*~* Synopsis *~*

Fans of Abbi Glines and Katy Evans will adore Take the Fall, the first spinoff novel from Marquita Valentine’s New York Times bestselling Boys of the South series. In this emotional new romance, passions run hot as a rugged, brooding Marine rekindles an old flame.

As a teenager, Seth O’Connor went to jail for a crime he had nothing to do with. He took the fall to protect the girl he loved, but the cruel realities of prison hardened him. After doing his time, Seth shuts her out and enlists in the Marines—until his grandmother’s funeral forces him to come home and face Rowan Simmons once again. The woman she’s become puts all his high-school memories to shame, and Seth wants her more than ever. Can he be honest about why he denied her for so long?

After Seth pushed her away, Rowan swore that no man would ever hurt her again. But the boy who broke her heart has become a sexy Marine, capable of fulfilling her every desire—and now that he’s back in town, old feelings are simmering to a boil. Rowan wants to stay strong, even as her body surrenders to his expert touch. She only hopes that by taking him back, she can finally help heal the wounds that drove them apart.

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

*~* My Review *~*

If you read my reviews then you know that I love the roller coaster rides.. lol Take The Fall was not a let down in this category at all.. lol This roller coaster was wonderful!! You have military, street racing, anger, hurt, prison, hot sex, and a love like no other.

Rowan Simmons is a love struck teenager that grows over seven years into a strong independant woman, that has lost her heart along the way. Rowan always seems to lose those she loves and refuses to love again.

Seth O'Connor is the good boy of all their friends but after a street race his world came to a screeching halt. Although he was deeply in love, he pushed the girl away to save her and to hurt her. Then joining the Marines and being away from home for so long, he realises that there is no where else for him but her.. His home..

Jase Simmons is Rowan's big brother that she lost to prison over a stupid street race gone bad. While he was in he became so closed off and only a shell of the man he once was. The only grace he found was writing to those outside mainly Piper, Rowans best friend and getting out to be with his girlfriend Giselle. His seven years in are almost up and he's hoping to lead a normal life. Well normal for him the wild Simmons boy.

I fell in love with this book from the first chapter. I felt like I was reading about friends that were off somewhere living their lives. I felt so close to these characters for some reason and thoroughly enjoyed reading about them and the lives they are leading. I'm so excited to read the next in the series. I grant this book 5 amazing stars :)

*~* Series Synopsis *~*

Rick "Ricochet" Brennan served eight years as an elite Marine special ops Force Recon soldier. After an injury, and the terrible memories from that night, he retires and goes to work for his former Command Officer, Howard "Mack" McEvoy, at his training center in Atlanta.

Sanctum MMA appears on the surface to be a normal gym, training elite fighters to be the best. Except each trainer, hand-picked by Mack, possesses a special background that allows Mack to run one of the best-kept secrets in the country.

When twenty-four year old Quinn Wallace finally escapes her abusive husband, she turns to her father’s old Marine Corps buddy, Mack, for help. Broken and skittish, Quinn finds herself surrounded by large, intimidating men— men who could easily overpower her. She avoids them the best she can, but when Rick turns out to be more than just a rough fighter with bruised knuckles, she finds herself wondering if she can allow herself to trust again.

Ricochet is a full-length novel to be released as three parts.

***These books contain hot sweaty men, sexy scenes for those over 18, and uncomfortable, sometimes violent scenes.*** 

REVIEW:

Ricochet: Locked & Loaded (Ricochet #1)

Locked and Loaded was a great book because you have the excitement of the military combat, the fight within oneself, and the fighting of feelings for others. 

Rick "Ricochet" Brennan is an ex military hunk that is in constant battle within himself so it makes all the things in his life a bit of a challenge. I really enjoyed Ricks character because he shows you that a big strong man can be soft yet hard at the same time. 

Quinn Wallace is such a strong woman in this book between an abusive husband and the loss of her dad. I really liked Quinn because this girl has been through the ringer but she never gives up. Now with a chance at a real life filled with love and independence she still lives in fear everyday. 

Although this book touches on the military and an MMA gym it is not solely about that. This book touches on different battles that some of us fight everyday. This was an awesome book and I am anxious to start the next!! Five Ricocheting stars have been granted :)

REVIEW:

Ricochet: Friendly Fire (Ricochet #2)

Heather did not disappoint with this book at all. It is exciting, angsty, and sexy. Between all the sexy gym heads and Quinn's past things are a bit crazy but it makes the book awesome. The characters are great because they are all protective of who they love and care about regardless of their place in each others lives. I am on to the last one now. I am sorry for the short review but I can't wait any longer!!

REVIEW:

  Ricochet: Extraction Point (Ricochet #3) 

This was a perfect end to this series. This book was awesomely filled with suspense, love and a little fear. Heather really did an awesome job portraying all sides of this story and it truly makes me want to go get ALL her other books. The characters in this book is just as the others in the series AWESOME!!

Quinn is the girl that thinks she is broken because of her past but finds throughout this series that she is a lot stronger than she or her ex ever gave her credit for.

Rick is the big strong Marine that is brought to his knees by a sweet young guy with no idea where it will lead him.

I truly loved this series and hope you all will read it!!

The 3rd and final book in the Songbird Trilogy by Lisa Edward is now LIVE!!!

Blurb

My name is Tara O’Connell, and I’ve always believed we control our own fate. That life is a journey with many roads, and the choices we make can shape our future.

Life has presented me with two paths and I’ve chosen one.

Was it right? Did I make the best decision?

After the uncertainty of the last twelve months, my destiny is now crystal-clear to me. I have a man I love more than words can express, a thriving business, and the best friends anyone could ask for. But just when I thought I could put the turmoil of my past behind me and move on, a life-changing phone call has rocked me to the core and turned my life upside-down once more.

To make matters worse, influences outside my control have taken hold and are shattering my perfect world.

But some things are worth fighting for.

Dreams can come true and I’ll do everything in my power to make them happen. But dreams can also be smashed into tiny pieces, and no matter how hard we fight or how hard we wish for something to be, sometimes with the hand we’ve been dealt, we can never win.
