ARC Review - Her Loving Hero (Black Dawn #8) by Caitlyn O'Leary!



BLURB:

Wyatt’s SEAL Team rescued Emily when she was held hostage in Saudi Arabia. He’s spent the last five months subtly courting her friendship, after she moved stateside to start a new life.

Emily struggles desperately not to let one horrifying night define who she is. Learning how to step away from the pain and panic is a battle every day, but she will never give into the darkness.

Emily’s family is still stationed in the Middle East, and things begin to heat up. She is determined to help them, especially when she finds out that her teenage sister is planning on going into the lion’s den to find out information on a terrorist plot. As the situation spirals out of control Emily turns to Wyatt for help.

As Wyatt gets things under control overseas, Emily thanks God for Wyatt’s strength, friendship and ability to protect her family. But now she realizes her feelings run deeper than friendship and she starts dreaming the impossible. Will she ever be strong and worthy enough for this man? Is it possible that he could be her loving hero?



MY REVIEW:

Get ready for the ULTIMATE romantic, sweet, patient read yet from Caitlyn O'Leary! I LOOOOOOVED Wyatt y'all! He is patient, extremely caring, protective, gorgeous and super smart. He had my heart melting. And Emily...she is a special heroine who I absolutely adored! Beautiful, brave and strong she was the perfect match to Wyatt.

Wyatt and Emily made such a beautiful and inspirational couple. They brought fun and romance into the story along with some perfect tension. And if you like a great suspense with danger and action, you will also enjoy this book! There was the PERFECT mix of suspense and romance that was IMPOSSIBLE not to love. This is one of my favorite series and I can't wait to see what else Miss O'Leary will bring to us next! 

Her Loving Hero gets a DELIGHTFULLY SWEET FIVE ROMANTIC STARS!

ARC Review - Hardboiled Babymaker by Allison Moss!



BLURB:

Sophia thinks she’s missed her chance to start a family. I’m going to show her how wrong she is. I’ll put a baby in her, and she’s going to love every second of it. 

I never thought I would have kids, a wife, a family. It just isn’t something that registers for a guy like me with a rough life and a dangerous past. 

But that was before I met Sophia, and everything changed. 

Sophia is the kind of woman I never thought I could have. She’s beautiful, smart, caring— and absolutely irresistible to me. 

She’s given up on finding love and starting a family. She doesn’t think she’ll ever become a mother. 

I’m going to show her how deliciously wrong she is. 

By the time I’m done with Sophia, there’s not going to be even a tiny chance that she isn’t pregnant. 

I’ll put a baby in her, even if it means trying over and over again. 

Okay, this is a wild one! Absolutely ridiculous, insta-everything, I-want-you-to-have-my-babies-at-first-sight. Probably the most over-the-top thing I’ve ever written. Sweet, fun, and lots of babymaking with a super possessive alpha who will not be denied. Happy reading! As always, this book can be fully enjoyed as a standalone read. 

Safe. HEA. No cheating, no love triangles, no cliffhangers. 18+

MY REVIEW:

Who is ready for more insta hotness? Allison Moss delivers another EXTREMELY satisfying, yummilicious romance with LOTS AND LOTS of WICKED HOT HEAT and a hero that will make you SWOON on the spot along with a heroine who is completely likable. 

Hardboiled Babymaker is a fast paced sweet read. I fell in hardboiled (snort) lust and love with this plot! It begs a reader to dive in and prepare to get hot and bothered. A very delectable read.

Hardboiled Babymaker gets a HOT AND YUMMY FIVE BOILING STARS! 

ARC Review - Malicious Desire by Laney Kaye!



BLURB:

*Please note trigger warnings*

They think they can break her, 
but if life hasn’t done it already, 
how can four men?
And once she finds a way free, 
she’ll seek revenge…

~ Terror and forbidden desire stalk the heart of the Australian Outback ~

A trip to the beach with her elementary school class turns into teacher Kayla Petrovic’s worst nightmare. Abducted. Held for ransom.
For years, Kayla’s believed she’s nothing more than the whore of her alcoholic mother’s taunts, trading her body for a roof, clothes, and money, using men’s hearts to heal her emptiness. But when the kidnappers threaten her students, she’ll sacrifice everything, including the last vestige of her self-respect, to save them.

Hardened army veteran, Captain Nick West, bears his own scars—not all of them visible. But he knows how to handle a world turned to shit. He’ll get in, retrieve the hostages, and get out, doing little damage—except to the kidnappers. They’re fair game. What he doesn’t expect is the kick in the guts of recognizing there’s something special, almost haunting, about the woman he rescues. Doesn’t matter. After years of avoiding weakness, he’s sure as hell not interested in her. Love is a flaw he cannot permit.

Refusing to be labeled as a victim but haunted by PTSD-induced nightmares and ashamed of her illicit desire for Nick, Kayla craves the sweet release of a blade. Yet, when a kidnapper tracks her down, hell-bent on revenge, can she cast off the demons of her past and find the strength to save not just herself, but the only man she may ever be able to love?


**Trigger warnings: Inspired by the Faraday School kidnappings and the #MeToo movement, this story may contain multiple triggers, including but not limited to, violence, rape, abduction, victim-blaming and shaming, cutting.

MALICIOUS DESIRE is the first in Laney Kaye’s ‘Bent, not Broken’ series, exploring the immense strength of women facing almost insurmountable odds, and the stories of the men who will love them—if they are allowed.

MY REVIEW:

A very visceral, raw, outstanding story that just made me cringe, root for the heroine like I have NEVER rooted before and made it IMPOSSIBLE not to FEEL with this book. I can't even begin to describe how this story effected me. It was profound and bold and absolutely NOTHING I have ever read before!

 Laney Kaye brings into sharp clarity what I imagine (yes I use this term because I haven't had this happen to me so I can't say for sure how one must feel) a survivor of kidnapping, rape and torture goes through during and after. Kayla is a one of a kind heroine. I bawled with the knowledge of EVERY SINGLE THING this woman went through in her life. I was heartbroken and terrified as I witnessed her torture and rape. And Nick, honestly I couldn't imagine anyone better to have rescued her and help her through her recovery. He was her strength and I believe whole heartedly that she made him want to be a better man. I can't even tell you all how much I really liked this book. This new series is one that will stick with me for a long time and I am very eager for the next one. I highly suggest you pick this book up along with a box of tissues (cause you WILL need them). 

Malicious Desire gets a BOLD FIVE STUNNING STARS!

Choose Me by RC Boldt
Release Date: May 21, 2019

Choose Me, RC Boldt cover 1.jpg

Choose Me, an all-new standalone coming-of-age romance
by RC Boldt.
Wearing the nicest suit I own, I stand in the very back with a flask full of whiskey in my inner pocket. I put on a brave face as I watch her walk down the aisle.
Because it’s too late.
I refuse to be the bastard who makes her cry on her wedding day, but I’m dying to tell her what I’ve always known. She’s my best friend, but she doesn’t realize she owns my f*cking heart and soul, too.
Each step down that aisle takes her farther away from me and brings her closer to him, forcing me to face the truth: I’ve fallen in love with someone who can’t be mine. If she’d just turn around, maybe she’d realize I love her more than he ever could.
I won’t ruin her perfect day, but my broken heart begs me to try and convince her.
Choose me.

MY REVIEW:

OMG RC Boldt wrote the most romantic, emotionally charged, sweet romance to date! It was perfection! Choose Me had ALLLLLL the feels and then some more. It was cute, sexy, heart wrenching and made you think of hearts and flowers. This is a friends to lovers story like NONE OTHER and readers will fall all over themselves to get another taste!

I really loved these characters. From the moment they met when they were kids, I knew that I was about to read something that will melt my heart like nothing else before. It was a powerfully romantic read. The moments of past and present make you really grasp the full impact of the feelings between hero and heroine. It was quite remarkable!

Choose Me gets a HEART MELTING FIVE BRILLIANT STARS!

Excerpt:
“Hollis?” I startle at the male voice calling my name. When I turn, I find a guy about my height wearing a button-down shirt beneath a sport coat and a pair of pressed slacks. He regards me with a mixture of surprise and recognition while I have no idea who the hell he is. He steps closer with a smile. “Sorry to catch you off guard,” he apologizes and holds out his hand to me. “Grant Stevenson.” I shake his hand warily. “Hollis Barnes.” I pause before adding, “But somehow, you already knew that.” He grins, and if I’m being completely honest, I don’t detect any douchebag vibes. “I recognized you from one of the photos Magnolia has in her room of the two of you.” It takes all my control to suppress the jolt that zigzags through me at his words. She still keeps a photo of us? His eyes crinkle at the corners, and he lifts his chin to gesture to me. “Although I have to be honest, the ink and beard initially threw me off.” A surprised laugh escapes me, and I slide my hands into my pockets. Grant steps closer and glances around before lowering his voice. “I’m actually glad you’re here. I know you and Magnolia haven’t seen one another in a while, but you’re her oldest friend…” Oldest friend. Not best friend. I don’t miss the phrasing. Although I don’t feel it’s intentional, it cuts deep just the same. “I’m nervous as hell, and I’m hopin’ you can tell me if she’d like this.” It takes me a moment to realize what he’s pulled out of his pocket. A velvet ring box and a packet of Pop Rocks. Fuck, fuck, fuck. I resist the urge to rub at the center of my chest, where searing pain radiates. He flicks open the box to reveal a ring with a large diamond that’s fancy as hell. Something Mrs. Barton would love and deem appropriate. But Magnolia? Hell no. “Her mom helped me pick it out.” Exactly. “And I know she loves Pop Rocks since she always has a pack.” Not the strawberry flavor. But he’s trying. I can see the nervousness in his expression. The hope. The excitement. I can’t crush this guy. He’s exactly what her parents have always wanted for her. The kind of guy who doesn’t get his hands dirty. The one with money and connections. The one who can give her the future her parents expect her to have. The one who won’t come home with rough hands, callused to hell and back from working on a project that’s for a high-end client or due to be auctioned off to a car collector with more money than they know what to do with. The man who wears button-downs like they’re second skin. Designer clothes. So caught up in my thoughts, I don’t immediately realize that he’s pocketed the items and is gazing in another direction. When I turn and follow his focus, catching sight of her weaving through the crowd, I take advantage of the moment and let my eyes drink her in. She’s…so goddamn beautiful. Her long blond hair spills down her back, and even beneath the shapeless graduation gown, her sleek, tanned legs peek out from the bottom hem, her heels accentuating her toned calf muscles. When she catches sight of Grant, her entire face lights up, and…goddammit. I can’t do this. This was a fucking mistake. It’s like someone’s performing open heart surgery and just cracked my chest open without anesthesia.

MY REVIEW:

Marquita Valentine won me over again with her latest book, Seducing The Billionaire's Daughter! Sexy, charming, crackling with electrifying tension, this book was really something special. This plot  was all sorts of perfect. A little bit of trickery, a whole  lot of romance and a turn of events neither Sawyer nor London expected and you get a story that is captivating.

I loved how this story was written. Its smooth, nicely paced and romantic to boot! The banter was witty and sigh worthy too.

WW Regret FOR WEB.jpg

Every little girl dreams of the fairytale. The one where the white knight rushes in to save her from the clutches of evil. They fall in love, have babies, and live happily ever after.
By that definition, my life should have been a fairytale too.
When I was eight years old, Caven Hunt saved me from the worst kind of evil to walk the Earth. It didn’t matter that I was a kid. I fell in love with him all the same.
But that was where my fairytale ended.
Years later, a one-night stand during the darkest time imaginable gave us a little girl. It was nothing compared to the pitch black that consumed me when I was forced to leave her with Caven for good.
At the end of every fairytale, the happily-ever-after is the one thing that remains consistent. It wasn’t going to be mine, but there hadn’t been a night that passed where I hadn’t prayed that it would be hers.
I owed Caven my life.
However, I owed that innocent child more.
And that included ripping the heart from my chest and facing her father again.
