Happy Release Day Jillian Dodd! Adore Me The Keatyn Chronicles Book 4.5


Keatyn has arrived!!  Woo Hoo! 

Rating:  5 out of 5 stars

How are the story lines? 
Amazing 

How are the sex scenes? 
saucy and spicy without the descriptive details
it's tame but heated

Would you read it again?
Absolutely! 

Ah-mazing.

Ro-mantical.

Swoon-erific.

Yep I made a few of those up. But this book deserves new and fantastical words to describe it. Best of the series so far and there's still 2 more books to go.

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of the author in a contest for the Keatyn Chronicles. As a team Captain, I had the honor of participating in a huge challenge all about this series. If you haven't even started it yet. Run... don't walk - to pick up book 1 Stalk Me. You'll be as hooked as I am. I can't get enough of Keatyn and her luscious Eastbrooke boys and her back home gang. They are all swoonworthy and have such great personalities. BUT - that being said. This series is also enjoyable beyond the abs to die for. The Hottie Hangovers are great, don't get me wrong. But Keatyn. She's something special as the female MC.

I have yet to fall in love with the female lead. Usually they are whiney, weak or broken in some capacity and want the "savior hero" to come fix them and their issues. Not Keatyn. She's independent, sweet, funny, kind, confident, vulnerable and adorable. She's got a fashion sense that will knock you off your Manolo Blahniks and a personality that will make you proud that you're part of the same sex group.

Please - if you read a new series, pick this one. I promise you won't regret it.

Adore Me is romantic, funny, sad and amazing all packaged into one. You'll run the gamut of emotions while reading this Novella. It helps answer some left over questions from Love Me and keeps you guessing what's next in Hate Me. It's the right mix of brain exercise in that it will make you question everything you ever thought about MoonBoy. Are you still sure you're confident in your choice? Or is there a possibility that it's another? Oh what a tangled web she weaves.

Read it. You must.

The Penance of Black Betty by Kelli Maine


Rating:  4.5 out of 5 stars 
Series Rating:  4.5 out of 5 stars 

How are the story lines?

story lines flow nicely

How are the sex scenes?
Hot and steamy with plenty of passion 

Would you read it again? 
yes 

Book Blurb: 

Alistair Ingram is finally the man he wants to be, with the woman he wants to be with. No longer ruled by his manager, producer, agent or fans’ desires, he and Bethany “Black Betty” Stavars have settled into his LA mansion and have started a life together. Everything is as it should be…until he gets the call that Bethany has been brutally attacked in their home.

Alistair can barely stand to see Bethany’s bruised and battered body, but that’s not the worst of her injuries. She regains consciousness thinking she’s still married to her ex-husband—the man responsible for putting her in the hospital in the first place—and has no recollection of being with Alistair.

Unable to coax her brain into giving her any memories of the past ten years of her life, Bethany struggles to comprehend how she could’ve ended up on the other side of the country—California instead of Florida—and living with superstar actor, Alistair Ingram. Even worse, how had she become a dominatrix at a Vegas men’s’ club?

Lucky for her, the past few months have been detailed in black and white newsprint in every gossip magazine she can get her hands on.

With their relationship hanging in the balance, there’s only one thing Alistair can do. Jog her memory the best way he knows how. In bed.


Review:  

Oh Alistair, how I remember you.  All of your pretty boy charm and your pretty boy good looks.  You haven't changed a bit.  

I loved where this book takes you.  You get to see a softer side of Black Betty aka Bethany and it's a refreshing turn to see her be her "normal" self.  It was hard to see them go through the agony of the memory loss but you really got a feel for how much Alistair loves Bethany and how much he wants to be her one and only.  I also enjoyed the fact that even through the memory loss, Bethany could still feel the connection she has with our Pretty Boy.  

I felt like this was a good easy read.  Had plenty of intrigue and plot to support it and I enjoyed seeing the changes in the relationship.  I recommend this one and look forward to seeing what Bethany does to become one person, the person she has always truly been.

Blog Tour/Enticing Journey Book Promotions: Keep Me Safe by Elaine Breson



"Thank you,” I whispered. “It means everything to me that you’re staying.” “There’s no place that I’d rather be. Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me what you did. That took a lot of courage.” I tilted my head to the side so I could barely see him. “Not really, courage would’ve been leaving him the first time he hit me. As stupid as it sounds, I thought I could change him if I just loved him enough.” He sat up quickly and looked down at me, causing me to roll onto my back. “Don’t say that. Any woman with enough guts to leave a man like that has a lot of courage as far as I’m concerned.” I smiled slightly and he kissed the top of my bare shoulder. “Thank you Parker…for everything. I know I told you I have a lot of issues to work through and now that you’ve seen some of them, you still haven’t run towards the door. That means more to me than you’ll ever know.”

Blog Tour: I love Indie Books - Michelle A Valentine Rock the Beat


Rating:  4.5 Stars out of 5

How is the story line?  
Amazingly different than the rest of the series 

How are the Love Scenes? 
Hot and steamy with a little sensuality

Would you read it again? 
Yes, most definitely


It's no secret that I love Noel.  

I've never been one to stop loving my Noel Falcon and professing all my love for Noel Falcon all over this Universe.  But I have to say that Michelle's characters get better with each book.  Noel is still amazing and if you haven't read the first book of this series, then what the f*ck are you waiting for? 

Riff was fantastic.  He was hot and alpha and all sexy and forbidden.  But Trip.  Trip is a great mix of naughty and romantic all wrapped into one.  He's got the smart ass remarks down.  He's got the romantic gestures in check.  He's got the mysterious vibe going on.  He's got the whole package.  

I loved Holly in this book.  She shows lots of strength and independence.  She has a good head on her shoulders and makes you like her from day one.  She's not the weak simple minded little tart that we repeatedly see in these books over and over until we wanna pull our hair out.  

The amazing thing that I loved about this book is that it wasn't just about a member of Black Falcon and all the concerts that we see and how the band is on tour.  Michelle takes us on a new journey with the band showing us that Trip has a human side and has other interests besides just being the number one drummer of a number one band.  

Run, don't walk to pick up this installment of the Black Falcon Series!

Teaser from the book: 

“I’m Trip Douglas. It looks like you and I will be getting cozy while you show me the ins and outs of this place.”I stare down at his hand. Ugh. This is so not happening to me. Our family business is going down the freaking toilet and I have to depend on the guy who thinks with his dick to pull us out of the hole? Maybe the investor can send someone else? Anyone else! No way is some rich, old dude relying solely on Trip’s judgments of the place to make a huge financial commitment? This guy can’t be trusted with something so important. This guy can’t stick with the same woman for five minutes, let alone see such a huge business deal through.Trip wiggles his fingers at me. “Come on. They won’t bite.”Dad needs this partnership to work for the sake of the track. He told me last week how important it was for this business to get it. If it doesn’t go through, we’re in big trouble.Reluctantly, I take his hand. It’s warm and rough against my own skin and it’s hard not to think about the way he felt pressed against me last night as he gives it a couple of quick shakes. “Holly Pearson.”
