4.5 Raw, gritty, and completely captivating stars
“I know, baby. I know you need control. But with me, you aren’t gonna get it.”
In my head I reminded myself that he was taken, but I couldn’t get over the feeling that he had always been mine.
I went into this book with absolutely zero expectations. I’m a sucker for MC books, but after a recent string of very mediocre reads, I wasn’t expecting much from a debut novel.
Holy shit was I wrong. This book blew me away! It was raw, gritty, painful, emotional, dark, passionate, and unputdownable until the very last page.
Five years ago Brenna made the decision to leave the only life she’s ever known behind, in the hopes of building a different future for herself. Being the daughter of the vice president of a MC that runs guns is not exactly what she wants to be know for.… Read more
ARC Review: Taken by Him by Red Garnier
Taken by Him by Red Garnier
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sex appeal oozed from his pores so powerfully Peyton almost felt assaulted. He was all Greek god, do-me-now-or-kill-me-now sexy.
I went into this novella with very little expectations. I mean what can you really expect from 112 pages? When it’s written by Red Garnier, quite a bit actually.
I wanted a quick and steamy little read and I got that. What I also got was great characterization, an interesting story, HOT AS HELL sex scenes, and even a few laughs.
I don’t usually enjoy novellas too much simply because they are too quick for me to get any sort of feel or liking for the characters. I was so happy to see that when it came to sexy as hell Luke and the serious yet craving some spice Peyton, that was not the case. I really enjoyed this one.… Read more
Review: Love Plus One (G-Man 2) by Andrea Smith
Love Plus One by Andrea Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
4.5 I want Taz to call ME his ‘baby girl’ STARS
“I’m not looking to get hurt, Taz. I’m just looking to get laid.”
She was a fucking contradiction in terms. She was soft and sweet; lusty and sexy; reserved and abandoned at the same time.
Well, it’s official my friends; Andrea Smith has a new stalker auto-buy fan in me. While I really enjoyed her Baby Lite series, this book pretty much blew it out of the water for me. I thought I knew what I was in for, I though I was prepared for what was coming, boy was I fucking wrong! But before I get into all that, let’s talk about a few other things.
While I have not yet read the first book in this series (something I will be rectifying immediately), I had no issues understanding what was going on.… Read more
ARC Review: Fatal Strike by Shannon McKenna
Fatal Strike by Shannon McKenna
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
That radiant smile scared him to death. All that “mine” bullshit. No longer an issue. Probably never had been. He was hers. After all his arrogant posturing. All hers.
Finally, 10 books into the series, we get a book for Miles. I’ve been intrigued by his character ever since he was introduced back in book 2. Taking into consideration how much I’ve absolutely hated Cindy, his then love interest, I’m so glad that he got a heroine totally worthy of him with Lara.
I love a good romantic suspsense, and Shannon McKenna can definitely deliver one hell of an action filled punch. But if you’ve been keeping up with the series, you have probably come to realize then when you read this series, you really must prepare yourself to leave the realm of believable. The villains in her book have been getting progressively more crazy…or actually
While enough background information is given to be able to read this as a standalone, many of the previous characters make an appearance.… Read more

Review: Uncommon Passion by Anne Calhoun
Uncommon Passion by Anne Calhoun
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
5 Beautifully Erotic Stars
My God, he was broken. So broken, this frightening vulnerability protected only by pieces of bulletproof vest held together with razor wire, attitude, and a smile that broke her heart every time he flashed it.
He was in too deep, she was too deep for a man like him, and he didn’t have anything left inside to give her.
Anne Calhoun has this way with writing that is captivating yet understated. It’s erotic and beautifully passionate. The book draws you in from the first page, and the words will weave their way all around you, making sure you experience everything along with the characters; every smell, every feeling, every sound, every passionately erotic moment. Anne doesn’t write simple erotic romances.
I have fallen in love with her writing since reading Liberating Lacey, my first book by her.… Read more
Review: ★Sanctum★ by Lexi Blake
Sanctum by Lexi Blake
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This novella was like the perfect quickie; not quite as long as you’d like it, yet oddly satisfying.
I really can never go wrong with a book by Lexi Blake, and this one was certainly no exception. I have been absolutely in lust with the Masters and Mercenaries series from the very first book, The Dom Who Loved Me. While many of my favorite characters from the past books made an appearance, this novella can easily be read as a standalone.
Eighteen months ago Ryan Church lost everything; his business and his millions. Distraught and facing jail time for a fraud that he didn’t commit, he doesn’t feel that he can uphold his end of the contract with the beautiful submissive that he’s fallen in love with. So he does the only thing that he feels is right – he lets her go.… Read more

Blaze of Secrets by Jessie Donovan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
3.5 stars
What did I think? I’m still not quite sure…
I didn’t love this one, nor did I hate it either. It had all the makings to a great book for me, the writing was good, the characters intriguing, steamy, with fantastic world building. Yet somewhere along the way, it just fell flat. Not enough for me to put it down, but enough that it did take me longer than usual to finish it. I tend to rate books based on how unputdownable it is for me. While I was curious enough to finish it, I had no problems putting it down for a while to go back to it later.
My first love is PNR, considering the series that first sucked me into the wonderful world of books was Black Dagger Brotherhood. So I have a bit of a soft spot when it comes to PNR and discovering new authors.… Read more
