(Sinner's Tribe Motorcycle Club, #2)

Beyond the Cut by Sarah Castille
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Sinner's Tribe Motorcycle Club series will get you revved up for sure! This second installment is hotter and more sinful than the first!

Dawn mother of two and surviving through her life, barely! So she had 2 selfish nights with Cade, his touch forever marked her in ways she never thought possible. With a burning desire coursing in her veins for more of his touch, his kiss and most of all the security she feels only with him. It’s a good thing he can't take no for an answer. Showing up right when she needs only what a Sinner like him can give her.

Cade, war vet and a Sinner for life has never had good timing. He wasn't there to save his mom and nothing he does will bring back the guys he served with. His unwavering urge to protect Dawn runs about 50/50 with wanting to sink more than his teeth into her. The first woman to really shoot him down after 2 scorching sexual interludes with her, she just up and leaves. Wam-bam-I-used-you-man style. Realizing her past has some deep scars that tie into a rival motorcycle club makes the complexity of the situation way hotter and more dangerous than ever.

Holyshit, this series is better than SOA and way more pleasurable. I am pretty sure I mentioned this in my other review. Fear not I am here to let you know that Sarah Castille has her shit handled! Dishing out gritty strong women proud of their bodies and sexuality. Does it get better than that? Oh yes it does, throw in Alpha males that instill trust and will be there no matter the situation. They will accept you no matter your past and help you make a future! Hell Yes to the Sinner's Series!! They will serve up your enemies on a platter then eat you like their favorite dish.

The raw diverse sex in these books happen to be creative and tasteful, no pun intended. What I am getting at is you feel the connection; it isn't just some sweaty bodies getting busy. It is breaking down the barriers you haphazardly build an only the bold break them down and found within is more strength than you ever thought imaginable! The book is fast paced and exciting. The characters are true to themselves, the situations they face try to break them but only windup recreating them. You will need to hold on with both hands for this ride.

If you are looking for a wild, steamy book to heat up your day, start here.

I received this ARC for an honest review!

Witches Be Burned (Magic & Mayhem, #2)

Witches Be Burned by Stacey Kennedy
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Paranormal Romance is a favorite genre for me. I had really high hopes for this book, the blurb was catching and the cover was enticing as well.

I found the story background good and the idea very creative. The book first started out it seems where the last left off. I will admit I was lost for the first chapter. (I didn't read the first book in the series) I wanted to get swept up in the story, yet I found it overly descriptive. Had to suppress my urge to skim read. Nexi's character didn't connect with me. One moment she is upset Kyden doesn't treat her as a equal since he wants to protect her and the very next minute she is ready to sit on his cock. There was no buildup, no passion and I was forcing myself to keep reading. I do like the creative place this book stems from but all in all I did not enjoy the narrative way it was written.

The One You Want (The Original Heartbreakers, #0.5)

The One You Want by Gena Showalter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am a huge fan of Gena Showalter, I just love the Alien Huntress Series, Lords of the Underworld, Otherworld Assassins, Animal Instincts is my all time fav. This being said no wonder I picked up this new romance of hers.

Small towns have a way of embracing you and scorning you. This can totally be said for Kenna. I would say that she made a huge mistake but I feel your lifes path is destine regardless. At 16 Kenna started on her turbulent path, after a night of partying she ended up with child. Raising a child alone is a heavy burden now add a town full of gossipers and your load only seems to get heavier. Having a child with a nameless father isn't her only trouble, it seems she can never grow out of the adulteress shadow of her mother. Like I said Small Town.

Kenna and Dane both innocent kids finding solace in one another while their parents were getting busy. Fast forward several years and the lovebirds are getting married. This is how Kenna and Dane reconnect and try to save each other from settling into the roles others have carved out for them.

What I love most about Gena Showalter's writing isn't just the panty dropping action, she really knows how to put her heroines in life shattering situation. Not only do they step up to their challenges they prosper as well. Isn't that what we all try to accomplish?

Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping it's dreams; it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.”
― Tupac Shakur, The Rose That Grew from Concrete

The supporting characters had a southern flare and I anticipate the books to come. I enjoy the gritty realism that fertilizes their growth. The book's plot has a very real feel, it could be a place you live and that could be your friend. I alway applaud the underdog especially when they don't harbor bitterness but instead flourish and things workout not only because they make it so but because they believe the best IS yet to come.

I received this ARC so an Honest review.

The Unlikely Lady (Playful Brides, #3)

The Unlikely Lady by Valerie Bowman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Unlikely Lady was an easy book to pick up ever since I read Valerie Bowman’s short story in Christmas Brides, It Happened Under the Mistletoe.

So Garrett and Jane have this fun playful banter. The teasing and quips fly with easy between these two one would l think that they really couldn’t stand each other. Jane the know-it-all always has a sharp barb to throw his way. While Garrett does enjoy ruffling her feathers. This is how it has been for years. It seems the weeks spent at their dearest friends wedding will certainly turn all they perceived of one another inside out.

Nothing is more liberating than a Masquerade hiding your identity become another version of yourself. Everything they know stands still after a mind-blowing interlude they have under the guise of their dominos. The pleasure that erupts from the mind shattering petting makes Jane second guess all her carefully attained knowledge. Nothing beats firsthand experience.

This historical romance is playful and funny just as it is romantic. I loved Jane, she was intellectual and daring in the end she turned out to be so dynamic. Her counterpart Garrett he too was more than meets the eye; nothing beats a strong supportive man. The comradery that Jane and her friends have not to mention their crazy plans makes me want to read all of their stories. It isn’t everyday you are either laughin-your-ass-off or swooning from page to page. The plot twists and turns and with each you really see how well developed all the characters are. There was some reference to the Shakespeare play Much Ado About Nothing, this book has similar attributes. If you love to laugh and enjoy a truly diverse romance than look no further.

Wolf Bride

Wolf Bride by Elizabeth Moss
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Historical romance is what stirred my love of reading. Wolf Bride first sparked my interest on Amazon while I perused books. The cover was inviting and for a hot minute I thought it was about a shifter Wolf in a historical setting…lol.

The book is set in the time of King Henry and Anne Boleyn and their failed marriage which lead to her death. The historic point of the book was really good I feel I had somewhat of a history lesson these past 2 days reading.

Eloise is doing her duty to her family in marrying Lord Wolf. Lord Wolf was enamored with her as a young adult and now that he is done doing the kings bidding he wants a family and an heir. That is pretty much the story all the way through. These two trying to come to terms and find their pleasure. I say that due to at least 70% of the book is them screwing. Over and Over. At first I thought something more of the relationship would surface. Eloise is a whiney woman who is written out to sound like a teenager. Her sister is of the age to marry around 18… so she has to be older yet she sounds like a teenage girl uncertain about having sex and I don’t feel that she is ever comfortable in her sexuality. Eloise has this strong passionate calling to her husband but plays coy and wanton at the same time. It was the same thing page after page. Should we have sex? Her body is on fire for him but she is ashamed. Lord Wolf seems like a dick but really he is acting in her best interest!? Confusion. Repetitive. I understand that this is just my opinion but by the gods I would like that time back. I held out thinking some books have a rough start and a smooth finish. Nope. Then the snippet of what is to come, the story of her sister and I felt as though here we go again. The same storyline the same character yet the names have changed. This review is not meant to be harsh I received this ARC for an honest review. I felt it lacked creativity and depth.

Stolen Fate (The Mythean Arcana, #4)

Stolen Fate by Linsey Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Imagine if you failed your fate and to make matters worse your future is insanity.

Talk about pressure, well that is exactly what happened to Fiona. Several fates predicted she alone would find the Book of Worlds. This Book is a magical pact that safe guards people of Earth from malicious gods. Something like a treaty. Only problem being after 10 years of futile searching she is empty handed! Now she is terrified to end up much like her father since he too was a Failte, One who failed their fate. Now everything rides on Ian MacKenzie. First stop Immortal Prison for Magical Deviants to bust said long shot out of prison.

Ian has been in a hellish prison for 100 years. His days consist of brutal and backbreaking labor followed by a lonesome nights in too close of quarters. He was startled to say the least when Fiona proposed this half crazed idea in breaking into a mortal Museum and stealing back this book. So it begins the cat and mouse game. But the rules get blurry when embers of like smolder into love. Ian would do and say anything to escape and Fiona needs this too bad to be concerned.

I was initially drawn to this book for the same reason I have read the other Linsey Hall books. I just love the way she articulates. She has a lyrical descriptive edge to her writing that forces me to read more of her books. Well played. Each book even though they are in the same series is dynamic in their own rite. Sure you see cameos of past characters but other than that she is a deep well of creativity and it shows in the uniqueness of each book.

Ian and Fiona have this desperation that is fueling them. They have a tragic need to help each other and at first you think well if that is the foundation so be it. Their situation is not as Black and White as it may seem. Lines get crossed, feelings get in the way and all of a sudden the self-sacrifices’ made are ones from the heart. Did I mention that these Mythean books are also some of the sweetest hottest reads I have read this year? I do like the tie me up type of adult books, yet the message is clearly laid down here just in the most divinely way possible. The sex is like a decadent chocolate you cannot have just one….NO they all must be sampled!

So pick up the book and prepare to have your days stolen away.

I received this book for an honest review!! I loved IT!!

Lover, Divine (Mythos: Gods & Lovers #1)

Lover, Divine by A. Star
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Love is about accepting one another, trusting that each will act out of love and having faith that whatever will be will be.

What if you were in love with a God? What if he loves you and can give you now but not forever?

Your heart wants what it wants.

Siobhan and Apollo's story is really complex I felt as if they would have forever, yet he is a God and she is not. He is always honest yet I felt she gives all of herself and he can only give so much. The book was poetic and very sensual. Yet there was a sad undertone. To me at least.This will not inhibit me from reading the rest of the series, it actually intrigues me. Makes the story more... in a way. I found the writing and the plot to be well developed. The romance was define and tasteful. I enjoyed A.Star's book and look forward to reading more from this author.

Rogue Soul (The Mythean Arcana, #3)

Rogue Soul by Linsey Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Linsey Hall's Mythean Arcana series has officially filled my book void.
I stumbled upon Lindsey Hall last month. Having read the first in this series I was compelled to follow up! Good Stuff right here!!

Lets just say that when loves excruciating caress does find you the future that unfolds just maybe less happy ever after and more...regret?

Rogue Soul is a rollercoaster of a read. With stolen fates and Gods on the run. you could not ask for a more eventful book.

Andrasta's story is one of death and renewal. 2 thousand years after she haphazardly switched places with Camulos in order to take his place as a Celtic god she wants a refund! Life as a Celtic god is unfeeling and Andrasta didn't know feelings would be something she would miss until it was too late. She just needed another skilled archer to take her place and she can live the good life on Earth.

Camulos the freed Celtic god shot down by Andrasta's aim, was living quite the dream in the amazon. He would be the perfect replacement for her! Little did she know she wasn't seeing the picture quite as clear. Andrasta had no idea that other Celtic gods played important roles in pushing Camulos out and they don't want him back.

Their journey is one of old and new. I loved the back story of Camulos and Andrasta the way back story... (wink) you'll know it when you get there. The fact that they have been dancing around one another for longer than Andrasta's lifetime was a fantastic spin I didn't see coming. The way Linsey Hall built this story up was just a work of art. With this story comes a spark of love that changes the Gods twice... First without knowledge then again with purpose.
