FUELED (The Driven Trilogy #2) by K. Bromberg

5 SEXY, ACE STARS!!!!

Again, I can't believe I wanted so long to read this series!!!!!  FUELED continues where DRIVEN left off.  The hotness continues in full force with lots of drama and banter and altercations to keep you hooked!

I did NOT expect to be ugly crying while reading this book!!!  Riley's final secret...OMG, I did NOT see that coming!  And Colton revealing more of his past...OMG, I think I cried for a full chapter!!

What an emotional ride!  I love that they are raging mad at each other one minute and then find so much comfort in each other the next minute! I love the fact that they give it to each other like it is and don't play games like in other books!  Ok, maybe sexy games LOL, but not mind games about the relationship and their feelings!!  There is no lack of passion and chemistry from these two!!

UGH, the ending!!!!!  I have to admit I predicted how it would end pretty early on, but that didn't make it any less nail-biting!!!  Seriously!!!  I NEED CRASHED!!!!!!!!  NOW!!!!!!!!!! 

DRIVEN (The Driven Trilogy #1) by K. Bromberg

 

 

5 SIZZLING STARS!!!!

I can't believe I waited so long to read this series!!!!!  WOW...I feel like I needed a cold shower every time I paused reading!!  Talk about HOT!!!! 

Colton, Colton, Colton...holy f'n hotness!!!!!!  **SIGH**  Riley had no idea what hit her when she fell into his arms backstage at that auction!!! 

Riley is as straight laced as they come.  Always planning, always walking the line.  Until she meets Colton!!  The bad boy race car driver who turned her world upside down!  Colton can have any woman he wants and sets the terms.  No relationships, just arrangements!  Until now...Riley has turned his world upside down too!! 

The story had me from the first chapter!  From the first time Colton spoke, omg!!  This story is not for the bashful for sure!  All I can manage to say is hot, hot, hot!!! 

I loved the ending, as painful as it was to read and can't wait to continue on to Driven! 

AFTER THE KISS (Sex, Love & Stiletto #1) by Lauren Layne

3.5 STARS

I have to admit I put this one off thinking it was going to be all sex and not much substance.  Thankfully, I was wrong!  It was not at all what I expected!  I was able to connect with the characters.  I found them humorous and real.  As much as I cannot relate to the fast lane of NY and Wall Street, their story was believable.  The awkward first dates and their banter were hilarious!

Great story and I will definitely follow this series!

FINDING CINDERELLA (Hopeless #2.5) by Colleen Hoover

 

5 SWEET STARS!!!!

What a great story!  I loved the story line, loved Daniel and Six, loved it beginning to end!  Read in about 2 hours (only because of interruptions :)!  So much emotion packed into this little novella!  When I read about what happened to her in Paris, my heart sank!  I was NOT expecting that!!  I felt every emotion along with this couple, which is rare for a novella!  Would love to read more about them in the future!  The only negative was that it was so short!!  :)

Thank you Colleen Hoover for providing this book free to your readers!!

ALL OVER YOU (Unforgettable You, #1.5) by Beverley Kendall

 

3.5 STARS

I found out this is part of a series, but was fine with it being a stand alone.  Rebecca is trying her best to ignore and hate her ex, Scott, for over a year now.  Everywhere she goes, she seems to run into him and he won't stop his advances on her.  He wants to get back together despite the fact that she broke up with him.  They cannot deny their honest attraction, but is it enough to keep them back together?

I enjoyed both characters and the supporting characters.  I loved how her best friend knew her better than she did and tries to do what's best for her even if she doesn't admit it is!  Scott is just HOT!  The sparks definitely flew in the bedroom!

All in all, I feel it was well written and will go back to read Unforgettable You #1 and #2.

UNATTAINABLE by Madeline Sheehan

 

3 STARS

Liked it, didn't love it.  :(  Unfortunately, I just couldn't get lost in it.  I liked the parallel stories, but it seemed too predictable to me.  A little too similar to the other 2 in the series as well.  I was not into "Dirty" at all.  I didn't enjoy his back story and what it did to him.  A little to dark for me.

Tegan was a pain in the #ss.  Way too volatile and annoying with her going off and screaming for most of the book.  I did love Gage and wish his story was different.  He deserved a better woman!!  Sorry Tegan :)

What I also enjoyed is the family dinners and reading more about the Prez and Eva and the other previous characters!

I am a little disappointed because I loved Undeniable and Unbeautifully but I love Madelaine's writing style and look forward to more books by her! 

TREASURE YOUR LOVE by J.C. Reed

 

4 STARS

This was my favorite of the series!  A much quicker read because I couldn't put it down.  So much passion, drama and suspense!!!  It was so action packed but also very romantic as Jett continued his quest to save Brooke and his company. 

I loved to watch their relationship evolve and her feelings of trust growing each day!  I loved how he took care of her yet pushed her boundaries. 

I found the answers to all of my questions and was satisfied with how it ended.  I didn't see it coming...who ended up being the mastermind behind it all!!!   WOW!  Great series, great author!!

CONVICTED (Consequences #3) by Aleatha Romig

 

5+ TWISTED, MIND NUMBING STARS

ALEATHA ROMIG IS A MASTER OF MIND MANIPULATION!!!  I don't even know how to review this book but to say it was amazing!  Never have I been so captivated by a series and felt such a connection to every character in it!  Every chapter had me full-on living these characters and feeling for every one of them!! 

I could go on for days about Claire!  She is such an amazing woman! 
Tony the sick bastard turned loving, devoted husband!  As much as I couldn't forgive Tony for what he did to Claire, I still loved him and felt their connection and his devotion to her in the end.
Catherine the sadistic, "evil stepmother like" character! 
I have to admit I fell in love with PHIL!!  :)  His devotion to Clarie and keeping her safe was overwhelming. 
I was not a fan of Claire's sister, Emily!  I didn't like her through the whole series. I understand she was doing what she felt was best for Claire, but she was too much! 
I could go on, character by character, but I will stop there! 

The whole book was a roller coaster, but the ending just did me in!  Just when I thought I knew what was coming...WHAM!!!  Blindsided with another trap door!!! 

WOW, I feel like I need therapy after finishing this series!!  LOL!!!  Way to go Aleatha Romig and I can't wait to read your next work!! 

PRESERVATION (Preservation #1) by Rachael Wade

 

 

 2 STARS

I just couldn't connect with the story.  I love a good teacher/student romance, but this just wasn't it for me.  The intensity of the relationship started way too quickly for me.  I didn't see a build up...it wasn't believable.  Although I did enjoy Kate's character, I didn't like Ryan.  He was way too arrogant for me and I felt nothing for him and didn't feel his immediate connection with Kate. 

I am giving it 2 stars because it had the potential for a great story.

A WILD RIDE by Jasinda Wilder

 
 
3 STARS

I was once again looking for a quick read.  Scanning through my kindle I came across this book and forgot it was by Jasinda Wilder (one of my fav authors!).  If your looking for something steamy, this is it!!  I have loved Jasinda's writing style since I read page 1 of the first book of hers that I read!  This book is no different.  By any other author, this could have easily gone the wrong way LOL, but with Jasinda's magic, I was thoroughly entertained!  Just what I needed!

OFF CHANCE (Off Series, #5) by Sawyer Bennett

 

 

5 SMOKIN' HOT STARS!!!

*ARC provided by the Author for an honest review.

I know I said it before but I'll say it again...Sawyer Bennett you've done it again!!!!  Never ceases to amaze me how she can write so intensely and I can feel every emotion from every character!!!

She had me crying just from the prologue!  OMG, what a way to start a book!!

Rowan and Flynn are fantastic, believable characters!  I fell in love with them both!  Who wouldn't love a smokin hot fire fighter!  **sigh**  But he was so much more than that!  He was heroic, sweet, loving, understanding and so patient with Rowan and her issues!  In fact I was getting frustrated with Rowan, not letting him in, but when she did...hoooooo wee!!!  Those were some steamy scenes! 

My favorite character was Capone!!  What a dog!!  So adorable!!  :)

I also loved the fact that we got to read about the rest of the Caldwell men and their woman!! 

Great job yet again Sayer Bennett!  Thank you so much for the opportunity at the ARC!! 

Raising Ryann by Alyssa Rae Taylor

 

 4.5 STARS

Wow, I am on a roll with good books this week!!!  The cover definitely got me on this one!!  A hot fighter book is usually a good time and this one did not disappoint!!  I loved just about everything about this book!  Alyssa Rae Taylor wasn't kidding when she said, " It's filled with action, suspense, mystery, and a touch of humor."  And I would say more than a touch of humor!  There were parts that I laughed out loud. Plus a lot of sexual frustration and tension as well, although no "sex" which was kind of strange, but the book certainly didn't lack any passion!

I have to admit, it was not what I expected.  I thought the focus was going to be on Ryann, but it seemed to focus more on Reese and her past as well.  Well, I guess it's more about them both and their connection from the past and now the present...  Anyway, I loved the idea of this book and I love a little suspense thrown in there too!

I don't want to get too much into the story since there was so much going on (in a good way), but I will say it's NOT an HEA and the ending was a definite CLIFFY!!  I can't wait for the next book to find out where it goes!
