Musings…

After the prequel, I need to see where this group of boys were going to go, how the romance was going to be woven into it all. I couldn’t be more excited to see what Tillie Cole has in store for us with book one.

Review to come this Tuesday

Synopsis:

They are the Fallen. A brotherhood of murderers whose nature compels them to kill. But guided by their leader, Gabriel, the Fallen have learned to use their urges to rid the world of those it is better off without.

For Raphael, sex and death are intertwined. Where there is one, there must be the other. He is a lust killer, luring his victims with the face of an angel and a body built for sin.

And Raphael lives to sin.

His newest mission takes him into the sadistic underworld of Boston’s secret sex clubs, and puts him face to face with his greatest fantasy made flesh.

Maria is everything he’s ever dreamed of, the kill he’s always longed for. She’s not his target. And he knows he must resist. But the temptation is too strong…

Yet Raphael is not the only one with a mission. Maria is not quite what she seems. And as her secrets and Raphael’s unravel, Maria begins to question everything she thought she knew—about evil, about the place she calls home, and about the beautiful sinner she was sent to destroy.

Dark Contemporary Romance. Contains sexual situations, violence, sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and topics some may find triggering. Recommended for age 18 years and up.

The Fallen: Genesis a prequel novella in The Deadly Virtues Series and MUST be read before RAPHAEL (DV: book one).

#Review “Bad Influence” by Charleigh Rose

MB 4 Comments
Image result for bad influence charleigh rose
Title: Bad Influence
Series: Bad Habits
Author: Charleigh Rose
Genre: New Adult Romance
Release Date: June 13, 2019

Sarah’s Musings…
 5 STRAWBERRY DUMDUM CROWNS

Charleigh Rose has given me not only my new favorite Bad Habits book but also my favorite Bad Habits couple. Jesse and Allie are everything, and their story, Bad Influence is emotional, heartbreaking, and sexy AF. Charleigh owned my heart with these two!

Jesse is a hero who will break your heart. He has that cocky, bad boy vibe, and he has just the right amount of arrogance to make him sexy, that thin line where it is entertaining and you can’t help but laugh. But at the story progresses, you see the depth to his character, the brokenness that plagues his soul. This is what makes me want to wrap him up in a fictional hug and tell him he is worthy of all the things he wants in life. That is part of the reason that I LOVE Allie, because she shows him his worth, she makes him fight, and she brings the real Jesse to the surface.

Allie isn’t free from her own demons from her past who haunt her. She has her own chip on her shoulder, but these fractured pieces of their personalities is what brings them together. They see a likeness in each other. They see someone who understands and loves all the broken parts, and they heal each other equally. She doesn’t save him, he doesn’t save her. They save each other.

I devoured this story from the moment I cracked it open. I was drawn in by Jesse’s seeming spiral down into the abyss, and his interactions with Allie. I love their play and banter. Their chemistry is charged, and even their conversations fills the air with that electric charge. There are plenty of physically intimate moments between these two, and the chemistry that electrifies the air when they are simply in the room together explodes into some of the hottest scenes I’ve read in some time. And not because they are over the top or raunchy or explicit, but because it is Jesse and Allie. More than just their chemistry, Charleigh takes readers on journey as these young characters find their way through loss and abandonment and feelings of being unworthy, which are all feelings that most readers can relate with. Plus, we get the angst, the emotion, and the happily ever after we all love with characters who deserve the best endings.

Charleigh Rose has created pure magic with Allie and Jesse, as Bad Influence delivers emotion, angst, and steam that are the key components to any must read romance. This is definitely a book to be at the top of your TBR!

#Review “Savaged” by Mia Sheridan

MB 5 Comments

Image result for mia sheridan savaged

New York Times Best Selling Author Mia Sheridan delivers it all with this NEW release! Anyone knows I’m an uber Mia fan and devour every delectable morsel that comes out of her brain but THIS…this is more. It’s tantalizing for the bored reader mind, uniquely refreshing and a totally engrossing page turner you’ll never want to end.

Tricia’s Musings…

5 crowns

I know this is not the first time I’ve said this, but I love it when a story takes me by surprise. A first read for me by this author, Savaged by Mia Sheridan with its complex, multi layered plot line and amazing twists and turns surprised the heck out of me. It’s tragic but beautiful at the same time, a love story unlike any other I’ve read. I don’t necessarily like to ugly cry when reading but I do like to feel the emotions and with this book Ms Sheridan had me feeling more of those emotions than I know how to express in words.

With it’s wonderful imagery and fantastic narration I was taken on a suspenseful and intense journey, which at times was not only heartbreaking but heartwarming. As I became immersed I realised there were moments when I was holding my breath and when certain revelations were made, my jaw literally dropped. Heart wrenching and gripping, you need to experience the intensity for yourself, which is why I have not talked about the plot at all.

Savaged is heavy on the suspense and intrigue and some may say this is not a romance. I would disagree. Romance is something which takes a relationship past the point of friendship, it’s a strong attraction towards another, a courtship, a connection. Whilst certainly unconventional, I would say for me Jak and Harper’s story has, and is, all that and more. Their story may start out serendipitously, but their bond is visceral and so strong, these two were ultimately destined to be together. If, like me, you enjoy the unexpected and the unusual, to be stunned and astounded and left open mouthed, then this is the book for you.

#Excerpt “Making Up” by Helena Hunting

MB 3 Comments

MU - PO.jpg

Making Up, an all-new laugh-out-loud romantic comedy standalone from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting is coming July 16th and we have a sneak peek!

Making Up_ebook.jpg

Synopsis:

Cosy Felton is great at her job—she knows just how to handle the awkwardness that comes with working at an adult toy store. So when the hottest guy she’s ever seen walks into the shop looking completely overwhelmed, she’s more than happy to turn on the charm and help him purchase all of the items on his list.

Griffin Mills is using his business trip in Las Vegas as a chance to escape the broken pieces of his life in New York City. The last thing he wants is to be put in charge of buying gag gifts for his friend’s bachelor party. Despite being totally out of his element, and mortified by the whole experience, Griffin is pleasantly surprised when he finds himself attracted to the sales girl that helped him.

As skeptical as Cosy may be of Griffin’s motivations, there’s something about him that intrigues her. But sometimes what happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas and when real life gets in the way, all bets are off. Filled with hilariously awkward situations and enough sexual chemistry to power Sin City, Making Up is the next standalone in the Shacking Up world.

#NewRelease “Stay” by Tia Louise

MB 4 Comments

STAY by Tia Louise

COMING JUNE 11

Sarah’s Musings…

4 CROWNS

STAY by Tia Louise takes the alpha hero to the max. If you love heroes that make you want to punch something while also steaming up your kindle, you have found your next read.

These two have their very own set of issues coming into this story, and their second chance romance is hot. The balancing of their past with their lustful connection in the present intertwines these tropes very well. Add into a cute as heck kid, and reads will have an enjoyable romance.

There are moments where Stephen seemed to be too much for me, and Emmy to accepting or forgiving. I would have liked to see him brought to his knees a bit more or have Emmy stand up to him, but overall I really enjoyed them and their journey to their HEA.

The one thing that Tia Louise always does well is the steam and chemistry, especially in the bedroom, and Stay is another fantastic example of this.

WW You FOR WEB.jpg

Synopsis:

When I was fifteen, a single bullet changed my life. I spent the next decade trying to outrun the devastation of my past, building an empire that would shield me from whatever life could throw at me.

But all the money in the world couldn’t help me when I found a screaming newborn abandoned on my doorstep.

I’d never wanted to be a father. Passing the sludge that ran through my veins down to an innocent child seemed like a tragedy. But there she was—pink cheeks, red hair, and mine.

Somehow, against all logic, that little girl became the best thing that ever happened to me. It was impossible to stay lost in the past when I was the only one who could protect her future.

Which is exactly why, when her mother came back four years later, I was ready for battle.

If only I could stop myself from falling in love with her during the war.

Noah Becker is nothing but trouble.

That’s what Mama told me when I was a kid, kicking his pew in church and giggling at the games we’d play. It’s what the town said when his father died and the Becker brothers went wild.

The me I’m not sure I’m allowed to be.

I’m Ruby Grace Barnett, the mayor’s daughter. Soon to be a politician’s wife, just like Mama and Daddy always wanted. Soon to fulfill my family’s legacy, just like I always knew I would.

#Excerpt “Ask Me Why” by Harloe Rae

MB 3 Comments

ASK MY WHY by Harloe Rae
Release Date: June 20, 2019
Genre: Contemporary romance (Enemies to lovers, single father)

Blurb
One deep breath. Two slow blinks. Three hollow beats.
I’m still here.

After three years, that reminder isn’t as necessary. But everyone has their bad days. This is definitely one of them.

Until an adorable little boy dashes into my store.
His zest for life makes me smile in a way that’s been long lost.

Then I meet his father.
Well, confront is more like it.

Brance Stone is volatile.
Offensive.
Harsh.
And can’t be bothered to care.

Not that I want him to.
I get frostbite just looking into Brance’s glacial stare. But there’s something undeniable about him.

My misery suddenly craves company. The suffocating numbness lifts whenever Brance is near. That alone should have me running in the opposite direction. Try as I might, there’s no avoiding him. If only I could understand why. As if he’d let me.

I don’t ask. He doesn’t tell. A silent, bitter truce settles between us.
That was our first mistake.
It’s certainly not the last.

#ComingSoon “Jersey Six” by Jewel E. Ann

MB 4 Comments

“Jewel E. Ann has once again crafted a flawless story that is utterly unique and unforgettable. Hands down my favorite book of 2019!”

— Aly Martinez, USA Today bestselling author

Jersey Six - RB banner.jpg

Jersey Six, an all-new “intriguing, gut wrenching and raw” romantic suspense from Jewel E. Ann, is available now!

Tricia’s Musings…

5 crowns

I love the diverse nature of this author’s books, her varied subject matter and ability to provide readers with something unique when it comes to each of the books she writes. The versatility of her writing is second to none and Jersey Six is a shining example of this. In my opinion, it shouldn’t be compared to any any of her previous novels, it’s more than deserving of a spotlight all to itself.

This was not a book I wanted to race through, despite its intriguing plot line. It’s raw and gritty and suspenseful and I wanted to savour every moment of it. I had so many confusing and conflicting feelings about each of the complex personalities who play a leading role in this story. Their character development was thrilling and played a large part in ensuring that I changed my mind about each of them on more than one occasion. I wasn’t going to talk about the main characters but as I was writing this review my thoughts kept coming back to Jersey, who is a complete force of nature. She’s had so many setbacks in her life and endured unimaginable hardships, yet she’s resilient, having survived so far by living on her instincts and sticking to her own code, a sort of “do what needs to be done” and “don’t sweat the small things” kind of attitude. Her idea of small things and mine are miles apart but I have to say, I loved her, even when she clearly got things wrong. She’s a woman to be reckoned with, on the surface so strong and determined, yet there’s a deeper, more vulnerable and susceptible layer to her. I was completely captivated.

The twists and turns in this story were spectacular, breath stealing at times. These, together with some dramatic revelations, took me completely by surprise. There was one secret I did sort of guess but nothing about this book is straight forward and when I thought I knew what was going on, I really didn’t.

I continue to delight in the fact that this author doesn’t write conventional stories with stereotypical characters. It is safe to say Jersey Six is definitely not your typical romance. It is, however, a wonderfully woven tale of intrigue, betrayal, deceit and revenge. It’s dark and intense, shocking and often disturbing but at its core is an amazingly complex and emotional love story and it blew me away. Continue Reading →

#CoverReveal “Coming Up Roses” by Staci Hart

MB 3 Comments

FACEBOOK-cover-reveal.jpg

Coming Up Roses, an all-new enemies to lovers romantic comedy from Staci Hart is coming August 1st, and we have the beautiful cover!

CUR-ebook.jpg

Synopsis:

Everyone hates parts of their job.

Maybe it’s the paperwork. Maybe it’s the day-to-day grind. Maybe it’s that client who never knows what they want, or the guy who always cooks fish in the microwave.

But not me. I love every corner of the Longbourne Flower Shop, every flower, every petal, every stem. I love the greenhouse, and I love Mrs. Bennet, my boss. I love creating, and I love being a florist. I don’t hate anything at all.

Except for Luke Bennet.

The Bennet brothers have come home to help their mom save the flower shop, and Luke is at the helm. His smile tells a tale of lust, loose and easy. He moves with the grace of a predator, feral and wild. A thing unbridled, without rules or constraint.

When he comes home to save Longbourne, I almost can’t be mad at him.

Almost.

He doesn’t remember that night I’ll never forget. That kiss, touched with whiskey and fire. It branded me like a red-hot iron. But it meant nothing to him.

Everyone hates part of their job, and I hate Luke Bennet.

Because if I don’t, I’ll fall in love with him.

#NewRelease “Malum Part: 2” by Amo Jones

MB 4 Comments

Malum: Part 2 (The Elite King’s Club book 5), a dark and emotional romance by Amo Jones is NOW LIVE!

Sarah’s Musings…

5 SAVAGE CROWNS

Amo Jones has hit me with all the feels – outrage, intrigue, chemistry, steam, romance, and so much more. Each page was a revelation, each moment filled to the brim with emotion. I was enthralled from the beginning, and by the end I can’t even begin to explain what my brain was thinking and my heart was feeling.

Nate has so many sides to his personality. He is Malum – reckless, devoid of emotion and apathy, and as violent as they game. He is the playboy, manwhore who doesn’t know how to love. In Malum Part 2, though, he becomes so much more. He grapples with loss and grief, the conflict facing the Kings, and his heart belonging to Tillie, even when he doesn’t want it to. Like the rest of the Kings, he is a man with the world on his shoulders fighting for, with, and against his Queen, even when it doesn’t seem that way. If I thought Nate was my favorite King before or that I couldn’t love him more, I was DEAD wrong.

Tillie is SAVAGE, just straight up savage. She is truly equal to the kings in all ways that matter, and there is reason that she is allowed to run with them. She is smart and will take revenge with her own hands. She protects those who are more fragile, and she provides this missing piece to the group that truly makes the Kings a familial unit, in a way we have never seen them before. My most favorite moments are when this group comes together as a family, joking and laughing, and the love and respect they feel for each other emanates from these moments. She is the missing piece to their crew, and just like NATE, she is without a doubt my favorite Amo heroine.

This story, like all of her stories, has many plot lines running through it. Readers get the romance of Nate and Tillie, a chronicle of not just their love but of their grief and their hard journey back to each other, a bit bruised and altered, but still at the core, two people who possess each other equally. Then we have the running King plot line with Perdita and the inner workings and betrayal of the generations of kings and the rebels and the circle, as well as the introduction of a new generation. To top it all off, readers also get plot revelations that will break their hearts as well as blow their minds, and as with any Amo Jones book, we get so many answers and are left with just as many questions to be answered in the remaining books for Brantley and Bishop and Madison.

There is a reason that I devoured the Elite Kings book when I stumbled upon them two years ago. They are unique and dark, they shed light on the best and worst parts of humanity, they exemplify that everyone has the capacity to love in their own way, and they show that families can form in the most unlikely of places. Her stories are layered, complex, engaging, and completely original, and her twisted mind never fails to entertain me.

#Review “Her Perfect” by Stephie Walls

MB 3 Comments

Title: Her Perfect

Author: Stephie Walls

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: May 1, 2019

Tricia’s Musings…

5 Crowns

Her Perfect is unlike any forbidden student/teacher romance I’ve read before and I’m not sure how I’m going to do this book justice with my review, especially as I don’t want to talk specifically about the plot. For that reason, my review will be short and vague. I was not prepared for what happened between these pages and my enjoyment of the story was even better because of it.

This story is deep and multilayered, raw, heart wrenching and gripping. SO much more than I was expecting. With each page I turned, each new revelation, it drew me in. It’s a story about relationships, those than heal and those that harm, with a wonderfully talented young woman at its centre. It’s about striving for perfection when you don’t feel good enough. About how, even in the midst of a crowd, you can feel totally alone and invisible, until finally, like an answered prayer, that one incredible person sees you for who you really are, the unique shining light in a sea of sameness and conformity. That one person who then becomes your champion, willing to sacrifice everything because they believe in you.

“I just need you to know I see you. I want you. Every perfection and every flaw. I love all of you equally.”

Touching and inspirational, I don’t hesitate to recommend Her Perfect.

#Review “The Red Zone” by Amie Knight

MB 3 Comments

Tricia’s Musings…

5 crowns

I love it when a book takes me by surprise, and The Red Zone by Amie Knight totally swept me off my feet. It’s a real feel good story and I absolutely loved it.

The romance between Lukas and Scarlett may be a slow burn but the pacing is just right in my opinion. The whole story flows beautifully and I love the inclusion of their friends and family, even if some of those friendships take some time to evolve and are hard won. There were moments of sadness and reflection but I felt the author kept the overall feel of the book lighthearted. For me, it has just the right amount of drama and angst to give the story depth.

The star of the show was Ella, who is an absolute sweetheart. Her character was beautifully written with respect and understanding. Lukas’ devotion and love for her stole my heart and made me fall for him even more.

There’s lots of wonderful banter between Lukas and Scarlett, brilliantly written, and the many laugh out loud moments earned me some funny looks from my family, particularly when one “hair raising” scene had me in hysterics. The simmering, smouldering sexual tension between them is off the charts but I especially love the way they’re friends before lovers. I have to admit there were moments when I got frustrated with Scarlett and I really wanted to shake some sense into her for dwelling on the past too much. She’s such a lovely person though, a special needs teacher with a big heart, that it was easy to forgive her hesitation and indecisiveness where Lukas was concerned. There are some great supporting characters too and I’m really hoping we get their stories in the future. Scarlett’s interactions with her brother were really fun. I’m dying to know what he’s all about. I want to know more about Mason as well and I have a feeling there’s more to him than meets the eye.

When I finished this story, I felt as though I’d been wrapped in a warm, cosy blanket, almost like a big hug. A truly fabulous, emotional book, full of fun and humor, The Red Zone is sweet, and sexy and was an absolute joy to read.

Except, Sloane is still the one I can’t stop thinking of — brilliant, sexy, captivating Sloane. Maybe a week of taking her to new heights will get her out of my head.

So what if we spend a few nights on the town too? So what if I romance her across Manhattan? It’s all in the name of scientific pursuit of more magnificent Os.

Sarah’s Musings…

I’m emotionally wrecked. Destroyed. Happy. Sad it is over. Epic book hangover! Tillie is savage. Nate is my favorite king! I love his soft, his hard (winks) and his depraved! I never want to let them go.

FULL REVIEW TO COME ON TUESDAY

Synopsis:

Blurb:
Some girls don’t like pretty things.
Some girls like things that are destructive, and toxic. Things that fuel our bodies with adrenaline and bring our demons to their knees.
They say magic isn’t real, but it’s it the closest way to describe love? It doesn’t exist physically. It merely exists around us, within us, possessing our souls and making us do stupid shit. Shit like falling in love with a boy who knows how to rip my world apart and raise hell with a simple flick of his wrist. Their secrets are now mine. I’m not just in the middle of this game, I’m helping orchestrate it. Can the cries of my aching soul be enough to drown out the burning embers of my mistakes?

The mind strengthens the heart, roughing the edges to prepare it for war. This is a war I will not win.

This is a war of fate.
