VENDETTA
by Autumn Karr and Sienna Lane

Blurb:
I am not a good man.

I have lied and cheated and stolen. I've decided between life or death, like it was my due. None of it matters, not anymore. These are not my sins.

I see her raise her hands, the dark metal she's clutching reflecting the moonlight. Her finger trembles as she cocks the gun pointed at me. Her eyes are cold, determined, but I know.

I know her.

My name is Devon Andre and I confess my sin. I am not a good man because this is the woman I love.

She pulls the trigger.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Bethany Daniel lives in Texas with her husband and 2 sons. She enjoys reading, photography and, of course, writing. Bethany really found the passion for writing again this last year and came up with the idea for Reconnected after years of following Hollywood gossip and reading books about girls always chasing the guys and thought it would be nice for it to be the other way around. She is currently writing Disconnected, the story of Reconnected from Liam's POV.

Disconnected by Bethany Daniel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars


ARC kindly provided by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. This review is spoiler-free. 3.5 stars.

Screen star Liam Warren needs to do a “re-shoot” of the most important roll he ever played…husband to Katy.  How does Liam really feel about his relationship with Katy? Disconnected (book #2) by Bethany Daniel is the retelling of Liam and Katy’s relationship from Liam’s point of view.  Liam got caught up in all the trappings of being a Hollywood “it” boy causing him to lose his wife. Four years later after searching for Katy he runs into her while filming a movie in Georgia. Their relationship gets a “re-write” Hollywood style.
I really liked getting into Liam’s head and learning his feelings and thoughts.  There were so many obstacles getting in the way of their relationship -- psycho bitch co-star, paparazzi, fans and a controlling movie company etc . Although the story felt very rushed, this second chance romance unraveled pretty smoothly.
Disconnected didn’t feel like a regurgitated version of book one. This book can definitely be read as a stand-alone. I recommend reading the first book to get the full picture...but it’s not necessary.  I have to say I enjoyed Disconnected more than book one – Liam got to me :).  If you love celebrity/Hollywood romances – this book (and series) is for you.  Three and half Hollywood stars!!!

Excerpt:
A party ruined my life. It was supposed to be all about making a name for myself and showing everyone that I was the new kid on the block, but my wife was in the background and she left me.
When I got home from shooting the day after the party, I thought she would be there waiting for me with a home cooked meal like always. She had told me she wanted to keep something normal while everything else was so make-believe. But when I came in, all that was there was a note:
"I'm leaving. I hope you have all the successes you've ever wanted. I won't be along for this crazy ride. Goodbye.
Love, Katy"
I didn't believe her when she said she would leave. I thought she was just mad about all the girls in the house. I never thought she could really just be gone.
After I read that note, I tore the house apart. I ran through every room yelling her name and then I grabbed

My Unexpected Forever by Heidi McLaughlin

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


**ARC provided by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. Expected release date: September 2. Spoiler free review.**

I’m going to say this now and get it off my chest. I think I love Harrison a little more than Liam. Don’t get get wrong Liam fans (I am one also) but there is something about Harrison that rocked my world a little more (maybe because I was a drummer…. or he might be the most sensitive rocker out there :).

I highly recommend reading the Forever My Girl (Beaumont, #1) and then My Everything (Beaumont, #1.5) before reading My Unexpected Forever (Beaumont, #2).

My Unexpected Forever is the story of Harrison and Katelyn(Liam and Josie’s band mate/best friend). Harrison is the hot as sin, tattooed-covered drummer of Liam’s band 4225 West. Harrison is a single rock star of a dad. He moves to Beaumont from LA to be with his band mates and starts to really get to know Katelyn (you will know back story from book one). His heart starts to beat to a difference drum...he wants Katelyn in a baddddd way. Katelyn is a recent widower and doesn't know if she will ever be able share her heart with another man. She is wildly attracted to Harrison even though he is not her type. Harrison looks like a biker bad ass and she is unsure if she really wants him around her twin girls. Katelyn soon learns that Harrison has a huge heart and hard-on for her ;) The sexual tension between the two is the size of a concert hall. A lot could go wrong with a baby mamma and evil ex running around town. Life in Beaumont, TX just got a little hotter….

My Unexpected Forever might be my favorite book in the series. Heidi McLaughlin really did a rock star job developing the characters and continuing the story line from book one. Liam and Josie are totally embedded into MUF (which was great…it wasn’t just a character spin-off based book). I really loved book one and happy to say book two lived up to my expectations. Solid 4 base drum sized stars.

Psychological Thriller/Contemporary Dark Romance



BLURB:
There were still lessons to learn and consequences for the truth!
When Claire Nichols met Anthony Rawlings, she didn’t know they had a past, or that he had plans for her future. Over time, the role of teacher changed—games became reality—and domination turned to desire. Despite an insurmountable history, Claire and Tony found their way back to one another.
Just when they seemed to have it all—love, respect, and the promise of a family—the game master exposed the truth. Claire’s world once again spun out of control. Unwilling to allow her child to suffer the consequences of an old vendetta, Claire fled...
At one time, Claire was held captive in an opulent mansion—then her incarceration was a cell inside a state penitentiary. Was her new prison—a tropical island—truly less lonely? Perhaps that was the game master’s plan, all along?
Who will save Claire from her oldest nightmare and her newest reality? Will it be Tony? Can he forgive her for leaving him—again? Harry? Will he utilize previously unknown connections to save the woman who infiltrates his thoughts? Maybe Phil? Will his devotion in keeping Claire and her child safe be rewarded?
As the cards are played—sins of the past, innocent victims, and truths are revealed. With compartmentalization no longer an option, is the reality too much? Could there be an even worse isolation?
With the game master dealing from a stacked deck, can this new high-stakes game possibly be won?
When it’s all over and their cards are on the table—SOME will discover their bets were too high—they have nothing left to lose—ALL will learn the crucial lesson—the most important rule—there are CONSEQUENCES for the TRUTH!

I can see how a person is going to die.
I don't know when and I don't always know who but it's a curse I've had since childhood.
There are people who call what I see a gift but I disagree. After years of trying to ignore the visions that haunt me I'm being told I have to embrace this "gift".
If I refuse the punishment will be catastrophic.
Embracing the nightmares within my own mind is the only way I can save myself... and HIM.
The only man I've ever let close.
The only man I've ever loved.
Can I let go of the fear I've carried around my whole life in order to save him?
I just don't know.

About The Author

I'm a wife, mother, wino, coffee addict and avid a lover of all types of books, but romances are my main favs. My husband likes to say reading is my obsession but I just say it's my passion... there's a difference.

I've been writing since I was a little kid and I finally decided to take the leap and actually publish when Picking up the Pieces came to me. Now that I've been bitten by the writing bug I just can't seem to stop.

Synopsis:
Makenna Lewis cringes at any mention of the word commitment. She doesn’t want or need a relationship, but she does like sex (who doesn't).

That explains Noah, Sean, and Zander, her three 'friends with benefits'.
They know the score, they know they're not the only one, and each of them provide her with a different physical need that she craves and enjoys.

Until a late night encounter with the delicious Daniel Winters turns her preconceived notion of no-commitment completely on its head.
Soon she finds herself feeling things she vowed never to feel again, and when Daniel pushes for more than she’s willing to give, she falters.
What do you do when something that you’ve known to be so wrong in the past feels so damn right?
If you’re Mac, you run and hide.
But is Daniel the type of man who takes no for an answer?

Review of Connected


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.

A Brutal Tenderness by Marata Eros
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an arc in exchange for a fair and honest review. Expected publication date:  August 26th.

For two years he has stalked her…
For two years he has blamed her…
                              For two years he has hated her…
Jewell MacLeod’s life was in some serious danger.  She changed her name, appearance and runs away after her best friend Hope is brutally murdered. Jewell spins a web of lies in order to conceal her identity from the psycho killer who wants to get her next. It turns out she is not the only one who is telling lies. Everyone around her has an agenda and Jewell has no idea.

Warning:  Read A Terrible Love (book #1) first. A Brutal Tenderness (A Terrible Love #2) is a companion novel told in Agent “Cas” Steel’s POV.  Hot as hell alpha FBI agent Cas is hell bent on avenging the death of his cousin Hope.  Cas blames her death on her so called best friend Jewell.  After getting to know Jewell he is torn.  She isn’t the spoiled selfish bitch who did nothing as she watched his cousin murdered.    Cas never expected to fall hard and fast for his “live bait”…while on the job to catch a serial killer.

Marata Eros spins a wicked tail of romance and suspense. This tension filled novel takes some great twists and turns through Cas’s eyes… as well as Hope’s killers. I have to say…I was glad I re-read book one first or I might not have truly appreciated Cas’s POV as much as I did.  I found ABT to be a little regurgitated from book one (some of the dialogue and retelling of a story) -- but that was ok with me since I LOVED book one. Cas’s POV was great. I loved getting to dig deep into the steamy recesses of his alpha male/bad boy brain. The writer did a great job unraveling the back story. If you loved A Terrible Love and Cas…then you will love getting more Cas in A Brutal Tenderness. 3.75 – 4 Cas-stars.

Vanessa Fewlings Enthrall Book Tour

This is the world of the forbidden. This is the embrace of Enthrall.

Mia Lauren is a single, twenty-one-year old working in a West Hollywood art store who dreams of one day becoming a fashion designer. When an unexpected offer arises to work at Enthrall, L.A.'s premier fetish club for the wealthy, Mia accepts. It's a salary beyond her wildest imagination.

Mia becomes the secretary to the club's assistant director, blond and broody Richard Booth. Richard is not only one of L.A.'s most beautiful and wealthiest men, he is also the club's senior dominant. Mia is both drawn and terrified when he reveals flashes of his white-hot passion, threatening an unbound pleasure like no other. She knows her attraction may be her undoing, but the spellbinding feelings render her powerless to resist his advances.

What Mia cannot know is that Enthrall's dashing director thirty-year-old Cameron Cole, who is also the club's psychiatrist, has lured Mia to save his best friend and patient Richard from his obsession with thrill seeking. Cameron masterfully sets up sexy scenarios to ensure the collision of Richard and Mia, hoping that love will save him.

However, despite Cameron's noble intentions, he also finds himself enticed by Mia's haunting innocence. Passion and pleasure stir, forming a dangerous love triangle. This is the world of the forbidden. This is the embrace of Enthrall.

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.

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

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.

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 wont be able to write a review worthy of this book.

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.

One of my all-time favorite romance books is now on FREE on Kindle Unlimited. Hopeless by Colleen Hoover is unputdownable and on every one of my must-read book lists.



#1 New York Times bestseller

Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies...

That's what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she's never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past she wishes could just stay buried.

Sky struggles to keep him at a distance knowing he's nothing but trouble, but Holder insists on learning everything about her. After finally caving to his unwavering pursuit, Sky soon finds that Holder isn't at all who he's been claiming to be. When the secrets he's been keeping are finally revealed, every single facet of Sky's life will change forever.


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 doesn't top the charts on the NYT/Amazon bestsellers 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 storytelling 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 doesn't 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 spoiler-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 McGuire's 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!
