Katy Evans - Rogue (Real #4)

The fourth story in the new adult series that began with the New York Times bestseller Real, featuring Brooke's best friend, Melanie, and the ROGUE she can't resist.

Greyson King...
My boyfriend. My friend. My protector. He's the reason I wake up every morning with a smile on my face, and the reason I fall asleep limp, worn out, and aching for his warm arms around me. When we make love, he says my name like it means something. Like I mean something.
He
Lied.
His name is Greyson King, but his alias is Zero.
There's zero trace of him, he has zero past, and now I know that with him, I will have zero future.
He may leave no trace of him anywhere, but his imprint is in me, in my very soul--and I hate that a mere look at him commands the beat of my heart. The temperature of my body.
I've looked for love my entire life. I've waited for the butterflies, the rainbows...
Instead I'm in a free fall of emotions and there's no one to catch me but the one man I should be running away from. The one man I thought was my prince charming.
Except this prince charming went rogue.
Greyson will stop at nothing to make me be with him. He'll let no one stand in our way, will allow no one to threaten me, and maybe this is what scares me most of all...
What will my rogue do to keep me?


{4 stars}

I wasn't expecting to love this story. It isn't about Remy and Brooke, who are the basis for this series. So I delayed reading it. Let's just say I read it all in one day. Greyson is the Alpha character we all love, damaged and broken. We already know Melanie from the previous books, and I wasn't certain I would love a whole book about her. But Greyson and Melanie are great together. There is enough of an "edge" to the story to keep it interesting, and Melanie and Greyson scorch up the sheets as much as Remy and Brooke did.  A great addition to the Real series.

Penelope Douglas - Rival (Fall Away #2)

From the New Adult sensation and New York Times bestselling author of Until You

Madoc and Fallon. Two estranged teenagers playing games that push the boundaries between love and war…

She’s back.

For the two years she’s been away at boarding school, there was no word from her. Back when we lived in the same house, she used to cut me down during the day and then leave her door open for me at night.

I was stupid then, but now I’m ready to beat her at her own game…

I’m back.

Two years and I can tell he still wants me, even if he acts like he’s better than me.

But I won’t be scared away. Or pushed down. I’ll call his bluff and fight back. That’s what he wants, right? As long as I keep my guard up, he’ll never know how much he affects me….

{4 stars}

This story was on my highly anticipated list, because I love Penelope Douglas, and Bully is one of my all time favorite reads. It still stays in the back of my mind all these months later. But this was not as emotionally impactful as the first book. Where Jared and Tate were an emotional battle, Madoc and Fallon are physical. Maybe because they were privileged, and never really "wanted" for anything (but each other). I just didn't "feel" anything for them as a couple, Madoc has always been the funny sidekick that you never took seriously. I just didn't feel the impact with this one. Liked it, didn't love it, looking forward to Jax's story.

Chloe Neill - Blood Games (Chicagoland Vampires #10)

While Merit didn’t choose to become a vampire or Sentinel of Cadogan House, she vowed to fight for her House and its Master, and she’s managed to forge strong alliances with powerful supernaturals across Chicago. But even though Merit has had wild adventures, this may be her deadliest yet...

A killer is stalking Chicago, preying on humans and leaving his victims with magical souvenirs. The CPD hasn’t been able to track the assailant, and as the body count rises, the city is running out of options. Vampires and humans aren’t on great terms, but murder makes for strange bedfellows. Can Merit find the killer before she becomes a target?






{4 stars}

The synopsis does nothing for this book. The story isn't really even about the new killer stalking Chicago. It's about the end game for Ethan and the GP. It's all been coming down to this final event to see how the GP will respond. How will all of this play out? Ethan issued his challenge in the last book, and now we wait for Darius to respond. But there are a few GP surprises that get in the way. Another GP mystery is on the fringes getting in the way before we can proceed with Ethan's challenge, and as if Merit and the gang didn't have enough to do, they have to deal with a killer on the loose. Honestly, this is a "bridge" story, it gets us from the status quo of GP life to a whole new era in vampire politics. Not my favorite of this series, but definitely a stepping stone to get us to what I think will be the most exciting era yet.

Crystal Spears - Resenting Me (Breakneck #1.5)

One look at the beautiful Hawaiian flower dancing on stage at his buddy’s strip club and Pyro’s world changes. He’s lost, captivated, head over heels. He tries to stay away, resist her charms, but he just can’t find the strength to do it. Instead, he hires Hazel and Winter as entertainment for the Breakneck President’s thirtieth birthday party, unknowingly putting the girls’ lives in danger.

Hazel convinces Winter to take the Breakneck gig so that she can get closer to Pyro. Playing the temptress to the max, Hazel appears on stage wearing white angel wings, and little else, drawing Pyro in to where she wants him. Needless to say, they both get very little sleep that night.

One night together making love until the sun comes up and these two are in too deep. But this is the Breakneck world, and sunrise brings gunfire and bloodshed. Time brings Winter’s abduction and brutal rape. Hazel’s guilt burrows deep, and she pushes everyone away. She is resenting herself for convincing Winter to enter this Breakneck world. She is resenting Pyro for ensnaring her heart.

This is the story of Pyro and Lana. It is simply the story of how, sometimes, love just isn't enough.

***Spoiler Alert: It is recommended that you read Seize Me before you read Resenting Me. Resenting Me is entwined with Seize Me and contains many, many spoilers.

{5 stars}
Head the warning, if you haven't read Seize Me first, don't read this yet. For those of us that have already read book 1 & 2, we already know how this all plays out. So what we get in this novella, is Pyro and Lana's POV. And it was great, even knowing how it all ends I'm glad I read it (and I still cried).

Callie Hart-Twisted (Blood and Roses #5)

Sloane

How many times can a person fall down and still get back up? How many times can things go wrong before you just give up?

I’ve lost everything. My home, my job, my purpose in life—everything has been turned upside down. But while life hasn’t exactly turned out the way I would have liked it to, I wouldn’t change a thing. If things were different, I wouldn’t have Lacey. I wouldn’t have Michael.

But most importantly, I wouldn’t have him.

I’ve realized what I feel. He knew it before I did. Only one question remains:

Is he capable of feeling the same way?

Zeth

Secrets are a prison, and I have been behind bars for years. Sloane Romera has been turning keys in all of my locks, throwing light on corners of my mind that I thought would forever be shrouded in darkness. Or at least I had hoped would be.

I have done so many wrongs in this life, and yet this woman has forgiven me. She’s done something I never thought possible—she has learned to understand me, and she hasn’t run. She’s amazed me. She’s saved me. She’s fallen in love with me.

If it’s within my power, I’m about to do the same for her.


{5 stars}
Oh Zeth....

This series just keeps getting better and better. It is definitely not a hearts and flowers kind of story. Zeth has lots of baggage, drama, life-and-death situations, some OCD qualities, and a few "friends" that are just a little scary at times. But some of his friends are so loyal they would take a bullet for him, so that says alot about the kind of man he really is. He didn't grow up in any normal kind of way, so his way is all he knows. And Sloane just might topple the carefully constructed life he has going. Book by book the walls he has built around himself start crumbling. Sloane is taking a hammer to it all, and she isn't going to give up until she gets what she wants.....HIM. She has literally given up her whole life at this point to be with him, to be "in love" with him. So here we are, on pins and needles waiting to see how Zeth will react. What will he do when he realizes she is in love with him? Does he love her? Those are just a few questions we have been waiting for answers to. Add into that Lacey, does he know she is his sister? Everything seems to be on some kind of collision course, and I'm anxious and in a hurry to find out how their ending will play out. A lot of questions get answered in this one, but in true Callie Hart fashion, she has left us on the edge waiting for what happens next. And if you are already a fanatic of this series, like me, I don't have to update you on all the ongoing Charlie drama. He is still trying to get to Zeth, and the backlash from the compound is coming back around to cause more complications. But that is just what makes it all thrilling, it's not why we read this series. We read it for Zeth and Sloane. And let's face it, Zeth is one HOT character that we all spend time drooling over. Callie Hart writes the most amazing scenes between Sloan and Zeth, which keeps us coming back book after book. Can't wait to see how she is going to wrap this all up!!
