Stating his Case by Jade C Jamison

I purchased this book but shhh don’t tell Jade or she will be mad at me for not asking for a review copy.

I was looking through Jade’s list of books for something different to read when I saw this book.  It sounded good so I figured why not.

This book is about Samantha who meets and starts representing a client named Ryan.  She feels a chemistry but thinks it is in her head until she sees him again.  When she asks him out to celebrate a mini-victory, the two combust.

After a night of fun Samantha begins to realize she made a huge mistake because she broke ethics rules and can be disbarred.  The two have words and stop seeing each other.  When Samantha is thinking no one will discover her mistake of judgement, everything comes crashing down.

The story is pretty straight and narrow.  You can kinda of see what is going to happen until the last chapters of the book when we get a little twist thrown in.  I was like WHOOO DIDN’T SEE THAT.

I liked the story and it has an easy flow about it.  If you are  fan of her rockers but want to try something different, give it a try.

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.

You’ll have to discover Jade’s writing for yourself to decide if you like it.

Anya Gage has learned that to get anything good in life, you have to work for it. She has no expectations, no dreams.

Then she finds herself at a party where she doesn’t want to be and she meets Knight.

Knight Sebring knows who he is, what he wants and what he likes. And he gets it. But he never expected something as sweet as Anya Gage to wander into his bedroom during a party he did not expect to be having to borrow his phone.

Knight tries to leave Anya to the life she deserves of white picket fences and a man who watches football on Sundays – good, normal and clean. But when Anya comes to his nightclub and finds herself in a situation, he knows someone has to look after her, he can’t fight it anymore and he decides that man will be him.

Knight teaches Anya that, just as with the bad, in life you should also expect the good. And he teaches her this by giving it to her.

But Knight has a dark past and just as he desires Anya for exactly who she is, he fears when she finds out exactly the man he has become and always intends to be, she’ll leave him for good, normal and clean.

My friend told me that I was missing out and she gifted me a copy of the book to read.

HOLY MOTHER OF HOTNESS!!  Uhm where have I been and why has someone kept the rock on my head for so long.  Knight is hot, alpha, naughty and just yum.

Knight is not a hero but an anti-hero.  I mean the guy is not a white picket fence kinda guy.  I mean he roughed up Anya’s landlord for not taking care of the apartment complex.  They weren’t even dating.  They jst met.  Now he isn’t the creep stalkery alpha’s you read about.  Actually he stayed as far away from her as he could get because she is so pure and he is not pure at all.  However, when she comes to his club and is getting harassed, he is no longer hiding but claiming Anya for own.

Anya is the girl who is beautiful but doesn’t think she is beautiful.  She is super low maintance and is the loyal to the end friend.  When her friend Sandrine (GRRR HATED HER FYI) drops her for “the one” she stumbles into Knights world.  She is whiplashed by his actions but she just kinds goes with it.  When the two start to date, she says no and he was like “well too bad because we are dating”.  I actually liked how he pushed himself into her life and made her realize that she is happier with him and he is too.

Man the stuff they go through is crazy.  I loved how no matter what Knight was honest with Anya.  She may not like what he has to say but he put it out there and never hid anything from her.  Anya was a calming balm to Knight.  She was able to tame him a bit while letting is stay HIM!!

I loved the story and ant wait to read more from the series.

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA. She nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn’t taken her first breath!).

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana but has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write.

Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multi-generational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland and existed amongst the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.

And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better.

Ren Lewis, who has faced every danger known to man, is about to meet a challenge he’s convinced has the power to undo him. When he discovers that his daughter, Adelaide, has been hiding a pregnancy he goes into hiding himself. Having a daughter was one catastrophe he struggled with. But now, being expected to welcome her baby into his home is not something Ren knows how to assimilate into his life. With a new ferocity he throws himself into his work in order to avoid family responsibility. And there’s enough work to keep him occupied with Vivian Bishop trying to infiltrate American homes, intent on controlling and manipulating their residents. Ren soon realizes that Vivian is his perfect enemy. She’s strategic, brilliant and stunningly beautiful.
In this third and final installment, the monster in Ren will have to do the unspeakable. He will have to evolve. Nothing in his life can be approached employing any of the strategies he’s used before. The evolution of Ren might be his undoing, but it might also be the one thing that brings him real happiness.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.

Ren is amazing and I’m so glad that Sarah Noffke let his story be told. Let’s face it he is snarky tell it like he sees it and holds nothing back no matter who you are he does not care. You either love him, hate him, or love to hate him but again he does not care. Then you add Adelaide his daughter to the mix and she is exactly like him only difference is she wants Ren to love her and care about her but the Monster in them both knows that is just not possible.

When God’s Little Monster ends we find out Adelaide is prego and now Ren is trying to stay as far away from her and the monster she created by tossing himself into his work. He has to find out what Vivian’s true game plan is before she implements her plan. She is out maneuvering them at every turn and there is a mole he has to flush out of the institute.

Back at home Adelaide was not dealing well with her new baby. He would cry all the time. Ironicly the only one that could clam him was Ren. I wanted to shake Ren for the way he was treating Adelaide while she was going through her pregnancy and when she was giving birth, I know he was just being Ren but WOW just WOW. Then with this the issues Adelaide was brining on herself, the nanny’s departing like leaves on trees in the fall, and the decisions Ren was making to solve this case it’s no wonder Dahlia walked away.

I loved this series Ren was the best he was the same no holds bar snarky man throughout the series. If he didn’t like someone which was mostly everyone he treated them the same throughout the entire series. Ren and Dahlia relationship was priceless only he and Dahlia could survive a relationship like this. The way he never called anyone by their real name only by names he chooses to call them by was great. The fact that Adelaide did the same thing was a hoot. The way Ren went about solving this case I wanted to throat punch him I mean really how could he do that to Dahlia. The way he treated Lucien I mean I shouldn’t be shocked it is Ren after all but come on Ren this is your Grandson, a baby, how bad can it be. The thing I loved the most about this series is how Sarah Noffke is able to intertwine her other series with this one there is Dr. David Reardon in here who I love seeing again by the way. Sarah had me guessing to the very end I thought I knew but she did a great job keeping in the dark tell the end. Each series I read I say this is my favorite then she writes another series and out does herself this is no different. I fell in love with Ren the first time I Read him and I still love him. I only hope I get to see him again sometime in another one of Sarah’s series.

Sarah Noffke writes YA & NA sci-fi, fantasy and dystopian. She is the author of the Lucidites, Reverians, Ren, and Vagabond Circus series. She’s been everything from a corporate manager to a hippie. Her taste for adventure has taken her all over the world. If you can’t find her at the gym, then she’s probably at the frozen yogurt shop. If you can’t find her there then she probably doesn’t want to be found. She is a self-proclaimed hermit, with spontaneous urges to socialize during full moons and when Mercury is in retrograde. Sarah lives in Central California with her family.

When all that you love is left behind, you are lost…

Owen is devastated. He was willing to give up everything for Daisy, but she refused. He wants to believe there is a way to bring her back, even if it means getting help from the unlikeliest of sources.

Daisy is numb. She has lost any ability to feel human emotion. Her dreams are her only escape from her dull existence, and even those are fading.

Owen and Daisy are both lost, and only their love for each other will bring them back together.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

OMG When the last book ended I was devastated.  I have been dying to get back to Daisy and Owen but life has been getting in the way soooo today when I had the chance….I DEVOURED IT.

The book picks up right after Daisy has given up her humanity to save Owen’s wings…sniff sniff…..Owen is lost and a MESS.  I mean his heart is broken.  We all know Owen wears his heart on his sleeve anyway but to not have his heart……sad broken Owen.

Daisy is trying to adjust to having no emotion.  She is trying and yet she can’t stop thinking about Owen.  She even gets annoyed at other Allures annnnd people that shouldn’t be happening…..remember no emotions are allowed.

The allures realize there is a bit of a snag in her transformation as Owen, his sister, dad and uncle…what uncle????  Go looking through the old basement of supernatural beings scriptures to find something to save Daisy.  When we find out about why Daisy isn’t fully transformed it was a cool plot twist.  When we see a supernatural going against the Allures for Daisy and Owens happiness I was giddy but the ending…….I was super excited for more of the series to come……

Never agree to a road trip to New Orleans with your roommate. At least not when your roommate is dragging you along while she reconnects with an ex-boyfriend. Possible consequences of failing to take my advice:

1) Unknowingly going out with a vampire stripper
2) Getting kidnapped by said vampire’s nest mates
3) Falling head over heels for your winged hero

Believe it or not number 3 is the worst one, especially when no one believes you that he exists.

There’s danger in the beauty…

Two years, six months, and twenty-five days. That’s how long it had been since I’d seen my winged hero— not that I’d been counting. I’d suffered through years of counseling just to convince my friends and family that I wasn’t crazy and knew he didn’t exist.

But he did. And I was done waiting.

Days after college graduation I headed back down to New Orleans to retrace my steps and find Owen again only to find my life was about to get even crazier… thanks to the most beautiful and dangerous of all paranormal creatures, the Allures.

“Oh, fuck. You’re so beautiful. You need this now, don’t you? Yeah,” he agreed when she nodded frantically. “Let it take you under. Let me hear you scream.”

Lily couldn’t think of anything she wanted more. As she circled her hyperaware nerve endings again, her body jerked. Desire surged. When Stone bent to take her nipple in his mouth, she clasped the back of his head and anchored him to her. Not that he’d do anything except help her drown. But this time nothing would be sweeter.

He dragged a hand up to her other nipple and tangled his fingers with her own. Together, they manipulated the tip of that breast while he sucked the other hard and scraped the very tip with his teeth.

Sensations mounted again. She felt like a vessel filling up with blood, with need, with an imminent explosion. It was right there . . .

Her legs shook. Her hips jerked. She whimpered, strained for it. She tasted need.

But she couldn’t seem to fall over the sweetly sharp edge.

Lily pressed harder against her clit, narrowing her circles, focusing on just how good this was going to be. The seconds ticked off in her head, slowly becoming minutes. The exquisite need was its own form of hell, and she couldn’t seem to escape.

The torture dragged on, and she saw no way out. She squeezed her eyes shut, feeling defeat begin to creep in.

Stone sprang into action, popping her nipple from between his lips and grazing her ear with his lips. “You got this, baby. Focus on my voice and close your eyes. Yeah, I know that’s hard, but I’ve got you.”

Oddly, she already believed that.

“Picture yourself naked and me standing over you, stroking my cock. You know I’m going to tell you how sexy you are and how much I want you. Imagine that I’d fall to my knees between those pretty thighs. When you hold your arms open to me, I’ll go right into them. Then I’m going to kiss you, touch every lush, tingling curve of your body, and when you’re begging, that’s when I’ll slide inside you. Deep. That’s when I’ll stroke you slowly and thoroughly and make you claw my back as you come.”

As he spoke, her desire and racing blood clashed, merged. Everything inside her roared to a screaming crescendo. The wall she’d been slamming into, preventing her from falling over, disintegrated. She envisioned exactly what Stone told her to picture. She saw herself being not just perfectly able but eager to lie back and welcome him inside her as he gave her mind-blowing pleasure and she surrendered herself completely.

I received this book for an honest review.

AMAZING and PERFET Novella!!  I laughed all the way through it because Sugar and Jared are being Sugar and Jared.  Lexi and Parker are being Lexi and Parker.

The novella is has our Sugar being WAY WAY WAY preggo with Jared’s baby.  She has been sidelined but her and Lexi have come up with a plan to investigate the new Titan recruits.  Now you have to know that Parker and Jared aren’t down with it but when their ladies put on the charms they fold.  Of course there are specifics the girls are to follow….are you kidding Jared and Parker!!

SO our girls are not listening and doing what they do best when there is a hostage situation with the Russian Mob at the gym they are inside.  I gotta tell ya, new guy Brock is so funny!!  Sugar and his banter was the best.  I mean who tells the person holding a gun to your head they did a crap job searching you for weapons… Sugar does of course!! LOL

So yes fans of the series you need this quick and fun read.  On top of the crazy fun there is the usual Titan A$$Kicking that we #TeamTitans expect. The next thing that we Titan Strong want and need..FAMILY.  This book is full of family love and family time.  It it one of te main reasons I love this series.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

This book picks up right after book 1 ends.  Lukas sees Ginny at a bar and is going to claim his heart.

So Ginny is BOMBED and a total mess.  She has no clue who this bigfoot is that is taking her away.  He sounds like Lukas but it can’t be Lukas.  He destroyed her and wouldn’t care at all about her.  The couple get reacquainted in a hotel room for a few days before Daddy Dearest shows up and threatens Lucas. So Ginny does what she has to do and leaves her heart in that room.  The book does some time hopping for 6 months when Lukas reappears and throws a monkey wrench in Ginny’s life and her daddy’s plans in regards to Ginny’s future.

I enjoyed the book but to be honest didn’t feel that it needed its own book???  Sorry Jessie!!!  I guess I felt like there story here was not soooo important that it couldn’t have been included in the first book of the story since the final book with be the showdown between Ginny, Lukas and her father Richard. I am looking forward to book 3 because I want to see Richard go down!!!!
