My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3474730714">3 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
SCARS ARE THE SNAPSHOTS OF OUR LIVES GOOD AND BAD. <br /><br />Francis has a huge heart except most people can't get past his appearance. The Grimm Wolves took him under their wings when he was younger and they are his family. Never actually knowing what love was/is or what it means to have someone care about you. His life was pretty bad from the start. Tortured by his parents since birth I assume, his life was not that of a normal everyday kid. <br /><br />Grace and Damien, this mother and son duo also had it rough. With her ex in prison for life for what he did to their son, she thinks her life is just going to keep on going without any interference from the ex. However since Wrecker was in charge of the Marauders MC club he makes sure they are watched. Once they find out Damien has made friends with Stitch aka Francis a war starts to brew. <br /><br />She never really paid attention to what the Marauders did or how they interfered in her life until Francis, not wanting to end anything with Francis or Damien to lose his new friend she continues to build a relationship with him. Francis knew all about the Marauders and how they treated their women. He wasn’t backing down without a fight. And he did not back down from anyone<br /><br /><br />My take:<br /><br />Behemoth, this read was okay. I am not gonna lie here. Felt choppy and the story line although unique as far as characters go felt; I don’t know a little off to me. It felt like there was a lot of repeating. A lot of always saying pretty much the same thing just in a slightly different way. Now, this is just MY perception of this book. Of course everyone has their own opinion. <br /><br />I always like to give a decent review, like I’ve said this book wasn’t bad just felt off a little to me. But I always check out books no matter the star rating, there is always a chance the book is amazing to me and not the person who reviewed it. With that being said…….go get lost in a book you’ll love tonight!! <br />

One of the reasons I love being a part of the book community is finding reads I fall in love with. This is one of them.<br /><br />Dark King by CN Crawford, ok I am not sure how the hell I found you…..but I am so freaking happy that I did!!! <br /><br />The assassins showed up ready to kill Aenor, however she was not ready to go quietly or even at all. Aenor wasn’t going down without a fight. Her and Gina lived quietly underground killing the monsters that were evil. The Fae had come for her but she knew they would. Not giving up and fighting for her and GIna's lives, she fought the two Fae assassins. <br /><br />While she struggled with the idea of killing the second Fae who was there to kill her, she knew she had to do it. However, it was not meant to be . With all it's twists and turns this story kept me captive. From the moment she comes out of the water to fight the two there to kill her to the moment she realizes once her powers are back, she won't need any protection. She will stand on her own two feet and fight those that come for her. <br /><br />I loved this! I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who loves paranormal reads! The drama, the attraction of two amazing characters and the story line ! LOVED every second of this !!! <br /><br />Go get lost in this book tonight! <br />

<strong> Because Vodka! </strong><br /><br />I loved loved loved this book! I will never get enough of King, Bear, Preppy and now Nine. I've never written a review immediately after reading the book on my tablet yet here I am . Doing that. I'm bursting with giddiness! Lenny is a strong amazing young girl who like many deals with her anxiety in her own way. And Nine omg Nine. What he goes through as a child, got me all teary eyed and wanting to punch something. With all it's drama and anxiety ridden scenario's you find yourself rooting for these two. <br /><br />The plot twist was perfect!! Never ever saw that coming and I thought it was someone else.. <br /><br />Because....reading .... Go get lost in this series right now!!!!

<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Ryan Harding. He’s running royalty. The guy I’ve been following online since I started this sport. Sure, I’ve got a crush on him, but so does nearly every other runner in the country. I’m an unknown in this world, it’s not like the prince of distance running is ever going to notice me, which is for the best. I’ve been down this road once before with the Mr. Perfect type, and I’m not doing it again.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Indigo Adams stood out the moment I saw her cross the finish line. She’s not only got a gorgeous stride and stellar kick, but possesses the tenacity and drive required to reach the top. She’s the perfect fit for our newly-formed team in Colorado, though her running potential isn’t the only thing that’s captured my attention. Indigo seems skeptical of our selection of her and even more skeptical of me and my intentions. What will it take for her to see she belongs here in Brockton, on this team… and with me?</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">(This is a spinoff from the Pepper Jones series but can be read as a standalone.)</span><br />

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2729920408">5 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
<br />
A.R. Hadley once again puts poetry to paper and her flawless writing and storytelling ability has yet again held me captive. The journey of two souls who loved fast, deeply and furiously their instantaneous connection felt with every line read....holding my breath wanting more and more. As they couldn't get enough of each other I couldn't get enough of them. I fell in love ..between the lines and I fell in love when lines were crossed even more. Love ..... is .... love. It knows no rules, no boundaries no faults. It isn't privy to justification. Kelley (Professor Nicolo) and Holly have the kind of love that knew no time frame nor boundaries. What a beautiful love story.<br />
<br />
Let me say this....Kelley is not the romantic kinda guy, he is the blunt in your face this is what I want and I know you want it just as much kinda guy. So if you have issues with guys who are dominate a bit crude and 100% honest, you might not like Kelley. I did. Took me a minute to understand and not judge but I got it.<br />
<br />
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to read this book for you and for giving us Kelley and Holly's story.<br />
<br />
Go get lost in this book tonight.<br />

<br />
I knew the moment I started reading this book I was going to love it! And I absolutely did.<br />
<br />
Griffen, he is as hard as they come. He doesnt show emotions, well anger for sure. But he doesn’t believe he deserves love and anything that comes along with that love. As sick as he is fighting for his life, you would think he would admit to his feelings for Sophie. But no, hard ass comes with his flaws and all his doubts and insecurities. He thinks he doesn’t deserve love and oh how wrong he is, he will find out soon enough.<br />
<br />
Sophie, the sweet girl who loves Griffen unconditionally. She doesn’t see flaws or insecurities or undeserved love or an undeserving person, no she sees him. She sees who is under all that bs. Her feelings for him run deep and they go back a long time. While he recovers she is by his side day in and day out. <br />
<br />
Griffen and Sophie a complicated relationship full of doubts and lack of communication. But once they start to communicate, once they realize how foolish they have been, sparks fly and the end result is everything I hoped for. I really loved this book. I hope you read their story and they better be more!!! Lol. <br />
<br />

BOOK TWO<br />
<br />
So yeah, again I didn’t realize I was getting book two of a series-duh me. <br />
<br />
However I wasn’t lost in this story, William, the younger brother with autism. His character is a sweet one with his “quirks” he gets distraught during moments of high anxiety, however as the story progresses William grows and learns that his autism doesn’t make him a bad person like his father had him believing. He is truly an honest man, kind soul with a heart of gold and he is smart and funny is his own way. <br />
<br />
Nicholas is the older brother who looks out for William and would protect him till his death if need be. Growing up they endured so many unnatural things- unnatural being things that normal society wouldn’t indulge in nor would they even dream of doing or teaching their children. Their father trained them, trained them to not respect woman to own them and control them. Until Victoria. Victoria and Nicholas are in love and the love he feels for her and the need to protect her and not her is greater the what his father tried to make him believe.<br />
<br />
Tamara is Victoria’s best friend growing up they were as close as sisters. The bond they share is unbreakable. As the storyline progressed I was engrossed in what would happen next. I did not like the things that happened to the women in this story or the way in which they treated women. However it was the necessary evil in this truly twisted tail of the secret society that needs to be brought to it’s knees. I am glad that these brothers were/are able to realize that women are not things to be owned, used and abused to their will. They are and will be the heroes that save them. <br />
<br />
If you’re looking for a twisted read, are able to handle some pretty dark stuff then I recommend this read to you. I would say this story has some triggers for people. <br />
<br />

First let me say I love this cover! Second, I loved these two guys!! They are adorable! The instant attraction is palpable and I loved reading this story. I wish it was a bit longer that’s all!! But the book was very good and I didn’t want to put it down! Yes Faris was an a$$ for not speaking up and giving Charlie his number grrrr….lol….in the end though hopefully it all works out for these two!! <br />
<br />
Thank you for this cute story of two men, looking for love and possibly finding it! Hoping there is more more more!!! <br />

<br />
In this story we meet Quinn, hard working single mom of her beautiful 18 month old d. Quinn and her sister Alice live together. Alice is finishing her college education while living with Quinn, she also helps Quinn out with watching Brooklyn from time to time. <br />
<br />
Quinn has her own business depending on herself and raising her daughter is top priority. The trauma she endured one night almost two years ago, she has worked hard learning how to deal with what had happened. <br />
<br />
Lucas, has had his share of trouble, trying to move forward with changing who he was and who he always wanted to be. As a member of the Bayou Devils MC for ten years now, at first the clubs reputation was not a positive one. However, they have worked hard to make that change and turn it around for the better. Lucas and his younger brother Clay have been on their own for years with the help of Iris (who raised them). Clay has his troubles as well, and sometime those troubles can not be helped unless they truly want it. <br />
<br />
One accident. Right in front of Lucas will change EVERYTHING for him and Quinn. A chance meeting, destined to happen. Bringing two souls together that were always meant to be, will they be able to overcome every single thing thrown at them? I think they can pull through for true love destined them to be together. <br />
<br />
I loved this story of Lucas and Quinn, I love her independence, I love her strength and I love that she fought and she fought hard to make her life better. Lucas always was and will be a good man. With his calming nature and his love for Quinn and Brooklyn, knowing this was who he was meant for, it is an amazing love story. One that I will always love! Thank you for this story of these three beautiful souls. <br />

Dane doesn't want to work with the one woman who still twists him up inside, but he can't refuse a direct order from his commanding officer.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Ivy's on a mission of her own--to put the ruthless drug dealer she blames for her mother's death out of business for good. If she has to work with Dane to get it done, she will. And she absolutely will not fall for his hard muscles and killer smile ever again. Once burned, twice shy.</span><br />

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2532628226">5 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
Kick, she is the life of the party, beautiful, easy going and flirty. Not afraid of her sexuality or the fact that she likes to have a good time. Parties etc….She seems to have it all…...right? <br />
<br />
Lydia aka Kick and her sister Shay are the Spark twins. They both attend the same college and Shay has her sites set on going pro. Kick? Well she seems more like ...well…. like she will eventually get to making that decision soon enough. One night Kick hits a concert, music is her thing along with swimming and blogging as well. Seeing Kings of Sound a band she caught on youtube, she knew Jack was the one she wanted to check out. End of concert she makes sure she meets him. And that was the beginning of the end for Kick and her one nighters…( she didn’t know it at the time). <br />
<br />
Alright there is alot going on here in this story, one of the most important (there are a few) is what Kick goes through one night. I think as a woman, as a person who has experienced similar situations just like Kick, so similar it kind of freaked me out. Anyway, not to take away from this review. When one is traumatized by an event, it is hard to move forward. Some move forward but it’s really not moving forward. It’s going thru the motions, eventually that catches up with you and when it does it can hit hard! <br />
<br />
I LOVED LOVED LOVED every part of this story. I devoured this. What Kick goes through and how she gets to the other end of it only makes her a stronger person and made her relationship even stronger. I LOVE Jack too. His persistence and love for Kick, *sigh. LOVE HIM.<br />
<br />
This story touches on some very important and real life issues we as women face. With tears in my eyes, shaking my head and telling Kick it’s wasn’t her fault *sigh…...I could not put this down. Forgiveness starts within yourself. Please give this a chance. I promise you, you will love it.

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2324038137">5 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
Aaaaah yes, young love. *SMILES* I remember those days lol. <br />
<br />
So we get to meet young Maverick in Torn and he is the best friend of Ryan’s brother Dean who is her twin brother. Maverick lives a few houses down. I love the interactions between Maverick and Ryan (Rebel), her wit is hilarious and his draw to her is palpable. So is her draw to him. While dealing with loss and the temper of his father (who is grief-stricken) Maverick wants nothing more than to put distance between his home and his father. Knowing he doesn’t want to hurt Dean with admitting his feelings for his sister he just forces them down. <br />
<br />
Maverick makes a few decisions that change a hell of a lot of things. The biggest one is his relationship with Ryan. I don’t want to give away too much of this really great read, so I will not go any further! 5 Stars from me! Must read Tattered which is book 2!! <br />
<br />
Happy reading :)

<br />
Well for one I love the artist this reminds me of and two this was pretty good. A little slow paced with the back forth between Blake and Zach. Blake never hid her feelings for Zach and Zach well he was committed to her brother to never go there with Blake no matter what. But when Blake needs help Zach is the perfect guy for the job. <br />
<br />
Being in the public eye did not help anything or maybe it did? The romance that blooms between the two was always in the making. <br />
<br />
I did enjoy this story and the interactions between them were perfect! Anywho….loved this read! I would recommend it. <br />

My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2384065375">5 of 5 stars</a><br />
<br />
Theo (Dr. Grant) has worked very hard to accomplish all he has, his relationship with his current “girlfriend” is purely physical. She doesn’t fulllfill anything for him although he really wasn’t in it to be full filled emotionally he wanted the physical contact nothing more nothing less. Oh how I adore our Dr. Grant……..I know losing a loved one is the hardest thing you ever face, and doing so at a young age was very traumatic for our dear sweet Dr. How can he heal those wounds when he keeps trying to ignore them? Then he gets some bad news.<br />
<br />
Eden Barnett, she has just experienced a tragic loss. Feeling alone in the loss of the ones she loved she seems to shut down her emotions. Although she has a very close friend it feels as though she never really deals with her loss. Her Uncle Vince wants to get her some therapy, all though his motives seemed well intended I still questioned his sincerity. <br />
<br />
Eden and Dr. Grant, from day one of their meeting you knew there was that spark, you could feel it. It may have only been from across a room at a glance but you felt that! Uncle Vince sets up some therapy sessions with Dr. Grant, it’s the best thing this guy does! Lol<br />
<br />
There are no lulls in this story from page one to the last I was captivated. The perfectly timed twists and some majorly hot... HOT sex scenes and a blooming romance it was easy to get sweeped away. I loved the storyline of these two and I loved that we get to meet some interesting characters. I am looking forward to reading more of Eden and Dr. Grant and I hope we learn more of Alex and hopefully Steel!! I highly recommend!! Go get lost in this read! <br />

<br />
As far back as sexy, blue-eyed Andrew Darling can remember, money provided

vacations. But his life of luxury comes to a crashing halt with a single
phone call.
<br />
Forced to work at his parents’ advertising agency, Andrew reconnects with
Morgan Montgomery, a newly divorced woman whose spirited personality and
hard work have earned her the respect of her employers and colleagues.

Synopsis:<br />
<br />
With twelve hellhounds after her, pregnant Charley Davidson takes refuge at the only place she thinks they can't get to her: the grounds of an abandoned convent. But after months of being cooped up there, Charley is ready to pop. Both metaphorically and literally since she is now roughly the size of a beached whale. Fortunately, a new case has captured her attention, one that involves a murder on the very grounds the team has taken shelter upon. A decades-old murder of the newly-vowed nun she keeps seeing in the shadows is almost enough to pull her out of her doldrums.<br />
<br />
Charley's been forbidden to step foot off the sacred grounds. While the angry hellhounds can't traverse the consecrated soil, they can lurk just beyond its borders. They have the entire team on edge, especially Reyes. And if Charley didn't know better, she would swear Reyes is getting sick. He grows hotter with every moment that passes, his heat scorching across her skin every time he's near, but naturally he swears he's fine.<br />
<br />
While the team searches for clues on the Twelve, Charley just wants answers and is powerless to get them. But the mass of friends they've accrued helps. They convince her even more that everyone in her recent life has somehow been drawn to her, as though they were a part of a bigger picture all along. But the good feelings don't last for long because Charley is about to get the surprise of her crazy, mixed-up, supernatural life….<br />

That’s what happened to me reading this! Charley, my god how much more can she take??? I cried, yup, cried for her. Reyes, he gets better with each book!<br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show">Charley is off with Reyes, living in a convent staying put and keeping safe from the hellhounds they think are out to get them. They pretty much made it their home, and baby is growing perfectly. Charley is just as sarcastic and funny as usual and of course Reyes is just as sexy and desirable too. Danger is never far from Charley and book 8 is no exception. Even with her ever growing belly Charley still seems to find herself in trouble. So many questions finally get answered, and more questions arise!<br /><br />
</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">Ms. Jones you really surprised me with some of those twists! I LOVED it. I hate a book that is so predictable that I know what’s coming. I want suspense. I want a funny sarcastic leading lady. I want a sexy as sin leading man. I want desire. I want romance. I want breathtaking moments! And this is all of those and so much more.<br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show">Thank you for this amazing story! Thank you for Reyes!! *wink. I look forward to much more on Charley, Reyes and the gang! Keep them coming!!</span></div>

PLAYING DIRTY (A Bantam Trade Paperback Original; On Sale May 12, 2015) is a new erotic romance trilogy from USA Today bestselling author C. L. Parker.<br />
<br />
Shaw Matthews plays to win, and he intends to snag a coveted partnership at San Diego’s hottest sports agency by signing America’s top athlete. Only one woman stands in his way: rival agent Cassidy Whalen. But eliminating the competition will be Shaw’s pleasure when he concocts an ingenious plan to seduce Cassidy—that is, until Cassidy turns the tables and their steamy encounters break all the rules.<br />
<br />
Tantalizing from start to finish, PLAYING DIRTY leaves readers eager for the next book in Parker’s addictive series, Getting Rough (On Sale: 11/10/15).<br />
<br />
C. L. Parker is a romance author who writes stories that sizzle. She’s a small-town girl with big-city dreams and enough tenacity to see them come to fruition. Having been the outgoing sort all her life—which translates to “she just wouldn’t shut the hell up”—it’s no wonder Parker eventually turned to writing as a way to let her voice, and those of the people living inside her head, be heard. She loves hard, laughs until it hurts, and lives like there’s no tomorrow. In her world, everything truly does happen for a reason.<br />

<strong>Excerpt One:</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Her hands hung motionless, reddened knuckles submerged beneath the sparse bubbles. A soft breeze blew the yellow curtain above the sink. The pale fabric framed the world outside her modest kitchen—a yard that held a large dog and two little girls dancing in circles, bare feet hidden in the slightly overgrown grass. Her mouth lifted on both sides. It was a pleasant sight.<br />
<br />
The loud bang of a door shook her out of her thoughts. She wiped her hands on the dish towel draped on the edge of the counter and pushed the wisps of copper hair off of her temples. Another smile graced her pale skin—the one reserved for her husband.<br />
<br />
A warm hand pressed against the silken fabric of her sundress, cupping her just on the edge of forceful. Her back naturally arched in response. The breath at her ear was hot and moist—much like the spot being caressed. The deft fingers lifted the material and gripped her hips, then one against her back, forcing her to lean against the sink.<br />
<br />
The backyard was now an empty expanse of green. The swing creaked and swayed as if ridden by a phantom. Back and forth, back and forth. The sight of the childless view should have concerned her, but she couldn’t grasp the emotion as it flitted away as quickly as it occurred to her.<br />
<br />
Veins and bones pushed against the skin of her fingers, as she gripped the silver metal of the sink’s edge. Barefoot and restless—her mouth lay open, but the noises she was sure she was making had no vibration. The only sound was the panting coming from behind her. The voice murmuring shocking things—things that made her feel dirty and sexy all at once.<br />
<br />
Her body shuddered and shook as she jolted from the pillow cradling her head. The sweat beading on her lower back slid down into her underwear as she sat up. Once she gained her bearings, she pushed the damp hair off her forehead. For the briefest of moments, she was angry at the man laying beside her…for all she’d given up…because he wasn’t the man in her dream. The man from her dream hadn’t touched her in real life in over a decade, but still managed to hold court in her subconscious when least expected.<br />
<br />
Her breath slowed and her anger fell away. The kids from the yard were in their small bedrooms down the hall. Their father snored softly beside her, oblivious to her extra-marital fantasies. Guilt was the next emotion to surface, but she couldn’t control who appeared in her dreams any more than she could control the weather.<br />
<br />
She loved her kids. She loved her husband…She had a pleasant life.<br />
<br />
But pleasant, as of late, left her feeling hollow and wanting.<br />

Jessica Scott After The War Book Tour + Book Review</div>
The second book in the emotional new Homefront series from USA Today Bestselling author Jessica Scott<br />
<br />
A terrible loss…<br />
<br />
Captain Sarah Anders lost her husband to the Iraq war and has nearly lost the career she loves. Sent to Fort Hood, she only wants to do her job and take care of the daughter she’s raising on her own. She never counted on running straight into a memory she’d tried to forget.<br />
<br />
A love he never forgot...<br />
<br />
Captain Sean Nichols never got over Sarah. He simply tried to forget her amidst the war and the chaos of combat. But when she’s assigned to investigate his unit, he comes face to face with the woman no war or any amount of time could make him forget.<br />
<br />
A dark secret…<br />
<br />
As Sarah gets closer to the truth, Sean must accept that actions he took during the war may end the tentative love building between them. And even if Sarah can forgive him, Sean may never be able to forgive himself.<br />

<strong>Excerpt:</strong><br />
<br />
“I’m sorry you have to go through this alone.”<br />
<br />
“Thank you for saying that.” She blinked quickly, and she heard a rustle of blankets. Her mind detoured into a very unprofessional space. “Did you just get into bed?”<br />
<br />
He laughed quietly. “Yeah. Are you?”<br />
<br />
“Yeah.” There was something illicit in that simple agreement. Illicit and enticing all at once.<br />
<br />
“So we’re in bed together?”<br />
<br />
“Ha ha ha.” She cleared her throat, though, as a fresh heat traced over her skin, warm and needy. “Tell me more about Kearney.”<br />
<br />
“Damn, and here I thought you were going to ask me what I was wearing to bed.”<br />
<br />
She hesitated. Only for a moment, not giving herself time to talk herself out of her next words. “What are you wearing to bed?”<br />
<br />
A silence that let her mind wander. “Sweats.” He paused. When he spoke, his voice was husky and thick. “Tell me what you’re wearing.”<br />
<br />
“Yoga pants and a T-shirt,” she said softly, her cheeks turning hot. Was she really having this conversation?<br />
<br />
“Sarah?”<br />
<br />
“Yeah?”<br />
<br />
“This doesn’t feel wrong to me. I just wanted you to know that.”<br />

This is the first book by author Jessica Scott that I have read. I was not disappointed in the least. As a lover of Military Romance this was a refreshing change getting the view point of a woman that had been to war, been injured and lost her husband.</div>
Sarah is left widowed and raising her child as a single parent while in the military. She has no family to help her and finds her self overwhelmed at times. I love how strong she is and how much she loves her little girl and does not give up.<br />
<br />
Now Sean is back in her life. A love from long ago. Can they forgive each other and make a life together? I was cheering for them the entire time!<br />
<br />
This was an amazing and heart warming story from start to finish. The characters were very likable, well developed and the story flowed beautifully. I highly recommend this wonderful story.<br />
