MY REVIEW:
I have always loved Corinne's work. This is a brand new book with brand new people. So different from all her other work. I wasn't sure what to expect from it. What I got quickly blew me away while making me sob. I wanted nothing more than to yell at Corinne for not having this book with her in DC when I met her. I have always loved her other series. This one though took the TOP spot for me.
What started out with such heartbreak and tear's soon turned to a story of hope. I had tear's in my heart throughout the whole book while hoping that this strong women would be able to rebuild her life. The strength that came through is something that gives you hope. I was transported to this world. I felt the heartbreak, the love, the anger and everything inbetween. I devoured this book in a matter of hours. I could not put it down. If you want a book that will make you ugly cry while making you laugh this is the book for you. I loved loved loved it and cant tell you enough of good things about it. The book is different from all her other works that you will have to double check that it is from Corinne.
To Corinne: I LOVED your dedication in the book. I have said the same thing as you did! THANK you for that.

EXCERPT:
“Hey.” Zach peers at me as I shake off my thoughts. “I figured you’d be asleep.” He climbs the steps slowly as I get to my feet.
“I figured you’d be gone.”
I walk toward him, unsure of why he’s here. “I left for a bit, but wanted to come check on you.”
“Oh.”
He snickers. “I couldn’t sleep.”
“Me either.” He’s close enough that I can smell his cologne. Even after a long night, being in the woods, he smells like home.
I take another step.
Then another.
I’m so close I have to tilt my head to look into his eyes.
I breathe him in, feel his heat, and I can’t stop myself. I want him. I need him. I grip his neck and yank his mouth to mine. I kiss him. I kiss him and give in to everything I’ve been feeling. He doesn’t waste a second. His arms wrap around me, holding my body against his. My fingers grip his neck, keeping him exactly where I need him. This kiss is frantic, but God it feels good.

Hellraiser Review By Amo Jones










Title: Hellraiser
Series: The Devil’s Own #2
Author: Amo Jones
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: June 20, 2016



Blurb

Melissa
They say there are defining points in your life – moments where you f**ked it all up, moments that make you its bitch, moments that shape you into the person you are.
The day I met Braxton Ward was one of my moments.
My name’s Melissa Hart, and I don’t think you’re ready for this story.
 

Hella
I go by a few names: Hella, Brax, 112, or, depending on whether I’ve been balls deep in you or not, C*nt. I don’t push the boundaries because in order to do so, one must have them. I’ve never had them. Being homeless at the not-so-tender age of fifteen morphed me into an emotionless shell, and when The Army recruited me, that shell turned into steel.
They say if fire is hot enough, it can melt steel; the hate that burns between Melissa Hart and me just might be hot enough. Shit doesn’t come easy for us. Enemies are expanded, secrets are revealed, and lives will be taken. Yeah, I’m Braxton “Hella” Ward, and you bet your f*cking ass that you ain’t ready for this story.

My Review:
I found myself starting this book and walking away from this book. I wasn't sure what I was really getting. But I kept coming right back in diving head first into a trip of a lifetime. This book is so much more than just your normal everyday romance. It is a thrilling suspenseful book that will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what in the world just happened? I found myself entrapped within this world that your not sure you want to be in but for some odd reason you keep going to find out what happens. And even than it leaves you wanting more.
The spitefulness in this book in very real. The brotherhood is felt. The friendship is once in a lifetime. I started out thinking this book is going to take me one way but BAM different way all together.
Even though I didn't read the first book in the series I was able to follow along with this book.
This is a book you wont want to miss out on. So I ask the author how long are we going to have to wait for the next book?

Juked By M.E.Carter



Title: Juked
Author: M.E. Carter
Genre: Sports Romance
Release Date: June 16, 2016
Juked: verb. 
/jook-t/

A slang soccer term meaning: fake out, deceive, confuse your opponent

See examples Daniel Zavaro and Quincy Watson:

As the rising star in Houston, Daniel has found fame as Captain of his Pro soccer team and the city’s most eligible bachelor. Daniel has everything – except someone special – and that suits him just fine. He doesn’t want, or need, complications.

Quincy has baggage, and lots of it. After a tragic accident spins her world on its axis, she finds herself as a single mother, raising a newborn nephew she never knew she had. Between parenthood, her full-time job, and dealing with the suffocating grief of losing her sister, every day is a struggle. 

When they begin to cross paths unexpectedly and often, an unlikely friendship starts to evolve. Feelings change. Lines get crossed. What happens next surprises them both...

Before they know it-- they’ve been Juked.




“I really do recommend it if you're in the mood for a good, witty sport-romance with great characters, a great storyline and a baby! Did I mention that the baby is the cutest thing ever?<3” - Goodreads Review “4 out of 5 "I Might Just Start Watching Soccer" Blushes” - Goodreads Reviewer “4.5 stars!! Quincy, you inspire me. Daniel, you grew on me. Chance, you stole my heart. This book was beautiful, and EVERYONE should read it.” - Goodreads Review
 

I cant tell you enough about this book and everything i fell in love with. What started out as a tragic heartbreak soon turned into a love story that most of us dream about. They always say that the best relationships start out as friendships. I'm a true believer in that. This book is one of those books. With chemistry that jumps off the pages at you. While these two battle their feelings for each other. You get to witness the bond that forms between them. The pages smolder with sexiness that soon turns into a furor of a blaze. I'm a big fan of sports so I love when I get a sports romance book. I will admit I'm more critical of those than most other book's. This book once I started I couldn't put it down. I wanted to see if they would give into their fears or if they were willing to take a leap and put it all on the line.  Fall in love with this book because it is a HOT summer read.

“I hope you don’t mind,” she says, changing subjects and breaking the tension. “Before you called, I was going to catch up on Outlander. I’m several episodes behind.”
“Fine with me,” I say. “I’m used to those soft-porn shows.”
“Soft-porn shows?”
“You know… Outlander, Game of Thrones, True Blood. Soft porn.”
She scoffs at me. “We’re watching Starz, Daniel, not pay-per-view.”
I lean back and put my feet up on the coffee table. “Baby, the only difference between Starz and porn is that actual porn doesn’t have a plot or as big a budget.”
She rolls her eyes. “Whatever. Soft porn,” she grumbles under her breath. She picks up the popcorn and puts it on the couch between us.
I snap up a handful and toss some in my mouth as the review of the last episode plays and the credits roll.
Adult language. Adult situations. Brief nudity.
That’s what the parental ratings warn us of. It is so, so wrong.
The first thing that pops up on the screen is a woman on a bed and a man is with her. With his head between her legs for a very long time. And now there’s nipples, lots and lots of nipples. And his head is still between her legs.
“Still trying to convince yourself it’s not high-budget porn?” I joke, trying to break the sexual tension that has sprung up again.
“Oh my god, this is so awkward,” she replies, eyes still on the screen. Her ears turn bright red, which is apparently her version of a blush. She looks so uncomfortable. 
I sip my beer and munch popcorn, ignoring the woody in my pants from imagining that it’s Quincy and me on the screen. When all else fails, insert humor. “Man, he’s really going at it, isn’t he?”
“Would you shut up?” She laughs and smacks my arm. “This is weird enough without you making jokes.”
“Sorry. I’ll just sit here quietly while we watch the non-porn.” She rolls her eyes but smiles anyway.



“Mother, reader, storyteller - ME Carter never set out to write books. But when a friend practically forced a copy of Twilight into her hands, the love of the written word she had lost as a child was rekindled. With a story always rolling around in her head, it should come as no surprise that she finally started putting them on paper. She lives in Texas with her four children, Mary, Elizabeth, Carter and Bug, who sadly was born long after her pen name was created, and will probably need extensive therapy because of it.”

Beautiful By Ella Bordeaux


 
 
 
SYNOPSIS
Skylar Woods unknowingly drew Wyatt Smith toward her.  He wanted … needed to learn everything about her. Though he sensed her beauty was more than just skin deep, Wyatt struggled to understand the sadness she attempted to mask with an amazing smile.
 When Skylar’s eyes met Wyatt’s for the first time, her breath caught and she couldn’t look away from the new guy standing in the school office smiling at her. The connection only grew when Wyatt sat next to her in English class, allowing Skylar to dare to believe he might actually be interested in getting to know her.
 For the first time in months, she felt alive.
The moment Wyatt expressed an interest, the notes started again … the ones that reminded her of a past she could never move beyond—the event that changed her life forever and robbed her of any chance of happiness.
Never believing the rumors being spread around school about Skylar, Wyatt made sure he went out of his way to prove how much he cared about her.
But when the past resurfaces, will Wyatt stand by her side? Or will he turn against her like everyone else?

My Review:
This book I COULD NOT put down. I devoured it in a matter of hours.
This emotionally charged book will punch you in the gut leaving you wanting to beat the crap out of someone at the same time as falling in love. This book take's on a subject that more attention needs to be brought to. I was so emotional while reading this book that I had to take a step back from reading all together for a few days. Although this book left me wanting more. Infact I was saying "NOOOOOO you cant leave me like this" at the end of the book. This wonderfully written book will leave you breathless. It will take you for a ride of a lifetime. I cant wait for the next book to be out. I cant wait to jump back on this rollercoaster to finish out this story. So to Ella I ask that you PLEASE hurry up and give us the rest of this story.

And I still don't have the shoe closet Drake promised me when he moved in six months ago.

Everything I've ever known about Holly Woods might just be about to change.

DSC_9249By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies - usually wine - and writes books.
Emma is working on Top Secret projects she will share with her followers and fans at every available opportunity. Naturally, all Top Secret projects involve a dashingly hot guy who likes to forget to wear a shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot scenes, and a whole lotta love.
She likes to be busy - unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.
