Lorraine Loveit – Grand Final – The Last Game (Playing the Game #6)

51BlwVHBg+L._SX312_BO1,204,203,200_

AVAILABLE FOR PRE ORDER

As the series comes to an end, will Suzie end up with Brendon?  The entire novel leaves the reader on pins and needles, waiting the for the other shoe to drop.  Will Brendon return to his abusive former self?  I couldn’t put the book down until I had the answer.

With all the admirers that Suzie has procured, with whom will she end up in the end?

I love how this book separates itself from other BDSM novels.  Most other books have completely romanticized the concept of BDSM, which isn’t to say that the books are bad.  This series breaks from those predictable story lines.

1. This series shows that things aren’t always perfect in a BDSM relationship.  Doms, like Brenden, can be inexperienced.  He really had no clue how to be a good Dom.  In previous books, he never put the needs of his sub first.

2.  BDSM isn’t for everyone.  Jason states, in the beginning of this book, that Suzie isn’t a submissive even though he wishes she should would be his.  Suzie tried to be a good submissive but it just wasn’t in her nature.

3.  Even if you try the lifestyle, you can always stop and still have a kinky fun sex life.  There’s a whole lot of room for creativity between BDSM and boring vanilla missionary.  This is the crux of the heat and steam in Grand Final.

The racy scenes left me needing a cold shower.  Unfortunately, unlike Suzie’s numerous showers, Brendon did not join me.  Damn those book boyfriends!

This is a Must Read Series.  See Related Posts:

Jaci Burton – Changing the Game (Play by Play #2)

2d43e0e8320b4df2155158810a090f6f

In honor of the World Series, this is my suggested read for the week.

Check Out this cover!  Guess what … the writing inside is even hotter.

Liz is a successful sports agent and Gavin is one of her clients.  She’s been in love with him for years.  He is a professional baseball player that has true love and devotion for the game.

Gavin and Liz burn up the sheets (shower and other surfaces) together.  But mixing business with pleasure is complicated.  Throw in some deep emotions and the situation gets more complex.  Liz has close ties to Gavin’s family, which makes the entanglement even more convoluted.

This book is a grand slam hot romance!

P J Haynie – Losing You

51CwBQt8SQL._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_

I believe that there is always a book out there to read no matter your mood.  If you get into a fight with someone you love, this is a great book to read.  It’s literally a quick reminder (only 24 pages) about forgiveness.  It’s done in a modern, believable, and most importantly a romantic way.

I’m not a huge fan of short stories and novellas, but this is one I know that I’ll read again in the future.

Maya Banks – Sweet Temptation (Sweet #4)

f11f92c90887a7596601324253cf339f

Re-reading books is my new guilty pleasure.  This book was too tempting not to read again.

Micah is a generally a walled off man that doesn’t care to share a lot of personal details about his past.  Angelina, the little sister of his deceased best friend, returns from his past.  She’s a sexy Latina with a determination to seduce the man of her dreams.  Micah tries to fight his overwhelming lustful attraction for her, but he cannot resist.  His domination of Angelina’s body is scorching hot!  You’ll need a glass of cold water nearby to help cool you off.

Add a little suspense to the mix and the culmination is one hell of a book.

This series is absolutely flipping amazing.  New to the sex club scene?  Read these books!  Sex, action, and romance, this series has it all.  (A little menagerie, too)  I cannot say that I have a favorite in the series, because they are all great.  I suggest reading them in order, because the characters develop throughout the series.

Emma Chase – Sustained (Legal Briefs #2)

8b2729fe54f27c588fa4849ede6415d1

Emma Chase is a master at writing about arrogant men that you can’t help but fall in love with!

This book is hilarious!  I found myself laughing out loud while I was reading in public.  I got a few stares.  Instead of feeling embarrassed, I thought to myself – you really need to pick up a copy of this book.

One of my favorite parts that I can share without spoiling too much:

Rosaleen, the little girl, feels sorry that she just vomited in the kitchen.

Jake’s responds, “It’s okay, Rosaleen – it’s just puke.  It’s not a big deal.”  The dog then starts to eat the puke.  “See? . . . You did me a favor – now I won’t have to feed the dog.”

I most adore the tender moments.  When Jake admits while he is kissing Chelsea that if nothing more occurred, he could be happy.

With 6 kids (or cockblockers as Jake refers to them) in the house, Chelsea and Jake need to get a little creative.  The scenes are hot, fun, and desperately passionate.

All in all, HOT, FUN, & SINCERE.  Did I mention HOT?

Katy Evans – Manwhore

a91879f6749ffc15a3dd84fb0b42dc3b

“He’s the sort of guy who’d never be in any woman’s friend zone or brother zone.  He’s the sort of guy you fantasize about having for a lover . . .”  Saint is the kind of guy that makes for fantastic romance novels.

Would a man with a reputation for being a womanizer and that can afford anything his heart desires ever be interested in a single woman of moderate means?  I love that this story is told from Rachel’s perspective’s exclusively.  As the reader, we are just as much in the dark as she is as to how Saint behaves when she isn’t around.

Will he hurt Rachel just as her friend was dumped by Paul?  I found Rachel’s friend incessant reminding of her own personal drama absolutely annoying in a very real kind of way.  Everyone knows at least one person that can only see things from their own perspective and unsuitably try to project those same feelings or circumstances into other people’s business.

BEWARE:  Ends with a cliffhanger!  I immediately ordered the next 2 books.

Meredith Wild – Hard Limit (Hacker Series #4)

1a4a58778b8789c86cd1eb336f54b8fa

The story of Blake and Erica continues to be hot, sexy, and full of surprises.  As Blake and Erica have fallen in love, the heat and passion between them becomes limitless.

Blake shows a more caring side in this book, which makes him even more attractive.

Despite having enjoyed the first three novels in this series, I was a bit hesitant to read this book.  Other novels that revolve around to two lovers and reach the 4th novel in the series seem to fizzle.  That is not the case at all in the Hacker Series.  As I discussed in an earlier post, Meredith Wild has constructed a beautiful web of characters that constantly keeps the story fresh and interesting.

REVIEW

A Sexy, Sinful, and Sizzling Suspense.  I couldn’t stop turning the pages even though this isn’t the genre that I prefer to read.  This book reads like an action/suspense film or show.  In fact, this story is perfect to be translated into video medium.

The story moves along very quickly.  Time and time again I found my jaw dropping and thinking to myself, “Holy shit, I didn’t see that coming.”

The character backgrounds were well-developed and intriguing.  The author parses out the tidbits of information in a compelling way that entices the reader to turn the pages.

It’s difficult to go into details without spoiling this story, which would be a crime.

Lily Cahill – Exposed (Independence Falls Superhero Romance Book 2)

51z3-0MG43L._SX311_BO1,204,203,200_

This story takes during the 1950’s when many Americans were highly suspicious of Russians living in the U.S.  The disdain to which Ivan’s family has endured has scared him and turned him into a hard and bitter man.  At first, his gruff nature was very off-putting.  Despite this, some continue to offer him kindness that he fails to see.  It isn’t until June starts chipping away at his attitude does he find a way to smile.

Ivan is attracted to June. “Why was she so embedded inside of him? This woman with whom he’d shared a handful of heated words.  Maybe because she hadn’t balked.  She hadn’t backed away from his hard glare.  There was determination in her face, courage in her eyes.”

June is not without her own personal challenges.  She must break away from her ever pleasing attitude and not constantly succumb to other’s expectations.

Like many other romances, misunderstandings tear the lovers apart.  But what was unique here was the deeply rooted understanding between them that wills them together.

The “superhero” aspect in this book becomes a more prominent piece of the story.  Sorry but I’m not going to spoil the story line and give away too much.

I do love the romantic use of Ivan’s ability to make flowers grow.  He wants to bring flowers to June, but not just any ordinary flower.  He puts a lot of thought into what would be a perfect flower choice.  “June’s flower wasn’t anything he’d find in a greenhouse, or a florist’s shop, or even in a meadow.  June was singular, and she could only be contained in the bloom of his power.”

A man willing to put that much thought into a gift for a woman is the epitome of romance!

Samantha Young – Hero

hero-2-copy-2

“That wasn’t the fairy tale, but it was real.”

This isn’t a flowery romance.  It’s a story with a complicated past that leads to intense feelings.  Deep hatred that straddles a thin line to deep passion.

The blessed yin to the happily ever after in a romance book is the gut-wrenching yang.  Samantha Young nailed it,

“I hated that hope.  I hated that it made me feel so weak and broken by him.  Like without that hope, I’d never, ever quite be the same again.”

On a side note, I highly suggest reading Samantha Young’s other series, On Dublin Street.  The series and characters are addictive.  See some related posts:
