Review of the Score by Elle Kennedy

The Score by Elle Kennedy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Loved it. Enough said! Review to come.
Updated 12/10/16:

I think I was the most shocked about who this book was about. After reading one and two I did not think that it would be about Dean. And I reread book one and two and Allie was in a relationship with some guy named Sean but their love was not discussed that much.

Since I am over my shock let me review this bitch. The book was good, like really good. I knew at the beginning I was going to love the hell out of this book. One (1): I love the series, Two (2): the writing is fierce and Three (3): the author had me fall in love with a character that was supporting in two books and that I really did not give a second glance at. I mean he was discussed but, I just didn’t commit him to my “his getting a book” thought process.

So he gets a book. And the story was smooth. The development made sense and was sound. I was lost in this book for many hours and loved how she lead me the best ending.

So you know that I love how each of my past favorite characters of book one (1) and two (2) are present in this book and all man did I realize home much I miss them. It has been some time since the last I read about their convoluted love lives and had to go back for another read. Of course they were great AGAIN and it also allowed me to understand book three (3) because of previous information shared. Now, That Is All I Am Going To Say About That.

Dean is the typical jock and someone who knows his hockey. The boy has mad skills. He is what I call a hit and run. He hits that vag and then he is out. He dominates where he is at and knows when to be playful and serious. He has a side to him that no one knows about, and I like this side. He is well rounded and perfect for 88

Allie is lost and found at the same time. She is lost because she doesn’t know what to do with her life/career. She is found because she made a profound decision that is a defining part of the book. What I like is that she does not let this decision define her. She is comfort about with herself, whether she is defined for all to see or carefree. She is described by Dean as a natural beauty/girl next door who can change to the scarlet bombshell. I love how he describes her. Too sweet.
Either way, I totally understand why Wellsy and Allie are good friends.

I love how Elle writes about friendships and men taking care of women. It is all good and makes me the reader happy about what I am reading.

**Review** When we fall by Marquita Valentine

When We Fall by Marquita Valentine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book I have read by Marquita Valentine and I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed the storyline of a rich girl loving a bad boy. Rich girl, Piper, is not that confident to let the Bad Boy, Jase, know (for many years) that she has wanted him to be in her heart and her bed. But some how magically she finds the confidents and strips herself of her Lily Pulitzer figuratively and lets him know, “Hey guy, I like you.”

Now this is a romance story, it is an insta-love, and it does fall under contemporary smut for me. Piper and Jase are the two main characters with a stellar supporting cast. Their interactions were good, the story in the beginning for me was super slow. I started reading the book on my way to Charlotte, N. C. I didn’t finish this book until today. No, this book was not written like War and Peace it is not fifty million pages long but I guess it was like War and Peace that is was slow in the beginning. It read so slow, I just was not feeling it but I trekked forward and found that I quite enjoyed the characters.

I liked Jase the most. I found him to be very real and horny. Which was awesome because Piper needs a good pounding, because of her life in general and because she is curious. Big shocker that she is… A VIRGIN. LOL. I know. It has been played before but how often do we have a convict and a virgin, (if you see a book with that let me know because that was hot) and this is where it went from contemporary to SMUT.

Just likes Drake’s song 0-100 real quick.

So Jase was so getting it in (having lots of dirty time) with Piper and she was an eager beaver.

The story itself there are some oh and girl what moments. Then is some major drama in this book that is carried over from Book (1) one and I did not find the climax to be very good. Not talking about the sex (sex was good) but the overall oh my moment that is the climax of the story was a little weak for me.

Now I loved that I was in Charlotte and was reading about it. Loved that there is a HEA. That made me feel good about the story even more.

I think I can predict book (3) three. I think it will be about the cop and the chick on the side of the road. It was a pivotal point in the book for me and it was mentioned again later in the book, when I had undoubtedly forgot about them. So it could happen.

Overall, it was good. It was great book for people interested in smut but who are too nervous to cross over into it. Marquita can write about some men, she did a really good job with that in this book. They [the men] were all good in this book.

Something you may not know, I always try to find the title of the book in the story. The author placed this information at towards the end of this book. So happy hunting.

Happy reading and writing.

Sustained by Emma Chase My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sustained by Emma Chase
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Genre: Contemporary

Series: Yes Book two in the series.

Rating: 5/5

Steam level: 3.5/5

Main characters: Jake Becker (lawyer) and Chelsea McQuaid (college student, aunt, she does everything)





Synopsis:




A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight.

When you’re a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how hard life can be, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I, Jake Becker, have a reputation for being cold, callous, and intimidating—and that suits me just fine. In fact, it’s necessary when I’m breaking down a witness on the stand.



Complications don’t work for me—I’m a “need-to-know” type of man. If you’re my client, tell me the basic facts. If you’re my date, stick to what will turn you on. I’m not a therapist or Prince Charming—and I don’t pretend to be.



Then Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I'm going to Mommy & Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room, and arguing cases in the principal's office.



Chelsea’s too sweet, too innocent, and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be tough, but she’s not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids.

And that — that, I know how to do.





Did I enjoy?: Yes. Immensely.





Brief review: First, I love Emma’s writing. It is witty, sexy, classic, and dominates your life when reading. She has this style that is just, AWESOME. I read very few contemporary books. I am smut (Erotica) all day long but there is something about her writing that lures me in like a sailor to a siren.

Second, I love the characters. They are so loveable and nothing like her other series, which is perfect. Emma always has a comic relief person in the book. If it is not Drew’s niece from the Tangled series or grandma in book one of the Legal Briefs series, then it is children and lots of them. There is nothing worse than an author recycling the topic in a new series with the same ole same ole. Yes, it is about a boy and he meets a girl but that is what all romance books are about. The way she has them meet, is perfect and challenging. I kept thinking while I reading this book, if this was me would I do that; uh YES, and would I want him to do that; HELL YES and is that position even sexually possible; honey I need you for a book fact check and YES it is, Thank you Ms. Chase.

Third, she makes reading fun. I read books because I like the escape. Sometimes I read a book and I am very upset with how it turned out. It’s like two people are writing it, the author and the editor. But her books just have this flow that is just harmonious with my book soul and that makes me giddy.
She writes so well that I don’t even miss what the smut (erotic) sessions. Her writing fulfills a need that I seek when I read smut (erotic) books





Would I read it again: Yes. I just reread this book last week. That would be three times. Sweet Tomatoes, this book is fantastic.




If you have not read this series, start on it now. It is awesome. I recently posted that there is a sale taking place for book one, this will allow you to catch up with the series. This book can be read as a standalone and it does involve a HEA and a lot of mini adults, which are hilarious.




Happy Reading.

Review of Obligation

Obligation by Aurora Rose Reynolds

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Obligation is an emotionally charged story. I was on edge for most of the book and swooning because Kai was described as quiet, patient, and HOT.

This is my first book in the underground series. The author made my transition to this book very smooth. She is still the queen of the Alpha Male and wooh-wow, she can make a girl weak at the knees.

The story is one where protection and power are dominant. I am unclear at the beginning whether Kai is only helping due to a promise, a debt, a sinister plan, or because he loved Myla at first sight.

What I discovered is that his quietness put Myla at ease. Too many words and everything she was trying to deal with, was just too much.

The location, isolation, was perfect for the situation and my reading mind and the love that transpires, whether it is real or just of convenience is fine by me because the author writes some smoldering scenes.

I wanted more, as always with Aurora, she just has me wanting more from her.

This is a great book. It has the same theme of Alpha male with submitting women (with resistance) but the overall plot is different, so it is just perfect.

Happy reading.

Review of Vol 2 4-stars!

The Diary of Bink Cummings: Vol 2 by Bink Cummings
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The review has taken me awhile to write because my computer is sick, has a cold, or is just upset that I finished Bink’s Volume #2 book in one day and is eagerly awaiting more from this author.

Volume two is a fast forward (many months) with Bink in her new life in Chicago. Things have changed for Bink. She is in a new place, with new friends and a new love. Big, is very much absent at the beginning of this book.

The book through me for a loop. Bink is this badass biker chick and then she is not, so much, in this book. I was slightly disappointed by this absence and the talk of MC orgasms, LOL. It remains absent at the beginning of the book but represents itself later, at a much-needed time.

In this book I grew to love Big and I definitely missed the compound and all of their antics. The new group of men in Chi-town, were great supporting characters but they were not the bikers, I grew to love in Vol. 1.

In this book, I am literally watching love develop. It is slow, patient, and badass, but it is there. Big made a best supporting character in Vol. 1, but he made best lead actor in Vol. 2. Let this be said, you just do not mess with Big and his family, end of!

Vol. 2 is prep for Vol. 3 and I think that book will solidify what this mystery is within the club because it has me on edge. I am eager to know what happen and how it can and will mess with the club and how Bink is involved.

Patiently waiting for book/Vol. 3.

Happy Reading.
