Review: The Professional: Part One (The Game Maker #1) – Kresley Cole

Review: The Professional: Part One (The Game Maker #1) – Kresley Cole

*I received a free ARC of The Professional from Pocket Star via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* The Professional is a scorching hot short story about Natalie, who has been searching for her biological parents with the help of a private investigator in Russia for the past few years, without letting her adoptive mother know about it at all. A PhD student with several jobs to make ends meet, Natalie is a pretty serious girl, until that one night in a bar, where a dangerous-looking man comes in and sits down not far from her. For the first time ever, her manalyzer isn’t working the way it usually does, and she walks up to him to say hello. […]

Review: Playing Dirty (Stargazer #2) – Jennifer Echols

Review: Playing Dirty (Stargazer #2) – Jennifer Echols

*I received a free ARC of Playing Dirty from Pocket Books via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* Playing Dirty is a truly fun book to read! I couldn’t put it down and stayed up until 3 am so I could learn everything about Sarah, Quintin and the others. Intricate relationships, country stars who aren’t exactly the way the portray themselves to the public. The characters are fun and realistic, the storyline is captivating, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself all the way. I thought the band members were very clever in Playing Dirty, because that’s exactly what they are doing! And Sarah is playing dirty as well. Everybody wants to look out for themselves in the beginning, and it […]

Review: Bound by Night (MoonBound Clan Vampire #1) – Larissa Ione

Review: Bound by Night (MoonBound Clan Vampire #1) – Larissa Ione

*I received a free eARC of Bound by Night from Pocket Book via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Bound by Night first got this reaction from me when I finished reading: This. Book.Was. Made. Of. Awesome! That was all I was capable of thinking and feeling and sharing. It has taken me a little while to actually form coherent thoughts, I just fell in love with the characters, the mythology and the completely different take on vampires that were depicted in Bound by Night. The prologue explains how vampires are slaves in this universe, they are snatched by humans and forced to work for them, taking care of mundane tasks as being a nanny, prepare food or care […]

Review: What the Duke Desires (The Duke’s Men #1) – Sabrina Jeffries

Review: What the Duke Desires (The Duke’s Men #1) – Sabrina Jeffries

*I received a free ARC of What the Duke Desires from Pocket Book via Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review* What the Duke Desires has everything I look for in a historical romance! A strong female lead, a handsome and slightly rogue Duke. A mystery. Hot romance. Steamy bedroom-scenes. Yes, all the boxes are checked to my immense reading pleasure. The writing is really good as well, I feel like I actually got to know Lisette and Maximillian, Dom and Tristan. And the plot was well done, and made the mystery just too mysterious for me to figure it out! I love reading historical romances, the way the characters act and speak is so different from today, and What […]

Review: Lust for Life (WVMP Radio #4) – Jeri Smith-Ready

Review: Lust for Life (WVMP Radio #4) – Jeri Smith-Ready

Lust for Life is the fourth and last installment in the WVMP Radio series. I kept it unopened on my kindle for a very long time, because this is another series I just don’t want to end! The ending, however is absolutely perfect! There is still mystery, surprises, love, friendship, loyalty, courage and romance. Lust for Life is really action-packed, but there are still some tender moments between Ciara and Shane. They are both still training with Control, even if they don’t like having to do that at all. Jim is in retirement after he tried to kill Ciara, and strange things are happening at their favorite bar. The story starts with a huge bang! There’s an anonymous bomb threat […]
