Priest by Sierra Simone

Priest by Sierra Simone

I don't even know where to start this review. I finished this book two books ago, and I still need a cold shower.

This book is HOT!!! I have never had a naughty fantasy about a Priest, but DAMN Father Bell will give you some naughty ideas. 

Tyler Bell (Father Bell) is a Priest, he heard the calling after his sister committed suicide because the family's Priest abused her. He loves his job, his faith and his congregation. However, his life drastically changed the day she slide into his confessional booth. Poppy Danforth has Tyler questioning everything he has worked for. He has been celibate for 3 yrs, and the minute she speaks to Father Bell, she has him questioning his faith. God is testing him, and he has no idea what to do. Poppy is either his salvation or damnation.

This is the first book I have read my Sierra Simone, and hot damn am I a fan. This book has a permanent spot on my kindle. I will be re-reading this book again. There is something hot about a Priest with a Dominate Kinky past (Yes who know those three things could go together) and make a great book. 

By the end of the book, you are so engrossed into the story, you will literally cry when it ends. Guilty right here! I cried at the end. This book also had every other emotion go through me. I can not describe it, but Sierra Simone was able to get that from me. She has gained a life long fan and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Father Bell almost.... Almost took Jai Stone out as my book boyfriend, but alas Jai still does it for me. It will be interesting to see who can upset Jai.

Broken (Broken #1) by Skyla Madi

Broken (Broken #1) by Skyla Madi

And commence drooling.......NOW! Sweet mother of all thing holy, Jai Stone is the reining king of my book boyfriends, even Dominic couldn't hold up to this man.

This is the first book I have read by Skyla Madi, and yep you guessed it. I am hooked. Broken follows Emily Sheppard a nursing student and Jai Stone an underground MMA fighter, a rookie cop, and someone who is willing to sacrifice everything for his family. Or as I like to call him a BAMF and my new book boyfriend. For those who don't know what a BAMF is, it's a Bad Ass Mother-F*cker, and he is well beyond that title.

The story starts with Emily on a train headed for home. Its late at night, and she is just ready to get home and to be done studying on her tablet. As with any college student, money is always tight, even more so for Emily as she was orphaned man years earlier. So what happens when a dark and mysterious stranger bumps into her causing the tablet to fall and break? You go after them, I mean why not, right? This is a bad mistake. Emily is instantly thrown into the dark world of underground fighting, and she has no choice but to fight or die. Luckily the stranger who is the cause of her predicament, takes her under his wing, or just under him and helps her with the first round.

Jai is at the fights for a reason, to find his brother Joel. Nothing is going to get in his way, or so he thought. Emily has a way of keeping him grounded, and he will do everything possible to see that he gets her out of this situation. But can he keep his feelings in check?

Skyla Madi did an excellent job of writing on this book. It was a very quick read, and got right to the point. That is one thing that I love in finding new authors. She was able to keep me entertained from the moment I picked the book up till I finished it. 

I am really looking forward to reading more books in this series and getting more of Jai.

The Tornado by Missy Blue

The Tornado by Missy Blue

Jewel Mucciarone was a gifted ballet dancer. She is chasing the demons of her past, and it seems only one person can help her chase them away. His name is Asher “The Tornado” Prince.

One year ago, Jewel was on top of the world that is until it is all ripped away from her one ruthless weekend. Jewel has been just drifting along this past year. Jumping at shadows and just fading into the woodwork. That is until she starts going to a MMA gym and meets The Tornado himself. Asher is just as lost as Jewel is, living in the shadows of his past. He takes his anger and channels it into his fighting. But once Jewel is in the picture, he would give it all up just to see her smile.

Can these two lost souls find love and happiness?

This is the first book I have read by Missy Blue, and it also happens to be her debut book as well. I have never been so impressed with a debut book. Thankfully this did not end on a cliff hanger like the last book I reviewed.

Missy Blue’s writing reminds me a lot of E.K. Blair and her Fading Series. I see a lot of similarities between Jewel and Candace without the weird twists that E.K. puts in her books. Missy was able to capture the raw emotions of both Jewel and Asher. I felt as if I were living in their nightmares with them.

If you are anything like me, you will LOVE this book. I could NOT put it down. I look forward to reading more from this author, and I hope she continues to write these types of books as she really knows how to nail the psychological aspect of abuse.

FYI Asher almost….Almost pushed Deacon out on his butt, but his is still top dog………For now! Just wait till I introduce you to Jai Stone. He’s one to go down in the record books.

Love Hurts (Caged Love #1) by Mandi Beck

Love Hurts (Caged Love #1) by Mandi Beck

Wow! What a book! This is Mandi Becks debut book, and I am hooked. I love everything about it. The story, the characters and most of all, the book cover.

This story follows Deacon “The Hitman” Love, and his quest to make his best friend Frankie “Princess” De Rosa his. Deacon has loved Princess since the moment they meet, but he has only loved her from afar. Only when Frankie becomes engaged to a real tool does he tell her his true feelings. Frankie doesn’t take the news well as she was completely oblivious of his true feelings. Thus starts the downward spiral of their love story.

Emotions are high in this story, and a whole lot of testosterone mixed in with it. Deacon is the epitome a skilled MMA fighter alpha-male; he is whatever man wants to be, and what every woman wants in bed. Well everyone but Frankie. After a horrendous incident, can Frankie finally let her guard down and accept that Deacon isn’t just trying to get in her pants, that maybe just maybe he truly does love her?

This book brought out so many emotions for me. I laughed, cried and became angry with the characters. Most of the book is written in Deacon’s perspective and I believe the author truly captured Deacons tortured soul in her writing. It was very well written and a breath of fresh air to read a romance novel from a man’s perspective.

I will tell you that this book does end on a cliffhanger. I know, I know, I don’t like it either. The wait begins now for the second book to be released. It’s supposed to come out this summer, and I will defiantly be anxiously awaiting it. I have not read a whole lot of books with sports themes, but the few that I have, I have to say that the MMA oriented books always have the best alpha-males. If you like they guys who command their way into your life, then you NEED to read this book. Deacon will not disappoint.

And Mark, I’m sorry to say but you have been replaced. Deacon has stolen my heart from you. 

Better When It Hurts (Stripped #2) by Skye Warren

Better When It Hurts (Stripped #2) by Skye Warren

 

You know what, I'm not going to apologize for not posting sooner. The month of May has been hectic, with school ending, my bathroom exploding, and several birthdays thrown in there, I have been busy. 

So I am just going to get on with my review. Skye Warren was nice enough to provide and ARC for me for this book. It is expected to release June 4th. Better When It Hurts is the second book in the Stripped series and I think it can be read as a stand-alone. This book follows Lola/Amanda and Blue. Both Amanda and Blue were foster kids and had lived together and in love. One night Blue walks in to a very disturbing situation and Amanda points a finger accusing Blue of harming her. Blue doesnt get convicted of the crime, but has to join the Army.

Fast forward 5 years, and Amanda is now Lola, and a stripper and Blue is the head of security at the same place. Lola is convinced that Blue is only there for revenge. Or is it more then that, could he still be in love with her?

Skye has not disappointed again. I enjoy reading her books as she really gets into the characters minds and has them very well developed. It give me great please to read her writing. I can not wait for the next book. I would love to read more about Clara from the Prequel  and I have already read Honor's story in the first book, but I'm thinking Candy's story is next. One could hope....Right!

The Gentleman Mentor by Kendall Ryan

It has been exactly one month today since my last post, and I'm just going to come out and say it. I have been too busy reading to do any reviews. I know, I know what a crappy excuse, but quite honestly I just haven't been finding any books that are worth my time, OK wait that's not a good excuse either. I have read some pretty good books two great series, and a whole lot of random hot cowboys thrown in the mix. Thank you Scott Eastwood for giving me some hot ass visuals while reading away.

I don't know if I have told you all this before or not, but last year I was pretty proud of myself and read 115 books. This was a major feat for me as I have never broken 100 before. So I told myself that I was going to read at least 100 again this year. I am happy to announce that I have reached my goal.  The book I am about to review is again by one of my favorite authors, unfortunately it wasn't the book to reach my goal, but it has helped me exceed it.

So without further ado...... I present The Gentleman Mentor

 The Gentleman Mentor by Kendall Ryan

I am so happy and so crushed right now. This book was flipping amazing and made Christian Grey look like a putz. Cameron Hale is the new CG!

This book follows Brielle aka Brie and Dom, aka Hale, aka Cameron Hale. Brie is a down to earth girl looking to seduce her best friend Kirby. She is tired of falling for the wrong guys, and is desperate to do anything to attract him to her. Dom is a guy looking to train women in the art of seduction. One night Brie comes across an ad that Dom put out. She is intrigued immediately and contacts him. They meet and instantly the chemistry comes alive. Dom is an attractive man and Brie who is not a confidant woman is surprised by his occupation choice, but agrees to the terms of their relationship. The agreement is simple, 6 sessions with Dom, and don't let emotions get in the way. Dom is only there to show her how to become the confidant woman she wants to be.

Can Brie keep from falling in love Dom? He shows her how to become the seductress, and also teaches her that she is worth more than what she deserves. Can Dom let go of his past and love again?

Kendall Ryan is hands down one of my favorite authors. She has yet again amazed me with her writing. This book was a bit more risque from what she normally writes, but honestly I am a fan. The chemistry she created between Brie and Cameron is incredible and very believable. These two were made for each other. They are the new Christian and Anna, and I just have to say Christian Grey ain't got shit on Cameron Hale. 

So if you liked FSoG, give this book a chance, and from the sounds of it, it is the beginning of a new series as The Dominant is set to release on July 14th. I am super excited that the next book is coming soon and I can't wait to get to know Reese the owner of Crave better. Yes I do have it pre-ordered...Don't judge me!

Can't Walk Away by Molly McLain (River Bend #3)

Can't Walk Away by Molly McLain (River Bend #3)

I would say sorry Sabato, but I'm not going to because you have officially been replaced by Mark Dunn. The sexist Sheriff EVER, who also happened to be in the Army. And completely and utterly in love with Ally Barrett. These two have had an unofficial relationship for the better part of a year, and Ally is tired of be his side action. She wants, no needs more from Mark, and Mark, well Mark doesn't really know what he wants aside from Ally the red-haired freckle faced beauty who stole his heart long ago. 

 

This story starts somewhere in the middle of the second book Can't Get Enough, as you see a small spat between Mark and Ally in that book. This book picks up from the spat and Ally is sick of not mattering to Mark. His job comes first and foremost, but she just wants him to love her like she loves him. So what does she do? Probably one of the dumbest things she could ever do, make Mark jealous. It works alright, but not how she wanted it to. And because of it, consequences happen. Will there love be enough to get it together, or are they both to stubborn to communicate? Come on guys communication is key!

 

Molly had me swooning from Mark from the get go. Again, HELLO man in uniform! He could have been a rent-a-cop and it still would have been hot! OK, maybe that is an exaggeration, but non the less Mark is HOT. This is the book that kept me up all night. I could not stop reading about Ally and Mark. They are hands down my favorite couple so far. The love that Mark shows Ally after he gets his head out of his ass is what every women dreams of. I have a certain retired grunt who could take a few lessons from Mark. Sigh.... Oh well, I will continue to live vicariously through my books. 

 

If you have read my other posts about Molly McLain, then there is no need to rehash how much I love reading her books. I do have to say though Ms. Molly, that I better see Mark again, I'm already going through withdrawals from him. I'm hyperventilating infact. OK, not quite that bad, but I wouldnt be upset with just a little fix from him. PLEASE???

 

There is one more book in this series that has been published, and I have it loaded up on my kindle app now. It follows Dan and Maddie Hudson on their honeymoon. If you have read the first book then you would know that they got married in the first book, and I am chomping at the bit to see how freaky these two are going to get.

 

So hang on tight, this next book sounds like its going to naughty with a capital N.
