Review: Becoming Rain – K. A. Tucker

Review: Becoming Rain – K. A. Tucker

Becoming Rain was fantastic! Kick-ass undercover female cop and gorgeous male suspect. My Becoming Rain review: Becoming Rain captivated me from the very first word, and I immediately felt for Clara and what she needed to do to get her job done. As I had already met and enjoyed Luke in Burying Water, I was happy to read a whole story with him as one of the main characters. He was a suspect in a car stealing ring in Portland, and Clara was brought in from the DC office to be undercover, dressed and acting like a socialite to entice Luke, she was ready to show the FBI that she would be right for any job they would offer her… […]

Review: The Raven Boys – Maggie Stiefvater

Review: The Raven Boys – Maggie Stiefvater

The Raven Boys is a fantastic mystical tale of Blue and three boys from the Aglionby academy in Henrietta. The quest for the ley-line and its opening had me at the edge of my seat, and kept me wondering why it has taken me so long to read this book! My The Raven Boys review: Dark and mysterious, The Raven Boys grabbed me from the first line, and kept me entertained for the whole story! Blue is a great main character, and I loved that she was so sensible, even if she also managed to show that she does have a wild streak, too. The Aglionby boys were so different, but somehow they still had a unity to them, and […]

Review: Conflicted – Helena Newbury

Review: Conflicted – Helena Newbury

Conflicted is fast-paced, twisted and filled with both tension, hope and regret. My Conflicted review: Oh wow! Things definitely sped up in Conflicted, and after the wild ride of Seduced, I should have expected just that! Between the very hot sex, having to make sure she kept her secrets, and Luka showing her some vulnerability, Arianna sure had her work cut out for her! It seemed as if pretending she didn’t speak or understand Russian was the most difficult part of her job in this instalment. While I really enjoyed the story, and also the character development in Conflicted, it became more obvious that it’s very strange that Arianna was chosen for this kind of operation. She had no field […]

Review: Seduced – Helena Newbury

Review: Seduced – Helena Newbury

Seduced is a hot little number, with a geeky CIA agent and a charismatic but dangerous Russian arms-dealer. My Seduced review: Thanks to her great knowledge of Russian, Arianna was hired by the CIA straight out of college, and now she spends her days listening to bugged phone conversations made by various criminals that are in the CIA’s sight. Seduced did seduce me, Arianna is the geeky, quiet character who really wants more in life. Still struggling with flash-backs and nightmares after an accident two years prior, she lives with one of her co-workers, and spends all her time at work, or cooking. Luka is a dangerous Russian arms-dealer, and most of his phone conversations are crude phone sex with […]

Review: Meet Me in the Dark – J.A. Huss

Review: Meet Me in the Dark – J.A. Huss

Dark is only the beginning when it comes to Meet me in the Dark! Merc is even more twisted that I thought he was, and Sydney is so confused, broken and out of it she amazed me when she was able to show me she truly did have a backbone after all. My Meet Me in the Dark review: Book hangover V2.0 is what Meet Me in the Dark has given me! There are just so many things happening, and the twists and turns and psychological war Merc has going with Sydney is so above anything I’ve ever read I’m still reeling. And my feels, my poor, poor feels! From disgust to happiness, fear to elation, hope to desolation – […]

Review: The Stranger You Seek – Amanda Kyle Williams

Review: The Stranger You Seek – Amanda Kyle Williams

The Stranger You Seek is a very eerie, creepy, stalkerish kind of mystery, in which Keye Street gets through so many twists and turns it was impossible to figure out who the killer was. My The Stranger You Seek review: Keye Street is the kind of heroine I wish there were more of! She is pretty flawed, and she makes no qualms about it! She’s also very smart, has a sarcastic sense of humor and is fiercely loyal. Adopted when she was a little girl, she grew up being the only Asian looking child in her white Atlanta neighbourhood, and her brother was the only black kid there. Diversity is very well done in The Stranger You Seek, but it’s […]

Review: Total Surrender – Rebecca Zanetti

Review: Total Surrender – Rebecca Zanetti

Oh my goodness, this final installment in the Sin Brothers series was definitely action packed! And fast paced. Total Surrender also had a little romance and a lot of different story-lines running alongside the main plot. My Total Surrender review: Can I start by squeeing a little with happiness because I finally got Jory’s story? Yes? *squee* Total Surrender truly showed me that each and every one of the brothers have an inner strength that is just as strong as their physical strength. The love and loyalty that have bound them together through a horrific childhood is even stronger now that they’re all adults, and Jory is the brother who has been missing in order to make the other feel complete […]

Review: Cinder – Marissa Meyer

Review: Cinder – Marissa Meyer

Cinder was up for a slow start, but after a while, things were happening more quickly, and while I was able to guess pretty early on who exactly Cinder was, I was still amazed at the way the story unfolded. My Cinder review: Cinder is part cyborg, and her adoptive mother treats her as a servant, so much so that all the money Cinder earns is deposited into Adri’s account rather than Cinder’s. As a gifted mechanic, with a stall at the market, she meets Crown Prince Kai when he needs help to repair his android. Meeting Kai is like a dream to her, but she knows he would be disgusted if he knew she was a cyborg, so rather […]

Review: Archangel’s Legion – Nalini Singh

Review: Archangel’s Legion – Nalini Singh

In Archangel’s Legion, the love between Raphael and Elena became an epiphany! I knew there was love with them, but here, that love was just so strong and beautiful it made the story epic in a very different way. My Archangel’s Legion review: Between the undeniable love and respect between Elena and Raphael, and all the troubles bestowed upon them, Archangel’s Legion was a thrilling read from start to finish. Thrilling both because of the incredible chemistry between the main characters, and because of the fights they had to engage in on many different levels. The story is fast paced, and all my favorite characters from the Guild Hunter series – both those I love and those I love to […]

Review: Three, Two, One – J.A. Huss

Review: Three, Two, One – J.A. Huss

Three, Two, One has to be one of the most twisted, hot and complex stories I have ever read! Huss completely outdid herself – again! My Three, Two, One review: When I was selected to receive an ARC of Three, Two, One I actually did a happy-dance, and when the book arrived on my kindle on Saturday morning, I twirled – with my kindle in my hands like a baby. Twisted doesn’t even begin to describe the relationships, the storyline, the characters and the plot in this masterpiece. And a masterpiece, it is. Very dark, uncomfortable at times, extremely hot other times, and with a relationship that is anything but conventional. The suspense is well done, and the story is […]
