Resentment By Nicole London







Title: Resentment
Author: Nicole London
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 Release Date: October 29, 2015



Blurb

Re•sent•ment (noun)

The act of hating – no, fucking loathing Dean Collins. (Yes, I’m well aware that’s not the actual definition, but it might as well be...)

It’s been ten years since we've seen each other and the feelings are still as strong.

I’m not going to bore you with all the details of how our love was once intoxicating, consuming, and perfect.

Because it was . . . until it wasn't.

I've been fine without him. I haven’t missed his cruelty, his coldness and his spite.

And after the ugliest breakup in the history of breakups, I forced myself to move on.


Year by year, the feelings I had for him slowly drifted away, but one encounter with him recently changed everything. One encounter made me realize how the heart doesn't forget shit, and how my mind is going to have to work overtime to make sure I never forget my definition of resentment.

MY REVIEW
This is the First time I am reading anything by this author. I quickly became a fan within the first chapter of this book. I have read a lot of books and normally if they don't pull me in right away im not a big fan. This book however pulled me in right from the start. I couldn't put it down.
What you get in this book is something very unique from other's.
Dean and Mia quickly fall in love as high school student's after they get to know the other. What they think is a love that will last and withstand anything is showed that it is no match for things that they hid away. Things that they aren't willing to talk about. Hearts are broken and the future is changed.
Fast forward 10 years and a lot of hate and resentment later they find themselves becoming roommates. Even with walls built around their hearts they still find a way to reconnect but with unanswered questions from the past their future is something that isn't guaranteed without facing what happened. Without telling truths one never meant to tell the other.
I cant say enough how much I enjoyed this book and this couple. This is going to be a book that I revisit as well as recommend to other people. The writing flows without to many bland spot's in it. The way the couple interact is very unique. This is one that once you start you wont put down until the last page and still be wanting more.

Excerpt

“Are you coming to the pep rally tonight?” he asks.

“Probably not.”

“Why?”

“School spirit isn’t really my thing. No offense, but…football isn’t either.”

He laughs, and I suddenly realize that the two of us have never talked about football during our sessions together. In fact, whenever I’ve brought it up, he’s changed the subject to something else.

“Well,” he says, letting my hand go. “You should come for me instead.”

“What? What do you mean?”

“I mean, since you’re not into school spirit or football, but you’re clearly into me, you can make an exception and come tonight.”

“You’re getting quite presumptuous lately.” I put on my best poker face. “Do I need to help you with that definition?”

“Not when I know the true word you’re looking for is cognizant.” He grins, stepping back. “I hope to see you tonight.”

“I’ll think about it.”

“I’m sure you always do.” He gives me a look so sexy that I almost melt into the floor.

Goddamn, Dean Collins…

Fractured Affection's By Elizabeth Wills










Title: Fractured Affections
Series: The Affections Series #1
Author: Elizabeth Wills
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 Release Date: October 22, 2015



Blurb

I'm finally living a life worth living. I have three handsome sons and a husband that would take on the world for me. All the trials I faced in the past seem like a distant memory. I overcame my depression from growing up in a broken home and moved past a shattered heart from my first love. It took time, but I made it through.

Three knocks on my door.

One surprise visit.

One person, who I thought was gone forever.


Nothing will be the same.






MY REVIEW
Lord I'm not even sure where to start with this book. I LOVED everything about this book. There wasn't anything I could complain about with this but the ending and the Cliffhanger like it was. Other than that I loved it. I loved how the cousin of one came back and is the love of the other's life. I love how you want to slap the two together and tell them to fix there crap. How they are fighting their feelings for each other. I love how unselfish one of the three is. This book hit me right in the face by the end of the book and the things that came to light. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it but dang if I didn't love the twist this story through me. I cant wait for the 2nd book to come out so I can find out what happens with these three people and the course their lives are about to take.
I would encourage anyone to give this book a try even if its not one that you think you would like because I can tell you by the end you will be begging for it not to end.

Blurb

Who says a wild heart can’t be tamed?

MY REVIEW
I cant say enough about how much this book pulled me in right from the first page. I couldn't put it down. This is a book that will leave you guessing all the way through the last page. I will admit that I wasn't to sure on this book when I read the blurb. I didn't think I would like it as much as her other work. But lord was I wrong. I think I liked this book just as much if NOT more than her other work and that is saying something. Don't let it fool you because I can promise you that you will love this book.
What you have is a Music superstar and a "cowboy" that is taking some time off work as a undercover officer. They meet in a way that is difficult for both and tempers flare words are spoken and before you know it one is trying to leave. But once the find out who the other truly is things change. Along the way they find themselves falling for the other, but questioning what it really can be. When a tragic accident happens one of them is forced to go beyond a limit that may cost one or both of them their life's.
I didn't want this book to end. With that said I have to give my rating and it's hard for me to give any one book a 5 star rating but this book and this author deserve nothing more than that.

TRAILER




PLAYLIST




EXCERPT

Blake was a little ways ahead, but stopped and turned around. “You okay back there, princess?”

I waved him on. “Don’t worry about me!” I shouted. Picking up my pace, I reached down and grabbed a handful of snow. Each step he took, I did double to catch up to him. My fingers were numb from the snow, but I was almost there. Just a few more steps . . .

Blake sidestepped and tackled me out of nowhere, making me scream. His feet slipped and we both fell to the ground, laughing as we rolled around in the snow. He ended up pinning me to the ground, his legs straddling my waist and his body flush with mine. I shivered and it wasn’t because of the snow.

“You should know better than to sneak up on someone like me,” he said. His eyes strayed to my lips.

“I didn’t think you’d hear me,” I whispered breathlessly.

“You’d be surprised what I notice, princess.” He trailed a finger down my cheek to my rapidly beating heart. “Like how your heart is racing right now. I didn’t know I had that effect on you.” I blew out a nervous breath and he smiled, his lips getting closer to mine. “Tell me what you want,” he murmured.

“I can’t.”

“Why?”

“Because once I say the words, I can’t take them back.”

He brought his hands to my face, his thumbs tracing my cheeks. “Maybe this will help.” His lips closed over mine and I melted against him, willingly giving in. I’d never been kissed like that and I didn’t want it to stop. I wanted more. He pushed his tongue inside and I moaned as the heat rose between my legs. Holy hell, I wanted him. Rocking my hips up into him, I dug my nails in his back and he growled, pulling away.

“Fuck, Hadley.”

“What’s wrong?” I asked, breathing hard.

He brushed the hair off my face and kissed me again. “You make me want things I can’t have.”

I nodded. He said exactly what I was thinking. “I know how you feel.”

Game On By Katie McCoy














Title: Game On
Author: Katie McCoy
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 Release Date: October 21, 2015



Blurb

Rule of reporting 101-- don't bang your subject.

Sophie Hall has just gotten the opportunity of a lifetime--to profile Nathan Ryder, the hottest baseball player since A-Rod, for her first solo assignment as a reporter. Rumor has it Nathan is going to be drafted to the Major league, and yet he still fits an intense training regime around volunteering at a animal shelter. He's a prodigy with a heart of gold, as American as apple pie and has an ass that deserves a trophy all its own. He may be the country's heartthrob, but Sophie isn't going to fall for that. She just has to remain objective and cover the story.

But she didn't bet on Nathan's gorgeous green eyes or the way his arms flex with muscle when he's holding a bat. And she certainly didn't think he'd be witty and smart and caring. Nathan is completely untouchable, but she can't help it if those lingering gazes turn into something more. How could she not fall at the thought of the hottest guy she's ever met devoting his limited free time to saving puppies?


When Sophie's scoop turns into Nathan's scandal, Nathan needs her more than ever. With both of their careers on the line will they strike out - or hit a home run?

MY REVIEW
This is the first time that I have read any work by this author. And I have quickly became a fan.
I am a big sports fan so books that involve sports I'm a little more critical of. If they have a lot of things that are accurate than that's a big points deduction for me. But with this book I found that this wasn't focused on the sports aspect as you would think. Yes it was there in the background and what this story is centered on but its not front in center. I really like how you have a person that you would think is the typical jock bad boy but what you get is a sweet down to earth fun loving guy. You also get a reporter that is assigned to find out the dirt on said jock but is met with less than a warm welcome. When she does finally get the chance to get to know him she finds herself falling for a man that she never knew he could be. But when the pressure of getting the story is placed on her and she finds herself unable to do what is being asked someone else take's over and goes right after the juicy story. How these two handle things is something that most people wouldn't handle. I found myself falling for this book with each word that I read. I can tell you that I will go back and revisit this story from time to time. If you want a quick fun read than this is the story for you.

Title: The Rocker Who Betrays Me
Series: The Rocker #11
Author: Terri Anne Browning
Genre: Contemporary Romance
 Release Date: October 20, 2015



Blurb

USA TODAY Bestselling Author Terri Anne Browning's The Rocker Series

Annabelle

I’ve always loved Zander Brockman in some shape or form. The boy who lived next door for the first seventeen years of my life has been my best friend, my confidant, my first crush, and my first love. I trusted him with my life and my heart. When he smiled at me I knew everything was going to be okay…

Until it wasn’t.

Zander

I haven’t seen that girl in seventeen years, and I’ve missed her every damn day. I knew I wasn’t good enough for her, so the night before I left with my bandbrothers for California, I stole a night with her. I lived off those memories. There hasn’t been a day that has gone by that I haven’t wanted to talk to her just one more time, but I knew she deserved a better man than me. Now, after seeing her again, I realize that I didn’t care if she should have a better man. My feelings were still as strong as they have ever been for her. I wanted to be with her…

But she hated the very sight of me.
 

***Contains Mature Content***
MY REVIEW
It is no secret that I have LOVED all of the rocker books. But my favorite has always been Axton (Book 7) with Shane (Book 4) coming in a close 2nd. BUT with Terri's newest addition to her Rocker Series I must say I think I may now have a favorite. This book torn my heart out shattered my soul and built me right back up to fall in love all over again. This is one of the most heartbreaking devastating beautiful stories that I have read in the rocker genre. The heartbreak that you go through during this story is something that you will never see coming. I have read many times over the whole Rocker Series and with this book it basically took this book in a whole new direction and back to the beginning of where it all started. Someplace that if you have read the other books have wondered about. Questions were answered.
 Hearts were Shattered and people were betrayed. How can you put souls back together after they've been burned to the ground by the one that you thought would always be your forever? I cant say enough about this book and how much I loved it.

Excerpt

As I listened, I couldn’t fight back the tears that suddenly threatened to choke me. From the first note that left Axton Cage’s mouth, I knew that there was no way OtherWorld wouldn’t go far with this guy front and center for them. He wasn’t just good; the man had a fucking gift. And it broke my heart into a million pieces. One look at OtherWorld performing with Axton singing their songs and any manager with a working brain would sign them on the spot.

Swallowing hard, I glanced at Noah. The look on his face was a mixture of amazement and gut-wrenching pain. He knew as well as I did—as well as everyone in the room—that not only was Axton going to fit with the band, but that this guy was better than even he had ever hoped to be. The pain in my heart at the knowledge that I was even closer to losing Zander than I had been just thirty minutes ago, doubled at the pain my beloved brother was going through right then.

The Aerosmith song faded easily into the Skynyrd song, “Free Bird,” and even though Axton’s vocal range changed, it only showed just how talented he really was. I lowered my gaze to the floor, hiding the tears that were so close to spilling over. I wanted so hard to hate Axton, wanted it with every fiber of my being, but I couldn’t. None of the pain I was feeling was his fault. He’d just shown up to a freaking audition, unknowingly ripping my heart from my chest with that amazing voice of his, and shattered it into a million little pieces.

I couldn’t hate him. Not when he was going to help the man I loved succeed in his goals.

Skynyrd drifted seamlessly into Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” with Wroth’s talented fingers. Glancing at Zander, watching him keep beat with the bass, seeing how much he loved being a part of this music world, I lost the battle. One tear escaped from my eyes and was quickly followed by a hundred more. I stood, keeping my face averted from everyone as I went into the bedroom and shut the door quietly behind me.

I quickly tore off my clothes as I entered the bathroom. Turning on the shower, I climbed in before the water even had time to warm. My knees gave out and I slid down in the corner of the tub, letting the cold water beat down on me as the first sob tore my heart loose from my chest. Pulling my knees up to my chest, I hid my face in my raised thighs and cried for the loss of the man who wasn’t even gone yet.
