Beautiful Redemption

Beautiful Redemption (The Maddox Brothers #2) 

Jamie McGuire

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This book was okay but didn't have a patch on beautiful disaster. Dating someone who is still in love with their ex is a big turn off for me and that was my main problem with this book.

Liis has just moved to San Diego for a fresh start. She has taken a new job and ditched the old boyfriend. She spends her first night in the local pub and decides to let loose. After a hot streamy night with a total stranger Liis is ready to settle into her new job. Unfortunately her new boss is her one night stand and a total hard ass. Liis has to show she won't lie down and just take his crap.

Thomas has been nursing a broken heart for sometime now. When Liis walks into his life he may have just found the answer to all his prayers. This story is slightly inter twined into a beautiful disaster. It can be read as a standalone. If your looking for something to blow you away this isn't that book but if you go into it without expectation, it's a good easy bedtime read.

4 stars out of 5.

Punk 57

Punk 57 

Penelope Douglas

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ +

 Penelope Douglas is a legend. She wrote my favourite book and for that matter my favourite series of books. Her writing isn't for everyone. It's controversial and could quite easily give you the best roller coaster ride of your life.

Punk 57 is her new book and it doesn't disappoint. Ryen and Misha have been writing to each other for years. They fit perfectly until they meet. In letters you can express your inner most feelings and don't have to worry about the other persons reaction. Ryen has learnt to conform in her real life. She wants to fit in and is willing to pay whatever the price. She's popular, mean and a spoilt princess but everything about her is fake and ugly.

Misha doesn't really like people. He doesn't conform and he's happy to do his own thing. The night he meets Ryen his life changes forever. She doesn't know it yet but he's about to take her for one hell of a ride.

Be true to yourself and own it!

5 stars out of 5. Loved it.

Ex-Wives of Dracula

Ex-Wives of Dracula 

Georgette Kaplan

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ❣

This book definitely offered something different. It's has an original storyline, Whitty banter and is long enough to sink your teeth into it.

Mindy became uncool as she progressed into high school where as her ex bestie became the definition of the word. Lucia is beautiful, popular, part of the cheerleading squad and has the stud boyfriend. Mindy has no social life or friends and high school is more like a mine field. Even worse she is trying to figure out who she is when the whole world has already decided.

After years of living next door to each other and not seeing each other something has changed. Lucia wants Mindy back in her life even if she doesn't fit. Throw in some vampire problems as well as some confused sexual orientation and we have a whole lot of book.

3.5 stars out of 5. If you are looking for something different to refresh your pages this would do the trick.

The deal was to get married for 5 years and keep their relationship strictly platonic. What could go wrong? They win a free honeymoon which is part of a reality Tv show and the lines get blurred. 

Standalone novel.

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

 Free kindle book!

This is the first shifter book I have enjoyed which didn't follow the usual urban legend about werewolves.

Terra found it difficult to fit into the pack under her unbearable alpha father so even though wolves take comfort in company, she decides it's better to go it alone. She becomes disconnected from her wolf in the human world in the hope of finding inner piece. Years later her dad wants her back and gives her an ultimatum, give me a grandson or train yours sisters son. Neither option is fair but it's him or her. She sets out to track her nephew down and gets more than she could ever wish for.

Loved this book 5 out of 5. It does leave the book ready for the next instalment however gives enough to quench ones thirst.

184 pages. Free on kindle and the other books in the series are available on Kindle Unlimited.

Sequel to the hourglass which I would recommend you read first. Both are available on kindle unlimited.

Force of Temptation

Force of Temptation (The Mercury Pack #2)

Suzanne Wright  

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Suzanne Wright is my favourite shifter romance writer and I love her books. I would definitely recommend her books. The stories can be read as standalone novels but I would recommend you read them all in order (not just this series) as you will get so much more out of them.

This is her latest book due out on the 13th December 2016.

Force of temptation is the second book in the Mercury pack series. Jesse has wanted to own Harley for many years. He's a possessive alpha who is happy to wait for what he wants but that doesn't mean he doesn't keep an eye on her.

Harley has turned her back on the shifter community. She lives amongst humans and hasn't settled in one place for too long. Unfortunately anti shifter extremists have put her in immediate danger. Jesse offers to protect her and she agrees to stay with the Mercury pack. Jesse is determined to claim her for himself and although Harley is reluctant she's willing to give him a chance.

5 out of 5. The shifter romance books by Suzanne Wright are free for kindle unlimited readers.

This book is intended for adults audiences 16 plus (uk).

Cursing Fate (The Fated #2)

Cursing Fate (The Fated #2) 

Brenda Drake  

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ❣

I would recommend you read the first book in the series first which I'm afraid I did not. The first book I think sets up the characters and storyline. This book can be read as a standalone and it does catch you up on the events of the first book however it gives you key information about the plot of the first book therefore soiling it.

Iris family have potential for magical gifts. In the first book her older sister can change people's fate. She changes Iris fate and the guy, Wade who she is supposed to be with ends up resenting her instead. This book is about trying to repair the damage but a curse gets in the way and Iris has to overcome conflicting information.

Iris broke Wades heart. They were best friends but when it came down to it she chose to overlook their friendship and betray his trust.

Their love is now unspoken but is clearly still visible. Can Wade forgive Iris enough to at least rekindle their friendship? And can the curse on Iris be lifted?

3.5 stars out of 5. Like I said I would recommend you start with the first book as I think that could reflect on how much you like this book.

*Netgalley review book*

Paperback £16.99 or £5.44 kindle, 220 pages

Book one: Touching Fate £1.80 kindle price.

Synopsis;
Aster Layne believes in physics, not psychics. A tarot card reading on the Ocean City Boardwalk should have been a ridiculous, just-for-fun thing. It wasn’t. Aster discovers she has a very unscientific gift—with a simple touch of the cards, she can change a person’s fate.

Reese Van Buren is cursed. Like the kind of old-school, centuries-old curse that runs in royal families. Every firstborn son is doomed to die on his eighteenth birthday—and Reese’s is coming up fast. Bummer. He tries to distract himself from his inevitable death…only to find the one person who can save him.

Aster doesn’t know that the hot Dutch guy she’s just met needs her help–or that he’s about to die.

But worst of all…she doesn’t know that her new gift comes with dark, dark consequences that can harm everyone she loves.

 

 

Rex

Rex (Dakota Kekoa #2) 

Rita Stradling

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

The sequel to Henchgirl which I loved and this book didn't disappoint. I would definitely recommend reading book one before this one. Both books are free for kindle unlimited readers.

Dokota is back and after telling the Rex she needs space she finds herself thinking about him more and more. She is still invested in the family business and a job that sounds fairly straightforward turns out to go disastrously wrong. She is left with no choice but to ask for the Rex's help. He's a controlling alpha who wants Dakota more than anything and their time apart hasn't changed anything.

This book has fantasy, a small amount of romance and a strong female lead who isn't afraid to get the job done. I would recommend it for the teens and above market. It's a clean read which is about solving a crime. There's dragons, magic and so much more.

5 stars out of 5.

Alison Hendricks

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

I cannot get enough of Alison Hendricks books. They are all gay sport romance novel which I'm a fan of. This is the fourth one I've read and I think they are all worth the full 5 stars. Plus they are free for kindle unlimited readers.

Garret is new to the maverick team but coach has high hopes for him right from the start and he doesn't mind sharing his opinion with the whole team.

Diego wants to knock Garret down a peg or two right from the start. At first glance feels Garret has the perfect life but as hard as he tries he struggles to rattle him.

They couldn't be more opposite but to give the team a chance they are going to have to pull it together. They may realise that they need each other for more than sport.

Denise Jaden

Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ +

If you are looking for a gift for a young teen that likes to read Denise Jayden's books are highly recommended. I don't even meet this criteria and I love her books. This is the second I've read and her writing style draws you in. Get ready for a lack of sleep because I just couldn't put it down.

I'm a huge fan of disaster romance stories, my usual are books based on being stranded on a desert island. This one is set in the snow setting however still ticks all the right boxes for me.

Ellis is a girl that lives in the shadows and she wants to use spring break as a chance to break out of her shell. With some persuasion she volunteers to help out at a ski resort thinking it is the perfect opportunity to meet new people, her best friend won't be with her and she wants to try and be her own person.

Dylan's family have left him home alone for spring break and he decides to find his own source of entertainment. He too decides to volunteer at the ski resort and uses the opportunity to try and get close to Ellis.

Both are a little socially awkward and don't hit it off straight away but time together may just show them how good they can be for each other.

This book has romance, personal growth and obviously an avalanche.
The characters are well developed and diverse. The story keeps you wanting more right to the end.

5+ stars out of 5.
