Losing Me by Ivy Love (The Finders Series #0.5)


I had the pleasure of reading this book before it has been released, and I can tell you all that it was absolutely fan-freakin'-tastic! Ivy's book reminds me a lot of a James Patterson novel, you know, where each chapter is in someone else's perspective. This drives me crazy when I read, but in a good way. It keeps me interested in the book, and keeps me from putting the book down. I just HAVE to know what happens to MY favorite character and therefore, I was instantly hooked on the two main characters; Izzy and Liz. While I enjoyed Liz's story, I found Izzy to be MY character. I could not put this book down. I had to know what was going to happen with her. Of course since this is just a prequel, I never found out, but that is A okay with me because I know that I will be one-clicking the day that second book comes out.
 
Since this book hasn't been released yet, I am not going to give you my teaser of it as I believe you should buy this book. And if you are like me, and you love to find new and upcoming authors, then you definitely need to buy it when it comes out.
 
Now I am just going to have to wait until Ivy's next book comes out, and you can guarantee that I will continue to stalk her at Ivy Love. But a little birdie told me that the wait won't be too long. 

So Congratulations Ivy! Your book is AMAZING! And now know that you have a avid fan!

Let me introduce to you to.....

Ivy Love
 
This is not a review... This is me telling ya'll to buy this book and read it on March 27th. 

Ivy is branching out on her own with this debut novella, and I am convinced is will be AWESOME! I first met Ivy during the good ole days of BFBS, and I was quite nervous to be apart of the group. Sure I am a member of another street team, but for some reason I was nervous about BFBS. It was a much smaller team, but Ivy made me feel welcome, and apart of the team immediately. Ivy is so awesome, she has even pimped out my blog a time or two (which I am very grateful for Ivy). 

Just today I was trolling Ivy's Facebook page at work (Yeah I totally stalk you Ivy, but you are one of a dozen or so friends I stalk when I get a free moment) when I saw her cover for the book, and I thought to myself, you know what Ivy ROCKS and everyone should know about her book coming out.

So here it is ladies and gentlemen!


Does this not sound amazing!!!
 


I don't know about ya'll but it sounds like Ryker is in for a wild ride. I can hardly contain myself. I don't know about ya'll but I want to know what happens in this scene. Don't ya'll?

So please, PLEASE give Ms. Ivy Love a chance! I know I am and I cant wait to see what the future brings for this very talented young author.

I love ya Ivy! And I know you WILL totally ROCK this! You got this!

Just a side note:
GO BUY THE BOOK!!!!!! NOW!!!!!

Hendrix by Chelsea Camaron & M.J. Fields (Caldwell Brothers #1)

 
After I read Eroe I got pretty bummed out thinking that I wouldn't be reading any more Steel books. Then this book came to my attention. I had never read anything from Chelsea Camaron, but the fact that M.J. co-wrote it I thought what the hey I'll give it a try. Wowzaas the Caldwell Brothers are a whole new force to reckon with. 
 
Hendrix is the first book in the series, and it is goooood. The book starts off on a somber note (no I'm not telling you why), and with that Hendrix finds himself at a masquerade charity event. At the charity event, he finds himself in a situation that is mutually beneficial. Little does he know that hes masked partner is about to become his employee. I'm sure your imagination can run from there, and yes that is all you get (inset maniacal laughing).
 
I found this book to be very entertaining. Both authors did a great job with the writing which I think would be a challenge in its self. I don't think I would like to share my blog with my husband. This is my outlet and I would think Authors are the same way with their writing. However they do it, Chelsea and M.J make a great team. I am looking forward to read about Hendrix's brothers Morrison and Jagger "Jag" (I love all of their names as well. I mean who wouldn't love having a rock god for a name). The next book slated to release is Morrison, when it's coming out, who knows, but rest assured I will own it on release day.   

Eroe by M.J. Fields (Ties of Steel #3)


M.J., M.J., M.J. How do you do it!!! I really didnt think I would fall for Sabato, but ya did it again. Eroe is the prequel to Sabato: The Cross that will be released April 5th (insert happy dance). This book gives you more insite to Sabato. If you have read the other 2 books (Abe and Dominic) then you are aware of how distrusting Sabato is. This gives a great reflection as to why he is the way he is. 

As you all know I am a HUGE fan of M.J. Fields. I have read all of the Men of Steel books, and working on the Ties of Steel. I will be honest if this series ever stops I will cry. I mean it M.J. LITERALLY cry. 

Now its waiting time, a mere 18 more days. And yes, I will have Sabato the day it comes out. But that is OK, I will continue to dream about this hunk until I have him in my hands.

 

Something Real by Lexi Ryan (Reckless & Real #2)

I told myself I wasn't going to blog about final books in a series, but I just couldn't help myself with this book.


Yes this is the third book in the Reckless and Real series. The whole series follows Elizabeth "Liz" Thompson and Sam Bradshaw. I of course loved this book, because hello, they finally go together (yes thats all I'm giving about it). 
 
Out of all of Lexi Ryan's books that are set in New Hope, these were the ones that kept me on edge the most. Sam is... you know what, there are no words to describe Sam. All I know is I want me some of that. Minus the baggage of course.
 
As always Lexi Ryan didn't disappoint me. I have read all of her books from New Hope and a few others and I love reading her books. 
 
Now to wait for the release of Nix and Max's story... It's going to be epic! 

The Dark Duet Series by C.J. Roberts

Since it has been awhile since I have reviewed any books, I thought I would try something different with my review. This will keep me from posting three different time.

Captive in the Dark is the second book in the Sinister Desires collection, and the first book in the Dark Duet Series. This is the first time I have read C.J. Roberts and I can say I am thrill to have found this truly gifted author. I was very impressed with this book and look forward to reading more from this author. 
This book follows Olivia (Livvie) who hasn't had the best upbringing. Her mother is, for a lack of a better term, a whore, and her dad is just gone. Livvie tries to be what her mom wants, but its just now enough. One day Livvie misses the school bus and runs into a beautiful man. Little does she know, that he will soon become her captor.
Caleb was sold as a Pleasure Slave when he was younger. However he got away and now will do nothing to help Rafiq get vengeance for the murder of his wife and sister. Caleb has an opportunity to pay Rafiq back. All he has to do is kidnap an American girl and turn her into a Pleasure Slave. 
Thus begins Livvie and Caleb's story. Can Caleb complete this mission? 

I throughly enjoyed this book, and could not wait to read the second book in the series. 
 
Reading the second book was not nearly as thrilling as the first book. I was let down as it was truly difficult for me to get through (I know that says a lot if I have problems). Needless to say I am glad that I stuck with it, because it was worth it in the end. I was glad to see that Livvie got some what of a happy ending.  
 
I was a little skeptical going into the third book as Seduced in the Dark wrapped up the series in a nice little bow. Boy was I wrong, Epilogue was the big red bow this series needed.
 
 This book takes place from the moment James enters Livvie's life. This is book is wrote in James' POV. I love how the author captured James. The man he wants to be for Livvie, and what he will endure to have her. 

I was quite sad when I finished Epilogue as I didn't want Livvie's story to end. She had been through so much. She is quite literally an inspiration. How does one go through all the trials and tribulations that she did, and still come out OK? I'm not going to give any clues away, but lets just say that yes I did cry at the end of this book. I cried for Livvie, Caleb and for James. Ya'll know me, I don't cry during books (only a select few have shaken me up enough to tear up).
 
Ya'll also know that I am not one to re-read books, unless its Kiss the Girls by James Patterson, favorite book EVER. But this series is definately going to be on my list of re-reads. 

C.J. Roberts has gained a new fan, and I can't wait to dig into more of her work.

Beneath the Burn by Pam Godwin

 
WOW!!! I MEAN WOW!!! Pam Godwin delivers another great book. I ready for her twisted mind this time, and now I'm addicted to her. I love reading her books, you just never know what is going to come next. She really likes to keep you on your toes. 
 
Beneath the burn follows Charlee who has been on the run for quite some time from her captor Roy. Charlee lives in fear that one day Roy will find her. He has already destroyed her, and he plans on finishing the job. Charlee finds herself in St. Louis and has meet Noah, Charlee owns her own tattoo shop "Kilroy tattoo" and is somewhat happy. Noah wants to marry her, but she of course won't marry him. Enter Jay, the lead singer of The Burn. Jay has demons of his own, and is mesmorized by Charlee the moment he sees her. 
 
Drugs, Sex, Rock n Roll, and a whole lot more make up this astounding book. Pam Godwin is a shear genius and really captivates the readers. It's a lot like crack, once you have it, you HAVE to have more. 
 
Beneath the Burn is also part of a new collection that I have found titled:
 
 
This collection has started out with a bang. While I have only heard of Pam Godwin and C.J Roberts, I am excited to find new authors in the Dark Romance genre. 
 
Let the addiction continue!
