**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.

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} Uncover Me by Chelle Bliss My rating: 4 of 5 stars

 

Uncover Me - Men of Inked #4

Synopsis:

I lost track of my life.

Spiraling down the rabbit hole, I lost myself and became one of them. Living undercover within the MC, the days bled together as I became absorbed in a life of excess and violence. Becoming consumed was easy. Was I Thomas Gallo, good guy and respected cop or Blue, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Sun Devils MC? Before, I could answer with certainty. But now, there’s a darkness that has settled deep in my soul, fusing with my heart and altering my reality forever. The road I’ve traveled has been paved with danger, death, and deception. Roxanne grew up as part of the MC, a victim of her birth. Her life has been treacherous, setting her on a course of torment and destruction. When our worlds collide, secrets are revealed. Trying to save us from damnation, I fight for redemption and the woman I love.  

Review:

So a peer tells me that I need to read this book that is about to be published. I am worried about reading it because I would be coming into the series mid-way and I thought I would be lost, this is my first Bliss novel. I was definitely intrigued with the cover, SWEET Jesus the cover art is hot and I was HAPPY, that I was reading an MC novel.

I get the book and as soon I start reading there is danger and suspense and strip clubs. I am engulfed in sweet, naughty but some how nice GREATNESS. Bliss’ writing flows and I believe that is essential, for me, in a read.

The characters had a great development, being new to the story I did not get lost, and I liked the drama/danger. It was awesome. Lately, I have read women main characters and women wrote them. This is a male main, that is written by a women.

Thomas was so strong and the perfect ALPHA for me. I like that he was….. I don’t want to give anything away. Just know that I want me some of him bad and I like his dominance. It was hot.

Bliss made me wanted to be apart of the family and from meeting everyone and their significant others at family dinner I am very eager to read Izzy’s story.

Great Read. Four stars!

Happy Reading.

{Review} The Unexpected Collection: Complete Series #1-3 by Amity Cross

The Unexpected Collection: Complete Series #1-6 by Amity Cross
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am starting with the end, at the beginning. Amity has me for life. I am no longer just a reader but a follower. She had me in the bar, at the hotel, in the side room at the concert, and in the shower. She made me wet, angry, loved, and want to punch someone in the face.

Blair and West (those are the characters in this masterpiece) are the negative charges at the end of a magnet. They are not people who should be together (in the beginning, this was my opinion). They actually should repeal against each other but when they have the opposite to their charge (him needing to break away due to all his past discretions and she needing to be royally f**ked to get out of her own mind) they just connect. Their bad crap gives them the positive charge that they need.

I can’t give any spoilers about this GREAT story of love, growth, and triumph away. I will say that their love is classic. It is not perfect and with all the flaws they have they are perfect.

Everyone is against this self-destructive relationship. What can you do when no one wants what you believe you need? Nothing, and it sucks. While Blair and West are trying to be the positives in their lives, they are met with negativity. “Sad face.”

Blair is a nomad and West is just…lost. They have no solid ground or constant love that is present, which can be touched. Hence why they bump uglies on the daily. The sex in this book is HOT!!!! I digress…I believe that is one of the main reasons they discover one another. Because they are what each other needs.

I loved that it is book is about a musician. Since Kellan Kyle (Thoughtless series) and Jake Wethers (The Mighty Storm series), I have loved me a music man. I loved that it is about a girl who has no goals or aspirations. I mean, come on. No chick is be a size zero and perfect. This made Blair rock, as a character, so much more to me.

Amity made the characters imperfect which was perfect.

This book is truly a great, wonderful read.

If you like unpredictability, a “not so” prince charming, and a Cinderella with a potty mouth and attitude, this is the best book to read. There is no sweet without the sour and this book will make you think about what you want more, the sweet life or the not so sweet.

Give me the not so, anytime.

Happy Reading.

Excerpt

X

Sliding out of the booth, I sauntered across the pub and ducked behind the counter. Nobody gave me a second glance. They didn’t know who I was, nobody did, but they knew I wasn’t anybody good. Peering through the window on the door, Mercy had her back turned, wiping at her damp T-shirt. I could step into her from behind and show her how hard I was…but that wasn’t the way this game was going to be played.

Pressing the door open with the flat of my palm, she looked up at me with blue eyes that gave away two things. Her hair wasn’t naturally black and by the way her pupils dilated, she was amped up. I was interested in only one of these observations and by the way my cock began to stir, there was no guessing which one was the money shot.

Mercy glared up at me, trying to cover her surprise at my appearance.

“What the fuck do you want?” she spat, dabbing at her tiny T-shirt with a rag. “You’re not allowed back here. Employees only."

I stepped closer, not put off by her tone at all. I’d had worse.

“I don’t give a shit,” I said.

She eyed me, her gaze raking from head to cock and back up again.

I quirked an eyebrow, my lip curling in amusement.

“If you want something, just fucking say it,” she said with an exasperated sigh. “I don’t even know who the fuck you are."

“X.”

“X, what?” she said, putting her hands on her hips. Bitch didn’t miss a trick.

“It’s my name."

"X as in the letter x?" She rolled her eyes.

"Got a problem?" I asked, inching closer.

“Yeah.” She nodded at me. “You’re in a staff only area. You might be all buddy buddy with Weiss, but I don’t know you from shit."

“The mouth on you,” I breathed, totally turned on. I knew she had bite in her, but fucking Jesus H Christ. The more she bit, the harder I got. My gaze rested on her tits. Yeah, I was a tits man through and through and hers...

“You think I’m going to let you fuck me?” she scoffed, her bluntness doing nothing but turning me on even more.

My gaze snapped back to hers. “Who said I was going to fuck you?"

She pressed her hips forward, her groin rubbing into mine. “Your cock."

My hand shot up and grasped the hair at the nape of her neck. With a sharp tug, her head fell to the side, leaving her neck exposed. If I was an asshole, I’d just take her now, but I wasn’t…fuck that. I was an asshole. Asshole was too safe a word to describe the kind of man I was.

“No,” I said, running my gaze down her pale neck and over her tits. “No, I’m not going to fuck you, Mercy.” She gave me a look that screamed ‘offended' and it only made me grin wider. “Not here. When I fuck you, I’m not going to share your screams with anyone."

Her entire body shivered and I knew I had her. Next time, she would come to me.

Letting her go, I let her hair run between my fingers and it took her a beat too long to step back and separate our bodies.

Giving her one last appreciative look, I turned on my heel and exited the ‘employee only’ room. I could wait. My cock strained against my jeans in protest, but this was one desire I was playing out and savoring.

I strode across the bar and pushed out the door, rearranging myself.

I could wait.
