Review: Not Another Bad Boy

Not Another Bad Boy by Devyn Morgan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

in a way parker can't grasp the fact that Tom is his boyfriend. before him, he'd have sex in whatever way he could get it, where didn't matter, with whom mattered even less. But Tom, he was another ballgame. Tom listens, Tom cares. But Tom is as vanilla as they come and it's starting to eat Parker up. vanilla is fine but he wants more, he wants some of the passion he had before Tom was his boyfriend. he wanted to be used, to be bossed around and he liked it a bit rough too.
how will he make Tom understand?
a mutual friend is starting to see the cracks and when he confronts Parker, he breaks and confesses. sadly he doesn't just confess to their friend but to Tom as well who had happened to walk up to them and hearing it all.
the way he reacts has Parker at rock bottom and he sees no way how to work through the issue. luckily their mutual friends let him stay but in the end that wont solve anything.
the big question now is will they even talk to each other again?
this story proves that even though you can love each other a lot, you still have to communicate to make things work. not doing that leads only to a lot of heartache.

whether or not they get their HEA is for you to find out when you pick up a copy of this short story!

Review: Bossy: A Stepbrother Romance:

Bossy: A Stepbrother Romance: by Kim Linwood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

a one night stand but one neither is able to really forget about. not even exchanging names.
months later they meet again. as it turns out he's the son of the man her mother plans to marry in a few weeks! and he's her new temp boss during her summer break before she goes back to college.
it's sizzling from the second they get together again. he manages to push her every single button and it riles her up. when he starts with a practical joke, all bets are off when she plans retaliation.
not to mention the case they want her to work on. she's supposed to represent the same firm that drove her father to commit suicide... it's one big argument they can't seem to agree on.
things come to a boil and they react in the best of ways, ending up naked together. but that's not the end of everything. she's still battling with her ex, the one that prompted her braveness to have their one night stand to begin with. from texting to calling he's now moved things up and is blackmailing her with a video.
so much happening that there is so much that can go wrong. emotions are all over the place. how do you fight feelings that are now said to be forbidden, now their parents have married? will the ex get the outcome he wants?
even with the hint of forbidden hanging above them, and all the issues they have to work through, it seems they might come to some understanding eventually. how? you'll have to read for yourself. there are steaming hot parts in this book, just as much as there is time for goofing off and other times for some serious drama!
a very nice read

Review: Fall

Fall by Kaye Blue
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

bad boy, bad boy, .... you know how the song goes?
we meet up with the petran mob family. only this time we get to know Sorin a bit better.
as his brother has fallen hard for Fawn, he's more then pissed when Fawns friends keeps popping left right and center. he doesn't trust people outside of the family and he can't quite put his finger on it but this woman just rubs him the wrong way. she doesn't listen to him, she talks back to him, she doesn't shiver with fear when he tries to stare her down. he could just strangle her!
Ester is over the moon having her old BFF back in her life. she's not as happy with who'm she ended up with but she can see that Vasile is the world to her and that he'd protect her no matter what. now his brother is a whole different story. even after several months he still can't bring himself to be civil with her. there is a constant scowl on his face when he has to look at her. he's rude, he's cocky, he's full of himself. thinking he can be the boss of her, it's infuriating!
it's when Maria, Vasile and Fawn's premature born daughter, and her godparents, Soren and herself, are needed for a picture that things come to a boil. the ever present scowl just doesn't go away no matter how much Fawn threatens them but then Ester makes a very very bold move that leaves him flustered and speechless. She kissed him!
Sorin is taken aback with the boldness Esther displayed but the feelings it awoke only made it clear what had been simmering from the moment he met her months ago. thinking that a quick romp would get her out of his system, he's proven wrong. he only wants more but Esther is stubborn enough to not just give in.
both are battling with these new emotions. will they make it work? Esther isn't convinced Sorin is right for her, he's a mobster! he's violent, rude, dangerous and oh so sexy....
will they be able to just make things work or will they choose to break things up? how far will Sorin go to protect familie? and will Esther be able to adjust to a more dangerous life? she's not so sure when she gets kidnapped....

a more then good continuation in this mob saga! you already saw a bit of sorin in the first book, it isn't an easy life, this book shows even more how uneasy it can get!

Review: Keep

Keep by Kaye Blue
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

he's a bad bad man. he's the head of his clan. during a meeting the "servant" girl catches his eye, which is already unbecoming of him, he has learned himself to be ignorant of others but this girl. he can't put his finger on it. as his host offers for her to "service" him, he doesn't blink an eye. when he's offered to have sex with her, he's still able to school his features but he's made up his mind. the girl's been offered and he plans on taking his host up on that offer, even going a step further and keeping her, indefinitely.
Fawn doesn't know what is happening to her, learned to shut up and do as she's told, she just goes along as the big hulking and tattooed man drags her along, out of the house, into a fancy car and drives to his own home. she knew her "boyfriend" dealt with dangerous men and she knew this one was one of them. she was afraid she got traded from one brute to another. his calm demeanor not giving away any of his feelings or thoughts, yet there was something about him. after offering her a clean shirt and the other side of his bed, she was surprised that he didn't want anything. the day after he send a girl to go shopping with her. that same day he announces she is free to go, that he won't keep her but that isn't counting on her feelings.
he gives her one chance to change her mind : "if we go further, you are mine!" hoping she'd listen to his warning, she did the opposite, she used it as an invitation.
and thus their roller coaster journey started with a lot of passion. but how long will passion last when you have taken and claimed another's man woman as your own? he's a mob boss and he promised her nothing could ever harm her...

this is such a contrasting story that gives so much insight at the inner turmoil Vasile is having from the moment he has set eyes on Fawn. his desire to have her, his desire to keep her safe but also his need to see her happy even at the cost of his own feelings. will Fawn be strong enough to stand up to him and claim what is hers and hers alone? there are some gruesome scenes but what else would you expect from a book where the leading man is the mob boss? not daisies and butterflies!! but a good read that doesn't have hang up and keeps flowing. i had to read it in one go, just couldn't put it down.

Things get heated but when things really get interesting is when they all move up to her bedroom. leaving the men in her bed, she struggles with what is happening, so many facts pointed out to her, she being in denial. she doesn't know what to do!

it's an emotion continuation and confrontation in this series. more and more we get to learn what makes Irene Irene. so many demons to fight but is she coping? i'm not so sure. if you enjoyed reading the previous parts you will want to read this one to stay up to date how our century old vampire is doing.

what do you do when all you crave is sex? what do you do when all you feel good for is sex? you hump anything that lets you and be hump by anyone who is willing. but what is that alone isn't enough anymore? you set up a gang bang.
two of his ex's stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life and talk to him for a long time. convincing that he should join SAA, Sex Addict Anonymous. he obliges but he's not really living up to it. that is until someone else takes over the group talks and he can't do anything else but think and dream about that man.
faced with the biggest challenge in his life, he's unsure how to proceed. leave it up to him to tell the other man what he would love to happen...

a story about a hard struggle, any kind of addiction is hard to battle. how do you manage to live with it? do you give it up? do you think "screw it, i can make it work"? do you replace one addiction with another?

an emotional read. that both leads are male doesn't really matter to the conflict at the core of this story, but then again some M/m sexytime is never a bad thing to read *winks*

this is a short but whirl-winding read. i "only" gave it three starts because i strongly belief that if the story was fleshed out more this would rise to be a superb story. the premise is there, the lovemaking and attraction is there, the conflict and drama is all there. it's just that i felt a little bit cheated out of a fuller story with so many things that have been told.
i liked the story and for as short a read as it was, it did cover almost everything to have a decent HEA.

a stickler for the rules ash is flustered when he pulls over a speeding car. his bear is going crazy, screaming and urging that their mate, the one person to complete their triad, is here. it's hard on him doing his job like he normally would and it's taking him even more effort to reign in his bear.
letting her go with just a warning he can't focus on his job and goes back to town, meeting up with his mate hunter.
they meet again but unsure of everything cora doesn't grab this opportunity and just makes a quick escape after waving at the two hot men.
hunter being the complete opposite to ash, makes a move on cora the day after. she called ash, reporting a break in into her car. so it's typically hunter to make the best of it!
as they all go on a date, things start to get heated but will they stay that way?
cora's sure that her luck will run out but will it?
will she be able to "keep" ash and hunter for her own?

this fast paced read is a really awesome read. the contrast in characters is real but it just works in this fictive world.
a must read for those loving bears and menages!!

Review: Pure Blood: The Complete Series

Pure Blood: The Complete Series by Terra Wolf
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

three stars, it could easily go up to 4 or five if some things were touched up. formatting could be a bit better so it's easier to read.
here and there were a few issues with inconsistencies. there were a lot of opportunities within the story to give it a lot more depth.
it are all major factor i keep in mind when reading, HOWEVER the core of the story, build up etc is there. i would read it again and enjoy the personal torment our leading man has to go through before deciding who and what is best for him and his bear.

Review: Hunger

Hunger by Arabella Abbing
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

if you want hot, naughty, dominant, sexy and emotional, then this book will provide it all. their respective parents have moved in together. her dad has agreed that the adult son of his fiance can move in. one look is all it took for her to be in limbo. one moment it's like he's devouring her and another moment he seems so distant. their situation doesn't get easier as she's told that he just came out of rehab, not for drug or booze but he went in for being a sex addict!
she can't help but want him. what starts as a game to poke the caged lion ends up being so much more. will they work through their emotions? how will their future change? what will their parents do?
so much happens between them and once they made that one important step of sleeping together, all divine hells breaks loose. the stamina of that man, no wonder he had to go to rehab daaang!
this being a taboo story will make it a not-for-me-book for some people but if you like a hot steamy read, with a good story to tie it all together you can give this one a shot. it's reads fluently and is well written.

Review: Desert Hunt

Desert Hunt by Anna Lowe
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

it's hard for rae to find her place in a pack. she's a wolf, but so much more then just a wolf, but that is just the part of her she doesn't want the others to know for fear of being held by a pack just because she is who she is. her current pack isn't really to her liking but she can make due. when they send her away to a pack across the continent she's not sure what to expect. It takes a bit of time but she can get used to working and living on twin moon ranch.
her run in, or rather bump in, with zack has her confused and has her wolf in a very stubborn state. her wolf wants zack, bad!
will she be able to listen to her wolf? she doesn't want to, one mistake in the past as made her weary enough not to want to get involved with another shifter. but zack is zack, their attraction is sizzling and both are doing their best to not act on it.. when it's a new moon and she decides to let her own wolf loose and do her "thing" the pack alpha is angry and puts zack on her tail to find her and bring her back.
he finds her alright, together with a nasty visitor from her past. will they make it back in time? will they be able to keep fighting the attraction?
what happens when her secret gets out? the trust she had build up is crumbled in a second and she jumps to a billion conclusion.

a sweet read that in the end resolves a lot around trust. a lovely read, nice build up.

new york, new york, it isn't really what she thought it should be. with her "tail" between her legs she moves back to hope valley and it takes a short while before her old friends crack the persona she made around herself. in a way she thinks she doesn't deserve friends like that, yet they stand by her even after all the snarky comments she made about them in their school-years. as she tries to find her way around the app, after being introduced to it by Tamika herself, she comes across a 100% match. just as she found the nerve and had his sent, she notices that the man has deleted her profile. what a blow to her self esteem and the only thing she sees herself doing is deleting the app entirely.
Magnus is beyond himself when he makes the biggest mistake at the same time he gets a message that makes him see his perfect match in a completely different way. he calls in the help of Tamika. Tamika being Tamika, isn't really helping, but she lets him know that if he uses his brain he should be able to track her down.

will magnus figure out a way to find her or will he mess that up too? he knows he probably hurt her and if what tamika told him was true, his odds weren't in his favor at all!!

join in on another thrilling shiftr dating app ride! as we also get to know the app better, i can't help but want one for myself. where is Tamika when you need her? if you have bought the previous books, this one should find its place next to them to complete the collection!

Review: Kristin: Shiftr: Swipe Left for Love

Kristin: Shiftr: Swipe Left for Love by Ariana Hawkes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Ariana does it again! this time it's kristin's turn to find love and her HEA. but it isn't easy, for starters she's a journalist and they can't tell about shifters. always finding the wrong guy for her, she isn't sure whether the 100% match is right for her. as she tests out the proximity option of the app she can't belief that the one shifter that is near is Roman, her 100% match! still convinced he's not for her she tries to break of all contact and even tries setting up a date with another shifter.
will she make it to that date or has fate other plans for kristin and roman?
if you're hooked on these books this is one you can't pass up! once again the shiftr app has people making mistakes and thinking the men on there are beyond them but they're so wrong!

A Storm to Bear (Pacific Bear Clan) (Fated Mates 2) by Ana James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

i loved how brother number two had to wait and almost had to bent backwards to get his mate. knowing from an early age that she was his, having to see her move away, see her coming back with hardly any recollection about him and what happened so many years ago, is breaking his heart. still he's not giving up hope that Callie will remember him and the events that separated them. she's back in town to sort through her dying grandmothers belongings but she can't help being pulled in by Austin attraction. like a moth to a flame she keeps wanting him and he keeps coming back.
another fast paced lovestory and an update on the rest of the family, old, new and those to come.
if you like your shifters then you will like these bears! grumpy at times but just as well that they have a very high cuddly factor.

what do you do when you accidentally hit your crush and she's barely hanging onto to life? this choice is easy to make in Luke's case. without hesitation he forms the mating bond, binding Kara to him. this allows her to heal and to keep on living. he would prefer to stay with her but the moon is calling and he has no other choice but to leave her in his car and go running with his family.
Kara is a bit disorientated when she comes around, feeling worse for wear thinking she really can't be alive.
Luke can't help but feel the constant pull between them but the last thing he wants to do is push Kara. finding out she had walked in on her cheating boyfriend and finding out she only just lost both her parents, is making it hard for luke to just stay away. all he wants to do is comfort her and be there for her.
will these two find their way or will luke be doomed to live half a life?
a nice introduction to the VonBrandt family.
a lot of emotions come into play, a lot of soul searching and even more support.

Miss Black, i don't know if to love you or to hate you!!! another part after this one before we know how it all ends!!! aaargh *pulls hair*
more conflict, more drama, kidnapping, emotions all over the place,... you did not disappoint with this book. West is convinced he's turned a page and Cordelia is sure he'll prove her to be wrong. Dalton in a bit of a pickle and more of a darker plot revealing itself.
almost wished i could take that mob my my own and let the others get their HEA already.
if you enjoyed Reconstructed, this is simply a must read, no if's and but's around it, get it, read it and then pester the hell out of Miss Black to get the third part out ASAP!!

Review: Learning to Fly

Learning to Fly by Melissa Snark
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

When Cassandra gets a call from the FBI she makes one hasty decision. not even packing clothes, just her current project and purse and she leaves everything behind. showing up a week early, she's not sure if she'll be welcomed by Kyle, her new client. Luckily they let her stay and don't ask too many questions. At first that is. when they do meet, there is instant attraction and her life turns into a roller-coaster ride of emotions.
she can't help but act jittery and she knows she has to tell him why she came sooner. his brother already checked her out and he already knows what happened to her.
Kyle doesn't know the details and leaves that up to Cassandra to tell. for her it feels like a weight is lifted of her shoulders. with the bad guy still on the loose they tighten security but will it be enough?

a fast paced, well written, whirlwind romance with a HEA. a must have if you like a bit of action and drama but most of all a nice love story!

Review: Sold to the Alpha: Complete Edition

Sold to the Alpha: Complete Edition by Cara Wylde
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

i'm glad i got the chance to read all the parts together. if i had to wait for the next part i would have been a grumpy person till the next part!!
it was a real roller-coaster of emotions. once you start on the first part you just have to know how it continues.
girls are growing up together in a boarding school type of environment. they're divided into groups -on paper- as to which shifter group they would be perfect brides to. one such girls is doing her best not to be chosen, she wants to be free and would go that extra mile to get her freedom. days before she planned her escape in strolls Max and gone are her plans. he's instantly intrigued by the curvaceous woman with reddish blond hair. he can't help but admire her spunk and attitude as she brushes of their conversation.
happy for her friends to be chosen for interviews, Avelyn is more then surprised when she's called in for an interview as well. when she sees it's the same man she met earlier, she's a bit confused. she'd hoped her behavior would have made it clear she had no interest in becoming a bride. but it seems that no matter what she says of does as just the opposite effect. seeing her escape plans fall apart she just has to try, with the help of her roommates she plots a swift escape. once loose in the big dark forest behind the school she starts to feel hopeful she has made it. that is until she's convinced she's being watched, and how right she was. Max set two guardians on her tail to watch over her. defeated, she lets them bring her back to the school. tired as she is, she can't put up a fight any longer and just goes with the flow, even when Max arrives early in the morning to bring her to his home. once settled, she's confined to their room, alone with her thoughts and one maid the visits often and takes care of her meals.
it's then she decides she's still not ready to give up her freedom and starts plotting a new plan to escape.

i wonder if at that moment she would have know what her plan would set in motion, she would have made the same choices. her plan certainly didn't work out as planned, not for her, nor for Max and his clans. nor for the other people that help them.

a wonderful read that sucks you in from start to finish!!

Reposting SIW

Those that pop in from time to time know I've started to re-post cleaned up chapters of Nick through FB. They'll stay up for a few weeks after I've posted the last chapter of that book. Then it's on to Chris' story. Once more, posting one chapter a week and chapters stay available for a bit after last chapter went live. Then it's on to Adam's. I won't post those chapters because they're still up on the blog and Literotica, I will add the new chapters as I go further with their story and link accordingly.

As for Ed's story, I'm still doubting but it will be more likely I will keep that to the blog only, hopefully with enough written to keep up a nice schedule for the rough draft. 

There will be a prologue story and once I start that one I'll be starting to take down the free reads from SIW because I'll be starting the final stage for publishing.

If you want to be part of the process, I still have room for beta readers. If interested reply here or send me a pm via FB. If you're familiar with my work : YAY, if not : YAY. A fresh pair of eyes is always welcome!

I'm also setting up a new newsletter, not intended to spam you twenty-five a day but to keep you updated with my progress. You can sign up through the blog or through my FB-page. I'm not sending out much at the moment because I'm busy cleaning up Chris' story, getting my research data back in order (I lost everything...) and I'm looking into covers and I'm trying to find a good editor and and and... So many things things to do!!

Review: Encore

Encore by Kallysten
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

we join Irene once more as she goes back to the bar where she met Rashid. she doesn't just find him but also Oliver, his vampire "boyfriend".
curious as to why Oliver is so obsessed with her music, she's easily convinced with a wager when Oliver claims to have music written by her hand but is still unfinished. going back to Oliver's place she's more then surprised to see how much of her sheet music he actually has. it's not the most recent ones either, the ones Rashid is playing in the bar, but pieces that go back centuries!

this part is a heartfelt telling of why Oliver is so much into her music as much as it is story about Irene accepting that her music, no matter how personal, is out there for others to hear. also Irene giving in to her need to "have" Rashid once more and to taste his very blood.

I'm really curious how they will eventually end up being?
this is a story with a lot of soul-searching and acceptance.
