ஜPOEஜ

I’ve been left for dead. Twice.

I’ve been threatened countless times.

And yet, someone up there still wants me alive.

My name is Poe Chambers, better known as POET.

A name given to memorialize a murderer.

Bad things happened, and now I have to live with my mistakes.

But in the center of all my chaos,

There’s an angel.

And my vow is to never allow her to suffer again.

ஜGRACEஜ

Poe has returned to me,

But he’s not the same man I once knew.

Tall, rough, brooding, and built like steel,

Yet there’s something in him that burns deep.

Revenge.

And there’s no stopping his agenda.

I want to keep him safe.

But how am I to do that,

When the men who once threatened his life,

Have now set their sights on me?

MY REVIEW:

A HEART RACING, THRILLING, IN-YOUR-FACE ROMANCE THAT NEARLY DROVE ME INSANE WITH HOW GOOD IT WAS!

Poet sure had a lot of twists, surprises, thrills, heart-wrenching moments that blew me away. Poe and Grace were unlike any character I have read before. Their story is powerful and alluring and loaded with sensual, unforgettable heat. I was amazed by the plot twists and captivated with how the story went down. Unexpected but definitely not unwanted.

Poet gets a THRILLING FIVE ACTION-PACKED STARS!

BLURB:

Mad Max is what they called me.

Turned into a bear shifter by an experiment gone wrong, every day I try to appease him.

Nothing works until I find her. Confused, I wonder how it was just that simple.

Harper Brown

I've been looking for a beast my whole life.

During the storm of the century, I got more than I bargained for. They call him Mad Max, I call him mine. Craving is a two-way street.

MY REVIEW:

Its finally a GREAT and SPOOKY and OVER THE TOP SWEET Halloween with the next Salem Experiment novella, Craving Beauty! This fast paced, sexy PNR is one for the win. Max and Harper melted my heart and made me yearn for something wicked and hot. The story was spectacular for the kind of spooky vibe that was perfect for my favorite holiday. 

This is my first go at a KL Fast story and I couldn't be happier and more excited and incredibly anxious to read more titles from her list. Even though this is her first attempt at a PNR, I thought she completely nailed it! This is definitely ALL treat with NO tricks!

Craving Beauty gets a SPOOK-TACULAR FIVE SCORCHING STARS!

ARC Review - Shelter For Penelope by Susan Stoker!

BLURB:

Dubbed the “American Princess” after her rescue from months in the hands of ISIS, soldier and firefighter Penelope Turner has struggled silently since her return to Texas. The media, the danger of her job, the pressure of knowing lives are in her hands…all of it and more has combined to slowly fill Penelope with seething guilt and doubt. Missing memories from her moment of capture cause even more angst. Is she responsible for the deaths of her Army patrol unit? And without knowing what happened, how can she be trusted by her fellow firefighters—or trust them in return?

Worse…how can she ever be worthy of the man who believes in her most?

It took seeing Penelope in the hands of terrorists—in viral videos seen around the world—for Tucker “Moose” Jacobs to realize just how much he loved his fellow firefighter. He died waiting for her rescue, then died all over again when Penelope abruptly left Texas, trying to outrun her past. Now that she’s returned, the kid gloves are off. Moose is a patient man, but even he has his limits. He loves Penelope, and he knows it’s past time for her to face her fears, and remember she has an entire tribe of friends who not only have her back, but need Pen to have theirs, as well.

In the end, Penelope will have to trust Moose, her friends, and most of all herself, if she’s going to make peace with her past…and have any kind of future.

** Shelter for Penelope is the 15th and final book in the Badge of Honor: Texas Heroes Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings. Penelope’s story started in Protecting the Future, and over the years, she’s struggled with her inner demons. Read on to see her finally get her HEA.

MY REVIEW:

The final Badge Of Honor book, Penelope's story, is a DOOZY! Fierce, intense, will-put-your-emotions-through-the-wringer, all consuming romance like I have NEVER read before! 

Penelope was a hell of a read. Penelope sure has been through some really tough stuff but instead of it making her seem weaker, I think it made her look stronger. She tries incredibly hard to work through everything and with the help of Moose and her friends, I think she finally comes out on top which sure has been a long time coming in my opinion. This particular romance has SO MANY FEELS along with mind blowing suspense and a plot that will have you reaching for those tissues. Moose and Penelope's romance still turned out to be awe-inspiring. Moose is strong, determined to help Penelope with her troubles and such all around stunning alpha male I couldn't help but to melt when it comes to this hero. 

Shelter For Penelope gets a WORLD CLASS FIVE CONSUMING STARS!

ARC Review - Vampire Bait by Olivia T. Turner!

BLURB:

I’ve been awake for centuries, but I only came alive when I saw her.
Her smell drifted through the castle and hit me so hard my legs nearly buckled.
Blood. But not just regular old blood.
Virgin blood.
My fangs were on fire. They were burning with need.
But it wasn’t just her virgin blood that I craved. It was her.
Her helpless body with the deadly curves was tempting me like never before.
Almost three centuries on this planet had not prepared me for this moment. Nothing could.
How could you prepare yourself for the moment you lay eyes on perfection? How could decades of endless boredom ready you for the thrill of seeing the most stunning creature ever created?
Obsession took root in my soul—if I have one—and it grew like a rabid monster through every inch of me.
I wanted to lock every door and window in my castle and keep her trapped with me forever.
My protective instincts were overwhelming. I needed to shield her, shelter her, guard her from harm.
But how could I do that when I’m the most dangerous thing in the world to her?
I’d have to fight my primal urges every second. It would be torture. It would be agony. But being without her would be even worse. So, I knew I had no choice.
I needed her by my side.
But when I felt her warm skin and soft curves, the thirst became unbearable.
My monster urges won. And the need to feast took over…


Ready to do some necking with the hottest Over-The-Top vampire in the past three centuries? Roderic Blackburn will stop your heart and have you crying out loud as he shows you a bloody good time. 

MY REVIEW:

My VERY first Olivia T. Turner romance and WOOOOOWZA I am in FREAKING LOVE! Vampire Bait was EXACTLY what I was looking for! Over the top HOOOOOOOOT and perfectly action-packed with a sassy heroine and a to die for hero!

This book starts right off with adrenaline pumping action and danger. I got so absorbed by this book I found myself devouring it within in an hour and I wanted SO. MUCH. MORE. This book was HOT AF and fantastic. I certainly hope after reading Vampire Bait, we get a few more books featuring a sexy vampire because let me tell you, I am craving MORE! This is the BEST book to read with Halloween coming up. It was just the right amount of spooky and a whole lot of sexy. 

Vampire Bait gets a INCREDIBLE FIVE HOT AF STARS!

MY REVIEW:

Sexy Dare has ALL my favorite things: A easy to follow and steamy plot, a drool worthy alpha male hero, a curvy and extraordinary heroine and a romance that will make you SWOON! 

Carly Phillips new book is wonderful! Sweet, heart melting, heart felt and amazing, I fell in love with the characters from the moment they were introduced. They had such fantastic chemistry you could feel the heat flying off the pages. And the fact that our heroine is curvy made this book PERFECT for me. I don't get enough romances with curvy heroines as I like so when I do find one, I snatch them up quickly. And knowing I get a curvy heroine from one of my favorite authors? PERFECTION! 

Sexy Dare gets a HEART MELTING, WEAK-IN-THE-KNEES FIVE SCORCHING STARS!

ARC Review - Onyx Dragons: Amber by Starla Night!

BLURB:

He’s the only man who threatens my inner peace.

And losing my temper would mean war. 

I’m a calm dragon shifter until someone brings out my inner monster.

Darcy is fearless.

His charm drives me crazy.

But he teases me like there would be no consequences.

As the CFO of an alien corporation, I can’t afford to make mistakes.

Mistakes that would kill my family and lead to planetary destruction.

Now, the time has come to prove that I have control over my temper.

The treaty between dragons and humans has been threatened.

The fate of this Earth is riding on my shoulders.

I can’t let the fire crackle from my hair. Not now.

And the only thing that’s coming in the way of my victory?

Darcy.

The man of my dreams... and my biggest nemesis.

MY REVIEW:

Oh my glittery, magical goodness folks! Onyx Dragons: Amber is as scrumptious as your favorite desert and just as mouthwatering and heart warming too! Amber is loaded to the max with star-aligning sweetness and awe. Darcy and Amber have the most sweetest chemistry and their romance is crazy special and beautiful.

When I found out that Amber was finally going to get her HEA I was ecstatic! And when I finally got my early copy I was blown away by how much better it turned out to be than I expected. Oh I knew it was going to be good, but what I got instead was SO. Much. More. Darcy is strong, teasing, fun, charming, caring and just as alpha as the Dragon males. And Amber...oh she was magnificent! Strong, fierce, beautiful but she also has a female vulnerability and desires that made her extra amazing in my eyes. This story was so much fun and beautiful and magical. What a special read this was!

Onyx Dragons: Amber gets a SPARKLY FIVE BEAUTIFUL STARS! Bring on more Dragons! 

ARC Review - Slay All Day by Cynthia Eden!

BLURB:

What happens when a monster hunter falls for his prey?

Harrison Key has one job—hunt and destroy monsters. He’s taken out vamps, shifters, demons…it’s all in a night’s work for him. He protects the innocent and destroys the wicked. Case closed. The job doesn’t pay much and the benefits are literally hell, but a hunter is born to the work. Gifted with super strength and speed, Harrison was created to fight monsters. There is nothing else for him in this world.

Then he meets her.

She looks like innocence but makes him think of the hottest sin. When Harrison first meets Elise Aine, she’s surrounded by vamps who are only too eager to take a bite. Harrison stakes the vamps and intends to walk away from Elise, but she has other plans. She says that she’s under supernatural attack. Elise desperately needs his protection, and she’ll pay any price. One look into her dark and gorgeous eyes, and Harrison can’t walk away. He doesn’t want to walk away. He wants her.

What Harrison doesn’t know…could just kill him.

Elise isn’t human. Not by a long shot. And she’s got big plans for Harrison. Sure, the guy may think he’s a hunter, he may believe that his job is to rid the world of the wicked, but he’s dead wrong. And with her help, Harrison may just turn out to be the wickedest one of them all. Because he’s not really a hunter. He’s something far, far more interesting. And hot. Smokin’, in fact.

He just needs to let his wild side out to play…

As the queen of the fairies, Elise was born to trick and deceive, and, with way too many enemies closing in, she needs the most powerful protector imaginable at her side. Harrison is her destined mate, if he’ll just stop fighting monsters long enough to see that deep inside…he is a beast. A beast like no other. One that can blast fire and soar into the skies. A beast who can only be bound and tamed by love.

Betrayal burns deep and cuts hard.

Can the queen of the fairies show a hunter that even monsters can love? Or when he finds out the truth about her, will rage be all that Harrison knows? Either way, things are about to get red-hot. Watch out for the flames and smoke.

Author’s Note: SLAY ALL DAY is a stand-alone with action, humor, and plenty of hot times ahead. Sit down, buckle up, and enjoy the ride!

MY REVIEW:

Slay All Day IS the perfect treat for Halloween! Its LOOOOADED with magic, mayhem, humor, sexy times and a hero that is beyond wild and a heroine who is bold, fearless, and who sparkles with personality. I DEVOURED this book far too quickly! 

I didn't want this book to end. Cynthia Eden brought this magical world to colorful, vivid life and made me yearn for another taste. Nobody does PNR like Miss Eden and Slay All Day proves that. This is perfection and beauty and everything yummy! 

Slay All Day gets a WILD AND GLITTERY FIVE SPARKLING STARS!

ARC Review - Body Shots And Betrayal by Cassandra Lawson!

BLURB:

A bet is what got me in trouble the first time.

That’s how I met my deceitful, gold-digging ex-wife. It was a sexy and fun wager that ended in us both falling in love. I fell in love with the person she was pretending to be, and she fell in love with my money. After a bitter divorce, I’m not interested in falling into that trap again. No love. No sexy bets. I’m done with it all, or so I thought until Jade walked into my life.

I didn’t even know Jade’s name when we enjoyed one incredible night of body shots and binging on each other, and I never expected to see her again. Certainly, I couldn’t have guessed she’d show up at one of my monthly poker games on the arm of Carter Weston, my ex-wife’s lover. While I may not know what Jade’s game is, I plan to find out. In case you’re wondering, there is a bet involved.

History has a strange way of repeating itself, but this time, I intend to win. All I need to do is keep my past from messing up my chances for a future with Jade.

MY REVIEW:

A laugh out loud, re-defining romantic comedy about love, lust and betrayal! Body Shots And Betrayal is an amazingly good read with a sensational, jaw-dropping hero and a never forget her heroine and a plot that just kept getting better and better the farther along I got through the book.

Cassandra Lawson is a MUST READ author. Her rom-coms are always funny, sexy, witty and charming with a sprinkle of feels to make the heart feel like its being squeezed. And Body Shots And Betrayal is my new #1! I loved how this story came together. From the very start I was captivated and charmed and I didn't want to put it down. 

Body Shots and Betrayal gets a CHARMING AND WITTY FIVE GOLD STARS!
