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!

FREEFALL by Tess Oliver

 

5 FANTASTIC, MUST READ STARS!!!!

What a fantastic book!!!!!  Nix is my new book boyfriend for sure!!!  I wish this was not a stand alone!!  I want to know more about Nix and Scotlyn but also about the other characters!!!  Cassie and Dray AND Taylor and Clutch!!  I would LOVE to hear their stories!  This could easily be a great series!!

I LOVE Tess Oliver's writing style!  She kept me glued to the page and literally carrying the book around all day just to sneak a page or 2 in between EVERYTHING allowing me to finish in one day!!

Why did I love it so much?  Hmmm...the main characters Nix and Scotlyn were so far from anything I have read before.  Scotlyn not being able to speak was gut wrenching, but I felt everything emotion between her and Nix from beginning to end.  Not only that, every aspect of the story intrigued me!  I have never been so connected to ALL of the characters, not just the main couple!  The only character I did not like was Hammond!!  I despised him!!  BUT that's what I was supposed to be feeling so I loved his character and it was all again...so well written!

I LOVED the ending!  Although it ended pretty abruptly, I was surprisingly okay with that.  I was wondering how she was going to end this last set of intense scenes, which I felt something stirring, but think she did a fantastic job of ending it in a way I was NOT expecting!  I would have liked to see an epilogue so I could hear more, but I loved every word on every page!!!  I am just sad it had to end!
