Review: IRON PRINCESS by Meghan March!

  
My Review:  Another Meghan March book down... and another puddle of drool because I'm so in love. All of her books are the best, and each time a new one comes out, I say it's my new all time favorite. But there's something about this series. I like it better than Mounts books. Both this book and the previous one have hit all my happy buttons, and I cannot get enough. 

I so wish I could talk about the ending, and share my ideas of where this is going, but this, like all my reviews, will remain spoiler free. I will say, however - Oh my gosh, I need the next book NOW!! How can she do this to me? And expect me to wait on top of it?! Thank goodness there's only a month to wait...

Cover Lovin': Another awesome cover!

Recommendation: You MUST have read Savage Prince. This is a direct sequel. 

Final Rating: FOUR out of FIVE stars (4/5)!! Another awesome book..  but how am I supposed to survive until the third one?!

Happy Reading!

He’s a mystery. An enigma. His very identity is a secret buried beneath layers of deception. He’s also an addiction I can’t shake. An attraction I can’t fight. And then I found out exactly who he is—a man more dangerous than the devil himself. Now I need him in order to save everything that matters to me. I have to pull back. Protect myself from the danger that haunts his every step. Which would be easy . . . if I could stop myself from falling in love with him.

Review: ON HIS KNEES by Laura Kaye!



My Review: I'm not sure I have enough words for this book. I don't read a lot of m/m romance, but I love Laura Kaye and the Blasphemy series, so I wasn't going to pass up the chance to read the new one, even if it's not something I'd normally pick up. And I'm so, so glad I did. I inhaled this book. It was so deep and sexy, and I need more.

Alex and Jamie's story was just so incredibly beautiful. Not only was it fascinating to watch Jamie come to terms with what he didn't realize he needed, but to see Alex open himself up to something real.. Sigh. And, no spoilers... but readers, I almost cried when Jamie was kneeling near the end. I wish I could give specifics, but I guess you'll just have to read it and find out what I'm talking about!

Cover Lovin': How hot is that?!

Recommendation: Each Blasphemy book can be read as a stand-alone - but you'll want more, trust me.

Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars (5/5)! This was so emotional, and so hot. I love the Blasphemy series, and each one just gets better than the last!


Happy Reading!

About ON HIS KNEES (Blasphemy #5):

Getting on his knees makes him question everything…and want even more…

Another failed relationship has lawyer Jamie Fielding confronting the truth—he’ll never be satisfied with any woman until he admits what he needs…to submit and to be used—hard. When a friend invites him to the exclusive Blasphemy club, Jamie is stunned to find everything he ever wanted—in the fierce, ruthless hands of a man.

Psychiatrist Alex McGarry will play with anyone who craves his rough brand of domination, but what he really wants is to settle down. Which makes the submissive male he meets at his club a bad idea—the man might be hot as hell but he’s also new to everything Alex has to offer. Except that doesn’t keep them from coming together again and again, sating every one of their darkest desires.

Master Alex sets Jamie’s whole world on fire and makes him question everything—and that’s good. Because Alex won’t tolerate hiding what they have for long and he wants much more than just having Jamie on his knees...

Review: SWEET TIME by Nina Lane!

 
My Review: I had to sleep on this one. If I had reviewed it instantly, I would have given it five stars. But giving myself some time to think about it, I realize it's not perfect. Of course it's not, no book is perfect, but I was in love with this one. And even after giving it some time, I still love it, I just realize it has flaws. I loved Gavin, and I loved Gavin and Mia's scenes together, specifically those that take place in the bedroom... or the kitchen, the living room.. wherever they are, really. They were hot together, and those scenes actually made me blush. Me! I read things darker and more twisted than this on a regular basis, but Gavin just did it for me, I guess.

My only issues with this book (and what might have made it a three star book, if not for the pure enjoyment factor that bumped it up to four), stemmed from how some of the characters acted. Mia is smart.. but there were moments where she was just ridiculously oblivious, and that was rough to read. Going along with that, there were moments where Gavin was almost condescending in the way he spoke to her. I know that's not what the author wanted to convey, but what he said made me frown a time or two. But these moments were few and far between, not to mention so very, very short. The rest of the book was a fun read. Sure, the villain may be more than a little obvious, but that doesn't mean it wasn't thrilling when it needed to be.

Cover Lovin': Can I just say how much I love the placement of the heart sucker? *snort*

Recommendation: This can work as a stand-alone. No prior knowledge required.

Final Rating: FOUR out of FIVE stars (4/5)! This was a tough one for me to rate. There were definitely some moments of three-star-ness, but overall, this book was hot and fun, so I think it deserves four stars.


Happy Reading!
~!~ Amanda, Novel Addiction ~!~     

Stuck in a boring insurance job, vivacious Mia Donovan has spent the last few years searching for her life's true path. She fills her time helping plan the wedding of her best friend to the CEO of the Sugar Rush Candy Company.

Mia has also been trying to attract the impossibly rigid Sugar Rush security chief Gavin Knight. But for well over a year, the unyielding Mr. Knight has ignored her, despite her short skirts, tight sweaters, and patently obvious flirting. And when he finally approaches her, it's only to assess the wedding plans for potential security risks.

A former soldier, Gavin has intercepted hostile anonymous letters threatening the high-profile wedding. Determined to keep everyone safe, he's forced to work with the maddeningly sexy Miss Donovan of the thousand-watt charm and irresistible body.

Irked by Gavin's many months of disregard, Mia takes her teasing flirtations to a whole new level. But her coquettish ways are no match for the edgy, lust-fueled dominant he conceals behind his impassive exterior. And when Gavin exerts his full control, Mia discovers he can protect everything except her heart.

A smile curved her mouth. She stretched one leg over him and straddled his waist. With her nipples poking out of her bra, her skin flushed and her hair a waterfall of gold, he could have stared at her for hours if he weren’t about to implode with lust. He pinched her rosy nipples and twisted the strap of her bra. “Take this off,” he ordered. “I want you naked.” She shed her bra, revealing her perfect round breasts. She braced her hands on the mattress and leaned in to kiss him deeply, her tongue tracing the line of his lips. He slid his hands down to grasp her ass, working one finger between her cheeks. She inhaled sharply, but didn’t protest, arching her back like she wanted more. He’d give her more. And despite her willingness, it might be more than she could handle. More than she could take. “Wait,” she whispered, wiggling back so she was straddling his thighs. “Where are the condoms?” “Drawer in the nightstand.” She reached over to retrieve one and took her sweet time sheathing his dick. By the time she was done, his teeth were clenched from the light, tickling touch of her fingers. He grasped her hips. “Ride me.” Mia bit her lip, a flush rising to her cheekbones. For a second he thought she’d decline, but she lifted herself up, her hand circling the base of his cock as she positioned herself. Then she sank onto him, and the world exploded into the hot, tight clench of her pussy, the sound of her low groan, the clench of her knees around his hips. A flash of pain crossed her face before it was replaced with heavy lust. Heat sizzled through the air. She curled her fingers into his chest and started to move. “Oh my God.” Her breath grew fast, her astonished gaze still holding his. “I feel you so deep, all the way up here.” She pressed one hand to her belly and shifted again, working her gorgeous body up and down on his cock. He dug his fingers into her hips. His jaw clenched to the point of pain. He fought the urge to thrust, to drive them both to the edge. She was a fucking goddess, her tits bouncing, her body flexing and writhing, sweat glistening on her skin. “Faster.” He bit out the order, his blood on fire. She leaned forward, her hair falling in curtains on either side of her face, her little panting breaths puffing against his neck. Her eyes darkened with hunger and urgency. “I need it, Gavin,” she whispered, her teeth capturing her lower lip again. “I need to come with you inside me, hard and deep and… oh God…” “That’s right.” He grabbed her waist and thrust upward, needing to be inside her as far as he could. “Get yourself off… Christ, you’re incredible, all soft tight heat… you’re going to jerk me off, cover your little pussy with my come…” A shudder rocked through her. She braced her hands on his chest and moved faster. Breathy cries came from her parted lips. “I want you to do it first,” she gasped, sliding up and down his cock like a well-oiled piston. “Mark me.” She moved off him before he could stop her, her chest heaving as she slid back to sit on his thighs. She rolled the condom off his erection and stroked, her tapered fingers moving up and down his aching shaft, her thumb caressing the swollen crown. “Do it, Gavin.” Her voice was husky and threaded with anticipation. “Come on my pussy. Give me everything you have.” “Ah, shit.” Every part of him tensed. Fiery pressure built. He gripped her smooth thighs and thrust into her fist. “So goddamned close… harder… now… .fuck.” Heat exploded through him, jets of come splashing over her belly. She gasped, her fist still working his dick until the sensations ebbed. He groaned, sinking against the pillows. “That’s so fucking sexy,” she whispered, releasing him only to slide her fingers through the mess coating her skin. “I love how you feel on me.” “Get yourself off for me.” He stroked his hands up and down her smooth, damp thighs. “I want to watch you.” Shivering, she slipped one hand between her legs and brought the other to her breasts. She twisted her pink nipple and worked her fingers on her clit. Much as he wanted to delve his fingers into her slippery heat again, he restrained himself from reaching for her. He couldn’t take his eyes off the sight of her touching herself, her body sleek and soft. She threw her head back, her hair spilling over her shoulders. Moaning, she moved her fingers more frantically, her body tensing with need. “Gavin,” she gasped. “I feel it… I still feel you… oh God, I’m going to… ah!” A high, keening cry broke from her throat as her body shook, her hand still rubbing her clit. Fucking gorgeous sight, spearing him with fresh lust. “Oh fuck.” She groaned, collapsing on top of him in a hot, sweet bundle of softness. “That was amazing. My ass is still sore from your hand, and I swear that made me come even harder.” He gave a short laugh. Yeah, he’d lost the battle all right. He was about to lose the whole fucking war. And never before had he wanted to surrender.       New York Times & USA Today bestselling author Nina Lane writes hot, sexy romances about professors, bad boys, candy makers, and protective alpha males who find themselves consumed with love for one woman alone. Originally from California, Nina holds a PhD in Art History and an MA in Library and Information Studies, which means she loves both research and organization.

Review: THEIRS TO TAKE by Laura Kaye!



My Review: I'm torn about this one. On one hand, I think author Laura Kaye did a good job handling a trio relationship, and all the worries that might arise from that. She also, of course, did a great job with the hot and steamy scenes - no surprise there because she is a master at it, for sure. But this story felt like it was lacking some depth. And I think that stems from the fact that it seems like these characters fall in love too quickly. If this book had been longer, so the audience could actually experience all the time they spent together working on her boat, I think it would have all felt natural. But due to space constraints, the time they spend working together is mostly breezed through. But I think we needed that time.

This book had a different feel from the others, and I think that's because it takes place mostly outside of the club itself. It also doesn't feature BDSM anywhere near as heavily as the previous books. Instead, the focus is on making a menage work - which is where it should be. This dynamic can be hard to pull off. But unsurprisingly, Laura Kaye pulls it off with flying colors. Because she is a rockstar.

Cover Lovin: Fits great with the rest of the series!

Recommendation: This, like the rest of the series, can be read as a stand alone.

Final Rating: THREE POINT FIVE out of FIVE stars (3.5/5)!! Lacked some depth, but the well written trio and steamy scenes made up for it!


Happy Reading!

Review: THE WILDE TOUCH by Stoni Alexander!


My Review: First off, I have to talk about how amazing this author is at keeping all the subplots, twists, and turns not only straight, but easy to remember and comprehend. Despite so much going on in this book, I never once felt lost or unsure about what was going on. The story is so incredibly complex, but I could always keep everything appropriately separated - or could see where several storylines were starting to merge.

This was a one-sitting read. Not only does this include one of my all-time favorite romance tropes - Older brother's best friend/Best friend's little sister - but it's such a deep, intriguing suspense story. And on top of that? It's so, so hot. Steamy. I'm surprised I didn't melt when I was reading some of these scenes. But it would have been worth it. What a way to go! Melted by Crockett Wilde. So worth it.

Not only does Stoni Alexander write genuine characters, but you can empathize with their feelings of hurt, frustration, love, etc. When Alexandra has to deal with a new boss, or when Crockett had one of his devices malfunction - you can feel the frustration coming through the book. For a new author on the scene, Stoni Alexander knows what she's doing. Both The Mitus Touch and The Wilde Touch were un-put-downable, and I fully expect any more books by this author will be equally so.

Highly recommended, and I can't wait for you all to meet Crockett!

Cover Lovin': Yum! And works perfectly with book one.

Recommendation: The Wilde Touch can be read without reading The Mitus Touch. But personally, I'd recommend the first book since you'll get some useful backstory.

Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars (5/5)! Another amazing book by Stoni Alexander! This might have eclipsed The Mitus Touch for me, but they're both so good it's hard to choose. I can't wait for more by this author!


About the Book:
Emmy-winning journalist Alexandra Reed returns to the DC area with two goals in mind—care for her ailing mom and steer clear of devastatingly handsome Crockett Wilde. But the man who stole her heart, then broke it, is impossible to avoid. As her life spins out of control, she finds pleasure in her secret escape—a sex-play club. And that’s where things really heat up…

Tech CEO Crockett Wilde is at the top of his game, but beneath his calm surface lies a raging volcano. When he finds the monster who abducted his sister, he’ll unleash a decade of pain. The one person who can subdue his demons—beautiful, headstrong Alexandra—wants nothing to do with him. Yet, he’s determined to set the record straight and not let the love of his life get away.


As Alexandra follows a trail of suspicious incidents at the kink club, Crockett seizes the opportunity to prove he’s not the bad guy she believes him to be. Together they unmask an underworld of evil. But it's the moment she goes missing that changes their lives in unimaginable ways.

Review: EYES ON YOU by Laura Kaye!

   

From New York Times Bestselling author Laura Kaye, comes EYES ON YOU, a new novella in her Blasphemy Series, brought to you by 1,001 Dark Nights! Be sure to grab your copy today!

   
My Review: I'm going to start with what didn't work for me, which works out since its the beginning of the book. I get that Wolf and Liv meeting is supposed to feel like fate, a perfect chance meeting that became something amazing.. But alas, it just felt cheesy, fake, and forced. After having read several Laura Kaye books now, this is far from the norm for her. She's usually great and making everything feel real and genuine. But I guess she saved all that for the steamy scenes.

Like the previous books in this series, the sex scenes are beyond hot. My windows were fogging up here, people - and that's saying something, because Wolf and Liv's kink is not my own. I also have to give major kudos for the treatment of BDSM and especially consent. This is hugely important, and Laura Kaye doesn't skimp on the explanations and safety. And once I got past the cheesy "meet cute," the romance itself was sweet, and just an overall good story.

Cover Lovin': Fits with the rest of the 1001 Dark Nights Series.

Recommendation: This can be read as a stand-alone, though multiple characters from previous books play small roles.

Final Rating: THREE POINT FIVE out of FIVE stars (3.5/5)! The two of them meeting, instead of feeling like fate, felt cheesy and staged. But the romance was beautifully sweet, and the sex scenes steaming hot!

Happy Reading!
~!~ Amanda, Novel Addiction ~!~

About EYES ON YOU (Blasphemy #3):

She wants to explore her true desires, and he wants to watch… When a sexy stranger asks Wolf Henrikson to rescue her from a bad date, he never expected to want the woman for himself. But their playful conversation turns into a scorching one-night stand that reveals the shy beauty gets off on the idea of being seen, even if she’s a little scared of it, too. And Wolf loves to watch.

In the wake of discovering her fiancé’s infidelity, florist Olivia Foster never expected to find someone who not only understood her wildest, darkest fantasies, but would bring them to life. As Wolf introduces her to his world at the play club, Blasphemy, Liv finds herself tempted to explore submission and exhibitionism with the hard-bodied Dom even as she’s scared to trust again.

But Wolf is a master of getting what he wants—and he’s got his eyes set on her…

Review: UNBOUND by Lauren Hawkeye!

My Review: I'm a bit torn about this serial. On one hand, I'm let down because I thought the synopsis for this series was awesome and I was eager to read about a female archaeologist. Unfortunately, it seems like the actual plot was barely an afterthought. On the other hand, the sex scenes were super hot. I read some raunchy things on an every day basis, and even I was blushing a little. 

It took me some time to try and put into words exactly what didn't work for me about this book, and I think I finally figured it out. It felt disjointed, like it was trying to be two different things at once, and ended up failing at both. The plot of the threats against Cari, and the need for a bodyguard to ensure her safety is interesting - but it falls by the wayside when it comes to all the sex Cari and Jasper are having. At the same time, the erotic scenes are super hot, and then it feels like an abrupt turn when the suspense angle comes back in. I think this book needed to either put more focus on the story line itself, or go all the way to the other end and just focus on the sex. 

Cover Lovin': All the covers for this serial work well together. 

Recommendation: Each book picks up where the previous one left off, so they must be read in order. 

Final Rating: TWO POINT FIVE out of FIVE stars (2.5/5). This serial felt a little too bipolar. Trying to be two different things at once meant it unfortunately didn't come close to succeeding at either aim. Definitely hot though, whew. *fans self*

Happy Reading!

About the Uninhibited! Series

Celebrity archaeologist Cari Dunn is so over the Georgia heat, the red tape at her dig site, and the threatening messages left on her motel door. She just wants to dig, and the network just wants to keep her safe—with a bodyguard. She can’t complain. Jasper Benjamin radiates raw masculinity that penetrates her to the core and ignites passion she’s never felt. Too bad for him, she's not going to be easy to handle.
Lusting after the bodyguard shouldn’t be so tempting, especially when her life is on the line.

About Lauren Hawkeye

Lauren Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson never imagined that she’d wind up telling stories for a living… though when she looks back, it’s easy to see that she’s the only one who is surprised. Always “the kid who read all the time”, Lauren made up stories about her favorite characters once she’d finished a book… and once spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic temperament.

Lauren lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, toddler, pit bull and idiot cat, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting (her husband claims that her snobby yarn collection is exorbitant), reading anything she can get her hands on, or sweating her way through spin class. She loves to hear from her readers!

Review: THE MITUS TOUCH by Stoni Alexander!

Release Date: March 2017

Type: Series, Book 1, Contemporary Romance, Intrigue, Mitus Can Touch Me Whenever He Wants

About the Book: She’s desperate for the one man she must avoid at all costs…

Wealth manager Brigit Farnay despises Colton Mitus. And with good reason. He ripped away her family’s company during the most painful time in her life. Forced to work with him, she can’t deny that Colton is gorgeous, brilliant, commanding. And the enemy. Her traitorous body craves his touch every moment of every day. And then she finds out about the erotic games he plays…

Corporate raider Colton Mitus is success and power personified. He demands control in the boardroom and in the bedroom. So he shouldn’t be tempted by the newest member of the Mitus team. But he is. Brigit challenges him and frustrates him, but also quiets the demons that haunt him, especially as she agrees to be drawn into his secret, sinful world.

The most lucrative deal of Colton’s career places Brigit’s family’s company in jeopardy. When old enemies return hell-bent on ruining him, Brigit is the only person who can save him. But she’s been keeping secrets that could destroy everything… [Description from Goodreads.com]

My Review:

This was awesome! I started reading an hour before bed, thinking I’d get some read before passing out for the night - but no, I had to stay up until I finished it. Normally, I enjoy reading romance because, well… to be honest, I really enjoy the smut. But in this book, the smut just added to what was seriously a very intriguing story. I couldn’t put it down. The story itself is classic - a woman with a secret she needs to keep hidden from the man she’s falling for - but author Stoni Alexander gives it her own spin, making this book unique.

This is one of those cases where I’m so glad this was offered to review, because I’m not sure I would have ever heard about it otherwise. And I would have been really missing out. I can’t praise this enough, it was just that good. This is the only book the author has written, which breaks my heart a little because I’d love to read more by her. But fear not! There will be another book in the Touch series coming later this year, featuring some different main characters. I can’t wait!

Cover Lovin': Two thumbs up!

Recommendation: Book one, no prior knowledge necessary - but you'll be desperate for more by this author!


Final Rating: FIVE out of FIVE stars! I couldn't put this down, and I cannot wait for more.

Happy Reading!
