Consequences by Aleatha Romig

Consequences by Aleatha Romig
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This time I took my time re-reading this book, even before finishing it I had a chance to see Behind Tony's Eyes, it made everything much more 'real'. I loved it, love the series and the characters.
The only flaw I could find with this book is that it took too long to get to the ending, it was all so confusing, but it was so worth it!!!
Have I said that I loved it already? I did :) I'll say that again - LOVED IT!!!!


More about the book :

Book #1 of the Bestselling Consequences Series:

Anthony Rawlings had a plan—to teach Claire Nichols to behave.

Claire Nichols had a plan—to survive!

In an unfamiliar bedroom within a luxurious mansion, Claire Nichols wakes to memories of a brutal abduction. All of her recollections have one common denominator, the man she just met—Anthony Rawlings. Unbeknownst to Claire, Anthony has had her in his sights for a long time. Every action has consequences—and his actions resulted in their chance meeting. 

Facing incomprehensible circumstances, Claire must learn to survive as she comes to terms with her new reality—every aspect of her livelihood is now dependent upon the tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed tycoon. Anthony may appear to the world as a prosperous, benevolent, kind businessman, but in reality Claire learns he is also a menacing, controlling captor with very strict rules: do as your told, public failure is not an option, and don’t divulge private information. Failure to follow these rules and more, are met with serious consequences.

In an effort to earn her freedom, Claire learns her lessons well and before long, she unknowingly captivates her captor. Anthony/ Tony reluctantly becomes enthralled with Claire’s beauty, resilience and determination. Their interaction instigates strong emotions, including—fear, anger, love, and lust—as their journey flows into uncharted waters of intrigue and passion. 

From the opening criminal abduction, through the twists and turns, to the unlikely romantic thrills, the suspense climaxes as Aleatha Romig utilizes vivid detail, allowing this novel to unfold like a movie. 

Can you put the pieces of the puzzle together? Claire Nichols abduction wasn’t a random act—did she learn her lessons well enough? Will these unlikely lovers remain true--or will she learn the truth before it’s too late?

It was a long and painful acquisition—especially from Behind His Eyes!

Read from January 14 to 15, 2014

Oh wow!
Though my first thought when I saw words 'The End' was NOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I need more!!! Tony's POV? There can never be enough of that!!!

I Hate to Love him and I Love to Hate him! <- that describes my emotions towards him the best at the moment..

Wow, I can't seem to stop repeating that! I didn't know what to expect.. cause seriously, how can you expect something from him? Actually you can expect everything and nothing at the same time! That's Anthony Rawlings, polished on the outside - totally unpredictable inside!

And since the inside of my head feel suspiciously like scrambled eggs at the moment I don't think I can write a worthy review for this wonderful book!

I'd just start babbling ( like right now ) and fangirling, I may even start crying and that's never a good idea.

So let's all pray for the next reading companion to come along fast ( pretty please Aleatha!!!), so I'd be able to compose myself a little and live my life again. Or not. Actually keep them coming, more books, more POV's! I'd even like to read it from Catherine's POV.. I'm just kidding, I'd stab the bitch!

Anyway, me done.
Peace,
A.

P.S. In case I forgot to mention, this Book is AWESOME! If you haven't yet, you should check The Consequences series by Aleatha Romig .  This is the 4th book. LOVE YOU ALEATHA!

P.P.S. yup, like I said.. I started fangirling.. here goes the waterworks!

Review: Iron Kissed by Patricia Briggs

( Mercy Thompson #3 )

blurb:

'I could smell her fear, and it satisfied something deep inside me that had been writhing under her cool, superior gaze. I curled my upper lip so she could get a good look at my sharp teeth. I might only weigh thirty or so pounds in my coyote shape, but I was a predator...'

Mechanic Mercy Thompson can shift her shape - but not her loyalty. When her former boss and mentor is arrested for murder and left to rot behind bars by his own kind, it's up to Mercy to clear his name, whether he wants her to or not.

Mercy's loyalty is under pressure from other directions, too. Werewolves are not known for their patience, and if Mercy can't decide between the two she cares for, Sam and Adam may make the choice for her...

~*~*~*~*~*~

There might be some spoilers so consider if you really wanna read this.

I think this one really is the best out of 3.
However.. I'm getting tired of the event pattern.. For most of the book there's nothing happening, then nearing the end there's this big great event that explains everything and usually there are some big revelations and of course somebody gets hurt. Usually Mercy. Then there's a lull again, and by the ending of the book there's one more big event. 


What I hate, is how cold Mercy looks.
Sure she has feelings and blah blah. But I don't feel it. If she gets hurts, it's like nothing. Physically or emotionally, I just don't believe her. 
It's like someone retelling her story to me, without emotions and the like. I'd like to be able to feel what she's feeling, to truly believe that she's 'real'. 
It's almost like reading a history book. Cold facts.
'She went there because we needed to find that thing. That thing wasn't there, we went home.'
Maybe I'm not making any sense, but I'm just sharing my thoughts about this, so no hate mail please.
I understand it's hard to build a world with so many supernaturals in it, so much action and still keep the emotions in it. But it's possible, Kate Daniels is the best example. 
There are too many things I must assume, which I rather read about. Feel more connected to characters.

So yeah.. not super excited about this, but I need to read the next book. I 'heard' it get's better.

We'll see I guess :)

Peace,
A.

His plans take an unexpected turn when, in the midst of a blizzard, he rescues Meg Walker from her wrecked car. Suddenly Linc discovers another reason to clear his name. Meg, his high school sweetheart, had always believed in his innocence, and if he wants a future with her, he has to show the world proof that she was right. 

As the community chooses sides, those who once let a teenage boy take the fall for their crime are forced to raise the stakes. They kidnap Meg, leaving her to the mercy of the mountain. And a second rescue may be more than even Linc can manage....

* ARC received from NetGalley for a review!

4 Stars!

It's a third installment in Rebel Ridge series.

Meg Walker is an independent, strong woman who endured lost of hurt in her life!

Linc, her one true love, was wrongly convicted and sent to prison for a sin he claims he haven't done.

This story had me biting my lips and then my nails raw. Ah, all the mystery of who done what was truly enticing!
You just cant stop reading it!
There's action, there's mystery, there's true friendship and love!
So what's not to love about a book like this?

And it was so refreshing from everything that I read lately.
So I want to thank NetGalley and Harlequin MIRA for providing me with a copy to read and review(and enjoy!).

Cut & Run by Abigail Roux and Madeleine Urban

Cut & Run series #1

Sunopsis:

A series of murders in New York City has stymied the police and FBI alike, and they suspect the culprit is a single killer sending an indecipherable message. But when the two federal agents assigned to the investigation are taken out, the FBI takes a more personal interest in the case.

Special Agent Ty Grady is pulled out of undercover work after his case blows up in his face. He's cocky, abrasive, and indisputably the best at what he does. But when he's paired with Special Agent Zane Garrett, it's hate at first sight. Garrett is the perfect image of an agent: serious, sober, and focused, which makes their partnership a classic cliché: total opposites, good cop-bad cop, the odd couple. They both know immediately that their partnership will pose more of an obstacle than the lack of evidence left by the murderer.

Practically before their special assignment starts, the murderer strikes again – this time at them. Now on the run, trying to track down a man who has focused on killing his pursuers, Grady and Garrett will have to figure out how to work together before they become two more notches in the murderer's knife.

5 Stars!

Yet again another unexpectedly great book!
OK, I'm obviously lying, with all the great reviews for this book..
I was expecting something good, but I most certainly never expected this to be so great!

I had this book in my TBR list for months now.
I also wanted to try something from M/M, but you know how it is.
With all the books that I want to read, I feel like a kid in a candy store. I want it all and I want it now!

And honestly I was dreading a bit to read it. I didn't knew what to expect. I was so scared it would some cheesy and mushy mushy love story.
But it isn't!
It has a great suspense mystery thing going on! Which I love!
I had little time to read this past week, but I was drawn to this book, so every time I had a minute I would read, at least a few lines!
And I think that speaks for itself.

Thinking about this book now, words of a song come to mind.. and it fits perfectly to describe the 'romantic' part of this book.


..All along it was a fever..
...A cold sweat hot-headed believer...
..I threw my hands in the air I said show me something..
...He said, if you dare come a little closer..

..Round and around and around and around we go...
....Now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know..

..Not really sure how to feel about it..
....Something in the way you move....
..Makes me feel like I can't live without you..
...It takes me all the way..
..I want you to stay..

I think that's enough. This book needs to be read. It can't be explained!

Peace
