* * * I received this copy from NetGalley and the author in exchange for my honest opinions. * * * 

Oh...my...God!!! She has done it AGAIN!! I didn't want to put down this rediculously wonderful book!! I have been a fan since King Hall and not once have I been disappointed by what Ms. Dawn has written. I loved this introduction to the new prodigies and their characters.  Can in just admit to being in love with Sin!! Oh my, so freaking much lol. God and Leric...whew...fanning my face from his hotness lol. I am curious as to where all these feelings she has for all these people are going to go...but I know where I want to see it go personally.  I am thrilled to read the next installment and am so impatient right now waiting for it lol. Obviously I am rating it in at FIVE HEARTS and that is well deserved!

Stealing Rose (The Fowler Sisters #2) by Monica Murphy

Description 

Perfect for fans of Christina Lauren and Emma Chase—the second novel in New York Timesbestselling author Monica Murphy’s sizzling series about three powerhouse sisters and the men who would have their hearts.

People say the youngest child has it easy, but nothing can be further from the truth. Unlike my two sisters, Violet and Lily, I’m never in the limelight. I just work my butt off for Fleur Cosmetics and get little to no thanks for it. I’ve been pushed too far one too many times, and I’m finally brave enough to do something about it.

Maybe my newfound courage has something to do with the amazing pink and white diamond necklace I wear to the party in Cannes. The instant those dazzling heirloom jewels touch my skin, they excite some deep, aching need inside. And when that guy—that totally gorgeous guy—locks eyes with me, I know this nice girl is going to be naughty.

For once it’s my turn. My turn to say no to my father, to outshine my sisters, to walk away from it all—straight into the arms of a mysterious stranger. But what if Caden is much more than I bargained for? Sure, he makes me feel sexy and free in a way I never have before, but there’s something else I can’t quite place—something dangerous. Maybe our “chance” meeting wasn’t so random. Maybe he was looking for me for a reason. Whatever his motive, there’s no going back now.

And maybe I don’t want to.

* * * I received this copy from NetGalley and the publisher in return for my honest opinions. * * * 

Ok, I haven't read the first book in this series, but I wasn't terribly lost while reading this one. This book is about Rose and I personally felt she was being a bit of a baby about certain things. I kept getting a feeling though throughout the book that there is something going on in her background she doesn't know about because her father treats her weird. She does find out her mother had an affair and that makes me wonder..... I hated the way Caden came into her life but loved how he tried to change for her. I think the best part was the ending lol. There were some steamy love scenes in here and who boy did I have to fan my face after some of them. Loved the bathroom scene and...what is it about elevators lmao? Anyways the story is really good, the characters are interesting in their own rights as well. Very interesting book, I'm rating it in at four hearts.

Cursed by Fire (Immortal Brothers #1) by Jacquelyn Frank

Description 

From New York Times bestselling author Jacquelyn Frank comes the scorching hot first book in a thrilling new series featuring four warrior brothers who have the power—and the curse—of immortality.

 

For centuries, Dethan has been trapped in a fiery inferno for defying the gods and snatching the power of immortality. Condemned to have his battle-hardened body licked by flames only to regenerate and be consumed all over again, Dethan has lost all hope—until the Goddess of Conflict appears. She will release him from torment—if he’ll use his power and strength as a warrior to raise an army and defeat a fierce enemy faction of gods.

 

Free to live as a man once again, Dethan meets Selinda—heir to the throne of Hexis—and his thoughts quickly turn from the conquest of cities to the conquest of this headstrong beauty. Betrothed to a cruel, calculating powermonger, Selinda needs a champion, and so Dethan enters into another bargain: If she will share her bed—and her body—with him, Dethan will save her city from destructive forces within and without. As the lovers ignite a searing passion, Dethan will risk all—even the wrath of the Goddess of Conflict—for a chance to make Selinda his forever.

My Review 

* * * I received this copy from NetGalley and the publisher in return for my honest opinions. * * * 

Beginning this book I felt horribly for Dethan for the pain he has to go through. When we find out the reasons behind this I felt it was a bit extreme to say the least. But as I've come to expect from reading previous books with God's in them they are very vengeful and love to punish people like crazy. So anyway our poor Dethan burns over and over and over again until this God shows up and offers him a deal which he takes. As he goes about his business he gets a little side tracked when he meets the lovely Selinda. I loved watching them fall for each other bit her fiancé is a horrible excuse of a man and I love watching him be put in his place lol. Throughout the whole book I fell for the characters and loved the storyline. I'm looking forward to reading the next installment! I'm rating this in at five hearts!!!

   Alyssa held up her shot, and Damien held up his half-full tumbler. She clinked his glass. "That's a pretty big shot you got there." "Big is an understatement. I like to use the term huge. And impressive." She laughed. "Oh really? Don't set yourself up for failure" His eyes never left hers as he took a big swig of his glass. "Don't take my word for it. You can judge for yourself." She folded her arms across her chest and stared back at him with a smile pressed into her plump, crimson lips. He finally silenced her. "What's wrong? No comeback? No witty retort?" "I have plenty of witty comebacks. I'm just not sure how far I want to take this tonight." His cock was doing back flips, and she was enjoying watching him squirm. He took another gulp of his drink, while hers remained untouched on the bar. "I thought you wanted that shot. Can’t handle the hard stuff after all, huh?" He placed his empty glass on the bar and taunted her with a smile. "I bet that hard-ass exterior is really just a front. Underneath it all, I bet you're just a girly-girl." Her eyes opened wide, and her face went blank. For a minute Damien thought he went too far and pissed her off. He was about to apologize, but she picked up the shot glass and drained it, then slammed it down on the bar. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him so close he felt her breath on his lips. "I'm an expert at dishing out the hard stuff. I wield a needle for a living and pierce it through raw flesh without an anesthetic. The question is, can you handle it?" Her self-righteous smirk mocked him with playful satisfaction, but Damien was about to keel over from the overwhelming heat that covered his body. Tiny dots of perspiration broke out on his forehead, and he was starting to think that maybe she was right—he couldn't handle her in the bedroom. Had he finally met his match? Could this gorgeous, ferocious woman break him? Could she be the one to make him surrender and beg for mercy? "What's the matter? You look a little stunned. Did I scare you?" "Hell no." He stepped closer. "You got me excited."

 

Out of Reach by Missy Johnson

Description

My best friend was dying and I was in love with his girl.

Andy and I had been best friends since we were eight-years old.
Watching him slowly fade away, ever closer to his final breath, made
me so incredibly angry. I knew there was nothing I could do to change it--I had given in to despair, but Andy had not. He had one last hand to play.

He wasn't going to simply sit back and wait for Death to claim him--not Andy. He was going to live life until he couldn't hold his eyes open any longer.

Andy didn't want to die in some sterile hospital and asked me to take him and Emily to the beach. It would be our last road trip together.

Emily. Emily was a problem for me.

I harbored a secret that would have torn our friendship apart. I was in love with Andy's girl, and had been since she'd walked into our sixth grade class, so many years ago.

So what kind of person am I? My best friend is dying, and it's
awful--but my heart still aches for his girl. I hate myself for
thinking beyond Andy's death and whether there could ever be a future for Emily and I, but I can't help it.

I'm in love with her.

My Review

Well, I just spent the better part of my day crying my eyes out while reading this book. I will tell you how it all began....I was trolling my Facebook to see what was going on when I saw a posting about how there were some books I could read on my Kindle Unlimited account by the author. While I haven't read her before I thought hey I like that cover so let me check it out. After reading what it was about I was even more intrigued. I don't know when the last time was that I cried this hard. It was a very ugly cry too....you know the kind....snot running, eyes red rimmed....that kind. So anyway I just have to throw in here how much I loved this book. Even though there were times I wanted to shout out at the injustice of life at what poor Andy is going though, it was well worth the tears and heartbreak to read it. I absolutely loved the tattoo he gets lol. I smiled so big when we were showed what it said. Poor Seth, going all these years being in love with someone while he knows he can never have her because then he would be betraying his best friend. The fact that he has never once acted out on his feelings in fourteen years says something wonderful about the kind of man he is. I know I fell for him more and more through the book. I loved the adventures they have and how enjoyable Andy found them. I even liked his nurse lol I know at first she was a little hard but she warmed up when Andy got ahold of her heart. Overall just a wonderful story and I am rating it in at five hearts.

I was lucky  enough  to win this book in a giveaway from the author!  I have read books by S.E. Hall before but not the other author so I was excited to read this book. First of all let me say I love books about reality shows and this one was AMAZING!!! Gosh I loved the drama  and things going on all over the place. The story was so great and we'll planned out! Ahhhh  I loved Miles so freaking much and totally didn't see it coming but it makes sense now lol. Poor Harlow and Oakley...I mean who brings their "love" on a reality show to find their soul mate? Then there is how Jasmine  is treated by the sluts  of the house when they are so much worse than her! I really lovedo how certain people were able to work past the bull cap going on around them and we're able to fine true love! Great book, great characters . ...even Jensen lol...overall rating is four hearts!!!!!

My Review

When I heard that Hilary had gone into cahoots with Jake to write this book...as well as others on the way...I was so excited I screamed for joy and my husband had to come running to make sure I was okay lol. I had been waiting forever for it to come out and since I had pre-ordered it when Midnight rolled around signaling the 10th of February I checked my kindle and low and behold it was THERE!!!! While I wanted to start reading it I had work early so had to go to bed and here it is two days later!! I finished it yesterday but had to wait till today to do my review so here goes.

If you are like me and you were able to read the first little bit of this book when Hilary and Jake did their Pre-Release party you were able to see just how exciting and sexy it was going to be lol. After reading the book I have to say I am more than excited to see what is going to happen next! I mean so far we have watched (or read if you like) Jake pleasuring two chicks in a very sexy way, he went to his brothers' club opening,  there was a bar brawl, and now somehow Dani has gotten under his skin lol....Oh man I cannot wait for this to continue....Oh..OH...OHhh and the best part is.....THERE ARE TWO HOT JAKES LOL!!! Did you forget already you silly people lmao he has a twin we get to oogle too and I hope there is a little more about him as well in the next installment!!! Overall I am rating this one in at Four Hearts and anxiously awaiting the next one!!!

My Review

*** I  received this copy from NetGalley and the publisher in return for my honest opinions.***

While reading the description of this book I felt it was something I could find myself interested in and when I began reading it I found my assumptions correct. While I do find that this is a teen novel I really enjoyed it as I enjoyed the books that this was compared to.  I admit that in the beginning of it I was a bit confused at what was going on and it took me all of a chapter to understand more of it but then I found that the purpose was to be confused and curious. We aren't supposed to understand what is going on and when I realized that it was easier for me to get through the book. 

I was really crushing on John's character at first until he seems to have lost his mind a bit while dealing with all the crap he has to deal with. I was really disappointed in the way things turned out with him and Quin but only the way it was brought about. I did like Shinobu....but it was made to appear that he was alone in his feelings for Quin and that she had no clue at what was in his heart. While everything does eventually come out and while we are a bit less confused as to their relationships, everything else comes to be confusing about what being a Seeker is. I'm not sure I understand still....however, I do find myself really anxious to read the next installment of this series lol. The end really leaves you wondering what could possibly happen next! Overall I am rating this one in at four hearts for the amazing adventures we find. 

Below the Belt (Worth the Fight, #3) by Sidney Halston

Description 

In Sidney Halston’s latest sizzling MMA romance, a former title contender turns the tables on his knockout trainer with a lesson in seduction.

Once one of the most sought-after names on the mixed martial arts circuit, Antonio “Scarface” Marino watched his career go down for the count as he chased skirts and made tabloid headlines. Now he’s finally making a comeback, and it’s all thanks to Francesca Silva, a Brazilian bombshell as tough as any of her fighters. But who’s the real Francesca: the trash-talking trainer who rides him hard, or the vulnerable woman who blushes at his touch?

Francesca went to the mat to sign Tony because she believes he still has the potential to bring big success to her gym—if she can keep his head in the cage and out of her personal life. After a short-lived marriage soured her on love, a one-night stand is all she can handle. Now Tony’s kisses are stirring up complicated feelings—especially when he agrees to face her ex in the ring. Francesca’s used to freezing guys out. But Tony’s tempting her to give in to the heat.

* * * I received this copy from NetGalley and the publisher in return for my honest opinions. * * * 

I ask you...What is hotter than a sexy MMA fighter???? My answer...not a hell of a lot lol. I love these guys who fight like warriors and beasts but love so fiercely and possessively. Granted Francesca is no shrinking violet herself and that made me even more excited while reading this. Now don't get me wrong, there is something sexy about a man protecting his woman. But a woman who can protect herself is hot too ya know. I enjoyed getting to know the characters by hearing their stories. I also love how hot their chemistry is...like off the charts lol.  

Overall a very sensual read with great characters and their friends.  I'm rating this one in at four hearts.  I'd love to read more by this author.

I was never sure if I liked Aaron but after this I love him.  Charlie at first is a brat I felt she did have reasons to be upset but she just took off like a child instead of demanding answers right away. After everything is cleared up it got better and when her surprising abilities come about I was just shocked!  Never saw it coming for sure lol. Yes the traitor has finally been captured but there is more going on than can be explained right now. I'm already craving the next installment and am going through withdrawls!  Another five hearts!!
