Maybe Matt's Miracle (The Reed Brothers #4) by Tammy Falkner

BLURB

What he needed was a miracle… 

Matthew Reed has seen his share of problems. But he’s a Reed and Reeds can overcome anything. Matt is content working in his family’s tattoo parlor with his brothers surrounding him. The only thing he’s lacking is the ability to have a family of his own. Then his battle with cancer leads him to meet a woman who just might need him as much as he needs her. 

She didn’t need anything... 

Skylar Morgan is happy. She has a boyfriend. Sure, he doesn’t make her heart pound faster and he really doesn’t support her when she needs it. But she doesn’t need much. Does she? She’s happy to be self-sufficient and she’s happy that she doesn’t have a tremendous amount of responsibility. She’s educated, has a great job, and she has enough money for a lifetime. But what she lacks, she doesn’t even realize until she meets him. And them. The ones who change her life forever.

REVIEW

I received a copy from the publisher (via netgalley) in exchange for a honest review.

5* read.

Tammy Falkner is an amazingly gifted writer. She writes stories that have everything you want that emotional gut wrenching romance books that have the perfect amount of humour too. She lets you connect with the character in such a deep and meaningful way that you feel as if your right there living every step with them too.

I love the Reed Brothers and this books on Matthew (Matt) and Skylar (Sky). I loved Skylar as one of the main leads, she was sweet sassy and didn't stand from any c*** from anyone. From the very first book in this series I've been looking forward to Matt's story and wondering how he'd live after how ill he was. This story was so beautifully emotional throughout but still has them laugh out loud moments that made this story perfect to me as a reader. Matt and Skylar are perfect together and without giving to much away the way they both dealt with the tragic circumstances they first met in and then went on from that was emotional but sweet and I loved the connection and sexual tension between the pair of them from straight away. I'm so happy Matt got his perfect leading lady and his perfect ending to his emotional story. I cant wait for the next books in this series.

Meeting the Step by Ash Adams

BLURB

Max and Chelsea couldn't deny their instant attraction, which meant trouble.

Their parents would never approve, but who said they had to know.

It all started with one kiss and a weekend alone…

Him: When I returned from vacation my father dropped the news that he was remarrying. I would have a stepsister but I didn't want one. I told him he was twenty years too late for the whole sibling thing. I hated the thought of her until we met and then I couldn't get her out of my head.

Her: When my mother told me she was going to remarry, I died inside. She moved us to the suburbs in a perfect little neighborhood, but I didn't want to be there. I knew my mother's fiance had a son that was close to my age, but I didn't want anything to do with him until he rescued me from my abusive boyfriend. Somehow, with his prince charming good looks, he had become my own personal knight in shining armor.

REVIEW

ARC kindly provided by author in exchange for a honest review.

3* read.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this book. I love forbidden romances and stepbrothers are one of my favorite forbidden story but this one I just couldn't really connect with. It started out so slow but yet seemed rushed as well so I couldn't connect with the characters at all till towards the end where I did start to get more of a connection. Like I say its a hard review for me because it is a short story and part of a series but it just didn't connect with me and was only in the last couple of chapters where I thought hmm this is getting slightly better and then it just ended and your left waiting for the next part. I will be reading the next installment to see where it goes and I hope I can connect with the characters more then to and I am intrigued to see where their relationship goes too.

EXCERPT

"I'll answer your questions if you answer mine. I mean since we are going to be siblings and all," she said.

The word sibling disgusted me. I had no brothers or sisters and I would have to set that straight.

"You'll never be my sibling," I said to her. "I don't care what our parents do."

This made her slightly relax.

"You first then," I said. 

She tensed again, the anxiousness returning. I could tell she was nervous by the way she would look into my eyes for a few seconds then turn her head. I often had that effect on women, but it was really cute coming from her. Chelsea was something else, a stranger that I wanted to know.

Flawed Love (House of Obsidian #2) by Bella Jewel

 

BLURB

Rainer Torrence is everything I could have wanted in my life and more.

He became my best friend when I was Thirteen years old.

From then on, we were inseparable. He was my first love and my first heartbreak.

But I always thought it was forever.

Until his Father died and things went bad.

Then suddenly, he disappeared.

Ten years and I didn’t see or hear from him.

Then came the call I’d be praying for– he was back in town.

Only the man I remembered is not him.

This man is quiet, deadly, and so incredibly beautiful.

He also doesn’t remember me.

He looks into my eyes, and he sees nothing.

Nothing.

So, I let him believe I’m just a girl that walked into his bar.

I let him believe I’m just a friend.

I let him use me on the cold, dark nights.

I let him believe that I am as emotionless about our relationship as he is.

I just let the secret go on and on.

But all secrets have an end, don’t they?

Wicked Indulgence (Wicked Innocence, #2) by Missy Johnson

BLURB

I’m the bad boy of rock.

I play hard and party harder, my life is every dude’s dream. Women throwing themselves at me, more money than I know what to do with and I get to do what I love.

Perform.

I thought things couldn’t get any better.

I was right.

I’m no stranger to controversy, a side effect of doing whatever the fuck I like, but maybe I’ve taken things too far this time.

Being constantly in the spotlight is hard, especially when you’re on a downhill spiral and the only place left is rock bottom.

The question is, how the fuck am I going to get myself out of this one?

REVIEW

I received a ARC from the author in exchange for a honest review.

3.5* read.

This is a novella so it is a short quick read, perfect to get more of a insight into Saxon who is a character in Wicked Innocence. You get to see what made him the man he is now and about his life with his family so I enjoyed the in depth insight we got to him.

It was a 3.5* read for me because although I did enjoy and like this book for me it was to short for some aspects of the book so it didn't work in places for me and I felt it needed more development for my own personal taste. It is a fast paced and quick book so please bare that in mind when reading it.

Rebel Ink (Wicked Ink Chronicles #3) by Laura Wright

BLURB

Vincent

Hot chicks and cool ink have been my life, my everything, for the past five years. But with one phone call that bliss is totally shot to shit. Don’t want to hear it. Don’t want to deal with it. But oh yeah, it’s coming for me. The motherfucking past. And who’s along for the ride? You’re never gonna believe it. That’s right, another blast from my past. The one and only rejection. Blondie. Hey…maybe it’s not all bad. Maybe I can finally get her - legs up and back to the mattress, that is.

Lisa

Yes, I’m getting married. And yes, it’s to ‘Buttons.’ I’m not embarrassed and I don’t think it’s a failure. Unfortunately, my bestie doesn’t agree. In fact, she thinks she has to rescue me. But ladies and gents, I’m beyond help. I’m cooked. I just want to fade into the Santa Barbara’s overly polished woodwork. If only a gorgeous tatted, foul-mouthed problem from my past would stop showing up and showing off what I’m never going to allow myself to have.

Length: 30,000 words

Note: This is a New Adult book

REVIEW

ARC kindly provided from author in exchange for a honest review.

3* review.

I received a arc from the publisher (via netgalley) in exchange for a honest review.

Rebel Ink is the third novella in the Wicked Ink Chronicles series by Laura. This ones based around Vincent and Lisa. Vincent is a tattoo artist and works for Rush who you met in First Ink. Lisa is Addies best friend who you also met in First Ink. Although it is part of a series it can be read as a standalone in my opinion. I hadn't read the first two before I read this one, I read them after and I managed fine without having read them first. 

Reason it was only a 3* for me was I found it really hard to connect with the main lead Vincent. I just didn't like him at first or throughout really he was just not for me, too full of himself and a real pig, though I did warm up to him a bit when I found out his secret but not enough to give more the a 3* review. The first chapter also confused me because it was from someone's point of view who isn't really a big part of the book. I liked Lisa and I did think her and Vincent were suited quite well so that was a plus for me. Only thing was, and this may be a spoiler for some so stop now if you don't want to know, but they didn't get together till right near the end of the book so you hardly got to see any of them as a couple. Like I say it was a ok read and I did enjoy reading the first two books after as well and will read more from this author it just wasn't worth more then 3*s for me.

REVIEW

ARC kindly provided from author in exchange for a honest review.

4* read.

This book is part 1 of a 3 part mini series. Obviously baring that in 

mind it does end in a cliff-hanger but not a one that leaves you 

tearing you hair out it just leaves you in anticipation and wanting more. Lola's a new author so I wasn't really sure what to

expect from this. In general I don't really like mini series' or cliff-

hangers but with this one the blurb drew me in and I'm so glad it 

did. From the first few chapters I was hooked, I loved Juliet's character and Dominic as the lead sexy alpha male was the perfect combination. The mix of sexual tension and sexy sex scenes was perfect and I cant wait to read the next part, I'm glad there's not to big a gap between releases as well.
