REVIEW

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

5* read.

I love love love this series so much so I couldn't wait to read this as I've fallen in love with Ren and Ash. Two really complicated characters who have a lot of baggage and difficult pasts and together they are a real intense couple but I loved that about them. As usual with these two they go through so ups and downs and bad points in this book and it does break your heart at times. I defiantly shouted at my kindle a few times but their ups and downs were worth it and made this story much better for it. You realise that in a relationship you sometimes have to fight hard for that one person. They go through so much together as a couple that as a reader you really invest in their relationship.

Reason this novella was a 5* for me was for Ren and Ash's whole story altogether and the fact that this author took this story to another level yet again. A short read pact full of drama and brilliant writing. Cant wait for more from this author.

Finding Scarlet by Beverley Hollowed

Title: Finding Scarlet

Author: Beverley Hollowed

Genre: Romance/Suspense

Release Date: June 25, 2015

Blurb

What if you woke up one day and couldn’t remember anything, not even your name?

When Scarlet Doe woke up in a hospital bed, she remembered nothing. The only clue to who she was, was the locket around her neck with the words, ‘To Scarlet, love S’ on the back. She had no clue how she got there, or more importantly, why someone had tried to kill her.

When she woke to find Detective Oliver Caldwell in her room, something about him seemed familiar. Oliver was the person who had found her broken body at the side of the road and somehow he became her protector. Little by little, Scarlet knew Oliver was stealing her heart.

When Oliver found Scarlet that rainy night, something about her connected with him. Night after night, he stayed by her bedside, as slowly he fell in love with the girl no one knew. He is determined to help her find her past, but wants more than anything to be her future.

Can Oliver and Scarlet ever have a future, or will the killer return and finish what he started?

Or will Finding Scarlet, pull them apart?

REVIEW

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

4.5* read.

New author to me and I'm looking forward to purchasing more books after this one. It had me gripped all the way through with all the twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. This was a romantic thriller that will last with you for weeks after you've finished reading it.

Scarlet is shot and dumped on the side of the road where sexy Detective Oliver finds her. When she wakes from her coma she can't remember anything but Oliver is there for her and helps her through it. What happens though if or when the killer finds out she's still alive and will she ever get her memory back? You'll have to read this page turner to find out.

A beautiful and emotional roller coaster of a read that will entice you with its twists and turns.

Prologue

The last thing I could remember was a blinding pain. I felt like my head had exploded, then there was nothing but blackness. I tried to remember what I was doing before the pain began but it was like trying to figure out an over exposed photograph. There were shapes and shadows, but for the most part, it was unfocused and impossible to make out.

Where am I? I thought, but I couldn’t remember as the blackness took me once again.

Suddenly I felt cold and wet. It was raining, well I think it was raining. I tried to open my eyes but they didn’t seem to work. I tried to move my arms and legs. I pushed with all my might but they didn’t respond.

What the hell is wrong with me? I screamed inside my head. I tried to cry out for help but I couldn’t seem to form a sound, much less a word. Once more the blackness came and I stopped fighting it.

“Miss,” a man’s voice broke into the darkness. His voice was full of concern. I could feel his hand lift mine and press his fingers against my wrist. Then he leaned in over me, and I knew he was checking to see if I was still breathing. “Miss. It’s okay. Help is on the way. Just stay with me.”

Suddenly I felt warm. Something was covering me. 1 could smell something…aftershave perhaps.

“Everything is going to be okay,” the voice in the darkness whispered in my ear. “Can you hear me?”

“Ouchhhhh!” I groaned in a bear whisper.

“That’s it,” the voice said and I could hear the relief in his voice. “You stay with me. I need you to fight.”

“Mmmmm,” I groaned again as the faint sound of sirens could be heard in the distance.

“Can you tell me your name?” He whispered as he leaned in closer to me. He had a kind voice, it made me feel safe.

I tried to talk but the words were all jumbled in my head.

Why can’t I tell him my name? I thought as I became frustrated. Just say the words. My name is…My name is…What the hell is my name? Why can’t I remember it?

“Stay with me,” the voice whispered again, but it was just too hard. I was tired. I needed to sleep. The darkness fell again and I gave up fighting it.

Storm (Sex and Bullets, #1) by Jo Raven

STORM (Sex and Bullets 1)

by Jo Raven

Raylin is on the run. Her father’s associates will stop at nothing to claim the money he owes them—including killing her. A last ditch ticket to Florida, a temporary house to hide in and no future to look forward to. That is, until she meets Storm, a tattooed bad boy who is housesitting down the beach and doing repairs for the summer. A perfect place, a perfect pair of strong arms, a spot of calm in which to hide for a while—or is it? Drop-dead gorgeous, kind, and hot in bed, Storm may not be what he seems. Who is the real Storm, and what is he hiding? Raylin had better find out before the bullets begin to fly. Standalone novel. No cliffhanger. *Warning: this book contains graphic language, sex, and violence. Mature readers only. Not intended for young readers

.* This is Book 1 of the Sex and Bullets series - a spin-off of the Inked Brotherhood series.

EXCERPT

“Who the hell are you?” he whispers, his voice deep and hoarse, resonating inside my bones. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m just… housesitting,” I whisper back, scared and excited, and how can you be so stupid, Ray? “Let go of me.”

I shove at him and climb further up, to the top step. The sensor above us activates and light floods my face.

“You’re the one who caught me,” he says evenly, a splinter of something darker in his voice, and instead of running into the house and slamming the door shut, I turn around.

My lips part, my tongue curls against the roof of my mouth, and I stare. All the words be like, gone. Nothing to work with here. My throat dries up.

Good God, if he looked good from afar, he’s like a punch to the gut from up close. Gorgeous, with water drops gleaming on his lashes like diamonds, his dark hair plastered to his head and a light scruff darkening his jaw. His eyes are some shade of blue, washed out in the harsh light. With a thin scar running down one side of that ripped chest, black and red tattoos curling over his ribs, and his shorts clinging to his narrow hips, he’s…

Yeah, no words. My heart is hammering like I’ve run a hundred miles. Heat rises in my cheeks. My insides tighten and throb.

I think I’ve just fallen in instant and complete lust.

4.5* read.

This is a new book in the start to a new series for Jo. Full of everything you could want in a book drama, romance, suspense and a rollercoaster of a ride through this drama filled read. Its unlike any of Jo's other book so I was really looking forward to seeing what brilliance she wrote this time.

When Raylin and Storm first meet the sparks really fly and you can feel the chemistry straight away burning you through the pages and you know your going to be in for a rollercoaster of a read. I fell in love with these characters straight away and their story. Both have secrets and a difficult past that run into their present which leads to a gripping addictive read that will have you addicted till the very last page.

I'm looking forward to the next book in this series and to see where else Jo's writing and characters takes us.

REVIEW

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

4* read.

At first I couldn't connect with Keena at all and I was really worried cause when I cant connect with a character then that's the book ruined for me as I can't connect to a story when I don't connect with the characters. But luckily I did warm up to her the more we got to know her and she did win me over. She's not your typical lead female in a book but this makes it so unique to others out there. Zack is an extremely wealthy and well known chef. These two meet when Keena is given a contract to distract Zach for a few months. Can she stick to the contract that Zach's father gives her or will her heart over rule it. You'll have to read it to find it.

A great read and my god the chemistry and heat off these too was so hot even I got burned from it as it sizzled through the pages. Watching them grow together and the way they interacted made this for a interesting read. I'm looking forward to future books from this author.

Excerpt

Expectations are as follows:

Spend a minimum of two hours with client daily, not to exceed four hours.

Not too bad. I expected it to be longer. Those were part-time hours.

No money or gifts valued over $100.00 are to be accepted from the client.

That sucked.

All payments will be made through a personal account set up in the employee’s name.

Direct deposit. Perfect.

Sexual advances are to be met with believable enthusiasm.

Believable enthusiasm. Like faking it? No problem there.

Discretion is mandatory.

No shit. For him and me both.

Employee is to cease any romantic encounters with anyone other than the client until the contract ends.

No other men for now. Fine with me. I could use a break.

The contract expires after six months. 

I finished reading. “What happens after the six months are up?”

Loch (The Powers That Be, #3) by Harper Bentley

Title: Loch (The Powers That Be #3)

Author: Harper Bentley

Release Date: Sept 30, 2015

Find on Goodreads

Loch Powers was the hottest guy I’d ever seen in my entire life.

And I hated him with every fiber of my being.

I'd practically known him since birth. Heck, we’d literally shared a crib as babies at his mom’s daycare.

Then I’d crushed on him hard when we hit middle school but he wouldn’t give geeky, glasses-wearing me the time of day. When his mom made him take me to the sixth grade dance, he’d humiliated me and I vowed to never talk to him again.

The next year when my family moved away, I told myself that if I never saw him again it’d be too soon.

Now I’m back and attending the same college, but I’m no longer the skinny, ugly girl who was so infatuated with him. And I’m so over him it’s not even funny.

But now that I’m no longer the ugly duckling, he’s set his sights on me, and I’m just not sure what to do with that.

REVIEW

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

5 massive star review.

Wow I loved Loch so much I will be re reading this story over and over. I literally could not put this book down till I'd read every last page. The power boys are all mine and have a firm place in my heart after reading this series. This book is on Loch and Simone who first meet as kids. Loch ends up humiliating her and she ends up moving away. Then years later at college they run into each other again only Simone doesn't tell Loch who she is as she wants revenge and to humiliate him the same way he humiliated her years ago. Question is will she go through with it and will Loch find out who she really is? You'll have to read it to find out.

I love this series, love this author, and this book was a book that had my gripped and loving every last page.
