Holding Her Hand (The Reed Brothers #9) by Tammy Falkner




My Rating: Four Stars 

Series: Book 9 in The Reed Brothers Series

Sex Scenes: YES!!!!

Genre: Contemporary Romance


Main Characters: Lark & Ryan



Still with the reed family here!



This book, I've got to say that I liked a lot! but I'm starting to feel as if the falling is happening too fast anyone else here with me?



What I loved about these series from the beginning, was that fabulous way in which the woman fight off these strong men approaches because they need to be sure they are what they say they are, and they won't give up the fight until they realize they are worth of them.



These two last book, even though they were really really good, they lacked that.
It went kind of like this: "Hey how are you ? oh I'm gonna fight this attraction but then... better just love him instead."



What I did love about this book was that the characters teach us to accept people with their differences and for who they are, we all are different in our own ways, but that is what makes it more interesting!

While We Waited (The Reed Brothers #8) by Tammy Falkner








My Rating: Five stars!!!!

Series: Book 8 in The Reed Brothers Series

Sex Scenes: YES!!!!

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Main Characters: Finch and Tag







So yeah, I have found my way back to this crazy amazing characters of the Reed's family and now I can't stop !!!!!


This Story, is about Tag, the long lost brother of some of the fallen from Zero girls, and Finny, the lead singer of the band.

It was weird at first to imagine them together since i kind of hated the douche, but I slowly got to know him in this book, and saw that things aren't always as they seem.

Both of them have dark past that still haunts them, and in Finch's case, this secrets and darkness have damaged her so much that she is incapable of letting herself fall in all of the senses of the word.

As all of the other books, Tammy's messages for us are related to letting go of your insecurities and finding the person that would love you for who you are.

Finding the happiness and that one person you didn't even know you needed, but since the first time you meet them you can't let go.... like magnets.

We get a little bit of the Reed's family again in this book, and their ranks keep growing !!!!!


Off to the next one !

Good Girl Gone (The Reed Brothers #7) by Tammy Falkner







My Rating: Five extra amazing stars!!!!

Series: Book 7 in The Reed Brothers Series

Sex Scenes: YES!!!!

Genre: Contemporary Romance









Oooohhhh I missed this guys so much!!!!

Another amazing story from Tammy Falkner, the story between Fallen from Zero girl "Star" and dark and brooding ex con made tattoo artist "Josh".

The book is just beautiful and perfect like the rest of the stories of these amazing men, the sex scenes are really good and you can connect from the go with the characters.

The main subject of the book in my opinion, would be letting go of your past and earning to love yourself the way you are... Embracing thee madness and fighting back the bad things that happen to good people

They help each other to open their eyes and see the people that surround them, and open their hearts to let love in.


I'm just crazy over these characters all over again, I remember reading the first book in the series a coupe of years ago and crying all over my kindle for their stories....
If you haven't read the series this is a good moment to start!!!

READ NOW!!!

Betting on the Wrong Brother, by Cathryn Fox

Book given for honest review on Netgalley.






This book was  fun starts for me!





You know the feeling you have when you start a book and the first chapter/scene just captures you? Well the scene on the elevator did that for me, just hilarious!




The story was fast paced but super sweet and sexy, the characters have amazing chemistry and you can really feel it from the beginning.

It’s not supposed to be the love story of the century, it’s just good and short, if you are looking for a short fun read this is your book!


She has some self-esteem issues based on things that happened when she was young and even though she thinks he is the worst that could happen to her, I’m pretty sure he helped her love herself again by showing her how beautiful she was.

Dirty(Quick and Dirty #.05) by Clare James





I got this book for an honest review by the publisher and I was really excited to know how Gabe became the sexy male he was on the book "Dirty little lies" from the same author.


I’ve got to say that it was a great book! 

Not in the way I would have expected thought.

He is weak, hurt, broken...Nothing like the guy we know, he is not kinky... Not even a little bit.

He has lost weight and his business is going from bad to worse.

He has lost his beacon, he is indeen lost.

I think that what I enjoyed the most was the transformation, it's really hard to picture him the way he is portrait in this book...

And his lesson learned would probably be to let go, and move forward, nothing is worth you losing your life over, no matter how painful it can be.

FORGET ME NOT...Charity Anthology Supporting Alzheimers and Brain Health by Tammy Falkner, Jane Charles, Lexi Eddings, Ava Stone, Lj Charles, Caren Crane, Diane Franks, Jerrica Knight-Catania, Andris Bear, Marquita Valentine


So this is the second book that has taken me back to my grandma this week...

I got this book for an Honest review on Netgalley and since its full of stories I first thought about saying a little bit about each.



But first and most important, this book was published to raise awareness on Alzheimer and raise money to help in the research of finding a cure to this disease.

I myself have been touched by this horrible disease, my grandma who was the most important person in the world for me, suffered from it some years  years ago, and watching her suffer and loosing herself without being able to do anything to help her was one of the worst things that has ever happened to me.

We need a cure now!

As I said before, I was going to write about each short story in the book, but after I finished reading it I realized that the beauty of this book relies on the reasons behind its publication.

The stories are beautiful and amazingly written and I'm sure you will cry your little heart out on the last one like I did, but what's most important is the fact that by reading it you will have a bigger understanding of how devastating this disease really is, it takes away the people you love.

From personal experience I can say that the earlier times of the disease are the worst for the person suffering them, being conscious that you don't remember the people that are in front of you and realizing that you are slowly slipping away.

Then afterwards there's a time when the person in front of you is no longer the person you love, and even though they can't talk anymore you can see they are suffering and the pain comes from the fact that there's nothing you can do about it.


I hope you will read this book and help in any way that you can, cause we need all the help we can get to fight this!

Vintage (volume one) by Lisa Suzanne

Book given for honest review on Netgalley.




This book was four stars for me.



I really enjoyed the story, the characters were relatable and the plot interesting and with a couple of twists.



There's a lot of mystery between Roxy and Parker since the beginning, and even though they had the whole "meet and fall for each other in a second" going on, it was justified by the weird attraction they had.



She listened to his song and felt again, that is probably the reason that makes her cling so much to him. 



He on the other hand, is a total mystery to her and to us, we don't know what motivates his obsession with her and in the beginning its just too good to be true.



The main issue they have to confront is the untruthfulness , I was totally rutting for her, anything is better than lying, but I found it annoying that she kept toying with him, good thing she finally made a choice.



This first book has a lot of potential based on the fact that there's so much going on, and it leaves us wanting to find out more !

Daydreamer, Chloe Asher

Book given by the author for honest review.

 



I was really intrigued by the book summary and I knew I had to read this book about a peculiar girl who couldn’t sleep and couldn’t tell reality from the hallucinations her mind created.

It is indeed an amazing book, truly heartbreaking.

Watching her fight with the inability to know what’s real and what is just fiction, was really hard.

I felt connected to this book in such a deeper level, I’ve always had this gigantic fear of forgetting things, it might have to do with the fact that my grandma suffered from Alzheimer, but when I was young I had this obsession with writing everything down, because I couldn’t fandom the idea of not being able to remember things and lose precious memories.

So when I read about her not knowing if she was ever loved, or remember the faces of her college friends, I felt an unbearable sadness.

We are the result of our memories, and experiences in life, and the people we meet along the way change us on a deeper level. Not being able to remember anything, made her just a shell of a person.

Until she meets this two amazing guys and she lets herself connect with them, but I just hated the feeling I had that they already knew her.

Sloan was my favorite character (obviously) even though he had a tough exterior; I could tell he had so much pain showing from the cracks on his armor.  The way he looked at her made the world seem perfect again.

But absolutely nothing could have prepared me for that ending, I’m equally heartbroken and hating this book, and so addicted to it that I can’t wait for the next one…. Please tell me there’s a next book!!!!


I still can’t get over how much this story touched me, I cried for the loss of her memories, and her new found understanding of her problem, but I also understood why her body would make her forget about everything that had happened.

If it were me I would ALWAYS choose keeping my memories, no matter how sad they can be, because even then, you have the choice of how you want to move forward, a choice that was taken from her, and she is just destined to spend her life in this dreamlike limbo where nothing is as it seems.

Dirty Little Lies, by Clare James

Five crazy hot stars!!!!!!


ARC for honest review on Netgalley.

Well this book was just perfect!


Stevie is an amazing character, when we first meet her she is broken, she doesn’t feel sexy anymore and she is in a pleasure-less relationship where she is definitely not happy.

When the secrets come out she has the perfect excuse to run away from her life and following this crazy magazine article she starts to “Get her sexy back in six easy steps”.

But that wouldn’t be possible without the sexy commanding Gabe who steals her breath away from the start, and commands her body with his dark compelling voice.

He shows her a part of herself she never knew and also helps her get in touch with the parts she lost touch with.

The fact that Stevie changes before our eyes, not only physically but also personality wise is crazy. At the end of the book she is this strong beautiful woman, who takes what she wants no questions asked, nothing like the shy different girl in a sea of Ken Dolls we meet at the beginning.

This book is about finding what you need and not settling for anything less, we all deserve to be as happy as we can be, and there is nothing you should avoid because it seems improper, if something excites you, you should go for it!

Life is short! Forget about what people would think and enjoy the ride!

The writing was really good and I felt the connection with the characters, they had extremely detailed personalities that allowed me to truly get to know them.


The sex scenes include BDSM play and its crazy good, the club’s picture in my imagination was paradise.

Naked, by Gina Gordon (A Body and Soul Novel)

I got this book for an honest review on Netgalley and I found it inspirational and beautiful.


Violet is a young woman with a secret, she looks put together and normal, but this secret has defined her for the last couple of months and her time for figuring out how to fix herself is running out.

She is isolated and the only thing that catches her attention is the beautiful neighbor, but she is keeping her distance until she has no other choice.

Being around him is addictive, and he is slowly setting her free, even though she wasn’t aware of the fact that she was a prisoner inside her own body.

Both characters had mayor self-steam issues, they were certainly different, but what both of them had in common was that they thought they weren’t good enough.

Noah is a strong beautiful man, but life has changed him, and he is unsure of his worth, and being with violet is like sticking his fingers into his wound, she is everything he is scared of, but he can’t let go.

Violet’s life is off center, and while trying to fix everything she is also slowly accepting herself again.

This is a beautiful story about loving and accepting yourself, no matter where you come from, or how you look like, we are all beautiful in our own way, for instance, her marks are symbol of her strength, she is a survivor and where you come from or your money don’t define Noah, he is passionate, talented and an amazing man, and that is what Violet loves about him.

Loving yourself makes you stronger, and there’s nothing you can’t face.


Perfect!

Wicked Lust, by Sawyer bennett

I got this book on Netgalley for an honest review and loved it even more than the first one!!!!!!!

This book was five amazing stars in my book! 

We meet Cain, head of security of the Wicked House, in the first book and I have to say I found him extremely intriguing.

This book focus on him and Sloane, she is an undercover politics reporter who sets her eyes on him to get intel about The Silo and little did she know she would find so much more .

The way she is able to break down his walls is amazing! She changes him so much, that by the end of the book we don't really recognize the dark man he was at the beginning.

She gives him newly found belief in women and maybe that's why it was such a heartbreaking moment when he finds out the truth.

I fell for the characters, and I enjoyed a lot the way the author could portrait such a bond, that I found myself suffering alongside them.

Sloan is such a pure character and Bridger is completely right when he describes her as an owner of a golden heart.


Needless to say the sex scenes are CRAZY good, and the fulfilled fantasy scene is extremely sexy.

I' ll see you in Paris, by Michelle Gable




I got this book on Netgalley for an honest review, and it was overall four stars for me.


This is a tragic love story, a story of loss and suffering… but also of new beginnings.

When Annie arrives at England and starts to unravel the mysteries of the duchess, she also starts a crazy ride to her own past.

Gus was an attractive character from the start; he had so much Intel on the background of the Duchess story, that you couldn’t stop trying to guess if it was really him.

 Till half of the book, I found myself getting bored by the slow pace and the frequent change from present to past, that’s why it took me a while to get into the book, the characters intrigued me but nothing really happened.

The second half of the book, turned into a thrilling mystery tale, where you couldn’t wait to turn to the next page.

Overall, what captured me about this story was the fact that it showed us, that it’s never too late for love and that if it was strong and real many years ago, there’s still a chance that you can go back to it!


It also amazed me, how much Pru changed, from the story of the Duchess to Annie’s mom that we first meet in the book, she was strong willed and fun, when Win described her I imagined her as a book worm but also a dreamer, nothing like Laurel.

Wicked Fall (The Wicked Horse, #1) by Sawyer Bennett

Well, this book was definitely four stars for me.







I got around to reading this great book because I got the second one on Netgalley for a review so that's next!!!! 





We first meet wolf as an independent, sexy, demanding man, who takes what he wants no questions asked and never comes back for seconds.

That is until Callie comes back to his life, the girl that could never be, she was too pure for him, so he broke her heart all those years ago.
Now she is here and she is a woman who apparently doesn't want to be treated like a little girl anymore.

Even though he fights it her pull, it's to much to handle and he succumbs into her beauty.

The sex scenes are amazing!!! the whole idea of the sex club was what sold me on the book.

I loved Wolf relationship with his best friend Bridger, and the intimacy between them drove me crazy!!! 

It made sense for him to choose her, he is that kind of guy! 

I'm off to the next book! can't wait!!!

Smash, by B.B. Hamel




I got this book for an Honest review and I found it extremely entertaining!

Alexa is a normal girl who just happens to decide that a summer fling is a great idea ! He is sexy, a fighter, super hot and makes her feel awesome, so no biggie...

But what if things went to far and now she is married to a stranger.

Even worse, he might not be that much of a stranger to her soon.


This story was fun, lots of sexy moments between them, chemistry was just perfect.
The whole tabu thing was not as we are used to with B.B. So if you are not that much into the stepbrother deal, but you still enjoy sexy guys and steamy sex scenes, this is the book for you!

Them running around trying to solve the mystery was fun and made this story such a fun read !
