#review – Boiling Point, Feverish Book 1.5 by Jade C Jamison @JadeCJamison
Pathetic.
Needy.
Untrusting.
Emily Brinkman hears all these descriptions in her head, all the things she knows others are thinking when she joins her boyfriend, Clay “Jet” Smith, on tour with his band. It doesn’t matter that she’s going as his PA as well; she knows she’s being judged…but she also knows that the people watching are half right.
Hot.
Tight.
Fine.
Clay can hear what all the men around him think of his sweet girlfriend and he loves having Emily join him on tour. To this woman, he’s not just a one-dimensional axe-slinging guitar god. She loves him and wants the best for him, and she won’t tell him something just because it’s what he wants to hear. But Clay didn’t stop to realize that all the guys on tour–from the roadies to security and even their frontman–would appreciate that Emily is a nice piece of ass. He will need to learn to trust her if their relationship is going to survive.
Will Clay and Emily survive the bumps on the road or will their time on tour drive them apart?
Feverish #1.5 kicks off the new Feverish series, a spinoff from Jade C. Jamison’s bestselling Bullet series.
I received a copy of the book from the author for an honest review.
You have no idea how excited I was to get more of Jet/Clay. You see I have loved him the most out of all the Bullet series guys since jump. I wasn’t sure how Boiling Point could top Feverish with Clay and Emily but she did it and I fell more in love with Clay/Jet and Emily.
The time has come for the band to go on tour and Emily is going because she is Clay’s P.A. She has her insecurities tested while on the road. Between the treatment from the road crew, being on the bus with all the guys, seeing all the girls come and go, and then there is Debbie that keeps talking about all the horrible tour life things sure doesn’t help with all her insecurities.
Clay has been burned before by a love and now he is caught in his head thinking maybe Emily is like his ex. Both feel the disconnect but because of their pasts are having difficult time overcoming it and talking to each other instead of keeping it bottled up waiting for the top to explode. Jet is able to toss that brick wall up and move on but sweet Clay struggles with what he thinks is going on. Can Clay and Emily survive life on the road or will what they have fizzle out before it really gets started?
This is a great quick read and continuation of Feverish being able to see into life on the road and to see the tribulations they go through. I enjoyed Emily and her way of dealing with what is going on during the tour. I loved seeing Clay’s sweet insecure side and then seeing Clay’s alter ego side Jet come out to play. I’m so excited for this series to get to know the other band members and of course to see more of my Clay/Jet. *swoon* Clay/Jet I still love them equally from the sweet caring Clay to the down and dirty Jet I cannot get enough of them.

Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado and has decided she likes it enough to stay forever. Jade’s day job is teaching Creative Writing, but teaching doesn’t stop her from doing a little writing herself.
Unfortunately, there’s no one genre that quite fits her writing. Her work has been labeled romance, erotica, suspense, and women’s fiction, and the latter is probably the safest and closest description. But you’ll see that her writing doesn’t quite fit any of those genres.

#Review – Bound by Vengeance by Ryan Michele
I received a copy from the author for an honest review.
Sweet Baby Jesus this book!! I have been dying to read this story and when I got it I was mad as a hornet that I had to wait a day to actually open it.
Austyn and Ryker, man their story was something. I knew Ryan would do it justice but I was so blown away by everything. The backstory for Ryker was so crazy. I hate to say it but all that happened to him made him the man he is today. The man who finally manned up to go after the woman he loves.
Austyn has loved Ryker since forever. But being who her mom and dad are, she was totally not even to be looked at that way. Dude Princess is her mom and we all know she is crazy…good crazy but crazy still!!
Austyn and Ryker are thrown together since he is her bodyguard to figure out what is going on after everything that happened to her. Austyn is totally not going to let her emotions get in the way and she channels her mom for some strength and grit. However, it’s too late because Ryker is there to claim his woman once and form damn all!!
#WOTR18 #Review #Shifter #MMA – Middleweight, Hallow Brothers Series Book 2 by Tricia Andersen
Micah Hallow doesn’t believe he’ll ever find his mate. That is until a mystic tattoo appears on his back after a wild night with a stripper that marks her as his mate. Despite a life-threatening injury that brings him to his knees every time it strikes, he commits to a fight in the octagon to save her life. What will she do when she finds out he’s one of the infamous Hallow Brothers—and a werewolf?
Eve Romero can’t escape her violent boss, Deacon. That is, until the hottie she slept with puts his life on the line in exchange for hers. She can’t fight the primal attraction to him even though she doesn’t feel she’s worthy of the Hallow brother. Can she overcome her past to be with him? And when a new, murderous threat strikes close to home, will the two of them survive?
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Oh baby!! This book did not let me down. Micah our sweet, nerdy, virgin shifter finds his mate in the druggie stripper turned prostitute after a night out with his brothers!! So yeah not really the girl to bring home to mom especially when you’re the momma’s boy!!
Micah and Eve are a great combo. Both have never felt the love of a significant other. Eve only knows heart ache by people where Micah only knows the love of his family…granted overbearing family but still family.
When the couple are thrown together and Micah agrees to step foot into the ring to save her, the couple have A LOT to learn a about each other. I felt a little bad for Eve because no one liked her buuut can you blame them when they see her track marks???? Yeah exactly. I did like that Meg put her in her place and informed her that she is family whether she wants to be or not so get over it. The brothers all pitch in to help Micah get ready for his fight and start to show Eve what family is all about. I think I loved Caleb a little bit more for his encouragement with Eve.
There is a lot of stuff happening in this book…new bag guys and maybe even more bad guys on top of the first group. Dealing with Eve’s ex “employer”, Momma’s special necklace and a brother with a secret mate/lover perhaps????
I am super excited for the next book ad have my fingers crossed for the secret lover storyline that was touched on a couple times in the book!!!

#Review – Feverish, Feverish Series Book 1 & Bullet Series Book 3 by Jade C. Jamison @JadeCJamison
Clayton “Jet” Smith has enjoyed acting the part of rock star god bad boy since his breakup with rock goddess Valerie Quinn. He’s racking up quite a score playing the field, and he has no plans to settle down anytime soon. His biggest problem these days is meeting his obligations, because he’s so busy having fun, he forgets the important things.To help him out, he hires recent graduate Emily Brinkman to be his personal assistant, and he quickly finds a fire burning in his belly for her. There are two problems, however. The first is that Emily is engaged to be married, a fact that leaves Jet unfazed. The second problem isn’t so easy to surmount, though. Emily is disgusted and unimpressed by both sides of the man.
Will Clay find a way to persuade Emily to try him out, not just for one night, but for all time?
Feverish moves the Bullet story forward. You don’t want to miss this one!
going to do this for me I’m going to have to.
If I could have jumped into a book and took someone out it would have been him. After it all went down this is what Clay had to say:
heartfelt and loving one second and then unleash Jet and be well JET the next. Just read and you will see. From there Wow did things heat up! Jet did not disappoint that is for sure.
was that in love with her. I wanted to crawl in to the book and curl up next to Clay when he laid his heart on the line and told Emily his story about his past loves. Here is one of my favorite realizations that Emily came to:
his touch. Hell, she hadn’t dampened
many panties with the guy even; Clay, on the other hand, had infected her with
deep desire, and she couldn’t deny it.”
himself but somehow Clay always came thru. He couldn’t fool Emily, her dad, or Mary for that matter they always seem to see what was going on. Just proves my initial thought of Clay/Jet was right on. Y’all can have your Daddy Brad, Ethan, and whoever else but I will stick with my Clay/Jet no matter what. He is a kind loving sole with the a little bad boy in him, I get the best of both worlds.

#Review – Bound by Vengeance Series: Ravage MC Bound #3 by Ryan Michele
This book is Austyn Cruz and Ryker’s story. We get a glimpse of Austyn’s back story in Bound by Desire but wow we get so much more in this one. I did enjoy watching Ryker hold back his wants and desires to help Austyn once he made his mind up with what he wanted.
Austyn has had a hard crush on Ryker since the day he came to the club. Only problem she was a child and he was 18. Therefore, Austyn was firmly placed in the kid friend zone. Ryker never saw her the way she saw him even when she made it clear to everyone. There is a turning point when a girl realizes it will never be and Austyn has hit that point.
I was stunned to find out Ryker’s past and let’s say it was a whole lot of wacked out craziness. However, Ryker’s loyalty to family really shines through. Ryker is loyal, determined and protective. Once he realizes what Austyn means to him he is determined to help her get past her demons. Although Austyn wants things to get back to normal she finds she has a live in body guard. Ryker is assigned to stay at her and Emery new apartment and be by her side 24/7.
Austyn shows she is Cruz and Princess daughter with her strength, determination and perseverance. She is a fighter she will keep getting up and swinging no matter what is thrown her way. Ryker was able to give Austyn space and then push her when she needed it. His patients and determination to help her and make her see what she meant to him was a delicate balance that he pulled off in a grand way.
I loved seeing the Ravage MC kids all growing up and starting their own lives. I cannot wait for Emery’s book to find out who she will choose.
A few of my favorites:
Life decided to throw me curveballs. It decided to kick me in the teeth while I was down. It decided to do it again, repeatedly, not letting up, holding me down.
This is far from over, my beautiful woman. No, Austyn Cruz, this is just the beginning.
I wish I could just disappear sometimes and not be an adult. Forget having to make decisions and thinking. Just be free again to think the world is perfect and the bad stuff will never touch me. That’ll never happen again. Adulating sucks.
#WOTR18 #ReleaseDay #Review – Crash and Burn (Witness, #6) by Heather D’Agostino @hdagostino001
Detective Mark Colby is used to being in charge whether it’s on the job, or in the bedroom. He knows the rules and follows them to the letter, that is until she steps into his station.
Detective Antonia Rossi has always had to fight her way to the top. Being the police commissioner’s daughter in a male dominated profession has always come at a price. When she’s assigned as Mark’s new partner, she knows she’s in for a fight. Mark’s reputation for dominance proceeds him, and he makes no effort to hide it.
Can duty override desire, or will it end in a fiery crash of wills? Sometimes the crash is worth the burn.
Toni had always felt she needed to prove herself because she is a good cop but a woman…the dang boys club can be tough at times. She is partnered with Mark and they have this SPARK but because Mark is taken PLUS you can’t date your partner at work, he is off limits.
Heather D’Agostino is an avid reader turned Bestselling Author of the Contemporary Romance Series The Broken Series, The Shattered Series, The Second Chances Series, The Cook Brothers Series, and Romantic Suspense series The Witness Series.

Melinda back? Thanks…ok here goes….Should Daddy Brad make me mad and we break up, I am sooo running to Clay/Jet!!! Again , please keep Melinda still for me ok cuz she is not going to like reading that!!So I have to admit I was THRILLED to read this book. I loved Jet/Clay and what he did to help my girl Val out during the book Bullet. Jet was the perfect “distraction” that Val needed. He helped teacher her alot about herself and her wants/needs. So I was thrilled to finally see him get his HEA.Clay is a wonderful, sensitive man who uses his Jet persona to hide his true self. Emily is able to see the “real” Clay and she loved everything she sees in him…she is a smitten girl but she has one big problem. She is engaged to a DB!! The crap her fiance puts her through is astounding!!! I mean just wait til you read the hotel scene!!! I was livid for her and Clay wasn’t a happy camper either. BUT that scene is what makes the Jet/Clay and Emily connection begin. I loved him for what he says to her after she fights with the fiancee…..THUD for sure……*fanning myself*I will say that with every Jade book I have read, I get ready for the high level of angst. I am ready with tissues and tums. I know I will be mega stressed out. This book, however, had a totally different vibe. Don’t get me wrong, the book kicked solid ass and I was getting angry at the DB Fiancee but….this book was full of heart. Now, don’t get all crazy on me and say her other books didn’t have heart and flowers but Clay and his emotional side REALLY shines through. He is such a wonderful hero. I really and truly had a new appreciation and love for him after reading. When he bares his soul to Emily about his past relationships, I just wanted to hug him. I wanted to crawl in his lap and snuggle with him. He is a man of experience..snickers…but he is soooooo “innocent” at matters of the heart…..SWOON…….
Ok so the naughty times between Jet/Clay and Emily were awesome and hot…like you would expect anything different right? So if you are a Bullet fan then I really don’t need to convince you to read this book. If you haven’t read Bullet, please do and then read Ethan’s book Rock Bottom before reading Jet/Clay’s book……

#WOTR18 #Review #MMA #Shifters – Welterweight, Hallow Brothers Series Book 1 by Tricia Andersen
Caleb Hallow doesn’t need anyone. All he needs is to dominate in the MMA cage and become world champion. His plans are derailed when he wakes up with a mysterious tattoo of his ancestors after a one-night stand with his opponent’s ex-girlfriend, Meg Riley. Sharing the mark with her joins them as mates for eternity. Can Caleb deal with Meg for the rest of his life? Can he keep her safe from his past as he falls deeply in love with her? And will she stay by him when she finds out he is actually a werewolf?
It was just a fling, a chance to get revenge on her cheating ex. At least that’s what Meg Riley tries to convince herself. But the indescribable pull that draws her to the dark, dangerous Caleb Hallow tells her differently. Although she is furious when she finds the strange tattoo on her back after their night together, and even though he tells her some convoluted story about him being a werewolf, she can’t stay away from him. She can’t stop herself from falling for him. When her ex threatens Caleb’s life, how far will Meg go to save him? Will she be willing to sacrifice her life for his?
I purchased this book.
MMA Hotties? Yes Please
Shifters? OMGawd YES!!!
I mean like you need to ask me if I am interested in a shifter book…do you people not know me at all!! LOL
I loved the alpha, Caleb, in this book. He is such an arrogant jackass, which of course is why we love him right ladies?? But then when we see his soft side, he made me get all gushy annnnd then he was back to being a jackass.
Meg is looking for a one-night stand and this hottie at the bar will do nicely especially since he is the next guy who is going to be fighting her on-again, but currently off again, boyfriend Austin. Jealousy will make him stop being a jerk, right?
When the couple hook up they get a lot more then they bargained for when they both wake up to the mating tattoos on their bodies. Meg is livid her one-night stand drugged and tattooed her…I mean how else did it get there? Caleb is pissed because he doesn’t want a mate. He is a bad guy and an island, ya know the guys who don’t need anyone??? Why momma didn’t smack him upside the head a time or two I will never know!!
I loved loved loved the fighting these two had. It was great but then we would see a glimpse of what they COULD be if they both stopped fighting this bond. I loved the world that Tricia built. The characters were fabulous and I am so excited to read Micah next.
The series did a great job filling you in and introducing you to the characters that we will be seeing for at least 7 books??? 7 brothers means 7 books right???? I am really looking forward to Josiah. Dunno but he really made me wiggle my eyes a bit but I have a feeling each brother will be my favorites by the books end.
