One night, Lacey realized she might be able to run from her past with the help of Becca and one steamy Caine Rogers.

Will Lacey sacrifice her own happiness to do what is expected?

Willow Aster’s first book A True Love Story sits on my favorite’s shelf. I have been stalking her Facebook page waiting for news on her next book…..Here it is – In The Fields. I am so freakin excited to read this. I just added ITF to my TBR. A True Love Story is a must read list…it’s so effing GOOD. Cover and synopsis below.


Synopsis:
1971 — In the tiny, backward town of Tulma, Tennessee, optimistic, bookish Caroline Carson unwittingly finds herself in the middle of a forbidden romance. Severely neglected by her family and forced to flee Tulma to protect her secrets, Caroline’s young life comes crashing down around her. She finds refuge in a new town, but the past always has a way of stretching around time and stirring up trouble.

When a new love comes into her life, she has to decide if she can give her heart to someone else, or if she will always be tied to someone she can’t have.

Fire Inside by Kristen Ashley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just popped my Kristen Ashley cherry! I devoured my first book by KA and all I have to say is I totally get the hype. I understand why there are so many online fan pages devoted to her books and “support groups” for readers to discuss what they just read. So after all hearing all of the hype for so long I jumped at the chance to read an arc for her upcoming release Fire Inside (A Chaos Novel). I was told that there was a book one in the Chaos series but book two would be fine as a standalone. It was more than fine….it stood strong on its own two Harley Davidson wheels.

Lanie Herron comes from a country club existence in Connecticut but is no stranger to biker life with the Chaos motorcycle club. Hopper “Hop” Kincaid has known Lanie for years from hanging around the club. Hop is 110% alpha male with all of the trappings of a hot biker rolled up into one. Hop has the ability to melt your panties, break your heart or just go crazy ass caveman all within five minutes. He always thought Lanie was gorgeous but was not his type since she was a “lady” – a lady wrapped in head to designer clothes and full of drama. One night while hanging out at a Chaos social event Lanie approaches Hop and asks him for one night of stand of no strings attached bumpin uglies. Well… one night turned into one heck of a dirty sexy complicated hell on wheels chaos fueled relationship. Hop wants more. Lanie says less…so let the games begin.

It’s 1:40 am and I don't think I will sleep until I pick out which Kristen Ashley book to read next. Some might say - bikers? Not for me. Rethink this people. Next time I see a hot guy wearing his club cut on the back of a fat boy smiling at me (and we have quite a few bikers around here) I will definitely smile back and wonder if they are half as crazy effing bad ass as Hop and the brothers of Chaos. What a nice story break from billionaires, CEOs and wayward virgins. Big love for Kristen Ashley. Five hell on wheels stars!

A Terrible Love by Marata Eros
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Where did this book come from?! Effing-Amazing! Review to follow.

Jess Mackey is a liar...she has to be. It's her only way to stay alive.  She is hiding in plain sight and really wants to stay that way... She can’t date, she can’t party...and she can’t fall for her fellow classmate Devin Castile.  Jess meets Devin, a Harley riding, inked up alpha-male hottie. Devin knows she’s hiding something and wants to be her knight in shining armor… and he wants her in a bad way.
A Terrible Love by Marata Eros was far from terrible...it was high grade Kindle Crack!  I couldn't get enough of this book -- it's a page tuner loaded with drama, heartache, steam and suspense.  ATL earned a top ten spot on my Romance with a Side of Smut must reads list. Four and a half stars!!!!!

Mogul by Ginger Voight
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Cue song...Dokken - Alone Again Without You...Now read....
HOW?...WHY?...did I ever let this book/series sit on my TBR list (smacking myself upside my head). Hands down Ginger Voights Groupie trilogy (Groupie, Rockstar and Mogul) is one of my all-time favorite rock star romance reads EVER. I read...or should I say devoured all three books in a few days. I haven’t been so in love with a series since SC Stephens Thoughtless series. I am in no way comparing the two...except for my love of both (and the rock star love triangle drama dynamic). Be prepared for a hardcore emotional roller coaster ride filled with betrayal, heartbreak and redemption with Vanni, Andy and a few others who become emotional road kill on tour with the band. Vanni is a HOT love STARVED man whore, pt-time uber douche and prick on the brink of fame... Andy is a young, downtown-to-earth Tennessee based travel/entertainment writer. Andy is your average girl...and not your typical stick thin knock out rocker chick love interest.

This series wasn't pretty...Voight got down and dirty into the bowels of the entertainment business. I held my breath half the time as I scrambled from one angst filled page to the next. The trilogy captured the highs of their drug addiction like love for each other... and their anguish filled downward spiral. Each one the three books made me want hug or drop kick Vanni, Andy and Graham (who you will read about). I felt like my heart was filleted as my stomach turned to the beat of this EPIC rock and roll soap opera. Their chemistry was smoldering...but not in a smutastick way. I love my smut books.... and this series had a lot of steam...but wasn’t over the top. Voight’s Groupie series is brilliant and sucked me in from page one... it was raw and very real...with fans, stalkers, fame and fortune. I could see this series turning into one hell of a movie. Big love for Ginger Voight...this woman can write and she sure as hell can tell a good love story. This series is Kindle Crack for romance, bad boy, rock God loving readers like me. Rock on....and read this series NOW! ... Cue song -  The Verve Bitter Sweet Symphony. The end…

Connected by Kim Karr
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Not even the parade of freaks wearing nut huggers on the beach was going to distract me from finishing Kim Karrs book Connected (Connections). Yesterday, I acquired a suck ass sunburn because I was so into this book ( I'm on vacation in the Dominican Republic). This morning I loaded up with SPF 80 or whatever the bottle promised, found a palm tree that I could read under for a while and paid off my drink server to give me top shelf Patron instead of the shit that I can use to take my nail polish off with. Nothing was going to distract me.

There are books with heavy cliff hangers that have inflicted some I NEED TO READ the next book NOW angst for me like S.C Stephens Effortless, Georgia Cates Beauty From Pain, Gail McHugh's Collide, Rebecca Donovan's Breathing series... you get the picture... now Connections has made my list. Oh my freaking God!  This book is high grade Kindle crack! I refuse to spoil this book for others... but what story of mind fuckery, love, loss, heartbreak, lust, grief,  throw in some fine smut and a murder mystery ( you might think you have it figured out... you don't). I should be effing pissed at this cliffEFFINGhanger...but this book rocked so much that I can't be mad. Gibert, my beach bitch drink pimp better supersize my next cocktail for the book hangover I am already starting to feel. Did I mention the FANtactic references about DBags and The Mighty Storm? Don't miss this book...Connections has made my favorite shelf.

TITLE – Love Me Back
AUTHOR – Michelle Lynn
GENRE – New Adult Romance
GOODREADS - http://tiny.cc/1l150w
HOSTED BY – Love Between the Sheets

SYNOPSIS –
Growing up in small town Belcrest, Maddy Jennings thought she was destined to be with her childhood love Trent Basso. Their friendship blossomed into love as they weaved in and out of each other’s lives, from school aged to young adulthood. During her complicated path with Trent, another love interest seems to be her constant. The problem is the other love interest is Trent’s older brother. Trent’s brother is bound to keep a promise to him even if it means keeping his distance from Maddy, but it doesn’t stop him from being a friend she can count on.

When Maddy returns to her hometown after two years for her brother’s wedding, she will have to face not only Trent but his brother as well. As the two Basso brothers fight to win her heart, she struggles to forgive her mom and accept her apology, in order to mend their relationship?

She must decide to either forfeit her happiness or tear a family apart.

My Review:

Maddy Jennings goes home for her brother’s wedding and things won’t ever be the same.
I really liked Love Me Back by Michelle Lynn. This was one heck of a love triangle. I think I need to go to my Cardiologist since my heart is still suffering from emotional whiplash. LMB is told via Maddy’s POV and shuffles between the past and present. Maddy is indecisive and always trying to do the right thing…even if it’s not really the right thing for her. LMB is so well written and really pulled on my heartstrings. I enjoyed the way Michelle Lynn took her time and really developed the characters, relationships, and history. I will say there were times I wanted to drop kick Maddy for some of the choices she made. Ugh…some of her angst-filled decision making was killing me. All in all, I would recommend Love Me Back - especially if you enjoy love triangles….this is it!! I would recommend this emotion-packed love story. Four love triangle filled stars!

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.
