Kylie Scott – Deep (Stage Dive #4)

April 28, 2015 lizellyn Books Erotic, Hot Rock Star Hero

Incredible book in an incredible series. I’m not just saying that because the main character’s name is Liz. She is perfectly imperfect. Yes, she falls for the bad boy rock star, befriends him, beds him, but is strong enough to walk away when she’s tolerated enough. Ben struggles with commitment. He has many yo-yo moments of pulling Liz in close then pushing her away. He can say the most perfect thing. “Sweetheart, you’ve been important since day one. Only girl I kept coming back to. Didn’t matter how far I ran, I couldn’t get you off my mind. Never been this way about another woman.” As beautiful are his words, it’s not enough. Actions can outweigh words.

As an aside, in a female bonding circle, Liz brags to the other women about the erotic benefits of Ben’s beard. To beard or not to beard? I can’t really weigh in on this because of lack of experience. I’ve never even kissed a man with a goatee or beard. However, it does beg the question, what is the hottest amount of facial hair? None, 5 o’clock shadow, 1-2 day, Goatee, Full Beard. Purely from a visually appealing opinion, I’ld have to pick a 1-2 day growth. (just an opinion)

Christina Lauren – Beautiful Secret (Beautiful Bastard #4)

April 27, 2015April 28, 2015 lizellyn Books Erotic, Rich Racy & Romantic Romeos

Praise to the art of taking things slow. Sometimes it almost seems like a lost art, but this book is packed from start to finish. The awkward humor is refreshing and keeps you laughing. Although I did get caught laughing a bit too loud while reading in a public place. Oops. Niall is a the kind of man that you can get behind and cheer for. It is like rooting for the underdog at a sporting event. Niall struggles with his confidence and identity but continues to try his best at making a go at a relationship with Ruby. This is a fantastic series – don’t miss out.

Tiffany Reisz – The Virgin (The Original Sinners)

April 23, 2015 lizellyn Books BDSM, Erotic, Spicy Stories to Savor

The original sinners are the most compelling characters! They are beyond any realm of typical, but what is overwhelmingly brilliant is their commitment to each other on multiple levels. Their enduring love for each other is accentuated in this story, which covers a one-year time period where Nora, Soren, and Kingsley are separated from one another and then return to each other. Their ability to forgive one another is profoundly moving. As you find out through the story, sometimes it takes time to recognize all aspects of oneself and learn to appreciate all sides of those you love. In addition, I would be remiss if I didn’t include some of my favorite quotes (that don’t contain spoilers):

“Ignorance is a poor excuse for bliss.”

“She survived the end of the world and found at the end a new beginning. And if she’d survived the end of the world, surely she could survive anything now.”

Did you think I forgot about the sex? Hell No! It is a Tiffany Reisz book – it is always sinfully delicious. Nora takes the virginity of a novice nun in a convent. Kingsley chains his lover to a bed for an entire week. And, Soren makes Eleanor forget her safe word and then pushes her to the point to where there is nothing she can do but safe word out.

Colleen Hoover – Confess

April 20, 2015 lizellyn Books More Sweet than Sensual

Confess has an amazing intertwined set of characters in an heart wrenching novel. Both and Owen and Auburn refer to holding their fist tightly above their heart signifying how devastatingly they can miss someone and how much it hurts their heart. Well, this book not only makes your heart hurt, but makes you feel completely gutted. I was crying before I finished the Prologue. The silver lining is that the greater the pain in a romance book, the more rewarding the happily ever after.

True to form, Colleen Hoover makes the story very unique and unpredictable. I absolutely love how the artist takes written anonymous confessions and turns them into art. Very cool concept! I don’t want to spoil the book but you have to read it to see how this concept weaves itself into the plot.

Lauren Dane – The Best Kind of Trouble (Hurley Boys #1)

April 19, 2015 lizellyn Books Erotic, Hot Rock Star Hero

Wild rock-star heat with a real relationship to beat. There’s no denying that Paddy is incredibly sexy and passionate. He insists on perfection in the music that he creates. He takes charge in the studio to ensure it even it means occasionally brawling with his brothers. He is also dominant when Natalie and he are going at it. Natalie is a proper librarian and bit of a control freak by day but a dirty salacious girl in private. This balance culminates in hot passion between the two. But their strong personalities and stubbornness make it difficult to iron out real issues in their relationship. Paddy feels an entitlement to Natalie’s trust because he worked hard to gain it. Natalie struggles with a difficult past that makes her extra sensitive. This results in a clash between the two. Trust is truly the crux of all relationships and Natalie sums it up very poetically:

“if I can’t trust you, this isn’t worth the energy.”

“I can’t be honest if I can’t trust you not to be mad when I tell you how I’m feeling.”

This is a great start to a new Lauren Dane series. The Hurley Boys follows after Lauren Dane’s Delicious Series, which followed after the Brown Family series. FYI, you don’t have to start out with the Brown Family series and read in order, but the books are phenomenal and are a must read.

Two great authors. Two hot stories. Love this Cosmo Red-Hot Read from Harlequin.

Letting Go by Megan Hart

This story is invigorating in the sense that it leaves the reader feeling the empowerment of Colleen. It is all about embracing your own sexuality, which is the best way to find fulfillment. Colleen finds herself realizing that it is okay to want and need and still be dominant all the same time. It’s a big message for such a short story.

Seize the Night by Tiffany Reisz

A story with the recipe for the hottest first time ever. Starts with a perfect kiss. Add four years to allow your mind to dream, anticipate, and envision. Sprinkle in a little explicit guidance. Finally, add the woman of your dreams and the ideal opportunity. What do you get? The ultimate way to lose your virginity. Besides, Julien and Remi’s amazing affaire, Merrick was an entertaining character. His explicit mouth and presence adds comedy and spice to the story.

Abbi Glines – When I’m Gone

April 13, 2015 lizellyn Books Rich Racy & Romantic Romeos

Unlike other Rosemary Beach novels, this book has more of a home-town feel but the characteristics that make the entire series great are ever present. In this book, Mase is the man! He is sexy, compassionate, sensitive, protective, and patient. He goes after Reese in a delicately commanding way. He is acutely aware of her unspoken concerns and is endlessly supportive. Finally, his awareness makes him incredible between the sheets. Despite her troubled past, Reese is strong, brave, and kind. I can’t help but mention Reese’s caring neighbor, Jimmy. I hope in a future book he gets his own story. Beware, the book ends in a major cliff hanger – be prepared to get the next in the series: When You’re Back. It is set to be released on June 20, 2015. At least the wait isn’t too long.

Abbi Glines has been kind enough to make available the Prologue & Chapter 1 for When I’m Gone on her site:

Alice Clayton – Wallbanger

April 13, 2015 lizellyn Books Spicy Stories to Savor

What to learn from this book? If you have a hot neighbor, knock on his door wearing only a lacy pink nighty. Maybe a pair of CFM heels would be good, too. This is a fun story between Simon and Caroline. I enjoyed how Simon oscillated between referring to Caroline as Nighty Girl and Cockblocker and she referred to him as Wallbanger. I thought it was comical how Caroline referred to loss of her “O.” Don’t worry, her affliction (losing her vowel) is not contagious via reading the book. The transition between being friends and becoming a couple was humorous, awkward, scintillating, endearing, and dramatic. It was everything it should be and was told in a marvelous manner. On a side note, Caroline’s passion for baking was a tasty addition to the story that I adored. Of course, my obsession with baking may make me a little biased in that area. Overall, I would recommend this book.

J.R. Ward – The Shadows (Black Dagger Brotherhood #13)

April 8, 2015April 9, 2015 lizellyn Books Pure Paranormal Passion

BDB at its best! It’s time to broaden your horizons in this book – vampires are not the only sexy as sin paranormal characters. Hello shadows! Trez and iAm have their day and they are just as uber masculine as their pale brothers. The dark duo show how far they will go to show their love and devotion. Even though Trez is terrified of heights, he takes his queen to the highest restaurant so she can enjoy the view and to an amusement park to ride a roller coaster over and over again. Equally as powerful, is the love between the two brothers and the extent that they will go to ensure the other’s happiness. Do not fret, the muscle-bound fighting giants all make their appearances, too. Once again, the BDB shows their strength not just with their fists but with their support for those within their family. J.R. Ward is certainly well known for her creative names. In The Shadows, I love her complimentary use of the terms queen and wife. It was very fitting for the balance between Trez and iAm. Finally, the female characters claim more power for themselves. Not that the females were weak in earlier novels (certainly not Xhex) but there is a distinguishable shift.
