Unraveled (Undone #2.5) by Jennifer Dawson



ARC provided for honest review

Jennifer Dawson has done it again! 

I absolutely loved this book, and how all of the characters seemed real. I loved how Layla got Michael to take off the kid gloves and get angry with her. Or how Jullian finally said “Red”. But mostly I loved Ruby. Her character was by far the best in this novella. 

I am in awe of Ms. Dawson and how she truly captured Ruby’s emotions and her internal struggles. While I was hoping that this book would be more about Brandon, I was not disappointed in Ruby and Chad’s story. April 26th can hurry up so we can get the rest of their story in Debauched. I am desperate for the next installation in this series.

Way to go Jennifer, you are a storytelling mastermind!

For the First Time: Twenty-One Brand New Stories of First Love


A Dark Paradise!

Loved this book! I mean where else can you read books by some of the greatest Dark/Taboo Romance authors?

I have read just about every one of these authors featured in this book, and there are not enough words to describe how great they all are. I do have just one grip about this book. There were a few stories that you should have read the book before reading these stories. It wasn’t necessary to do so, but me and my book OCD tendencies needed to read them first.

I have to give mad props to Skye Warren, Sarah Castille, Alexa Riley, Cynthia Sax (who I haven’t had the pleasure of reading before), Lynda Chance, Cynthia Rayne (another newbie for me), CJ Roberts (Whoa talk about Taboo at its finest), Nikki Sloane (You totally have a new stalker fan), Pam Godwin, and of course Anna Zaires. All of their stories will keep you entertained, and then some.


My favorite story in this whole collection is Cynthia Sax’s Test Driving the Billionaire. I loved Drift… and I guess Cassie, but mostly Drift. The picture Ms. Sax portrays of him get my engine running. I mean Holy HOT boss! I definitely will be reading a lot more of her books, along with a few new authors from this series as well.

Call Me, Maybe by Ellie Cahill, Liz Czukas



ARC provided by NetGalley for honest review.

This book was great!!!! Until the end. I enjoyed the heck out of this book, but I was severely disappointed in the ending. I don’t quite know what I had expected for the end, but this ending seemed way to rushed. I would have liked it more had Clementine had to fight more for Justin. He just gave in to her I’m sorry’s way to easy.


While this book doesn’t say it’s going to be a series, an epilogue of some sort would have been preferred. I mean what happens to Justin and Clem after they get back together? So frustrating. However, should this book turn into a series, I will be one of the first people to preorder it. This would make a great series, and I hope the authors consider it.

Life's a Beach (Hawaii Heat #1) by Jamie K. Schmidt




ARC provided by NetGalley for honest review.

What a cute, fun, quick read this book was. I absolutely loved this book. Amelia and Dude (aka Samuel) are the perfect combination. The chemistry between them is instant, sizzling, and sure to make your panties melt. Dude is 100% alpha male who happens to have no qualms about falling in love with Amelia. His barbaric nature (some spankings are involved) is HOT!!!


I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a feel good, fall head over heels in love type of book. It will keep you entertained until the very end. Then you will start stalking the author to see what is in store for the next book in this series. Who will fall in love next, Marcus or Holt?

Starting Over by Barbie Bohrman



ARC provided by Netgalley for honest review. 

What a cute feel good story this was. Barbie Bohrman kept me entertained through the whole book, even when I wished I could reach in and choke Vanessa. 

She is a strong person, who had to get over the fear of getting her heart broken again, and Cameron Thomas is just the guy to do that. 

This book isn't part of a series, but I wish I would have read Alex and Julia's story first. Not that you have to, as this book is a stand alone, it's just my inner book OCD kicking in insisting I read it now. 

I look forward to reading more books from Barbie Bohrman. She is a very talented writer who will surely entertain you.

Layers (Layers # 1) by TL Alexander

Layers (Layers # 1) by TL Alexander

Book provided by Netgalley for honest review. 

Holy mother of God!  What an awesome book! And man am I glad that the next one is out so I can continue on with this awesome story. 

I absolutely loved Alexis and Jax. The chemistry these two have is off the charts HOT! I found myself giggling throughout the book with Alexia's inner dialogue, she is flippin hilarious.  Between her and Jules crazy stories, you will busy a gut laughing.

I can't wait for the next book. Thus ends my review. 

Ethan's Fall by Dee Palmer


Ethan's Fall by Dee Palmer

I honestly don't know how to rate this book. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't the greatest thing I have ever read either. It was just ok.

I enjoyed the premise of the book, but it got dry in the middle and then the ending seemed rushed. 

This was the first book I have read by Dee Palmer, and I liked how the main characters got along famously. I love how she portrayed Ada's character, the love, hurt and confusion all seemed life like. I believe she did a better job on Ada's character than Ethan's. He didn't seem as well thought out as Ada.

 All in all not a bad book by no means.
