Review: Scandalous by L.J. Shen







They call him The Mute for a reason.
Hard, cold and calculated, he rarely speaks.
When he does, it’s with disdain.
When he does, his words aren’t meant for me.
When he does, my stomach flips and my world tilts on its axis.
He is thirty-three.
I am eighteen.
He’s a single dad and my father’s business partner.
I’m just a kid to him and his enemy’s daughter.
He’s emotionally unavailable.
And I am…feeling. Feeling things I shouldn’t feel for him.
Trent Rexroth is going to break my heart. The writing isn’t just on the wall, it’s inked on my soul.
And yet, I can’t stay away.
A scandal is the last thing my family needs. But a scandal is what we’re going to give them.
And oh, what beautiful chaos it will be.

 REVIEW

Loved it!! I think this is my favorite L.J. Shen book to date.

I loved Trent and Edie together. Even though there’s a big age gap between them, Edie was very mature and perfect for Trent. Trent was intense and so hot! I really liked how he tried to be a better man and dad, and how much he loved Edie and Luna.

Luna was so amazing! I love that kid! She brought so much light to the story. 

Overall, a great written book about two troubled souls that found each other and proved that love does conquer all.

5/5

Review: Racer (REAL #7) by Katy Evans





A bad boy with something to prove.
A woman with a mission.
The race of their lives.
The love of a lifetime.

I don’t think his parents expected him to live up to his name—Racer Tate—but once he felt the adrenaline rush behind the wheel, he was addicted.

He's the fastest, fiercest driver around.

Scouting new talent brings me to his doorstep...
but his smile sends me to my knees.

The sexy, mysterious Racer Tate is not the kind of man a girl like me falls for. He's secretive, reckless, elusive. But his proximity pushes me beyond reason, and his kiss....

This is our last chance to win, and he is our only hope. I'm supposed to watch him—make sure he doesn't get into trouble. But it's an impossible task. And now the one in heart wrenching, toe-curling, soul-crushing trouble is me. Because when your heart belongs to someone, their truths become your own, and their secrets become your salvation...or your curse.

He says he wants me. He says I'm the One. But he also thinks he'll break my heart, one piece at a time until it's gone.

I was so excited to read this book, to read about little Racer, that once I got my copy I had to stop everything to read it. This book doesn’t disappoint. My Remy and Brooke’s son is so much more than I hoped. Lets just say "like father, like son"

Racer, a blue eyed dare devil, is one sexy man. He’s a street car racer, the best in the field. Lana is looking for the best driver to help save her family's F1 team, and she finds him in Racer. Their relationship was intense from the start. Their chemistry is palpable and you knew these two were meant for each other.

Racer has demons he needs to fight against, and he thinks he’ll never find a woman who will love him entirely. He’s beautiful, sexy, hard working and confident. But deep down he has insecurities and is afraid to show weakness. Lana likes to take care of the people she loves. She is sweet, smart and loyal. They both compliment each other beautifully.

I really enjoyed the F1 scene. I grew up watching F1 with my dad and brothers, so I was excited to read a book with a F1 racer. That whole world just captivates me, the speed, the sound of the cars and yes, the sexy drivers too.

Overall this was a great book. I loved seeing Remy, Brooke and the rest of the gang, even if it was in little scenes. It was like reuniting with family again. I highly recommend you read the entire series because its amazing!

4.5/5

Review: The Mercenary by Petra Landon






She's a prisoner of the Imperial Forces. He's a nomad with a mercenary army. Can a desperate girl's risky gamble and a fierce warrior's love turn the tide of war and rewrite the destiny of their corner of the galaxy?

In a distant corner of the galaxy, Quadrant Five burns in the flames of a deadly war. The Budheya people are one of the worst affected.

Saakshi
Imprisoned by the Ketaari Imperial Forces, a young Budheya rebel is sent to a distant space station to work in an alehouse. For a girl who has known only hardship in her short life, things could be worse. Until an old foe walks into the alehouse.

Zoran
Zoran is Hadari'Kor - notoriously fierce mercenaries who only fight for hire. Drawn to a weary-eyed server girl, Zoran is forced to confront age-old traditions and question his role in the war.

The Rebel & The Mercenary
Alone, friendless and far from home, Saakshi makes a desperate gamble to trust an enigmatic stranger whose hot gaze haunts her dreams. The echoes of this unlikely alliance reverberate across the quadrant. As a relentless enemy hunts Saakshi, Zoran must fight with everything in his arsenal to protect her. When passion ignites amidst the embers of a smoldering war, will a warrior's quest for justice bring a mighty Empire to its knees ...

Author's Note : A spirited and resilient girl, a fierce warrior with a mighty heart, a fiery passion that flares amidst the debris of a deadly war and a love that will alter the fate of an entire quadrant forms the tale of The Mercenary, a standalone story that sets the scene for The War Chronicles - a collection of SciFi Romance & Space Opera tales with romance, swashbuckling adventure & a sprinkling of action.

REVIEW


Really liked it! I am not a big sci-fi fan but this book was great! The world building was exceptional, making me feel like I was right there in space. It was very detailed but I was never bored.

I am a romance reader at heart so I loved the story of Saakshi and Zoran. Saaksi is very innocent and Zoran is so HOT!! I loved him! He’s a mercenary but has a great heart and morals. They had great chemistry together and I really enjoyed watching them grow as a couple and as individuals.

This book had it all; fantasy, romance, action and suspense. I highly recommend this book to fans of a well written fantasy/sci-fi romance novel. I can’t wait to read the next one in the series! 

4/5

Cover Reveal: Dirty Rich One Night Stand by Lisa Renee Jones


Dirty Rich One Night Stand, a sexy and stunning standalone by Lisa Renee Jones is coming October 18th, 2017!









DIRTY, RICH ONE NIGHT STAND.
That's all it was supposed to be. Her. Him. Pleasure. And then a fast goodbye. He's a stranger. And yet, he's not. She knows him even though he doesn’t know her.
He's the powerful attorney, now world-renowned after coming off the trial of a century which was publicized across the country. And I'm one of the reporters that sat in his courtroom for six full weeks.
I watched him, studied him, got to know him from afar which isn't hard since I know his exact brand of confidence, arrogance, and wealth.
I know his type. I've dated his type. Which is why when I happen to come face to face with him weeks later, when sparks fly and heat simmers between us, I know what happens if I say "yes" to Reese Summer. 
I know he'll taste like sin and sex, even before he kisses me.
I know he'll feel like pleasure and passion, even before he touches me.
I know he'll demand more than I wants to give, and yet, because I dare to give myself to him, the result will be deliciously hot.
I know that I will not leave his bed without being utterly, completely sated. 
And I know that I will leave the next morning anyway.
And so, I do. 
And so, he follows.
And as chase begins my question becomes: Is Reese Summer THE one or is he really just a dirty, arrogant lie that should have stayed a one night stand?

Review: Drumline by Stacy Kestwick





 
Traditions are important. Especially in the South.
College football. Rivalries. Tailgating. Halftime shows.
Some things just don’t change.
Until Reese Holland shows up with her long legs and no-bullshit attitude to audition for the prestigious all-male Rodner University snare line.
It doesn’t matter how much hazing she has to endure from Laird Bronson, with his narrowed green eyes and arrogant smirk. She wants that damn spot, and she’s more than good enough to earn it.
She expects there to be tension. Even friction.
But not sparks hot enough to burn the entire campus down.


https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/32308033-drumlinehttps://www.amazon.com/Drumline-Stacy-Kestwick-ebook/dp/B075CHVC6Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1505146138&sr=1-1&keywords=Drumline


This book was amazing! A perfect example of what a NA book should be. I haven't felt this way about an NA book since Elle Kennedy's The Deal.

Laird is my new book boyfriend. He is sexy as hell, sweet, loyal, smart, and has a heart of gold. He's such a great guy. Reese is very stubborn and independent but I understand why she is like that. She is very hardworking and I have lots of respect for her. I am so happy they found each other!

This book had it all. Romance, passion, humor, angst and some truly heartfelt scenes that caused me to shed some tears.

Overall I highly recommend this book to anyone that likes a well written romance novel. This is without a doubt one of my favorite books of 2017.

My most anticipated books of September


September is a month full of great new reads and I don't know how I am going to keep up!

 Here's my list of my most anticipated books for this month, in order of publication date :)






Title: Most Valuable Playboy
Author: Lauren Blakely
Publication Date: September 1

Hands down, my favorite thing in the world is to score. Touchdowns.
Don't let the fact that I'm the leading pick in the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction fool you. These days, I'm only a player on the field. I've kept my pants zipped all season long -- and it has been long -- because nothing's more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the team owner's recently-widowed and handsy-as-hell sister who's dead set on winning more than a date with me.

Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary.

She's my best friend's sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don't even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she's my girlfriend. Which would be fine except my agent tells me we've got to keep up the act while he's negotiating my contract.
Violet takes one for the team and pretends to be mine, but our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport, and I want it to go into overtime. The problem is -- I've been riding the bench for years.

How can a guy like me, who finally has a chance to prove his worth on the field, convince the girl she’s most valuable to his heart?

MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY is a brand new standalone sports romance written in the guy’s POV!

Title: If There's No Tomorrow
Author: Jennifer L. Armentrout
Publication Date: September 5

Lena Wise is always looking forward to tomorrow, especially at the start of her senior year. She's ready to pack in as much friend time as possible, to finish college applications, and to maybe let her childhood best friend Sebastian know how she really feels about him. For Lena, the upcoming year is going to be epic--one of opportunities and chances.

Until one choice, one moment, destroys everything.

Now Lena isn't looking forward to tomorrow. Not when friend time may never be the same. Not when college applications feel all but impossible. Not when Sebastian might never forgive her for what happened.

For what she let happen.

With the guilt growing each day, Lena knows that her only hope is to move on. But how can she move on when she and her friends' entire existences have been redefined? How can she move on when tomorrow isn't even guaranteed?

Title: We Own Tonight
Author: Corinne Michaels
Publication Date: September 7

From New York Times Bestseller, Corinne Michaels, comes a sexy new STANDALONE romance novel.

I’m not a one-night stand kind of woman. I’m especially not the woman who has a few drinks at a concert and ends up in bed with my childhood celebrity crush, Eli Walsh.

However, that’s exactly where I find myself.

What’s a girl to do after a drunken mistake? Run. I grab my clothes and get away from the powerful, irresistible, and best-sex-of-my-life superstar as fast as I can. His gorgeous green eyes, rock-hard body, and cocky smile have no place in my world. My life is complicated enough.

Someone forgot to tell him that.

Eli is relentless. Pushing his way into my heart, wearing me down, proving he’s nothing like I assumed, and everything I need. But when my world shatters to pieces, he holds the broken bits together. Unwillingly, I fall desperately in love with him.

He made me think we’d have forever . . . I should’ve listened when he said we could only own tonight

Title: Forget Me Not
Author: Willow Winters
Publication Date: September 12


I fell in love with a boy a long time ago.

I was only a small girl. Scared and frightened, I was taken from my home and held against my will. His father hurt me, but he protected me and kept me safe as best he could.

Until I left him.

I ran the first chance I got and even though I knew he wasn’t behind me, I didn’t stop. The branches lashed out at me, punishing me for leaving him in the hands of a monster.

I’ve never felt such guilt in my life.

Although I survived, the boy was never found. I prayed for him to be safe. I dreamed he’d be alright and come back to me. Even as a young girl I knew I loved him, but I betrayed him.

Twenty years later, all my wishes came true.

But the boy came back a man. With a grip strong enough to keep me close and a look in his eyes that warned me to never dare leave him again. I was his to keep after all.

Twenty years after leaving one hell, I entered another. Our tale was only just getting started.

It’s dark and twisted.

But that doesn’t make it any less of what it is.

A love story. Our love story

Title: Dirty Little Secret
Author: Kendall Ryan 
Publication Date: September 14

The start to a sexy new series from New York Times bestselling author, Kendall Ryan...

She’s much too innocent for me, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting the sweet, young librarian. I’m dominating and possessive, and my control streak runs a mile wide.

The way she looks at me—like I’m one of the heroes in the books she loves, like I’m broken, and she wants to be the one to piece me back together—it only complicates things further. I’m nobody’s hero.

But there’s no denying my tragic past reads like one of her favorite literary classics. It’s raw. Visceral. Captivating. And together, we’re a perfect mess.

How can I resist when the sexual sparks zapping between us set me on fire? The need to control, and claim her force my walls to come tumbling down, but when she learns about my dirty little secret, will my world come crashing down with it?

Review: Her Book Boyfriend by K.R.Grace





She believes the secret to love is in the tropes of her favorite romance novels. He’s the best friend prepared to prove her wrong.
Then comes the bet.
If she can’t land a boyfriend for prom by recreating the ten popular tropes in her favorite romance author’s books, she has to go to the prom with her.
The glitch?
They’ve been close their entire lives. He’s the rock god and school legend, while she’s the brainy sidekick who does all his dirty breakups. Thus, finding a guy who doesn’t think they’re already an item is going to be a lot harder than she thinks.
Will she land the book boyfriend of her dreams? Or will she be forced to go to prom with her best friend.
The truth is in the pages

REVIEW


It was ok.

Cam and Macey are best friends, so I was expecting a fun friends-to lovers book. It is kinda that but it took too long for them to get there. They finally get together at around the 75% mark, and to be honest I didn’t feel the love. Macey for most of the book is interested in other things other than Cam, so when they do get together I felt it wasn’t entirely believable.

Macey got on my nerves at times, with her lists and always finding something wrong with the guys she dated. I am a picky person but Macey was too much. Cam, on the other hand was a little better and I did like him. Their friendship was beautiful and I really enjoyed their interactions. Sometimes I wished they had stayed best friends.

Overall this was a quick, entertaining read but I was expecting more. 

3/5
