Lili St. Germain - Two Roads (Gypsy Brothers #6)

The sixth book in the Gypsy Brothers series.

Juliette and Jase may be out of Dornan's immediate reach, but as tensions rise, will they end up walking right into the enemy's trap?

Can Juliette forgive Jase for his devastating betrayal, or will it destroy everything they've been fighting for?













{5 stars}


**ARC provided for honest review

We are so close to the end of this series, only one more story. And as much as I want to reach the end, I am afraid of what that will entail. Lili St. Germain has a way of story telling that draws you in, then flips you upside down. All those happy, dreamy, romance thoughts you had, GONE. What we get is two broken souls desperately trying to save themselves while seeking revenge on the man who took everything away from them. Tragedy after tragedy makes this seem more like a horror movie, but we get glimpses of what it could be like for Jase and Juliette before we are punched in the face with another cliff hanger. I think out of the 6 books so far, this one was the hardest emotionally. Jase and Juliette really have to reflect and come to terms with their collective pasts, what has happened to both of them at Dornan's hands, and be honest with each other. No more secrets. I'm on the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next, how will this all end?

Crystal Spears - Shadowing Me (Breakneck #3)




Welcome back to the world of Breakneck where Pyro continues to mourn the loss of Lana, ZZ’s twins drive him crazy, and the whole MC prepares for the birth of Braxxon and Winter’s child. Things are quiet and calm… Or so it seems.

Shadow’s secrets are slowly being revealed, leaving him powerless to stop the resulting havoc. With Tatiana hot on his trail every time he turns around, the tables have turned, and now, she has become his Shadow.
As Winter and Braxxon begin a hostile takeover of the BDSM club owned by Shadow’s best friend, the unthinkable happens, and the result is the worst bloodshed in Breakneck history. The torture, violence, and death caused by the carnage will have the entire MC reeling from the loss.

When Shadow finally decides to stop denying his feelings for Tatiana, he discovers it may be too late. The Breakneck family loss is far too great for Tatiana to think about her own feelings for the one man who has constantly resisted her.

Causing further drama for the Breakneck crew, the Russians step back into the picture. Whether they are friend or foe remains to be seen. And when Winter gets an unexpected visitor, it throws Tatiana in a fit of rage and rebellion.

Welcome back to the real world of Breakneck… where bloodshed and mayhem are to be expected.

*************** {5 stars} ***************

This series just keeps getting better and better. This time around we get intimate details into Shadow's world. What makes him truly "tick". So many surprises are in this story, and I refuse to give any spoilers away except to say WOW. Tatiana is on top of her game, she seems so much more mature this time around, going after what she really wants. Totally blown away by all that happens in this one, the action doesn't stop for one second. And even though we get some of the "things" we were soooo waiting for, there are some head spinning surprises that have still left me a little stunned. Crystal Spears has outdone herself with this one! Love Love Love it! Can't wait for the next one.

~Excerpt~


"What are your tastes today, my friend?"

Hmm… "Rose has me yearning for a pale, redhead."

Alec looks around. "Right over there." He nods his head to the left. "Haven’t had her, but I hear good things."

My eyes follow his line of sight until they reach the woman he is referring to. She’ll do. Although her skin is pale, her red hair is definitely not natural. After I finish looking over her body, my eyes go to her left wrist and I smirk. Lovely little, fake redhead, I’m coming for you.

I don’t bother with unnecessary goodbyes as I stalk my way over to her. I need to let some of this frustration loose, and as soon as possible. My demons claw at my chest cavity, begging for release. Her eyes roam my body and, stopping at the leather on my wrist, she nods in acceptance and puts her cigarette out. I don’t wait for her. I don’t have to. She’ll follow. I stroll through the club with confident movements that would make most spectators weak in the knees. I’m a man on a mission.

As I get to my room and dig out my key, the fake redhead comes up behind me. No words are necessary as she waits for me to unlock the door. I nudge it open with my foot, using my hand to gesture her inside first. I am not a complete asshole. I still have some manners.

Once the door is shut and locked, I shrug out of my leather cut and walk over to the closet. I have no patience for clutter. Thankfully, I’ve learned to separate my club from my extra-curricular activities because, let’s face it, some of my brothers are fucking disgusting. After hanging up my cut, I head towards the dresser.

"What shall I call you?" My hands slide along the cold, polished surface. I don’t bother looking at her yet. I’m studying her to see if she is looking for an emotional connection with her scene mate.

"Sunny, Sir."

Good. So far, we are on the same page, but I don’t like to be called Sir. "You’ll address me as Tavis."

"Tavis." She repeats it slowly, making sure she gets it correct.

"Yes, Sunny. Tavis, not Travis." My fingers continue to slowly caress the wood. "Drop your skirt and kick it over."

The sound of her zipper sings in my ears and the demons inside me rustle about. I fling my shades off and dig the contact case out of my pocket. With my back to her, I pinch the blue lenses out of my eyes, and as I place them in their container, her leather skirt lands on the toe of one of my boots. I want her frightened, and what better way to accomplish that than showing her my soulless eyes. "Now, your corset."

"Yes, Tavis." She murmurs.

Her breathing picks up as I unbuckle my pants and toe off my boots and socks.

~Author Bio~


Crystal Spears has always had a passion for literature. She fell in love with reading at an early age. After spending a decade in business management, she began blogging and book reviewing, only to find that that didn't satisfy her craving. So, she began to write. Like any Indie out there, she had goals and dreams. She wrote Talania - a trip down memory lane, a beautiful, contemporary romance novel. It almost made it to the top, just almost. Someone told Crystal to write what she knew. She gave serious thought to that advice.



For many years, her father had been CEO of a well-known gun and surplus store in Texas. He then bought a tattoo shop where Crystal found herself surrounded by bikers. Hardcore bikers. The Bestselling Breakneck Series was born when Crystal decided to write what she knows. Don't get the wrong idea.



Her Breakneck series is completely fictional, but based on things seen and heard, she now had a place to start writing from that knowledge. Seize Me was hardcore, and Crystal became the writer known as the chick with no boundaries. She took the critics the wrong way and made her next bestseller Withstanding Me a little tamer. Readers were quick to point out that they did not like that and demanded that Crystal return to gritty writing. When asked if she would write gritty from now on, her only answer was... "I'll write what my readers want me to write, and I'll also write what I feel."



Crystal resides in Indiana with her husband and their two children. They have a pit named Dozer, two fish, and one fancy rat. They enjoy the outdoors, and camp, fish, and go boating as much as possible.

Tiffany Reisz & Megan Hart - Captivated (Cosmo Red Hot Reads from Harlequin)



Double the passion and seduction as New York Times bestselling author Megan Hart and international bestselling author Tiffany Reisz weave two provocative tales about power, bad-boy lovers and secret desires!


LETTING GO by Megan Hart 
Colleen goes to the same bar every night and orders the same drink: a whiskey, neat. She doesn't drink it, though. Jesse the bartender notices the beautiful, sad woman who keeps to herself. Until one night when she lets go and lets him in. And after that, Jesse has only one mission to show her one night is only the beginning…


SEIZE THE NIGHT by Tiffany Reisz
Five years ago, a night of forbidden passion between Remi and Julien, the heirs of two powerful and competitive horse-racing families, led to a feud that is threatening to ruin both farms. Now Remi must find Julien again but when she does, her need for Julien is just as strong and just as forbidden…

{5 stars}

***ARC provided by publisher via Netgalley for honest review

I have never read Megan Hart before, so my sole reason for reading this book was the always amazing Tiffany Reisz. But sometimes you have to get thru the opening act to see the star you follow like a stalker.

3 stars for Letting Go by Megan Hart. It's a slow starter and I didn't really get attached to Colleen, she was a bit of a confusing character. Even she didn't know herself well enough to know what she wanted. But Jesse, he was a great character. Funny, charming and confident in what he wanted to make him super sexy. Not a landslide for me, but a nice story.

5 stars for Seize the Night by Tiffany Reisz. In my world Mistress Reisz can do no wrong. This is one of her typical funny, sexy, entertaining stories that has you falling right into it. Remi and Julien are like a Romeo and Juliet who are from feuding families. Add in Remi's assistant Merrick for comic relief and you have yourself one wonderful story! First love (sorta), hot sex, some intrigue and the court jester.....a great read for a Sunday afternoon!

Bella Jewel - Melancholy (Joker's Wrath MC #2)

"There's never been a time I've cared about anything more than my club. Today that all changed. Today I got you."

To truly understand a story; you need to start from the beginning, but to start from the beginning; you have to go back, further than just you. After all, our stories don’t start with us, do they? Our stories start with the person before us, and the person before them. We are created from the stories of those people - from their mistakes, from their achievements, from their love and their hate.

No one’s story is ever truly their own.

I tried to create my own story, my own path, and my own actions. I’ve seen things people only see in their worst nightmares, but I never let it beat me down. I never let it become who I was. I picked myself up, and I kept going. Everything was what it was.

There was no point analyzing what it could be.

Could be’s didn’t matter.

Until Maddox came into the picture. He saved my life. He changed my world; giving me the second chance some of us only dream about. There was only one thing missing in my second chance, and she was the reason I fought so hard to survive.

My sister.

My sister who is supposed to be dead, well, at least, that’s what I thought.

That’s what he told me.

Now is where my story changes, but to understand this story, you have to start at the beginning…where it all began…and before.

This story is the second book in a series. You can get the first book on all major retailers. (Precarious - Jokers' Wrath MC Book 1)

This contains no cliffhanger and has a HEA. 18+



{5 stars}

I liked the first book, but I LOVE this book. Maddox and Santana are a much more emotionally driven couple. You fall right into their story and become the ghost in the room watching the best and worst things happen to them. We get to find out the what, where, and who that is Santana, and the path her life took to get to Maddox finding her. The back and forth, push and pull, of the two are like magnets fighting whats is in their nature. They are meant for each other, they just resist it as much as they can. Maddox's brother returns and adds a little more mystery to the story, his storyline is yet unknown, but promises to be very dramatic if the epilogue is anything to go by. This series is turning out to be another favorite shelf biker series, can't wait to get to the next one!!

*And I don't agree that there is no cliffhanger If a story leaves me with questions and having a fit that I don't have the next book in hand already, then it has a cliffhanger!!

Nalini Singh - Rock Addiction (A Rock Kiss #1)


A bad boy wrapped in a sexy, muscled, grown-up package might be worth a little risk…

Molly Webster has always followed the rules. After an ugly scandal tore apart her childhood and made her the focus of the media’s harsh spotlight, she vowed to live an ordinary life. No fame. No impropriety. No pain. Then she meets Zachary Fox, a tattooed bad boy rocker with a voice like whiskey and sin, and a touch that could become an addiction.

A one-night stand with the hottest rock star on the planet, that’s all it was meant to be…

Fox promises scorching heat and dangerous pleasure, coaxing Molly to extend their one-night stand into a one-month fling. After that, he’ll be gone forever, his life never again intersecting with her own. Sex and sin and sensual indulgence, all with an expiration date. No ties, no regrets. Too late, Molly realizes it isn’t only her body that’s become addicted to Fox, but her heart…



RELEASE DATE: September 9th, 2014






{4 stars}

I am a huge fan of Nalini Singh's series Guild Hunter, so when I was offered a chance to advance read her new series, I jumped at it, even though Rock Romance isn't usually at the top of my reading addiction. It's a strong storyline, Rock God meets librarian and fall head over heels, but their combined childhood baggage pulled the story into the slow lane for most of the book. There just wasn't anything that made the story stand out or "special" in any way. Though Fox and Molly really know how to burn up the sheets....and the counter....and the sofa....and just about anywhere he can find. The band is great, brothers by choice, and they all have individual quirky personalities. But there didn't seem to be anything extraordinary about them or the story, nothing that hooked me in emotionally, and just made it an ok 3 star book. But I didn't give up and at the 80% mark the story took off for me and I changed my mind to the 4 star. We got a little bit of some drama that pulled Molly and Fox together into a stronger couple and gained my emotional attention. I really like Fox and Molly, they are an interesting mix, and the guys in the band promise to make this series a very interesting journey.

Aurora Rose Reynolds - Assumption (Underground Kings #1)

as·sump·tion:

A thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof

They say when you assume that you make an ass out of you and me. Kenton Mayson learned this lesson firsthand when he made assumptions about Autumn Freeman and the kind of woman she is based on what little information he had.

What he finds out is she’s not only beautiful, but also smart, funny, a fighter, and exactly the kind of woman he wants to share his life with. Autumn made assumptions of her own about Kenton, and now he needs to prove her wrong in order to protect her and their future.




{5 stars}

We met Kenton in the Until series, we didn't get to know him well, but we met him. And he may not be one of the 4 Mayson brothers, but he is still a Mayson and all that that implies. A Hot Alpha male who knows how to get what he wants when he finally decides what he wants. 

Autumn witnesses something she barely escaped with her life from. So off she goes to hide out with Kenton. They both assume something about the other that puts distance between them for awhile. They are barely roommates, but as time goes on, Kenton realizes he has made a mistake. He finally sees who she really is, but it may be too late. He has hurt her feelings over and over by assuming she is just another "dumb" stripper. Something he doesn't want in his life. But once he realizes his mistake, he goes all out to win her. Autumn is a dynamic character, strong when she needs to stand up for herself, but breaks into that vulnerable woman when she is alone. So much has happened to her in her life and she has secrets that she can't seem to let go of. They are a great couple together, a balance for each other. I cheered for her, cried with her, laughed with her, and totally fell head over heels for Kenton too. I'm not going to give any spoilers away, and believe me that's hard, because there are so many scenes I would love to rave about. But I"ll behave and let you discover their love story for yourself. If you loved the Until series, you will love this one just as much.
