Review: Storm Chaser - Elle Middaugh

Storm Chaser Storm Chaser by Elle Middaugh
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

This is it, the third book in the Storms of Blackwood series and like the previous two books, it is full of action, intrigue and passion. We were left with a cliffhanger at the end of the second book where we didn’t quite know which of the brother’s had survived and Alexis losing friends and being stuck back with the Storm King. Not everything was what it seemed though and we learnt a little bit more about the Storm King and where his powers came from.

The third book is all about survival. The emotional turmoil that Alexis and the princes go through it heartbreaking at times but they seem to keep fighting on for each other and themselves. As with the rest of the series, there are some extremely hot scenes in this book between Alexis and the princes. Sadly, I can’t just choose one. As this series goes on, it gets better and better with more intrigue, action and passion.... but you're going to have to wait for the next one to see what happens with Alexis and her princes!

If you love paranormal romance, with a reverse harem style story-line, then this is the books for you. I can’t wait to see what else this author comes up with!

ARC received for a fair and honest review.

Review: The Russian - Renee Rose

The Russian The Russian by Renee Rose
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

This was a really quick read that puts you in the action straight away. This is the story of Yuri and Lucy. Lucy is kidnapped by Yuri and his Mafia brothers after Lucy's brother owes them money (which he hasn't come up with). To make matter worse, Lucy is instantly attracted to the hot Russian who is working for the Italian Mafia.

Not everything is what it seems with Yuri, not only is he stuck with kidnapping Lucy, but he is instantly attracted to the sassy woman who keeps pushing his buttons. but Yuri has secrets and they're all going to come out in the end.

As with most of Renee Rose's books, this is a hot read which balances some BDSM and kink with a wonderfully woven, quick novella. If you like Mafia romances with alpha-males, then this is the one for you!

Review: Judgment Road - Christine Feehan

Judgment Road Judgment Road by Christine Feehan
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars

This has to be one of the best MC series I’ve read and I think it’s because it is so different. This is the first book in the Torpedo Ink series and it starts with a bang! It looks at the relationship between Reaper and Anya. Reaper is a hard character, in the sense that he doesn’t give much away, is quiet and almost closed off, but that all changes with bartender Anya who he seems to fall for almost instantly, even though he knows that he shouldn’t because of the darkness in him.

This book focuses a lot on what Reaper and the rest of the MC have gone through and at times it can be hard to read as it is quite horrific. But so is Anya’s past, when you find out where she came from and what she has done to survive it is quite heart-breaking. I really liked that the relationship wasn’t easy…there was a lot of turmoil; and misunderstandings between Anya and Reaper which can only happen with two people who have such traumatic pasts.

There is such a bond between all the men and women of the MC and at times you could totally understand how Anya felt like she didn’t belong, especially when it came to making decisions based on past experiences.

Overall this was a riveting read with some intensely hot sexy scenes, scenes of pure heartbreak and sheer redemption, especially when it comes to Reaper and how he sees himself! If you like a touch of paranormal, with a dash of darkness and some smoking hotness all mixed together then this series is for you!

Title: Twisted Hearts
Author: Cora Reilly
Genre: Contemporary Romance


About Twisted Hearts:
Savio Falcone has a few non-negotiable rules when it comes to girls.
They need to be hot as f*ck.
Spread their legs without much prompting.
And leave as soon as the fun is over. Preferably minus any bitching or tears.
With his easy-going bad boy attitude, a last name that rules over Las Vegas and a body to die for, girls have always been at Savio’s disposal.
Unfortunately, the hottest girl in Vegas comes with a price Savio isn’t willing to pay. For Savio to get Gemma he’d need to seal the deal and put a ring on her finger. Settling down is out of the question, no matter how hot a piece of ass waits at the altar.
Gemma Bazzoli has had a crush on Savio from the first moment she came face to face with his arrogant smile, but for him she was always his best friend's annoying little sister—until her hard-earned curves catch even his attention.
But Savio likes it easy, and Gemma is anything but. When she’s promised to another man, Gemma resigns herself to the fact that the man she’s wanted all her life, doesn’t want her badly enough.
Savio has to decide how much work he’s willing to invest, because bending the rules in his usual style might not be enough to get the girl that haunts his wet dreams.
- Can be read as a standalone-

Exclusive Excerpt:
I tilted my head, bringing our faces closer. Gemma was the full package. Choir girl and sex bomb, a lethal combination of heaven and hell. Being around her, you couldn’t help but want to be sinner and saint, only so you could be closer to her.
“Savio…” Gemma said in warning, bringing her palms up against my chest. 
I got that she didn’t want to have sex before our wedding night, but why deprive herself of all the other fun things I could show her? “Is a kiss really so bad? Your mouth is so fucking kissable.” 
“Well, your mouth is coming around too much for my taste. You’ve probably kissed more lady parts than most toilet seats.”
My arms gave in from the force of my laughter. Fuck, Gemma was one of a kind. Resting my forehead against the wall, my body pressed into Gemma. “Lady parts?” I repeated between chuckles as I tilted my head down. 
Gemma raised her head. We were so fucking close, her lips were begging for me to bridge the few inches between us. “How about you call them what everyone does? Pussy.”
Her cheeks turned red. “I’m not going to take that word into my mouth.” She pushed harder against my chest, but I didn’t budge.
“I’d love to have your pussy in my mouth,” I growled, and doing my usual routine without even thinking about it, I ground myself against the woman in front of me to show her what she was doing to me.
Gemma tensed, her eyes widening in shock. She jerked her knee up and hit my balls. Pain shot through my body and I groaned. She quickly slipped out under my arm and stormed away. “That’s called Bull’s eye!” 
Fuck. Anger surged through me. I chased her despite the fucking throbbing in my balls, and I grabbed her wrist. She whirled on me. “Don’t do that ever again,” I growled.
She narrowed her eyes. “How about this then?” She swung her fist at me, aiming straight for my nose. My arm shot up, blocking her assault. I’d been fighting in the cage for years now against guys weighing twice as much as Gemma. She was a good fighter for a small girl, but that was it. I gripped her other wrist and jerked her against me, holding her fast. Her hair had come undone from her ponytail and framed her face in wild curls. “Apologize,” she seethed. 
My eyebrows shot up. “I’m not the one who smashed his knee into your lady parts.”
“Apologize for disrespecting me.”
I regarded her. She was dead serious. 
“If anyone else treated me the way you just did…”
“I’d cut his dick off and let him bleed out,” I finished.

West Larson comes from old money—the kind of wealth that comes with expectations steeped in archaic traditions. So, it’s not surprising when he learns the conditions of his trust fund: produce an heir before he turns twenty-five.

Enter Stacia Kellan. Her lowkey personality makes her the perfect baby mama…without the drama. And thanks to her wild-ass hair, colorful tattoos, and smart mouth, she’s exactly the kind of girl his parents would never approve of.

West pulls out all the stops in wooing her and with every heated encounter, Stacia finds herself falling a little more for his charm and wit. Oh, and his forearms…yum.

Cole Covington is the most popular heartbreaker at school.
Every guy wants to be him and every girl wants to screw him.
Except me.
His devastatingly good looks, golden arm, and flirty smiles don't do it for me anymore...because I know what's lurking underneath the star quarterback's gorgeous armor.

Sometimes the most beautiful people...hide the ugliest truths.

And sometimes the only way to save someone...
is to walk beside them through hell.

Girls pick on her and guys don't notice her.
Except me.
Sweet, curvy, and sarcastic, she's impossible to ignore.
No matter how much I try.
Everyone at school has her pegged as the chubby, Jesus loving geek, but unlike them—Sawyer's real and never pretends to be someone she's not.

Until I ask her to be my fake girlfriend.

Sometimes the most beautiful souls...hide the greatest pain.

And sometimes the only way to save someone...
is to fight for them.

Esme’s thrown into a world of glamour and money, smoke and mirrors, hate, pain and unspoken rancor. A world with a distant, calculating and uncaring father; Archibald, a brother who hates her; and Caleb, his best friend who is as wicked and mean as he is beautiful and charismatic.
Caleb, this broken boy whom she can’t seem to hate enough to keep him out of her bloodstream, a boy who doesn’t seem to hate her enough to stay away.
But as the past reveals itself in ways Esme didn’t expect, she finds herself in the middle of a swirl of lies, betrayals, conspiracy and even murder, with barely anyone to watch her back.
The only thing she really wants is to get back to being Esme Danvers, to find a way out before it’s too late.

Blurb:
It's easier to control tears than fear.
It’s easier to suffer in silence than ask for help.
It's easier to be loved than to love.

Nadia has a past. A messy past full of grief, suffering, and regret. Broken and fragile, she’s scared to share her secrets and struggles to move on.
Until he comes along. A handsome face; an athletic build; the strength he emanates. He’s everything she needs to regain control of her emotions. He’s the flicker of light at the end of a dark tunnel.
But she refuses to take advantage of what he offers, too scared it’ll backfire.
Thomas carries a burden. A heavy burden that left him numb. He hides behind the mask of a playboy, refusing to feel, convinced that fate made a mistake and his job is to fix it. In his orderly world, there’s no place for joy and happiness.
Until she comes along. A beautiful face; a petite body; a sea of sadness in her eyes. She flips his world upside down with one look, and maybe – just maybe, there is a reason why he’s still breathing.
Except she’s his best friend’s off-limits little sister and if he touches her, she might just be the reason he stops breathing.

EXCERPT:
“Mum.” I clutched her arm carefully. “Do you not remember yesterday? The crash?”
She looked at me strangely and then lifted her car keys off the hook. My mouth gaped open. How could the car keys be there? Mum only had one set, and they were in the car when it crashed.
“What crash?” My mum asked, a crease forming between her brows.
“Erm, nothing. I’ve been dreaming nonsense again.”
“You always did have a vivid imagination.”
I walked through to the living room and looked out of the front window. My mother’s Vauxhall was parked outside absolutely fine.
It had all been a goddamn dream. A vivid freaking nightmare.
I collapsed onto the sofa and couldn’t help the tears that came down my face.
My mum’s voice came from the hallway. “I’m off, love. See you later. Tell your brother he’s not spending the whole of the holiday like this.” The door banged shut.
Once again time slowed down to thousandths of a second as my gaze turned to the cube calendar my mother kept on the shelf.
21 Aug 2018.
Four days ago.
My heart thudded in my chest. I was going insane. I needed a psychiatrist. The crash. Thea. It couldn’t have all been a dream. No one dreams that vividly.
My mother’s car set off down the drive and I rose to my feet watching through the window as her car—very real in front of my gaze—disappeared from view. I needed to check on Billy. Make sure he was in his room. Then I was taking the day off sick because something was very wrong with my mind.
And then she turned the corner. Turned and walked right up the road on the opposite side and as she reached directly opposite she stared right at our house, right through the window, and her brown eyes met mine. Thea.
But something else was off. Because this girl’s gaze was warm.
