Review: Fix You: Bash and Olivia #2 – Christine Bell

Review: Fix You: Bash and Olivia #2 – Christine Bell

*I received a free ARC of Fix You from Christine Bell via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Tense, sad but incredibly strong, Fix You was filled with feels! My Fix You: Bash and Olivia #2 review: Olivia’s douche-bag boyfriend really showed his true colors in this story! I thought I couldn’t stand Andy in the first book, but he exceeded all my bad expectations here! Olivia had to be very strong, both because of everything going on with her parents and because Bash was taken to jail. In order to help get him out on bail, she will do whatever it takes, including pawning her jewelry, but he thinks she doesn’t want to come visit him in prison, […]

Review: Stripped Away – Ellis Carrington

Review: Stripped Away – Ellis Carrington

*I received a free ARC of Stripped Away from Ellis Carrington via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Stripped Away is hot, complicated and heartbreaking! Dave has a hard time dealing with his father’s passing away, especially because the late pastor has shown his true colors of womanizing, embezzling and having a secret family known only after his death. My Stripped Away review: Stripped Away is an amazing story about Dave, how he’s dealing with his dad’s death, and meeting his brother Greg for the first time at the funeral. Stripped Clean, the first book in this series is about Greg, and he as well as the readers already knew about Dave, and how the pastor had lead a double […]

Review: Fix You: Bash and Olivia #1 – Christine Bell

Review: Fix You: Bash and Olivia #1 – Christine Bell

Fix You is a very short read, but there is a real story in there. And some parts of that story are really poignant and quite dark! Olivia is at a bar with some friends and her fiancé, when she stumbles and a guy who works at the bar helps center her. Said fiancé shows up and is mad at Olivia for leading the guy on. Needless to say, already at that point, I knew there was going to be no love lost between Andy and me. And he soon showed that he was an even worse character than that! Abusive, mean and not caring is Andy in a nutshell. If we add in entitled and arrogant that should pretty much […]

Review: You Own Me – Shiloh Walker

Review: You Own Me – Shiloh Walker

*I received a free ARC of You Own Me from Shiloh Walker via Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* You Own Me has all the anguish and love from a distance I love in a contemporary romance novel, where the protagonists haven’t ever admitted to each other how they feel about each other. My You Own Me review: Lizzie and Decker are best friends, they have been for a long time, even during the time Decker spent in jail. You Own Me shows how deep Lizzie and Decker’s feelings towards each other are, no matter that Lizzie has a boyfriend she’s been with for the past three years. Little by little, I learned that Lizzie’s boyfriend was a true […]

Review: Hot Secrets – Lisa Renee Jones

Review: Hot Secrets – Lisa Renee Jones

*I received a free ARC of Hot Secrets from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* Hot Secrets is a quick and hot read, but a little weak on the character development. My Hot Secrets review: Hot Secrets starts with Royce and Lauren meeting a party for Lauren’s father. Royce is keeping a secret from Lauren from the beginning, especially because he can feel that there is an attraction between them. Lauren’s father has hired Royce to be Lauren’s security guy, because he has received threats against her. The fact that Lauren is the assistant district attorney on a very high profile case does not make things easy for Royce at all. Lauren is confident and secure in her work, […]

Blogtour and Giveaway: Marry Me For Money – Mia Kayla

Blogtour and Giveaway: Marry Me For Money – Mia Kayla

Welcome to my stop on the Marry me for Money blogtour! I have a fabulous excerpt to share with you, and there is also a tour-wide giveaway, open for US and Canadian participants. My Marry me for Money excerpt:  Trance music dragged me closer and closer to the other room. I glanced up at the bouncer who was guarding the roped area separating the rooms. When he sidestepped to let me pass, I wondered if I could get back in again later. Music filled my ears, and my body started to move to the rhythm. I made my way toward the exterior of the dance circle. Scantily clad bodies moved and swayed against each other. When I felt small hands […]

Review: Ransom – Rachel Schurig

Review: Ransom – Rachel Schurig

*I received a free ARC of Ransom from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review* My Ransom Review: Ransom is the kind of story I just love to read! There is a rock star and a girl who has fallen in love with him – but it’s not your typical fangirl falling for a guy she doesn’t know at all, apart from through his music. It also features a friends to lovers part, which is one of my favorite contemporary romance tropes. I always enjoy reading about two close friends who realize they want to be much more than friends, but who are afraid to take the first step because the friendship is so important to them. Daisy is a […]

Review: Doe and the Wolf (Furry United Coalition #5) – Eve Langlais

Review: Doe and the Wolf (Furry United Coalition #5) – Eve Langlais

Eve Langlais always manages to make me laugh with her awesome humor, quirky characters and crazy shifters, and Doe and the Wolf is no exception to that rule. Everett is such a goofy wolf it’s impossible not to love him, and Dawn is pretty tough and salacious under that shy demeanor she hides behind. After Everett was fired from FUC, he became a bounty hunter with his friend Tom, the sleuth. That right there shows some of the humor, right? A quick read, Doe and the Wolf manged to entertain me, and to keep my mind off my upcoming exams with ease. Between the improbable situations both Dawn and Everett found themselves in, the creepy monster-gecko and the fact that […]
