“Fate might hate me, but that doesn't stop me from hoping one day she forgets about her favorite chew toy. When that day comes I hope karma has some fun with that bitch fate” 

I love a good book about a Military man. This was a GREAT one!
Brilliant debut novel by Harper Sloan.

You fall in love with the idea of Izzy and Axel in the first few pages. Then your heart shatters in a billion pieces for Izzy. Her life was on a great path; she had true love, great parents and a wonderful future. Then in a flash it came crashing down around her.

After her world stops spinning, she marries a complete ass-hat, Brandon that uses Izzy for whatever he feels like. You hate Brandon in about .0002 seconds. 

Her best friend, Denise comes to the rescue and yanks Izzy out of the HELL she now survives in. 

“Cut off from those I loved and so terrified of his wrath; I wasn’t going anywhere. Those were the years I prayed and prayed for Axel to find his way back to me… but I
eventually had to face the facts… my hero was gone.”

Denise is a smart girl and doesn’t come by herself, she brings some serious muscle. Enter the HUGE and gorgeous Greg Cage, Marine and Security Advisor. G takes a protective attitude towards Denise and Izzy. 

They try to put Izzy back together and happy. This is a full time occupation for all of them. But ass-hat Brandon will just not go away. He is like a bad rash that just flairs back up at the worst time! G is determined to find the cure for Brandon at any cost.

G calls his Marine brothers and Security Advisors, Cooper, Maddox, Beck and Reid. They will solve this mess and save his Izzy.

But who does Izzy belong too? 

So many things happen after they come to help out that you're sucked into the book even more.

There are no cliff hangers for Axel and Izzy, the next book in this series is Cage's book and I fell for him too!

This Man Confessed (This Man #3) By: Jodi Ellen Malpas

3...2...1...

ZERO BABY!

Published: July 2nd, 2013
Pages: 501 pages
Book: Series: This Man Trilogy
Stars:  5

I have a love/hate relationship with trilogy books.

1. I have no patients whatsoever...None!
So waiting on the series to finish is truthfully excruciating for me.

2. I love following the story and learning more of what makes my favorite characters who they are.

3. I read at a speed that I can’t even use our local libraries.(Again see #1)

4. It seems like an eternity before the series is complete (Again see #1)

5. Then sometimes… you get disappointed at how the story ends.
Maddening as all hell… CRAZY MAD!

“This Man Confessed” is not one of those books.

THANK THE LORD of the manor for that!

I love Jesse even though he makes me crazy mad sometimes! The final book is a great finish to an incredible trilogy. But now I am suffering from Jesse withdrawal.

The book embraces all the necessary characteristics to make a great story and a solid finish.
I loved finding out more about Jesse and his past and seeing how Ava would deal with all of that.

Now I am going to caution you... My Kindle was in danger of being tossed out the window at one point! I was as pissed off as a wet cat! But I stuck through it and made it out the other side!

This series is full of extreme hot headedness, hotter sex and a lot of mysteries.

I would put this series on your “must absolutely read list”

“You keep my heart beating, baby, but you can also make it fucking stop.”

The Space Between (The Book of Phoenix #1) By: Kristie Cook

Book: Series: The Book of Phoenix

Multi POV

“Two souls with but a single thought, 

  Two hearts that beat as one!"

― John Keats

4 Souls

4 Lives

1 Goal

This is the first book I have read from Kristie Cook. If her other books are half as good as this one, she has a new fan.

This book has different characters and the POV switches between the past and the present times.

Jacquelena 'Leni' Drago is a dancer that is sent to Italy by her favorite Uncle to follow her dreams. On her last night in Italy she sees Jeremicah 'Jeric' Winters a gorgeous man that catches her attention in a bar, they never really meet. But fate has other plans in store for them. They seem to be in the same place at the same time at the airport and have a chat over coffee. Leni is headed back to the Atlanta and Jeric is headed to London then to Miami. Jeric’s flight gets canceled to Miami and he is diverted to Atlanta, right to Leni. 

Then things start to get weird! People come up missing, people forget them and Leni and Jeric can't seem to stay away from each other, no matter how hard they try!!

Then we meet Jacey and Micah who seem to be experiencing the same issues as Leni and Jeric. 

They are driven together by a force much stronger than both of them.

How does this all tie together? 

Will anyone be able to complete the journey?

This book has good guys and bad guys; it takes a while before you can guess who might be noble and who is not. This book leaves you guessing on every page.

Once I started this book I could not stop. I can't wait to see what happens next.

The cliffhanger is a remarkable one… so many questions.

Obsession (Entangled Covet) By: Jennifer Armentrout

Published: May 31, 2013

Pages: 249 pages

Book: Series: Entangled Covet

Stars:  4.5

“Never in my life had I been more frustrated. Go figure it wouldn't be with a human but a freaking alien. At least I now knew that the male species were asses no matter what planet they hailed from.” 

First, HOLY hot cover!

I am a huge fan of Jennifer's books and her series'.

I have read the whole Lux series and love the opposite view on the whole Lux vs. Arum saga in this book.
If you have not read the Lux series I would suggest it.
The whole series is a great read, and Daemon is an awesome character to love/hate/lust after.
 
Now saying that Hunter gives Daemon a run for his money... still not sure who is hotter!

This book has a tiny little bleed through in it. Did you happen to catch it? There is a Lux in the hallway… any idea who that could be…hmmmm?
I can see a different path in the future for the Lux gang.


Hunter is a strong, cocky Alpha-Alien. YUP I said Alpha-Alien!~

He is the DOD's strongest weapon and assassin, not that he is happy about that. Serena is a human that knows too much. Hunter is sent to "contain" the situation A.K.A Serena. And that is where everything gets interesting.

Hunter is controlling and Serena is not receptive to his ways at all.

“You're not going to answer me?" Or do I need to repeat myself for a third time? It's okay. I like to hear myself talk.” 

He is frustrated with her and even more confused about his attraction to her.

“I stared at him in disbelief and sputtered, "You can't - Get off!"
One single brown arched up. "I can't get off? Oh, I most definitely can get off.” 

While the Lux series is more YA, Obsession is more of an adult series. Which makes me very happy… SQUEEEEEE!

I never thought I would be hott for an Arum but dayummm.

Conquer Your Love (Surrender Your Love #2) By: J.C. Reed

Published: June 8th, 2013
Pages: 352 pages
Book: Series:  Surrender Your Love
Stars:  4.5

This is not a stand alone read.

You will need to read the first book in the series Surrender Your Love .

Right now it is .99 on Amazon.

So go get it!

"Every Story has an ending. You can’t stop after one chapter just because you don't know how it ends.”

This book picks right SYL left off, Jett still pissed off because he can’t find Brooke. With all his options and patients exhausted, he calls in a ghost from his past to find Brooke.

This book has so many twists and turns, I am still not sure who is good and who is bad. I have so many questions about Jett, but I have just as many about Sylvie. We already know Jett Mayfield is a rich, powerful businessman with a “scary as HELL” hidden past but, Sylvie seems just so… I don’t know … acceptable, maybe with everything that is going on.
I know for DAMN sure that if people were shooting at me, breaking in to where I am staying and a seriously deadly car chase… I sure as HELL would not be all calm! I would have been either screaming my head off running away or drinking myself into a coma! HELL maybe both at the same time!
It’s almost like she is expecting it, and then she is finding things that no one else has thought about.
In all honesty she could be super smart or lucky. She may be even super calm and Zen. Or even highly medicated!

Suspense in the story holds your attention and the UST and sex heats up the book.

I give this book a solid 4.5 stars.

Can’t wait to see who’s who!

Book: #3 Carmen's New York Love – 200 pages
Series:  Carmen's New York
Stars:  4

Book switches POV between Carmen and Kurt

A Case of Mistaken Identity. . .
I will admit I have never thought about a career change to a maid in NYC before, but now I am questioning the switch.

Who would not want to read a story where the man is nicknamed after a GOD?

“Thor –GOD of Thunderous Orgasms”!

“Mmmm I like the sounds you're making," he murmured in a honeyed whisper. "I just bet that you're a screamer. Should I have brought earplugs?

Carmen and Kurt are both hiding from the past in different ways. One is running and one just hides away.

The story has many characters and storylines that feed into each other. The sex is hot and the story can be sad at times and piss you off the next.

*warning*
This is not a story of girl meets boy... runs from boy and then they fall hopelessly in love. Girl doesnt not run, boy does not chase. straight up sexual attraction and hot sex laced with a little mystery and healing.

Forever Too Far (Too Far #3) by Abbi Glines

Pages:  304
Series:  Too Far
Stars:  5

“When you find your reason for living, hold onto it. 

Never let it go.

 Even if it means burning other bridges along the way.”

“Great quote from Rush to kick off this book!”

I read a few reviews that mention Rush getting soft or losing his edge. I don’t see Rush any differently, he loves Blaire and he loves his family… sometimes

Rush’s character has grown up; he is in love, getting married and is having a son. His life is taken on a different direction and he adjusted to it.
I love a big bad boy that goes all soft and gooey over his pregnant wife and baby… it’s like a wonderful warm chocolate hunk cookie!

We get to meet Dean Finaly, Rush's elusive womanizing rock GOD Dad and his band mate Kiro.

All the gang is in and around in this book too and seems to fill the missing pieces, tying all the stories together in a nice series.

One thing has NOT change... good ol’bitchy Nan. That girl needs a good ass kicking!
I do agree that Nan seems to be a huge focus in the book, I have a feeling we will see her get “her just desserts” soon!

Rush is regrettably trapped between starting his new life and closing out the mess from his old one.
How much agony and misery will bleed over to his new life. How much will Rush be willing to lose to tie everything up into a neat happy package?
