his devoted brother and liaison, Niklas, who now like everyone else wants Sarai dead.
As Victor and Sarai slowly build a trust, the differences between them seem to lessen, and an unlikely attraction intensifies. But Victor’s brutal skills and experience may not be enough in the end to save her, as the power she unknowingly holds over him may ultimately be what gets her killed.
This is their story…

Killing Sarai by J.A. Redmerski

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Four and a half kick ASSassin filled stars!

“…if she presses me further with those soft lips and sad, vulnerable eyes I’ll succumb to the moment and either fuck her or kill her.” – Victor Faust in Killing Sarai

Sarai’s drug addicted mom essentially drops her off at the door step of a crazed Mexican drug lord and human sex trafficker. She has been held captive by Javier since she was 14 years old. Victor, a cold blooded assassin arrives at Javier’s compound deep in Mexico to discuss plans for a hit. Sarai overhears their conversation and realizes Victor is an American and sees him as a ticket to escape back to home. Victor is far from a ticket to anything other than violence. He is an ice cold-blooded assassin who has known only death and carnage since he was a preteen. Victor, who is portrayed like hit man/James Bond/terminator kind of guy begrudgingly, takes Sarai with him. Sarai went from living with one ruthless murderer to keeping company with another. The unlikely pair ends up on the run together after Victor finally decides to help Sarai and keep her free from the clutches of Javier. A mutual attraction builds between the two…but are they too broken and dead inside to trust, to love, to live for anything?

I have to say I really enjoyed Killing Sarai by J.A. Redmerski. Without a doubt this was a page turner. I was so desperate to finish reading this book that when my Kindle battery died I didn’t care that I ended up sitting on my cold bathroom floor at 1:00 am to simultaneously charge/ read. This story unravels from both Sarai and Victor’s POV—which really kept this story engaging. Sarai is so strong and yet so damaged that I found myself wanting to hug her. At first it was really hard to like Victor since he is so robotic and devoid of emotion, cold and acidic. As their crazy death wish journey progresses so does their dysfunctional and super warped chemistry. The writer really does an amazing job at carving out the characters personalities and back story. Redmerski kicks it up a notch towards the end channeling all of the built up drama and tension. Killing Sarai is filled with more suspense than steam…and the lack of steam was fine (but I hope the steam factor picks up in book 2). Yes, there is a slight cliff hanger…more like a window into what could happen next. I can’t wait to get my hands on Reviving Izabel (Killing Sarai #2). Four and a half kick ASSassin filled stars!

Real by Katy Evans

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Dear Goodreads,

Can you please increase the number of stars in your rating system? I know I am not the only reader on here that would like to be able to give certain books 10 stars. So when I sit down to write a review of Katy Evans first book Real, I would like to be able to show my love for this book and its writer. I don’t know if my review writing skills could do this book justice...but adding extra stars would help. I’m sure you guys at Goodreads are real busy…so I’ll try and help this process along. I have 10 stars to send to you. Can you add them to my review of Real?

Thank you.
Cheri www.facebook.com/KindleCrack

PS – Could you also offer had a book hangover rating? Or how about a time stamp function to show what time readers were up to in the middle of the night because a book was SO DAM GOOD

Collide by Gail McHugh

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



“The only thing he knew for sure was that his emotions were caught in a clusterfuck of epic proportions. Being around her was self-inflicted pain at its finest, but it was something he was willing to endure if for one reason only – just to be close to her.”

“I’ve never felt so heartbroken and so in love at the same time. If you would’ve told me the day we met that you were going to break my heart—and that days, months, or even years would pass, that I would still be hurting like this—it wouldn’t have stopped me from falling in love with you.”

Gail McHugh knocked it out of the park with her debut novel – Collide.
What happens when you fall head over heels in love with your best friends girlfriend….and you know she’s *the one* and you know your best friend is really a two-timing douche (Douchebucket…one of many nicknames). World’s Collide for Emily, Dillon and Gavin….ahhhhhhh Gavin. He will be the top of your book boyfriend list... did I mention he has a yummy tattoo? I Collide hits your straight in the heart…and you won’t be able to put this book down. Don’t start reading this book late day unless you plan on staying up all night...it is total Kindle crack. I need more Gavin and oh yeah book two. LOVED IT.



____
Collide is effing Kindle Crack. Seriously, this is Gail McHughs first book? It better not be her last... since she left us on the ledge! Loved it! I was hooked from page one....what a great read. Full review to follow.





The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


"This morning, my plans consisted of eating FunDip while watching misguided fame whores choke down buffalo testicles on old reruns of Fear Factor. Now I'm standing in black stiletto heels in the middle of a Norman Rockwell painting."

The Sea of Tranquility deserves its own shelf in my Good Reads library...in any library. This book is devastating, heart wrenching, believable and even uplifting. It’s a story of love and friendship created from the remnants of death and desire by two shattered people. After years of disappointment and devastation these two lost souls find each other...but feel unworthy of love, broken and fear of feeling again. Katja Millay dissects each of their lives and thoughts with skilled precision. She is a master story teller who digs way deep into her characters. I almost felt like a voyeur...watching and understanding why each felt so haunted. I was sucked from page one and taken hostage in each of their heads. Not many books can bring me to tears...but the last half of this book opened up a sea of emotions. There aren't enough stars for this book. Katja Millay is a brilliant writer and I can’t wait to read book two (will there be a part two???)
Rebecca Donovan fans of the Breathing series will love this book.
By the way… the definition for the name Katja (you will understand after reading this book) is: pure, blessed and holy.






Hopeless by Colleen Hoover

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


"If words could break souls, my words just broke his in two."

"Fuck all the firsts, Sky. The only thing that matters to me with you are the forevers."

Put down whatever you are reading now...and read Hopeless by Colleen Hoover. If Hopeless doesnt top the charts on the NYT/ Amazon best seller lists then I might go as far as to go on strike and stop reading... because this book is IT!!!!! It was that good. I couldn't possibly write a review about Hopeless or Colleen Hoover's brilliant writing or story telling abilities that would do justice. She blew me away with Slammed and Point of Retreat. So I set the bar pretty high with Hopeless. She blew that bar (that doesnt sound so good does it ;) but she truly did. This is the kind of book that will stay with me forever. It's raw, real and a complete emotional roller coaster/mind fuck and a half. I will remain spolier free here and just say that Sky and Holders' story will blow you away. As their story unravels into your and head and heart. Fans of Hoover's Slammed series, Rebecca Donovan's Breathing series, Jamie McGuires Beautiful Disaster or Nicole Williams Crash series will LOVE. Stop reading this review and buy this book now!

Rating - All the stars on Sky's ceiling. Enjoy!





Beauty From Pain by Georgia Cates

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


"Baby, you've fucked my mind without touching my body."

I am on a book high after reading Georgia Cates Beauty From Pain. High...yes this book was some of the finest Kindle Crack I have ever devoured. There are only a few books that make it too my all time favorite’s shelf...and this is one of them.

Laurelyn aka Paige is an attractive twenty-two year old aspiring country music artist, avid pole dance exercise enthusiast and happy-go-lucky sort of person (she somewhat reminded me of Mary from the movie Something About Mary.) Laurelyn and her best friend Addison take a much needed vacation all the way around the world in Australia. On her first night out on the town she meets Jack aka Lachlan.... who stalks her like a hunter selecting its prey. Jack is a super attractive, Aussie vineyard owner who wants nothing more than to add Laurelyn to his no strings attached anonymous piece of ass list. Laurelyn is super attracted to Jack and has no idea he is Australia's most sought after eligible bachelor. Jack lays his cards on the table by offering Laurelyn a relationship "agreement" with promises of the slamming sex and fun while she is on holiday with the expectation of nothing more. Laurelyn dives into this relationship understanding that she will cease to exist in Jack’s life when her three month trip is over and they part ways. She doesn’t think she will fall for Jack since she will be going back to the US. Jack is thrilled that she agrees to their commitment free relationship with a firm expiration date in place. She didn’t expect that her heart would ever turn into emotional road kill. He didn’t think he would ever want to settle down…and this is their story.
I have to say I LOVED this book. Cates writing style is brilliant and engaging… and awesome steam factor. Read this books now...if you can deal with a cliffhanger ending. Cates published the first chapter of book two…which will hold me over. Ok…truth be told I’m dying for the next book. Cates is a writer to watch and this book effing rocks!

Naked by Raine Miller

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Wow…effing wow… I just devoured Raine Miller’s Naked (The Blackstone Affair Part 1) in one sitting. The house could have been on fire…I would have grabbed my Kindle and then called 911. Naked is scorching hot fast paced read. Total Bookgasm.
Ethan meets Brynee at a UK art gallery opening where her nude portrait is being showcased. Brynee is an American grad student and part time model that left home to escape a horrible situation. Ethan, is a smoking hot (think David Gandy), successful British company owner who could easily talk the panties off any women who crosses his path. Ethan pursues Brynee like a stalker freak in heat and happens to be very dominant in every which way you could imagine... He also happens to be just as caring as he is controlling. Ethan and Brynee have some supersized secrets that will either make or break their relationship if they can heal, reveal and move on from their scared pasts.
I have to say that Ethan and Brynee’s nuclear mutual attraction creates a whole lot a smutastic fun…and a great story! Naked unravels like a sweet hybrid mix of The Crossfire Series and the Fifty Shades books. Without a doubt I would say pick up this novella. Yes, there is a cliffy…but have no fear All In (book 2) is out…and Eyes Wide Open (book 3) will be released on May 14th. Plan on reading all three….you won’t want to put this series down.

How did I not read this earlier? Holy effing Kindle Crack. Review to follow.... Jumped into book two.





This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



FIVE STAR KINDLE CRACK!!
Move over Christian Grey and step to the side Gideon Cross there is a new man in town... Jesse Ward is a domineering, self-destructive beautiful disaster. He falls hard for attractive interior designer Ava O’Shea and will do anything to have her. Their relationship is nothing short of a Tsunami. She jumps into this relationship of uber dysfunction as she desperately tries to unravel this hot mess of a man. Their sexual escapades are vividly described without Jodi Ellen Malpas skipping a beat. Ava and Jessie have all kinds of crazy sex... hot, slow, hard, ummm...senseless, sleepy (you will understand after your read this book). They fight and fuck more than humanly possible. Loving bat shit crazy Jesse is a bitter twisted adventure for Ava...where Jesse is the God of “Jesseland” and determined to control every aspect her life (and shield her from his).
Jessie's skeletons and sordid tales of vaginas past start to slowly start surface as Ava learns that Jesse owns high-end hotel/swingers club where he is also member. She is in love and desperate to learn why he is a jealous controlling train wreck. Poor Ava --- Getting Jessie to open up about himself and his past is about as painful as watching a dental patient receiving root canal without Novocain.
I loved both books!!!! I will say the fighting and dysfunctional sex gets a tiny bit stale at times but Jodi Ellen Malpas is an incredible story teller. This isn’t your momma’s 50 Shades…This Man & Beneath This Man are both effing Smuttaskic books! Jeese is a whackadoo with a heart of gold and I couldn’t help but love him in the end. The next book can’t come out fast enough. When when when?
Fans of the 50 Shades series and Bared to You series will devour This Man and Beneath This Man.

Scars and Songs by Christine Zolendz

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Imagine life as Shane Maxton…you’re an angst ridden rock god with snapper head sluts falling at your feet (and you really don’t want them)… searching for the love of your life for 2,000 years…you have nothing but time to kill looking for the one that got away. You have been to hell on earth and back for a crime you didn’t commit. You think you found her…but does she want you after all of these years? Welcome to Shane’s personal hell….Scars and Songs. S&S (Mad World #3) by Christine Zolendz is five star Kindle Crack. This book might be one of the best dam POV paranormal sequels I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

I devoured Fall From Grace (Mad World #1) and Saving Grace (Mad World #2) and waited for book 3…and it was worth the wait. In S&S Grace and Shane’s paranormal beautiful disaster of a love story is told through Shane’s wicked POV. Shane’s view of his relationship with Grace is complicated and full of love, lust and hate. He also happens to be an endearing angel with a tortured soul…trapped in the body of man whore. Complications I tell you.

Every significant moment from the time he meets Grace is chronicled to painstaking effing perfection. Shane’s version of hell to happily ever after is one heck of a wild ride filled with heart break, douchebaggery and redemption. I would recommend reading the first two books prior to reading Scars and Songs. There is no cliffhanger….but there is a little nugget of hope that there will be a book four. Ahhhh…one could only wish. I can’t wait to read whatever Christine Zolendz writes next. By the way…I follow Christine on Facebook and she is a rock star in her own right having survived that bitch Sandy (Hurricane Sandy) and cranking out book three for all of us Mad World fans. Muwah!

Fierce by Ginger Voight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



A few years ago I was at my sons’ elementary school Olympic Day. A group of boys started to "cheer" on a girl as she slowly made her way around a makeshift running track. "Go fatty go" they chanted as she passed by. I was horrified that these savages thought it was ok to say this. I remember looking at her face knowing this poor girl will remember this shitty moment in time. WTF? Ginger Voight’s latest book Fierce resurrected that day for me. Jordi Hemphill is overweight and has a larger than life singing voice (I picture her as Adele). Not a day goes by that Jordi is reminded that she is tipping the scales. After years of obese abuse she picks up and leaves her depressing life in Iowa to try and make it as a singer in Hollywood. Jordi is picked to be a contestant on a new reality TV show called Fierce. Fierce is “American Idol” for contestants who don’t look like your typical pop princess or rock God. Jordi meets and slowly falls for Jace Riga, one of her fellow contestants. Jace is an Iraq war veteran who lost his leg to a roadside bomb. Jordi's opportunist mom and her “boyfriend” Eddie thrust themselves back into her life to use her new found stardom as their own fat meal ticket. Eddie earned a top spot on my list of “Uber Sadist Douche Bags” with comments that include:

“Who do you think they’re going to vote for, Jordi? And who are they going to laugh at?”

“Look at you, Jordi. Really look at yourself. You have all these people telling you how wonderful you are when you’re nothing more than a fat, disgusting pig. And you know that deep down.”

While trying to juggle the stress of appearing on a TV reality show, her mom, Eddie, a witch diet coach and Jace… her anxiety levels rise as well as the numbers on her scale. Jordi continues to self-medicate by eating and falls ill on stage. Will she make it to next week? American tunes in to watch. Fierce is filled with so many sweet and sour emotional moments. I felt myself wanting to devour a bag of chips, a few chocolate bars and a gallon of soda along with Jordi. Her story is heartbreaking and such an emotional journey. Ginger Voight is rock star of a writer and story teller. I felt every ounce of pain and the dietetic pieces of happiness Jordi felt while reading this book. Four and half fat loving stars. Fierce can be read as a stand-alone even though it picks up from Mogul (book #3 in the Groupie series). The Groupie series is a MUST READ on its own. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in this series (please tell me you will Make it Happen GV).

Thanks to Gallery, Threshold, Pocketbooks and Netgalley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Expected publish date: June 11, 2013.

Being Me by Lisa Renee Jones is one off the hook Bookgasm. There is no question why this series has been optioned for a TV show on the STARS network. Are you looking for the next piece of Kindle Crack to download? This book (this series) is it.

Being Me (Inside Out Trilogy #2) picked up right where book one left off. Sara McMillan and Chris Merit are caught up in a scorching hot, dark and stormy love affair. While trying to find out what happened to Rebecca, Sara and Chris try to battle their personal demons. Chris is going head first into DEFCON 4 self-destruct mode. Sara is desperate to understand all that is Chris. Together they are headed into a downward spiral of emotional abyss of pain. Sara and Chris’ explosive sexual chemistry becomes the catalyst to so much as they unravel themselves and the Rebecca’s story.

In Being Me, Sara becomes even more obsessed with Rebecca and turns into a sexed up, modern day Nancy Drew. Sara puts herself in danger as she starts to discover more and more about Chris, Rachel and herself. After begging Chris to let her into his head….he takes her on one hell of a field trip to destination mindfuckery…his reality. It’s all coming together and falling apart for this couple. Her beautiful broken artist happens to know his way around a whip as well as a paint brush.

Can Rachel figure out if Rebecca is alive? Is Chris to broken to fix? Who is the unnamed man in the journals? Is everyone who they claim to be in Sara’s new world of art, pleasure filled painful times, money and sex?

Being Me is one of the best sequels I have read. Lisa Renee Jones crafted the perfect mix of mystery, suspense and smoking hot smutastic romance that will have you all tied up in knots. This book is oh so sinfully sexy (fanning self). I think I needed to defog my Kindle screen a few times while reading this book. I can’t recommend this series enough. I would suggest reading book one If I Were You first. I’m overjoyed this series will be on the Stars Network…this series is HOT. Five painfully hot stars. This is Kindle Crack baby!

Beauty from Surrender by Georgia Cates
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Laurelyn Prescott happens to be lucky number 13 on Jack Henry McLachlan’s love ‘em and leave ‘em list. He never expected to fall head of heels in love with her…and now she is gone. Beauty From Surrender picks up right where Beauty From Pain leaves off with Jack on the hunt for the one and only love of his life. Laurelyn returns to Nashville utterly shattered after telling Jack she loved him and he didn’t say it back. Many months and tears go by as she throws herself into her budding music career. She never thinks she will hear from Jack again. Jack leaves Australia in search of Laurelyn and finds her looking pretty cozy with another man. He leaves without even saying hello thinking someone else might have taken his place in her heart. Their stomach churning reunion is bittersweet but amazing. Jack has one month to convince Laurelyn that she is “the one” and come home with him to Australia.

I haven’t smoked a cigarette in like 25 years…but I considered having one after reading some of love scenes between Jack and Laurelyn in Georgia Cates Beauty From Surrender (book 2). Hot daymn! BFS is the epitome of a perfect contemporary romance novel. This is how you write delicious, romantic, erotic fun. Cates dished out a one hell serving of romance with a side order of smutastic yumminess. The dialogue between Jack, Laurelyn and her best friend made this book not only sexy as hell -- but laugh out loud funny. The sex scenes didn’t get old... they got better as their relationship grew stronger and unfolded page after page. Jack and Laurelyn’s chemistry is electrifying …especially when they started bumping lips and hips.
Georgia Cates knocked it out of park with Beauty From Surrender. I loved the way this story progressed from alternating point of views. I especially loved how Jack evolved from uber man whore to uber caveman man whore in-love. BFS has a little of everything…perfected blended like one of Jack’s fine wines…the ONWTFM (Oh No What The Fuck Moments), lust, love, heartbreak and yes a happily ever after! I have to say BFS exceeded my expectations. I devoured this book in almost one sitting.

Beauty From Surrender is not to miss...it’s a must read. I would highly recommend reading book one Beauty From Pain first. Georgia Cates said she might release a novella. I can promise you I will be waiting to download it. I adore this series as well as Cates writing. I love to write reviews because of books like this. Beauty From Surrender is 100% sweet kindle crack!

FIVE+ Aussie man whore loving stars.

Lisa Renee Jones If I Were You (Inside Out Trilogy #1) is nuclear burning freakin hot Kindle Crack. Five HOT AS HELL Stars. High school teacher Sara McMillan acquires the contents of an abandoned storage unit that once belonged to a woman named Rebecca. Sara starts reading Rebecca’s private journals and going through her stuff. The journals are packed with Rebecca’s erotic adventures with an unnamed lover with whom she has an ecstasy inducing BDSM relationship with. Sara starts to question Rebecca’s well-being and her reasoning behind her decision to abandon everything in a crummy storage facility. Sara becomes obsessed with Rebecca and her life…so much so that she does a little research and ends up her job. She learns that Rebecca is on an indefinite leave of absence from her job at a popular art gallery. Sara meets Mark Compton, the owner of the gallery and he offers her a job as Rebecca’s replacement. She starts to get to know Mark and thinks he might be the man Rebecca described in her journals. Then again…could the mystery man be Chris Merrit, an artist affiliated with the gallery. Chris is a deeply broken man who warns Sara (who has her own share of issues) to stay away from him and all of his badness.
