Review: White

White by T.L. Smith
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

T.L. really keeps you reeling through out all her books. She keeps you glued to her pages and you just can't let go.

We all love Black and Rose because of the hardness they both hold but we all know they are soft for each other.

Now Jake and Addy are the same but soooooo different. Jake is a little softer than Black and Addy hasn't been through all of the havoc that Rose has BUT they all are broken in their own way. Although all situations are not the same they can be similar and equally as emotional.

I always look forward to reading TL's work because she will show you how deep things can get and how shallow people can be. Between the darkness and the loving sides you will be stuck finishing this book.

Thank you TL for allowing me to review yet another amazing book.

Title: His to Protect

Series: A Fireside Novel #2

Author: Stacey Lynn

Publisher: Loveswept

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 12, 2016

Blurb

A warm home for broken hearts, the Fireside Grill serves up hope and healing in equal measure. Stacey Lynn’s sensual, deeply emotional series heats up as a jaded restaurateur falls hard for a woman who’s hiding from a damaged past.

Declan James lost his last ounce of trust the day his wife walked out the door, leaving him to save the restaurant they built together. Throwing himself into his work, Declan swears off women—or at least, women who expect him to stick around in the morning. But when he discovers a skittish beauty scrounging through the Fireside’s trash to feed her dog, Declan offers her a job and a place to rest her head. There’s just something about her that awakens his protective side. And soon, not even that mangy mutt can stop Declan from caring for her.

After one too many trips to the ER, Trina Wilson finally gathered the courage to leave her husband, taking only her car and hyperactive boxer. Unfortunately, life on the run proves harder than she anticipated—until Declan takes a leap of faith on her. But even as Trina starts to see beyond his gruff exterior, she can’t relax, even for a moment. Not with her husband still tracking her down. What Trina doesn’t know is that in Declan, she has a powerful ally—and, if she would only follow her heart, a devoted lover.

PRAISE FOR HIS TO PROTECT

Author Bio

Stacey Lynn is a simple girl, raised most of her life in the MidWest. Perhaps it was the long, frigid winters that left her so bored she had nothing to do but spend time reading every book she could get her hands on from John Grisham and Danielle Steel to Ann M. Martin and CS Lewis. As an avid reader, she began penning poems and short stories long before she reached high school and her love of the written word has never diminished.

Now, as a wife and mother to four children, she finds solace from the craziness of her life by creating steamy, sexy stories that generally tug at your emotions. What began as a hobby and a way to survive a Minnesota winter three years ago and the dream of publishing her first book, has now turned into an unending passion.

Review: Cutter

Cutter by Ashley Suzanne
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Holy bananas.. This book was so awesome and why would it be any less when it's an Ashley Suzanne book.

Ok so lets get on with it huh? Cutter is a sexy man that thought he would never see the love of his life again. Josette moved on and so did he but he never gave up on the love he had for her. Their love was so strong, yet she decided that she would let him live his life without her.

Cutter being a kicka$$ MMA fighter with a hard past and Josette the sexy accountant that steels his heart. They can't be anything but perfect right? With their stubborn personalities, reading their banter was just so funny and entertaining. These two are so fun to read about with their love and teasing but they are so freakin frustrating too. This story had me almost in tears and laughing out loud. There are all the feels in this one just like the others. So don't fret Ashley wont leave ya hanging ;)

Ashley really does an awesome job of making Jo a strong female and Cutter strong also but yet they are stronger together. Thank you so much Ashley for allowing me to fall in love with your books and your characters.

Release Date: July 12, 2016

Blurb

After an earth-shattering tragedy, I left everything behind. School, family, friends -- what does any of it matter now?

No one knows my story. No one knows what happened. I'm barely holding on.

Then Ezra finds me. A tagger with a raw talent, he fills the city with his art, splashing color across Portland's grey skies. A ghostly woman in the depths of the ocean, a boy preyed upon by shadows -- everything he creates touches my soul. Authentic and raw, his work grounds me. Magnetic and brave, he heals me.

Ezra is everything I need; he's everything I don't deserve.

But Ezra won't let me fade away.

Drawn To You is a heart-wrenching debut about love, art, and a passion that brings color to the darkness. It's about the lengths we go to remember and the love we can never forget.

One single moment changes everything

In one breath, you can have it all

A split-second later, it can all disappear

Vanished forever

That was me

I had it all

Then in a cruel twist of fate, it was taken from me

A beautiful life gone in a flash

But he was there

He was there to pick me up when I fell

To protect me

My savior. My rock.

He was just a stranger

Just a selfless stranger with a face I'll never forget

Can't forget

Won't forget

And like everything else, he just disappeared

As if he never existed

I have to find him

I need to find him

He has to know that he saved me

He has to know that in that one fleeting moment, he was all I could see

Excerpt

I’d been on the road for three days, which meant I’d heard every song on my iPod about a hundred times, and I had way too much time to think, cry, scream obscenities at the universe, and contemplate my future. And yet by the time I’d made it to merely blocks from my destination, I still had no idea what the hell I was doing, or going to do next.

Somehow driving to Los Angeles from Dallas had been much prettier. The sky bluer, the hills, well, let’s face it, just as brown, there’s a drought after all. The route from the City of Angels back to the “Big D” lacked the same appeal.

It took me a full day to get the nerve to call my parents and tell them, “I’m coming home.”

“Great. Are you getting a hotel?” Mom asked.

“No, Mom, I’m coming home to stay.” The words caught in my throat and I cried.

“Oh,” she sounded terrified, not sympathetic.

“Can you tell dad?” I hiccuped through the sobbing. “But don't tell anyone else.”

She’d obviously called my best friends, because suddenly my phone blew up. I ignored it as much as possible. I refused to respond to the calls, messages, and texts, figuring I’d tell everyone at the same time, so I didn’t have to relive the story over and over.

By the time I’d hit the Dallas city limits my back ached, my knees throbbed, and my eyes needed toothpicks to hold my lids open, but I had only a few miles left to get to my parents’ place. If I could take both hands off the wheel and still drive, I’d put my hands over my face and scream into them.

Stopped at a light, just a few miles from home, the reality sank in. I’d left my career over a stupid guy. Three days ago I’d been in the most fake place in the world, and I loved it. This was home, real home, where even though I knew they cringed and prayed I’d only be staying for a few weeks at the longest, my mom and dad would welcome me with open arms, and I dreaded it. I waited for the light to turn green, wondering for the gazillionth time what I was going to do next.

A horn blared behind me, and I resisted the urge to roll down my window and flip them the bird. I stepped on the gas, and my Jetta died. No problem, this had happened before. It groaned and almost caught life, then nothing.

Shit.

I tried again.

Nothing.

“No.” I slammed the heels of my hands against the steering wheel.

More horns blasted a symphony behind me. The urge to flip them off overwhelmed me, but I had a stronger urge to cry. I searched around the steering wheel and dashboard for the hazard light thingy. I’d never had to use it in the decade I’d owned the car. You’d think they put them in the same place on every car. I knew where it was on my mom’s Ford Edge. But no, stupid Volkswagen had to be different.

My hand trembled as I looked, because now I heard shouting as well as honking. Okay, stop, think. I tried to start it again. I heard a chug, chug, chug sound, but nothing actually happened. I grabbed my phone to call my dad, and as I picked it up, I saw the battery read one percent. By the time I got the number dialed, the phone would be dead. And with my car lifeless, I couldn’t charge my phone. Why the hell hadn’t I plugged it in when I’d started driving earlier that morning?

Ah, the triangle doodad, that must be the…I pressed the button. Both blinker lights blinked. Good, now maybe everyone would stop honking and hollering. Besides, we’d sat through the green, to another red light. I took a deep breath, then looked out my driver’s side window.

I screamed, “Holy shit!”

I kid you not, a Duck Dynasty wannabe stood outside my car. Full brown beard, matching hair falling over his shoulders, and surfer clothes, he may as well have had a sign that read “will work for food.” I shook my head. I needed some sleep. Real sleep, like three full days of uninterrupted sleep.

Title: Hadley

Series: The Club Girl Diaries #3  

Author: Addison Jane

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Cover Design: Kari at Cover to Cover Designs

Photographer: Eric David Battershell

Models: Jordan Lindsey Moore 

 Release Date: July 22, 2016

Blurb

People change, it's a fact of life.
Hadley found that out the hard way after her husband came home one day with darkness in his eyes that she'd never seen before.
Realizing that she couldn't allow him to drag her into the shadows, she watched him walk away, thinking she’d be free to move on with her life.
But now she was on the run, seeking safety from a man she once vowed to love forever.
Becoming a club girl for the Brothers by Blood MC guaranteed her protection, and at the same time, allowed her to embrace her sexuality with no judgments or guilt.
Only things weren't as simple as she'd anticipated. She never expected Leo and his curly haired daughter to steal her heart, and for emotions to come into play.
Could she risk her life on the chance he might feel the same?

Leo was the Sargent at Arms for the Brothers by Blood MC.
It was his job to make sure the club was safe and their security tight.
He’d been to hell and back. Losing his wife Kim, after the birth of their daughter, had broken his heart to the point where he thought it was irreparable. She’d been his everything since he was a teenager, and he was determined to never lose her memory.
With the club around him and his baby girl at his side, he’d become content with life alone.
When Hadley showed up, he wasn't quite sure what to make of the self-confident, sweet natured brunette. He was drawn to her—a pull he struggled to escape.
He wanted her, but he was afraid to get too close, not sure that his heart was strong enough to let someone else in.

When danger comes knocking, they need to make a decision—protect themselves and move on, or stand together and risk it all.
