Review: Dreamfever (Fever #4) by Karen Marie Moning

Dreamfever (Fever #4)

blurb:
He has stolen her past, but MacKayla will never allow her sister’s murderer to take her future. Yet even the uniquely gifted sidhe-seer is no match for the Lord Master, who has unleashed an insatiable sexual craving that consumes Mac’s every thought—and thrusts her into the seductive realm of two very dangerous men, both of whom she desires but dares not trust. 

As the enigmatic Jericho Barrons and the sensual Fae prince V’lane vie for her body and soul, as cryptic entries from her sister’s diary mysteriously appear and the power of the Dark Book weaves its annihilating path through the city, Mac’s greatest enemy delivers a final challenge.…

It’s an invitation Mac cannot refuse, one that sends her racing home to Georgia, where an even darker threat awaits. With her parents missing and the lives of her loved ones under siege, Mac is about to come face-to-face with a soul-shattering truth—about herself and her sister, about Jericho Barrons…and about the world she thought she knew.

“I have a black sense of humor. You try living my life, see what color yours turns.” 

Well, we can't live your life, but we can definitely read about it and I'm pretty sure everyone understands what you mean.

This book was emotional roller-coaster.. 

From low to high, from high to medium and from there everything went to hell.

I knew what was coming, It's not my first time reading this and still.. I wasn't ready for the ending..

I wasn't ready for a lot of things.

I was so proud of Mac, she went trough soo much! And still life doesn't make it easy for her..

“There’s only one question that matters, Ms. Lane, and it’s the one you never get around to asking. People are capable of varying degrees of truth. The majority spend their entire lives fabricating an elaborate skein of lies, immersing themselves in the faith of bad faith, doing whatever it takes to feel safe. The person who truly lives has precious few moments of safety, learns to thrive in any kind of storm. It’s the truth you can stare down stone-cold that makes you what you are. Weak or strong. Live or die. Prove yourself. How much truth can you take, Ms. Lane?”

And the truths, all kinds of truths keeps coming out in this book. I remember reading this the first time.. huh, It was too much for me. Too much information. But the ride is worth it. It is soo worth it! 

“Good and evil are merely opposite sides of a coin. Get tossed in the air enough, it's easy to come down on the wrong side.” 

So lets see how Mac will land. The ending of this book leave us hanging. With no air for our lungs. With almost no hope and with thousands of unanswered questions.

But they will be answered, I promise. Well.. at least some of it will :))

At the ending I kept remembering Barrons' words... over and over in my head...

“See me when you look at me.” 

And so she did...

Peace,

A.

Review: Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines

( Too Far #1 )

blurb:

To want what you’re not supposed to have…

She is only nineteen.

She is his new stepfather’s daughter. 

She is still naïve and innocent due to spending the last three years taking care of her sick mother. 

But for twenty-four year old Rush Finlay, she is the only thing that has ever been off limits. His famous father’s guilt money, his mother’s desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he has never been told no.

Blaire Wynn left her small farmhouse in Alabama, after her mother passed away, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling beach house along the Florida gulf coast. She isn’t prepared for the lifestyle change and she knows she’ll never fit into this world. Then there is her sexy stepbrother who her father leaves her with for the summer while he runs off to Paris with his wife. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous. He is also getting under her skin. She knows he is anything but good for her and that he’ll never be faithful to anyone. He is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never uncover but even knowing all of that…

Blaire just may have fallen too far.

Read from June 29 to 30, 2013

First of all let me just gush about the cover first!!! I really haven't know that it would show them off so perfectly! It's just like I imagine them to be!!
Great work on this!!! Whoever did it, I salute them with this victory!

So lets get to this book.

I don't think I've read anything by dear Abbi Glines until now, not that I didn't want to. But lets be real, do you see how many books I have in my TBR list? And I want to read All of them. And then there's those that I haven't found yet, but will be in the same pile soon.
So I ask my forgiveness, I hope the author will grant me one. Cause I freakin' LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!! 



From the first pages I couldn't stop laughing! I think the innocence of the heroine and the stubbornness stole me away! Maybe she's quiet but she's not weak!
And that is why I was so drawn to this book.
The hero is another douchebag. At least author let us believe that for awhile. And he is.
'Cause I was soo mad at him for how he treated Blaire from the start!! I thought I'd pull my own gun on him! ( I don't have one, but that's not the case lol)
Anyway, as the story continued I became really protective of our heroine. Some people may call her spineless or stupid.
But she's not. Yes she's naive and very sweet, but in her, it's a huge plus! I really never thought someone could pull that off ( talking about the author). Usually, when I read about someone like that I feel mad. I hate how weak woman can be when a man is in the picture.
But this time it was different. That girl went through so much, and life haven't decided yet to leave her be. But she kept it together, she kept standing and she kept living!
I have so much respect for this character I'm really in awe!

I don't wanna spoil you with revealing too much, cause you need to experience this for yourself.
This is a sweet and breathtakingly beautiful story about a young man an a woman who want so many things.. and only time show what will happen next.

I recommend this book to all NA and romance lovers. This book is amazing and I wanna share it with everyone!

I'm off to reading a second book!

Peace

review on GoodReads

Epilogue by C.J. Roberts

(The Dark Duet #3)

Blurb: 

I’m writing this because you begged. You know how I love the begging. In fact, you probably know too many things and know them far too well.

Who am I?

Well, that’s what I’m trying to figure out. I was a whore in my youth, a killer since my adolescence, and a monster as a man. I am the man who kidnapped Livvie. I am the man who held her in a dark room for weeks. But, most importantly, I am the man she loves.

She loves me. It’s quite sick, isn’t it?

Of course, there’s more to our story than can be surmised in a few short sentences, but I’m at a loss for justifying my behavior back then. I assume if you’re reading this, I don’t need to make those justifications. You’ve already made your own.

You’re reading this because you want to know about the rest of the story. You want to know what happened that warm summer night in September of 2010, the night I met Livvie at The Paseo. It was the night my life changed all over again.

It didn’t happen exactly as Livvie said. She’s been very kind to me in the retelling of our story. The truth is far more…complicated.

I don't even know what to say.. Caleb,your son of a... I'll miss you..


5 stars is not enough, hell.. Million stars doesn't even cover the part of a cover..

so I'll just say S T A R S .............. !!!

For a reader who would randomly take and read this book all the joy and excitement wouldn't do much.
He or she wouldn't get why people were stalking this book, waiting for accurate release date, pre-ordering and being pissed when Amazon send the wrong copy to them.

But I understand! Everyone who've read the series, those two books before this one, will understand. Cause if you've read it, you were captivated by them. You can love them, you can hate them, but you will always, ALWAYS remember them!

And the ones who love them, those who lived with these characters, cried with them, were scared with or of them. Who felt joy and sorrow.. Those readers.. well.. I'm one of those readers!

This book was everything I had wished for. I wished to see them out in the world. To feel their love, to hear their minds.

And Caleb... he turned to be better man then I thought he could be. He's still himself, but a better version. You'd ask how could that be?
Well imagine the Caleb we knew from first two books, and how little we actually saw inside him. And here .. his mind is fascinating! I think I'm in love :D

Anyway, enough of my rambling.. My words can't express enough or do justice for this book.
You have to just read it, and then read it again and again. Until you see what a wonderful job C.J.Roberts did!

The story of Livvie and Caleb broke my heart, and then peace by peace they'd put it back together. Now I feel full again to wonder around in search of new stories. But I will never, ever forget about them. 
You both are in my heart <3

Peace

The Siren by Tiffany Reisz

The Original Sinners  # 1

 Notorious Nora Sutherlin is famous for her delicious works of erotica, each one more popular with readers than the last. But her latest manuscript is different—more serious, more personal—and she's sure it'll be her breakout book...if it ever sees the light of day.

Zachary Easton holds Nora's fate in his well-manicured hands. The demanding British editor agrees to handle the book on one condition: he wants complete control. Nora must rewrite the entire novel to his exacting standards—in six weeks—or it's no deal.

Nora's grueling writing sessions with Zach are draining…and shockingly arousing. And a dangerous former lover has her wondering which is more torturous—staying away from him...or returning to his bed?

Nora thought she knew everything about being pushed to your limits. But in a world where passion is pain, nothing is ever that simple.

~*~*~*~*~*~

" Show,
Don't tell. "

5 amazing stars!!!!


When I first read the blurb, or maybe it was the second time? Don't remember, but I thought that wow, this will do! This story is what I need right now.
I imagined that Zack will be this hardcore, dom type editor who'll kick Nora's ass, figuratively speaking :))
And Nora will be this submissive, brilliant woman with defiance in her eyes! Our regular BDSM. After long power struggle they'll finally settle down and live happily ever after.. I could have not been more wrong!

This story is nothing I've ever expected. And It's not a romance story either, so don't fool yourself with hopes of happy endings.

This is a horror story if anything and I think the 'author' IN this book would agree with me.

Here.. the person who loves you don't bring you flowers, no.. He beats you. Among other things..

That said, I wasn't disappointed with this book. Quite the contrary, I loved it! It's emotional, raw, true to the core. Full of desires and hurt and pain and love. Yes love.
But it's not a romance.
It's a horror story!

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

This was unexpectedly very enjoyable read!

It deserves 4 Strong Stars! 

I don't even know what I was expecting from this book.
But every time I see kinky now, I tend to think about some dark BDSM.
But in this case it wasn't that. It didn't have that dark feeling you usually get when reading kinky unspeakable stories.

It was light with great humor tossed in for a good measure!
I was devouring it, and it was fun for me to see how other people tend to deal with problems in their marriage. And unexpected was the outcome!
I rarely read books that includes already married couples, I find it somewhat boring. I love the chase and the anticipation of what to come when people meet and feel the attraction towards each other. The sex and other stuff are usually just a bonus for me. Especially if it's well written. 
I like the fighting and arguing, that feel of uncertainty. That kind of book definitely for me.
But start a book with already married couple.. where you almost guess that the main thing in it will be someone cheating ... Thanks, but no thanks..

So this book was a big surprise for me! They're married and You can still feel the heat, but also some uncertainty!
Absolutely loved it!

Although I'm not sure how would have I reacted to some actions that occurred throughout this book, but I guess we're all different and need different 'treatment' when we do a bad bad thing LOL

But I liked the way author described every important move and action, seriously! I almost could imagine feeling it myself!

So If you like light kinky stories this is a definite TO READ book for You!

Awwwww this was HOT!!!

My rating is 4 Stars!

Holly.. mother of all Bastards! :))

This book made my day! I felt so depressed, and this read.. I was laughing soo hard, I thought my own panties may rip LOL

This story is about what happens when you're a bastard and you want, no.. you NEED your assistant so much, you think you may burst!

And this is what happens when your boos is a total dick, an ass-hat and completely irresistible and such a beautiful bastard!

You can imagine what happens.. :))

Panties are ripping, buttons are flying, steam is rising. Also there's a lot of panting, dirty words are flying in all directions.

And everything would be just fine, except that they can't stand each other 'before' and 'after' all that heavy breathing is done. Still they need to work together and so the story takes us captive.
I completely ignored everyone around me, I needed so much to finish this book and to know how will it end!!!
And I can tell you right now, I Loved how it ended!
This was such a wonderful refreshment for me!


Read and enjoy!

On Dublin Street by Samantha Young

Synopsis:

Jocelyn Butler has been hiding from her past for years. But all her secrets are about to be laid bare…

Four years ago, Jocelyn left her tragic past behind in the States and started over in Scotland, burying her grief, ignoring her demons, and forging ahead without attachments. Her solitary life is working well—until she moves into a new apartment on Dublin Street where she meets a man who shakes her carefully guarded world to its core.

But after an intrigued Jocelyn accepts, she realizes that Braden won’t be satisfied with just mind-blowing passion. The stubborn Scotsman is intent on truly knowing her… down to the very soul.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Real Huge 5 Stars!!!

"I would say it was nice to meet you, but I was naked so… it wasn't." 

To say that I liked this book would be an understatement of the year!
I think it's one of the few contemporary novels that I really FELT this year.

It's a story about a young woman, who's trying to live her life as she know it after her family died in a car accident 8 years ago. 
She's closed to everyone, don't lets anyone close enough to hurt her or that she could hurt them.
However, everything changes when she meets HIM.

The story goes about really broken soul, that struggles to live everyday live closed up inside. 

Very emotional but satisfying read. I'm shaken by it. 
It really touches you deep thinking about, what would you do if you'd loose your family??
Author said it.. Life is too short, so we need to live it to the fullest! 

To lighten the mood a bit, i have this quote that really made my day :

>>>>"Are you saying I'm disagreeable?"

He raised his eyebrow. "Woman, how stupid do you think I am? You really think I'm answering that? I want to get laid tonight.

I pushed him harder. "Watch it, or you might get laid to rest."<<<< 

Reaper's Property by Joanna Wylde

 

Reapers MC book #1

About the book:

Published: January 9th 2013 by Ellora's Cave Publishing Inc

ISBN: 1419944673 (ISBN13: 9781419944673)

Edition Language: English

Original Title: Reaper's Property

Url: http://www.ellorascave.com/reaper-s-property.html

Series: Reapers MC #1

Marie doesn't need a complication like Horse. The massive, tattooed, badass biker who shows up at her brother’s house one afternoon doesn't agree. He wants Marie on his bike and in his bed. Now.

But Marie just left her abusive jerk of an ex-husband and she’s not looking for a new man. Especially one like Horse—she doesn't know his real name or where he lives, she’s ninety percent certain he’s a criminal and that the “business” he talks with her brother isn't website design. She needs him out of her life, which would be a snap if he’d just stop giving her mind-blowing orgasms.

Horse is part of the Reapers Motorcycle Club, and when he wants something, he takes it. What he wants is Marie, but she’s not interested in becoming “property of”.

Then her brother steals from the club. Marie can save him by giving Horse what he wants—at home, in public, on his bike… If she’s a very, very good girl, she’ll get lots more of those orgasms only he can offer, and he’ll let her brother live.

Maybe.

Ok..

Lets start this review...

Hmmm....

I guess, first of all I need to rate this, 4 stars is a bit too much in my opinion, so I'm thinking.. 2? noooo.. I'm just kidding :))

3,5 Stars! 

Sooooo... His name is Horse! :))))) [Everyone starts his/her's review with that LOL :)]

But he's not the main character here.

Meet our heroine Marie... She's a sweet girl, who just left her ex, since she decided she don't wanna be a punching bag anymore, plus that douche was cheating on her, NOT COOL! And luckily after 5 years she finally found her spine and left him. Of course just after he started beating her again.. figures..

And now she's staying with her brother, who's kind enough to try to help her to get on her feet till she gets a job and blah blah blah...

Those things really was very boring for me... Until, one day she was cleaning 'weeds' outside when the bikers came. And there he was, tall, handsome and oh so sexy!

All would be well, except for a fact that he's an ass, actually a first class SOB, his name is Horse and he started courting a woman by calling her 'sweet butt'???? For the love of Harley!!!! What the hell is wrong with you man??



Marie: "So why are you called Horse?"
Horse: "Cause I'm hung like one." 

That's right! That's Horse, he's mean, he's dangerous, and her panties get wet even when she's angry out of her mind with him.

Did I mentioned that he belongs to a Reaper's MC? They're like clan or something, I'd say a gang but "obviously" there's a BIG difference :)))

Anyway, I don't wanna spoil you the fun, cause no matter how frustrating this read was, it was fun. Marie & Horsey make a pretty good match. And no matter how many times I wanted to punch both of them through this read, by the end I loved them just as much :)

"I’ve never ridden a bike before."
Horse leaned over and gave me a quick kiss on the mouth.
"Lookin’ forward to being your first, babe."

Link to these series on GoodReads



I'll give 4 Stars! for this whole book :))

All 8 short stories from this series are actually one book cut in 8 pieces, so it to be released in different dates to drive fans crazy. At least that is what I think.

Hopefully authors wont do that again in the future. Cause it's frustrating, really. 

Do you know the feeling when you can't read the book you're into because you have go to work or other matters to attend too? Basically don't have time for it? And through that time, while you can't read, you constantly living with the characters of that book in your head? Wondering what will happen next.. driving yourself crazy? 

Yeah, I'm thinking this reading experience must have been just like this with this book for those who started reading it when it first came up. But it's not because they needed to work or attend to other matters that they couldn't finish at their own choosing time. It was thanks to the author! 
Yup, she gives you few chapters, intrigues you and then BAM! No more read for you today! Go and be mad all day, make everyone around you miserable because you need another dose of dat book!

Luckily, I wasn't one of those people who started from when the first peace of the book was released. So my sanity is intact and everyone around me safe, all is well. Have no fear!

I was just wondering, what on earth! ( probably not from earth I think) advised with this frustrating-publishing of one book? I think it was a Devil himself. Cause may I just say BRAVO for the tactics!


I was captured by this series from the chapter one! Although the story looked somewhat similar to 50 Shades of Gray. And I guess it was in some way. All stories like this one will always have something in common with E.L.James books. 
Story 'bout wealthy man and a young girl with some dark secrets and kinky fuckery seems very appealing for readers these days. But who am I to judge right? I think I might be one of them LOL :))))

So if You haven't read this series yet, you should definitely start it right away. Cause it's nice story with lots of fun in the erotic sense of the word :))

-------
3,5 stars! 

Very, very HOT read. Lots of sensuality and sex 

So.
I liked it. Didn't loved it, but it was OK.

Why just ok? Well, I need more story line, more actions not just porn for your imagination.
Although I can not say that I haven't enjoyed it very much. I did!

And what I hated the most was "the dirty-talk". 90% of it I was just rolling my eyes or face palming, sometimes eve laughing out laud, cause really.... What normal person can be 110 percent in to the lust mode doing "acrobatics" and at the same time make full, correct sentences of a dirty-talk????

In the beginning it was funny at how unnatural it all sounded, in the end it was just annoying .

I'm sorry but I can't imagine a man inside me, at the intense moment of doing .. that, and then he'd stop (while still inside me) and begin explaining how he feels right now, in full 5 or maybe even 7 sentences. (???)

I guess the ending was fine... A bit too sweet for me, too naive for my taste. I like HEA.. but this was just so...*eye-roll*
